    I have enjoyed your videos, but I wish you would briefly indicate which roads you drove, more then just saying 'Southern Utah's Badlands'. Maybe it was mentioned here in comments? Did I miss it?

      Sorry. In todays day & age I find it unhealthy for people on social medias to just open up and exploit all of these areas that once were mystical and well kept secrets for many many decades. I try to find the balance in getting out here and showing you guys enough of the scenery to inspire people to come explore the areas… but I want people to come out and discover the areas on their own accord. It will be much more meaningful to people who stumble upon these areas while they seek out their own adventure rather following the footsteps laid out by someone on the social medias. It’s much more healthy for these spots and for nature this way too. Too many spots out here have been ruined due to getting famous on social media. Cheers! And thank you for being part of the channel. Keep on truckin!

      @@LivingTheVanLifebut the best way to preserve all those places will be not having a channel and do not show any of those areas. There are enough guidebooks and web infos to plan a travel. Social medias did so much harm to so many places. Everybody wants to do the same picture as anybody.

    Your videos are so satisfying. From the visuals, to the background music, to just your genuine love of these amazing landscape, its perfection. I just absolutely love your content. I have had similar experiences going out alone in the wilderness and just enjoying the simple life. Unfortunately, I'm not living it full time, but i want to eventually. Every sunmer i take a month off to do exactly what you're doing. And I know exactly how you feel gazing onto the landscape and being emotional at the pure beauty of it all. There's nothing like it. We live in such a beautiful country.
    I've been binging your channel all day. Living vicariously through you for a little time has been so great. I know eventually I'll be living this life. Your videos have definitely solidified that notion. Thank you so much for your videos. Your love and passion for your adventures is palpable through the screen.
    PS, your van is a beautiful beast-tank and I'm so jealous.

She called it "mock tacos" and it consisted of a layer of Fritos on a plate topped with ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, onions (although I didn't like onions as a kid) and taco sauce. We ate it with a fork. As a kid, I thought it was the coolest dinner ever. I'm gonna try you Frito pie recipe. Great video.
