Wall Drug and Arriving at the Badlands Van Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Take a stop at Wall Drug. My my is Brian. I live on the road full time in myself built camper. Join me on my adventures. In this video I leave Pierre, South Dakota and head towards Badlands National Park. I stop in Wall, South Dakota to check out the infamous Wall Drug. There was a large amount of motorcycles due to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Wall Drug wasn't all that interesting. I then moved just a few miles down the road to my bondocking spot at Buffalo Gap. This is a free dispersed camping area just outside Badlands NP. A very powerful thunder storm moved through my first night there. Also tried making Nachos on the camp stove again. Find this campsite at freecampsites.... Thanks for watching!

Great Vid. Love the drone footage and that sunset. Very nice.
Great video. I love being up high and watching storms and lightening. Thanks for sharing that.
I love storms, this was great. I can imagine that was a bit unnerving. What stunning clouds & sky afterwards.
Thank you for stopping at Wall Drug so I don't have to! I've driven past it many times but was always in too big of a hurry. Safe travels.
I had never seen so much advertising for so long for such little tiny town. 👍🏻😄🚐
Your drone footage gets better each video. The semi-tracking shots while the drone's in motion are the best. Buffalo Gap was gorgeous.
Great shots of the canon with the drone and the sunset was beautiful.
I am so glad that Eric(nomadic fanatic)told us to check out your channel. I've been going back and watching and enjoying them all.
Thank goodness the storm didn't turn turn into a tornado

I totally agree..Brian's work is truly amazing!!!!
OO...WILD! Front row seat to nature's spectacular show! And you didn't need to go up to the snack bar for nachos! So glad you caught it all! Especially the after show with those eerie white hanging puffs of clouds and lightening! Thank you!
I really like the format of your vids, it's just like being right there! Thank you
So I'm playing catch up with your videos (just recently found you on UA-cam) and am laughing, not at you but, at your comment of you'll never have to stop at wall drug again! We go that way at least once a year and it only took stopping once for us to know we'd never stop again! Thanks for the laugh!
Love your commentaries and the drone footage is wonderful!
A vote for Brian! Best video man!
I think his laid back attitude is also his shctick. Wanna drink a beer with that guy.
Rufus Earl , or three;)
Rustling up some vittles in a summer thunderstorm, living like a true westerner, great sunset shots.😀👍✌
OMG the view after the storm is so beautiful
I bet the people on motorcycle enjoyed that little storm !!
The Badlands are breath taking that is for sure. The view from the drone was amazing. I wish I was there,I love storms like that.
Beautiful footage! Nothing like being in the van when it's coming down outside and nachos! Now THATs the life 👍
So glad you did not allow your imminent peril stop you from making your fabulous nachos! Haha!
GREAT spot, drone video, and nachos. Storm was scary.
Incredible! Don't you just love the feeling of successful survival. What a rush! A beautiful day for you. I once tent camped there and I asked someone which way the weather came from and they chuckled. Fun memories.
Wow! Awesome filming. image all that was once full of water thousands of years ago. Wow! So cool. I hope you got full on those little bit of nachos. Thanks for sharing. Great video as always. Peace ✌ 🌹💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
That was a good storm, the strong wind makes us feel like we're in a boat LOL
What a awsome camping spot..and it free.
wow. that camping spot is amazing...scary winds...but what a beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful video and that drone footage!!!
wow what a beautiful place! Loved the storm and the sunset that followed
April 2003 I drove from Seattle to GA and ate breakfast in Wall. Passed right through Rapid City the night before, then worried I wouldn't find a place to stay! No turning around! Kept seeing signs for Wasta Motel, so made it to Wasta, spent $28 for my room, got up went to Wall and found a place to eat. I was in a hurry to get all the way across America, but so disappointed I didn't have time! Now, I want to go slowly with travel trailer back to those places and more!
