    I just wanted to tell you that my husband was a huge fan from the beginning. He was One of your first subscribers.He followed your journey, celebrating all your successes and we would patiently await your next videos. You brought him many hours of joy, and inspired him to become a nomad., thank you for that.
    Thank you for being such a good influence in his life. We were able to enjoy “vanlife” for 2 yrs in our converted shuttle bus. We were in the process of converting a cargo trailer when he sadly passed away suddenly on July 4th.
    This is the first time I have been able to watch. I may have cried the whole video, not because it was sad but because it was something we always did together. We never watched one without being together.
    I’m looking forward to seeing your continued adventures of you and Kelly. Thank you again for all great adventure!

    Missed you, been looking forword your return. Look out for floods every where. Yellowstone had a real bad flood, Flagstaff and Phoenix and a lot of thoes areas. Also Kentucky got hit real hard. Utah also has flooding.Check the weather reports before you make any travel plans because a lot of things got washed away. If its not flooding its burning. Good luck and be safe.

This time of year (Aug) is gonna be hot East of the Cascades.. Oregon & Wash. Western Wash is much more temperate..tho we just finished a week of 90° weather. Looks like that is behind us.. nothing warmer than the lower 80° 👍 Take care & enjoy the journey my friend 😁✌️

    3) Your personality and videos help me take a deep breath and continue on. Thanks for “being you”.

    Welcome back to your home. First video back and it was epic! Never second a move when it comes to safety. Plus the bike ride was fun to watch. Comment on the heat. You have seen my rig and this summer I cut a hole in the back door and installed a small cargo door. I then made a shelf and have a 2 by 2 on the outside and one on the inside to support the weight of my 5,000 BTU A.C. unit. I have 630 watts of solar and can run the A.C. with no issues if the sun is out. Battery just stays in float mode. I can also run it off my 1,000 watt generator if I would need to but haven't yet. Not sure how long it could run at night but with your battery set up I bet you would get a good run time. It would certainly cycle at night as the temps cool down. You probably already know all this but just wanted to throw it out there. Stay safe and look forward to your adventures.
