As Amtrekker Rounsaville has spent the last year living out of a backpack, sleeping on couches and park benches, and capturing on video his efforts to complete a list of 50 cool things like hang gliding, riding an ostrich and creating a crop circle. His list is nearly finished and you can watch him catch a firefly, see a freak show or hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on his site Amtrekker.com. He shoots, edits and uploads the videos all from a small backpack. In the New Media Minute, youll learn how hes pulled off the editing, posting and community-building for his Web series while living the nomads life.
