Like minded people tend to congregate. Brian’s followers are probably more ambiverts and introverts. I really enjoy Brian and Kelly’s low key energy and temperament coming thru the videos.
I used to watch you a year or so earlier, then I lost you! Now that I found you last month, I promise not to misplace you again! I thoroughly enjoy you cinematography. Your views are absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so very much for sharing your time with us. It is greatly appreciated. BJ.
Some of the things I love about Brian: he drives slow, he cooks, he is humble, very talented and creative but most of all he’s real. Oh, and did I mention he shaves his head with a dog trimmer.
Brian, I am 63 years old, my dad moved us to the Arizona desert in 1969, at first I thought it was hell on earth! Not anymore, this state is so beautiful, the scenery is so diverse! Have you ever explored Rutger lake area in south eastern AZ? Give it a thought if not!
Great video Brian! I grew up in Coolidge, about 20 miles north of Picacho Peak State Park. Back in the 70's I was headed back to the UofA where I was a student after a weekend visiting my parents. As I passed Picacho Peak area I could see a lot of dust in the air. When I looked a little closer I saw riders on horse back, some in Confederate uniforms & others in Union uniforms. They were having a re-enactment of The Battle of Picacho Pass, also known as the Battle of Picacho Peak that occurred on April 15, 1862. It is supposedly the most westerly fought battle during the Civil War. It took me by surprise for a minute, especially passing it at about 75 miles an hour!
Hey, White teardrop trailer here (Robert) It's fun hanging around other people But it's always nice getting off on your own and enjoying the peace and tranquility. That sure was a fun Meetup. Some awesome people everyone I talk to was so down to earth and friendly kind of restores your faith in humanity in these crazy times we're living in. Enjoy
What sets Brian's UA-cam channel apart from most channels is the fact that he is honest, real, and genuine. Where as a lot of channels portray one thing and end up being totally the opposite, it's all a "GRAND ILLUSION" .....
@@stratos175escape7 Just watch their videos, after awhile you can see discrepancies that shed a light on the false narrative. It's reality tv and it's purely for entertainment.
@@stratos175escape7 I worked for UA-cam for 8 years and part of my job was to make sure the videos passed all the criteria when it came to content ID so the channels wouldn't get penalized with a copyright strike so I have watched 1000's of videos, I'm no expert but I'm able to easily see the difference between truth and dishonesty, and that's why I enjoy the music channels more, especially 17 year old Lucy Thomas Music, she is amazing, especially the video she dropped yesterday, she's performing Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" and omg, it's phenomenal.......
I think I know what you're saying. I go back and forth between wanting to edit my videos "more professionally" to just putting them together chronologically.
Wow this was a good one. Setting up the fire pit, cutting the wood and setting the fire, transitioned into the sunset view with the cactus and the mountain - had my jaw on the floor. Never stop being you man, I will keep watching.
Brian, you seem to have a very peaceful soul. I feel so calm just watching you go about your day. I know you have the peace of the Lord Living within you. God bless you my brother. Louise
When do you know you're a true nomad? When you can anticipate, almost exactly, where your fellow Nomad is headed as you watch his video. How fun is that? Love the IN THE KITCHEN WITH BRIAN segments!! 🤗
What a pleasant surprise to come home from a long work day on a Friday and settle in and watch Brian share his meet up round-up and travel onto a serene and picturesque desert campsite where he can enjoy solitude and relaxation. We love your peaceful and positive energy and thank you for touching the lives of so many.
I just snorted coffee, I was so surprised at seeing you mimic the cactus and started laughing. It's moments like that that make Brian my favorite van lifer. 😁✌️ (Edit: I had to go back and add that this was one of the best videos I have seen, what a great vibe and just overall really satisfying to see your whole day. Man, you are living the life. 💖
Thank you Brian for sharing yourself at the meetup! I re-met people i hadn't seen in over two years along with comradery of new friends and dogs! I had been on a three week vacation from Solana Beach in San Diego after my Husband passed. Driving over the mountains into SD at night reveils massive lit concrete cities, I'm quiting my job in two weeks to do a turnaround in my Toy Dolfin back to Nomad life!!
