[@youngillee718]

Love watching these vids at night before bed...totally calming and relaxing. New drinking game: take a drink when he says "Away we go"!

[@jimjn3852]

Thanks for show your KZbin viewers the upper mid west, we love it here. Stay safe and well.

[@gwengallen9157]

My husband and I really enjoy all your videos. From the cooking you do, to all the travel and your wonderful shots of landscape, and close ups of flowers and such-it’s something we look forward to!

[@travelamma2779]

Brian, you never fail to WOW with your videos. Things I love: Your appreciation of the beauty of nature. Your positive attitude. The small picture of you commenting when showing scenery. How you seem to effortlessly cook an amazing meal! I'm sure there are more, but that's just from this video. Safe travels.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you!

[@susanorr7535]

The UP is enchanted, magical. The pasties are awesome. Love the history. Driving across the Macinaw bridge is sad, leaving the UP and all behind. Yet there's always the new adventure in the LM.

[@geri9839]

Snow look Beautiful! Have a safe journey! Btw, that pasties look delicious..I like it with no gravy too! Chicken marsala look good .👍

[@kimmiranda5619]

Enjoyed your share Brian! Enjoy the adventure! Peace!

[@fredachase5193]

The colors of those leaves is really glorious!!! Thank you for another great video and taking us along!!!!

[@michele2855]

That pastie looked good!! 👍🏽 Be safe especially this week. Stay out of cities after Tuesday

[@d.c.bushcraft.4546]

Great video. Keep on inspiring. Can't wait for the next one!

[@curtisgrindahl446]

Thanks for the update on your plans... Good to know what you're up to. Follow your dreams Brian...

[@Berniimae]

You must of been a chef in another life..all look so good. ☺️

[@dianediane1245]

Thanks for taking us along! I enjoyed the light snow and fall colors!❄✨🍁

[@carmendarlinseattle]

That little pressure cooker is darling. I always add fat to my rice, along with a little salt and pepper. Some diced onion is delicious as well! Love the calm presentation in your videos. Lake Michigan is so powerful. Such waves!

[@gaylarice6124]

Thanks for giving me a tour of States I’ve never been in. Love the fall colors, who knew dying leaves could be so beautiful. I’ve left the states for good and retired to the eternal spring of Lake Chapala, MX. But love seeing the snow from your trip.

[@bjclassic1950]

Bbrrrrr its a tad chilly up there. You are flying the wrong way😂😂 Go South young man👍 Man you always fix the most appealing dishes and easy ones too! Safe travels and enjoy the journey!🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸💙

[@gailjohnson6670]

Your meals look delicious and make me hungry. Thank you for the road trip and video. Have a blessed day.

[@John-ve3gg]

Enjoying all your videos. I like the way that you show the little towns and all the different things and the cooking and everything LOL thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@nomadicsporadic3836]

Awesome man, good to see you out enjoying freedom. Oh I have to stop watching your videos when im hungry lol 🍽🍻 🍛 looks yummy

[@LaCatLady]

Dinner looks delicious. TFS.

[@jschille6710]

Love to watch the food portion. You make it look so delicious!☺️

[@allisonsherman7231]

Really like all the agriculture elements. That meal looks awesome! Took a mental note of the components👍

[@car2213]

I live in Grand Rapids, it’s a great area! It’s fun seeing you so close by, been on the bridge many times.

[@yolandawray7153]

Such beautiful seeing all the colorful leaves on the trees continue the journey

[@aerofpv2109]

Brian ... you were meant to be a free bird. Every time you leave your camp site you seem to be full of joy looking forward to the next leg of you journey.

[@robertrhode6104]

Great to see you again. Bob

[@Tee-jay-365]

Out of all the camping & rv videos I have watched, your food looks the best hands down.

[@jorgejimenez8947]

As always your cooking is to die for. Thanks for sharing.

