I love how you turned every single crappy thing into a positive. Yay new camera! And you had a smile on your face the whole time you filmed your van stuck lol so good! It must've been tough but as you say, it is now an UNFORGETTABLE trip. Great video ❤
Love that Akela has a buddy! Lovely watching them Frisk! You were sooo calm after the fall! I do not think I would have been so together. (edited for spelling)
Love how the dogs hang around and follow everyone around. I think Akela and Kobuk(I think that was his name), would make beautiful children/pups 😉🙂. Anyway, Linnea great adventure with some great friends to enjoy it with. Nice to have such company 👍
The upper Buffalo is one of my favorite places on earth. Hiking, the river, the falls, the ruins. I have been there in low water and very high water. Once I was camping with my 74 year old mom and we got rained out and had to sleep in the van. I met a park ranger that I dated for several years (he moved on which is common). He took me places and I saw animals I would have never expected. Once at Ponca's landing a herd of elk were right there at the low water bridge. Truly one of those unique places.
The one big downside to a loaded (And otherwise wonderful) FWD Ram Promaster! 😂 Next time you need to be pulled out there's a hidden tow ring for your front bumper! Look for the square plastic piece in the bumper that pops out. Underneath that is a reinforced threaded hole into which the large eye ring (Which should be with your jack) threads into. It makes it a bit easier than rolling in the mud looking for a questionable place to attach the chains to.
Loved this video! I had a lot of fun along with you guys. I know now I don't want a Promaster. Following you has proved that. You're van needs to be updated for backroad adventures! That's where your heart lives.
There are safeguards on some electronics to shut them down when exposed to water. Usually it is the attempted reboot prior to them being properly dry that fries them. Patience is key with these things.. it takes much longer to dry something out properly than people often imagine.
Can you show us in a little more detail how you lit that camp fire please? Maybe on your future adventures, that would be so helpful,when I go camping and forget the matches I won't enemy number one Ha ha. I really enjoy watching you wringing the guts out of life, to the very last drop. You go girl !! Your country is so, so beautiful, I love it, especially the desert
Great adventures! I have friends who have 100 acres that butt up to the Buffalo river in Arkansas. Let me know if you ever want to go and fish again. They have a camp out area there where I parked the van and would love to have a Meetup!! It would be great to flyfish with others! Hats off to doing what is fun and exciting. Sometimes life gives us lemons and it's what we do with that which makes beautiful memories!❤️❤️
You can take a camera while crossing rivers but next time put it in a special waterproof bag/pouch. I know from my motorcycling days (sadly those are over due to chronic illness) that there are some great bags and pouches to keep your stuff dry.
It's all part of the Journii, making memories ❤ I could just hear ElsaRhae yelling "Yes, Yes, Yes"(as she watches your video) when you found wild morel mushrooms! Rofl She loves to hunt them! Great video, thanks Linnea!
Great video! That’s the side of van life I’m building for. 9 months of projecting on this design and probably 6 more before I’m done but it’s livable and I love it. The smiles and stories seem to be this videos highlight and I appreciate your efforts to share it at a cost to your equipment. Keep up the great work and best wishes on your future build with your brother. Thank you for bringing the real to what seems to be an over glorified venture world.
Thanks Linnea for sharing your fishing trip! It looks like so much fun and the challenges were handled with such grace. Good to see Sam and Dan too, they are so sweet and Chris! Thanks for sharing your adventures- the good and the unexpected! Looking forward to the build!
Take it from me…Water and electronics do not go hand and hand…….3 drones at the bottom of the Caribbean plus computers and camera gear….Stay with your Go Pro around water
Looked like a fun filled camping fishing adventure nice that you had so many good folks to get you out of the mess with the gravel you should have a hidden toe ring in or under the bumper . Cant wait to see the trailer build
I’ve kayaked a 35 mile stretch of that river a few years back. If you ever get the chance you should check out the Current River. If you like natural springs…omg….. anyway good video good times
Welp. That was definitely an adventure! Thank goodness for amazing, fellow adventure friends. Absolutely a fan of yours. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing these adventures with us. ♥️
I live near the Missouri river and went fishing for catfish the other day and on the walk back we found mushrooms also, i hope you enjoy your time in the Midwest!
