- Enjoy NO MID-ROLL ADS!!!
Leaving Duluth, Minnesota and driving into Wisconsin. I find a nice camp by a river with waterfalls. I also cook up some tasty ramen on the camp stove.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!
**Follow Your Dreams*
Yours has always been a great channel. No drama, no complaining, pretty scenery, optimistic outlook. Thanks!! Enjoy your journey! Thanks for sharing!
Totally agree
Not to mention hard worker to fund his own life!
Dona I couldn't agree more!
totalmente de acuerdo
I agree Dona. I'm so glad he was the 1st "nomad" I followed way back when. The way he conducts himself is head & shoulders above the majority, a class act & respecter of nature.
I love how you don’t just settle on ramen, you found ways to improve it and make it your own. You are definitely the king of the camper kitchen.
“Let’s go down this road and see what we can find.” 🚐 Thanks for sharing ✌🏿
I have to say that watching your adventures helps your viewers like me who are stuck at home in this time of Covid and also kills our feelings of isolation. It’s a gift. We know you but you are alone and don’t know many of us. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you! NO ARIZONA! Yeaaaay! (tired of Arizona videos - nothing against Arizona, it's just been done to death on travel vidoes). Lunch looks yummy! And the falls are gorgeous.
I live here and don't want to see it either
The desert is beatiful. When you are there ;comes alive!!
Hey Brian.. beautiful waterfalls and that ramen looked delicious 👍😁
I never knew the falls were that large, love the way you filmed the cooking
Great video Brian. I always love the cooking segments you include. Glad to hear you are heading down south for the winter. If you are venturing into Florida be sure to check out the St Marks area along the panhandle. It's not built up like most of the rest of the state. Lots of things to see and some awesome folks living down there. Safe journeys my friend!
Thank you
@@AdventureVanMan Forgot to add eat at Cooter Stews in St Marks....oh man their French fries are the best I have ever had. They prolly takes a few years off your life but well worth it lol
I always learn some cooking tips from your videos. You eat better than me and you’re in a van haha. All the best Brian.
Camp Cooking with Brian. Great looking food & views.
That ramen looked super tasty. Loved that waterfall too. :)
Nice video, I'm sure homesick for the road, my health won't let me travel much anymore, but love you're video's, it helps me not miss the road so much, thank you for taking the time to do these video's for us, always Elvis 👍❤⚡
okay so I am never buying top ramen again! You could even pre make your own packages of ramen. That looked awesome....a little bone broth would be on point. Thanks for the recipe.😊👍🏻
Thanks for the update Brian. I spent a year in WI a few years ago.
I was doing some drawing for an engineering company all over the state.
Some beautiful country down around the Mississippi too.
I learned something new about Ramen meals. Thank you!
Our Great Lakes are beautiful. I live on the shore of Lake Erie in Ohio. But here it still looks autumnal -- up there it definitely looks more like winter.
Keep on enjoying life!
Another relaxing video with Brian. That soup looked great!
Awesome shots and warm vibes.
The adventure continues.
I know you’re busy working in Alaska right now, but I’ve been under quarantine we watching old videos. Sure makes the day go by a lot faster. Can’t wait for your new stuff.
I’ve traveled that route through Wisconsin for years and the artesian well in Ashland was always a welcome stop, and holds some of the coldest, freshest water I’ve ever had! Glad you were able to experience some of the North country we love so much!
These videos are my morning ritual/meditation before going into work. Thanks for making these! Such an inspiration!
Beautiful water falls. So much water, but thought, imagine them with snow melt.
Getting snow now, be glad you moved along.❄ I shut my blinds, didn't even want to see it, way too early. 2020, you really kinda blow. Safe travels✌
Hey Bonnie, no snow here yet but my time will come😉
@@mtradz Hey pal👋 hope you are well.
Hi Bonnie P
@@darrellwampler6473 Hi Darrell, so great to see some familiar "faces" so to speak.😊
I always enjoy your simple van cooking and your videos in general. Thank you for taking us along.
Great video of the falls, especially like the drone perspective !!!
Simple living works.
