As always, so much fun seeing Bunny playing Everywhere along with Riley, and now to complete a much younger of the Golden Girls but just as funny... Just add food and friends, and Voila ! Looking forward to seeing you three tear up the roads like Thelma and Louise and LBO too!
I have realized that having friends that understand your lifestyle are so important. I have friends in town that understand my love of camping and the outdoors but they don't understand wanting a different view than just the one outside your bedroom window that never changes for 10+ years.
This is my favorite kind of nomad videos. I love seeing people that do this lifestyle enjoy their surroundings, their freedom and friendships. This was perfect Dee. Thank you for sharing.
I love it when you and Bunny Playes Here get together. One of my favorite videos is when you two were setting up that tent between your two Vans. It was hilarious! The three of you look like you're having a fun time together ❤️ (added fun is having a dog in the mix)
:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharing and LOL at soon as I saw Riley and Bunny :) WoooHooooooooooooo! ENJOY and ALL the BEST to all of you! Cheers from Upper Left! :) !!
Pine cones are resinous. Some actually require fire to open and therefore they need fire in order to make more trees. Fire is an important part of the landscape.
The first pronunciation was "presque parfait". You earned an A. I taught high school French for a few years due to shortages of language teachers. It was not my favorite subject to teach. Your trip looks like much fun and the tacos looked good too. I retuned to my house yesterday with much to do inside and outside. I might do another short trip when the spring semester is over in about 8 weeks. Continue to enjoy your fun travels for as long as possible.
My late ex father-in-law was in the CCC back in the 30s and helped build most of the beautiful rock buildings and walls there at Petit Jean SP. it’s so wonderful there. I live about 30 miles from the mountain. Maybe one day you’ll come back!
I’m thinking about getting a transit connect for van life and I’m wondering how the air flow is without any windows in the back that pop open. I know you don’t have a max air fan, and I wouldn’t get one either, so does it get stuffy if you have to leave the doors closed? It seems like you are usually places you can open your doors, but I would do a combination of stealth camping and boondocking. Is it enough fresh air at night or in the summers without windows that open in the back?
I have never had issues. When I added the deck, it acted as a sun barrier of sorts. The composite doesn’t absorb the heat and so the metal roof of my van doesn’t get baked by the sun. There are about two inches between the roof and deck and air flows through it which also serves to cool things down. It was not intentional, but I realized it afterwards as a great incidental benefit.
Well my experience with travelling with friends is much different. I have 1 specific friend who has a old converted mini bus but cant drive it properly! She drives it at a little over 20mph 🤦♀️ ive been having to stop at theend of every single road and wait for her to catch up,absolute nightmare! It actually ruined my last weekend away as it was none stop and just burnt me out, Ive had to say if she wants to tag along in future she can meet me at the destination! For my own sanity 😂. Great time you all had 👌
That's too funny!😅 I've converted picnic shelters into homes. With a large shelter I can park my van under the roof. If I could only install a car lift as well...hmmmm.
LOL, you ladies are a riot! What was the square cookware? Did your friend have a Min Pin or Chiwawa? Are you complete vegan or manage the best you can? If you come east as far as Maine give me a shout.
Thanks. The square pan is called a ridge monkey. I think Tyson is a chihuahua mix. I eat like a vegan, but am not vegan. Maine is beautiful-I’d love to get back there some day!!!
So good to see you three out doing it again I had hopes of joining you one day got my van almost ready and then I ended up getting rejection with my transplanted lungs so that looks like one part of my bucket list won't get filled but I love watching you three
Good to see you having fun with friends. I follow bunny as well so I know you guys had to have some fun..hehe I have tried the pea protein and I like it but I do not like tvp at all. I made some tacos with it and ended up throwing it away. Lol I am fine without meat though. I miss burgers but I have found plant based burgers to be yummy but I don't have them often. Even the processed vegan food can be bad for you so I try to be mindful of the ingredients when I'm looking. I wanted some Spanish rice today but when I looked at the unnecessary ingredients I decided to make my own. Hehe oh, I made some zipper pouches like the ones in your van you have hanging. I can't wait to decorate the van. I made the same thing except in bigger sizes to cover my packing cubes so they look like pillows.
Good friends, good food, good times! BTW, ‘Petit Jean’ is French for ‘Little John’. There’s a great story of a French woman who disguised herself as a man so she could be near her husband as they explored the Territory of Louisiana. She became known as ‘Petit Jean’.
Hey Ms.Dee! Glad Y'all had a real good time. I will now bite my lip and not comment that a lot of what you ate was not what I'd call real food. Each to their own and so on. (Really, I don't eat margarine 'cause it ain't real butter. Y'all may live longer than me because of diet, but will you enjoy it more without bacon?)
You have to weigh up where you are on the scale between making constant compromises and achieving complete freedom! Difficult to get right unless you have like-minded, very good friends!
That was hilarious and relatable! I hate insects and other kind of bugs! Maybe your meal wasn't as vegan as you thought 🤭 I always watch with Dutch subtitles and that makes it even more fun, because it's often wrong! 🤣 Other than that, I'm not jealous.....
We actually aren’t all vegan. I tend to eat vegan most of the time because it makes sense for me without refrigeration. That night we wanted to show that it is possible and easy to have a fun vegan meal!
It was good to see your having fun and glad to see you´re traveling with other people , I was worried about you. Do you watch the Adventures with Loui ? And Forestly forest ? Simon just traveled 12 hours to meet up with Loui . I think those two make a perfect match
Bonjour Petit Jean est bien français et de plus c est le nom et prénom de mon père 😉 Les pommes de pin sont formidables ; elles sont un très bon combustible sauf qu elles sont remplies de résine et qu il faudrait éviter de les mettre dans un poêle… Sympa votre petit pique nique entre filles🫶🏼
I love you three and would like to meet you this summer. Perhaps I could email Bunny? I hope I can find her address. I am 🏕️ camping west to Oregon and WA this summer in my mini-van. It will be my 4th summer. Again would love to meet up with all three of you if possible.
It's great seeing you with some friends, but eating all that highly processed fake vegan food makes me feel ill. The more processed the food is, the less nutritious the food is.
