- Thanks to Luis for the inspiration to make pizza!!In this video I depart camp and head into Yuma, Arizona to re-supply before finding the next camp. We go exploring to find water at the Colorado River. Then back to camp to try my first attempt at making my own pizza dough and cooking pizza over coals with a cast iron skillet.
Thank You For Being Here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

Something magical about desert lakes, pizza and sunsets! Awesome video
Thanks Nick! Hope things are good with you! 🤙🏼
Congrats on your pizza turning out so delicious! Y’all be safe out there! Safe travels.❤
Love the water scenery. I was camping in Havasu for the last week, and it was such a treat to see and spend time by the water. Happy travels.
Long live Luis' pizza!
you and your pretty companion are living the life thank you for taking us along.
You're probably already gone, but I had a huge rodent problem at Mittry Lake. They built a nest right underneath the main wiring thingy and chewed through some wires. After replacing multiple sensors, I finally decided to check the wires and saw the nest. A few quick splices and the problem was solved, but not before I unnecessarily spent a few hundred dollars.
yeah, they can be a pain. I try to inspect my engine bay on a daily basis.👍🏼
The best way to start my day. Watching your adventures. Thank you so much.
That did look tasty. Great video. Thank you.
Groceries are ballistic, pizza looked great, glad to see you and Kelley enjoying
Well done on your 1st homemade based pizza Brian, it looked amazing, like you say you're it's a work in progress, but I'd be very happy being presented with that.
Keep up the great videos.
Hi guys. Another great video. I am in Texas and have been paying around $2.87 for gas which has been wonderful. Great weather the last few days especially considering back home the are getting like two feet of snow. Had to move the camp at night-let the adventure continue. Great words to live by "don't trespass on hunting clubs land". That was epic the way you delivered it.
I’m in Texas right now love the gas prices.
$2.94 Ohio
Great looking pizza, love the sun set. And away we go.
I love Mule Sauce from Sticker Mule. I always have a few bottles around because I do so much business with them.
When I heard the solid crunch of your first bite of pizza, my mouth dropped and watered and spontaneously I said “oh my!”
Wow Brian a magical video thanks for sharing!!! Pizza and the sky … Amazing
Like always...love your choice of background music..and beautiful views of the land scapes..!
Good job. It’s not just about how a pizza looks, “dough” that’s important, but what’s more important is that it tastes good, fills you up and doesn’t coast $20 or $30 bucks. 🍕🌵🚐🖖🏻👍🏻🌵
Hey there folks, right on with the pizza; looked and sounded divine when you bit into it! 😀💜✌
XT2 fitties! Then pizza! OMG!
Some beautiful skies, smiles(Kelly's & your's) and pizza 🍕 ✌️
Mice 🐁 🐁 yeah I'm with Kelly on that one! When I was a kid, once, one 🐁 ran up my dad's trousers. Freaked me out!!!
👍up on that pizza 🍕 😋 ✌
Ok, that pizza looked delicious! I'm going to give it a shot... I'll let you know!🙃😁
Mice are such a pain. They are always chewing wiring! I had to armor up all my wiring on my cube van with that split plastic wire loom stuff and wrapped that in 3m electrical tape to hold it in place. Last time they chewed up my wiring it cost me $350 including a tow - ick.
I use a battery powered ultrasonic repeller in my engine bay. Emits sound and light. Seems to work for under the hood.👍🏼
@@AdventureVanMan Can you please recommend the specific one, Brian?
When I make pizza like that I try to heat the pan before putting the crust in and then bake the crust a little before throwing the toppings on. Looked very good.
I'll tell ya, it's hard to complain when you can have everyone's favorite food, pizza, making it fresh and serving it up hot out in the middle of nowhere. Take care and travel on !!
You found some beautiful spots. Beautiful color of the water. Great drone footage. Pizza looked great!! Maybe sometime try tortillas when you don't have time to make crust. It's thin and works great. 🙂👍
Great pizza experiment; you had a pretty good teacher. Kelly is the coolest! Glad she has a job she can do on the road this year. Brian, your videograpny and composition is so enjoyable, and the spots you fiend are so calming. Keep safe and well. ✌❤🍕
Pizza looked delicious... Awesome sunset too 😁
Drive safe 🤙🏻
You see what Luis started
What a view ! That’s where you should be camping!good job on the pizza, Louie taught you well!the more you make the easier it get, high to Kelly,bye for now ,keep happy & safe Elaine from Queensland, Australia.
Mouth is watering .... yuuum!
