Thanks for another wonderful video! Your videos are part of my morning ritual (I sometimes what twice). Right now I’m laid up with a heart issue so “getting out” with you is a real treat. Recently I was gift with a Pleasure Way Excel and am looking forward to getting on the road with it to see some of the places you’ve taken us! You might also think about doing a video of your meal preps; they are excellent, economic and healthy! God’s speed my friends! Al and Margaret

Absolutely correct Brian. You can always throw on another layer but when it's a 110 in the shade it's miserable. Tell Miss Kelly that she's a good soul & not to be afraid of the camera.🙏💗

Yup! Too true. Hiya Kelly!!

Brian, thank you for letting us be part of your day. Especially us who are older and quarantined in our homes. You go out and partake of the outdoors for us😇😇🥂🥂🎈🎈🙏🙏🎁🎁🕊🕊🌹🌹❤️❤️🌞🌞👍👍🍀🍀

"Ain't nobody got time for that." Kelly is a dream come true. 😁✌️

God bless you both we are also living through your free floating spirits! Relax , Take care and enjoy. From India.

Thanks for the video Brian. I recently learned that when I'm chopping celery stalks for a soup to also include some of the celery leaves for added flavor. You might try it sometime and see if you like it. Merry Christmas !

Thanks for the translation it old Chinese woman was giving me celery out of her garden. That's most likely what she was telling me to use some of the leaves. Make sense

Also I love the shot of the barn loft with the light and shadows! Great video!

Love the wide-plank walls of the farmhouse. Guess we call them "reclaimed" now. Those were the days!

To quiet the fuel pump clicking, insulate the lines on either side of it for one foot or so. Any sort of foam wrap will help. The sound mostly comes out of the pump output.

So good to see you Brian

I’m always amazed how you find these perfect campsites away from the overcrowded city’s. So many of us viewers appreciate you sharing your lifestyle with us which I think is perfect! What I personally enjoy is after you do some hiking or exploring are the fantastic home cooked meals you prepare in your van... so good! I’m going to copy your chicken soup recipe for dinner tonight! Thanks Brian and safe travels to you and Kelly! ✌️👍

We live in Southern Illinois so we get brutally hot and humid summers and mostly mild winters. Yesterday December 11 2020 it was 67 degrees! We absolutely love fall and winter here. It can get very cold but its rare and usually only lasts a few days. I'll take it over 100 degrees anytime!

I would never, ever live in.-40. The biggest selling point to me, about nomadic life, would be to chase weather. Az/Florida/Coastal Texas in the winter, Oregon/Idaho/Montana in the summer, wandering around in the Spring and Fall. If its 90 outside the van its miserable inside. I'd prefer cool to chilly nights, so a person could SLEEP! I'm static right now, but camped a lot in my younger days. A mummy bag and 25 degrees is better than an air mattress and 80 degrees all day long.

@@roycesjourney37 thats what I do. My ideal night temps for nomad life are 45 to 60. That's like the sweet spot. I was in denver from August to to November and now as its getting winter i made my way down into Florida where the night temps are currently right in that sweet spot

I like the way you start the with a meal and end the day with a meal sometimes Thanks for adding real everyday routines

Wonderful old house at the center of the later additions, almost a log cabin. That barn is for drying tobacco I think, with the gaps between the boards for air circulation.

Love your videos, literally the best vanlife vids on youtube in my opinion 👍

Your story gives inspiration to those who are planning to live in an RV. We would love to share this with our customers who bought vacant land from us and planning to live away from the city. They will surely get awesome ideas from your videos.

Very pretty scenery. Living in SoCal makes you forget how beautiful the winters can. Maybe I need to stop trying to avoid them.

Brian your videos are so informative and relaxing. My favorite channel for years now. Be well and stay happy.

Wow, that hike was just beautiful. Loved the little waterfall you walked under. It's so nice to see how much fun you and Kelly are having.

Nice shots from the under hang of water dripping, the icicles on moss, the waterfall and the light and shadow play in the structure.

