Thank you..
Precious family!
We have an RV and I used to make a reservation for everything. Now we really enjoy boondocking and rarely make a reservation. Usually, we pick a place that we can hang during the day, a park, a lake, river... Then if we can't find a spot tp camp, it's easy to drive off at night at stay at a Walmart, truckstop, whatever...
We enjoy boondocking as well and we probably won’t go back to making reservations any time soon. Not to mention, we often had trouble getting a reservation if we didn’t make one weeks or months in advance.
I used horse stall cedar shavings when I lived off grid and had a poop bucket. Worked like a charm.
Great vid~ I live in Las Vegas want to start spending my summers in Flagstaff to escape the heat. I'm looking into different ways of doing that ~ RV boondocking is one of them.
Thank you for cleaning up, we can’t change people but we can do our best to keep this earth clean and enjoyable.❤❤❤
Hey, nice family! Nice video!
Go Tigers... great video thanks.
Good mom and good daughter
You are a beautiful family, these memories you are making now, you and your children will cherish them for a lifetime! I camped with my grandfather, and have taken my own kids camping, they are in their 20’s now, I can’t wait to take my grandchildren. Thank you for sharing your memories with us, God bless and stay safe!
Thank you for your comment. We are enjoying making these memories together and hope my kids feel inspired to do the same with their kids one day. Hope you have great times with the grandkids in the future!
Just found you guys. Sweet Family. Following ya'll from Texas (Formerly West Michigan)
Thanks for watching! We’ve also lived in Texas before and are now in West Michigan.
Nice family. You’re building memories for a lifetime.
Flagstaff is my favorite place in America. If I have the chance to go to America in the future, I would like to live in Flagstaff.
Love visiting Flagstaff when I can.
Strong work
Thanks for sharing! Went to the same area last weekend. Took 222A to get back a little further. So beautiful and peaceful.
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the spot!
Thanks for this. About to take a long roadtrip with my camper and this video and all the information is really helpful.
HI THERE FOR THE RESTROOM I USE A BUCKET AND WHEN TAKE A DUMP, I USE A SCOOP OF PLANTS SOIL FROM HOMEDEPOT AND DOESN'T SMELL,IT WORKS BELIEVE ME 😂😂
I love flagstaff. Camped there awhile.so beautiful
I love that you and your family like to tent camp. People in Socal don't do much of that, especially women. I hope to meet women that like to camp, once I move to Az... Your wife is such a great sport, a breath of fresh air. I have been taking my son (hes 25) since he was about five years old. I wanted him to experience what I got to do, as a kid. Dispersed camping is always great....most are too afraid to do it. I like doing that along the kern river and peppermint creek, up in the Sierra Nevada.
Dispersed camping is great. Wish we had started it sooner. I’m lucky my wife is as into as I am. Makes things a lot more fun.
Love the out takes. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful family y’all have. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Thank you! We enjoyed sharing.
I love that you are a normal family..I hope your kids realize how great their parents are...I have 2 suggestions on your youngest and sleeping...1. have him wear footie pajamas to stay warm..2. have him practice sleeping at home in the sleeping bag.. Good luck!!
Really appreciate the comment. We do our best. 🙂 And those are great suggestions that we will be trying out!
That tire is from transients all the trash also
Love these camping trips so much fun. Stay safe & keep making more videos
Glad you enjoy these trips. Stay safe as well and more videos definitely to come!
People who weren’t in that area this summer will be sad to see what the FS did to the west side of that road.
HuOh what happened!!
Awesome video! Looks like a super fun trip 👍
It was!
@@LivinOurDreamz It's the perfect place to get out of this furnace in the Valley 👍
Looks like good family fun you guys are doing it
What a wonderful experience getting out in nature. Thanks for the ideas. Your daughter is so wonderful picking up the trash. If people abuse boondocking by polluting it will ruin it for others. What an adventure not having a set spot.
Yes, we were pretty proud of our daughter for wanting to clean up the camping spot and how important that was to her. We definitely enjoy being out in nature and our new way of camping (boondocking).
