Hiking around the Garden of the Gods, Colorado

Senior Skip Day divx

Having briefly visited the Garden of the Gods once before on my way to Philmont Scout Ranch, I knew I wanted to return one day for more exploring and hiking. Well, we got the chance to do that on our recent mini-honeymoon trip to Colorado. Staying right outside of Denver allowed us the chance to easily visit different cities and check out different sights including the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak.

Alien: Resurrection

If you don’t know about the Garden of the Gods, it is a public park in Colorado Springs which features some of the most spectacular red rock formations anywhere. Throughout the park, there are numerous hiking and walking trails, mountain bike trails, and horseback riding trails. Also, because of the crazy rock formations, you’ll find lots of places to rock climb within the park, but be sure to get your permit and have the right equipment before doing so! While in the park on a Monday, we saw at least 4 different groups of people climbing. You can pick up your climbing permit at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center.

Backcountry Video Gear & Tips

When going into the backcountry on a trip or even just for a day hike, everyone loves to take pictures, especially internet-types like myself. Documenting the trip as best as possible and the great sights is half the fun of going!

The Young Victoria movie download

However, with so many start up video bloggers out there, now many more people are into doing video gear reviews, video trip diaries, and just about anything else they could do with video. So while your own on your next trip and wanting to make a video, test a new piece of gear in a video review, or just want to capture the good times you are having with friends, here are some different items to make that happen better!

The Video Camera

Obviously the most important part of capturing videos is the video camera. Here you have so many options – everything from a normal bigger and bulkier tape camcorders to your DVD camcorders, hard disk cameras, and USB video cameras. Most of the time when going backpacking and hiking, you are worried about the weight of your gear, so I wouldn’t recommend anything too big here. If you have some money to spend on your camera, then something like a Canon Vixia would probably be a great choice with its 12x zoom and large display screen. But, for the more practical hikers out there, the Flip Video Ultra camera Masters of the Universe ipod is the perfect spot to start. It’s a simple USB camera that plugs right into your computer to allow you to manage your videos, hold up to 120 minutes of action, and weighs just 13 ounces. If you’ve watched any of the videos here at TheGearHouse Great Expectations buy , I’ve shot all of them with a Flip camera and it works great.

Get The Camera Stick

If you’re familiar with taking pictures of yourself or a group of you and your friends, you know that besides setting the self timer, the only way to get a picture, is to stretch your arm out and try to take a picture of yourself. Now, there is this great thing called “XShot” or as people have started calling it “the camera stick“. It screws into the hole on the bottom of your camera (digital camera or video camera) and allows you to extend the arm out 37″ to take video or pictures. It’s great for hiking, traveling, parties, rock climbing, camping, and anything else you need to take pictures or videos at!

Monopods

Something like the Canon Monopod would allow you to have a steady and adjustable surface to attach your camera to and be able to help you take better videos and pictures. There are even some camera monopods that double as hiking poles, so look out for those ones and you can double up on a piece of gear to use!

Waterproof, Bombproof Cases

No matter what kind of video camera (or regular camera for that matter) that you decide to purchase, be sure to get some kind of waterproof, water tight, bomb proof, crush proof case that will keep your valuable investment safe and free from danger. The Flip video camera has a specific “underwater” case that you can purchase that will work with it – Flip Video Underwater Case. Or just a basic Pelican Case would work so that you can protect your gear – Pelican Case

Tri Pods are Helpful

If you are going to be out alone and taking pictures or video of yourself while performing a task, say testing a piece of gear or setting up a tent, a Tri Pod is a great item to pick up. Just a cheap Tri Pod from Wal-Mart or other big box store will do the trick. Get something with adjustable legs so that you can make it steady on the terrain that you are going to be filming from. The Tri Pod I use for my video and pictures is one that I picked up at a Big Lots a few years back for $10 and it’s still working great.

With this gear, you should be ready to start producing some quality backcountry videos. The final steps include downloading to your computer, editing them, and then uploading them to sites like YouTube. Maybe we’ll have some future posts about that process! For now, enjoy taking videos and get out there!

