Location Scouting Continues and we've lost a camera

I'm up in Northern Michigan for work and when not on the job, I've been scouting possible locations and doing some research. I originally had a more flat a even barren landscape in mind for a good chunk of the second and third act of the movie but now I'm thinking the wooded backroads may offer better diffused lighting AND easier shooting (ie less traffic!). In the course of doing WORK my camera was damaged and I fear beyond repair. This is not good. It will take some time to replace my one and only video camera. The preproduction work will contine. Early video and trailers are... well a way more off...
