- In this video I depart from my camp in the Superstition Mountain area in Arizona and head towards the Prescott National Forest near Prescott, Arizona.
Thank you for being here.
*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!

Yay🙆, trees🌲, much preferred by me.✌
I think the cattle were eating the burnt wood because it contains minerals and salts they need.
I can't express how much joy your videos bring me. I especially love the close up pauses on all the flora and fauna you encounter on your adventures. I sincerely thank you for sharing your life with us! :]
Thanks for being respectful!
Modern campers don’t understand the concept!
God’s blessings.
“You have to be solution-oriented.” I love that! Thanks for the sentiment.
Beautiful spot to stay in
These cows roaming the desert are hardcore. We have watched them chomp on cholla before!
Your videos tempt me to sell everything and hit the road. After watching you camping in those beautiful places, I question why I am living the way I do, in a major, busy, noisy, crowded major California city. The weather is beautiful here, but I am hamster on a wheel.
Hmmm, methinks I'll be looking at vans this afternoon. 👍🏾
" I am hamster on a wheel."... Exactly!:)
@@ca98981 stop saying, start doing! 👍🙂
Do it girlfriend, do it! We're only young once! Then afterward you can sit in your rocker and look back with a grin on your face and no regrets! 🥰
You are a very nice, thoughtful man and I have followed you for many many years. I don’t understand why anybody would run a generator if the temperature is 70°. Wow. Waste of nonrenewable resources in addition to the noise.
Love Prescott.
You're such a pleasure, Brian. Truly. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾❤
Can't deal with the snakes. I wish I was like others who can easily just be cautious, but the fear is so great.
Love the wildlife. Not a snake fan. Beautiful tho.
I was going to say that it looked like the prickly pears were about to flower. Then the other cactus blooms popped up. 😊
That was rude of the those people that took the spot next to you and then ran their generator. I will never understand people who don’t consider others.
Their rig looked questionable.
Breaking-half bad or something.
It's the mentality of some people these days. They couldn't care less about others around them.
That diamond back was pretty big. GR8T video.
Your cow friend just was amazed at seeing you.
Some people take activated charcoal tablets because it's been shown to help cleanse cells in the body. Charcoal is a common filter for water, and the medical community has used it for years to treat poisoning. because it can help prevent toxins from being absorbed in the GI tract. The cattle might instinctively know that it helps them to stay healthier.
Beautiful campsite! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It always amazes me when people pull into a spot right next to someone - especially when there are tons of spaces. It's like parking your car away from all the others in a shopping mall and 10 seconds later someone pulls up right next to you. LOL! Enjoy the beautiful spot.
Exactly! It’s just like why!?!?
@@KRT045 Sometimes they figure YOU will move and then the space is all there's.
That's called 'herd instinct'. Here in New Zealand, all Kiwis know to give others personal space. It always surprises us that foreign travellers will park right outside our kitchen window while the rest of the camp is vacant.
Like someone taking the bathroom stall right next to yours when there are 5 other empty ones...
@@munchkin0518 this!
It's so beautiful to open your door and see Mother Nature the cows and the birds and the Beautiful cactus flowers in the beautiful opening roads
Brian you are becoming a great Chef!!👍👍👍✌
🦋
You're the luckiest man in the world Brian!
Kelly is pretty awesome!
Luck is something that happens by chance.
He chose to live this way, you can do the same! 👍🙂
Rattlesnakes, good food & cattle munching on coals in the fire, what a varied life you live 😃
You can cook for me any day. Lol.
Glad to hear that you and Kelly are going to get together soon.
The tweekers are everywhere..
Great shots of the Rattler and the Bulls! 😁
Brian, mount some cameras on your rig to look out when you're covered up with those shields.
HEY! Good morning Brain and thumbs UP to you !👍
Just watched Luis make a pizza in his Dutch oven, he makes killer bread too, you should look into one.Surprised you can find "New places to see, " you have traveled all over this country.✌😀
I hate when my meth pipe breaks! 😂😂😂
Great video, Brian! I loved the first campsite in the desert, that was beautiful!
