I can’t wait to go to Big Bend someday. I would love to walk those trails and see the darkest skies in Texas. Y’all should check out the Guadalupe Mountains and walk the trail to the highest peak in Texas!
@lunabear4195 GO! Just GO! ❤️ I went last year on a VERY abbreviated trip, fun but too short. This March with my youngest son, granddaughter and two of my best friends. Three great days! Then Balmoreah State Park and Carlsbad Caverns. It’s off the beaten path but worth it!
Possibly your best video to date! It felt more like you were taking me on the trails with you. I was just a bit disappointed you didn't invite me to dinner 🤣. Looked wonderful! Thanks and keep enjoying the journey!
We like to think we’re getting better at this whole video making thing😁 glad you think so too! Guess your invite got lost in the mail. Sorry about that. 😆 Thanks for your support Jeff! 👍
Y’all are such a cute couple! Many blessings to you! 🙏 Stay safe as you journey! Big Bend is my favorite national park. There’s just something about it that brings me great joy & gratitude. Such a beautiful place! 😊❤️🙏
We are so glad you enjoy watching our videos! We are so thankful we are able to share them. And Claire’s food is honestly the glue of our relationship lol. 😂😁 it’s the best!
You guys are creating moments and experiences that you will treasure even more as you age and I mean as in really old! 😂 Enjoy your youth and continue to pile up those good memories!👍🏻. P.S. Alway be aware and stay safe.
Arizona will be warmer. Check out Sedona. Also White Sands NM is a national park now and a favorite of some other vanlife travelers . It looks really amazing. Its so nice to see you traveling as many are not. Beautiful star shots and photos at the end!!
Good to hear that Arizona will be warmer. And we actually just added Sedona to our list today! Glad you like the photos at the end! That’s one of our favorite parts of the videos to make. Thanks for your support!!
Glad you got to visit window trail. Camped in tent in dec. It definitely is cold. The park ranger said outside of designated areas you can hike anywhere. Hiked the Chisos mountains. The park is definitely pretty and huge.
Big Bend awesome. I was camping in Chisos Basin around the time you were there. It was cold out, but I had a Big Buddy propane heater so my tent was toasty. I highly recommend one for all campers.
So happy you guys popped into my suggestions!! Your videos are so inspiring and fun to watch! I clicked on the subscribe button after watching just one video of yours. (also I'm no expert but I think that blue bird was a blue jay?) :)
Taylor! We are SO glad we popped up on your suggested. We have a lot of fun making these video and getting to share a bit of our life with others. So happy to have you along!! 😁🥳❤️
Thanks! We are planning ours Dec 2021.. appreciate your thoughts on the staying warm. No van living for us, need to think our sleeping accommodations as old folks. Any recommendations are welcome. Safe journey people!
Amazing! 2 questions - I also have a transit connect I'm converting - what do you guys do for heat in the van? And also - what equipment did you use to capture the star time lapse? Love the videos!
1. We currently do not have heat in the van, so we use lots of a blankets and a sleeping bag at night. We are thinking of possibly getting a small heater. 2. All of our star time lapses are made using the Sony A7iii Thanks for watching!! Let us know if you have any more questions.
I literally was talking to the gutter guy about Big Bend this morning! It’s definitely going on my list of places to go hike. How long does the propane tank last for you two? I love your content 🥰😘

Hi! I believe you can do a lot in 3 nights! Should be plenty of time, but if you have time to spare you could always stay another night haha. Lots of variety of places to camp at Big Bend.

Great content guys!! Keep it up!👌🏽
Amazing places! Such a beautiful area! How did you stay warm???
At night we used lots of blankets and sleeping bags and during the day we wore lots of layers and tried to always stay moving!
Thanks for your support Holley!
Love it sm!!
no stop in Houston? lol... My wife and i actually honeymooned in the Big Bend area back in '95. yall have fun!
We were pretty eager to head west! 😂

Thanks for watching!! Let us know if you have any more questions.
Great video! We were just at Big Bend in June and it was sooooooooo hot. When did you camp there?
I asked a rather about that bird 🐦 when I was there. I was told it was a Mexican Jay.
Hey guys! Love your videos so much - just wondering if you have a playlist of the songs you use in your videos at all? They’re lovely and uplifting 🧡
We currently do not, but we’ll have to look into making one! Great idea!
DANG 16 BUCKS A NIGHT FOR THAT CAMPSITE?? That is beautiful
I know right!! We are luckkkkkyy😊
❤
I literally was talking to the gutter guy about Big Bend this morning! It’s definitely going on my list of places to go hike. How long does the propane tank last for you two? I love your content 🥰😘
Big bend is SO beautiful! Our propane depends on how many meals we make, but we’d say 4-5 days if we make 2 meals each day.
I’m quite sure the bird was a scrub jay.
Can you climb on top of the 'balanced' rock is it not permitted?
Do you need to reserve a camp site? I have a Sprinter RV similar size as yours. Can i just park somewhere and spend the night?
great video. what is the title of the music in the ending?
What do you recommend taking/ packing/ ???
👍👏👏👏
The bird is a Mexican Jay.
What month are you in Big Bend? Thanks
