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

Opposites Attract: Hey Team, Today was a super productive day! (In the sense that taking two steps forward and two steps back is productive. See, it’s funny cause it’s not.) My Florida plans officially, although temporarily, fell through so I spent the better part of the day frantically trying to find somewhere to be where I can make […]    read more
Don’t Forget to Smile: Hey Team, It seems the cranberry bog podcast has led to me getting the same question from different angles over and over again, so here I am to lay to waste your curiosity. The question goes a little something like this: “What happened with the cops?” I don’t want to make you work for it so here’s the […]    read more
Just One of Those Days: Hey Team, The last 24 hours have been pretty uneventful as far as list progress goes, since everything that’s been going on has been behind the scenes, but that’s no reason to keep you folks in the dark. Today was mostly spent cataloging hours of raw footage that will probably never be used but can’t be thrown […]    read more
Cranberries and Pennsylvanians [podcast]: Hey Team, […]    read more
Fiamingo Family Thanksgiving: Hey Team, I’ve had a pretty awesome few days in Nowhere, PA, unfortunately my internet connection has been pretty spotty. So before things cut out again… Here’s a quick video update. Loading… And I’ll fill you in on the details tomorrow. Thanks, everyone! I’m done. Brett. Welcome to the wonderful world of kindness to strangers. Why NOT be a kind stranger?    read more
Aggietrekker: Hey Team, I had a fun-filled, turkey-fueled day with the Fiamingo family in Mansfield, PA. Not only did they take me in on what is traditionally more of a family holiday (which frankly, I’ve always thought was strange since basically it was all about taking in people in need when those pilgrims first flunked winter) but […]    read more
Thanks for Giving: Hey Team, I was going to post another video today, (I have two ready, one of my ride to Mansfield, Pennsylvania where I’ll be spending Thanksgiving this year and one of the “Jump the Gun Turkey Run” which was basically this last weekend’s pre-Thanksgiving in Boston.) but somehow neither seemed appropriate enough for this holiday. This is […]    read more
#27 Go on a lobster boat [podcast]: Hey Team, Thanks so much for the feedback on yesterday’s video. Your comments were overwhelmingly positive and I’m going to do my best to get more of them out there. IN FACT, why don’t you kids feed your eyeballs on this little guy! Loading… I’m done. Brett. Kind strangers keep ‘trekkers trekking. I think Mark Twain said that…maybe. Or was […]    read more
Enough Wading Already: Hey Team, There’s been a whole lot of wading going on in the last couple days. Most importantly I went wading through a cranberry bog yesterday! Granted, it almost killed me and I’m more than a little surprised I didn’t lose any toes to frostbite but it’s done. And I have to admit it seemed like […]    read more
Give The Little Guy A Chance: Hey Team, Here’s what I like about the little guy. (Provided he has the guts to step up.) He tries harder. What does that mean? Never travel by Greyhound. As I was trying to find an acceptable way to escape Portland, Maine today I ran across the Greyhound website. Luckily, I learned my lesson after the whole “pedophile […]    read more
