Zachary Kenney

Hey everyone, my name is Zachary Kenney. I'm a full time engineer aspiring to be an adventure filmmaker/photographer. Like a lot of you, I took a corporate job after I graduated college, 8 to 5, and far from the mountains. Shortly after I got the job, I discovered mountains, and the rest.. well that's history. I found myself driving hours and hours every weekend to spend more and more time climbing, biking, making films, and shooting photos in the mountains. My obsession for creating videos started back in college on my old GoPro Hero2. It was then, I realized, that I had a passion for telling a story through videos to inspire people to get out and live a life to the fullest. Most of my videos now feature adventures during my traveling and outdoor activities.

I currently live in the epic state of Utah! Hope you enjoy the adventures!

    how do you find if the whole chain is rusty? in they all look the same

  • @ZacharyKenney8
    @ZacharyKenney813 күн бұрын

    If they all look like the same type of link, there is a chance your chain does not have a power link to remove the chain. You’ll have to get a chain tool to remove a link. Those tools will push out one of the pins from a link. Sorry, I don’t have a hack for that just yet.

    We hiked the west side last weekend too for the first time. Amazing views of the southern Presidentials, then when you get high enough the northern Presidentials are visible. Amazing. Then you see the old familiar Wildcat on the east side down below you, that I’m used to seeing from the Tuckerman Ravine trail. I love Mount Washington.

    I agree if you’re looking at it from that way. But if you are in need of a truck shell, that’s a huge part of it. For us it worked, we were camping 30-50 nights outside a year, so this made things so much easier. Definitely a waste if you’re only heading out a few nights a year.

  • @ZacharyKenney8
    @ZacharyKenney82 ай бұрын

    Sadly no. A lot of kids bikes and bikes from Walmart do not. You’ll need to get a chain link removal tool to do the job you’re looking for. Then add a new power link after you shorten it. It’s a simple tool, a lot of multi-bike-tools have them. But I haven’t found a solution to do that without that tool. Best of luck

    My husband and I are taking a anniversary trip at the end of April. He is certified, but unfortunately I am not. I have been on multiple dives, but it’s only within certain depth due to not being certified. What depths were these? I am also trying to figure out what Tahiti’s regulations are in every country. We scuba diving they have different rules as far as how deep un certified divers can go.

  • @ZacharyKenney8
    @ZacharyKenney83 ай бұрын

    The depths of these were around 40-60ft if I remember without checking my dive log. I think both of the dive operators checked our certification cards before we dove, so not sure if there are other options. Best of luck. Happy ANNIVERSARY!

    Don’t know if you’ve looked at other vids too, ik different vids show different things but what I’ve learned from vids and experience from shops is tune the edges before you wax, then use the crayoning method to apply the wax instead of the drip method, and something I noticed a lot of people don’t mention is taking off the bindings, taken them off will one save you from having to cover them or just being careful not to get wax on them, two it’ll give a more flat place to rest the board, and three the screws pull the board so you just get a more even coat

  • @ZacharyKenney8
    @ZacharyKenney84 ай бұрын

    We climbed it in July! September can be a great time to climb, usually pretty dry and still warm. Like any high alpine fun, you do run into separate risks. The later you go, the less likely there will be flowing water on the trail to refill (not the end of the world). But the worst thing that can happen is the early season snowfall. Leaves a snow up there too little for ice axes and crampons, but too much for comfortable climbing with just boots. Bit me on a trip in 2021.

    I couldn’t agree more, I was under the same impression… welcome to diving in Southeast Asia. They knew I didn’t have an advanced open water cert and they didn’t care. My wife (dive buddy) does, so at least there’s that. But yeah, I don’t want to say there wasn’t a big difference, but as long as you have a dive computer to ensure you’re safety stops are long enough, it was a normal dive for us.

    @@ZacharyKenney8 I see. Nitrogen narcosis affects different people differently at different depths, but it tends set in at 100 feet. Since it impairs your judgement kind of like being drunk and can even cause unconsciousness, it is very important to be aware of and trained for, as the deep diving specialty does. It is quite dangerous (for YOU!!, not them) that they allow a diver with only the basic open water cert to dive to even 90 feet, because the diver may not have the buoyancy control to avoid going just a bit deeper and getting narc’d. Or even with control, you may venture that bit deeper not knowing the risk and initial symptoms to be aware of. Glad you had fun and were ok. For all divers, DON’T TRUST THE LENIENCY OF DIVE SHOPS. It is up to you to know the limits of your training and experience. Check out the dry suit diver in Montana who died during training. She unfortunately had faith in an inexperienced training team.

    Two options: 1. to get our 60lb dog up into the tent, I would stand on the tailgate, have him jump up to meet me, then pick him up and put him in the tent. 2. Because the floor of the tent is modular, you could build "steps" inside the back of your truck allowing your dog to climb up them and through hole in the floor. We did this for a bit, but then he kept scratching our coolers with his nails, so admittedly it didn't last long.
