Brian this video is another great example of why I and countless others love your content. ITS REAL. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Safe Travels Amigo......and away we go❤️.
Thanks for another wonderful video! Your videos are part of my morning ritual (I sometimes what twice). Right now I’m laid up with a heart issue so “getting out” with you is a real treat. Recently I was gift with a Pleasure Way Excel and am looking forward to getting on the road with it to see some of the places you’ve taken us! You might also think about doing a video of your meal preps; they are excellent, economic and healthy! God’s speed my friends! Al and Margaret
We live in Southern Illinois so we get brutally hot and humid summers and mostly mild winters. Yesterday December 11 2020 it was 67 degrees! We absolutely love fall and winter here. It can get very cold but its rare and usually only lasts a few days. I'll take it over 100 degrees anytime!
I would never, ever live in.-40. The biggest selling point to me, about nomadic life, would be to chase weather. Az/Florida/Coastal Texas in the winter, Oregon/Idaho/Montana in the summer, wandering around in the Spring and Fall. If its 90 outside the van its miserable inside. I'd prefer cool to chilly nights, so a person could SLEEP! I'm static right now, but camped a lot in my younger days. A mummy bag and 25 degrees is better than an air mattress and 80 degrees all day long.
@@roycesjourney37 thats what I do. My ideal night temps for nomad life are 45 to 60. That's like the sweet spot. I was in denver from August to to November and now as its getting winter i made my way down into Florida where the night temps are currently right in that sweet spot
Absolutely correct Brian. You can always throw on another layer but when it's a 110 in the shade it's miserable. Tell Miss Kelly that she's a good soul & not to be afraid of the camera.🙏💗
Thanks for the video Brian. I recently learned that when I'm chopping celery stalks for a soup to also include some of the celery leaves for added flavor. You might try it sometime and see if you like it. Merry Christmas !
Thanks for the translation it old Chinese woman was giving me celery out of her garden. That's most likely what she was telling me to use some of the leaves. Make sense
Brian, thank you for letting us be part of your day. Especially us who are older and quarantined in our homes. You go out and partake of the outdoors for us😇😇🥂🥂🎈🎈🙏🙏🎁🎁🕊🕊🌹🌹❤️❤️🌞🌞👍👍🍀🍀
To quiet the fuel pump clicking, insulate the lines on either side of it for one foot or so. Any sort of foam wrap will help. The sound mostly comes out of the pump output.
Wonderful old house at the center of the later additions, almost a log cabin. That barn is for drying tobacco I think, with the gaps between the boards for air circulation.
I’m always amazed how you find these perfect campsites away from the overcrowded city’s. So many of us viewers appreciate you sharing your lifestyle with us which I think is perfect! What I personally enjoy is after you do some hiking or exploring are the fantastic home cooked meals you prepare in your van... so good! I’m going to copy your chicken soup recipe for dinner tonight! Thanks Brian and safe travels to you and Kelly! ✌️👍
Always treasure my time with y’all!.....something peaceful in the middle of the day!......hurrah!....God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
I wished there were more men out in world like you Brian and be able to cook like you... I need one to travel and see the Country with and sightsee that I love to do and take it all in. I love exploring old places since I'm a huge History buff. Enjoy your day!! I will try on this cool Morning in Wisconsin... PEACE
Your story gives inspiration to those who are planning to live in an RV. We would love to share this with our customers who bought vacant land from us and planning to live away from the city. They will surely get awesome ideas from your videos.
Down here in Australia don't know too much about the cold. Worst thing about the heat is when it don't cool off at night - then it can be a real mongrel!
For me personally the perfect night Temps for van life is that 45 to 60 degree range. That's when i can sleep with no fan or anything I will say sleeping in the cold is much better than the heat. What I do is move around and follow the temps alot of times. I was in denver until it started getting into the teens and now I'm in central Florida where its been in the high 40s or 50s every night. 👌 Its crazy because right before Thanksgiving I was in a foot of snow on a mountain in the rockies and now I'm in the sun in Florida getting bit by mosquitos lol
Wow I'm making chicken soup right now!! But just in a regular pan on the stove .. In my kitchen.. It's cold here and I want the warmth and the great aroma!!! . I'll think of you two when I eat!!!
The Litton farm was a family subsistence farm. Had small farm animals, pigs, hens, and farmed the land mainly. Another couple lived there until it was taken over in the 40's and became the National Park it is today.
We had a similar diesel heater in my army armored personnel carrier. When they worked they were gold!!! The hand hewn logs at the farm were amazing!!! Looking good Brian! Love to see you happy!!
I love getting up and seeing a new, Adventure Van Man, video waiting to be watched, always wait till later when I'm winding down but look forward to them all day long, stay safe Brian!
Holiday greetings to you both! That looked like a nice little trail, that barn review was cool too! You know, exploring old buildings, I've often wondered just looking around in those old rooms, if only those old walls could talk, of all the events, that had taken place from years past!! Could you just only imagine what they would tell ya ?? Stay safe and healthy. Toledo 40° dry.
That farm looked like sun-up to sun-down for a lot of years. I don't imagine hand-hewing all those timbers or setting those flag stone foundations was any easy task. Thanks for bringing us along Brian, it was interesting.
Great video, Brian, beautiful place (and only a couple to 3 hours away from us, LOL, we're out of Bristol, TN area--small world, eh? 😜), great video (as always). Safe journey, brother, I hope y'all are well 😊✌
Love following you. So laid back and very informative. I just got a little Ford Transit Connect that I'm at making into a very simple "camper". I already got some great ideas, what to do and some great places to camp. Thanks.
Wow 🤩🤩 Another Magical, Peaceful Hike! 💜❄️ That soup looked delish. “Aint nobody got time for that” 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼💜💜 Happy Travels You Two! God Bless You Always! 😁🙏🏼💜🌟🕊
That 10:28 flew by so fast! I'm one of those who enjoys both the hot AND cold. As long as I have A/C and a heater, LOL! Enjoy the adventure Brian and Kelly! I think I'm going to make that soup for dinner tomorrow, I have all of the ingredients, yum!
Glad you made it to BSF and hope you visit the Twin Arches in a future video. The Litton (pronounced Lit-ton) has been renovated. There used to be original newspapers from the 1930's lining the interior walls. Enjoy!
Not only I got to go on a hike with you and Kelly. I also got to see a new recipe to explore. Gosh this was fun. Safe travels and see you in the next one.
I grew up in the Midwest (Mississippi & Ohio valley region) & think that I'd rather be too hot than to be too cold. It takes longer to warm up, rather than to cool off. Once your feet get cold, it seems to take a while to feel warmed up again! /To each their own, I guess.
Brian this video is another great example of why I and countless others love your content. ITS REAL. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Safe Travels Amigo......and away we go❤️.
Was that a new pressure cooker? Your peaceful little films are far more valuable than you realize. Thank you very much !!
It’s Kelly’s
@@AdventureVanMan What was the brand of the pressure cooker if I might ask?
GSI
How about a review/comparison between your pressure cooker (Hawkins?) and the GSI. I've been looking to buy and would like to know your thoughts..
@@AdventureVanMan if it's ok can I ask where Kelly purchased the pressure cooker? Thks

