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

New Intro!: Hey Team, It’s been a wacky few months filled with all kinds of non-sense, from big award nominations that I ultimately lost (Darn you, William Shatner. Darn you to heck.) to television treatments that are still in limbo to book proposals that remain (for the moment) unfinished, one constant has remained…the website was sorely neglected. Not too [...]    read more
Ghost Hunting at Wolfe Manor! [video]: Hey Team, Here’s the long awaited video shenanigans from that fateful night in one of America’s most haunted houses.

Subscribe to Amtrekker on [...]    read more
#2 Ride a Horse Through a Covered Bridge [podcast]: Hey Team, Lots of stuff going on. Plenty of adventures around the corner. A new literary agent. A book proposal to write.

Today it’s the horse through through the covered bridge, the video of the party will be out in a few days and then it will be back [...]    read more
#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.” And here’s the YouTube [...]    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)!

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).

#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.

Handy. “Team Amtrekker travels to the Grand Canyon National Park on [...]    read more
#29 Drive a race car! [podcast]: Hey Team, Sorry the updates have been so few and far between this week.

BUT, without any further ado… “Amtrekker travels to the small town of Huron, [...]    read more
