Larry we all have your back my friend. There are alot of us that have similar feelings at times. My defense mechanism is to stay in bed a couple hours longer or to put my phone on “do not disturb “ a bit longer. I feel you and understand what you’re talking about. Keep on making videos my friend. You have a great vlog presence and a chill demeanor that relaxes all of us watching that have similar issues. You are appreciated by so many. Keep making content my friend. Give Mason some pets from us.
I wish I knew your name Sir, but thank you so much for that comment. I really appreciate that you took the time to write all that!! It really means a lot, thank you 🙏
@@Frankie33828 hey everyone is welcome to their own opinions. I’m not sure what I did, or why you wrote this negative comment, or why you took the time to watch my video and read other peoples comments 🤷 but at least be brave enough to explain your reasoning. Thanks for disliking me enough to try to sabotage my comment section 😂 And it was good chatting with ya since I assume you won’t reply lol
Larry my name is Tom. Nice to meet you. Keep doing what you’re doing. Alot of us enjoy the simplicity of camping but aren’t able to do it for a variety of reasons.
Anybody who talks of anti-consumerism has my vote. I retired a couple years ago and have been busier than ever trying to FINALLY pay attention to what really matters, like my health both physically and mentally. That is exhausting enough to keep one busy let alone trying to "keep up with the Jones". If one is looking to follow in your footsteps, or even retire early all together, you have to start deciding what really matters and get rid of the rest. At least that's the case for most of us. See you out there some day.
As the problems mounted, my husband said "Why am I watching a video about my own life"? We can certainly relate. We hold onto the phrase "This too shall pass" . Keep a good thought!
What an insightful young man you are. It sounds like you know exactly what you need to be doing to make you happy and fulfilled. I think you are doing exactly what your meant to do. This channel should be twice the numbers - it’s that good!!!
Wow, thank you so much for that! I really appreciate it 😊 Hopefully one day the channel grows larger, I guess when the time is right the time will be right 🤷 Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
Warning the powers that be don't care about what we want. Oprah said we can't be happy all the time. We should be creating "happierness" which is when life gives you lemons make lemonade.
No doubt we each have to find the correct balance in our life. One thing I'm sure that we in this group can agree on: sitting by a campfire is relaxing for the soul. Your vids are well shot and edited, very enjoyable to watch. Mason is such a great little buddy.
I definitely agree with you on the campfire! Thank you so much for the compliments on the videos and I’m glad that you enjoy them! Thank you so much for watching 😊 🙏
Brother I couldn't agree with you more. We all need to stop being consumed by the things that society expects us to have or by doing the things society dictates we should be doing. As someone struggling with Anxiety & Depression (badly) I greatly appreciate your candid honesty. Been "stuck" at home for the better part of a year and not nearly doing as well as you. Keep doing what you do my friend. You're helping many of us get by and get BETTER. Thank you!
Not nearly doing as well as me? I have a friend that describes me as a person who videotapes my homelessness 😂 I think it’s all a matter of perspective. 🤷 Anyways, I have struggled with anxiety and depression, my whole life and has always been on medication for it. I’m proud to say though, I am officially off all my medication as of a couple months ago but that’s all due to diet and exercise 🤷 I hope things get better for you in the near future and until then thank you very much for watching my videos! I’m glad you enjoy them 🙏 😊
Personally, I think you're doing things right. I'm new to your channel, but from what I've seen so far, I'd be doing it just the same. Working a little and resetting my mental health whenever I can. My current situation doesn't allow me that possibility. The difference is that I'm a single 57 year old female. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel alone in the middle of nowhere. I watch you drive through the desert on fairly deserted roads. I'm not sure what I would do if I broke down out there. I'm not talking about a flat tire or other miner issues. That much I can handle on my own, but an actual breakdown. I'd definitely have to have great cell service to be able to call assistance. Me and my dog (Sophia, goldendoodle, by the way) we would love this lifestyle and would be just fine. P.s. Bacon Crispy is the only way to eat it and not gag😂
I like my bacon slightly crunchy. It's all good anyway. Mason is a great companion for you. He's a sweetie! Dogfood is mostly not nutritional as it is cooked at high heat. You might try Sundays dog food. It's supposed to be more nutritious.
Got a kitty I hand feed treats. BTW is Mason chipped? Could be life or death if he wanders off or worse. Vets and rescuers always check for them. Not terribly expensive and so life saving.
I am new to this channel. I am not a camper but these videos are addictive. I love the education in some videos, about the history of towns, and your cooking looks amazing. I find myself hungry. Your breakfast is out of this world. I love Mason!!!!
Agree health is everything. I am 80 and practiced good habits but still now I have physical challenges - but what if I had not practiced good diet, exercise and positive attitude! So do all you can today, will appreciate it at older age. Getting older may be a challenge but it does have its perks. In a lot of ways, life is better. 🎉
Hello Larry, I been there with not being happy. I lost my husband 4 years ago, and I never thought I would be happy again, Out of the blue I met a great guy who is the love of my life. He too had a loss as well, I think out of the blue it will happen to you. U need a camping partner. Love your videos and little Mason too. Keep smiling and keepem coming!!!!
You might be right on the camping partner, but I’m definitely not in a rush right now ha ha ha. Just having my buddy Mason with me is more than enough! I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, but I am happy for you that you found your happiness 😊 thank you so much for watching! 🙏
Hey Larry, I started watching your channel about a month ago and really have been thoroughly enjoying it. I just wanted to thank you for simply being yourself on camera. I can tell that there’s no showmanship, just living life and sharing it with others. Keep it up, brother man. My kinda guy 👍🏻
I couldn't agree more! I have a handful of people I call family. They are my go to for everything. I grew up with money and things. I find I'm the happiest I've ever been right now. I have my Jeep, my camper, my gear, family, and my adventures. I find I'm the happiest when I'm out in the world exploring. I could go on more about what you just said. But just know your thoughts and feelings are not alone. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
Hey Larry! Thank you for the sit down and being open. We all have problems but a lot of us don’t express it. You’re doing the right thing. Just know what you do is bigger than you think!
I have those days. I usually just hang with my dogs and chill. That way no body gets hurt. Lol. I watch inspirational videos and escape. Your videos and a couple other TH-camrs give me peace. Thank you
Another great video with you a Mason! We all have been there with the emotional up and downs, but hang in there. I find that a lot of times for me praying for guidance is the answer. Your camping equipment is like mine, it only quits when I need it! Cheers and safe travels
Goodness, don't be so hard on yourself! Hang in there! You bring so much to others, doing what so many of us want to do but are afraid. So much of what you have said in this video is so true. You make a difference. Now, tell me how you make that coffee? Gold brew?
