MORE ABOUT US:
We met as Game Wardens in North Carolina and have moved across the country and world ever since. After 3 years in Guam, we are back stateside for full-time nomadic living in a truck camper! Fishing. Hiking. Boating. Skits. We try and sometimes fail at it all.
We’ve had quite a few subscribers ask about the 2nd channel. It is Chris and Elisabeth. youtube.com/@chrisandelisabeth?si=JJdRT6ybD2AvTfUa
We appreciate everyone watching and supporting us 🙏 ❤
Any chance you’d consider changing the pic on one of the channels 😮?
CandE is my favorite rv/adventure channel.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
You guys are really normal. Thats a compliment. So many travel/rv channels are fake as hell. Its all sunshine, acoustic guitar music and butterfly landing on a flower. Okay for awhile but dang, its the same in every video they make.
Hippie vibes, so cool, I like it! No worries YOLO! Love the videos! Thank you for sharing!
Some say this is the best adventure channel! I know I do!
That’s high praise !! Thanks for tuning in!
Besides the issues with income y’all really are living the dream. Looking forward to the next video.
Once we get that minor detail sorted out we are set !
Great show,! Love seeing your adventures!
If I were you guys,I'd sell the boat,highline, scooter and trailer, put the honda bike on the rack in front of the truck and get a jeep to tow behind the truck with some kayaks,so you guys can travel in the same vehicle together. Just my 2 cents.Love the videos 🍻
We can’t sell the boat . We would feel naked without it lol.

Amphibious Hondalette?

Nice back-light in her hair.
.
I enjoy your:
* cinematography
* editing and pacing
* content, and presentation
* background inclusion (building the sense of place).
Fortunately, each of the spokes-models is fantastically photogenic.

An example of your background inclusion.
I see this as building a tremendous sense of place.
Thanks to both of you for always being entertaining. Love the Larry Norman addition. I haven’t heard that in years, very cool.
Thank you for the support ! We are happy someone recognized the song!!!
I'm glad the new springs are working out. I need to do the same thing with my van.
Always enjoy the channel.
They have been an awesome upgrade! Our last few campsites have all been blm boondocking and they have really made a difference .
Love the new intro!!
Thank you! We tried to mix it up a little
@@CandEAdventures
It felt rushed, almost a bragging about 'how cool we are!'...
... but does that describe your channel?
.
I see each spokes-model as caring, open, extremely intelligent, charismatic [defined : 'a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others']!
U guys are fabulous!! Hilarious too 😂
🙏🙏thank you!
Make sure you grease the bearings on your trailers, cause I was going to Arizona and burnt my axle up on my little ATV trailer and it gets quite expensive when you’re out in the middle of no place
I have probably 40 Ryobi 18V cordless I love them...I do have that glue gun lol...also the cordless chainsaws are very nice for getting firewood and clearing brush...I believe they are the best for the price and super quality
Have been tempted by the 40v system just for that chainsaw !
@@CandEAdventures
At the farm, I rigged each truck for a Craftsman 20v chain-saw, charger, and spare batteries.
.
So far, my review for these would be 'boringly simple, zero maintenance, easy to handle'.
On to new adventures!! Good luck Chris & E. Hugs to Mona!
🙏🙏
Im going to say that that had to be a great wake up ,just to see the great spot you landed at,,,Very nice !
It was an awesome and free surprise !!
Just enjoy and everything will be fine
Thank you for the optimism!!
@@CandEAdventures I've been following you guys since Guam. Subscribed to your other cool channel.
'And if everything is NOT fine, enjoy that, too'...
...LM says so!
Quartzite is a good area for the winter. Yuma has good access across the border to medical and dental.
We have been looking into both of those options !
hehe Larry Norman Rocks. :)
Awesome video, and I always enjoy your videos 5:04 separate vehicles help. Momma drives me crazy riding in our Rv with me 😆 🤣 😂
Thank you! And some solo time isn’t always a bad thing for sure 😂
Hey guys, we noticed you have a wire hanging down from the roof next to your tent section of your Northstar. We have the same camper and had the same issue, called American camper in Orange County CA. There’s some plastic clip material (I think it comes in 6 foot lengths, and you can cut whatever you need and it clips up inside and hold your wires up that go to your running lights) up inside there that gets broken and the wires fall down. Give them a call and see if you can have some drop shipped wherever you are going to be. You’ll need a ladder. You also may want to get some Nite eyes #1 S clips in stainless steel for your roof latches.