That lake was beautiful ❤️ what a lovely place for a picnic. It's going up to 70 here today near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and the birds are singing away. Making me long for spring and my hummingbirds return. Looking forward to your next video. Love you guys 💟‼️
Hello there a fellow Pennsylvanian. I live on the outskirts of jersey shore Pennsylvania, lycoming County. I can't wait for spring weather too. Sick of this snow and just the cold.
@@jennyhackenberg hi Jenny, I have been passed Jersey shore many times in our travels on vacations. We haven't really gotten any snow here. No major winter storms this year. It's like there's no winter this year. I bought really good new snow boots thinking we'd get hammered and nothing LOL.
@Teresa P. yeah we have been mostly getting stuff like freezing rain .
Hello. The pizza looks so delicious! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚
☮️
Pizza on the plains in a pan!
Yay! 🍕
Born and raised from Yuma, during the winter we supply the whole US with winter veggies, not just the west coast; Salinas does the veggies during the summer time. After living with and taking care of my recently deceased elderly mother with dementia for 10 years, I became jobless and homeless the moment she passed so I got a '99 GMC Savana high top van and started living in it. Right now I'm waiting for my disability case to be approved, tons physically wrong with me, but I'm looking forward to boondocking and traveling. I'm staying with friends on their property in the Foothills in Yuma. Rattlesnakes are out now... They're waking up so take care.
The bike ride took you out to a very scenic area! Loved the contrast between the dry desert and the water. Great results on the pizza. I swear I could taste it!
I totally agree with Kelly about the mice!!!! I had some in my house once and almost broke down and bought a cat, and I hate cats
Looked like an awesome day & adventure!
Nice.
That pizza looks great. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Pizza looks delicious 😋❤
I can't help but every time I find a little secluded Lake... Pill down to my skivvies and go for a swim! It's a compulsion!!!!
Neat new campsite, lol no one can squeeze in next to you, no spooners allowed👍 Fantastic pizza! Sensei Louis will be so proud of you! More to come…..artichokes and mozzarella chunks, a few anchovies, fresh basil leaves, tomatoes and more👍 You two have a great weekend!!
I make my own dough too. I can make an entire pizza from flour and yeast to eating in one hour. You'll roll the dough thinner but dont cook it too long or it'll turn into cardboard. The left over dough can be kept in the fridge and tastes even better after a few days, easier to work with too.
Serenity now 🙏... Thank you 💖 Pizza look good too 😉
Always excited to see you have posted a video. 🙂 thank you for the effort it takes to bring us along on your journey. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Delicious looking pizza, and Kelly’s haircut looks great.
Great video as always! I recently got gas for $1,99 unfortunately it was at Taco Bell. Stay safe and be blessed!
YUMMY!!!!!! Enjoy the road and smooth travels.
Love the camping spots, Great looking pizza, awesome son set. And away we go.
Brian, that pizza looked sooooo good! Also thought you choice of motor oil is top notch. I know you're quite efficient at managing expenses, which had me thinking. I realize you work several jobs over the year, but believe it or not the online free tax software is very easy and just as secure. Tax preparers use similar or often the same software, and the process has been incredibly simplified. Filing your own taxes saves big dollars, and Turbo Tax is totally free. Wishing you well!
Yummmmmmy
For desert pizza, that looked pretty damn good! Everybody knows the rules.
Nice video!! Thank you for posting. I like the way you get to nice spots on your dirt bike, places not easily accessible by van. Yes, cabbage over lettuce, lasts longe, great idea, will try. Have you tried finely shredded cabbage (mix red and green) tossed with peanut sauce (make your own) = one plate meal, amazing! try it. If you like a quick thin crust stove top pizza, try flour tortillas instead of making dough, and top them with your favorite pizza toppings, cooks in 5 minutes or less. You can make calzone the same way using a little olive oil to grease the pan. I am just learning all this from UA-camrs myself, lots of clever ideas! I like to see you cook, you should create a van life cook book with quick and easy recipes or do you have one out already? Much enjoy your videos.
YUMMY! Pizza!
Beautiful country you guys were exploring. That pizza looked amazing..Luis would be proud ! 😁👍✌️
Mice 🐭…😮 I would be finding a new place to camp, too 😅😂… The bike journey was epic ~ those lake views-WOW❣️💓❣️ Pizza 🍕 made my mouth water 💦-but, Brian, hot sauce on pizza, come on…😂❤
Wow that looks like a wonderful Pizza !!! You should write a cookbook . Bet lots of people would buy it. !!
GREAT LOOKING pizza my friend 💯👍🔥 U ROCK!
