Living the Beach Life! VanLife On the Road

[@RemusKingOfRome]

beach with no waves .. and no crowds or police .. chill beach

[@valeried4504]

Oregon is a beautiful State. Thanks for sharing....

[@caveredecorator5310]

nothing better than cruising the oregon coast vistas in a convertible.

[@judycarey9051]

Thank you for showing me the most beautiful coastline I've ever seen. Love those huge rocks.

[@wesallen4228]

You got way from the high temps to beautiful beaches. Now nice. Great dtone shoots.

[@joeski10]

MAN you have the life I am happy for you keep the videos coming

[@Dedhedted71]

Your channel is the only youtube channel that I never miss a single video! Thank you Brian!

[@Sasnak]

Ditto

[@practicalprepper001]

Like the intro clip with van's side being filmed as you drive down the road. Beautiful scenery and beach. Good seeing you again. ;)-

[@myblessedhope3]

Do you ever imagine what it must have been like for the Lewis and Clark expedition when they finally hit that coast and saw all that beauty? Also, all those years urban camping came in handy for you in figuring out the sleeping arrangements next to the beach. Thanks for taking us along. It felt like I was right there.

[@HikingTheSonora]

That drone footage spoils me every time.

[@cactitat]

Thanks for the info on the Oregon beaches!

[@merlekay]

WOW JUST WOW THE BEACH IS WONDERFUL ! :-)

[@peterregan7601]

I'm a resident in Oregon. One thing I appreciate is the fact that the beaches are designated as public land, not broken up by private ownership. On much of the beach area, camping is allowed, and on quite a few stretches, driving is also allowed - unless otherwise sign-posted (though getting stuck in soft sand at the access point is possible). Also, the rules of the road have made it legal to stop and stay overnight anywhere you can pull completely off the traveled roadway lane - again, where not sign-posted. (Some coastal towns and state parks, such as Fort Stevens at the north end of the state do post as "day use only", though.)

[@sylviajones3249]

Loving the beaches and scenery. If I never get there in person, at least I went there through your vids. No words are sufficient for the gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you is all I have.

[@WestCoastRoller]

Great video Brian! You seem happy and enjoying yourself! 👍

[@AdventureVanMan]

+West Coast Roller Thanks man. Things are good. Seems you are doing good as well! Cheers👍✌👊

[@Julie_M_]

Thanks for the great video, so appreciated! The fact that the beaches are 100% public is just amazing, I'm delighted to read all the comments from all the proud Oregon residents. Alis volat propriis

[@shadow1975able]

Brian, this was so beautiful, Thank You for all the wonderful videos. Keep rolling.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

This is beautiful and brings so many memories back to me! Thank you for sharing! Your videos are so beautifully done!

[@stanthecomputerman]

Living the Van Life! Looks awesome. Great video. Keep on rockin in the free world!

[@vicO1323]

Our family used to visit Cannon Beach for several summers back in the 50's and 60's. We would rent a cabin on the beach which are no longer there. You could drive on the beach then too. Not as crowded back then as it is now. That's Haystack Rock the local landmark and seashell and starship collecting. Which is also illegal now. I didn't realize how lucky I was to visit such a beautiful place. Thanks for the memories.

[@sueg2658]

Awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@TheGlampingGuys]

You always find the best places to park overnight. LOL! Love learning from you the stealth camping. The NW coast is so beautiful. As always, loving the Drone flyover shots. Gorgeous!

[@darkbluematter1753]

So amazing! What a gorgeous coastline. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@dizzyk54]

So beautiful! Take care Thanks for sharing Vicki

[@colleenmauler5556]

OMG !!! I LOVE THE SCENERY !!! JUST BEAUTIFUL !!

[@dandydan2037]

You're living the life Brian. You lucky Dog!!! Stay safe

[@MrChangeordie]

Great video as well

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Another awesome video! Thanks Brian! Safe travels brother!

[@IrenesVanventures]

Yep, you can have fires any place you want there. I have had many fires there at Cannon Beach and is one of favorite places..🔥🤗👍 That is the famous Haystack Rock!!! 😉 Glad you are enjoying the OR coast. 👍😎💓😄🚐

[@TheSlotHeads]

I bet your solar is much happier on the coast :) 101 is such a nice scenic drive, I've done some of it along the OR and WA coast, would love to follow it down to Cali some time but that will have to be another year. We haven't made it to the coast yet this summer, maybe next week will work out for that South Jetty visit near Florence. Loving all your coastal drone footage.

[@ront9588]

I love watching your Oregon videos, you see the beauty as we Oregonian's do. Your music even fits, in my opinion, being a native Oregonian.

