In this video I finish up Capitol Reef National Park’s Cathedral Valley Loop, something that has been on my Utah bucket list for years. I check out the Morrell Cabin, the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon, Glass Mountain, and more! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I start the 60-ish mile Cathedral Valley Loop through southern Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park. I drive across a river, come across an old abandoned truck, and drive through some truly epic desert landscapes before finding a buggy campsite on national forest land.

In this video I explore Buckhorn Draw, a canyon in Utah’s San Rafael Swell area. I check out a ton of petroglyphs, some pictographs, a natural arch, a Native American ruin, a dinosaur footprint, and more! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Sorry for the delay in getting a video out, but good internet access has been difficult to come by on this trip! In this video I head to central Utah’s Little Grand Canyon and promptly break my main video camera. Great. I also cook up a couple of easy meals. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

I leave tomorrow on a monthlong road trip and couldn’t be more excited! In this video I talk a bit about the trip, and I also ask for your input on places I should see and things I should do along the way, particularly in northern California (east of I-5), southeastern Oregon, and southern Idaho. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video—the second of a two-part series, the first one being here)—I take my little inflatable raft up to a high mountain lake and then hike up a mountain, giving me some incredible views of the Great Salt Lake and more. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I head up into the mountains of northern Utah and find the most beautiful campsite I’ve ever stayed at. I talk about some changes I’ve made to my camping setup and show off some new gear, including what may be the world’s most compact camp toilet! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

This video is part 1 of the adventure. Part 2 will be up on Thursday or Friday.

One of the problems I’ve had with my little solar camp shower bag is that I’m not always near a tree to hang it up. Plopping it on top of my SUV doesn’t work well because it’s not tall enough. This video covers two solutions that I’ve come up with. (Click here if you can’t see the video.)

Here’s the shower I have (affiliate link), and here’s the link to the “poor man’s drone” video mentioned.

In this video I head off into the mountains of northern Utah to enjoy some peace and quiet and to test out some new gear. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Here’s some of the stuff I go through in the video:

• My new kayak (was $179 when I bought it)
• The kayak roof rack holders (Amazon affiliate link)
• Coleman Xtreme 52 qt. Cooler. The lowest price I could find online was at Home Depot.
• Akaso EK7000 fake GoPro (Amazon affiliate link)

In this video I take the little solar camp shower I have and figure out a way to strap it to the top of my car so that it can heat up while I drive. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
