Marc, Trish. I could never really put a finger on why I find your content so enjoyable. Your Q/A , explaining where KYD is going, explained it so well. Your positivity comes thru so naturally, that it's hard to even see it there. Right in front. THANK YOU for that! Love your vids. They do inspire.
I made the decision to get a travel trailer, sell my house and everything I own to live my life with my 2 small dogs. I have the trailer, I'm almost done selling everything I have, and my house just went on the market. Arizona is calling my name and my goal is to be there sometime in April!! You show keeps me motivated and focused on my new journey. Thank U
When my son accepted his USAFA appointment he said, 'do you know what is cooler than flying an F-35? ..... NOTHING!!!' Graduated last May as the Thunderbirds flew over. Nothing else like it. These Q & A's need to be more often. Its great to see your kids become young adults. And after watching this episode i realized, in the near future, there will be three more YT channels to follow. :-)
I'm one of those guys that sent you an email stating I was spending years saying "I'm gunna buy an RV" (someday)... We bought ours November 2017 100% due to watching you all not have a clue what you were doing (at the beginning), which inspired us to dive in. We do not "full time", but being location independent for work allows us to be anywhere for my job. Ironically, we have also found that we don't have to take long journeys to "live our daydream", just parking for a week overlooking the ocean or desert is all we need. Most of our locations are a day or less from our house. We both 100% plan to RV full time when we retire since all we do when we are not RVing is plan on where to go next. Thank you both for actively nudging your viewers to go for it, because we are. See you next week.
If he joins the Air Force he will never regret it. I did 29 years and both sons are in. We made lots of great family memories in are little RV and up graded to a taller with slide outs now and getting ready for the next chapter of camping with grad kids. Can’t wait. Don’t change a thing. You guys are awesome. Msgt Mike and Tami Lukas. Great Falls Mt.
When I saw the length was almost 40 minutes I thought there’s no way I’m watching this whole thing tonight. When it ended I was thinking damn, it’s already over?
Thanks for making the "do it now" idea so important in your videos. I took my mother and father camping, picnicking and just for drives. Many times we just thru our stuff in the car and went. I lost my father last July and my mother has ALZ and is blind now. I am sooooo glad that I have those memories and took the leap to start small. I told my father about my dream to live full time on the road and to my surprize the told me he thought it was a great idea. I look forward to seeing your videos and travel ideas. I hope to be out there someday soon.
You guys did an amazing job with this format for the q&a! Keeps people really engaged when you answer the questions from different locations and while you’re doing different activities instead of a sit down in the same spot for half an hour or more. Love your creativity!
I am not an RV person but your flog is by far my favorite. Your family is amazing, great to see the updates on Tori and Carson and always get a kick out of Mr. Caleb. But I really think what keeps me drawn to you is the obvious positive vibes from you, Marc and Trish. Keep traveling, stay safe and know that you brighten up many people's lives whom you will never meet. For this, a heartfelt THANKS!!
IMHO, this is one of, if not the very best videos you've done in the last few years. Well thought out, informative, from the heart, and thoroughly enjoyable. My wife and I have been RV'N (& boating) off and on for over 50+ years and at 78 & 80, we're still focused on "keepin' the daydream". Keep on keepin' on! Bless you and your family.
Love you guys. We're reimagining our life. Sold our class A .. Picking up an Airstream 27FB Thursday. My husband is fighting to deal with the aftermath of a botched brain cancer surgery. ... But time in the r v National Parks, beaches, Sedona, visiting family are all healing. Your family is so blessed with so many gifts. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all
First of all...you guys are amazing together! The family connection is infectious! Love following along with the life adventures you share with the world. Keep up the good work and the Great Life! God Bless!
Thanks for opening up more into your lives. After retiring from the military it has been my dream to see our country. Seeing most of the world...you always miss home. Whatever you guys do in the future...and if it’s not KYD, the positive mark left from your adventures will always be here. Safe travels!!
This was so much fun. I’m recently moved to Apache Junction from Sacramento, so being at Tahoe with you was a treat! I stare at the Superstitions from my front porch now so I’m not suffering too bad. but there is nothing like the Tahoe area. You inspire us to expand our horizons and I thank you so much!
Another great watch! We look forward to every Sunday, and your content. The on-screen positivity is a HUGE draw, as well as the humor. Love to learn and laugh
Loved seeing the whole family together again. My husband and I are selling our big house this year and we hope to buy something much smaller in a cheaper area so we can afford to get a truck and camper and see more beautiful places.
“Being deliberate”. Are you making memories with the people who are important to you? No matter what it looks like. (High five to the Banff tent 🏕 lady!) Thank you for this reminder and refocus! So great to see and hear from everyone!
We're very, very new to the RV life but your comment at 25:00 is something I'm working on all around- don't be a tyrant. Relax. Have fun. I'm also intense but toning that back a bit at the right times makes everyone happier. Thank you for putting all this into perspective day after day!
Honestly your channel was one of the sources that helped me transition to RV life. Thank you guys so much. I've been full time, using our RV as a towable apartment since early 2018. Started in a Jayco, but we actually went with a Reflection 5th wheel in mid 2018 as our full time rig.
Heavenly Valley is just that. The ride up the gondola over looking Lake Tahoe has to be the most spectacular view at any ski area I've ever skied. Thanks for the video!
