When Kara said “your footsteps were the only thing I could focus on” my heart melted...you two are wonderful together, a great example of what marriage can be. ❤️

I was really upset about the state of things tonight. My daughter said, "Come on, Mom, which Kara and Nate do you want to watch?" It really helped to take a mini vacation with you guys. Thanks for helping people travel virtually. It makes a difference!

I'm watching all your videos in a random order, but I just wanted to leave a comment to say how much I enjoy your channel and how you guys open up the world to the rest of us. Thank you 😊 You genuinely seem like such lovely people doing some amazing things. Especially impressed with how you've handled things during covid and I've actually really enjoyed the things you've put out from Stateside. It's been a tough year or two but I'm really looking forward to getting out and travelling some more myself when I can and you guys are keeping that wanderlust building. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧✌🏻
For real like I’m about to head to some countries and see what they’re really like vs what school taught us. Stay tuned because in ten years or so I may vlog it...
You don’t need bobcat spray😂 bobcats are like twenty pounds. If you meant mountain lion, you would just use bear spray for it, but again these are not mountain lion tracks.

Get a 3-person. There's not that much difference in price and weight, but being able to fit some gear in the tent with you if it starts raining makes a huge difference. Plus, if you're car camping, a 3-person fits a queen size air mattress!
I love how through difficulties Kara and Nate remain calm and happy. Most people (including me) would complain so much about the sand and difficulties of climbing. And Kara and Nate are just happy to be together and experiencing something new.
Nate has a good point... you don’t want your hands to smell like the PREDATORS FOOD! Amazing that you got any sleep at all with mountain lion tracks around😅
Kara and Nate I pretty much guarantee that that wasn’t a mountain lion. It may have been a coyote or even a fox. The shape and size were not right for a mountain lion
One time at the Sand Dunes, I was sleeping “under the stars” (i. e. no tent) and when I woke up in the middle of the night there was the greatest meteor show, with meteor after meteor streaking across the sky every minute or so. I thought it must just be normal for the Sand Dunes because it’s so dark, but years later I realized it was probably the annual Perseids meteor shower. You were so close to the optimum Perseids date (August 12), I hope you were able to see them.

The sand dunes hold a very special place in my heart. When I was a little girl, we would go down to Alamosa which is south west where you guys were staying, and would kidnap my great grandparents go to KFC, buy a big ol bucket of chicken and go to the sand dunes and play all day long in the sand and the creek, if it was flowing above ground, lol. I miss them and the trip so much. I'm so happy y'all were having fun exploring my home state, I can't wait too see what's next on your adventures!
The recaps at the beginning are always so amazing! I love how you ever so slightly change it so it’s not boring and you can basically watch any video and it seems like you’ve been with them for much longer.
I can't believe all of the risks you guys take it definitely make me want to watch more and you make all your videos so relatable and show the ups and downs of van life!!
I admire y'all's positivity and perspective in the face of any challenge. Thanks for being you and for the encouragement. Always look forward to your next video coming out.

As a Colorado native and living in Gunnison...makes me soooo happy to watch how much you two have been enjoying this wonderful, beautiful state!!! Endless adventures!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Gunnison is beautiful!!. I went to first grade there at Blackstock elementary, idk if it’s still there, that was back in 1967/68 . I remember being fascinated by the big W on the hillside , my Dad taught at western state U for a year. I think the U has a different name now. I’ve been back a few times, lots of cool ghost towns nearby. Such a gorgeous place but cold in the winter !!
1927su that’s awesome!! Yeah that elementary isn’t here anymore. The big W is still here though!! I’m originally from the Denver area and moved up here in 2010 for college and after graduating I didn’t want to move back to the city like most of my friends did so I stayed! Can’t imagine living anywhere else!! When I came here for college it was called Western State College then by the time I graduated it changed to Western State Colorado University and now I think it’s Western State University or something like that haha they keep changing it...some alum donated a massive amount of money to change the name again and build another building to add an engineering department/program to the school, which is cool they have that! But a bit crazy to me to keep changing the name! It sure does get cold here but I absolutely love the cold!! I can’t do the heat very well!
I respect the many nate had to hike 🚶🏻♂️ twice to set up camra walk back down then back up for the glory and perfectness of the vlog (themennonitemom) you so right hats 👒 😉 off for nate. Nate you slay!💕🤍🖤🤍🖤💕
You guys are just such down to earth people! Normally TH-camrs gain a certain amount of attitude after attaining as many subscribers as you guys. But you both are the best and most down to earth couple! Keep the videos coming! I love you both!
I live vicariously through you two because I simply don’t have the courage (nor the physical stamina in many cases) to dive into the adventures you take us through! Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences with us!
I love how you guys mention in almost every video how grateful you are! You guys work hard for the life you have made, but it is refreshing to hear that you recognize that you should also be grateful! Love you guys!
Been watching your videos for a while now. After seeing this one I took a spontaneous road trip from California with some friends to experience the dunes. Walking through that sand was not easy. Hats off to you both for going as far as you did.

