[@JanesDough855]

What a beautiful place to camp. You can't put a price on peace and quiet.

[@MissContraryGirl]

I don't know what I like more....watching you do laundry, cleaning and cooking...or seeing the waterfalls and mountains. They are both equally lovely. Thank you for sharing!

[@denphawilloughby4977]

I love your videos. You’re so peaceful and informative and beautiful. I never want them to end. Enjoy and be safe. God bless you guys.

[@juliahanson7499]

I'll never be able to visit this area myself, but you two took me along on your adventure. Thanks!

[@sj6728]

FANTASTIC SPOT!!! I had so much fun!!!!! Thank you. The statue was awesome. So grateful to you both!!! God bless. God's speed!

[@c.ranger4748]

This is so enjoyable to watch. Suggestion for your toolbox to cut out rattling: after putting everything in, add a piece of pillow foam ( like used inside pillows) on top and curled around it all, then latch door--should cushion out noise. Thanks for sharing.

[@philbo7770]

The pillow foam sounds like a great idea. Or an old blanket which could be used when you want to sit on the ground or large rock or wrap around you when it's chilly out.

[@keithl6249]

Cool camping spot. Free and not too many people around.Glad you are getting to use your new adventure truck!

[@elizabethreid9448]

This is great. This is Great. Can't say it enough. Oh and just stopping a moment to share things like the sculpture of the Bear and eagles...most people keep driving. Not Bill and Elizabeth. Sharing the beauty of this world is so uplifting. But... one problem..now I want Bacon! Lol

[@tammymorgan8160]

Beautiful , I was having a terribly stressful morning I then I had my coffee with my Jesus and thought to see if you had posted yet so I watched and you guys I have to say Jesus worked through you guys for being the hands and feet of Jesus . ❤ Thank you

[@NaomiC336]

Montrose is such a beautiful area. We met our AZ kids there about 30 years ago at a B&B. We became dear friends of the owners of the home. Stayed in touch with them until they passed away. Again, love the memories this trip is giving me. We are currently in Eastern Colo visiting the friend we shared all of these adventures with.

Beautiful place. In my younger days I would love to go use my mountain bike on that trail. I loved finding terrains to ride. What a beautiful place to take a break at.

[@peggybachler5952]

I’m from Arizona and currently live in AZ and how you guys love that view, I adore the view of “green” lol

Years ago we had a camper, and had many wonderful fun memories traveling. You bring it all back! We never got out West, so it’s nice to follow you, and join you on your awesome adventures! Thank you so much! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

[@cheriemartinheartofthehome]

Becoming a widow at 50 I too faced the 2008 crisis. Only by the Grace of God was I able to survive. Buried my Mother, my husband and then 2 adult children. God is good and I used my heartbreak to encourage others . Thank you for being such an encouragement. Doing LIVE television for 18 years I was able to survive what I truly thought would end my life. Loss of loved ones and starting over with 10k when I too had to do short sale of my dream home. Thank you so much for helping me remember just how hard it was and how good God is. Elizabeth you remind me so much of my Aunt Betty. We lost her to cancer. We called her Saint Betty.

God can sure get us through some really hard times! His faithfulness is a mighty anchor in terrible storms! ❤️🥰

[@cheriemartinheartofthehome]

@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Yes HE can get us through the impossible. A dear lady in our community was sadly burned over 60% of her body as she was blown into the air during a home explosion. The community and her employer gathered and prayed, prayed and prayed. The Lord called her home . She left behind a family that loves her and many friends but all understand the pain she was facing after multiple operations was more than her little body could handle, God is good and she is no longer hurting. Please pray for Shelly's family.

Wonderful that y'all are on this extended trip. So much good content to share as always! Safe Travels Friends ❤️🙏

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Oh how I love that spot you parked outside of Montrose. The ramp at the back of the truck sure has come in handy!!! I appreciate how Bill showed that having a bigger toolbox is necessary......showing all the ups and downs helps out anyone else that may also want to build out an RV.

[@michelechorman3433]

I live in Montrose. It’s a beautiful place!! It looks like you went to a place we call Dry Creek - I thought I saw the Shavano Valley where you showed all the green. The area is lovely. We sometimes walk and shoot there too. The town itself is lovely and fun to shop in also - lots of great places in Main Street plus the Farmers Market. We’re close to Ridgway and the Black Canyon, Morrow Dam, the Grand Messa. I hope you come back and visit!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We’ve been to the Black Canyon numerous times, back when we lived in Colorado Springs. That’s an amazing place!

That was beautiful, how you could see the storm coming to you across the valley. So nice, when you have a cozy home on the road to shelter in! Wonderful. :)

Hello Bill and Elizabeth. It sure looked peaceful. I like how you can cook on the pull out table! Alot of space! You make me want a box truck!

[@donnap1958]

Awesome view. Great spot. We love dispersed camping. We don't do a lot but love the hunt!

