Living in a van down by the river was one of my favorite skits on Saturday night live that was a great reference and it made me chuckle thank you again for another outstanding video I love the desert myself one thing you can get there more than anywhere else is peace and solitude
Love these videos. I used to be pretty adventurous and wild in my younger days but I’m happiest when I’m with my 10 month old grand daughter. My daughter had 5 failed pregnancies and the 6th one took. I spend every free moment with her and take her on mini adventures so I can teach her to dream and look at the world differently. Love your spirit.
RIP Chris Farley! I'm sure, somewhere, Matt Foley is living it up in his van, down by the river! Thank you for the adventurous trip! It's amazing that a place so desolate and hot can STILL have the beauty and life sustaining river running right through it!
Hey Hannah, you’re absolutely right, only we can make that change that lead us to be happier in life, and most of the times, it’s got to do with the simple things in life 🙂🙂🙂. As for me, nature, mountains and rivers, lakes and creeks … the peace and calmness you find there, that’s what makes me happiest and you’re definitely a big inspiration to lots of your followers. So thank YOU 🚐🌺
I highly recommend you reconsider your tire pressures when off road. I can't tell if these are LT or P metric tires, (LT tires are superior in strength and puncture resistance compared to P metric tires) but please note on the dirt road sections shown in the video, you can safely drop the pressures down to 18 to 20 psi at the speeds you're traveling. You might as well leave your tires at 50 psi if only lowering to 40 psi. This isn't just for traction, but it is to protect the tires from stone bruising or stone cuts. Rocks and roots are always stronger than rubber, so by lowering the pressure you essentially allow the tire to envelop the rock instead of getting a puncture or slashed sidewall. Just think of your tires as the Pillsbury doughboy and how you can push your finger into his belly......just like the TV commercial, lol. You want your tires the same way against potential off road hazards. This also means you'll need a substantial compressor to re-inflate the tires quickly so you're not dreading letting the air out. And if you get into a very bad off road situation (like super soft sand climbing out of an arroyo), you can temporarily lower your tire pressures down to at least 12 psi to get the necessary flotation and traction needed to drive out of situation. Find an empty lot near your home and practice lowering the pressures to 12 psi and driving around so you can see what it feels like so you'll feel comfortable doing it in the field.
Thank you!! I actually ended up bringing them down some more for this reason but not quite 20, I've seen a few comments saying the same thing here so I'm going to go down a little further next time=)
I'm really really happy sitting on my wrap around porch watching your videos and drinking that mushroom coffee... it's really good. I love the beach and kayaking and the desert and the mountains just being outdoors but when it's warm
With every video, I still get so impressed with the unbelievable combination of Brains, Courage, Beauty, and Class with a hint of teasing that you have made an art form. Truly remarkable woman!
Happy you got out of the mine Ok!! Like all others they contain the restless spirits of the ones who died searching for riches. You certainly take some risks!! Hope you will share the experience when you are ready. I like to be atop a hill watching the sunset as I was on the solstice again this year. I time to reflect..
"Down by the Riverside" is a great old Gospel song. It's always fun to tag along with you on your Adventures. But Music Trivia just adds to the enjoyment. Much respect Doc...
In addition to the jumper, jumper cables, air compressor, lights, food, water, and things to change a tire you might want to consider a Pulse Rifle, Smart Gun, Motion Tracker, and marking flares. Never know if you might run into a Xenomorph or two. Having Sigourney Weaver along wouldn't hurt either. 😉
This has to be one of my favorite videos from you. Really interesting driving through that mine. I sure never saw it coming. Loving the van even more. What a cool rig. You are channeling your inner Chris Farley in this one too!
Living in a van down by the river was once a threat of how your life could turn out on SNL. now it’s a goal! 😂 out of all of your adventures, this is the one so far that I wish I were with you on. Everything about it seems incredible. Desert, mine, creek, river, van, amazing person to adventure with. Yep. This is the one! Off reading in a beater is the most fun you can have. Enjoyed the video my friend! Thanks for taking us all with you!
