We see with a great deal of satisfaction that as years go by, the internet is being filled with more and more websites dedicated to outdoor activities, extreme sports and those topics that are interesting for our audience as well as ourselves, here at Andinia. During the first years of the web as we know it, there were only a few commercial sites dedicated to the great outdoors in general, but now the variety and number of these websites is really growing, which means that competition is on the rise, and as long as the web doesn't get saturated, it will benefit the public at large.

Plus, as time goes by technology improves and now, our gear and equipment are much better than in the past; life is getting better for outdoors people and we can do things that before, not so long ago, were considered impossible. For example, around 1990 it was really a problem to take something like a camcorder or filming equipment into a serious expedition; cameras and their accessories were expensive and fragile, and the conditions found in the field usually meant that big investments were put at risk; besides, a rather-complete recording or filming kit used all the space inside a small backpack and batteries weighted like bricks.

Today we have excellent, miniature cameras that being smaller and having more solid-state components, are much less fragile, easier to carry and to supplement with all kinds of accessories which are also smaller and lighter; a portable studio can be today carried in the pockets of a jacket.

Having done both things - recorded things while in the wilderness suing both types of cameras - we recommend you to take as many batteries as you can, as well as some sort of solar or wind-powered charger, and if possible, take one camera per member of your trekking party; in this way you will get as many takes as possible with no bulk whatsoever.
