- In this video we start out in Waynesboro, Virginia and head into Shenandoah National Park. We find a trail to get us into the backcountry and explore the areas nature environment. After an overnight in the woods we head back to the van for a hot meal cooked up in the camper van. Thanks for coming along.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

Freedom and good food! Thats what I'm talking bout. God Bless America.
I’ve come to realize that the West blows my mind, but the East warms my soul. If that makes sense. I grew up in the East. I’m an Eastern woodland creature. I wish more you tubers would spend more time over here. Thanks, Brian. Great short film.
What a great saying and I know exactly what you mean. Hubs and I live in NJ (I'm originally from central rural PA) but are currently traveling through the western states and we have noted a similar sentiment. Many things out here are so spectacular and jaw-dropping that it's almost an assault on your senses. The forests and hills of the east are understated yet soothing and calming.
Nothing good happens on Monday except for a video from adventurevanman
😊
You and Kelly are great together in your videos.. Well shot and edited ..thanks for the upload
Dolly Sods, Spruce Knob & Spruce Knob Lake and Seneca Rocks in West Virginia is fantastic, too. Thanks for taking us along in the green hills. Blessings Abound.
You are a lucky guy to have Kelly as a girlfriend, since she enjoys doing all the things that you like to do. Great traveling partner.
Very cool camera work on the hike. That meal was making me hungry. Love how you just wing it and it turns out great.
Hey Brian you and Kelly sure make a Great couple going camping really enjoyed the video man ty
Enjoyed "our" hike & wonderful meal, thank you❗👍😇
Kelly really adds to your videos. I really enjoy all your videos, keep up the good work and keep getting more of Kelly in them.
What ! No ‘ heart patterns ‘ in the camp coffee 🤠 LOL
Love Kelly - “We need some leveling jacks,” “Did you make those little hearts in my coffee?” Love it. 🤣❤️
She won me over on the hearts in my coffee :)
I always find your videos inspiring for some reason. Maybe it's just your demeanor of calmness 👍
Beautiful hiking and camping spot. I bet that does feel good seeing the truck after a long day of hiking. The food looked so good too! Thanks! 😀
I would say this is just about perfect! Thanks Brian for another fantastic video!
Gorgeous views. Your camper box truck turned out just awesome. So glad you and Kellie can travel together so often...always fun to share the experience. Thanks for making these videos.
Enjoyed it, thanks for taking us along! Great meal Chef Brian!
Welcome to my neighborhood. I love living in the Shenandoah Valley and playing in the Blue Ridges that surround.
Your videos are so well made. Thanks for having me along.
Leveling jacks. 🤣🤣
Beautiful GREEN everywhere 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳✌️
So glad that you and Kelly found each other. Great couple
Again, thanks for sharing all your beautiful views, flowers, waterfalls...
God bless and safe travels.
Thanks again for great video of the outdoors. Appreciate ya'll.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful hike!✨ I love all the 💚💚💚 and the waterfalls!💙
Great hike Love the Appalachian mountains, you guys look like your loving life, I sure am loving your videos Brian, an Kelly, thanks for taking me back and sharing your joy of life
Brian & Kelly that looked like the perfect overnighter ! Good hike and good food and good company ! Awesome. Safe Travels Amigos!!
Great video. I love your hiking videos with you and Kelly. The photography is crystal clear on the 65 inch tv... Just lovely scenery.
Wow. That confidence around snakes is something I’ll NEVER have
Love the five books on your shelf -- the four field guides and the map of the galaxy. Nice.
Great video again. I really like that you leave the nature noises in without music. Nice to have Kelly in this one too. I would just once love to see you taste your food, make a disgusted face and spit it out - it can't ALWAYS be good, can it? 😁 Now, of course, I'm hungry again.
Thanks for taking us along. Next project tent leveling jacks 😂 and practice making those little hearts for Kellys coffee 😊 Peace.
Wow! How beautiful!! Was on Skyline Drive once at 12 yrs old with my family. Don’t remember a thing about it except my dad did not like the decent, down to Luray, VA. Glad to see your face Kelly!
Thanks for bringing us along on your nice adventure hike and camping expedition!!
So nice to see you again. Enjoyed your video with my morning coffee. That was a beautiful hike. Ty for sharing.
Thanks for taking us along on your overnight hike. Absolutely beautiful area!
Really enjoy your adventures 😊. Kelly is beautiful and has a smile that lights up the whole screen ☺️☀️.
Beautiful!
Great to see you in my backyard! In my backpacking youth, we always tended toward the Blue Ridge side of the AT in Virginia because we could have campfires, and that was really important to us back then. Today I could probably deal better with the restrictions. Priorities change. BTW I've been told our Virginia "hills" were taller, in their youth, than your West Coast "mountains" ever were. Thousands of years of erosion have softened them a bit, but I still love them. Thanks for sharing.
Great video 👍 Beautiful hike. Thanks for taking us along😎
Hey Brian and Kelley...thanks sharing your hike and nature views... beautiful park....✌️👍💞
Great video !!!Thank you for taking us with ,big hugs from MN
Great hike, beautiful country and awesome streams. Very serene. Good job on the video. Trek on!

