<b>I haven't made a post on this blog, or updated it since November 2017.</br>
<br>These days as most anyone who follows me know's I'm way more concentrated on my Podcast on YouTube, "American Nomad" as most know I am a avid Trump Supporter and denouce the chaos and narrative pushed on us from the Leftist Media.
I awoke about 3am this morning after taking the day off on Tuesday and resting all day to stumble across an article on the New York Times about the actual events that led to the death of Breonna Taylor.
I was actually taken aback by the article and the journalism integrigty the author "Rukmini Callimachi" put into this article.
It's a long read, but well worth the time spent.</br>
<br>This article is a flash back to what the New York Times use to be, it lays out all the reality of the events that led up to Breonna's death, from her long term romantic envolvement with a well known to police avid drug dealer that had done a prison stint in his home state of Mississippi to his many arrest by Louisville PD and an ongoing drug investigation by their department.
No case from George Floyd to Jacob Blake, two criminals with a long criminal past, but Breonna Taylor, Breonna is different.
This is a young woman shot to death by police in her own home!</br>
<br>I have to admit with all the chaos and the hostlity towards police today, I too have jumped on the defend the Police bandwagon, and it took this article and a youtube video I saw in 2018 to stir and bring back how angry I was at a group of racist ass cops that pulled an 18yr old kid over and treated him like an everyday criminal.
Here's the video..I'll let you judge it for yourself, but I can tell you 100% in my opinion this kid was pulled over for no other reaon that being black, and the cops all but admit it and still treat the kid and his mother like they are the problem.
<br><iframe class="BLOG_video_class" allowfullscreen="" youtube-src-id="LtQG0JlCORI" width="600" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LtQG0JlCORI"></iframe></br>
Do, I support the majority of police? Yes, in fact I do, but we do need some police reform in this country, we also need to either completely end our war on drugs, or do a hard revamp, so, these kind of civil liberties violations, like the kid being pulled over and illegally searched end.</br>
<br>End the drug war and Breonna Taylor is still alive today.</br>
<br>Here is the article from the New York Times that to my understanding will also be a documentary that I am very much looking forward to seeing.
Last but not least I want to thank the Author, Rukmini Callimachi for her outstanding article and the New York Times for actually publishing it.
I encourage everyone to read it.</br>
This will be the main topic on the American Nomad Podcast today, Wednesday, September 9. 2020

We all have regrets,</h3>
<div>
So, what's mine, you ask?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I will address that and some other things in my latest YouTube video. Come take a ride with me.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Bertha Got an Upgrade</span></span></h2>
<h3>
Finally Replaced my old Bulbs!</h3>
<div>
I finally got around to replacing my old incandescent light bulbs with the much cooler, and brighter LED's, oh and did I forget to mention they use a whole lot less electricity? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you will see in the video I actually bought my bulbs at Camping World and in doing so I paid that big retail premium price!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I paid over $70 for 8 light bulbs...since my purchase, I have found LED Bulbs on Amazon, so if you're interested in this upgrade for yourself I'm including the link to purchase these bulbs directly from Amazon, or you can do like I did and buy them off the self at Camping World, your choice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Conclusion;</h4>
<div>
I actually could not be happier with this upgrade, it's literally one of the fastest easiest upgrades I think you can do to an RV, and the power you'll save will more than pay for itself in the long run.<br />

Finally got out of my house!</h3>
<div>
Seemed like it took an eternity, but I finally got all moved out of my house in Joshua Tree and took my first road trip down to Pismo Beach, where for a mere, ten bucks a night you can boondock, or camp right on the beach.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had a great little weekend away with friends, before returning to LA to work on this season of American Horror Story. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you all enjoy the video as much as I did the trip, but that is highly unlikely, probably impossible.</div>

