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

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
#3 Sleep in a Lighthouse!: Hey Team, Charley is having some charging issues this week and it’s making life very difficult when it comes to updating the site so I hope you guys don’t mind the delays in new content. (Because I freaking HATE it!) I’m taking him to the hospital (a.k.a. Apple Store) this afternoon but before I do that […]    read more
#25 Be in a Movie!: Enjoyed that? Donations please? Don’t let me stop you.    read more
#29 Drive a race car! [podcast]: Hey Team, Sorry the updates have been so few and far between this week. With all the bus rides and the 14 hour days on set for “The Surrogates” (more on that tomorrow) it’s been impossible to find the time to get things posted. BUT, without any further ado… “Amtrekker travels to the small town of Huron, […]    read more
Assault on Miners: Hey Team, Not everything on the list is adrenaline fueled (obviously). But a great case in point is #11 “Go into a coal mine.” I may have mentioned this before but a good portion of the list exists because I occasionally get that feeling that I was born in either the wrong time or the wrong […]    read more
The Grandest of Holes in the Ground: Hey Team, I’m back! Long story short: The Grand Canyon hike was incredible. Period. Long story long (You guys didn’t actually think you’d get away with a short story did you?): First of all, the permits for the Grand Canyon campgrounds only allow for up to eleven people in a group so I’m sorry to anyone that really […]    read more
#17 Kiteboarding! [podcast]: Hey Team, After a long wait I finally managed to stay in one place long enough to compress the kiteboarding video! Here it is! “Amtrekker travels back to Charleston, SC to get dragged face first through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in an effort to “try his hand at kiteboarding.” Calamity ensues.” Loading… Here’s the YouTube link! Thanks! I’m done. Brett. If you […]    read more