I have not gotten used to seeing you standing up inside the van. Awesome upgrade and I am sure you are really enjoying it. Great new home.
What a fantastic hike you two had! And I love cooking with a pressure cooker- it makes soo many items better! Thank forthe video!
The flowers you filmed were lovely. The twisted vine was interesting too.
I feel like I say this a lot, but it’s from the heart: thanks for bringing us along!
Looks like a great time. I love how you can be in the parking lot cooking up a meal.
Love how you continue to evolve the cooking parts of the videos!
Love the flowers along the way, more please
This video was worth the wait, thanks for sharing
You and Kelly are the best! 💕
Beautiful views :o)
Excellent thank you for sharing your adventures!!
So nice to see you with the room in your rig to stand and relax.

Great editing Brian. Always look forward to seeing how you guys are doing...
Love the mountains. Thanks

Thanks for the video Brian! Enjoying the travels through areas I’m familiar with and have never seen.
I love all your videos, but I really enjoyed this one!! Safe travels!!!
Awesome place, great video too...you two take care and enjoy life....waiting for next video
What stood out was Kelly smile and that braided tree. Nice hike.
Shenandoah National Park is beautiful and a favorite of mine. Big Meadows campgrounds is very popular and a short walk from camp is the Lodge and the pub for a drink and some Bluegrass music. Enjoying watching your videos
Very enjoyable, relaxing video. So much beauty out there.✌
Lovely. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Hi Brian hi Kelly Brian it's nice just to see you standing up straight cooking and eating and enjoying life. The Appalachian Trail section hikes are a lot of fun.
Thanks Mark! ✌🏼
Virginia has lots of cool places
Nice video Brian ....
Cool hike man, you guy's Take Care
Great looking healthy meal. Really enjoying you being east of the Mississippi
Awesome, love that small pressure cooker sweet
Brian, love the intro, Indian flute is so calming. Thx
I love your videos! The content is great and so is the quality! I really enjoy the background music also. It just always fits perfectly!
Hi y'all !
Beautiful scenery, even if the mountains are shorter I think they are prettier than out west, we have more trees and green grass, my idea of beautiful. I'm in Tennessee now, enjoying the scenery and nice weather. Happy Trails to all our nomad friends !!
Beautiful! I am a NW native and West coast girl, but have been enjoying your videos of east coast travel, might convince me to travel there! I never seem to make east of the Midwest......then the snakes didn't help! Lol. But sure enjoy having Kelly in the videos!
Thank you for the beautiful video❤️
Very nice guys thanks for sharing! Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
Love cafe Bustello never knew that they made instant coffee ☕ thanks for enlightening me 👍
Bella, bella, bella !
Brian, I have enjoyed your channel. Keep it up 👍
YES! I love this. I'm from east coast VA and I am building out my van home to travel and work in film/TV this year.. I am so psyched! Thank you for a great video!
Enjoyed your video! Haven't watched one in a while. Sometimes I feel a little guilty cuz I don't watch a lot of RUclips videos, but I guess I have an interesting enough life I don't need them. Not trying to be disrespectful. Enjoyed the video and have a great day!
All the journey you share
Beautiful...Take care
So much more area to prep your food. Luxury!
I love how you scold people for littering & thank you for picking up after them. My beloved cousin & her boyfriend live in Waynesboro-thank you for showing me around. When my honey (mechanic) was alive-we traveled in a class C. I loved going to the laundromat-strip the bed sheets/etc wash/dry& put them back on the bed 👍 Groceries from store to frig 👍 May God bless you & Kelly 👋 🙏🌎✌💞
I don't understand why people leave their trash. The idoits will throw the trash on the ground and walk past a trash can as they walk to the car.☹
@@tomcaldwell5750 #giveashit and #responsiblestewardship
You guys rock. Happy trails.
Very cool, Van Dude. ✌️😁👍
So lush and pretty!
Really enjoyed this video also your hotpot looked really tasty.
I am really hungry after that vid beautiful country thanks for that.
Thanks Brian another great vlog, really enjoy the hikes.Wondering are visiting ,live simple live free couple.
I think they moved to Va .I remember they liked your channel. Anyway enjoy your travels.Blessings to you and Kelly.Bob here in Maryland
Beautiful country back there wow you’re so lucky. Brian on my 62 birthday I made a B line to Yosemite National Park to get my America beautiful card, back then for seniors it was only $10 for lifetime and now it’s $80 for seniors for lifetime. At $80 if you use it is still a good deal per year and if you are a senior the pass is good for life. I remember I couldn’t wait to turn 62 just so I could get that pass for $10 it wasn’t long after I bought it that they raise the price to $80.... enjoy the beautiful back country and travel safe.👍🏻😊
I got my lifetime pass at 62 at mammoth cave, paid for itself. I wish I'd known they were free if you are disabled.
@@gregpeterman1102 wow!! I did not know that, I will pass on that information. Thanks
@@RonInAVan I learned that from my twin brother whom got one free because the park ranger saw him using sign language to communicate with his deaf wife, he is not really disabled.
First off, thank you 🙏🏻 for being such a considerate person and always picking up debris left behind by others!! Secondly, thank you sharing this gorgeous adventure 🌄 It's now on our growing list of must-sees!
Hello to Kelly, and safe travels..... PeAcE!
Great to see kelly, hope more of you two, maybe even a tour of her van!
Great video brother...love the back packing in and having a fully stocked and ready cabin waiting for your return. Thanks for sharing. Adventure on!!
Thanks for talking more about your baby box van & your reasons for choosing it vs living in a regular RV.
Like you, I like to build my own rigs. I want it WELL BUILT & only what I need out on the road or back country. Conventional campers don't fit the bill.
Well done vid. You have the secret to a happy life figured out 🚚........