Also, I believe I read animals are drawn to eating charcoal as it's good for ridding their digestive system of toxins. Our chickens used to get in our firepit and eat bits of it.
That made me lol
Probably from the RV that pulled next to him in the first spot. I see that shit at a place and I'm outta there.
wheres yur better half kelly we miss not seeing you 2 together . we love seeing you . 2 camping . together brother
Peaceful. Thanks for a look into your life ❤️
Man I hate snakes, lol. Thanks for sharing that, awesome new site though, rough roads definitely worth it.
Snakes aren’t for me either!
I could not watch the snake! I kept asking my husband if it was gone yet…
Ha! As someone once told me, only good snake is a dead snake 🐍
Boondock in New Zealand. No snakes!!
@@binkinghufy3658 nor nothing that kills you or maims you, except for those thorny bushes. I spent a month there, explored both islands. Beautiful country with very friendly people.
Great video, love camp life, you found a great site.
I learn so much from your channel. If your adventures were captured in a book I’d never put it down. I never realized that some national forests require you to move in only seven days. And oh man, that generator sound is truly horrifying. I will make sure if I ever do become a nomad I will do everything in my power to avoid them. Your drone shots are second to none and I keep coming back to your channel over all other nomad channels. Your authentic appreciation for nature is really what the lifestyle is all about. Just beautiful
✌️
Beautiful Landscape 😍😍😍🤤 & I'm hungry after this video 🤤👍
Thanks Brian👍👍
great video
Thank you 🙏 for your video
Have you ever thought about getting a sprouter? You would have fresh greens all the time and it's very small. We have a couple of videos showing them.
Fresh sprouts are great but require daily rinsing while growing. Water in a van is a precious commodity.
I'll check your channel to see if you offer an alternative to daily rinsing. Also vehicles can get too warm at time.
@@Kayte... we lived in a RV for six years and it doesn't take much water
Yes, I do. My 'sprouter' is just a small jar with a cloth over the top held on with a rubber band. Fresh micro greens all year.
Rattlesnake pizza is delicious! Stretch the hide for barter/$. It is used mostly on hats. Use caution with the fangs, but the head and rattles are $ in your pocket!
I'm glad you got away from the generator. I've been to campsites with generators and they really destroy the peace and quiet of the outdoors. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
Nice camping spots! Not sure about seeing a snake though lol!
Thank you again for another great video. I have been looking for one of those windshield covers for over a month for our 1995 Dodge Ram Van, thank you, I found it. That stir fry would be perfect with some shirataki noodles. Thank you again for your wonderful videos. Safe travels.
Ashes are full of potassium and magnesium. Those cows know what they need. It’s also why it’s good to spread ashes in your gardens.
Very nice video!
I saw you at Walmart last week - just made my day! Realized I had no idea what your name was. Anyway, I enjoy your videos so much. I'm headed back to Kansas tomorrow. Keep your videos coming!
Crack pipe, rattlesnake, longhorn bull, generator, rough road, pizza and snap peas! Really! That's what I get for watching the whole video! My life sucks, going back to bed, can't compete with all that 🌛! Happy travels my friend 😊
Beautiful Dessert Bloom's Another Mouth Watering Pizza Nice Welcome Home Dirt road. Big Rattlesnake 😬 Can't wait to see Kelly ✌️
Mount a small camera high on the box so you can monitor movement out front. Reversing camera with its dedicated monitor will do the trick!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the nature around you
Generators urrr, those bulls where probably eating some kind of fat drippings from whatever the last person made, or some type of food, they don't care what's on the charcoal or wood, they'll eat it.. great location and so glad you moved away from the noise and people...
Veggies look great!:)
You know when it's not going to be chill when generators and meth pipes interrupt your Zen.
Love the frozen veg mix, so convenient and budget savy for the single meals. Cheers Brian 🤣🇦🇺
Beautiful cows. 🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂
Thanks for a great video, Brian!
Imagine how the birds feel…about your power tools.
🤣🤣🤣
have great day, thank you
Great video, Brian. Enjoy your time with Miss Kelly when she is done with her current job.
