A RISK I Need To Take. Cozy Winter Truck Camper Living Next to a River

[@captin204]

You are now 1 of 2 favorites in this kind of content. It's you and Kenny of all trades

[@AlbertaMike]

Ditto. I look forward to both.

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

Good Videos for sure

[@gigiwalentiny5060]

I will be 65 this year and contemplating retiring (RN). If I have any “wisdom” to share it is this: LIVE your life!! I think you’re well on your way, BRAVO!!!

[@MrRaoul1958]

I’m in!

[@ericisave]

Now you will have the 'time'. A lady at work years ago once said to me, ' you either have the time but no money, or you have money but no time ' , this was said during a conversation about going on a holiday.

[@p.robertbranconi4127]

Gigi, I'm turning 70 this year... I'm going all in with 2025 Ford F-550 4x4 Diesel CrewCab and a 2025 Arctic Fox 1140 dry bath truck camper, with 800W Solar and 800 of Batteries. (I'll be paying cash for both.) But, my main income is Social Security... So, we will see how it goes.(I'll be mainly doing Dispersed Camping.) When I was 18, I went full-time in an Old Truck and Camper for 15 years. The new Trucks and Campers are much better built and insulated; not to mention the amenities... Gigi, Anyone should be able to do this lifestyle with enjoyment and success... You won't believe the Enjoyment it will bring you...

[@ericisave]

@gigiwalentiny5060 It gets complicated when you 'live your life' and hook-up, marry, etc with someone else.

[@SpykersB]

@@p.robertbranconi4127 i must say i'm a bit jealous lol, i fell in love with the AF 1140 when I decided to get a truck camper, i already had the truck from a fifth wheel setup. That 1140 i figured was the one 😍, then I saw it 😲 on the same truck i have, dually 3500 n was sick to my stomach with disappointment because holy cow no way, the truck looked like it was screaming in agony 😂. I then stumbled upon a NL 10-2, it's perfect for my trucks capabilities. So congrats on doing your homework, n creating a great solar setup too! 🍻

[@Julie-u9l]

Kevin you have one of the best, honest, wholesome channels and it is an inspiration to see your videos and keeping things real. You have so much support. Thanks for being here. We look forward to your videos.

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you so much, means a lot to me!

[@ChristianK-z5g]

Kevin, you took the risk that so many of us, including me, dream of. You seem really happy! Keep going as long as you can. Things will work out! I'm 59 and missed out on a lot. No regrets, but I do think about the what ifs that could have happened, had I taken the risks. Now, I'll never know. You won't have any regrets for taking the risks! Rock on, dude! You sure did find a beautiful location to stay, and your drone shots are amazing! Peace out, Christian K.

[@bettyjanssen589]

You weren't ready in your twenties, now you are, that's what counts. Never regret what you can't change, the fact that you are doing what you want at this stage of your life is so pertinent. You will do what you need to do to keep your lifestyle even if it means going back to working, remember that it would only be temporary till you get back to where you are now. No regrets, Kevin!!

[@azdesertrat9104]

Your YT following is slowly growing, so you really should consider adding a Patreon page so people can support you so that you can have no worries about continuing to live the 'nomad' lifestyle and enjoying all the travels. Our support is getting to live vicariously through you and your travels 😊There are so many, many folks who are no longer able to travel the way you do (like me) and miss seeing the sights, like that beautiful campsite right by the river surrounded by snow covered mountains! 🤩

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you!! I’m glad to show you all and take you all with me! I do have KZbin memberships, it’s the join button at the bottom of the video

[@carlybunnell5017]

My imagination runs wild when im alone in the woods too. I start thinking about bigfoot,dogmen and ill tempered bears.😂

[@neilgonzalez305]

Go for it Kevin! You fans are not going anywhere. We support you. Love your videos and your wholesome laugh make me laugh. In these times, we need more wholesome videos like these.

[@wanda5-w4m]

Gorgeous campsite

[@lesleyramsden]

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. I spent a long time in the same shoes. Life is about LIVING it !You got this brother....👊 AMAZING Camp spot....well done !

