Thanks for watching! If you guys missed it, here's my favorite video from our honeymoon trip through Idaho last summer: ua-cam.com/video/U2aVKvFSIc0/v-deo.html Tristan
Welcome to Idaho! Everyone in Idaho loves the scenery, camping, hiking, and overall outdoor activities even in the cities like Boise. Enjoy your stay! We came to IDAHO in 1984 and still here! Hard to leave a great place like IDAHO.
I tell you this because of something my dad told me. We were living in Provo, where my mom was raised. I had a few kids, we're in my parents kitchen and I said we were thinking of moving to Idaho Falls. My dad goes "You don't want to move to Idaho. They are strange people in Idaho. My mom, just younger sister are all in the kitchen when my dad said that. My sister puts her arm around dad's shoulder and said "Yes, we know." That was before we lived in Livingston and Darby Montana and Ashton, St Anthony and Afton, Wyoming. I told that incident to numerous people in Idaho. My high school basketball coach, who I idolized is from Pocatello. I was on a church mission to England and my favorite companion is from Pocatello. Backpacked in the Sawtooths. Idaho is awesome. Happy to hear you moved there. Love your videos. Go to Ship Island Lake in the Bighorn Crags by Salmon. My best friend from the Bay area married a girl from Rexburgh. Her dad has been in scouting forever, been everywhere, Ship Island Lake is the most beautiful of all, according to him.
I know you will love it. The small portion of Idaho I’ve seen is just amazingly beautiful. You are a very luck man. Your wife just seems perfect. Treasure her always. 😊
Awesome! It will be good times to see what you uncover in new lands. You hear so little about Idaho. I suspect the locals keep it low key on purpose. Can't wait to visit soon.
We went to Yellowstone this fall and stayed in Idaho for a few nights and decided from that trip that we want to move there also. The city we want to move to is also Pocatello, mostly for the reasons for what you stated. Idaho is definitely underrated! Looking to move from Northern Kentucky. Thanks for sharing all your videos from Idaho; it’s definitely helped show me more of whatnot expect.
It's so green there, even in June. I've spent some time in Grand Junction, and while it's great, the mostly dry landscape does get a bit monotonous after awhile. This looks much better.
We are headed into your neck of the woods layer this week and look forward to exploring more of Idaho! After spending 4 months on the road in the dessert of Arizona and Utah, we are definitely looking forward to those majestic mountain views and tons of green!
My husband just left Twin Falls heading south to Utah in an 18 wheeler. He loves that area of the US and often does shout outs of the temperatures, me being here in Florida.
You missed the best part of your move... driving distance to reeds dairy 🙃.Very cool. We spent a while in Pocatello because of the same reasons you moved there. It had easy access to resources and a nice day trip to some extraordinary landscape. I’m looking forward to your new territory, the change will be nice for you and viewers. This is a real milestone for you. Congratulations.
It was fun driving down Lewiston Hill in a tractor trailer. WOOHOO! Clint Eastwood has a home there in Idaho. Well I'm glad that you've found a centralized place to live. The Tetons are beautiful!
Driven the south west side a bit. Just loved the scenery we saw in Idaho. Hope to travel that state some summer soon. Looking forward to your vidios, hikes of IDAHO!
Just beautiful super excited to watch all the new videos this summer, I have to admit I love your desert videos but mountains and trees and lots of green still have my heart. Congrats on the move, new adventures await!
Wow, Idaho! Have only driven through there, but what I saw was gorgeous. It's all around a perfect choice for you and your wife right now and especially for your channel. Thank you for sharing. Ironically, my big 2020 trip is Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier so your move and these trips will help me in my own trip. THANK YOU!
It's a really pretty state, for sure. And that trip you have planned is through arguably the most spectacular scenery in the country. You'll love it! Thanks Deanna.
Good for you Tristan. I wish you and Cassie well in your new home. Look forward to the up and coming videos. I looked at Pocatello on Google Maps and one thing jumped out at me was the Museum of Clean - "Modern museum showcasing exhibits on historic cleaning techniques & tools, with brooms, tubs & more". You'll have to do a video in there (only joking . . . .) Love to you and Cassie.
Just remembered I actually did go to Idaho once. I went to Boise but didn’t see much because it was for work. It looks beautiful. Once I get my van I will make a point of exploring there.
