  • In this video I go exploring around the Superstition Mountains in Arizona. Then we get some heavy rain, hail, and some snow on the mountains. I stay cozy in the van and cook up a meal on the campstove while the rain comes down.
    Thank You For Being Here.
    *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!

    ⚡Wow, Brian (hi to Kelly and Hobbs, as well!), you're about to cross that 100,000-subscriber threshold! I've been watching you're channel almost since the beginning and I can't wait to see you mounting that RUclips 100,000 plaque to the inside of your rig. Come on everyone, let's carry Brian and @AdventureVanMan over the 100,000-sub finish line!

    @leapinlizard9487 8 месяцев назад +5

    Hey Brian, beautiful photography, very nice video of the Superstition Mountains. In most domestic breeds of cattle in the U.S. both the bulls & heifers have horns. There are some breeds that are born hornless (called polled cattle) This breed was Texas Longhorns. They are known for having good rangeability meaning they will forage widely for their food in rough territory like the Superstitions. They can go longer than some breeds without water and their hoofs hold up to the rocky terrain. Warning there is nothing more dangerous than a cow trying to protect her calf from a perceived threat, they will gore you or flat run over you. On range cattle ranchers like to leave the horns on the cattle so they have better protection fighting off predators like coyotes, wolves, bears & mountain lions. Cattle raised in a feedlot or dairy farm environment usually have their horns removed when the calves about 200-250 lbs. This allows the cattle to feed closely together from a linear feed bunk without them putting each others eyes out with a horn. Also hornless cattle are easier to get into a squeeze chute to brand, castrate, give shots or apply ear tags.

    Just a note: I have a great original recipe for Stroganoff and it’s unbelievably simple and delicious! Ingredients are Sirloin (or ground beef in a pinch) In butter chopped onion, salt fresh ground black pepper and salt, sautée meat and onion(till translucent) add fresh mushrooms,(sliced), sauté for a few minutes turn off heat and add sour cream., stir in. Pour over medium flat egg noodles.. absolutely delicious!! No garlic or Worcestershire or anything else! The Russian recipe..Enjoy
