The BAJA You Didn't Know Existed | Remote Van Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 мар 2024
- There is still remoteness to be found amidst the twisting, rugged, forgotten Baja coastline. We found remote van life like we didn't know existed. When we thought we were wrapping our heads around what BAJA California travel had to offer we were pleasantly surprised by this. White sand beaches. Pounding waves. Relentless winds. Utah-like mountains. And, of course, small mission towns off the beaten track. Join the Slow Roamers for this near-final look at perhaps the Baja YOU didn't know existed!

okay you two. this has been my favorite video of yours so far!!! 100% fabulous. :-)
REALLY? I’m very curious to know why this one opposed to the others.
Every once in awhile I stumble across something special on RUclips. Your humble, quiet, and beautiful storytelling is a rare treat. Now I will continue binging your videos.
Aw shucks.😊 Thank you, genuinely. Glad you found us.🙌🏻
Yay! Thanks for sharing this. You're so right.
@cwetfeet since you love Alex's contemplative side, be sure to watch Desert Snowstorm, Epic MOAB and Leslie Gulch. There are others too but these ones are really good on the storytelling front. Enjoy! And if you need help to find more, feel free to ask.
your editing, pace, flow and everything is constantly getting more awesombroso!
thank you! Also, I’m gonna have to add “awesombroso” to my repertoire. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Y’all are killin it! Absolutely love watching these when I have downtime from work. Keep it up!
Thanks SJ! We’re stoked you’re enjoying videos so much. Thanks for watching!
I just spent 3 of the last six months vanning around baja, spent a couple weeks at Punta Abreojos. Was great when it wasn't super windy..Campo Rene has great food. 🤙🏼
Nice! We, obviously, zipped through the area pretty quickly. We were mainly interested in dipping our toes in to get a feel for the area. Perhaps next time we’ll spend a little more time around Abreojos.
Such beautiful destinations and adventures. Thank you both for sharing your poignant perspective and storytelling with us!
Thanks Lisa!😊😊
Finally got to enjoy your latest. The drone stuff was nice and helps to convey the emptiness and vastness of the landscape. Each time I check in more folks have joined. Almost 9200! Sweet!
@AceRph thanks for your encouragement, as always. I'm watching those stats too, excited for the big push now to 10K that precious few achieve. Another AJ 😊
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! We’re creeping slowly towards that 10k!😁
Thanks again for a great video. We just got back from a too-short jaunt to Baja. I was keeping an eye out for your van on the off chance to meet you in person. We've had our eye on Asuncion, Tortugas, and Abreojos for years. We just don't have much time off from work yet to wander for more than a week or so - some day, though!
Baby steps, I was there too once upon a time. But hey, bright side, you can get down there for a week. 😁 We usually stick to the bush, the only time you’d have likely seen us is ripping down the MEX1/5 and that was only for a a couple hours on a randomly picked day. Glad you’re still enjoying the videos, thanks for watching Dafyd!🙌🏻
nice one Thank you ! ✌
Hey Andy! Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻
❤❤❤😊
Thanks for watching!🙌🏻😁
😍
❤❤❤❤
Another great video
Thanks Luis! 🙌🏻😊
Tell your seamstress to lower the hems of your shorts just to keep you safe!!!!!!!?
😂
Oh mom, you just won the comment section. I love you.🤣🤣
oh Wao!! mi sueño es hacer ese viaje .. Me encantan sus videos!
¡Gracias por ver! Te animo a que hagas el viaje, no te arrepentirás. ¡Hay un hermoso paisaje ahí fuera!
Gracias muchas gracias. Por ir a ese maravilloso lugar y ver a lo lejos mi Isla de Cedros. Sin duda fue la mejor imagen. 🙏
Your country is SOOOO beautiful. The views from Punta Eugenia and Bahia Tortugas remind me of the coastline in my home country, Scotland.
¡de nada! gracias por darme la bienvenida a su hermoso país. ¡Amamos mucho a México y esperamos explorarlo mucho más!
Usted vive alla? Hay mucho gente que viviendo a la Isla de cedro?
Si fui pescador en isla de Cedros. Hay unos 4 habitantes aproximadamente
@@aristeohiguera9448 Teníamos curiosidad sobre quién vive en las islas. Es una existencia única e interesante vivir en una isla como la tuya.
One of my favorite slices of Baja. You missed some great spots by the way. Some of the trades routes spots, Campo Rene, the lagoon at La Bocana, Shari Bondy's place in Asuncion and Shari, San Roque, none of these are secret. There are some very special places for those that explore that area still. I gave up trying to keep places undercover, now I use the "do I read/hear about it a lot rule" You have a great perspective and your videos are fun. It's interesting to get your fresh eye's on places I've been going to for 10's of years. I also admire how mush time you spend filming and editing. I do love Baja but it is getting smaller.
Yeah, I think it’s just part of going to a place for the first time. Obviously there’s always going to be places we miss, it’s what keeps us coming back. Thanks for the constructive insights, they’re much appreciated and also, thank you for watching.
