Traveling safe as a GAY COUPLE | RV LIVING full time

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Today we're discussing the decision to leave Northern California and head to Palm Springs instead of continuing down the Pacific Coast. A few years ago we did a two week from trip down the PCH stopping in Big Sur and all the epic places along the way. We couldn't believe how much it has changed since in that short time and rather than "sucking it up" and just getting through it, it was important that we honor what makes us feel the most comfortable.
We hope that you enjoy this video, if you did…please make sure to give it a thumbs up, leave us a comment, and share it with someone who you think will find it interesting. This support helps our channel tremendously and allows us to continue to grow our community. There isn’t a lot of visibility online for a gay couple living on the path to minimalism through rv life, van life, tiny house living (or whatever you want to call this adventure). Please help up share the message of positivity, representation, and the values of living minimally FAR and WIDE!
Who are we?

Hi guys...we just wanted to quickly say that by no means are we saying that Northern California/Coast is not a place you should visit. You absolutely should, it's beautiful. Howerer, as we mentioned in the video our safety has to be our most important priority and sometimes you just have to follow your gut. We really hope that you enjoy this Sunday's video, much love you guys! 💛
Tyler and Todd safety is first you guys are such an adorable couple I absolutely love your Sunday videos on RUclips I’m heading south this week I’ll post videos on Instagram later this week if not Next week when I’m in gator 🐊 nation I’m excited i can’t wait for sun and beach weather not looking at this snow ❄️ anymore.
Oh I am soooo sorry that the Arcata has become so druggy it is sooo beautiful and you would have loved the area. But of course your safety is the most important!!!!!! You looked soooo happy in Palm Springs!!! YEA!!!!!!
Tyler and Todd are you guys stoners ? I thought in one of your videos you forgot to turn the camera off when you were stoned and let it slip...... do yall just do weed or more fun recreational things besides the Rv of course? Great videos as always ....diesel up guys dont run out !!!
Just be safe, homophobia is there in the States. Just like a single woman isn't safe. Can you guys image I could walk from the hospital I worked in our capital in the middle of the night after a shift and be safe? I so wasn't used to being threatened that it took a while for me to get used to. It's insane but reality.
Definitely pay attention when hairs go up on the back of your neck.
As a Canadian I am proud that you are representing Canada, I am not gay I am a grandmother of 70 years old and very proud that you are fellow Canadian with class👍👍❤️🇨🇦
That is so incredibly kind of you, thank you so much for saying that!!
And Canada did huge contributions to the international space station and the space shuttle with advanced robotics! It’s even on the $5 bill
@louise petrilli Thankyou Grandma 💋
You rock grandma!
Wow your post makes me so happy. I'm in US but love Canada. My kids talk about living in Canada someday.💕 I just found Tyler and Todd and admire their love and everything about them.
I must take the time to compliment you two on the fact that you do NOT use unnecessary pranks on each other to create RUclips content. Please don't ever stoop to that low level. Really enjoy your day to day life videos. Keep up the good work.
It is so nice to how y'all get along with each other during the awkward moments. It's real. Being together all day everyday takes a special commitment. So envious!
The videography and editing worthy of award. You guys have raised the bar for sure.
Thank you so much Joe, you are too kind! We are trying to step our game up, and learning so much in the process. So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for coming along on the journey!❤️
Yes, the videography is great. I particularly like the drone shots over the water around the 5:25 mark.
Hi Boys my name is Mark. My husband and I live in Tampa Florida. I never never make public comments or opinions since everyone has one. Lol. However I feel a compelled to tell you how impressed we are with your life choices. You're living for today and planning for tomorrow. Most people don't do that. They either live for today, only, or plan for tomorrow, only, not both. We placed heavy emphasis on the planning for tomorrow part and didn't start really living until we were in our forties. I'm an electrical engineer and my husband is an architect. We saved and invested since college and now I'm retired at 50 and Charles decided to continue to work from home. We spend our money on traveling heavily around Europe but after watching your well developed videos we feel we're missing a great deal in our country. It's wonderful to see another gay couple living life and doing it smartly while enjoying each other's company. Thanks for sharing yourselves and your travels with the world. You guys are the best. Mark
I just ADORE you guys. I just found your videos and you brighten my day. Todd, you are SO funny and I love the way the two of you interact with Todd being funny and child-like and Tyler being more serious and sometimes parent-like. SO glad I discovered your channel.
