im From Gloucester i actually live about 5 minutes away from Stage Fort Park. i just wanted to say thank you for recording this cause im currently serving Active Duty in the Military and i havent been home for 9 Months and watching this made me feel like i was back home.
mike grella we miss you mike , rest in paradise buddy
mike grella same my dude. Been away from glostah for 2 years now. Missing home. Saw your familiar name on this video and about shit myself, khed. 😂 small world
Hope alls good fella,respect!🇺🇸🇬🇧
@@robsmustang4787 I'm sorry to hear :(
Thank you Mike SO very much for your service!!
Your drone footage is getting really good.
Hope you make it to Navarre, Fl.
Good luck!
A "bad" day on the road is still better than most good days stuck at home.
Eric, sorry you had such a bad day. I love your positive attitude. The views of Gloucester were beautiful. Thanks again for taking us along.
The bad days make the good days all the more satisfying.
Thanks for the video of such beautiful scenery but so sorry for all the other stuff.
Sandra Jones beautiful scenery, ugly fkn people.
This is probably one of your best vlogs to-date! The drone footage was totally on-point. Good work, Eric!
I am not surprised the amount of people who love to kick you when you are down. times are changing . THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. Good to see you stay positive.
Your drone footage is really nice man!!!! Also I enjoyed the longer video. It's really nice to get to watch for a longer time. I soak it all up like a sponge
Erick, this is still a great video. I never miss your uploads. Great work.
How is anybody supposed to know?!?!? Hey, city of Gloucester! How about spending a little money on some "No overnight parking" signs! :/
Signs are ugly. In historic towns they try to eliminate them to keep the quaintness.
Touristy historic towns are infamous for eliminating any form of squatting.
I guess you're supposed to look up the antiquated municipal codes of every town and city you visit.
I agree Mark, there should definitely be signs. It's been a municipal code in Gloucester since 1970, apparently. No parking for RV's (even if unoccupied) between 12:00am and 6:00am on any street in the city, except in an approved trailer park.
In today's world, this sure prevents some tourism dollars coming to your city, Gloucester. Time to change that outdated statute...
Dr. GC Anderson There is a lot more tourism dollars from people that stay in hotels and rv parks as the municipalities collect lodging taxes. Most people who urban boondock don't spend much money if any at all. Someone staying at a hotel is going to dine out and shop at stores.
Eric exclusively shops at walmart and will buy the occasional magnet. Not much tourism dollars flowing from that.
pk13910, But not many visitors have the power to bring thousands of eyes to their community. How many of his viewers might have gone there? We'll never know.
pk13910 The money I save not paying for hotels and parks allow me to spend more money exploring tourist towns. Your comment tells me that you think boondockers are a bunch of free loading bums. f * * k you.
wow!! absolutely beautiful!! I'm glad you're alright!! thanks for sharing!! loved it!!
Always enjoy your videos, thanks
eric, we don't mind when you're camera isn't stabilized. do your best. it's all good.
Gloucester is a lovely place and based on your initial comments I would plan to visit. However, I won't visit any place that is unfriendly to RV'ers. So, Gloucester, you lost my tourist dollars. When I visit the east coast in 2018 in my RV you lose. Good video, by the way, Eric. Thanks. Hope your back gets better.
I love your ability to overcome all circumstances. I wish everyone had this viewpoint. The world would be a better place. You are always cheerful and pleasant. Thanks for all that you do sir.
love that- can do smile. thank you good morning and have a good one
Hello Eric & Jax. Awesome Videos as always. Thank you for Sharing.
Hope you ok as well😬
Eric--I like how you show a cross section of life--successes, failures, joyfulness, sadness, frustration. A lot of people purposely edit their videos to *look* perfect and to give the impression that they're not subject to the human condition. It opens you up to criticism from a bunch of keyboard warriors, but it's definitely more genuine.
very well said - and exactly why I am glad to have found this fellow's channel He is genuine and respectable.
Thank you Eric for sharing the bad days with the good... wishing you a speedy recovery... despite all the problems, the drone footage from Gloucester was fantastic!
Your old equipment helped bring you to where you are today so having to use them again isn't a big deal, not to me anyway. Make do with what you have and be glad you had it to fall back on. Speaking of falling, I've taken many falls on my tailbone and broken it several times. I have a lot of nerve damage in my lower back and hips now, BE CAREFUL!!! Use ice on and off for 20 minutes or heating pad...... Take it easy and carefully in your recovery. God Bless you and Jax in your journey.
