Pilot Episode
Russia
Almost arrested in Moscow — one of the earliest dart adventures.
The dart landed on Russia. Almost arrested in Moscow — one of the earliest dart adventures.
This is one of the original Travel by Dart pilots, filmed long before the show reached Amazon Prime Video, airlines and networks around the world. I arrived with almost no budget, a camera, and a plan that fell apart the moment I hit Moscow — which, honestly, is when the best stories tend to begin.
This is a short note while I write the full account. Press play above to watch one of the earliest chapters of the journey, and see where the whole Travel by Dart idea started to take shape.
Russia: traveler questions
Is this an early Travel by Dart episode?＋
Yes — Russia is one of the pilot adventures from the very beginning of the series, long before the show reached Amazon Prime and airlines worldwide. It's rougher and more raw than the later seasons, and that's exactly why I love it.
Where does the Russia episode take me?＋
It starts in Moscow, where things went sideways almost immediately, and follows the dart from there. Watch the episode above for the full story of how one of my earliest throws unfolded.
Why keep the old pilot episodes online?＋
Because they show where it all started. The pilots are the honest, low-budget roots of Travel by Dart, and I think they're a fun contrast to the cinematic seasons the show became.
