Hi Ethan, Hope all is well and I'm glad you made it safely over that 2 ton limit bridge. Your long wheel base 4X4 F250 is about 7300 lbs and your Lance slide in camper is about 2500 lbs, so you're at 9800 lbs total, not including fuel, water and the rest of your load out. So - about 4.9 tons. Be careful out there friend. Steve

Obv. Ethan is smart enough to offer a shirtless twink moment every video to satisfy some of his viewers, but these thirsty comments creep me out.

For those of you that do not know, Eureka Springs is a former spa town with several cold water mineral springs. You should not drink the water. It is a small town with Christians, motocycle riders, aging hypies, and GLBTQ community get along. There are about 2-3 large historic grand hotels. THere are some awesome, unique, locally owned restaurants. IT is more than just nick-nacks.

Great job buddy. Just for future reference your truck is well over two tons with your camper.

Ethan - you definitely need to know the weight of your truck with the camper.

@ajriding

2 ай бұрын

1 ton is 2,000 pounds, so 2 tons is 4,000 pounds. Ethan truck alone is about 7,500 pounds and the camper add another 3,000 at least. 10,000-12,000 pounds total or 5-6 tons. That bridge rated at two tons can probably take 4 tons, but might incur damage over repeated abuse. The bridge so short that probably one axle at a time was on it, so that would be half, so that helps.

Stop in a truck stop. You can use their scale for a few bucks and know exactly.

I am glad Peaches has a doggy friend to hang out with. Be careful on those two ton bridges because the Toyota weighs at least that much. Your cab over is closer to three tons. Thanks for having us along. The shower scenes were fun and clean. Pun intended.

It's great to have a good seat on a view of the world!

My dog loves your voice. Every time I play your video he wakes up and comes into my office area.

Thanks for the tour.

Always makes me smile when I see one of your videos posted.

It is a neat town to explore! Lots of interesting shops. The parking is bad and the side walks need work, too. I don’t live too far from there. I hope you had a good time!

I swear I look forward to your videos a little too much!!

2:11 -- I love it when you do walking tours! 🚶

I like this style of video, a journey through multiple days.

Ethan, I always enjoy watching your travels and getting to share some of your life with you. You are real you are authentic and you are very welcoming. Plus you are super, super cute inside and out. Every time I visit here, it’s like visiting a friend, just hanging out, sharing everyday life and adventures. I traveled for several years in my Toyota 4Runner which allowed me to reach places most people wouldn’t be able to access. Therefore me and my boyfriend would find amazing lakes and rivers where we might stay for a week or so and never see another person. We loved to be able to skinny dip, well, basically clothes were only on the menu for functional purposes like sun protection, cool or cold weather and just being cozy at night time. After a few years of traveling and camping this way, we decided to buy a motor home. Of coarse, we pulled the 4Runner and if we got somewhere where we wished to go deeper into nature, then the motor home could take us, we would find a safe place to leave the RV, Load up the 4Runner with all our camping gear and cross the river or traverse 4x4 only passage till we found that special place where we would stay until we had our fill and were ready to visit other areas of the country. We pretty much lived this way for 10+ years until we decided to buy a home. We found a bit of paradise in Mendocino California, just thirty minutes from the Giant Redwoods, I am sure that is where Bambi lives. We bought an eighty acre gentleman’s type ranch with an eight acre private lake that was spring fed and 50 feet deep. We had a nice house overlooking the lake and the coastal mountain range. It was like we found the best of three worlds; RV trips when in the mood, camping our way whenever we felt that need, and being home in our own little Paradise which was like a combination of all three. All of what I just shared with you is so much why I come to visit you, it’s like being there, albeit brief, with a really nice and fun friend. Relish this time and have a happy life always. One last thing, have you any experience at acting, can you sing and most importantly, have you any desire to do this. You are a natural you know. Thanks for letting me share a bit of myself and some of my experiences with you. I do wish that this platform was more conversational and allowed for personal communication one on one. I would like to explore my above questions with you in a more serious way where we could actually have a private conversation. Perhaps Telegram? It is free to call, video chat, or just have a live text chat. I don’t mean to be intrusive in any way, just a suggestion. Thank You for sharing, Dana

I have been there many times used to drag my trailer down there. And over to Beaver Lake so much fun.

Love the rock door handle! How creative.

Any vid with you is a good one. Stay safe Ethan and Peaches.

Regarding the broken door latch, consider drilling a hole in the exposed latch (where u attached the rock) then use a keyfob or a keyfob loop, Either way, it's a more stable and permanent fix.

