You don’t need booze to make enjoyable videos. We watch them because of you! 💕

[@CrazyQuady]

Love that!

[@ntxn9336]

I was thinking this very thing while watching the video. CQ's got such a solid following now, he could put up just about anything and most of us would enjoy just seein what he's up to. Good for him. He's earned it. Hard work and dedication to his channel and his viewers/fans.

[@RosrShafer]

I am glad you're trying to eat and drink healthy. Love when your videos pop up. Take care of you.

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@Adfolkart]

I’m 1 year sober because of my health and never thought I could do it but it’s actually been the best things to ever happen to me. My NA drink rotation is hop splash by Sierra Nevada. Spring in a bottle rose wine at Whole Foods. Most Non alcoholic wines taste like watered down versions of the real thing but spring in a bottle actually tastes like alcohol. Heineken zero, Athletic IPA, Sam Adams Just the Haze is delicious but higher in calories than the others. NA blue moon and Guinness both taste watered down and are disappointing. NA corona hits the spot too. Most mock tails are too sugary for me but I can’t wait to see you do more NA tastings on the channel. Cheer’s

[@dayrue4696]

Same here! Lagunitas IPNA is my go to NA beer. I like Gruvi dry Secco for a NA wine. Those are my favorites!! Cheers to health!

[@Lcg503]

Good to see a new video up. Take care of your health it's PRICELESS. NA beer like Heineken is good.

[@kathynichols6602]

Thanks for the info. I did not know they had a selection of NA drinks. I will look for the Sierra Nevada one.

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for the tips, I'll look for those!

[@aaronb7658]

CQ what up Big Dawg!!! Glad to see you doing good keep taking care of yourself brother! I’m proud of you

[@CrazyQuady]

I appreciate it! 🙌

[@Roadking-285B]

Nothing better than coming home from work and, BAMMM, a Quady video! Let’s gooooooo!

[@uuuultra]

this person gets it

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

I’m so proud of for sticking to your health and what you need to do so you can stay healthy I know it’s hard I been there but it all worth it my friend Just look how good you look ❣️

[@luluwan5212]

Slowing down, taking care of yourself, hitting the middle w/o extremes: that's the keys to recovering from heart stuff. Great video as usual. Love this channel; it makes me feel peaceful.

[@ntxn9336]

So peaceful. I wonder if Quady realizes how many people he's actually helped who can't get out and do this stuff but would absolutely love to. He's lowered the blood pressure and heart rates of hundreds of thousands and probably saved, and extended, a number of lives. Thanks, CQ!

[@BanjiReacts]

I'm a simple guy. I see Quady uploaded, I click.

Facts

[@sleepervega71hill28]

Me too. I like seeing the sights and the cooking. Not to mention thoroughly enjoy your time.

[@sleepervega71hill28]

Hello Quade. I like the simple light meals too. I use to eat a whole bag of either Doritos or sour cream and onion/w dip. And watching Shock Theater/w Wolf Man Jack. I'm 50...

[@uuuultra]

simple jack

[@harveyhagar]

This made my week...van camping with brother Mike ❤

[@CrazyQuady]

Yeahhhh Buddy!

[@lisabarnes2477]

We are proud of you for taking care of your health more. It’s hard in this world but you are doing great ❤

[@shanecurphey1011]

Those cows were cool. Looked like more pets than snacks. They seemed extra friendly to those people. Long horns, but not long horns and looked like a super fluffy version!

[@Allnightexplor]

Mike, glad to see you out there again. Know that coming back from a heart attack isn't easy and we are here support you! Maybe you can plan a trip around a Nebraska football game. That would be cool!

[@jkim412]

Positive Comment!!!

[@CrazyQuady]

I could probably go see one of the games, it's been a few years for me!

[@glendonjones187]

Right on man! Do whatever you need to do to keep the vid’s coming for the next 30 years or so, we’re all along for the ride👍

[@sandracrawford2594]

Me too. I've been watching crazy now. For 3 years. Entertainment is good. Since I don't get to travel it gives me a chance to see all these different places.

[@denesehilger2203]

Great to hear I hope you stay healthy. We don’t want you to die either.

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks Denise!

