Kentucky Camp Life - Living in a Van 11/2020
Found a nice creek side camp in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. This area in the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky has been a great place to explore. Spending a nice relaxing day at camp is a great way to recharge for upcoming adventures.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

Hi Brian and Kelly, thanks for sharing this beautiful place. It's so amazing how nature has so many wonderful treasures. One just has to take the time and fully open their eyes. Good job on the handmade spreader. Keep smiling and stay safe !

Great video, love Kentucky. Follow your Dreams
Your videos bring me much needed calmness. Thank you for that. Godspeed and best luck.
The 35 people who have disliked this video need a hug..I can't imagine having that much negativity in me that I could go out of my way to dislike this lol.... Love your videos dude. Love watching your journey. Just finished my Florida to Maine trip. Beautiful time of year to be on the road.
Thanks for sharing! I especially enjoyed the slow mo of you carving that spreader!
What a great (and sunny) place. Thanks for sharing your solitude.
Such a great spot... Peaceful. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful!!
Otters! Really? Amazing!!
You’ve got very nice camping site sitting by the river nice and peaceful. You enjoy your journey but most of all be safe.☕️☕️👍🍀
What a beautiful spot for a camp. Stay safe and healthy.
It's like a whole different world. I miss those days like that when I was a kid. Creekside with my knife, pellet gun or .22lr, not a care in the world.
Did not any one else see the HUGE, BLACK CAT(panther ) run down the hill to the left just as the van got to the grass? About 1:53. Awsome
Amazing, thanks for sharing, very calm
Love it. Seeing the sites around the US and making some money here and there. Keep on Rollin 👍
I was born in KY. Your vids remind me of it's beauty. Thank you!
I am so happy you made it to the Gorge. I just bought a house next to the Gorge. I am a nurse and I am on a plan to pay off my house in 5 years and get a RV. I then plan on being a travel nurse. I hope I get to meet you one day Brian. You have been an inspiration to me.
Love you video's Brian keep up the good work. (;
great scenery, just new to your Adventure, you have a sweet setup stay safe
Excellent report ..mr brians ..lurvv kentucky..
Love drone shots & that final way was WAAAAAY HIGH!
That had some ASMR footage in there! Love it!
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
What a heart warning video. Thanks 🥄 I know you can wittle some fine spoons. It brought back lots of memories of my Grand Fathers down by the lake fishing and doing whatever we wanted. I used to build ( “forts” ) llil huts.
That spreader was pretty cool.
Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving, Brian!
So peaceful. 🌻🌳🌲
♥ALWAYS BE BLESSED♥
An other great view through the windshield. I'm thinking it would be a tight fit taking a class c back in that dirt road and making that left turn into where you camped along that creek? It looked wet also. Just a perfect place to take a relaxing nap or two next to that clear water creek!! That tea looked soothing as well. Only for one?? And a wonderful place to spend time with Kelly! Shout out for Kelly!!! You both stay safe, and healthy, enjoy.
that spreader is awesome!! you should open an etsy shop and advertise to other van dwellers what you make. That is so incredible. We are RVers but I would still be a customer.

Beautiful music at the end
Glad to see that other band close-by yours you got to keep her clothes you keep you out of trouble and if you get in trouble she'll set you straight good cook keep that young lady with you
Much love and light to you both
Love this area. I am not sure about Kentucky but Ohio's deer gun season starts soon. Youth hunt is this weekend then gun season starts Nov. 30th. It'll be super busy then. Enjoy seeing the areas I grew up in. Thanks for the videos!
Looks peaceful. Man you are so close to me I'm in Chattanooga Tennessee wished we could meet up. I've watched your videos since you started... You have gone further than me not in miles but in peaceful spiritual travels. I still have to work within the confines of society. Thanks 😊
looked like a very peaceful spot.
Happy Thanksgivings Brian and Kelly
Thanks for the video you are living well!
I went and checked out your campsite today and the ground is pretty soggy with a good amount of standing water. I think you got out just in time. And you both left a clean camp! :)
Beautiful place Brian.
Beautiful campsite by the creek. So glad to see Kelly there with you to share. You two stay safe and enjoy. Peace.
Glad you were able to connect with your friend. I am sure times can get lonely sometimes.
Mesmerized by the site's beauty. Good company. Peaceful . How much better can it get?
Tried to see what flavor tea, that you had..I think it was Vanilla Chai? My favorite is Bigelows Wild Blueberry and their Toasted coconut and Almond Bark...so good! Beautiful camp site, thanks for sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Perfect!
Brian, you're making me want to get my '20 Promaster finished and hit the road. Thats some beautiful country, I want to go experience it, its just a little ways from western Montana 😉
There is a lot of technical rock climbing available in the Red River Gorge. When I was stationed at Ft Knox, KY, I used to take weekend trips to the Red River Gorge to go climbing. I loved it there!

Thumbs up !
Nice
What a lovely place to camp for a few days. Got to get down that way in the next couple of years. Maybe hold off to 2022 before major travel outside of Canada.
thanks for the video A.V.M.
And Peace be with you, Brian~
What a peaceful spot along the river even with otters. I like seeing hands at work. a good and simple life
Love that you’re able to experience my happy place. Are you sure on the otters??? At RRG? Wondering if maybe muskrats? Either way it’s all good. Enjoy, LNT, namaste.
Gorgeous place! If you happen to travel through Lebanon TN on your way south, try the amazing food at the VooDoo Smokehouse Caribbean BBQ! There’s some nice places to boondock outside of town!
These videos add a little peace to my day...thank you
You looked completly at peace there.Thanks for sharing with us
Enjoyed the video this morning! So glad we got to meet you and Kelly today. Hope you come back and visit again soon! Safe and blessed travels!

Thanks for show casing our beautiful state! Since the quarantine my wife and I have spent our Saturdays exploring Kentucky and found the Red River Gorge as one of our absolute favorites! Now I’m laid up with a heart issue but when this is resolved we’re going to go back up there. If you have time; try Cumberland Falls, East of Corbin off of 1-75. We had our 1st date in KY there over 50 years ago. God speed!

Hey brother I'm in Pikeville KY about 2 hours from red river gorge. Wanna know a tip. Eat at Miguel's pizza it's around you and a delicious hole in the wall pizza place. Also.. for a great day hike check out natural bridge. It's close to you and a natural bridge rock formation goes high in the sky you can hike to the top and walk on the rock bridge. Amazing views
Longer videos would really be cool Brian. You do such good work it’s fun to watch.
That seemed like a peaceful spot. Otters are so cute!! Glad you guys are getting to enjoy some time together! 😁🙏🏼💜
Thanks you, Brian for another enjoyable, relaxing video. Such a peaceful location.