I love how you two don't hide frustration! You show the loving but also the times you two get upset! Please keep letting us know of safe as well as unsafe/welcoming as well as unwelcoming places you stay at as a gay couple!!!!! Or add that to a blog! And who is pet-friendly? Restaurants too!! We all know that feeling of...uncomfortableness!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
We try and show it all!🤣 we do have a blog that we’re slowly building and putting recommendations and tips we’re learning while on the road. Check it out! www.tylerandtodd.com
"You pinched my arm fat!"😂 I've never seen a thinner married couple in my life.
I'm framing this comment
...right
@@tylerandtodd 😁
Safety is relative, so if you didn't feel safe, moving on was the right thing to do. Best to avoid a confrontation rather than try to survive it.
Completely agree with you Roger!
Fell asleep watching these videos and had a dream we were all hanging out as one big loving thruple. 😂 been watching your videos for years since you bought the land. Your representation of a close and caring gay couple is so important for the world to witness. Thank you for putting yourselves out there ❤
What I love most is that you seem to be just filming. Keeping it real. Not turning it on for the camera. Your little snips at each other, your frustrations and omg the Carl’s Jr view made me almost spit out my coffee!!! I hope you don’t ever get to where u feel u need to be phony and only show the sunshine and rosy lives we “all live” lol
Hi Robi...I really appreciate you saying that. That is what we're doing...Things aren't always rosy and it's important to us that we show the highs and lows in an authentic way. Thanks for the support, means more than you know!
I realize this is an older video, but I just wanted to say thanks. You guys bring so much joy and happiness into my heart. Anytime I need a break from this crazy life, or to escape the physical pain my body has me trapped in, I turn to one of your videos. Your smiles, the love you show each other (including Eddie & Charlie), just makes my heart smile. So, thank you for giving an old lady something to lose herself in from time to time. 💙
Wish we could tell you how much that means to us!
@@tylerandtodd awww Darlin' you just did. Thank you for that. You have me smiling like the Cheshire cat. 😁
You four, including the doggies, are such an amazing family. I hope we can cross paths one day, out on the road. Until then, I wish you peace and happiness.
What I love most about your channel is the relationship between you two. You are so beautiful together and it gives me hope that I may one day find someone too. thank you so much.
Ohhh my god, I found you guys. As a married gay couple my husband and I are ready to travel America in a small RV. You guy’s are an inspiration and a champion representative of every thing good. I’ve watched 2 of your videos and we are delighted to fallow your journey. God bless,stay safe and keep smiling.
I’m so glad y’all made a video about this because it’s like my biggest concern personally and with so few gay full timers posting about their travels it’s something I don’t hear talked about.
Preach babies. I love you guys so much. Been watching for a while. Just getting around to the older videos. So happy that you made it safely through this phase.
Sending love and reverence from India 🇮🇳.God bless you my brothers.
Much love to you too!!
Thank you guys for making these videos. I stumbled onto the channel and can't get enough of the videos. I have watched every one of the uploads so far and have given a thumbs up to each one. I can't wait for the next upload.
I just want to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos. I look forward to seeing them pop up every Sunday. I watch them and think, “Gosh these are so well done.” I know first hand how much time it takes to create these. Thank you for sharing your journey. Finally, I laughed aloud when Todd doggie paddled his vodka across the shot at the end! Enjoy Palm Springs!
Thanks Dewey, it’s definitely a lot of work but we’re having lots of fun making them! Thanks for noticing and the kind words!
Love the music and yes be safe first.
Thank you Rita!!!
I like how you’re edging more and more each episode into a cinema verité comfort zone. Editing really is where the art lies! Well done
Eddie's face when he popped his head from behind the pillow is a mooooood. His expression said "find your own spot loser" 😂😂😂 another enjoyable video guys. Happy travels and as always, good vibes and love. 💚💚💚
PS Eddie is officially my spirit animal 😂
HAHA eddie is a biiiiiig mood 😂😆
If I wasn't already obsessed with your channel/lifestyle, I was absolutely sold when you said "do you want to watch The Crown??" I love watching your adventures and it makes me excited for my own someday! Safe travels boys!!
