    I do love your cooking, as long as you use meat. 😊
    And...I dearly love being with you on your journeys.
    I'm a 74-year-old widow who used to do all the things you're doing, but I can barely walk with a walker anymore.
    Your videos take me back to those happy days with my husband, Ron, when we were your age and older.
    He died at 55, after we had a wonderful 30 years together, in all kinds of natural settings.
    Thank you soooo much for helping me escape my sedate life. My mind is still strong, with a 143 IQ, but my body is giving up.
    With you, on your journeys, I can really "live" again.

    Yes, earplugs are amazing to cancel out noises, especially the noise someone makes breaking into your RV..

    One of the tricks I learned in the Texas snowpacolypse last year was to use a spray bottle to rinse dishes. Use a soapy sponge to wash and then rinse it with a spray bottle. It conserves much more water.

      Yup. I use water/vinegar mix. Or water/ hydrogen peroxide. Spray everything then wipe with paper towel.

      This is an MVR in my not so humble opinion! (MVR = Most Valuable Reply).
      Here is another- do not start a campfire when there is a danger of wildfire! And, every day that you camp, start that day with a prayer of thanks for those who fight fires for us. God bless them all. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

    Loved the 80's music at the beginning. I'm 54 so the late 80's was my prime. Its been down hill since then. I'm prepping a truck camper myself right now. I'll be heading out on the road full time in a few months. Maybe I'll see you out there.

    When you are boiling noodles of any kind. When they are boiling lay a wooden spatula or a pair of wood chopsticks across the top of boiling pan. The noodles won’t boil over. Try it! It really works!

    Cast iron hot tip that will be a game-changer: Get a chain mail bottle washer/scrubber from Amazon and it’ll take anything off in seconds! You can reuse it forever, so it’s sustainable too.
    Also, I’m sure someone else will mention this but most places don’t allow you to move firewood from place to place for a reason. Invasive bugs can hitchhike and infect/kill the trees where you’re staying. We neeeeed the treeeees, bro! 🌲💚

    I started using earplugs about a year ago because of my husband snoring and dogs barking in our town all night long. I sleep really good. I don't like the fact that if there was a fire or something I may not hear it but I do think I'd hear the smoke alarms even with the earplugs in. They are pretty loud. Great video Jonathan 👍☺️‼️

    Looks like you need to season your cast iron more. Add some high heat oil and burn it off (white smoke) do that 3-5 times and don’t wash it with soap and that sticking is gone. I cooked a New York Steak tonight and wiped the pan out with a paper towel because nothing stuck.

    The two-egg bagel sandwich is a staple around this house too! Check out the Inner Basin Trail (in the "bowl" of the San Francisco Peaks) while you're up there. Road's a little steep but you should make it up just fine. Cool camping up there too, it's Arizona's oldest (and one of only a few) aspen groves. Drive safe brother!

    When I was a van lifer- earplugs worked great for me-
    Where was that camp spot in the pines? Near Flag?
    A 250 dirt Ike is all most people need- you can find them relatively cheap- or score a mountain bike- great way to check out the area while your rig stays put.
    Stay around Az , Sedona- is cool. Dispersed camping out of town towards cottonwood.
    Prescott is worth the time also. Camping out of town- in the forest.
    Brew houses and great hiking in the Dells.

    You can get a 50cc Honda Ruckus or Honda Trail 125 and a hitch carrier. Both are auto type shifting and would serve you well. No motorcycle license required for 50cc Ruckus. Great for small "go get this, go get that" trips.