It is dehydrated so the processing is minimal. With dehydration, the food is still considered 'natural' and 'raw', since it retains most of the nutrients. And, these nutrients, vitamins and minerals get absorbed as easily as in their original state, unlike processed foods. Yes, I’d usually prefer the non dehydrated version. But this and freeze-dried are good alternatives for vanlife to have as occasional nutritious meals.
😂😂😂😂 “I’m afraid its gonna get in my hair” …”No your hair wasn’t facing this way” “I think it’s in my hair I felt something look do you see it, I felt something” 😂😂😂 well that was funny but nothing was ever as funny as when you and bunny tried to put that tent thing up 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and I was shouting to my tv “ No it’s upside down No it’s not right “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ….. on a serious note if something flew into my house my van or my hair I would be screaming like the OLD girl that I am. 😂😂😂😂😂 have a great trip all of you ❤️😇❤️ that you tube of the tent was funny ….. you know I have a huge family so there is always always always something funny happening to somebody too especially when we all get together ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why do vegans always try to make vegetables taste like meat and have all kinds of faux meat recipes? I NEVER try to make my meat taste like vegetables. It's disingenuous. I want my meat to taste like meat and my vegetables to taste and look like vegetables.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate the view and your willingness to comment and show support of the channel.
As always, so much fun seeing Bunny playing Everywhere along with Riley, and now to complete a much younger of the Golden Girls but just as funny... Just add food and friends, and Voila !
Looking forward to seeing you three tear up the roads like Thelma and Louise and LBO too!
I love seeing you three amigos having fun together! It happens every time! ❤
Yes, we really enjoy caravanning together when we get the chance!
I have realized that having friends that understand your lifestyle are so important. I have friends in town that understand my love of camping and the outdoors but they don't understand wanting a different view than just the one outside your bedroom window that never changes for 10+ years.
It really does make a difference. 😊
I became a van lifer for the freedom itgives me to change my outside view as often as I want or need to do it.
Friends who get you, are everything! ❤❤❤
Yep! 🥰
One of my favorite things is when we camp together!!!!! LOVE camping with you both!!!
Me too!!!
💕Looks like so much fun among friends!
I thought that was you!!! Looks like a delightful lunch/dinner! Must try these food items.
This is my favorite kind of nomad videos. I love seeing people that do this lifestyle enjoy their surroundings, their freedom and friendships. This was perfect Dee. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!🥰
What a beautiful way to travel. Laughs shared meals and campsites, and lots of memories.
Glad you enjoyed it💃🏻
I love it when you and Bunny Playes Here get together. One of my favorite videos is when you two were setting up that tent between your two Vans. It was hilarious! The three of you look like you're having a fun time together ❤️ (added fun is having a dog in the mix)
Glad you enjoyed it! We have a lot of fun. I’m grateful and don’t take it for granted-it’s hard to find good companions that get along well.☺️
Just add a bottle of bubbly or some margaritas to the tent construction and you'll be on funniest home videos.
Glad you have company when you want it, and solitude when you desire.
Yes! The best of both worlds💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼
You girls are so crazy lol.. It's so funny to watch yall have so much fun! Keep smiling and laughing. Life is great!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It’s nice to have good companions that get along pretty well together- I don’t take it for granted.🥰
❤😂, Multiple RUclipsrs , do a picnic... I love it. You women rock. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Thank you for sharing it with us too☺️
Opening gives a whole new meaning to *Bugout". 👍 Rock on 🙂.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 love it!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
what a lovely time! you women have such fun... sharing, caring, and just enjoying comaraderie! thanks for bringing us along!🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it😊
1st time finding you...new subscriber. as a vegan it's nice to see a vegan meal being prepared instead of all the other stuff! meg
Welcome!! I’m glad you are here 💃🏻🐞🚗
I love to see the 3 1/2 of you traveling together…safer and always fun to share the adventures with others
We enjoy meeting up with each other when we’re moving the same direction!
Having fun, great to hear you all laughing so much. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was good to belly laugh🤣
:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharing and LOL at soon as I saw Riley and Bunny :) WoooHooooooooooooo! ENJOY and ALL the BEST to all of you! Cheers from Upper Left! :) !!
Our pleasure! Thanks for joining us💃🏻
Nothing like camping with friends! That meal looks delicious. Hopefully we will have another adventure this summer 😊 take care ❤
Yes!!! I would love that. ☺️
Hey ladies 👋🏻😊 looks like y'all had fun. I always enjoy the videos with you three together 🤗🩵💎
Thank you so much 🤗
I follow all 3 of you & love seeing you together!
That’s awesome! Thank you 🥰
It's good to see you enjoying the good company of friends. they are very funny. 😃🙋🏾♀️
We had a blast…it’s good to laugh and be silly!
👋😁👍 Well, that all looked like a lot of fun ‼️
We do have fun together😆
I could not be more thrilled you are traveling with friends! Safety in numbers.
And fun!
@@LadyBugout oh, I am sure of that much!
Thanks for sharing the joy 😊
My pleasure 😊
LOLLL It was burning me yes, but it was still SO good 🥵🌶😂
Hahahah. When I was editing, I was like, what is going on with Riley??? 🤣
Real nice to have friends who enjoy the same things you do.Great video Dee.
It sure is!!! 😊🙌🏼💪🏼
The life is better if you share it with friends! Have a nice time!!! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
What a fun get together. Nice to see friends get together. The meal looks yummy but too spicy for me 🥵. Thankyou and safe travels to you all. ❤️🚐
Yes, it was spicy 🥵
I make fire starters out of pinecones dipped in melted candle wax from discarded candles people take to Goodwill. They are great❣️
Great idea!!
Girls having fun! Love it!
We have a lot of laughs!!!
Actually in French we don't pronounce the last T in Petit Jean but you do it well ! 👍👏💪
I had no idea what I was saying…it was confusing because the locals called it one thing and my brain kept trying to call it something else 😆
Pine cones are resinous. Some actually require fire to open and therefore they need fire in order to make more trees. Fire is an important part of the landscape.
Good to know!!!☺️
Cool! I’ve been there and camped in a tent with my daughter. It’s beautiful
It really is! 💃🏻
So happy for you. Good friends are important.
Yes. I feel truly grateful ☺️
SO. MUCH. FUN!!!
Will need to try these food items. Looked like a very delicious lunch/dinner!!
We had a blast! ☺️

