CAMPING WITH COUGARS at BYU!

[@_krimzen_]

Oklahoma played @ BYU for the first time ever this season. Everyone was blown away by the kindness and generosity of their fans and students. I think they even give the away fans free ice cream during the game. Unique sports experience no doubt.

[@AcmeRacing]

I'm not a sports fan, but I'm a LOLOHO fan. These aren't so much about the games as the campus culture at each stop, and you still report on the camping accommodations. It's got to be a challenge to come up with new themes for content, and so far I'm enjoying this series.

[@Five0Music]

Thanks, LoLoHo! I think it’s awesome that they show how you can easily have an awesome day and night out without alcohol, bad language, and slutty attire. Every person has the right, in this country, to adopt their own standards. Hats off to those who don’t feel living down to the standards of the mass media is necessary or desirable. You don’t have to accept or adopt a bad idea. I’m no Mormon, but I can fully support the idea of living a decent life of service and dignity.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Thanks, that is kind of my perspective also. In these days of no standards whatsoever, I respect those communities who draw a line. Even if I might draw the line a little differently myself. That’s what America is all about. And I cannot deny that I have had nothing but positive experiences, and interactions with people from that faith. What they are doing is working, and they have my total respect.. I appreciate your watching this kind of video with an open mind. I really appreciate your watching and understanding.

[@JDubyafoto]

One of the things about members of the LDS is that with their preparedness they use those supplies to help take care of widows and their families until the widow remarries. There's no such thing as food insecurity among the LDS. They're extremely nice people too!

[@BeauBerry13]

Thank you for a positive video about the LDS Church. I'm no longer an active member of the Church, but the values of being self-sufficent and the strong ties of community within the church are a true testament of the LDS Church. I did serve a mission in Northern California and did go to Ricks, now BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, ID. happy travels and I'm glad that you enjoyed your time in Utah.

[@Skaters713]

Enjoy your college tour videos. The BYU was spot on, why the USA is a good country, respected diversity, everyone can find their place.

[@jessehayes486]

As a Utah native and a lifelong BYU fan, I was hoping you would make it Provo! Well done with the video as always. Gotta love that Lavell Edwards stadium experience, especially with some cougar tails.

[@dfausti66]

As a native of Provo and a BYU fan, I enjoyed your video presentation of the area and its people. We do our best to be competitive in sports and try to be as kind as possible to our guests. Thank you for your kindness! Ya'all come back now ya hear?

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Very interesting. Certainly some great values without any doubt. Not everyone shares the same values, but one thing we should all share is respect of others and their values. Looking forward to your next stop.... and as always, safe travels....

[@kristymichael]

Thanks, Shawn! I completely agree! 💗🤙

[@PhotoAlbert]

Another terrific video. Our daughter and son in law now live in Salt Lake City so we do get to visit Utah on occasion. I love it out there and now I'll be anxious to check out Provo too!

[@daveduncan2748]

Glad you enjoyed the visit to my alma mater. I escaped southern California a while back and moved my family to the Provo area and raised my kids here. It's been a great place to live. I've attended many BYU games, but haven't been for the past few years. Enjoyed the familiar scenes in this video.

[@thisoldbelair]

Long time subscriber here and also a BYU-Idaho alumni- I very much enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing!

[@mickster1780]

my 4th grade teacher was a Mormon. he probably left a bigger impression on me than any other schoolteacher I had. and it's funny because I remember him talking about the stored rations he had 🙂

[@TheDaubSquad]

THANK YOU for highlighting the bands at these colleges. These kids work so hard and rarely get a lot of attention, but are integral to the college football experience. AWESOME!

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jumpinjoe75]

You are spot on about BYU. My son went to Liberty University and he play football for Liberty. We drove our coach out to BYU and had a fantastic time. The stadium was one of the best we had ever played at and the the home team crowed was just like you said. They were very accommodating and extremely nice. I could live out there only problem its way to cold for us. Thank you.

[@Todd_S]

Wow, outstanding job on this video! You always tell such a great story. As a Latter-day Saint, I think you did an excellent job showcasing our school and faith. I grew up in northern Maine and served my church mission in Salt Lake City, Utah over two decades ago. I enjoyed it so much I moved back to Utah nearly eighteen years ago and settled in the suburbs of Salt Lake City to raise a family. I've never been to a BYU Cougars game in person, so perhaps I'll have to go in the future. Thank you again for stopping by our great state of Utah. LoLoHo!

[@judystreich7333]

Loved the bands scenery. Utah has so beautiful scenery.

[@jadynjc]

As a member of the band, thanks for good coverage! Always a pleasure when someone recognizes our hard work and dedication.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

wow, thanks! you guys were really awesome. We stayed for the entire performance after the game!