Wow! It's amazing that you guys have the perseverance to set up a tripod, walk away from it, then tramp back again. Definitely longer than an eight-mile round trip! 😂
Those sand dunes are in the US? Wow looks like somewhere in Arabia. And you didn’t let the wind stop you in your tracks, even when you were in pain. Never give up, never surrender
These sand dunes are near Alamosa, Colorado. It’s a national park, but never too crowded. These are the highest dunes in North America, and butt up against the mountains there, on the east side of the valley.
Hello Kara and Nate I am a kid watching you from Greece and I want too set a goal to visit 100 countries I am still 10 so I have been only to N. Ireland Irealnd and Germany. But thans to you feel I have been to 100 countries from your videos and everything else you have done. I also like you are always ready for something new. Love your videos Kimon

Congratulations you two. My daughter and I ascend the dunes in Death Valley for entertainment, when she isn't working on her geology work. As you found out, we treat the desert with a lot of respect, and pack much the same as alpine trips. People don't understand you expel 2-3 times the effort climbing dunes. With the altitude, and temperature with the altitude gain, plus hauling a bear canister and water; you need to be prepared. Despite all the efforts, the rewards are amazing, and so worth it. Congratulations on all of your efforts, lessons learned, and learning what mother nature has to offer, and how she keeps you on your toes. Keep doing your VLOGS, and what you've both experienced together. My wife and I have been together for 50 years, and we continue to be amazed by things in our lives. Cherish your memories and experiences. Thank you for sharing your lives, and all the effort needed to share those moments.
I hope one day I can experience even a fraction of what you guys have. You live a life I could only dream of. And believe me, I do! Love you guys! Sending love and light from Detroit, MI. 💖
Those are most likely coyote tracks because they are in groups of two and are two small to be mountain lion tracks. Lion tracks index on themselves because the rear paw lands where the front paw landed.
Hi guys, love the channel. Those are coyote tracks, and they naturally get laid down in couplets. Coyotes are usually very shy, and this one was probably shocked once she realized you were out there. Big cat tracks are about 400% larger, laid down evenly, not paired, and are in nearly a straight line. actually, if a person looks down a line of lion tracks they will make very slight lazy "s's", often with a tail dip alternating with the stride. If you're nearRockies
I have lived in Colorado my whole life. I love it here and my parents take me so many fun places. It’s great to see how much fun you guys are having here.
Kara, there is no doubt in my mind : You need to write a book! You truly have a gift with words and I travel book (with anecdotes of each country you visited, their culture ) would be awesome!!!!
Just a heads up camping gear is hard to find this year because of increased demand. Many people are out camping when they normally would go away on vacation instead. They’re pretty much viewing camping as a staycation and so people that don’t normally camp are camping this year and it all sold out very quickly. If you plan on doing any kind of camping in the future I would definitely keep your eyes peeled every time you’re in a Walmart or maybe order some and have it shipped somewhere for you to pick up. It’s gonna be hard to find in passing though.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with the world!!! You have no idea how much you have inspired me to be happy and live life to the fullest!! I have been enjoying your journey only for a short amount of time however AMAZING!!! I look forward to finding new videos u haven’t seen every morning (like my morning coffee 😂) I love you guys so much!! I feel so good when I’m watching you guys on my giant tv at home. You have a beautiful gift/talent with documenting your life! Im truly grateful to have found you guys. Thank you for everything you do! I love you!! 💕