I just found your channel and the title of this video caught my eye because I recognized the view on the thumb. Nice brah, we lived in Vernal, UT for a couple of years (I worked with NOLS at the whitewater base there and a little up in Lander, WY) then on the Wasatch Back for 15 years in the Heber Valley, ended up in Poky after that for 3 years ( love all of Idaho but Poky and surrounding area are very special, Pebble Creek has incredible skiing and Bigfoots live in the area, up on Brushy Mtn on the Res but they come over to Scout Mtn as well), then down to Lake Havasu City Arizona for a year, Nashville Tennessee for 5 years and now back in St. Louis where I grew up. Working towards a nomadic life soon and actually headed out on a Great Basin road trip for Sept., Oct. and Nov. Will be in CO, UT, ID, NV, CA and AZ during that time adventuring and visiting old friends. We'll probably be in Poky for a little while even, sure miss it. Brian
I love your videos and adventures. So far, they have been taking me back through my younger years as I find I've been to the majority of the places you've been exploring. Pocatello is where I started life, decades ago. We moved from that area right after my birth only to return in my later school years. Left again upon graduating High school, but still have family in the area so I visit a bunch. Thanks for your fantastic travel logs.
I've been watching these videos for the last month. I am living the adventure life through you. I've got the normal office hours kind of job in the city, and rarely get a chance to get out there and explore. Thanks for keeping this going, and best of luck to you!
My Dad’s side of the family is from Twin Falls/ Buhl area, and we have been looking there and In Boise, but we have seen the prices rise dramatically over the last 4-5 years with the influx of Californians especially in Boise. We are Californians too, but we wish to “escape” this crazy state and its “me first” attitude. I hadn’t considered Pocatello before I saw your video, but it really opened my eyes to that area. My main loves are mountain biking and fishing, (just picked up tenkara last year), and the Pocatello area would be a better choice for us over Twin Falls because of the close proximity to the wilderness. The town we live in now, (Atascadero, Ca) has about 70,000, and i feel has enough stores and restaurants to satisfy us. The hospital in Pocatello looks new and modern, and the housing is still reasonably priced, ( which is huge). Just checking out job opportunities there now as I am getting ready to “retire” from my 20 year career with AT&T and start something new in a different direction, definitely in Idaho! Thanks for your interesting videos! I love watching them on weekend mornings with coffee before I have my own adventure.
Thanks 😀 We relocated from NM to GJ CO n can’t really find our forever home, so looking again. If moving, always check Radon in western areas, even new construction. Watch out for bad evaporative coolers and home design that you cannot modify. Happy travels!
One nice thing about Pocatello is you can be out in the country but still 15-20 mins from town but you can’t see town from your house. It’s a great jumping off point for a lot of great wilderness and national parks Idaho has a lot of beauty in and nearby. I have friends in Pocatello. Lots of great memories there
I can't wait to someday explore Idaho!! I ran into a traveling firefighter last year while in New Mexico he lives in Idaho and he was telling me how it's like the best kept secret! Thanks for sharing this! Hope you guys continue to enjoy your stay there!!
Almost 4 years late on this, but I lived most of my life in Pocatello. Pocatello isn't anything special itself, but it's so close to so many incredible places that it's an ideal place to live for anyone who loves the outdoors. I spent a lot of my 20s exploring and adventuring, and saw such a small amount of what there is to see. I live in a small town at the base of the Olympic Mountains now and it feels somewhat similar, but with a warmer and much wetter climate. I do miss Pocatello a lot, but living close to the ocean, the Cascades, and the Olympics is every bit as amazing.
YaY.... I grew up in Pocatello from 1st grade through high school. Gratuated "Poky" High in 72. Keep up the great work. I always enjoy your adventures.
Congratulations! This seems like an excellent base for exploring some really amazing areas. I have to admit, despite living "next" to Idaho my whole life, I always had an inaccurate and under-informed impression of what it has to offer, having really only spent time in the Nampa/Boise area where I have family and friends. It's only very recently, and thanks to watching your videos (along with SW Idaho Overlanding), that I've realized what an incredible and diverse state it is. Congrats again, and look forward to seeing the adventures you find fanning out from Pocatello!
Some incredible history there that I know a little of via the book ‘Astoria’. I am sure you will be able to give us context with your present day travels.
Straight west of you is a big lava field from a old volcano, I can't remeber the road but it goes to the Pocatello area. I loaded cream at one of the dairies near you to take to Wisconsin. You're in a beautiful area to stay and grow a decent family. Bless you and Happy New Year.