MN is a gem. Always thought that part of the Great Lakes gets overlooked because of Lake Michigan and Chicago's waterfront. The rode seems like a more pleasant place to be these days than living in a torn city like Chicago.
i never thought you'd be teaching us how to cook . made me hungry . thanks looks so good . great video
After seeing this video, I ordered mushroom seasoning from Amazon. I got the noodles and liquid aminos from Walmart. I made this today with carrots, scallions, fresh baby portobello mushrooms, and an egg. It came out phenomenal! This is definitely going to be a go-to meal for me.
Right on!!👍🏼
Must be nice to be some people! I envy you. Greetings from Australia. Stay out in the wilds, man, gonna get rough shortly!
I always enjoy the guitar music that goes with your driving. I think it's something you wrote, isn't it? Anyhoot, I loved the falls and the autumn colors. Stunning contrast on that red leaf shot. I'm hungry for ramen, and might try the egg. Can't wait to see you reunited with Miss K. Take care, safe journeys!
That's his music?
We have an Asian market here I will check out mushroom powder. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed your vlog ❣️ say hi to Kelly for us 😊
What can I say, another great video. Thanks for your no ad policy.
They had a sign on that bridge but they felt it it was too cheesy.
🤣👍 Not everyone will get the "cheesehead" reference 😉
@@vanvorst1999 🧀 Gosh, thats like saying you don't know where The Big Apple is! 🍎
@@thizizliz You'd be surprised... Many people don't know the Garden and Keystone states or Big D and Big Easy cities. 😉
I didn't. Never been up there.
I’ve never been there, but I’m a victim of forced football, so I’ve seen a few cheeseheads. And cheese curds, but that’s another story. 😉
So glad you could enjoy the badger state. I like to get out daily and hike around the Shawano area near the reservation. I let nature heal my depression. Appreciate you Brian and yum on the ramen noodles☮️😎❤️
Our County, Shawano, is one of the most beautiful isn't it xo :)
Those waterfalls were beautiful and refreshing. Nice meal Brian, thanks for sharing!
Always a pleasure to watch thanks Brian❤️
Ramen done up the AdventureVanMan way..Top Notch Brian..thanks for sharing!!!
Well sir you have an other well done video!! I really do like the VIEW out your windshield as you motor down the road. And back trails. Breathtaking views of the waterfalls, the fall colors, that long trail of wooden steps down, and then back up! What a workout! I think for me a nice little lawn chair right there by that peaceful waterfall, I think I'd call that a nice place for a afternoon nap!!! Be safe and healthy Brian.
Your recipe sounds yummy. I love to camp next to a river. Any kind really. So peaceful. Nice place.
Love the water falls! Thanks Brian. Laurie and I always enjoy your videos.
Yup crossed into Superior, Wisconsin. Love Duluth!
You sure find the most beautifulest places
I really enjoy your videos. They are soothing with beautiful scenery and useful nomad/camping information. When you are in the SE near Charleston, SC, I'd love to meet you, and Kelly also, if she is with you. I'm a weekend camper enjoying short road trips and nomading between homes.
Scenic and nutritious . . . the views never get old, but dietary advice is always changing! My palate is a lot like yours, but after finding out how poorly trained most doctors are in diet and metabolism, I came to have a better grasp of the subject for myself.
Myths discarded: dietary fat causes heart disease; salt causes high blood pressure and can be restricted without adverse consequences; high protein consumption causes kidney damage; any whole food is good to eat; etc, etc . . . Practices adopted: eating more satisfying foods less often, getting full nutrition along with a more intimate understanding of the metabolic processes that sustain life and health.
Thank you for another great video. Beautiful camp spot. Thank you for taking us along. Safe travels.
I camped not far from that Artesian spring in Ashland once. I think it was a city park. Such a pretty area. Oh that lunch looked so good! Stay warm!
Nice looking bowl of soup, and so easy. Yes the ramen packs are so bad for you. Going to look for the noodles. Thank you for sharing
Love the ramen idea and the waterfalls. Another great video. Blessings on you.
I spent some time in ST Criox last year. Wisconsin has beautiful waterfalls.
