I have a headband and its kind of a pain to start stop and take pictures between videos. So I would go with a chest harness mount or rig something up on one of your backpack straps

Yeah a head strap would be good if you want to capture whatever you look at and should not be a problem to stop and play and take pictures since this cam comes with a remote which does all three of those functions. A chest mount is good if you just want to record whatever is straight ahead its kind of hard to record something up high. I use the chest harness for skiing but I am going to switch to a helmet mount since when you lean to ski the camera points at the ground even with it tilted at max angle.So for hiking I would recommend a head strap so you can record whatever you looking at.

Hi Barbara,I bought mine last year and i have had zero problems with it and it is very secure. I filled mine with sand as it said you should and it worked great! I live in an area where we have a lot of wind and it did not waver a bit. I also have pea gravel over the bottom lip flush with the upper lip of the base and it has not moved in the first year yet. I have mine by a path leading up the side of my waterfall and the lights look great!! I hope this helps and thanks. Rick

Fishing spot or any other location can be marked as a waypoint and returned to. I do it all the time. Take time to read the manual and practice with the unit. do it at home before you go fishing to practice. Remember the unit has to be in motion to read correctly. It relies on the motion picked up by the satellites. You can walk briskly and the unit will function fine.

I haven't had any problems here in our northern Utah mountains. Any problems maybe due to the valve stem in cold weather. I actually love this device; it's quick, easy, and always accurate.

I recommend always using stakes. Helps keep tent perimeter tight - and using the top guys keeps tent stable. We do most of our camping in the Eastern Sierra Mtns or in deserts of Southern California. Never know when the wind will come up. Why take a chance?

I've heard that motionbased.com adjusts the elevation readings now to reflect more accurate elevations. I don't own one yet, but am looking to buying one and have heard this from a few friends who own the 305. This, from what I understand, is the 305's biggest weakness! However, I still want one above any other of its kind...

I am in a low altitude area and have not had any issues. If you want a more definitive answer, call Bunn customer service at 217-529-6601. When you talk to a representative, it's not a bad idea to request the optional sprayer head, which slows down the water flow just a touch during the brewing process. This will eliminate any possible overflow that may lead to grounds getting into the pot of coffee, should you use a fine ground. It also makes for a better brew of tea. They usually send it at no charge. Hope this helps.

Works based on a consistent stride, so may not be the best for hiking. And with long distances, be careful of overuse tendonitis too, try Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis if you get it.

Since all the fish here in Utah are under 5lbs, hard to say. It is a lot more rugged than I really need. I get funny looks like I'm fishing for something much bigger than i'm going to catch. It's not like the super fat poles but it's not skinny either. Wish I could help you more.

Update: I decided to talk with one of the guys in my hiking club before making the purchase, as he owns the older Kahtoolas. Initially we thought that the extra heel spikes weren't worth the extra money, since you lead & step off the ball of the foot, not the heel. Once on the snow & ice covered trails, however, we thought that the extra spikes could make a difference on some of the trickier descents, especially given my back issues. By the time I ordered the updated spikes on Dec. 19, the less expensive ones were temporarily not available in my size, so the price differential between the two styles became a moot issue. The vendor shipped them by priority mail, so they arrived on Christmas Eve. This was a plus, as I signed up for standard shipping, and did not expect my order that soon. I used my new Kahtoolas yesterday and am VERY pleased. No problems! At one point on the trail, many of my hiking cohorts sat on their backsides to slide down an icy rock. Using my trekking poles & new Kahtoolas, I stepped (albeit gingerly, because of my back) down the rock. My hiking buddies with Yak Trax do not have the stability or security that I experience with the Kahtoolas.

I live in slc utah, and park outdoors. It has 2 bars that go across for support. I broom it off after it snows. Works great

I found the poles to be extremely light and sturdy. They have worked well on all my hikes. I am very pleased with my purchase and would purchase them again when needed. I have no complaints or disappointments with the hiking poles.

IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell. On a dark road, I find the terrain view gives me a better idea of what to expect ahead during the times I have to drive slowly.Now, I like to look at views when its safe, but at night there's nothing to see, except what's via the Garmin. I traveled up an unfamiliar windy mountain road on a trip a few months after purchasing my 3790, and "saw" the canyons and rivers running nearby. I'm not talking about side views, but a pseudo topographical mode that gave me enough information to feel I wasn't entirely "in the dark" going thru an area I might never pass by again. But that's just me. :) IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell.

We used ours mainly on hard ground or pavement. Never had it in soft ground. I would think that it would bog down in mud or soft grass. Mountain trails and paths would probably be fine. We've really enjoyed ours. Have a Yorkie and a Maltese and there is plenty of room for both at once. Well made product. I don't think you would be disappointed. We do recommend it.

I have used YakTrax Walk+ (this model), Walk, and Pro for hiking. They're great for a little bit of ice on the trail or lots of snow. The Pro works the best imo, since there are straps. The shape and different material in this model make them much easier to kick off while on the trail. If you're a more serious hiker I would recommend the "extreme" version with the steel spikes.

In my experience and other service member experience, you have to be careful with that bit of rubber in the middle of the sole that connects the springs to the studs and the two rubber bits at the toe. This was just with running. I would not recommend them for hiking, but would stick to something with chains.
