Simply put, you have one of the cleanest, reality based channels in the van life genre. I really enjoy, and seldom if ever miss one of your videos. Thank you for all of your hard work and video editing experience. Your Mom & Dad must be really nice folks.
Yup, I have been with you from the start Dude. I will be down south in January, i sure hope to meet you. Thanks for sharing your life. I was a carpenter by trade in my early days. i have since converted my tool trailer into a tiny house 6x10. So I to live in 60 square feet. Thanks again. Betty Bears nomadic travels
I’ve watched every one of your videos and I have followed you for years. I looove your content. You do more for people than provide content about van life. You help people mentally and emotionally to get through life. I don’t even camp anymore and I love your videos for a lot more than camping. God bless you
Watching this entertaining video in my new 419 Sprinter van. You were one of my inspirations. Thanks for sharing your van life over many years. You have helped me escape some tough times. Peace from Aus.
Hey I just wanted to share this recipe with you for your Crock-Pot. One block of cream cheese completely thawed in the Crock-Pot one can of cream of chicken soup whisk into the cream cheese adding water or broth as needed one packet dry Italian salad dressing, such as Good seasons but I've used the Walmart brand and it's fine. It tends to be salty so maybe don't put the whole packet in I usually do about a half a packet whisk it all in add two to three chicken breasts and slow cook for six to eight hours or on high for 3 hours and this makes great sauce for over rice or noodles or potatoes. Absolutely delicious and easy peasy meal.
Thank you for sharing the footage of the mountains around Santa Fe. Our daughter lived there for awhile and loved it and we will visit sometime after I retire in 2023.
I finally made it to retirement, got me a 2004 Coachman Concord 235. After Christmas I'll finally be heading west to join a caravan to learn the ropes!! Would love to meet you and Kelly sometime. Safe travels :)
You have the box truck looking GR8T Brian!👍 Safe travels to you and Kelly! 🙏 Keep on living your best life & Enjoying nature! 😃 You have many more miles & many more smiles ahead of you! Stay blessed!✌
That road looks pretty hard packed no problem there right... but look at the depth of those ruts can't be if it rains a lot. If rain is in the forecast I would get closer to a main road.
Yep, I think it has been about 5 years I have been watching you. You see in the winter of 2015 I cut a finger off, middle finger on my left hand. Not going to tell you how I did it. But I was laid up for a while with my left hand in a splint. Yep cut the middle finger and broke the two on each side of it. So I got in the habit of watching Boondocking videos. I found You, Ausia, Campervan Kevin, and Eric of Nomatic Fanatic .. I have been watching all 4 of you since . I really enjoy watching. Then I discovered Lidia of SimplyRVing, and the Family on Less Junk More Journey. Now I buy 2 lottery tickets per week and dream of Boondocking in the winters, then returning to my 150 year old family home in the U.P. of Michigan. My dream Boondocking vehicle is a Dually Quad Cap one ton long bed Ram with a Arctic Fox 1150 Camper. That would be perfect for boondocking. Oh I got it all figured out. So when I get sad and depressed about the conditions of our country I think about one day doing what you all are doing.. Wouldn't that be a hoot if I could actually do it the way I want... Now say ..."Oh Yea".. ~Deb
Running Grabber ATX on VW baywindow westfalia..You made a good choice..I wish LED.headlights were outlawed to many blinding incidents taking place .Halogen are bright enough. I stopped driving at night due to undue harsh headlights.
I could hear the song "Hearts and Bones" by Paul Simon when you were showing Santa Fe: ". . . Free to wander wherever they choose, Are traveling together In the Sangre de Christo, The Blood of Christ Mountains of New Mexico" . . . Even your "driving" music in the last video reminded me of it. (Ignore that it's a break-up song). 😁
I am by no means a tire expert, but from my experiences, General is a Very good tire company, and a Very good tire. Great purchase Brian, and I am loving the new headlights as well..wishing you and Kelly continued safe travels my friend!!! 🚚
@@AdventureVanMan There is a date stamped on every tire, if they are over 6 years old, no reputable garage will install them, something to remember if your shopping Craigslist or Facebook Market place for tires, which I often do, cause there are great deals to be had out there, just don't get burnt, always check the date on them, and that goes for new ones also..If you get new tires that are a year or two old, you can frequently get a better deal negotiating, they already know most people won't check, but the official "life" of any tire ends at 6 years...