[@larrydraper4451]

This video series is great. I love the stories about each place you visit. This was one of my favorites due to learning about the BYU culture.

[@UtahPaul]

Oh how I miss being in Utah. Lived in Provo from 2013 to 2022. Loved going to Mirror Lake, Strawberry Reservoir, Driving through Provo Canyon. We moved back to Southern California. We got tired of the Snow. Plan on visiting Utah next year

[@gulfcoastbeemer]

Your current series of college travelogs offer unique and meaningful insights into each locale. Thank you for creating this series. You are truly skilled educators as much as you are skilled travelers.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Thanks, we have been trying to create some thing a little different here, and I don’t know if it will ever reach a big audience so to speak. But I really appreciate the positive feedback from people who are into this sort of content. I like to create travel content and I’m glad that others out there also enjoy the sort of thing. Thank you very much!

[@JCAJCA3]

I really like the football campus tours. They are my favorite ones you have ever done. My wife and I enjoyed them so much next fall we are going to Laramie (University of Wyoming), Vermillion (University of South Dakota), Brookings (South Dakota State) and Maybe Fargo for North Dakota State. Just bought a Travel Trailer got a HH membership and next fall away we shall go! Thank you for this series. Very inspirational.

[@kristymichael]

That’s awesome! Hope you guys have a wonderful trip!

[@NickyTballer]

As a Cal Berkeley grad and 6.0 enthusiast whose father is from small town Alabama. Berkeley will be quite a different campus experience from Provo-excited for your next video as always.

[@BluJnGrl]

Brian seems like a wonderful person and a testament to the values emphasized at BYU. And modesty is a dying value, today. It’s nice to see it in practice. The college football content has been enjoyable- are you two into baseball???

[@cbdane]

Enjoyed! I’ve spent a lot of time working in Utah for the last 10 years and always enjoyed the area and those in our work team at Hill Air Force Base who are LDS.

[@RamblinRoadies]

Thanks for sharing this Sean. We lived in Utah for 8 years. With both of us being raised in SoCal, it was a little bit of a culture shock. But we grew to love Utah and it's people. We had many great unforgettable experiences.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Thanks, our next video will be in California. Northern California, but yes, California culture is very different!

[@nadineriley2709]

Proof entertainment can also be educational. Enjoyable episode and these have also been just fascinating! Still getting our camping and pretty locale fix while getting to experience the really varied school/football locale cultures. Thank you!

[@wellsonwheels457]

Great video, thank you! I was born and grew up in SLC before moving to Texas in 1st grade. Spent every summer there growing up after we moved with G n P. My G pa taught at the University of Utah. Not LDS but many friends. Grandma lived right under Mount Olympus. I adore this beautiful valley. No coffee or coke or alcohol for my Mormon friends. Lots of big families. I love SLC 🥰☺️. My BFF had a hidden cellar full of canned goods. Also a HUGE back yard garden. Good to be prepared 😂

[@glennlewman4186]

Proud to be a BYU Cougar

[@rvcycling7102]

Great video this week. My wife and I love Don Joaquin’s. We try to eat there a few times a month.

[@dianadarrington479]

You camped about a mile from my home! Wish I’d have known you were here! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

[@MRHEAT20]

Sounds like a CLASSY place 🍻

[@kellybeckstead2894]

Thanks, Sean, for the great video. Thanks for using the full name of the Church in the video, most people who profile the Church and BYU do not. Glad you came away with a good experience. Greetings from Idaho Falls, Idaho.

[@kristymichael]

Hey Kelly! It’s good to hear from you. I hope you are well! Thanks again for all of your help. You rescued us in our hour of need! 💗

[@bryanmiller5584]

Well done! BYU is my team! I recently moved from Wyoming to AL. I actually spent a few days recently in Cullman. Long time subscriber.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Ha! We were in Cullman last week. They have a nice Christmas market going there now. Thanks for your kind comments and go cougars.

[@jimjessup3979]

Excellent coverage of the area and culture.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@humbledsparrows4687]

We live on 24 acres in East Texas, though we don't use the term prepper, we call ourselves resilient homesteaders. We grow a large garden, do pressure canning, dehydrating and freeze drying. Also we hunt and fish. Looking forward to what's next on your channel after football, maybe you can do a series on State Parks and things that are special in the communities near state parks. As much as we enjoy the National Parks and National Forests and even BLM, we often find them to crowded, un-kept or unappealing. Plus the restrictions on content makers filming is a direct violation of Free Speech. If you ever find yourselves in East Texas and need a place to rest, we have two RV sites on our property you're welcome to stay in.

[@swansodi]

There are parts of Utah that are just stunning, I would highly recommend visiting it...

