I looked it up: the goldfish clean up algae and insect larvae. Cool!

Not unusual. Rancher goes to pet shop and buys a bag of young gold fish to put in a water pond or two. After that just keep spreading them around. Protects cattle and horses from mosquito carrier diseases while feeding the fish. 😊

@@angel4874 Irl, there is no way to avoid poop. Unless you're an extreme germaphobic wrapped in plastic, taking an alcohol bath and sterilizing every thing you touch your going to consume poop. But that is also why I mentioned a water filter. Besides, if your used to fields with large critters you're going to step in it. Even eating critters means some poop with them. Still, cleanliness is better than infecting yourself. 🥴💩

I have a pond in the yard, goldfish work great for it, and less mosquitoes. 👍

In this crazy world I come here to see a calming video of a man in a van. Thanks B

Gotta tell ya Brian, you helped me out this morning. My 20 year old grandson passed away April 7th in a car accident, and mornings are very hard for me. He was more like my son. This video brought some calm over me and helped get me going to face the day. Thank you.

Life hunter so very sorry for your loss. I can understand how this particular video of Brian’s helped you through the morning. This was a peaceful beautiful calm look at Mother Nature and how she also heals our souls by her beauty in the desert. 🌵

lifehunter6426, so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself and try to get out in nature if you can, it really help's. It may be helpful to find a grief support group. Losing loved ones is really hard especially when they are so young.

That green stuff is called chrysacola and is caused by copper. ☮️

The bird’s nest is for a cactus wren. They make nests in saguaros and chollas. The state bird of Arizona.

I feel relaxed watching you relaxing, life is too short not too stop and soak in mother nature’s beauty!😊

Always happy to get the notification that you have a new video!

From Microsoft Copilot: Natural Cleaning: Goldfish can help keep the water trough clean. They feed on algae growing on the trough walls and floor, as well as mosquito larvae and some insects that may fall into the water. Their natural behavior contributes to maintaining water quality.

Exactly what I came to say. A well known technique.putting some frogs around a natural spring source works the same. Or turtles. Sometimes cattle tanks contain brine shrimp like large desert hollows in rocks with shade or fairy shrimp they're called too. The SW is rugged, harsh and if unprepared deady too. That dead calf is sometimes a person. But that subtle beauty is always present and if you grow up in it there's no better, unreal enchantment. I grew up in the deserts of the SW. I first learned to swim in a large circular, metal cow tank. Loved the mossy lichen sliding under my feet and green toes. Loved lounging in it as cows showed up, drank and wondered what kind of aquatic creature I was. 😅

HEY! Hello Brian , Kelly and Hobbs!

Wow! The glories of mother nature.

That was soooo relaxing to watch, Brian! As always, thank you for taking us along! ✌

Love watching the day go by 😊

I hear people talking about "forest bathing" nowadays. You've brought us "desert bathing." Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video, Brian. Another enjoyable one.

That "boulder" was a lot bigger than I thought! I love the desert geology too.

Thanks for sharing Brian. Very relaxing time it appears.

❤😊. You are correct green minerals have copper in them. I love the second rock formation it looked like a baby elephant and a person... what a beautiful area, Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

Hi Brian and Kelly, no doubt in my mind, you guys are enjoying the sights and sounds of heaven, but on a much smaller scale, while you are here on earth. Great meal and great video. Your friend, Louise

Uranium can have green highlights. ☢️😮 Awesome video Brian!! 👌

What a beautiful hike! Thanks for featuring all the lovely bits along the way. Happy Travels!

What a great hike! And a beautiful supper. Thanks for inviting us all along.

What a perfect day and pleasant experience. Made me feel like hitting the road today and heading for the hills.

The box van twins! I like that alternate name!

You’re definitely getting busy livin. Beautiful landscape. Your videos keep us going. The best😊✌🏻

Thanks for the walk about with you!

I really like asparagus marinated in Italian dressing and then grilled

Brian great video thanks for taking us on your walk. Kelly seems really nice and that dinner looked scrumptious!

We're all the way back in CT on the way to Vermont, but really missing the desert. Already looking forward to coming back in fall. ❤

At 11:42 it was beautiful to see the clouds shadows sliding down the slopes. The best things in life are free.....just gotta be there! Take Care and Stay Safe.

Time Well Spent fish 🐠 great chair beautiful day ✌️

What beautiful country to wake up to those views thank you for bringing us along

✌️✌️💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👋👋 adventure continues ✝️

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. Nice video. Cheers 🥂

I just love checking in on you and Miss Kelly❤

Just drove through NM with a stop at the Gila National forest. Never realized how beautiful and peaceful NM is. The spot where you camped looks incredible. Enjoy the peace and nature.

