This Camp is Closed - Colorado VanLife
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- In this video I leave my camp at Oliver Reservoir in Bushnell, Nebraska. The free campground I was staying at for the last 9 days was already closed for the season. A local Sheriff stopped by to let me know to move on when I could. I make my way into Colorado. I find a quick place to overnight on the east side in The Rockies. Then I move over to Cucharas Canyon at the Kenner Ranch BLM area near Walsenburg, Colorado. This was a great place to camp and get some solitude and time with the land. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks 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!
**Follow Your Dreams*
Brian you really captured a great synopsis of van life on public land. You are America. You are utilizing what Truman intended us as Americans to use and appreciate !! Great job brother. Safe Travels Amigo !
Are you going to rtr coming up?
I've watched you for years. My family even comments when they hear your intro music. Knowing it's making me smile.
I am sitting in my living room looking out my picture window to the south. Sunrise is blocked by others around me, sunset is blocked around me. And here you are with a 360 view with all you need. My van sits in my driveway haunting me.
I missed sunsets and sunrises when I was back East. So many trees you never get to see the sky!🤣
You should have told the Sheriff “look around it’s cleaner here than when I arrived 8 days ago.”
We had a nice chat. Young guy into fishing and hunting. We actually exchanged numbers and hope to camp out sometime. He’s subscribed to the channel now! 🤣
@@AdventureVanMan That's awesome. Lol.
That closing image of you Brian, at the end of the video, staring into the flames... I know that look. the feeling of contentment, of being alive, there is no alone, just a man and his thoughts!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Brian....Thank you for sharing your journey, you inspire me to seek out adventure but most importantly, you inspire me to be a better human. The world needs more Brians living in a kind, peaceful manner.
That surely is the truth, Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
...the heavens declare the glory of God... Thankful for you, Brian
We fully appreciate you too Brian. It's great to enjoy the great places you discover. Also great to see someone who is at peace with life!
Happy Thanksgiving Brian and everyone watching!
You are an inspiration to many of us Brian, thank you and we live through you vicariously
My wife and I live in our RV and we spent about 5 years just knocking around the Ft Collins/Loveland/Greeley area. LOTS of cool places up there, I love it when a video covers a place I'm familiar with.
Your videos are very relaxing and peaceful...gotta love the Great Plains' open spaces and little towns! Thanks for sharing your travels with us!
What surprised me about Colorado when I first drove through it, was the amount of farmland. Also, having lived there recently, how fast a prarie fire spreads even with so little vegetation
You predicted the coming conflagration. #climatecrisisrefugee
These are my favorite type of videos...day to day boondocking adventures.
Yes Brian a big appreciation to you. Love the gem of spots you find. And also how you don’t make it too obvious where you find em. Happy trails
Happy Thanksgiving to a fellow traveler. Grab some road turkey 🦃
What a wonderful life you have, Brian! You are only missing Kelly!
I love your drone shots, Brian. Looks like you’re the only person left on earth. Beautiful and scary at the same time! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!🦋🦃
Thanks for the adventures all these years Brian.
Thank you so much for sharing you are drawing me a happiness roadmap with your travels. Pretty nice that the Sheriff told you the camp was closed but let you stay anyway. Safe travels Brian
Mother Nature is therapeutic.
The sigh of relief, after you sat down to eat steak said it all. Happy Steak Day Brian.
nothing like a beautiful sunrise - a new day is born - hope all enjoy
Happy Thanksgiving, Brian! We all have much to give thanks for. I thank you for sharing your life so I may live vicariously until I retire in a few years.
Awesome 👍👍. Thanks Brian! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your subscribers and God bless 🙏✌️

I'm a sucker for good sunrises and sunsets.

Wow. I spent my bicycle years in Nebr., and this video was soo good! Thanks for pinpointing some of the local greenery.
You are such a joy to listen to. You have so much gratitude for the simple things. Thank you so much. You encourage me.
I saw this on Thanksgiving day. You are so lucky to be able to do this adventure.
My brother (RIP) was named Brian. He lived in Silverthorne. It's a beautiful place. I want to go there one day. Thanks again for the positive vibes.

