  • *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!

    Thanks for the video. I always look forward to it. I was looking at the side of your van and I thought it would make a good movie screen. It’d be neat to have a small projector for outdoors movies. Have a little speaker of even Bluetooth headphones. Cheers.

    Wonderful video and commentary. I was excited to see all the creosote and how green it was. I was trying to imagine the smell; it's one of my favorite scents. I've been sick for so long in a sticks and bricks I'm longing to get back on the road. I'll finally be heading to Idaho mid-June. Cannot wait to get back on the road. Happy Trails. ☮️

    April tends to be the snowiest month of the year in Colorado. The ski resorts will close because business falls off as spring comes to the lower elevations and people go back to golf, bicycling, tending their yards and other pursuits. I had a home there for 14 years at 9100 feet elevation in Dillon. We’d never go until the second week of June because many years there’d be at least one more snow the first week. Not one that would prevent travel but would certainly muck up the roads as the big melt continued. I also enjoy the smell of creosote after rain. Matter of fact I have one planted in my yard here in Tucson. I wrote a poem on the subject some years ago. I’ll include it here. Enjoy your videos immensely. All the best.
    Desert After Rain
    There's life affirming fragrance in the desert after rain,
    Emitting from the creosote, which some folks have disdained.
    In the highly cultured gardens, where the hoity toity dwell,
    Plants are carefully chosen, sans of desert smell.
    Native dwelling fauna, that call Sonora home,
    In harmonious communion, live with flora in the loam.
    The brown and speckled cactus wren, with loud and raspy voice,
    In the branches of the Greasewood, taking insects of it choice.
    The natives of the region, used for medicine it's leaves,
    To cure the dreaded fevers, and brew their healing teas.
    They've lived upon the desert, ten millennia and more,
    The Larrea tridentate, with water that they store.
    In bible times the burning bush, in which God to Moses spoke,
    Stood a flaming testimony, but was not consumed in smoke.
    Those who've studied ancient history, feel the creosote's the tree,
    Representing God's own people, captive, yearning to be free.
    So as I wander yonder, on the land of little rain,
    Regard the humble creosote, who some have called their bane.
    When the gentle mist is falling, I inhale the fresh perfume,
    Feeling blessed beyond all measure, with the desert in her bloom.
    Some things defy description, it's not easy to covey,
    The nourished, sated feeling, on a rainy desert day.
    When all nature stands rejoicing, giving thanks to God above,
    For the life renewing water, the soul renewing love.
    David Brunk, August 7, 2013

    New Mexico was just like that when we were there in 2021. North of Queen at a hanggliding site the wind would be perfect the 15 minutes later it sounded like a roaring ocean and 40 mph. Got snowed on a couple times and wind. But the quiet and beautiful countryside was great.

    Just so you know you don't necessarily have to do anything special for me to enjoy your videos. Living out of some kind of vehicle on public lands is actually much like living anywhere else. It's made up of simply living. Cooking, cleaning, maintaining things, just being.
    The big difference is for some of us with certain personalities is we just enjoy it more being surrounded by nature and peace and quiet if we can find it. Take good care you two and your little dog too.

    When the winds get bad, do you put the front of your van into the wind? I stayed at the wind river casino last year and a storm was passing thru. I don't remember what the wind speed was ,but it was rocking the rv pretty good so I started it up and pointed it into the wind and turned it off and it rocked a lot less.

I agree that its up to each driver to wait until these roads are dry enough for travel. Thanks for making a point of that. Pizza looks delish!! 😊
