ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.
#vanlife #californiaroadtrip
and of course as always flying a drone in any National or State Park is illegal. Whenever you see a drone shot it is flying in the nearby National Forest (where it is legal). Please always respect local drone laws so we can all continue to enjoy the sky! ✈️
Hey I meant no ill-will with the comment above. I do appreciate we can all have our opinions.
But only to be clear - are you stating the footage from 16:17-16:28 is not within park boundaries?
You have posted (what appears to be), to a monetized channel, a pretty clear violation of a firm regulation, with a timestamp. You of course have your opportunity to argue your logic - and it may be sound - it only appears from an outsiders view as a definite, likely provable, infringement.
@@lawidhalm then why comment. The few seconds can be outside of the park. If you debate that then you do not trust them and should not bother to comment.
@@lawidhalm All monetized filming is illegal in the park boundaries. Technically they need to apply for permits to film in the parks because they are making money off of it.
Explotation of our parks is a nasty thing to say. But if you want to make money off of it, do it legally.
Leave no trace, leave it better than you found it, and contribute to make it beautiful for years to come.
We LOVE this area so much! KINGS canyon and sequoia are just other worldly. The trees are incredible.
Wow good to know you need to drive up a bit to get to the forest!!
Two places to take in while there are Morro Rock and Crystal Cave, if open due to Covid-19.
This video is great! California's National Parks are on another level!
I LOVED Fins reaction to seeing the Sequoia trees. It was so genuine and heart warming. Instant subscribe!
I wonder if you have gone down to Cedar Grove for the Kings Canyon. Video ended up only in princess campground. Kings Canyon is my favorite place and have gone down there multiple times. Scary drive due to deep canyon but it is so scenic drive. Point of interest-Hume Lake, Boyden Cavern, Roaring Falls, Zumualt Meadow. Cedar Grove Village has restaurant next to the river. We usually get breakfast there and find a spot next to the River bank with beautiful tall pine trees and river. It is nice to see the reaction for first timers to see the Sequoia trees, it bring back memories on first seeing it.
As you go up to Sequoia is a Hospital Rock picnic area. There is a short trail down to see the mini waterfall, boulder and river. Just beautiful to take photos and stay for the day.
Across Potwisha campground is another short walk for another mini waterfall and has a suspension bridge to cross. Nice place to swim, hang out of the day, take beautiful photos. There are so many neat places all over Sequoia and Kings Canyon. I still have not been to all of them and I'm local.
Thanks for sharing this video and hope you have more time next time!
Have you ever been to Montecito Sequoia Lodge?!
First comment! Yay!😁👏🏻. Loved this vlog!
Back traveling! Whoop Whoop!!
I’m glad that you guys can experience all of this being so young
I literally was board out of my mind and ran into your NZ travel episode; simply WOW, your presentation is so natural and real. As a fellow globe trotter, I wish you both absolutely the best and will be following your episodes from here on. 👍👍
I am so happy for you guys to see this national park. My Father took us there is the 70s. Never forget it. Where are you guys from? The National parks in California are in a class by themselves. No matter how dysfunctional the state government may become these parks remain fixed in place.
My favorite thing about sequoia is the element of surprise. Once you get to the top your mind is blown! And that kings canyon drive is amazing!
I love Sequoia NP. I went there many times as a child. In 2019 I was able to take my sons to Yosemite and Sequoia. It was an amazing trip and one I will cherish for many years.
every bit is beautiful and very scenic. Music played is excellent. Love it. Thank you Tim and Fin.
Aww I love this. Great job, guys! Super fun, smart, and enthralling.
I must say the landscapes there are fantastic,
I love your tour !!!
This was great! We did a Californian road trip last year, and went to Sequoia! It was so nice seeing it again! I cant wait to see where else you go!
Not sure if you continued down to Cedar Grove, but next time go all the way down to Roads End!!! EPIC canyon drive!! There is Boyden Cave along the way. Also, the RIVER!! It's low in August, especially this year. We live in Visalia and go every few weeks for the day due to campgrounds closed right now. If you missed it, GO NEXT TIME!! Have fun here in Cali 👍👍
The information was helpful! You all's just make me laugh 😆 🤣 looking forward to the next video!!!
