    Brian...You wanted to give back to people in some way? Well you are certainly doing just that my friend. Maybe at times what you have been doing so far has not felt to you like it has been enough but I think maybe you are not realizing the impact and future potential that what you have been doing is having on many people in many ways. And now you are using your expertise to help people hands on. Things seem to be falling right into place. Keep up the great work.

    It's been a while since I dropped in on you here. Today's video was excellent. It seems like you are very happy and finally serving others and it appears to work for you. I am increadably proud of you. I do hope to meet up with you someday soon. All the best,

      Bailey Dillion, I was thinking the same thing... I am so proud of Brian. Not only does he share his life with us through absolutely gorgeous videos, but even before this caravan his openness and his approach to life has been heart warming. I truly hope my path crosses his someday. Until then, peace Brian. ✌🏼

    Karen’s viewpoints were great. I’ve always imagined just going solo but I like some of the things she mentioned about caravaning. Happy Holidays, Brian. Again, I just wanted to let you know you were my first TH-cam channel and as soon as I can retire (a couple of years), I’m hitting the road. ❤️

    Brain it was great to finally meet up with you. To all the people who have never gone to one of these caravan it was great. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. AdventureVanMan is a great influence on the group and may not realize how much you influence those around you. Hope to meet up with you again.

  • @billintexas7061
    @billintexas7061 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video Brian. Good example of why the desert beckons. In such an unbearable place in May and into the summer, it can't be beat in the fall and winter. Thanks for the great reminder of its beauty and providing a platform for your fellow RV'rs. Merry Christmas!

  • @natf7409
    @natf7409 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brian, I loved the oasis! And the whole caravan thing looks like it is a blast. Elizabeth and I will make it out there to some of those events eventually. And we really look forward to it! If you guys aren't careful, I could see every caravan group growing to be as large as the RTR!

  • @timhardman4764
    @timhardman4764 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @mikethespikemorgan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for interviewing the other campers, it was interesting to hear how they found their travelling life, . The hike, trees and sheep were good too.I'd appreciate it if you could increase the frequency of your vlogs, to at least one a week. I enjoy watching them and following your adventures, I understand they take a lot of time to edit and prepare. Though you must have it down to fine art by now.

    Wow, that's so cool to see. I didn't know the name of them until now. Awesome trail too. My van life travels won't begin for a little while because I am going to keep my job while living in my van for at least a year. Vanlife goals for sure. Having a community of like-minded people is so awesome.

    Wow! I don’t know where to begin. Saying that it’s great to see you is where I’ll begin! The Borrego Springs hike was amazing! Who knew? My husband and I are heading down in a couple of days, possibly popping into the RTR! If we did this full time, a Caravan would be my choice! What a fantastic community! Brian, there is a lilt of joy in your voice that warms my heart! Let me say thank you for all the wonderful ways you give yourself away and make the world a better place! Live loved, friend! God bless!! Ohhh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! A nrand new sparkly year is right in front of us and it’s going to be a great one for you and your channel, Brian! Can’t wait!!