I love watching your videos ! Where’s Kelly I miss seeing her with you! I love to watch you cook that dinner looked yummy! We’ll have safe travels and I hope to see Kelly next time❤️
I liked it so much. I got one. Saved a bunch of money living I one for a year. It was essentially like living in my studio in boulder, Colorado . No one knew I was inside . It was hilarious. I would park close to events and listen to the people chatter. And then drive into the mountains only 5 minutes away. Pretty awesome experience. Especially being able to stand up . Standing up changed the game.
Always a treat watching your videos! A perfect blend of beautiful nature, easy travel, delicious looking food & the real YOU! 😃 My memories of the meetup will last my lifetime! I plan to attend the next one...and am looking forward to it already! Thanks for putting yourself & your GREAT videos out there!! "Follow Your Dreams!!!" 🙏
Back on the road after all those people. In a way it's a relief I'm sure. I don't do too well around a lot of people for a long period of time. It's okay for a short time. Thanks for the video and God Bless Bee--Ryan.
A few days of quiet was just the right thing after all of the "peopling". Wonderful as they may be, it's nice to take a break. You chose a great spot too.
Bless you for stepping out of your comfort zone to give some of yourself to others. It's always rewarding in the end. So glad you had such a nice turnout. I would have loved to been there to meet you.
oh Brian that spot you picked is gorgeous. I envy. I live in central Pennsylvania and we are currently having snow and it is like 22 degrees. enjoy it buddy you deserve it. please take care and be safe.
Hey Brian, your camp is a few hundred yards from where I spent a couple of weeks in December. It's a very peaceful spot, and I definitely enjoyed it there. If you continue down to the southeast towards Tombstone and Bisbee there is a fabulous boondocking area right at the base of the Dragoon Mountains. Also, I highly suggest a stop at Whitewater Draw which is about 30 minutes from Tombstone. All the Best, Dan
Liked seeing your van setup inside with the two counters and spice rack. I especially liked the wood stain. I like how you blend beautiful nature scenes such as the saguaro into your videos along with your cooking scenes. Your homemade wooden fork is so cool . I love the desert.
Thanks for meeting up with all of us. I really enjoyed meeting you and all the others. I only stayed the first night but I made your campfire photo. Thanks. See you down the road.✌
I really got a kick out of the haircut, I try to recruit someone to help me. One thing about a burr haircut... you really can't screw it up! Great video as always!
Thanks for the update Brian. Great location you found, all the green and much older Saguaro cactus' Enjoy the solitude. I would be the same way. I plan on being out next year if you do another event. I start my travels around June up in Canada near NY
Hey Brian..it was a very fun meet up. Always good to see and camp with you..met a bunch of new people ! Love watching you cook..even tho I cook a fair amount I get new ideas watching you 👍😁 Take care and we'll see you down the road my friend ✌️
Excellent, all around relaxing video. Oh and the 🏜️ is calling me and I must go. Thank you for all that you show us. Beautiful scenery and delicious grubins. Till next time...
Brian the photography is beautiful. You do a good job videoing. Wish I could be with you to experience the colorful sunset. You cook a good meal. The haircut looks good. I must say I envy your travels and adventures. Take care my love, stay safe and beware of false prophets 🕊🕊🌞🌞❤️❤️🍺🍺👍👍🌹🌹🙏🙏😇😇🇺🇸🇺🇸
Brian, Elton. And Lutonia Left there went to Yuma stayed there then up to Gilbert outside phenoix we bought a solar panel at San Tan solar for 39.00 we are in Tucson now! We were ones in Blue Handicapped van!
Well Brian, looks like as I metioned before all went well glad everyone enjoyed them self's. Now it's quit time and get back on the road. Looks like the spot you found is just the ticket. Ok, well till next time "Enjoy The Adventure." PEACE!!
Looks like u had a good time. I watched several videos from the people who camped with u. They really love u. It was sweet of u to host the meet up. Hope Kelly is doing well. I like ur camp chair. Do u remember the name of it and where u got it?
A lot of the RV UA-camrs I watch are in AZ now, I am loving that so many of you come to my/our beautiful State. I am a 73 year old RVer and have lived in AZ full time for 27 awesome years. I love seeing all of you enjoying AZ. I am glad your meet up was such a success.