As an interracial couple, I totally understand about being safe when traveling and going into new neighborhoods. Love how you guys work so well together. ❤️❤️❤️💋🥰😍😘
I love how Charlie and Eddie took up the bed when you were going to sleep. Love how snuggly our dogs are!!!
They always do...Eddie sleeps under our pillows lol
Thanks for constantly being so open with us! Just found your channel and love it😍
Welcome to our channel Noah! 💛
I love watching your videos because I get to see the country through your eyes. I love how you can laugh at each other without getting mad. Take care and be safe in your travels
So glad I found your channel. You two are so honest genuine . I'm glad we can come along on your journey. Stay safe.
Thanks for joining us Steve!!
Hey boys, glad you're back safely from Hawaii. One of the best things about your videos is the T&T banter. I love it! You guys really seem to have a terrific sense of humor, which I'm sure comes in handy on a daily bases! See you Wednesday...
Thanks so much Robert...we try to not take ourselves too seriously and are pretty dry. It can rub people the wrong way sometimes but it's normally those who can't laugh at themselves
@@tylerandtodd I agree. Sometimes people just need to lighten up. For me, you can keep those zingers coming! :)
Thank you so much for sharing your life. Please stay safe out there on the road. As a black single woman who travels alone there are many times that i leave and trust my spidey sense when it's unsafe for me. Have a lovely time on the road with your kids!
I’m actually in the process of going to full time RVing as well. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing. Not only is it enjoyable to watch but informational as well. Stay safe and thank you again!
Tyler and Todd,
Like the 2 of you, my partner, David and I have been together for over 10 years, (albeit we are a little older, let’s just say we are both over 50!) but I wanted to share that the 2 of us find it so refreshing to see the love that you 2 so openly express for each other!
We look forward to seeing each new vlog post, not only to see your continuing adventures, but to see the 2 of you and the loving interplay that you share with us all!
Of all that is available for young gay viewers on the internet, you two Gentlemen are the MOST positive visage of what OUR lives truly should represent as gay men and a gay couple in particular!!
You two are a gift and a blessing to those young people who do not have enough examples in this world of what a loving, caring, intelligent and yes, responsible gay male couple could, can and should be!!
My David and I thank you and send you our love to both you as well as your boys, Charlie and Eddie!!
Safe travels and happy adventures!!
😘❤️
Hey! I just wanted to tell you guys that you are amazing and bring me so much hope and joy. I am 20 years old and the last few year I have had so much negativity when it comes to me being gay. Seeing you guys travel, work, and love each other brings me hope for my future. I think it is super cool that you guys are doing and cant wait to see where you guys go next!
Love your videos. You two are the best. Also love your doggies. It is a sad fact that we all have to watch our surroundings to make sure we are safe. You two because of who you love and others cause of skin color. There are a lot of people out there that look down on people like me. I am Indian from the Colville Confederated Tribes in Central Washington State. There is a lot of hatred around. I think that is why I love you two. Your videos make me feel good and make me think that perhaps one of these days we can all treat each other with respect. I better stop. Love you two. Take care🐾❤️
Aww, Ruth you are too kind! It’s so unfortunate that there are some many bigots in the world, and they are getting louder, but love and good vibes will always drown out the hatred! Sending love to Washington!❤️
I always have to be hyper-aware of my surroundings when I go out and travel. I do it for safety and also to calm my anxiety. Loved the video! It made my day, especially with having being sick.
It sucks we all live in a time where we have to do that doesn't it?...hope you feel better soon!
So glad you guys are aware of the potential problems that could arise.
Hope you have lots of relax time & many great memories are made.
Love you guys & love your fur babies ❤❤❤❤
Aww thanks Sandi! Lots of relaxing occurring 🤣🍷
You guys are so brave to drive that route with an RV, especially in that fog. I drove in a car, and I was terrified. I also went to Glass Beach. I think it looks better on a sunny day when the wet glass is gleaming. Thanks for another great video!
Yeah it was a pretty sketchy drive not going to lie lol...that makes total sense about the beach, with all the light reflecting it would be gorgeous!!!
