Little did we ALL know at the time, but this would be our last "normal" summer for a few years.....
Do you remember those days? Phrases like "social distancing", "flatten the curve", "stay safe",and my personal favourite, "We're all in this together" became normal, not just here in North America, but literally all over the world. If this pandemic has taught us anything at all it's being patient, and more importantly it's shown us that as mere human beings we are all fragile physically, but certainly not emotionally.
Thank you both for providing some emotional therapy with your videos, I love them as I'm sure thousands of others have to. xx
Watching kamp dig snow was priceless.
Thank you for understanding the absolutely brilliant idea that the National Parks are! We need to protect them and it is our entry fees and pass fees that keep them protected.
I had my Shiba for 19 years, and I lost him last year to old age and watching your videos and seeing your shiba warms my heart so much.
The story of how you met is awesome. Congrats on 8 years. So glad I follow
I love your open heart and your ability to think on your own instead of letting others define who you are. It's so refreshing!! Years ago I lived in a camper with no running water (we collected run off from the roof in large containers)or flush toilet and we hung our clothes out on a clothesline. My husband and I welcomed our first 2 children into the world there on our own before deciding to live a more conventional life. I still miss the simplicity and freedom of our start as a couple. Life got busy and at some point I realized we'd become enmeshed in the responsibilities of a "normal life." Sigh... I dream of having a chance of doing something like that again when my 5 teens are gone.
"Very gently, with all of my heart threw him across the river.."
think of the park fees as a donation to help keep these beautiful parks epic
You got it!! So glad I finally realized this. Kinda took my seeing a national park to understand the hype!
I wish our federal taxes went to the parks.
@@ElsaRhae what's the video after you took your scamp in for renovation to the guy that renovates old campers????
Our National Parks should always be protected, I'll gladly pay an entrance fee to assist in their preservation. Great views, thank you!
Just think of all the lumber that could be harvested there.
Definitely needs to be protected.
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of months now and just thought that it’s time for me to communicate my appreciation. I live in my motorhome full-time and it’s not my first rodeo living like this.
I’m in Los Angeles parked on private property but hope to be able to travel at some point.
You guys have given me all kinds of great ideas from Camping hacks to food ideas.
Rock on!!
The sound of the river while youre cooking that deliciousness. Yes thats perfection.
I’m writing this after emerging from Yamaska National provincial Park in Quebec (very good biking) and Acadia in Maine - working my way back west to Colorado after six weeks on the road with my two kids while my husband travels for work. Teardrop camper and a rooftop tent for an epic summer road trip.
National parks are a treasure! Acadia is especially beautiful and wild and awe inspiring and worth every mile and minute on the road. Love your videos and your promotion of a simpler life.
Kamp playing in the snow was so darn cute! Him was so excited to play in it lol.
You always see the magic and beauty in every situation. It’s why I love you so much. Unfettered, free spirits who always give much more than you take. Beautiful. Magical. Thank you.
I'm from Iowa.
I took a college trip to New York about 10 years ago. One of the last places we visited was Central Park. I have heard a lot about Central Park, and was really excited.
It is beautiful, don't get me wrong. But its NATURE. And there are people EVERYWHERE. Took me a minute to realize that in NYC, they cram all of their nature into Central Park. After a week in NYC, it was a bit more beautiful, but then we flew home, where we have a bit more nature everywhere!
Hearing that you had only ever gone to your first national park a few months ago made me realize how much I take for granted living 10 minutes away from one. National parks are something I wish everyone could see, they're all so beautiful!
Keep on living like youre living ... For/In the moment......Don't get old like me and please keep taking care of your health like you're doing. I had a heart attack the other day had no clue thought I'd never have one. But genetics play such a huge role. Don't stop living !
I hope your doing well.
Shit man, take care!!
@@ElsaRhae ... that genetic component kicked my butt. All the healthy living and eating I did didn't matter. Older people go get your arteries checked. I'm doing fine and have been told I'll have a full recovery. Thanx all !!!
@@itsjojo4 thank you and I am doing better. I had a blood clot in my artery that caused the heart attack..crazy scenario......healthy fit but that didnt matter at all. Lesson learned Live Life each day to it's fullest !