[@faithcompton5934]

Ah, I needed this. Just the simple beauty of nature and the peaceful vibe of the music. Your videos just soothe the soul. Can't wait for you to meet up with Kelly. 💕✌️

[@chrisdiamondtravels7209]

Time for Florida,the high was only 72 today,,,80s next week,,hope to see you soon,theres good camping in the Ocala National Forest.

[@margaretterrebonne9596]

Beautiful place. I love the "I really don't know where I'm going". I would love to just go like that.

[@bevtrue6937]

Pretty colored leaves. Lovely videos. Glad you will be able to see Kelly a bit then she will catch up later. Maybe you guys should try to set up the same jobs? It is so great to hang with someone you enjoy being with. Alone is really too lonely.

[@craftyokie176]

Brian, we learned a ton from this video! First though, the leaves were beautiful as was the snow! We never knew gages could freeze up like that! Loved watching you chef it up. Had no clue about dehydrated veggies! I will be getting some of those. The sauce too! Glad you will be seeing Kelly! Sending hugs. Stay warm and safe.

[@susan319]

I am new to your channel and really love your cooking segments. Your travels, filming and editing our absolute pleasure to watch

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

I have to admit Brian when I lived in Cali, Texas I did not miss the snow/freezing cold weather. That’s my main motivation to “get on the road” and “the adventure continues” ☮️❤️bro

[@SimpleeShay]

You’re the only van lifer who’s shared spots with us so far! (From what I’ve found) That makes me so happy! :)

[@MoutainGuyAdventures]

Awesome fall colors. Excellent video as always. I’ve been watching your videos for sometime now. I look forward to your videos each week and your adventures. Stay safe.

[@ringomayhem]

I crossed that bridge on my motorcycle. I was on the grates...what a trip to look down through it and see the water. i love going up to mackinaw city.

[@LandElevated]

Your story gives inspiration to those who are planning to go RV living. We would love to share this with our customers who bought vacant land from us and planning to live away from the city. They will surely get awesome ideas from your videos.

[@TravelingThru222]

Another great video, Cool camp spot.

[@rickdejean4649]

I enjoyed the snow. Thanks 😌

[@pamflowers8364]

Fun video for those of us who once lived in the U.P. of Michigan. I miss all those colors on the leaves.

[@lindareeves83]

You have a good soul. Always have a positive outlook on life. Enjoy your adventure.

[@breakfreerv6671]

My wife and I met Kelly at the campground while getting our Covid tests. Nice lady! 😀

[@AdventureVanMan]

She is a sweet gal! 😁

[@christines7]

What was your results?

[@raymaroney8355]

Van was looking so nice and clean from all the rain. I knew it wouldn't last long. Shortly after a hard packed dirt road with big mud puddles. Peace

[@warrenweisfus709]

Breezed through the U.P. Way too fast. Should plan a visit earlier in the fall. The Keweenaw peninsula north of Houghton is magnifico.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Not retired yet🤣

[@kristiejacobs4854]

And the Jam Pot Bakery!

[@davidbrickey5925]

You sure do whip up some fine food. Enjoy your time in Michigan. Be safe while you’re there. ☕️☕️👍🍀

[@elisiadriver4592]

RECOVERING FROM SURGERY.. I needed this ride thank you mijito💓 SAFE TRAVEL'S,ONWARD BOUND ✌

[@AdventureVanMan]

Hope you have a quick recovery! ✌🏼

[@TimAZ]

surgery, me too, three in a row. six more weeks and then I'll be able to motor around a bit. in rehab enjoying your videos please keep them coming.

[@cuorips]

Nice to see you enjoying great food on this Monday morning ! So much beauty out there !

[@RicG.]

Had never heard of a food called a "pastie" - had to look it up. Where I come from a "pastie" is something completely different............LOL. Fun video as always Brian.

[@originalsixx]

I had the same thought...lol

[@carolyntolliver1146]

It's all about how "Pastie" is pronounced. We made that mistake in a small shop along SR2 years ago.

