[@sewandembmom12]

One thing I like is that you don't have background music. I like just listening to the outdoors and you explaining what you see.

[@lavapix]

These questions about no cell service areas and getting lost. I'm old enough to remember hiking in these remote places long before mobile phones and a GPS. Always carry a paper map, compass and know how to use them.

[@jopo4920]

Ive been hiking for 30yrs with a compass, and paper map (TOPO.) No issues.

[@FreedomToRoam86]

what is this "paper map and compass".... LOL. That is how I learned over 40 years ago. But my InReach Mini GPS is way easier than triangulating off of hills that may or may not be what I think they are! And it works at night, too.

[@normaevett]

Yes. Learned that in Scouts! But scouting isn't cool anymore, is it?

[@forester057]

I agree. Everyone should have a backup. I would add Phone gps works even without cell service. The maps have to be downloaded prior to losing service however. Know which direction your vehicle is and have a plan to get out if your phone dies. Memorize the area well enough to get back to a road.

[@ruthiemarie7253]

Tristan you've found a delightful life partner, I pray many blessings continue for you both.

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

She's lovely! Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

[@SUVRVing]

Yes she is :) Thanks Carolena!

[@storeytwinb]

Thank you for letting us meet your precious wife! It’s sweet the way y’all look at each other with such love 💕 in your eyes while you talk. It’s wonderful that she sees your adventuring as part of who you are instead of something to compete with.

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, I hit the jackpot with her. She's great :) Thanks Marcelle!

[@mjcfsutton]

I agree ... what she said ☝🏽

[@Tygerlady99]

Oh, congratulations!! You two are so lovely together. I loved watching your interactions and, yes, she is perfect for you and she's beautiful and very sweet.

[@SUVRVing]

Yes she is :) She is everything that is good. Thanks for watching!

[@ImnotChuck.]

Cassie is beautiful and charming. You are indeed a lucky guy.

[@SUVRVing]

Yes I am :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@luisromanlegionaire]

@@SUVRVing Is there any Native American in her family. Maybe Cherokee?

[@SUVRVing]

No, she's half Filipino.

[@eddiewalker7252]

Thank God they are genuine to the bone and won't go Insta-glam Vanlife fake...although if they dabbled in overlander vanlife they would have 8ook subs for sure!

[@martinforrester8249]

I'll second that, you are a lucky guy. I was interested in your comment re the Anasazi. I'm an old timer Englishman who has travelled extensively throughout the four corners area. Both Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde, amongst other areas. I would concur with your suggestion that drought was probably the main reason they assimilated with other tribes, no longer able to exist in those areas. I also would suggest, over population might have also been a factor. Still fascinated by their existence however. I subscribed to your channel recently and enjoy your relaxed manner. Thankyou.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

You're living an awesome life, Tristan, both you and Cassie. I was fortunate being a military dependent living in other countries, especially Japan. The military paid for all of my travel abroad. Out of 23 years I spent 16 of them living in the UK, the European continent, and in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Turkey). I didn't attend linguistics school but learned different languages from evening classes and living with locals. In every country I took advantage of the camping and backpacking opportunities offered. I wish more of our young people could travel abroad and especially in third world countries. They would realize just how fortunate they are to live in the United States.

[@elleemann]

Your face completely changes when you are around your wife. You can clearly see the love and adoration on your face. It's very endearing.

[@pbodymathis]

This is how I stayed cool during hot summers camping on my bass boat. I carried a cotton bed sheet (single bed) and would soak it with drinking water to where it was damp, use it as a cover sheet and you will be shivering by morning. It works very good in W. Texas so I know it will work in the areas you are traveling!

[@livinglike_lisa7954]

Your wife is so adorable! I can see why you married her! Thank you for answering our questions and introducing your wife. Looking forward to future videos with her.

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, she's the best :) Thanks!

[@lynngelpi6839]

Your wife is lovely. I wish you the best. Happy travels.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Lynn!

[@teslah2997]

I REALLY LOVE your attitude! You are so real and honest....and grounded

[@allenennis8359]

Wow, what a fantastic video, Tristan! This is not only my new favorite video on your channel but maybe my favorite KZbin video. I've watched a ton of your videos but just now getting around to this one. You are one of the prime reasons why I took the plunge into nomadism - two years full-time traveling the west in my no build Honda Element. I feel like I know you a lot better now. Your wife is very charming and easy going like you. Good luck to you both. btw I started this lifestyle at 73, now I'm 75.

