Real Roads. Real Weather. Real Upper Michigan.
Dashcam drives, raw phone footage, and seasonal gear tested in the wild — from 90° summer backroads to -20° snow-packed highways.
All-Season U.P. Drives
From lake-effect whiteouts to fall color cruises, I document real-world driving across Upper Michigan — no studio, no script, just the road.
Raw. Real. Unfiltered.
Dashcam footage, tripod experiments, mailbox snowbank setups — if it captures the moment, it makes the cut.
Gear That Survives the U.P.
Winter traction tools. Summer road trip essentials. Cold-weather camera survival. I test and share what holds up in the U.P.
About This Project
This site started with a simple idea: hit record and see what happens.
Living in Upper Michigan means unpredictable weather, empty highways, deep snowbanks, and some of the most underrated scenery in the country. I film dashcam drives, roadside moments, and seasonal conditions as they actually happen.
No cinematic filters. No fake drama. Just real footage from real roads.
Along the way, I test gear that survives U.P. winters and summer road miles — and I share what’s worth buying (and what isn’t).
If you enjoy peaceful drives, extreme weather footage, or practical seasonal gear tips, you’re in the right place.

Drive With Me Year-Round
Upper Michigan doesn’t have an off-season — and neither does this channel.
New drives. New conditions. New gear tests.
From lake-effect whiteouts to quiet summer backroads, every mile tells a different story. Ride along as the landscape — and the challenge — changes with the calendar.
If you enjoy authentic road footage and seasonal survival tools, bookmark this site and check back often.
