Yo, Ryan! Your van escapades are legit my daily dose of chill - big ups for that! Today's journey, from catching Zs in a Walmart lot to soaking in Upstate New York's chill vibes, had me vibing. Buffalo wings in the great outdoors? Dang, that's some next-level move! I haven't thrown down in the kitchen with your recipes yet, but they're on my to-do list. That sweet and spicy sauce? Truffle parmesan fries? Sounds like a taste sensation! That waterfall spot? Straight outta 'A Quiet Place,' minus the monster drama - thankfully. Setting up Starlink in the wild? You're on another level. Living through your food adventures till I can whip them up myself. Keep those wheels turning and the flavor train rolling, dude! 🚐👨🍳
My neck of the woods where I grew up. It's so beautiful this time of year. Actually heading back up next week for my first Thanksgiving with family in 18 years. Glad you liked it.
You hit areas that I used to go to growing up. Thank you for showing off some of upstate NY I feel it’s beauty is often overlooked. Also I don’t think I’ve seen any vanlifers in the North East so it’s nice change of pace.
Ryan, huge fan from BUFFALO. Stumbled across one of your videos a few months ago and you quickly became my favorite TH-camr! Needless to say Ive seen all your videos now and look forward to your new uploads. Funny part is I dont really like the outdoors, just love your content. Wanted to say thanks! Keep it going strong!! #gobills
This has been my favorite episode yet of your adventures. The vibe at the lake and those wings just made it a phenomenal experience. I look forward to seeing where you head to next!
Thats my hometown! The cow farm you showed in 2:59 is Storys Farms, I used to go to that farmstand when I was a kid. I used to take lunch breaks at the top of the falls 15 years ago.
As someone who grew up outside of Buffalo and spent a summers up in Plattsburgh thank you for showing how beautiful the state is. I tell people all the time there is a drastic difference between NYC and New York State and both are incredible for pretty much opposite reasons but Upstate or Western NY seem to be overlooked frequently and it surprises people when they do see it
Glad to see we shared a overnight spot ! You’ve pushed me to go harder with my build after seeing this ! Thank you Ryan you have no idea the impact you’ve bought to me
You should go where ever your heart desires and we will enjoy the content you provide regardless. We watch because of you and your personality, the places and adventures are just a happy bonus
Hello from the Potsdam area! Hope you enjoyed the southern and western scenery! It’s great this time of year, highly recommend you head to the true Upstate to check out the Adirondack Park and 315!
Kaaterskill Falls, you should’ve carved your name on the stones on top of the waterfall, some on there go all the way back to early 1900s. I always travel to north/south lake during summer. Awesome mountains.
Definitely go back to upstate NY and explore more areas. As someone who lives downstate I feel like it doesn’t get the credit it deserves for being a beautiful, peaceful place, especially this time of year
I hang just on the other side of the Hudson from Kaaterskill. Such a beautiful area. So glad you got to enjoy it. There is much more to see and do in this area. Also, Great farm to market locations. Come back soon!
Great video! just one thing. you are in southern NY still! update is north of Saratoga Springs! Im from Plattsburgh, NY almost as far north as you can get!
I spent a lot of time camping in that area.Fawns Leap is another nice spot on the drive up to falls. The site of the hotel is now North South Lake Campground and the view of the valley from the bluffs is unbelievable.
Glad your bk, I was wondering about you last night, I actually came over to your channel see if you'd done any upload id missed , you stay safe, Prayers ❤
Awesome I'm not in new york right now but your in my home town. Graduated in Hunter. It's so beautiful up Palenville mountain. Always loved seeing the waterfall after a big rain 😁
I admit, as a native Vermonter, I was a little bummed at going from Maine to New York (I always loved going to Maine as a kid and went to college in CNY, so I'm not that mad at it, of course!)
Sorta looked like West Point. Yes NY is beautiful. Storm King is amazing and you were right near it. Also a lot of historical sites from the Revolution, Maybe that’s a future road trip - do all revolutionary sites on the east coast. If you weren’t born on the E Coast you don’t know about these treasures.
Ps if you want to try and make your own style of our wings alll the places get there wings from restaurant depot it’s a food warehouse where they sell to restaurants owners
There didn’t used to be steps down to the base of the falls just a really crappy trail…. It was fun! And I don’t remember a parking lot? I was there in the early 90’s
Try Ken's dressings there are really good growing up it was always hidden valley ranch but now I like the Ken's dressings and then hidden valley and the fries looked amazing.
I'm a new (week-ish) subscriber, and have been watching a bunch of your videos. I love how you show us that cooking in the van can be creative and yummy. I want to live vanlife when my husband retires in a few years. This would be very helpful to him as he loves to cooke
I really hope you decide to keep doing things that YOU want to do. We'll still be here watching! Also that waterfall looks super similar to Silver Falls, OR
Good to see u are near me brother I look forward to any future adventures u have in upstate its a beautiful land up here with the Adirondack mountains and stuff I hope u enjoy what we have here
Ranch???With Buffalo wings?? Nooooo....! Blue cheese, my friend! When I moved to Charleston rom NY and I dipped my wing I truly thought the server made a mistake! If you ever go back upstate NY, be sure to visit more of the Hudson Valley. New Paltz, Mohonk, Minniwaska, etc., my favorite memories are up there! I miss it, but I don't miss the winters!
I love making the foods that you make!! I love the cooking portion of your videos how you cook a meal in each place you go and try to keep it close to that state's local food.
Been following your journey for a while now and this video was in my back yard !! You have to come back and explore the Adirondacks. Our State Camp Sites are reasonable in price (you went by North and South Lake going up RT 23A. There was a great short walk from North Lake to where the Catskill Mountain House once stood. It over looks the whole Hudson Valley !!
I’ve seen u had blast time travel on route 23 W to 28A catskills to Haine Falls up the mountain. U should stay overnight at Whip-O-will campsites in Round Top near Cairo. Great place there. I’ve been camping there lot in the past. Enjoyed watch your video.
Another great video, I think we'll have to try this sauce! I think I've seen this spot before but haven't stayed there. It looks like Copper Lake outside of Woodstock NY to me.
Great video as always! A couple things though! Buffalo is WESTERN NEW YORK and wings are only supposed to be dipped in blue cheese!! 😃 Great content as always man! Go Bills!
This is the best campsite I’ve seen you be at so far! How freakin’ beautiful! Also, try a wet paper towel or kitchen towel underneath the cutting board to keep it from sliding. And, all these wings need is a beer to drink with! Do you ever drink at these sites? I would feel this would be the perfect scenario 😍
I mean I know you appreciate a good drink here and there, but I don’t see ya often enjoying a drink at these fun campsites! I bet the novelty wears off especially when you’re solo. Anyway, love your videos!
Out of curiosity would all Americans call these wings?! In Australia those are definitely called drumsticks. Wings are what the bird uses to fly with lol, what you’re eating is what the chicken walks with. Regardless they looked fantastic, great job on the sauces, delicious!
If you want to do a nice bleu cheese dressing you can just take out the two herbs and add some bleu cheese crumbles. I like some lemon juice too. Love your channel!
Being from Buffalo, wings is serious business. You got Franks which is proper. Those are chicken legs but that's fine you explained why you got those. But, ranch even despite that you made your own is absolute heresy for wings to us Buffalonians. Bleu Cheese all the way! Great video as always Ryan!
You should always do what you want to do and just bring us along. You shouldn’t change your life for anyone.
Straight facts
work is not what people want to do
If I wanted something diffrent I would go elsewhere I like his authentic self
YEAAAAH!!! Go and see what YOUUUU want to see and we’ll tag along -
We’d watch you doin pretty much anything lol,
:)
Facts and I bet the videos would come out even better just living his life . 🔥
My wife & I have binged watched all of your videos. We look forward to every upload. Thank you for giving us another thing to bond over!