[@jaxripper251]

Are you serious? 2 beers a month won't kill him. If anything alcohol thins your blood and makes you relax

[@denesehilger2203]

No it doesn’t what the hell are you talking about?

[@jasonmoss-qk8oh]

@@jaxripper251 don't ever give any advice again lmao

[@loriecorona8316]

Nice to see the new video. I hope you are feeling well. Tell Mrs. Quady hello.

[@sharibrown2655]

Ah van camping, always looks fun. Really awesome to see you. Take care and travel safe 🏕️🏕️👋👋

[@mattblank4402]

It's crazy how just 3 months ago you where sat up in the hospital you are doing great work keep it up.

[@cherylp365]

It’s nice to see a healthy Quady! Always enjoy your videos!

[@karengladys2011]

Love and missed seeing your videos Mike! Every time I see you uploaded a video I’m right on it! Stay healthy Mike and you look great!❤

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks! 🙌

[@Rdallday]

one hour video drop !! what a treat. Stoked for more videos Mike!

[@joshking7100]

Great video, can't wait for the next!

[@dbentley2195]

I love your simplicity. That's the way I live. I also car camp and love it. Enjoy your videos man!

[@TheCripmona]

A trip out to the edge of life can sometimes be the best thing for us in the long run; I had to go on that trip back in August 1988, and in reflection, it was literally the best thing that ever happened to me.

[@Anne-x6iShotz]

Watching ~ you’re here. Yea! So glad to see you. It means everything that you are doing good. I love popcorn 🍿. Now I want some. Always when the cupboard is bare. You make me laugh. Hot tuna cake. This was so good. I am so happy that you are doing better. You take care of yourself and do the right things. Awesome guy.

[@CrazyQuady]

No kidding, I should've brought some with me for the video too!

[@scamphound1892]

Quady visiting roadside attractions so we don’t have to. 😂

[@marcomcdowell8861]

I stopped drinking because of a comment made by a person I knew casually. Something to the effect of, "This is the first time I've talked to you without a cup or bottle in your hand". I was a weekend drinker, not even a binge drinker, just social. But it kind of took me aback that someone would perceive me in that way. I stopped. I didn't even enjoy the taste, but cutting myself off completely led to some small health improvement. I don't have a thing against drinking alcohol, I just know I felt cleaner physically. Now spice, yeah I overindulged. Led to me developing GIRD. It's terrible when it hits, especially when I can avoid it by not eating certain things hahahaha. Lord, it's horrible when it triggers though. There were times when I thought it was a heart attack. Take it easy with the spiciness.

[@929cbr_rr]

I like these longer format vids. An hour is a good length for camping videos.

[@CrazyQuady]

Noted!

[@rogertemple7193]

The popcorn ball was very big from outside the window and the spicy fried fish cakes were awesome, take care and have a great weekend Thanks Quady.👍🇺🇲

[@CrazyQuady]

have a great weekend!

[@mjball44verzal57]

Another great video Quady. That Chevy Van is super cool and relaxing. I think that was a real good buy buddy. It was nice to see Iowa and the popcorn museum. They have so many delicious flavors of popcorn. Maybe there will be some thunderstorms before the fall season is over. God Bless and great jobs monster 😁

[@jeffmoore695]

Good to see you. Quady.

[@929cbr_rr]

Chevy van ! Great to see you again out and about. Popcorn ball looked fun.

[@shaundamcrae3525]

Proud of your weight lose and proud your not drinking and I hope your doing good with not smoking! Keep going!!!

[@mchappycamper7645]

Yup, living and learning is what it’s all about. Nearly 66 years old now, and still love to learn. Don’t do as I do, do what I say, keep making great videos.

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hey Mike Always Enjoy Your Videos !!

[@tracker5849]

A small sprinkle of bread crumbs or flour pressed into top of patty helps it hold together and makes it more crispy!!

[@tkdsis18]

My brother just moved across the country and stopped at the Iowa 80 truck stop and I went wait.... Quady went there! And by stopped I mean the trailer he was pulling's axle was tearing apart and he got to experience the service station they have there, among other things. Thanks for the video! Proud of the health kick, keep at it!

