Vanagon Activities

I now carry a feeder with me when camping in my VW Vanagon after I saw a couple of Hummingbirds fly right through my camper. I came back the next week to this site near Baker Lake, Washington with a feeder and got swarmed! I filled this feeder 3 times that day.

A 3 day Camping / 4X4 trail expedition run to the Radio Towers above Mission Ridge Ski Area near Wenatchee, WA. MULE Expedition Outfitters hosted the event. We decided to try and get some Drone Video of the group leaving the towers while I stayed behind for 10 minutes to get my first attempt at following Vehicles from the air. This was May of 2015.

Had the Drone for 3 weeks. This is my first time testing the Follow-me feature. Feeling confident around the trees because I have the new Collision Avoidance System!

While on my way back from Baja, I decided to test a few features of my Drone. This video was edited completely from inside of the Drone, music and all. After 2 of these test, I decided I could get much better results using a real Video editor. At the 2"00 minute mark, in the distance is a huge Desert Solar Array and tower. I believe it has been decommissioned.

A trip to Vancouver Island to meet with Vanagon friends at the house of Kim and Nathan. Followed by a Syncro Caravan to one of Nathan's favorite despersed camp sites.

An Idaho Vanagon group camp-out at Sawtooth Lodge on Grandjean road September 2020

While visiting Northern Thailand, we came across a beautiful VW Double-Cab Pickup.

Instead of using a Go Pro or similar to record this woodland drive, I used my Drone and hung it from the ceiling with many stabilizing bungies. The results were surprising but required a lot of setup. The Drone has no microphone. I used a Camcorder on the dash to capture the sounds and spliced that into the video later.

Returning home after a 3 week stay near Republic, WA to experience what Winter is like. Special care on the road home watching for Deer crossing the roads. Driving in a 1991 VW Vanagon 4X4 converted to a 1.9L Turbo-Diesel Engine.

An experimental combination of 4 different drives over 3 months merged into one video. Driving from the Keller Grade to my friend's Ranch. Driving in a 1991 VW Vanagon 4X4 "Syncro" converted to a 1.9L Turbo-Diesel Engine.
