What did I miss??? When did Kelly get a box truck? Have I been under a rock (I am a rockhound lapidary guy so most likely)? Always good to see you Brian, you are much better than any travel channel since you relate to real people. Peace out to you, Kelly and of course Hobbs.
I love that you are identifying the flora and fauna😊. This is another great video, the music a delight and the scenery is outstanding. Thank you for another great experience. I'm tied down in Michigan this winter, and your videos are a mood elevator for me. Looking forward to your next installment. ☮
I mostly agree with you on the 14 day rule, but also have no issue with bending the rules as needed (too muddy after a rain, too windy on planned travel day, pet not feeling well, etc..). But yes, definitely shouldn't stay beyond your ability to leave no trace. I tend to find the locals far more abusive of the rules than the nomads. Can't tell you how many times I've seen an area full of unoccupied trailers, aka locals reserving their site for the weekends. And household trash dumping is most certainly locals as well.
@@debslifesimplified6406and just maybe that is Brians prerogative...... Reason being, it is for Kelly to discuss, if and when she wishes. Please respect peoples privacy. If you are shown anything, be always thankful. Any video be grateful.
Kelly's new box truck looks great. I see its ex-Hertz. Is it a 12' or 14' (looks bigger than yours). Generally, what do those cost? (range, no personal info) 😉 Thanks
I don’t think I’ve commented on your videos in a long time so now is a good time to say I’ve been following your channel for a long time and I always appreciate you putting yourself out there. I enjoy all your vids and wish you (and Kelly)all the best. Keep up the great work!
There are some places (like the Utah side of Flaming Gorge) with 16-day camping limits. So what happens is locals come up on a weekend, leave their unoccupied trailers in prime camping spots during the work week, then come back for the following weekend. That sucks for the rest of us.
This couldn't have came at a better time. Thx for always being there when I'm feeling down!!! I wish you knew how much you help! God bless you and Kellie ❤🐾🐾❤😊 That scrub oak looks like holly¡ Beautiful campsite 😮😮
Thank you so much for another video Brian. That area is just beautiful. And yes, remembering those who once made it their home. We have the same issues at times in NZ Brian re rubbish etc.. Not that we have the huge spaces to camp that you have there. We are so so tiny in comparison. You are an awesome example of how every traveler should be. Respectful and caring of your surroundings and everybody within it.. Much love to Kelly, yourself and gorgeous Hobbs, from across the miles Brian 💌🙋♀️🚐🌏🧭🗺
Brian, Thank you for reminding people to follow the rules. You're not preaching. You're being a good steward of the land. The rangers have been stepping up patrols and closing more areas off because of people abusing the land.It's sad to see. I was at Quartzsite camping by Dome Rock in January and witnessed it first hand. People cutting down trees to burn, dumping trash, and tanks. One guy told me he didnt move for the whole winter. It was "his spot".
Thanks for the vids Brian, question for you, Have you had many issues with your dog and snake encounters while ur hiking or just letting him roam around in Arizona and New Mexico? Many thanks!!
We just recused the dog so this will be the first season. Typically don't see snakes till around April. The dog is old, doesn't go on hikes or roam around.
The scenery is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!. I can't wait to spend 2 weeks in each location. Your videos are among the BEST . Keep it up please ❤ from 🇨🇦
So nice to see people are happy that Kelly has a new truck. However, she lost her Mom recently and is still dealing with that loss. Just give her the time and space she needs for that. I am sure she will address it on her channel when she is ready. The loss of your Mother is devastating and there's no time line on grief. Right now at this time of the year , it's particularly difficult. Just be try to be patient , give her space and respect her privacy. She won't let you down. She needs hugzz and support ...Unsolicited advice from an old granny.❤
I feel refreshed just spending a few minutes riding through the wilderness. Thank you so much for your care for the land, and for humans. Hi, Kelly! ✌️❤️🚐
Good show. I totally agree with you on camping limits on public land and I'm glad you encourage being respectful to the places we camp so others can enjoy it for years come. Peace to you too brother.
Hey bud I totally agree with you about the 14-day stay on BLM land. That looks like a beautiful spot I think I've been there before just under 2 hours from where I live in NV. Stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🌲🎊
Thanks for sharing your story. That is beautiful country. Glad you get to go out there and see it and share it with everybody. Enjoy your camping and your day.
