Bus Campers

I came up with a clever way to mount a starlink mini inside the bus to use while in motion. Anyone interested in a how to video?

Bus Campers

I recently discovered that Danielle Lopez appears for a few seconds in a bike tour video I filmed at Brendan Byrne State Forest campground, just 3 days before she went missing.

Key timeline:

Wednesday morning, April 10, 2024: I filmed a full campground tour on my bike (for my old channel).
Late April 2024: Uploaded the video to YouTube, where it's sat ever since.
Feb 22, 2026: Went down a rabbit hole on her case, rewatched my own footage, spotted her + 1 other person at a campsite as I pedaled past.
Immediately messaged her mom Sue Quakenbush on Facebook for confirmation.
Recovered original 4K raw files (had been deleted from main drive) and sent them to NJ State Police.
Sue gave her blessing for me to make this awareness video (Part 1 now live). I've shared everything with her and investigators already - this is purely to jog memories of others who were there that week.

If you were in Brendan Byrne State Forest / Pine Barrens area April 7-13, 2024:

Check phone galleries, SD cards, dashcams, GoPro clips
Look at campground backgrounds, forest roads, wide shots
A blue Hyundai Accent or someone matching her description could be in your footage
Watch Part 1: https://youtu.be/j5dVLOUBPC4

Part 2 (retracing campground/Wawa/road locations) coming soon.

Contact NJ State Police directly with anything relevant: 609-882-2000 ext 2554 / missingpinformation@njsp.gov

Keep Danielle in your thoughts.

Hike #2 of my #NJ250 Challenge

Bus Campers

Just launched a Substack to go along with the NJ 250 Challenge series! It’s where I’ll post a written version of each episode, some behind‑the‑scenes thoughts, and a batch of photos from every hike. If you like the videos but want a slower, “journal-style” companion to them, you might enjoy following along there. I’ll be updating it as I make my way through all 25 parks.

Check it out here:

Becoming a paid member there directly supports the time, travel, and gear that go into filming and editing these episodes, and helps keep this kind of long‑form, cinematic trail content sustainable. It also tells me there’s an audience that values deeper, more thoughtful storytelling, which lets me justify investing even more energy into future hikes, experiments, and series ideas. You'll also see each NJ 250 video earlier than the Youtube release.

I met up with 2 other YT creators for a sectional hike of the Batona Trail.

We started our hike at Ongs Hat with temps in the 30s. There’s a saying: "Be Bold, Start Cold" (start hiking with fewer layers so you don't sweat). Do you follow this rule? 🧥❄️
Don't forget to join myself, Jaison and Ron tonight at 8pm ET in the Live Chat during the Premier of our Freezing Pine Barren Adventure!

Let's see.....On this trip I drove 400 miles to almost fell off a ledge, get hit with hot exploding rock fragment from the campfire all while running on 3 hours of sleep. But it was a hell of a trip!
