    So, those guards (or whoever stopped you from sleeping in the parking lot) were absolutely right. Circus Circus is a horrible place to be after dark. There's a reason you were alone in that parking lot! I've lived in Vegas for nearly 20 years, and the North side of the Strip, behind the casinos, is one of those places you just don't go. You didn't get caught as much as you got some helpful advice!

      Either Henderson, Nelson, or Eldorado Lake Bed would be a better option than Vegas Strip. Lived here since 1986, I avoid Circus Circus and the Strat area at all times.

      ​@@shuriKen469 there's some videos on here that kinda show it at night. You have a lot of drug addicts down that way, many of whom can be pretty violent. There's some gang activity and other things you just don't want to be in the vicinity of. Tourists are primary targets on those backstreets.

      I agree that Rocko is blessed with a lot of energy but for sheer running ability I don't think I've ever seen anything better than Andrew Camarata's dog Cody. Andrew goes cruising around his mountain top and Cody runs in front of him blazing a trail. He should be a greyhound.

    In my opinion, Rocko is so attached to you that if you left her for a few months, she would be heartbroken. She wouldn't understand the separation. Merry Christmas to you and I am glad you are enjoying your visit in the States. Give Rocko a special treat for me. Love you and the wonderful Rocko!!

      Huge fan of Forest Forest and Rocko. Please dont roast me ........... Rocko seems to be the dominate of the 2.... She is living life on her terms , not sure if its just the breed or Simon just lets her get away with it. The one video I saw when Simon tried to move her off a pillow and she showed her teeth in disapproval , or when she just helps herself to Simons food , not to mention the constant mooching is a sure sign. None of my business , just saying in IMHO a dog needs to know his or her place other wise the dog will have less respect for the owner. Everybody with a dog will have a different view. THATS JUST ME.

      It's some good life advice as well, so many people, buy stuff because they think they need it, or because someone else has it. You even see it with many vanlifers as well, trying to fit a regular home with all their stuff into a van. I mean if you can do without plates, that's less baggage to haul around.
      Although i do admit, one plate seems like a nice thing to have.

You two are great together!! BTW, as the mother of a set of identicals, Crocky II, the crazy one that ran away to Vegas gave me a good chuckle.

      100% correct on that one I went there towards the end of last year around November when the pandemic restrictions were a little lighter I saw multiple fights in the streets I simply assumed it was because of those pandemic checks that were being given out but apparently it's not gotten much better from what the news reports have said truly unfortunate because not too far from the strip there is some great BLM land with a nice one-way Loop you can ride a bike around or drive around to see the scenery

    - Water (or preferably broth) + Rice = 2 to 1 ratio = (2 liquid + 1 rice + 2 Tbsp butter)
    - Wash rice
    - Boil the liquid first with butter added - DO NOT ADD RICE INTO COLD LIQUID
    - Add washed rice to hot liquid and bring back to boiling point
    - Turn down to low simmer, cover and simmer for 15 minutes - DO NOT OPEN LID
    - When done remove from heat, rest covered for 10 minutes - DO NOT OPEN LID
    - When times up, fluff rice with fork

    Congratulations on finding a sibling Crockpot! One that sings. Seriously should be your intro. I haven’t gotten the ‘knock’ yet. There’s 6 of us at Hotel Walmart. We’re off to the side mingled in with some overnight employees. My window condensation gives me away😂. Awesome video as always. Hugs and love to you & Rocko!!❤️❤️

    Who knew that you could learn some cooking hacks from a van life adventurer, scraping the ginger with a spoon is way easier than grating. Awesome! Nice to see the trusty old Crockpot again!

    I'm glad you stuffed Rocko in your jacket on the way back. She almost panicked thinking you left her on the shore. That dog lives and breath by you

    I stealth camped in a casino parking lot once and nobody bothered me. Big difference from your attempt however. I did it during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and the casino in West Wendover, Nevada was closed. Plus I was in a mini-van with no outward signs of being a camper van. I was still spooked by all the empty parking spaces, so from then on I stealth camped exclusively in chain motel parking lots where I was a bit more comfortable as the lots were generally at least half full overnight.

    If u ever go to Vegas again there's a nice big gravel area north of the freeway on ramp by the race track on the east end of town, relatively quiet but not much nearby.

      & the timing too, she was pepped up at the start & pooped out for the jacket ride back. So no upset boat by the frisky pup. The camera work is Stellar btw. TFS HH Keep Safe.

    I've been so excited to see this video ever since your patreon post. It seems people get rid of small appliances frequently, what a selection of crockpots you had! I love love love the jingle. What contrasts you had, from gridlock to a beautiful hike and pack raft. Rocko following you on the shore was the cutest. This is my absolute favorite episode! Happy Holidays to all!

  • @maryannanderson2213

    I love watching how Rocko goes off on his own private little excursions and yet always comes right back to you. It was neat watching him tearing up that shoreline keeping up with you. BTW, I was VERY glad to see that you tucked him into your shirt and gave him a bit of a rest on your way back to the van. He is full of energy but I bet even the Energizer Bunny stopped to rest occasionally.

    I camp around Vegas a bit. If I camp in casino I always try to go off strip to M resort or Southpoint and make sure to park front of casino entrance where most of the cars are parked over night.
    If you want to camp on the strip, there is free parking for Las Vegas airport transit station for 7 days or you can look up hotel with free parking on strip.
    My favorite is Jeans fried lake bed or BLM around Pahrump hwy.

    Foresty, you, Willswhereabouts, and Steve Wallis, do so much for other people's mental health. I hope all of us can someday find a way to let you know your true worth. I'm not smart enough to articulate it. Best I can say is that you are priceless. Then you added Rocko and got even more amazing. Foresty, says " climbing mountains is hard" then proceeds to do it with a dog in his coat and while recording it... OMG Love you man!!