Oh I wasn’t being hard in myself lol, I was just explaining what I do when I get into a funk just the same as other people. I was trying to help other people, not tell people I was upset. Anyways thanks so much for watching and I plan on continuing the videos. I’m happy that my other job is finally over so I can focus more on the channel moving forward 😁🌵🙏
Very wise Larry, the outdoors seem very therapeutic for most people. Buying new stuff only is a temporary joy. Things have been weird since Covid and I see more of a need for mental health now. Thanks for the videos and ending my day on a good note!
Yeah, I have definitely noticed a change in people since Covid!! I just hope people figure things out before it gets much worse!! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video, and that it helped end your day on a good note! 🙏 😊
Great video. I'm feeling stressed out lately. Wanting to do something or go somewhere but really don't have the funds to give up to do it while my families are planning trips during the holidays it saddens me to watch them take adventures plus my mom has been passed 9 years and the holidays are no longer the same.Thank you for sharing this video it was very much needed. You seem like a really nice person and Intelligent beyond your years. Keep the videos coming there are those of us who do watch. Me and the hubby love watching you. We're up in our years seasoned but younger people seem to know more than we ever did. We're new to your channel. God Bless you and safe travels🙏❤🙏
Yeah, that has to be really hard not to be able to travel while watching everybody around you take trips around the holidays! The thing that I forgot to mention in this video was that the location I picked was intentionally boring with very basic views for the area, I wanted to bring to point that the location doesn’t really matter as long as you relax and just enjoy what you have. So even though you maybe can’t take a trip right now, maybe just spend the afternoon at a local park and just relax 🤷 I’m glad you and your husband enjoy the videos, thank you so much for watching and commenting! I hope things start looking up for you 😊 🙏
As Kenny would say "this video is in the bag", I understand where you are coming from, about bad moods! Campfire's the cure! I can't think of a better way to use a stick of butter....unless it's on popcorn!! We no longer chase the "latest, newest things". Bacon also cures a lot of things but only if it is crispy & crunchy....lol We are looking forward to the 2024 Truck Camper Rally in Quartsite, we have our tickets and are really excited as this will be our first one! We are getting our new to us Truck camper ready for our first trip, heading south for family visit & warmth. Really glad that you went the diet & exercise path, they can work wonders! Look forward to meeting you! Be safe out there!
I bet you’re excited to get on the road!! I’m really looking forward to the rally as well!! Hopefully they don’t have issues like they did last year 🤷 apparently they didn’t get the right permits for the event and it sounded like they got into some trouble!! The guy that told me tho was the guy who you had to sign in with when you enter into the area of the event…”I’m not sure how to explain who he was hahah” but anyways I’m not sure how credible he was tho either 😆 he seemed kinda like a jerk!! 😂 I just hope things go smooth this year! lol
Oh so for sure!! I don’t normally film it but I walk around and check the area before I let him out every time. Especially near dawn and dust. I would never want anything to happen to my little buddy 😊 Thank you for being concerned 🙏😊
Hey Larry love the videos! It looks like the pilot of that plane did wave at you but he did it with his wings, if you go back and watch, he rocks each wing up and down that's him waving or saying hello since you probably wouldn't be able to see his hands waving.. that was pretty cool! Keep those awesome videos coming and stay positive my man! 😊
Enjoy your meal 🤔 Hold your pup enjoy your camp fire 🔥 and for the night just grab an extra blanket write a list what needs to be fixed things will fall into place enjoy your time out there we are enjoying ourselves along with you ❤⛺🔥🪵🫶👍☺
I so understand where you're coming from brother, being in a bad mood really sucks, i know some you tubers get burnt out and they take a break, i wish you all the best my friend and i really enjoy your videos
Thanks! I think I let my anxiety get a little out of control. Trying to get this video posted on time. I legit uploaded it an hour before I posted it which is cutting it too close for me. Ha ha ha luckily moving forward my other job is over for a while so I can now relax and focus more time on the channel moving forward. Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
My friend. If I could give you any advice it would be to give yourself a little break. Things pile up on us and usually all we can do is keep our head down and stay the course and it usually gets better. I've been living through you and Kenny the last few months. Had multiple hip surgeries over the summer. Six months later I still can't walk unassisted (but I'm getting better every day now). I love to camp, bike, boatand I haven't been able to do anything but sit here. It got so depressing around labor day that i had my wife get all the firearms out of the house for awhile. It's much better now. Take heart in the fact that you are bringing joy into people's lives (especially mine) by posting these videos and getting some of us through really crappy times. Thank you my friend.
If you ask me the whole world have some type of mental issues in some form or another, Im just sayn everybody so you are not alone & you speakn out about is very very helpful 2 those who think no one else feel this way Thank You 4 your courage & honest 29:01
Hi Larry. As others have said, we have all been there so keep hanging in there and doing what YOU need to do to find your peace and comfort. I know others commented on your chicken but it did look good when it was done on your plate. At first when I saw you put it on, I immediately thought... whoa..fire is so hot and grill so close to such a hot fire that butter is definitely going to flame up! HAHAHA I do the same but when using butter and such a hot fire, do indirect cooking.. spread the hot coals around the sides and chicken in middle where chicken is not directly over the coals. Google it. Lots of cooking done that way on grills. Another good easy peasy recipe for chicken is marinating it in Italian Dressing with garlic and your choice of seasonings or Greek Dressing. :) Loved this laid back video and thanks for sharing your journey and being personal with us. :) Big tight hugs!
Hahaha thanks I’ll try the indirect heat next time for sure 😂 I actually use to make chicken marinaded in Italian dressing but sorta forgot about it!! Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!! 🙏😊
Really enjoy your videos. It takes time to build a channel, I'm learning that myself. Posted my channel 3 months ago and its hard. Just keep up the great work. Love your dog Mason, he reminds me of my Dog Wishbone who pasted in October, I had him only 13 years, But you losing Frasier after 19 years, I can't imagine the pain you are still going through, Stay strong and God Bless.
Such a cue little sidekick! True life lessons, hard to talk about but your helping yourself and your viewers by sharing your thoughts and lifestyle. hugs.
I just wanted to let you know that my 86-year-old mom discovered your channel and has been watching you for quite some time. She loves to see you and your dogs camp and travel. She cried when Frasier died. Since she has been staying at our house, we watch you together. I lived in Flagstaff for four years about 30 years ago, so have camped and seen many of the places you travel, so it is nice memories for me! Good luck to you and Mason, and we hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Oh wow thank you so much for sharing that!! I love hearing stories like this 😊!! I’m so glad that she enjoys the videos and I hope she likes tonight’s newest video!! I’m pretty excited about this video and it’s a long one!! Lol Well if you could let your Mom know I said “Hello and Thank you 🙏 “ that would be greatly appreciated. 😊⛺️🌵🏜️🔥
Hi Larry, my parents love your channel! I sat down to watch your video with them when I noticed you put a plastic Tupperware in the microwave, PLEASE DONT DO THAT. lol Glass is much safer. Also the broccoli and cheese tastes way better when you steam it outside of the plastic bag. We just want you to be safe and healthy! Keep up the good work!
