The UHWK point of view video camera

This sleek designed video camera easily attached to your helmet. Inside the box, it comes with a few straps and ways to mount on a helmet, including hockey and football. It can also be worn on a headband. The camera shoots in either 1080 at 30 frames per second OR 720 at 60 frames per second. It records in a .MOV file, which most video editing programs recognize. It also records sound, pretty much just of the wearer, so your voice can be heard. 

A simple slide of the on/off switch starts the recording. 

The internal battery can last about 100 minutes of recording and then needs to be recharged using the enclosed micro USB cord. 

The camera lens has a wide field of view at 150 degrees.

Focusing on running.....well kind of

I have begun to really focus on my running. I have a trail run on my calendar for November.  So the past few weeks I have begun focusing more on my running. The training runs have moved to early morning to avoid the heat of the summer here in Arizona. I am feeling stronger and getting faster already. I am not out to set any record breaking times or anything but just finish it. Tried a few new pairs of shoes and am really leaning towards the HOKA ONE ONE Speed Goat trail running shoe.  The two pairs of my own shoes, I am using right now are breaking down. I will need to get a new pair of shoes before too long. The race is 14 miles long, so just over the half-marathon mark. My training so far has been on streets and sidewalks. I will need to get out on the trail soon and get used to the uneven trails with rocks every so often. 

VENTURE 4TH Self Inflating Sleeping Pad

The VENTURE 4TH Self Inflating Sleeping Pad requires no pump at opening the valve starts the pad inflating by itself. There is a layer of foam inside that gives it great structure. 

You can, and I have, added more air into it by blowing in the valve to make the pad more firm.  With many camping trips we use to use an air mattress having to bring along an inflator to inflate it before going to bed. Not with this pad. The air mattress would alway lose air overnight with no visible leaks in it. So far, the VENTURE 4TH Self Inflating Sleeping Pad is staying inflated throughout the night. It folds and rolls small and will be part of our hiking ventures in the future. With the shape of it, it could be inserted inside your sleeping bag if you have a difficult time staying on top of it. It supports the body very well. We have had some difficulty folding and rolling back small enough like that it originally came like. I have come close, but they take up way less room than the old air mattress we used to use.  It is lightweight and very compact though. I would highly recommend the VENTURE 4TH Self Inflating Sleeping Pad. Although it is self inflating, I have added air to make it more firm. It is very comfortable and holds the air well. No carrying any inflators or batteries to inflate.

The Swonder Full Snorkel Mask

extra valves and the bolt for the GoPro mount 

If I ever get to an ocean or clear lake to sight see, but in the pool this is still great. This one piece 180 degree panoramic view is incredible. After sizing up the adjustable straps on the back of the mask, it was a little different sliding my head into the mask. The snorkel sits on top and allows the user to be able to submerge themselves without letting water come in. The direction the air moves around the mask, does not even enter the area your eyes and rest of your face it, keeping the mask from fogging up. Breathe through your mouth and nose. I like the added bonus of the GoPro type mount placed on top of the mask, allowing you keep your hands free to swim. The mounting position allows for you to record what you are viewing.
