Togwotee boondocking helmet cam

Procrastinated til the last day and til after we'd tracked up a big play area to dig out the helmet cam. Unfortunately that meant not a lot of great virgin pow and flat light/crummy focus. Oh well, still turned out pretty decent. Nothing real extreme, just some meadow wandering in a snowstorm. I didn't have it on at all earlier in the week when it was sunny and we were in the more extreme stuff. I just hate messing with the damn wires.

You'll want to right click that and save it to your PC probably. It might be kindof big to stream unless you've got a big internet pipe.
 
I too played with mine this past weekend in Tog. Oregon Scientific, very happy with the video quality but the angle needs a little work, it points to far downward and plugs up with snow when busting cornices.

I was thinking of buying that same cam, is it worth looking at. Do you have any problems keeping it secured to helmet?
 
viosport helmet cam with 30 gig hard drive, last year i recorded 6-8hr days at tog all on video. you also have alternate lenses from zoom to wide angle. its all about the pixels.

Great video...makes me want to get a helmet cam. Who is the artists on the second to last song that you have on the video. My wife and I have been trying to figure it out. It sounds very familiar! Also, I've never heard that "snowmobile" song. Who is that?

Very cool!

The second to last song is "Looking at the world from the bottom of a well" by Mike Doughty. He used to front the band Soul Coughing, which is probably why it was familiar.

The snowmobile song is from Stompin Tom Collins. Love that song. :)

That would be Stompin Tom Connors www.StompinTom.com
and here are the lyrics

It's Wintertime and the weather's fine
The snow on the woods and fields when I reveal... my snowmobile
Thrill by thrill by golly n' hill
Baby it'll make ya feel like an outdoor meal...
On a snowmobile
-up
Listen to the sound when the belts go round '
When the winter carnival's here...
And oh what fun at the crack of the gun
When the whole gang disappears...
verse
The race is on from the bush to the pond
And back where the judges's feel you've won their seal...
For the snowmobile
You've won their seal... for the snowmobile

Where skier's ski, and skater's be and snowshoes lend appeal
Like a bogie wheel,... On a snowmobile
We tip the glass to the northern lass for she won't let ya kneel
She'd rather squeal -...on a snowmobile
-up-
You're off to the town where the word goes round
It's winter carnival time
In goggles, boots, and a snowproof suit Your sweethearts on your mind
Ya win the race and you see her face and you know that she must feel
You've got a real... good snowmobile- repeat

Now down the street U can hear the beat & the clickin of the dancer's heel
When the fiddler's peel... off a ragtime reel
You dance and tear with an "I don't care
On the way back home you'll wheel-over hill and field -On a snowmobile
up-
Through the golden glow on powdered snow
When the moon comes rolling along
On a homeward trail U can hear the wail of the whole gang singing a song..

If tomorrow's clear with fishin gear
We'll head for a lake trout meal With a rod and a reel-and a snowmobile
Life can be real with a snowmobile There ain't no deal like a snowmobile
 
T.A. - Did it change the quality of the video by glueing the extra lens on it? How did you mount yours? I have the Cat snow cross helmet and epoxyed it to the tail light mount. I need to get a new one and just move it back about a 1/2" and I think it would be great.
