I'm Steven, another YouTube backpacker with a mild obsession for all things gear-related. On this channel, I delve into the world of backpacking gear, offering invaluable insights, tips, and tricks. Whether you're looking for beginner backpacker tips, tests on the newest cutting-edge technology, ultralight setups, or more traditional load-outs, I've got you covered. Join me as I put real gear to the test, recount epic trips, and share what it’s really like to make a career from YouTube.
A bit about me: I'm a 40-year-old, happily married father of four. I started YouTubing full-time in November 2021 to share my love for the great outdoors, helping people get out and explore the outdoors just as much as I do. If you ever have questions or thoughts, don't hesitate to reach out. You can drop a comment on any of my videos, or send an email to info@mylifeoutdoors.com.

I thought those of you who see my face on a regular basis would get a kick out of this. I found this on my FB feed this week. This is an older photo of my wife and I that someone "enhanced" with AI.

Hey Everyone. I hope you are all having a Happy Thanksgiving. It has felt really strange not working on videos, but I am very thankful for all the support, thoughts, and prayers while I take time to be with family. There are some exciting things coming later this week I can’t wait to share with you, but in the meantime I wanted to plug my good friends over at Garage Grown Gear.
This is not a sponsored post, but if you watch this channel much at all then you know GGG has been a long time sponsor of the channel. They have been very supportive and understanding while I cut back so I wanted to give a shout out to their Holiday Sale going on right now. If you are looking for unique, high quality backpacking gear go check it out. A small brand like GGG relies on sales this time of year to carry them through the cold months of winter. So here are a few deals that stood out to me. Hopefully you find something you can’t live without:

Hey everyone! I want to take a moment and express my deepest gratitude for the outpouring of support you sent last week. When I recorded that video I wasn’t sure what to expect, I figured only a small group would take the time to watch that long, rambling, and quickly shot video. But your generosity and support have left me blown away. We are forever grateful for you and feel the love, prayers, hopes, and vibes.
An update on what is going on this week:
Celeste has been battling a slight cold and a very low white blood cell count. They gave her some injections to bring that up and we are grateful they worked and she is able to complete her seventh week of chemo.
November will probably be pretty quiet here on the channel but I may do a livestream sometime soon, and we have something exciting happening early December. Thanks again for all the love and support. You have no idea what it means to me.

The Worlds Largest Organism that I talked about late last year:https://youtu.be/MFYW___qH3s is dangerously close to the Monroe Canyon Fire. There is no imminent threat as of right now. Let’s all hope this fire is contained quickly.
Thank you to @BackcountryExposure for bringing this to my attention.
