Mama's Farmhouse breakfast takes you back to simpler times

Growing up in the South, a tradition breakfast consists of grits, eggs, bacon, and some type of bread. Most Southerners would have biscuits as their choice of bread if you asked them. We love our breakfast and consider it to be the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast, especially Sunday breakfast, is almost like a holiday for Southern. If asked, most Southerners would tell you that they love their mama or grand mama's cooking. So it is no surprise to find a restaurant in the hills of the Smoky Mountains honoring their Mother. This is the review of Mama's Farmhouse.

What I use to Film Videos and Edit
1. Cannon HD Camera: I use a camcorder similar to this one about 40% of the time. The one we bought several years ago is a discontinued model and we bought it originally for family videos.
2. Tripod for Camcorder: As of now I just use a cheap tripod like this one for recording. I do not use a lot of panning shots off of the tripod. I will eventually upgrade to a better one with a fluid head for panning shots.
3. Wireless Lapel mic: I use this exact same mic for recording. I use it with the Canon Camcorder and also with my Moto Force Phone.
4. Camera bag: I currently have two Lowepro Bags, one for my Canon Camcorder and one for my Nikon Camera. They are really good bags and protecting your equipment is essential.
5. Camera Bag: If I bought a new one today, though, I would get this one. It is Amazons Basic brand. I love the backpack style bags.
6. Moto Force Android phone: I record about 60% of my videos with this phone. It has an awesome camera and works well in low lighting. The sound is also really good without using the lapel mic if I need to.
7. Nikon D3300 Camera: 1ff I use this for a lot of my still shots, especially shots of food that I have cooked. I have the version right before this camera. If I were to buy another one today I would get the Canon D80 DSLR . I would use this as my video camera and still shots. I know it is expensive and that is the reason I do not have one yet.
8. SD Cards: I have tons of cards. Most are high speed like this one. This is essential when taking multiple shots with your DSLR camera that the recording or writing speed is fast. It allows you to take faster shots. Some cameras will not work with slower speed cameras. Really you should only need 1 main card and a backup card unless you like to leave your content on your cards. I rip it to my backup storage on my main computer.
9. Backup storage: Again I have an older version of this same one. Mine is 2 TB which is still a ton of storage. You can back your whole computer up to a plus all your pictures and videos on this bad boy. If you delete them, you will never have them again. This is good in case you want to remake a video with older footage.
10. Tripod for Moto Force/Smart Phone: This is not the exact same one I have but if I were to buy a new one this is the one I would get. This is a vital part to have for filming. I use this for my in car shots, for filming while I am eating, and I set it up on the ground for some cool shots.

Roaring Fork Motor Trail Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Just outside of Gatlinburg Tennessee is one of the National Parks hidden gems that not everyone knows about. This is a tour of this wonderful motor trail that I think rivals its sister Cades Cove.

Patriot Park, Pigeon Forge, TN

Flying the Storm Racing Drone around Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge, TN. Had some interested folks hang out while I was flying. It was great to talk to some who were genuinely interested. I tried to keep it within eye sight so they could see how it flies. I'm not very good yet, but I think I left them with a positive impression of the hobby.
