All alone without a crew presents some challenges when making adventure videos. Here on day 2 of shooting my Snake Island Survival Adventure series in Isla Culebra I show the simple setup I use. It's not the best but it works. The most difficult thing is keeping up your performance when food and water run out.... My basic gear bag for this trip: Nikon D7200 with assortment of lenses, GoPro Hero 3+ Black, Dolica ultra compact tripod, H4N audio recorder, and Monoprice flexible tripod.

This region of the Mojave National Preserve in California contains several volcanic cinder cones that were still active 10,000 years ago. Bear crawling is the only way to climb up due to the steep slopes covered with loose cinders. The view from the top is spectacular!

En esta región de la Reserva Nacional de Mojave en California hay varios volcanes cilindros que estuvieron activos hace 10.000 años. Gatear como un oso es la única manera para subir debido a la inclinada cubierta de piedras flojas. ¡Desde lo alto la vista es espectacular!

After a restless night being bitten by no-see-um bugs I continue hiking towards the northwest point of Flamenco Peninsula as I search for water along the way but the search becomes desperate as the sources I had counted on turn up dry.

Not as cold as my plunge into a glacial pool in Alaska but still a withheld experience. Numbness and shivers followed as I allowed myself to air dry on the beach. The water is super shallow, too shallow to swim.

One day at the beach I got the idea to crawl up and down the shore and threw in sets of pushups and lunges along the way. I crawled almost until failure. The following three days I experienced a lot of muscle soreness. I was hooked!.... Do this workout in your favorite outdoor surroundings. There's no equipment needed, just a willing body. Go for it!

Cross-border work isn't easy, but acting in a movie in Tijuana, Mexico is always an adventure. Getting there is half the fun. Spanish, pesos, tacos and taxis are just part of the excitement. Step into this visual diary of my two-day adventure going to set on an independent film in Tijuana. This is part one of a two-part series.... Enjoy!

Caimans are common in the Amazon. During my stay at Amazon Antonio's Lodge in Amazonas our guide, Jungle James, took us out one night on the Urubu River to spot caimans. Armed with flashlights we got in a canoe and silently glided through the water in the flooded forest in search of these elusive creatures. Here's what we found and learned.

Ilha Grande in the state of Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful pristine destinations in Brazil. It is easily accessible by a quick one-hour ferry ride from Angra dos Reis. There are no vehicles on the island so be prepared to hike or boat your way around. Whatever your means, it is well worth the trip. The natural beauty is breathtaking. There are camping spots along the way as well as several tiny villages, many with a restaurant or two. Be prepared to see and hear lots of wildlife from several species of monkeys and birds to armadillos and lots of sea life under the water.

They drove on a dirt road to Big Meadow and I decided to run there by way of the Salmon Creek Trail, but the trail ended and I was lost!

A short-notice camping trip to the beautiful local mountains of San Diego to enjoy the outdoors while learning to make fire, identify wild edible plants, practice using the LifeStraw, and more.....

There's nothing quite like attending a soccer game in Brazil. The energy in the stadium is like lightning. The fans' enthusiasm for their team is so strong that they aren't allowed to mix with the other team's fans, or violence may erupt. This was my first time attending a Brazilian soccer game and it happened at Governor Magalhaes Pinto Stadium in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

It's a lot of fun getting tossed around in the waves at this paradisal beach guarded by a huge towering rock sitting majestically in the middle of a long extension of soft white sand. This is my friend Henrique's playground. In fact, Recreio dos Bandeirantes translates to "Adventurers' Playground". What an appropriate place for me to try out surfing for the first time.

The cool rainy months bring forth lots of young tender grasses. In the southwest of the U.S. the hillsides and valleys turn green with young grass sprouts during the winter and spring rains, even in some areas of the deserts. During a camping trip at Catalina State Park in Arizona I had the priviledge to eat wild, fresh, green grasses daily. Grass is an excellent source of chlorophyll and essential vitamins and minerals. Grass that grows in the earth and receives natural sunlight is far richer in nutrients than grasses grown in trays under artificial lighting for the purpose of juicing. If you think you may want to start adding grass to your diet or just want to store away the knowledge for a hiking adventure or survival situation, then watch and enjoy this video.

Leucaena (leadtree) is commonly found in warm subtropical locations around the world. Originally from Mexico, it has naturalized in many places including the islands of the Caribbean.... Jumbie beans (known as 'guajes' in Spanish, are the seeds found in the pods. When green the unripe seeds can be eaten raw. Some say they are toxic. Historically they have been eaten raw by people for centuries, including myself. The seeds are commonly used in Mexican cooking... The fact is that little research has been done on the nutritional and medicinal uses of jumbie beans however preliminary studies indicate that they are highly nutritious and possess useful medicinal properties as well. As for me, I will continue to enjoy them as a nutritious wild edible food on all my future adventures.

