Congratulations on your two years on RUclips!! My, how time flies! You two have accomplished so much in the last two years! We are very proud of you! 👏🎉🐢
I for one have thoroughly enjoyed these past two years! You both have grown, and shared so much of your life with all of us... incredible content. The glow of the outdoor fire place was just incredible. And I can't get over how crisp and clear the stars are!! It's like when night time the heavens flip the switch and the stars come alive!!!! The night sky is absolutely stunning with the stars aglow. Thank you for sharing!!! Toledo 💙
My heart is happy and warm seeing y'all celebrate the "On the road" anniversary❤🚐! Added note: just be glad y'all weren't there in Moab during the recent snowmageddon!
I am so glad to hear that you visited the NPs even though you couldn't film there w/o a permit. I think it is so important to have your own life aside from just structuring everything around the potential to create content. I am so glad the Pancake has been so great and help you take your travels to the next level.
Wow! 2 years! It has truly been entertaining and heartwarming to watch your journey. Your personalities and your love for each other makes it so much fun.Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep going. Keep growing.
That looked like an awesome trip!! It was probably nice to take a break from the van for a night and experience that!! I plan to do that as well every once in a while if I see something cool like this on the road! Awesome video guys!! Oh and happy 2 years on RUclips!!
Well I'm still loving the channel after 2 years and look forward to videos! Just a FYI on the stove. If you had the wood further to the front, you would have felt more of the heat. I'm in a house still but have had a wood stove for 16 years. Happy 2 years!
I know you guys were sad selling the bus. I watched you guys build that bus. I know how proud you both were and you will always have those memories. But you have the next chapter to make new ones. Safe travels. Love ya both
Very cool I had no idea of places like this. I'm glad you filmed this so we on utube are all aware of the camp. I'm full-time being paralyzed so I go through alot. I've been on utube since Dec 7th of 2018 congratulations to the both of our channels take care cool channel you both share.
Happy Anniversary! It does not seem like two years already! I think I'd require a bit more "glamp" if I were to give this a try! The stills you took at Arches were really nice! Good composition with the exception of the one where a tree was coming out of Nat's head ( well not really that was a good shot too!) Looking forward to the next adventure!
Congrats on 2 years. The time has flown, but y’all have worked so hard! I’m really glad you treated yourselves to something special to celebrate. Much love from SC, Jane❤🙏🏻
I have to laugh...we started "full timing" in 1994, thinking we might go for 1 or 2 years....fast forward to 2023 and we're still at it! We've "upgraded" to much larger RV's, but still in RV's none the less.😁 Your videos are awesome...thanks so much! 💖
And many more years to come!? I do enjoy your channel because you both are easy to listen to, compliment each other in so many ways, mind all the rules and both seem like you actually want to do what you are doing. Have fun and see you on your next visit to us.
Congratulations on your 2 year filming on RUclips. You did great cooking out. The tent looks nice and cozy. Enjoy! Who helps you with your video's, because the drone shots are awesome??
No food in the tent? Ridiculous! Plus this resort should at least offer a continental breakfast. Other than that, it looks pretty cozy. Great video, thank s for taking us along.
What a really nice camping trip in the tent, glad you had the experience , looked like fun with the old fashion games, to cold for me , 😊congrats on your two years on RUclips,
Happy two year Anniversary!!! And it seems to me that your van is way more accomodating and comfy than those so called fancy glamping tents!!! Here's to many more great future adventures and much happiness and fun!!! 🍃🤗🍃 and so many big fat hugs!!!
They have started glamping camp grounds around Australia... to be honest I'm a "baby boomer". I grew up in Michigan and always slept in a tent till I got a VW Camper after I got married in 1969... I moved to Australia and bought a tent with a screen dinning extension made by Black Wolf... strong as all get out have had mine for over 9 years, and taken my sons and grand kids... At age 74' I got a teardrop trailer and a 4 wheel drive van. We can still find old style camp grounds here with fire pits and none of those massive expandable hotels on wheels all my American family seem to love...??? ... I considered a camper van like yours, but it's just not the same... have fun and be safe.