<b>Dual XDVD770bt</b> </h3>
<div>
It was time for Bertha to get a new Stereo Head Unit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I originally wanted touchscreen flip out 7" screen unit. Due to Bertha's dash configuration that wasn't a possibility, so I opted for a DVD with a built-in screen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was leery of installing this unit myself, but with some patience and persistence I was able to make a successful install and it honestly wasn't that bad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have found after installing this stereo I am able to use the built-in mic to walk around my RV and still have great, normal phone conversation using the Bluetooth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was skeptical of the Dual brand, but as of now, I can tell you I am 100% happy with this purchase.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Replacing Bertha's existing broken stock antenna was actually a bigger challenge than the stereo installation itself.</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6Hmeael2hcDZ0emEO6KfDhe_XYVNeNf7ZkZr64yuhA9Z3fNWQKCHYE8ell7gt7XfBGnR7nGphisXqk7ULKwT_ArK-oIAibYYPFihgNMWNcXOacfBD9BsGULFBJdWxCEJiQina5H4bgAm/s1600/IMG_0171.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6Hmeael2hcDZ0emEO6KfDhe_XYVNeNf7ZkZr64yuhA9Z3fNWQKCHYE8ell7gt7XfBGnR7nGphisXqk7ULKwT_ArK-oIAibYYPFihgNMWNcXOacfBD9BsGULFBJdWxCEJiQina5H4bgAm/s400/IMG_0171.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I ended up having to pull out the entire dash to be able to pull the new antenna wire through.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the end, I was able to make a successful install and am very happy with the head unit and results.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<b>Hey Y'all</b>,</h2>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><b>Anyone Chris Stapleton Fans, like myself?</b></span><br />
<br />
Well, if you are I have some really great news.<br />
Chris's new album is now available for download on iTunes. <a href="https://itun.es/us/Maj2ib">Click Here </a><br />
<br />
I'm super excited to announce I got my very first ever fully paid sponsorship deal with none other than Chris's label, which is UMG Nashville.<br />
<br />
I had worked on doing a YouTube promo video to pre-promote Chris's new album before it's release date on May 5th, but the way the world works these days, Amy my contact at UMG being super busy things on approval for the video were delayed, but after watching the video they still decided to go ahead with approving it and have me release the video today.<br />
<br />
Being a huge Chris Stapleton fan myself I literally could not be any happier to be one of the chosen few to get a chance to tell you about this great new album. I have listened to the new track "Broken Halos" on repeat since I downloaded it.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited about Chris's new music and I am sure you will be too.<br />
<br />
Anywho, be sure and also check out my latest YouTube video, but more importantly, don't forget to buy Chris's new album and help support an artist we love.<br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #38761d;">Do you know how expensive video lighting is?</span></h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is no other way to say it....video lighting, especially nice bright LED lighting is expensive.</div>
<div>
As some of you know a couple of Keno Flos can set you back several thousand dollars.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This has been my dilemma since venturing into the video realm and now getting serious about it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being a Professional Still Photographer, nothing drives me more insane than badly lit videos.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After much research, I came across this very thin small LED light, the Viltrox L116T.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>In this video:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
We will be unboxing and taking a quick look at the Viltrox L116. </div>
<div>
My first impressions of the light are I am impressed to get such great light out of such a small light.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I literally can't believe just how thin these are.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The Light Comes with:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
The light literally comes with no other accessories other than a tripod light stand adapter. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">*No Battery</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">*No Power Cable</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">*No Light Stand</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You will have to either order batteries or if you are lucky as myself I have two Sony Camcorders that use the NP model battery that powers the light. So, I have two batteries and was another reason I chose this particular light.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: #38761d;">Conclusion:</span></h3>
<div>
I will be using this light extensively in studio and on location to see how well it holds up under real world conditions, but as of right now I plan on purchasing two more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just have not seen a LED this thin and small that puts out this type of light and the fact it's battery powered is just remarkable.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #38761d;">So what's the price?</span></h4>
<div>
You're looking at right around $35 from Amazon for just the light. If you know anything about video lighting that is literally almost completely unbelievable. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you would like to purchase one of these for yourself there's a direct link below the video. </div>