[@maineman337]

Not to tempt you and the funnier part is I don’t drink alcohol but once a year maybe twice and it’s only ever 1 beer but the spindrift alcohol tastes exactly the same as the one drinking. Spindrift is so amazing. I celebrated 2 years clean from heroin and cocaine on July 18th 2017 in front of over 200 people at a recovery meeting and my dad passed way the next morning from drinking too much vodka. Alcohol induced cardiomyopathy. 😢😢 I’m still clean😊

[@uuuultra]

wow

[@cherylvann6571]

I’m so glad you are changing to strengthen your ticker. I’ve been on the same journey, you might save someone’s life by example. I’m not sure if that muscle car was a chevelle or a nova but I loved that it was dressed out in 80’s style. My high school parking lot was full of those beautiful beasts lol

[@dannyfrog]

A Quady video in the Shaggin' Wagon! Cheers! 🍻

[@CrazyQuady]

🍻

[@thedrixperspective]

Glad to see you happy and healthy buddy. I don't normally comment but stoked to see you taking care of yourself, we certainly want you to continue being able to do what you enjoy.

[@j.c.ins.c.362]

Good to see you!!! Thanks for the videos. It's always a good day to wake up and enjoy an adventure with you and a cup of coffee 👊

[@wendyhain4853]

Hi . hope all is well ? Boy this video made my month oh how I miss your videos. Can’t wait for more. 🤗

[@CrazyQuady]

I'm feeling good! thanks for dropping by!

[@bradykrizanic1947]

Hey brother I hope to see you camping in some nice storms, those are my favorite!!! Also so glad you’re feeling better brother 🙏🏻

[@ScottGarrett-w7o]

Good to see you camping and exploring Crazy. Good 🎶 music! Big Scotty enjoying retirement!Beer time buddy!

[@darntootin6423]

The engine turning over, the sounds of using the directionals, and tape deck speakers, heck yeah!!. Reminds me of back in the days. Haha. Cheers and good health. (In the same boat)❤❤

[@CrazyQuady]

There is definitely something special about older vehicles! Cheers to your health!

[@moogle.]

Good to see you back out there doing your thing, Mike. Godspeed

[@tbuddy3005]

Nice little trip along the Racoon River.

[@carrievornkahl6442]

My husband had liver transplant in 2006. He had quit drinking a few years earlier. It took me a bit longer till I no longer drank It was definitely weird to get to that point. He kept telling me to drink if I wanted to. After seeing what all he went through it ended up being no big deal to indulge any more. I think ive had a few glasses of wine this year. Now it just gives me a headache. Sux getting older. But I do know Ill live longer. Anyways yelling you this so that you know your not alone. Happy to see you making wiser choices. We all still luv ya!!

[@KiwiGirl1111]

Cheers! Don’t care it’s not beer or smokes… just happy you are looking great and healthy! 🎉❤

[@shanecurphey1011]

In 1914 I would assume everything was dirt roads. Iowa is weird like that. I lived near Iowa until about high school. Then helped on my grandparents farm until my grandfather moved of the far. I amazed at how many dirt and gravel roads still exist there. Probably the majority are still gravel from a post from an old Iowa neighbor the other day. Her parents still live there. Such a peaceful place though. I was from the south west corner. Maybe a 100 people in our town. Could be closer to 50 now. Not sure. Love your content!

[@pattijocallen5050]

Hey, my dad used to collect barbed wire in the 60s... there is a museum in , I believe, McLean, TX. He wrote and illustrated a barbed wire manual back in those days called " Little Joe's Antique Barbed Wire Manual and a copy is in the museum... fun memories!

[@NicksWeather]

Good trip that popcorn ball was cool. Too bad you couldn't access none of that stuff but, maybe next time. Glad you liked the chips. That was a good looking dinner. Great spot. See you next time.

[@TheBeardedSauce]

Chef Quady! Love the cakes and the popcorn ball!

[@kylenettinga3510]

I've been studying in mixology awhile ago as a way to cope with my depression. I have created a few mocktails for my daughters. They love them, that could be a good thing. Easy to make and taste good and still healthy for you my brother. As always, be safe and God bless brother

[@dustinholland4002]

Sha blam, Quady's back. I'm glad to see you doing you, and taking care of yourself.

[@ntxn9336]

Sha blam! That's trademark Quady.