Dang, I hope we run into you characters on the trail!! Bring your guitar!
We taped it up a couple times but def need a more permanent solution. A repair shop is a little out of our monetary means at the moment. We may give those clips a shot ! See y’all on the road!!!
@@CandEAdventures Ugh! I bought our Northstar, and wondered what that gooey mess was up there. Gorilla Tape! Took me a month of Sundays to get it all out of there. The "clips" are long plastic strips designed to hold the wires up and out of the way. They're cheap. The camper dealership just gave us a few 6' runs of them for free. Whatever you do, don't let the tape (if it's duct tape) sit too long in the sun. Smarty pants like you two can do it, no problem. We've been off roading our camper for 6 years, though not "living in it". Loved your video....Made me subscribe.
Awe I think I just missed you we were camping up there this weekend for the Christmas Parade. Great area! Keep up the great work on the channel!
We saw a lot of off-roaders coming in . Was that for a parade ? We had no idea. Probably would have stayed around for that
I love your scooter!
It’s awesome on pavement ! The wind and weather protection and storage is amazing. Off-road however it’s unusable with the low ground clearance. Hopefully we will be back to pavement soon !
Rooting for you guys! I'm here in Phoenix if you need anything. Timmy C Arizona
Thank you so much !!
Did you see that green orb???? 🌟🌟🌟
Good catch!
There is s fish hatchery above kernville lots rainbows
Is the e bike review a separate channel ? I’ve watched your reviews on this channel. As always great video and the truck re spring is absolutely the best way to go! Good decision!
Ya we started a new channel just for reviews. We have one more ebike review on this channel then all the rest will go on the second channel. The leaf springs have been awesome. Both highway and off road have been night and day!
What is the e bikes channel name?@@CandEAdventures
arroyo seco....we like that place.
I think your spring guy may be wrong about the added carrying capacity. I wouldn’t add any more payload than the truck is rated for.
He was just talking about the springs not the trucks capacity.
lawless California - u got dat right! steal, but don’t speed…😂😂🤣🤣
Redneck, is a state of mind, not a location. California has more of them by volume than Arkansas. 🤣
Currently in the desert of California and we found our kinfolk out here 🥹😂. We believe your right
@@CandEAdventures
A volume of Rednecks.
Nope Florida has more redneck motorheads
It’s great that you put a new spring pack on because you obviously needed it but please don’t let a mechanic convince you that now you can add 2000 more pounds. That may be a false number that could get you in another jam.
Like we said it the video the springs are good for more weight but the truck payload is the same
Restrooms? You're in the desert, isn't it all a restroom? It's like the ocean 😂
Chris could do big time talk! I hope you get a explanation for the TH-cam action. You are your own man. Can't say the same for that dern algorithm! Girlfriend is adorable too.
your videos are enjoyable to watch. You should have more subscribers and sure that you will.
Use what you got when you got it! Charge all day and use all night! Great video you two! So on the road are you using propane for the fridge or 12v?
That’s been our plan, the solar goes all day and the generator runs for 2 hours or less. We are just using the fridge as a pantry right now. Our fridge doesn’t work well on 12v and we are stingy with propane lol.
@@CandEAdventures
In our ExpeditionVehicle, we have a SnoMaster 61qt dual-zone.
Safari engineered, I could probably dump it out of the back of a C-130 at 160kt, and by the time we get back to camp, it has dinner ready for us and a mint on the pillow.
Extremely efficient on 12vdc, its use is equivalent to sniffing ambient fumes off the batteries.

[edited to add]
Oops, I wrote 'mint'.
I am so sorry, I forgot about your relationship with Ryan Reynolds.
Keysville area❤
Just too much stuff for that life 😂
I guess we could just not have hobbies? Or tools or workout equipment? This isn’t a rich channel we don’t have a house we go back to between trips . This is not a fantasy channel. We would love to travel light and go back to a house and garage but we don’t have that option
@ali,
How much stuff would be the right amount.
