Van Life in Kentucky - Daniel Boone National Forest - 11/2020
One last hike in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Leaving our camp and heading towards McKee, Kentucky to find a camp in the Turkey Foot Recreation Area, a part of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. Kelly and I find a nice free camp and cook up our Thanksgiving feast. Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Thankful to have you all along for the ride!
*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!

Love that you don’t feel the need to ‘narrate’ every second of your videos. Sometimes nature can speak for herself just fine.
Glad Kelly & you could spend Thanksgiven together.
People sometimes forget how beautiful west Virginia Ohio Kentucky are so glad you saw some.
Glad to see you had a friend to enjoy a great Thanksgiving dinner. The arches and sand stone scrolls were fascinating.
Dang Brian between the 2 of you. You should write a ccoking book for nomads. I love your channel but damn it makes me hungry every single time.
Mega-awesome my friend. I love those areas in Ol' Kentuck. I always think of the history in those wild places and the boots and moccasins who roamed those sacred grounds.
old joke. daniel boone was asked if he ever got lost?? he thought a minute and said nope ...but I was a might bewildered for 3days!! l.o.l. happy trails to you both!!
Greetings, Yes,its nice in that area your at..not far from you..i am just south in tenn....You two are so beautiful in the spirit of love..may you both prosper in all your journey..Peace within💜🤴
👋🏿 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁 Thanks for sharing ✌🏿
It's always such a pleasure to see the places you go, and your gentle quiet ways. Greetings from hot Australia.
Not many women i know would be down for a life on the road. Glad to see you have someone to travel with. Nature is better with someone to appreciate it with.
Some beautiful areas there, never would have seen those from the interstate highways. Fun to see you two back traveling together ❤

Hey Brian! Good to see you. So Kelly had to go full girl power and light up your fire in the most amusing way. 🤣
Never seen mother nature work her magic on sandstone, with such brilliant results...Looked like a serious nice hike, those trails that run along those mountain cliffs tend to recharge my batteries too...You guys are just beaming with happiness.....Young, free, and in love....Good to see....
Another Beautiful place & dream come true! Thanks for sharing.. ✌️
The sandstone with the circles and swirls was pretty intense! Love the journey!
Thank you!
So nice to see Kelly! IMO it's much easier for guys to have a van life and I enjoy watching the journey... but being able to see a lady successfully living her van life is extra inspiring to me :)
So many people's ideas of travel is from big location to big location and don't really recognize the journey itself can be the travel. And Brian, you also confirm how so many areas (not heavily promoted) can have exceptional beauty itself. Nice.
I am so happy when folks come to visit my "back yard". I am ky native and I am very proud of our national forests and parks. Look up ' Bee Rock Campground ' on the d boone natnal forest webbysite. A hidden treasure only natives really know.
Stunning area. The East can have oppressive humidity in the summer and a lot of rain but when the leaves are down the woods are so visible that there is no denying the beauty of our Mountains. Great time of year to be there. Have fun.
First time seeing vids on your channel..thank you for the beautiful scenery of Kentucky!

Love backwoods exploring too! What a peaceful way to go. It bums me out to see so much trash though. I can't understand why some folks just don't wanna pick up after themselves. Safe travels guys!
Goes to show there is awesome landscape all over this country and it’s great to have a host like you, Brian. Be safe, surrender to the flow, and Peace.
Great video, that first place with the arch is on my bucket list. The food at the end is on my everyday list. Thanks Brian & Kelly it’s certainly nice to spend thanksgiving with that special person.✌️🦃
Yeah Kelly! You have a beautiful smile and a beautiful spirit. Thanks for being such good company for Brian! Safe journeys! ✌
Them's my stompin grounds! Daniel Boone National Forest...Best ever. Ale8! Yup Kentuck.
NY Strip is the new Turkey for Thanksgiving, great looking feast 🙏

