I’ve come to realize that the West blows my mind, but the East warms my soul. If that makes sense. I grew up in the East. I’m an Eastern woodland creature. I wish more you tubers would spend more time over here. Thanks, Brian. Great short film.
What a great saying and I know exactly what you mean. Hubs and I live in NJ (I'm originally from central rural PA) but are currently traveling through the western states and we have noted a similar sentiment. Many things out here are so spectacular and jaw-dropping that it's almost an assault on your senses. The forests and hills of the east are understated yet soothing and calming.
Dolly Sods, Spruce Knob & Spruce Knob Lake and Seneca Rocks in West Virginia is fantastic, too. Thanks for taking us along in the green hills. Blessings Abound.
Hi Brian hi Kelly Brian it's nice just to see you standing up straight cooking and eating and enjoying life. The Appalachian Trail section hikes are a lot of fun.
Great video again. I really like that you leave the nature noises in without music. Nice to have Kelly in this one too. I would just once love to see you taste your food, make a disgusted face and spit it out - it can't ALWAYS be good, can it? 😁 Now, of course, I'm hungry again.
Wow! How beautiful!! Was on Skyline Drive once at 12 yrs old with my family. Don’t remember a thing about it except my dad did not like the decent, down to Luray, VA. Glad to see your face Kelly!
So glad that you and Kelly found each other. Great couple Again, thanks for sharing all your beautiful views, flowers, waterfalls... God bless and safe travels.
I absolutely LOVE the Blue Ridge parkway! Grew up in NJ, now in the Ozarks instead of the Poconos (poconos gotten bad with crime). Love your back country hikes exploring threw your views. Older fat disabled woman now, knees are about to give up, so im happy to see your adventures that my knees say HELL NO too. BLESS You and Kelly ;)
Great to see you in my backyard! In my backpacking youth, we always tended toward the Blue Ridge side of the AT in Virginia because we could have campfires, and that was really important to us back then. Today I could probably deal better with the restrictions. Priorities change. BTW I've been told our Virginia "hills" were taller, in their youth, than your West Coast "mountains" ever were. Thousands of years of erosion have softened them a bit, but I still love them. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite aunt is from Virginia. I enjoy watching your channel, I've been watching for quite awhile. Must be nice now you can stand up in your van and cook or whatnot. Take care 🤙
Beautiful country back there wow you’re so lucky. Brian on my 62 birthday I made a B line to Yosemite National Park to get my America beautiful card, back then for seniors it was only $10 for lifetime and now it’s $80 for seniors for lifetime. At $80 if you use it is still a good deal per year and if you are a senior the pass is good for life. I remember I couldn’t wait to turn 62 just so I could get that pass for $10 it wasn’t long after I bought it that they raise the price to $80.... enjoy the beautiful back country and travel safe.👍🏻😊
@@RonInAVan I learned that from my twin brother whom got one free because the park ranger saw him using sign language to communicate with his deaf wife, he is not really disabled.
Awesome place to go for a hike and do an over nighter. My favorites are the water falls. I always enjoy your cooking. Question where did you get that pressure cooker. Love that thing. Great looking meal. Thank you so much Brian and say Hi to Kelley. Safe travels!
Gorgeous views. Your camper box truck turned out just awesome. So glad you and Kellie can travel together so often...always fun to share the experience. Thanks for making these videos.
Great hike Love the Appalachian mountains, you guys look like your loving life, I sure am loving your videos Brian, an Kelly, thanks for taking me back and sharing your joy of life
I love how you scold people for littering & thank you for picking up after them. My beloved cousin & her boyfriend live in Waynesboro-thank you for showing me around. When my honey (mechanic) was alive-we traveled in a class C. I loved going to the laundromat-strip the bed sheets/etc wash/dry& put them back on the bed 👍 Groceries from store to frig 👍 May God bless you & Kelly 👋 🙏🌎✌💞
First off, thank you 🙏🏻 for being such a considerate person and always picking up debris left behind by others!! Secondly, thank you sharing this gorgeous adventure 🌄 It's now on our growing list of must-sees! Hello to Kelly, and safe travels..... PeAcE!
You guys are definitely in your element hiking there. Both looking pretty darn happy together. What a beautiful area. Love the wildflowers. Needed that great dinner after that hike. 😊👍
Enjoyed your video! Haven't watched one in a while. Sometimes I feel a little guilty cuz I don't watch a lot of UA-cam videos, but I guess I have an interesting enough life I don't need them. Not trying to be disrespectful. Enjoyed the video and have a great day!
I stayed at Loft Mountain Campground just a few years ago. Although I didn't hike the complete circle of the trail as you two did, I only went down to the lower falls, sat on a rock & had lunch. B--- E--- A--- *UTIFUL* hike! And the water was nice & cold there! It was absolutely worth your time there, am I right? And Skyline Drive's views...WHEW!! What a sight!
I'm going to get one of those GSI pressure cookers. Just looked it up and it's a litre bigger than my little Hawkins. I need that for whole meals when camping. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Shenandoah National Park is beautiful and a favorite of mine. Big Meadows campgrounds is very popular and a short walk from camp is the Lodge and the pub for a drink and some Bluegrass music. Enjoying watching your videos
It was so nice hiking with you guys again!! It's the only way I hike ;) lol Thank you for sharing the beauty and the delicious looking meal!! Hi Kelly!! Safe travels you two :)
Hi y'all ! Beautiful scenery, even if the mountains are shorter I think they are prettier than out west, we have more trees and green grass, my idea of beautiful. I'm in Tennessee now, enjoying the scenery and nice weather. Happy Trails to all our nomad friends !!
YES! I love this. I'm from east coast VA and I am building out my van home to travel and work in film/TV this year.. I am so psyched! Thank you for a great video!
Thanks for talking more about your baby box van & your reasons for choosing it vs living in a regular RV. Like you, I like to build my own rigs. I want it WELL BUILT & only what I need out on the road or back country. Conventional campers don't fit the bill. Well done vid. You have the secret to a happy life figured out 🚚........
Beautiful! I am a NW native and West coast girl, but have been enjoying your videos of east coast travel, might convince me to travel there! I never seem to make east of the Midwest......then the snakes didn't help! Lol. But sure enjoy having Kelly in the videos!
Kelly is so adorable especially when she said cappuccino! My favorite too. Such great partners going on adventures together. Life is so short. Enjoy it to the fullest. The view you captured in the wilderness is beautiful. Another great video.
I would think if you are hiking you should know the concept of pack it in pack it out. Nice of you to bring it out. Looked like a beautiful hike. Take care.
Freedom and good food! Thats what I'm talking bout. God Bless America.
I’ve come to realize that the West blows my mind, but the East warms my soul. If that makes sense. I grew up in the East. I’m an Eastern woodland creature. I wish more you tubers would spend more time over here. Thanks, Brian. Great short film.

