*Who are we?*
We’re Victoria & Craig! In 2021, we decided that we needed to make life a little more exciting, so we bought a used fifth wheel and completely renovated it. Then, we sold our house in Tallahassee, Florida and hit the road full time in our RV! We’ve traveled all around the United States (and Baja Mexico!) and fell in love with boondocking in our RV at the most beautiful places. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100. You’ll always find us on some kind of outdoor adventure, whether it’s hiking the Grand Canyon, rock climbing in Yosemite or surfing the shores of Baja Mexico. Subscribe to our channel (bit.ly/3ssOjGT) to follow along on our full time RV living adventures!
Victoria ….girl it’s just a tooth. They can fix teeth so easily now. You’re beautiful inside and out and no tooth will change that. You’re an adventure girl…bumps and bruises are part of it. Glad you’re ok.
Amen! My pastor was a kid and he was playing football and they knocked his new adult front tooth out and they grabbed it put it in milk went to the dentist and the dentist reattached the nerves and roots and today he is almost 50 and it’s going strong.. God is so good!!
With a chipped tooth, you still have one of the prettiest smiles on the internet. 🤗 You two are gems, blessings!
You might want to invest in bike helmets. It’s amazing how much damage can be done to your head when having a bike accident.
I’ve ridden thousands of miles over the years. I’ve only had a couple of minor accidents, and one where I woke up in a cat scan machine at the hospital. The officer who investigated said if it wasn’t for my helmet, I may not have survived. The helmet was broken in two. I don’t remember the accident at all. But I’ve made a full recovery, and I still ride a LOT. I’d never ride without a helmet. It only takes once. Craig and Victoria, I realize they may not look cool, but a helmet could save your life, too. Sorry to be a buzzkill. I love your videos, although every time you get on your bikes, I yell “You should wear helmets!”
If yer going faster than you can run or are higher than you can jump you need a helmet. I’m an old horse trainer and I got old cause I wear a helmet EVERY TIME I RIDE. And I’ve got a nice collection of smashed helmets that would have been my head.❤
Helmets ARE cool! Go to a bike shop and choose among some really cool ones! Find the one that makes you look pro or you can go fast & you’re all set. My Lazer is fantastic & unfortunately I have to get a new helmet this year.
Of course since electric bikes go so fast you may need a different type.
Congrats on the 60 days!
thank you!!
Victoria what a champ you are!!❤
Victoria, you are a trooper. We love watching you 2. We call you The Kids. We are retiring Jan of 2025 and we are planning now. Watching you 2 and others for wisdom and ideas and how to's. We will get our new 5th wheel in a few months and hopefully get it all ready for us so we can sell the house. We are in Maryland and can't wait to leave. God Bless you both.
Thought they were Our Kids! 🙂We'll Share! Happy birthday, Victoria! So glad to see your dogs. It brings a smile to us. Our traveling buddy died May 4th. We miss him so and tomorrow is our first camping trip without him. 🥲
Didn't you have the helmets on. I thought I saw them. It doesn't keep the teeth protected though.
Love how you always compliment one another.
It makes me have faith in humanity that people do not speak about your teeth.
I have bad front teeth from a horse injury when I was younger. We were poor my parents could never get it fixed and as an adult it is now over $10,000 to fix. I’d rather take the ridicule than spend that kind of money. Thanks guys for always putting out clean decent content.
Happy Birthday Victoria! Thank you both for sharing your journey with us... Please please get helmets though, luckily teeth can be repaired but it could have been worse. Be well!
thank you so much! and yes, it could have been worse for sure!
So sad and so sorry for your fall. You’re a trooper. What a memory but they should help you. Blessings
Congratulations on completing 60 days! Sorry about your tooth but the fix looks great!
You have such a beautiful smile! We felt so bad for you sitting on your bike, on the trail in pain 😢. Glad you are feeling better!! Really enjoy watching 2 enjoy life on the road. Looking forward to the next one!
We love Seneca helmets good quality and you can Bluetooth connect with each other. Perfect biking
good tip, thank you!
Hell of a sponsorship video!
You both are awesome, we just added that ghost town to our travels in 2 months! Thank you both! Craig enjoy that shower!
Oh yay!! Hope you enjoy it, we found it so interesting, especially all the history behind it, be sure to get the run down from the people at the visitors center!
Where did you get your bike rack? We have those same bikes and need a rack.
Happy Birthday Victoria 🎉
That tooth repair was less money than getting 20 porcupine quills out or dog Chloe’s snout this week !
Chris & Mary
Oh man!! sorry yall had to do that! Vet bills can be no joke... Maverick cost us severallll thousand when he was just about a year old 😅
@@wildrvlife
Did Victoria have much pain the next day? We felt so bad for her!
