Around 25 between us, I had a 2 ton, 28 wide, diesel 35 wide, Rd7, D2 5u, . There was a fellow west of Red deer, that had one.

Awesome to meet you and the folks with Yellow Power. Hopefully I’ll have more folks to give tours to now that you’ve made this vlog LOL

That is a fair question, I added a new mic to my go pro for two reasons, make it more clear to understand when I’m talking and to get rid of the noise that could be heard every time I moved my hand. However it added some too heavy weight to the whole apparatus now that makes it harder for me to keep it steady when walking. Now I have to add a gimbal to the mix to compensate for all of that.
