    I've gotta lot of stuff but luckily my Astro Van has enough storage for it all...
    Today is the day I pack up the van for the next 42 days in the Desert far far away from home. I will be out in the desert for a long time so in this video I prep everything I need to before leaving.
    By the end of this video it's time to hit the road and get some groceries.
    Get ready for an awesome adventures
    into the Southwestern Deserts of the United States!

    👍👍:
    82-yr old grandpa/subscriber here, commending you
    on your Enthusiasm.Passion.Spirit, as you prepare for
    your next adventure.
    The Grandpa "Paternal mode" in me kicks in with concerned
    thoughts of your safety & health while you're on a solo quest.
    However, you're NOT a Novice. Watching this video
    proves that!! Your attempt at having what you feel is
    needed in case of an emergency or breakdown is a +.
    (Not forgetting the good eats!!)
    I enjoy seeing the joy in your eyes, body language and voice!!
    I live in a California concrete jungle, so inviting you to a
    "meet & Greet" might be out of the "Q"; since you want to
    get away from the rush, noise and a few rude people.
    (BUT>BUT>The Sierra Nevada's are three hours to the East.)
    Plus, a Coastal mountain range to the West ~ two hrs away.
    With that said; Best wishes for continued Success.Great
    Health & Abundant Safety!!
    Take Great Care of Yourself and Fred!!
    BTW: I'm sure you have a mobile phone tucked away somewhere(?)...
    (Just saying)
    (Sorry for the long-winded chat) ~ 💚🙏

      I don't believe B-G's content is about politics!!

      His vlogs are about Nature. Exploring. Freedom. Satisfaction!
      Your question does NOT deserve an answer; especially in his
      video comment section.

    DUDE! i'm getting ready to do a month trip to LA and San Diego and all over starting in the next week or 2!
    that's why i've finally started working on my SUV build. got my seats ripped out, picking up my lumber and building my fancy platform tomorrow, then my mattress should be here on Monday. still gotta build my solar system, throw my huge solar panel on the roof, drill holes in the roof of my Acura (super excited about that lol), and then pack up and go.
    if we happen to bump into each other ill give you some of the fishing lures im developing. they are a soft plastic replacement that has no plastic, is 100% biodegradable, and they're even edible.
    have an awesome time on your trip dude!

    Hey bro, why don't you make the shoe storage area sealed so that you can contain the smell? You could just use an ammo can to seal in the stinky ones or you can add another ammo can with holes on the BOTTOM to the exterior of the van so they can air out over night but if it rains they will be dry still.