Man Brian, you are such an inspiration! I been watching your videos since 2017, I got my first van in 2020, been living in my van for almost 4 years now and every time I need some motivation you are the guy! Sometimes I don’t watch new videos right away so I can binge a couple later, I just love them. I am such a homebody and I also get so much social anxiety, so I spend a lot of my time at home being crafty. We haven’t been able to leave MA because we are afraid of the “what if” on the road, so we been doing vanlife in MA for now (not the best place for van life though). I know what you mean on one of your videos, I also make content and edit them and sometimes even upload them but never make them public because I don’t feel that people would like it or find it interesting or that I didn’t edit or record that much. But finding people that will still push themselves to do it, inspires me to do it too! Thank you for making content, I honestly am happy that I found this channel back then, so helpful. Wish you guys the best of luck, a great year of new memories to come! Take care you guys!
Once again Brian, an amazing park up, perfect location, perfect weather, great company. I'm looking forward to hearing all about Kelly's new van, it'll be interesting to hear how it compares to the Transit. Messy campers have ruined park up place here in the UK, van dwellers (full time or part time) are losing good free spots by the day, due to inconsiderate folks. I could go on further but it could take a while. Stay safe, best wishes to Kelly and Hobbes 😊
Hi Brian, what a beautiful area. The landscape is so inviting. Yes, the area would provoke thoughts of the people that came to make a new home there. I can only imagine there challenges. The history would be so interesting to take a look at. Enjoy your stay as you feed and nourish your soul. What a special opportunity to be there. I'm sure the stars above have awesome stories to tell. God bless you three, Hugs, Louise
Hey, Brian! Karl in Tucson here. I enjoy your videos! I don't know if you are aware, or even if they check, but there is actually a $15 fee to camp on state trust land. $15 for the year. I get a new pass every year, but have never been asked to present it. Just some local knowledge for ya'! Peace
Thank you for another great video. I really appreciated your passion shining thru the lens, showing your love for the land. Beautiful. Keep taking risks on showing us and telling us what is important to you, it’s one of your gifts. Wishing you, Kelly and Hobbs a Merry Christmas and safe travels. 🕊️😎🏜️
What a beautiful landscape. Brian, thank you for another wonderful video. Love the music. Thank you for the friendly reminder about the 14 day limit and the pack it in/ pack it out. ✌️
Hey Brian nice video!! I just left that area golden valley visiting my mother. Well said pack it in pack it out respect goes a long way. Safe travels 🦅
Great to see you both out doing van life .Love your videos well is kind church for me for a lack of better word. thank you for keeping us grounded . Big hugs from MN
I Totally Agree with You! Bring it in respect it and Take it out with you and maybe clean it up a bit, Chow, Thanks again and Thumbs Up! Hey Kelly and not forgetting the new trooper Hobbs...
You look happy, cool video, thanks for sharing, looks like your chilled out, me to watching it. Merry Christmas, to you Kelly and Hobbs. And away we go
I'm playing catch up on some of your most recent videos and yes I enjoyed Arizona as well. In 2019 I was north of Phonex and stopped at Camp Verde off of I-17 and notice I'd lost my Licence plate off the back of my cargo carrier. I contacted the Oklahoma Dept of Licensing and had one sent to Camp Verde post office, I stayed out at the Coconino National Forest just north of Camp Verde for a week and a half till the new plate arrived and then headed north to Washington State. Stay safe and as always, "Enjoy The Adventure" 🤠👍✌
Hello, friend. Like you, I love the landscape and topography. Just spent a week south and east of you in the Chiricahua Mountains area. Interesting history of Cochise and the Apache in the area and the clash of cultures. If you ever head down that way, you may want to read the Wrath of Cochise, and visit Ft. Bowie. Keep on keep’n on. 😂
BTW , Brian...you videos are really awesome. I look forward to everyone of them. They are very professional. To old to travel now, so I would never experience our country's beauty otherwise. Sending you and Kelly hugzz . 😊
Been awhile since catching up with your video, I've learned much from you. I was suprised to see you have a trailer now (i need to backtrack to when and why you got it🙂) Just wanted to say i recently purchased an electric All-Wheel-Drive utility scooter called an UBCO (New Zealand made). Man I'm really loving this thing and now trying to sell a couple of my Adv gas bikes. The UBCO has a 3.1 kw battery in it and only weighs 150lbs (with battery) and as i already stated it's AWD with 2 hub motors. It's a street legal scooter (no pedals) and classified as under 50cc. I'm still keeping my smaller dirt bike but i can't stop riding this UBCO and hikers just smile and wave when I'm on the trail with them. I also unintentionally sneak up on small critters which is pretty funny LOL.
I agree 100% Brian, we need to respect the rules. The only reason we have all these rules in society is because there are a handful of !@#$%^&***** People that don't care and then everyone pays the price. It is what it is. these rules imposed on public lands are really easy to follow and common sense. we need these rules to keep these freedoms open us now and the future. On you channel Brian you are preaching to the Choir, lol. Cheers.
