The Way We Did It

The Way We Did It

Hello everyone! We’re Shannon and Dave and we live part time in our Lance 825 truck camper with our new rescue pup, Hatch. We document our adventures across the country, and love helping fellow campers out by giving tours of the campgrounds we stay at, showing places worth adding to your bucket list, and giving step-by-step tutorials of projects we do to our truck camper.

If you’re interested in supporting our channel, consider joining our wonderful Patreon community! We enjoy giving back to our patrons by releasing sneak peeks of upcoming episodes, creating digital downloads of travel guides with exclusive tips & destinations we don’t show on KZread, holding Q&A’s to dive deeper into each episode, and more!

Or you can make a one-time donation to our gas fund so we can continue to show you the way we did it.

Thank you so much for watching our videos and all of your amazing support!

    I am so happy for Hatch! And for you! Now he gets to have a fun life. Our last Shepherd was attacked and bitten twice by a big Malamute up in the Backcountry. That Dog was not on a leash. That and some little dogs that he met early on would try to attack him. This all led to him being scared and reactive to most other Dogs as well. He was awesome with kids and all people. These two we have now went to training and were socialized and it really makes a difference. They are more confident walking by barking Dogs. We were also advised that the Dogs don't need to meet other dogs on the street because you don't know what that Dog is like.

    Thank you for sharing. We are so sorry to hear about the attacks. We’re glad your dogs now are doing well. Having a reactive dog is definitely challenging. But Hatch is growing more and more confident with every training session. We are so happy to be by his side to help him through it 💕

    This warms my heart. So happy to see Hatch doing and adjusting so well. Exactly one year ago today we suddenly and unexpectedly lost our best buddy, Ace. Like Hatch is to you, he was our hiking, outdoors, day trip and overall furry best friend. We know he is exploring with his mom, Hussi, over the rainbow bridge and we look forward to all being back together someday. Please give Hatch a big hug today from us. 🐶🐶🐶💕💕💕🌈🌉

    Dogs really are special ❤️ We are so sorry about Ace. We lost our sweet dog Biscuits back in 2020. He was our fur baby for 16 years, and we still miss him. Hopefully he’s made friends with your pups over the rainbow bridge as well. We are squeezing Hatch extra tight today 💕 Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks! Overall our setup has been good. The Renogy batteries work perfectly, but if we were to do it again, we would invest in higher quality solar panels. We don’t think they are producing as much power as they should be. We may save up and upgrade to Renogy’s some day in the future. Good luck with your upgrade and safe travels!

    As you overlooked Emerald Bay and drove around it, there was "Vikingsholm" down below (built 1929 by Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight, with lots of "imported" Scandinavian craftsmen)...you could see a little of its beach in front of the house (at 6:07). It's a California State Park now so it's open to the public. You get to it by private boat or party/tour-boat (hence its beach and docks for boats) or in your vehicle: You park above it in the parking lot (by Hwy 89) and hike down the winding 1-mile trail to the house. Then hike back up to the parking lot. Not too bad though as the "trail" is a wide dirt/access-road (off-limits to visitors' cars/trucks) so nothing extreme. Even so, going down the trail is easier than going UP it (500 ft in elevation). If not in good physical shape, do not attempt it (they warn you!). ;-) You could also see the tiny Fannette Island in the bay that she built a "Tea House" at the top of it (it's in ruins now though). IIRC, the falls were part of her property also. Happy Travels, -- BR