So sorry about your camera! That sucks. So excited for the trailer build though! I will be doing it along with you, I am actually picking up my 7x14' trailer in a couple of weeks! I am looking forward to seeing what plans you have for it.
In many cases tire chains used for snow/ice can be used in situations where your tire tread just isn't aggressive enough for extra slippery conditions.
You should plan a trip to Pulaski N.Y. for Columbus day weekend 2023. Fri the 6th - mon the 9th. The salmon run! Salmon fishing on the salmon River N.Y. FUN FUN FUN. Really any year. But I recommend going at least once being that it's not really your area. But that's what can life is for. Exploring and new adventures in New places My friends and I go every year. It can be a bit busy this weekend but that's what makes it fun. Then after the main salmon run all the way through February, even into March all of the tributaries off of the Great Lakes can be fished for steelhead coming in to feed on the salmon eggs! Huge salmon and delicious beautiful steelhead trout! Great memories and a really fun adventure. A little secret.... when you get into town ask any local or fellow Angler for directions to the black hole! Best fishing in the entire area, you won't regret it
I am not watching things in order but I’m catching up! Kabuki! What a perfect buddy for Akela! And thanks to Sam and her magic phone, whew! Glad we didn’t miss it. Nice story telling and recovery, great to see more of Chris! And to see Dan bravely eat the limp mushrooms! I wanna fly fish now!
I absolutely LOVED seeing Akela and Kobuk playing. I could watch that all day long. Also my anxiety was insane watching you be stuck and people waiting. Seriously haha that is such a trigger for me. I won't even take the time in a grocery line to put my change away because people are waiting for me to move. I can NOT imagine being in that position lol. You handled it so well!
Great video, glad you’re back and filming! Two things… buy a small Pelican box to waterproof your camera…or even better, a cheap waterproof box from Harbor Freight would do. Finally, that song….”I was young, I was old…now I’m done” or something like that. I gotta get it! Who is it? Great lyrics but I can’t remember them all…. PS - I’m old 👴🏻
I grew up in that part of Arkansas and have had so many beautiful adventures on the Buffalo River. Makes me homesick! I think one of your friends had Flying Possum sandals on too!
I can feel your excitement about the trip I don't fish for trout I fish for bass so I know exactly how you feel catching a big bass on top Waters nothing like it and I love seeing the two doggies play together hope the cameras well 👌👏✌️🐝
Love your channel, like seeing the different areas and the different thing you do (especially fishing). H done self-taught flyfishing had lots of fun. Want to give Akela a shout also; beautiful. well trained do.
I think it is really awesome that you are watching this all the way from Brazil!! Do people convert Combi's for the purpose of van life? Brazil is such a beautiful place!
I love the way you're living your dream adventures! I received a spinal cord injury 7 years ago so I can't hike anymore, and I'm so proud of myself that I did live my adventures when I was young and healthy. Thank you for taking us along with you! 🥰 The whole trip was so much more fun with the things that went 'wrong' anyway lol. (PS. Insurance is a great thing for things like cameras lol). Safe travels 💖❤️🚙🇨🇦
I've been a fan of your channel for a while now and I've come to know Chris since connecting on the Van Life ClubHouse channel. Cannot wait to kick it with y'all once our van build is complete.
That looked like an amazing trip! Sure it wasn't what you 'planned' but this story will last much longer in your minds than if it had all gone exactly to plan. A set of (tire) chains tucked away for situations like this might be useful. Idk if it would have helped in this situation, but they have gotten me out of a few sticky spots. Looking forward to more of your trips with this crew, they all seem like great people to be around.