@@DrHannahStraight I am. It’s so hot here that I haven’t gotten out much, about to do a video on some music/ guitar related stuff that I can do from inside my practice/ recording room. Much cooler! Stay frosty!
Doc, you know I actually worry about you! I know you researched it, but during a 1/4 mile into an abandoned mine! That’s pushing it. Glad you took some friends along! But seriously, I applaud you and the adventures you have in your life! Have Fun Doc!
Raymond!! Thank you for caring, I do appreciate and read every comment and try to respond to all of them and really appreciate the encouragement=) So glad you came along and happy happy Sunday!!! Get some Vitamin D out there today=)
Quite the adventure! I would imagine there are a number of critters who enjoy the cool air in that mine too! In the 80's it was thing to convert cars like Lincoln Continentals to four wheel drive. Cool that they have kits to do that now - at least for some vehicles. I was reasonably happy living in the high desert when I was working but for sure am happiest now living in the quiet hills of North San Diego County where I can get to the surf with a short drive.
I was wondering what happened to that thing...glad to see it's still around and working...and wondering where your store all those big toys (your truck camper must have some pretty amazing and magical storage cubbies). This was a fun episode, it lifted my spirits and brightened my day and even reminded me of my favorite motivational speaker - thanks. Safe travels.
Brad! great van, so far so good - thought I'd lose her to a radiator issue on this trip with the heat but the water pump hasn't blown yet😂 So glad I could bring some smiles, one day at at time, don't forget=)
Go back to her early video when she got the lance camper and ( and missed ) the last rung coming down the camper ladder .. sorta funny 😄 mentioned she has storage building
From what I know these vehicles are pretty hood. Especially for $700! With so many types of campers, RVs, travel trailers options out there, thats how I started watching this channel. I really like the idea of a pop up on a 4x4 pickup. Really like the Alaskan brand.
Yes, I remember the "Living in a van down by the river" skit by Chris Farley on SNL. I turn 50 next month, used to watch SNL all the time back in "the day" when it was worth watching. Your conclusion really got my thinking about life and where my happiness really lies. And now I need to go watch that skit again....
Chris Farleys sketch for Saturday Night Live. Living in a Van, Down by the river. Also, Neil Youngs song. Down by the river. Looks like a lot of fun. Those old mines can be a lil dangerous but a lot of fun to explore. And that creek looks absolutely amazing for a cool off mission. Only thing I worry about being near water is the bugs. I've got swarmed stopping on my motorcycle many times with black flies. Thank God for the helmets to keep them out of my face. lol
Hey Doc, when you are in this type of environment I sure hope you keep a keen eye out for rattlesnakes. Do not want to ever hear about you getting hurt on one of your many adventures. Instead of the desert near Lone Pine how about an adventure near Echo Summit at 7000 feet where it is much cooler and no snakes? Happy Camping.
Your in the mine segment showed how well protected thr roof was from falling rock. Plus the nice smooth floor. That mine had been worked over to either be educational or was recently active. It was just too nice. As a geologist, I can tell you about sketchy mines. Keep in mind, the best rocks are in the less picked over sites so you have to be bold and look for places that were missed by other folks.
As the late Matt Foley once said! If you're not careful then you're going to " Live in a Van down by the River!" Which now a days looks pretty damn cool! I'm really considering doing the camper truck life , nothing really holding me back , so what's the excuse? Lol ;)
Awesome views as always Dr. Straight! Glad you traveled with company and everyone had a wonderful time! Stay safe out there...those mine shaft can be...well I guess you found out!😱
Like your words of wisdom young Lady. I agree with some of the other viewers though, always remember never go into some of the places you do without some friends and always use caution. Keep up the good work doing your adventures, I too at your age use to adventure out, just remember to always be safe.
Thank you for documenting and sharing your experience with us. let’s me enjoy my life through you. thank god for blessing us with your beautiful self also.
Im 70 years old from Detroit, and had many Vans in the 60's and early 70's we had many great adventures some I won't admit to, but what your missing is shag carpet and eight track tape players with Led Zepplin in them, truck on Girl, I enjoy your adventures esp in old Chevys'!