You and Kelly seem so perfect for one another...dont let that slip away. ...My parents grew up in KY, I spent most of every summer growing up there, at my Mamaws. Those mountains and " hollers" bring back so many good memories for me. Thanks for sharing.
that campsite toward the end of the video.... that is what van/bus/RV life is all about
Yay! Kelley! Wow i have never seen sandstone like that. Indian creek does look great. Gotta love off season travel! 😉👍🌲🇨🇦🌙🎶🌟🌞
Wow. Very cool beautiful.. yummy.. everything always tastes better on a campfire
You two are such lovely Americans.
Wow, my wife n I love riding along, u have the most incredible videos!
Well we all know what you are truly thankful for. Each other. Im thankful that i get to ride along. Steak is always a good choice. way to go on the fire. Having each others back is the true foundation of building a strong loving relationship. You make it look easy.
This is one of the features that makes your videos for me, showing all the old towns as you drive through. The creeks and sounds of your vehicle should be included in your sleeping sounds with a river sound it'll make me sleep double quick time. Crackling of a fire is also a nice sound to include.
Loved the video at the beginning where you showed the sandstone, the red leaves and the puffy smoky thing. Love nature!
Your videos are calming in a pretty tense world.glad you had a nice person to camp w/ for the holidays.living the dream you are.happy holidays to you two.
Love the smiles on your faces as you sat down for your Thanksgiving meal. Peace be with you both.
You're welcome buddy. Hey, thank you for the videos. It helps pass the time. Peace. Happy Thanksgiving! ✌
I'm from Morehead kentucky, I used to camp all around the state,alot of nice places.
What a great camp spots! Glad you and Kelly gad a nice little place to enjoy Thanksgiving. Not sure how open it is but Berea, KY is a great little town with some amazing artists and craftsman
Hey Brian and Kelly, Cindy and I want to wish you a very happy thanksgiving. We still find great pleasure in your vids and vicariously achieve a great sense of wonderment. Brian, you are truly blessed to have such a sweet gal in your life. She is one of those fine people, you can just tell by the smile. Both of you enjoy life to the fullest, regret is the one thing in life that cannot be gotten rid off. Ron and Cindy in Virginia
Wow, can’t think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving!
Enjoyed it Brian and Kelly! Thanksgiving dinner looked super! Be safe and have fun and thanks for taking us along.......Oh and those camera shots looking over a cliffs edge are not so nice.....:)
That young lady has a great smile 😃
Awesome video of the arches. Glad to see you and Kelly exploring the camping and hiking options we have in the east. Looking forward to seeing more of Kentucky. Let us know if you see any elk or wild horses.
I think this thanksgiving was the best day of 2020! So much to be thankful for.
No fate channel checking in and the adventure continues ♥️♥️♥️
Thankful for all,the great videos!
Sometimes its the most simplest pleasures in life that make us feel grateful. Thanks for sharing those amazing spots in Kentucky. We are heading to North Padre National Seashore in Texas during December, hoping to take advantage of the off season emptiness, with waves and sand in the background. Peace and safe journeys to you and Kelly.
Good to see you enjoying each other. Thanks for the Zen time!
New subscriber !!!! Glad I found your channel. Really enjoying these videos. We love the outdoors as well. Glad you all get out into the wilderness and the hikes are amazing !!!
Wow! Another awesome adventure. Thank you so much Brian.
Gray's Arch has been my favorite hike for a long time. Just driving in from Lexington, hiking, then driving home. Out and back isn't a hard drive in a day but it's a fabulous hike! So nice to see you enjoying our little piece of the woods.
Kelly is greatness , happy and safe travels
You find such beautiful places, America the Beautiful
Thank you Brian and Kelly, I appreciate you sharing your adventures with us! Happy Thanksgiving!
Cup of coffee, a new Van Man video to watch. Great way to start my day! Thank you sir
Sweet to see you both having a great time together...thanksgiving indeed!
Thank you for videoing the travel portion thru the rural areas and towns as well. Stay great AdventureVanMan.
Always look forward to your videos. Nice to see Kelly. Heading in for a snack... seeing you cooking makes me hungry ;)
Wonderful. Loved it. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Nice! Good food, great company, nice views, all make for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful dinner. Great camping spot. Kelly's secret stuffing looked wonderful and the steak was amazing. Cheers.
Thank you for another enjoyable, relaxing video
Lovely dinner!! With your lovely lady! Happy motoring!! Stay safe God bless.
The countryside is so pretty.
I am hooked on your adventures! Thank you for sharing! Ever since I was a child and my cousin took me exploring, I too, have loved the dirt road.
Glad Kelly joined you for Thanksgiving. She is a doll
What a great idea Kelly had for the fire! I wouldn't have thought of adding just air although that's what they did in the 1880s with a bellow.
That was some of the most beautiful scenery that I’ve seen before on your channel! Thank you 😊
Kelly is a nice bonus to your already great videos. Enjoy the holidays you too... Cheers
Excellent excellent excellent video! Thank you!!!
Beautiful video of a beautiful place.
Happy thanksgiving
absolutely wonderful ,thanks for sharing,you 2 compliment one another so well
Lovely and serene video! Wishing you and Kelly the best!💞
Another enjoyable authentically awesome video. Thank you and stay safe...
So excited for you and Kelly to be able to spend Thanksgiving together. Great looking meal also. Loved the hike that you went on and you have the magic to find some awesome places to camp at. Thank you so much as needed to see this. Take care.
What a feast and such beauty around you.
Wonderful! Thank you.
Peace and Thanks. You had a great holiday.
Off season is my favorite season.
Thank you for taking us along, your dinner looked yummy. Hope you guys have a good time staying there all by yourselves. Pretty area.
Good video, Kentucky looks beautiful. I appreciate the tour.
wow small world I spent most of my teenage years living in the Daniel Boone National Forest to get to our house you would have taken the Cold Hill KY. entry back then we had no indoor plumbing or electricity (or solar) in the mid 80's safe travels.
Thanks for having a true Kentucky Thanksgiving with your Ale 8 One!
Awesome ..... Loved it.
WOW!! Kentucky has some beautiful countryside!! Thank you for sharing this, I am familiar with puffballs, but have never seen one growing on a tree! The sandstone is incredible, i have never seen anything like it. (hmmm I guess i don't get out much!! I hope that will change in a couple years.) Glad you had a lovely thanksgiving together, such a beautiful place to be content and with loved ones. Lol Kelly is a crackup, great sense of humor! Thank you again, your videos are just relaxing and calming, food for my soul.
Happy, healthy, and blessed!
Them early morning uploads for us insomniacs!!

Your Thanksgiving dinner looked awesome. I really like ALE 8. I've been watching your videos for a long time and always enjoy them. This video is my favorite. I have camped in Kentucky with my husband. It's beautiful there. You and Kelly are good together. Take care and safe travels.
Wish there was a repeat button for looping, have this nature, outside video playing on silent on the side while I’m stuck inside working. Trying to make it 🤙🏾✌🏾👍🏾👀
