My Dusty Reins Stories channel is evolving a bit and so are some of my goals in 2024 to create and share more documentaries from the American Heartlands

This is a landing page for all things old and new about the channel and it is a work in progress as I get more organized.

Current Status

I purchased a 2004 Dodge Dakota pickup and I am still looking for a 6x12 cargo trailer with duel axles and brakes to pull behind the truck. More about that later.

I just started working on Dusty Reins Travel Map. A map showing some of my video locations. 

I am still posting unrestricted videos recorded last year and videos specifically for channel members and American Heartlands Channel viewers only.

History

Logo

If you have been watching this channel since the beginning then you will recognize the original logo above! 

When I first started this channel as the Story Channel, I wanted to be an anonymous documentarian of current stories in the rural areas of the United States. A region west of the Mississippi River between the borders of Canada and Mexico that I have been referring to as the #AmericanHeartlands on various social media platforms. Use the same hashtag search on Facebook and Twitter to see different results on those platforms.

As a former paid Journalist in broadcast and print, I have the desire to document, not report, the things I encounter while exploring rural America. I believe Charles Kuralt had an influence on me but had no desire to appear on camera myself. I wanted the videos to feature the places and the people who live, work and play there tell their own stories.

The channel name was not unique enough to generate brand recognition so it was changed to Dusty Reins Stories because tens of thousands of people have already been exposed to the works of Dusty Reins via photography, video, and CaptiveImage.us

Some of my personal friends and viewers are telling me that need to start sharing my own traveling adventures and stories. I have already been testing out live streaming, shorts, and selfies so I guess I will try for more.

With your help informing me of places to go and things to do in the American Heartlands will look forward to visiting new territories! Contact Us 

I will be adding more when I find the time to get this story of my life more organized.

Stay tuned for updates! Current Status

Dusty Reins Schedule

You may see several events on the same day. I can only pick one to go next depending on where I was located during the prior event I attended. Fuel is expensive these days!
