Big South Fork Tennessee - VanLife on the Road 12/2020

[@mirandamom1346]

Whoo! That glimpse over the edge made my stomach lurch even through video!

[@robertrhode6104]

Thanks Kelly & Brian for getting me off my ass and out in nature, just remember I am not a kid anymore. I love the fact that you guys get out and explore and not just drive although I like the drive also. Thanks again and stay safe! Bob your friend in Pennsylvania.🙏🏻🇺🇸😘

[@jbid9999]

I always feel at peace after watching your videos thank you

[@ericdrews5050]

I bet that camp fire felt good. You are still the best camper cook

[@Thelifeofwiley]

I could just picture the splash in my mind as you crossed that log, lol. Nice hike guys and those burgers looked awesome

[@DavidWischnewski]

A hike is always better when shared. Another great video. 👍👍✌

[@annramer2826]

As you were crossing the creek on the log my closed captioning was saying applause 👏🏻😂😂😂 very appropriate! Great video as always Brian !

[@lcinflorida8728]

Glad you did that hike for me!! I don't like heights... Thank you and peace!

[@chapter4travels]

Just an FYI, those are rhododendron and mountain laurel instead of magnolia.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Thanks..I knew magnolia wasn't correct..rhododendron or laurel sounds right.

[@posteroonie]

With the rhododendron having the longer leaf, and preferring the wetter areas near streams, if I recall. A few videos back AVM and Kelly were looking at the giant leaves of a wild magnolia, dropped leaves not live ones.

[@mcjoedobird]

We have tunnels made out of Rhododendron's in North Carolina (Boone Fork Trail). They have large white blooms that add a lot to your hike.

[@MaryBeth1965]

I think the shrubs with the long leaves are Rhododendron. Beautiful scenery,thanks for sharing. :-)

[@David-lk4uu]

Mountain Laurels

[@MaryBeth1965]

I see both types of greenery. Mountain Laurels have the shorter leaves.

[@peterrabbitroberts4469]

Both of you all are right, Laurals have smaller leaves.

[@marthareyes4024]

Absolutely beautiful. One can only imagine how the Pioneers, and Indians felt, seeing this beautiful country.

[@richardmorris7063]

25.00$ for sleeping for the night makes you appreciate that last spot for 5$ w/ an outdoor toilet.

[@cmlackey1]

It's so awesome to see my home area thru someone else's eyes. I live here and just forget what a beautiful place it is here in the Big Southfork.

[@hemisuperzee1287]

In a nut shell, whats your typical winter like there? Im a short morning drive from lk Superior, beautiful wilderness like this, but "real" up-north winters are getting old. After the Halloween snow it warmed up. Still, it will prob be -20 to -30, always happens here after new year(at least im not further in -40 territory lol). I know Memphis, that far south is not for me. Not a city boy . Is this cooler in the summer than Memphis (from elevation)? Picky aren't I ?,,ha ha..

[@cmlackey1]

We have mild winters, It gets cold and we will have a few snowfalls usually just a few inches at a time. In the 20 years I lived here we seen a six inch snowfall once. Had one heck of a ice storm a few years back.

[@faithcompton5934]

The crackling of that fire! You could put it a repetitive loop and I could listen to it all morning. Awesome vid as always! 🌞

[@wesallen4228]

That was a good hike with a great cookout at the end. Nice.

[@shellyscott6447]

Awesome place and Beautiful weather... it's a win win!! :)

[@posteroonie]

There's a special kind of beauty when the sun filters through an Eastern woods. And the rocks! Wow.

[@stahpit1971]

she has a great smile and her van is way better than yours :) Thanks for the videos and safe travels.

[@wanderingbox7971]

Splendid views Thanks for taking us along with you

[@gabriellechilton5902]

Oh my goodness. Thank you again. I love the colors of the landscape. So much texture......beautiful

[@marciecaliforniagirl7104]

Brian, Beautiful scenery,thanks for sharing

[@KpexSmith]

Great video. One of your better videos. Thank you kindly appreciate it.👍🇺🇸😊

[@BungaEBiker]

You always find the coolest places to hike.

[@jcrabbphoto2294]

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephenolaughlin6595]

You really beat the heat & the bugs hiking in that weather. Great to see you enjoying some colder weather. Burgers looked mighty fine.👍🚐

[@NoProGoPronto]

The beautiful feel and sound of that warm crackling fire was so comforting as I look at the blustering frigid blizzard happening outside my New York City window 🌬❄️😱. LOL!

[@SL_BA]

We live in Tennessee and have not done this hike yet. We did do the Honey Creek Loop trail at BSF a couple of years ago. It was amazing! We need to get back and explore more 😃 Thanks for taking us along.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Enjoy watching your adventures. 2020 proved to be a challenging year for everyone! I appreciate that you still continue to share adventures without complaining about covid-19. Traveling may not be as it once was..just continue to find new quite locations to share. Be safe 😷

[@RicG.]