[@MomCat03]

Absolute soulmates....truly blessed. As are we for getting to share it with you...grateful, thx! It enriches my life seeing yours, and calms my spirit....allows the stress to melt away and make room for something good to come into my own world!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

You won the wife lottery! (so did I many years ago)

[@SUVRVing]

Lol yes I did!

[@dalekundtz4603]

Thank you for this great video. I wish you and Cassie a wonderful life together. The camping trips my wife and I took were great times together. Enjoy!

[@janedelaney7]

I admire your perspective on life and relationships. You complement one another immensely...a wonderful balance of respect and love. Best wishes for an adventurous and joyful life together.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Jane! :)

[@MomCat03]

Yes, totally agree!

[@captmaximus4224]

Cassie is awesome!!! Beautiful, smart and supports your hobbies and dreams. I’ve watched numerous videos with y’all and you support her just as much. Now if the rest of the ladies out there could catch on lol!!! Have fun you two!!!

[@Maddiehere89]

I love your wife!! She is so sweet. You can see and hear her love for you. I look forward to more videos with her and you exploring the world.

[@thecasualcitizen492]

What a great wife, Cassie. I am soo envious, or is that covetous? Beautiful and articulate, I love her. You two seem to be very good together. You make a great couple.

[@teslaslifeadventures67]

God bless you two. You are very blessed to have her.

[@Surfishy888]

Awe, so sweet. Congratulations you two!

[@barbarapadgett5538]

Doing what you like to do and not what others want to see has made you the success that you are. Some videos I fast forward or skip but I just can’t do that with yours. Your content is sooo good I can’t miss a blink. I sometimes go back and watch again. Lol

[@1234dvarela]

Thank you for sharing your interview with Cassie. Wonderful words for each other! ❤️

[@robertterrell3065]

It was great getting to meet your wife. I'm late to the party but, oh well. You two really seem meant for each other! It's a wonderful thing to see 😀 I wish you both a lifetime of wonderful hiking experiences, and all kinds of married experiences. Who knows what cool stuff life has in store? And I've found that even tough times can become fond memories when you look back on them many years later and realize how you helped each other through ...

[@jamesm4435]

She's amazing. Great to see such a happy couple.

[@christinaoklaohio7926]

You both are so darn wonderful I can see your love and being together. Thank you for sharing your life together. I am hoping and looking forward to seeing you both whenever you want to share. I wish you both a wonderful life. God Bless

[@SUVRVing]

Aw, thanks! She's pretty great, and we're really happy now that the dust has cleared post-wedding and we're settled into our new place. Thanks Chris Tina!

[@bathens4971]

Great video! Really enjoyed getting to know you better this way. Lots of good questions all around. Your wife is sweet, best wishes to you both for many happy years and travels together!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks! Yep, she's wonderful :)

[@wvbonbonqueen]

I love the honesty in your answers to the questions. Most people don't get the fact that what works for You may not work for others. We just found your channel, and subscribed too, very interesting, very laid-back and more to our liking so your channel is very refreshing and with lots of good scenery, no loud music, and none of that nonsense here. Glad we found you, will be looking at your older videos, and looking forward to more. Congratulation on the marriage!!! Even tho it was 2 yrs ago. lol Everyday is a good day, when you are sharing it with someone you love. jmho

[@Maddiehere89]

I am a loner too. I get excited about new places and experiences. I love to travel and am planning to start traveling in the next year. Your videos inspire me. Best of luck and love to you and your wife. And thank you for your excellent videos.

[@cia1204]

Wow! You're wife is precious! I enjoyed your interview with her so much. It's great to see two people that love each other and care for each other so much!

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, she's wonderful :) Thanks Marcia!

[@carlosnajera65]

I'm happy that you both are happy together.....what a great couple!

[@SUVRVing]

Aw thanks! ☺️

[@H.pylori]

How Cute! The best to both of you as you embark on a new journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks r g!

[@bruin4937]

You're a lovely young couple. Congratulations and wishing you two all the best.

[@adavell]

Congrats on having found the perfect companion on each other!! Keep feeling like that and giving yourselves room to pursue your individual needs, those moments of being apart is what holds you together! Great videos, great people :)

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks 😁

[@ediedaley3701]

You two are great together! She’s sweet, and you relax with her. I’m glad for you both.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Edie! She really is great :)

[@botero29love]

Its the first time I see this video and you guys are hilarious together lmao. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing such wonderful moments. She's beautiful.

[@debbiem6682]

OMGOSH, you two are SOOO cute together. What admiration you show for each other. Thank you for all the answers to the questions and for introducing (sharing) Cassie with us.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Debbie! :)

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Great insight, thanks for taking us all along. You continue to inspire me to get out and explore. I am still so new to all of this outdoorsy stuff but loving it. You know, you could have picked harder languages to learn... holy smokes.

