Backpacking in Europe - Documentary Can't Post

Hey Everyone,

I will be backpacking in Europe for an entire month over the summer along with 3 friends. I want to document this trip for our own personal libarary and memories but at the same time I wouldn't mind putting together a documentary about our experience.

We will be traveling via EuroRail to a total of 9 countries over 1 month. This is a second 1 month long trip we're going on together.

1- Any ideas on how to approach this?
2- What equipment to use? Since this trip is still a good amount of time away, I maybe be looking to upgrade to HDV by the time we go. (Tentative equipment budget will be $5,000.)
3- I'm also worried about theft as we will be staying at Hostels and sometimes sleeping on the train between countries.
4- Does anyone have experience documenting this kind of trip?

MTV is doing a show (True Life: Backpacking in Europe) where they will follow two people traveling throughout Europe. I'm not sure when that's going to be done.

Any ideas / suggestions would be appriciated.


Best,
Arkadeous
