    Every time you drop a video I click right away. Brian you are the only original van dweller on YT I still follow. You have not changed or deviate your aim all these years. I can’t help but to wish you health, safety, and joy for always. (Kelly is a God sent. Ever since you met her, you became more light hearted in your videos)

      I’ve always enjoyed my better half right beside me when traveling..we talk about where we are where we’re going and maybe what we will do there. We’re headed for 53 years now and still enjoy each other’s company more then any thing else. Our time now that we’re not working are spent with each other, and our grandchildren and great grandchildren.

    Wow wow wow Brian! This video has got to be one of the best you've ever produced. What an incredibly stunning area, and you were there at probably the most beautiful time of the year. At 14:42 I said "WOW" out loud - that water! The color! The view! And again, the fact that you let nature do the talking. Love when you get down low for a ground shot of the water and rocks on the beach. How lucky to come across that boat in that spot! Good luck to Kelly on her seasonal job and see her soon. Did you make enough money during the summer so that you don't have to work the beet harvest? First time in a few years you won't be there. Anyway, this video is going in my favorites list for sure to come back to watch again some day. Away you go!! 🌞

    My favorite video so far! Nice to see you two ditching the vans for a backpacking overnight. This may sound strange but I find a lot of comfort and hope watching your videos. This morning I’m preparing breakfast and packing a lunch before another long 10 hour day working at Trader Joe’s. I’m definitely on that work grind but my heart’s desire is to convert my minivan and hit the open road for a long, long time. It’s not possible YET but your videos are a way for me to manifest and keep my dreams present. Thank you so much for sharing! Thanks to you too, Kelly - I know you’re a bit more camera shy but it’s always nice to see you. Many blessings to you both!

We really appreciated this one in particular because we were at Pictured Rocks in early August. We were actually on that boat driving into the cove! It was so thrilling seeing it from your point of view. That hike looked awesome but we can’t do that anymore so thanks for doing it for us! 😆 We hope you and Kelly are back together soon.