[@SUVRVing]

Lol at least I've given Arabic a pass :) Thanks Galvain!

[@mattl6948]

I love that your videos are super chill and that you go to out of the way places.

[@65sheilakay]

Aw, your wife is so sweet. You two make such a good couple. I look forward to seeing more of your trips. Your videos are always so interesting and peaceful to me.

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, she's great :) Thanks for watching and commenting (and for your question)!

[@rainbowcanoe17]

great questions from everyone. your answer to “what about your videos do you like that would make you want to watch as a viewer” is exactly why i love your videos. chill, off the beaten path stuff. Cassie is beautiful and so sweet! you two are very cute together.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Ellie!

[@davidleigh443]

Hi Tristan, I am enjoying your channel. I like your vehicle tour interview style where you let the nomad describe their rig,etc. Also your travel videos are awesome. Now i have put Idaho and Montana on my bucket lists. Keep up the great work. Safe and happy travels to you.

[@sueg2658]

It's so obvious how much you love each other and are so compatible. Cassie, you are a real sweetheart. Great job on the video! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, she's wonderful :) Thanks Sue!

[@amyharris7337]

Just found your channel a few days ago and have been enjoying your videos. Cassie is beautiful and it is great to see how y'all interact with each other. Also, thanks for always putting coordinates where you boondock. So many other YTers don't do that so it is greatly appreciated!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching, Amy!

[@jgkgintx]

Certainly enjoyed the video, the Q/A was interesting /informative and answered some questions I had been wanting to ask, and meeting your wife was delightful. You seem very happy with each other and I think you both made a wise decision in joining your lives together. Happy trails to you both...

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks! She's great, and being married is fantastic :) Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@caziko48]

What a beautiful couple. The love you have for each other is jumping out of the video. ❤️ Acceptance of each others strengths and weaknesses and allowing each other to be who you really are is the key . I really enjoy watching your videos. They are so relaxing, no false pretences. These other hyped up videos of “Hi Guys, What’s Up?” Drive me crazy. Your videos feel like you are sitting in my lounge room having a chat. Looking forward to more videos 🙏😀

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for the kind words! She's the best 🙂 My style of videos isn't for everyone, but that's ok. It's good to know there are others like me out there!

[@betsyb1374]

I love that you guys are believers - just discovered your channel yesterday!

[@patsikora5169]

You two are such beautiful people.Your love shows for each other in your eyes when you talk.Thank you do much for sharing.!!!!!

[@jockoward8053]

The power box in the background (between you and your wife) is stunning and very beautiful... the gray tones shimmer like the rings of Saturn... its stealthy stark silence slightly disturbed by a low pitch oscillating hum suggesting great power within. That indeed is a gem. Keep it.

[@bineausmiami]

I have to say, what a beautiful personality your wife has. It seems like you guys are made for each other. Love the compassion and respect you two have. Wishing you two manny splendid unforgettable adventures together.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Sabine! :)

[@rod22lt]

You’re a relatable guy to me in many ways. Great vid and thanks!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching!

[@janiceconnett3192]

What a beautiful, sweet lady! Thank you for sharing her with us.

[@christinamarie3598]

So glad you did this....great questions...great info ✌️👍

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Christina Marie!

[@mark710909]

Very honest, good to see. wishing you both good luck for the future.

[@jenniferbraud5942]

You two guys are precious. I can tell by the way she looks at you that she is just crazy about you.. I just stumbled onto your videos & find this easy to watch. In the midst of planetary chaos, this calms the spirit. Thank you.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Jennifer, we appreciate it!

[@mycocoaone]

Awe! So happy for you two.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Donna!

[@tarnzkeenan5350]

Awww she’s lovely, you both make sense to be together 💕👍🏻

[@annieyahu676]

Thanks for Sharing. You two are a beautiful couple ❤ Stay humble and loving and you will always do well.

[@noragodley1270]

Glad to meet Cassie. Congratulations to you both! You are a lovely couple... I loved where you were hiking at the first part of the QA! Over the 4th of July I took my, first of many, long road trips from my home in Phoenix to the Utah/Idaho border visiting friends. Another first for me was dry camping near Kanab. I drive a CRV- which I built a bed frame for, otherwise the slant is steep inside. Aside from it being quite warm, 85 with a storm brewing, having a first experience in the desert was amazing. (I have already ordered a battery operated fan... for now it’ll be perfect!) You helped me with all that thru your videos. I can’t tell you how much I love being “along” on your journeys. I appreciate your calm, quiet, simple approach... I relate to your style 100%. Happy travels!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Nora! It sounds like you had a great trip. I hope you have many more in the future :)

[@kevindenny3607]

Thank you for including the publishing date

[@lisamirako1073]

You have an extremely harmonious charisma. How nice that you found each other. I am happy for you! Good luck for your future together! Greetings from Germany.

