    Millie did a great job at filming your jumping off the cliff. Really good camera work for a dog, especially as she had to wait for 10 minutes until you finally jumped

      Daniel L UH OH Our Honeypie’s been busted! No solo. That white car always driving in front with the black roof topper gave it away. But on the other hand I’m no longer lying awake worried he’s gonna be caught alone and in some big trouble somewhere! P.S. he’s not really vegan! 😭

    I died when Millie was just chillin and sunbathing on the rock! So cute and funny.

    As a 18 year old man and you are escaping multiple wild fires all by yourself, ETHAN IS A SUPER BRAVE MAN!!!!! In future episode, let us know of any technology you could use to see forest fires (weather channel). The Maps are a big improvement.

  • @colinmcafee608

    Okay Ethan, time to confess for the evidence is out there:
    1) Someone held the camera for your jump into the river.
    2) When you video through the van windshield while driving, you are always seemingly following the same white car with a roof rack of some kind.
    Just curious you know. Traveling can be more fun with friends around you. I've done solo and group motorcycle trips. I remember the group trips as ultimately more fun.
    Stay safe in eastern Oregon. Your choice of roads should you need to escape are more limited, and keep that gas tank as full as conveniently possible.
    Stay safe, buddy. We love you and Millie.

    Aside from fearing for your safety, Ethan, I've been impressed at your ability to put together this amazing video. You're growing both as a young man and a talented videographer. Now get the heck out of there, guy.

    Sadly, this "hell" seems to becoming the annual norm on the west coast. Glad you got to see some of the calm before the storm. Stay safe. Treasure these experiences.

    I dare you to say "hot as balls" again. Frankly, I'm really glad to hear that you are OK and got the hell outta there. You kept it together in what I'm sure was a very stressful situation for you. Stay safe!

    Wow, a whole new vibe in this video. Such a beautiful area and so sad that wild fires are destroying so much and making it so difficult for those people. Glad you are safe. Although I am sure you have really good judgement I still worry for you. Glad you have Millie, you look out for her and she looks out for you. Have a great day and stay healthy.

    What a perfect swimming spot! 😍 Impressive jump, we would be too scared 😁
    Glad you made it to safety!

    • @harleygould7255
      @harleygould7255 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly, with no one else at that parking spot, and with that great place to swim, I would've skinny dipped. Ok, Ethan couldn't show us that....swimming in undies wouldn't have been a big deal.... he should probably have a snorkel and mask, for such occasions...and a camera he can take underwater...

    • @robertstruder4434

      Tommy and Peter, take on more calories. There really is such a thing as too thin, fellas.

    @bobsykes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Oh man, talk about capturing a moment. I live in CA, fortunately in small town not threatened by fire directly, but the orange sky, that daytime darkness, and the rainfall of white ash has been happening for days. What a crazy time for you to be out here! Take care, Ethan!

    This is really scary, i don't think I would've known what to do in this situation. The fact that you kept your cool the whole time makes me look up to you. I hope you're in a safe place right now, E

  • @kevinburford1645
    @kevinburford1645 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I am glad you are safe. Check your air filter on your truck because ash will get in and try to clog the filter. Hope you have a awesome day.

    The geological event that we know as elnino is tapering off on a grand scale. Cooler temperatures will continue to prevail along with the gulf stream. Only you can prevent forest fires.

  • @tytn9978
    @tytn9978 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    What an experience to go through; I am trying to remember the quote about a "fearsome beauty" ... your pictures of the blazing orange sky reminded me of that phrase: beauty encapsulated in such a destructive force. Stay safe!

    I live in California and was about 3 hours away from the closet fire, but our skies looked like that. We could smell the smoke in the air and ash particles would rain down on us. My SUV would be covered in ash every morning and it was difficult on the lungs. I was dusting in my house every single day due to how heavy it was. We are in the Central Valley, surrounded by these fires and the wind would bring it in to us. I am glad you are safe and made it through this harrowing ordeal. You Millie and your camera man (😂😏) must’ve been so freaked out and the thought of being that close to the raging fires would have stressed me out for sure. I promise you that it’s much nicer in late winter and early spring. Unfortunately, these fires have become the norm here. Love ya and be safe ❤️

    @detectenergy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry for having to run from wildfires, but this was your best video yet. You point out that sometime when your "chillin" with van life, it turns into a lot of work. From a quiet dip in clear mountain stream to running from deadly wildfires. By the way, that was an awesome leap off the cliff, good job Ethan.

    How frightening! Ethan, you have been in my thoughts for days. The news coverage of all the wildfires going on is alarming to say the least. I know you are smart and can take care of yourself. Please don't take any chance. I cannot stand the thought of anything happening to you or Millie.

  • @infledermaus
    @infledermaus ปีที่แล้ว

    I live in Northern California and I know what you went through. The fires are scary, but when the ashes are raining, the fires can be 20 miles away. Ashes are light and are carried in upper winds. 😉

    I'm so glad you and Millie are safe. As soon as I realized you were near those fires I got very concerned. Lots of people died driving down the roads in last years fires. I think you can check with the Highway Patrol for safe travel routes. That swimming hole was a bit of heaven for sure. It was incredibly beautiful. I loved the shot of Millie lying on that rock at the swimming hole too. Please be safe and avoid those fires. Thanks for sharing.
