Hey Steve,

Was this hike from the South Winfield Trailhead?

[kenburdickcpa]

Thats a good idea. Have the goats carry your load up the mountain and then eat them. No, just kidding. Looks like fun!

Hi Steve, R&P

Excellent video. I like it.

Amazing... snow..ice and as always dirty great big mountains, here in VK6 we have no snow, no ice and no mountains.

Plenty of sandy beaches for a vertical antenna ground plane though, about 9000 miles of coastline here on the Indian ocean coast.

Say Gday to peanut for me

Cheers from Perth

[KC2UOO]

Awesome adventure and 1+ to the video. Must be fun juggling cameras and dealing with an expedition like that.

Glad you got the activation but good call heading down with the fowl weather

[F5LKW]

Fariba and I climbed Mont Ste. Marie (SOTA summit VE2/OU-001) with our HF gear, we were hoping for a summit-to-summit contact with you!

Great video, Steve!

Congrats to y'all and hope the WX cooperates next year.

[mobiltec]

Well done video for sure...

You're a lucky hiker with a strong stomach/intestines my friend. I've contacted giardia twice while hiking here in the Rockies. And it wasn't fun!! Hence I always boil or filter the water I drink without fail.

[NotSoOldHippy]

Awesome! The goats make it real. That's what I call extrem hiking!

[NotSoOldHippy]

By the way, I always drink the water without treatment of any kind, and it's never bothered me in the least. I hike, bike, camp, climb, and swim in the San Gabriel Mountains with all the pollution and deer shit and bear shit and everything else that comes from playing within easy reach of 22 million Americans, and never once had any problems drinking the water.

Wow, I am not into HAM Radio videos, but I had to watch...the hikes are amazing, and surprised to see your kid buddies along for the hike. Nice Work.

What part of Colorado was this filmed? I am not familiar with this hike and would love to give it a go with my wife

Take Care

Another epic in the can Steve. Enjoy every one of them immensely. Curious as to what camera and what video editing software is used to produce this most recent video? In earlier clips wasn't the the format wider?

[goathiker]

@shenb Thanks! I have a half dozen small camcorders, helmetcams and pocket digital cameras. I use different cameras for different situations etc. Thus the different formats. The helmetcam (hatcam) was on the 16x9 format in this case you noticed. I mostly shoot std. definition as it' easier to edit with the smaller files. I edit in Final Cut on my old G5 Mac. This last video took over 50-hrs of editing! Doesn't include the shoot!

[MisterClaws]

Hello! Sorry to hear you had bad weather. I was listening on 20m for you. I was going to activate BABY. (Big Al's Back Yard). hihi

Hi Steve, Rooster and Peanut, and all the other OMs from the N0B Team,

you did a great job ufb Video you´ll be more succsesfull on your next SOTA activation. Than you have good weather. HI 73 de DM5CQ, Stefan

[USNERDOC]

Great video Steve and very inspirational for this new ham. Looks like a great trip and a successful activation. Awesome video work and photography!

I had to watch the beginning a couple of time as there was some very useful information in the captions!

[USNERDOC]

I was curious about the details of the homebrew 10 watt solar panel, the Buddipole mini-coil (don't see that on their website), the modified Buddipole vertical dipole (? long counterpoise) and your impression of the Buddipole Li-PO batteries (I'm thinking of getting these for my portable power).

I just picked up an FT-857 and I'm quite anxious to get it up on the air.

Sorry for so many questions!

I love your videos . . . thanks!

[goathiker]

@USNERDOC Glad you enjoy the flicks! Guy & I got the PowerFilm panels ($2/each) @Dayton. He put his together using carpet tape and the camo fabric. also built a controller to limit voltage! Yes we were product testing the Mini-BP Coils which aren't available yet! The A123s are really nice, lightweight do the job. They do take a special charger. Contact Guy/N7UN for more info vertical & panels
