Adventures in Boondocking - Arizona VanLife

[@louparry7721]

Hi Brian! Talk about being transported, I'm always transported every time i watch your videos. From the time you start talking until the very end of your daily journey. You have been blessed with a very calm nature that just draws me up and invites me in. Also, I can always count on having a good meal at the end of the day! I couldn't find a more hospitable host any where. Thank you for sharing your peaceful nature, it really rubs off on others! I am fascinated about the history of your present camp. The icing on the cake is the majestic views! God bless your journey Brian.

[@daneboro6847]

Very true, he is my favorite van dweller channel, others come and go , some change, Brian is the real deal, plus he never disappoints.

[@adeleetherton2665]

I agree with Jeff and Tall Dude... was so interesting that I did not even realize how much time flew by! Great job.

[@PedroNord]

I love the longer format. It’s fun to see you explore these old abandoned dreams. Also liked the “transporter” scene. That was an expensive special effects shot back in the original Star Trek series. If you ever rewatch episodes the actors always took the same positions in the transporter room so they could reuse the same footage of them disappearing and reappearing. Now you can do it on your laptop. Peace.🦋

[@cathyjay2569]

I can only speak for myself, but I could watch a 30 minute segment from you every day of the week and twice on Sundays! So fun and fascinating!!

[@deetrvl4life875]

I love spending any time with you in any of your places and adventures. Period! ❤️

[@freewill1114]

The can you found was definitely a tobacco can. Held tobacco for roll your own cigarettes, or smoking in a pipe. In my foolish youth, I bought these for my use. The cans were very good to mount on a stake and hold papers for your gold mining claim, so possibly that had been a mining claim there. Great video. That Prescott area has a lot going for it; good weather year around, not as hot as Phoenix area, and not as cold as Flagstaff. My wife and I spent some time there looking for property to retire to, but didn't find anything we could afford.

[@kathyweaver5113]

Love seeing things through your eyes. Please keep taking us along on your adventures. Loved seeing the old Pepsi bottle and tobacco can. People really shouldn’t burn things with nails in them. In all our years tent camping by boat on an island we cleaned camp before setting up camp and before we left it was a great camping spot for the next campers. I relive those precious memories with my family. I’m thankful you take me along each week😁

[@MrsDawncathey]

The length on this is perfect! I have been binge watching and have added a couple of places to my bucket list. Great work! I absolutely love your channel. It's medicinal. Thank you. ❤️👌The music you use in all your videos is awesome, I'm really enjoying it.

[@aztrails1]

I like the long format Brian. You make a good amateur archeologist btw

[@Kymberly737]

This video was amazing Brian! Thanks so much for bringing us along for the adventure. The length was fine, the time flew by because the content was so interesting and it made me want to know more about what really happened in that area. Please feel free to give us more longer videos in the future. Take care. Peace.

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Wow, I find all the remnants of that old camp very interesting. someone put a lot of work into the site. Excellent video Brian, thanks you so much for taking the time and effort to share with us these beautiful national forests. Safe travels, peace.

[@jimrodda]

it's a great bit of escapism, for those of us who can't be out there, and being an English man it's nice to see the great outdoors of the US. thanks Brian 👍🇬🇧

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Enjoyed exploring with you, Brian! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@IrisWestcott]

Longer, shorter - they’re always perfect. I managed to catch today’s during my grandson’s morning nap (he’s still asleep :). Thank you for continuing to bring us along and share what you see.

[@BobPlank_KK4DIV]

Definitely like the longer video every once in a while. I know there are challenges to always producing a longer video, but it is nice to see every once in a while. Always enjoy them no matter the length. Keep up the good work.

[@danrandall794]

Another great video. Long or short we love them all. I laughed when you said big houses and you wondered how many kids they might have. So funny. When I was a kid it was not unusual for someone to have three bedrooms, one bathroom and six kids. Now it's six bedrooms, four baths and two kids. Dual sport? Can't wait. Been looking myself but have not found what I want yet.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks Dan! ✌🏼

[@deborahrahalski]

Your storytelling and great videography all add up to good content whatever length you post. Always well paced and interesting. Got a kick out of the portal transport moment- nice bit of humor and well done.

[@ToastingMyJam360]

I prefer the longer format but really any length is great bc your content is so Awesome! Love all your videos. Keep them coming! Be safe out there!