New Mexico is one word if I was to explain majestic.

Thanks for the adventure hike, and really thanks for not going down the mine shafts! Nice to have good food at the end. Another perfect day.

That's a really good idea to put fish in those watering tanks. 🐠🐟

It's getting warm!

Beautiful video again, so enjoyable to watch, relaxing music, great food, that asparagus and kilbasa dish makes me hungry, always tastes better when cooking outdoors! Thank you for posting.

Hi Brian, Kelly and Hobbs, beautiful video!!❤🎉

Nice place to kick back. Very cool you brought a chair & snacks. Time to take it all in 😊 👍😎

Brian, great peaceful video. That plant at 2:00 with the purple flowers and pointed "spikes" is called Red Stem Filare. When I was very young my mom showed me how you can pull two spikes off the plant, then with your finger nail pinch the center of one spike to make a split and then push the other spike thru it to make a minature pair of scissors. Everytime I see a filare plant in the desert I have to stop and make a pair of scissors.

Those peanut chews are a hood classic growing up in the 80s South Bronx

thanks for the scenic hike out in nature! that asparagus looked soooooo good.

…the vibe in this one. ❤

Nice video. Those were neat mines. I wouldn't go in them either. Great cacti, and rock formationd. Those goldfish are pulling double duty. 🙂👍

This was a very inspiring video Brian! Thank you so much.

Awesome desert 🏜 scenery 👌 👍

like you, i find being in nature a great way to practice mindfulness

Cowboys put goldfish in those tanks to keep down the algae.

Watching from Philly. Goldenbergs is a staple around here. Thanks for taking me along

Such gorgeous views! Just sitting watching the clouds' shadows moved across the land....

You've found another awesome campsite Brian :)

Very ASMR like. 😴😴 Thanks for sharing.

Always a pleasure when you bring us along for an adventure. ❤

Pretty cool camp site out in the back country. There must have been someone out there for quite a long time to dig a mine and drill a well and build a tank with Gold fish in it.. You would think that those mines would be better closed off. Take care enjoy your time.

Another awesome video. ❤ Thanks for what you do. ❤

That was quite a hike! Thanks for sharing ✌️

😁👍✌️

Another great vid, thanx.

The good fish and the moss help keep the water clean and healthy.

Beautiful area, thanks!

Nice Brian, really nice

Looks like one fine day!

I have seen gold fish in water tanks on West Texas cattle ranches.

Got up early, watched you talk about walking around the mountain and woke up later missing the entire video haha. Very relaxing stuff as always, keep it up! Thanks! ( rewatched haha)

I have seen most of your videos and had the extreme pleasure of being at two of your meet ups but that chair part of this video just says it all. I feel sorry for the people that don't understand.

AVM...livin large and in charge...luv it and can't wait to be there ✌️ in the west

Hey Brian, cactus wren

✌

Well that was cool! Some of those stone features almost looked like statues of people.

Hello Brian love watching your videos. Hello to Kelly and Hobbs

Absolutely beautiful video. ❤

A Classic Adventure day with Brian in the Southwest. Super kool walk and random things out there. Awesome!!🤙🤙👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🏁🏁🙏🙏Be blessed ya all.

Another beautiful video; I appreciate your content appreciate your content.

Yep... it's copper... got it all around me here in NV. Great video... sure miss being out on the road. Safe travels!!

Great video, thanks Brian. Take care.

Fun exploratory meander. Thanks!

Here for you.😊

so great! thanks for sharing 🙂

Really enjoyed this one! Peace

Would’ve been funny if you would have added a flying saucer behind you when you first sat down 🛸😂

Love new videos!!

What a sweet and peaceful expedition. 👍

Great video today..😊

Cool stuff, looks fun and chill.

Thank you! ☮️❤️☀️

Great editing Brian. Take care

The house next to me is a rental and the guy pays $3250 a month for that roof, he also has a new 100k dually Chevy truck and I'm sure the payment is at least $1500. I can see why you live the way you do Brian. Easy going and enjoying the open road......away from the rat race. Timmy C Arizona

Ty for sharing your adventures. ✌️

Asparagus looks yummy on the grill. We like putting Balsamic vinegar on it & shredded parm cheese. Just use some foil or a pan so the cheese stays put & gets crispy around the asparagus.

Thanks, Bro 😃✌
