Alright, let's go!
To some people, traveling alone in wide open spaces for months at a time might seem lonely. But not to me. I got friends everywhere!
not people, but awesome wild animals. I love their company, and they love my cereal flakes
They're always getting into trouble and many of them
Just don't seem to understand the concept of speeding cars
So I rescue them and I try to teach them to stay off the roads.
Some of them seem to enjoy our brief quality hang. Others, not so much.
Crowded big-City life can sometimes be overwhelming.
So when I found this ornate box turtle trying to commit suicyde
On the interstate, I decided to take her into the country and hopes to rekindle her flair for life. Check it out...
We call this traffic, and it goes on and on and on just like this.
It's really not that bad. You just got to rewire the way you think about it. See for example. Think about those
Wide-open spaces in Wyoming
No wait, don't do that. it makes it worse.
There's good things about traffic. Uh, for example... We can't get a speeding ticket right now and
It's a good place to start a diet. See all these Americans? They forgot to bring their potato chips
And they're all losing weight. most of them anyway.
Problem with that though is a lot of them can't wait to end their diet
So they're and in a hurry to get home and that makes them drive like a jerk sometimes
After a beautiful afternoon of animal watching our little box turtle went charging into her new Wilderness life with a belly full of pineapple.
Our next wild animal friendship was made in a trash can rescue. Hey friend!
We're gonna have to get you out here. You're not looking so hot. We'll figure out a way...
It looks like he gnawed his way in
through here. Got all sorts of yummy goodies, but now he can't get out. And so, let's forgot a way to
Get the raccoon out of the trash can.
You only need three things to rescue a raccoon from a big trashcan. A raccoon. A big trash can and a big stick
Fascinating wild animals are always sitting in the road
And I take advantage of the opportunity to admire them and then escort them out of harm's way
check out this crawling pancake! That is a
Softshell Turtle. Look at those webbed feet. This guy's made
for slicing through the water. ahhhh!
Show them how long your neck is
He can stick out a lot further than that
This is a spiny softshell. See he's got these little spines
Can't believe I caught a softshell turtle crossing the road. alright Let's go
This fat tiger salamander practically passed out on the highway after gorging himself on insects brought by recent rains.
If You handle a tiger salamander, don't make the same mistake
I did once and rub your eyes. Rinse your hands afterward and you'll spare yourself a lot of pain
Check it out.
Central Plains
milk Snake. lampropeltis
triangulum gentiles. Saw em Crossing the Road
And I thought it was just another long-nosed snake and got out to just kick it off OWE!
You're gonna bite me all of a sudden? My ex-girlfriend bites harder than that. Let's go take some pictures ready, sweetheart?
what's up with june bugs? Where the hell are they all getting so drunk at?
Remind me my friends. "This place sucks. Hey ladies Wanna --oops"
Excuse me, excuse me, pardon me...
Hey, Taco truck! Whoops! Break Dancing!!! ahahaha!
Help me up... I I'm serious. Help me up. What are you looking at?

shoes.
Excuse me? I'm not drunk Ocipher. haha
I can crawl in a Straight Line
I'm not... I'm not feelin
I'm tired
Where's my car keys?
I See you back there.
everyone loves cereal and
Canadian geese are no exception. When the catfish caught wind we were having oatmeal squares, they came and crashed the party.
I'm starting to hypothesize that it might have been oatmeal squares that jump-started evolution by enticing fish to crawl up on land
one Colorado evening
I parked on the side of the road to take photos of the peculiar turkey family.
Usually wild turkeys bolt at the sight of people...
But this Tom, his three hens and dozen chicks kept hanging around in the road staring at me
They seemed confused and I was worried for their safety
There was a tall game fence running the length of the Road
And I eventually realized I was blocking the one entrance through it. After ] moved my car, the family bolted through the gate
I was parked in front of and vanished into the wilderness.
Dogs become more human every year, but make no mistake, There's still a wolf in there somewhere.
check out this mama wiener dog taking a bird home to her puppies. What you got there?
Digja get a bird?
Animals all have different personalities and getting to know the individuals can really make goodbyes tough
You want some food, huh?
Not you you already ate. Come on you already ate
Come on. Hey alright fine.
you hog.
this is for you. There you go get it. Go! Get it... Nope...
nope nope nope... You gotta get it.
Oh I Love the horse smell... I gotta go.
I Gotta Go...
I gotta Go!
Bye friends, I gotta go I gotta go storm Chase...
I Gotta go! Quit looking at me like that.
Look at this. in a wild!
Wild snake
We just found and look at this. You're just a sweetheart. Cause know I'm not Gonna hurt you?
Look at that
Why are people afraid of snakes? I don't get it. They're so cool
We just found this guy
Crossing the road. This is bogertophis Suboculoris, and what do you say we?
Takes pictures? Yeah dude.
look at that little nipper.
After a lifetime of chatting with wild snakes, I've learned how to sweet-talk them out of defensive biting.
most of them anyway
Only once in a blue moon do I come across one that's immune to my charms
Oh little friend... Your just a little tarantula.
I've always thought it was strange that the animals deemed the creepiest are often the most friendly and tolerable to being handled
Try doing this with a wild furry bunny rabbit or this with an adorable wild raccoon.
You people that are afraid of spiders scorpions snakes and Whatnot don't know the sweetness you're missing.
I suppose it makes complete logical sense that some people have a terrible fear of something that has the potential to keel them right?
I mean check out. How many humans die each year from...
Scorpions....
Snakes
spiders
cows
dogs
Or cars and motorcycles...
Better keep an eye on your car to make sure your neighbor isn't chopping it up with this shovel. Awesome western Diamondback, rattlesnake!
Even though it's extremely unlikely that you'll dye in the U.S. from snake animation. You should never try this at home.
Wait until you're in the middle of nowhere... far far away from medical attention
Ahhhh....
This is so wonderful. I wish you guys were here with me right now to experience nature.
You guys need to get out more, and I'm trying to encourage you to get out into nature and be with the animals
animals... love... Humans... sometime as you can see and
it's so wonderful to be out here with the wildlife and the peace and
to just soak up the
serenity