OK I left my ass off on this one….. ! Between the detour to the pee bottle discussion to the picture of I think it was Eddie with his head mushed against the door asleep as it was bouncing bouncing bouncing on the road was just too funny! As soon as I saw you guys in the hot tub I really hope that that was your Christmas card to family and friends because it was a beautiful portrait of both of you. I’m just so impressed with what you guys do ….oh! I,be been meaning to tell you the drone shots are wonderful and just beautiful and clearly a testament to your videography skills…. Love the sleepy morning wake up calls it just feels like I’ve known you guys forever and just thank you. Thank you!
Watching this in April 2022! You guys are in Palm Springs! I lived there (and Palm Desert) in 1990-92 after leaving Virginia, before moving back to San Diego. I didn't know you guys RV'd there so I must watch more of the older videos! Waiting for your Sunday show to appear, have some time to relax and watch. But I'm missing a beautiful day outside here (In VA again) but gas what it is now, staying in and traveling the day with you instead. See you in the "now" shortly.
Omg! When you guys were talking about driving through Los Banos I was like “omg, I used to live in Turlock which is like 10 minutes north of there!”
Glad you guys are safe and getting to relax.
Hope you love my beautiful Palm Springs. I never get enough of your videos and the adorable goldens!
You to are so flippin cute! I can't stand it! I love your banter and the sweet way you are with each other. I have to admit though, watching you try to fix that bent stabilizer under your RV was hilarious! While I was watching you whack it with that hammer, I actually said out loud "girl no." Not that I could do any better. Maybe you should have packed a lesbian!
HAHAH when we watched that back we were like omggg what a hot mess "we have to delete this"...
Packing a lesbian!! What a great idea!! How useful that would be!! OMG, I'm going to remember that for my next trip.
I could watch your videos for HOURS. Cant wait for the next. 🧡 stay safe.
Aww thanks Chris!
If you happen to get through 550+ comments b/4 mine...just want to tell you how impressive your camera work and editing have become. This video /vlog especially good. Beautiful work, you gentlemen both should be proud of content and presentation. Trust you found the relaxation you needed in Palm Springs. Been following the series but got hooked with this episode. Keep on truckin.
Hi Don...of course we get through them, chatting with everyone is one of the best parts in all this. I can't even tell you how much that means...I've been trying so hard to get better and learn how to create better quality videos. Each one I'm trying to push and push myself so it's amazing that is coming through. Have a wonderful week!
Pleased you decided to move to Palm Springs. Your safety is important. You are both so cute & I love both your smiles. Take care & lots of love 💖💖💖 Ashley.
I love your channel! As a queer person, I have been looking for someone that represents me in the larger Homesteading, Minimalism, Sustainable community. Thank you for your courage, leadership, and openness in sharing your life journey with the world. All the best to you both!
I really like the way you both talk about personal safety . Not in a paranoid way, but just being aware of the area you are in is always wise. I'm so glad to know that, because I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to either of you. I enjoy your continuing adventures.
Thanks William, I think it's an important thing for all travellers to keep in mind...being uncomfortable the entire time you're on a trip isn't fun at all!
Following your adventures. Excellent production values, btw.
Glad you’re having a wonderful time in various areas in beautiful California, and most importantly you’re safe and sound. Sometimes when I’m out with my boyfriend I carry a small block of steel in my laptop bag just to have peace of mind when traveling out in unusual places.
I even know a space shuttle aerospace engineer (Roger Boisjoly) who’s safety concerns weren’t listened to by his managers, and left the company after the challenger disaster.
It's pretty sad that in 2020 we still have to think like that...be safe
I love your opening trailer music so much!
It's positive, affirmative …
I so much also love 💕 to run away with you four guys …
You are the MOST wholesome dog dads. I adore you and your work 💖
THANK YOU TWO FOR LETTING US SHARE IN THE RIDE! ALSO THX FOR BRINGING UP SAFETY. MUCH LOVE*
Thank you for joint is Danny!❤️
I just found your channel and I have to say your dogs are the cutest. ❤🐶
I really liked this video . I have 2 gay sons , they both travel a lot and I do worry about them. It’s so sad that there are people ( I use that term loosely) that act that way. You both are so cute and I love your RV , it’s gorgeous!! Your dogs are adorable! 🐾🐕
Thanks for tai;king about this. Even after almost 30 years together, I still feel like I have to be aware of other people and the areas of the country we are in. You guys are great and love your channel.