I've been cutting my hair with dog trimmers for 6yrs. On my 2nd set. Used to fade now I buzz it all. I understand Brian completely.
Thank you for not listing all of my faults...it would be a long paragraph! 🤣👍🏼✌🏼
@@AdventureVanMan You are also laid back and humble. My kinda guy 👍 Really enjoy your video's. Keep on truckin!

I think we have this in common: being with good people is great, but it makes the solitude afterward that much sweeter.

Sorry but I have to ask how many UA-cam creators have you actually met to make this statement?

Sc1212able as you say “a lot of channels” not all. I wonder what impact that would have had in the sad case of Gabby Petito R.I.P.

Another great van life video Brian. Always a pleasure watching these.
Hi Wiley, I also enjoy your videos, especially your deer !
I hope to catch you on the road again somewhere, sometime down the road, Happy trails !
Use a Cake pan upside Down with a wood knob to lift it Off,Cheap,Easy!!!!!!
What an awesome lifestyle you have.

Outstanding meet up Brian you've made a lot of people happy, but it's draining. So time out take it easy.❤️🙏
I'm really liking the boxvan. It's great to be able to stand up inside.

Nice shave and a cut, Brian! Safe travels and thanx again for another relaxing vid.✌️back at you!
Miss the gorgeous hair. And, hair balances out a person.

Man Brian, I know I said this before but.......Im LOVING this type of content bro!
A few days of quiet was just the right thing after all of the "peopling". Wonderful as they may be, it's nice to take a break. You chose a great spot too.
Was great to meet you Brian! Looking forward to videos of your travels.
I like how well organized and efficient you are, right down to hygiene.
Hey Brian, you were at my favorite Walmart in the foothills in Yuma. If I ever see you there I'll make sure I say hi.
Bless you for stepping out of your comfort zone to give some of yourself to others. It's always rewarding in the end. So glad you had such a nice turnout. I would have loved to been there to meet you.
👍👍✌️relaxing
I liked the part where you were standing behind the cactus with your arms out LOL. Dinner looked delicious!
What a perfect day in the desert! Thanks for the video Brian.
oh Brian that spot you picked is gorgeous. I envy. I live in central Pennsylvania and we are currently having snow and it is like 22 degrees. enjoy it buddy you deserve it. please take care and be safe.
Place mushroom first, then 2 min later add the onions, a min later the garlic. Use olive oil & butter.

I've never been to the desert southwest so I appreciate your close up of the cactus and other plants.
Thank you for having us along.

I have PTSD and your adventures and photography is better than any treatment 😎

Blue Bell the best ice cream in the country. Brian you picked the best to eat. Great video, have a great week. God Bless.
Lol! Your standing imitation of the big cactus was cute. Such beautiful scenery & solitude areas. Safe travels.
You too can become a saguaro cactus. 🌵🌞Cuteness. Love your little home so much - so cozy and efficient.
Only thing missing at that nice fire you made were some marshmallows for roasting. 🙂
🎶Just gotta poke around!🎶✌🏻
That cactus is huge!
Great video 👍🏽
Thanks for the update Brian. Great location you found, all the green and much older Saguaro cactus' Enjoy the solitude. I would be the same way. I plan on being out next year if you do another event. I start my travels around June up in Canada near NY
Nice peaceful day. Looks like all is back to normal now. Enjoy. Thanks for all your hard work.
That warm desert looks great. Those of us in colder climes watch this video wistfully.

Brian the photography is beautiful. You do a good job videoing. Wish I could be with you to experience the colorful sunset. You cook a good meal. The haircut looks good. I must say I envy your travels and adventures. Take care my love, stay safe and beware of false prophets 🕊🕊🌞🌞❤️❤️🍺🍺👍👍🌹🌹🙏🙏😇😇🇺🇸🇺🇸

I like how the mushrooms magically pop up on you cutting board.
GOOD MORNING MIJITO 👋
JUST TO SAY THANK FOR THE JOURNEY 💝
SAFE TRAVEL'S EVERYONE, ONWARD BOUND ✌
That pop up fire pit is slicker than snot on a doorknob!👍🏻
That's been my procedure for hair cuts once or twice per month since I got out of the Army...in 1995 😳🤣👍 Did so last night before shower 😁✌
Best part is the cooking !
My wife and I lived in Marana, AZ, Dove Mountain area, for about 2.5 years. You’re pretty close to there.
Nice secluded area you settled down on for a few days.🌵
Your camp dinner puts my full-kitchen cooking to shame! A beautiful video.
You pick nice campsite, nice sunset
Beautiful kitchen. Yummy scenes.
A lot of the RV UA-camrs I watch are in AZ now, I am loving that so many of you come to my/our beautiful State. I am a 73 year old RVer and have lived in AZ full time for 27 awesome years. I love seeing all of you enjoying AZ. I am glad your meet up was such a success.
Enjoy your rejuvenating time. I enjoy watching it. That meal looked wonderful.
lol had me laughing when you did the cactus arms. 😊☮
Talk about living the slow life 👌🙌
Nice little tune on the cactus thorns.
Brian...smooth'n it as always👍🚐
drove the i10 back and forth between Phoenix and Tucson many times when I went to UofA. I miss it.
I like the last camp you have there looks like a good place to re change ✌🏼
I love your fire pit Brian! Very cool accessory to have on hand!
And away we go...thanks again Brian❣️
I'm in Page.... chilly today
Pretty isolated after your big meet up.
Solitude, ahhhh 😌
Nice Brian. Love your vids. Marana is awesome. It does get chilly a night, but the daytime is awesome in the desert.
Hi from Canada West Coast. So great to see your life in Arizona in January. Love the saguaro and blue sky and I like the places you choose to camp.
Thank you for sharing your adventures. It's inspiring thank you
Good times
You are living your best life. We should all do the same. Peace. ✌🏽
I am getting hungry looks good.