[@AdventureVanMan]

🤣🤣🤣

[@LuckyDawgProductions]

Love pasties! My grandfather was born in Cornwall and emigrated to the U.S. when he was 19. We grew up in Ohio eating pasties and sausage rolls. Michigan is beautiful in the fall. I enjoyed your drive, especially seeing the mighty Mac. Your dinner looked really good. Thanks for the great video. ~Sue

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

As always, thank you!

[@monicalifornia_]

I'm not much of a cook and I learn so much from your cooking. Just added all of those ingredients to my ecart. 👍 Thanks 😊

[@IceMistEclipse]

Michigan love! Ludington Michigan here!

[@marjiecleveland]

I lived in SW Michigan for 22 years so I've had quite a few authentic pasties and have made them as well. I'm definitely a no gravy pastie person too!

[@marketinginmass]

That chicken dish looked mighty tasty! Safe travels!

[@notanomad9320]

The UP is awesome. My daughter spent 4 years at NMU in Marquette because she wanted to be on the xc ski team. Got her teaching degree there and came back to the Twin cities but she still misses all the good times up there. You gotta love snow to live up there. Take care!

[@jmora61]

OMG I am geeking out!!!! I grew up in Escanaba! Dobber’s pasties! This is fun to watch! My sister lives blocks from the park. I learned to swim there. Awesome 😎

[@eagleteam6]

Nice video, good length. Happy trails. I always enjoy your videos. 😷✌

[@lindabarker7142]

I love camping in Michigan. My favorite is The Straits state park. Love pasties, no gravy. A little ketchup is good. The Mighty Mac is always a thrill to drive across. Mini pressure cooker! Dude! good video.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you

[@davider3568]

Greetings from Riga, Latvia and thank you for posting this.

[@predators_posse1747]

Looking good my friend. Eating well, and living the life. My Man! Take care til next time. 🙏✌️

[@hemisuperzee1287]

I think those grates inside lanes on the Mac bridge are so the snow and ice drop thru. Less head on collisions. Its crazy not having a barrier there.

[@journeyswithlittletpage1669]

Many good times kayaking on those Michigan rivers in the fall! I'm sure you'll be back!

[@robertrisk93]

Hi Brian, I am a 60 year old, semi-retired ophtalmologist from Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. I just found your channel a very few days ago, and immediately suscribed to it. Your video style brings peace, and I love it. I am a geography nut, and I noticed that when crossing MacKinac (not Mackinaw) bridge at 8:18 you said that lake Michigan was one big lake. I believe that lake Michigan was on your right side (west) of the bridge, that spans the main strait of Mackinac. On the left side (east) of the bridge is lake Huron. Mackinaw city was indeed at the end of your bridge crossing, and I loved how peaceful it seemed.

[@HandymanMark]

Just the Gourmet cooking alone makes me want to get out into the wild. Thank you for another awesome video

[@jimmytrapp]

still here following you after all these years...keep up the videos coming Brian. Safe Journey my friend

[@candacemeifert-polk7383]

Yummy on the food! Always enjoy seeing what you will make.

[@youknow12341000]

As a lifelong KY boy you NEED to go to The Red River Gorge.... it’s an absolutely beautiful place and after watching your videos faithfully for the past 3-4 years I know you will fall in love with it. Also, if it’s open go to Miguel’s pizza there. Super good, fresh pizza!

[@wesallen4228]

Nice. The beauty of snow and later the fall colors was awesome. You could cook for me anytime.

[@DIYTechnician]

Not only are videos and content great but you have some cool music and editing going on. That takes a lot of time to do. Love your channel and your videos man. Wishing you safe travels out there.

[@jules6499]

My sister would cry when we were young driving on those grates

[@deetrvl4life875]

Great Channel! Vanlife, travel and cooking show, all in one! ;)

[@nancylagoyda5337]

You eat so well. Love watching you cook. Safe travels.