I think the Video is amazing ❤Don’t worry you are doing a wonderful job!!That mason boy is a cutie pie ❤Hang in there Larry I really enjoyed watching your videos … blessings to you and the cutie pie mason❤
Larry I have to tell you that I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I love the music , your location your camping at looks wonderful. I love the way you talk to Mason and take care of him. Everybody goes through what you was talking about. It’s normal to feel like that at times and it’s ok. Life sometimes throws a wrench in and that’s ok. Keep up whatever your doing. You seem like a very kind and levelheaded guy and that’s nice. So until the next video hang in there and stay safe.
Another great video Larry....I always ask myself "Alice, do you really NEED that or do you just WANT it?" Most times I just want it and it passes. Holidays usually mess me up mood wise too. It's hard to get back to everyday things after. Love Mason especially when you talk to him and he puts his little ears up. What kind of dog is he? He's just the right size. Keep up the good work on your videos! Love watching them. Take care of yourself.
Hahaha I actually do sorta the same thing!! When I’m at the store I’ll put things in the cart and then right be fore I go check out I’ll back through everything and take out the items I don’t absolutely need 😆usually by then the excitement/ impulse is over so it’s easier to.put back haha Mason is a long haired chihuahua although a lot of people say he’s mixed with something else 🤷 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! 🙏😊
My four year dream, is to be full-timer in a truck camper, Or a class C I move just about every 3 years, I'm all about the adventures I was living on my boat on Lake Mead, in Nevada I have traveled from California to Japan, Scotland UK and back to Japan, I'm currently living in a little cabin on lake Taneycomo in the Ozarks. I'm just a gypsy at 💜 heart. I love watching You and Mason! Keep up the great Adventures!
That sounds like a great plan! So you live in the lake of the Ozarks? I grew up in Missouri and love the Ozarks! Plus I’ve always wanted to go to Japan! Seems like you’re living a pretty good life so far! Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
Even when you're retired there are challenges. Things still break, things stop working, people get sick or have an accident. Its even more of a challenge once you are not working and on a fixed income. I used to love to go camping but since my husbands medical problems he snores like a bear. I am either awake all night or sleep on the couch. Either way I am ill the next day. Not so enjoyable anymore. Hope you get to enjoy for many more years! Love your videos. I get to camp without the snoring! Lol
Hey Larry. New to your channel and loving it! It's way too easy to let go of the stuff that actually helps us manage our daily stress, leading to more stress & contributing to our discontent. The title of your channel is what drew me & says it all. Thanks for sharing. ❤ Know you're not alone. 😊
I had such a hard time titling this video and making a thumbnail so it makes me happy to hear that it seems to be doing its job. Ha ha ha. Thank you so much for checking out the channel and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏😊
Hola Larry, Hello Mason! My hubby and I are new to your channel, we are so enjoying your adventures. We are in Surprise Az. Hope some day soon we can meet you both! We pray for your safety and that stubborn generator ❤. See ya on the next one!
@@user-ou4gz2pg4d oh wow hello fellow Arizonan!! I’m sure we will meet up someday! I definitely plan on doing some meet ups in the future! So far my only plans are to be at the 2024 truck camper rally in Quartzsite Arizona so if anybody wants to meet me they can come to that! I think it’s in February
Larry your videos are a breath of fresh air. I love them and hope to get out there next year.😄😄😄😄 If you're still looking for a knob for your range go to Atwood Wedgwood stove parts they sell the knobs pretty cheap hope that helps.
Mason is not stupid he wants you to hand feed him, 😅. Watching your videos allows me to go places I can't now. 2 years ago my husband had sepsis throughout his body, almost lost him. Now he's paralyzed from the rib cage down, and now I'm taking care of him, so enjoy life to the best you can and keep the video coming for the people who can't get out there themselves.
This was wonderful! Love the music and western font you used! Your time of reflection was also lovely! Your such a positive guy! And as always Mason was adorable. Keep up the great work, looking forward to your next video ❤️.
You are killing it Larry! Cut yourself some slack, give little Mason lots of lovings, do what makes you thrive and go get a massage! it puts you back to present! Thanks again for another great video! 💋💋💋 for Mason! If I was younger, kisses for you too 😂
@@tinamiller5177 wow thank you for that comment! Honestly, my anxiety gets worked up before filming each one of these videos, because so much goes into them and of course I want each video to be great! I have sort of been like this, my entire life, which is a blessing and a curse! I’m always driving to be better But never quite good enough. Ha ha ha. 😂 Seriously though thank you for watching and for that comment and I’ll give Mason plenty of hugs and kisses for you. Ha ha ha.
I love how in tune you are with your emotions that’s SO beautiful 🤩 it’s very inspiring yes 👍 and lots of good sleep 😴 have a cheat day mine is on Sunday with the grandkids ❤
That chicken is nowhere near a train wreck. Most restaurants will spray oil on the coals to make it flame up and that makes the chicken taste much better. I bet it will taste fantastic!
Next time, place aluminum foil on the grill. Put the chicken on the foil. This will help stop the flaming up. As far as the generator goes, be sure to always use Ethanol Free Gas and add Sea Foam to every gallon of gas. Keep spare spark plugs with you. Change the oil every 50 hours and use synthetic oil. Same fuel tips for your boat.
I don’t know what I do if I didn’t have my dog because when I get home even if I’m irritated or upset about some thing, I am so happy to see her and she’s happy to see me. And that changes me. But God really helps me.
Arizona looks beautiful thru your lense. I went years ago to Yuma and didn’t like it, so dang hot! I am dying to know if your chicken had a buttery taste, and I love my bacon crisp too! I’m glad you have found camping to cheer yourself
Awww no you definitely went to the wrong part of Arizona!! It’s super hot down there!! Arizona seems to have almost every type of weather and landscape!! It’s honestly my favorite state!! So I noticed that the butter I use is 98% butter fat so I assume that may have caused the extra flames 😂 🤷 which ended up not even causing any issues with the final product lol. But yes the chicken was buttery tasting and those other three ingredients make chicken and beef taste like it’s from a 5 star restaurant!! 😋 Thanks so much for commenting and I hope that helps 🙏😊
This my first comment I have made to you. I look forward to seeing you every week good or bad. #1 chicken...try to wrap in foil and cook on coals, could even add the broccoli to the foil pack. Or baste the chicken instead of trying to marinate. Some times the blackened crispness are best. About singing the blues... I get you. My philosophy is ODAT...one day at a time. Be good to yourself, do one thing a day just for you. Most everyone gets off-track over the holidays. Hope you enjoyed good food and friends guilt free. Back to basics my friend. Whole foods, try spray butter. Grilled veggies are awesome. See you next week
Awesome, thank you for commenting! That is a great idea about the aluminum foil! I will definitely try that next time and I’m not sure why I didn’t think about doing the broccoli that way too ha ha ha.