Wow amazing sunrise in one place and an amazing sunset in another, van life is amazing!
I just found you on UA-cam Brian. I like your approach concerning public lands and adventure camping. I’ll be checking out your previous videos for sure. Thank you, here’s wishing you a pleasant Thanksgiving.
Thank you so very much for taking us along. It feels as if we are all riding with you. Be safe and blessed!
The sunsets were the most brilliant I've ever seen. For a year, every one was unique and unbelievable
Excellent thank you 👍

The beauty of your moving home is your backyard is always evolving, following the beauty. wow that sky!
Awe inspiring! Would be great to see some shots of star-filled night skies. They are truly one of the great splendors we've lost due to modern life and light pollution. Starry, starry nights. Thank you!
Thank you Brain, I hope your holidays are bright and life is good. Enjoy your videos.
Speechless
"Deep ruts"?!?! You put the ADVENTURE in AdventureVanMan. Thanks for sharing your journey, Brian. HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!
Love that part of the west. The sky’s are amazing. I miss traveling that area. Thanks again for the video!
I loved: “This land is my land, this land is your land…” Awesome video!
Brian, just want to thank you for putting the time into all of these great videos, especially this year. From the beginning down south, up till now in Colorado it has been a pleasure following you around. I was just in San Diego biking around Mission Bay and I saw some vans, thought of you when you would hang down there prior to another liftoff.
Here’s to a great 2022!
Beautiful camp! I love seeing the sunsets and open space. I don't have mountains or open space in my area and it's always great to see. I love traveling and seeing where you go!
You and Ausia are the only two van life folks that doesn't have cancer, dyeing pet or stolen rv in UA-cam. Oh and Bex shes good too. I gotta find new entertainment that dont beg for money. Lol
Skies on fire 🔥 What a great, chill video. Thanks for sharing.
Brian, you tubers come and go but I’ve enjoyed your channel for many years now. I want you to know that YOU were one of my main inspirations for adopting this beautiful nomad life! Each time you get excited for a sunrise or sunset and exclaim how wonderful life is, I nod my head and can relate fully! Thanks for sharing your beautiful adventures. Best to you, and safe travels through the holidays. 💜💕
Thank you Sharon! ✌🏼
Thank you for taking us along on your travels and showing us the beauty available in the US. Happy Thanksgiving!
BLESSINGS..everyday..Glad to see you....much love n peace☺️
Awesome footage and love the ride along. Thank you for your travels as I get to see so much. Hugs to you and Kelly.
Juniper, Cholla and incredible sunsets. LOVE the desert SW/CO and absolutely love that one can park on public land and take it all in for the price of the gas to get there. Happy Thanksgiving Brian.
Your commitment to leave-no-trace is a good reminder to me on the importance of stewardship. As always, I appreciate the work you put into your videos. Thank you. ✌
Beautiful sunrise and sunset
Good morning from Ohio!! Beautiful sunset!! Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃.
Hi Brian, I really admire you, you have such a great attitude about life, very inspiring. Keep up the good work! Safe travels….🦅✌🏼
Getting out to check the soil condition is smart. I jumped out in Kansas and sunk past my ankles in mud! Happy Thanksgiving, American friends! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲💜🇺🇲
A true reflection of your channel name, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Beautiful sunrise, and sunset! I was trying to follow you on a map, and when you first stopped I thought you were in northern Colorado, and couldn't find Walsenburg, little did I expect that you had driven so much further south. I find it fun following on a map to see where you are camping. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Yeah, that's the way it was for me. I spent a lot of time poring over my maps, looking for Walensburg north of Denver. Finally resorted to the index and found it way south of Denver, not far from New Mexico. Great country out there, gorgeous sunsets and rises. Judging from those ruts, I would not want to be there if it starts raining.
Thank you Brian. Thank you Lord!
Happy Thanksgiving day to you and your American listeners
Thank YOU, Brian!
Beautiful as always!
Wow wow wow. What a gooood video! This one gave me goosebumps at the end there for some reason.
“ Life is good.”
Your appreciation for beauty is beautiful, in itself.
Thank you for sharing some of that good life with us, Brian.
✌🏼
Hey Brian... WOW man great ride.... beautiful landscapes ... really enjoyed the drone views... thanks for the video ✌️☀️
It has been a wonderful experience and a great journey...safe travels
Thank you again for showing me such beautiful places that I will probably never see myself. Traveling like you is my dream, but cannot right now. Watching you scratches that itch just enough to keep me sane. Much love ❤️
Thank you for sharing Colorado... you have created a very special channel. I’m happy to be apart of your community.
Wishing YOU & Kelly a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2021 !!!
Thank you Brian peace be with you always, and happy holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving, Brian! I can only imagine what the sky looks like at night out there, cheers!
Beautiful
About 20 yrs ago I did the I-80 from New York City to San Francisco.
Didn't know about those great camp sites you found.
I'll head west from New Orleans on the I-10 to Tucson in January. Another friend in Phoenix and some work in Flagstaff. ' The Grand Canyon State ' here we go.
I enjoy all your videos thanks for them you got the life
I can always count on fantastic videos and superb sceneries. Thanks for making my day! Happy holidays!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