Are you still in Idaho? just started watching your videos. you do a great job! born in Idaho Falls and have traveled all over the western United States but came back to Idaho 44 years ago and never want to leave. three of the kids live in Utah and want us to move to there but love the laid back life and adventure opportunities of South Eastern Idaho. live in Idaho Falls and love the area. honestly don't like to see the influx of folks from the far western United States who want to bring their problems and issues to the area so thank goodness for super cold winters, lots of snow and ice and HOBO SPIDERS that keep all but the hardy from the area for very long. keep bringing the videos.
We’ll be be moving from the Midwest in several years and I have other relatives that have moved to Idaho from New Jersey. The state is getting more than Californians’ attentions.
Thanks for sharing, I am looking forward to discovering Idaho and surrounding states with you. I have not been in touch for a while, but have been watching, I have my truck and camper and will be leaving Toronto late August to head west to Seattle to collect my Camper that i purchased last year, thanks for all the wonderful videos you make, one per week os good with me and you will be more invested in one great video than pushing for two and maybe not giving it your all, self care is important.
Sounds like you have a great adventure coming up! Good luck with your new truck camper. Those are really cool. You'll have a great time. Thanks Amanda!
Thanks for the reply, the camper is hand built one of a kind , I will send you some pictures, I bought it so I can go off road, I got inspirations from you sleeping in your SUV and going on awesome day hikes thanks again
Welcome to Idaho, we moved here 8 years ago to the Boise area from the flatland's of Maryland's eastern shore. You will absolutely love this state. There are mountains, deserts, whitewater, dirt roads, and scenic diversity beyond description. Many have said Idaho is what America was and that is Idaho in a nutshell. We would certainly recommend the Stanley area for unsurpassed hiking and the Frank Church Wilderness area for 1 million plus acres of unspoiled forest and woodlands. We really enjoy your youtube channel and look forward to you sharing your adventures. May God bless you and your family beyond measure.
You forgot to mention that Nevada is a border state as well! We in NV often forget about ID and OR too 🤪 There are very scenic mountainous and geologically interesting areas at NV/ID border. And don’t forget Driggs, ID where you get a view of the west side of the Tetons and great skiing at Grand Targhee resort on the western slopes of the Tetons.
5:50 From your list of amenities, my be no REI (yet)... but on the high-tech side you could have added that there is a Tesla Supercharger (8 x 150 kW) open since May 2016, and more recently an Electrify America station (3 x CCS 350 kW) in Chubbuck. :) Nice video and interesting experience by the way !!! for someone like me confined in a 1bedroom apt in a large city... I will certainly take time to have a look of Pocatello and surrounding area, on my way to Yellowstone.
I got my undergrad at ISU in Poky. Nice place. My parents lived just north in Shelley. Lived all around Idaho-Utah-Wyoming-Nevada. Wouldn't live anywhere else. ;) Also some good trips into central Idaho (Mt. Borah Peak trail for example).
If you guys get a chance you should check out the Pine Creek area between Swan Valley and the Victor Valley. Only about an hour east of Idaho Falls. Enjoy! Gorgeous area.
Congratulations and Good Luck! (even though you moved 9 months ago). Idaho is one of the states I'm including in my road trip this Summer! Maybe we'll run into each other Tristan. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy them. Peace.
you should check out the Gallatin Canyon in Montana....so many trails....and critters....lots of grizzlies, so traveling alone more dangerous....but I did it quite a bit and luckily, got away with it....DEFINITELY take big can of bear spray and wear bells or make noise....I used to knock rocks together every few yards on trail
Let's see...you first said "family" then changed it to "wife." So is family meaning "baby" 😁😁 hmmm...Looking forward to your MANY new adventures and congratulations on your move. I wish you both so much happiness at your new home.
moved to Idaho 2/2/06 from Chester, California and it was the best thing i did in my life, lived near Burley but sold my home in 2019 got a motor home and a small lot in Salmon Idaho and go to Az for the winter
Welcome to Idaho! I live on a ranch about 25 min south of Pocatello. Lots of great hiking, camping. I love it here. Moved here from Denver a decade ago. In a few hours I can be in the Uintahs to the south, shoot north to Tetons and Yellowstone, east to the Sawtooths, all just a couple hours away. Great cross country skiing and snowshoeing up Mink Creek, downhill skiing in Pebble Creek just south of you.
Congratulations on the move. You didn’t mention it, but I’m sure that you know, that there is world class trout fishing in Idaho. I’m hoping that you will make a trip and video along the Rocky Mountain Fly Highway.