[@QuietResilience]

Great looking G20 Van. I have one myself and enjoy the room it has.

[@Mountaintarheel]

Glad to see you are out in the van back camping.

[@marymaisch4225]

That is my all time favorite..pineapple Spindrift. The blood orange is also great.

[@josephspicer7555]

That tang is coming from the Sandwich Pal....it's the BOMB!!!!

[@jmt8706official]

It's great mustard.

[@kevinvaughn3715]

Classic! A large ball and tasty fish cakes. One was enough, you are thoughtful to include both.

[@joycedellinger2528]

I always enjoy your videos and you look very healthy! Love the van and how it's set up inside. I'm at an age where tent camping is too hard for me and a camper van would be perfect. The giant popcorn ball was interesting and too bad you couldn't go inside the buildings. The old bridge even with graffiti was cool!

[@sandracrawford2594]

Good evening I just watched a video of 3 years ago eating steak. I strolled back up and I said oh he's got one now so here I am I'm tuned in🎉

[@CrazyQuady]

🙌

[@cosmecasas9342]

I check everyday for a Crazy Quady video. When there is not one I feel bummed. When I see one I feel preety damn good. Quady that was a cool video. Keep eating healthy and lay off the sauce. Godbless and take cate my friend.

[@uuuultra]

bless you

[@toadz8113]

Oh Yeah .. This is the spot. Good vibes with the personal pavilion ☺👌

[@lorifeil895]

I always love your videos and I'm so glad you're still around to make them! Keep taking good care of yourself. Your food looked delicious 😋 😊

[@cjmedia1725]

Glad you’re back brother. Health comes first. Keep doin what you need to do👊🏼

[@dbentley2195]

That spider was headed up to get his breakfast he caught 😂

[@Emily-ow7pk]

I have to admit, if I saw Quady driving down the street in a white van banging his head to loud music and he offered me a beer if I got in the van, I would wouldn't hesitate even if it's cheap stuff.

[@Darren-q4i]

Hey, it's quady Thursday!! Awesome 😎💯👍. Nice to watch my #1 KZbinr. Keep rigging on 🍻

[@CrazyQuady]

🍻

[@ntxn9336]

You look a lot healthier man. That's great. Non-alc brew came about in the early 90's, I believe, but in the last decade or so, the non-alc brew options have exploded. I can't believe how many there are now. Lots of Craft varieties as well. Maybe try a few of those when you get a hankerin for some brews. Love me some water these days though. Nothing is more satisfying when hot and thirsty.

[@jeepstuff4004]

Dinner looked great

[@CrazyQuady]

Thank you, it was tasty! 😋

[@victoriaclanton2517]

I absolutely love the van. Glad you're doing good.

Your silly burning your mouth I love cooking, I can’t count how many times I do the same thing lol good times you always make my day quads!

[@travisortin6785]

[@CrazyQuady]

That sounds so bad 🤣🤣🤣

[@ritawilson8762]

Looking good and doing well. Proud of you, CQ.

[@janetdennis-oj7jr]

Yum! Looks like a tasty camp meal!

Nice cozy video. Great to see the van, a good hobo meal and you looking healthy. Hope to see more videos as it gets colder but most important keep taking care of yourself bud

[@JoanneTyler]

Love seeing your ok man? God bless always ❤😊

[@flash21502]

Truthfully, I don't think the alcohol is much of a factor in your videos. Your laid back style, and approach to the places you visit are what drew me to your channel. Keep up the great work!

Hello there happy to see you back love watching you

[@ginny691]

Hell yeah Crazy Quady video!! Popcorn ball was neat. Bridge was pretty cool. Dinner looked really good. Glad to see you are looking out for your health. I'd like to try a coffee press. I really like coffee, and I like it good and strong no cream or sugar. Nothing better than sitting outside in the morning with a good ol cup of coffee.

[@CrazyQuady]

Glad you enjoyed the vid! French presses are great, they do make the coffee a little bit stronger though!

[@rescuehoundemtd]

I don’t drink either but I like watching you enjoy them. But I fully support you not drinking. Good to see you!

[@roxannesmith-tz6zr]

I was surprised to run across this video, we live in Sac City. We enjoyed the video looking forward to more.
