In this video I leave my camp at Lake Vesuvius Recreation Area in Ohio. I head towards the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. I find a nice camp to relax for a day then head up to the ridge to do some hiking to see the area.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

What a great way to start my day. Another great video from the Van Man to watch, while I have my coffee. Thank you sir!
I totally agree!
Hello Kentucky 👋🏿 Thanks for sharing ✌🏿
Still love living vicariously thru your journey... 🕊️
I said the same thing! He makes the best videos!
Kentucky is one of the prettiest states we have
I used to maintain the payphones at the Frenchburg Job Corps Center located in the RR Gorge. Was the first one to drive thru the Nada Tunnel once when there was 8 inches of fresh snow! Absolutely beautiful to see the all the ice hanging over the tunnel entrance & exit. Breathtakingly beautiful. Felt like I was entering a Jurassic Park!
Great hike! So amazingly beautiful. Thx.
I just don't feel safe hiking alone😕
Now we know why Daniel Boone loved his Kentucky!
Thank you for sharing those beautiful sights in the Kentucky Trailhead. That one huge butte with the trees on top was spectacular! Dinner looked delicious! Safe travels as you explore more of the state.😉👍
Kentucky has more miles of running stream water then any other state (except Alaska) Lots of pure water springs also.
Thanks for that fact/info. Didn’t know that.
For some reason I've been having the urge of wanting to live in /move to Kentucky
@@zacplaysleague5868 Make sure you visit a lot first. Kentucky is very different, if you’ve been living in civilization... extremely high rate of people living on disability and the back country is very behind.
Kentucky is civilized, granted there are a few issues but all states have their own unique set of problems. We are not that far behind, I have 5g internet, etc. Lol. We aren't stuck in cave times, we've moved on up to the 21st century. Wish you well and have a great time in my beautiful state.
Thank you for the info. That’s so cool. When I was a child you could drink out of the river near me. Not anymore. At least it’s still beautiful.
You make my Monday morning coffee all the better. Ty
Kentucky is a beautiful state. Nice hike and safe travels Brian. 🍁🍁🍁👍😊
I loved Kentucky way more than I thought I would. Beautiful spot you found. Great hike. LOVED the edits. I really enjoy your videos.
Oh man the Van life, I wish I was younger, I'd join you out there, what freedom, I traveled in the music industry for 30 years, but I couldn't enjoy my travels because of my work out there, I would have loved to travel like your doing, just free to see the sights, fell the Breese on your face, man thank you for showing your exciting ventures, loving you're video's, always Elvis ❤👍❤💯❤👋⚡
🎶T.C.B.🎶🎸🎤

