Mark Laymon’s Obsessions

Every chapter of my life begins with an obsession — something that pulls me in until I’ve built, tested, or lived it.
These are the ideas, experiments, and experiences that keep my story in motion.

Adventure Fuels Creativity.

When I’m not behind a screen or camera, I’m chasing storms, backroads, and moments of quiet in motion. These obsessions remind me that every path has purpose — if you’re brave enough to drive it.

Overland Adventurer

The Road Is the Destination.
I explore trails, national forests, and forgotten routes — seeking the beauty of places that don’t make the map.

Storm Chaser

In the Chaos, There’s Clarity.
I document how people prepare, survive, and rebuild — capturing the true rhythm of nature and human resilience.

Keys Dreamer

Salt, Sun, and Stillness.
My creative recharge lives in the Keys — the place that inspired my dream home and the balance between chaos and calm.

Road Storyteller

Every Road Has a Rhythm.
Through ASMR and cinematic driving videos, I turn motion into meditation — where time slows and sound becomes story.
