The anonymous YouTube channel host almost always sports a black baseball cap embellished with the channel’s logo above his mask. The hat depicts a stylized orange and red emblem of a desert vista with the words “aventuras por el desierto,” meaning adventures through the desert.

Videos walked viewers through how much they would have to pay in smuggling fees and advice on how to cross without a guide or “coyote.”