<b style="color: #38761d;"><br /></b></h2>
<h2>
<b style="color: #38761d;">Do you like getting your money's worth</b><span style="color: #38761d;">?</span> </h2>
<br />
If you're like me, you are all about getting the best value for your buck.<br />
<br />
I had previously bought a Jobe Mini Gorilla Pod that turned out to be useless.<br />
<br />
In this video, we will be unboxing and taking a look at the Arkon Tripod with Mobile Grip for your mobile phone.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Uses I have found</b>?</span><br />
<br />
Everything from sitting on my desk while I'm working, like right this very moment, to putting it on my bathroom towel rod where I play music and can easily reach out and change the song while showering, laying in bed watching Netflix or YouTube videos. This thing goes everywhere with me!<br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Conclusion</b>:</span><br />
For just around $20 this thing has changed my life!<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>If you would like to purchase one for yourself:</b></span><br />

I do a followup, and final word on all my videos in my scam alert series on my YouTube Channel, so, I was waiting for the right time to do the followup.<br />
<br />
The video just went over 100,000 views, and with over 700 comments and having Sean "Big Sexy McCorkle calling out Tai on Twitter a few days ago, I figured there was no time like the present.<br />
<br />
Be sure to give the video a thumbs up, and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel to be alerted when I upload new videos every week.<br />

<br />
Welcome to the unboxing video of my amazing new backpack. I literally saved around $100 off retail by winning this pack on ebay. I'm sure stoked to have it, and I will be very shortly climbing another mountain doing a winter ascent using this pack.<br />
<br />
I actually plan on snow camping overnight, so, I really should get an idea how well this pack performs.<br />
<br />

The 1064 summit was my very first and has really created a passion in me for hiking, climbing every decent sized mountain in Southern California. before I venture north to take on bigger, taller mountains, such as Mount Whitney, and possibly Shasta.<br />
<br />
This was my first mountain vlog, and it's lacking, but I really hope to make a few very interesting winter ascents mountain climbing vlogs. I have all the winter gear to winter camp overnight. The only thing missing is an ice axe which I will hopefully get by next week.<br />
<br />
I'm all signed up for the #SixPackofPeaks2017, so I will without a doubt hopefully be ascending some mountains in the very near future if all goes well.<br />
<br />
I have to apologize as this vlog is lacking as I started having some major camera issues at about 9K feet, so, I am not sure if it was the altitude making my camera sick or exactly what it was, but I had a battery meter showing 40% battery, but my video camera literally just died about 30min before I reached the actual summit of Baldy. <br />
<br />
Luckily I was able to get some still shots which literally saved the day.<br />
<br />
Since signing up for the SixPackofPeaks2017, it's a given that I will actually be doing Baldy again this year, and I am planning a snow ascent hopefully here in the next month or so. Should be interesting. So, stay tuned!<br />

It's literally been 10 months since I released my notorious Tai Lopez video, from my SCAM ALERT SERIES on my YouTube channel. <a href="http://youtube.com/ravholly">View Channel - Click Here</a><br />
<br />
Pushing 100,000 views, and over 700 comments to date it is without a doubt the most successful YouTube video I have produced. In my opinion far from the best, but everything Tai Lopez is resourceful.<br />
<br />
It's definitely been an interesting ride, keeping up with the comments. Which brings me to the point I will be adding a follow up video very soon.<br />
<br />
So, if you haven't seen the original....knock yourself out, and be sure to comment, and subscribe!<br />

<br /></div>
Hello Beautiful People,<br />
<br />
This is actually a continuation of my Kelso Dunes Vlog.<br />
<br />
I actually shot this the exact same day after leaving Kelso Dunes headed back home to Joshua Tree.<br />
<br />
There was just so much footage that I had to split it up, so not to have an hour long vlog.<br />
<br />
The Deserted Desert town of Amboy, Ca. is literally on the way so I decided to make a quick stop in, and give you guys a look around. This little desert destination has been the location for a couple music videos, and even a movie or two that were filmed out in this little Mojave Desert Ghost Town.<br />
<br />
On the way home I also made a quick stop out at Amboy Crater and am looking for feedback if you guys think it might be worth it for me to go back, and make a #hikeitout vlog out of it.<br />
<br />
Hope you guys enjoy the vlog.<br />
<br />
Remember your feedback --good, or bad is very much appreciated. So, feel free to comment, and let me know what you think.<br />
<br />
Also, don't forget to give the video a thumbs up, if you like the video...and...don't forget to subscribe.<br />
<br />
Thanks for watching guys! I truly appreciate it!!<br />