The thing I don't like about the Pocatello valley is that is always has dirty air when we drive through there. I live north of there and you are right about being in the plains. It is an hour or more to true trails to hike on, so everyone is on those trails. North of you the weather is psychotic. Essentially nine months worth of winter conditions. I used to want to move to Boise, but the surrounding area seems even deader than a desert except the rattle snakes.
The desert didn't have ticks did it? [air horns, spray and road flare on the end of a tall hiking staff. just bear awaring & food caches away from the car too] Now is the time to find steelhead waters & enjoy some of those big guys. (is ID too inland tho??) You have the eye for vistas & very much looking forward to your captures in your new home. God Bless
I just subscribed, I enjoy watching you explore hidden gems, and overlooked locales. How about visiting the National Parks and odds and ends of Baja California, Mexico. I've heard good things about the national parks, but seen very little visual coverage of them.
My father was born in Twin Falls, his father in Oakley, his mother's parent came from Sweden and helped settle Tetonia where she was raised. I just recently lived in Montpelier, lived in Ashton and St. Anthony.
Greetings Outdoors Traveler, It seemed good unto the Lord my God to introduce me to your UA-cam SUV RVing videos recently. I must say, I have enjoyed watching and listening to your uplifting "Idaho" outdoor traveling videos. I recently watched (2-3) videos, I smiled with laughter when I watched your bike rving adventure into the (BLM) sagebrush field, and the weather began to rain lightly upon you. I heard you tell your viewers, I don't know if I want to set up camp for the early evening in the light rain when you could call your wife to come pick you up, I laughed with the Lord, and "you" for this most of us who have hiked or biked into the wilderness know and understand how inclement weather may make our outdoor experience, depending on the season and climate, a real "wilderness experience" of the solitude of hiking and camping alone in the wilderness. Well, I must say, I have truly enjoyed watching your video channel, and as a Connecticut native living in the city of Boise, Idaho for more than 15 years, I haven't (yet) explored the scenic adventure of backcountry travel into the wilderness regions of Idaho. If my Lord wills me, as I desire, I think, I want to explore remote scenic rivers in Idaho. Will continue to enjoy watching your videos. Shalom Mon 6.1.20
I absolutely love Idaho! It's probably my favorite state in the US. We visit Idaho once or twice a year. I think people don't realize what Idaho has to offer! I personally love sun valley and the sawtooth national forest. Eastern Idaho can be a little boring IMO :P but congratulations!! I am very jealous!
Congratulations on the the move 👍 the background scenery sure looks awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Idaho and your adventures.. Take care my fellow Texan and enjoy life 😎👌...
Good for you! Glad you made a decision you both feel good about. From the looks of it, the scenery is amazing! Who wouldn't want to wake up to that every day? Idaho is mostly underrated b/c the folks that live there know what a good thing they have and know how to keep a secret. ;o) Can't wait to hear the news in the next vid, even though I think I can guess what it is...
Congrats. Never been to Idaho, or for that matter Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Washington, Oregon. The sheltered life will soon change. Still have my SUV set up but now have a TT as well.
Congrats on your move to Idaho (although it's been a couple years)! I'm still catching up! Spent some time in Sand Pt., ID. many years ago. Curious about your findings. See you soon ~
Thanks for watching! If you guys missed it, here's my favorite video from our honeymoon trip through Idaho last summer: ua-cam.com/video/U2aVKvFSIc0/v-deo.html

Idaho. Great Bush flying into bush airstrips

I tell you this because of something my dad told me.
We were living in Provo, where my mom was raised. I had a few kids, we're in my parents kitchen and I said we were thinking of moving to Idaho Falls.

My mom, just younger sister are all in the kitchen when my dad said that. My sister puts her arm around dad's shoulder and said "Yes, we know."
That was before we lived in Livingston and Darby Montana and Ashton, St Anthony and Afton, Wyoming.
I told that incident to numerous people in Idaho. My high school basketball coach, who I idolized is from Pocatello. I was on a church mission to England and my favorite companion is from Pocatello.
Backpacked in the Sawtooths. Idaho is awesome.
Happy to hear you moved there. Love your videos.
Go to Ship Island Lake in the Bighorn Crags by Salmon.
My best friend from the Bay area married a girl from Rexburgh. Her dad has been in scouting forever, been everywhere, Ship Island Lake is the most beautiful of all, according to him.
Try where the Snake meets the Clearwater River and head east thru Lolo Pass. Gorgeous!
