⚡Wow, Brian (hi to Kelly and Hobbs, as well!), you're about to cross that 100,000-subscriber threshold! I've been watching you're channel almost since the beginning and I can't wait to see you mounting that TH-cam 100,000 plaque to the inside of your rig. Come on everyone, let's carry Brian and @AdventureVanMan over the 100,000-sub finish line!
As a lifelong horse rider and owner I just wanted to thank you Brian, for letting the world know how difficult it can be trying to acclimate a horse to noises and traffic. You live what you say. You're one of the few. Kudos.
Brian, this video was soooo good! It felt exactly like the old solo days with just you and the audience. Thank you so much for posting this medicine. LIKE BOTTON SMASHED!
Enjoyed seeing you develop your version of beef stroganoff; looked very yummy. Plus, your photography/videography is awesome. Thanks for sharing it all with us. You've given us many great ideas.
You tube usually recommends your video immediately after you upload. Today nothing 😢😢or I'd of seen this 7hrs ago. It's so beautiful there, that sky!!! Ok, going to finish watching now. Love you guys ❤. Please say hello to Kelly for me and Hobbs. You guys are always in my thoughts and prayers.
That was a beautiful spot that you were in. Rain, Snow & Hail all in one day, cattle, coyotes, comfort food and bike riding, just awesome. Thanks for sharing.
One of your best. Loved the scenics you shot. It was fun biking with you, even vicariously. Thank you, Brian. And thanks for the mushroom soup with roasted garlic. Didn't know about that.
It warms our hearts how you and Kelly are taking care of Hobbs in his senior years. You can tell he is happy. We will be trying the cream of mushroom with roasted garlic!
Nice place and beautiful landscapes seen in this vlog. Good to see you all having a nice time together. Thanks for the vlog. Take care and travel safe😊.
Howdy Brian, Kelly and Hobbs. Hobbs always puts a smile on my face. You guys have been blessed with a wonderful doggie buddy. Wonderful footage. I grew up in the desert. It smells so good when it rains. Happy Trails
Thanks for sharing the motorcycle ride out to the mountain side, it looks like a beautiful area. Very cool to see your desk setup where you work on video editing. Amazing its been 9 years already. Thank you for all you share Brian. 🙂
Million dollar video!!! You got a winter thunderstorm with hail AND snow on the mountains AND sunshining through, but then you got a legit longhorn cattle drive, and finally unbelievably beautiful AZ sunset ....anytime there is snow on the Supers or Goldfields is very special ❄️💙🩵💙 Just amazing ! Thanks for posting ! *hello to Hobbs 🩵*
Nice to see Hobbs keeping you company when you are by yourself in the wild. You took us to some exquisite places Brian. Having a dirt bike is such a convenience to get to places faster.
Glad you have a comfortable place to edit. You have a knack for keeping the volume at just the perfect level, and for capturing the best bits of every location. Thanks for all you do.
Hey Brian, beautiful photography, very nice video of the Superstition Mountains. In most domestic breeds of cattle in the U.S. both the bulls & heifers have horns. There are some breeds that are born hornless (called polled cattle) This breed was Texas Longhorns. They are known for having good rangeability meaning they will forage widely for their food in rough territory like the Superstitions. They can go longer than some breeds without water and their hoofs hold up to the rocky terrain. Warning there is nothing more dangerous than a cow trying to protect her calf from a perceived threat, they will gore you or flat run over you. On range cattle ranchers like to leave the horns on the cattle so they have better protection fighting off predators like coyotes, wolves, bears & mountain lions. Cattle raised in a feedlot or dairy farm environment usually have their horns removed when the calves about 200-250 lbs. This allows the cattle to feed closely together from a linear feed bunk without them putting each others eyes out with a horn. Also hornless cattle are easier to get into a squeeze chute to brand, castrate, give shots or apply ear tags.
Amazing video with the snow and sunlight on the mountains. Hail falling on the desert. Pink sunset. Man this video over achieves!! Missing the desert this winter. Hi Brian and Kelly , oh and Hobbes!
Wow! I loved that video. You managed to get the ride, the weather, the hawk, the coyote, the sunset, and the horses and cattle, all in the same video. Fine job! I look forward to the next one, but that one is going to be hard to top.
Great moments/great vid Brian! Thunderstorms, and especially hail, is a fairly rare treat to experience in the desert! You can hear the urgency in the cowboy's voice. Open range cattle are one step away from a completely wild animals. Speaking from experience, if they get spooked or feel threatened, things can go south pretty fast with them. They did a great job keeping them bunched up going by the happy campers.
Hello Brian and Hobbs. I live near where you are at. Saw the snow the morning on the Superstition Mountains after the nice rain we had yesterday. Great pictures of the Mountains.
Wow, this one had it all! Wildlife, mountains and cactus, cattle drive, sunset, trail riding, camp life, cooking, and of course Hobbs and … wait, not enough Kelly! ✌️❤️🚐
Beautiful, I live vicariously thru others. I'm not a fan of driving for long hours so constantly moving would annoy me. Good for all that can do what u do.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful ride to the mountains. Safe travels to you and Hobbs. I think he likes his new life style. Tell Kelly hello 🙏🙏🙏❤️🐈⬛❤️☕✌️
Great video! Took the trailer and family to Lost Dutchman’s State Park Christmas Eve night into Christmas day. What an amazing spot! Nice to see the Superstitions again on your video..
Nature always feeds my soul, I love being out in it when I can. Thank you for shating so much of it on your channel. Hobbs truly is a lovable character, such a fortunate guy getting to experience new adventures in his senior years.💚🖤💚✌️
Good you had that great ride day before the weather turned. My nephew works in Superior AZ at a mine and post pics of snow on the superstition mtns. My Old stomping ground early 70s before it got crazy busy. Take care Brian... always love your calming videos.
Really loved the photography in this video with perfect music accompaniment! Superb piece and enjoyable to watch! Thanks for taking so much time to share!
Beautiful Scenery!! Loved the ride to the mountains, the hail storm on the cactus and especially the scene of the mountain during the hail storm, very nice. FYI, when cowboys talk about cattle, they have cows, bulls and steers. I think the ones with big horns might have been steers. Thanks for posting.
Man that Sunset❤ Spectacular! Thats what im looking forward to the most when we hit the road is the Sunrises and Sunsets. That bike is a great asset! Thanks my friend I've yet to meet, say hi to Kelly 😎✌️
Oh my gosh, that landscape! Appears that you may have found an old western movie set/backdrop? Those cowboys must have quite the chore watching for campers unleashed dogs. Looks like Hobbs has very much settled in with you. That's good for you both!
😢I love your videos because you take us on your journeys. I've been to many of Mountain ranges. New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah . They have amazing Mountains

Absolutely appreciated 👍
Out of all the nomad vids watched, and that’s many, this is the best yet. Superb job!
Much appreciated love the sections of your videos where it’s the natural sounds without the music ,it’s like we are there with you
What a beautiful spot to camp at and Those Cows coming through was really interesting.

Beautiful country, with rain and snow. Awesome
Love the sound of a spoon scraping across a cast iron pan as you cook up an excellent meal. Only needed some broccoli or peas to make it perfect.
This gets a Golden Globe or some other award! Thanks Brian and Kelly and Hobbs man!

Hey thanks for noticing. I probably spend most of my editing time focused on audio, I tend to get a bit obsessive with it!😆
Well worth the effort! Mike