<br />
I just wanted to take a moment, drop a note, and thank everyone who sent me text messages, phone calls, and reached out to me in September of last year when Charlie my dog was killed.<br />
<br />
Losing that little dog was so much harder on me than I ever could have imagined. Even though it's been four months I still miss him like, crazy, and think of him on a daily basis. I'm usually very good at not getting too emotionally attached to anyone or anything, so, it really shocked me how hard that loss hit me.<br />
<br />
My entire goal for last year as some of you know was just to go hard, and see what I could accomplish on my YouTube channel. I got a little obsessed with it actually seeing what strides I could actually make in a year. Goal one, was just to learn the in's, and outs of how YouTube actually works, and discover, and learn as much as possible to hopefully take my YouTube channel to the next level.<br />
<br />
Goal 2, with YouTube was to have 100 videos uploaded by years end....I was moving right along, and had my goal well within site, when low, and behold September 14th, 2016 rolled around, and I got the phone call from Charlie's pet sitter saying he was dead. It really just kinda put a halt to things for me. I really didn't have any desire to keep producing YouTube videos at that time. Even though I would film vlogs still I never would take the time to edit them, and upload them.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I fell short of my goal and only got to 90 uploaded videos in all for the year.<br />
<br />
Considering what happened I am still very happy with that. I LOVE reaching goals, but it's the putting in work that actually makes me feel just as accomplished.<br />
<br />
I started the year of 2016 with a little over 200 subscribers. I ended 2016 with just a little over 3000, and though that's nothing to brag about in the YouTuberverse it's growth which was my real goal for the year. I have learned the in's and out's of YouTube and understand the system now very well.<br />
<br />
Here is a cool little year in review from TubeBuddy if you would like to check it out.<br />
<a href="https://www.tubebuddy.com/yearinreview/channel/UC4f_892EWjMW-QQE4z-IaXQ" target="_blank">Rav Holly - 2016 YouTube Year in review</a><br />
<br />
So, for 2017 my goal is all about value on content production. That's where my channels still very much lacking. Putting it together, and making really interesting content people actually will sit, and watch is my obsession.<br />
<br />
I rate my videos at about a 4/5, on a scale from 1 to 10. So, I know and understand to have a truly successful YouTube channel and to be a successful YouTuber I need to get my production value up, and on point. That means doing the work now to make really enticing interesting videos. That's the thing that still truly escapes me, story-line is the hardest part for me, and I acknowledge this. It's a puzzle that I am enjoying figuring out.<br />
<br />
I do this because it's a hobby for me, it's fun for me. It's a learning experience that is truly fun, but the key is being successful in some aspect of it, and I am not sure I'll ever reach that goal, but I'm having fun trying.<br />
<br />
My channel is all over the place, and so many other YouTubers have given me advice on finding my niche, and sticking with it. Most point to the fact I have so many years of Photography knowledge to share that my channel should focus solely on Photography, photography tutorials and such.<br />
<br />
The problem with that is I have been doing Photography as a means of income, and a job for so long it's literally the last thing I want to focus on with my YouTube channel. So, I have been struggling with a concept struggling with a direction to focus my content. So, I'm still winging it until hopefully, I can stumble onto a niche that truly works for me. Hiking/Mountain Climbing/Mountaineering has become a new passion of mine so I'm hoping I can produce some fun videos pertaining to that subject that might be fun to watch. #HikeItOut<br />
<br />
Until then I want to thank the ones of you who have stuck with me, and watch my videos as they are.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping 2017 will be a year of really moving forward in storyline development and upping my video production value.<br />
<br />
I have somewhere along the lines of ten videos I shot last year, that I never got uploaded so I am now in the process of actually going through, and editing these videos, and uploading them to my YouTube channel. Once that's done I'll be concentrating on new videos for this year, shot this year. Until then here is my first new YouTube video of the year, shot in October of last year. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave feedback in the comments. It's actually VERY much appreciated.<br />