Good evening from Godley Texas, grilled chicken always tastes good even with a few minor issues. Maybe next time, just baste the chicken each time you turn it. Or have coals on one end and cool area on other end to move chicken to. Finding a balance between work and pleasure has plagued mankind since the beginning of civilization. Do what you enjoy to clear the mind and soul. Life is good. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
Hey John, 👋 sorry I’ve been slacking on the comments lately ha ha ha. I’m back at them now though 😂 I definitely wish it was easier to have a work like balance!!
I JUST WANT TO CUDDLE WITH THAT LITTLE LOVE BUG.THOSE EARS...AWWWW CAN MASON BE ANY CUTER?!!?🐶 I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING WHILE YOU'RE COOKING THAT CHICKEN HE IS SOOOOO SWEET.....I WANT HIM! LOL
Take care of yourself first Mr Larry. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your adventures. My truck camper sits on a 1996 F250 7.3L. I would like a new truck but wouldn’t like the 90k price.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! Yeah, trucks are getting ridiculously priced these days! I plan on keeping my truck until I either rebuild the engine in 20 years or haul it to the salvage yard ha ha ha.
Your words speak volumes. A great talk annnnd at least you weren’t in WINSLOW so you didn’t have to whisper 😂. Seriously though, less is more for sure. Great points you made. You are taking the steps to be living the life of freedom from obligations. Keep on keepin’ on and soon you will look back at this video and think WOW that was then but THIS is now and it’s fantastic!! Oh and I would like to add that to a lot of people you are already living the dream. Your videos get better and better and your channel just keeps growing. Way to go, I’m always in your cheer corner rooting for ya, 🎉 go Larry, go Larry! 🎉 P.S. Crispy Bacon 🥓 for life yo!!
You have no idea how much I really appreciate how much time you put into your comments and how positive and refreshing they are to read! Thank you so much for saying all that! 🙏😊
Team crispy bacon for the win! The thing I love about your videos is that they show your persistence - you arent afraid to show that you are a normal human being striving for happiness in a non-perfect world! I cracked up at you struggling with the chacoal bag, because that is ME everytime 😂. Thanks for sharing who you are....and another good video...
I have to say, I think there are quite a few people that think like you. I keep my expenses low and work for a couple years and bank everything, then I take off for a few years. I have spent the last couple years taking care of my 90yr old step-dad. Eventually I will be back out in a camper running the world...
Thank you for the great video. Life gets too peoplely sometimes. Nature always helps me get centered again or as much as I can 😂. And I’m in the crunchy bacon team ❤
Nice relaxing video there Larry. Sometimes we do just to stop (Hammertime) and kick back, relax and recharge/reset ourselves…nothing wrong with that at all! Bacon, well, bacon is bacon…good no matter if crispy or a bit on the floppy side…just depends on the mood du jour! Anyways, thank you letting us tag along As always, stay safe out there…..
Hi Larry, next time move your charcoal to one side, let chicken cook from heat of charcoals and smoke on the other side to prevent burning. Enjoy, that chicken looks good.
From the best of my knowledge, Mason is a long-haired Chihuahua although I’ve been told by many people that he seems to have something else mixed in with him 🤷 Thank you very much for watching, and for commenting! 🙏 😊
Fourteen minutes in, yes ya let the flames lick that chicken. You wanna cook that meat without doing that. You can even wrap em in foil and just cook them in the camp fire if ya want. Chicken is actually one of the toughest things to cook properly, along with fish, crab and oysters. Sometimes, I will put large chicken pieces in a pyrex bowl, and bake it at 300 degrees for 30 minutes BEFORE taking it to the grill. Does a great job. If it is raining, you can cut it into smaller strips and use a Foreman grill to cook it up.
Hey Larry..I seen your channel about 530 this morning and me and my dogs have yet to turn it off. With the exception of having to go to work that is . I have to tell you your vids are the absolute best man and that Mason..lol he steals the show everytime he looks in the cam! Lolol keep this up Lar. Your without question helping alot of people with your words of encouragement and positivity. You have the art of communication so u need to keep using that. Can't wait to watch all your vids and can't wait to get our merch! We'll be joining soon so we'll be sure to take somethings off the wish list and get em to you and Mason! Talk soon buddy👍
Oh wow thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I’ll keep making g them every week. I post on Tuesday evenings. I really appreciate the kind words and the support!! Thank you very much for watching 🙏😊
Just be grateful for what you have that you have a vehicle that you have a place to actually stay in if you need to. And you have your dogs or dog which ever
There are people that do it with kids all the time! Homeschooling probably isn’t a bad thing nowadays 🤣 Either way, I hope you get to live out your dream one day! It is totally changed my life and I would recommend it to anybody 😊 Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
Should not be microwaving plastic. Can get into the food. Molecules. Check for an old Corning dish or Pyrex at a thrift store. Healthier. Got mine at the Christmas bell ringers (not sure if I can use their name).
I love how you love Mason! It's exactly how I treat all the animals I'm privileged to take care of.
Oh yeah, I love animals! I try to make sure Mason has the most comfortable best life he can have! 😂 🐶

So true! 🥰🙏

Warning the powers that be don't care about what we want. Oprah said we can't be happy all the time. We should be creating "happierness" which is when life gives you lemons make lemonade.
No doubt we each have to find the correct balance in our life.
One thing I'm sure that we in this group can agree on: sitting by a campfire is relaxing for the soul.
Your vids are well shot and edited, very enjoyable to watch. Mason is such a great little buddy.
I definitely agree with you on the campfire! Thank you so much for the compliments on the videos and I’m glad that you enjoy them! Thank you so much for watching 😊 🙏
Great comment. I agree.
Brother I couldn't agree with you more. We all need to stop being consumed by the things that society expects us to have or by doing the things society dictates we should be doing. As someone struggling with Anxiety & Depression (badly) I greatly appreciate your candid honesty. Been "stuck" at home for the better part of a year and not nearly doing as well as you. Keep doing what you do my friend. You're helping many of us get by and get BETTER. Thank you!
Not nearly doing as well as me? I have a friend that describes me as a person who videotapes my homelessness 😂 I think it’s all a matter of perspective. 🤷
Anyways, I have struggled with anxiety and depression, my whole life and has always been on medication for it. I’m proud to say though, I am officially off all my medication as of a couple months ago but that’s all due to diet and exercise 🤷
I hope things get better for you in the near future and until then thank you very much for watching my videos! I’m glad you enjoy them 🙏 😊
🙏
Here's a great big cyber hug for you and a reminder that none of us is perfect. 🥰
Personally, I think you're doing things right. I'm new to your channel, but from what I've seen so far, I'd be doing it just the same. Working a little and resetting my mental health whenever I can. My current situation doesn't allow me that possibility. The difference is that I'm a single 57 year old female. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel alone in the middle of nowhere. I watch you drive through the desert on fairly deserted roads. I'm not sure what I would do if I broke down out there. I'm not talking about a flat tire or other miner issues. That much I can handle on my own, but an actual breakdown. I'd definitely have to have great cell service to be able to call assistance.