Well put Patsy. Brian and Kelly, and only a few other channels that I watch have continued to travel and share great adventures with positive attitudes despite the hurdles. On the other hand, many other nomads sit around and complain they can't really do anything due to the pandemic. They've been using it as an excuse to create drama, be lazy, and e-beg.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

@@RicG. you got my point Ric. Bex is the other consistent good videos. Are you referring to Kelly Doyle?

[@RicG.]

@@patsykluting-lucas3804 No - don't watch Kelly or Bex.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

@@RicG. oh you probably meant as a couple you watch Brian and Kelly. Yes..some couples I don't watch..since I travel solo that is what I prefer to watch. Kelly adds to video without a distraction. She has an incredible smile.

[@RicG.]

@@patsykluting-lucas3804 No, most of the channels I watch are single nomads. Those are really the ones I was referring to. 😃

[@Gayb898]

Y'all are a beautiful couple I'm so happy y'all share the adventure, crazy hike I'd be wore out like no other after that.

[@michele2855]

Great hike, beautiful day! That fire was soothing

[@elizabeth2654]

Cool hike!! Thanks for taking us along!

[@mohdfiruzmohdfiruz2501]

Great adventure trails and great dinners! It's would be nice with a bottle of wine! Cheers bro! Enjoy your dinner with Kelly! Stay safe!

[@PaigeLovesPumpkins]

I could listen to the crackle of that fire for hours.

[@alokrathore6706]

Thank you for the nice video . Take care . Looking forward to your next video.

[@nickjacques6087]

That is what it is all about... Off season on days with great weather is epic. Another nice video. Missed the typical intro to the video. Thank you.

[@kimmiranda5619]

Even in the winter, beautiful view! Brian thank you for sharing y'alls journey! Peace and love!

[@DeeHermanson]

Love your adventures! Stay safe my friend👍

[@auctionwheels]

Looks like I missed another video but better late than never. Thanks for the video

[@ZSharkPH]

Man, I bet the dirt biking out there is epic.. Beautiful area !!!

[@robchenoweth5314]

Savage Gulf is one of Tennessee's most beautiful wilderness areas, offering over 50 miles of trails and views of some of the area's most pristine waterfalls.

[@SL_BA]

We live so close to South Cumberland! It is my favorite Tennessee State Park because there is so much wilderness. All of waterfalls are amazing!

[@duane4972]

Hi Brian, Merry Christmas to you and Kelly and all our nomad friends, including the friends we haven't met yet !! Safe travels, looking forward to catching up with y'all sometime this winter !!

[@AdventureVanMan]

[@aprilz6540]

Those mushrooms at the end of the log crossing were oyster mushrooms - very edible! What a beautiful day on the trail...thanks for sharing!!

[@anitasimmons3599]

The room under the bridge is access to grease the bearings. It would be a noisy damp home. I really enjoyed the hike, thank you for taking us along. Safe travels.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Lol, thanks! It was a joke about trolls. 🤣✌🏼

[@anitasimmons3599]

@@AdventureVanMan, I caught the joke, and enjoyed those comments. As a nerd, and having spent a career in heavy construction management and inspection I just put that out there for those who might want to know. 😷😊

Hi and thanks for showing the area , / the TVA ( Tenn Valley Authority ) has Dams - Lakes and some very good trout fishing in the streams & rivers below the Dams and good Bass in the Lakes. There are many places to camp all through the state

Lovely hike.

[@tomsharpei]

Nice hiking trail. What a view. The burger at the end of the trail looked delicious!

[@bgarcia4291]

Like your early morning videos to get the day started. Happy holidays Brian and Kelly.

[@davidborden9698]

Just a short drive from my home to the Big South Fork and Picket State Park. We are blessed with so many areas for hiking, camping and boating right here in Tennessee. State Parks all over the state. My family knows my final hike will be to a secret spot somewhere in the Big South Fork. As a descendant of the Cherokee, no better place for a spirit to roam.

[@patrickjobling8676]

Excellent adventure mr brians n mizz Kelly's ....😍😎😁pip pips and carryon pilgrims

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Epic hike. Thank you Brian & Kelly. That look over the edge at the summit was a liitle unnerving. Amazing seeing ya'll cross the creek on that log.

[@buckijunki8167]

I found myself holding my breathe as you walked across that log. Glad that you made it! lol. Another great vid!

[@marketinginmass]

Your hikes are just the kind of exercise I need! I would totally top it off with a burger too!

[@johndoody1492]

Hi Brian and Kelly, have been watching your travels unfold over these last months and wanted to take a moment to make an observation. The journey you are on is so purposeful and satisfying. I wish more of us would focus on the tranquility and beauty that surrounds us and find that quiet place within. I hope the days ahead are good to you and keep you well. Peace
