In this episode, I take you along for the ride–my first mountain trip with my truck camper. As my first camping trip, I decided to visit Big Bend National Park and stay at the Chisos Basin campground. Only catch? Based on what I read, the drive would entail sharp curves, steep grades and wasn’t recommended […]

In this episode, I show my process and tools for emptying the black and gray tanks on my Host Yukon truck camper after 48 consecutive days on the road (not a mere 4 days, as I say in the video). I also discuss the best practices that have helped make the gross chore much more

In this episode, I visit the Amarillo Railroad Museum in Amarillo, Texas, and get a tour of the White Train, used to transport nuclear weapons between Pantex Plant and many other facilities of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex between the 1950s and 1980s. I spoke to Katie Braughton, the Pantex Plant historian, who shares some

In this episode, I visit Amarillo Texas, also known as Bomb City to the locals. This is a reference to last remaining nuclear assembly (and disassembly) plan in the United States. The Pantex Plant manufactures nuclear weapons, maintenances them and breaks down retired weapons, making he Pantex Plant one of the most critical facilities in

In this episode, I discuss a long list of things that broke on my truck camper during my first month on the road. Some I could live with, but then a few were mission-critical. Given the supply chain issues and backups in RV repairs and warranty approvals, I would have waited until April or May

In this episode, I discuss some problems I’ve been having with emptying my black tank on the Host Yukon camper. Every time I’ve tried to empty it, it wouldn’t empty at all or only empty part way. After some experiments and help from my dad, I know how to do it moving forward.

In this episode, I share a super fun tour down the Palo Duro Canyon led by Case, a Texan rancher and amazing tour guide. For me, there’s nothing much better than the taste of the great outdoors plus the thrill of an adventure. I’d read somewhere about a drive along the edge of cliffs with

In this episode, I visit a long-forgotten former top-secret nuclear weapons storage facility (Medina Base) in San Antonio, Texas, located at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. In November 1963, more than 209 high explosive shells for nuclear weapons detonated, sending the steel doors of the igloo flying high into the air and landing several thousand feet

In this episode, I visit the small town of Eldorado, Texas. If you drive north on Highway 277, about ten miles from town, you may spot something odd-looking on the horizon. From a distance, it looks like it could be a pyramid from an ancient civilization, but it is actually a ten-story early warning radar

In this episode, I provide an update on my truck camper repairs. I finally picked up my truck camper from the RV dealer in mid-November. We were still waiting (more than two months) on warranty approvals from Host, the manufacturer. The dealer made the repairs anyway so that I could proceed with filming the pilot