I couldn’t pronounce it for the life of me 😝
Our favorite place! The interpreters are real friends. Senior American Special each October is a regular event for us.
Awesome! Yes, it was very enjoyable to be there for a few days and explore.☺️
My late ex father-in-law was in the CCC back in the 30s and helped build most of the beautiful rock buildings and walls there at Petit Jean SP. it’s so wonderful there. I live about 30 miles from the mountain. Maybe one day you’ll come back!
Oh wow! That’s awesome. It is so beautiful 😃
Another fun part to videos like this one is going to the others' sites to watch their takes on the adventure. We get three times the fun! 😂
That’s awesome that you watch all of us🥰
Hi, great place to be with friends and a nice meal. The RidgeMonkey is great, love the classic sandwich toaster too.
I am beginning to see why a ridge monkey is useful for sure!!!
That was so much fun! 🥰
There’s a seat for you whenever you get over here ☺️
@@LadyBugout one day, I hope!
Awesome friends & great vibes! 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🐞🐞
Oh my gosh, perfect avacados... That's the dream.
I know… right?!?? 😆
Such a fun video. I do yhe same thing with spaces. Your pronunciation was perfect! ❤
Lol…yeah my mind just naturally likes to convert spaces😝 I couldn’t pronounce the place to save my life 😜
Enjoy the fun
Thank you!😊
Great video, great friends, great travels.
Thanks so much!☺️