[@wingnutbert9685]

I always find it funny when people complain about videos being "too long". One can pause and watch it in sections. Or watch at 1.5x speed. Or click forward. We have the power folks. I like whatever you want to do Brian. :)

[@AdventureVanMan]

Hey watching KZbin is a tough job! 😋✌🏼

[@talldude5841]

Great job. Your videos are never too long when your showing beautiful nature. Be safe and keep going.

[@bettybrigance6784]

Great adventure, two camp sites, rough road on one and mysterious history on another.great views ..thanks for taking us all along, be safe and keep going

[@davidcampbell4174]

I enjoyed every second of the video. I also love to stumble upon remnants like this and try to figure out the puzzle. It was definitely not too long for me. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Your channel has been crushing it lately.

[@adamd8587]

I enjoyed the longer format, from time to time anyway. It felt like the video had a good flow, with a mix of different events. Changing camps, hitting the road, getting a little van work done, biking, hiking, creativity... It seemed like you were in a good place, enjoying it all, which made it all the better. I guess the best videos, on any channel, is when they feel real and genuine from the creator. A shorter video could be as good as a longer, when it feels authentic, much as this one did. So I guess in short, keep doing you, short or long, that's why I keep coming back. Also, another possibility, I wonder if that camp had anything to do with mining of some sort, I'm not that familiar with the area? Thank you!

[@gwengallen9157]

Agree completely!

[@roneo117able]

Hey Brian, I've never watched a Too Long of a video you've done. Always metered just right. Been watching you off & on nearly ever since you've been mobile adventuring although it's my first time commenting. You're like a younger brother I never had. Just keep on documenting your adventures for as long as you can so that the rest of us old fogey types get to ride vicariously along with. Thanks so much! Happy Trails - "and away we go!" Ron Orr

[@jackirichard414]

Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tracythorn2918]

I like the longer videos, it's interesting to tag along on your explorations. A dual-sport motorcycle would make trips to town for supplies a lot more economical plus they are a lot of fun.

[@fvw88]

Didn’t feel like a half hour, always a good start to my day when you post a new video! Nice special effects too, made me laugh.

[@goldviper5280]

That was an awesome adventure with all sorts of thing to speculate about. That is always fun. The time just went by so quickly, I was looking for more. Thank You Brian. Arizona is a great state to visit. I have lived here for 27 years and not leaving.

[@WisconsinWanderer]

I really dig these longer videos once in awhile Brian kinda breaks things up a bit. But I always look forward to your adventures dude! Wishing you and Kelly all the best! Thanks

[@mannyortiz4814]

Brian my darling, it is amazing to me to realize that you are out in the middle of no where talking to a go pro, cell phone, or some kind of camera. Walking around showing us the beautiful surroundings. Must be very calming for your soul. All of God’s beauty right there in front of you. Take care and stay safe and beware of false prophets 🌞❤️😇🙏🕊🌹🍺👍🇺🇸

[@MrfiX725]

Transport into another dimension... thanks for the snort-laugh, Brian. AdventureVanMan is my favorite KZbin channel!!!

[@atlantaguy762]

However long you want to make them is fine with me and I like it when you decide. That's part of the charm of spending time with Brian.

[@peggy011]

Thank you, Brian, for the longer video. Seeing the landscape up close and personal is a nice addition to your explorations. Create them as you see fit Be well, Peggy.

[@hikerliz]

That’s crazy. I remember the episode when you showed us that area. All the best to you.

[@justthisonechick7068]

You asked for comments. I loved it. Especially the bike ride exploring and I love how you make up stories about your findings. You are such a chill adventurous soul. Peace brother. I like the music as well.

[@hicks5189]

I like the longer format and being taken along as you explore the area where you camp. You’re a great story teller and it’s always interesting to get a glimpse into your travels and daily life.

[@kirstyo6943]

Brian your videos can never be too long for me. Love following along on your adventures!

[@Ekinnajay]

Super interesting, I would love for you to make these whenever you want. I had no idea it was 30 minutes. As I have said before, your content is like zen to me, so calm and peaceful. This one got my imagination going, too. I am leaning towards a cattle operation. The cigarette box is what made me think that because the growers would be smoking what they are growing.

[@kitaoden703]

Always love your content great mysteries that stream looked so inviting ✌️🌵

[@3generations393]

Total pleasure watching "where's Brian" 🤔 You bring adventure to every video with the the best filming & music together with your calming voice!! I look forward to every video and they could never be too long. May God bless you in all you do. Hello to Kelly. Thank you Brian

[@bevtrue6937]

Fascinating exploration. Poking around, you never know what you will find. I loved the creek at your last site of your previous camp spot. Cool. I always enjoy your explorations.