Wishing you a quick recovery. ✌🏼
"I would rather be cold, than hot".. Dude, I agree 100%
@Sewan & Sawen Creations Stupid fool. No one here said they wanted to freeze, just that they prefer cold to heat. What a snark.

"Ain't nobody got time for that." Kelly is a dream come true. 😁✌️
God bless you both we are also living through your free floating spirits! Relax , Take care and enjoy.
From India.
Ain't nobody got time for that... Hha
I agree Kelly 😉😊... I sure don't
Love the wide-plank walls of the farmhouse. Guess we call them "reclaimed" now.
Those were the days!

Another great video! Love the fire at the end! Something about a fire that just relaxes the soul
Awesome! 😎 Thanks for sharing ✌🏿
Hi Shemaj! Do you ever sleep? LOL 😎
@@RicG. I take naps 💤 LOL 😆
Always treasure my time with y’all!.....something peaceful in the middle of the day!......hurrah!....God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
Also I love the shot of the barn loft with the light and shadows! Great video!
The scenery on that hike was gorgeous, including the farm.
Such a beautiful hike. Love the Icicles ! So glad you have a steamer, you can make the greatest stew ! Good deal !
Thank you for the video. Glad you have a friend like Kelly. Take care .
That was an isolated farm location. Very beautiful hike. Would like to see it in the summer too.
So good to see you Brian
I like the way you start the with a meal and end the day with a meal sometimes
Thanks for adding real everyday routines
I love the looks of snow too. Recreate only not living and working in it
😀wow the soup looked yummy. Take care and travel safe.👍
I am surprised that Farmhouse was open. Very cool! And dinner looked great!
I love the guitar 🎸 music 🎶 you chose.
Beautiful vlog. Hi Kelly 💓
Thank you for sharing your journey.

Welcome to the great state of Tenn....💜🤴
Unfortunately not a lot of camping options, the only blm land I know is kayaking to islands. Even state parks are closed.
National Forest and State Forests are open. 👍🏼
@@AdventureVanMan Brian,if you need anything,,i have a place just east of knoxville..bottom floor is for guests...peace
Merry CHRISTmas !!! JESUS CHRIST Is The Reason For The Season !!!
GOD bless yall and be safe !!
Happy Holidays, to all religions!
Nice camping areas and hiking areas.