I used to work in orthopedic surgery! I still do, but now I'm starting travel nursing!! Your videos are so helpful to a newbie like myself, thank you friends for the time and love you put into making these educational and fun videos!!
Your channel just popped up on my recommended list today...the same day i bought a Jeep! I've been thinking about a tear drop for a few weeks. My parents are half of the year RVers. Perfect timing for your videos.
I lived on my boat for a year. There are lots of similarities: space indoors, storage creativity, 30/50 amp elec, finding places to go, places to stay on the boat, macerating toilets, black water tanks, fresh water tanks, finding grocery stores, doctors, etc. I loved most of it.
Loved Trish’s comment on regrets after the fact. You only know so much for sure. When you strike out on your own, the rest is faith that by putting your best into it, all will be well. Or at least better than if you hadn’t tried. I’ve made some hard choices, and sure, i question my decisions and maybe some of them were foolish but the contentment of a bright, fresh morning in a new place! Nothing compares. I know I’ll never be sorry and love hearing your positive tones, both of you!
I have been watching for approx 3 years. Thank you for sharing your family with us. Thank you for your positivity and also some moments of frustration. My husband and I bought a grand design travel trailer in late 2018, started camping locally in 2019 (weekends and summer vacation). We love it, love the time to get out together with our teenage son and occasionally our granddaughter. We were going to wait a few years before starting and my husband said "why wait?". Thanks to your good advice I was able to be spontaneous and start having fun right away.
Ah, seeing the cabin brings back memories when we stayed there last July. It still is the first thing the kids talk about when we mention the vacation to Arizona last year! PS: Trish, I'm a social worker as well. I knew there was a reason I liked you so much :)
So I have depression and I’m not sure what it is but no matter where I’m at in my cycle of up and down every time I watch tour content I just feel happy so thanks for that
Watching the video....and suddenly, Marc says my name!! (Tina Burns) I was in shock!! Thank you so much for answering my question, and I agree, everyone needs to have their own trip or adventure. And that's definitely a great way to stay positive! We started where we could, 24 foot trailer and F150. Now, 2 years later, we just upgraded the truck to a F250 and bought a brand new Outdoors RV Mountain Series 26KVS. Tricia would love the windows and the back kitchen!! It's so awesome!! Thank you so much for inspiring us to go for it! And our friends, Matt and Diana for introducing us to Outdoors RV! Now...to go check on that link for the hats.....thanks again!!
@@KeepYourDaydream You're very welcome! If there's one thing I've learned from watching you, it's that everything happens for a reason. We may not know at this moment what that reason is, but make your best choices and then learn from the experience! Hugs!
She is exactly like her mom how giddy and hype she is. Even when u see her bounce in the jeep when she gets in a lot of her mannerisms are like her mom.
The F-35 is a great aircraft. I bedded it down at Elgin AFB Florida and then the bed down of it at Hill AFB for the first combat unit. Keep up the great work.
You guys inspired me and my wife to buy a pop-up last year. We now go out every couple of months (weekend warrior's) and our boys love the adventure. Thanks for a great channel!
This is the best, least boring, Q&A I’ve ever watched. The way you moved around with different shots and spots was awesome. Your family and journey is so inspiring and I absolutely love your videos. They fill me with such positivity and drive. Thank you for all the effort you put into them! 💕
Great video!! Please don’t go anywhere for a long time. I’m practically tearing up thinking about if I didn’t have you guys. Just watching you is like therapeutic to me and is so relaxing. Please don’t go anywhere!! Keep up the awesome work!!
I am so glad you did the Tear Drop Season. It confirmed what I suspected; too much work for prep and cooking and no place to wait out the weather. It only really works at 72 degrees. Great video as always; together again. My favorite saying was “let everyone have their own trip.”
Congratulation on your channel. I had been watching your channel since day 1. I remembered when Trishs face as you guys were pulling out of the driveway for the first time...she looked really worry. You guys need to come to Sicily, for vacationing in an RV is really nice.
Hi guys, a few things. First Mark, skiing... I love to ski too, I have found that I need to reserve a few days, probably 50% in my case, for solo skiing. This lets me ski hard and fast, hit bumps and steeps, without making the people I love who I ski with utterly fed up with me. Luckily for me my step brothers are in the same space so I do have some ski buddies to hang with. Second, Trish I really like your concept of letting people have their own trip. I do my best to live my life consciously and intentionally. I think letting others experience life in their own way is a big part of this. What a fantastic way to be, thanks for vocalizing and clarifying it for me. Finally, change... Sometimes we can plan the change like you two have so successfully done. Sometimes change comes into your house, throws you to the floor and kicks you in the head. Either way, the only way forward is to embrace it, keep moving forward, and try to grow. The two of you and your kiddos helped me to keep moving forward while I was on the floor getting kicked in the head over the past four years. You made a difference. You helped me find a path to take. You pretty much, with a few others, taught me how to RV. Now I have some serious miles behind me I feel like a veteran. Thanks so much for that. Safe travels and happy trails to you and yours. Greg
Nice blended Q&A of travels, family time, purpose. Perhaps an annual Q&A to go along with live Q&A's. It's a lot more personal to answer questions in real time, and perhaps not so time consuming. We are retired and rv about fours months a year and haven't left the east coast yet so we really enjoy all you do, and that family comes first! Thanks for your fun even when life gets life!
