Have you guys ever camped out at Jean Dry lakes before??

[@PhyllisGarcia-cf7fz]

The Pioneer Saloon is a cool place, good food too! Like your new added feature....the sink. Just seems like a lot more work to keeping it clean, viruses the 5 gallon water jug and spout. To each his own I guess? I feel for you, with the hot and spicy 🔥 ramen 🍜 you guys ate 🥵 been there done that! Now your breakfast 🍳 on the other hand....well that looked good and probably tasted delicious! 😋 As usual you made me hungry. 😆 Very good, chef Kaden!! 👍 So when is your Colorado trip coming up? Where and what's on your itinerary? As always, happy trails to you and your family! ✌️

[@Kadenventures]

Very true! The sink requires a bit more work to keep it clean up vs our old setup of just the 5 Gal and collapsible bucket. The ramen was for sure spicy lol but I really liked the flavor! We are back from CO now and the first video of this trip comes out this Sunday so stay tuned :) We go from Vegas > Cortez > Telluride > Ridgeway > Ouray > Silverton > Durango and Pagosa Springs! Thanks for watching Phyllis!

[@PhyllisGarcia-cf7fz]

@@Kadenventures Very cool 😎 you made it back home safely! Can't wait to see where you guys have been! Stay cool, cuz you're now back home where it's hot!! 🥵 😆

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Interesting video. I have a telescope that I inherited from my dad. It's been sitting in my garage for 15 years, until I finally got it out and learned to set it up recently. This looks like it might be a good place to take the telescope for a viewing session away from the lights of Las Vegas.

[@Kadenventures]

I actually started looking at telescopes after this trip bec I really wish we had one out here! lol this would be a good place near town to see the stars u do get some light from town but for how accessible this place is and how close it’s not that bad your still surrounded by desert 👌🏽

[@swyoung69]

One thing about Jean...alot of it gets everywhere and comes home with you. Been planning a camp out there for a while. Always go for meteor showers and beers. Oh and pro tip for the spam can, stab the bottom when you flip it over there will be no vacuum and the spam will fall out easy.

[@Kadenventures]

For sure man! I had to clean my shoes, spray the truck off and most of our gear after this trip lol that sand gets everywhere! I'm really wanting to buy a telescope after this trip lol the star gazing is great out there! Thanks for the Spam can suggestion! My uncle showed me that a longggg time ago and i just forget about it, i'm going to do that next time though, Cheers man!

[@puffdc]

Buldak is known for their spicyness, Denmark recently banned Buldak because it was too hot haha

[@Kadenventures]

lol! I just heard about that a few days ago! Crazy, its not THAT spicy lol Thanks for watching!

[@ethanjames8614]

If you’re heading out to Colorado you should come to Crested Butte! Most beautiful/best camping you’ll ever have! Look it up!

[@Kadenventures]

Ive heard of the area! We stuck to the southern end of CO going from Cortez - Telluride - ridgeway then back down toward ouray Silverton Durango etc.

[@tim.muangkeo]

Dude born and raised in Alaska too!

[@Kadenventures]

Nice!! Where you from?

[@junsensano8179]

Thanks for another great video brother. Let me know when your free for another kayak trip. Striper season is upon us.

[@archstanton3636]

Keep doing what you are doing, love coming along for the ride.

[@Kadenventures]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it, Thanks for watching!

[@robertscranton8293]

You gotta get dual snorkels. They are the latest rage in Bavaria I hear.

[@Kadenventures]

If I had the money I totally would! lol I got a few other upgrades to do first before looking into snorkels. Thanks for watching!

[@vegasrider2246]

That ramen packaging is deceiving. At first glance it looks like a kids treat. My wife and I will go to the other lake bed on the other side of the mountains. Eldorado canyon, it’s a 15 minute drive for us and spend the weekend with the dogs for a quick camping staycation. You definitely cook up some good food. That breakfast was enough for a group of four to six. Left overs for later. lol. Can’t wait for the Colorado videos.

[@Kadenventures]

Thats awesome! i've driven around the Eldorado mountains before, great area. Good food at camp is the best part of camping :) We defintiely chowed down on the leftovers the next day! lol the first part of the Colorado trip is coming out this weekend! Stay tuned, thanks for watching!