Me and my dog (Sophia, goldendoodle, by the way) we would love this lifestyle and would be just fine.
P.s. Bacon Crispy is the only way to eat it and not gag😂
Secret I learned from an old timer! Boil the chicken first!
I like my bacon slightly crunchy. It's all good anyway.
Mason is a great companion for you. He's a sweetie!
Dogfood is mostly not nutritional as it is cooked at high heat. You might try Sundays dog food. It's supposed to be more nutritious.
Crunchy crunchy crunchy!!! Gotta spoil our fur babies!!!
Oh yeah you gotta spoiled them babies 😂
Got a kitty I hand feed treats. BTW is Mason chipped? Could be life or death if he wanders off or worse. Vets and rescuers always check for them. Not terribly expensive and so life saving.
Good health … and a good dog!!
Mason makes me think our little Chiwaia (sp) has be hand fed too his name “Trouble” but he short haired…
I am new to this channel. I am not a camper but these videos are addictive. I love the education in some videos, about the history of towns, and your cooking looks amazing. I find myself hungry. Your breakfast is out of this world. I love Mason!!!!
Oh wow that’s awesome! Welcome aboard! I’m glad you enjoy the videos 😊 thank you so much for watching. 🙏
Agree health is everything. I am 80 and practiced good habits but still now I have physical challenges - but what if I had not practiced good diet, exercise and positive attitude! So do all you can today, will appreciate it at older age. Getting older may be a challenge but it does have its perks. In a lot of ways, life is better. 🎉
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We enjoy going camping with you !!!
Texas🇨🇱
Hello Larry, I been there with not being happy. I lost my husband 4 years ago, and I never thought I would be happy again, Out of the blue I met a great guy who is the love of my life. He too had a loss as well, I think out of the blue it will happen to you. U need a camping partner. Love your videos and little Mason too. Keep smiling and keepem coming!!!!
You might be right on the camping partner, but I’m definitely not in a rush right now ha ha ha. Just having my buddy Mason with me is more than enough!
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, but I am happy for you that you found your happiness 😊 thank you so much for watching! 🙏
You’re not alone, keep those positive people around. You seem to have the right people and know what to do. Love your videos, and love Mason too!❤❤
Thank you so much!😊
Hey Larry, I started watching your channel about a month ago and really have been thoroughly enjoying it. I just wanted to thank you for simply being yourself on camera. I can tell that there’s no showmanship, just living life and sharing it with others. Keep it up, brother man. My kinda guy 👍🏻
Randy I want to thank you for that comment. It makes me the happiest person in the world hearing something like that! Seriously, Thank you 🙂
Agree. This channel shows what I’d like to do full time in retirement. Great job Larry.
I just started binge watching today. I never saw your blogs before but I will continue watching. Thank you for your content.
I couldn't agree more! I have a handful of people I call family. They are my go to for everything. I grew up with money and things. I find I'm the happiest I've ever been right now. I have my Jeep, my camper, my gear, family, and my adventures. I find I'm the happiest when I'm out in the world exploring. I could go on more about what you just said. But just know your thoughts and feelings are not alone. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that 🙏 😊
@@worklessenjoylifemore 🩷
I notice you are good about not eating carbs
I sure try 😂 thank you for watching!
Hey Larry! Thank you for the sit down and being open. We all have problems but a lot of us don’t express it. You’re doing the right thing. Just know what you do is bigger than you think!
Oh wow thank you so much for this!! I hope it helps some people!!
Thanks 🙏 😊
Agree. Great comment.
I have those days. I usually just hang with my dogs and chill. That way no body gets hurt. Lol. I watch inspirational videos and escape. Your videos and a couple other TH-camrs give me peace. Thank you
Wow, thank you for that bit of information! 😊I’m glad that you enjoyed the videos 🤙
Another great video with you a Mason!
We all have been there with the emotional up and downs, but hang in there. I find that a lot of times for me praying for guidance is the answer.
Your camping equipment is like mine, it only quits when I need it!
Cheers and safe travels
Goodness, don't be so hard on yourself! Hang in there! You bring so much to others, doing what so many of us want to do but are afraid. So much of what you have said in this video is so true. You make a difference.
Now, tell me how you make that coffee? Gold brew?
Oh I wasn’t being hard in myself lol, I was just explaining what I do when I get into a funk just the same as other people. I was trying to help other people, not tell people I was upset. Anyways thanks so much for watching and I plan on continuing the videos. I’m happy that my other job is finally over so I can focus more on the channel moving forward 😁🌵🙏
where can I get that Gold coffee brew?@@worklessenjoylifemore
Very wise Larry, the outdoors seem very therapeutic for most people. Buying new stuff only is a temporary joy. Things have been weird since Covid and I see more of a need for mental health now. Thanks for the videos and ending my day on a good note!
Yeah, I have definitely noticed a change in people since Covid!! I just hope people figure things out before it gets much worse!! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video, and that it helped end your day on a good note! 🙏 😊
The plane pilot did say hi. He didn’t wave, but if you pay attention, you’ll see him tip his wing. His way of saying hi
Great video. I'm feeling stressed out lately. Wanting to do something or go somewhere but really don't have the funds to give up to do it while my families are planning trips during the holidays it saddens me to watch them take adventures plus my mom has been passed 9 years and the holidays are no longer the same.Thank you for sharing this video it was very much needed. You seem like a really nice person and Intelligent beyond your years. Keep the videos coming there are those of us who do watch. Me and the hubby love watching you. We're up in our years seasoned but younger people seem to know more than we ever did. We're new to your channel. God Bless you and safe travels🙏❤🙏
Yeah, that has to be really hard not to be able to travel while watching everybody around you take trips around the holidays! The thing that I forgot to mention in this video was that the location I picked was intentionally boring with very basic views for the area, I wanted to bring to point that the location doesn’t really matter as long as you relax and just enjoy what you have. So even though you maybe can’t take a trip right now, maybe just spend the afternoon at a local park and just relax 🤷
I’m glad you and your husband enjoy the videos, thank you so much for watching and commenting! I hope things start looking up for you 😊 🙏
As Kenny would say "this video is in the bag", I understand where you are coming from, about bad moods! Campfire's the cure! I can't think of a better way to use a stick of butter....unless it's on popcorn!! We no longer chase the "latest, newest things". Bacon also cures a lot of things but only if it is crispy & crunchy....lol We are looking forward to the 2024 Truck Camper Rally in Quartsite, we have our tickets and are really excited as this will be our first one! We are getting our new to us Truck camper ready for our first trip, heading south for family visit & warmth. Really glad that you went the diet & exercise path, they can work wonders! Look forward to meeting you! Be safe out there!