We should all be way more respectful of the public lands... It doesn't take long for a few bad apples to ruin it for everyone. Try to hold people accountable and be vocal about respectful camping/land use. Idc if the inside of your camper is a hoarder nightmare as long as you don't leave the campsite looking like your personal dumping ground.
Thank you Brian for your advocacy of following the rules. I too love public lands and enjoy them regularly and hope we can continue to for years to come.
Thanks for mentioning the 14 day limit for camping on public land and the importance of practicing "leave no trace." Those of us who make it a habit to clean up trash left behind by others get disgusted with the abuse of our public spaces. Take care Brian & thanks for the video !
I lived in Arizona when I was very young and had a motorcycle like yours. I was too wild back then to really enjoy the scenery. Great place to be in the winter.
I agreed 100%, if we just care for the Nature everybody Will see How beautiful it is, it was made for us to enjoy not to destroy, just a Little bit of respect and discipline is All we need to do and it’s free does’nt cost a thing to be just that, we’re All grown up and let’s be the role model for the Young ones
You're not preaching Brian. Just stating a fact. I've noticed more trash left behind this last year. I'm in a van but I still try to take out a little that was left behind by others. 😉
i used to live around the corner from there and i can’t figure out exactly where that camp is lol. i certainly recognized the road when you were on your bike though. yeah that mountain is covered in snow much of jan-feb. i like to think most respect the rules but like with many things there’s a few bad apples spoiling it for the rest of us. away we go!
Hey, Brian! I'm looking to travel down south this winter from Montana. Right now, Montana is really dry and warm. I actually went out riding electric scooters tonight. I'm looking to travel to somewhere warm for about a week, probably not in my bus or van, but I want to enjoy the warmer weather for the first time and see some other states by renting an SUV on Turo and buy some cheap supplies ill donate when I'm done. I have some back problems, but I would like to do some walking and enjoy some beautiful spots like that or some cool areas I could easily walk. If you, or anyone else, has some recommendations, I'd love to check them out. Never been to New Mexico, or Arizona. My aunt has a trailer they're planning to sell in Las Cruces and aren't heading there this year due to health. I was hoping to go around with them, so I don't have plans anymore.
Hope to meet you & Kelly someday. Great video -loved the music as well. Hello to Kelly & do we get to see her new rig? Please..❌⭕❌⭕,Iris & Little One 👋🐾
Another thought....What if the rangers checked you in at the campsite. Take pictures of the site. Then they they check you out after 14 days . Again taking pictures. If you leave early and leave a mess then you are sent a fine in the mail. Just a thought.
It's been 50yrs since we saw the commercial with the tearful Indian. When will these knuckleheads learn that if they leave a mess, these lands will be closed to us and future campers?
Brian, your deep love for the land is very evident when you talk about those landscapes, and like you, I hope all show respect at least and don’t leave a messy footprint.
What did I miss??? When did Kelly get a box truck? Have I been under a rock (I am a rockhound lapidary guy so most likely)? Always good to see you Brian, you are much better than any travel channel since you relate to real people. Peace out to you, Kelly and of course Hobbs.
You didn't miss anything. She hasn't made any videos for a while.😊
But when exactly did Kelly get a box truck? I try to never miss these videos, which I've followed for years. Enjoy you much.
Thank you, I thought I missed it too.
So sorry that you will not be at Quartzsite hopefully you will change. Really appreciate seeing you two.Love Jc Merry Christmas.
Had the same thought regarding Kel's new rig and ditto on your comments. Stay vertical bro
This video implies you are feeling better and that makes me happy. As always, your videos improves the day of your viewers.
Does Kelly have a new rig? (she had a Ford Transit)
yes, this is a Ford E-350.
@@AdventureVanMan When did she change the rig? Was there/will be any video about the change?
I think in July. You can subscribe to her channel... Wild Wanderland. She will probably post something about it when she is up for it.
Another great camping spot! You are absolutely right, if we don’t keep public lands clean then we will lose them. Thanks Brain ☮️
@stevekunz6573, I agree with you. Keep BLM, as well as National and State Parks clean or we will lose access to them.
I love that you are identifying the flora and fauna😊. This is another great video, the music a delight and the scenery is outstanding. Thank you for another great experience. I'm tied down in Michigan this winter, and your videos are a mood elevator for me. Looking forward to your next installment. ☮