I love watching your adventures. After becoming disabled about 3 1/2 years ago . My family and I did few trips before my accident that I’m so happy we did when we did because I don’t know that I would be able to those trips again . Then this year we found out my wife has cancer of the lung . I’m not writing this for sympathy or to be a downer just to tell people everything can change in a blink of an eye. So do the things you want to do while you still can do them because you never know when things can change . So my wife’s cancer is stage two so she has a chance with surgery and chemo to have a chance for remission. And I’m hoping to continue my Recovery. So that we can go out and have some new adventures again . So keep up the videos it inspires us to keep moving forward and staying positive. Even during the hard times. Maybe someday you’ll see us out on the road. 😎
My husband, my two boys , (5 years old and 1 years old) and I 👨👩👦👦 are finally in a 5th wheel FULL TIME!! 2010 36ft Montana 5th wheel. Not exactly what I wanted but like you said do what you can for right now and we DID!! 😊😊😊 We are stationary for right now. Looking for a truck and working. We are so excited for our adventures to come! Love you guys 💗
After many years of rv shopping we ended up buying a 20 year old Beaver Marquis diesel pusher. We found the newer rvs were not made as well. Lower quality. We have no depreciation. We love our coach and are currently living in it. I just retired and my husband Michael and I are preparing to hit the road. You guys have inspired us so much! Thank you. We love your videos! Keep them coming!
Great advice about the kids having their own "trip" on the trips. We are transitioning from our kids being in HS to one a senior in college (now), one graduated HS and entered the workforce and one still in HS. They want to do their own thing but we still want to be together. We are learning how to do things differently. Your conversation about that is dead on. Appreciate that.
Tori, I absolutely LOVE your hair! Color, style, length... Amazing! My mom tells me that ever since I've been old enough to lift my head I would stare at every red haired woman that passed by.
Great video! My wife and I got married in Incline village 29.5 yrs. ago & the plan is to go full time this July & be at Incline village on our 30th anniversary. ❤
My 2 favorite places are Tahoe 1 hr away and San Francisco 1 1/2 hrs away, I'm so blessed to live here. My dad's famous words were "I'm not starting the car till you get your seatbelt on" I had to laugh hard.
So good to see all the kids and your whole family together again. We have camped for years and have camped in tents, truck camper, trailers, 5th wheels, toyhauler and now a class a motorhome. We are now trying to sell the Class A and going back to truck and trailer. Trish--- you are right; it's fun to look but it is so daunting .....decisions to make. Good luck on your decision. Safe travels and God bless you all
Love the video and the conversation with your son, reminds me of the attitude with my son.. he will go far with his independent attitude and focus.. keep your family close and things will be a true gift when they get older and show their children ❤️
You hit the nail on the head about CO not thawing until June. Plus we are getting a ton of snow this year. Campgrounds may even open later than usual this summer.
We so love you guys and get so much inspiration from you. Thanks for all the answers and for showing others what a family can be in the day and age. Such mature, independent kiddos doesn't happen without you being who you are. Who you are inspires lots of us to keep doing and keep positive. Wish you could see us. We have limited data left on our LTE plan. We are lying on our twin beds in our van using that data to watch you guys answer questions, which might seem like a non-wise way to use that data. But the smiles on our faces would porous differently. Very few know how much work this is we just want you to know you make a difference in our lives and we appreciate all the work that goes into this. Much love from sunny, not so warm Florida. Owen, Lynn and Maggie.
Great video! My wife and I are nurses looking into travel nursing before we have kids, and we are considering getting a travel trailer. Seems like it would be great way to see different parts of the country while helping to make some extra money for kids and a house down the road. Thanks for the cool ideas!
You were mentioning about letting your family do their own things while Rving: In our case have had a Tent trailer, a travel trailer, and now a motorhome. The best one that has worked for our family is our 26' motorhome. And the reason it works for us is that our kids can still do their own things while we travel. If the kids want to sleep in while we drive early in the morning we let them. If they want to get a snack, go to the bathroom, etc. we let them. For me what makes it all worth while is when they are still in their PJ's, they ask if I want a cup of coffee, come up to the front and just sit and talk while we drive or are stopped overlooking a view. Those are one of those special unforced moments that we love.
Mark and Trish you are both very inspiring and very honest about your situation life and family, yet another great video full of great ideas and sound advice. I love the way you both inspire your audience without leading them if you know what I mean. Just fantastic and your kids are just beautiful.
I have been waiting for this episode. When I first saw the Jeep & Tear-Drop, I thought.. Ummm yeah, this is where I leave you...:) I love the uber remote campsites, but this is like full-time outside life...and I do not like the cold. Can't wait to see what's next.
We are in the process of getting the house ready to sell, putting things in storage (for another house someday) and I had to have open heart surgery just before Christmas... I had to put things on hold for 2 months while I healed, but we aren't going to let that get us down! We purchased our 40' Monaco "gently used" diesel motor home last year and will be ready to put our house on the market sometime this spring and hope the hit the road full time by summer! You guys have been an inspiration for us and we look forward to following your adventures! Thanks for the inspiration - ya'll have a lovely family! Love and safe travels from north GA!