Hope you're feeling better. Are those your dogs in the picture? They are beautiful
I live right outside of Grand Teton. While my heart is warm that you now understand why we must protect national park services, I have to suggest if you're interested in the off season, unpopulated experience, please come back when a local would- early spring or after Labor day. Safe travels!
I’m disabled and qualified for a free pass to all of the national parks. Since we picked up my pass at Devils Tower in Wyoming last month, we went on a spree and hit up Mesa Verde, Canyonlands, Arches, Glen Canyon and a couple national forests!! I can’t wait to get our trailer and hit the road!! 💜
I had the pleasure of living in a National for a couple years and you appreciate the effort that is put into the upkeep of the land. There's lots of beautiful free land too, I appreciate both immensely.
Really wish I had a way to message so I'd know you guys read this. Only bcuz I want y'all to know what an impact you have on one person. You guys live the life I have dreamed of since high school, I'm now 39. The weight of just life plus bad decision making led me into the world of addiction. And by that I mean a crippling addiction I deal with every minute of every day. If I share something real and honest it would be that I don't have anything to wake up for each and every day. So, where do y'all come into play? I found you guys about 6mnths ago while watching vids of people living the kinda life I missed out on. There is something about your vids specifically that bring this amazing amount of joy and calm that I don't often get with my lifestyle. So thank you! A thousand times thank you! I realize it's not the impact you probably expect to make on someone but means so much to me and really gets me through some tough days. Sincerely.
the waste problem is so massive, and I feel your pain. those tetra packs are so convenient, but not easily recyclable. and now theres little use in recycling plastic since it has a good chance of being put in a landfill anyway. I suppose aluminum cans and glass are the best bet now, cons being both are heavy and one is fragile. I have been reusing more of my recycling for small herb planters. it might not be a solution for forever, but it's at least giving it another use.
You, my friend, are awesome 🙌🏼
Years ago I fortunately saw many of our parks. I no longer visit due to overcrowding. I still camp and see awesome places without others.
Happy anniversary!
Safe travels
Love Barrons singing while you're cooking, very funny. Lamp has the best life😁🙋🐕
Fun factoid... National FORESTS are part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thus the cows. Their mission is to provide agricultural uses, including forestry and grazing to “the nation”. Recreation is sort of a secondary or ancillary use. Try to at least pay their way as an agency through permits, fees, timber sales etc. National PARKS are part of the Department of Interior, and were created to preserve and protect natural and cultural resources for the use and enjoyment of the public. Each agency was formed by establishing legislation that tells the agency what Congress wants them to manage land for. (Former Park ranger and federal land manager.). Forgive me if this comes off in any way other than sharing some info that lots of people have no reason to particularly understand or care about. 🤪
priola7 glad you explained it. I’ve always referred to them as welfare cows. 😊 those cows do have a right to be in the National Forest.
Yes, and lets Thank Teddy Roosevelt for getting the right start...don't let Trump destroy it ...get him the hell out of the White House.
Mr. Mark totally agree!
@@Grandma.Lilly. What about the wild animals ???
The cows carry bugs that the wild animals can catch .
Check out the Bison and the Big Horn Sheep after cows and sheep come in contact .
Then what about the wild predators the Wolf , Bear , Wolverine , Puma , Panther Snakes and Alligator . I guess they just gotta die or move for the welfare beef .
AND the thing is the beef and sheep that are sick and making the wild animals sick .
@@MAgaSUXX 🤔
The government allows farmers/ranchers to bring cows/goats to certain allotments of land to eat the brush. It helps with the wildfires not having fuel. Worked with US Forestry Service in College on a program like that.
Kamp digging in the snow was the cutest! Awww
Omg, I always give my truck a congratulatory pat when it makes it up a big mountain pass with my horse trailer. Love that you give your car a little love too!
I just love that sweet story on how you two met. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story about y'all getting together again. So sweet.
