    I haven't been watching your videos for very long, but it's great to see the interesting places you go and the places you learn about along the way. The dad jokes are just the icing on the cake. Great work Ken, keep em coming. Would love to get a drone one day and look at the interesting places we have here in Australia...

    You know why your channel is the best? Because you find places like the Brushy Mountain Prison AND a guard that used to work there and get cool shots and cool stories!
    What a beautiful place to put a prison actually. Imagine trying to find and escaped murderer in those tree covered mountains?

    Good thing about taking back roads is that you may find a nice curvy road and have to remember it when you take your bike out. I was on my way home from work one day and the interstate was a parking lot so I got off and accidentally found one fun road. Now I take it every now and again when I am not in a hurry and just want to go for a nice ride.

      I have used the Fat Shark goggles and received my dji goggles about 3 months ago. I also use them for shooting video and stills. I have found the dji goggles far superior both in clarity and picture size. That being a able to view 1080 full screen with total immersion with the image. The only down side is you need to use them with reading glasses about twice the strength as your normal correction. That being said I think you will be blown away by the picture quality.