Living the dream, that is awesome. I born and raised in Az and camped all my life off the path. I hope to retire and move to Flagstaff so i can camp in the cold forest weather. Thanks for sharing.
No problem. Thanks for watching and hope your retirement plans come true!
Another great camping video. Maybe letting fall asleep with books on tapes in his headphones or his favorite blanket or stuff animal or action figures.
Thanks for the tips!
We were just up that way last week, man is it dry this year, cool video.... subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Flagstaff in the summer. Oh yeah! Arizona is all dusty. hahahaha
Even small electric space heaters are power hogs. I've never done it, but I'd be surprised if an RV park let you run one all day and night when it gets really cold without charging you extra for all the juice you're using. Or maybe they say 'propane only.'
This years travels got put on hold due to the T-Virus! Lol. Had to joke about that. When all this virus crap is over with next year I will be starting my boondocking across the country. Arizona is on my list. For now I am stuck in Marathon Fl in my RV. At least I am stuck in paradise. Great video. Glad to see other people enjoying what the outdoors has to offer. That includes dust, dirt, and trains. Lol. Take care.
Hope you can start your boondocking adventures next year. We wanted to do some traveling across the country as well, but staying local for the same reasons. Thanks for watching!
i live in flagstaff and thanks for providing free content during this hard time you make my day and you guys are great keep up the great work you guys are also my FAVORITE youtubers :)
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
@@LivinOurDreamz thank you thats my first reply from a youtuber omg thanks!
Pro tip:
Do NOT tell ghost stories before bed LOL. Group sing is better.
Good idea! Lol
My son had the same issue with blankets and sleeping bag. When it gets cold enough he will cover himself back up. Great video. New subscriber here! I adventure all.over AZ about every 3rd weekend year around!
He’s gotten a little better at staying in his sleeping bag, so we have hope of one day getting some sleep. Lol Thanks for watching and the sub!
Cool video. I’ve been thinking of trying this for an overnight trip next month before hiking up Mt Humphreys.
Sounds like a good idea. We enjoyed our camping visit there.
Nice video. Nice family.
Thank you for watching!
Nice boondocking area are there any bears around.
Great vid you guys, thx for making this... I just subbed... Found your channel bc I'm in Flagstaff and can't find a single open forest service road. Camped by a closed gate for the night after trying 5 this evening.
Thanks for the sub!
We are coming that way it was a hundred for yesterday in Kingman Arizona
😂😂😂😂great your selves like cats 😂😂😂good advice
I’m in Phx, from PA originally, so I super enjoyed this mini vacation! Awesome setup!! 💕 sending your lovely family thanks 🙏 Hoping one day to camp with our toddler. I’m not sure how young your youngest is - would a walk around the tent saying good night to all the forest creatures help? 🤷🏻♀️ there are lots of fun (bedtime) books under “camping book toddler” on Amazon too 😊 If older, maybe a special warm good night drink? Cinnamon stick with cider or hot cocoa?
Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the suggestions. Hope you have great camping experience with your toddler one day!
Thank you!!
Beautiful area, looked like a great time. You gotta get your daughter some gloves for the questionable stuff, lol.
Yep, we were caught off guard but next time we will come prepared, gloves and more trash bags just in case!
Where exactly is that located. I drove into flagstaff yesterday, unfortunately when I followed the directions to a dispersed location I found myself driving over a sketchy terrain, which I had no choice but to turn around.
I thank you for your help in advance
Train runs along the 40, so keep that in mind. Navel Observatory road is another location I found online.
Hoping to make it to Navel Observatory Rd. when it warms up again. And we definitely became quite familiar with the train that night!
I live in Flagstaff. I know exactly where you are!
Delightful LOL that's cute
Love the videos! Watching before bedtime, makes me smile. You can get a double sleeping bag for your little man. He will be able to sleep with his brother. They are so close.
Glad you are enjoying the videos! And appreciate the tip for the little guy!
Do you happen to have a chili recipe, perhaps on another channel? The dude looks and sounds familiar (Mr B Cooks?)
Yes, I do. Mr. B Cooks is my other channel.
I share your videos on social media.