Good video. The most I liked was the lesson on how not to be bitten by a snake. Leave her alone. The snake does not bite you. Thank you.
Great videos. My wife and I both enjoy your channel. We miss Kelly. Will she be able to rejoin your adventures
Superstition mountains view, beautiful.
Just a beautiful rattlesnake!!😎
Thanks for updating and sending me the videos 📹
Nice looking stir fry. I haven't cooked with ginger much, and I wouldn't have thought to combine it with garlic. I'm going to have to try it now. Thanks for sharing!
The cows like the burnt wood and ash from the fire pit. it helps them with their digestion. Eating the desert shrubs.
Your videos are very helpful in my camping experience..you are amazing
Brian, thank you for always sharing your great adventures. Btw you should have been a chef. 🙂
That snake is huge! Yikes! Guess you know the striking distance of a snake......
Plus he was being smart and leaving the thing alone. 45% of people that get bit by a snake are screwing with the snake! The other 55% are true "accidents" (stepping on/near it).
Great that you have enough clearance to navigate those rougher roads! Amazing that your noisey neighbors got that "big rig" up there.
You got it dude! Wonderful life! 🎉❤🎉
Always be safe out there! Love your videos.
WOW! That's a whopper of a rattler.
Awesome video! That snake looked to be a Mojave by the looks of the markings on his tail. Much more venomous than the eastern.
Yes, the Western Diamondback venom is actually less potent but they pump more of it into you than the eastern. Beautiful reptile none the less. ✌🏼
I hate when I find a nice quiet spot and then someone nearby runs their generator all day. Time to move! Love your videos. Thanks! 👍👍
i used to live in Prescott.. the forest is beautiful...nice hiking there
visit the downtown of prescott ... whiskey row ... interesting wild west history there
lots of "rehabs" in prescott...unfortunately, many of the residents don't go home when they are discharged.
Glad Kelly is turning back up. Was concerned that she might have moved on and lost this treasure!! 😍
Brian, that was a pretty good sized rattler.
A little bit of a rattlesnake. Very cool
I dunno why but "Hey no grazin on my onions, Buddy" sounds like some sort of slang term.
Beautiful campsites 😁👍✌️
👍👍👍👍👍
Your videos are so peaceful, as I sit in my 4runner in the desert evening and relax before bed. I love your cooking too!
Blows me away the people that move right in on your camp spot and then run a generator. Last year I had someone move in 3 feet from my ass. I was camping where there was lots of places to camp. Like 20 miles of camping and they moved in on my ass. I couldn't believe it.
Good to see ya doing well and still out n about.
I have a Jeep renegade Trailhawk, small car, I pull a snowmobile trailer that I converted to a camper, just so I can get to those places most others can't reach. Works for me and the wifey! Nice spot.
Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Beautiful cactus flowers
Cows eating charcoal... I recall something from my days in Scouts (in the 60s) that burnt toast was part of a remedy for stomach upsets. or.....poison? I'm guessing that Mother Nature has taught the bovines that activated charcoal can be a good thing. Great video, Brian. Thanks!
Smart move getting out this week! Supposed to be in the 70’s next week but the heat in the desert is inevitable!😂
The rattlesnake would scare me. Wow. Be careful.
One can keep themselves in fairly comfortable temps when you have a home on wheels. This has always been a plus in mobile living.
Thanks for another great video 👍 Safe travels ✌️
❤️
Awesome possum. Nice job. Keep up the good work.
No sense in sitting around in hot weather when your house is mobile, especially with those longhorns & rattlers around. Always like your cooking. Thanks for all the new content Brian.✌️
👍👍👍👍👍👍Excellent video. 😊
Escaping noisy suburbs with their noisy neighbours, only to go camping & be confronted by more noisy neighbours. 😑 Humans. That's why Max(k9) & I go camping for peace n quiet.
For a thin and crispy pizza crust I used 2 big burrito wraps with a sprinkle of cheese between them. so they stick together and to phem as you usually do, it makes a wonderful easy crispy crust..
Interesting video! Snakes, flowers, parks, yummy dinner! All good. I respect your solution oriented thinking!