[@chrisdc1689]

broooo those stars and that frikkin moon! Would love to have my pvs-31's right there.

[@Kadenventures]

So wild! We’ve never seen the moon rise like this before so awesome to see!

[@grizzledgranny4600]

Oooh! Pioneer Saloon! I love going there.

[@Kadenventures]

Definitely a fun place to visit! Thanks for watching!

[@Spectre-ni3rz]

Ganda😊😊

[@Kadenventures]

Salamat!!

[@HN-oq3gf]

you guys eat well on your trips! makes me so hungry!!!

[@Kadenventures]

Best part of camping is the food! Thanks for watching!

[@DavesCampingAdventures]

you're definitely the fried rice king!

[@Kadenventures]

You already know! Haha Thanks for watching Dave!

[@godsbackcountryoverland]

Nice video. I’ve been thinking about doing a trip and video myself in the Nevada area. It’s nice to see some trips that have already been done there. Looks like a cool area God bless.👍🏽

[@Kadenventures]

There is a ton of dispersed camping in the area! If wait until it cools off to do a trip but it’s a great area 👌🏽 I’ve pretty much camped 1-4 hours around vegas check the channel out if u want to see more options around the area, cheers!

[@bryanhauer]

Cool night timelapse 👍🏻 When are you headed to Colorado? I'll likely be out there second week of July. Hope all is well!!

[@Kadenventures]

Man! we just left CO after a 10 day trip out there! Great way to escape the heat lol Hopfully we can get a trip together sometime when your in the area next and hopefully its not 100 degrees out lol Thanks for watching Bryan!

[@vegasjay3624]

You drinking that bud light Platinum again? 😅 Really cool place out there. You guys were there when it was quiet. Usually there are all kinds of SxS's, Atv's, dirtbikes, and maniacs who rent muscle cars and take them out on the dry lake. I camped out there a couple of years ago in September. In the afternoon it went from "dry lake" to "lake" all sorts of motor homes got stuck out there. Never thought about going out there for a full moon rise, really good idea!

[@Kadenventures]

I was actually surprised that we were one of a few campers out there ! Haha I expected it to be a lot more people, I can definitely see even a light rainfall turning this place into a lake, that lake bed sand got everywhere lol we got lucky with that full moon rise! Really cool to see, thanks for watching Jay! 🤙🏽

[@vegasjay3624]

@@Kadenventures Was a great idea to go out there on a full moon. I've gotta try it

[@StrictlyPlinking]

Recently subbed to your channel. Enjoying your content and cooking. I’m more of a weekenderlander vs overlander bc I don’t have the funds for the fancy equipment. Question… do you pack anything for camp security? Handgun? Shotgun? I definitely pack when I go weekenderlanding.

[@AWheeler45]

Do you think you will try to upgrade your tent to the V2Pro or are you happy with the current setup? Also, please be careful moving desert tortoises If they are scared they urinate and then they die of dehydration

[@Kadenventures]

Right now I’ll probably stick to what I have but if GFC offered me a free upgrade then I’d take it lol And yes we did carefully move him off the road he didn’t ruínate or anything. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏽

[@120484dc]

a bro what song is that you had in the back drop playing in the beginning of this video ?

[@Kadenventures]

Its called Heat Stroke by Timothy Infinite! Its a song I got off Epidemic sound

[@Pennychaser1]

Definitelyy will check it out. BTW do you have info on your round grille thingy? Brand? Where to buy? Nvm I see it

[@Kadenventures]

Tembo Tusk Skottle! Its great for fried rice and pasta type dishes👌 Thanks for watching!

[@RemoteTrooper]

I live close to Jean, isn't it pretty hot sleeping in the tent? Like still 100° at night?

[@Kadenventures]

We filmed this video a few weeks ago before the hot HOT weather, i think the low was 60/70 at night, when the sunset the weather was really nice

[@RemoteTrooper]

@Kadenventures Ahhh ok 👍

[@joshuacabjuan4708]

Where did you get that jiffy popcorn

[@Kadenventures]

I think we got it from Walmart or Vonns?
