3 Days Exploring the Desert You Never Hear About [VIDEO]

Arizona? Utah? Nevada? Nope. In this video, I spend three days exploring the desert in my adopted home state, Idaho. The state is known for its mountains and forests, but the southern part is a shockingly impressive high desert. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Building the Ultimate Campervan for Just $7,000! [VIDEO]

This is one of the best van builds I’ve seen. Every detail has been thought through, and it was custom built to be exactly what the owners wanted. It’s a 1995 Chevy G20 van that started life off as a wheelchair van. David and Donna bought it and turned it into what seems to me would be the perfect camper van for a lot of people out there. Huge thanks to David and Donna for sharing their van with us! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Visiting Utah’s Honorary—and Unofficial—National Park [VIDEO]

In this video I visit what I consider to be Utah’s honorary 6th national park. It’s every bit as spectacular as Arches, Canyonlands, or Bryce, yet it’s not one of the “Big Five.” (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

How to Sleep & Camp in a Jeep Wrangler [VIDEO]

In this video we go over my new friend John’s 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (4-door) and his setup for sleeping/camping in it. He talks about making the bed platform, how he stores gear, mods he’s done to the Jeep, and more. This is a great setup that anyone can get ideas from, even if you don’t have a Jeep!
