PECOS HANK T SHIRTS & MUGS

In this video I’m going to show you why this vehicle was the most practical vehicle. My entire system, the model, vehicle and the rigs are based on practicality from an economic perspective as well as efficiency, safety and freedom. If we’re not throwing away money, then we can afford to travel more and see more storms. I’m also going to show you my cameras and computer rigs and the logic behind it all.

CAMERAS
New BlackVue Cameras were installed at The Dash Cam Store

SONY CAMERAS
The Sony A7s2 is my primary video camera with it’s amazing low light sensitivity. The A7r2 is my back up for video and primary camera for stills with its 42.4 MP files. They both shoot internal 4K video, and take great stills, but they’re difficult to focus on clouds.

BLACK MAGIC DESIGN CAMERA has a 4K global shutter but terrible low light sensitivity.

My iPhone8 usually has radar on it spit with reflectivity and base velocity and It can double as a vlogging camera in action if needed.

GOPRO HER0 7
From time to time I use GoPros. I've never been a fan of GoPro quality, however the GoPro Hero 7 has really upped the game. I'm looking forward to experimenting with some time lapse with this GoPro's incredible stabilization.

2015 TOYOTA RAV4 Compact Crossover SUV
Why the 2015 Toyota Rav4 is the most practical SUV. I always buy used cars that are 2-3 years old with low miles. This is the best value for the dollar. There is risk buying a used car, however if you buy one from a dealership you can usually attain the Carfax, records and possibly purchase an extended warranty to ease the worry. Mine had no collisions and every oil change was recorded.

TOYOTA RELIABILITY
My last 2 Toyotas had well over 200K miles on them and despite beating them up daily, they were problem free. The only time they ever went to my mechanic Scotty Kilmer was for maintenance, namely tune ups, brakes, starters and alternators and perhaps a strut or motor mount. In my trade, I depend on reliability and until other car companies can match Toyota's reliability (or until Toyota starts sucking) I'm sticking with them.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE VS 2 WHEEL DRIVE
Despite driving often on poor roads, I went with 2 wheel drive because it's more gas efficient and less likely to break down. 2 wheel drive is also much cheaper to maintain. In all these years I've only been stuck twice in 2 wheel drive vehicles and on one of those occasions the 4 wheel drive tow truck that came to get me got stuck a mile before reaching me. It took a tractor to get us both out. Avoiding poor roads in a 4 wheel drive and a 2 wheel drive is a good idea all together.

Hank and Scotty is the most ambitious cross-over event in recent memory. I love it!

[sallysparrow]

I was at Space Center Houston a week ago and they had a monitor running clips of extreme weather. There was a clip of hail falling and I recognized it as one of yours! Sure enough, it was attributed to Hank Schyma in the corner! You're famous :D

[Turtle-jucn]

YES! Finally, looking forward to more storm chasing

[acemarker]

Wait Scotty isn’t yelling at you?

Damn- weird world.

[thoughtcriminal]

[daviscc]

[intraterrestrial]

Holy shit its Scotty! Wouldnta guessed you guys knew each other, maybe I should have! Awesome

[ElyTechGuy]

I think this is the only video where I saw Scotty in his natural habitat: Eating food, hanging around friends and just having fun. He is usually straight to the point, no-nonsense guy but I love him!

It’s 3:40 AM, I’m in a hospital bed watching tornado videos from my favorite tornado guy. I’ll probably never get to see one live but your videos allow me to slightly experience what has to be the granddaddy of all rushes. Thank you so much for making these vids. I look forward to them. You are a man most blessed to be able to experience this live on multiple occasions. Be safe young man.

Storm Chasing is one of the most expensive hobbies. Up there with Strongman.

Hank AND Scotty. Scotty, please take Hank out to eat. I never see him eat anything but tuna, bananas, and cereal. We need him ready for the 2019 season.

[thugzbunny]

[ryanr]

Lol I love how Scotty is such an animated type of person. It was a real treat when I come to find my two favorite youtubers are actually friends!

[azariah]

When a Pecos Hank video drops, I always have the time to stop and watch it.

[joncavallo]

Well Hank, I subscribed to Scotty's channel after watching this video! Everybody needs good and truthful advice on vehicles these days! I assume you're gearing up for the storm chasing season now. Looking forward to what you can capture on video, stills, and equipment use. Love the outlook and passion you have for Chasing! Be Wary, be Safe, and enlighten us all! Your follower, Jon.