I don't know why but I am always fascinated by the food you make.
Really cool water falls. Thanks for bringing us along. Love the visiting Kelly part and the noodles looked amazing - will def try that out. Peace
You have inspired me & my husband so much. We got the same fan and stove as you did by watching your videos. Our van is almost done. Still needing one of your stickers for it. Hope our paths cross one day. Oh by the way, your cooking makes me hungry. Getting great ideas for cooking on the road.
Thank you for sharing your awesome travel video. Your Ramen noodles look delicious. Safe travels!
Great lakes are at a high level right now. Threatening shorelines.
I live in Andover Minnesota. Been to the north shore many times you filmed it well. Safe travels my friend.
Excited about you going south this winter. Hope you come thru the Panhandle of Florida. We have the most beautiful beaches between Destin and Panama City and the off season is really chill ✌🏼
Scenery looks beautiful! And all to yourself there! Good cooking tip. Good travels sir.
You make great content man
Stay safe and remember to keep it on the dirt,if all possible 👍👍
THIS. I needed this today for my mental health. Thank you SO MUCH. Wishing you memorable adventures ahead and safe journey!
Another relaxing video good to see you again...be safe.
Yo - AVM. Thanks for flashing hiwa numbers, compass direction, and town names on the screen.
AND no background racket (music).
Yay you're coming my way! I'm down around Panama City for the winter. Lots of places down here where you can back your van right up to the ocean.
@CG34 Crystal River, Dunedin Causeway, Palm Harbor, lots of places down around Clearwater. Just so you know, I'm talking about day spots, not overnight parking spots.
I am so glad I found your channel. It's so relaxing to watch and such beautiful scenery...even the sugar beet harvest was SO interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Away we go!! Minn is a great place. Love that Wisconsin camp and waterfall. Good choice, healthy food! Love your videos! 👍😉🇨🇦👌🌲💜
Birch bark, colored leaves, waterfalls , woods ..... Sooo beautiful What more do you need for a peaceful place to just be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, a warm meal to top off your day Yum Great video Brian An awesome day shared by you Take care my friend
I always enjoy your cooking segments, Brian. Do you get the noodles, seafood mix, Bragg’s Amino from Trader Joe’s?
They should have it.
They also have coconut amino acids at Traders, much healthier to avoid soy!
@@lorenenoe4472 ...I’ll try to find that. Thank you both.
I love the cooking sessions! I’ll have to try that ramen recipe, I do enjoy ramen with some fried gyoza on the side! Stay safe!
Shhhh, we don't want this secret to get out too much :-) We love northern MN, come back in summer, North Shore is pleasant that time of year as well.
Waterfalls were a lovely surprise. Hope you know how appreciated you are, Brian. Travel Safe and Be Well.
Some other things you can use to make a broth for your noodles...garlic, diced tomatoes, ginger, miso paste, chili paste etc.
I really enjoy watching you prepare meals. You have a backup career as a chef as something to fall back on if needed.
I make my own ramen broth seasoning too. Try also adding: ginger root, minced garlic, green cabbage, green peas, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and some Argentinan wild-caught shrimp are good too. I will boil the egg in it's shell in the noodle broth 😂.
Can't wait to try that Ramen recipe looks yummy!
Yet another great production! Thank you. I’m looking forward to your travels to the southeast. I’ve often wondered what van life might be like there. Peace.😌
Given the flat drive in I was really surprised at the stairs and waterfalls. Thanks for the shots of colorful leaves, mossy bark, etc., those are the things I notice when I walk.
Love your recipes! ❤️. Will be making your pad Thai this week. You need to make a e-cookbook for sure 😊. Happy Travels! ✌🏼
I ❤️ Minnesota.
The water falls and colorful sencery are so peaceful and relaxing to watch. I buy the cheap Ramen and trash the favor pack for my own sauce. Looking forward to trying your sauce. Safe and peaceful travels Brain.
There are some better quality ramen packs you can usually find at well stocked health food stores or co-ops, Whole Foods, or other super markets that have a large Asian or health food section.
