    Thank you for being you!! My little 9 yr old daughter and I love watching your videos. She loves your pup (like who wouldn’t ❤) & I love that you’re a genuine, good natured soul. It’s a shame there are horrible people out there. Hopefully, those people that make the bad comments NEVER go to Quartzite! They can stay at home and be miserable people on their couches. 😂

    Sometimes busy is good, you actually really get to enjoy the relaxation period afterwards... remember the phone level apps.

    Hello Amanda
    I am new to your channel and I really appreciate your straightforward clear instructions and advice regarding van camping simply! I don't know how anyone can give you a hard time or bash you and your vlog. It's nothing but helpful and uplifting. Just ignore those people and focus like you said on the people that genuinely appreciate you.
    I have a Chrysler Town and Country and I love it for camping! I'm just a part-timer or an excursion kind of camper at this time. But your tips are very helpful. I found you through Bob Wells and I'm so glad I did, because I look forward to your videos immensely! ☮️💜

    I like how you show people that they can simplify van life. A person doesn't have to have a tall van or rv to enjoy camping and the snow bird life. Love the penguins. 😊

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda

      Class A would be terrible. 🫣😂🤣 I can't imagine dealing with all that!

    Hi Amanda! Love the DIY AWNING! I've now added the poles to my "Boon docking" list on Amazon! Lol! I have a 9 mo old female chihuahua and I'm dreaming of doing the minivan camper vacations with her! Thanks for the videos! Screw the trolls. I also follow Lulu's Way. Have a wonderful time in Quartzite!
    Oh I have a QQQ: What is the season in Quartzite -- from when to when roughly? And is there a similar place in Kingman? I want to visit my dad.

    I love all your content, but I'm I'm really excited for the Quartzsite content. I'm hoping next year will be my year to finally get out there. And with all your videos, I'll already know my way around. Thanks, Amanda.

    I watched it all the way through! Do I win a prize? The first awning of that nature I saw was a friend of mine who lived in a van during the 80s here in Hawaii. It was made of bamboo and he used gallon water jugs filled and hanging from rope to weigh it down. In the Winter it can rain for several days in a row, he had figured out how to keep it up and to divert the rain. Simple times... like the way you are living.

    Unfortunately, there will always be nasty people, but your real followers love you! I'm currently in Ontario Canada, but will be heading south in a few days... Planning on visiting Roswell, then maybe camping near Las Cruces, and then hope to see you and Wynston at the meetup in Quartzsite.

    I do have a couple questions. Maybe dumb but here goes. To avoid parking, is there anything like a shuttle during RTR? Is there buses that go to Parker? What is the best pizza in Quartzsite and your favorite place to eat? A casual gathering area that is fun? Can you get a library card? Too much? Sorry... Luv ya, love your channel❣️ 🚌🍕🌮♟️🎱🎯🍸🍹

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda

      I will answer these in part 2 of my Quartzsite FAQ video. Thanks for the questions!

  • @seanwilson6521

    This is a question I'm asking everyone who has taken the time to share their nomad lifestyle. I have a minivan that I can use, but because of back issues, I can't live out of it full time. I want to use a glamping tent for extended stays. Have you seen tents used successfully there? I'm worried about the wind. The tent I'm looking at is a luna bell tent. It's like a regular bell tent, but it has ribs and taller sides. It's fun following you guys, thanks.

    Hi, new subscriber here. Really like your down to Earth, laid back style….no drama. I have never been to Quartzite but am planning to go in January to check it out. I was wondering if there is a concern about venomous snakes, scorpions and spiders? I’m not very desert savvy but I do have 2 dogs and want to make sure to take every possible caution for their safety. Thanks and love your channel…BTW, just ignore the trolls. They just do it randomly for their fun to get people worked up. 👍

  • @JeffGarrison-xz9qq
    @JeffGarrison-xz9qq 11 месяцев назад +4

    Great videos as always. Love what you tell us. If you dont have a black tank do they make you park by a pit toilet? Thank you and stay safe.

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda
      @AdventuringWithAmanda  11 месяцев назад +3

      No because I am not at an LTVA. I'm on regular BLM land, where there are no pit toilets.

    Will be coming to Quartzsite next season. First time and I'm 70. Do you have a generator? And what size (watts) is your power station? I have 800w Bluetti w/200w solar. Not sure I have enough for my needs. Smaller fridge will be electric. Bigger one propane. Thanks fir all the helpful info. Joe

      It's unfortunately been somewhat halted because my sister was in town for 2 weeks and my Grandma still isn't doing well.

  • @tammywright1980
    @tammywright1980 11 месяцев назад +3

    Yes...please...what is the protocol for leaving your stuff behind if you go into town? I know there us a 14 day max on BLM land and you get to move every 2 weeks, but.....Do people mess with your stuff if you leave it behind for the day? Thank you so much Amanda!!

  • @MonicaHernandez-yn8ct
    @MonicaHernandez-yn8ct 11 месяцев назад +1

    Love your videos, but I can't imagine myself spending 14 days in the desert, in the same place. What do you do there? Don't you get bored?

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda
      @AdventuringWithAmanda  11 месяцев назад +2

      I move every 5-7 days and go back to my home base, which is 90 minutes away, for about 3 days at a time.

    Ignore the haters. Everybody gets some of them. I realy like your videos; but I think you should slow down. Maybe just 2 or 3 per week or less. Some of my old favorites worked to hard & burned them selves out. Stay Safe & Have FUN. AL