Omg! This was my favorite hike while in Moab! I was brand new to hiking and at the brining of my “Get Healthy journey” and it was a huge challenge for me! You two are so fun to watch! I’ve never known anyone else to go to Corona & Bow Tie so I am happy you appeared to like them as much as I did!
Well done you two. Many years ago when I was in California,. my aunt, uncle and I stayed in a tent in Yosemite National Park. It was amazing but it was in September and not cold. Maybe consider that at another visit to California. The scenery was breathtaking, mountains - rivers and great fun. Thanks for sharing ! 😺😺🍀🍀😺😺💚💚
As cooking used to be me job ,I thought Jimmy could be what we used to call ourselves on board ship and that is 'cabbage machanic' and before you ask yes we cooked meat aswell as vegetables. Keep up the good work .
Two years and many more to go. Thanks for sharing your glamping stay. Happy anniversary you two. Keep up the great content love watching you guys. Look forward to your next adventure.
FYI: (backstory and useful information) When we were younger and tent camped multiple times each year, in our bathroom bag we kept a length of paracord with a dog clip and a loop, clip onto the pull chain and put your foot in the loop, now you have two free hands and full time water flow. For the types with a lever on the valve, we just used a bungee cord. Also, Moab is on our bucket list.
Happy 2 year RUclips anniversary Jimmy & Natalie! I have been following you guys for quite some time and I have to say I adore how you two love each other. Both if you encourage and edify one another and it is refreshing to see. Keep being you. Blessings, Crystal Wigglesworth
Happy RUclips anniversary 💕. I for 1 are so glad you started your channel. My husband and I tried glamping ONCE and we decided we much prefer our Coleman 2 room tent, air mattress, and sleeping bag. We had our buddy heater.
Very cool👍🏻 congratulations on 2 years on RUclips, you guys have come so far. Best of luck on many more years on RUclips and many more years of adventures. Safe travels.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉🎉 I’ve been with you from day one…..You are us once removed…..I can’t travel so you travel for me…and what a ride it’s been…..you guys are so normal even down to your hot dog and veggie dinner btw everything is better with Ranch…..Jimmy you’re my person on that…..I am looking forward to years of traveling with you ….you two ROCK!!
Congratulations on your two year anniversary!!! And......congratulations on your bus being sold. Gorgeous views!!! So weird about the filming rules in National parks!! The tent looked AWESOME!!!
Hello guys, congrats on your two year anniversary. I am still watching from the start and on ep 100. I loved the skoolie build and the van, you guys are so talented and should be real proud of yourselves i would buy or pay for you to do a conversion for me i think your work is stunning, maybe you could start your own van build company some day, who knows. Anyway i am loving your channel and story and it is becoming my new favourite. Take care guys look forward to your next vid.
Hey you two, what a perfect matched couple. Congrats on your 2 year RUclips adventure. I enjoy all your posts and hope you continue. I'm glad also you were finally able to find a buyer for your bus. You both Rock!
So glad you’ve reached a 2 year milestone 🎉🎉🎉 on RUclips - love your channel- wish you continued success through your travels -how are you fairing now that you switched to the van from the bus ? - you’ve done so well with both skoolie and van- yeah
I have three friends in the higher echelons of that glamping company and they seem happy with it. Looks okay, but meh a hotel would be better. Moab is not the same as it was back in the 1990s when we camped pretty much anywhere along the river for free and there was great showers at the bike store and parking was easy. Arches these days is so over-run too, even in the winter I had a hard time finding a place to park when hiking. Glad you guys had a good experience and congrats on two years.
Thanks for another great video! @jimmy all the great chefs call themselves cook, crack on with it! I hope once our van is built Leo and I can have half the fun you both do!
Congratulations on two years guys I hope you decide to do it many more years You're still very young and still have many more years of life in you Safe travels always God bless Godspeed from your friend in Michigan Tam 💜💜
Good to see you guys. I hope someday to own a van like yours. but for now my 2011 Transit Connect will have to do. Much love and respect for you two. I love your videos. You should do more Live Videos.