Oh dear…yeah, it is important to figure out how to make things work to everyone’s advantage 😝
That's too funny!😅 I've converted picnic shelters into homes. With a large shelter I can park my van under the roof. If I could only install a car lift as well...hmmmm.
Also, having friends who live the van life understand what each of goes through emotionally and offer help when anf if needed.
Hahaha yes, I’ve done that too😝
Aww so fun!!! 🥰🤩 Very happy travels to all of you 🥰Best, Lynne
Thank you, Lynne☺️

How did I not know about Habanero tortillas at TJ’s?! Your taco filling looks so yummy! You girls have too much fun😆
It's so good! 😊
3 ladybugs eating and grooming. good to see you off monologue
Glad you enjoyed it☺️
Bon Appretit Ladies! Could you please tell me what type of square pot that is you are cooking in? It's name, Thanks!
It’s called a ridge monkey. ☺️

Just here for the beautiful smile & voice 🤪
I appreciate it☺️
Looks like it was a fun camp with the girls! The vegan tacos look delicious too :o)
We always have a good time when we travel together☺️
Good friends, good food, good times!
BTW, ‘Petit Jean’ is French for ‘Little John’.
There’s a great story of a French woman who disguised herself as a man so she could be near her husband as they explored the Territory of Louisiana. She became known as ‘Petit Jean’.
That is exactly what the place was named for. We went to where she is ‘buried’. Very interesting history.
@@LadyBugout Indeed. There’s surprisingly little history taught about how much influence the French had here in North America.
Fun times
Yes we have fun times when we get together ☺️

3 of my favorite…
Thank you for stopping by ☺️
I'm curious about some of the food (packaged) that you guys ate. I had not heard of Queen Salsa nor the Me Eat brand. Would you purchase again?
Probably, if I found it. It’s easy to carry and store and it tasted good.
@@LadyBugout thanks! Happy trails and safe travels to you, Dee.
Great to see you all together having fun, cooking, killing flies...... Dee, is it still in your hair???
😝 noooooo
💜💜💜💜

You're in my neck of the woods! I'm packing up mid may and heading out to explore
Nice. Have fun!!!

this was FUN! what do you do when you need alone time? much love to all....
We know each other well enough that we understand when someone needs to do something different or needs space.☺️
@@LadyBugout ❤❤❤
What make and models of vehicles do you all drive? Thanks so much!
My vehicle is a 2010 Ford Transit Connect. You’d have to ask Bunny and Riley to disclose their information ☺️
Love it❤
Thanks my friend. Miss hanging with you too.
It was good to see your having fun and glad to see you´re traveling with other people , I was worried about you.
Do you watch the Adventures with Loui ? And Forestly forest ? Simon just traveled 12 hours to meet up with Loui . I think those two make a perfect match
I do not watch them. I’ll have to check them out.☺️
Great hiking areas there
Yes. We had some great hikes.
😘😘😘😘
☺️☺️☺️☺️
I like your taste for spice!
Thank you 💃🏻
What do you have cooking int he show this week?
How fun was that 😅
Yay! 💃🏻
You are in Arkansas. Level is tentative! 🙃
Very true☺️
Petit Jean... Are you in Arkansas?
We were in Arkansas.
That sauce is more like a “pico de gallo” style
Yes!!!
All I can say is, exceptioal person. Life is about what you make it and you make life wonderful for those around you.
That is very kind of you to say!☺️
😅
😆
Dont forget the cheese please😂
She really wanted the cheese!!!😝
Bonjour
Petit Jean est bien français et de plus c est le nom et prénom de mon père 😉
Les pommes de pin sont formidables ; elles sont un très bon combustible sauf qu elles sont remplies de résine et qu il faudrait éviter de les mettre dans un poêle…

Good to know. Thank you for following along.😊
Nice video, but I must ask. Why does your thumbnail pic look like you were in a MMA event?
I have no idea.
I love Petty Jean State Park; it has a lot of history and a fantastic waterfall. I hope you enjoyed it. 👍👍👍
✌️♥️🎶💡
It was a great place to explore!