Hey that’s where I live well technically it’s about 20 miles from my house. And FYI it’s one of the coldest places in the US it can get below -40 F. And yup our town is the one they went to for tents, and not the biggest we don’t even have Uber or Lyft. I don’t know for sure about the tracks but I have seen many coyotes around.
your story really made me feel for the people thousands of years ago in the middle east who would travel by foot from country to country through the desert. props to y'all
Speechless. These are the coolest smartest and most animated water expert children. GREAT. Parents make Great Kids. Thank you for sharing them. The Colorado is beautiful we've been on it a few times too. Stay safe Stay happy 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I really admire your sense of adventure and bravery doing this. As well as perservering to keep on going on this crazy adventure! Thank you so much for inspiring me so much and helping me through the tough times :)
Could you please do a video with the YES THEORY guys!!! I think it would be a great collaboration as both of your youtube videos seek discomfort in all your adventures. Check em out, you guys would make a wicked video together!! love you guys 🤍
I started crying at the opportunity to possibly win the omaze/karaandnate. Vanlife is my biggest dream. I recently got a job and i'm going to save up to make a budget van conversion but if I won, that would be a dream come true. Then I started crying when Kara was narrating her trek in the dunes. Such a beautiful video with such beautiful people and such beautiful scenes. Thank you for existing, Kara & Nate.
When you said that it doesn’t actually seem that big on camera you were so true, I went there last summer and they are huge they don’t seem that big until you get to them

@@samya.s thank you so much!!💕💕 If you want to learn more about what's happening in Yemen then you can watch the videos I've made about it on my channel ☺️
Utah also has them. Little Sahara & also Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. The latter is almost 4,000 acres. Kara & Nate should pop over next door from Colorado, because Utah has amazing diversity of natural landscapes & so many national & state parks, with truly an unlimited amount of adventure opportunities! www.google.com/amp/s/www.thrillist.com/amphtml/travel/nation/best-state-parks-in-utah
I came here as a child and the winds kicked up and I couldn’t find my family, I was terrified! I can honestly say that almost all of the places you go to, I would love to visit/revisit. The sand dunes...never, ever again! Glad you guys made it!
CONGRATS ON 1.7 MILLION!! It felt like yesterday you guys just hit 1.5 Mill!!! I can’t wait for more videos and watch this awesome community spread!!!!!!!!
Recently discovered your channel and loved it. Such a sweet and loving couple, always positive. I wonder if Kara is ever in a bad mood. Please connect if you ever decide to visit Tasmania in Australia:)
Lots of people are asking why no new video today... Kara posted a quick Insta story saying how busy she has been following on as support for Nate and the other guys on their 500 mile bike challenge... she apologized and said she will get one posted tomorrow (Monday). I, too, was worried Nate maybe had bitten off more than he could chew this time!
Once this pandemic is over and you can get into Canada. Come up to Alaska. Wilderness for miles. Free camping and pull offs everywhere. Perfect for van life. BC, Yukon, and Northwest Territories are amazing too. You could spend years wondering around up here.

Nate owes you a spa year. I'd watch a full year of vlogs where Kara is just endlessly pampered at spas all over the country.

saw them as a kid, my parents woke us up at like 3 am and drove us out to the middle of no where, totally worth it, Have not seen them since.

