💾I find myself in Tasmania, about to descend a sickly orange, biologically dead river the locals call pumpkin soup. After 100 years of runoff from a mine, The Queen River, is considered the most polluted river in Australia.

💾URBAN FORAGING: I’ve always loved finding stuff, and as a self prescribed observer, always lookin’, I always seem to find money. This film is about finding as much cash as possible in a regular 9-5 workday in order to take my family to dinner. As a tap and go, cashless, app drive society, notes and coins are becoming a thing of the past. So, my work-day, find-money challenge, to buy-my-family-dinner, might be one of the worst ideas I’ve ever decided to film. - Pro

💾KAYAK RESCUE: I’ve recently shot a TV series for Red Bull where I interview world class athletes in their backyards. While shooting some introductory shots from a friendly white-water river in France, I end up getting rescued by the athlete (Nouria Newman) I was there to interview. Long story short, it all went swimmingly until I missed my roll and took a swim in a very cold river. Nouria does a brilliant job of mopping up. It’s a series of bad decisions followed by a seri

💾Julie Anding, like me, is a cutoff chaser. I met Julie at Mammoth Trailfest where we both got cutoff at the summit of Mammoth mountain. It turns out that was not her first (or even second) time doing that. We get the full details on Julie’s history of running, trail running and chasing cutoffs. We also learn how Julie is using her yoga business and positive mindset to make a difference and help heal those among us who are vulnerable and hurting. Not only that, Julie is doing all

💾SUPERHUMAN: A company that makes exoskeletons reached out and asked if I’d be interested in wearing their devices on an outdoor mission. Sure, I said, as long as I can do my own kind of mission in my own kind of way. So, I decided to stock a remote mountain hut with beans, given I like beans, and I like mountain huts- and have used them in the past as refuge. To get there I decided to go down, then up, one of the longest spurs in Australia- the perfect terrain to test out a set