Check with your Insurance company for a rider for your camera gear. Just a few extra bucks a month and your gear will totally be covered - including drops in the river. 😊
I'm sorry about your loss!! If this means any thing , I left my pvs 14 night vision binoculars on ,only to discover that this morning!! Very sad day today!! 😞
If all those folks waiting behind you decided to push, the tractor might not have been needed. You and Akela are so adorable maybe Akela a tad more, LOL. Thanks for the outdoor adventure but viewing from the sofa I stayed dry. Hope your camera is OK..
I love Damn fishing trip stories . They give you a chance to laugh at yourself. I went fishing in a small damm and the alarm went off and we had to get out of there and we had to climb straight up in sand. We get out or get wet. Oh by the way it was 1:00am I wrote it correctly midnight fishing. We laughed even though we were in our forties, fifties and one in mid seventies we did it in record time. NEVER AGAIN. But we had a blast. Better than telling larger than life fish stories about the one that got aeay.lol
Hey Linnea, looks like a great back woods trip with dogs and friends. I too have an American White Shepherd just like Akela, his name is Shaman, aka The Sidecar Shepherd, and he loves to ride in his sidecar on my motorcycle. We’ve had many great miles together. I’ve done some backwoods photography on my trips, and I like to always carry my cameras in a large zip lock bag,it’s a little inconvenient, but it helps keep them dry. Happy Travels, Stay Safe!🥰👍ps love your video’s.🤗
I'm curious as to what the temperature was on the days that you were there. I just noticed that everyone's clothing seemed a bit mixed. Some wearing hoodies and pants and others wearing t-shirts and shorts
A very expensive 3 days but it reminds me of a book we’ve all read. 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…’ But I’ll bet it will be those times that you sit around a campfire talking and laughing about. Stories for the children. I know a few people whose temper would overtaken the positive and made it a weekend from hell. I’ve heard a lot of good things about that Remington rod and if I ever switch from my sage that’ll be the one I go to. A sponsor I watched all the way through. For murky water change up and try bright flies of similar shape and size. That works for me up here sometimes. I always have my choronimds with me as well. Maybe take some fly tying course through one of your sports shops. You’d laugh at some of my work but it’s half the fun IMHO. Cheers from Canader eh!
I'm sure you've already thought about this but you might want some traction boards for piece of mind! Sorry to offer unsolicited advice- I just hate the feeling when I get my van stuck!! I carry GoTreads which fold up for storage (vs MaxTrax which are pretty big)
Ahhh...morels!! Yummy! I hope you logged the GPS coordinates of where you found them in the woods. I know people who keep that kind of information in a safety deposit box! 😂 I just love watching Akelah, WGSD's are special. My Stella was an owner surrender at 8 years old and she's 12 now, I wish I could have seen her at Akelah's age, young and full of energy. Thank you for sharing her with us!! 🥰
Linnea this is going to sound a little funny but my promaster has gotten stuck a few times as well always on loose hills , next time try turning that stupid traction control off and go up the hill in reverse I swear you don’t even have to go fast ! All the weight of the engine helps with the wheels not spinning 😁 if that doesn’t work and you need a pull there is a tow loop in your jack box it screws into the frame on the passenger side of your front bumper, there is a little square plastic cover that pops out to screw the tow hook in. Also a tow loop welded to frame in back passenger side just under bumper . My PM is a 2014 , know yours is 2016 but should b the same 😄
You should invest in a wench for your van in case you get stuck with no help around. They're not very expensive. Harbor Freight has some good ones that are durable and have remote control so you can operate it from the driver seat. Badland 2,500 pound for $84.99. I have one to load motorcycles on my trailer. I've had it for 4 years and never a problem.
Wow. What an adventure! So sorry about the camera and phone ☹️ but you are correct, this trip will be one to remember and laugh about for many years in the future. 👍. May I ask where they found a spot on the van to hook the chain to? The front end wasn’t pulled off, (at least on camera 😆) so I’m guessing they found a good spot. But am curious for future reference. ☺️. Have fun in Wisconsin!