I have a home that overlooks Emerald Bay there. We can't get there as often as I'd like, but it is a great place to spend time with family & friends for sure. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Classic video of why you guys are pretty damn awesome. Love the update with the kiddos and the little nuggets of advice sprinkled through out the video with corny jokes and good advice and wisdom. Thanks for putting this together.
My wife and I were up at the lake this week and hoped we could stumble upon you guys.... we so so love your inspirational videos. The production level is off the charts!!
That would have been fun! Lately, we've been bumping into people almost daily. Everyone is so nice and always reassuring how amazing the KYD community is :)
My husband and I love the KYD channel!! We can’t wait for every Sunday to watch the new released video. Just ordered him one of your hats. So glad you guys have them available again.
I think like a lot of other viewers we bounce in an out of TH-cam channels, but i have to say this channel is my go to every Sunday no matter in the world I am at. Heck I bought a VPN and paid an extra $25 a month for more data to watch the Sunday videos in China when i'm working there. Truly love the channel and the content, you're family is a true testament to how great parents you both are. I love Trish's advice about letting everyone have their space and their time when on vacation. It always seems to be a "come on let's go" kind of vacation when you're limited to say a 2 week timeframe. I think RV's are like motorcycles there isn't the perfect one for every type of riding. I've had three different types and each one is missing something the other one has. Anyways I'm buying camping gear for this year, as i don't want to be tied to hotels and booking for this year. Great to see the kids are doing well. I did 10 years in the British Infantry, served in Desert Storm, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, USA, Germany, UK and Canada where I call home now, you're kid will be great in the military. One kid is in China at Nanjing university about to start Photography and film studies like Tory and our daughter is just finishing grade 12. Keep up with the great work on the channel it's great that you let us follow you're adventures every week. I don't think a lot of people know how much work this takes. Best wishes from still Cold and Snowy Alberta!!!
ALWAYS get a lot out of your videos. I enjoy them from beginning to end.....the invaluable information, the sights and sounds, the BEAUTIFUL scenery. It was great seeing you all together and each one’s Q&A. I look forward to checking out your reading list too. This was a great “refocusing” opportunity for me. Thanks! My mind is spinning with renewed excitement.
While I LOVE to live vicariously through your travels, seeing parts of the world I may never visit, this is one of my favorites! Figuring out how to get on the road is one of our biggest struggles. Unfortunately our current income isn't home or remote option. As an encouraging personality I feed on all of this encouragement that the two of you put out. The segment with Tori was so good.... trade-offs in life happen. The letter to Carson and the 25/75 living. Thank you!!!
This was an awesome video!! It answered soo many questions that I have been curious to hear the answers! I stumbled onto you looking for info about PEI and Nova Scotia and now I am addicted. We just got back, a little early cuz of Hurricane Lee. We had a wonderful time, such a beautiful area! We have been camping since the 90's with our children and now grandchildren. You do such a great job bringing people into your adventures with info, comedy and family life! Thank you
The podcast you mentioned was awesome. You both covered so much ground while just having a conversation. I pray that teacher got a wealth of knowledge, cause I sure did. Thank you for everything you do to make us smarter and happier.
I’ve seen every single episode now, whew that was a lot of bing watching. HAHA! For so long hardly anyone camped. When I was a kid everyone went camping (1960s - 70s...sadly yes I’m that old 🤣) then for a long time camping really wasn’t a “thing”, now seeing folks get out there and go...it’s wonderful! Y’all are helping everyone enjoy camping again. LOVE IT!!
This was one of my favorite videos. I loved seeing my favorite place in the world, Lake Tahoe, and how creative you were with the questions. What an editing job you did! You are role models for parents to accept your children for who they are and what they are interested in. You couldn't have 3 more different kids, and I love how you honor each one. God bless you!
Such pearls of wisdom about letting everyone have their own trip and experience. I'm guilty of micromanaging my family on trips. Time to rethink things :-)
You guys hit so many topics that are common to us. Great question and answer video. You hit a home run. We are in the process of selling our big expensive house and moving back to our almost paid off older home. My bride will retire in 2 years. At that time we plan on turning our home we are moving back to over to our son who will be getting out of the Army at the same time. The home has several bedrooms and one will be held for us so we will have a home base. The plan is coming together. Your channel along with other RV channels have been an irreplaceable source of information for us. We have a 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2970 RL travel trailer that I am getting road ready over the next 2 years upgrading tires and suspension as well as adding solar and inverter and lithium batteries etc. It’s all in the plan.
Love all the energy from the whole family. This was an awesome video love every single second of it. Thanks for all the videos you guys do. Bye the way Carson’s hat is very cool.😀
You make my Sunday evenings special. Watching you guy's helps me to hold onto my dream. Thank you so much KYD. Your family is amazing. What great kids.
Your trip to New Zealand sucked me into your channel. I've binged all your past videos. Now I'm going to start your pod casts! So good to see all the kids this episode.
I loved this episode for a lot of reasons. I missed the kids. I agree that Mark needs to listen to Tricia more (but not my hubby hahahaa) I got answers to a lot of burning questions! You guys are awesome and I can tell that your kids mean everything to you by how happy you are when they are there. Keep on keeping on! ❤️
You forgot to mention one of your keys to success: You two are madly in love with each other, and it's reflected in your family and your attitude.♥
Tom Kennedy ❤️
That's so obvious... You glow around each other!