Living through your food adventures till I can whip them up myself. Keep those wheels turning and the flavor train rolling, dude! 🚐👨🍳
I guess you'll use chicken legs, and call them wings too. I could never follow a recipe when a person doesn't know what kind of meat they're using.
My neck of the woods where I grew up. It's so beautiful this time of year. Actually heading back up next week for my first Thanksgiving with family in 18 years. Glad you liked it.
You hit areas that I used to go to growing up. Thank you for showing off some of upstate NY I feel it’s beauty is often overlooked. Also I don’t think I’ve seen any vanlifers in the North East so it’s nice change of pace.
Ryan you got to do blue cheese with the Buffalo wings! If you are ever in WNY let me know tons of great food spots up here.
Sunset park nyc, third avenue. Under the bqe perfect place to stealth camp
Ryan I saw those Zynbabwes at 8:43 , didnt see you as a cool mint Zyn guy lol

The shot with 3 of you walking left to right was super cool!
Literally my favorite TH-camr. Your uploads bring SO much joy to my day, I can’t wait to begin my van life journey!
Good luck with. It mate will be supporting you
As an upstate New Yorker, you gotta use blue cheese with your wings 😂 …sauce looked fire though 🔥
This has been my favorite episode yet of your adventures. The vibe at the lake and those wings just made it a phenomenal experience. I look forward to seeing where you head to next!

