I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. I love how you are so positive about everything. I'm from Virginia and love weekend camping in my Ford Connect.
Attitude is everything, yours is the best! I have always narrowed my travel plans through North Dakota to avoid bad weather, that may have been a mistake!
Hi Brian, You find my kind of places!!! I'm looking forward to my RV Journey starting in a month or so and it will be great getting back to nature!!! Hope to see you on the road... Safe travels!!! Gary
Gorgeous! It'll be interestin to watch you at the sugar beet harvest and see what the weather's going to be like. I hope it doesn't get too cold. Enjoy your stay at that beautiful spot that beach was fabulous! 💖🐶🐶💟
Thank you thank you for taking me along on your journey, I am really enjoying it! Have never been in the Dakotas except to pass through! This was an awesome spot to camp! God bless you and keep you well! Good luck in the sugar harvest, may you earn all you need!
Hi Brian, I just found out about van life nearly 4 mos ago now. Of the scores of TH-cam van dwellers I've watched, you are by far the most articulate, positive and down to earth. I look forward to each of your videos and am slowly watching all your past videos too. Keep on finding all these great places to enjoy!
Oh, yay! We're getting into fall in the Northern U.S. It's not sunny anymore when you wake up. It's only sunny when you wake up in July and August; the rest of the year most folks here have S.A.D. 😕North Dakota; the free-est state in the country I think I've heard? Quietness ......another gorgeous lake. Gravel and grass roads take me back in time. I could be happy there. The sound is just beautiful. A beautiful place to read books and write- just my opinion though. There's your flute! Thank you for posting, sir. What a great and true life you are living.
It's funny how loud the water is for having such little waves. It's also fun to be in the passenger seat and hope that you will explore the other camping area option, and then you do. And it was a good decision. :)
wow Brian! such peace and quiet. I cant believe how long you been out there! fantastic! I remember your first video still. Hope we can meet one day if I ever get west. I'm in Tennessee. Job family not a free Spirit yet. miss your guitar playing but like the native American flute. when I hear that flute I think there is an eagle some where above. Thanks Brian!
glad to get in one more video before we hit the road to TX we are nearly finished with the packing and heading out tomorrow....so long Eugene....hello open road! :D hope you are doing well at your beet job. See you on the flip side...
Sometimes the smoke will irritate your lungs and it feels like a cold. Zinc, airborne and other natural things like that help keep your airways intact to fight that. Germs get in your system easier when smoke and other irritants cause a cracked or irritated area of your lungs or airway. A small chunk of real garlic eaten raw will also help your airways. Stay safe and stay healthy and thanks for all you do. Hope to see you on the road soon.
I believe Sakakwea is what we call Sacajawea the Nez Pierce princess that Lewis & Clark traveled with. Either way it’s certainly a fine free place to stay. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to watching you work & more forward to when ur back on the road✌️🚐
Hey Brian, I hope you feel better by the time work starts. Thank you for the heads up on the engineer camp grounds. I was avoiding one on my way to the harvest, but now I'll check it out. Best wishes.
What a great camp ...! I think I would enjoy a week or two there ...! Please no more with the kayak talk...! The last time I lost hours on TH-cam looking at the inflatable ones..!
This is one lake you probably would not have to worry about overfishing. With the river adding nutrients I would be willing to bet in the right spot you could get easy limits.
Be sure to show us how you fix your noisy insulation. What do you do while sitting in beautiful spots like this. I hope that we will see an airiel view of the lake and land. Do you have projects on the road as you travel?
+C & B That is a good question. I hope to bring this topic into my videos by the end of this year. I have been building 2 online business' for the last year. Unfortunately this means that when I'm at these beautiful spots I am spending all of my time in the van working from my laptop. My goals for 2018 are to find a comfortable and sustainable balance of work and fun. 😊👍✌
Hey Brian...awesome adventures...said you felt a bit of a cold...wondering what you do or what your plan is for if you have a health emergency and you are out in an isolated area.....? Stay safe and be well...
Just got service to watch your latest videos. Looked like some cool spots. We've been on the road since Tuesday and it's been a little ruff to say the least. We are without our van right now due to mechanical issues. It can only get better from here I guess. It's not an adventure until something goes wrong right? Anyway keep up the good work on the videos and as always keep living the dream. ✌️
+The Bus Travelers Sorry to hear you are having van issues. If it's a VW that is definitely part of the adventure. Some of best breakdowns were in my 71 VW custom Westy. Enjoy the ride! 😊👍✌
AdventureVanMan definitely true. But we got her back today and back to camping. Our start has been a little ruff but hope it will get better from here.
I'm from Montana & North Dakota...I work in North Dakota & head to TX in the winters & work but I camp with my horse in my horse trailer :^D I just started my channel to log my adventures as well :^D
If you get Good Sam's membership you can get a little bit of Pilot/Flying J gas, dump station, and propane discount benefits, just FYI. (I have a membership myself but no affiliation.)
Hey VNman, what is your name. I watch and like but what is your first name? I must be confused, last I knew you were in ? At beet harvest. Oh well, no matter where you go it is fun and interesting. Let's see what Dougie has to offer.
Opening production of this one was AWESOME! Love me some deer flies!
Sounds like you had an epiphany at the lake. 🤗 Thanks for sharing. ✌🏿

+Pamala Peterson Thank you. Yes the Dakotas seem to get neglected. There is a lot of beautiful country up here! 😊✌
Great vid Brian Looks like a top camp mate
Been there spring 2000, second campsite on the left.
Hi Brian, I just found out about van life nearly 4 mos ago now. Of the scores of TH-cam van dwellers I've watched, you are by far the most articulate, positive and down to earth.