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you!

[@melissalane-q7m]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! So thrilled you won’t be wasting precious time with a pesky job! Seriously, I hope your KZbin income will significantly increase! Since discovering your channel, I look forward to your videos and watch them as soon as I see the announcement. The film footage of Canada’s beautiful forests, rivers, lakes, etc! The wonderful walks and hikes you take us on bring back memories of my own Canadian hiking and camping! Your positive, upbeat personality, the soothing sounds of nature, and the spectacular vistas nourish my heart and my soul! I always enjoy the routine tasks of replenishing the water, putting away groceries, cooking, cleaning, and maintenance, too! Makes me feel like I’m really there. Thank you!

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you! 😊

[@bbrine3294]

You could always look for work at a favorite ski resort! Whatever works, works.

[@darlene9154]

You need to get a Buddy Dog to walk and explore! 🐶

[@orianac.3554]

As a city bound person, not by choice, I look forward to watching your videos of our great outdoors and all its glorious wilderness. I can feel the stress of the daily grind evaporate while I'm watching and I can practically smell the fresh pine air. Thank you for helping me keep my sanity and I watched this one from beginning to end. Your photography including the drone shots is just beautiful.

[@deboraward1574]

Wow wow what a spot.! I’d never want to leave. Loving your videos more and more

[@richardsimms251]

Excellent video

[@christyborkowski6866]

It’s so beautiful there with the snow falling , and all the snow covered trees ❤

[@susiehiggins87]

My favourite treat, a Kevin video 😊. Everything about your video's are so interesting, wholesome, music, scenery and of course....you.😊

[@DebDeBoop]

Go for it! If it makes you happy,do it! I’ve spent to much of my life not happy but doing what everyone else thought I should. Now Im 62 and disabled,no money or income. Do it when you want to. Its your life!!! Remember that!😊❤

[@jchai1343]

I’m so glad you’re doing well ,you deserve it!!! You have done lots for us ! Sending us relaxing great videos! Glad you are taking care of yourself!

[@kasy343]

This channel is freakin Awesome!! Epic scenery!! Your uplifting personality gets me every time and cheers me up!!

[@EddieRodriguez-j7z]

Kevin, the footage in this video is incredible. The mountains, where you stopped to make coffee. Gorgeous. Then, the campsite with those giant snow- covered trees was the icing on the cake. I was waiting to see Mr. Tumnus from Narnia come walking out of the forest as you walked down the snowy path. I'll say again, you are a talented individual. Keep doing what you're doing. I truly enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@rustybullet3165]

Been watching your videos for a couple of days, and I notice you are an honest guy down to Earth and have great way of telling your story. thank you sharing your story

[@ddscurtis]

I just love your videos! What wonderful views! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! Everything about your videos is such a treat: the places you go, the views, the music you select, and you!

[@SteveWaller-r8y]

Hey Kevin great video there's two ways to keep your head above the water when you're in the water. You can tread water and worry about how long you can tread water for or you can float on your back breathe in and out slowly and enjoy the beautiful sky when the water gets too rough then it's time to get out but enjoy the float I think you've made the right choice😊

[@jeremyburr1762]

You are a kind and good soul. So easy to see that. Grateful too. Cheers to you. God has your back bro. Keep your head down and push forward doing what you love. Live cheap as you are. Push out content like crazy. Every repair. Every tribulation. Break down finances. Just be you bro. B

[@aliceevans3377]

Life is too short to Not do what you really want to. Regrets are hard to live with, you don't want to spend energy wishing you'd done something. Do everything you can while you're young and healthy, life changes in a heartbeat. Safe travels and GOD bless

[@oneil4252]

I hope you can continue your life style. You figured things out early. I would have done things much different than I did. I'm lucky things have turned out the best possible. I enjoy my days.

[@Indianinthemachine]

Such a good guy, hope to see you on the road somewhere in BC.