When it comes to safety when travelling, I think you did the right thing to follow your gut instinct (or use your 'street smarts', as some call it). It might be different if you had two Rottweilers instead of those gorgeous Retrievers.
Haha that’s a very good point...maybe we’d have more space in our bed if we had Rottweilers 🤣
Obviously found your channel a little late but you guys are awesome
And I love just the daily routine videos too many people try to overglamorized living on the road but you guys show the ups and downs and still make it appealing
If you haven't had your jack fixed yet try hooking it up to the truck, wind all the other jacks up but wind the bent one down until it just touches the ground then try backing the whole thing back slowly. It should straighten. You may have to take it off the truck and lower the front once it is straight in order to wind it back up again. Anyway, good luck and stay safe!
Great tips! We haven’t fixed it yet, we’re just using the bottle jack we bought for the last jack that broke and it’s working fine for now. But we’ll try using the truck to fix it!🙂
Hi Guys, safety first for sure. Another amazing video. The quality of the photography is unbelievable, looks like your making a feature film. The scenery is breathtaking, and the way your filming it, I feel like I am seeing it real time. Your choice of music is also so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your RV adventures !!!
Aww thanks Ian...you’re too kind! We’re definitely learning a lot on this trip not only about living in an RV, but also about making videos. Still lots to learn. 🙂
The videography for "glass beach" was Fabulous! Watched that segment, I don't know how many times..."way to go guys" !
Hi guys! Started following around the time you started the container home in NS. Eureka is within what is called the Emerald Triangle. Humboldt/Trinity/Mendocino county are very big Marijuana farming counties. Lot of people move there to farm or work and the inhabitants can be unsavory. My parents grew up inland from there, we have property there still. Changed a lot over the years.
"How beautiful you two are," I say this because I am little older probably a lot because I was a teen in the 80's, and lived with the horror of what HIV & Aids to my generation as gay men. However, not to be melancholy of that part of time in history of my life. Now I can let go of most of all that hurt , ugliness & put it the past where it belong. Yes, not to forget those we I lost but see and enjoy the beauty of today. In short, I can be happy, content, and proud not prideful of being born a gay man in America again. Sincerely thank you for sharing your travels guys. Myron. PS: safety is always first it's not cowardly to walk way in that heated moment when other people have chosen ignorance, hate, bigotry or simply refuse any kind of understanding because of our sexuality. Also, sometimes its best to choose your battle in a difference time & place if you must.
Sincerely glad you have each other! My favorite boys)
Tyler and Todd !! You two are so great to include us in your journey! We are hoping you can oneday make your way to the Hudson Valley in New York. We live 10mins from New Paltz which is very gay oriented and we live over the bridge from Poughkeepsie.
We really appreciate your trueness & vulnerability. We agree 1000%.
Lou & Angie
I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. My husband and I started RVing in 2017. The only time we felt even remotely unsafe, was in a 24 hour Walmart in Manhattan, Kansas. I'm careful about where I choose to camp, and usually have reservations ahead of time. Rarely stay in an independent RV park. It's true there are a lot of homeless in California, and certain urban areas are scarier than others. I've always felt that when we are travelling, we are the only gay couple out there, however we do belong to a gay RV group here. By the way, we live in Palm Springs. Congrats on doing this. By the way, I've never seen people emptying pee bottles on LA freeways, and I've lived here since the early 80s.
You guys are Hysterical ... thank you for making me laugh out loud! I dont know which video it was but OMG the butter thing was way too funny.
On your way to Palm Springs .. I live here and hope you both enjoy your time in the desert. Life here is wonderful...
Thank u for sharing your travel experiences with all of us.
KB
FYI....your should join Harvest Host. Look it up very reasonable for annual fee, stay free at wineries and such, Hope your trip is going well, enjoy you both. We will be full timing later this year. Can’t wait!
Love it when you get a little tipsy...🤣 "cheer up buttercup"... my favorite line...🤗❤😗
😂💛
Thanks again for sharing! I enjoy your videos a lot! Even though I've RV'd for quite a number of years (not full time), I enjoy seeing a fresh perspective through your eyes!!