[@maryhamilton2053]

Beautiful video Sean. I appreciate college and high school marching bands my siblings and I were always in there doing the March!! Clarinet 1st chair marching band. My brother actually became a marching band school teacher and retired doing so in the San Francisco area. I did not see much future in clarinet playing so became a nurse🤣👍🏼👌

[@stevenshircliff393]

Just another outstanding video from you guys. Learned so much from this video! My wife and I retiring soon and we are contemplating RV lifestyle.

[@swansodi]

I have actually been to a BYU football game in Provo... I will freely admit I was a supporting the opposing team...

[@titaniumhen]

LOL, funny headline!

[@ejs6010]

Another great football centered video. Your editing was superb, especially the end music with you driving up the freeway. Be safe!

[@MulligansBlog]

Okay title cracked me up 😂 great to see content from you two. We enjoy your videos and are learning from some of your shots for our channel. Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@jeffb9444]

Your College Football series this fall is just awesome! Hate to see the season end

[@TheBuddyandlilly]

Ohhhh how true it would not be the same without the BAND

[@alanjohnson2853]

Another great one, guys! Great videography and production, as usual, really enjoyed the human interest portion, explanation of the LDS influence on the school and student body. I've said it in other comments, but this series is so good, I really look forward to each episode! Thank you guys so much, Merry Christmas!

[@Aj-hp3yy]

Great video… Glad there’s some hope for our future!

[@Spinnaker617]

My Wife and I are from Kentucky but boy oh boy do we LOVE Utah! Brian's two year Elsalvador mission and BYU sportsmanship story was really interesting. Wow! Thanks for the Cullman Alabama beerless Oktoberfest backstory 😆 Seemore rode off into the sunset, and the band played on. Great video! 👍

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Thanks so much for watching! We’re trying to do something a little different with this travel series and I’m glad that some people are enjoying it I appreciate your positive comments more than you know. 🙏

[@kevinmcbride1866]

[@golfdrtool947]

I knew you were from Alabama and that’s were my father was from but I didn’t know you were from Cullman! My grandparents are buried there and I haven’t been back since her funeral 30 years ago. I’ve enjoyed your videos for years and some how feel like I have traveled the country with you guys. Thanks for the memories.

I'm behind but still watching! Thank you for another in this series.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Hey, thanks a lot for watching. Believe it or not, we have one more video in this series that will post this weekend.

I ran into some delays getting this last one done, to say the least, but I think it is a fun one.

Thanks! We actually have at least two more coming in this series. I would love to go to a bowl game also but I don’t know if we can afford it this year. 😂 anyway, thank you for the positive feedback.

[@everettwilliams956]

Wish I would have known you were going to be here. We only live about six miles from where you stayed. Your channel is the one that got me interested in KZbin many years ago. Would have loved to have bought you guys dinner and chatted for awhile. Love your channel. Maybe someday we'll meet up. Happy Trails

Very good.

Thanks!

They hate the Utah Utes up the road in Salt Lake City. Not a little but up there with Ohio State-Michigan hate. This is not a code violation for them haha. Vice versa for the Running Utes.

Have really enjoyed your college football series this yr....Hope to see it continue next yr hopefully...Cant wait for the next one in Berkeley Ca...Had a stretch where i went to the Cal games for 30 yrs....Am a tightwad hill veteran LOL... Hope you got to make it up there...Dont know what game you went to but if it was in Berkeley it wasnt the 126th annual Big Game against Stanford as that was in Palo Alto this yr...I have actually seen BYU against Cal in Berkeley...Berkeley is a trippy town, not like it used to be but still a little bit different...Wonder if Sean survived gloating over the Tides win against Kristy's War Eagles ??? Bet you didnt gloat long LOL !!! Stay safe, be well...

[@kristymichael]

Ha! Sean was a very gracious winner, but I went into the game very realistic about what the outcome would probably be! 🤣

[@akgobears]

@@kristymichael Y know , i didnt think about it but if this game you went to was early in the season, it could have been the Auburn game against Cal....Hmmmm, got me wondering now...

[@mikemichaels4315]

I've been out of the LDS Church for twenty years now. It was a twenty-year detour in my life that effects me to this day. Although she was encouraged to divorce me when I left Mormonism (let's call it for what it is and was for over 180 years), my wife did not. We spend several weeks in Utah every year. I enjoy it there because I understand the people and love the geography. Utah-12 is the most inspiring road in America. My wife now realizes her tribe is just as crazy and delusional as everyone else but it's her tribe. You should stop at the Mountain Meadows National Monument on your way headed back east and learn about the LDS elephant in the room. Listen to MormonStories podcast while you drive to learn things about LDS culture that the faithful will never admit. Really enjoying your college football tour episodes.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

I am a simple traveler and I report what I see and experience. Everyone who I’ve ever encountered who happened to be LDS has treated me with great consideration and respect. I choose to draw my own personal boundaries differently, but I have total respect for those who commit to a well reasoned system and achieve success. I feel the same about the Buddhist philosophies in Southeast Asia. If it works for you and your community, it works. 👍 Thank you for sharing your perspective.

