You forget how quiet the world can be until you take a 4x4 far enough to find it.

Just a truck, a campsite, and a sky full of stars.

Dropping temperatures and strong winds ended up cutting the trip short. I came up for some R&R — hoping to do some fishing and find a little peace from all the chaos down the mountain — but honestly, I didn’t really find much of either.

Still, the trip started off strong. We found some incredible views, and at the end of the day, I was just thankful to be out there doing what I love, even if things didn’t go as planned.

After a first night of terrible sleep, I knew it was probably time to call it once the weather started turning. Camper issues, crashed drones, blocked trails, and downed trees set against some unreal mountain views. Sharing a campfire with a new friend, then heading home early to my wife and excited kids happy that dad made it home sooner than expected.

Yeah… it was still completely worth it.

Really thankful I had the chance to get out there at all this weekend. Thanks for sharing a trail and a night of camping with me. Let’s do it again soon.

It’s been over a year with the camper. Next video is going to cover how I have it set up and what my experience has been like. The camper has been a massive investment for us but it has really changed how we are able to experience these adventures.

Making YouTube videos has been one of the wildest rides of my life.

On the good side, it’s brought some incredible people into my world. I’ve connected with companies I never would have crossed paths with otherwise. I’ve made memories with my kids that we’ll get to look back on for years. Family, friends, trips, laughs — all documented in a way that feels bigger than just a video. It’s even allowed me to build this truck into something that flat out wouldn’t have been possible without the channel. That part still blows my mind.

But there’s another side to it.

It’s a massive time commitment. People don’t always see how much work goes into a single video — the planning, the filming (all while camping with young kids), and especially the editing. The editing is the big one for me. That usually means super late nights after everyone’s asleep. From a straight business perspective, it’s honestly a terrible investment of my time. And if I’m being real, I don’t have the thick skin I probably need for this. The internet can be cruel. Even people in this community can be cruel. That part has been harder than I expected.

Lately, life outside of YouTube has been heavy. Work has been tough. Family life has been full. I’ve dealt with some minor health stuff. I finally tried to get back out there and kick off the year with a strong video after taking time to handle personal things. I poured a ton into it. And then I had to take it down because I messed up and violated a rule at the location where we were filming. Total gut punch.

I meant to post a video explaining everything, but I’ve been super sick for over a week, and we’re moving in 12 days. It’s been a lot.

I share all this because I get asked about the channel all the time. I know it looks happy and awesome on camera — that’s usually when I hit record. But the truth is, I think about quitting all the time. I’m thinking about quitting right now.

To be fair, I don’t think I’m going to quit. I think I’ve been trying too hard, and I just need to figure out how to make it fun again. The last thing I need right now is another job.