[@ricks.1318]

GOD ..... What AWESOME drone footage Brian ..... LOVE those beaches on the Oregon coast , buddy :) :) :) :) You give us viewers such GREAT QUALITY video .... "Thank you" !! Rick S. (Massachusetts)

[@NorthRiverTV]

Enjoy all of your videos Brian, but these scenes of Oregon are spectacular. Yes, I'm jealous lol. Good travels!

[@ThePES_Channel]

Those beaches are amazing! Oregon looks so nice and seems alot more chilled out!

[@BlazeTomBay]

Beautiful beach and great job on the drone pretty scenic views

[@visualtraveler5263]

Very nice drone views Brian. And I LOVE the mellow guitar music that you put with it. I've seen several other videos by those that travel and they always put some kind of upbeat music that just doesn't fit the scenery. To me, especially with a beach that beautiful, the beach is for meditating, talking to God and just a perfect place to mellow out. Enjoyed another one Brian,..stay safe. peace ✌

[@jdeoleo27]

My Man Brian!.. Awesome footage brother. Your video production skills are getting better n better each time! 👊😎👌 Besafe

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Loving the drone shots!

[@marig1972]

Beautiful video...Thanks for sharing. :))

[@daviddixon8778]

Brian, I am glad you are enjoying our beaches, living about an hour from where you were in Lincoln city you are reminding me that we have it so good here. The other thing we don't have on our coast is the crowds and throngs of people! We don't have the warm water that San Diego has but you can't have it all😊 Enjoy!

[@justfloating3944]

WOW! Awesome beach video! Makes miss being by the water more now. But also makes me want to explore Oregon when I begin van dwelling next year. Thanks Brian!

[@CherylYax]

So awesome, really enjoyed it all. Shared on my social media:))) Thumbs UP

[@mrbr549]

Looks like a blast Brian! I hate signs telling you what to do all the time too. But by the looks of those old campfires and the beer can in the sand, they may be putting in signs before long too.

[@bob_frazier]

Winter storms do our cleanup. It's the off leash dogs jumping on people and fighting with other dogs (on leash) that are going to loose out next. Just DON'T build your fire in the driftwood piles.

[@mrbr549]

Bob Frazier I hear ya, but it's a shame all the trash gets washed into the ocean.

[@bob_frazier]

Absolutely. We have "SOLVE" (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism) and we have regular beach clean up days too. Thjere are also some cool art and awareness things being done with flotsam and jetsam.

[@thegreathansoni]

awesome Brian

[@trenttrent9436]

Great video editing scenes.

[@nancywalton55]

Wow, you're right ... what a beautiful place to wake up to! I've got butterflies just watching this. I seemed to have missed it in your earlier videos that you are traveling up 101, #1 on my bucketlist. ( I'm getting my map out and taking notes!) I love the fact that the beach towns so far still seem rural and not commercialized. Beautiful, breathtaking beaches. I am lovin' your videos but they need to be longer! :-) Thank you for sharing. ♡

[@janicepeck4828]

Great video as always . Enjoyed getting to know Origin coast. Do beautiful. Appreciate you pointing out the parking, day use and over night . Drone views are always just so cool. SAFE JOURNEYS. THANK YOU FOR sharing.

[@bob_frazier]

That's Orygun.

[@waianaegal744]

that big rock is Haystack Rock, I was a volunteer for the US Fish and Wildlife last summer, spent 4 days a week at low tide for 4 months, got a full hook up rv site at Ecola Park north of Cannon beach. I so miss that beach and I'll probably try to go back next summer. I talked to people from all over the world telling them about the rock, the birds that are nesting and the marine gardens. It is part of the Oregon Island National Wildlife Refuge. Right now there are 2-4 thousand birds nesting on it with babies... Also you can't fly your drone within 1000 feet of it. Also the rock was in the movie Goonies... a lot of people come out to see it just cuz of the movie. Thanks for your video... memories!!!!!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Waianae Gal Thanks for your comment. Yes, Goonies is my favorite movie second to Back to the Future. I was happy to see some filming locations. 😁👍✌

[@jdeoleo27]

AdventureVanMan 👍👍👍👍

[@sallienavarrette4132]

Thank you for the tour....

[@MrChangeordie]

Man you finding some great spots out there lol...reminds me of Cali lol

[@100_zwe]

Can't wait to get out there next year! Glad the beaches are dog friendly! Thanks for the great videos. I marking my atlas!!

[@margaretmodrovsky1350]

My son lives in Portland Oregon. He likes that state . He's been known to just pop up wherever . Thanks for another enjoyible video.