Camp is a whole damn mood!!! When Barron risked his life to get of the dopest f*cking shots ever🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Camp playing in the snow made me 🤣🤣☺️. Love this channel!!❤️
Love our national parks! A lot of people don't know that the annual pass will also get you into national monuments and wildlife refuges, a lot of which are just as cool as the parks and less crowded!
"Can we like blatently flirt with you?" I love this its such a wonderful example of honest comunication and consent in reality.
Couldn't stop smiling when Camp was digging in the snow!!! Precious!! Cows in the National Park...ok. Save & extraordinary travels u 3!!!
As someone who worked in the Tetons last summer, I will never forget the beauty! I'm glad you were there for your anniversary:)
My National Park is St. John, US Virgin Islands. It's beaten up from two Cat5 Hurricanes but still going strong.
Our parks are our treasures. Read about President Teddy Roosevelt. He's the one that thought seven generations ahead and made them happen!
I just bought a Casita TODAY and am moving to the big island to start my own adventure. Thank you for making the videos you make. You gave me the courage to say, heck, yeah, I'm so doing that!
The history of the grand Tetons national Park is an interesting story. Battle between the cattle ranchers and the interests of keeping the land protected and available to everyone. I love the Tetons ❤️. Enjoy your adventures in the national parks 🏞
ELSA: “This is a paper map, but it does not show our current location.”
BARRON: “Well that’s useless. What do you even do with these things?”
Brilliant. I am laughing my ass off right now!
The map can make a good fire starter .
😁 😁 😁 👍 💯
His version of that Sean Paul song is amazing 😂😂😂
Yosemite and sequoia national park are amazing. Both are touristy but definitely worth seeing! Yosemite is breathtaking and humbling because of its enormity and beauty. The sheer danger of many of the hiking trails really gives a different perspective of the world I don’t even know how to describe it. And the general sherman tree in sequoia is just epic. So cool that trees that big exist on earth and are gonna be here long after we’re gone. It’s almost comforting in a strange way idk. Definitely keep us updated though on your national park adventures!
I have been following your channel for quite awhile because it is wondeful. In this video, you mentioned going to school (college) in Lawrence, Kansas. Bingo, my high school sweetheart and I are KU alum. 1972-1976.
Yes, life will be good to you two. I can tell. John in N. California.
Your videos teach me how to be happy with the stuffs I have. Like you both. Embrace what life give you.
Omg kamp digging in the snow should be a gif. He is just the sweetest!
😂❤️
ranchers bring their cows into national forest land to help preserve the grasslands and mimic the herbivory of the large grazers like buffalo that used to roam through all of North America! It's actually super cool and what I'm doing an internship in right now. Look up restorative/adaptive grazing! I'm working on doing soil surveys to help provide more evidence of the positive influence of livestock grazing done well.
I just love your videos, please don’t ever stop... having my breakfast and watching. You guys are like such an awesome pair...
Grand Teton national park is my favorite place. My husband and I celebrated our 19 yr anniversary together. And took our RV to grand Tetons yellow stone and glacier. Love camping.
You folks are the real deal. An impressive commitment to your lifestyle!!!
I am so with you on your epiphany...I have always felt this way about our national parks. Thank you for your eloquence on this matter, so many don’t “get it” ❤️
Camp playing in the snow is adorable
Over here just binge watching all of your amazing videos. Living vicariously living through you both. Yall are my favorite ❤️
What a Beautiful park.
Kamp digging in the snow = ❤️❤️❤️
Kamp!! You be all better now, wow! what energy and sparkle he's got! Congrats, you crazy young'uns on those eight years together. And thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
OMG Kamp in the snow is the best thing I've seen today.
Car troubles are SO STINKING STRESSFUL!!
Also....the paper map struggle was so funny.....and relatable!!!
And Happy Anniversary!! 🥰🥰🥰
haha, so glad you thought the map thing was funny. I was thinking I should have added some text saying "this is a joke" for those people who take things seriously :) Thanks so much for the love
buy a chev or dodge ya wont have troubles like that and ya also support american made which is the right thing to do
It's good to see y'all back on the road enjoying yourselves.
Camp is so cute digging in the snow!
He looks happy and healthy. I’m glad he has recovered from his allergies.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful journeys.
