We hit a new mile stone! After being on The Travel Channel for only 4 weeks, we have sold enough products via our commercials to statistically qualify for having over a MILLION viewers of our show!! Whot Whot! Not bad for a little Indy project that airs between 2am and 6 am in the morning. Starting to line up firm commercials and new sponsors too! It’s starting to get interesting!

It is a very, very rare occasion to capture the actual mating practice in the field. Very shy in nature yet with a big bite, these creatures still baffle builders and wilderness enthusiasts across the globe. Here we see a mature pair mating from a project we did in Juneau Alaska. Parental Advisory!
