I’ve Never Seen These Before [VIDEO]

In this video I go do a couple of great hikes in Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park, drive one of the best roads in the country, and find a great campsite surrounded by tons of interesting little, er, artifacts. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

How to Live in an SUV

(NOTE: I posted this video to the YouTube channel last week but forgot to post it on the blog here, so I’m doing that now.)

This video is basically a tour of the sleeping/camping setup I use when I live and travel out of my 2011 Toyota RAV4 for 2 or 3 months out of the year. Let me know if you have more questions. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Into the Goblin’s Lair! [VIDEO]

EDIT: There was something wrong with the video the first time uploaded it, so I had to re-upload it. Sorry!

In this video I head into Goblin Valley State Park in southern Utah and visit one of the most unique places in the desert. I then head over to what ends up being one of my favorite campsites ever. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.]

Adventures Deep, Deep in the Desert [VIDEO]

In this video I head into a little-visited section of Utah’s Canyonlands National Park and view some of the best rock art in the United States. (Click here if you don’t see the video below.)

Also, for the first time, I’ve added subtitles/captions to the video. I’ve actually had one person tell me that she uses my videos to help her learn English, and I figure that subtitles would be helpful not only to her but also to people with hearing difficulties. Just click the little “CC” in the bottom-right corner to turn them on.
