Adventure Adjacent is my slow-lane project about finding adventure in the margins: back roads, gravel pull-offs, and the driveway.

Hi Fediverse, I’m Mike, and this is Adventure Adjacent.

This account is for the project: stories, photos, and videos from a well-used 2007 FJ Cruiser, my dog Hugo in the back seat, and all the “almost home” adventures that happen on the way to the grocery […]

I liked both the color and black and white of this cow I encountered on a hike.

If your weekend plans include tinkering, learning, or finally finishing that project you’ve been circling for weeks: this Field Note is my write-up on ditching Clipchamp (constant relinking + “Ready in a moment” purgatory) and moving to DaVinci Resolve […]

Dear ICE,

If you don't like being called Nazis, maybe stop doing so much Nazi-like shit?

Six hours. A couple coffee breaks. A couple “see a man about a horse” breaks. And one absolutely predictable lie I told myself at least ten times:

“Just one more load.”

Anyway...
Cruising Louisiana: COMPLETE ✅

This stream was a perfect little microcosm of […]

We’re 15 minutes out.
8:30 AM ET start time. ATS, classic 351 Pete 389, Coca-Cola Santa trailer, and the kind of calm highway pacing that only exists until the first on-ramp merge.

Come say hi: https://twitch.tv/adventureadjacent

Happy Holidays, folks.
Tomorrow (Fri) at 8:30 AM ET, I’m going live with American Truck Simulator and the classic 351 Peterbilt 389 dressed up in the Coca-Cola Santa livery, like a faded postcard from a cozier timeline.

Join the stream […]

Borrowed this from someone on another account who borrowed it from Howard Thurman

When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal […]

Scotland reserve first run ✅ (and wow, this map is gorgeous).
Tested the bait barrel + electronic caller setup and it paid off fast: I bagged a fallow deer at 45 yards with a clean double-lung, one-shot hit.

Boar… not so much 😅 I had a pack of six in front […]

Day-after thought: the biggest upgrade wasn’t “better color tools” or “more features.” It was reliability. Clipchamp made me do admin work just to start creating. Resolve makes me learn, but it doesn’t waste my time on nonsense.

If you’re in the same “I […]

Retired 27-year FBI agent Brian Carroll, who specialized in managing exactly the type of cases like the Brown University shooting, explains all the ways in which Kash Patel just ain't it. Really great inside analysis:

I'm just reviewing some old(er) video I recorded quite a while ago ... and I admit that I'm eager to record in higher quality!

But hey, it's all a learning curve. I'm not feeling bad about the bad quality. I regard it pretty nice to see the advancement over time! […]
