Of all the amazing things the Amtrekker has experienced in his journeys across America, his visit to Martin's shed may have been the most wondrous.

Brett Rounsaville, better known at Amtrekker, quit his job and set out with little more than a backpack full of technology and a list of fifty amazing, dangerous, and/or ridiculous things he's always wanted to do. And he's documented all his adventures on his terrific video podcast.

The journey is almost complete, and Brett stops by the shed to tell Martin about the best and worst parts of the journey and the time and location of the big ending party.

Highlights
Martin Sargent ( 0:21 ) scuba diving ( 11:09 ) Netflix ( 13:11 ) Cadillac ( 5:23 )