[@subversivevegan]

If you enjoy the beaches in Oregon, thank those who supported the Oregon Beach Bill 50 years ago this year. The land along the Oregon Coast from the water up to sixteen vertical feet above the low tide mark is owned by the public!

[@bevliechty1161]

So awesome love your music too

[@diannew6066]

Looking like a great place to be! Love the almost empty beach. I know it was early when you shot that video but I hope it didn't get any more crowded.

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Beautiful!

[@ladyhannah6431]

I miss Oregon badly but its very hard to live there with a depressed economy. The beach is so beautiful but you noticed no one was in the water lmao its to cold....Great video, May God bless and keep you safe on your journey!

[@chrisrandall7795]

Oregon coast has beautiful beaches

[@aliabdi9847]

Were you able to swim in any of the oregon beaches yet.? you looked happy and relaxed thanks for sharing.

[@Tatiacha]

its super cold windsurfers wear wet suits

[@gvc56100]

outstanding drone footage.....

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

That's funny, the sand is beige. I have only gone to like Destin, or the gulf and the sand is pure white. Oregon sounds like a great place to go!!

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

beautiful area Brian.

[@donna8128]

I don't know Brian, but I think you might really enjoy the beaches around the Puget Sound in Washington too, it's rougher, more wild terrain. I'll be curious to see what you make of them. Myself, I love the Oregon coast. Probably, in part, because it's so different from "my" Puget Sound. You know, that grass is greener thing, lol. Oh, and that deep beautiful sound of the waves coming in on the Oregon Coast... heaven! It will be my first trip when my van is done! Thanks for taking us along : ) Sending love💞 and light✨.

[@edwardmoran1739]

Your drone work is fabulous. I have tried grandkid drones twice and it is super difficult, easy to lose or crash . Thanks, great camping video - just like I went there.

[@bevr2164]

Amazing.....

[@vibelife5133]

Awesome!

[@annahorton650]

So incredibly beautiful.

[@heathen-heart]

epic views!

[@focusedfreebird]

Amazing scenery....love your videos...new subscriber here

[@Jay-qq7so]

Cool vid, giving some good ideas thx 👌

[@cheath1018]

thank you for taken me back. that is hay stack rock at the beach.

[@lindathompson6678]

My home State! I was born in a small town called Sweet Home! Very beautiful but only for about 3-4 months of the year! Enjoy!

[@michaelrees5563]

that's the great thing about van life, you get to see places in the best of times and when it turns bad you can leave.

[@PriestP33]

Your videos are very inspiring. I especially like how you outline your day on the boring but interesting items (I am going to park in the public parking lot, go to the restroom, and start my day (para phrased I think). This gives us insight that you there are public bathrooms and that you eat / drink etc... I want to definitely do this in my next chapter - one question. Do you meet many people or do you prefer to be alone?

[@toddm9469]

Ok that did it Brian! I grew up on those beaches there then traded them for 15 years on San Diego beaches and now stuck here in this oven called Vegas. This video has convinced me to hit the road next year for sure😎 Oh and Thank You!

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

great video

[@johnparker2049]

Life has much more freedom outside of Cali.

[@geico1975]

I believe that too:) Especially after listening to Brian.

[@ramvanbobby3889]

John Parker I agree

[@nyquist75]

yeah, i was shocked that people actually obey walk/don't walk street signs

[@chevyvantravel9735]

don't vote for people who will take your freedom to be mobile and to enjoy GODS playground...

[@robinmontana6837]

Yes. Don't come to California! Thanks.

[@julianawright5635]

Love Rockaway Beach

[@TheSeira117]

I wanted to see if I had the moxie to van camp. So I went to the local park, which is down in a valley and heavily forested. There was a low lying fog and it was creepy. I kept thinking about the White Walkers from GOT's similar albino creeps from a cave movie. It was creeping me out. Anyhoo...so many questions! I love the drone shots and wonder how you deal with restrictions. The drone REALLY shows the topography and what (who!?) Is around you. Also, I love your little cooking shows! It's very homey.

[@JDJohnston9906753]

Beautiful part of the world! I visited there a few years back. FUN FACT...that big rock at 9:37 is Haystack Rock. It's the rock from the movie 'The Goonies' that the pirate ship sails out of at the end of the film!

[@joankaczmarek3250]

Nice to see my old "neck of the woods" coast of Washington/Oregon in your lovely videos. Thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, love California. Everyone in the Pacific NW would complain about Californians, hahaha. BTW So many people live in California mates because it's so beautiful. The entire West Coast is just plain fantastic.