You are a lucky guy to have Kelly as a girlfriend, since she enjoys doing all the things that you like to do. Great traveling partner.
Love Kelly - “We need some leveling jacks,” “Did you make those little hearts in my coffee?” Love it. 🤣❤️
She won me over on the hearts in my coffee :)
Dolly Sods, Spruce Knob & Spruce Knob Lake and Seneca Rocks in West Virginia is fantastic, too. Thanks for taking us along in the green hills. Blessings Abound.
Hi Brian hi Kelly Brian it's nice just to see you standing up straight cooking and eating and enjoying life. The Appalachian Trail section hikes are a lot of fun.
Thanks Mark! ✌🏼
I always find your videos inspiring for some reason. Maybe it's just your demeanor of calmness 👍
You and Kelly are great together in your videos.. Well shot and edited ..thanks for the upload
Welcome to my neighborhood. I love living in the Shenandoah Valley and playing in the Blue Ridges that surround.
Was literally at that trail this weekend. Great area. It's our once a year trip. Love Shenandoah area.
I feel like I say this a lot, but it’s from the heart: thanks for bringing us along!
Brian, love the intro, Indian flute is so calming. Thx
Nothing good happens on Monday except for a video from adventurevanman
😊
What ! No ‘ heart patterns ‘ in the camp coffee 🤠 LOL
Very cool camera work on the hike. That meal was making me hungry. Love how you just wing it and it turns out great.
Great video again. I really like that you leave the nature noises in without music. Nice to have Kelly in this one too. I would just once love to see you taste your food, make a disgusted face and spit it out - it can't ALWAYS be good, can it? 😁 Now, of course, I'm hungry again.
What stood out was Kelly smile and that braided tree. Nice hike.
Thanks again for great video of the outdoors. Appreciate ya'll.
Beautiful GREEN everywhere 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳✌️
So nice to see you again. Enjoyed your video with my morning coffee. That was a beautiful hike. Ty for sharing.
Wow! How beautiful!! Was on Skyline Drive once at 12 yrs old with my family. Don’t remember a thing about it except my dad did not like the decent, down to Luray, VA. Glad to see your face Kelly!
Kelly really adds to your videos. I really enjoy all your videos, keep up the good work and keep getting more of Kelly in them.
Thanks for taking us along. Next project tent leveling jacks 😂 and practice making those little hearts for Kellys coffee 😊 Peace.
Great editing Brian. Always look forward to seeing how you guys are doing...
Beautiful hiking and camping spot. I bet that does feel good seeing the truck after a long day of hiking. The food looked so good too! Thanks! 😀
So glad that you and Kelly found each other. Great couple
Again, thanks for sharing all your beautiful views, flowers, waterfalls...
God bless and safe travels.