"Very gently, with all my heart, threw him across the creek." 😂😂😂
No way!! I also met my now husband, 8 years ago on the 4th of July! Congratulations you two!! 🤗❤️
We are so blessed to all own that. Keep public lands in public hands.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with me.
It’s lovely to see you folks again.
That meal you cooked looked epic.
Our National Park system is a treasure.
I got a lifetime park pass when I turned 62. It’s the best $10 I ever spent.
We regularly go to Big Bend NP, and have been to Great Smoky Mountains NP several times, and to Grand Canyon NP once. Looking forward to hitting up a lot more of them soon.
Happy Trails
The Tetons themselves are stunning, but I can see how they might give you the impression they did if they were your first park. It's one of the most "boring" national parks I've been to...even though it's still awesome! Yellowstone is my favorite and there it's so obvious there why we need some actual legal protection for those lands. If you're out west the annual pass makes you the money back so quick! Love your content and message...keep it up! ❤️
Camp is so funny in the snow. If only it was a snow mouse... you wouldn’t have a scamp anymore😂
You are just too adorable! We need more peeps like you! Wishing you continued peace and wonderful adventures!! Fellow pup lover
GTNP is my fav!!! Snow doggy is so cute! Mice are such a royal pain! Get some steel wool and stuff it into any crevice in the undercarriage especially near the wheel wells - wheels are a mousey superhighway to possible food!
Wow, this is a great idea!!
Mice gate to chew thru it and don’t like the way it feels on their feet
I know that the universe has it's own way of fixing things when the go wrong and screw them up when they are going right (usually to show us endurance) How ever it goes I'm glad the universe directed me to your videos. Me and my husband are getting ready to start the next adventure in our lives and having seen what went wrong with the build on your scamp it's made me realize There will be ups and downs. Some we can control ,some the universe will throw at us and some will be random shenanigans! I hope that karma is good to you both for awhile. (While the universe really sticks it to others)
You have got to see Zion National Park in Utah! I've travelled many places and that by far is the coolest natural place I've ever seen!
Kamp was so excited when he saw the snow. So nice to see and funny. What a beautiful place to celebrate 8 years together. ✌xx
Tetons was one of the more “just drove the road and you’ll see what there is to see” national parks I’ve been to. I just came back from Glacier - while the Going to the Sun Road was populous, the park finally sang when me and my friend started along the highline trail, we got to see parts of the park unavailable by car. That being said, I’m glad to be out of the throngs of people and fighting for trailhead parking :).
Cows and cattle are actually part of pasturing as a form of agroforestry. A method that has been used since the Neolithic revolution. It's sustainable and healthy for the forest :) It is common here in Europe too and is better for the forest than conventional mass farming.
Kamp is so stinking adorable! So much personality! 💙
Glad ya found each other, it doesn’t happen for everyone. Be blessed.
😑 ALRIIIIGHT, I finally subscribed. Several days ago, I saw an interview of you guys on a video about tiny campers. I found you & have watched probably 20 of your videos and finally just gave in. But it’s all because of Camp 🤓
🤣
Lorchid23 I’m hooked too.
Lorchid23 ha ha! The dogs always suck you in!
Please accept my apologies for misspelling Kamp’s name. I’m new around these parts and didn’t realize you’d spelt his name, non-traditionally. But, considering your lives and lifestyle, I should’a known.
I worked a seismic job years ago. There were cows on the property. They tore up all kinds of things.
Chewed up my trailer wires, tie downs, and even lanyards for the seismic bags. Like having 1500 pound puppies.
They can jump surprisingly high.
Cotton balls soaked with pure peppermint oil in a GLASS open container. Mice and bugs hate peppermint we use this when we have to put the motorhome up for the winter. It can go in the under storage and some set them on the tires or where a pipe comes in. Also a herbal product called Fresh Cab we use to. It smells good and is safe for all. We have used these items for 4 years now and have had no mice or rat problems. We keep in in the basement storage all year long even when we are camping. Hope this helps. That mouse was lucky you found it. It would not of faired as well with me.