[@elizabethash4720]

Well, the river and the fir trees are beautiful, even if the falling snow sounds "spooky." The trees have their stories to tell, I guess they are just showing their resilient side by making a sound because they can. 😅🌳 🌲 🌴

[@AmericaBound]

Wait, Kevin, who said anything about liking your videos? 😂😂😂Just kidding I’m glad you’re able to do this because I like watching the videos. I love how the simple things in life make you so happy.😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@dlwightman]

Heavy Equipment jobs will always be there as a backup . Go big or go home. Happy travels man. Keep the vids coming.

[@NorthwoodsAmerican]

Drive to Prudhoe Bay, they’ll hire you on the spot, work for 3 months and take a year off. You’re young. I have a friend that is one of the lead chefs for Conoco Phillips and makes big bank. Alberta sure is beautiful! Greetings from Minnesota, USA where it’s -27C now yay!!!

[@alariaesculenta8177]

Problem is he needs a working visa ..... but great idea though

[@grndiesel]

Ok, not gonna lie, that pantry is awesome! One small suggestion you might want to try. Fry the beef until golden brown first, then add the rest of the ingredients. Gives a great flavor for any beef sauce. Works great for tacos, spaghetti sauce, and of course, chili. Unions always give a nice balance to tomatos as well, since they naturally turn sweet when cooked. You're living the dream, Kevin! I however, go back to work on monday (for now...).

[@jakes1292]

Right on Kevin. If you still want to exercise the Ikon and want to burn the rubber to the US, check out Idaho Srings for a camp spot. There are a lot of heavy equipment opportunities and we are in ski country.

[@funkytunes6549]

Your young and free and doing the things you love the most. Beautiful camp site next to the river ! Your living the dream of a lifetime!! 😊

[@brendawithgardenquestion5467]

I have to ask… where are you ? Such beautiful spots along to river. I find your videos relaxing with all the different scenery. Also informational with all the “truck and accessories talk”. I’m glad you have chosen to live your life this way. So many of us wish we could be in your shoes, travelling down the road to your next adventure. Thank you so much for taking us with you through your videos. It’s a real treat to experience it via them, especially when it’s hard to get out for ourselves. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year ahead!😊

[@juixystardust5305]

Keep going. Im 53 and dream of doing what you’re doing. You only live once, grab on and hold tight in perusing your dreams. Love your videos. I’ve just subscribed and look forward to watching you as you adventure. If you are to go to the USA hit Utah New Mexico and Arizona. Great landscape scenery. EZ

[@Liz_0531]

Love how you always make a good time wherever you are! Another great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@darlene9154]

Wow! I love the snow! I’m from BC in the lower mainland and always pray for snow. I need to live some place where there is lots of snow in the winter. I always dream of a white Christmas. 🎄❤️

[@davetiger5960]

Magic moments! Amazing images ! Hello from Montréal!! The ouest coast of the Canada is just Beautiful!!

[@sarahhope6315]

If things get tight, you can always do a small job until breakup happens. But I'm sure you are going to be just fine. This video made me miss lower mainland. It's always so beautiful all through there. Thank you for the amazing content as always!

[@maryhull3877]

If U have a trade that U can work anywhere, YOUR thought process U just shared makes sense....you have your youth, a great camper and truck...talent to fix it...and your content U post is real as U are.....keep the adventure fresh!!! I'm all for what Uve shared

[@emilysometimes]

I love your videos! They are so cozy and fun. I wish you continued success!

[@jodiswanson2075]

Still absolutely enjoying your videos Kevin! We look forward to them constantly ❤ keep up the awesome work!

[@MargoRobbie-ku9wj]

You should definitely do like a fly with me over the snowy mountains with your drone. I live in the states and love seeing new places

[@hugoleblanc4084]

This is easy just go to the car wash and ask to fill your tanks or any big commercial shops that you can fit into. Just ask! For dumping just use biodegradable soap and dump anywhere. Save you so much time and fuel driving around.

[@jet6110]

Keep going...only one life..can't beat experiences..adventure is the breath of life!