Yes that is a gorgeous drive
We were just camping in Coeur d Alene. In East Glacier now. Go up to Priest Lake. Spent my summers there for most of my life. So Beautiful.
I agree!
I know you will love it. The small portion of Idaho I’ve seen is just amazingly beautiful.
You are a very luck man. Your wife just seems perfect. Treasure her always. 😊
Awesome! It will be good times to see what you uncover in new lands. You hear so little about Idaho. I suspect the locals keep it low key on purpose. Can't wait to visit soon.

I like GC but it’s unaffordable

Never heard of Reeds Dairy, but I just looked it up. It's on the list now, for sure! Thanks!
It was fun driving down Lewiston Hill in a tractor trailer. WOOHOO!
Clint Eastwood has a home there in Idaho.
Well I'm glad that you've found a centralized place to live. The Tetons are beautiful!
Congrats on the move to Idaho! It's a super underrated state. So gorgeous.
That trail your filming from is so picture perfect! Can't wait for more videos from the area :)
There are a couple of really gorgeous trails less than 10 minutes from us. It's really nice!
Driven the south west side a bit. Just loved the scenery we saw in Idaho. Hope to travel that state some summer soon. Looking forward to your vidios, hikes of IDAHO!
Just beautiful super excited to watch all the new videos this summer, I have to admit I love your desert videos but mountains and trees and lots of green still have my heart. Congrats on the move, new adventures await!
Thanks! :)
I'm thrilled with the new direction of your channel. I'm a big fan of Idaho and that region so I'm really looking forward to your upcoming videos!
Glad to hear it, Robert! Thanks for watching.
Wow, Idaho! Have only driven through there, but what I saw was gorgeous. It's all around a perfect choice for you and your wife right now and especially for your channel. Thank you for sharing.

It is very lovely there for sure. This country has so much to explore.

I looked at Pocatello on Google Maps and one thing jumped out at me was the Museum of Clean - "Modern museum showcasing exhibits on historic cleaning techniques & tools, with brooms, tubs & more". You'll have to do a video in there (only joking . . . .) Love to you and Cassie.
We've driven past the museum but haven't stopped by yet. It's supposed to be really good though! Who would have thought...
Just remembered I actually did go to Idaho once. I went to Boise but didn’t see much because it was for work. It looks beautiful. Once I get my van I will make a point of exploring there.
Can’t wait for the videos of kayak trips on the Snake River
They'll definitely be coming!
I just found your channel and the title of this video caught my eye because I recognized the view on the thumb.

Working towards a nomadic life soon and actually headed out on a Great Basin road trip for Sept., Oct. and Nov. Will be in CO, UT, ID, NV, CA and AZ during that time adventuring and visiting old friends. We'll probably be in Poky for a little while even, sure miss it.

I love your videos and adventures. So far, they have been taking me back through my younger years as I find I've been to the majority of the places you've been exploring. Pocatello is where I started life, decades ago. We moved from that area right after my birth only to return in my later school years. Left again upon graduating High school, but still have family in the area so I
visit a bunch. Thanks for your fantastic travel logs.
My home state! Soooo much to explore in Idaho. Incredibly beautiful. Go take a visit to the Seven Devils moutains and make a video plz =)
I'd love to, but that's not exactly in our neighborhood :) But I'm sure I'll make it over there at some point. Thanks for watching!
I've been watching these videos for the last month. I am living the adventure life through you. I've got the normal office hours kind of job in the city, and rarely get a chance to get out there and explore. Thanks for keeping this going, and best of luck to you!
Thanks Brandon! I appreciate that. I'll keep making them if you keep watching them 😁
Sounds like you found the ideal place to call home! Exciting adventures ahead!
I am envious! My wife and I are planning to move to Idaho as well. Great video. I hop you’re not giving up on the tenkara videos!
Nope, still plan on making a tenkara video every week for the remainder of the year. We'll see after that. What part of Idaho will you be moving to?
My Dad’s side of the family is from Twin Falls/ Buhl area, and we have been looking there and In Boise, but we have seen the prices rise dramatically over the last 4-5 years with the influx of Californians especially in Boise.

Thanks for your interesting videos! I love watching them on weekend mornings with coffee before I have my own adventure.
Mountains. Yay! I am a new resident of a small small town in the Colorado Rockies. Looking forward to Idaho mountain videos.
Thanks 😀 We relocated
from NM to GJ CO n can’t really find our forever home, so looking again. If moving, always check Radon in western areas, even new construction. Watch out for bad evaporative coolers and home design that you cannot modify. Happy travels!