[@mrs.onyango6504]

I really like your candid honest opinions!

[@gigglinggypsy4636]

You guys are adorable!! And yes, Cassie is perfect!! Looking forward to y'alls adventuring together!! And thank you for all the great answers..

Thanks for watching! :)

[@bigbranch1]

Wow...what a great couple you make....love the videos.....God Bless!

[@NoProGoPronto]

🎊Congratulations to you both🎊. I love knowing there are two less lonely people in the world. All the best to you ❤️👫

[@SUVRVing]

Aw thanks! :)

[@barbhayes5613]

Thanks for sharing! Your wife is lovely and you seem like the perfect team for a life of adventure. Carry on!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Barb! :)

[@peaceoutvanlife]

1) I love the channel! I like that you venture off the beaten path, keep it simple and humble, and share your adventures 2) you and your wife are adorable! All the best to you both. 3) I made sure to watch the entire video before asking lol, but here's a question no one asked - what's your basic pack for a brief hike while you're out? I know you have water purification drops, your phone with Gaia, I'm assuming some protein bars or snacks, but any other key items you think you should always have on you when solo and in remote areas? Bear spray, first aid kit, etc?? Thx for all your input and suggestions! I'm retiring next week, finishing my van in August and heading west! Safe travels and keep the videos coming!

[@melissahankoff4034]

U2 are ABSOLUTELY LOVELY😍 God Bless U Both❣️

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Melissa :)

[@dgemini2]

The west is where it's at! So much to see. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Wanna.Wander]

Thank you for your answers... you’re a pretty interesting person. The West is the best! Hi Cassie! She’s a beauty! Aww, God bless your union... happy trails to you both❤️

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks so much! :)

[@joantharp8973]

Thanks for sharing your life with us . You too are such a good match. I'm happy for you.

[@norsefalconer]

I know this is an old post. But,👍👍 for Baja. In 2000, we went halfway down the west side, then up the east side, camping out of a 98 Mazda MPV All Sport 4 wheel/all-wheel drive, no low range and open diffs. It was an amazing trip. The best memory is seeing a fox running on the beach. 20yrs hence, it's still vivid in my mind.

[@cmmbsnyder55]

Love your videos! Went hiking & camping last summer in Jasper & Banff. Was fortunate to stand on a Glacier. Keep the videos coming!

[@teslah2997]

oh, yes!!! Iceland and New Zealand the two places I most want to travel to

[@nightwolf1592]

Lovely video Tristan, really enjoyed it. Mrs Tristan is beautiful and so full of fun. I hope you are both very happy and and have exciting adventures ahead of you. By the way, SUV RVing sticker going on the car tomorrow for the first trip out :-)

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks! And it's great to hear that the sticker is being put to good use :)

[@AhJodie]

You are doing very well, business, health, spiritual, love, I wish you many many years of this wonderful abundance to continue!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks so much!

[@alextriana6608]

I like your philosophy of doing what you want not what others want,Keep doing what you do .

[@user-cw5il8gq9z]

I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm really enjoying your adventurous spirit, your chill attitude towards life (that time your car slid into the ditch in Yosemite, you said you were in a bad mood but you were still smiling), and your enthusiasm for the beauty of nature and the cultures who came before us. I think I smile the whole time I'm watching one of your videos. I think Cassie is strong and independent in her own way. I love that she lets you be you and do what you love. I hope you are both as deeply in love with each other as you were when you made this video.

[@tinabeane]

Awwww you two are so cute!!!! :) What an amazing gift to travel when you were so young and live in other countries. Great Q & A and getting to know you a little better. Peru is on my list, maybe next year but I won't be climbing any mountains ... LOL!!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks! And yeah, there's lots of awesome non-mountain stuff in Peru too :)

[@arteson6093]

Did you ever go to Peru?

[@gavinmock1279]

Great vid. Lovely couple, only the best for the two of you!

[@tonycathyhickman2512]

My wife and I are 69yrs old and we’re not physically able to do the big hikes you do, and that’s what I enjoy most about your videos. You show us the places we’d like to see. Thank you & well done 👍👏👏

[@karenlongworth8428]

I just stumbled on your channel. Loved this one with your lovely wife. You are a little different around her. but that is a good thing. Enjoy your travels and your life. Make the most of being young and alive.