I bet you’re excited to get on the road!! I’m really looking forward to the rally as well!! Hopefully they don’t have issues like they did last year 🤷 apparently they didn’t get the right permits for the event and it sounded like they got into some trouble!! The guy that told me tho was the guy who you had to sign in with when you enter into the area of the event…”I’m not sure how to explain who he was hahah” but anyways I’m not sure how credible he was tho either 😆 he seemed kinda like a jerk!! 😂 I just hope things go smooth this year! lol
Crunchy
Please keep an eye out for predators that might want to attack Mason. He's little. And I love him. 🩷💓💕❤️❣️
Oh so for sure!! I don’t normally film it but I walk around and check the area before I let him out every time. Especially near dawn and dust. I would never want anything to happen to my little buddy 😊
Thank you for being concerned 🙏😊
Hey Larry love the videos! It looks like the pilot of that plane did wave at you but he did it with his wings, if you go back and watch, he rocks each wing up and down that's him waving or saying hello since you probably wouldn't be able to see his hands waving.. that was pretty cool! Keep those awesome videos coming and stay positive my man! 😊
Oh that’s awesome I’m gonna have to go check that out again in the video with the wings! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🙏 😊
Enjoy your meal 🤔 Hold your pup enjoy your camp fire 🔥 and for the night just grab an extra blanket write a list what needs to be fixed things will fall into place enjoy your time out there we are enjoying ourselves along with you ❤⛺🔥🪵🫶👍☺
I so understand where you're coming from brother, being in a bad mood really sucks, i know some you tubers get burnt out and they take a break, i wish you all the best my friend and i really enjoy your videos
Thanks! I think I let my anxiety get a little out of control. Trying to get this video posted on time. I legit uploaded it an hour before I posted it which is cutting it too close for me. Ha ha ha luckily moving forward my other job is over for a while so I can now relax and focus more time on the channel moving forward. Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
My friend. If I could give you any advice it would be to give yourself a little break. Things pile up on us and usually all we can do is keep our head down and stay the course and it usually gets better. I've been living through you and Kenny the last few months. Had multiple hip surgeries over the summer. Six months later I still can't walk unassisted (but I'm getting better every day now). I love to camp, bike, boatand I haven't been able to do anything but sit here. It got so depressing around labor day that i had my wife get all the firearms out of the house for awhile. It's much better now. Take heart in the fact that you are bringing joy into people's lives (especially mine) by posting these videos and getting some of us through really crappy times. Thank you my friend.
My trick is to wrap the chicken in tin foil for a certain amount of time and then remove it and brown it up for the finally.
If you ask me the whole world have some type of mental issues in some form or another, Im just sayn everybody so you are not alone & you speakn out about is very very helpful 2 those who think no one else feel this way Thank You 4 your courage & honest 29:01
Hi Larry. As others have said, we have all been there so keep hanging in there and doing what YOU need to do to find your peace and comfort. I know others commented on your chicken but it did look good when it was done on your plate. At first when I saw you put it on, I immediately thought... whoa..fire is so hot and grill so close to such a hot fire that butter is definitely going to flame up! HAHAHA I do the same but when using butter and such a hot fire, do indirect cooking.. spread the hot coals around the sides and chicken in middle where chicken is not directly over the coals. Google it. Lots of cooking done that way on grills. Another good easy peasy recipe for chicken is marinating it in Italian Dressing with garlic and your choice of seasonings or Greek Dressing. :) Loved this laid back video and thanks for sharing your journey and being personal with us. :) Big tight hugs!
Hahaha thanks I’ll try the indirect heat next time for sure 😂
I actually use to make chicken marinaded in Italian dressing but sorta forgot about it!! Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!! 🙏😊
Im loving the intro music!!!❤
Thanks, Larry for be you!
You and Mason, make my days.
Hope to see you guys soon, out there on the best side. In do time!
Thanks, Michael
Oh wow, thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the videos, and thank you for the compliment 😊
Really enjoy your videos. It takes time to build a channel, I'm learning that myself. Posted my channel 3 months ago and its hard. Just keep up the great work. Love your dog Mason, he reminds me of my Dog Wishbone who pasted in October, I had him only 13 years, But you losing Frasier after 19 years, I can't imagine the pain you are still going through, Stay strong and God Bless.
Ain't nothing wrong with a good char on any grilled meat! And the seasoned butter was a great idea, kiddo! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Such a cue little sidekick! True life lessons, hard to talk about but your helping yourself and your viewers by sharing your thoughts and lifestyle. hugs.
I just wanted to let you know that my 86-year-old mom discovered your channel and has been watching you for quite some time. She loves to see you and your dogs camp and travel. She cried when Frasier died. Since she has been staying at our house, we watch you together. I lived in Flagstaff for four years about 30 years ago, so have camped and seen many of the places you travel, so it is nice memories for me! Good luck to you and Mason, and we hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Oh wow thank you so much for sharing that!! I love hearing stories like this 😊!! I’m so glad that she enjoys the videos and I hope she likes tonight’s newest video!! I’m pretty excited about this video and it’s a long one!! Lol
Well if you could let your Mom know I said “Hello and Thank you 🙏 “ that would be greatly appreciated. 😊⛺️🌵🏜️🔥
@@worklessenjoylifemore My Mom, Kathleen, says "you forgot to tell him that I enjoyed the ghost hunting, too!" Haha.
Hi Larry, my parents love your channel! I sat down to watch your video with them when I noticed you put a plastic Tupperware in the microwave, PLEASE DONT DO THAT. lol Glass is much safer. Also the broccoli and cheese tastes way better when you steam it outside of the plastic bag.
We just want you to be safe and healthy! Keep up the good work!
I think the Video is amazing ❤Don’t worry you are doing a wonderful job!!That mason boy is a cutie pie ❤Hang in there Larry I really enjoyed watching your videos … blessings to you and the cutie pie mason❤
Wow, thank you so much for that comment!! 🙏🤗
Thank you for watching!
Larry I have to tell you that I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! I love the music , your location your camping at looks wonderful. I love the way you talk to Mason and take care of him. Everybody goes through what you was talking about. It’s normal to feel like that at times and it’s ok. Life sometimes throws a wrench in and that’s ok. Keep up whatever your doing. You seem like a very kind and levelheaded guy and that’s nice. So until the next video hang in there and stay safe.
Another great video Larry....I always ask myself "Alice, do you really NEED that or do you just WANT it?" Most times I just want it and it passes. Holidays usually mess me up mood wise too. It's hard to get back to everyday things after. Love Mason especially when you talk to him and he puts his little ears up. What kind of dog is he? He's just the right size. Keep up the good work on your videos! Love watching them. Take care of yourself.