Actually that was so cool man even though you had all those problems they were really neat at least you had all those friends there to help you get out of that tequila was so cool through it all well I'm glad that you are okay is very pretty there too keep the videos of coming we're going to be glad to see your brother and your rest of your family and y'all working on that together stay close to your family they've all you've got okay bye now
It’s not an adventure until something goes wrong. Up until that point, it’s all entertainment. You handled all of it with such aplomb. Great video.
Totally agree with you! Thank you :)
Great video and adventure for y'all. I'm impressed by your fly fishing skills. And the morels, what a find. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! The morels were quite the treat :)
I love how you turned every single crappy thing into a positive. Yay new camera! And you had a smile on your face the whole time you filmed your van stuck lol so good! It must've been tough but as you say, it is now an UNFORGETTABLE trip. Great video ❤
Love that Akela has a buddy! Lovely watching them Frisk! You were sooo calm after the fall! I do not think I would have been so together. (edited for spelling)
For sure! I was laughing pretty quick after the fall… nothing you can do but have some fun with it :)
Love how the dogs hang around and follow everyone around. I think Akela and Kobuk(I think that was his name), would make beautiful children/pups 😉🙂. Anyway, Linnea great adventure with some great friends to enjoy it with. Nice to have such company 👍
Spring in the Ozarks is pretty magical. And muddy.
The upper Buffalo is one of my favorite places on earth. Hiking, the river, the falls, the ruins. I have been there in low water and very high water. Once I was camping with my 74 year old mom and we got rained out and had to sleep in the van. I met a park ranger that I dated for several years (he moved on which is common). He took me places and I saw animals I would have never expected. Once at Ponca's landing a herd of elk were right there at the low water bridge. Truly one of those unique places.
So glad you got out but think of all the stories you have!!!
Those are the days we all live for. Wonderful memories and don't cost much, well.... usually.
Have a great week!
So much excitement, both good and not-so-good but what a great and memorable adventure!
Absolutely! Haha with the best people!
very nice/an to fish too/the camera ok/thanks much
The one big downside to a loaded (And otherwise wonderful) FWD Ram Promaster! 😂
Next time you need to be pulled out there's a hidden tow ring for your front bumper! Look for the square plastic piece in the bumper that pops out.

It makes it a bit easier than rolling in the mud looking for a questionable place to attach the chains to.
Yes I had no idea about this! Thank you!
I’m thanking you too. Though I know the tip wasn’t for me I’m taking it anyway 😃
Loved this video! I had a lot of fun along with you guys. I know now I don't want a Promaster. Following you has proved that. You're van needs to be updated for backroad adventures! That's where your heart lives.
I don’t know much about automatics, but in a manual, reversing up a hill is a great trick for front wheel drive cars!
There are safeguards on some electronics to shut them down when exposed to water. Usually it is the attempted reboot prior to them being properly dry that fries them. Patience is key with these things.. it takes much longer to dry something out properly than people often imagine.

I really enjoy watching you wringing the guts out of life, to the very last drop. You go girl !! Your country is so, so beautiful, I love it, especially the desert
I love that you always seem to be able to have perspective so quickly in a trying situation. You show joy when most of us would still be swearing.
I just fricking LOVE ya!
You are SO inspiring.
Thanks for SO many beautiful video's to enjoy this amazing world through your eye's!
Great adventures! I have friends who have 100 acres that butt up to the Buffalo river in Arkansas. Let me know if you ever want to go and fish again. They have a camp out area there where I parked the van and would love to have a Meetup!! It would be great to flyfish with others! Hats off to doing what is fun and exciting. Sometimes life gives us lemons and it's what we do with that which makes beautiful memories!❤️❤️
I agree with you, your best trip ever thus far. Akela was a tropper and you were with the right ppl for these mishaps. They were positive all the way.
You can take a camera while crossing rivers but next time put it in a special waterproof bag/pouch. I know from my motorcycling days (sadly those are over due to chronic illness) that there are some great bags and pouches to keep your stuff dry.
