Metberry Gulch. Divide, CO. Solo. #61

Metberry Gulch is an awesome trail through the Hayman Burn Area that ends at a river. 16 years later it is still obvious a fire came through but some areas look like a jungle. The rock formations are endless, I only filmed ~20% of the interesting rocks. The place has multiple colors of rock, dirt, and plants, it's like another planet in sections. The Notch has been repaired, I did easy way down, hard way up. Chicken Scratch Hill had all of the holes filled, I didn't film it because I passed it. Someone mentioned doing that at The Notch but it's getting rutted out again. The Slab has been repaired, no more giant rut at the bottom. You still get to flex it out a little and there's plenty to see. Have fun out there!

My Tires:

I love these tires. You can probably imagine the amount of driving I do weekly and how much abuse my tires get. These things last, everyone knows this, you've seen it in my videos.

My Tire Deflators:

These tire deflators have many $15 copies but the others just don't hold up or are inaccurate. I don't know what the deal is, they look identical to me too but read the reviews- they're bad. I've been using these Staun's for over a year and never had a problem, I air down a lot. I recommend setting them at the trail so your tires will be the same temp when you get to the trail next time.

My Compressor:

There are better ones but I'd just get a bigger VIAIR, not someone different. Airs up all my 33's from 14psi to 37psi in less than 10 minutes. The in-line gauge is inaccurate when the compressor is on because of the pressure passing through. You need to switch it off to get a real reading. You can combat this by figuring out what incorrect reading corresponds to the real one. When mine is right at 3 Bar (43psi) it's slightly over 37psi. I put it on another tire and then use my real gauge to set it exactly.

My Microphone:

My microphone is the worst good mic you can get. BUT don't be fooled, it's a very good mic in my opinion and I've been very pleased with the results. Picture me getting in my car for the 50th time after I just ran up and down a hill... for the 50th time. Do you see me disconnecting my mic and gingerly setting it in some sort of nice case? No. It stays connected to the tripod, gets thrown into my all plastic cargo area and bounces around with other heavy items until the next one. It gets terrible interference from WiFi so you must make sure that it's off on your camera or phone. If you are trying to use this with your phone you need to get a TRS to TRRS cable which RODE makes. This is required because your phone will think the mic is headphones.

My Tripod:

As mentioned, I'm hard on the entire setup. I went through 2 tripods in 1 month, a $20 and a $30. Buy it nice or buy it thrice. This thing gets opened and closed MANY times per week in rain, snow, dirt, and even in the middle of rivers. I love the 2-stage legs so i can make it real low in 2sec instead of shortening all the legs.

My Drone:
https://amzn.to/2Ug6qMD

The Mavic, I think it's fantastic. You can tell how easy it was to progress through my videos. Besides maybe five times, you've seen every bit of flying since I got it. I don't fly in the city and I don't go to the mountains and not make a video. It is VERY easy to use. Took a little bit to get the settings dialed in but I learned everything I know on YouTube.

My Drone ND Filters:
https://amzn.to/2MHV0R0

The filters are a must. Again I have the worst ones and I am still very pleased. My first use was video #35 and I think it is very apparent. Illinois Gulch (#34 obviously) has a completely white sky, way too much blue. I'm still not even good about selecting the right one or changing them out but it's 10x better than nothing.

My Books:

FunTreks books are great. I like to bring as much information as possible when I go to the middle of nowhere. There's also no substitute for books and maps. Unless you drop it in the fire, it's going to work. They have coordinates and maps for everything, very in depth info on sturdy pages.

This is the stuff I've tested. I am very hard on all of my equipment frequently and it's still worked. I back all of these items and each company seems to back their product very well too. I guess it's easy to offer a warranty when your stuff doesn't break.