[@USMC-fh9pk]

Thank you for all your great videos. Since you guys are avid BLM Campers, I was wondering if you were aware of legislation about "Natural Asset Company" being proposed by the NYSE? I fear if this is passed that camping on BLM land would be significantly impacted. Would you be willing to ask your subscribers to contact their legislators to deny this proposal? The forum for public response is of course during the holidays and the vote is supposed to take place on or around January 2nd.

[@kristymichael]

I honestly haven't hear anything about it! Can you tell me where I can read reputable info about it? Thanks!

[@USMC-fh9pk]

@@kristymichael "the buying and selling of undefined “rights” to certain private and public lands, including to foreign nations and noncitizens, to terminate and prevent all economic activity on such properties." To my understanding, a company could buy rights to a portion of BLM land and restrict all access...

[@dougallen8466]

Sorry avbout the jet noise, I used to make that noise!

[@piumartians]

LOLOHO FTW! Internet broken with that photo and title. Everyone can blame Sean. Engaging, Thoughtful content, well written and edited as always. I would have thought you'd head to Standord instead of Cal Berkeley. Stanford has RV parking adjacent to their stadium! Berkeley??? I can never find a decent place to park in the city of Berkeley, ever! Since you're out this way, please come to the coast and enjoy New Brighton State Park, perched on a bluff overlooking Monterey Bay. Your "ask" at the end of this video compelled me to make a donation. Great work you two!

[@piumartians]

Whaaaa? Photo changed? OK, what prompted this catastrophe?

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Haha we have a software tool that will automatically test 2 different thumbnails to see which one works best. When it learns which thumbnail gets a better response it chooses that one. Which one did you prefer? The stadium shot or the football shot?

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Thanks much for your support! We went to Berkeley mainly because that week it seemed to have the best game offering with affordable ticket prices (always a plus!). You are correct about parking -- we purchased a place for our truck beforehand and did not even try the RV. Next time we will go for Stanford! Stay tuned for the Cal video, it should be entertaining! 😆

[@piumartians]

Do you really have to ask, Sean? You mean the thumbnail of your better half, partially covered up with that football? Lucky dog. Hope you do make it out to Santa Cruz County. Per Less Junk more Journey, that strip of coastline was their favorite part of their long cross country trip in 22. And update us on how the crystal ceramic coat is holding out. Thanks for all you're doing.

[@ellap1313]

I’m not a sport person really but I would much rather be somewhere without alcohol and swearing.

[@hoytoy100]

On the other hand, seems like a big brother putting limits on your freedoms. Adults should have the choice to consume beverages of their choice, like you do as soon as you left your home town. For all the griping you do about restrictions in California, it does not follow that these restrictions are OK by you. Isn’t California just a larger community making their own rules? Good for me but not for thee?

[@kristymichael]

I think the difference is that in this area, it’s a choice that is left up to the individual. You can buy alcohol all around Provo. It’s readily available. Just not on campus at BYU. The school actually provides a separate tailgate lot for visitors who want to bring and consume alcohol. So, even though BYU doesn’t want alcohol at their events, they provide a space for visitors who do. I highly doubt any of their opponents provide an alcohol and foul language free zone for them when they visit. It seems pretty tolerant to me.

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Stay tuned -- our next video will be a celebration of California! I actually love California... most of my jokes have been intended to poke fun at lawyers. But seriously, I get where you are coming from. Overall my personal preferences are more libertarian, but travel has allowed me to experience extremes on both sides. From my "dry" hometown to places like Amsterdam where psychotropic drugs are available with your morning coffee. The successful approach for most people & cultures seems to be somewhere in the middle. I do respect people having some sort of fundamental honor code. I've visited many large cities (Tokyo, Bangkok) where there is no fear of crime/theft whatsoever - mainly because the people observe an honor code and if crime happens it is punished. Where there is no honor code and crime is not punished, it kinda ruins the place. I removed some jokes from this video because they might offend some people, but you are probably not going to get mugged in Provo... and I didn't notice the retail stores locking products behind glass enclosures. 😬

[@SkepticalRaptor]

As a University of Utah alumnus, I am personally offended that you would go to BYU-Provo and mix with the Zoobs. Go Utes. 🤣 And BYU-Provo is a marginal academic and athletic school far inferior to the University of Utah.