Hey Brian , I think that the Grabber ATs will make you a real decent tire. I had them on my Jeep and was very happy with them , they handled and rode real well. I had around 30,000 miles on them when I sold the vehicle and they were still in really good condition and had a lot of miles left in them , plus they are US made. Please stay away form the China bomb tires. I think that was a good choice on headlamps too , price is very reasonable for what they are. Thumbs UP and safe travels to you and Kelly.
Looking good Brian! I literally just put those in my bus a few months ago, the exact same ones. They are super bright, waaaaay brighter than my old ones, was super stoked and now i dont mind driving at night as much on the short rainy days here in the PNW. Cheers, fun safe travels to you!
Best channel on TH-cam i really admire your Videos and your channel. Nothing over pumped nice and simple. I really don't know why do you not have more Subscribers than this because you definitely deserve it. Keep up to great Videos and stay safe Brian. Peace ✌🏻️
With those larger tires and totally different headlight set up I would recommend you find a shop and have the light aimed properly. The biggest complaint about lights blinding drivers is caused by poor aim. Love the video's where you are working on the van. Stay safe.
Bonjour Brian see you .Buses by the Bribge .Lake Havasu AZ. Going to be around mid January .Hopefully will see you then. Keep us posted 📫. And Bonjour to Kelly.
Been with you since you were city dwelling in San Diego. Letting us all in on your journey is really appreciated! I'm 5 years in living on the road hopefully many more to go 🤞I'll be in the Havasu-Parker area in a couple weeks I'll try and make it to the meet up. Peace Brother ✌
I'm really liking the 2 videos a week and the mechanics working on your vehicle. Being a girl it's helpful to see these things. Thanks! I've been watching you for as long as I can remember.
I'm a vanlifer too been running the grabber atx for about 1 year your going to love them great road handing and good grip off road great traction in winter low road noise good choice get the spare too because theyre tall love your show keep up the good work
Outstanding Brian. Got to love those headlamps safer for night travel. I have a bar LED light on my motorhome. Now I try to avoid night driving because of the amount of wildlife on the roads, but on the occasion when we have had to drive LED is the way to go.🙏❤️
Thanks Brian, really enjoying the regular updates even though it may be a little demanding of you. Cheers from Coffs Harbour, down under, we love your stuff as we continue to follow your journey
You'll love your All -Terrain tires. I had Centennial street tires on my Toyota Tacoma and switched to BF Goodrich AT KO2s and love them . Better braking was the first thing I noticed, no road noise and less worries going off road . Glad you stuck with a good brand name
I did enjoy the video (as always) 👍 Loving the new tires and lights! Beautiful area, I'd love to wake up there every morning for a few weeks and explore on the mtn or gravel bike (or a good dual sport motorcycle too). I've been watching for a couple years myself, time flies, lol 😆 Happy Monday, my friend 😊 ✌
Can I just fly down to where the meet up is and hang out with you and all the rv/van lifers meet up? 🤣 kidding, hopefully some day I'll be on the road. 💜
I recommend Craggy Wash just north of Lake Havasu, AZ. My dad and I have stayed there a couple times! I drive over from Albuquerque to meet him there. It’s a beautiful area!
That is a beautiful area Brian. Really enjoy following your journey's. I don't know why but I am always so happy when you and Kelly are able to get recqainted and spend time together.
You know, in my time I have travelled about five million miles just around the USA. I have lots of stories, of living in a car in the woods for a few weeks to living in a big rig and enjoying Nature, to RVs and more. It would be cool to meet you sometime. I ;ive in San Diego, a couple miles from Sea Workd, in PB. :)
Simply put, you have one of the cleanest, reality based channels in the van life genre. I really enjoy, and seldom if ever miss one of your videos. Thank you for all of your hard work and video editing experience. Your Mom & Dad must be really nice folks.
The only one I can watch. Vanlifer TH-camrs are so cringe.
I watch this one & less junk more journey & Dave's RV life .
I don't know why he doesn't have more subs,
@@charlenejohnson2187 Love Less Junk More Journey.