[@glennb546]

Hi Brian, Great videos as always. I must say, I did enjoy the longer video because I can get into them better, normally, I just start to get into it and it ends. Look forward to the next instalment. Cheers!

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Love how you give ideas on what you think was going on there. Nice catch on the elk.🌻🌻

[@MacksellAKQJ109]

Prince Albert pipe tobacco used to be available in a tin like the rusty tin you found with the old Pepsi bottle

[@joharmon2148]

Finding things in the middle of nowhere is always fun and leaves you thinking what could this have been?? You even had an out of the world experience pretty cool Brian.

[@luaaline3343]

Love being along as you explore. End of week and good to relax with this longer adventure video.

[@bobdawson5221]

Great post Brian, really enjoyed it .Very interesting thanks.

[@alvaradacosta293]

Hi Brian... Where did you buy that heavy duty magnet 🧲. I would like to make myself a magic bar .

[@AdventureVanMan]

I got mine at Harbor Freight Tools but I think Hope Depot might have them too.

[@debslifesimplified6406]

I agree with Lou your videos entrance me away from my day. Even if my dogs try to distract me I always finish your videos and enjoy them. Long or short it doesn't really matter to me. Thank you for taking us along.

[@iliadee350]

Brian I love your videos I don’t care how long they are I’ll still watch them.

[@arnaldoscachetti3558]

Hey Brian, I felt like was getting an education with this video. I love how you take the time to explain the story, awesome video.

[@barbarasummers280]

Great to see you still having a wonderful time in the beautiful outdoors!

[@SelfEsteemArchitect]

I enjoyed the entire video-not too long at all. Love it. Great content, please keep ot up.

[@davenelson4334]

Love the long format too and can't wait for you to get a dual sport and take us along!

[@dzaz99]

I've been watching some of your older videos as I'm a relatively "new" viewer from around lockdown time. You have come a long way and your content is great!

[@meezermeowmy]

Great episode! Thank you for showing us all the details you found. You take us with you on your travels - a real treat!

[@cherieleeishere]

Really enjoyed exploring that area with you thanks! The longer format is very cool and the triangle vanishing point made me giggle 👏🏻 thanks for sharing your world with us 🙏🏼 stay safe! Blessings from Australia 🇦🇺🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺🌻

[@NewtonWashinton]

I enjoyed this video and your thoughts on what may have been built. A 125 or 250 dual sport would be really nice for exploring off road. Length of video is no problem the longer the better. Thanks for bringing us along. 👍

[@danmiller5027]

Really like your long format!!! thank you, Brian

[@theathjr]

Brian I was so stoked to see such a long video posted by my favorite vantuber !! That flew by quick kinda like when you get immersed into a good book ! Loved it brother! Safe Travels Amigo 👊🏼❤️

[@derekrichard9189]

Long long time viewer and just like to say I’ve always loved your videos but I’d like to say I’m loving these new videos !! Keep up the great adventures ! Your getting me ready for my start this winter! Just finished my cargo trailer conversion and love it but I sure like your conversion too …. Thanks Brian

[@davidb8397]

Hi Brian, I really like going along with you on your adventures. I know that longer videos are more work for you but I really appreciate them. I'm always sad when the video ends, even the longer ones go by too fast. You have such a great calming personality and it's so interesting to see how you live and the beautiful places that I'll probably never get to visit myself. Thank you for what you do and stay safe out there

[@lost_in_america8140]

Not too long at all, Brian. Love watching and learning from you. Keep doing what you do.

[@erikzornes4183]

good show, enjoyed the longer version. the triangle thing made me laugh this morning. safe travels.

[@WHavriloRT]

The time flew by. I only wish it was a little longer so you could sneak a meal in there. I always enjoy watching you whip up a meal and enjoying.

[@lindageiling5922]

I love the wildlife. Beautiful. I love the longer format.

[@defuller1]

My wife thought this video went a little too long, but I didn't mind it at all! Very interesting content. Thanks.

[@msvg3]

This was a fascinating episode, and I enjoyed every minute. All of the exploring - around the campsite and into another dimension - was time well spent. Thank you for sharing. ✌️❤️🥾🥾

[@bosse641]

Enjoyed it, Brian. Very intriguing place you found. And what a view.

[@bannlaughlin3544]

Love the creek! Wow, the facial hair is handsome! Cites are beautiful. Thank you for sharing

[@Gayb898]

Longer videos are the best you rock Brian.

