    Joey walking away from you with his vest on because he is mad was so funny. Dogs really do have personalities!!

    🫶. Just gorgeous scenery!! Thanks for sharing. Joey is too funny, he was truly upset with you for putting on the vest! ROTFL. My Chihuahua, Bella Louise 7 lbs gets absolutely furious with me if I try to put any clothes on her. But my St. Bernard 135 lbs, Sasha Elaine, (RIP) loved wearing clothes and the angel wings from Dollar Tree for kids! Hahaha. I look forward to your videos every week!! Again, Thank You so much for sharing your journey. 🫶

I'm hoping to follow your lead this year and finally give car life a try. There is so much to see in this state I'm in and I've stayed put for 24 years. No travel hardly at all. Things are going to change. Joey is such a sweetheart. Looks like he got over wearing the vest lol. Happy New year to you guys.

    @tallboy7736 5 місяців тому

    been watching your channel for a minute and I've been watching tons and tons of videos and love the life style. Over the last 3 or 4 years I've been wanting to live like yall do and now that my children are now grown and living and starting there lives I'm ready to finally start this life style. I'm singel so i don't need much at all besides a rig. So my question is how has your van done over the years with weather,climate,smooth roads,rough roads,and all types of weather? My parents have owned multiple town and country mini vans and always stayed up on maintenance and literally haven't had many issues but they don't travel in all the different conditions and I know you have been in snow,rain and heat waves. I'm obviously gonna be very new to van life even tho I've been researching thousands of videos and like most ppl want the sprinter van all decked out but since I'm just starting out and even tho I think at this point in my life after 25 years of working and raising my children and being singel I still don't want to drop 60 k on a built out van so how has your van done over the years and element's. Sorry I babbled on but wanted you to kinda know my situation. I don't need all the fancy stuff I'm a dude so I don't need a lot of stuff a couple or a woman needs so lmk how your van has done because just starting out I'm leaning towards that until I no if I really want to do this or not. Any info I'd be super appreciative!

Looks like you’re very nice place to go if I may ask what kind of drone do you have? Looks like you go quite a ways away, but keep up the good work and I love your videos and say hi to Sarah for me. I’m following them on their channel also. Thank you have a wonderful and safe time later.