Kamp looks like he's feeling so much better, what a relief that must be. ❤
So funny! Barron: Very gently I threw him with all of my heart. Hee! Hee! Hee!
It is impossible to watch you guys, and not smile at least once. Thank you!
I really love national parc! I live in Canada so they are called Canada Park 😊 i study history and sustainable tourism at university to work for helping preverse those germs of beauty and peace ❤️
The cattle graze on the land, think they pay a fee for that. It helps for fires as the cattle eat helps stop spread.
Thank you both for the videos. Very nice!
In Arizona the cattle really do help by simply eating.
The anniversary of our first date is also July 4th! We are heading out west and hitting up as many national parks as we can in September! I'm so glad you guys are too that way I can get all your tips. Mice in our trailer is the bain of my existence...lol I have to put everything in bins when we park it and make sure no crumb is in it. Even thought I promise we have plugged every hole they will still get in. We are weekend warriors so ours stayed parked in the shed a good bit.
Thank you for sharing your PEACE ✌ with me.
Awesome vid. I love how you two met. Just started in on my 40th year with Linda. Stay true.
Wow!! That's a lot of love
@@ElsaRhae We actually met when she was 16 and I was 19. Gas station outside of Seattle. No interest in girls back then. Kept bumping into her and finally got up the courage to ask her on a date. She had a little boy by then who is now 40 years old. To this very day I look forward to seeing the rise and fall of the sheets to know she is still alive and this being so the rest of the world can take a number.
Love how y'all met!!, I'd say fate bumping into Linda several times, happy you took the hint!! 😊 I live outside of Seattle, my hubby drives Bus there.
40 years
Sounds like you guys met in the early 70’s. I know you are not that old but I am. Most everyone showed their feelings without even a thought. Yes they were good times mostly.😁
So cute and cool how you met! Sounds like my story 30 years ago
I was camping with my honey before the fourth and I think we saw your Scamp near Bad Bear (our fav camping area) Idaho...maybe just coincidence, but we were really happy because we follow you on you tube! You two are full of lots of good information plus we love how you explain your issues and resolutions! Kamp is so cute!
Kamp is so cute! I didn't know dogs were allowed out on the trails in the national parks because of wildlife concerns. I'm glad that he is because hiking and exploring with a dog wish so rewarding!
Felicia Felice they’re not, unfortunately. The hike we did was in national forest, not national park. 👍🏼
Beautiful beautiful spot. And that is a really cute story of how you guys met! 😍🤗
My cats do the same thing.... Won't attack anything in the house 🤣🤣🤣 unless it's a moth... When he said a "bunch of screaming heifers" I was shocked to see they were LITERALLY heifers 😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard!!!!! 💕
Just found your channel and am watching my way through old videos. Dreaming of getting my own Scamp one day! That paint job you did on the shelf door is just stunning!
You three literally bring tears of joy to my eyes
We hit up the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone last year! We loved getting to spend a night at the Grand Tetons but Yellowstone is simply amazing. Be sure to go to the “Boiling River” swimming area in Montana, in the Mammoth area of Yellowstone National Park! Free amazing hot spring that joins with a lovely natural river, it is such a blast to swim in!! Have a wonderful time, and watch out for Bison!
Happy Anniversary to my favorite couple! Miss you guys! Charlie says hi to Camp he said “Hiiii Kitty!Hi Kitty!”
Hiiii little Charlie!!!!!!!!!
Barron had me laughing with those impressions 😂. I love the preservation that National parks offer. I live 30 minutes from the west entrance of Glacier National Park 🌲🏔
Happy Anniversary! Nice to see Kamp healthy. The Northwest is one of my favorite areas to visit, I'm glad a lot of it is National and State park protected. Park Rangers have mostly been considerate and helpful too.
Kamp has been doing well ever since his first allergy shot!! Thanks so much for caring.
Child safety locks for cabinets could work instead of the keys.. Also there's special magnets that are used as locks.. Ive seen it on someone's van build not sure what they're called.
Love the moon phase art on the upper cabinets
Kamp is a total legend!
I found my Elsa wood stickers today at ocean shores, wa ❤️❤️❤️ I bought 3 of them 😎