Thanks for the "Live Post Card" (scenery). 😊😊
Awesome place, great video too...you two take care and enjoy life....waiting for next video

I got my lifetime pass at 62 at mammoth cave, paid for itself. I wish I'd known they were free if you are disabled.
@@gregpeterman1102 wow!! I did not know that, I will pass on that information. Thanks
@@RonInAVan I learned that from my twin brother whom got one free because the park ranger saw him using sign language to communicate with his deaf wife, he is not really disabled.
Love the five books on your shelf -- the four field guides and the map of the galaxy. Nice.
Enjoyed "our" hike & wonderful meal, thank you❗👍😇
Awesome place to go for a hike and do an over nighter. My favorites are the water falls. I always enjoy your cooking. Question where did you get that pressure cooker. Love that thing. Great looking meal. Thank you so much Brian and say Hi to Kelley. Safe travels!
That’s Kelly’s pressure cooker. The brand is GSI. Their website should have more info on it.
Gorgeous views. Your camper box truck turned out just awesome. So glad you and Kellie can travel together so often...always fun to share the experience. Thanks for making these videos.

I don't understand why people leave their trash. The idoits will throw the trash on the ground and walk past a trash can as they walk to the car.☹

My old stomping grounds. As a Virginia girl, it is my happy place.
Beautiful! I am a NW native and West coast girl, but have been enjoying your videos of east coast travel, might convince me to travel there! I never seem to make east of the Midwest......then the snakes didn't help! Lol. But sure enjoy having Kelly in the videos!
Love the flowers along the way, more please
Wonderful video!
You and Kelly are the best! 💕
Love how you continue to evolve the cooking parts of the videos!
Great video 👍 Beautiful hike. Thanks for taking us along😎

Important for me to have morning coffee ☕ yay , lol a cracked up when Kelly said no tip . Beautiful scenery!!
Thanks for the video Brian! Enjoying the travels through areas I’m familiar with and have never seen.
Beautiful country.
The adventure continues.
I would think if you are hiking you should know the concept of pack it in pack it out. Nice of you to bring it out. Looked like a beautiful hike. Take care.
Wow. That confidence around snakes is something I’ll NEVER have
That was a real nice video and it was nice to see Kelly ! Safe travels to you two .
Great looking healthy meal. Really enjoying you being east of the Mississippi
Grew up in the country. You described perfectly why cabins are almost always rustic.