CA is very different from one road to the next. Don’t blink. I loved Fin’s reaction. Enjoy
Thanks absolutely gorgeous 😍 add these to the bucket list safe and happy travels 😃👍✌️🚐👣🐾👣
California IS a beautiful state.
I love your adventures! Y’all do amazing work and have the best job in the 🌎!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Truly a wonderful place, definitely one of the places I am going.💜
Iam new subscriber Arabic lady citizen thank you for showing us such magnificent landscapes beauty of nature actually we as foreigners be very happy to explore places unknown to us you encourage us to read information about places you visit you as guide tourist would you mind if i added some main information about places you visited alright iwish for your channel more success and progress good luck to you stay safe blessed
I couldn't agree more!!!! Even as a US citizen Tim and Fin have inspired my girlfriend and I to start our RUclips Channel to learn more about this beautiful world we live in and explore all of the unknown destinations out there!!
You are so energetic guys !!!
I’m local. It only takes 45 mins to an hour from the south entrance to general Sherman parking lot if you don’t stop along the way.
Oo thanks good info!
Thank you for showing! You both are awesome... this is my area. We love living near these beautiful mountains.
Gorgeous!
Great video and great tips! I look forward to seeing the notification that you have posted a new video!
We were up there at the end of July for a three day adventure. LOVE our national parks. Great video. : )
Amazing how much you can see and explore with only a van.
Very helpful!!! Thx
You guys are looking great, stay safe. Denver out.
i have been waiting for a whole week just watch your video, although i don't know too much about the US, even those beautiful national parks, but you guys had a good videos and i love watching your videos , drive safe and enjoy your trip.
awesome images, as always! love the info about which campground you are staying in and how much it cost, that really helps with trip planning :) cheers from Austria!
We just got back from a 10 day trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We LOVED IT so much and got a ton of good info from yall's videos there. It was so nice to travel again and I'm glad y'all are out again too! We can't wait to see new videos from y'all. Now to begin planning our next trip!
PS: We bought a set of your packing cubes and the backpack and both worked perfect for what we needed. The backpack was the perfect size for day hikes in the parks and was super small to fit in our carry on luggage. We will be buying a second set of packing cubes so my wife and I can each have our own set. Left you a 5 star review on Amazon!
you two are awesome
Very first video I have seen of yours. 👏👏👏 You couldn't have picked a worse time to come to California then the timing you have currently, and I know it wasn't planned that way. Now you're dealing with the fires and the closure of national forests. I wish you guys well, and look forward to catching the other Cali videos. Be safe!
Yeah- we were dodging fires left and right. We still had a great time out there- can't believe how much you can see in California in such a short time.
Just picked up second blog and as with first great 👍 and enjoyable blog with a delightful couple,
Really enjoyed watching you guys experience Sequoia and Kings Canyon. I live very close and have been there many times. Your timing was good because they closed the park due to fires last week. Park is ok for now. Be careful not to fly your drone in the National Parks. Not allowed in case you haven’t heard. Keep up the vids. I’m going to catch up on some of your previous ones. Enjoy your stay! UPDATE: I just saw your post about drones LOL
The full body wipes are fantastic. I take a few with me on international travels, on the days when I’m flying, I can feel clean. They were an absolute must flying from New Zealand back to Washington DC. I hope you didn’t run in to any of the fires while you were in California.
You drove past the best place in Sequoia. Round Meadow !! Lots of great trees on a flat loop trail..
Good call vising these national parks. You might also want to see Yosemite and Redwoods NP's while you are in California. Glad you are able to be traveling gain.
Looks like fun. Is there a link to the van rental company it would be helpful. Thanks for sharing your adventure. 😀😀😀😃😃
I was out there last summer in my van. I just happened to be reading Wild Trees. Can't remember author, google it. And also when your video started, I said I've seen that van....Rental, smart move. Subscribed. 🌎🚐✌
Glad you're enjoying the great outdoors again, love your camping videos!❤
Looks like none of your wipes made the recommended list. 🤣
Should be some dude wipes on there!
Thanks for such wonderful content it may not look like this anymore.
wow fabulous
Wonderful views. A lot of my friends are planning to travel to places where you visited once this dreaded virus wreaking havoc the world is annihilated.