One nice thing about Pocatello is you can be out in the country but still 15-20 mins from town but you can’t see town from your house. It’s a great jumping off point for a lot of great wilderness and national parks Idaho has a lot of beauty in and nearby. I have friends in Pocatello. Lots of great memories there
Love your move, your reasons, and looking forward to more green mountain scenery!
I can't wait to someday explore Idaho!! I ran into a traveling firefighter last year while in New Mexico he lives in Idaho and he was telling me how it's like the best kept secret! Thanks for sharing this! Hope you guys continue to enjoy your stay there!!
It's a pretty great place! Thanks for watching.

Very nice area! Looking forward to seeing what Utah has to offer! Take care and safe travels!
Can't wait for your adventures around your new home, as I'm sure you two will.....take care..
I drove through Idaho while going from BC to Ontario many years ago, such a beautiful state!
It really is. Thanks Nancy!
YaY.... I grew up in Pocatello from 1st grade through high school. Gratuated "Poky" High in 72. Keep up the great work. I always enjoy your adventures.
Congratulations! This seems like an excellent base for exploring some really amazing areas.

Some incredible history there that I know a little of via the book ‘Astoria’. I am sure you will be able to give us context with your present day travels.
Looking forward to seeing your future videos in Idaho. You really do a great job and I always look forward to seeing them.
Thanks Gloria!
I passed through the northern part of Idaho a few times when I was trucking, amazing landscape🙂 thanks for the video👍
Congrats wish you guys the best in your new home.
Thanks!
Very cool! Happy for you both. Looking forward to the "green" vids too!
Straight west of you is a big lava field from a old volcano, I can't remeber the road but it goes to the Pocatello area. I loaded cream at one of the dairies near you to take to Wisconsin. You're in a beautiful area to stay and grow a decent family. Bless you and Happy New Year.
Welcome to Idaho! We live near Coeur d’Alene. I was in Rexburg on Thursday.
That is kool, the area is beautiful and plenty of outdoor action my fav place is Sun Valley. Congrats on the move.
Are you still in Idaho? just started watching your videos. you do a great job! born in Idaho Falls and have traveled all over the western United States but came back to Idaho 44 years ago and never want to leave. three of the kids live in Utah and want us to move to there but love the laid back life and adventure opportunities of South Eastern Idaho. live in Idaho Falls and love the area. honestly don't like to see the influx of folks from the far western United States who want to bring their problems and issues to the area so thank goodness for super cold winters, lots of snow and ice and HOBO SPIDERS that keep all but the hardy from the area for very long. keep bringing the videos.
We’ll be be moving from the Midwest in several years and I have other relatives that have moved to Idaho from New Jersey. The state is getting more than Californians’ attentions.
Thanks for sharing, I am looking forward to discovering Idaho and surrounding states with you. I have not been in touch for a while, but have been watching, I have my truck and camper and will be leaving Toronto late August to head west to Seattle to collect my Camper that i purchased last year, thanks for all the wonderful videos you make, one per week os good with me and you will be more invested in one great video than pushing for two and maybe not giving it your all, self care is important.
Sounds like you have a great adventure coming up! Good luck with your new truck camper. Those are really cool. You'll have a great time. Thanks Amanda!
Thanks for the reply, the camper is hand built one of a kind , I will send you some pictures, I bought it so I can go off road, I got inspirations from you sleeping in your SUV and going on awesome day hikes thanks again
Congratulations! Looks awesome!
The area you shot this video in is so gorgeous! Congratulations on your move and the new family member ;)
Congratulations Tristan how exciting for you and your wife. I’m looking forward to Greener pastures.
Thanks Jacqueline!
So very happy to see you in such a Beautiful place...( & 'the road less traveled') Looking forward to your adventures...Blessings to you BOTH
Welcome to Idaho, we moved here 8 years ago to the Boise area from the flatland's of Maryland's eastern shore. You will absolutely love this state. There are mountains, deserts, whitewater, dirt roads, and scenic diversity beyond description. Many have said Idaho is what America was and that is Idaho in a nutshell. We would certainly recommend the Stanley area for unsurpassed hiking and the Frank Church Wilderness area for 1 million plus acres of unspoiled forest and woodlands. We really enjoy your youtube channel and look forward to you sharing your adventures. May God bless you and your family beyond measure.
I've been through the Stanley area a couple of times and can't wait to go back! Thanks Mark!
