thanks bilfman!
bigfoots are sweet campers, would have liked to got one, but around here they don't come up for sale often, & when they do they, it seems like their priced like the Airstreams of the trailer world ....

just hope that place stays remote (no names given....:lol:) used to be rough old logging roads in, but a few months ago the power company did a number on some of them to get their equipment in, do-able in most anything now- curse or blessing?

Here's a link for the roll bar mount I have.

You can see it comes with a couple of links to add so you can set the camera up square. As far as music with your video, the Gopro software will allow you to import any music you have into your video. Takes a little time to play around with it, but the software is pretty easy to use .

Re: post up your camping pics

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Good Job! The GoPro software is pretty fun to play around with. One thing to watch, depending on the artist you use for the music on your video when you post it on youtube they may edit it for you. Due to copyrights they can strip your chosen music off to avoid having to deal with royalties.

You'll know it's happening as it will stop the process to post the video. It will stop it and advise you and suggest some similar generic music.

my son was a little perturbed i did'nt take him up mt cheam with me last june, so a few weeks later, we hit the mountain again
Attachment 1437750

for an almost 70 yr old mutt (in doggie yrs), dieseldawg was raring to go again, but near the top his age started catching up, he went & laid in the snow for 15 minutes, and we only had to go threw snow this time if we felt like it

it was easier this time with no snow, but for some reason it seemed steeper.....:lol:

Re: post up your camping pics
 

my son & me went on a very special hike today.

a little background, back in 1956, a North Star (DC-4) took off from Vancouver BC with extra fuel in case it could'nt land at Calgary. just up the road from us when it was near Hope, an engine caught fire. it turned around to head back to Vancouver but turned the wrong way & slammed into the east side of Mount Slesse at a hi rate of speed (with extra fuel :(.... )the plane & all 62 people on board literally disintegrated, they hit about 200 ft from the top, some pieces flew up on top of the mountain, the rest tumbled 2000 ft down the mountain. it is a extremely remote area, with no access, it took 5 months to find the wreckage.

it truly is a moving place....

Mount Slesse, or as we locals call it "the Fang". about 15 yrs ago i came up the west side on Razorback ridge ( dont need ropes) & found no wreckage. that route has been closed off since some major slides. we decided to go up the east side where the North Star hit, without ropes though, we're not going to the very top this time. in '95 our guvment finally made it an offical grave site, & whacked a half-assed trail up about 1/2 way, & put up a memorative plaque. the trail ( if you can call it that) goes past the plaque a small way, then your on your own, the immense snows change & wipe the mountain every yr

the road is in horrible shape, had to pick our way over 3 slides, & that hill is steeper than it looks, did'nt want the truck wandering off....
Attachment 1443887

at the start, you can just see Slesse over the trees. cool little bridge...

the plane hit about 200 ft from the top, when we got closer, you can still see scars 60 yrs later

you can really see where the snow comes down Crossover

at about 6000 ft, & my 10 yr old fart is still hanging in there, he was a little sore & tired when we got home

that's Station D peak beside Slesse
Attachment 1443918Attachment 1443919

we're sneaking up on Slesse, the last 1500 ft or so were TOUGH! no trails & we're bushwacking right up the side of the mountain, this was a hard climb
Attachment 1443920Attachment 1443921

almost at the base of the Slesse spire, without ropes, we're not going up it
Attachment 1443923

Re: post up your camping pics
 

we made it to the base. the rock is all worn smooth around it. if we had more time, i'm pretty sure we could get across to Crossover, then up Razorback, but we also know a storm is blowing in later in the day-not the place to be....
Attachment 1443924

there's also about a 600 ft drop along the way, & nuts, i dont have dawg's leash again....

looking up the spire. it was very humbling being there, looking where the plane hit, where it landed, pieces of people still on the mountain, we came across small pieces of DC-4. my son & me never talked, it was just like, i dont know, nothing needed to be said, the granduer of the place, & the tragic-ness of it...

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Found myself a camper , quite well equipped with a/c, furnace, bathroom with shower and outdoor shower. Installed a 40 w solar panel and also put in a 1500w inverter so can live pretty much off grid. More of a 'glam'per then a camper, but it is wife approved !