Living The Best Life There❤
Glad you are ok, Victoria! Craig..…. agree 100% with your trail mix choice!!! The BEST 😁
It's soon good!
Dudes! Wear a Freakin’ Helmet!
They did
Oh mY!! I hope you healed quickly!! Glad you made the 60 days!! I can't imagine doing that..
thank you!! and thank you for joining us for the challenge, it was a fun series!
Thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to watch. Definitely going to check out the ghost town and camping spot. I’m a may Taurus also wish you guys the best always. Don’t watch tv or news anymore so on Sunday I watch you guys and sailing good bad and ugly wholesome entertainment you guys. They are a couple whom bought some property in South America and are winging it as they build there dream stead cute down to earth couple bringing me positive enlightening shows.. can’t wait for the next episode and new challenge haha😂 love ❤
Happy Birthday Victoria!!!!❤❤❤❤
It sounds like Core-da-lane.
Omg! I'm so glad you're ok!! That's so scary!! The tooth looks great!! I've broken mine too.
Thank you so much!!!
Oh Victoria, I'm sorry about your boo boos. Congratulations on reaching your 60 day boondocking challenge. You two always make me laugh!! 😂
You guys are the best!!!! Remind me of the wife and I... Love your videos so much. Can't wait to see the upcoming adventures!!! Be safe guys and keep those videos coming.
I'm so sorry Victoria, a crash like that is traumatic and a shock to the system. I hope you got checked out at the ER too. Let yourself have some TLC and rest so you can feel better. You seem like a very strong person, and you'll bounce back, just need a little time and rest.
thank you so much 🙏
Happy Birthday 🥳🥳🥳🥳 one word, helmet…….please.
So sorry you got hurt Victoria 🤕
So random: I moved from IL to Tacoma on 90 starting on Mothers Day and ended up staying in Coeur D' Alene at this exact RV park due to high winds expected in Washington Thursday afternoon and Friday. I walked to Cedars restaurant and saw the Brinkley and thought...I wonder if that's Craig and Victorias rig 🤔🤔🤔🥰 Congratulations on your 60 days and hope you are all healed up.
Happy Happy Awesome Birthday to you Victoria! You rock
VERY Important adjust the front break to stop about 30% less pressure.
Victoria you are an amazing trooper. Glad you’re okay.
Excellent video! You guys will continue to grow! 👏 Enjoyed it!
another great video. Glad you were not seriously injured and that "repairs" have been made. My first thought was to say I am only 60 so have not graduated to e-bikes yet, so I am unable to comment on an ebike accident, but that would have been rude. :) So what I will say instead is that it is amazing sometimes how quickly something can go wrong and an accident can happen. You guys handled that one really well. I am really enjoying your channel and looking forward to the next phase of your journey. The 60 day boondocking challenge was excellent. Continued safe travels and take care of yourselves....Honestly hope we run into you folks someday on the road. You just seem like really fine people...
At or around 8:30 when you are spraying lubricant into your goose neck hitch. On your next short travel day try putting wax paper, yes waw paper, on the ball portion of the hitch. Been doing this for years and it protects the ball somewhat from getting married and does not collect any dirt at all.
Oh interesting!! We might have to try that!
Happy Late Birthday Ms. Victoria sorry for your accident but the Dentist did a great job on fixing your tooth , and congratulations on completing the boondocks challenge. My grandson and I are wanting to try boondocking. We lo e watching you and Craig.keep up the great videos and take care you two.
thank you so much!! and I hope you can get out there and try boondocking, it is such a fun experience! thanks for joining us on our adventures!
So glad your ok Victoria 👍 thank you for bringing us along on another scenic adventure and Happy birthday Victoria
thank you!
Bless your heart! We could hardly watch it, but we're glad you're ok! You guys remind us so much of our kids I think we kinda choked up when you got hurt. 😢❤
aww thank you so much ❤ Feeling nearly 100% now, much better!
Crazy!!! The dentist office is 3 minutes down the road where we first became full time RVers from! CDA Rv resort but it’s actually in post falls :)
The bumps and scrapes of life and just happy you’re ok 👍.
thank you!! feeling much better now
We love the videos. Glad to see you weren't hurt too bad. Boondocking is awesome but sometimes it is nice to stay in a park. We have stayed in Coeur d'Alene at the Blackwell Island RV park, as well. Such a beautiful area.
I'm from Idaho and a full timer. Idaho has millions of acres of boondocking opportunities.
Wow! This sucks! Glad you are okay for the most part. Perfect opportunity for one of these cool bike helmet companies to send you a helmet to review for them. Even Lectric. The Sena Bluetooth helmets are pretty good which allow you both to speak to one another, listen to music and take phone calls all through the helmet. Way to complete this creative challenge. We enjoyed it and seems like it went so fast. What is the next challenge?