Looks so nice 👍 enjoy your journey,
Looking forward to seeing your next video Brian. God bless you 🙏
We are from Wisconsin!! 3 of our 4 kids and 5 grandkids still live there so we head back there every summer. Went up to Ashland a couple years ago and that road was flooded from having a LOT of rain, so we didn't get to see the Falls. We did a video on Lake Michigan this summer. Beautiful turquoise color!! This Fall we left WI the day before the first snowfall and headed SE and now heading W!! The Fall colors in WI this year were the best in the last few years. Wisconsin is a beautiful state. Come back next summer and we'll show you some other great places to go exploring!! Safe travels!!
You make a cheap and easy meal look so good.
Love your relaxing videos like this. It will be good to follow you through the eastern states. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
Have a nice day and enjoy your meals!
How neat to be able to fill uour water. Ahhh, that waterfall and colorful leaves, so beautiful. Yep, nothing like some homemade warm soup on a chilly day. Looked delicious. Hats off to the folks in that area, I didn't see a bunch of trash laying around. Be safe. 😊👍
love to watch u cook great video
Thank you for taking us along ❤️❤️🕊🕊👍👍🙏🙏😇😇🌹🌹💋💋🥂🥂
Hi Brian. Can't help but notice you have a large blank panel above your side doors and I thought if ever you needed more storage it'd be a great place to hang a cargo net like you find in the back of an suv or even in the trunk of some sedans. I've had 2 hanging in my little sail boat for years and it's amazing what you can stow in them. Been enjoying your posts for years now and you were the first minimalist travel vlog I watched. I'm envious and miss the lifestyle. In the 1970's I travelled all 48 lower states in a 1967 Rambler station wagon and loved every minute of it. Stay safe and healthy.
My fraternal grandmother grew up in Duluth. I love the Great Lakes!
Been making my own "ramen" with angel hair spaghetti since the mid 90's... same ingredients for the rest, so good. Will also sometimes use some broccoli slaw👍💕
I do love those waterfalls love to hear the rivers just run through the rocks. I’ve traveled out of Utah crossed I 70 to Denver in a long I 70 I would stop and just sit by the river and listen to the water passing through the rocks . Enjoy your journey be safe. ☕️👍🍀
I live in my 95 ford econoline in superior Wisconsin. Next time you’re in the area maybe we can get together and share some stories of the nomad life. Great channel
Your videos are so put together like a pro! I look forward to the next one!
Peace brother.
I've lived in Wisconsin all my life. And never knew about the beautiful Potato River Falls area at Gurney Wisconsin. Or the Artesian water near Ashland Wisconsin. What a eye opening video for me. Thank you for sharing this video. Have a blessed day.
Love travelling along with you. And am going to look for the mushroom seasoning and Braggs amino sauce in my local markets, you got me hungry for homemade ramen. Thank you!
In my old stomping grounds. A lot of WI has artesian wells. I lived in a duplex that had a natural artesian well as running water. It was awesome and really cold coming out. Glad to see you got see how incredible WI scenery is.
As always mr brians ...excellent report .. have ya thought aboot a lil prospecting .. 😁😎
Yeah, southeast this winter...seen enough AZ for awhile. WI falls were awesome and noodles made me go to the kitchen and boil some pasta for lunch! Stay safe. It would be interesting to know what type of seasonal job Kelly has at this time of the year. 🍂🍁🍁🍂
Cannot wait for the south east adventures ! Tired of quartz site ! Want to see what is in the south East, a mystery to me !
Lol, lots of people!!! 🤣
Great Channel!
I cannot wait be able to explore Minnesota my van needs a little bit more work.
I'm also really excited about the idea making the journey to Quartzsite Arizona by Bob Wells and the group down there ... I think it would be so much fun.
Take care everybody! I hope to run into more van campers / Van Living, again soon ! .... it was really great to run into yet another one yesterday, I'll be spending the next couple weeks on and off hanging out at the Eau Claire Dells in Marathon County wow what a beautiful place. Cheers!
Best wishes to you! Arizona is a great experience with all of the nomads there. Hope to see ya down down the road! ✌🏼