Gunnison is beautiful!!. I went to first grade there at Blackstock elementary, idk if it’s still there, that was back in 1967/68 . I remember being fascinated by the big W on the hillside , my Dad taught at western state U for a year. I think the U has a different name now.
I’ve been back a few times, lots of cool ghost towns nearby. Such a gorgeous place but cold in the winter !!
1927su that’s awesome!! Yeah that elementary isn’t here anymore. The big W is still here though!! I’m originally from the Denver area and moved up here in 2010 for college and after graduating I didn’t want to move back to the city like most of my friends did so I stayed! Can’t imagine living anywhere else!! When I came here for college it was called Western State College then by the time I graduated it changed to Western State Colorado University and now I think it’s Western State University or something like that haha they keep changing it...some alum donated a massive amount of money to change the name again and build another building to add an engineering department/program to the school, which is cool they have that! But a bit crazy to me to keep changing the name! It sure does get cold here but I absolutely love the cold!! I can’t do the heat very well!
I respect the many nate had to hike 🚶🏻♂️ twice to set up camra walk back down then back up for the glory and perfectness of the vlog (themennonitemom) you so right hats 👒 😉 off for nate. Nate you slay!💕🤍🖤🤍🖤💕
You guys are just such down to earth people! Normally TH-camrs gain a certain amount of attitude after attaining as many subscribers as you guys. But you both are the best and most down to earth couple! Keep the videos coming! I love you both!
I live vicariously through you two because I simply don’t have the courage (nor the physical stamina in many cases) to dive into the adventures you take us through! Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences with us!
From Antarctica to mountains to the seas and oceans to the van ride to the city tour to sandy plains.... They have left nothing
Love ur blogs...
I love how you guys mention in almost every video how grateful you are! You guys work hard for the life you have made, but it is refreshing to hear that you recognize that you should also be grateful! Love you guys!
Been watching your videos for a while now. After seeing this one I took a spontaneous road trip from California with some friends to experience the dunes. Walking through that sand was not easy. Hats off to you both for going as far as you did.
You never doubt their love for eachother and I just want what they have more than anything 😭🥰
I was looking for this comment
"I don't know what I would have done without your footsteps to follow" ughhhh so cute Kara!
This footage was so worth it. Thank you guys for making the physical journey. Great job as always!!
I love Kara being the narrator!!! The description makes us feel your pain and journey....

i love how you guys show how things are REALLY like and not just the good things! Love the vlogs
Wow! It's amazing that you guys have the perseverance to set up a tripod, walk away from it, then tramp back again. Definitely longer than an eight-mile round trip! 😂
Those sand dunes are in the US? Wow looks like somewhere in Arabia. And you didn’t let the wind stop you in your tracks, even when you were in pain. Never give up, never surrender
I see you everywhere
They have tons of sand dunes here in Southern California. Look up Glamis :)
Hello, fellow Cuban American, I think we watch the same videos cause I see you everywhere 🤣
If you can get Google Earth you should take a look at that. That is the a great way to see everything in the world, well almost everything.
These sand dunes are near Alamosa, Colorado. It’s a national park, but never too crowded. These are the highest dunes in North America, and butt up against the mountains there, on the east side of the valley.
Hello Kara and Nate
I am a kid watching you from Greece and I want too set a goal to visit 100 countries
I am still 10 so I have been only to N. Ireland Irealnd and Germany. But thans to you feel I have been to 100 countries from your videos and everything else you have done. I also like you are always ready for something new.
Love your videos
Kimon
Awww when Nate cuddled Kara was so cute
I really like you guys embracing the wild side of travelling. It’s even better than the city/aeroplane travel
All I keep thinking is the sand you're gonna be finding for months! It's like glitter...the gift that keeps on giving...
Who else literally gets SO EXCITED when they post!? I always love your videos! They inspire and motivate me SOOO much with growing my channel! Thank you for making such amazing videos!❤️
Me!!!
I'm currently raising money for Yemen through fasting! I have a justgiving page and I'm also making videos on my channel to spread awareness and also to show my fast! I would really appreciate if you could check this out! I really want to spread the word and raise as much money as possible 🙏💙 I also have vlogs, a house series, advice videos, challenges and reaction videos
It seems like fun now, but you will be finding sand in your stuff for months.
Kara should I quit youtube my friends keep making fun of me for it
@@MatthewMilton follow your heart bro