Thanks for sharing!
Yukonjack helps
I love to go there!
Unfortunately that is one reason why different areas are being shutdown in Arizona as people trash the areas. There is a group call Keep Our Desert Clean that goes out every other month or so and cleans up different areas to hopefully slow down some of those shutdowns.
Yeah, it really is a shame that people aren't more respectful of the land. It's also unfortunate that responsible people who do "leave no trace" may have to suffer from possible shutdowns.
On the youngest we suggest letting him sleep how he sleeps at home or let him sleep on the bag with a throw blanket. Sounds like the weight is an issue.
Good suggestions! Thanks.
11:10 Did you say 'fire roads?' I don't know what that is. What kind of map do you have to get, to show all the 'forest roads' leading into and out of a national forest? If you were in a National Forest, which one? Did you have to stop by some field office to get a 2 week pass that has to be displayed on your vehicle?
We go camping around the weekend we went at the lockett meadow free camping and an other one near by but the last one was an ATV buggies dirt bike campground🙄😁 very dusty and loud day and a part of the night and people let trash everywhere so we looking for one who is easy access for our old minivan and quiet where is this one please?
This particular spot was forest road 171.
It's a shame one can't get away from the noise caused by human activity.
You can just don't go when everybody else is there!
Where u showed on video I'm camping there to as of right now I don't know if u still.
Pack it in pack it out leave it better than u found it .
Looking at your video try to fin forest rd 171 on map cant seem to ome up on Google maps
I went back to the site we found it on and found this GPS coordinate: 35.26142873817063,-111.83240354061127
I camped 3 weeks ago and we saw 3 make shift bucket toilets left behind ..it was sad .... we've picked reg trash others left, but nothing I can do about a whole poop bucket
It was dispersed camping at fr237
It’s just a shame people can’t clean up after themselves. We never know what we might find when we go to a site.
Ok I 40 then you are on a 2 lane paved to 171 but the 2 lane is
Hi what was the temp up there?
No mention of wildlife? Whenever i've been on the fire roads outside of "Flag" i've seen deer and Elk etc. right around dusk, maybe it was a little to busy when you guys were there !
Nope, we didn’t see any wildlife that trip!
What is the name of the camp how to get there
Smog and traffic alone is enough of a reason to get out of Phoenix....or Dallas....or Houston....or LA, etc etc. This is what happens when we have open borders, where everyone is welcome to come across.
Great vid! Bought your awesome t-shirt last summer. Wear it everywhere! We are going to try dispersed camping in Flaggstaff for our first time in our new 5th wheel this weekend. I hope we can find this area! Thanks for all your advice! Happy camping!!🏕️ @livin’ our dreamz
Hope you enjoy camping this weekend. We would have had an even better time in a 5th wheel. lol We were on Forest Rd. 151 if that helps. And that’s awesome that you bought the t-shirt!

I live in flagstaff
how was the over night temps ?
Is this a free camp site?. Im new to all this and wondering how you find the camp sites.
Yes it was free. We use camping apps like iOverlander, FreeRoam, and sometimes Google Earth. You can also look on state / national forest websites and they will often have maps showing where the dispersed camping areas are.
I hope y'all don't get Valley fever from breathing that dust into your lungs.
Well aren't you a bowl full of positivity & good energy 🤪
Was this a dog friendly spot? And how was the road? Nothing jagged or sticking out of the road?
The road was a little rough but not too bad. I’ve seen a review that mentioned foxtails getting in their dog’s paws, so that’s something to be aware of.
Sounds like your baby just needs more physical activity during the day. Soccer, bike rides, baseball.... Get him really tired and he’ll sleep though the night guaranteed.
Thank you for the tips!
Beautiful area. Can you share the GPS coordinate.
This is what we used to get there: 35°15'41.1"N 111°49'56.7"W
Thank you. Plan on making a trip.
is this area free no fee?
It’s free.
U got a black woman I applaud you
You're a beautiful family
Thank you!
хаахахах что я здесь делаю
Nice, I'll go this spring. I have a 100ft lead for my dog I can secure around a tree.
