      It all depends on the type of trip you want. I've stayed at one location for 5 days; I've also spent 5 days at 5 different spots enjoyed every moment on both trips so it's down to preference I would say. :)

    I definitely agree with David and Tacoma Jon on the idea of honoring the spot you worked so hard to find. Nature, the outdoors and solitary time to think is worth a lot. Some of the channels I follow seem to be fleeing from something or trying to find the unknown ideal. Always driving! I enjoy your style of kicking back and letting nature have a tantrum while you snuggle down with Daisy and a warm whiskey 🥃

    The wheel was one of man's greatest inventions. A folding wheel barrel or cart sure would come in handy for hauling firewood back to your van. Conserving energy during hard times and being efficient is key. The pioneers never had gas powered equipment but we still use much of their tools to this day.Happy travels.

At how life can be so simple and bliss outdoors thank you for all that you do. I must say the words you use to describe it all opened my heart.

    Great video! One thing we can always be assured of, change is inevitable. If the lifestyle teaches you nothing else, it teaches you to be more resilient. Make do with the resources at hand. One of my biggest regrets in pursuing the outdoor lifestyle, is not spending more time in places, and then returning to those places at different seasons of the year. Keep on enjoying yourself and maybe we will bump into one another.

    @faceinthecrowd5810 2 роки тому

    We have a van for weekends and vacations. Last year I bought a specialized turbo levo EMTB, I will be combining the van camping with my EMTB. I dont see where in our case that hauling around my EBike will reduce our gas use but anytime our van is not running we used less gas. As for exploring with an EBike , it is fantastic!! The additional power availability lets any uphills become a non issue, the typical range I get with a full charge is around 45 to 55 miles depending on how much power I choose to assist with. As a cyclist with or without a battery motor….any MTB will work for exploring but the EMTB is a great motivation and I tend to roam further. Charging? For now either shore power or my Blueitti 50 inverter/ power. An EBIKE with no charge is a tank to peddle, you dont want that experience!! Great videos, always super well done!!

    I've pretty much been thinking along the same lines recently. Still planning to travel and camp as much as possible this year, but it will probably be fewer trips where I spend more time camping rather than more trips that are faster paced. Looking forward to seeing more about the e-bike too as that is something I have been considering to facilitate exploring while I leave the van parked at base camp to save fuel.

    The ability to re-charge the e-bike via solar/Jackery is a definite plus.