Found Eureka Springs, Jerusalem, some cool CCC camps, River Hollow, falling leaf springs, War Eagle Mill,..wow..! Have a grandma never knew till years later that probably waved at us! Quite friendly. Put 2200 miles on rental car with old paper map, that had different road #, as they changed them since 911.A week on dirt roads seeing the real arkansas. Great place to get on back roads.

Another excellent adventure and our videography is, as always, on point.

You sure go through some trials and thank goodness you have Austin there. It's so good to have another video from you. Take care and lucky you have Peaches for company too. Scammers are scum as you are so honest and have integrity. 🤗xx

Ethan for great fixes try super glue and sprinkle with baking soda becomes rock hard right now And will last much longer than hot glue. Great hugs

Enjoying your vids. Not sure how it came across my feeds but I'm glad it did. Stay safe and keep creating these.

The little door hanger advertising camping places was their kind way of recommending you find another place to park.... Businesses don't profit if they alienate their business base... Most Walmart stores allow short term camping... I never recommend using a parking lot... they are noisy and there is always the chance of someone accidentally hitting you... Peaches is such a sweet doggo.... She is living her best life, Dogs love going places and doing things, They have abilities that We don't ... Smell, sight, hearing, taste.... She no doubt is having a great time....

But I would think occasionally in a place like Walmart you have that advantage of going to the bathroom anytime you want for it also getting a snack and food without having to store it. There is usually some prepared food there like a Subway.

Hi Ethan! Glad to see you and Austin doing well. Little towns are quaint. And for the most part the people there are quite friendly. I enjoy your videos and stories of your travels. From a follower in VA midway between the Bay and the mountains. Safe travels.

Love watching Ethan walk down that sidewalk @about15:03. He has a nice walk, kinda manly. Love his blue eyes. There is kindness and intelligence behind them.

WOW, you were literally 10 minutes from my house when you were at Buc-ees! Wish I would have known you were in the area. I would loved to have met and filled you and Austin in on some cool local places you would have liked. I stop there at Buc-ees a lot for their brisket sandwiches. So YUMMY! 😋 And be careful when driving over bridges with weight limits. Your truck with the camper, liquids and all your gear will be OVER 5 TONS. Always love your content Ethan. Hopefully Scrappy-Doo and I will get to meet all of you at some point when we get on the road. Sold my camper van conversion i was working on and bought a 4x4 7.3L Power Stroke Ambulance last weekend and working on converting it now. Hoping to be out of here by the first of June and living it up like you all are and posting content too. Take care and safe travels...❤

Keep your eyes open for an old aluminum screen doorwhile driving around. Switch out the latch..😊

I enjoyed the entire video! What I appreciated the most, was you looking for an employee to inform them the water in the shower would not shut off. Good man!

“Peaches! It’s literally me.” - I don’t know why that made me laugh. You two have such a great vibe. ✌️

Yep! - Buc-ees can be overwhelming, like Walmart can be.

We get to see more of your travels. Eureka Springs looks so quaint I love seeing the little shops. Bucky's looks fun. Way to crowed for me. I am glad you did not get towed. I don't think you broke the shower. I think it was already broken and you where the unlucky one the broke it the rest of the way. Your all good Ethan. Peaches is getting so big. That is a fun way to fix a door. I like this kind of video also. I hope that you Peaches and your friend are doing good this afternoon.

My first boyfriend grew up in a small desert town in California. When we visited his family, we hosed ourselves down til soaked before going for a walk. We were only out for 20-30 minutes and completely bone dry by the time we reentered the house. Hosing down is what people there do. Sane people only use swamp coolers, resorting to AC only as augmentation and distinct lack of poverty.

I Love BUC-EES!!! When in Texas, it’s the fun place to gas up, eat, and random shop. It’s always an adventure! 😃🙌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

I like the respect and consideration you have for parking. There is a phrase I have grown up with which is not to "Kick the arse out of..." It means when you have an opportunity and take it don't exploit it to the point of causing offence. I like you are considerate of the boundaries of others and their town

Love this format and really liked seeing the town and where you were instead of just the camping experience.

You gotta get a koalache, brisket, and beaver nuggets when at Bucky's!

THAT, was fun! Thanks for sharing, Ethan!

Ethan, EthanTravels, If you put your truck in tow mode when in places with a lot of hills, curves, and in the mountains it will bring your engine into a higher engine braking mode which utilizes the compression of your engine as a brake. It has variable vane turbos and it will help slow you down and save your brake pads. Do on my '08 f250 4x4 6.4l diesel all the time. Would have been especially helpful in Eurika Springs. Love that town. I live just out east of Oklahoma City in McCloud. I'm just off I-40 about 1/2 mile north, 1.5 miles east and 3/8 back south.