Your videos are part of my mental diet at this point and I absolutely love them dude ! Thanks for what you do ! ❤️
I enjoy the history or backstories of the city, town that comes along with your travels. Keep up the great content
Hello from the Potsdam area!
Hope you enjoyed the southern and western scenery! It’s great this time of year, highly recommend you head to the true Upstate to check out the Adirondack Park and 315!
You know it’s a good day when Ryan uploads! 😊
beautiful setting for your cooking with the calm lake in the background
Kaaterskill Falls, you should’ve carved your name on the stones on top of the waterfall, some on there go all the way back to early 1900s. I always travel to north/south lake during summer. Awesome mountains.
Definitely go back to upstate NY and explore more areas. As someone who lives downstate I feel like it doesn’t get the credit it deserves for being a beautiful, peaceful place, especially this time of year
lived in NYC for 7 years. New Yorkers think Maria Hernandez Park in Bushwick Brooklyn is a peaceful nature getaway 😂
Bro if you ever , want to try ice fishing !!! Come up to upstate , upstate .! Could do a catch & cook?
I hang just on the other side of the Hudson from Kaaterskill. Such a beautiful area. So glad you got to enjoy it. There is much more to see and do in this area. Also, Great farm to market locations. Come back soon!
Great Video Ryan. The Chicken, fries and buffalo sauce looked amazing.
Always great to see a new video from you. Much love from Baltimore Ryan

Glad your bk, I was wondering about you last night, I actually came over to your channel see if you'd done any upload id missed , you stay safe, Prayers ❤
You called them wings so many times I started thinking they were wings. Regardless, they looked delicious!
I was beginning to believe he didn't know the difference between legs and wings.
He doesn’t.
@@MichaelLynn-kk7polol 😂
@@MichaelLynn-kk7po Called them wings the whole time AND then called them tenders. 😂
smh @@chandlercampbell9146

You should totally travel to Gatlingburg Tennessee and visit the beautiful smoky mountains. It’s definitely worth the drive!!
Hey Ryan👋🏾 I just found your channel today and I've already started binge watching your videos👍🏾 Thanks for taking us along.
man i used to live in upstate NY and moved to Vegas about 17 years ago, this video gave me nostalgia, especially shopping at price chopper.
Sorta looked like West Point. Yes NY is beautiful. Storm King is amazing and you were right near it. Also a lot of historical sites from the Revolution, Maybe that’s a future road trip - do all revolutionary sites on the east coast.

I’m from Hudson NY and was literally just at kaaterskill falls this last weekend it’s crazy to see you there man. Safe travels
I visited Kaaterskill Falls this past weekend.. It really is beautiful. Big fan showing love from NYC!
Having a crap morning, this video is about to make my mood better. :D
You’d love the nature in western ny! Letchworth in the fall is a must!
Bro, for real, these are some of the best travel vids on TH-cam. Super glad I found your channel
Definitely recommend the Finger Lakes / Ithaca. Beautiful area.
Ithaca 45 mims from me😊
Ive been a subscriber for 2 years now I’ve watched every episode! If you come to Buffalo ny you need to try duffs for wings and also la novas !
Ps if you want to try and make your own style of our wings alll the places get there wings from restaurant depot it’s a food warehouse where they sell to restaurants owners
love the videos mate, its so chill to watch it! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Anytime headed through SW VT, give a holler… big yard, fabulous views, great place to camp
this could be easily one of my most comforting and chill videos of you. keep it up bro, stay safe
you know it's gonna be a good day when Ryan posts, thanks man for the awesome videos. Keep em coming!
There didn’t used to be steps down to the base of the falls just a really crappy trail…. It was fun! And I don’t remember a parking lot? I was there in the early 90’s
Try Ken's dressings there are really good growing up it was always hidden valley ranch but now I like the Ken's dressings and then hidden valley and the fries looked amazing.

