Hay Creek East is a very easy trail outside of Woodland Park near the end of Schubarth Trail. It is open year round but can have snow roll in quickly. No real obstacles but obviously real nice view near the end at the rock formation. We were meant to do Ormes Peak Road but the gate at Rampart was closed. It's listed as opened year round (along with others "inside") so I'm not sure what the deal is if you can go in on Mount Herman or something. I used to go in on Dakan years ago but that's now seasonally gated as well. Anyway we were going to give up and just go check Cave Of The Winds but I recognized Loy Creek Road on our way out and decided to take it. Immediately recognized Schubarth and remembered there was one or two trails at the end I had been eying. It all worked out and aired up just as the sun went down. Have fun out there!

My Tires:
amzn.to/2whk2MF

I love these tires. The only others I'd take are the BFG KO2 but they don't make them in this size and the KM2's are amazing. 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:
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 something different. Airs up all my 33's from 14psi to 37psi in less than 10 minutes.

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

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.

    Great video as usual man. It's good to see you finding trails to do during these winters times because now I'm gonna have to go do this! Camera work & drone work was top notch as usual
  • @TrailRunner44
    The gate on Rampart closes every year to vehicles there and the end point in Garden of the Gods on Dec. 1 or earlier dependent on snowfall. But open for dirt bikes, pedestrians, etc. year round. Learned the hard way last year. Haha. But looks like you got after it either way!

    You have a different roof top tent. You should do a walk-through video and vlog more. Love your Xterra...I have one myself. Kudos brother!

    It sure is a beautiful trail especially with a little snow on it. I love the herd at the end and the drone shots!! You always do a fantastic job loved it!
  • @KOTW.Adventures
    I've never tried snow camping - most of our mountain trails get closed in the winter in Victoria, Australia.
  • @NoProDad
    Awesome job shooting these solo! 👍🔥
  • @AllThingsOverlanding
    Looks pretty awesome! At least you've got some snow, :D. I was just about to ask you what ND filters you were using, but then I checked your description, haha. Keep up the good work bro!
