Hey everybody and welcome to the video.
In today's episode of 'Walk with Me', we talk about my trip to Bend last week, how you can
support the channel, and an idea for a meetup I have coming up.
Let's get into it.
Alright, so how's everybody doing this week?
My week has been going very well.
Been really busy though.
I know I talked about it last week, we ended up going on our trip to Bend Oregon to see
the desert.
I'll edit in a couple of photos here but make sure if you're not following me on instagram
go do so, I'm going to be posting pictures over the coming weeks from that trip and it
was really incredible.
I don't know if anyone plays video games around here but it kind of feels like I was in Red
Dead Redemption or in some movie set for the wild west.
It was an incredible desert hike we went on, the place was called Smith Rock.
Just beautiful, it was right outside of Bend.
We also made a few other stops along the way when we were going.
We stopped at a place called Detroit Lake.
The water there was so unbelievably blue.
We stopped at Silver Falls State Park on the way too, we got to walk under a waterfall.
I'll have a video of the whole road trip and trip to Bend coming out as an episode of Explore
sometime in the future.
So keep an eye out for that, but also make sure follow me on instagram if you do want
to see more of those photos, I'll be posting them over the coming week.
I know I had subtly mentioned it last but we are actually going on a trip to San Francisco.
Luckily, there's a little bit of a lead time from when I make these, to when they come
out.
It's a surprise for my wife's birthday.
She doesn't know about it yet so I haven't been able to talk about it at all.
This will air right after we get back.
Really really excited about that, I've never been to California, never been to San Francisco,
it seems like an incredible place I can't wait to do that.
While we were in Bend my wife and I planned out the next couple of trips, I think we're
going to plan some nice relaxing camping for next month.
She had fun in Bend with me hiking, but she definitely-- she doesn't like the longer hikes
like I do so we're going to do some just regular camping and do a little bit of relaxing.
I know I definitely need some relaxing too, even though I might fight it a little bit.
I have a tough time settling down these days.
Being up and going all the time, you kind of get in this routine or habit.
I don't like losing the momentum.
This is basically a business, with running this and with my normal full time job and
trying to have fun and going out and exploring and traveling, I'm pretty much nonstop going
morning to night.
So it'll be nice, I think sometime over the next month or two we might do a couple of
nice relaxing camping trips.
Quick side note with that, with anyone in the local area, if you have any recommendations
for places I should camp that are relatively close to Portland, leave them in the comments
below, that would be great.
While we're talking about it, I'm thinking about setting up a group hike for anyone in
the area.
All of us on the TEAMBFL we can all go on a nice hike in Forest Park or something, so
if you'd be interested in that be sure to let me know.
Now that the schedule is lightening up a bit, I'm excited to be able to do a few other things,
like setting up that group hike, or I'm also working on a website right now, going to have
a little bit more in-depth blog posts about things.
I've got some big plans for you guys, I've got some big plans for me.
Going to have a lot of fun in the process.
On the note of growing this channel I did want to announce that I did set up a Patreon
page.
So patreon is a website that was built to help support creators on youtube and other
places like me to continue making videos and to receive support from their community.
So if it's something you're interested in you can choose to donate a dollar a month,
or a couple dollars a month to the channel here and that's money I'm going to take and
re-invest back into it.
Improving the gear I use, being able to travel to expos and meetups, continuing to invest
more and more of my time into this, so if you are looking for a way to support that
would be just an immense help for me, and I would be incredibly grateful for it.
Even if you donated one dollar a month it has such a big impact for my livelyhood.
So if that's something you want to do, I have links at the end of the videos now, so feel
free to click through and donate if you're interested.
I really hesitated making the page, so I'm probably not going to bring it up again, I
don't want to pester you guys.
I do this for fun, I don't do this for the money.
So I'm not really looking for it but I just wanted to have that in place if anyone is
looking to support it does help me out quite a bit.
But this is going to wrap it up for this week's episode, no real big over-arching topic this
week, but it was definitely an exciting week for me personally.
Make sure to leave a comment below if you're in the Portland area let me know if you do
want to do that group hike and let me know of some good camping spots.
And make sure to hit the thumbs up button on the video it really does help me out so
much.
Be sure to subscribe if you want to see more I put out new videos every Monday and Friday,
but until next time I will talk to you all later.
Have a good one.
Can’t believe you have put it so well that even a newbie like me can understand it. Many many thanks.