Don't think you could have picked a more beautiful place than Tahoe. Awesome guys .
“Let everyone have their own trip”

Marc, Trish. I could never really put a finger on why I find your content so enjoyable. Your Q/A , explaining where KYD is going, explained it so well. Your positivity comes thru so naturally, that it's hard to even see it there. Right in front. THANK YOU for that! Love your vids. They do inspire.

Agreed lol 😍
I usually change the video speed for You Tubes to 2X. That way I can watch more! 😉
Thanks for making the "do it now" idea so important in your videos. I took my mother and father camping, picnicking and just for drives. Many times we just thru our stuff in the car and went. I lost my father last July and my mother has ALZ and is blind now. I am sooooo glad that I have those memories and took the leap to start small. I told my father about my dream to live full time on the road and to my surprize the told me he thought it was a great idea. I look forward to seeing your videos and travel ideas.

The level of respect and appreciation that you have for each other, is a candle of joy and love, that shines brightly in your lives.

We're very, very new to the RV life but your comment at 25:00 is something I'm working on all around- don't be a tyrant. Relax. Have fun. I'm also intense but toning that back a bit at the right times makes everyone happier. Thank you for putting all this into perspective day after day!
Love this! 39 minutes and still wanted more. The way you bring us in is what makes us want to come along. Can't wait for future adventures!
Honestly your channel was one of the sources that helped me transition to RV life. Thank you guys so much. I've been full time, using our RV as a towable apartment since early 2018. Started in a Jayco, but we actually went with a Reflection 5th wheel in mid 2018 as our full time rig.
Heavenly Valley is just that. The ride up the gondola over looking Lake Tahoe has to be the most spectacular view at any ski area I've ever skied. Thanks for the video!
I used to work in orthopedic surgery! I still do, but now I'm starting travel nursing!! Your videos are so helpful to a newbie like myself, thank you friends for the time and love you put into making these educational and fun videos!!
I don’t know if you really know, your kids are so blessed and so lucky to have the life you are and have giving them. Truly
Your channel just popped up on my recommended list today...the same day i bought a Jeep! I've been thinking about a tear drop for a few weeks. My parents are half of the year RVers. Perfect timing for your videos.
I lived on my boat for a year. There are lots of similarities: space indoors, storage creativity, 30/50 amp elec, finding places to go, places to stay on the boat, macerating toilets, black water tanks, fresh water tanks, finding grocery stores, doctors, etc. I loved most of it.
Loved Trish’s comment on regrets after the fact. You only know so much for sure.
When you strike out on your own, the rest is faith that by putting your best into it, all will be well. Or at least better than if you hadn’t tried. I’ve made some hard choices, and sure, i question my decisions and maybe some of them were foolish but the contentment of a bright, fresh morning in a new place! Nothing compares. I know I’ll never be sorry and love hearing your positive tones, both of you!
Shocked and impressed how quick you’re able to switch gears and sell off all that you have and go another direction.
I have been watching for approx 3 years. Thank you for sharing your family with us. Thank you for your positivity and also some moments of frustration. My husband and I bought a grand design travel trailer in late 2018, started camping locally in 2019 (weekends and summer vacation). We love it, love the time to get out together with our teenage son and occasionally our granddaughter. We were going to wait a few years before starting and my husband said "why wait?". Thanks to your good advice I was able to be spontaneous and start having fun right away.
Ah, seeing the cabin brings back memories when we stayed there last July. It still is the first thing the kids talk about when we mention the vacation to Arizona last year! PS: Trish, I'm a social worker as well. I knew there was a reason I liked you so much :)
So I have depression and I’m not sure what it is but no matter where I’m at in my cycle of up and down every time I watch tour content I just feel happy so thanks for that
Not easy. Keep it up. Glad we can be a small part.
Watching the video....and suddenly, Marc says my name!! (Tina Burns) I was in shock!! Thank you so much for answering my question, and I agree, everyone needs to have their own trip or adventure. And that's definitely a great way to stay positive! We started where we could, 24 foot trailer and F150. Now, 2 years later, we just upgraded the truck to a F250 and bought a brand new Outdoors RV Mountain Series 26KVS. Tricia would love the windows and the back kitchen!! It's so awesome!! Thank you so much for inspiring us to go for it! And our friends, Matt and Diana for introducing us to Outdoors RV! Now...to go check on that link for the hats.....thanks again!!
:) We could do an entire video on your question and probably should! Thanks for the question!
@@KeepYourDaydream You're very welcome! If there's one thing I've learned from watching you, it's that everything happens for a reason. We may not know at this moment what that reason is, but make your best choices and then learn from the experience! Hugs!
Always ready for another episode! I'm happy to see yall are doing great!
I just realized that I clicked the Like button before the opening finished!
I always do that with KYD. I don't want to forget and that's the best way for me.
Nuttin' wrong with that, Barb! Y'all Be Safe!
She is exactly like her mom how giddy and hype she is. Even when u see her bounce in the jeep when she gets in a lot of her mannerisms are like her mom.
