Solomon's Outdoor Adventures

Hello! My name is Solomon Feinstein and I am a Geologist & Science Teacher that seeks to inspire people to get outside and learn about the world around them! Welcome to my channel :)

I make documentaries on science & geology, and film my outdoor adventures, including rockhounding, hiking, and so much more!

I have a B.S. in Geology from University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). I did a year of Grad School at University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), but withdrew from my PhD program because I realized that my passion lies in teaching, making science more accessible to all, and science communication rather than in academia.

My day job is being a Middle School Science Teacher in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hello, All!

Just a quick update…

Firstly, thank you all for your continued support!!! I’m still working hard to get good quality videos out to y’all, but since school started and I’m in the classroom teaching now, it’s taking me just a little bit longer to edit things. As such, I am now aiming to get a new video out every 2-3 weeks. I am thankful for your continued patience!

The current project I’ve been working on should hopefully be out either this weekend or sometime next week... It’s been taking awhile to put together because it’s a BIG ONE… Similar to my video on California’s Mercury Mining and Nevada’s Gold Mining, but this one’s in Utah. Stay tuned for that…

Anyways, thank you all for your continued support and understanding! PEACE!

Hello, Everyone!

Thank you all for the continued support!!! Just want to give y’all a quick update- due to some family matters that just came up, I will unfortunately not be able to have a video out this week, but should hopefully have one out by the end of next week/next weekend. Thank you all for your continued patience and support!!!

Hi, all! Thanks again for the continued support!!!

Just want to give everyone a heads up- I likely won't have another video out for a few weeks, as I'll be traveling up to northern California from Las Vegas this week to film some much requested content in a few select locations- including, but not limited to:

-The Clear Lake Volcanic Field/Mt Konocti
-The Klamath Mountains/Trinity Alps
-Arcata/Eureka/Humboldt
-Pinnacles National Park
-The San Joaquin Valley

Thank you for your patience and your continued support! You guys rock! If you have any suggestions of places you'd like to see in a future video, please let me know :)

Hi, all! Thank you so much for tuning into my channel and watching my videos, I appreciate it so much :)

I'm currently working on a new video- "Geology of San Francisco & The Bay Area", similar to my episodes on Los Angeles and Las Vegas/Southern Nevada (part of the Geology of US Cities miniseries).

As such, I was hoping for some recommendations! Do any San Francisco Bay Area locals or Bay Area experts have any suggestions on cool geology spots around the Bay Area that you would like me to visit to discuss for my upcoming video?

For now, I'm definitely going to make my way to the Hayward Fault, San Andreas Lake/Fault, Salinian Block, and Marin Headlands, but I'm open to and in need of some more places to visit for this project!

Thanks, y'all!

Good Evening, All!

I know I said I would get a video out every Sunday this year, but the start of the new semester has been super busy. As such, my next video will drop next week WEDNESDAY at 6 PM, and it'll be a deep dive into the geologic history of Las Vegas and surrounding areas- episode 1 of a new miniseries, "Geology of US Cities"- where I'll be diving into the geology of selected cities around the US. I will also have a new episode out next Sunday- so look out for that.

Thanks again for the continued support, everyone!

Hey all! Thank you so much for the continued support and for watching my videos :)

Part 2 of my Cascade Canyon video will drop on Sunday at 6 PM PST (the part where we actually go rockhounding), and I will be working diligently all year to get new videos out to you guys EVERY SUNDAY for ALL OF 2025.

This has not been possible without all of your support, and I'm really excited to get some cool new content out to you guys! I've been working on a few bigger projects over the past few weeks...

Hey, everyone!!!

I just wanted to profusely thank all of you for supporting my channel! I’m forever grateful to receive the support that I have, and I never dreamed on day 1 that I would be here at 10,000 subscribers!!! You guys are the best, this simply would not be possible without you all :)

I’ve got 2 major announcements to make…

I’ve been traveling throughout LA and Southern California, hard at work on my next big project- “Why Does California Have So Many Earthquakes?” and it will drop by next week Friday (Dec 20th)! Stay tuned for that…

As a thank you for helping me reach 10,000 subscribers and an homage to the holiday spirit, I’ll also be doing a giveaway in my next video! Simply like and comment on it, and I’ll put you in a raffle for a free $100 Amazon Giftcard! The raffle will be open until January 1st, where I will email the winner their gift card!

Thanks again for the support, everyone! I cannot express the scope of my gratitude for y’all. You’re all the best, and I wouldn’t be able to make these videos if it weren’t for y’all!