Congratulations on your move to Idaho...sounds like you're enjoying it already. Looking forward to Idaho vids!
You're making me want to move there! Exactly what I want...to live in forest areas...not too small of a town...and much cheaper than living in So Cal.
Waaay cheaper than living in southern California!
It's SO under rated ! Spectacular scenery and hot springs ! Not kidding. Utah girl and it's one of my favorite travel spots.
Yep, lots of great hot springs! Thanks for watching.
You forgot to mention that Nevada is a border state as well! We in NV often forget about ID and OR too 🤪 There are very scenic mountainous and geologically interesting areas at NV/ID border. And don’t forget Driggs, ID where you get a view of the west side of the Tetons and great skiing at Grand Targhee resort on the western slopes of the Tetons.
I was just in Driggs last week :)
Land Cruising Doc Driggs is on my list- my brother loved it there.
Very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming videos!
Thanks Ryan!
5:50 From your list of amenities, my be no REI (yet)... but on the high-tech side
you could have added that there is a Tesla Supercharger (8 x 150 kW) open since May 2016,
and more recently an Electrify America station (3 x
CCS 350 kW) in Chubbuck. :)
Nice video and interesting experience by the way !!! for someone like me confined in a 1bedroom apt in a large city...
I will certainly take time to have a look of Pocatello and surrounding area, on my way to Yellowstone.
Can not wait to see it through your eye's and video's !!!!!
Thanks Mary!
I got my undergrad at ISU in Poky. Nice place. My parents lived just north in Shelley. Lived all around Idaho-Utah-Wyoming-Nevada. Wouldn't live anywhere else. ;) Also some good trips into central Idaho (Mt. Borah Peak trail for example).
Glad to see you guys doing well Tristan! Idaho is a great place.
If you guys get a chance you should check out the Pine Creek area between Swan Valley and the Victor Valley. Only about an hour east of Idaho Falls. Enjoy! Gorgeous area.
Congraduations on the move! In my opinion You guys made a great choice. Originally when you said that you were considering Prescott I Cringed.
I still like Prescott :)
@@SUVRVing If you ever consider moving to and or buying property in the Prescott area, Please research the on going water crisis they are having.
congratulations on the move and have a little spud for us.
Lol will do. Thanks Jeffrey.
Congratulations and Good Luck! (even though you moved 9 months ago). Idaho is one of the states I'm including in my road trip this Summer! Maybe we'll run into each other Tristan. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy them. Peace.
you should check out the Gallatin Canyon in Montana....so many trails....and critters....lots of grizzlies, so traveling alone more dangerous....but I did it quite a bit and luckily, got away with it....DEFINITELY take big can of bear spray and wear bells or make noise....I used to knock rocks together every few yards on trail
ALWAYS GREAT VIDEOS! THANKS, TRISTAN!
My parents grew up farming in Idaho, hard working, good hearted, family people. You are correct, it’s rural beauty.
It's a good place, for sure. Thanks for watching!
Congrats on your move. I agree - Idaho is beautiful!
Thanks Cyn!
Congrats! If you ever need anything please let us know. You guys are awesome! Welcome to Idaho
Let's see...you first said "family" then changed it to "wife." So is family meaning "baby" 😁😁 hmmm...Looking forward to your MANY new adventures and congratulations on your move. I wish you both so much happiness at your new home.
Sounds like a good move good luck to you both.
Thanks Bill!
I'm glad that you moved to Idaho. Colorado has changed a lot.
moved to Idaho 2/2/06 from Chester, California and it was the best thing i did in my life, lived near Burley but sold my home in 2019 got a motor home and a small lot in Salmon Idaho and go to Az for the winter
Welcome to Idaho! I live on a ranch about 25 min south of Pocatello. Lots of great hiking, camping. I love it here. Moved here from Denver a decade ago. In a few hours I can be in the Uintahs to the south, shoot north to Tetons and Yellowstone, east to the Sawtooths, all just a couple hours away. Great cross country skiing and snowshoeing up Mink Creek, downhill skiing in Pebble Creek just south of you.
Sounds like you're in Marsh Valley? Beautiful area!
Looking forward to seeing more of Idaho through your videos, Tristan. I think I know what news is coming next... 🤰🤱😀
Congratulations on the move. You didn’t mention it, but I’m sure that you know, that there is world class trout fishing in Idaho. I’m hoping that you will make a trip and video along the Rocky Mountain Fly Highway.