Hahaha I actually do sorta the same thing!! When I’m at the store I’ll put things in the cart and then right be fore I go check out I’ll back through everything and take out the items I don’t absolutely need 😆usually by then the excitement/ impulse is over so it’s easier to.put back haha
Mason is a long haired chihuahua although a lot of people say he’s mixed with something else 🤷
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! 🙏😊
My four year dream, is to be full-timer in a truck camper, Or a class C
I move just about every 3 years, I'm all about the adventures
I was living on my boat on Lake Mead, in Nevada
I have traveled from California to Japan, Scotland UK and back to Japan,
I'm currently living in a little cabin on lake Taneycomo in the Ozarks.
I'm just a gypsy at 💜 heart.
I love watching You and Mason!
Keep up the great Adventures!
That sounds like a great plan! So you live in the lake of the Ozarks? I grew up in Missouri and love the Ozarks! Plus I’ve always wanted to go to Japan! Seems like you’re living a pretty good life so far! Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
I've been through the same, Larry. Always look towards the bright side! Much respect to you!
Nice video, hope all is well. Glad you have Mason to make you smile. Stay positive! You make a lot of people happy with your videos!
Even when you're retired there are challenges. Things still break, things stop working, people get sick or have an accident. Its even more of a challenge once you are not working and on a fixed income. I used to love to go camping but since my husbands medical problems he snores like a bear. I am either awake all night or sleep on the couch. Either way I am ill the next day. Not so enjoyable anymore. Hope you get to enjoy for many more years! Love your videos. I get to camp without the snoring! Lol
Hey Larry. New to your channel and loving it! It's way too easy to let go of the stuff that actually helps us manage our daily stress, leading to more stress & contributing to our discontent. The title of your channel is what drew me & says it all. Thanks for sharing. ❤ Know you're not alone. 😊
I had such a hard time titling this video and making a thumbnail so it makes me happy to hear that it seems to be doing its job. Ha ha ha.
Thank you so much for checking out the channel and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏😊
Hola Larry, Hello Mason! My hubby and I are new to your channel, we are so enjoying your adventures. We are in Surprise Az. Hope some day soon we can meet you both!
We pray for your safety and that stubborn generator ❤.
See ya on the next one!
@@user-ou4gz2pg4d oh wow hello fellow Arizonan!! I’m sure we will meet up someday! I definitely plan on doing some meet ups in the future! So far my only plans are to be at the 2024 truck camper rally in Quartzsite Arizona so if anybody wants to meet me they can come to that! I think it’s in February
Well said. We have your back Larry. You make great content.
@@theathjr hey awesome thanks so much! 🤙
Larry your videos are a breath of fresh air. I love them and hope to get out there next year.😄😄😄😄 If you're still looking for a knob for your range go to Atwood Wedgwood stove parts they sell the knobs pretty cheap hope that helps.
Mason is not stupid he wants you to hand feed him, 😅. Watching your videos allows me to go places I can't now. 2 years ago my husband had sepsis throughout his body, almost lost him. Now he's paralyzed from the rib cage down, and now I'm taking care of him, so enjoy life to the best you can and keep the video coming for the people who can't get out there themselves.
This was wonderful! Love the music and western font you used! Your time of reflection was also lovely! Your such a positive guy! And as always Mason was adorable. Keep up the great work, looking forward to your next video ❤️.
Thank you so much! 😊🙏
You are killing it Larry! Cut yourself some slack, give little Mason lots of lovings, do what makes you thrive and go get a massage! it puts you back to present! Thanks again for another great video!
💋💋💋 for Mason!
If I was younger, kisses for you too 😂
@@tinamiller5177 wow thank you for that comment! Honestly, my anxiety gets worked up before filming each one of these videos, because so much goes into them and of course I want each video to be great! I have sort of been like this, my entire life, which is a blessing and a curse! I’m always driving to be better But never quite good enough. Ha ha ha. 😂
Seriously though thank you for watching and for that comment and I’ll give Mason plenty of hugs and kisses for you. Ha ha ha.
Hang in there don't be so hard on yourself!! Just take in nature!! It's beautiful out there!!
TY for shopping Walmart! I work there in OHIO..Been there for 26 years..
I’m confused? 🫤
@@worklessenjoylifemore I noticed most of your food is bought from there is all. Lol
@@user-ty9lb2uq7d oh yeah duh 🙄 I didn’t even think about that haha!! Hey they have great prices!! Thank you 🙏
Don't pet the sweaty stuff and don't sweat the petty stuff
You got this.
Great video BTW 👍👍
I love how in tune you are with your emotions that’s SO beautiful 🤩 it’s very inspiring yes 👍 and lots of good sleep 😴 have a cheat day mine is on Sunday with the grandkids ❤
That chicken is nowhere near a train wreck. Most restaurants will spray oil on the coals to make it flame up and that makes the chicken taste much better. I bet it will taste fantastic!
It did taste pretty good! 😊 lol
Next time, place aluminum foil on the grill. Put the chicken on the foil. This will help stop the flaming up.
As far as the generator goes, be sure to always use Ethanol Free Gas and add Sea Foam to every gallon of gas.
Keep spare spark plugs with you.
Change the oil every 50 hours and use synthetic oil.
Same fuel tips for your boat.
Thanks for the tips! 🙏😊
I don’t know what I do if I didn’t have my dog because when I get home even if I’m irritated or upset about some thing, I am so happy to see her and she’s happy to see me. And that changes me. But God really helps me.
Mason is happiest when he’s sleeping in your lap. Oh yes and when he gets you to feed him one morsel at a time 😂😂
Arizona looks beautiful thru your lense. I went years ago to Yuma and didn’t like it, so dang hot! I am dying to know if your chicken had a buttery taste, and I love my bacon crisp too! I’m glad you have found camping to cheer yourself
Awww no you definitely went to the wrong part of Arizona!! It’s super hot down there!! Arizona seems to have almost every type of weather and landscape!! It’s honestly my favorite state!!
So I noticed that the butter I use is 98% butter fat so I assume that may have caused the extra flames 😂 🤷 which ended up not even causing any issues with the final product lol. But yes the chicken was buttery tasting and those other three ingredients make chicken and beef taste like it’s from a 5 star restaurant!! 😋
Thanks so much for commenting and I hope that helps 🙏😊
This my first comment I have made to you. I look forward to seeing you every week good or bad.
#1 chicken...try to wrap in foil and cook on coals, could even add the broccoli to the foil pack. Or baste the chicken instead of trying to marinate. Some times the blackened crispness are best.
About singing the blues... I get you. My philosophy is ODAT...one day at a time. Be good to yourself, do one thing a day just for you. Most everyone gets off-track over the holidays. Hope you enjoyed good food and friends guilt free. Back to basics my friend. Whole foods, try spray butter. Grilled veggies are awesome.