I know, right!! I commented the same thing 😂!
The F-35 is a great aircraft. I bedded it down at Elgin AFB Florida and then the bed down of it at Hill AFB for the first combat unit. Keep up the great work.
Bedded it down? You might want to talk to a therapist about your sexual desires. Lol
Damn, Angus MacIver...that name takes me WAY back! You likely don't remember me. I was weapons in the 34th in 2004-07.
Better be a great aircraft considering the staggering program cost. I mean staggering!
You guys inspired me and my wife to buy a pop-up last year. We now go out every couple of months (weekend warrior's) and our boys love the adventure. Thanks for a great channel!
I can’t believe the amount of work you put into this Q&A. It makes me tired thinking about the shooting and editing.
This is the best, least boring, Q&A I’ve ever watched. The way you moved around with different shots and spots was awesome. Your family and journey is so inspiring and I absolutely love your videos. They fill me with such positivity and drive. Thank you for all the effort you put into them! 💕
Two exceptional people who found contentment in life with each other.
👍🏼This was a really nice family reunion with a side of Q&A!
Great video!! Please don’t go anywhere for a long time. I’m practically tearing up thinking about if I didn’t have you guys. Just watching you is like therapeutic to me and is so relaxing. Please don’t go anywhere!! Keep up the awesome work!!
I am so glad you did the Tear Drop Season. It confirmed what I suspected; too much work for prep and cooking and no place to wait out the weather. It only really works at 72 degrees. Great video as always; together again. My favorite saying was “let everyone have their own trip.”
Congratulation on your channel. I had been watching your channel since day 1. I remembered when Trishs face as you guys were pulling out of the driveway for the first time...she looked really worry. You guys need to come to Sicily, for vacationing in an RV is really nice.
You two are so inspiring and speak to our hearts! Thank you so much for putting all this content together for your viewers!
Hi guys, a few things. First Mark, skiing... I love to ski too, I have found that I need to reserve a few days, probably 50% in my case, for solo skiing. This lets me ski hard and fast, hit bumps and steeps, without making the people I love who I ski with utterly fed up with me. Luckily for me my step brothers are in the same space so I do have some ski buddies to hang with. Second, Trish I really like your concept of letting people have their own trip. I do my best to live my life consciously and intentionally. I think letting others experience life in their own way is a big part of this. What a fantastic way to be, thanks for vocalizing and clarifying it for me. Finally, change... Sometimes we can plan the change like you two have so successfully done. Sometimes change comes into your house, throws you to the floor and kicks you in the head. Either way, the only way forward is to embrace it, keep moving forward, and try to grow. The two of you and your kiddos helped me to keep moving forward while I was on the floor getting kicked in the head over the past four years. You made a difference. You helped me find a path to take. You pretty much, with a few others, taught me how to RV. Now I have some serious miles behind me I feel like a veteran. Thanks so much for that. Safe travels and happy trails to you and yours. Greg
Nice blended Q&A of travels, family time, purpose. Perhaps an annual Q&A to go along with live Q&A's. It's a lot more personal to answer questions in real time, and perhaps not so time consuming. We are retired and rv about fours months a year and haven't left the east coast yet so we really enjoy all you do, and that family comes first! Thanks for your fun even when life gets life!
I love watching your adventures. After becoming disabled about 3 1/2 years ago . My family and I did few trips before my accident that I’m so happy we did when we did because I don’t know that I would be able to those trips again . Then this year we found out my wife has cancer of the lung . I’m not writing this for sympathy or to be a downer just to tell people everything can change in a blink of an eye. So do the things you want to do while you still can do them because you never know when things can change . So my wife’s cancer is stage two so she has a chance with surgery and chemo to have a chance for remission. And I’m hoping to continue my Recovery. So that we can go out and have some new adventures again . So keep up the videos it inspires us to keep moving forward and staying positive. Even during the hard times. Maybe someday you’ll see us out on the road. 😎
My husband, my two boys , (5 years old and 1 years old) and I 👨👩👦👦 are finally in a 5th wheel FULL TIME!! 2010 36ft Montana 5th wheel. Not exactly what I wanted but like you said do what you can for right now and we DID!! 😊😊😊
We are stationary for right now. Looking for a truck and working. We are so excited for our adventures to come!
Love you guys 💗
So happy to see all the kids back
So much fun!
The way you planned and delivered this QA was magnificent. It's no wonder this is the BEST RV channel on YT. Much love from Florida.
After many years of rv shopping we ended up buying a 20 year old Beaver Marquis diesel pusher. We found the newer rvs were not made as well. Lower quality. We have no depreciation. We love our coach and are currently living in it. I just retired and my husband Michael and I are preparing to hit the road. You guys have inspired us so much! Thank you. We love your videos! Keep them coming!
That's a good strategy!
Great advice about the kids having their own "trip" on the trips. We are transitioning from our kids being in HS to one a senior in college (now), one graduated HS and entered the workforce and one still in HS. They want to do their own thing but we still want to be together. We are learning how to do things differently. Your conversation about that is dead on. Appreciate that.
Tori, I absolutely LOVE your hair! Color, style, length... Amazing!
My mom tells me that ever since I've been old enough to lift my head I would stare at every red haired woman that passed by.