Back in March I lost my job because of Covid and watching you both made me focus on the good things in life. I'm finally working again and had to subscribe again on my phone and now I can leave comments. Your videos are the best! Lots of love to you both! ❤❤❤
Congratulations you two. My daughter and I ascend the dunes in Death Valley for entertainment, when she isn't working on her geology work. As you found out, we treat the desert with a lot of respect, and pack much the same as alpine trips. People don't understand you expel 2-3 times the effort climbing dunes. With the altitude, and temperature with the altitude gain, plus hauling a bear canister and water; you need to be prepared. Despite all the efforts, the rewards are amazing, and so worth it. Congratulations on all of your efforts, lessons learned, and learning what mother nature has to offer, and how she keeps you on your toes. Keep doing your VLOGS, and what you've both experienced together. My wife and I have been together for 50 years, and we continue to be amazed by things in our lives. Cherish your memories and experiences. Thank you for sharing your lives, and all the effort needed to share those moments.
when they set down their camera so they can film themselves walking but then they have to walk back and get it
dedication
"film"?
@@hukshot ya like record themselves
It's a drone
yes, but "film"?
I hope one day I can experience even a fraction of what you guys have. You live a life I could only dream of. And believe me, I do! Love you guys! Sending love and light from Detroit, MI. 💖
If that was a mountain lion it was fresh out the womb 😂 their tracks are usually MUCH bigger haha
I was thinking bobcat
Maybe another of those stray cats that are in so many videos 😢😢 I'm not being serious
I don't think you understand how footprints work in the sand
Those are most likely coyote tracks because they are in groups of two and are two small to be mountain lion tracks. Lion tracks index on themselves because the rear paw lands where the front paw landed.
Hi guys, love the channel. Those are coyote tracks, and they naturally get laid down in couplets. Coyotes are usually very shy, and this one was probably shocked once she realized you were out there. Big cat tracks are about 400% larger, laid down evenly, not paired, and are in nearly a straight line. actually, if a person looks down a line of lion tracks they will make very slight lazy "s's", often with a tail dip alternating with the stride. If you're nearRockies
Very useful info, thank you!
I have lived in Colorado my whole life. I love it here and my parents take me so many fun places. It’s great to see how much fun you guys are having here.
“I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have your footsteps to follow.” -Kara
Awwwwwwwwwwwww
I'm also virtually sleeping on dunes. Sounds crazy but thanks to Kara and Nate.❤️
I never get sick of the Nate almost electrocuting himself scene. So funny!
Kara, there is no doubt in my mind : You need to write a book! You truly have a gift with words and I travel book (with anecdotes of each country you visited, their culture ) would be awesome!!!!
Thank you for supporting the Access fund!!! This Coloradan loves his outdoors and there a very near and dear charity! Love the content guys!
16:29 😂 (Kara is thinking “imma eat it when you fall asleep”)
Just a heads up camping gear is hard to find this year because of increased demand. Many people are out camping when they normally would go away on vacation instead. They’re pretty much viewing camping as a staycation and so people that don’t normally camp are camping this year and it all sold out very quickly. If you plan on doing any kind of camping in the future I would definitely keep your eyes peeled every time you’re in a Walmart or maybe order some and have it shipped somewhere for you to pick up. It’s gonna be hard to find in passing though.
When you know what's going to happen in the vlog because you stalk them on Instagram
Thank you so much for sharing your life with the world!!! You have no idea how much you have inspired me to be happy and live life to the fullest!! I have been enjoying your journey only for a short amount of time however AMAZING!!! I look forward to finding new videos u haven’t seen every morning (like my morning coffee 😂) I love you guys so much!! I feel so good when I’m watching you guys on my giant tv at home. You have a beautiful gift/talent with documenting your life! Im truly grateful to have found you guys. Thank you for everything you do! I love you!! 💕
I also wanted to share with you that you have saved this soul……. You guys brought me out of depression. The energy you give, the honest and pure raw emotion has really helped me. THANK YOU ❤
Your guys life is the best, you make videos for a living and you get almost constant vacation!! You guys are blessed

