    Beautiful video. The Olympic peninsula is one of the most extraordinary places on earth, it touches the soul. Proud to be a lifelong Washingtonian.

      Thank you!! I fully agree, especially after traveling extensively abroad. While I wasn’t born here, I am very proud to consider myself from the Olympic peninsula as that’s where I grew up

    Another wonderful little film. Thank you. Your writing to start the video was terrific. More of your writing, please! Loved the Muir quote. Can’t wait for your next share. 😊

    For some reason that spot looks familiar when I was out there exploring last year in the evening with my campfire I was able to get a picture of a shooting star. It’s a great area.

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад +1

      It’s possible you camped nearby or at the same spot! It’s right on the Hoh and outside the national park. One of my new favorite spots for sure, love being so close to the river

    • @midnightadventureswa
      @midnightadventureswa 10 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, there is some really nice spots by Rivers out that way that are great on a nice clear night to see the moon and stars there a nice hill side spot out by hood sport wa that has a nice view of hood canal

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад

      Oh I know about those spots near Hoodsport, I grew up on that side! Such a beautiful area

    Just recently visited Olympic and the Hoh Rain Forest last September - such a magical place! Love the 4Runner life too!

    • @NathanaelBillings

    I'm from Georgia but come out regularly each year to walk into the Olympics to set up my hammock and just soak in the beauty, greenery, and the awesome peace and quiet. If I could, like you I would live in my Land cruiser if I had to just to call the Olympics my home. Only thing holding me back is the wife has no desire to live there! Hopefully one day I can buy a few acres put a small shelter on it and do short stays.

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад +1

      Getting some land out there to put a cabin on for short stays is also my dream. What kind of Land Cruiser do you have? I lived out of my old 87 FJ60 out there for a summer back in 2012. One of my favorite summers!

    Brother. I have a white 2003 v8 4Runner limited and I just came across your channel. You have inspired me to prep my truck and go disconnect in nature. In a way I needed to see this. Thank you.

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад +1

      We’re nearly 4runner twins! Mine is a 2004 Limited with the V6. I’m really glad to hear you’re inspired tho ❤️ you don’t need much to get out for a night or two

    i come out here all the time. While i dont see it in a romantic way like in this video, it's a great place to have some peace and quiet and catch some fish in peaceful river spots. The drive here just sucks because it's a few hours out.

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  6 месяцев назад

      Oh for sure, I think I romanticize it because it’s where I grew up and even though I’ve traveling the world, there’s still no place that gives me the same feelings.

    I love your videos you are so talented. Thank you for sharing them. I saw another commenter ask if you’re drinking instant coffee in another video. Have you tried Bustelo instant? It’s all I drink and tastes so much better to me than regular coffee plus it’s easy to make and can be hot or cold. Great for camping. Looking forward to more of your wonderful videos.

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад +1

      Aww thank you!! I have tried bustello and it’s def one of my favs. I keep instant around as a backup for when I run out of beans since I’m in the wilderness for quite a while and there’s no nearby stores to get whole beans. Also sometimes I don’t wanna hassle with making coffee so instant it is!

  • @thelippychronicles
    @thelippychronicles 9 месяцев назад

    how are you sittin up?? Do you have a build video? I just bought a 4runner for camping, and I can't sit up. That's a dealbreaker for me. Don't want a van, love my 4R. Love to know how you built yours out.

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  8 месяцев назад

      I built my platform low just so I could sit up! I don’t have a build video but when I redo my build later this year, I’ll be making a video of that. I’ll be making it even lower to be able to sit up better.

    @GhostNinjaTactical 10 месяцев назад

    Great content, how the hell do you not have more subs? Anyway, butter has a low smoke point so if you add some oil that has a higher smoke point it will keep the butter from burning. Just a suggestion

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад

      Thank you dude!! I don’t have more subs cause I haven’t been consistent but I’m changing that.
      Good to know about the adding some oil, I’ll def do that next time cause my butter was burning haha I appreciate it!

    @adventuretrails1ato 10 месяцев назад

    If you don't know already , it seems like your tires are too big for your suspension. Maybe time to upgrade you a toyota sequoia. I have a first gen so much space. You migh😢 be supris🎉

    • @NathanaelBillings
      @NathanaelBillings  10 месяцев назад

      Oh they do look a little big cause I have no lift but they don't rub at all! I'll be putting a suspension lift on at some point cause my spring and shocks are pretty tired. A Sequoia is enticing but I've got my eyes on a couple different Toyota 4x4's for an upgrade