Amazing lifestyle
When climbing up on the foothills its not a desert, its more of a chaparral or oak woodland
Yééééé nouvelle aventure oups Yaaaaa new adventure lolol
I get the feeling Tim Is missing a motorbike, while dreaming about girth, Fin 😂😂
wow cool video subbed looking foward to day 2
Welcome Eddie!
My favorite thing to do is tell friends who have never been to Sequoia "this is it" when they see desert the first hour in the park, and then BAM you enter the Giant Forest. Priceless!
😂😂 so good!
Dude wipes are the best!
😂😂😂
Anyone going to kings canyon. DRIVE THE SCENIC BIWAY to the other portion in Kings Canyon NP. Its insane how beautiful it is
this is quite literally in my backyard and now it’s burning in the SQU Complex fire and it makes me so sad knowing this beautiful place is at risk of being gone :(
While you are in the area a must see is The Devil's Postpile Yosemite then travel north to Eureka through Avenue of the Giants.
What you're smelling when you reach that elevation is bear Clover.
Thanks for the video, I've been planning a trip to Sequoia so I've got some good tips from you guys. Couldn't you just wash off in the lake? Like go for a little swim and rinse off and stuff?
Absolutely should’ve done that! That’s my go to move on these campervan trips- bathing during our six weeks in NZ was aReally cold!
Where/how did you rent the van?? That looks way better than the car I have reserved for my trip in 2 weeks!
Oops. Forgot to comment, so here’s one. Nice video 😂
😂😊
Strongly suggest Muir Woods north of San Francisco
You guys are in my backyard you missed a lot of good parts in the park that you could have hit. Driving into Kings Canyon is absolutely amazing. It's called the Kings Canyon because it's deeper than the Grand Canyon sure Granite walls. Almost across the street from Princess Campground up the road a little bit was stump Meadow in the Boule tree. On your way in from Three Rivers if you stopped at hospital Rock and walk by the river there's a bunch of picture glyphs on a big old rock.
I live in California and I live like in the middle so we go on a trip to sequioa national park every month
Nice! #South Africa - Eastern Cape🦏
Is the park wheel chair friendly
How's the cell phone service throughout the park?
What's the California song/music called right at the beginning?
Y’all need to create a backpack dog carrier!
They already exist.
Did anybody in the park stop you to ask for ice cream? LOL
You going to Hearst castle? My oldest brother contiplated paying the fine if you jump in the pool. I’m not sure if you’re heading to Lake Tahoe Via 80, from San Fran, but if you are and you want to have some fun, my brothers, nephew and niece live in the foothills of the Sierra’s and would be glad to host. They ride and know the area. Chris, the oldest of 8 boys, is a trip. It would be a great host. You have to ask him about living in Washington Ca. Love your videos and got my back pack. Safe travels.
Be careful leaving Pepper in the car in California. It is legal for someone to break your car window to “rescue” your dog here. 🐾 Great video, safe travels.
Come to lake Tahoe and Sacramento
Hi! First time watching your videos. What day of the week did you go? I want to go on the 12th, a Saturday(yikes). Thanks
That’s Tim’s birthday! 😊😊 this was a Wednesday
It is good I like your
Crazy how life works, I’m coming home to my Minnie Winnie in MDR, and I see Tim & Fin’s camper van! I wanted to write a cool note on the window, but it’s 1:33am & so since that’s super sketch And they r also parked by some super sketch people aka the tweakers that stay up all night and work on motorbikes lol I’m sending via ur channel. Hope u hang around so we might have a chance to converse, but chances might be slim due to those few people with bad camper etiquette lol (lots of trash hella noise during quiet time etc...) but much love stay safe
We’re up in Big Sur today - probably another couple from the same rental company 😂🥰 thanks for saying hi!
You are young and young people like to go as fast as they can and I dearly hope that as you get older you'll take the time to get to know a place. What you come back with, at this pace, is
a bunch of pictures and the videos you made. I guess it's one way to live, but when I was a kid I chose to spend a weekend in one place backpacking and the only reason to make it so
short is because like most of us then, I had a job during the week. California is full of riches, but you gotta stay awhile to find them all, van or no van.
You must have missed that year we lived in Mexico or 4 months we spent in Vietnam!