Great video! My wife and I got married in Incline village 29.5 yrs. ago & the plan is to go full time this July & be at Incline village on our 30th anniversary. ❤
My 2 favorite places are Tahoe 1 hr away and San Francisco 1 1/2 hrs away, I'm so blessed to live here. My dad's famous words were "I'm not starting the car till you get your seatbelt on" I had to laugh hard.
So good to see all the kids and your whole family together again. We have camped for years and have camped in tents, truck camper, trailers, 5th wheels, toyhauler and now a class a motorhome. We are now trying to sell the Class A and going back to truck and trailer. Trish--- you are right; it's fun to look but it is so daunting .....decisions to make. Good luck on your decision. Safe travels and God bless you all
Good to see the whole family together. We went to the Raleigh RV show last week and we met three couples that watch KYD. You guys are great.
Love the video and the conversation with your son, reminds me of the attitude with my son.. he will go far with his independent attitude and focus.. keep your family close and things will be a true gift when they get older and show their children ❤️
That is one of the best pieces of advice I have ever heard. Let each individual have their own trip. Thanks Trish.
You hit the nail on the head about CO not thawing until June. Plus we are getting a ton of snow this year. Campgrounds may even open later than usual this summer.
With the more snow I would even wait till late August or early September and catch aspens changing colors.
August would be great, but we'll be further east by then. Flagstaff is amazing in Oct, but we're never back in time! Yellow aspens are spectacular.
I now have a new Sunday tradition... watching kyd and doing the dishes... no better way to pass the time! Great vid and I love the Q&A’s
Great to see all of your family together again. Thanks for the Q&A Session. Always gain a nugget or two.
We so love you guys and get so much inspiration from you. Thanks for all the answers and for showing others what a family can be in the day and age. Such mature, independent kiddos doesn't happen without you being who you are. Who you are inspires lots of us to keep doing and keep positive. Wish you could see us. We have limited data left on our LTE plan. We are lying on our twin beds in our van using that data to watch you guys answer questions, which might seem like a non-wise way to use that data. But the smiles on our faces would porous differently. Very few know how much work this is we just want you to know you make a difference in our lives and we appreciate all the work that goes into this. Much love from sunny, not so warm Florida. Owen, Lynn and Maggie.
30’ Airstream bunk and a new 2020 Ford F-250 Tremor, problem solved! Great video one of your best. Thank you!
YES!!
Now put as many smiles on the odometer as possible😜
Great Q&A video! Thanks. In our 70s, we’re living our dream everyday.
No comment, Just Thank You guys, Love all your videos. God Bless you guys in your travels.
Great video! My wife and I are nurses looking into travel nursing before we have kids, and we are considering getting a travel trailer. Seems like it would be great way to see different parts of the country while helping to make some extra money for kids and a house down the road. Thanks for the cool ideas!
You were mentioning about letting your family do their own things while Rving: In our case have had a Tent trailer, a travel trailer, and now a motorhome. The best one that has worked for our family is our 26' motorhome. And the reason it works for us is that our kids can still do their own things while we travel. If the kids want to sleep in while we drive early in the morning we let them. If they want to get a snack, go to the bathroom, etc. we let them. For me what makes it all worth while is when they are still in their PJ's, they ask if I want a cup of coffee, come up to the front and just sit and talk while we drive or are stopped overlooking a view. Those are one of those special unforced moments that we love.
Good stuff guy's. The wife and I are part of the full time, part-timers . Will always have the stick and bricks. Take care ya all.
Carson. My son is a 2013 graduate of USAFA. Go for it! I wish you success.
I was stationed at USAFA, 1980-1984. Loved it!
We stayed at the KYD cabin in April last year. Loved the cabin and location was awesome👍
That's awesome.
Just subbed, where is the cabin?
Just south of flagstaff Az
Is it on a rental website to be able to rent?
Amanda W only on the kyd website I believe as of now
Mark and Trish you are both very inspiring and very honest about your situation life and family, yet another great video full of great ideas and sound advice. I love the way you both inspire your audience without leading them if you know what I mean. Just fantastic and your kids are just beautiful.
I have been waiting for this episode. When I first saw the Jeep & Tear-Drop, I thought.. Ummm yeah, this is where I leave you...:) I love the uber remote campsites, but this is like full-time outside life...and I do not like the cold. Can't wait to see what's next.
R u glad you are staying around to follow?
Like your response. Very funny. Thanks.
@@michaelbelle4702 😁😂
Fair weather fan lol! JK I know what you mean!
We are in the process of getting the house ready to sell, putting things in storage (for another house someday) and I had to have open heart surgery just before Christmas... I had to put things on hold for 2 months while I healed, but we aren't going to let that get us down! We purchased our 40' Monaco "gently used" diesel motor home last year and will be ready to put our house on the market sometime this spring and hope the hit the road full time by summer! You guys have been an inspiration for us and we look forward to following your adventures! Thanks for the inspiration - ya'll have a lovely family! Love and safe travels from north GA!
I have a home that overlooks Emerald Bay there. We can't get there as often as I'd like, but it is a great place to spend time with family & friends for sure. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Classic video of why you guys are pretty damn awesome. Love the update with the kiddos and the little nuggets of advice sprinkled through out the video with corny jokes and good advice and wisdom. Thanks for putting this together.