Thank you so much Kara and Nate for liking my video! It means SO much :D
Lol, right?!
Hey that’s where I live well technically it’s about 20 miles from my house. And FYI it’s one of the coldest places in the US it can get below -40 F. And yup our town is the one they went to for tents, and not the biggest we don’t even have Uber or Lyft. I don’t know for sure about the tracks but I have seen many coyotes around.
I've been following you on Instagram and waiting for this video, I'm so excited!
your story really made me feel for the people thousands of years ago in the middle east who would travel by foot from country to country through the desert. props to y'all
Speechless. These are the coolest smartest and most animated water expert children.
GREAT. Parents make Great Kids. Thank you for sharing them.
The Colorado is beautiful we've been on it a few times too.
Stay safe Stay happy 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Nate at 6:00 AM - “We did it!”
Kara - “Mmhm, Shhhh, I’m not done doing it yet.”
😂
I really admire your sense of adventure and bravery doing this. As well as perservering to keep on going on this crazy adventure! Thank you so much for inspiring me so much and helping me through the tough times :)
Could you please do a video with the YES THEORY guys!!! I think it would be a great collaboration as both of your youtube videos seek discomfort in all your adventures. Check em out, you guys would make a wicked video together!! love you guys 🤍
The Yes Theory guys are dwindling
So glad you two are having so much fun in Colorado and showing a wide audience all the adventures and landscapes you can see here.
I started crying at the opportunity to possibly win the omaze/karaandnate. Vanlife is my biggest dream. I recently got a job and i'm going to save up to make a budget van conversion but if I won, that would be a dream come true. Then I started crying when Kara was narrating her trek in the dunes. Such a beautiful video with such beautiful people and such beautiful scenes. Thank you for existing, Kara & Nate.
When you said that it doesn’t actually seem that big on camera you were so true, I went there last summer and they are huge they don’t seem that big until you get to them
Who else comes to the comments but has nothing to say 😂
Love you guys!!
Hahaha hope you enjoyed the vlog 🙃

CaseO I’m not sure what I can do but... maybe something can help you??? Like getting that van...............
If you get it you should sell and you would get a lot of money
I’m just help 🤭 🙂🙂
Ps I subbed to you to try and help........
@@samya.s thank you so much!!💕💕 If you want to learn more about what's happening in Yemen then you can watch the videos I've made about it on my channel ☺️
Welcome to desert camping, salute from Egypt 🇪🇬, enjoy the night sky and infinite calmness ❤️
honestly this video was just so sweet. the little moments between you two are so special.
I can feel the san in my eyes just watching this
I’ve always wanted to do something like this, so inspiring seeing others pursue ur dream!!
For a second, I thought they weren't in America anymore from the thumbnail. Its so crazy to think of sand dunes in the US sometimes
Yeah we have sand dunes in a few different states. The ones I know of are Arizona, California, Idaho and Colorado.
I'm from Michigan and we have tons of sand dunes around the Great Lakes
@@haydenmoore7482 new Mexico has white sands, huge gorgeous dunes.
Jessi on the Go yes!!! How did I forget about white sands!!
Utah also has them. Little Sahara & also Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. The latter is almost 4,000 acres. Kara & Nate should pop over next door from Colorado, because Utah has amazing diversity of natural landscapes & so many national & state parks, with truly an unlimited amount of adventure opportunities!

I came here as a child and the winds kicked up and I couldn’t find my family, I was terrified! I can honestly say that almost all of the places you go to, I would love to visit/revisit. The sand dunes...never, ever again! Glad you guys made it!
CONGRATS ON 1.7 MILLION!! It felt like yesterday you guys just hit 1.5 Mill!!! I can’t wait for more videos and watch this awesome community spread!!!!!!!!
I missed you guys today! I wait patiently every Sunday for your videos. I hope you guys are ok !
How are u 😀
Recently discovered your channel and loved it. Such a sweet and loving couple, always positive. I wonder if Kara is ever in a bad mood. Please connect if you ever decide to visit Tasmania in Australia:)
Lots of people are asking why no new video today... Kara posted a quick Insta story saying how busy she has been following on as support for Nate and the other guys on their 500 mile bike challenge... she apologized and said she will get one posted tomorrow (Monday). I, too, was worried Nate maybe had bitten off more than he could chew this time!
This has to be my most favorite video ever. Amazing strength and courage. Kudos to the both of you.
Once this pandemic is over and you can get into Canada. Come up to Alaska. Wilderness for miles. Free camping and pull offs everywhere. Perfect for van life. BC, Yukon, and Northwest Territories are amazing too. You could spend years wondering around up here.
