In this video I talk about a handful of things to keep in mind or consider when looking for a dispersed camping campsite out in the boonies (aka boondocking). Let me know what other things you look for in a good boondocking spot. Also, sorry for the weird camera focusing issues. My camera may be broken… (Click here if you don’t see the video below.)

In this video—the second of a two-part series of a two-day trip I went on—I continue to explore some extremely remote and rarely visited areas in the desert west of Salt Lake City, Utah. I promise you haven’t seen this stuff before. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

This is the first of a two-video series of a two-day trip I did last November. The goal was to visit some very obscure places that are surprisingly close to civilization, and it was probably the best 2-day trip I’ve ever done. (Click here if you don’t see the video below.)

This video contains footage from two big dayhikes I went on a week apart in September 2017. Both hikes involved climbing a couple of the 11,000-foot peaks in northern Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. These were very long days in some of the most beautiful mountains in Utah. The scenery is incredible. Enjoy! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

This quick video goes over the cost breakdown of the 13-day SUV RVing trip to southern Utah and western Colorado that I went on last October. (The trip is chronicled in this series of YouTube videos.) Let me know if you have any questions, and click here if you can’t see the video below.

Yes, this week’s video is super short, but next week’s is 45 minutes long to make up for it 🙂

In this video I go through my friend Dennis’s Toyota Sienna minivan camper build. He’s got a great little setup that works well for him both when he’s hauling his kids around town and boondocking out in the middle of nowhere. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I finish up this road trip by climbing a big, beautiful desert mountain that only a couple of people climb per year. I see some more slithery wildlife, ford a river on foot, and find a perfect campsite, all while never seeing another soul. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I update you on my hip surgery, talk about an upcoming monthlong trip, talk briefly about my recently acquired solar setup and rooftop cargo box, and ask for you input on a project I’m thinking of putting together. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

(Also, a few Cargo Hammocks are now back in stock in the online store.)

In this video I drive the spectacular drive along the San Miguel and Dolores Rivers in far western Colorado and then try to figure out what exactly I want to do in Grand Junction. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

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!
