Here is my 2008 Xterra Offroad. I show my suspension modifications, simple sleep setup, storage solutions and film equipment. It doesn't take much to get out there and it doesn't take much to film it once you're there. Many people have asked about my rig and there just isn't much to it so I don't know how this ended up being 10mins! I will still post trails Tuesday’s but might start peppering these in for the other rigs you see on the channel. Anyway hope you enjoy it, ask any questions you may have and I'll get to them fast, thanks for watching!

If you like the content and have the means consider helping me out on Patreon! I'm fine with the work but unfortunately making these videos costs a lot of money in the end. As this (hopefully) grows I will have real rewards and benefits for the patrons. Thank you so much!

My Tires:
[ Ссылка ]

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.

My Tire Deflators:

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:

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:

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.

B Roll Shoes:

Might be the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on out of the box. I mostly run back and forth to get the camera but trail running shoes were all mesh uppers and seemed like I'd hurt the top of my foot on stuff and they'd fill with dirt. Never heard of an approach shoe but now I love them and the grip is insane.

My Tripod:
[ Ссылка ]

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 Dashcam(s):
[ Ссылка ]

So far so good, they record 3min clips deleting the oldest one and recording a new one if the card is full. Screen displays front camera, rear camera or both and can also playback and lock clips you don't want recorded over until you get home to upload.

My Drone:
[ Ссылка ]

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:
[ Ссылка ]

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:
[ Ссылка ] CO
[ Ссылка ] CO North
[ Ссылка ] Moab

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.
