Fulltime RV Living Adventures
This past fall I spent a week dry camping in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (as mentioned here). While the weather wasn’t as warm as I had liked, the sights were still fantastic. I captured some really nice video and photos while there and finally got around to putting a short video together. I… [Read More]
I ordered and received a DJI Phantom 3 from “Camera Professionals” via Amazon.com. I am VERY HAPPY and in love. What an unbelievable piece of engineering! My hat is off to DJI – incredible job boys! I have to first echo several important things that I have read recently. 1. Start with a trainer quadcopter/drone/UAV. … [Read More]
This past week I uploaded some more raw flying video footage from my Drift HD camera to my computer and I thought: “Self, you have a lot of good video footage but you have done nothing with it in at least six months. You should be ashamed.” I am ashamed. The problem is that processing… [Read More]
Note from JD: This is the third installment of this trip. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. The day dawned spectacular on Saturday so there was no doubt that lots of flying was on the agenda. The first order of business?? Breakfast, of course. Breakfast was being hosted at the Big Creek airstrip… [Read More]
Note from JD: Part 1 of this trip is here. Friday dawned cool, cloudy, and wet. We launched as early as possible to start our exploring adventure but there just wasn’t enough cloud clearance to get very far. When the clouds are sitting at mountain top level, it is pretty easy to fly up and… [Read More]
I reported on last year’s trip to the Idaho backcountry here. We had such a great time that we decided to do it again this year! We is me and my neighbor with a Vans RV-4 (among eight other airplanes that he has built himself). I’m late posting this report – we actually made the… [Read More]
I LOVE the west!! I’ve been itching for a good back country mountain bike ride for awhile but schedule has just not allowed it. Things opened up for this past weekend and I jumped at the chance. I decided to give the San Mateo Mountains a shot. The San Mateo Mountains are about 45 miles… [Read More]
The weekend of May 31 – June 2 2013 was the annual work weekend at the Negrito backcountry airstrip. The thought of physical labor is pretty close to the bottom of my ‘favorite things’ list. However; this was for a most excellent cause and involved flying and camping. So, I was in. The video below… [Read More]
I am seriously impressed by Drift Innovation! I purchased an older Drift HD 170 stealth digital video camera a year ago from one of the retailers. The camera worked well for several months and then started having a focus problem. At times, it seemed like it wasn’t too bad – just not sharp. This eventually… [Read More]
Several weeks ago I stopped at the Double Circle Ranch backcountry airstrip in Arizona. Yes, I know, I am way behind on my video production… 🙁 I mentioned the stop at Double Circle in the this post and I still feel the same way – it is a really neat place! The runway is a… [Read More]