Did Kelly get a different camper. If so maybe one day you can give us a tour of it.
I asked the same question with no response. Brian actually showed it today at least the outside of it.
@debslifesimplified6406 Not everyone wants their personal space on the internet. 😊✌🏼
@@AdventureVanMan Okay. But tell her congratulations on the new ride from me.

That is extremely inconsiderate. People sometimes are actually horrible. It's very sad.
Trailer squatting.....its becoming epidemic in some areas. Hunters are the worst.
@@BlackBuzzzard It's horrible in the Big Horn Mountains.
Great video Brian! I agree with everything you said about the 14 day rule. He’s wishing you guys happy holidays and safe travels.
This couldn't have came at a better time. Thx for always being there when I'm feeling down!!! I wish you knew how much you help! God bless you and Kellie ❤🐾🐾❤😊

Do you guys do any star gazing when you are out there? Have a thought about a telescope, camera setup? That sounds like a lot of fun to me.
yes, i did get some mega zoom shoots of the full moon in my previous video.
Good to see you Brian and Kelly, I’m with ya on the 14 days ☮️😊
As long as the 14 days start, when the first stranger discovers you're out there. (Joking)

Beautiful 😍👍
Next time you back in your hometown stop by and say hi! Maybe you want to upgrade the suspension on your box van, check out all the products we offer.
Wow! So Beautiful. Putting that area on the list. Thanks for another great video and reminder to play by the rules.
Your videos are the only ones worth watching. The others seem so "commercial" . You have stayed real and I appreciate it. Thank you, Brian.

Hey, Brian! Karl in Tucson here. I enjoy your videos! I don't know if you are aware, or even if they check, but there is actually a $15 fee to camp on state trust land. $15 for the year. I get a new pass every year, but have never been asked to present it. Just some local knowledge for ya'! Peace
Yes, I am not camped on trust land, although I do have a permit that is still good from last spring.
HEY! Hello Brain and Kelly! Thumbs UP!!
Thank you for another great video. I really appreciated your passion shining thru the lens, showing your love for the land. Beautiful.