Aww thanks! We’re so happy to share! Hope you enjoyed your experience as much as we do!
Hey guys, a bit of a late reaction from me, but I just discovered your channel. I must say I love you both! And the channel! My BF and I have crisscrossed the whole of Europe for 30 years in our camper vans. We mostly spent the night at camperplaatsen (spots where you can stay for free in a camper and they’re in some of the most beautiful places). I can only remember one city in France that we felt so uncomfortable about that we left after dinner and spent a good deal of the evening finding a better spot. For the rest of the places we have visited, we never felt insecure. But then again we always had a very large and protective Hungarian Kuvasz dog with us and later also a, albeit smaller but just as protective, Dutch Friesche Stabij, wish I could include a picture of those two. No one could ever come near our camper without consent from us. Not even that bear up in the woods in Norway … That was scary though, but afterwards we felt pretty safe :-) I could tell you hundreds of stories. I do miss the traveling and the doggies …
You also have dogs with you; how protective and vigilant are they?
I look forward to every sunday now! I wish you were able to be safe and feel comfortable anywhere you go, but I'm glad the drive to palm springs was good! I love long road trips. I really like driving and listening to music!
Hi Kaitlyn...really happy to hear that. Us too, nothing better than a road trip with a good playlist!
can imagine that sometimes the travelling can indeed be very stressfuill. I bet you guys really enjoyed that hottuvb and had a really good nights' sleep! Thansk for sharing guys.
thanks for these videos which take me down my own "memory lane"! I've driven along the California coast from San Diego to Bakersfield, before heading back east by way of Grand Canyon on my way back to Manitoba; and I've driven from Vancouver down the Oregon Coast all the way to the Redwoods on a 2nd trip, and then through the midwest back to Saskatchewan ... both were beautiful experiences ... with the one exception of a tent-camping stop at the base of Mt. St. Helens, which was over-run with "bikers" ... the negative memory of that campsite was of going to take a shower, and every shower stall was filled with excrement!
Your video quality is just so good guys! Looks like your having a fun trip guys the views are just GORGEOUS!
Thank you Tom, really trying to get better! Appreciate the support and kind words!!
Tyler and Todd your views are breathe taking
Good video. You guys portray an honest description of what it’s like to actually live and travel in a trailer with the wonderment, boredom, setbacks and adventure! Be safe boys. Come to Las Vegas.
Really appreciate you saying that...we are going to be be going to Vegas pretty soon!
I wish a resort would sponsor you to do a review. You guys deserve a spa day or two. Stay safe boys❣️
🤣 I couldn’t agree more that we need a spa day! Lol
Hi Guys, you were smart to trust your vibe! Unfortunately some places just aren’t good spots for us. New to your channel & love it. StY safe & happy travels!
I absolutely adore your family!!! All 4 of you! Sending good vibes your way! ❤️❤️❤️
So much good vibes and love back at you Lori!
Omg I loved this video. As a trucker here in america I definitely recognized many things you guys pointed out. First being yreka. I love that area because MT. Shasta is near there in the town of Weed California. Small town, nice people and there's a travel stop called pilot. One of the major truck stops we trucker use. Good for parking your RV there. Same with the loves. I use that truck stop all the time. I'm actually parked here commenting on this video haha. A good amount of truck stops will have RV parking in the front parking lot. TA travel stops, Loves, Pilots and flying J's. All good places to park. If you can try to avoid the truck lot. Not saying you cant park there but some truckers are rookies at backing in and I've seen incidents where someone would wake up and find more than half the front of there truck spread across the parking lot. I spend weeks to months on the road trucking just me and my dog. He's a border collie/golden retriever mix. 8 years old. Walmart's usually allow parking but for us truck drivers there starting to not allow us to park there anymore. If we do we get booted. Not sure if it's the same with RV parking so be careful on that. I would HATE to see you guys wake up with a boot on your truck or RV when they could of simply asked you to move your vehicle. But some wont. Definitely take safety precautions when traveling. Especially in an area your not familiar with. All and all Loved seeing this video always wanted an RV myself. Love the western side of the US. I'm from NY state. Hope to see more stay safe!
