Had the amazing opportunity to share a campfire with my homie Grant Chaffin today.  Grant is a canyoneering, camping, mountain biking guide in Zion National Forest who is in the process of gearing up for another amazing busy tourist season in Utah.  He shared some great backstory in addition to, why he does what he does which to me, is the most important part.  Hope you enjoy I know I did, cheers. Grant, love you brothah  If you're interested in learning more about great adventure ideas this summer, check out guided tours through Zion Guide Hub.  As your one stop shop for guided adventures in the Zion area, they have everything from canyoneering, to mountain biking, and climbing trips available, in addition to a bunch of water activities as well.  All tours very reasonably priced and fun for the whole family to enjoy.    Visit Zionguidehub.com for more information.

Loved chopping it up with Courtney.  In today's time, it is refreshing to have differing views and still be able to have a real conversation.  It's amazing what can happen when we don't let our egos get in the way.  Courtney is a world beater with an interesting, outside the box mission and I loved hearing about where she's heading.  Hope you enjoy and campfire's should always start at dusk,  Cheers.

Another campfire in the books.  You haven't heard from us in a while.  With all this social and political turmoil going on, I thought I'd take a step back until the dust settled.  We can all be ruled by our emotions sometimes.  Going into 2021, it's time for us to be the trailblazers of our own lives again.  

Had a great time chopping it up with my good buddy Micheal X Morgan.  Micheal is a very thoughtful compassionate person who has a deep desire to help inspire more people to unplug and get out in the wilderness more.  He is soon heading to green university in Montana to study basic survival skills such as starting fire by friction, building and setting traps, and shelter building.  It was a great conversation that I got a lot out of and I hope you will too, enjoy.

In this episode Jon sits down with three hikers, Radar, Splinter and Ice-T, who are currently in the process of thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.  I had such a great time shooting the shit with these guys.  I got a lot of great info about everything from gear to the logistics of the hike and heard some pretty crazy stories too.  You can track their progress by following Radar on instagram @freeborne_photography.  Enjoy!

Might get fired for this one!  In this episode Jon offers up some opinions that might not be soo poplular in the age of cancel culture.  Last time we checked, free speech was still a thing.  Enjoy.

In this episode, we break down the principles of Leave no Trace in a way that reaches much further than laws to follow while out enjoying the outdoors.  Man, I had such a great time coloring outside the lines of backpacking basics.  We could all accept a little bit more personal responsibility.  Intro. is sampled from Going to Mars by Judah and the Lion

Had the great pleasure of sitting down with my homie Blakley Storm Evans for a bit.  Blakley is an aspiring writer and rock climbing instructor at a local rock climbing gym.  He shares in the passion of getting as many people out and exposed to the outdoors as we do and has a distinct perspective I think you're going to enjoy.  Take a listen

My name is Yeff and I crack the door to the rabbit hole to introduce you to our craziness.  Just a short little shoot for shoots, introducing you to our passion for the outdoors and why we do what we do.  Sit down, strap in and hold.  Not long but we hope you enjoy.

Jon rants about the frustrations of being cooped up during the weird time then rolls into the need for us all to be better.  We are all capable of being better and fulfilling our potential but sometimes a push in the right diction is just what the doctor order.
