Trips and films: the log
Every trip I've filmed and every film I've made since June 2019, by year: where, when, how far, the films each trip became, and a line in my own words from each film.
Each trip is listed under the year I went, with its dates, the place and the days and distance as my films and guides give them. Under it are the films it became (some came out years later) and the guide I made from it. The line in quotes is the first sentence of the film's YouTube description, word for word. Films that aren't from one trip, like gear videos and vlogs, are listed by the day they came out.
Looking for something? Search all three logs: this one, KraigOS and HollowARK. The trips I've hosted for subscribers are on Trips with me, and every film is on Videos.
