    S5 E2. Dinosaur Valley State Park & Ignik Firecan

    Take a trip to Dinosaur valley state park, and learn a little more about the best way to not burn down your campsite.  The Ignik Firecan.  I took a three day camping trip and made it to a handful of different state parks on my way home that included Meridian State Park, Cleburne State Park and Dino Valley State Park.   While I was just at Dino Valley for the day I was able to get in some great sights, stick my feet in the water, and even see dinosaur tracks! --- Texas was really dry this summer so a lot of parks around the state had burn bans in effect.   Ignik sent me their Firecan for review, and I found it's a wonderful alternative to natural fires.  They even make great things to have in the cold months as well.  ▬▬▬▬▬ Misc ▬▬▬▬▬ 🎧  Do you like the music in this video?  The tracks are from Epidemic Sound.
