  • In this video we depart our Superstition Mountain camp. Moving on to some public land located in Pima County, Arizona. I find a nice camp out in the boonies. No cell service out here. Nice to enjoy some solitude and peaceful quiet surroundings.
    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!

    Ears bouncing with a curley joy
    Freshly cleaned and shiny glow.
    Overhead a spy deployed
    If you're a friend or foe.
    Rarely is the desert so green
    But never an unwonderful scene.
    Live with nature in serenity
    Experience your quiet eternity.

    Hi y'all
    Beautiful scenery, the west has more beautiful sunsets/rises than Florida.
    I'll be back on the road again in a couple months, helping my family, painting etc. Mom just turned 92, I wanted to spend some quality time with her and my sister and brother in law. And I've been freshening the van, so dusty from the desert and off road driving.
    Happy Trails y'all !

    Wow! What a beautiful camp site. Hobbs is looking great. When he trots out in front of you and doesn't really pull on the leash, you can know that he is very comfortable with his surroundings and with you. He's in a very happy place when he does that. Learn to read your dog and he will speak to you.

    On your shelf the far right lip holding things on looks like possibly an Indian arrow head... just an observation of the wood grain.

I like your calm collected style and you have done this for so long I figure you would be a good person to ask. Im not trying to get a collaboration or a shout out for views just figure you would be a good person to ask advice from. Anyways as always I enjoy your videos and no hard feelings if you dont have time. Thanks!

    At some point you need to find a brown rain forest to compliment this green desert camp. :) Love the look of the dark clouds over the hills plus the green plants. For that matter love the sun plus clouds views as well. Ok ok, I just like clouds moving around the sky :)

    Hi Brian. Great video as always. I hope you don't mind me asking this question. I remember a few years ago. You were talking about a guy who got nasty with you because he did not like you revealing campsite locations to people. Other than that have you ever been attacked, threatened, or messed with by anyone while out there in the wilds?

    • @AdventureVanMan