Sounds like a usual back country trip 😂 but we keep going building more stories
What a memorable adventure! I was so excited when you found morels. That was a nice treat after the incident with your camera.
It's all part of the Journii, making memories ❤ I could just hear ElsaRhae yelling "Yes, Yes, Yes"(as she watches your video) when you found wild morel mushrooms! Rofl She loves to hunt them! Great video, thanks Linnea!
Oh I love this! Yes it certainly is all part of the journey ♥️ I’ll be doing more mushroom hunting soon!
@@Linneaandakela hee hee! I absolutely imagined the same joyful response from Elsa. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure!!
Great video! That’s the side of van life I’m building for. 9 months of projecting on this design and probably 6 more before I’m done but it’s livable and I love it.

Hahaha, find out what the fish are biting on THESE DAYS....that was a good one!!!
🍃🤗🍃

In many cases tire chains used for snow/ice can be used in situations where your tire tread just isn't aggressive enough for extra slippery conditions.
It was so cute watching the dogs chasing around at the beginning. And now everyone knows to wrap their expensive gear in waterproofing!
Omg I can't believe you were in my backyard! Please come back and give the Buffalo River another try!
You should plan a trip to Pulaski N.Y. for Columbus day weekend 2023. Fri the 6th - mon the 9th. The salmon run!
Salmon fishing on the salmon River N.Y.
FUN FUN FUN. Really any year. But I recommend going at least once being that it's not really your area. But that's what can life is for. Exploring and new adventures in New places

As soon as I saw those morels I was envious! LOL. Those things are a delicacy! You can sell them for a LOT of money.
That's a beautiful place to fish. My family loves going down there.
Now that was a journey...forget the destination. Friend make everything fun! Great video!
I am not watching things in order but I’m catching up! Kabuki! What a perfect buddy for Akela! And thanks to Sam and her magic phone, whew! Glad we didn’t miss it. Nice story telling and recovery, great to see more of Chris! And to see Dan bravely eat the limp mushrooms! I wanna fly fish now!
Loved the whole video from beginning to end 💓 Your take of this trip made it the best!!
I absolutely LOVED seeing Akela and Kobuk playing. I could watch that all day long. Also my anxiety was insane watching you be stuck and people waiting. Seriously haha that is such a trigger for me. I won't even take the time in a grocery line to put my change away because people are waiting for me to move. I can NOT imagine being in that position lol. You handled it so well!
Haha yes it was stressful for a little while! Just happy we are all safe and nothing (of super high value 😅) was destroyed in the process :)
LOVE Thank you!
Great video, glad you’re back and filming!
Two things… buy a small Pelican box to waterproof your camera…or even better, a cheap waterproof box from Harbor Freight would do. Finally, that song….”I was young, I was old…now I’m done” or something like that.
I gotta get it! Who is it?
Great lyrics but I can’t remember them all….
PS - I’m old 👴🏻
The funny thing is that I have a dry bag for it haha just myself being silly for not using it!
That song is “Into Pieces” by Amos Noah
I grew up in that part of Arkansas and have had so many beautiful adventures on the Buffalo River. Makes me homesick! I think one of your friends had Flying Possum sandals on too!
I can feel your excitement about the trip I don't fish for trout I fish for bass so I know exactly how you feel catching a big bass on top Waters nothing like it and I love seeing the two doggies play together hope the cameras well 👌👏✌️🐝
So much adventure,I love it,so fun,thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see the build..✌💚😁
Two good dogs are better than one. I am glad you had an adventure. It is to bad about the camera. But shit happens and we just have to go on.
Woohoo! So awesome! Thanks for the video!
Love your channel, like seeing the different areas and the different thing you do (especially fishing). H done self-taught flyfishing had lots of fun.
Want to give Akela a shout also; beautiful. well trained do.
