Exploring 1000-Year Old Ruins in Utah and Colorado

In this video I spend a day checking out a bunch of Native American ruins in southeastern Utah and then western Colorado. I also have several wildlife encounters of the reptilian kind and see a bunch of petroglyphs (and a couple of pictographs). (Click here if you can’t see the vide below.)

And check out the new Cargo Hammock that’s now for sale in the store!

Wild Success & Epic Failure (and Tacos)

In this video I head into southern Utah’s Arches National Park to look for some obscure and difficult-to-find natural and man-made features. I experience both success and failure and see some incredible scenery along the way. Oh, and then I make tacos. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
