    MOST campgrounds that have a faucet indicated as potable water pretty much expect people to be filling up their tanks, IF IT IS NOT MARKED with a sign saying not to. And the trash on the ground by camping slobs is why so many places where you use to be able to pull over at night to sleep a few hours before continuing are now marked as illegal to park overnight. The trash gets very deep and so many times piles of human fesses is left on the ground to cause the areas to be shut down to overnighters.

    Glad to see the Shakedown Cruise is under way. Nothing like figuring what works and what doesn't. Maybe add some descriptions of where you stay, the first place was quite nice with the tree growth,( I understand the need to protect your location from the bad elements, if your are posting videos a week or two later it shouldn't be an issue). There's an app called Plant Net that can help determine what trees, flora or fruit you are looking at.Looking forward to the Maine footage. Approaching 50k subs.

    1. Ref your plate: I have the same set of dishes.
    2. Mosquito lifespan: males 3-4 days, females up to 30 days.
    3. When someone asks why I do (whatever) I say because I want to.
    4. Trash at water point: I taught my kids to leave it better than you found it!.
    5. Internet: If you have cell service you can create a mobile hotspot.
    6. At 16 minutes: "Am I the only person here?" No. We are with you!
    7. Need and don't need: You need me to accompany you in my van!
    8. You're doing fantastic! Enjoy time with your son!

    One suggestion, we didn't see preparing for your hike but I watch 2 channels of people who earn their living in the outdoors and one of the two has come down with Lymes Disease in the last few months. Make sure when hiking that you "tickproof" yourself so there is no chance.