Wow, the autumn colors are amazing!
I really hope you decide to keep doing things that YOU want to do. We'll still be here watching!
Also that waterfall looks super similar to Silver Falls, OR
Good to see u are near me brother I look forward to any future adventures u have in upstate its a beautiful land up here with the Adirondack mountains and stuff I hope u enjoy what we have here
Letchworth state park is absolutely beautiful,, not too far from there is Stony Brooke in Dansville ny,, both definitely with it!!!!
I always dream of living like this in a couple of years. Your my inspiration and hope to my dreams becoming true. Keep up the amazing work Ryan! :)
Ranch???With Buffalo wings?? Nooooo....! Blue cheese, my friend! When I moved to Charleston rom NY and I dipped my wing I truly thought the server made a mistake!

Bro...where's the breakfast seasoning? Still waiting to spice up my eggs!
It was a failure
hey man. your videos make me feel better. i appreciate what you do.
You went right through my hometown. So awesome!
Dude is my favorite TH-camr I’m so glad I found his channel from that “what is van life really like alone” video
Been following your journey for a while now and this video was in my back yard !! You have to come back and explore the Adirondacks.

A new Ryan video! Made my day. Knitting’s extra fun tonight
Thanks. Always enjoy your vids.
Definitely need a cookbook! Dinner looked awesome!
I grew up in NY city. Street hot dogs are a big thing too. It's almost like German hot dogs. And the icy cups.
Hey Ryan, I’d recommend trying anchor bar, duffs wings, and dinosaur Bar-B-Que next time you are in upstate
So glad you bring us along on your chosen journey!
Beautiful ! Thanks, Ryan!
Free street parking in Brooklyn and plenty of decent options . Just stayed on a quite Street all weekend
Hospitals are excellent over nights for vans. Usually safe, accessible restrooms 24/7 and access to food.
I love the videos u make living in a van look so much fun
drumsticks dawg still look bomb tho
Great video as always! A couple things though! Buffalo is WESTERN NEW YORK and wings are only supposed to be dipped in blue cheese!! 😃 Great content as always man! Go Bills!

I'm not sure if they ever state where they are in A Quite Place but it was mostly filmed in Central NY (Utica NY)!
4:54 I love the music bro
Like and comment if you think Ryan eats A$$
Yass! No shade just here to help 😊😂
I was thinking the same thing but they still looked bomb
Shocked not more comments about this shenanigans. Lol
@@_NunyaB for real. I think since wings consist of flats and drums he thought drum sticks were just the drums without the flats lol.
@@CxClipsyeah that would be one gigantic chicken. 😂
there are a lot of beautiful spots like this in michigan especially the UP
Out of curiosity would all Americans call these wings?! In Australia those are definitely called drumsticks. Wings are what the bird uses to fly with lol, what you’re eating is what the chicken walks with. Regardless they looked fantastic, great job on the sauces, delicious!
No, those were absolutely legs or dummies.
If you want to do a nice bleu cheese dressing you can just take out the two herbs and add some bleu cheese crumbles. I like some lemon juice too. Love your channel!
You need to do those in the instant pot. Air fryer are great for french fries and they only take six minutes
He can do them however he wants!!!
From buffalo,ny I yelled at work once I saw the notification! 🤣 enjoy the wings! Go Bills!
Bro i love your content thanks for the really cool vids
Being from Buffalo, wings is serious business. You got Franks which is proper. Those are chicken legs but that's fine you explained why you got those. But, ranch even despite that you made your own is absolute heresy for wings to us Buffalonians. Bleu Cheese all the way! Great video as always Ryan!
Upstate NY is the best. Glad you were here 😊
You need a pull across screen so you can get the breeze without the mozzies. That meal looks so delicious.
❣ Another great video! Love the waterfall! Thanks for taking us so close to it! Oh, dinner looks amazing! A must try!❣
Just discovered this channel and it’s my new favorite shit you’re awesome man
2:50 editing Ryan cutting himself off 😂
Upstate New York here. You have to come to the Adirondack Mountains and do a high peak hike
gotta go there in summer theres a place called fawns leap up the st from katterskill were u can cliff jump
Congratulations hitting over 316,000 thousands new subscribers well done awesome video
As always man enjoyed the ride and the cooking
Found your channel a month ago. By now i have seen all your vids. Love the content! Keep it up!