Thank you for the video. Glad you have a friend like Kelly. Take care .

The scenery on that hike was gorgeous, including the farm.

“Ain’t nobody got time for that!” 🤣👍🏼

Another great video! Love the fire at the end! Something about a fire that just relaxes the soul

That was an isolated farm location. Very beautiful hike. Would like to see it in the summer too.

I wished there were more men out in world like you Brian and be able to cook like you... I need one to travel and see the Country with and sightsee that I love to do and take it all in. I love exploring old places since I'm a huge History buff. Enjoy your day!! I will try on this cool Morning in Wisconsin... PEACE

Watching your videos are soothing to my soul. Enjoy your journey, stay safe, keeping you in my daily prayers for health and safe travels.

😀wow the soup looked yummy. Take care and travel safe.👍

Awesome. Interesting to see if Tennessee is just as beautiful as Kentucky.

I love the guitar 🎸 music 🎶 you chose. Beautiful vlog. Hi Kelly 💓 Thank you for sharing your journey.

Always short and sweet! Thanks...safe travels!

Wow! Love that stone foundation and barn! Hope your journey continues to be safe and filled with adventure! 😉👍🇨🇦🌲💜

You and Kelly make a great couple be safe on travels

Beautiful snowy trail adventure with Kelly! Chicken soup with canned chicken- why hadn’t I thot if that! Yum.

Such a beautiful hike. Love the Icicles ! So glad you have a steamer, you can make the greatest stew ! Good deal !

I love getting up and seeing a new, Adventure Van Man, video waiting to be watched, always wait till later when I'm winding down but look forward to them all day long, stay safe Brian!

Another mellow video to start my weekend. Thanks, Brian

Wonderful video. Love how you finish up the days with a little cooking, and a delicious hot meal!

Beautiful scenery, little papoose. Good to see you're doing well.

We had a similar diesel heater in my army armored personnel carrier. When they worked they were gold!!! The hand hewn logs at the farm were amazing!!! Looking good Brian! Love to see you happy!!

Holiday greetings to you both! That looked like a nice little trail, that barn review was cool too! You know, exploring old buildings, I've often wondered just looking around in those old rooms, if only those old walls could talk, of all the events, that had taken place from years past!! Could you just only imagine what they would tell ya ?? Stay safe and healthy. Toledo 40° dry.

I love the looks of snow too. Recreate only not living and working in it

That farm looked like sun-up to sun-down for a lot of years. I don't imagine hand-hewing all those timbers or setting those flag stone foundations was any easy task. Thanks for bringing us along Brian, it was interesting.

Delicious meal!

I am surprised that Farmhouse was open. Very cool! And dinner looked great!

Scenic homestead!

Very nice blog. I enjoy all your adventures thanks so much.

That 10:28 flew by so fast! I'm one of those who enjoys both the hot AND cold. As long as I have A/C and a heater, LOL! Enjoy the adventure Brian and Kelly! I think I'm going to make that soup for dinner tomorrow, I have all of the ingredients, yum!

You find some of the coolest places! Thanks for sharing!

Great video. I suspended the pump on my heater with heavy duty zip ties. Much quieter if it's not hard mounted. Be safe and blessed!

Love following you. So laid back and very informative. I just got a little Ford Transit Connect that I'm at making into a very simple "camper". I already got some great ideas, what to do and some great places to camp. Thanks.

Kentucky is amazing. Looks like something out of Tolkein. Thanks for some peaceful nonpandemic moments.

Tip from a retired cook, have a carton of chicken or beef bone broth in your pantry. It is good for you and the flavor is bold and real. It will add a whole new dimension to a quick soup. Reseal and refrigerate what you don't need. I think you're an east coaster at heart. Love your decision stay east of the Mississippi this year.

Down here in Australia don't know too much about the cold. Worst thing about the heat is when it don't cool off at night - then it can be a real mongrel!