Right on! Thank you! 👍🏼
I grew up in the hills. A old homestead with that many outbuildings was a wealthy farmer back in the day.
Very pretty scenery. Living in SoCal makes you forget how beautiful the winters can. Maybe I need to stop trying to avoid them.
Looking good guys. Happy to see you are both doing well. Have a great Christmas and GOD BLESS!🙏🏻
Down here in Australia don't know too much about the cold. Worst thing about the heat is when it don't cool off at night - then it can be a real mongrel!
You and Kelly make a great couple be safe on travels
Nice shots from the under hang of water dripping, the icicles on moss, the waterfall and the light and shadow play in the structure.
Good one Brian really enjoyed the old homestead you an d Kelly have a great Christmas. Be safe God Bless.

That food looked delish, Im going to look into these pressure cookers
Awesome. Interesting to see if Tennessee is just as beautiful as Kentucky.
Brian your videos are so informative and relaxing. My favorite channel for years now. Be well and stay happy.
Wow I'm making chicken soup right now!! But just in a regular pan on the stove .. In my kitchen.. It's cold here and I want the warmth and the great aroma!!! . I'll think of you two when I eat!!!
An all around enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing it!
Wow, that hike was just beautiful. Loved the little waterfall you walked under. It's so nice to see how much fun you and Kelly are having.
So cool to hear you say, "Hello Tennessee!" I love, love Big South Fork! One of our best parks.
The Litton farm was a family subsistence farm. Had small farm animals, pigs, hens, and farmed the land mainly. Another couple lived there until it was taken over in the 40's and became the National Park it is today.
Watching your videos are soothing to my soul. Enjoy your journey, stay safe, keeping you in my daily prayers for health and safe travels.
Always short and sweet! Thanks...safe travels!
Another mellow video to start my weekend. Thanks, Brian
Delicious meal!
I really enjoyed the old farm house.
We had a similar diesel heater in my army armored personnel carrier. When they worked they were gold!!! The hand hewn logs at the farm were amazing!!! Looking good Brian! Love to see you happy!!
Beautiful snowy trail adventure with Kelly! Chicken soup with canned chicken- why hadn’t I thot if that! Yum.
Wonderful video. Love how you finish up the days with a little cooking, and a delicious hot meal!
Wow! Love that stone foundation and barn! Hope your journey continues to be safe and filled with adventure! 😉👍🇨🇦🌲💜
I love getting up and seeing a new, Adventure Van Man, video waiting to be watched, always wait till later when I'm winding down but look forward to them all day long, stay safe Brian!
Love your videos, literally the best vanlife vids on youtube in my opinion 👍
Scenic homestead!

Kentucky is amazing. Looks like something out of Tolkein. Thanks for some peaceful nonpandemic moments.
Beautiful scenery, little papoose. Good to see you're doing well.
Very nice blog. I enjoy all your adventures thanks so much.
That farm looked like sun-up to sun-down for a lot of years. I don't imagine hand-hewing all those timbers or setting those flag stone foundations was any easy task. Thanks for bringing us along Brian, it was interesting.
"Way We Go!" 😁
You find some of the coolest places! Thanks for sharing!
That old farm house and barn was really cool. Stay warm
Great video. I suspended the pump on my heater with heavy duty zip ties. Much quieter if it's not hard mounted. Be safe and blessed!
Welcome to Tennessee Brian and Kelly! Enjoy your visit. (Nashville guy here. 😎)
Thank you!
As always thank you!
Great video, Brian, beautiful place (and only a couple to 3 hours away from us, LOL, we're out of Bristol, TN area--small world, eh? 😜), great video (as always). Safe journey, brother, I hope y'all are well 😊✌

She was like your not going to fall on my head 😂 😂
Lovely scenery on your walk!
Your usual informative video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for showing us your diesel heater!
Gorgeous trail!! Thanks for sharing, safe travels :)
You better not fall on my head, hahaha 🤣 great trail and the soup looked awesome
I love my old stove top pressure cooker!

Beautiful little hike & falls guys.
Love your videos always looking forward to another. Makes me want to hit the road.
Enjoyed your awesome video ! Your dinner.made me hungry. Safe travels to you and Kelly!
Glad you made it to BSF and hope you visit the Twin Arches in a future video. The Litton (pronounced Lit-ton) has been renovated. There used to be original newspapers from the 1930's lining the interior walls. Enjoy!
Putting your flute at the end now.... good move. It’s are call to a peaceful adventure.
Pressure cooker way to go! Welcome to Tennessee
That is a beautiful hike.
Not only I got to go on a hike with you and Kelly. I also got to see a new recipe to explore. Gosh this was fun. Safe travels and see you in the next one.
That looked like a healthy easy meal. (-:

Beautiful.
I was thinking that roofing paper was probably the very first wallpaper. I imagine it was pretty good at keeping the heat inside in the old days.
Your soup looked delicious, nice hike. Safe travels🤗
