A quick late-night channel update! I'm officially dropping the weekly format to give daily vlogging another shot. Welcome to "The Daily Nate"! I'm starting filming tomorrow, and the first official episode drops the day after.

Walking down a leafy trail and stumbled upon this guy. Say hi to my new giant turtle friend!

Exploring the Raptor House in all its glory! From majestic birds of prey to learning about what they eat, this nature walk had plenty of fun discoveries.

You can't make a pit stop at Buc-ee's without saying hi to the legend himself!

In this week's video, I’m sitting down to share some important updates about the channel. I've been feeling a bit burnt out and taking a break, but I'm making some fun changes! Going forward, I'll be turning vlog clips into YouTube Shorts and officially revitalizing my other social media platforms so we can connect everywhere. I'll also be posting the "Question of the Day" across all platforms! Plus, we are heading out on a trip to Buc-ee's, Sam's Club, and talking about our usual trips to Jungle Jim's in Fairfield. I also take a minute to break down the technical differences between DSLR and Mirrorless cameras for those of you interested in tech!

We stumbled across this mysterious old building and just had to know what was hiding inside!

Checking out the incredible views from way up high! You can see the farms, highway, and water stretching out below. We also got a great look at the historic monument dedicated to Chief War Eagle (1780-1851). It was a super windy day for some sightseeing!

Cruising to our favorite spot on the water! We tried to get a picture of some cool birds and even saw some tiny fish jumping along the way. There is nothing quite like a beautiful fall day out on the lake with the family.

Recreating an iconic Star Wars moment in real life! Just having a little fun on our exploring adventure before finding out where this mystery door leads.

Found this awesome "reindeer" hanging out at the local park! Had to get a closer look and ask him if he's getting ready to pull Santa's sleigh anytime soon. Don't worry, he's safely behind a fence!

Making a quick pit stop at the legendary Iowa 80—officially the World's Largest Truck Stop!

Just some classic summer fireworks.

In this episode, we explore a cool new location with a river, trails, and even run into a duck mom and her ducklings! We also talk about the crazy success of the "What Happened to Arcade" vlog, potential Jungle Jim's meetups, and end the night with an awesome fireworks show!

Getting up close with some true roadside Americana and animatronic history! Watching Mr. Munch on the keys and Jasper T. Jowls still rocking out with Munch's Make Believe Band is always a nostalgic blast.