[@angiet3224]

I love adventuring with you. It was kewl to see the survivor marks. I didn’t know those were out there. It is fun to find places like that and imagine what life was like. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure.

[@johnhuff393]

Good morning from Godley Texas, another great camp location. Trying to figure out who came before us at a location definitely leaves a lot to the imagination. Stay safe and happy travels 😎

[@gdm620]

I normally don't like long videos but with yours they are so good they don't seem that long. It's like I am there with you seeing the sights. Thank you for sharing.

[@jodyseaman1885]

Really enjoyed this video. I seem to remember that flagstone from one of your earlier videos. Finding those 3 markers is cool, I never knew that there are usually 3 in a triangle. Love the view from that location. Someone had some plans to create a little home or something in that area

[@davestevis200]

I love the longer video. I never get tired of watching your content. You continue to provide the best content of any nomad out there. Thank you so much for documenting your journey and sharing with us all. I continue to learn so much from you and I hope you never tire of sharing your journey on KZbin. ✌️

[@sframirez3366]

Perfect time Brian. Really enjoyed your descriptions. Special effects were awesome. You are correct walking the sites and discovering is what makes the place fun. Great video

[@mountains1233]

I really like the format of the last two videos. I watched all of it, didn't even notice the time. This is my first time watching the channel again for a year or so.

[@TheMsPetal]

I love your "detective" work! And that transporter effect was so much fun!! You do the bests videos!!

[@rhondamontiel3827]

I love finding old spots like that too. My mind wanders as well, contemplating all the possibilities. I bought 40 acres of raw land in Winslow many yrs back and did lots of exploring

[@lindac7146]

I am always happy with anything you're willing to share. I like a combination of shorter videos followed by a lengthier one. I guess I just like everything you do. Thx for sharing.

[@bighoss8518]

Great video as usual. Videos are never to long when your showing us how beautiful it is out there.

[@SelfEsteemArchitect]

Really liked exploring the land - that was fun!! Always a great video! Thanks so much!!

[@annhysell6064]

Wow, I didn't even realize it was longer until you mentioned it. Very interesting, what a fun place to explore. As always, thank you for sharing!

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Hi there great video fantastic sites!! I missed you cooking yourself lunch or dinner....... looking forward to the next one thanks

[@carlaifera5254]

Nice vid! 👍.... Thanx for the history .... 🙋🏻🌄☕

[@ricktrent275]

Hi Brian, something else about those concrete footings in that cliff. Maybe they were going to put up a big water holding tank for watering cattle.

[@TheSunfire96]

We love the longer videos for sure!! Tobacco tin was probably Prince Albert!! Beautiful there and I think you were correct about that being a base camp for the survey party back in the day!! Have a great adventure!!

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

Thanks Brian as always appreciated!

[@markcoleman3752]

Your videos are always informative You always find neat places to camp We enjoy your videos that's why we keep coming back

[@nancyh8657]

I definitely like the longer videos

[@jrvielle562]

Love the longer videos! Makes us feel like we are there, especially when you add in all the exploring you do!

[@coragernand1164]

Loved this video!!! Thanks for taking us along..

[@cheapwanderer9218]

Hey Brian, I like the longer format. Your stile of video helps keep my short attention span in check. I look forward to every episode. Thank you for what you do.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning Brian and thumbs UP to you and safe travels.

[@karenrogers6149]

I really enjoyed watching the longer format. It gives you more time to show the area around you & what’s going on!

[@joekrueger615]

We like the longer format videos and the shorter ones, too. Good mixture of video lengths. We also appreciate your meanderings in the area where you camp showing what you’ve discovered. One of the great aspects of boondocking in the middle of nowhere is never knowing what you’ll run across next.

[@marielittlebit]

I really am enjoyed learning about the nail magnet. That was a brilliant idea on your part. Longer videos when you're exploring are awesome.

[@Garseraph]

That was great- love being taken on the tour; the longer videos are fun & interesting!

[@gwengallen9157]

My husband and I watch all your videos. This video was very interesting, and beautiful scenery especially in your new campsite. Oh, but the creek footage in the first part of video was great too. We enjoy see you cooking, fixing whatever needs fixing, driving along the open road. We don't mind long or short videos. You always do a good job with showing us something interesting, even if its just catching us up with what is going on with you, and you have a really good eye for showing us beautiful scenery and close ups of things as well. We always look forward to seeing what Adventure Van Man is up to!!!