[@happycamper65]

Go for it 👏 Even if you choose another path down the road, in 30 years you'll be glad you did 👍

[@PlayNHookyinthewoods]

Hey Kevin, recent sub. My family and I have been to that spot several times…love it there. Because of your videos I ended up finding the same camper as you(2004), I really appreciate all the advice! Looking forward to breaking her in soon! Happy trails and keep the videos coming! Cheers🍻

[@jchai1343]

What would be interesting is showing us how to supply your camper!!

[@MattAK]

I'm stoked to hear that YT is doing well enough you can keep going! Hope that you're able to make it down here to explore the states, clicked the join button to help contribute a bit! I also felt like I just wasted around in my 20's, changed careers in my 30's but it was still pretty safe and not really what I wanted I don't think. Now I'm 40 and getting ready for my nomad life in my trailer for the next couple of years. Edit: 36:25 Ryan Twomey built a camper for a little Kei Truck recently.

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

That’s great to hear and thank you!!! Ryan twomey? I’ll check it out!!

[@blueman5924]

Best wishes for an amazing 2025 of adventuring ! Safe and happy trails ! ❄️🌲🤙

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you! You stay safe as well!

[@MaureenBell-p6x]

I love your enthusiasm when you find the perfect spot! And in the Canadian Rockies to boot!

[@DoreenGregory-sj3df]

Sounds like you got your shit together! Do this while you can,all the rest will fall into place. …follow your heart…..cheers…

[@carlyswan7447]

I love your truck camper.Nicest one I have seen.

[@darrenh5665]

Great video Kev, keeping it simple and sincere is a winning formula.

[@paddleal9194]

Kevin... get some cross country skis to help cover more ground and explore a bit more. Adds to the channel.

[@Rewardsofwanderlust]

No Risk… No Reward!

[@Sasquatchflow]

Epic spot on the river! Should’ve done a polar dip!

[@corradettimotorsports360]

Nice adventure! Money can buy a lot of material things in life, but it can't buy character, time and sense of adventure, you're on the right path at creating a life worth living, not living a life that centers around the pursuit of financial wealth...just joined in on your adventures!

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you! So true!!!

[@zalindan.6350]

Hello hello from here!!! 😊 Kevin you just do you and we will continue to tag along🎉 Take care and stay safe til the next. 🇨🇦🤗🇸🇯

[@jeanniewilliams1937]

Knowing people who are so ingrained in their jobs, it's good to see that someone has successfully escaped.

[@dandmb50]

I understand the love of freedom you feel in this nomad lifestyle. My best friend lived most of his life in this manner while I worked full time with 6 months break every half decade. I am pleased with my gov. pension while my friend's pension barely gets him by. So a word of advice, keep this in mind.

[@backroadschooliedriver9136]

You do you , your young enough to take the risk . Enjoy the challenge! Love your videos

[@markbrennan8392]

Just beautiful spots you find Kevin TFS and that was a damn fine looking chilli Bro :D

[@aimeeburleson9788]

We are with you Kevin!! Going to watch subscriptions rise. You have a really good channel

[@Just_CPaul]

Go with your heart and do what makes you happy!

[@andrewbartholomew5876]

Bro, your feeling it - ride the wave!

[@gregjohns4003]

Thanks Kevin 😊😊

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Man that was a sweet spot by the river! I have enjoyed your content I hope Your channel keeps growing so you don’t have to work a regular job.

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

Hey man, Fellow KZbinr here, love your Videos. next time u are around Calgary lets go for a Tims Coffee🤪🤪 how about that Cheers

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Next time I’m in the area!

[@oscarmdog5275]

Great content! Two things for you if you like... Invest in a set of good tire chains. Next to a winch, they are the most for the least when it comes to snow. The weight of the camper and a set chains, and you'd have to really try and get stuck. Number two... buy a coffee percolator!!!! : ) And yes, the first site is busy in the summer, the second site isn't, but the road is very rough.