Wow I'm making chicken soup right now!! But just in a regular pan on the stove .. In my kitchen.. It's cold here and I want the warmth and the great aroma!!! . I'll think of you two when I eat!!!

Enjoyed your awesome video ! Your dinner.made me hungry. Safe travels to you and Kelly!

So cool to hear you say, "Hello Tennessee!" I love, love Big South Fork! One of our best parks.

Good one Brian really enjoyed the old homestead you an d Kelly have a great Christmas. Be safe God Bless.

Nice job. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Lovely scenery on your walk!

The Litton farm was a family subsistence farm. Had small farm animals, pigs, hens, and farmed the land mainly. Another couple lived there until it was taken over in the 40's and became the National Park it is today.

Looking good guys. Happy to see you are both doing well. Have a great Christmas and GOD BLESS!🙏🏻

My dogs just graduated from canned chicken to boiled hole chicken.meanwhile I'm making chicken salad out of the can!another epic vlog finished off w/a hot bowl of homemade goodness.good job as usual my friend.

As always thank you!

Looked like the perfect size pressure cooker and no need for electricity either! Had been contemplating an instant pot, but takes too much energy. Yours looks perfect!!

For me personally the perfect night Temps for van life is that 45 to 60 degree range. That's when i can sleep with no fan or anything I will say sleeping in the cold is much better than the heat. What I do is move around and follow the temps alot of times. I was in denver until it started getting into the teens and now I'm in central Florida where its been in the high 40s or 50s every night. 👌 Its crazy because right before Thanksgiving I was in a foot of snow on a mountain in the rockies and now I'm in the sun in Florida getting bit by mosquitos lol

Love your videos always looking forward to another. Makes me want to hit the road.

That food looked delish, Im going to look into these pressure cookers

Gorgeous trail!! Thanks for sharing, safe travels :)

Your usual informative video. Thanks for posting.

I also would rather be in the cold than the heat. You can bundle up to stay warm but you can't take all your clothes off to keep cool, in public. Well you can but you'll get arrested. Another Awesome video! Thank you!

Nice video... Like the cooking segments. Safe travels you guys.

That was wonderful!

Pressure cooker way to go! Welcome to Tennessee

I love my old stove top pressure cooker!

Putting your flute at the end now.... good move. It’s are call to a peaceful adventure.

That is a beautiful hike.

Thanks for showing us your diesel heater!

Hey Brian . Bryan here. Haven't commented in some time. Im in Arizona myself. I used to enjoy winter camping in the cold in Arkansas. HARSH COLD THERE. But im older and disabled have had 5 back surgeries and a knee surgery. And when it gets cold now i pay for it. I have gotten arthritis since surgeries. So now days i head for Arizona to stay warm. You should really check out Arkansas nation forrest. Being your that close. If you get down that way check out Ozark Nat Forrest and down from there you have Quachita Nat Forrest. Both have beautiful forrest mountains and a butt load of free dispersed camping. It really is an over look area for some great camping. ✌

Thanks. that is such a beautiful area. I love that trail back to that Old Farm Place and those beautiful old hand-hewn logs and dovetail notching. The place you're camped is such a beautiful area. One hike you need to try is to head over towards Pickett State Park which is just a short drive and do the trail over to Maude's crack. Don't ask me how it got its name. I don't even know if I want to know. You guys be safe and stay healthy. Love your work on your videos.

Glad you made it to BSF and hope you visit the Twin Arches in a future video. The Litton (pronounced Lit-ton) has been renovated. There used to be original newspapers from the 1930's lining the interior walls. Enjoy!

Yum the chicken soup looks awesome! I enjoyed homestead hike CONGRATS on deisel heater . I wan t spoon you made Its very nice to be able to carve and eat with too 😁 be safe Hi Kelly Awe what a cook to travel with

Awesome share Brian! Thanks! The trail with snow and laurels gave me a flash back! 6 minutes! Dang! Never really used one before. Seen one in action as a kid and mom blew the lid off! 🤣 Guess a person needs to look into one of those pressure cookers!