@@timandfin Yes, I did. I still mean what I said about Yosemite as I have spent just about every chance I had either in the back country or in Hawaii. I think its great you lived a whole year in Mexico & 4 months in Vietnam, but I haven't viewed those videos (I will). When you go back to Yosemite, hit the high country for at least a couple of days, and maybe the Wawona area for Tom Bopp the piano bar ranger at the bar of the hotel. He is wonderful and full of historical information. Yosemite has a rich American Indian heritage. I recommend Yosemite ranger,Shelton Johnson's book about the Buffalo Soldiers in Yosemite.
I don’t think drones are legal in any National Parks. But great shots. Park looks beautiful.
Hey Kimberly, you're right! All these drone shots are from Sequoia national forest.
You two should go see Kara and Nate they do the same thing!
Is it allowed to fly drone ? Or permit is needed thanks
No, absolutely not. 16:03 is legit criminal admission. They should absolutely edit and take this video down. One bad egg ruins it for all of us - aircrafts absolutely forbidden in the national park system
So bear aware right now.
SO bear aware
I'll be honest, I'm a little bummed you can't get too close to it. I'd want to touch it, and do a real closeup comparison of myself and the tree.
Do u know if you can take a small dog on short paths as long as they are inside a pet Carrier and don’t let them out?
I don't think so. The parks are trying to keep domestic animals away from the natural wildlife.
Haiiiiii
As a birder, I hate seeing dogs on trails because they scare wildlife away. Your dog looks well mannered and cute. However, leave dogs off the trails. Not everyone picks up their dog poo and we have to step around or over it.
It only takes about 45 min to Sherman if you don't stop :)
Great video!!!! i go to sequoia every year and before you enter the park it’s all desert and once you are in there is greenery but not a lot you have to drive another 2-3 hours until you are actually in the sequoia forest but seeing the transition is amazing, you guys are very lucky there are no cars:)
If a sign says no dogs and you can’t stay with her take her with you anyway and carry her if you can. Her safety comes before these dog rules! My dog always comes first.
Great video! Just be careful with drone flying in national parks. I believe it’s illegal.
It is absolutely. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks wind in and out of Sequoia National Forest where it is legal to fly 😊
Your arms are going to be jacked holding the camera out of the window so much 😂
😂 💪
Just curious, is the General Sherman a solid tree or is it hollow?
It’s full of lumber 🤪
@@timandfin OK, Thx for the reply...Happy Motoring wherever you go and be careful.
Do you need reservations to go in the park
Not currently for Sequoia or Kings (Yosemite, yes)
it's a bummer that almost 99% of national parks don't allow dogs on trails.
Geez, I saw that van and the first thing I thought was you were in the dog grooming business.
Rented a van in Germany and it had SIXT in three foot letters! Embarrassing much?
Dude wipes very Tulum
Welcome to Tulum baby 😂
Sequoia National Park is soooo amazing.
I’d rather not have to see Stacie Abrams DNC fundraiser ad in the middle of your video through...
Have fun you guys.
We don’t choose ads that play. They are targeted based on your google account ☺️
What’s the name of the co you rented the van from.
Joann Ridgway Travellers Autobarn
Just kind of curious to know if youtubers are exempt from federal laws? I seen drone shots multiple times. Drone flight is against federal law in the sequoias.
Yup we get a free pass! ... joke. sorry for the confusion, we also try to represent our nature drone shots first by clearly making a sign like the sequoia national forest sign that was shown before the drone clip. So in short- no, we don’t fly in national parks. Never have- never will.
@@timandfin I disagree - 16:03 - 16:11 shows the surrounding park, and you're airborn with a national park overlook information sign in view. Some people have been to these parks many many times; this is a pretty identifiable location. You really should edit this - litigation is real
Well I disagree with you- funny how that works! Also- since I was there, I’m gonna go with my opinion.
It feels stupid to be called out about something we’re so careful about. we’re so careful to never fly in national parks yet here we are having this discussion. We happily give up tons of killer shots that are praised in other vlogs because we whole heartedly agree that drones should stay out of national parks. You can either take our word for it or not.
Sherman: Not the tallest but the most dense on this planet. BTW you guys should get use to wearing mask here in cali.
so sad because the park is so empty 😭😭😭
