My Thoughts on Meta.

I released the latest episode to my YouTube channel this evening. While the main purpose of the episode is to highlight my hike to Hope Camp in Saguaro National Park here in Tucson, I also talk about my feelings around the content moderation changes/elimination at Meta, which will affect Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

I left Threads about a month ago when the place went crazy with bots and MAGA folks. While I’m not abandoning Facebook and Instagram, they have been removed from my phone and I have decided to no longer promote my YouTube channel releases on Meta owned platforms. If you’re curious as to my reasoning, see the first 90 seconds or so of my latest episode.

I’ll probably write more about it this week. I’m in a mood.

Video Trailer.

I have produced a new trailer for my Youtube Channel. This one is a little shorter than the previous version and I feel it gives a great overview of what you’ll find on my channel.

Video: Adventures in 2024.

In the spirit of all things New Year, I put together a recap video of some of my hiking and storm chasing adventures in 2024. I enjoyed going through some of my older video to see how much my style has changed since I started the YouTube channel earlier this year.

This video includes some footage from the Eldorado, Oklahoma tornado back in May.

Video: Hiking Mount Lemmon – Lemmon Rock Lookout Trail

I had a great hike down the Lemmon Rock Lookout Trail to the Wilderness of Rocks trail yesterday. My starting point was the highest parking area on Mount Lemmon. I tried a few different video recording techniques with my iPhone 16 Pro in this video, and I talked about some new accessories I have built for my adventures.

Douglas Springs Campground.

Last weekend I hiked up to Douglas Springs Campground in Saguaro National Park East. It was a great hike with some fantastic views. It was a long hike, clocking in at just under 14 miles.

The whole experience was definitely worth the effort.

Hiking Mount Lemmon: Behind The Scenes.

My latest video shows a little bit behind the scenes as I capture my hiking adventures on Mount Lemmon. Plus, there’s plenty of beautiful scenery to enjoy. Here’s a link to all the fun, with plenty of information available in the video description.

Video: Tips for Hiking Mount Lemmon – Aspen and Mint Springs Trails

Here’s a video of my latest hiking adventure. I decided to take a slightly different approach with this video and included tips on how making your hike more awesome when you’re hiking Mount Lemmon. I’d love to hear any feedback you have on this or my other videos.

I have to admit I’m rather proud of this particular piece. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