This is so cool. I know those mountains well. I used to get lost out there as much as possible, I have a little shack near Mt Whitney. You’re making me homesick!!! 🤣🤣🤣👍❤️
I am so into you, I'm commenting on the "living in a van down by the river" statement. I've watched alot of your videos and I absolutely adore you Hannah. This is truly my first TH-cam comment. I've been vanning for about 20 years on the East Coast.. broke the Mississippi once in a rental, I'm completely self sufficient and committed on my path to a life on the road, rooted only by possessions and the demands of the hierarchy for the common dollar. I love to see you enjoying your life and sharing it with all who care to see. you inspire me to keep on my good path of righteousness and hold firm to my beliefs, my spirit, my dignity. Upmost respect and true love and blessings, I imagine meeting some day in some wild, far out and completely serene serendipitous situation.
Jared!! Sorry for the delay but loved reading your comment and thank you so much for leaving it=) I haven't traveled too much in my vehicle on the east coast yet - just west coast so it's on the list! If you have any all time favorite spots over there I'm all ears=) Sending you much love and good vibes, stay safe out there and keep living the good life=)
Very glad you have a beautiful vehicle to go anywhere to enjoy Life to it’s fullest! Love all your video that you share on TH-cam! Be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone!
down by the river, snl Loved how I get a slight dopamine hit from watching you do what I should be doing now. Any videos on that van and the upgrades, would love to have a spare beater like that!
the Chris Farly SNL Down by the river quote was great. he was gone too soon. glad to see you bring back the van. everyone else on TH-cam (with the exception of Forest) is living out of these 40K sprinter vans, with another 10k of add-ons. so, the make it look like you need $50K to live in a van down by the river. Glad to see you did yours on a budget. that looks like an awesome spot by the way. Myself, i am a Desert rat. drop the top on the Jeep and wheel all day long. then find a remote lake and fish. nothing is a good a fresh fish caught out of a stream or desert lake and cooked over an open fire. that my favorite place to be.
This summer video is just right on a cold December day. You have a lot of guts going down underground, who knows what's down there or if its safe from a collapse. That watermelon looks delicious.
great videi! Was already scared in the mine, but laughed when you dropoed the flashlight. I love that little asttro van. I'm not a TH-camr, so living in a van down by the river! Totally would be my MO 🤣😂🤣🤪
"Down by the River" implies you're a possible motivational speaker! Looking forward to it. :) (h/t to one of Chris Farley's iconic roles) Good reference Dr.!
Doc just found ur channel today... watched 3 video so far. I'm hooked. Although the mine was maybe just a bit too dangerous... But ur so strong and brave.. young lady.. great work be safe. "A. New fan.
I m happiest where there is shade and the sound of running water. That mine would have freaked me out even before you saw whatever you did. I would have died from claustrophobia That was an amazing video adventure
RIP Chris Farley. You are truly missed. 🇺🇸

The area you're in is one of the best places to explore, I've been there many times and camped out there over the Memorial day weekend.
great videi! Was already scared in the mine, but laughed when you dropoed the flashlight. I love that little asttro van. I'm not a TH-camr, so living in a van down by the river! Totally would be my MO 🤣😂🤣🤪
Yessssss Chris Farley….I love it 😊 living in a van down by the river…lol

I hate mines, the fear of collapse. Glad you came out without incident.
Fun exploration! Water makes every location better!
I agree 100%!
"Down by the River" implies you're a possible motivational speaker! Looking forward to it. :) (h/t to one of Chris Farley's iconic roles) Good reference Dr.!

Hi Hannah You are certainly a Person who is always having a zest for life we love watching you
I love the mountains, the rivers and the wild animals 5,at are kind enough to to let me visit! Dr Hannah, you’re an inspiration and so down to earth!
I m happiest where there is shade and the sound of running water. That mine would have freaked me out even before you saw whatever you did. I would have died from claustrophobia That was an amazing video adventure