See you next week
Awesome, thank you for commenting! That is a great idea about the aluminum foil! I will definitely try that next time and I’m not sure why I didn’t think about doing the broccoli that way too ha ha ha.
Good evening from Godley Texas, grilled chicken always tastes good even with a few minor issues. Maybe next time, just baste the chicken each time you turn it. Or have coals on one end and cool area on other end to move chicken to. Finding a balance between work and pleasure has plagued mankind since the beginning of civilization. Do what you enjoy to clear the mind and soul. Life is good. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
Hey John, 👋 sorry I’ve been slacking on the comments lately ha ha ha. I’m back at them now though 😂
I definitely wish it was easier to have a work like balance!!
I JUST WANT TO CUDDLE WITH THAT LITTLE LOVE BUG.THOSE EARS...AWWWW CAN MASON BE ANY CUTER?!!?🐶
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING WHILE YOU'RE COOKING THAT CHICKEN
HE IS SOOOOO SWEET.....I WANT HIM! LOL
Merry Christmas Larry! Awesome job setting up the lights. Enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you very much 🙏
What you said about eating right and get enough sleep is so true… take care of yourself 🙌
Thanks, will do! Thank you for watching. 🙏 😊
Got a cat like him. Is he chipped? Should be for his own safety.
Take care of yourself first Mr Larry. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your adventures. My truck camper sits on a 1996 F250 7.3L. I would like a new truck but wouldn’t like the 90k price.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! Yeah, trucks are getting ridiculously priced these days! I plan on keeping my truck until I either rebuild the engine in 20 years or haul it to the salvage yard ha ha ha.
I’ve been sitting here working playing TH-cam in the background. You have the calmest speaking voice- so relaxing!
Thank you 😊
BTW.....we like our bacon crunchy!
Take care.
Hang in there Larry I'm with you all the way.
Your words speak volumes. A great talk annnnd at least you weren’t in WINSLOW so you didn’t have to whisper 😂. Seriously though, less is more for sure. Great points you made. You are taking the steps to be living the life of freedom from obligations. Keep on keepin’ on and soon you will look back at this video and think WOW that was then but THIS is now and it’s fantastic!! Oh and I would like to add that to a lot of people you are already living the dream. Your videos get better and better and your channel just keeps growing. Way to go, I’m always in your cheer corner rooting for ya, 🎉 go Larry, go Larry! 🎉 P.S. Crispy Bacon 🥓 for life yo!!
You have no idea how much I really appreciate how much time you put into your comments and how positive and refreshing they are to read! Thank you so much for saying all that! 🙏😊
Best way the camp...Alone......No strangers and noise.....Nice tag for your attack Dog...Sweet dog.............Thanks....................JB.....
Team crispy bacon for the win! The thing I love about your videos is that they show your persistence - you arent afraid to show that you are a normal human being striving for happiness in a non-perfect world! I cracked up at you struggling with the chacoal bag, because that is ME everytime 😂. Thanks for sharing who you are....and another good video...
That was a very relaxing video . Your very human Man . Be safe , Peace
Thank you I really appreciate that! 😊 thank you so much for watching and commenting. 🙏
I have to say, I think there are quite a few people that think like you. I keep my expenses low and work for a couple years and bank everything, then I take off for a few years. I have spent the last couple years taking care of my 90yr old step-dad. Eventually I will be back out in a camper running the world...
Thank you for the great video. Life gets too peoplely sometimes. Nature always helps me get centered again or as much as I can 😂. And I’m in the crunchy bacon team ❤
Nice relaxing video there Larry. Sometimes we do just to stop (Hammertime) and kick back, relax and recharge/reset ourselves…nothing wrong with that at all!
Bacon, well, bacon is bacon…good no matter if crispy or a bit on the floppy side…just depends on the mood du jour!
Anyways, thank you letting us tag along
As always, stay safe out there…..
Hey Mike 👋 sorry I’ve been slacking on replying to comments lately 😆 . Hope you’re doing well?
@@worklessenjoylifemore No worries Larry, I know you have a full plate of late! All is well here sir! Hope you and Mason had a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Larry, next time move your charcoal to one side, let chicken cook from heat of charcoals and smoke on the other side to prevent burning. Enjoy, that chicken looks good.
Mason your daddy spoiling you. You deserve spoiling good boy.
Hi Larry, wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
Awww wow thank you!! I hope you have a Merry Christmas too!! 🎄
That is sound advice!
Thanks for another amazing video from yourself and Mason!
I love going camping and being out in the woods. I find peace in God’s creation. Love your videos God bless you brother Amen 🙏
I actually like my bacon raw!!!!❤❤
NO COMMENTS in return on how bad that is for me!!!😂😂
Mason isn't spoiled. You're just trained really well. LOL.
Definitely agree with crunchy bacon. The best!
Mason is cute, spoiled and smart. What breed is he ?
From the best of my knowledge, Mason is a long-haired Chihuahua although I’ve been told by many people that he seems to have something else mixed in with him 🤷
Thank you very much for watching, and for commenting! 🙏 😊
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. You with that chicken.
😂
You getting the fire started and opening the chicken had me rolling!!🤣🤣🤣
Just do what you can do don't stress another day tomorrow. Life is too short, enjoy your videos!
Thanks! I try not to stress, but sometimes my anxiety gets all worked up ha ha ha 😂
Fourteen minutes in, yes ya let the flames lick that chicken. You wanna cook that meat without doing that. You can even wrap em in foil and just cook them in the camp fire if ya want. Chicken is actually one of the toughest things to cook properly, along with fish, crab and oysters. Sometimes, I will put large chicken pieces in a pyrex bowl, and bake it at 300 degrees for 30 minutes BEFORE taking it to the grill. Does a great job. If it is raining, you can cut it into smaller strips and use a Foreman grill to cook it up.
Hey Larry..I seen your channel about 530 this morning and me and my dogs have yet to turn it off. With the exception of having to go to work that is .

Oh wow thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I’ll keep making g them every week. I post on Tuesday evenings.
I really appreciate the kind words and the support!!
Thank you very much for watching 🙏😊
Just be grateful for what you have that you have a vehicle that you have a place to actually stay in if you need to. And you have your dogs or dog which ever
I want to live on the road in a camper so bad. I guess when my kids are grown i will attempt it. Thanks for the videos, i enjoy the content.
There are people that do it with kids all the time! Homeschooling probably isn’t a bad thing nowadays 🤣
Either way, I hope you get to live out your dream one day! It is totally changed my life and I would recommend it to anybody 😊
Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
Should not be microwaving plastic. Can get into the food. Molecules. Check for an old Corning dish or Pyrex at a thrift store. Healthier. Got mine at the Christmas bell ringers (not sure if I can use their name).
Awe...Mason loves his Dad! It shows what kinda heart you have by the way you take care of Mason 🐕
Thank you, 🙏 🥰
