If you want to upgrade your "video camera", I'd suggest the Canon HFR600 which is what I use. It is a discontinued model, but new ones can be found for well under $300. I was using a Flip before that, the HFR600 was a major upgrade for me.

If doing voice over work, get a decent microphone. I use the Blue Snowball. I won't say it is the greatest, but for the price, it was worth the investment. I'm never in front of the camera, so I don't have any suggestions for a wireless mic or anything like that.

For video editing, I've been happy with Sony Vegas 11 "Platinum" version. They are now up to version 13. There are a lot of YouTube videos showing how to use it to do [XYZ], so I've been able to learn a lot that way.

I've played for several years, and am in town for a couple of weeks. I mostly play fingerstyle nowadays (not Scruggs style, but a derivative). If you want to play bluegrass stuff, learn your rolls, and it all comes from that (as you may already know). If you want to learn clawhammer, this is a good book (http://www.amazon.com/Clawhammer-Style-Banjo-Ken-Perlman/dp/0931759331/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374621780&sr=8-3&keywords=clawhammer+banjo).
what kind of banjo do you have?

I'll be pretty busy for the rest of the time I'm here but I'd be interested in jamming a bit if you're up for it. Alll you have to know is a few chords (G, C, D) and we can play Cripple Creek and do some noodley jamming as well.
Shared on the original thread, but thought people in K-town might like the same info:
If you're coming in March, the weather can be very volatile. East TN itself will be 70 one day and in the 30s and snowing the next. (We were this week.) Your main concern will be spring storms on that front.
So, here are some relevant links. Let us know where you are looking to go & when. I'm sure we can help you out.
National Park Service site on the campsites
Another look at the campgrounds and back country sites
Clickable Trail Map (printed in 1997, anyone who's been to the park has seen this map.) It still doesn't beat the little brown book.
Trail listing (site is not working correctly)
Download maps from the NPS. Includes Trail, park, and campground maps.
And the NPS GSMNP Hiking page. Has some important information, including how to find out road and facilities closings.
Never tried this, but sounds interesting!
Amazon an option? Kind of hefty at 3 for $14..

With it being made in the Philippines, wonder if Sunrise Market near Walker Springs would have it. Will have to check next time I'm out there.
Ijams and the Greenways that folks have already mentioned are great. There are also the Knox County Greenways. Five Star Trails: Knoxville is a really good book for people who want maps to walk around with. I found it very useful in just finding out about trails I didn't know about already.
There’s a great book that has a lot of good routes in the Knoxville area. I highly recommend it. Bicycling Routes by Elle Colquitt
Cades Cove is too busy for me and House Mountain is too. I would recommend GSMNP for sure - if you live here you should get this book - this lady hikes the trails all the time and has broke all the trails into day hikes. If you start at the beginning of the book and just go through it you'll have hiked every inch of the trails. It is awesome. Every trail holds something different and unique so I can't recommend just one - I love them all.
If you aren't wanting to hike I would say go to Dollywood if you haven't been - it's awesome.

Cool, the streaming and gaming is a staple. As for noise, looks like I may have to invest in these. lol
Not to sound too nerdy about it, but this is interesting when put into the historical context of early American frontier migration patterns. Many Tennessean families started as Virginians then moved west (often to Texas). However, there were several competing cultures migrating at the time. Of relevance here, the southern planter elite rubbed up on and competed with the borderlander/Appalachians. You can almost draw a line straight west from Charleston South Carolina to the Mississippi river and have an approximate border between these groups. Without going into more detail, I think we can safely rely on caricatures of the rich southern gentleman in formal attire versus the back-country plain-speaking fella in deer skins. They weren't fond of each other.
Anyway, the map's mention of Virginia as "Family" and Texas as "My First Job" are exactly what you'd expect given Eastern Tennessee's place in the history. Then Kentucky is implied to be similar to Tennessee (just not as good), which is also entirely consistent. I suspect some of the modern antagonism between TN and AL is not 100% because of football. Perhaps old cultural tensions and the fact that AL was a battleground in this regard are deeper factors. Similar cultural contrasts can be seen between, say, Houston and Dallas--or so I've heard.
Someone else here even commented "I BELIEVE HILTON HEAD IS TOO RICH FOR OUR APPALACHIAN BLOOD". Ha!
Apologies for rambling. If anyone wants to learn more, here ya go:
I got mine off Amazon for 60$. Works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004RA3F/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503067160&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lawn+mower+push&psc=1
You can buy inflatable kayaks for relatively cheap. Here's one on Amazon for $87.80 and ships for free if you have a Prime account. I think I saw some Kayaks in Target or Wal-mart but I'm not sure how much they were. They may have cheaper inflatable ones also.
Check all sporting good stores. There's a new one near Cedar Bluff called Acadamy Sports + Outdoors.

If you need home security, these cameras work great. $189 gets you: 4 Cameras, no power splicing needed, 30 day recording, plus mobile ap for anytime surveillance.
I have them for my office, and feel everyone should. So cheap, high quality. Install will likely run you $300 or so, which basically means running a cord through a wall or what not, and setting up the router for the anywhere access. No real down side, but I'd put license plate clarity at maybe 60 feet.
Everyone needs some diatomaceous earth in their lives. Here's a huge 10 lbs bag $22. Spread it all over everywhere bugs can enter your home and all around the foundation. It's bug kryptonite and completely safe for all vertebrates.
I don't have any transparent filament, but if you want to pay $20, I can buy this (it's 19.65 after tax) and print it. Otherwise, I'll print it for free. I have blue, orange, and white already.
This is the best one I've ever used: https://www.amazon.com/JACO-SmartPro-Digital-Tire-Inflator/dp/B015VXWZ9O
Most hard cheeses - like Gouda or Gruyere - would do for fondue:
