- *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!
**Follow Your Dreams*
Thank you for the continuing drama free excellence
Amen to that!
Sorry for the negative vibes while in Las Cruces Brian. We are not all idiots.
I spent a week in Las Cruces a few years ago and met many wonderful people.
Another great hike Brian. I agree about free camping near large populations, if you want to mess a place up, just add too many people. ☮️
I love the fact that you are not in a hurry and you notice the small things. Thanks Brian.
Totally agree about the BLM areas near cities. Crazy to leave portable solar panels out unattended
The other areas to avoid are anything referencing an OHV area or staging area. Not all, but many of the OHV people generally don't give a crap about anything, they leave trash, they will camp right next to you and crank up a generator and not think twice.
(Off-Highway Vehicle) 4-wheelers, side-by-sides etc.
unless of course you like off roading😋
@@AdventureVanMan I carry a dual-sport enduro motorcycle with me and I still avoid those areas like the plague.
I have experienced that here in AZ. Most of them are druggies, not to many brain cells.
Brian, first want to tell you how I enjoy your postings. This one was so extra special that I am not finding adequate words to use to tell you. Thank you so much for recording this hike and allowing this 83 year old to experience it through you ! ! !
Those cactus blooms are awesome, Thanks for sharing.
Brian, you never disappoint. I wish safe and wonderful travels for you and yours.
Love the desert in springtime
There is no substitute for being out in nature far away from major cities and metropolitan areas. Two different worlds. Happy Trails to you.
great little hike in the mountains.Thank You.🤩👍✌
Brian, this video brings you to my area. I live in Las Cruces N.M. I really like dripping springs. Welcome to N.M. Safe travels.
Best Mexican ever!!!!....

Always nice when I see a video post from Brian! Easy choice!
So sad and you really have to protect your property and yourselves... even I'm the Land of Enchantment.
Having spent 4 winters at a federal wildlife refuges in NM ... with an active rail track... we were always made aware to watch for transients... back as far as 2015. But it is a beautiful state. Take care.
You were a little light today have to put my BUDDY my best friend down tomorrow with lots of tears through the homestead.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I totally understand how you feel.
Thats not the rock making the noise its my Rice krispies dude 😁snap,crackel,pop!
I've lived in NM on and off for much of my life, and it is particularly bad regarding trash compared to most other parts of the country I've lived. It's a lot like the real Mexico, and many of the third world countries I've lived. Thanks for the ride along and safe travels heading north. Hope you get to explore the mountains in Northern NM.
Hello Brian , Kelly and Hobbs. Well that sucks that Solar panels were stolen from a neighboring camp site. Personally I would never leave anything out that can be stolen so easily. I honestly would hate to leave any part of my rig behind unattended. More than likely it was not a fellow camper that stole the panels.
Such a shame people don't respect the countryside. Its a problem the world over. Enjoyed the walk and such a nice area to walk through!!
Hey buddy! Another awesome video! I would say that black in the cave is built up soot? I’m just leaving AZ. Finally headed a little northerer myself :) maybe I will see you down the road! Safe travels!
Thanks for sharing. I often pass through Las Cruces, but it's often just a waypoint for a longer trip from Texas to the West Coast. Next time we're in that area, will make a point to visit that spot. BTW, don't blame you for not wanting to bushwack to the mine shaft. Besides the cactus and stickers, rattlesnakes would probably be getting active during this part of the year.
Agree with everything you said regarding public lands near cities. Sad that people destroy their lives and even more sad when they include others in their destructive ways.
If you haven't been there already, Aguirre Springs on the east side of the Organ Mountains is awesome. There are trails leading up from the campground with the peaks towering above. You can stop in there and then continue to White Sands NP for a completely different experience.
Go check out the Catwalk its just outside of Silver City New Mexico.
The Catwalk is absolutely incredible!!
New Mexico Bosque del Apache and the Grand Tetons my happy places.
True vanlifer.."OH wow it's the weekend.." 😂
Great hike
my camp had a thief took chairs cooler small table small bbq in Utah crazy thing was during Elk hunt I had a 357 side arm and my 270 riffle on me as most everybody does during a hunt what the Elk were they thinking?????
Peace
I leave my van unlocked so they will not break the windows to get in. I figure at that point they are committed anyway. So far I have been lucky. Happy travels.
I've camped in this area. It snowed while I was there. At night you can see all of Las Cruces lit up like a Christmas tree
I was taught the cacti with the singular tall bloom is a century plant. It only has the tall stalk once in one hundred years, then the plant dies. It does bloom short blooms but the tall stalk only once every hundred years
That is a different variety in the agave family. These are Yucca. I showed some century plants a few videos back in my 'Camp Mornings, Prarie Dogs, and Grilled Food' video, towards the end of the video.
@@AdventureVanMan thanks for letting me know. I was going for look and didn’t know it was different
I just left that area. Great hiking and camping. Love the adventures that you go on. Truth be told there are a few of you that I have watched for so long and are the inspiration for my current travels. I just pulled into the Ozarks and am going to be hanging out here for a bit. New Mexico was cool but I totally missed the trees of the Midwest.
I just read a book by the title "Modoc." Crazy coincidence! Thanks for another great video!!
The rock formation is La Cueva.....it has camp tables grills and shade also a super nice Pavillion area for big groups.
Its a beautiful area with lots of hiking and sightseeing.
Nature is purely amazing!!! Beautiful!❤ 👍
Hi 🙋🏿♀️
Beautiful. My mom was from Estancia New Mexico. She grew up on a dairy farm. The soot on the ceiling from a fire. Probably indian inhabitants.
Beautiful videography. Love the terrain, spring water from the rock, and foliage. That's terrible the travelers had belongings stolen. Shame. Be well. 🙂👍
Awesome Brian, thanks 👍👍 Take care of yourself and God bless 🙏✌️
Thanks for another bike ride and a hike. I am amazed how strong you mic is to pick up the sound of water! Be safe💜☮
Always informative, chill and wonderful. Thanks B, best 👌 from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Much appreciated Brian! You'll stay safe and take care! Hobbs needs a snack please!
😂
Thank you sir for sharing. Great looking place. Too bad about the theft.
Remember when hiking in New Mexico in most of the state you are hiking at least 5000 feet and much higher in the mountains, it can make for some heavy breathing.
nice flowers. cool rock. (I love rock). thanks
That burger and tatertots looked fantastic. Great vid, thanx.
Very cool! I had family that was raised in Las Cruces. I had no idea it was so beautiful. Thanks for the heads up about the theft stuff!
Next time I'm traveling, I would like to eat at Brian's Bistro, if that is not too much to ask? I can bring the food and share... but I want it cooked and presented like you do it.
Cheeseburger in paradise. Great video.
I didn't know Dripping Springs was near Las Cruces. I took a road trip to Texas and returned on hwy 17 a few years ago. I visited White Sands National Park for the day which is a little ways away from Dripping Springs. There's so much to see in the US. Thanks Brian for taking us along.
There are several places around the country (world?) named Dripping Springs, so maybe you'll come across one of those some day.
Hi everyone, happy Trails y'all !
What a fantastic video. Nice mix of camera work and narration. Thanks for sharing that info at the end. Very inspiring even with the bit of negativity.
Outstanding visual video thank you for bringing us along
I heard the water. That was weird! Great video.
Hello Brian. Another great video. Loved the Hermit. Have you heard of Dick Proenneke? If not great stories with books and documentaries about him. Great reminder on being near a city.
I love Dick's Alaska cabin build,
One hell of a story.
101 thousand subs congrats , brian
Go to the other side of the Organs, where the pay campground is and do that loop hike. That's a good one!
Totally agree about the BLM areas near cities. great little hike in the mountains
These are the sort of videos I like when you do the m. I feel like I’m right there with you. Thanks. 🥰
Liked hearing the water dripping inside the rocks. Never saw something like that. 👍
Just watched your video ,glad to see your still living the life,I related to your Tonapah Nevada trip since I was there myself many years ago,carry on
The true Nomad: What are all these people doing here? Oh yeah, it's the weekend. Oh Look, trash cans and a water spigot, gotta remember that.
Hi Brian, what a fascinating ride through the surrounding area. That rock shelter was amazing. The wild flowers showed the real beauty of the dessert , not to mention the mountains in the background. Lunch also looked great. See you in the next one, God bless , Louise
Great sunset shot. Loved the dripping springs and the way you photographed it.
Cool history and beautiful nature views on this episode. Thanks again and again! ✌️❤️🚐
❤wonderful video I love New Mexico...lived in Taos 7 years Carlsbad 5 year's. Definitely the Land of Enchantment 🙏🏽👌🏽❣💯💯
Brian that was a really good video! I thought the mountains were beautiful! You give us the scenery we would miss out on! It is so sad people have to be afraid to leave camp because they might get stuff stolen.But thank you for reminding us to be careful. You are fortunate to get to enjoy nature as you do! Hope you have peace and tranquility!😊😊😊😊😊😊
In Tombstone on a mine tour, I walked by a black rock area that was silver in its natural form. Guess I would have never been a mineral explorer! That cave you visited prompted that thought.
Another spot with beautiful scenery. I have always been a mountain girl so anytime there are mountains I'm enjoying the view. Thanks for sharing the sound of the water. It sounded like it was just percolating right through the rocks. A lovely sound! I do agree with you about being near larger towns. Not comfortable boondocking in those areas.
When you see a lot of soot on the ceiling of caves and cliff dwellings, it has been utilized as a home for ancestorial natives, and possibly many different peoples over the eons. Some of the smaller well insulated buildings found on cliff dwellings may also have partial soot. They built these as storage areas for corn and other seed. A small fire inside after filling with the food products and then seal the entrance with slab rock and mud. The fire extinguished, soot would cover some of the ceiling (helped preserve the food and perhaps a rodent deterrent) Thought you may find this interesting after seeing the soot on the cave ceiling in your video.
Thank you for visiting and highlighting New Mexico. Beautiful photography. Safe Travels.
Wow what an awesome hike to see all tge beautiful rocks, cliffs, even blooming cactus, thanks so mich for taking us along, love your videos , it is like we are there with you! Happy traveling and be safe!
Rocks!
Stunning beauty there Brian. Thanks for sharing❤
Another great video that makes me want to drop everything and hit the road! Such an amazing area. Thanks for sharing all your adventures...
Great footage today, Brian! Gorgeous scenery! ❤
Enjoy your videos
That is such a beautiful landscape and very different from what I'm used to. Thanks for sharing.
Well done, thank you Brian!
~ Mike ~
Thanks Brian, i never thanked you for the stickers. Away we go, and Fallow your dreams (march2023) love the videos.
I love the desert blooms. Thanks for sharing, Brian. 🙂
Nice nature pics. Shows beauty of desert - lest I think it’s dry nothingness.
Absolutely gorgeous area! Thanks for bringing us along! ☮️❤️☀️
What an awesome tour! Thieves suck!🙏👍😎🇨🇦
Thanks for filming the information and history boards. I love reading those. I'm from that area (Ruidoso Downs). You should visit White Oaks while your so close. Billy The Kid had a girlfriend there and the area has a great history.
That water fall was pretty cool out there and the cave as well. Looked like a really nice hike and ride. Take care have fun
The hike was wonderful and the sunset spectacular. Thank you.
Glad the Airstream didn't disappear along with the solar panels 😕
Thank you for posting this beautiful video and yes, public land close to major towns is just the way you described. Be safe and enjoy your journeys.
This is just another perfect video from you. Thank you Brian for sharing
👋😃👍 Thank you, Brian, I always enjoy your vlogs‼️
Thanks for thinking to put your mic up close to the rocks so we could hear the water in the rocks. That was really cool! Always enjoy your videos!
As a New Mexico resident, I will tell you that there is a Drug and Crime problem here. Lock your stuff up and be aware of your surroundings.... On a different note those Tots looked oh so delicious. Thx Brian. Stay safe.
Thanks for the nice views and hike. Do you think that 4 weeks earlier you would have experienced a strong waterfall?
Always best to secure anything of value. Even leaving items in a tent is not secure.
Having a trail cam or similar is worthwhile. Sometimes just a recording to review is beneficial.
Great hike. Thanks for a peaceful few moments. Peace.
I've never seen terrain quite like that and I enjoyed all the colors of spring. 😁👍
Lovely hike. Beautiful scenery. Thanks
Very beautiful I was in New Mexico back in 2002relly liked it
The video is absolutely crystal clear
Beautiful place.. Saldy when I have vacationed in NM I was stollen from too. Didn’t stop me from returning. I just need to remind myself I am not in my small home town in Michigan & LOCK UP EVERYTHING! Double check it’s locked & NOTHING is even visible in the car. I remember someone even saying “don’t lock your car because they will bust out windows just to see if you have anything in there because it’s locked & then you have to replace windows. I am speaking of rental cars ONLY here. I fly in & rent a car.