I lost a front tooth from an IED blast. I obsessed with fixing it for years. Now I just leave it and wear it as a badge of honor!
Congratulations! Overall it looks like you had some pretty amazing sites! Sorry you got hurt and I'm glad it wasn't worse.
Craig and Victoria, you are such a fun couple! Victoria, your tooth looks perfect! I’m sorry you had that accident, but glad that you are doing well.
I broke my front tooth decades ago. Bonding was really new back then, I was fortunate to have a teaching dentist next door who used bonding to fix it beautifully! He said it would last about 10 years, which it did…it broke off a week or two before my wedding!!! I was able to get it fixed in time for the big day, and I’ve had it done one more time since then. No root canal! So no need to worry about it. 😊
Thanks for sharing your lives with us. We love your humor and your dedication to each other and to your dogs. ❤
Y'all need to come take a tour of the Jack Daniel distillery.
You could look us up on boondockers welcome and boondock at our place.
Looks good. Rock on. Congratulations on the Challenge.
Wow . Thank heavens you didn't break more than a tooth..yikes. Glad things turned out ok . Wishing you safe travels and be safe.
Earned a subscriber for noting some history of my home state of Montana. Many are not aware of even the limited bit you all shared. Very cool!
Way to go....60 days is a lot of boondocking! I'll have to remember that left lever is front brake.....our new Lectric bikes will be here any day now!!!
Great video! So sad about your fall. I’m happy you’re recovering well though!!!
Hope you are feeling better Victoria. Stay safe and healthy.
feeling much better now, thank you!
Hope your ok , love the videos!!
Congratulations on completing your challenge. And Happy Birthday!!! We love our lectric bikes, just always use both brakes equally, not just one or the other. Love your videos.
Victoria, you are a trooper! You handeled the face plant and chip tooth like a champ! I am glad the Dentist was able to give you your smile back. 🙂
thank you!! I was so impressed with the dental work!
So glad you're ok! I have a Lectric Etrike and love it, I love all your ebike adventures and glad this isn't going to scare you away from riding!
We are huge fans of you channel. We binge watch you guys when we are on the road and when we stay put for a while. Victoria, our hearts when out to you when you shared your accident story and your broken tooth. We are glad you are on the mend and puching forward. Your smile is beautiful, and unless you told someone it would be impossible to tell there was a dental injury. We think you guys are cute and we love your passion and energy. Looking forward to your Canada / Alaska adventure!
Congrats
Happy Birthday Victoria! And congrats you guys for completing your challenge. Victoria, I’m so sorry about your crash and glad it wasn’t any worse. Hope you’re feeling better in your next video.
Happy Bday! What a great way to celebrate by being eligible for a long, hot shower! I assume this was filmed a bit ago, but I’m May 14.
Thank you and Happy birthday to you too!! Mine is technically May 1st, but we gotta celebrate the whole month of course! 😄
So sorry for your bike crash but happy that the doc was able to fix that pretty little smile 😊. Way to keep going ❤
Great video like always. Victoria sorry you got hurt though. Mandy
So sorry Victoria, I hope you’re feeling better ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your Bannack visit. For anyone interested I reached out to the Bannack State Park and asked about bringing dogs. They do allow dogs (on leash) inside all the buildings. Victoria I have fallen like that while traveling and its no fun. I'm glad to see you recovered from your fall.
Happy birthday!
Omg!! So sorry!!!! Scrapes hurt so bad!!! Sending hugs!!! (I know it happened a while ago but for us it was today). You are a real trooper!
Your smile looks fantastic!!!
Happy birthday, Victoria! 🎉💖🎉💖🎉 You guys 'kilt' 😊 it on the boondocking challenge.😊😊😊 I'm so sorry about Victoria's accident. However, I'm glad that she's alright. I look forward to your Sunday videos, and I'm ready to get on the road myself. We're weekenders, but RV'rs on a smaller scale. Stay safe out there and blessings to you both. 😊😊😊😊😊
Good afternoon Mr. Craig and Mrs. Victoria and happy birthday.🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
glad you made it
thank you!!
Victoria, we hope you had a wonderful birthday day. Sorry about your accident and the dentist did an amazing job on your tooth!! We love to watch you both every week.
Suggestion, blue tape for back and fawn (brown) for front brake. Stay safe
So sorry about your accident, Victoria. Praying for complete healing and restoration. Your smile is Beautiful! Also, that the pain will go away. You are so brave, beautiful, and such a good sport about everything. We love watching your show. I, too, flipped over the handlebars one time. Now I remember that my right brake is for the rear to avoid future accidents. Right for rear. God bless you both and safe travels wherever you go. 🥰
Happy Birthday Victoria!!!
thank you!
