I film long walks in the mountains, mostly alone, and write about how I make things: the films, the trips and the AI tools behind them.

  1. LatestYouTube & films Making my Türkiye Black Sea film: from AI cuts to my own final edit The behind the scenes of my sponsored film from Türkiye's Black Sea coast: a 100-minute rough cut, an editor's first cut, Claude's cuts built around my voice, and the two passes in Final Cut where I took it back and made it mine.
  2. YouTube & films Making and launching a 7-hour hiking film with AI The behind the scenes of my new 7-hour ambient film: the three-hour montage AI built first, how I steered it into twelve whole films, the music and its thirty copyright claims, the thumbnail, and the launch.
  3. YouTube & films All the music in my films, in one searchable library Claude found 867 songs I've used or licensed over years of films and logged where each one is used, so I can find music fast, see what I've already used and fix copyright claims.
  4. AI & tools Inbox zero with AI: brand pitches sorted, quoted and filed How Claude takes my inbox to zero without deleting anything: every email filed in KraigOS first, brand pitches sorted, and nothing sent without my yes.
  5. AI & tools I built my own operating system for my creator business KraigOS is the small system Claude and I built to run my one-person business: one database I own, a few tools and one AI routine. Why, and what it does.
  6. AI & tools KraigOS: one AI routine runs my inbox, calendar and files One Claude routine files my email, keeps my calendar and handles my files every 4 hours, and brings me one list to review. How it works, and what day one taught me.
  1. GearEverything I carry on the trails in my films, and what I film with.
  2. BrandsEvery brand I've partnered with, and how to work with me.
  3. Group tripsAbout once a year I take a small group of viewers hiking. Get one email when tickets open.
