Network Attached Storage (NAS). What is it? Why would you want it?
Переглядів 3589 місяців тому
Laptops are great but try to find one with 4 terabytes of storage space! Keeping a mini-tower desktop PC as a file server is one option but expensive and takes up a lot of space. I’m not a fan of cloud storage so that led me to a NAS solution (Network Attached Storage). Think of it as your own private cloud. In this video I explain what’s a NAS and why you might want to consider it for your dat...

Glad to see.psalms. thx
Dude, talk normally
Did they show the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind on a large outdoor movie screen while you were at the campground? I heard that the proprietors project the film for a live audience each night, weather permitting. Thanks for the video.
Visited the Dunes back in 2009 and it is insanely quiet at night. Beautiful scenery and experience.
Yes, only the coyotes in the distance break the silence. Thanks for watching.
music ruind the video
Everyone has their own taste in music. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Great! Just moving to an area with big white birds!
Have fun!
love this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The second time you said black bear you were correct but not the first time
At least I'm 1 for 2!
That’s not a black bear it’s a grizzly, note the huge hump on the shoulders
You're right! That was a mistake I made while filming. At that point 95% of my brain is focused on the experience and filming it. The 5% left over can easily make a mistake. Thanks for watching.
Sir I am Indian i love Alaska
We love Alaska too! Thanks for watching.
I have been loving watching your videos as we are getting ready to visit Acadia next week. Thanks for all the great tips! This video of the White Mountains had added another trip to my bucket list. I had a question for you. What do you use for your aerial footage? And also, I would love to start creating videos of our vacations for our family to share. Being new to it all, what editting software do you use? Thanks so much in advance for any help and advice!
Glad you like our videos. I hope you find inspiration and tips for your adventures. I do most everything on the cheap for my channel as it is just my hobby (for now). I'm on my 3rd drone; the first got stuck at the top of a tree, the second got hit by a bird above a lake and fell in. I say all that to advise not to spend too much on a drone and only as much as you can emotionally afford to lose. The financial loss is small compared to the emotional loss. My current drone is the DJI Mavic Mini (version 1). I've had this for over 3 years and LOVE it. My review here: ua-cam.com/video/odFLFT769js/v-deo.html I use OpenShot Video Editor. It is FREE, not too difficult to use, and runs on my dated laptop. Plus there are several OpenShot tutorials on UA-cam. Enjoy your trip to Acadia!
@@ParksandPlacesOnline Thank you so much for the info! That's actually the drone that I was looking into getting. Sadly I will not have it in time for our stay in Bar Harbor. I will definitely check out that editing software. Thank you again and keep up the great videos!
This thing kicked my butt today but made it to the end. Awesome
It isn't an easy hike. Glad you made it to the end. Thanks for the comment!
Ha! Yeah, welcome to the world of underappreciated videos. You did a great job, shame (we) can't get more views.
True, channels like ours grow slowly. I liked your Cliffs of Moher video. Thanks for watching John.
Would you recommend this hike or golden canyon to red cathedral hike...I have time for one 3-4 mile hike along with the other short hikes I wanted to do the day I am there. Thanks
I did the Golden Canyon hike to Red Cathedral as a loop trail returning through Gower Gulch. That loop is over 6 miles so probably more than you have time for. The hike to Red Cathedral is easier than the hike through Mosaic Canyon which requires scaling the slick dry falls. Golden Canyon is more wide open and Mosaic Canyon is more of a slot canyon in spots. If you get to the Red Cathedral walk past the wall and scale the hill on the left for a beautiful view of the canyon you just hiked up. They are both great hikes but I enjoyed the technical aspects of Mosaic Canyon. Have a great trip! Thanks for watching.
Great video! Well done!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
I was at Rookers Island. I saw a great white egret sized bird flying over. This bird as it flew over had yellow and orange colors from behind it's head about 3" down towards the body. Is this a GWE?
Being able to get to places like Rookers Island makes me want a boat, or at least a friend with a boat! Breeding plumage can sometimes add variation but the only big white bird I’ve seen with yellow/orange behind its head is a cattle egret. That would be my guess. Thanks for watching.
beautiful photos! and great explanation. I would love to visit this place :D
Yes, put Banff on your bucket list! Thanks for your comment.
This is incredible footage! I've been to the dunes 3 times and everytime it was so windy the sand pelted any exposed skin.
Yeah, each afternoon the winds get wicked. Another reason to do a sunrise hike. Thanks for the comment.
Loved the story about Darlene and the bear. Loved the old family picture. I have visited Banff years ago. Now I want to go back. It appears I missed some points of interest. Thanks Tom for capturing this so well.
Now you have another excuse to go back to Banff! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great pictures! Darlene really did get some great pictures of the bears! Mistaya Canyon is amazing!
Glad you liked the video. Now I guess I should share pictures of Darlene handling snakes. No, I'm not kidding. :)
@@ParksandPlacesOnline glad you're kidding. Not a fan of snakes.
What else did you do at Death Valley?
I think it was a total of 9 days we spent in Death Valley so we did quite a bit. I have two other videos on Death Valley NP that covers all we did. Thanks for watching.
