Amtrekker
Hey Team,
I’m an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com

#14 Make Moonshine Pt. 1: Hey Team, I decided to release the Moonshining with Dr. Tiki video in two parts (it will be a few weeks before part 2 rears it’s ugly head thanks to the fermentation process). So, here it is! “Amtrekker travels to international waters to meet with the famed Dr. Tiki for some moonshining hijinks! Uncertainty ensues.” Loading… And here’s the YouTube […]    read more
#13 Race Dirtbikes!: Hey Team, Not that I’m not known for making bad decisions (who doesn’t love double negatives) but I’ve had better ideas than allowing the first time I’ve ever so much as sat down on a dirt bike to be the practice lap for a dirt bike race. Seriously. What was I thinking? I can only tell you […]    read more
Crop Circling: Hey Team, Here’s the rest of the crop circle adventure. On day two Amber and I spent a little over an hour outlining the crop circle design using stakes and 1000 ft of cheap twine I picked up at the local dollar store. After the entire thing was laid out and the string pulled tight it was […]    read more
Pinko Commie Crops: Hey Team, Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark during the whole crop circle adventure. I’ve been living life without the internet all week and let me just be the first to say, “A life without the internet is no life at all.” Now I’m in the backseat of a Subaru with two spaniels named Bo […]    read more
#42 Ride an Ostrich! [podcast]: Hey Team, If you like watching me do stupid things (and I know you do) then you’re going to like this one… “Amtrekker travels to Virginia City, NV to take part in the 49th Annual International Camel Races (Specifically the ostrich racing portion of the weekend)! Watch as a terrified Brett mans up and falls down.” Loading… AND, as usual…here’s […]    read more
I Crashed an Ostrich: Hey Team, Let me tell you a few things I recently learned about ostriches…but first I should put things in a little bit of context. July 4th of 2007 I left home on this little Amtrekker adventure of mine thinking, “Remember Swiss Family Robinson? Man, that kid on the ostrich looked like he was having a blast!” Fast-forward […]    read more
Disaster Looms: Hey Team, After a long hiatus from crossing stuff off the list thanks to one scheduling failure after another spanning most of the country I finally feel back on track after today. I packed up the goods (mostly corn meal, sugar and a bucket) and met up with Dr. Tiki at an undisclosed location (well into international […]    read more
Is Horse Feed Really a Good Idea Anyway?: Hey Team, I’ve been reading quite a bit about moonshine lately since I’ve recently decided I don’t want to poison myself like so many ill-advised hillbillies before me. As a result I felt pretty confident when I set out this afternoon to hunt down some grain for the “mash” to start the fermentation process. A quick […]    read more
#3 Sleep in a Lighthouse! [podcast]: Hey Team, The much delayed/ballyhooed podcast featuring your’s truly’s adventure in a lighthouse is here! Check it out. “Amtrekker travels to Frankfort, MI to sleep in the 150 year old Point Betsie lighthouse (one of the most photographed lighthouses in America). Watch as he offers up a Cribs style tour of his overnight digs! Hip-Hop ensues.” Loading… And here’s the […]    read more
#50 Hike to the Bottom of the Grand Canyon! [podcast]: Hey Team, Obviously my self imposed deadlines have been a joke since I bought the Greyhound bus pass. BUT, never fear…the videos are still coming. I just get fewer opportunities to team up with Charley and get them done lately. Oh, look! Here’s one right here! Handy. “Team Amtrekker travels to the Grand Canyon National Park on […]    read more
