    You have a driver's license in one state but you can drive nationwide. You register your vehicle in one state and can drive it nationwide. Why not the same thing when fishing? Makes perfect sense to me! : )

    • @timmytheimpaler
      @timmytheimpaler 5 років тому +2

      Not to mention gun carry permits. Should be nationwide like marriage, driver's license, etc.

    nice video, great campground. I agree a national fishing license should be part of a National Park pass.

      Where is there good fishing anymore in a NP...?...I'm in the west ,where parks are over-crowded and no plants for years...read the 50's & 60's had good fishin back in the day ... Anyway a National Forest all state fishing license would probably be priced at $1200 or more ...you and Jax rock Eric..!!

    The lady who warned you about checking Jax for ticks, in general, is quite right... BUT, she didn't mention to look for deer ticks and don't just check Jax, check yourself too. Deer ticks are much smaller (about the size of the head of a straight pin) than your regular dog tick and they carry Lyme Disease.

    • @blakesteen7564

      Watch out for chiggers too. Not as bad as Lyme carrying deer ticks but still annoying as hell. You'll want to scratch your skin off.

    New Jersey is the Garden State, and it truly is beautiful (with the exception of some of the near-NYC areas). When I was attending graduate school, I moved to Summit, New Jersey and used the trains to commute into Manhattan. The Fall colors out there in NJ were always spectacular, especially in the nearby Watchung Reservation Trails.

    Eric, just wanted to say that I have been watching your videos for about 2 years down here in New Zealand. You have been one of my inspirations and I have built my own RV from a retired School Bus for my family and we move in in 3 weeks!! You also inspired me to start a UA-cam channel which I have filmed my build and will film our lives as we live and travel in the RV, and it's doing well so far. Maybe you'll get a chance to check it out :-) Thanks man.

    You should be able to purchase a fishing license for any state online. Just google the state you are in, and "fishing license". Many offer a 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, or annual license. Some require you to print off the license and carry it on your person. Some allow you to keep a .pdf of the license on your smart phone. License fees go towards fisheries management/conservation and facilities for fishermen in each state, thus a national license is not practical.

By comparison, the other RV'ers I watch are producing videos that look like something I'd make. :( Relax and spend more time in each place though! Keep up the good work, Eric.

    Hey Eric. I posted a comment about a year ago that you should consider installing a battery isolator. The battery isolator will charge the starting battery first then the solar batteries. The isolator sells for between $50 to $150 depending on quality and features. One hour of driving will give you more juice for your solar batteries than a whole day of solar panels.

  • @MIdaffy502
    @MIdaffy502 8 років тому +1

    Eric, Note your TV is always drawing current to some level when in standby mode. You can save energy by disconnecting power to the TV.
    If your TV runs off one of the plug in power supplies which converts 115VAC to 12VDC, just unplug the power supply.
    Happy Trails Eric

    $40 per night seems very high. We are traveling from Alaska to Georgia and have come as far northeast as Maryland on this trip. We mixed up boondocking with staying at commercial RV parks. The most we have paid is $22.50, usually less. Get yourself Passport America. For $44 per year you can stay at 1900 different RV parks in North America for 50% off.

  • @BettyA

    Really pretty lake and park. I love areas like that. Nice campfire and footage. I might suggest that you put the info about the map in your description with the "stickers mailed" so it can be a permanent part of your videos, and you won't need to repeat it all the time. It was one of my questions too a long time ago, and then when I hear you mention it again I realize I had forgotten. Happy trails.

  • @steveharkins279
    @steveharkins279 6 років тому

    I threw that pressure regulator away years ago.LOL Little trick for more gray tank capacity overnight. Fill the gray tank, leave the cap on the sewer drain, open the gray valve, then open the black valve and let 20 gallons flush over to the black side. Then close black first, then close gray, that way when you unscrew the sewer cap you only get gray water dripped on.
    Also may want to start carrying a bag of wood pellets around they can turbo charge a fire. At $6 a bad they have more heat density than the pack of wood bought. I mix together about 3 packs of wood to one bag of pellets. Had flames over 4 feet high.

    @blakesteen7564 8 років тому +1

    295 is a mess with construction. Take it off hours or use the NJ Turnpike and pay the tolls. Come south and use the Delaware Memorial Bridge to stay away from Philly. From there you can jump on 95 and head south into Maryland or take 13/1/9 south to the edge of the peninsula and take the bay bridge tunnel to Virginia. I highly recommend driving that bridge. It's a really cool sight and you'll still go through the eastern shore of Maryland. You could always go down 95 to D.C., then cut back east across the Bay Bridge in Annapolis to get back on the Peninsula and head south from there

    Yay! Turkey Swamp! Love camping there. The pull-through sites are great and the surrounding sandy woods seems to go for miles in all directions. The main office, the amenities, the sites and the lake are all pretty spread out so it's great to bring a bike! We generally don't have black bear in this area but the first and only time I camped here we received a paper notice handed out to all campers that there is a black bear in the area. Didn't get much sleep that night in a tent lol.

    Now that I think about it, it makes sense to have the filter right by the RV side. Otherwise, you filter water past the hose faucet, but then runs through 25 feet of water hose with stale water that pushes into your tank.

  • @dontes9588
    @dontes9588 8 років тому +3

    You say that you get less solar during the winter which is true. If you say that you drive some time 1-2 hours or about 30 miles a day. Then my ? is do you have a battery isolator hooked to the RV engine alternator. It would give one more alternate power source to charge the house batteries while on the road driving.