Jesus is the answer, loved that song. good vid, God bless
Hey Guys!!! My apologies I've been MIA for a couple of weeks, a very good friend of mine had a sudden heart attack and passed away. His death was so sudden and caught most of us so off guard that it's been a very emotional time, so that's that. So now that I'm back, I see you've left the security of a full time job for the stomach knotting existence of off grid living again, so I guess Kudos!? What are you looking for and where just in case I hear of something jobwise through the grapevine (as a Canadian you know I am in constant observation of the USA as is the job of All Canadians, except that Bieber kid, he's all yours!) Just so you know, I want both of You and Mona to have a Wonderful Christmas and I want to give you a reasonably priced night out, no fast food, no paper plates, no dishes just a decent meal in a place with some atmosphere. So I will be sending you $100.00 US to you later this month before Christmas. I worry about you kids and although I love and respect what you are doing it doesn't stop me from wondering how you guys are actually doing. Sadly, I'm still waiting for my passport (Good Ole Canadian efficiency) otherwise I'd have flown to LA and roped a buddy of mine into ditching work for a few days to drive out and visit you, maybe later next year if all stays stable. Enjoy your stay in that beautiful area, and we'll talk soon. Sending much Love from here to You Guys and Mona!!! - Dave
Sorry for your loss. It’s completely understandable to take some time away. We are currently seeking a podiatrist appointment somewhere , then a job after I figure out my foot issue. We will keep Bieber if you take Ryan Reynolds’s back. I can’t stand his mint mobile commercials anymore lol.
@@CandEAdventures Deal, so long as Blake comes along in the deal for Ryan and his Gin. What did you do to your foot, or is this a holdover injury from Guam that you never had attended to? I am sorry for your pain though, I had a massive hole that went right through my foot before the lower leg was amputated, but I'm feeling much better now. Thanks for your condolences, they are much appreciated, and I am really sorry about your foot, now go and get it fixed. I wonder if I adopted you guys if you'd get Canadian Health Care?? I'll look into it and let you know! :)
Ah Kernville/Lake Isabella! You kids are living a dream! And damn the commie fire season closures - Tar heel for life!
setting up in the dark is not fun, i try to avoid it.
I have a 99 ford f250 diesel does the box on your front cause cooling issues with engine or transmission?
No issues what so ever . It never changes the temps regardless of the box being upfront or the motorcycle on the front rack. It is a manual transmission so we can’t speak about automatics.
@@CandEAdventures thanks mine is an automatic and I have had transmission issues 345000 and I’m on my 2nd transmission. Love watching your guys adventures. Have fun and be safe.
I found this channel because of your e-bikes and then I saw your boat! Love that boat. I also had a 03 dirty diesel like yours, coolest truck ever. I believe this channel has a lot going for it. I would like to see you use your toys more as I am sure you would like to. Keep it up, have fun and live your life with passion. New intro is awesome.
@@BillHall-z5v we would love some downtime to play with the toys more! Maybe we finally have some now. It’s hard to beat the pre emissions diesels.
What the new channel name
Chris and Elisabeth. May change it in the future but it was a quick set up for the reviews 😅
What is your second channel? Jerry D. in Pa.
youtube.com/@chrisandelisabeth?si=f7MTYkoGW0YDjYgO This is our second channel. For strictly reviews. Our plan is to only have one more ebike review on this main channel. Everything after that will strictly be on this second channel.
Don’t hate on Arkansas lol
We had to give California a break as the state to joke about 🤣
Be careful with California taxes they will want all your tax income from youtube ❤
Jokes on them, we make like $4 dollars on TH-cam 😂😂. Their income tax for our work camping job was crazy, though. Almost 25%
Some body has to pay for the crap clean-up in Frisco. @@CandEAdventures
I want to feel like I make $50K/year!
We highly recommend the shark week brand croc alternatives from Walmart to get the most out of your warm shoe experience
Hi to both of you. I just came across your channel and enjoyed it. I’ve been in Mexico for the past 2 years and came back 1 month ago looking at a 30 by 60 lot with full hookups in Quartzsite Arizona. Desert Gardens is backed up to Q mountain and trails with showers toilets laundry and peace. special for 1 year is $205 monthly.
Is this the desert rv resort or rv park? We know some places around there are 55+.