"Bubble Guts"?? Did I hear that right? Please leave clues to what that means as I've got to employ that phrase immediately. So good!
We both got a stomach bug, possibly from some water we drank. It left our stomachs rumbling…kinda like there were bubbles. 🤣
I love your perspective on overlanding. You’re quite an introspective fellow! How cute is St. Ignacio? My wife and I are planning a tour of California this summer in which, we will hit all 21 of the California missions. They are Franciscan, not Jesuit like in St. Ignacio. More epic drone shots and music choices. I especially liked the, “Hey Yaba, Hey Yaba” song at around 5:40! I just read that there’s a statue of St. Martin de Porres, ‘saint of the broom’ in the St. Ignacio Mission. Seems fitting for all your windy, dusty travel! Thanks for the video!
100% agree.
Thanks be once again to the Tiki Envy’s for the kind words.😁 San Ignacio was wonderful, we definitely left wondering why we hadn’t been there before considering we’ve passed it multiple times. Glad you’re enjoying the music choices, that’s always a tough one and often what takes the most amount of time.🤣
Pity there wasn't some decent surf rolling in at one of those spots.
I know nothing of the sort.🤷🏼♂️
We have been to Baja also , no secrets anymore , chill ,,,
This is fairly true.
Vizcaino peninsula is one of the last destinations that we should try to preserve from tourism with everything we have.
Presumably that’s where we were? I couldn’t find a name for the greater area. I can’t see it being at risk of being overrun any time soon, the whole area is kind of a black hole on the map and the pacific side can be pretty brutal. The towns are certainly pleasant, but akin to Guerrero Negro. I think most people are mostly focused on the Cortez side, calm beaches and Azul water.
@@SlowRoamers yes. It is called Vizcaino. The locals there are happy to be living their way of life with minimal reliance on tourism which is far more sustainable even if less lucrative. It's inevitable that more tourist will come but keeping that process to a minimum is vital in keeping their local traditions intact.
The thing about these last 10 years is that there were practically zero videos of these kinds of places in Baja back then. Once they are out there, it runs fast. There are literally hundreds of new vids uploaded every week and like a virus, it has an exponential effect. You've seen the rest of it and how busy it's been. Baja as a whole has seen an extreme impact by this over the last 5-10 years. The biggest obstacle of the fear of being in a foreign country is gone for most people.
I think you guys know that it just takes one person to find out about a place and decide to build a nice campground or organize a big van meetup for any place to be overrun.
There is great surfing at Punta Abreojos but the actual spots are kept to the old school surfing traditions of being secret and very low key.
@@malimish I see. I certainly don’t disagree with you. I was just today talking with a friend about IG’s impact on Horseshoe Bend and how geotagging has exploded a lot of areas. So, I like to think I understand the impact of the “value” of a place getting out just once. I’ll admit that I’m fairly ignorant about the areas that we traveled through this time around. However, in my defence I don’t think I showcased them well, aside from Tortugas, but then, a friendly, quaint town is a descriptor that could be used for most Baja towns. It wasn’t until people mentioned in the comments about surf breaks and other places that I missed that I had any knowledge of them.
I’m not sure what else to say about it. I understand, going forward that it’s probably best to stick to my typical policy of leaving remote areas nameless. With that being said, there’s only one remaining video from our stay in Baja, we crossed back into the US today, and I see no need to mention any of the areas visited.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the dialogue.
@@SlowRoamers I am guilty of the same things in the past for sure. We went to horseshoe bend the first time over a decade ago and couldnt wait to share with friends on IG. No on was there. It was just a side o the road free dirt lot and not managed by anyone. It wasn't really a concern at the time as vanlife and digital nomads weren't really a thing. I feel a little guilty of places like that and what they have become. Of course we weren't the only ones sharing back then. I have seen the full transition of places like that. I can tell you guys are cognizant of these topics and it's hard to not get excited to find roads less traveled. Glad you got to experience Baja the way it was decades ago.
Hi, I have a question? How often do you get stuck and have to use your recovery gear?
Thanks
You’ll need to define stuck.🤣 Occasionally we’ll get momentarily stopped, usually it’s due to tires having too much pressure. Once I let out a little pressure I can typically drive out. We haven’t been officially stuck where we had to use recovery gear to get out.
@@SlowRoamers Thanks, that is what I wanted to know, I am presently dispersed Camping in New Mexico and my two biggest fears are getting stuck or breaking down while off Road, I just bought an Air Compressor so I can Air down but I also only have one Wheel drive so I know that I need to be careful. Anyway I am enjoying your Videos.
Very good to hear. A..B. A. D. 😂 Thanks for chiming in. Safe travels in NM.
All RUclips content creators can you all of you (Which there are to many) please stop naming these spots and keep these special places to yourself.
Thanks for your input.
These spots are and have been in many surfer guides since the 60's..chill.
Keep it off the internet, unless you want it to become overcrowded and ruined for everyone.
Thanks for your input