[@marlamartucci6071]

You always capture the most stunning views!!! Canada is spectacularly beautiful! Just my opinion Kevin, but i say follow your joy!! Thanks for such a great video❤

[@rickwaggoner8479]

Here it is Jan 4 and i'm just now seeing this but all good no doubt, as always I love everything you post for us, and talking about road trips to the states man, you just gotta come to Arkansas Kevin, please, i'd love to show you places to camp and hang out my dude !!!

[@sherylmartin2691]

I love the amazing mountain scenery, the awesome campsite by the river and the beautiful music. Most of all I enjoy your enthusiasm and hope. 🤗

[@JBLegal09]

Some people spend decades trying to figure out what makes them happy Kev - you already know.

[@mitchconliffe3932]

Great choice in music Kevin.

[@kimsutton5848]

My hubby and I have been truckcamping for nearly 30 years. When we can't be out there camping, the next best thing is watching others! Lol! Hubby will be retiring soon and we'll be on the road a lot more!

[@Astrocam88]

I also really like walking in the winter on the trails on my parent's property. The trees were sooo pretty tonight and it's so quiet and peaceful. It was -9C and I barely felt it, well, except on my face lol. It even started snowing quite hard. I'm in Nova Scotia. And sometimes we wish we had gotten farther sooner in life (I wish the same), but sometimes it just wasn't meant to happen then. Here's to your channel growing this year 🥳

[@Cancer66d-2s]

I’ve been a silent watcher for almost 5months and I really look forward to your videos. I know ur gonna blow up on YT. Just stay and consistent and what ur doing. Good luck and God bless 🙏🏼🥰

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you!

[@DarremMcQueen]

THANK YOU KEVIN! Hopefully see ya on the road someday

[@Drewturgin]

Go to golden , red mountain and white water. Maybe big white then maybe whistler and then the coastal resorts. Our dollar is too low to go to the states

[@roxanneforsberg1877]

Im so proud of you! You're living your dream! Getting out there and experiencing the world! I think that's beyond awesome! If you sometime have kids, etc then things may change abit. But you know what? So many people live like you do, with children too! So you keep on living your dream! I wish I'd been wise enough to do what you're doing years ago! Have fun n live life to the uttermost!!!

[@jasonmoss4315]

Watching in New Brunswick. Loving your content! Hoping for all the best for you! Keep up the awesome content!

[@scubatraveler100]

Wonderful channel and very informative. Thank You

[@ChaserErin]

Kevin you are doing the right thing! And you will be successful because you already are. Sending you good vibes as you explore and I look forward to your adventures! If you’re in Oklahoma in May our roads may cross under a rainbow 🌈 after catching the supercell of course 🌪️

[@lucymartyn8205]

Do what makes you happy!!!! But you seem like a sensible guy! ❤️🇨🇦👍

Keep up the great content Kevin!

[@user-zo6xg8bx4l]

Wishing you LUCK, Kevin!!

[@augustwoehler843]

Keep going!!! Dont look back!! Come down to the states and do a ski resort truck camping series. People will love it. Water on? Party on!

[@lorjo_lovetopaint]

Yes enjoy your videos and views you share with us. Please though when you doing a panorama do a little slower so we can see it all clearly. You are travelling in spots I never would get a chance to see. Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@catfishm.1361]

Feels like -10 degrees Fahrenheit with a blizzard here for Sunday January 5Th. 2025!!!🥶😬💨❄️🌫️🙏🏻👍🏻

Beautiful river camp! Follow your heart. 👍🇨🇦😎❄️✨️

[@carolguezen5829]

You got this!!! And it sounds like you have a skill that is in demand so you will always have a back up plan…but you got this! Doing something outside of the norm is always scary…but look at your subscribers…there people who love your content… You got this!

[@katherinespong]

So happy YT is going in the right direction! Enjoy this and we will enjoy enjoying your work.

[@BigBeerBellyBen]

what a nice think to wake up to, 45 min episode of Kevin! Great Saturday morning watch!