WOW Horizontal Rain at 8:35 can give you a run for your money, then its gone in an instant. Elated that it passed over Brian, be safe and well man.
Love the drone footage!!!👍😄 That storm was crazy.😨 Love the sunset.👍😉💓😄🚐
Beautiful sky!
Wow! That was a powerful storm!
Awesome views! I loved the sunset! Have a great week my friend.
That place is beautiful. Bucket list item.
wow wall drug used to be one huge store and in the 60s they had people who would wander the parking lot and put bumper stickers on every car and of course at that time all the cars had big steel bumpers. Eventually people got pissed off because it was hard to get them off the chrome if you didn't want it there.
Yeah, the only impressive thing about (hole-in-the) Wall Drug is the world-class marketing campaign. I've seen signs as far as 500 miles away!Sweet campsite. I love it!
Mother nature at its best
You have to stop at Wall, after that long drive and all those billboards. That was a crazy storm and those clouds are out of this world!
Stunning landscape.. I need to go there
pretty area. the storm was intense, but a beautiful sunset.
what an amazing evening!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️WOW is right! Great video ❤️
Love watching your adventures (from sunny San Diego).
Sorry I had to laugh your van was really shaky while you were trying to stay calm and cook. Stay safe out there.
You need to relax I love the thunder in the rain you should sit back and record when you cooking when it's raining and enjoy it like I enjoy watching your video but I want to enjoy it too cuz I think it's beautiful you know it's nothing to be scared
Great drone video. Love it. We have been to the Badlands and thought it was awesome during Sturgis week. Very interesting.
Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
That is a great place. Cant believe you rolled in to Sturgis not knowing what time of the year it is. But its still some beautiful country

Going there in August!!
thats awesome Brian.
I love to listen to the wind only when your camping. To bad you didn't show us around your other camp ground you were at
was awesome seeing the Badlands...planning my visit to Mount Rushmore..plan on being there the end of next month..
Hey Brian fantastic vid,and awesome place.Wish you all the best:)
Will continue to watch your channel.
Let the good spirits keep you safe.
I just missed you, Brian. I was there Saturday just before Sturgis started and I was in the Rapid City area through Wednesday. : )
Great video. Looks like a nice hiking area.
stunning footage!
Just flat love South Dakota. Been there a few times and always crude on through. I would like to spend days just meandering around. Stay safe!
Awesome campsite! I like being in a rain storm while tucked away in a van or RV as long as there are not tornado-like winds. It's a cozy like feeling. But that was some storm you went through. As always you're meal looked so delicious! You might have to publish a cookbook for one burner vandwellers! Your videos are really looking great! Your smooth and stable drone video is really nice. It drives me nuts trying to watch others drone videos darting all over the place. 👍🏼
Great spot to camp...
Hey Filmmaker Brian~
Your contagious excitement while in nature always makes me laugh:)
Awesome drone footage, as usual, and those skies after the storm passed~
Wow, amazing colors!!!
Kinda reminds me of the AZ Haboobs, where I lived for 3 years, and after the dust, wind, and rain passed through, there was this amazing calm
with the loveliest skyline.
Plz share where those coolest blue glasses came from, and wishing many blessings as your travel trail is revealed...
great drone footage
totally enjoyed it!
Servus AdventureVanMan, thank you for all your great videos. They helped me a lot in my dull job with all this dull sharks swimming around me in their suits. I began to dream of a live you do and got the power to say all the trues about the work I do and therefore, very probably, I will be sacked on Monday and I’m free too.
You talk about a list of all the places you wanna come again. Have you thought about writing a book with all your favourite places? Here in Europe I know where to go but I’m lost on the other side of the pond.
hi drone footage was like you were on another planet! Nothing like that in the uk. Great view of the storm in the distance and cloud formations felt like we were there with you :)
Glad you made it through te storm. It was a little touch and go for a minute there. Lol
Wendy
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🖒🖒🖒🌞🌞🖒🖒🌯🌯🌯🌯
Great video as usual! Safe travels! ✌
Great footage!