@@ParksandPlacesOnline yea honestly the only time we’re able to go is in the summer around august and we’ve read a lot about it and we think we’re prepared We’re going to be more on the stove well pipes side so hopefully the higher elevations will hep
What month was that picture taken of Cameron Lake with the boats in ice?
That trip to Waterton was in mid June. The snow in the mountains was beautiful that time of year but some roads like the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier was still closed.
Whaa! Good up to the promotional ad for some belief system. Can't give any thumb.
Hey, you made close to the end! Thanks for watching.
beautiful footage of Maine! Glad you enjoyed Acadia! :)
The whole state was incredible. Better than we expected. Thanks for watching.
How is it driving to the trail head. Will probably have a Nissan Maxima rental- really don't want to damage it.
The drive to the Mosaic Canyon trail head was a gravel road in very good condition. No problem for a Nissan Maxima or similar. But road conditions can change so drive cautiously and look ahead for hazards. Thanks for watching.
@@ParksandPlacesOnline Thanks.
Loved your video of the waterfalls at Baxter state park. Stunning!
Yeah, the Little Niagara was particularly beautiful with the fall colors. Glad you liked it. Thanks for your comment.
Easy to learn these birds with the clear descriptions and good photos. And the music is delightful!
We enjoy taking pictures of birds but usually don't know what they are until we look at the pic on a big screen and try to match against the internet. It's a challenge! Thanks for the comment.
I've in Main once (January!!) but definitely wanna go back and explore. 🤠 Thank you for a great video. Main looks beautiful. 👍
Glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment.
Its pronounced "Gore-um" 👍
Good to know. Thanks for the correction.
Makes me want to go there. Loved the reminder of being content. Thank you.
Another place to add to your bucket list! Thanks for watching.
Wow interesting my friend
Yes it is! You must try to visit when you can. Thanks for watching.
Having just been to Arches in april, it was "ok"...I base a nat park on if I will return, I'm sure I never will, enjoyed Canyonlands much more and will return.
Canyonlands is awesome. We were to the Island in the Sky area and drove a jeep into the canyon but would love to explore more. You can see most of Arches in a day. Thanks for your comment.
Used to be one of my favorite places on earth. Still a beautiful place but unfortunately it's a complete zoo there much of the year nowadays. Reminds me of how Tahoe has changed in the last 20-30 years.
The reality is many of those beautiful quiet places from years ago are now beautiful busy places. Thanks for your comment.
old ass dogma at the end...
Hey! You watched until the end!!!
@@ParksandPlacesOnline ha ha ha. ....yes I did. Haines is far from dogma.... cant wait to go back. you got some of the beauty.. not the community.
Yeap, Haines is on the list of places we want to return to. We wanted to take a flight seeing tour from Haines to Glacier Bay Natl Pk but weather didn't cooperate. Maybe next time.
Awesome views very beautiful
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
I have a good idea for how to plan a visit. Loved the tide pool video. Interesting info on the tides. Thanks.
Glad it helped you plan your visit. Thanks for watching.
Looks at footage very beautiful
Yes, it is beautiful! Thanks for watching.
Rocket mountain wonderful
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Great advice about various ways to camp & vacation. Love the practicality of your videos. Thank you for always incorporating Scripture. God bless you both. It was nice to meet you.
It was great meeting you Sharron. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
As a coloradan, my least favorite is arches. It just doesn't feel that special outside of delicate arches.
I see your point but I feel like a little boy running under the arches each time I go there. :) So it ranks higher for me. Thanks for your comment.
Mountain presidence beautiful
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
so many adventures!
... and so little time! Thanks for watching.
thanks for sharing this! We have been to Badlands but haven't really explored the Black Hills other than Mt. Rushmore. These other attractions look wonderful!
It can be a vacation destination by itself or, like we do, see something new each time passing through. Thanks for watching.
Are there any picnic areas in the park?
Not by the Shark Valley entrance. After you turn in off the highway there is a parking lot at the visitor center and that's it. There may have been a couple picnic tables around the parking lot but not a proper picnic area. The main part of the park has several nice picnic areas. Have fun on your trip!
One of the prettiest places on earth
Yes it is. I hope to get back there soon. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing your faith as well.
Thanks Rodney, glad you liked it.
Never been there (yet?)....Nice!! Since I cannot be there, watching you video is the next best thing!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thanks! Greetings from California.
My next video will be on the other sights to see in the Black Hills around Mt. Rushmore. Thanks for watching.
Nice work guys! Hope there's no cat lurking in the bushes...👏👏👏👏
Back in the days that we were feeding a stray cat along with the birds, we had the cat and a rabbit sitting practically nose to nose with birds all around. I guess with an abundance of food predators become tame. Glad you liked the video.
Thank you for the scripture. Amen. God bless you.
Thanks John. Check out my other videos. I try to put an encouraging or challenging scripture in each.
glad you got over to Mt. Rushmore! it is really incredible to see in person.
Yes it is. Next video is on the other sights in the Black Hills around Mt. Rushmore so don't miss it! Thanks for watching.