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

What is the temp there? Wow, look at the size of that hotel!! Yes that beach is fantastic!! Oh wow that is gorgeous!! It is fantastic!? That water is so blue!! You must have a robot, yes? These pics are great!!

[@buckreynolds1795]

rock on AVM

[@philo2808]

once again great vid Brian, u might think about adding still shots to your vids to add a different angle, just a thought.Btw your filming is really lookin proish, is that a word.

Mmmmm... Mo's Clam Chowder and Shrimp sandwich!

[@tinagray2696]

I love the beach. I've lived on a muddy River that I won't swim in my whole life.

[@Radnally]

OR coast looks like a great way to escape summer heat.

[@KuttersVideos]

Brian you should buy a metal detector for when your staying next to the beach.

[@joeblow9631]

MrDoofski For chasing after dollars? Or because you enjoy the activity? Totally different things. To hell with living for a dollar.

[@KuttersVideos]

JOE Blow for the activity and the excitement of finding lost things

[@jmadsen6118]

The entire beach in Oregon is public...early visionaries wanted accessibility for all. I love my Oregon beaches and appreciate that I can use personal responsibility and common sense instead of being over-legislated. Welcome, Brian!

[@vantheman3857]

Great stuff again Brian, did you see any surf spots? If so please show...😎✌

[@AdventureVanMan]

+vanlife 123s I'm really not good at reading the surf, but I have heard its decent. 👍✌

[@vantheman3857]

AdventureVanMan haha, if you grew up in San Diego and you just said " read the surf " I'm sure your better off than most. Always admire your honesty ! I hear its good in summer and too nasty in winter. That's why I asked ☺ Be cool to Google a surf spot and put a little surfing in a video while your up there! THANKS for getting back. Just watched the q & a's looks like ya had some fun last night buddy.... You soldiered though the q & a's like a true champ!!! 🍻

[@thisspotrules3631]

Heard ya singing in your head " And the sign said... Long haired freaky people need not apply" haha that song is all SoCal...do this don't do that Thanks for sharing ✌

[@Endless_Skyway_Adventures]

ThisSpotRules! Funny I had the same thought! That song was by 'The Five Man Electrical Band" maybe 1974.

[@BlaneysChannel]

Who's in charge? Hard to be somewhere without signs directing you.What do you do and when can you do it?

[@bob_frazier]

So SO true! Just try pulling off around Big Sur like this - it's like we Oregonians leave the door open to so much along our coast but California has a sign for everything - pretty unwelcoming. Our state park beaches do have dog leash laws by the way.

[@Larry-herenow]

Sign ,sign everywhere a sign. Our age is showing !

[@MayhemRv]

ThisSpotRules! Who did that song? I remember it well from my youth.

[@chrisrandall7795]

I used to spend summers in that area. Great 4th july fireworks

[@nickwoo2]

I was at cannon beach just a couple weeks ago

[@jacquelinemunoz7272]

Thanks! For sharing with us (;

[@greengreen4476]

I live a little more than an hour from this area. He is not even scratching the surface of how many things there are to do and see on the Oregon Coast. They have a tourism guide (free)that has enough information to keep him in that area for a long time. Oregon is dog heaven, and is made for his travels.

[@TheSeira117]

The 60's had a song called "Signs". "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign! Do this, don't do that! Can't you read the sign?!" Even then people rebelled against restrictions.

[@billyemartin2975]

so beautiful

[@surratt95]

Main reason I moved out of Cali, they want to restrict everything. Rules against everything, no freedom.

[@thunderbird97]

same way here in IL, Bob you forgot tax the hell out of everything

[@BearUkulele]

There are many reasons people have been leaving California for decades, but the population here continues to increase despite all the negatives. Go figure.

[@freetrailer4poor]

Immigrants, people that get a good job, people that want out of the cold, and people that like city life with a lot of singles.

[@Runningfromtheherd]

Bob Surratt New York same thing. Most signs start off with a large NO

[@BearUkulele]

Exactly. There are clearly more people with reasons to move to California than there are who want to leave. Not every place suits everyone. Every place has positive and negative aspects. Even the nomadic van-life has cons alongside the pros. Be content wherever you are.

[@mariloh683]

firehydrants and parking: Before I came to the US I did not know that you are in for a ticket if you park close to" those yellow posts", Austin TX taught me that lesson; the rock formations in the sea at this particular Oregon beach: one looks like someone lost that "baseball cap"; Those people who always put signs up in order to have their peace of mind....I guess we all have a bad day......;-)))