Yes there is! We just drove along the Henry's Fork last week. Looots of great fishing in this part of the state. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on the move! I imagine Idaho is cooler in temps as well.
yup sawhill mountain trails are so cushy! and all those hot springs! loved Idaho!!!
Idaho is a great spot! Looking forward to seeing the adventure up there!
Thanks Nate!
Canada is so close now. Come see Alberta. We loved the bitterroots. We wandered into the dredge and camped that road. Loved finding your video of it.
I'd love to, but "close" is relative. I'm a 9.5-hour drive from the border!
The thing I don't like about the Pocatello valley is that is always has dirty air when we drive through there. I live north of there and you are right about being in the plains. It is an hour or more to true trails to hike on, so everyone is on those trails. North of you the weather is psychotic. Essentially nine months worth of winter conditions. I used to want to move to Boise, but the surrounding area seems even deader than a desert except the rattle snakes.
Shhh! Idaho is too beautiful to share with everyone! ❤️
Lol I'll try to keep it on the down-low. Thanks Bette.
That’s how I feel about Vermont.
To late
The desert didn't have ticks did it?
[air horns, spray and road flare on the end of a tall hiking staff. just bear awaring & food caches away from the car too]
Now is the time to find steelhead waters & enjoy some of those big guys. (is ID too inland tho??)
You have the eye for vistas & very much looking forward to your captures in your new home.
God Bless
I just subscribed, I enjoy watching you explore hidden gems, and overlooked locales. How about visiting the National Parks and odds and ends of Baja California, Mexico. I've heard good things about the national parks, but seen very little visual coverage of them.
My father was born in Twin Falls, his father in Oakley, his mother's parent came from Sweden and helped settle Tetonia where she was raised.
I just recently lived in Montpelier, lived in Ashton and St. Anthony.
Idaho is a beautiful state. I used to live there but too cold for me. Kuddos on your move. Wish I could still be there.
Yep, cold is definitely a negative of living here. Not ideal. Thanks for watching, Becky!
Greetings Outdoors Traveler, It seemed good unto the Lord my God to introduce me to your UA-cam SUV RVing videos recently. I must say, I have enjoyed watching and listening to your uplifting "Idaho" outdoor traveling videos. I recently watched (2-3) videos, I smiled with laughter when I watched your bike rving adventure into the (BLM) sagebrush field, and the weather began to rain lightly upon you. I heard you tell your viewers, I don't know if I want to set up camp for the early evening in the light rain when you could call your wife to come pick you up, I laughed with the Lord, and "you" for this most of us who have hiked or biked into the wilderness know and understand how inclement weather may make our outdoor experience, depending on the season and climate, a real "wilderness experience" of the solitude of hiking and camping alone in the wilderness. Well, I must say, I have truly enjoyed watching your video channel, and as a Connecticut native living in the city of Boise, Idaho for more than 15 years, I haven't (yet) explored the scenic adventure of backcountry travel into the wilderness regions of Idaho. If my Lord wills me, as I desire, I think, I want to explore remote scenic rivers in Idaho. Will continue to enjoy watching your videos. Shalom Mon 6.1.20
I absolutely love Idaho! It's probably my favorite state in the US. We visit Idaho once or twice a year. I think people don't realize what Idaho has to offer! I personally love sun valley and the sawtooth national forest. Eastern Idaho can be a little boring IMO :P but congratulations!! I am very jealous!
It's a great place, for sure! Thanks James.
Congratulations on the the move 👍 the background scenery sure looks awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Idaho and your adventures.. Take care my fellow Texan and enjoy life 😎👌...
Thanks Sal!
Yay for the green!
really looking forward to 'visiting' Idaho. Glad thats where you landed :)
Thanks Jill!
Good for you! Glad you made a decision you both feel good about. From the looks of it, the scenery is amazing! Who wouldn't want to wake up to that every day?
Idaho is mostly underrated b/c the folks that live there know what a good thing they have and know how to keep a secret. ;o)
Can't wait to hear the news in the next vid, even though I think I can guess what it is...
Thanks Jeanette!
Jeanette Swalberg I hope it stays a secret. Because Seattle has been ruined by “success”.
Congrats. Never been to Idaho, or for that matter Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Washington, Oregon. The sheltered life will soon change. Still have my SUV set up but now have a TT as well.
It's a gorgeous part of the country, for sure!
Congrats on your move to Idaho (although it's been a couple years)! I'm still catching up!
Spent some time in Sand Pt., ID. many years ago. Curious about your findings.
See you soon ~