+Misde Sixtysix ✌💖😊
A good night's sleep can make all the difference. Nice camping area. Love the sound of water.
YOU ARE GREAT AT TAKING US WITH YOU!! GREAT NARRATION. THANKS FOR TELLING US WHERE EACH STOP IS LOCATED ALONG WITH PROS AND CONS. KEEP IT COMING🏞🏗🏜🏔🌎
Oh, yay! We're getting into fall in the Northern U.S. It's not sunny anymore when you wake up.

You always crack me up. Love it!
Brian, I love your positive spirit, and the videos you share with us. You are an inspirational being. Peace.
It's funny how loud the water is for having such little waves. It's also fun to be in the passenger seat and hope that you will explore the other camping area option, and then you do. And it was a good decision. :)
Great time of year to look for a kayak deal! New or used in the areas if the country that have harsh winters.
Great one!
Another awesome video Brian! Thanks for taking us along. Sending love💞 and light✨.
I always thought it would be cool to get one of those inflatable kayaks with a clear bottom
wow Brian! such peace and quiet. I cant believe how long you been out there! fantastic! I remember your first video still. Hope we can meet one day if I ever get west. I'm in Tennessee. Job family not a free Spirit yet. miss your guitar playing but like the native American flute. when I hear that flute I think there is an eagle some where above. Thanks Brian!
What a great place to stay ! beautiful.. have a little zen time near the water...
glad to get in one more video before we hit the road to TX we are nearly finished with the packing and heading out tomorrow....so long Eugene....hello open road! :D hope you are doing well at your beet job. See you on the flip side...
THAT is a really cool spot!!!! What a score!!! Good for you, nice to chill there before your job, enjoy!!!!
So nice to see a good vidio of different areas. Other van dwellers staying near to home!!!!so boring. Great spot.
Sometimes the smoke will irritate your lungs and it feels like a cold. Zinc, airborne and other natural things like that help keep your airways intact to fight that.

Some places just resonate. Nice spot!
What a yummy video Brian. Such quality, calm and no drama....your Full time RV channel is the best....safe travels....
Wow what a nice camping area!
I feel like I've been to that exact gas station, but they all look the same in the Dakota's
I went to college in bottineau. We would go down behind the dam and camp. Its a beautiful area there.
I believe Sakakwea is what we call Sacajawea the Nez Pierce princess that Lewis & Clark traveled with. Either way it’s certainly a fine free place to stay. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to watching you work & more forward to when ur back on the road✌️🚐
Thanks for sharing...
You passed my brother's lake house getting to Douglas Creek.
Sacagawea was the female Indian guide for the Lewis and Clark Corps of discovery which explored up the Missouri
Wonderful spot!
Beautiful
I enjoy my kayak but I really enjoy my inflatable SUP, rolls up pretty small and is a lot of fun.
Hey Brian, I hope you feel better by the time work starts. Thank you for the heads up on the engineer camp grounds. I was avoiding one on my way to the harvest, but now I'll check it out. Best wishes.
very nice location congrats
Def see a kayak in your future brian...best of luck at the beets...
Nice job
Thx
What a great camp ...! I think I would enjoy a week or two there ...! Please no more with the kayak talk...! The last time I lost hours on TH-cam looking at the inflatable ones..!
10:17. rock pickin'!

Hey Brian...awesome adventures...said you felt a bit of a cold...wondering what you do or what your plan is for if you have a health emergency and you are out in an isolated area.....? Stay safe and be well...
+Blue Bird What is a health emergency?
AdventureVanMan like a sudden onset of something...flu...or God forbid a heart issue or an appedicitis...stuff like that...

AdventureVanMan definitely true. But we got her back today and back to camping. Our start has been a little ruff but hope it will get better from here.
+The Bus Travelers On the road again🎶 Safe travels! ✌
Yes, very nice. You should check at Walmart for a kayak. They have a cheap one that would serve your needs of just paddling around.
Some of us have to live vicariously through u until we can punch our ticket
I'm from Montana & North Dakota...I work in North Dakota & head to TX in the winters & work but I camp with my horse in my horse trailer :^D I just started my channel to log my adventures as well :^D
Enjoy the adventure bro PeAce
+Greg Hinze Thanks Greg, hope you and Esch and are doing good! 😊✌
That is the proper pronunciation of Lewis and Clarke Indian woman guide Sacajawea... The j has k sound
grrrr. what a tease. ....next-
Vitamin C is your friend. :)
Watch out for ticks...
Loyal follower says pass on gas prices as you hit these spots
If you get Good Sam's membership you can get a little bit of Pilot/Flying J gas, dump station, and propane discount benefits, just FYI. (I have a membership myself but no affiliation.)
That lake is probably frozen solid in winter, eh? Brrrr....
Where is your work camping job?
North Dakota👍
Did mean to be nosy but we are in Hillsboro about to begin Sugar Beet Harvest in Reynolds. Just curious if we’d run into you.
Do you have a name for your van, ik most people name their vans and such and I was just wondering?
This works! Put three drops of Hydrogen Peroxide in each ear.
For your sinuses of course!
See. now if I was with you--I would fix that squeak for you.
5:00. you sped up---thought at first it was your driving.
Hey VNman, what is your name. I watch and like but what is your first name?
I must be confused, last I knew you were in ? At beet harvest. Oh well, no matter where you go it is fun and interesting. Let's see what Dougie has to offer.
You find some of the best places to camp. Safe and happy travels. C