Hi guys another top video full of content and well informed video as always you put safety first stay safe out there and keep up the good work from the 🇬🇧
Nice Celebration For Your Anniversary 🎉! Merit Badges Jimmy Might Not Have Earned Cooking, Astronomy,Wood Stove(if there is one) Next Time Call Dad! Looked Awesome,Scenery Breathtaking! All The Best Happy Travels! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
Thanks for sharing your adventures and 2 years of RUclips with us. I’m upset with the national parks ban. Your videos and those of other tubers allow us to enjoy the parks without the hikes. I love the Moab area. I prefer Canyonlands and dead horse more than Arches. It’s all good.
The problem with the Federal Parks and the rule that says you have to have a permit if you are making money, is that was originally meant for big Hollywood productions and not for RUclipsrs that are in all actuality, armatures compared to the production houses from Hollywood and TV.
That was cute and funny when you two were huddled in bed. You really conveyed how chilly it was. Still think you guys went at a great time - virtually no crowds and weather was "cool" .
It's true there is a trick to managing a fire in a wood stove. There is an air intake port at the front of the stove that you want all the way open when you first start the fire, as fire needs oxygen to create combustion. However, once the fire is established, put on new wood and close down the air intake port to about 1/4 to 1/2 way closed. This slows the rate of combustion and creates more heat inside the stove, which heats the metal sides of the stove and thus radiates the heat into the room. A fire in a wood stove with the air intake port fully open (or the wood-loading door open) sends most of it's heat out the chimney, reducing the heat radiating into the space to be heated. If you want to be able to reignite the fire in the stove come morning, without starting a new fire in the stove from scratch, you need to "smoor" the fire in the stove just before going to bed, which entails putting a couple of larger logs on the fire and then nearly closing the air intake port. The reduced airflow to the fire will reduce the rate of combustion even further, which will lower the temperature of the fire a bit, but will also create a very slow, steady burn thru the night while you sleep, and leave you with still hot embers in the morning to refuel your stove with. I lived for almost a year in a fairly large 2-story log home (about 1600 sf) heated only by a wood stove, and between my boyfriend and I we only used a single match in late September to keep the fire in our wood stove going until late December and the only reason we let it go completely out then was because we had to clean the ashes out of the stove. Our sleep schedules varied from each other's by several hours, so the fire was never untended for more than 6-7 hours. But even if left untended for a full 8-9 or even 10 hours, if one of us had smoored the fire before bed, there was still enough residual heat in the embers the next morning to restart the fire with kindling (and no match) once the ashes and embers were stirred up a bit. If left untended for 6 hrs or less, no need for kindling, just stir the embers and set new fresh wood on, open the air intake port, and viola! In under 5 minutes you have a brand new fire burning fresh fuel and you can throw another log or two on, then turn down the air intake valve. It's actually very easy once you get the hang of it, but a very different fire management system than a campfire. Last tip for heating with a wood stove: wood heat is extremely dry heat, so keep a large tea kettle on a less hot spot on the stove (or even not on th stove, but very close to it) to provide humidity. Tossing aromatic herbs into the pot also can be nice, but check water levels in the pot regularly, as you might be surprised how quickly the water in the pot evaporates and then the herbs dry up and start to burn/scorch, which is a rarely a pleasant smell. Don't ask how I know this, hahahaha...
I’m old (51) and have to agree with Jimmy ranch on hotdogs is a must. Although Ms Natalie my daughter also named Natalie would agree with you and say ketchup is a must. Love you all and always make this old man feel young again.
Congratulations to you both!! Though we are on our own journey now (the Monte Cristo Bus) we still tune into every episode and enjoy your journey as we have since we started watching!! Hope you guys continue to entertain us lol

For the muddy shoes get a stiff bristle boot brush and put it in the van and use it to brush and gravel.I put mine in ziplock under the seat.
Congratulations on your 2-year vlogging anniversary. Keep going. You're doing great!

Thanks for sharing your journey. 💕

Nikki Delventhal was just there in the same two arches - she even filmed that ladder.
Hi guys, that looked interesting, BUT, i thought Glamping meant luxury. anyway Happy two year RUclips anniversary. Hugs, Louise
Wood likes company to burn well, keep 2 or 3 peace's at a time.