Adventure Medical Kits Spark-Lite Firestarter and Tinder Quik Video Review

I love firestarters. Not as much as the American Bushman does, but I do love them. So when I got the chance to get my hands on a small lot of the Adventure Medical Kit Spark-Lite Firestarter and Tinder Quik, I knew I had to jump on it. So I did, and now I have them in stock and they are on TheGearHouse store

Scream 3 video This is a great little firestarter that weighs less than an ounce and produces a nice set of sparks, while using only one hand. I’ve put together a video for the full review and to so show how it works but thought I’d mention it real quick too. Within the package, you get the firestarter as well as a little baggie of Tinder-Quik. These are sort of like a braided rope but I’m not sure what the actual material is. Anyway, you get a baggie of 4 of them. They are reusable and they will even light when wet which is extremely important when you are in a survival situation and need to get a fire going. Each little piece, which are about an inch long, will burn for 2-3 minutes.

Coghlan's Emergency Tinder Review

Over the weekend I tested out the Coghlan’s Emergency Tinder. While reviewing a fire starting material is pretty easy to do in writing, it is one of those things that is better off done on video. So, here is a review and run through of how to use the Coghlan’s Emergency Tinder that would make a great addition to any firestarting kit.

Roleplay Camping Trip

This past weekend (before Thanksgiving) I had the chance to go camping with my Boy Scout Troop. I earned my Eagle Scout award in 2004 and have not been involved much with the Troop since going to college. Now that I am back home and in the area, I have been helping out with different things when I could. One of the major things that I jumped on was the chance to help plan a camping trip weekend based on a theme and set up different stations for the younger scouts to go to and practice skills. We call it a roleplay because we try to come up with different themes and organizations for the kids to be apart of. For instance, we have done Mission Impossible themes weekends, Lord of the Rings, Pirates, Campolot, 007, and more.

One of the best parts, besides getting a chance to teach skills and hang out with some people who are still involved in the Troop who had a great impact on my life, is the fun behind it all. We always wrap up the weekend on Sunday with a big ‘final battle’ after recovering clues on Saturday from the stations. The final battle usually includes a major water gun fight, but since we scheduled the roleplay for the weekend right before Thanksgiving, water guns were out. Instead, we got fun noodles and pipe insulators as weapons and ‘flour bombs’. The best part of the final battle is rigging up different explosions, rockets, and small black powder charges.

Here are a couple videos from the weekend to see a little more of what the final battle is like.

The white streaks going through the air which may look like a weapon or some kind of explosion are actually flour “bombs”. Basically we put about 3-4 tablespoons of flour in a tissue, sealed up an end with a rubber band, tape, or glue. When you throw them with some force they will break or leak. Then on impact they will burst and leave the target covered in flour. A very effective way to ‘battle’ in the cold when you can’t use water guns like we usually do. The other ‘weapons’ are pipe insulators and “fun noodles” or pool noodles.

Testing Different Fire Starting Materials

I recently tested out a few different fire starting materials using my Light My Fire FireSteel Scout. I tested unravelled twine, cotton balls, and cotton balls with petroleum jelly. All three worked great to light some small kindling with just a couple strikes of the firesteel. However, if you’re looking to make a survival or fire starting kit of sorts, I’d definitely go with the cotton ball with a clump of Vaseline or petroleum jelly in it. This will help it light quicker, burn longer, and be reusable if needed.

Watch the video for the full details! I’d love to hear your comments about different fire starting materials for when using a firesteel.

Light My Fire MayaDust Fire Starting Material

I recently got a new shipment of Light My Fire and UCO products in and wanted to start doing some testing with them. The first item that I wanted to test was the MayaDust by Light My Fire. The MayaDust is a great little survival item that everyone should be carrying in their pack when going out on a trip.

This firestarting material is a perfect way for you to quick get a fire going in any weather conditions. MayaDust is made of almost 80% resin which makes it extremely easy to light, even when wet – it also puts out a pretty hot flame. The container the MayaDust comes in is also waterproof!

GSI Outdoors Kitchen 27 Gourmet Kitchen Utensils

download Little Giants Backwoods movie download Here is another video that I put together walking through the different 27 utensils that make up the Kitchen 27 by GSI Outdoors. Similar to the small Kitchen 11, the Kitchen 27 is great for any gourmet camp cooking or backpacking adventure. The major difference between the Kitchen 11 and 27 is that the 27 includes cutlery for 4 (forks, two sizes of spoons, and knives). If you are looking for a gourmet kitchen kit, the Kitchen 27 is definitely worth taking a look at.