Congratulations and Happy Birthday!
thank you so much!
So glad you are ok after the accident. That was an amazing campsite but that road was a big challenge. Have a great time in Canada, hope to see you when you head back to the US later this year. Miss you guys.- Wander On- Kyle and Michelle
I love the music you have accompanying all the different chapters of this vid. The music during the ghost town was hilarious.
thank you so much!
Happy BD... glad you recovered quickly. We have had our own mishapps and ER visits on the road. Congrats on completing the BD challenge.
thank you so much! And for joining us for the challenge!
Happy happy birthday Victoria
Oh we felt so bad for you. So glad you were able to get it fixed so quickly.
Idaho by far have the most beautiful campgrounds. Lava Hot springs is really fun little town in the summer too when they open the pubic pool.
So glad you’re okay Victoria! Your tooth looks great too! Congratulations on completing your 60 days- so enjoy watching your adventures and learning so much along the way. My husband and I are looking to purchase a Brinkley and hit the road when he retires in the near future so all we can learn in the meantime is a great help! You guys are so fun and we love how down-to-earth you both are! Safe travels!
Happy happy birthday Victoria!!!!
thank you!! 😄
Happy belated birthday Victoria, and quick heal on bike accident damage.
thank you so much!
Congrats on the 60 days. Ouch on the crash.
Good series guys! So glad you didn’t hurt yourself more than you did! Feel better! Can’t wait for Alaska!
thank you so much for joining us on the series! We are so excited for Alaska!
Sorry about the accident. You picked up the bike.... fired it up..... and had the tooth fixed. True grit young lady.
thank you!! 😄 I was on a mission to get to the dentist as fast as possible lol
Happy birthday! Sorry about your tooth. Feel better soon.
thank you! feeling much better now!
Glad you are ok!! Back off the adjustment a bit on the front brake so that it still assist in slowing/stopping but wont lock that front wheel up.
yes! I don't know why I grabbed it so hard. Definitely wasn't really thinking it through lol
Happy belated birthday and congrats on fulfilling the 60 day challenge. You two rock! Sorry about your "spill," but I'm glad it all worked out okay. That's the adventure of life; not all good and pretty, but always worthwhile. Wishing you safe travels, good roads, and good weather!
thank you so much!! and thanks for joining us on our challenge, it was quite the journey!
Wow! We love Coeur d'Alene. We also stayed at Blackwell's and rode the fantastic Coeur d'Alene trail. The tooth looks great!
Bless your heart, Victoria. I'm glad you found a great dentist. We love your videos. Safe travels. ❤
thank you so much!
My wife Belinda and I enjoy your videos. Great to see that you are ok and that they could fix the tooth.
Happy birthday, and may you have many many more!
What is shame about the accident. I’m glad you were here too seriously. My sister tried to jump her horse over an obstacle and the horse threw her. She lost three teeth! She wears an insert now with three fake teeth attached to it, and you can’t tell the difference. By the way, I’m hoping to buy some wild RV life apparel, but have had no luck whatsoever searching for it on the Internet.
We're so sorry about your accident! Glad you're ok! I totally cracked a corner of my front tooth off years ago when I dove into a swimming pool in college years ago! I felt your "pain".
Also, CDA is part of our old stomping grounds! Fun to see all the familiar sights! We're just about and hour and a half south of there.
Love you guys! Marilyn and Garry C.
Oh man!! although, after all these comments, I'm realizing we definitely aren't the only ones to have broken our front teeth 😅 We really enjoyed CDA so much! the downtown area is so pretty
Victoria, here is a way of remembering which brake is which, right handle, rear brake, they both start with "R". We bike riders call those scratches "honour scares", you tell another bike rider about the fact that those scares happened while riding and they'll go wow, HONOUR SCARES. (but don't say why it happened, that part you ALWAYS leave out...LOL) Congrats on the 60 days of Boondocking!!! Oh and 🥳 Happy Birthday to you!!!! Hi Craig, EH!!!
Happy birthday Victoria 🎉🎉🎉
thank you!!
Happy Birthday Victoria
thank you!!
So glad you’re ok! I chipped both front teeth in 2nd grade on my way home from school. I’m 62 now but remember it vividly! Stitches in the chin too because I also landed face first on the ground. Glad they were able to fix it so fast and it wasn’t more serious injuries. BTW, you’re beautiful inside and out, chipped tooth or not. Have a good day and be careful! 😊oh love the hummingbird planter, I have the same one!
My heart goes out to you, Victoria.
Good repair job 😁! Congrats on completing your 60 days!
thank you! and yes! I was so impressed with the dentist
Victoria you got so lucky!
I was very blessed that it wasn't any worse!
