  • This week I hit the road in the newly restored truck camper shell and make a return to van life! I explore Northern NM around the Jemez Mountains and find a gnarly road right next to a massive canyon.

    Young man, first, let me say you’re a very positive guy, which I think is wonderful… I so enjoy your very entertaining and professional videos. I think you have tremendous talent not only in your ability to convey your messages, but also to figure out ways to do things in so far as repairing or organizing. Good for you and God bless.

    Holding your breath while passing through a tunnel! Love the child side of you.
    We used to lift our feet when crossing railroad tracks in the car.
    Thank you for the beautiful video.

    Beautiful video! The music you chose when you were showing the Gilman Tunnels was ON POINT. Definitely an old Western vibe. Can't wait to see more of your upcoming travels.

    What makes the tunnels dangerous is the rock slides. Great video by the way 👍🏼

    If you ever have a chance, you must go to Sedona Az for the most gorgeous red rock formations. I live in Prescott Az and I never tire of going to Sedona. Try to go during the week as the weekends are ridiculously busy.

    I have been to all the places you visited. I live in Rio rancho. Thanks for a beautiful video the erial footage is amazing. U need to camp a night in jemez. Stay at the first camp site going north I believe it's the 4 spot before the town of jemez and after the convention center. Sorry I don't recall the name. It's 10.00 a day but the night skies are a must see. Also if u drive towards Los Alamos there is a campsite called something falls. Once again I apologize for not knowing the name but the hike is gorgeous. Beautiful area to visit for sure. Love your videos

    I understand the privacy you are seeking in NW. If you can help me I'm in search of off grid county that easy with restrictions. If you don't mind tell me what county you in in NM? I been looking for a county that has opt out zoning. Thanks for your help

    I discovered your channel when it was more off grid living based. I’ll def be watching more with this travel format. Suvrv very much influenced my travel life and I’ve heard him say your vids were an influence on him. Looking forward to watching, cheers sir.

    Camera doesn’t constitute “WE” so who is we? Gilman was also a vast land owner and owned paper mills which I worked at one back in the day, I haven’t seen your videos in a while so were is Shannon?

    • @lesleyhughes3174
      @lesleyhughes3174 Год назад

      We, is us as his audience. We, is Nate and his home on wheels. Shannon is doing her thing. Nate is getting some time out self care. How relationships should be. Knowing that you can. The best kind of relationship. More should be able to feel that they can, but there's to much selfishness in this world!! Good on Shannon and Nate!! 👍👍👏👏
