Good Morning! Just leaving Moab and wanted to tell you that we did the Fisher Tower Trail. Your video was a great recommendation and that was one of our top 5 trails we have discovered. Well our number one was half done and you with your daughter were a big part of that also. Keep the videos coming. His Bless Rich and Missy McPhee PS: had to play a few tunes on the pipes at the top of Fisher Tower Trail!!!

If you're ever on I-85 in Alabama, you need to do a quick exit at the Tuskegee Airmen NHS. Fascinating glimpse into WWII aviation. Very well maintained, and the artifacts are great. Right off the exit, too. A real short diversion with a big payoff.

What sparked your love for the parks? What was the first park you ever visited?

Have your girls always enjoyed hiking? How did you do manage things when they were younger and not able to do as much? Asking as a grandparent who takes her 8 year old granddaughter with us as much as possible and hoping she doesn't lose the hiking gene. Also, definitely interested in the behind the scenes stories from how you plan your trips to the editing process to what your family does for fitness to what gear you always have with you when hiking. Thank you!

Do you have footage of recent travels we haven't seen yet? Always enjoy your travels with fellowship and especially with your family, how wonderful! Thanks for the inspiration you give through these Randy!

Love your videos! How do you decide which park to go to next? There are so many parks and all beautiful in their own way. Keep up the great work!

If you had to live in a National Park for the rest of your life (all expenses taken care of) which one out of 62 would you choose? When did you realize you wanted to travel to National Parks?

We enjoy watching your episodes and will continue to no matter how you answer this question. What church do you attend?

If you could go to any national park outside of the United States where would you go? How long have you been a pastor? Ever have any close calls on trail?

Love your videos. I, like you, have a love and obsession with the outdoors and the parks. What parks have you wanted to visit that you haven't yet and which parks would you consider, pose the most risk for outdoor recreation? Thank you. Andrew.

How long does it take you to put an episode together? Would love to see your editing process, how you choose music, what you decide to keep and what ends up on the cutting room floor. I'm always interested in behind the scenes things.

Oh how fun! Question 1 - who is your favorite child? Ha ha - Kayla put me up to that one! A read question: What park and / or adventure / hike surprised you the most and why? And: Most stunning / blown away moment in a park or monument?

I love your videos. My wife and I have been watching these fun and informative videos for a future trip to Utah’s Mighty Five. What advice do you have for first time visitors. We are going in the fall as an informational note.

@MichaelYoungblood1

What are your tips regarding packing for your trips that involve camping and flying? We are a family of five on the east coast. I have looked into flying for our prospective trips out west but it just doesn’t appear the most cost effective solution after I factor in the cost of the flight, rental car, and the limitations on what we can pack. For our road trips, we always stay at hotels on the way, camp at our destinations, and eat out of the cooler as much as possible. So how do you pull off flying and packing the essential camping gear that will make the camping experience feasible?

Love the videos! How do you find the time and money to go to all these awesome parks? As a dad of 8 time is not easy to come by

Yes miss your videos and adventures. Hopefully soon we will be back on the road. I have to postpone my South Dakota trip. Stay safe my friend. Have you ever been to Niagara falls? It's on my long list of places

What’s your favorite (or list of favorite) non national parks. Such as state parks, national monuments, national forest, BLM lands etc. I love national parks but so do a lot of other people and sometime the less crowded lesser known areas and even more amazing (I think) then the national parks.

Hey Pastor Randy.. I just started watching your channel recently.. wish I found your channel sooner.. (Im surprised you don not have a LARGER subscriber base) "A christian man that has a huge thirst for life and adventure, and enjoys it with his family and friends" youtube needs more people like you and your family and channels like yours!I I travel frequently for work and travel as much as possible for pleasure.. I too like nature, being outdoors, active and U.S. history. My question is, what is your point and shoot camera ? I have a decent (big camera.."picture/video") and ive had a few sport cameras (fuji film gopro.) not a huge gopro fan. Im in the market for a point and shoot one that takes decent video. although my phone is working pretty well for an intermediate camera. What point and shoot do you use?
