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.)

This is my favorite video I’ve ever made. In this video I meet up with a friend and spend two days kayak camping on the San Juan River in southeastern Utah. We explore Native American ruins, find petroglyphs and potsherds, find a crappy campsite, and just have a great time overall. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
After a completely unexpected start to the day, I take care of some business in town and then head out to Cedar Mesa to hunt for Native American archaeological sites. I end up at one of my favorite places to camp. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