Great video, so fun, love to see your cooking skills, I'm beginning to believe van life men are some of the best cooks.
yum ~~~ THANK U FOR GREAT ADVENTURE ~~~~
I make dutch oven pizza all the time. I cut a baking stone to fit the bottom of the oven, and it makes a world of differnce in the heat disipation and even cooking of your dough. I have always made from scratch pizza dough, however, I do not let it rise because I like ultra thin crust. 2thumbs up to yall. Iv said before, if ever in west central AR you have a place to stay with full hook ups on my 4 acre homestead. Nice country views of the Ouachita Mountains.
Lovely down by that lake 😍
So much beauty, and you've captured it so well!
Very cool video, the campsite by the water was nice. So many trails to explore. I just purchased a Kawasaki KLX 300 dual sport. Going to trailer it like you do. Can't wait to get out and do some off- roading with it....
Brian I had to say this Kelly's looking really good I like the hairstyle she has!
Oh it looks delicious and the desert is so beautiful! Loved this video Brian and Kelly.
Good one. Even in a van we still manage to eventually accumulate stuff. You are a true Gypsy now 😉😁
Brian, Interesting Travels In Exploring & Shop'n Trip. Safe Travels. always, Tommy🤠
Thank you for sharing your adventures
Pizza looked good
Nice sun set to end the day
I want to do this when I retire. Hopefully I won’t be too old by then
LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE GETTING A GOOD WINTER TAN, TOO!
Hi Brian, when you took the pizza off the stove you said " the dough looks proper " I'm from Cornwall in the southwest of England we say " proper job " but a good looking pizza👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Is that Louie's pizza dough recipe? Loved the videos you and he did together up in Quartzsite! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Pizza looks great. I've never tried one camping, now I want to. The only thing I'd add is Arizona Gunslinger. The very best in pizza hot sauce. Safe travels.
Beautiful sky . Looking good 🍕
It's nice to be caught up on your videos so I'm current. Lol yummy looking pizza! I have always enjoyed cooking outside. Happy trails!
Great scenery and good job on the pizza! I have a Yamaha WR250R and my daughter rides a Kawasaki KLX250S. We love to van travel with our bikes in tow from BC down to Death Valley and Moab to explore and camp. Looking forward to more adventures like yours throughout the southwest next winter.
Made me hungry awesome looking pizza!
Luis will have sonething to say about that! Lol pizza looks great! Love Senator Wash!
i am a baker for many years, and once you make your own dough, you never go back lolol looked good!!! 👍👍👍
I don't know why I had such reservations with using yeast!?! 👍🏼
@@AdventureVanMan everyone is scared or nervous about it , at first :-)) it's just the most wonderful thing to create such deliciousness with your own hands :-))) i've taught several buddies to bake bread( they were also nervous at first) .. just fabulous process and can be incredible meditative , 😁😁
glad you had success ..
You can buy premade yeast pizza dough in many store. Once it's baked I can't tell the difference.
Wow, that pizza looks good. Great video, I really enjoy your style. 👍👍
Thank you for sharing 😎😎
The Pizza Looks delicious! I am Italian and you DID GOOD!! I love that you try new things. Now I want pizza LOL
Looks good guys
It's always a good idea when you park in a large store parking lot to look for a store security camera on top of the light pole. If you have someone breaking into your van while shopping, there will be some kind of video footage.
Your pizza came out great! From here the sky’s the limit 🍕😀🌵I have to say thanks for your drone work, let’s me see some of our camping areas from a different perspective, loving the Moro adventures you guys are doing. Being able to explore the areas that camp , how great is that! Hi to Kelly 😀☮️
Wonderful video. Pizza makes me wonder if I could do that?
Maybe. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
you can do it!👍🏼
We are still working in our homemade pizzas. Even though they may not be perfect they are still good.
Great video 👍🏼❤
Awesome! Enjoy.
Great video. I liked seeing your grocery store haul! Great job on the pizza!
I'm impressed, flying a drone while on the bike.
Pizza looks good. I like to make my own too. Here's a couple of things I do (in case you don't do them) that make the Pizza come out awesome. I use olive oil in the pan, and it crisps the crust very well. Then I brush the rim with olive oil and sprinkle salt and garlic powder on the rim. It gives the bare crust of the rim some good flavor.
🦋
Cool, great sun set 🥰
Pillsbury makes a good pizza dough you take it out and let it rise and add some olive oil on it and put your toppings on it and bake it I don't have the patience to make my own dough. But that looks pretty good. your ride was really nice too thanks for the invite you two take care.
Pizza is looking good nice & crunchie !
Your drone shots always add a lot to my enjoyment of your videos. Thanks.