Love your adventures guys! Every time you shoot Charlie and Eddie playing, our tiny 3-year-old Basset Hound barks at the screen and wants to join in!! ... especially if there's a close-up :)
😭that’s so cute!!
@@tylerandtodd She lets out just a little 'woof', but clearly wants to join in!
Hey.. i came across your vlogs on YT.. and i see you guys are adventurous.. God Bless you both always and the cutie doggos.
Spectacular drone shots!!!
Another incredible video!
Besos y abrazos!
Guys, thank you again for your entertaining and (since I hope to full time in a 5th wheel before too long) informative videos. I look forward to both postings each week. I pray, hope, and work for a day when no one has to fear because of who they are or whom they love. I am sorry you have to experience a fear that I don't have (I happen to be straight). It's real, yes, but not right. Take care!
Glass beach was so awesome 20 years ago! But you two would have been babies. I still have glass from the beach. Green, blue, red, brown, there was so much.
Hey you guys make a wonderful couple. If I had to be in a car for 15 hours with my partner, we would be getting on each other's nerves. It's great to see how you guys handle stress and work through it logically. Your dogs are really sweet too. I hope you continue to have many more great Vacations on the open road. The gas must cost you guys a fortune with that RV on the back of the truck. Also, the filming on the opening road that you took is amazing. You must have a drone with you. And the shots of the tires moving while driving on the open road, dude, how the hell did you hook up the camera to the front tire! Really amazing shots! Have fun and be careful.
Love to watch these older vlogs as well. I have to say they have gone through such an evolution as theyve been building their dream home.. look at them now!
Wow guys, that looked so cool. Well done on the video. Loved the pups tho, they steel the show..hahaha
I detest traveling! However, I'm so enjoying coming along with you guys on your ventures. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I just love every one of your episodes... THANK YOU FOR SHARING...
I am planning on starting my van life and as a gay single man I'm nervous about traveling this country but it's nice to see others doing it and being honest about their experience.
love your vlog.enjoying you letting us all go along on your journey
Great video! When the sharing pee bottle discussion occurred I almost rolled out of my chair! So, so, so funny! Loved it. “This conversation took a turn....” indeed!!!😂😂😂😂 So understand the safety issue. I am sixty years old and must walk with a cane. Have been mugged twice in Edmonton, downtown on Jasper, different areas, middle of the day, if you can imagine!!! Weapons and all! Has made me so much more aware of safety issues and has caused me to stop going to many, many places without being accompanied or being very certain there are a lot of people around! And I am a big guy, by all accounts, at six feet one inch tall and over two hundred pounds. We won’t go there! Ha!😳😳😂😂 Never imagined I’d have to deal with this issue but the new reality! Go with your gut is great advice! I get it! Glad you’re safe in Palm Springs! Have a wonderful time! 😃😃👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️Looking forward to the next video!
I am so, so sorry that happened to you...the nerve of someone to mug someone, let alone a person with a cane is absolutely baffling to me...stay safe and warm up there! Much love!
Two cute guys and two cute dogs, what more could you wish for on a Sunday. I'm glad I found you via Eamon and Bec's You Tube channel. Travel safely and I'm already waiting for the next video from your trip around the US. Hugs from Finland.
Thanks so much, love those two. Such positive forces in the world ✨
Tyler and Todd That is true! I had a Golden before, her name was Savannah, I miss here so much...the best companion ever! It’s so nice to see two gay guys being real and showing that it is not always unicorns and rainbows all the time! Real role midels 🤩🥰
Yay, you made it to PS!! Glass Beach had some amazing views and beautiful water via drone! Glad you're safe and no significant issues along the way ... enjoy your stay ... lots of hiking places there I've heard ...
Til next time .. xoxo ❤❤
Glass beach, was so beautiful! I’ve heard there’s lots of good hikes here too, only did one so far but hoping to get a few more in!🙂
I love the scenery!
Thanks for sharing this with us ❤️
I’m glad you made it safe, and I just love your video’s the hot tub looked fun, have a good time!
I completely understand where you guys are coming from. We traveled in our van for a year and there were certain spots that just didn’t feel safe. Even if the reviews were great, or the spot wasn’t necessarily sketchy. Our rule was that if it didn’t feel right, to move on. It’s all about following your gut instincts!
