  • I am on day 17 of my adventure up to the Arctic Circle and we reached a point in the adventure that was either going to make us turn around or possibly be able to continue all the way to the Arctic Ocean. I have been filming the entire journey and will share those videos with you all in a few weeks, but just wanted to do a quick update on how things are progressing.

    Please always make the videos that you want to make, Brad, including the sitreps. People who complain have no idea what it takes to produce content. This is your channel, my man. Thank you for taking us on the ride with you.

      @@FJ-lt8oh He wouldn’t be putting anything out until he got back home, if it weren’t for these sit reps. Very hard to be editing meaningful videos while still out on the adventure. So, you either get a taste of things to come, or you get nothing. And you can choose whether not you want to watch these.

      Making content is easy. Making _good_ content people want to watch is very, very hard. I make videoa for fun on occasion, and getting out, setting up the camera, doing an obstacle, going back and getting the camera, then editing the content... that's hard.

    Please ignore the people asking for the adventure videos and put out the videos you are planning. Ignore the negative people, they are not worth it. You're doing excellent work and your core audience loves it, I can assure you. It's also very difficult to edit and be on an adventure.

    When you come through Montana swing by Superior and say Hi. Theres some places here you really need to check out. Forget Glacier it's overrated and packed full of people, but go along Koocanusa in Rexford, and cruise down the Bull River, some spectacular hidden gems. Dont forget to camp a night at the Thompson Chain of Lakes to listen to the Loons in the evening And the state line road in the Lolo NF is pretty amazing - nearby here there are 2 trails you really should see while in the area. South central of Deerlodge and Beaverhead forests have some pretty awesome places too.

    Brad,
    When Regina flys in take her on a side trip to Hyder, AK. It’s a little out of the way but it’s really worth the effort. There’s a 100 yard boardwalk from which you watch the bears fishing as they come down the river. It puts you close to the river and the bears where you can get fantastic pictures and videos. This side trip was the best part of MY trip to Alaska.