Good job on the Two Year mark.
Good to see you guys. I hope someday to own a van like yours. but for now my 2011 Transit Connect will have to do. Much love and respect for you two. I love your videos. You should do more Live Videos.
You two are amazing together I love watching you both
congrats Jimmy and Natalie ! I have always wanted to do glamping; it was beautiful.
I wonder if perhaps a propane heater would have been a better selection for this type of tent.
Cool. Happy two year time. 👍 🇺🇸
Congratulations!

Congratulations
🎉congratulations!!!!!
Try the Ranch, Natalie... one of us, one of us, one of us...
Thanks for sharing your adventures and 2 years of RUclips with us.
I’m upset with the national parks ban.
Your videos and those of other tubers allow us to enjoy the parks without the hikes.
I love the Moab area.
I prefer Canyonlands and
dead horse more than Arches.
It’s all good.
The problem with the Federal Parks and the rule that says you have to have a permit if you are making money, is that was originally meant for big Hollywood productions and not for RUclipsrs that are in all actuality, armatures compared to the production houses from Hollywood and TV.
That was cute and funny when you two were huddled in bed. You really conveyed how chilly it was.
Still think you guys went at a great time - virtually no crowds and weather was "cool" .
To be honest I'd be happy watching you shoot videos of bear poop! You guys would make it fun and interesting! LOL
😂 true!
It's true there is a trick to managing a fire in a wood stove. There is an air intake port at the front of the stove that you want all the way open when you first start the fire, as fire needs oxygen to create combustion. However, once the fire is established, put on new wood and close down the air intake port to about 1/4 to 1/2 way closed. This slows the rate of combustion and creates more heat inside the stove, which heats the metal sides of the stove and thus radiates the heat into the room. A fire in a wood stove with the air intake port fully open (or the wood-loading door open) sends most of it's heat out the chimney, reducing the heat radiating into the space to be heated. If you want to be able to reignite the fire in the stove come morning, without starting a new fire in the stove from scratch, you need to "smoor" the fire in the stove just before going to bed, which entails putting a couple of larger logs on the fire and then nearly closing the air intake port. The reduced airflow to the fire will reduce the rate of combustion even further, which will lower the temperature of the fire a bit, but will also create a very slow, steady burn thru the night while you sleep, and leave you with still hot embers in the morning to refuel your stove with.
I lived for almost a year in a fairly large 2-story log home (about 1600 sf) heated only by a wood stove, and between my boyfriend and I we only used a single match in late September to keep the fire in our wood stove going until late December and the only reason we let it go completely out then was because we had to clean the ashes out of the stove. Our sleep schedules varied from each other's by several hours, so the fire was never untended for more than 6-7 hours. But even if left untended for a full 8-9 or even 10 hours, if one of us had smoored the fire before bed, there was still enough residual heat in the embers the next morning to restart the fire with kindling (and no match) once the ashes and embers were stirred up a bit. If left untended for 6 hrs or less, no need for kindling, just stir the embers and set new fresh wood on, open the air intake port, and viola! In under 5 minutes you have a brand new fire burning fresh fuel and you can throw another log or two on, then turn down the air intake valve. It's actually very easy once you get the hang of it, but a very different fire management system than a campfire.
Last tip for heating with a wood stove: wood heat is extremely dry heat, so keep a large tea kettle on a less hot spot on the stove (or even not on th stove, but very close to it) to provide humidity. Tossing aromatic herbs into the pot also can be nice, but check water levels in the pot regularly, as you might be surprised how quickly the water in the pot evaporates and then the herbs dry up and start to burn/scorch, which is a rarely a pleasant smell. Don't ask how I know this, hahahaha...
Happy RUclips ANNIVERSARY so happy for you!
I’m old (51) and have to agree with Jimmy ranch on hotdogs is a must. Although Ms Natalie my daughter also named Natalie would agree with you and say ketchup is a must. Love you all and always make this old man feel young again.
Congratulations to you both!! Though we are on our own journey now (the Monte Cristo Bus) we still tune into every episode and enjoy your journey as we have since we started watching!! Hope you guys continue to entertain us lol