What a beautiful landscape. Brian, thank you for another wonderful video. Love the music. Thank you for the friendly reminder about the 14 day limit and the pack it in/ pack it out. ✌️
What a nice, peaceful, scenic video! Thanks for identifying the vegetation.
Great video !
I found myself watching it and my feet tapping to the music. Love it.
Thanks for all the information really appreciate it
20,000 years ago that landscape was lush, green ,fertile, with food and water. .
or covered in ice.
Nice to see another good vid 👏
Beautiful, love the history lesson, and YES!,RESPECT OUR LAND...OR LOOSE IT!. Yay Kelly😂✌️🐕🚚
great video brian, loved the fiddle tunes and the psa :)
Brian, do you have much thought on pros and cons of a box truck like yours or a Promaster van?
sorry I'm not familiar with the Promaster vans.
Hey Brian nice video!! I just left that area golden valley visiting my mother. Well said pack it in pack it out respect goes a long way. Safe travels 🦅
I agree 14 days is long enough to be in one spot. Please clean up after yourself. We all want to keep public lands open for our use and beautiful.
Brian this video was AWESOME. The only thing missing was the cooking segment . 😜
Great to see you both out doing van life .Love your videos well is kind church for me for a lack of better word. thank you for keeping us grounded . Big hugs from MN
When did Kelly get a box truck
july
Beautiful landscape and your videography displayed it to perfection, thank you.
In my experience, it's the weekend warriors who trash the place, especially the OHV crowd.
Another great relaxing video with some great scenery. Happy Holidays to you and Kelly. Safe travels 😊
Hi 🙋🏿♀️

With so many wildfires across the country, I can see the Trust having the dead branches and brush cleared away.
Great camp. Thoughtful PA.
Awesome vid! Beautiful!! I agree 100%. The rules were not meant to be broken.
Good one! Respect the 2 week stay. My sister said, "Fish stink after three days." Two weeks is plenty of time in one spot. ---VTown Paddy Patrick

Ok, i know i am slow, but did you get a new box truck and Kellie is driving yours???? Sorry for asking an obvious stupid question

Hey, Brian! I'm looking to travel down south this winter from Montana. Right now, Montana is really dry and warm. I actually went out riding electric scooters tonight. I'm looking to travel to somewhere warm for about a week, probably not in my bus or van, but I want to enjoy the warmer weather for the first time and see some other states by renting an SUV on Turo and buy some cheap supplies ill donate when I'm done. I have some back problems, but I would like to do some walking and enjoy some beautiful spots like that or some cool areas I could easily walk. If you, or anyone else, has some recommendations, I'd love to check them out. Never been to New Mexico, or Arizona. My aunt has a trailer they're planning to sell in Las Cruces and aren't heading there this year due to health. I was hoping to go around with them, so I don't have plans anymore.
Can’t wait for the update on Kelly’s new rig!!! 😉😀
Well said. Too many abuse the gift of having public land to enjoy
Such pretty country but i allways get the impression theres a mtn lion near by for some reason, LOL!
Hope to meet you & Kelly someday. Great video -loved the music as well. Hello to Kelly & do we get to see her new rig? Please..❌⭕❌⭕,Iris & Little One 👋🐾
Another thought....What if the rangers checked you in at the campsite. Take pictures of the site. Then they they check you out after 14 days . Again taking pictures. If you leave early and leave a mess then you are sent a fine in the mail. Just a thought.
Another great video today
Yes, after two weeks it seems to have more potential to begin looking like a trashy homeless camp. Stop it before it can get started.
I agree with your thoughts on the 14 day rule. If someone stay too long in one place, they do make an impact it appears.
Looks loke your friend has also switched to a small box van.
It's been 50yrs since we saw the commercial with the tearful Indian. When will these knuckleheads learn that if they leave a mess, these lands will be closed to us and future campers?
Brian, your deep love for the land is very evident when you talk about those landscapes, and like you, I hope all show respect at least and don’t leave a messy footprint.
Might be a silly question but how do you go about your number 2 business in these remote places?
Thank you for adding NAMES to the different trees and bushes. I enjoy learning their names.
Brian, you’re a good dude. Have a great holiday - safe travels!