[@janetkoball44]

I enjoyed your relaxing video. The views were spectacular and I am so appreciative of being able to enjoy them too. I've really been hoping to enjoy some boon docking but life got in the way so hoping to down the road in my life. I'm getting old so I hope things come together soon so I can experience out and about time soon. Love from Central Oklahoma.

[@jan6293]

Bill, you can get a tarp and adjustable poles and even suction cups for the truck to cook under or sit under when it rains. Loving the videos! Thanks

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We already have a freestanding canopy tent. I just didn’t set it up because I didn’t know it was going to rain. The rain just spit on me for a few minutes and stopped.

[@LaurieKelleher]

You drove by our house coming from Ridgway to Montrose on 550! It always makes me smile to see others enjoy the beauty of where we live.😊 Safe travels on the remainder of your adventure!❤

Nothing nicer than being snug as a bug in an RV listening to the pounding rain on the rooftop, hearing the wind, and knowing you are safe and dry. Am really enjoying your adventures. 💗

Thank you two for taking us along in your adventures in a box....truck! I'm having a blast and actually feel like I'm with you! It's great...no jet lag and no need to collect luggage after the vid!! 😂😂😂 I simply think your ramp/BBQ is a stroke of genius! Well spotted Bill! 👍🏻👍🏻 Stay safe!!

[@rickmcalpin]

I love you guys! Thanks so much for the vacation videos - I'm stuck at home, dealing with cancer and working full time still and can't really travel, so this virtual travel trip is awesome. A friend of mine and I flew into Montrose, CO in 2 Cessna 172's just last week - using Microsoft Flight Simulator, all virtual. It looks very real from the sky, so it was really cool to see it in real life as well from the ground. Your camper is amazing as well. I watch Liz Amazing's KZbin channel and she's been highlighting people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on brand new campers that are just junk and dealing with dealers and manufacturers is a nightmare, sometimes their rig spending more time in dealerships than on the road, so you building your own really guarantees it's the high quality you want.

[@dawnbaker9274]

So glad y'all are just moseying around, enjoying the view, and doing whatever y'all want. The views were awesome.

[@davidcamacho3513]

Good morning from S. FLA . Brian uses a spray bottle w/ vinegar & water. It saves him lots of water when doing dishes. Safe travels

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, I know Brian uses a spray bottle with vinegar. I tried it, and it’s too much of a hassle. I could do that if I had to, but I’m much prefer having a sink. In fact, after a month in the camper, I can’t imagine being without a sink! if we’re careful with it, the 30 gallons of freshwater we carry in our tank will last us about four days before we have to find a place to refill.

[@davidcamacho3513]

Hey, whatever works best for you. On a different note. How about the occasional side hustle? You build out ford e450 box trucks. Only one model, yours. Nothing shorter/longer. One floor plan, yours. They bring you the box truck, you build out what you did on yours. They’d pay you for the parts upfront. They have the option of using your Florida neighbor to finish up the a/c if they wish. Then they can use whomever they want to complete the solar. By the 3rd build, you’d be doing it with your eyes closed. If I could, I’d love to have your build. Just an idea.

[@anamaymi2179]

We just shopped at that Walmart yesterday. Black Canyon was spectacular and it is so interesting that Montrose is desert, but agricultural due to the tunnel bored through the mountain that brings water to the area. Now in Ouray and then down the Million Dollar Highway! Thanks for the videos!

[@RubyMcgilvra]

Colorado has some amazing camping. I just hope y'all have some type of protection with you when you are in these areas.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Protection from what? There are no people out here. it’s much more dangerous in the cities than it is out here in the middle of nowhere. I’m much more concerned with security in the cities than I am out here. And animals are not really a concern. You must respect them if you see them, but you don’t have to fear them. Usually, they’re trying to get away from you!

[@spoly8139]

What beautiful views from that rugged campsite. The peace and quiet are so relaxing. When camping at such a remote site do you have to worry about rattlesnakes, bears or getting help in case of a medical emergency? We get to enjoy all your unique discoveries and appreciate you filming everything for us to enjoy! Thank you. ❤

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

You don’t have to WORRY about rattlesnakes or bears. Just be aware that you might come across one. Don’t fear them, but respect them and stay away if you see one. They will not bother you or attack unless they feel threatened. We had cell service there, so we could easily have called 911 if needed.

Thank you for sharing your adventures with me!!! I truly love them!!!! Yes Bill my hubby to wrapped and padded everything that made a slight noise. Cause those noises can sure take the beautiful drive and ride away. We used a hand towel in our little cooker like yours. I guess it was 5,00 in that padded kitchen liner that saved us.

[@loveandlife4222]

If I were you I would also take your old socks and put things like that jack inside of the sock to help insulate it in your toolbox too. You are camping in the exact same country that is like where I grew up and still live. We have miles and miles of it all around us. They are called the bad lands. I’m not sure why but I’m 65 and they’ve always been the bad lands. We love to look for signs of Indians because they were all over in the area. We find arrowheads occasionally and arrowhead chips everywhere. It looks like your camper is working out great! Thanks for bringing us along!