Wish we could get some rain like that here in CA. It sure would help putting all these fires out.
This might sound odd but I felt like I traveled back in time to the old west for a few moments in this video. The sudden storm, the sunset afterwards, lightning off in the distance on the plains....just the location and overall vibe.
That was awesome!
great camp spot
Beautiful Video still enjoying your travels,keep them coming Brian
Van life storms are part of it,i love it camping in a storm,clouds after a storm are Awesome
Nice video! Badlands are awesome, Wall Drug not so much lol. Like you, biggest storms I have ever seen were in SD. I was in a tent. Hail, rain, wind, lightening, and wolves howling when it was over. It was scary for sure!
awesome. thanks.
Wow, didn't know the sun set so late in that part of the US
hy great spot save travel
Spent some time this past May truck camping in South Dakota. Love your footage. Being from New England I had no idea about Wall Drug - everyone should see that place! I drank the 5 cent coffee almost every day! Hiked the Badlands and drove around buffalo like an obstacle course! Loved Sturgis, Deadwood and Mount Rushmore. SD is a beautiful state, but I don't think the wind ever stops blowing there! Felt like I was riding along with ya! Julie
awesome views! looks just like The Canadian Badlands. The fam and I go to Drumheller, Alberta every summer; about 90 mins NE of Calgary. Very similar geology.
My favorite part of going out west is the Badlands to Rushmore to Yellowstone. Cant beat that road trip. I do it once a year. My job takes me all over the country (medical) and it is the best of both worlds. The storm was awesome. In 1993 we were traveling to California and we were in a tornado in Amarillo Texas. Small world huh?
Brian, can you add GPS coordinates to your spots so we can find them easier? Great view!
That's a great idea!
cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love a good storm.
Me Too! 🐙
Wow!!!
I hope you had some containers out there catching that rain water! :)
If you ever find yourself in Northern Colorado...I have 30 tree-filled acres--where my Van HQ is--with your name on it...I'd love to pick your brain about Van travels! Love the Vids!
We were out there in October and Wall Drug signs got us too. Much more alive with all the bikes and summer tourists, was super dead when we went same experience sounds like. Just a trap to buy postcards. LOVE the drone footage! Had me laughing pretty good in that crazy storm making nachos, haha yea death storm but any way Nachos! This is by far my new favorite video, awesome stuff and footage! Seems like you're getting a new burst of energy being back on the road, really excited for you man. Devils Tower next?!
Brother I'm glad you made it through that rainstorm it really looks cool that Badlands never been out that way to see that I've been out west certain places but I was driving truck didn't last very long but I did get to go coast-to-coast and see a lot of places I'd like to get a van live off my Social Security if I live long enough to get to go back and see some of those places and a lot of other new place and actually be able to stop and take it all in Try to enjoy it I will have to try those skillet nachos dude that looks really good
I had my first Buffalo burger in Wall SD!
The Badlands are awesome and so are your videos and drone footage ! listen we live in Maine and noticed your Maine plate in your sweet van ! what is the scoop behind the plate ?
I go to Maine every year...then to N.H. up by Canada. Love the area.
maine the final frontier check out the sratton / eustis area and check out the sunken ghost town of flagstaff lake alot of sweet boondocking areas
Wow
Love your videos. Like that you seem like a down to earth all around nice guy. Want to get a van and set it up just like yours. I am digging all the quality alone time you get with social interactions as needed. I'm just thinking there are a couple of things stopping me... fear of no consistent income with 401K ... fear of boggy man in some of those isolated places. I'm thinking hard on this tho... i have my eye on a van and keep mentally listing all the things at home that i really don't need. It seems like it would take forever to sell off all this stuff!!!! I have even gone as far as to start making a pile of things to get rid of. Getting itchy feet in Missouri :-)
scary, I would have been on pins and needles waiting to get blown over
