Every possession is a burden

Updated April 2018

It is no secret that I love my gadgets! But lugging all the gadget on every trip is simply not practical. But as visitors to our blog, I know you are curious as to what we use and so here’s a list of our nerdy possessions:

Camera Gear
Nikon D7000, 18-200mm and a 50mm
Leica v-lux Typ 4 25-400mm
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3
Canon Powershot ELPH 300 (Jeff’s)
Canon SX720 (Jeff’s)
Ricoh Theta SC (360 Camera)
SJCAM M20 Action cam doing double duty as trip dashcam

Blogging Tools
iPad Air with Logitech Ultrathin keyboard
MacBook Pro. Photo editing with iPhoto, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements
Microsoft Surface Pro

Communications
BlackBerry Q10 … ugh, I want my iPhone back…
Blackberry Passport
iPhone 6s Plus
iPhone X

BlackBerry Z10 (Jeff’s) Samsung Note 5 S8
iPhone 4S (Caroline’s, but it’s really mine…)

OnStar – LTE/Wifi

Delorme InReach SE 2-way Satellite Communicator – for off the grid adventures

GPS
I don’t recall the models, but we have one for the truck that we hardly use as it is so useless and a etrex for hikes. (Although not exactly a GPS, I would like to get a SPOT)

Jeff will always have his point and shoot camera on him. Whereas I’m just too lazy to always be clicking! I can always count on him to take pictures when we least expect it.

If you’re wondering about this website, it is hosted on Google Cloud Platform with the Bitnami wordpress stack. I’m taking advantage of GCP’s “Always Free” tier.. well, it’s not exactly free but it will work for my needs.