Opa bom dia a vc menina e akela, que aventura incrível, mesmo com o prejuízos causados, ficaram lindas lembranças e imagens maravilhosas. 🙋♂️🇧🇷
I think it is really awesome that you are watching this all the way from Brazil!! Do people convert Combi's for the purpose of van life? Brazil is such a beautiful place!
I love the way you're living your dream adventures! I received a spinal cord injury 7 years ago so I can't hike anymore, and I'm so proud of myself that I did live my adventures when I was young and healthy. Thank you for taking us along with you! 🥰 The whole trip was so much more fun with the things that went 'wrong' anyway lol. (PS. Insurance is a great thing for things like cameras lol). Safe travels 💖❤️🚙🇨🇦
Tow hook in box with jack. Small cover on bumper, passenger side pop open and screw in to bumper behind cover..
Thanks so much Jeff! I had no idea until you sent that picture. Appreciate you!
I've been a fan of your channel for a while now and I've come to know Chris since connecting on the Van Life ClubHouse channel. Cannot wait to kick it with y'all once our van build is complete.
Look at you with your eyes done!
That record scratch sound effect was just kind of perfect there. Nice editing.
Back doing what you love. Sorry about the camera. Nice intro to Chris. Seems like a good guy.
That looked like a fun trip just sucks you lost your camera but at least you will have the memory and a good laugh in the future cheers
You have such great friends, what an adventure 👍👍
That looked like an amazing trip! Sure it wasn't what you 'planned' but this story will last much longer in your minds than if it had all gone exactly to plan.

Looks like it was A fun trip.Those mushrooms made my mouth water, should be able to find some in Montana pretty soon.Looking forward to the build.
I'm sorry about your loss!! If this means any thing , I left my pvs 14 night vision binoculars on ,only to discover that this morning!! Very sad day today!! 😞
If all those folks waiting behind you decided to push, the tractor might not have been needed. You and Akela are so adorable maybe Akela a tad more, LOL. Thanks for the outdoor adventure but viewing from the sofa I stayed dry. Hope your camera is OK..
Akela looks like she had fun.all looks like a good time to me! Great memories:)

Omg girl what a trip is right 🤣 Making memories. It still looked like a great time. Maybe get some traction boards for the next episode lol!
I'm sure you've already thought about this but you might want some traction boards for piece of mind! Sorry to offer unsolicited advice- I just hate the feeling when I get my van stuck!! I carry GoTreads which fold up for storage (vs MaxTrax which are pretty big)
Love looks so beautiful!!
Ahhh...morels!! Yummy! I hope you logged the GPS coordinates of where you found them in the woods. I know people who keep that kind of information in a safety deposit box! 😂 I just love watching Akelah, WGSD's are special. My Stella was an owner surrender at 8 years old and she's 12 now, I wish I could have seen her at Akelah's age, young and full of energy. Thank you for sharing her with us!! 🥰
Yes the morels were such a treat! WGSD’s are certainly amazing ♥️

Need to take Akela’s pack off before the river crossings just to be safe.
Aplomb. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.

You just Rocked It!
Thanks!! It’s certainly an unforgettable adventure!
MORELS!!!! ❤️🍄❤️🍄❤️🍄
I hope you not only invested in new camera gear but also water proof bags from any mountaineering shop.
Buffalo River in Arkansas? White River. Great trout fishing. Good video.
PosiTraction or limited slip differential is a wonderful thing. 8-)
Another good adventure. Sorry, for your camera. But all are safe. Soon
Exactly! Thank you :)
A rainbow warrior with a black zebra midge 12-18” below it never, ever, fails.
Great Vid, you are living the life I want. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you :)

Wow. What an adventure! So sorry about the camera and phone ☹️ but you are correct, this trip will be one to remember and laugh about for many years in the future. 👍. May I ask where they found a spot on the van to hook the chain to? The front end wasn’t pulled off, (at least on camera 😆) so I’m guessing they found a good spot. But am curious for future reference. ☺️. Have fun in Wisconsin!