The action and suspense never ends .... hope you recover from that fall quickly .... great footage. Thank you :)
Thank you Eric, I hope you recover from your fall.
Beautiful part of the country, thanks for video. Sorry about your fall, hope soreness goes away.
Loved the footage of the bay and beach. Thanks for all the effort (plus bumps and bruises) you put into these videos.
The sunset drone footage was amazing!
So glad you are ok. Your video still turned out great. Really looking foward to your Salem trip. So much history there. Your so right, when it rains it pours. Doesn't matter what kind of life you live. Things happen.
I appreciate being able to learn with you. I love learning from your "mistakes." Sharing is a holy, loving gesture...the RV/vandweller/nomad community on TH-cam is positive, caring, and inspirational!
Thanks Eric. You have come a long way. Dont ever give up!
Hi Eric, her in Holland (europe 😏) we say: "niet bij de pakken neer zitten" that means, bad Luck happens, it sucks, but don,t let your spirit down! I am with you sinds episode one, and still enjoy en look forward to every new episode with you and Jax!
I learn a lot About RV living, and the USA in general, for i have never been to the US, but want to!
Cheary up (new Engeland) Eric!
keep you head up.... we love you and you are a wonderful insperation!!!!..... keep the videos coming!!!!!
Great attitude, man. I'd be hurling myself about. Beautiful place so thank for letting me enjoy it through your video. Looking forward to seeing the rest of what you have planned for this trip.
Hi Eric & Jax. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, so sorry to see your troubles, but I am sure you have so many who care and are willing to help! I was so happy to see you continue with your video. I love Gloucester, I been Whale Watching there more times than I can count over the years, but always stayed in a hotel. So, this is really good information for me because I was going to take my granddaughter there next August for a Whale Watch in our new RV (because of watching you I was inspired and bought one) but now I may want to rethink staying in Gloucester!!
Great work splicing the drone footage with the time lapse and handheld footage, really showed off how nice that place was. Too bad they aren't that RV friendly. Still nice video work!
Eric you are so talented. Thanks for SHARING
What a great video! So sorry about your fall. I hope you are ok. That's such a pretty town and park -- right by the sea. And your drone footage is awesome! I can't believe you can't park overnight in their town, and they don't even have any signs stating that. You'd think they'd at least allow you to spend one night, so you don't have to drive when it's dark and you're tired. Many driver's handbooks tell people NOT to drive under those conditions because it can cause accidents. This town is actually setting themselves up for a lawsuit if someone gets in a bad accident because they weren't allowed to stay there at night. Anyway, so glad you are doing better, and I think you have a great attitude!
The water really looks sparkly there. This seems like a good time to visit the tourist-y places and still have decent weather but have them mostly to yourself.
Good to see you taking every set back in a positive way.
The beginning of this video was very special to me as I am from Dorset (like a miniature state) England and 7 previous generations of my family were fishermen
Well the fall and damage to you & equipment stinks! sorry hope you feel better. Im sure you'll get the video end worked out, you always do. Glouster is a beautiful place. Too bad they are zoned as a "day park". We're finding too that there are many places in New England in particular and Florida too that are not RV friendly. Thats o.k. we'll just take us, our RV and our money elsewhere.
I feel sad about how carefully you choose your words and explain "Im not e begging" because of trolls and haters. It was a normal part of this episode for you to explain the damage to your equipment and your injuries. I feel the hate serves to stifle you somewhat. You don't need to do that for us. There are more faithful supportive viewers who enjoy your content without judging. The others shouldn't be given the energy. We're currently in Massachusetts message us here or on FB if you'd like to connect. Toby says Hi Jax! Happy Trails!
Drone footage was beautiful..
Every thing happens for a reason, all of this made for a very real video and that is truth that can't be faulted. Shit happens and we learn to deal with it and move on, this is life.
So this, once again, an exceellent video keeping it real.Safe travels and hope the back gets better soon.
I agree, life happens, in spite of the little things that happen, you still put together a fantastic video for us. Thank you Eric and Jax. What's Jax up to these days?
Be safe, lock those doors.
OMG Eric the TROLLS will be having a field day on this one. Buckle down and hold your temper bro. Keep the videos coming. 86,000 + looking forward to them.
Thank you for sharing your travel with us. Interesting and educational.
Glad everything is ok love yor videos,
Someone needs to put together a travel guide for RV'ers that list all cities and towns that dont alllow overnight parking. And if they do maybe list the code and or law for or against it. That way if an overzealous police officer tries to run you off you could always quote them the law for their jurisdiction.
