Pomeroy Lakes. St Elmo, CO. Solo.

Pomery Lakes is a very scenic and mildly difficult trail. There aren't any huge obstacles but a couple of sections with tons of basketballs and beach balls everywhere. It looks worse than it is and with so many rocks around you're usually lifting up on any line you choose and will be fine. On some of the bigger ones the trail is wide enough to pass completely around or just put a rear tire on. The mine is very cool to look at but the upper portion is closed, please only visit the lower building by the road. The lakes at the top are tucked into the mountains and a very cool spot to hang out. I filmed this trail a little over 3 weeks ago, edited the whole thing, went to create the file and thought "Wait a sec! Where's the main obstacle!?" Turns out I hadn't hit record on the clip in question and that clip was absolutely necessary. I went back and got the clip this weekend and can finally post this, always something trying to make these! This is the clip at the 4:00 mark and is the most difficult part of the trail. There is a bypass for this which is what I take downhill for the Easter Egg. Have fun out there!

My Tires:

My Tire Deflators:
amzn.to/2nYVxzU
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. Set them at the trail so your tires will be the same temp when you get to the trail next time.
My Compressor:
amzn.to/2PuerLH
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:
amzn.to/2P1S3sb
My microphone is the worst good mic you can get. BUT don't be fooled, it's a very good mic. 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 a case? No. It stays connected to the tripod, gets thrown into my 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:
amzn.to/2o8h6hL
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:
amzn.to/2KUGWAp
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.
My Drone ND Filters:
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:

amzn.to/2BzDIBc CO North

FunTreks books are great. I like to bring as much information as possible when I go to the middle of nowhere. They have coordinates and maps for everything, very in-depth info on sturdy pages.
This is the stuff I've tested, this is what I like. I am very hard on all of my equipment frequently and it still works. 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.
