Join me for an ultra high definition real time driving tour of Deadwood, South Dakota!
Deadwood, South Dakota is the county seat of Lawrence County, South Dakota which means it is where the county courthouse is located. The population of Deadwood is about 1,500 people today, but during its height as a gold rush town had a population that might have reached as high as 25,000 people. Deadwood is located in the Black Hills Mountains.
Deadwood is famous for its history, and the entire town is listed as a historical landmark.
Despite the territory legally belonging to the Lakota people, settlers began encroaching on the area in the 1870s. In 1874 gold was discovered which kicked off the Black Hills Gold Rush. The population boom brought with it a reputation for the rough ways of the Wild West, with violence, brothels, and gambling. Including the infamous 1876 murder of Wild Bill Hickok.
Several famous Wild West personalities including Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are buried in the Mount Moriah Cemetery located in Deadwood, South Dakota.
✦ GEAR I USE ✦
📸 Cameras:
---------------------------------------------------
I get a lot of questions about the cameras I use. Here are my main cameras:
• [GoPro Hero 13](amzn.to/4fobat4)
• [GoPro Hero 13 Creator Edition] (amzn.to/3AqaW5t)
This is a very durable camera. It withstands the elements and can go places other cameras can’t. There are many accessories available for GoPro cameras which makes the camera endlessly customizable and versatile. If you are intending to make vlogs or travel videos where you speak, you might prefer the creator edition which comes with more accessories.
• [DJI Osmo Pocket 3](amzn.to/4fiXK1q)
• [DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo] (amzn.to/3YCoClM)
This little handheld camera is very easy to pack because of its small size. It is not as rugged as the GoPro, but is easy to carry and make stable video. I use the creator combo version which includes an additional battery and a microphone that can be clipped to your shirt for improved audio which I like for filming walking tours.
🔋 Other useful tech:
---------------------------------------------------
• [DJI OM 6](amzn.to/4hEfJRp)
This device attaches to a smartphone to help record more stable video.
• [GoPro Enduro Battery](amzn.to/4hK8Y0g)
An extra battery for the GoPro.
• [Anker USB-C Cable](amzn.to/4ek5jUh)
A flexible and durable charging cable that charges quickly.
• [Anker USB-C Power Bank](amzn.to/40FGsH2)
These are great for recharging my phone or cameras while traveling, and are also useful for power outages.
• [Anker MagGo Power Bank] (amzn.to/3ABUzTi)
This battery connects directly to the back of iPhones that have MagSafe and can charge the phone without the use of a cable.
• [Samsung Micro SD Card 256 GB](amzn.to/3O009BY)
This memory card works on most small cameras, and can record for a long time.
• [Samsung 2TB SSD Portable SSD](amzn.to/4fHJjna)
I take this hard drive with me when I travel so that I can back up the footage that I record on my trip. It fits in one of the pockets inside my tech case, and holds a lot of footage.
✈️ Travel gear I like:
---------------------------------------------------
• [Peak Design Travel Duffel](amzn.to/3O0uvEi)
This durable bag fits easily into the overhead compartments on airplanes and the straps can be configured to be comfortably worn as a backpack, which is nice for long walks through an airport.
• [Peak Design Tech Pouch Large](amzn.to/4ek03jq)
• [Peak Design Tech Pouch Small] ( amzn.to/40HTfca)
I have both sizes, and have used the larger one consistently for many years. They are incredibly durable, and nicely fit all of my camera gear. I like that I can fit a GoPro inside of the larger one, along with cables, SD Cards, a battery and a small hard drive. People traveling with less gear or less space in their bags might prefer just the smaller pouch.
• [Wetcat Turkish Beach Towel] (amzn.to/3UJfWc0)
This towel spreads out large, but packs up tiny and dries quickly. I have disliked every other pack towel I have ever used, but this one is made of cotton and feels soft and does not have a funny smell.
• [Yeti Cooler](amzn.to/3YLM9AK )
Buying food when traveling gets expensive, so I try to pack as much food as I can. This cooler keeps things fresh for a long time. It also means that I can pick up local foods when I go places and bring them home with me.