I can relate to the "when it rains it pours" kinda day..., I had one myself a couple of days ago! As far of having to leave in the middle of the night... they don't have any idea how much positive free publicity their little town just lost out on by making you leave in the middle of the night! Lol.there is probably something really cool down the road that you would have missed had you stayed in that town any longer. Better things are waiting for you Eric! As always love following your travels.
Your video footage is just SO beautiful. Kudos to you for sharing the fall with us. That's brave, opening yourself up like that. I hope that you're recuperating well and that it's nothing long term. Loved the drone footage. Gloucester looks like a really nice place to visit for a couple of days. Good to know about the no parking overnight laws. Thank you, Eric!
Eric, you have such a positive attitude. Thanks for sharing.
you still make amazing footage even with all of the bad stuff that happened to your cameras. i love to watch your videos!
Great video despite all of your problems, Eric. Hang in there.
Some amazing photography from Gloucester. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for the visit to the awesome park and thank you for taking us with you.
Thank you for seeing the real America!!!
Wow.. Beautiful footage👍 thanks for sharing. Sorry about your fall. Hope you were ok🙋
You should look up the saltwater fishing laws, in many states you can fish in the ocean without a license or for a very low fee, looks like Mass is 10 bucks.
Mass is a VERY restrictive state.
Gloucester law
Sec. 22-149. - Trailer coaches prohibited between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m.; exception.
The parking of trailer coaches between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. shall be prohibited on any street in the city, except in an approved trailer coach park
You know, a website or app that shows all the various parking restricted areas for RVs could be a winner... A PIA to build and somewhat maintain but it could be useful.
FYI ---> If you go to Gloucester, Massachusetts again: Overnight parking is allowed from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. daily in all loading zones designated in this section.
Gloucester, Massachusetts Code of Ordinances --> Chapter 22 - TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLES

San Bruno Beacon
Read on, the following restriction is there. Language obviously old, who uses the words "trailer coach" or "trailer coach park" anymore lol? Ir's a pretty clear all-RV restriction, at least that's how it's being applied.
Sec. 22-149. - Trailer coaches prohibited between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m.; exception.
The parking of trailer coaches between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. shall be prohibited on any street in the city, except in an approved trailer coach park.
The "retro look" was just fine. Dont stress and stay your usual happy cheerful self.
Really love "traveling" along with you. . .And I have to say, you didn't mention it, but I just LOVE the baseball field right next to the bay. . .What a cool spot to play a game. . .They had a backstop, an outfield fence and two landmarks to try to hit with a long ball, the "Big Rock" in left field and the "Tree" in right field. . .I'd really like to play a game on that diamond! Thanks again for your vids. . .They are always interesting!
Great vlog! I love the drone pics over the water! So beautiful and peaceful! :-)
So sorry you hurt yourself, buddy. Be safe. Kisses to Jax!! I love the way he talks!! Lol
Oh gracious Eric! Be so careful! Your videos are so good - take care of yourself - I would miss your videos - so glad you are "ok" but oh my goodness - you take care! you are out there alone - that really scared me! Just be careful :)
love the done shots
Jax's muffled meows are so adorable!! :D
Lots of tough breaks here; but a great video!
Head down arse up Eric don't worry about it, keep up the good work.
Your welcome here in the Big Apple!!
Glad you're OK after the fall. Sorry about the cops moving you along. I don't think Gloucester will be on my route if/when I make it to the east coast. I'd rather spend my time/money in areas that would welcome me and my RV. Thanks for the heads up!
Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration. Your videos and channel is awesome
Ah! This is driving me crazy! I live in Newton, MA (mere minutes outside Boston) and have been too pretty much every location you have been to in your videos. The park you are at in the beginning of this one has always been one of my favorites ever since I was younger. If you ever get the chance again, I recommend you stay at the Good Harbour Inn (which too is in Gloucester), it is my favorite place on the entire Eastern coast. Made a lot of memories there.
Anyway, keep it up man. Glad to see some New England exploration here on TH-cam finally :D
Hay Eric! Thank-you for keeping it raw and real........
gorgeous video, photography and music. just starting to watch your work.
Always enjoy watching your videos :) keep up the good work.
The cops overkilled that one. John Adams is rolling over in his grave due to this injustice.
Eric I look forward to all your videos as I travel through your lenses ...thanks and be careful out there u big dummy
Sorry to hear about your camera, its equipment and your stay in Gloucester. Love you positive outlook. You got this bro.
Well that was a expensive crappy day. I hope today is a better day for you.