[@pastorjustin4181]

I need a good relaxing video. Thanks your it. 😳😀😀😀😊😎😎

[@michaelraine6879]

Hi Brian out here in Australia we have tomato sauce with our pasties , nice to see you tucking in there mate,enjoy

[@MacgyverSharon]

Beautiful colors. Every time you cook, I’m adding to my grocery list😂. Thanks Brian ☮️❤️🕉️

[@chaunitawoodson4667]

Aww so close to WVa. Prettiest state in the union. It’s cold here so you may not want to check out our state forest. They are beautiful. Safe travels!!

[@michaelkloeckner6353]

So good to see you traveling in my home state. Thanks for the Van Life Tips. I hope Cindy and I will be Snow Birds in Winter 2022

[@dona62851]

I used to live up there. I remember the sights and mostly the smells! In the summer you can even see the northern lights!

[@banjojoeanddanielle]

We really recommend seeing the natural arches at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. It's beautiful. That Pasty looks good man!

[@theweekenddrz519]

You went from a Yooper to a Troll when you crossed the bridge 😁

[@johnettew3957]

Scenery is beautiful as usual and your cooking is super. Hope to catch sight of you in SC

[@kodeywhitewolf4056]

Yup snow is beautiful but bbrrr LOL Nice video Yup cooking a good hot meal makes your day on the road nicer Just take your time traveling and enjoy

[@Onemattressatatime]

Stay positive brother, too many cloudy days for me

[@happyhermit2022]

Good looking pastie and the chicken smelled really good ...😁👍

[@marksr8784]

Yummy the meal looks great 👍 Cooking in a Van....amazing

[@dbentley2195]

Hello from tx. Ya we surprise ourself sometime when we just dig thur and throw it together make a good meal. Besafe out there.❤👍

[@70scatgirl]

Yum! Another good lookin recipe to try! Your Pad Thai was a hit with my family. Can’t wait to try this one now 😋. Loved the beautiful colored fall leaves 🍁

[@lynseygurl]

Hey, you need to make a on the road cookbook. Meals look awesome.

[@paulhunter546]

Hey Brian..those lakes can get pretty rough..it's amazing to see ! That pastie looked awesome and that chicken masala looked delicious 👍

[@tjake490]

That Tikka Masala dish was screaming for a piece of buttered naan bread! I'm going to look for those sauces in my stores Brian, and I really enjoy watching all of your travels.

[@coachcj9668]

Daniel Boone National Forrest is pretty great! I live in KY and go there quite often. Red River Gorge is beautiful as well. Worth a peak if you get a chance. Take care and stay safe out there on the road.

[@bonniebriggs6925]

We love pasties too and always stop by Mackinaw Pastie and Cookie Co. in Mackinaw City when traveling through that area. Don't forget the fudge!! Of the Great Lakes, Lake MI is my favorite. Enjoy your journey!

[@MaryBeth1965]

Wayne National Forest has year round beautiful scenery. Enjoy! 🍂🍁

[@LostOnLandAgain]

You blow my mind with the good meals you make in that van. Stay warm!!

[@Captain-Max]

I'm definitely a gravy with the pasty guy, but it's been a long time since eating one for sure. I used to make them and freeze them to keep a supply on hand. Great food! 😋👍

[@pauloh3591]

Gravy nation! Lol. I'd eat it with mayo or ketch up.

[@aucoinroland9072]

I'm 63 and a tractor trailer driver and I never seen gauges freeze up . Stop working because of a burned fuse yes but not freeze over. Way to go Brian

[@conniebunke613]

I don't like driving the grates on the Mackinaw Bridge either. The regular state parks are now closed for camping, the state forest campgrounds might still be open. I live in a sugar beet factory town in the Thumb of MI. :)

[@randyodell1265]

Another great video,Thank you sir. Your videos make my day!!