Whatever gear that you're using to film...it shows clear & perfectly. It's like I'm actually there with you.

That was interesting, that looks like a peaceful spot. The new tires and lights look great.
.... had Generals on my beautiful stretchcab, when I lived in Texas the first time, in the 80's.
love those lights too . Any plans to install rear lights ?
I've been following your channel since the dodge van. Enjoying ever bit of it. Be safe.
I'm in Quartzsite if you do come through stop and say howdy!!!
Will do Dan! Gotta check out that giant van you have now!! 🤣🤣✌🏼
Howdy neighbor, digging your new mega van project.
Tire Rack will ship directly to an installer.

General A/T have a good reputation. Nice plug and play head lights. Enjoyed the everyday at camp.
Once again you found a stellar spot.
Van life ain't all about running down the road. Glad to see real "reality" content.
Meetup in AZ in January? Count us in.
Ive enjoyed your channel Brian, its clean and no drama like some. New tires and headlights look good. Ive been watching at least 4 years.
Great Look on the Box Van headlights and tires ❤️❤️ Glad you're reunited with Kelly ✌️
I have been following you for at least five years, you always have good and simple content and you keep it real 😎👍

Stay out of the ruts fo sure! 👍🏼✌🏼
I'm glad to see Kelly can be with you again. Thanks for the information today. Nice area. 👍
Thanks for taking us along!
Glad see you two are back Camping together.
The tires and headlights will make a difference I bet. Especially as much dirt road driving as you do. Really good video and info too. Thanks!
Glad Kelly is back 💕
Great mountain views glad to see Kelly made it back safely. Next time let us see her smiling face.......... ty for sharing
Saw,a couple in a box truck lie yours,
Back Door painted green,plants,in

Hi Brian!
Glad you got some miles out of those original tires. The new tires and led lights look light a worthy upgrade. 👍 Peace to you and Kelly. ✌️
You're up early, please be safe

Luv your new tires. Luv how calm u are. Luv seeing the beauty in your travels.
Always look forward to watching your new adventures.

The new tyres look really good, they've got some real grunt to them 🏋️♂️
Nice tires and headlights! Great upgrades for sure. Really appreciate your videos. Thanks!
My Monday morning Zen!

Good to see you folks back together!
Killing it with those consistent uploads! Also love the info on the heads lights I had no idea a 2010 would have them.
I am glad Kelly is with you! Cheers!
New shoes and lights, got to love it. As always Brian, great video.
+10000. Поздравляю с новыми шинами )
I’ve been watching since your “stuck in the mud” video about 5 years ago. Good to see you doing so well!
I am by no means a tire expert, but from my experiences, General is a Very good tire company, and a Very good tire. Great purchase Brian, and I am loving the new headlights as well..wishing you and Kelly continued safe travels my friend!!! 🚚
I love NM area. So beautiful.
Those mountains should have a lot more snow on them this time of year.
Some nice looking improvements to the van. When you are able to, please show us what your new lights look like at night.
Hey Brian....great upgrades for the truck....nice.... Hugs to Kelley... thanks for the video ✌️
Nice to see a Hot Jugz portable shower in some shots; I've had one for a dozen years.
Lol, that’s just a weed sprayer bottle I got at Home Depot! 👍🏼✌🏼
Thanks for sharing another fantastic video! Be well and safe ! Give Kelly a hug from me.
The old tires had lots of tread left.
I did the same when I purchased a used RV but those tires where 7 years old with only 23k miles.
Yep, mine were at the 7 year mark to.

Wow - taht scenery - how awesome!
5° here this morning with 20 mph winds. Enjoy that weather.
Tires & headlights both look good. Hope they serve you well.✌
Glad to see you two vans that means Kelly back yeah
Great video! I love that area and Red River and Taos! Be safe and blessed!

I agree general makes a good tire for the price. I got them on my truck.
Brian, here from the beginning in SD with the old Dodge van. it has been awesome. Kelly's back! Stay safe and take care.
Looking good Brian! I literally just put those in my bus a few months ago, the exact same ones. They are super bright, waaaaay brighter than my old ones, was super stoked and now i dont mind driving at night as much on the short rainy days here in the PNW. Cheers, fun safe travels to you!

Peace ✌🏻️
Headlights swap makes a great difference and those tires should help as well. Truck is looking good. Thanks for the great views of the mountains
Getting to meet you & Kelly would be devine. Still looking for an affordable yet dependable vehicle 🙏🙏🙏❣️
Mogollon rim super nice ,Sedona! , Camp Verde , Cotton Wood areas warm free areas can be found there been there for a winter a few years ago nice
Awe yay Kelly is back. Hi Kelly!
Love the Sangre de Christo (The Blood of Christ) mountains!
With those larger tires and totally different headlight set up I would recommend you find a shop and have the light aimed properly. The biggest complaint about lights blinding drivers is caused by poor aim. Love the video's where you are working on the van. Stay safe.
Thank you! I would do a video showing how to adjust headlights but it’s tricky to film on the dark! 👍🏼✌🏼
looks like. a great area. craggy wash would be good for the meet up
Bonjour Brian see you .Buses by the Bribge .Lake Havasu AZ. Going to be around mid January .Hopefully will see you then. Keep us posted 📫. And Bonjour to Kelly.
