backcountry camping in DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST | vanlife utah

[@LucasCatania17]

By far my most beautiful campsite with Luna to date! It wasn’t the warmest weekend, but still a great time with the van. Thanks for watching :)

[@moniquetempleton604]

Getting that dose of nature high. I get it - thank you for your beautiful videos which make me want to be there right now.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you monique! so stoked you enjoy them.

[@evancortens]

Another beautiful video! Some awesome drone shots, and what a great campsite. Looking forward to the next adventure!

It really is! Medicine

[@amandavokoun178]

Lucas! Sorry, I'm so behind on watching your videos. Love to see you are exploring the small corners of these beautiful areas. I agree that the peace of solitude is second to none and nothing like being surrounded in nature to help process your own thoughts. Looks like you found the most perfect camp site. Loved the ending. Intense gratitude with inspiration. Ditto to that!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you Amanda! It’s definitely great to explore some random areas in beautiful parts of the country. Even though the weather wasn’t the best, it was still fun to just hang out!

Great video Lucas. I can't wait to get out there!

Sometimes we just need the holistic healing that nature can provide. I know that feeling you describe that nature gives you. I was pretty lost for the last few years and stumbling onto your channel has reminded me of what I want my life to look like. You inspired me to re-engage in life and inspired my husband and I to do something we have been contemplating, but just couldn’t pull the trigger on. We bought a van that we are converting and cannot wait to start getting back out there where we feel alive. Thank you for that inspiration. It has been a long time coming for me.

[@LucasCatania17]

that is so amazing. thank you for taking the time to write such an incredible message. im so glad that my channel and videos impacted you.you are so right about the holistic healing of nature. it really is miraculous. i wish you guys the best of luck on your journey. i am lost as well so we are all one in the same. thank you.

[@newenglandskiing17]

great vid! That was super pretty!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank you Liam! Appreciate you watching dude!

[@jerkmcnostril154]

Just letting you know this video is just what I needed. I have also been "searching" and trying to find what my wife and I's next steps in life are going to be as far as moving, careers, etc. You keep searching as well and keep your head up man. Thanks for the video

[@LucasCatania17]

im so glad man. im stoked it resonated with you and im even more stoked theres people here that are in the same spot. life is beautiful but we all need time to figure out what we want to get out of it. the only thing we can do is keep moving forward. appreciate your continued support man.

Super underrated channel, keep it up!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks tucker! i appreciate that man!

[@petermeglis]

Hell yeah Luna is a champ. I really liked your voiceover thoughts this episode, I totally relate to just being out there alone in nature. It's not the same with crowds of people. What a gorgeous place!

[@LucasCatania17]

peter! thank you man! i so appreciate your continued support on every video. it truly means a lot to me man.

[@jiljin1]

Great adventure, beautiful pictures

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you jacek! appreciate you watching.

[@jpickle4982]

Beautiful scenery, thanks for taking us along. After a busy work week it is nice to get out in nature and unwind and clear your head. Always love your drone shots, looking forward to seeing if you got a really beautiful night sky stars video.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you julie! really appreciate your support on the channel. unfortunately i actually fell asleep waiting for it to get a bit darker and never captured the night sky :D

[@utahisawesomeofficial]

Great video! Beautiful area there.

[@LucasCatania17]

It sure is!

[@fredrunzer9264]

Damn this was such a beautiful episode Lucas! There’s not much that’s more satisfying than when you find a quiet place like that and have it to yourself to just relax and unwind. I’m hoping to do some of that myself this summer!

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks fred! glad you thought it was beautiful too! and thats awesome man. im really hoping you can enjoy a few weekends if not more this summer. hope all is well dude!

[@mazdis9724]

I was at Bryce this same weekend. Crazy busy. Waited a half hour for a parking spot, pulled in, snapped a few photos and bailed. Had a nice cruise through Zion afterwards but man, these parks are way too nutty on weekends in-season.

[@LucasCatania17]

Seriously man. It can be pretty crazy at times but can’t let it deter you from visiting. It usually always works out one way or the other. Stoked you made it through Zion.

[@zonith]

Love the content! Would love to see you cook and eat meals! - came here from DualEx channel love the van upgrade. Be well!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you!! and okay!! i can certainly show more of that - it just seems so boring to watch haha

[@jaclynwek6615]

great video!

[@LucasCatania17]

Thank u jaclyn!!

[@barbaramurphy8474]

Hey Lucas, It is so beautiful there and the music makes it even more beautiful! You gotta build a fire and roast some hotdogs or marshmallows over the fire LOL!!! As for Luna, she made it in and she will make it out of there!!!

[@LucasCatania17]

barbara! it is so gorgeous truly. hard to believe all this diversity exists here in utah. and i thought about making a fire but it was so windy at first and i didnt have any firewood. that would have made this day just about perfect though! and yup safe to say we made it back out :)

[@peternagy8363]

A little late but I love the video! The sprinter is actually surprisingly good off road. We have gone several times from broadmoor to cripple creek and we never had any issues...looking to get a 4x4 sprinter now after how capable the 2wd is!

[@LucasCatania17]

it really is man! i had no idea what to expect but honestly pleasantly surprised! i wonder how much more beneficial the 4x4 is compared to the 2wd!

[@peternagy8363]

@@LucasCatania17 It has a much higher ride height so that should help significantly with bumpier roads!

Can you tell me exactly where you were in the park (as in what area of the park)? I’m gonna be there in June.

[@LucasCatania17]

This is in the national forest, not the park

@@LucasCatania17, right. My bad. I meant where in the forest where you at?

@@LucasCatania17, I got that you were by the Kings Creek Campground & by the East Fork Sevier River, but I was trying to pinpoint exactly where you parked near the river.