My wife and I were up at the lake this week and hoped we could stumble upon you guys.... we so so love your inspirational videos. The production level is off the charts!!
That would have been fun! Lately, we've been bumping into people almost daily. Everyone is so nice and always reassuring how amazing the KYD community is :)
My husband and I love the KYD channel!! We can’t wait for every Sunday to watch the new released video. Just ordered him one of your hats. So glad you guys have them available again.
I think like a lot of other viewers we bounce in an out of TH-cam channels, but i have to say this channel is my go to every Sunday no matter in the world I am at. Heck I bought a VPN and paid an extra $25 a month for more data to watch the Sunday videos in China when i'm working there. Truly love the channel and the content, you're family is a true testament to how great parents you both are. I love Trish's advice about letting everyone have their space and their time when on vacation. It always seems to be a "come on let's go" kind of vacation when you're limited to say a 2 week timeframe. I think RV's are like motorcycles there isn't the perfect one for every type of riding. I've had three different types and each one is missing something the other one has.
Anyways I'm buying camping gear for this year, as i don't want to be tied to hotels and booking for this year. Great to see the kids are doing well. I did 10 years in the British Infantry, served in Desert Storm, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, USA, Germany, UK and Canada where I call home now, you're kid will be great in the military. One kid is in China at Nanjing university about to start Photography and film studies like Tory and our daughter is just finishing grade 12. Keep up with the great work on the channel it's great that you let us follow you're adventures every week. I don't think a lot of people know how much work this takes.
Best wishes from still Cold and Snowy Alberta!!!
You're too kind. Thank you. You're going to love an RV after all that international travel!
A wonderful family is together again,,,, Thank you.
ALWAYS get a lot out of your videos. I enjoy them from beginning to end.....the invaluable information, the sights and sounds, the BEAUTIFUL scenery. It was great seeing you all together and each one’s Q&A. I look forward to checking out your reading list too. This was a great “refocusing” opportunity for me. Thanks! My mind is spinning with renewed excitement.
Best Q&A Format guys, excellent job, excellent answers!
While I LOVE to live vicariously through your travels, seeing parts of the world I may never visit, this is one of my favorites! Figuring out how to get on the road is one of our biggest struggles. Unfortunately our current income isn't home or remote option.
As an encouraging personality I feed on all of this encouragement that the two of you put out. The segment with Tori was so good.... trade-offs in life happen. The letter to Carson and the 25/75 living. Thank you!!!
This was an awesome video!! It answered soo many questions that I have been curious to hear the answers! I stumbled onto you looking for info about PEI and Nova Scotia and now I am addicted. We just got back, a little early cuz of Hurricane Lee. We had a wonderful time, such a beautiful area! We have been camping since the 90's with our children and now grandchildren. You do such a great job bringing people into your adventures with info, comedy and family life! Thank you
The podcast you mentioned was awesome. You both covered so much ground while just having a conversation. I pray that teacher got a wealth of knowledge, cause I sure did. Thank you for everything you do to make us smarter and happier.
I’ve seen every single episode now, whew that was a lot of bing watching. HAHA! For so long hardly anyone camped. When I was a kid everyone went camping (1960s - 70s...sadly yes I’m that old 🤣) then for a long time camping really wasn’t a “thing”, now seeing folks get out there and go...it’s wonderful! Y’all are helping everyone enjoy camping again. LOVE IT!!
You have the most beautiful kiddos! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
This was one of my favorite videos. I loved seeing my favorite place in the world, Lake Tahoe, and how creative you were with the questions. What an editing job you did! You are role models for parents to accept your children for who they are and what they are interested in. You couldn't have 3 more different kids, and I love how you honor each one. God bless you!
Such pearls of wisdom about letting everyone have their own trip and experience. I'm guilty of micromanaging my family on trips. Time to rethink things :-)
You guys hit so many topics that are common to us. Great question and answer video. You hit a home run. We are in the process of selling our big expensive house and moving back to our almost paid off older home. My bride will retire in 2 years. At that time we plan on turning our home we are moving back to over to our son who will be getting out of the Army at the same time. The home has several bedrooms and one will be held for us so we will have a home base. The plan is coming together. Your channel along with other RV channels have been an irreplaceable source of information for us. We have a 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2970 RL travel trailer that I am getting road ready over the next 2 years upgrading tires and suspension as well as adding solar and inverter and lithium batteries etc. It’s all in the plan.
Love all the energy from the whole family. This was an awesome video love every single second of it. Thanks for all the videos you guys do. Bye the way Carson’s hat is very cool.😀
You make my Sunday evenings special. Watching you guy's helps me to hold onto my dream. Thank you so much KYD. Your family is amazing. What great kids.
Your trip to New Zealand sucked me into your channel. I've binged all your past videos. Now I'm going to start your pod casts! So good to see all the kids this episode.
I loved this episode for a lot of reasons. I missed the kids. I agree that Mark needs to listen to Tricia more (but not my hubby hahahaa) I got answers to a lot of burning questions! You guys are awesome and I can tell that your kids mean everything to you by how happy you are when they are there. Keep on keeping on! ❤️
Ahhhhh....the smile on my face from my "vicarious" life. Thank you for all you do! Jim.