Love cape Ann been vacationing there since I was 4 yrs old
Way to think positive! Good job keeping up your spirits!
Hi Eric . I just CKed the parking codes on Gloucester website !! The cop couldn't give you any information about the code or law about the overnight parking with RVs because their is not one . Well that's the same reason way I never went back myself !! To bad anyone would have to experience that . Think the Mayor should CK out your channel . Take care and keep your head up !
I'm sorry about your go pro, but I'm glad that you weren't hurt.
This actually brings up a good topic. How do you prepare for accidents on the road? Medical coverage, etc... I know when I had my travel trailer and motor home both, I carried an accident policy that covered if I got hurt while out away from home. I have had several extended stay patients as well that had wrecks and falls while visiting our area even though they were thousands of miles from home.
I certainly don't have a plan or worry about potentials such as this. And I should know better...
mighy check with your rv insurance. mine covered ER visits and replaced my weekly salary up to a years salary.
TRUCKER PRO TIP!! Since what you do isn't much different than the life of an OTR Driver.
Have your family member that holds your Power Of Attorney go to your family doctor and get "ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS" along with your Doctor's emergency contact info. Have them save them as a PDF file and get them to you.
Keep them on a dedicated flash drive. Any Doctor or ER will be able to read them. Then anything you have done on the road request records on paper at the time of service. If they are unable to provide it at the time request they send both you and your doctor copies. Both your doctor and you update your master file(s) as soon as practical.
IF YOU ARE ON MEDS OR HAVE ALLERGIES TO CERTAIN THINGS IT COULD BE A LIFE SAVER FOR YOU!!
What a shame, you tour, videos and review of their city coming IMO brought great value to their tourism, economic and potential growth to the city far more than what a commercial tourist/chamber of commerce production could provide. Sadly, the city officials don't see the true value in tourist like yourself to restrict you from staying. Even if self contained in a RV, a tourist normally still spends some money within a city while staying overnight. Outdated ordinances and outdated thinking. Love your presentation as always, thanks for sharing.
How do people go about changing those ordinances that are outdated?
I really wish they make this clear, do we all have to purchase private property then we have legal rights? Is all public land banned and what reasons are they providing for this?
I think this is the perfect example of human rights, at the front line. Potentially thousands of people can watch this and what can be done about it?
Ignore the sniveling commenters . I have had days like you had and they suck . Looks like you did get lucky on the weather though , beautiful coast area . Hope your weather luck holds out .
Sorry to hear about the bad day. Hope you feel better soon.
The worst thing plaguing your channel are the bored trolls who post ridiculous and annoying comments. It's like they went to the troll school for special people who can't get along. Sorry they're singling you out for their misguided rage.
Erik Blair, Brother, you just PREACHED! AMEN! .....(there is a LOT of misguided rage these Days. Folks accuse you of IMPLYING a particular notion, when in fact, they are INFERRING that you put something out there that you did not!)
I am from the future, this is getting more common, sadly.
Eric it is the snowball effect you roll downhill it just gets bigger and harder to stop keep posting and stay safe
You are inspirational. Love the videos!
Looks like a beautiful day followed by an unfortunate night. I've been there, buddy. Great way to not let that negative energy continue.
That place looked really interesting. Would be cool to be in a place where some of the first European settlers came to America. Thanks for sharing.
When it rains it pours. Hope you get things back to normal soon. I will still be watching even through the ups and downs. I never had a desire to go to Gloucester and now I know another reason not to go. I saw some of the things they had to offer and that will do me.
Haven't peeped your channel for a while, glad I did. you seem sooo genuinely happy, and light and airy. Glad for you. Congrats on your success, wow 88k, nice!
Hope you got it all figured out Eric..... All my best to you and Jax..
ok, just saw you pull out your cell phone.........glad you carry it with you at all times!! :)
you've done very well, i,my happy to be entertained by your adventure, thank you
thank you for taking us along. it is my dream to travel throughout the United States especially during retirement in 10 years. however I would be so scared to fly the drone over the water. I commend you. you are brave. thank you for the videos God Bless.
Ouch on the nasty fall! Hope by this time your back is feeling better. Those drone shots are great. Safe travels to you & Jax.
You take me places I'll never be able to see for myself. Well done!
Beautiful Eric!
You've become just so dear to me.Even with all that rotten luck you put a positive turn on it.
We just discovered you and joined your journey! Excited to see more! Thanks for sharing your travels! We are getting prepared to hit the road soon ourselves and heading for warmer weather this winter!