Oh man I'm sorry, I thought you were in love with your travels, I always loved the traveling, I loved seeing different places, different people, I just never got to spend anytime visiting places, that till this day I would give anything to visit...Im 100 percent disabled now, im a Diabetic, so my travels are over, God bless you my friend...I hope you find happiness out there in the freedom of the highway, always Elvis 👍🙏☝️⚡
I live in Tennessee and have been to KY a few times,......beautiful forests and mountains!.....God bless you and stay safe and healthy!.....good to see you traveling again!
Omg, the tunnel!
I loved that you stopped and showed us the historical marker. I always love those when I travel.
Really good thank you...the autumn colours are so beautiful 👍
I live in Lexington and have been been to Red River Gorge many times it's different every time. Love my home state.
Nice video...beautiful area...peace be with you💜🤴
America the beautiful. Thanks for letting us tag along. Great looking meal. Yum.
Love your videos! My wife “drug” back here thru our 52 years of marriage to finally retire here. Absolutely love it here!! I especially appreciate the videography! The extra steps setting up and editing ; among the best on TH-cam! Keep it up! God’s speed! Al
Excellent site, thanks for taking us along. Told you we'd be quiet.
WOW What a Tunnel!!
You captured some beautiful scenery.
I truly appreciate your sharing.
Many blessings. Peace ✌️💙
You have to see it in person. Most incredible place in Kentucky
@@Mr70455 thanks Andrew, much of area looks very ancient.
Oh my my, oh heck yes, nature put on her party dress! What a beautiful trip.
Beautiful thank you Brian ❤️🙏
Thanks for another very good video. I really enjoy them. Have a great week
Welcome to Kentucky! Thanks for sharing the beauty of RRG. Hope you enjoyed your visit and safe travels.
Thank you!
The sound of the water flowing is therapeutic with my cup of coffee this morning. 😁👍
Nice place camping 👍🤩
Great hiking experienced there Brian, I love it. Beautiful place, I’ll visit that in the summer. Always wish you luck and safe travels Brian. Take care
Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Stay safe!👍😘🙏🏻🐾🐾
Have family from Ironton. My late grandmother helped establish the college campus there. If it wasn't for that, the place would have become a ghost town since all the industry there got shut down. Carlisle Tile that was there made much of the tile that was put into the White House years ago.
Nothing like a late setting sun to make an impromptu parking lot look like an oasis of peace & tranquility. Sure was a beautiful hiking trail thanks for letting us tag along✌️
Never been to Kentucky but now I have thru you Sure is pretty there Keep enjoying
I believe you showed the rock house, a natural shelter in the walls of the rock cliffs where I and many other folks have camped. You have to climb about 30 feet up a natural chimney to get to it, but the views from inside are spectacular. Kentucky is loaded with so much natural beauty, you may not want to leave.
Just finished my breakfast watching your adventures in Kentucky. Great views in Kentucky which is close to my state North Carolina. I have never been to Kentucky but now I going to escape next year.Love You Brother.
Thanks for the beautiful view!
SO AWESOME that the Vesuvius Iron Furnace also supported the Underground Railroad. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Safe adventuring ahead!
Loved the nature hike! Great scenery, loved the hills and caves,, that stairway was absolutely fantastic, loved every step you took,, ok saw your supper there at the last of your video, thanks for that, Always Elvis 👋❤👍👋⚡
That was a beautiful location with some great hikes. It’s a great place to visit and especially nice without the crowds in the campsites.
Once again another beautiful hike! Thanks for taking us along 👍🏼
Welcome to KY! I have spent alot of time hiking and camping in the gorge for many years. Glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty nice area!! 👍🏼
That was a very special trail. ..wow, spectacular.
Beautiful country indeed. I've never been to Kentucky however, I would like to go there. Thank you for the video. Some very beautiful colors.
Wow! That tunnel was cool!! 🤩 That view from the cliff was Spectacular!! Yes the bare trees gave it a Magical view!! Thank You for sharing! 😁🙏🏼💜🌟🕊
Beautiful hike, so pretty
Awesome trail Brian, congrats on 75k buddy.
Thanks Wiley!!
You always find the nicest spots, beautiful area there in Kentucky, thanks for sharing 👍
Loved that hike Brian, really interesting country. :)
Hi, I would love that trail, along the river stream.....thank you for showing.
Missed your cooking supper last night....thats a neat part of your video's ❤👍❤👋⚡
Kentucky sure is beautiful. Thanks for using good cameras to bring it to life.
Love ♥️♥️ the tunnel have a great reunion with Kelly
Love to live vicariously through you 😍. I'm surprised there's no snow where you've been recently. Looking forward to where you land in Florida... Don't t forget to check out Fort Desoto (park, beach, campsite-crowded, the fort itself and the views!) 👍✌️🌄
Ive been following you for some tome now 3 years id guess.
Great work. You make it look good...
Thanks!
Gettin' lucky in Kentucky!!!
RRG is definitely one of the most stunning areas in KY. If you are looking for a lesser known gem on the way to TN check out the Big South Fork NRRA. It straddles the border and is a huge and gorgeous region. The Blue Heron area on the KY side is a restored mining community on the banks of the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. It has a cool self-guided interpretive tour and you can take a ride on a historic narrow guage train ride there and back from Stearns (or just drive). The TN side has a place called Twin Arches that include two of the tallest sandstone arches in the eastern US. Lot's of goid camping and hiking options.
Lot of it is wheelchair accessible too!
Loved that place. Went on trail ride on horseback. Beautiful
Kentucky peace & beauty. Looks like a wonderful place to kick back & de-stress. Thanks Brian. ☮️❤️🕉️
You eat very well my friend, I very much enjoy your videos, All the best, Keep safe.
Love your videos. Thank you for taking me along. Beautiful scenery. Have a blessed day.
Beautiful.
That was amazing, Brain , thank you I in joyed the hike. Now it's time for a nap. Haha.
You always seem to find the most beautiful places to camp and hike!
Great video! what beautiful places! Safe travels and thank you for sharing!

Hi from Kissimmee, FL! You always find the most peaceful places to boondocking. Happy journey!
Thank you for another great video, I really enjoyed the reds and yellows of the fall colors. Safe travels.
I've been across that big bridge in a semi. I retired this past April of 2020, bought a Ford Transit van mid high roof and moved into it. It's a 2016.
It was very thoughtful that medal steps were installed.
Buenos días Bryan, maravilloso video 🇲🇽🚴♂️
Keep living the dream Bryan
Creative editing and a really nice hiking area, reminds me of S Illinois terrain. I'd have certainly been mushroom hunting for oysters and hens on that hike! A couple of good references are; Learn your Land and Old Man of the Woods
Beautiful 👍👍 Take care and God bless ✌️
I am from Kentucky, This tunnel freak me out!
That’s what I thought about it’s so scary. Because it’s so narrow!!
KY is such a beautiful state! My dad and I camped in Daniel Boone forest 50 years ago. Thanks for the memories.
Kentucky sure looks beautiful!! We share an amazing continent. Stay safe everyone! 💜😉🇨🇦
Back in the 70's, Ironton had the best FM radio in the tri-state area, but I can't remember the call letters. I remember first hearing of a new band called Lynyrd Skynyrd on that station! You're making me recall some long lost memories on this leg of your journey. Many Thanks, Brian!
South bound now towards the heat. Still hot 🔥 down here. Another great video. I bought my cargo trailer a week ago and yesterday was moving day. So I'm watching from my new home on wheels.. ❤️. Hoping to hit the road very soon. ☺️
Those blood red trees as you came into town was a breath taking Kodak moment!! Another great view over your shoulder. Thanks. Safe travels.
Wish I was out there such beautiful scenery,you always find the most gorgeous areas to camp👍🏻🚐
Beautiful Kentucky.
Welcome to Ky it is a beautiful state, enjoy and safe travels🤗
Looks like a beautiful place. Kentucky is one state I have never been in.
Brian, thank you for sharing these incredible spaces; so different than the beautiful area I live in, and stunning in their lushness and a different geology than I usually see. You present the areas so well....and eat well too.....Thanks again
Wow, some amazing people worked the iron belt, helping slaves reach freedom. Blessings to them!
Always love your videos, they help reassure me that full-timing is the way to go and they help me relax and enjoy.
Nice job, love your van and the videos