I had the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime wish of visiting and exploring the Amazon. I arranged a two-day, two-night tour with Amazon Antonio Jungle Tours and myself along with five guys from Denmark traveled by boat from the lodge up the Urubu River and then we hiked on foot for the following two days carrying all our gear, camping primitively and sleeping in hammocks under the tree canopy.... We observed wildlife such as elusive spider monkeys, noisy macaws and huge creepy tarantulas.... Super high humidity and heat kept us in a constant sweat but cool freshwater streams provided much needed relief.... Our guides introduced us to several species of trees and plants with important medicinal properties.... Thanks to our guides and Amazon Antonio Jungle Tours for a amazing experience!

After hiking several days and living mostly on coconuts, finding a fresh ripe prickly pear cactus fruit really makes my taste buds go wild!... Known as "tuna" in Spanish, Opuntia cactus are thought to have originated in Mexico and later spread throughout the Americas... The fruit of this particularly species is tangy and sweet with lots of dark red juice that will temporarily stain your skin... Opuntia fruit is a good source of vitamin-C and magnesium... When harvesting handle the fruit carefully to avoid getting the tiny spines in your skin as these will be an irritant for several hours, and then carefully remove these spines with a knife, rag or flame.

The great outdoors is great for adventure and getting away from it all, and unfortunately also home to great quantities of biting insects such as mosquitoes and no-see-um bugs (also called biting midges or chaquistes in Spanish). I've had over 1000 bites on my body in a single day and it is a living hell. Mosquito and no-see-um bugs are the one thing that can turn a great camping trip into a torturous prison, and that prison is a human body that can't escape the extreme itching sensation. But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. After years of suffering mosquito attacks I finally found a couple of safe and effective ways to prevent those ferocious bites. Watch and try them for yourself. Please subscribe and leave comments below. I do a lot of wilderness travel and will be sharing more and more.

La Venta Canyon runs along the El Ocote Biosphere Reserve about 45 km. from Tuxtla, the capitol city of Chiapas, Mexico. The main attraction is the Aguacero waterfall but on this adventure I am getting off a bus along the highway and running down the dirt road to the canyon, down 725 steps, to the Aguacero waterfall and then 12 km. (7.5 miles) to another beautiful waterfall called La Conchuda. There is no trail in the canyon. Boulders, sand, rock and shallow water are the way. No water is necessary to bring because of the numerous freshwater springs. After reaching La Conchuda I return to a cave near where I began and spend the night lying on the sandy ground watching lightning flash in the warm night air and fire flies cruise slowly over the surface of the river. At around 3 am a mild earthquake wakes me and at the beginning of dawn I make my way back to the highway.

Enjoy the fantastic scenery and natural beauty of this tropical jungle jewel!

La Venta Canyon in a stunningly gorgeous destination in the pristine tropical wilderness of El Ocote Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico that hosts a vast biodiversity of over 2,000 plant and fungi species and 5,000 animals species, where the sound of tropical birds never ceases and fresh water springs forth from the tall rugged rocky cliffs. The river is full of various species of cichlids and catfish and at night the jungle lights up with fireflies dancing around the shore of the river.

On this trip I slowly make my way up the canyon observing the best of nature, drinking from springs, and identifying edible plants,... and um,.. eating insects too! I build a very, very simple shelter at night which protects me from the rain. Other than nearly getting hit by falling rock everything goes well.

El Chichón (Chichonal), a moderately active volcano in Chiapas, Mexico erupted violently on March 28, 1982, destroying nearby villages and the surrounding landscape. El Chichonal remains active and can be reached on a day hike.

México es un pais lleno de naturaleza y lugares impresionantes para explorar. Uno de mis lugares favoritos es el Cañon Río la Venta en la Reserva de la Biósfera Selva el Ocote en Chiapas. Está a unos 45 km. de Tuxtla de Gutierrez. La atracción principal es la Cascada el Aguacero pero en esta aventura bajo del autobús en la carretera principal y corro a pie hasta abajo de los 725 escalones a la Cascada el Aguacero, y luego 12 km. (7.5 miles) a otra cascada hermosa llamada La Conchuda. No existe ningún sendero en el cañon. El camino tiene muchos obstáculos como piedras, vegetación, el río y arena. No es necesario llevar agua porque hay muchas manantiales de agua dulce y limpia. Después de alcanzar la Conchuda y hacer un chapoteo en sus pozas frescas regreso a la cueva cerca a donde comencé y paso la noche acostado sobre la arena mirando relámpagos en el cielo y luciérnagas paseando lentamente sobre la superficie del río. Alrededor de las 3 de la mañana un pequeño temblor me despierta y unas horas después me levanto para regresar a la parada de autobús en la carretera.

Broad-leaf cattails (Typha latifolia) are found in wet areas throughout North America. They have tons of uses and here is an easy way to eat one of the edible parts of this most useful plant. Besides being tasty they are very nutritious too.
