First Class Boondocking Grand Canyon Tusayan

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Great job Russ! Electric bike and new charger set for the summer and riding to the Canyon! I’m watching this in Feb 2024!😀🇺🇸🚙🌲🍃🛴🚲

[@jim87vette]

I met my wife there 36 years ago. We both worked at the canyon. Good times

[@noreenn6976]

Your camera takes beautiful videos. Thanks for taking us along

[@susanboatman7913]

I believe that it 5 million people per year. The Grand Canyon is considered the best natural wonder in the world. Everyone should visit at least once in their life.

[@jeanmayfield1636]

Thank You Russ for Great Videos👍🙋‍♀️👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@daveivey895]

You live a Great life Russ!....

[@glamperjan]

I've the set up with the Bluetti!! Camera worked great@ You have a steady head!!

[@lennymalley745]

Thank you my friend for sharing gorgeous views and a place I would love to swing through and see one day I hope

[@dclassb8135]

Free boondocking! Heck yeah!

[@richardross3172]

Almost 2500 miles on my ebike. Makes me feel like a kid again, and I,m a 1956 model!!! I use a bluetti 150 to recaharge my bike and recharge the bluetti with 350 watts of solar. Works great!

[@dylanreynolds8264]

I really enjoy your new rv russ

[@jch5150]

Finally some pine trees!!

[@johnlenart597]

30 years ago I took the train from William's to G C when traveling on 2 wheels. That whole area looks vastly different. Thanks for taking us along on your travels. " Ramling Russ" will probably be your 2 wheeled name. The video was quite good from the E-bike. You made a great purchase. Slow and steady while you're getting accustomed to your new ride. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "NICE CRUISING " on the "EBIKE"!!! Be Safe!!!

[@charleshicks3492]

Great video; nice cool weather and a good area

[@lindamartin2045]

Beautiful, beautiful 👍👍. Glad you are having fun with the ebike. Once summer kicks in guess people will have to search in morning for a campsite. Understand about allergy inconvenience. I just got back from Pacific coast where I felt fine. At home coughing and choked up. Thank you for the excursion.🎶😊😳.

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

That’s about as good as it gets! Can’t wait to see the next adventure!

[@thetommantom]

I love seeing all that shade and all that area of speckled sun and shade

[@darlenestout7548]

Very cool. Can't wait to see the grand canyon. Thx for sharing

[@janicelapointe3650]

Hey Russ! Your GoPro did great on your helmet. Very steady! Love the addition of your bike. Really great video! Stay safe😊

[@robertjean659]

Great spot to camp out, that bike a the best way to get around.. looking forward to the canyon 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@joycehussung446]

Glad to see you on Lectric bike. We have the 1st ones they came out with . Love this company & oh my love , love our bikes. We have had ours gor 2 yrs. I have almost 1,900 miles on mine, my husband has less as I have rode more. Hope you enjoy yours as well as we have enjoyed ours. Have fun and ride safe

[@angelialeal8832]

My new favorite channel!

[@styx62ga95]

That’s a great idea carrying the small bluetti can get more distance or just emergency power if needed

[@Mark_Chandler]

I liked the north side better, less crowded and also has camping outside the park..the local hotels asking 175 bucks a night...so gas isnt look so expensive compared to a hotel room

[@lawrencewiddis2447]

But if you live closer to the South Rim it is a 400 mile round trip drive to get to the North Rim.

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Looking good Russ, the Ebike is too cool for school. Smooth sailing & safe travels.

[@geraldmerkel7145]

Yo Russ, Bout Time you were on Two Wheels. 👍👍 I am all about my Motorsickles and Mountain Bikes. GREAT VID. Hello again from Mid Michigan

[@shf030]

Hey Russ you need to put the cam on that leveling stick and hook mic to the cam so we wont get motion sickness. There are ways to fix it so wind wont be an issue

[@glamperjan]

Was just there in March! South Rim closed but Fredonia is an awesome city! Great Paiute camp up there. GLAD YOU GOT AN ELECTRIC BIKE!! WE CAN RIDE TOGETHER!!!👍♥️

[@psychobilly666ful]

Love your videos Russ. I'm watching them all. They're great.

[@margaretbowen867]

Wow Russ! You're heading for 100K subscribers!!!!!!!

[@craigkrajewski8772]

Great video safe travels

[@32prettyblue]

Another great video. Always love your boondocking sites!!!

[@lucyfoster8624]

Thanks for sharing the ebike ride. Loved it. I really like the way u tell about the power features on the bike & on the little battery.💖🤗👵🦅🕊.

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Hi Russ 👋 ..I just left there I was boondocking in area 302 ...beautiful place ..enjoy be safe 😊

[@tglass0000]

Great spot! The Go Pro/E-bike video was excellent. I spent a week camping about a mile south of that on another Forest Road earlier this month and was amazed at the lack of other campers. Peace and quiet and solitude near the Grand Canyon. Priceless.

[@jesscarey7666]

Howdy Russ! Travel safe sir 👍

[@lyndacompton1846]

Love your bike and the ride was wonderful I think it will work out thank you

[@IDNHANTU2day]

I hope you are wearing a reflective vest when you ride. Stay safe Russ.

[@susanstrickland6774]

You found a clean lil gem of a spot there and so close to the GC. Nice job on the rack, looks sturdy. Good having the electric bike to get around on and save gas; plus if a breakdown you're not stranded. You definitely have a great solar set up. Happy Memorial weekend. 🙂👍

[@milehighkit4725]

That's a real nice spot!

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

Electric scooter with pedals and if you never use pedal power Russ you’ll get about 50-60 miles if you stay on flat ground. Lots of fun

[@lindawoody8501]

I am so happy for your about your nifty bike carrier! Also the idea of the Bluetti mini battery to take on the back of your e-bike is a great one. The Grand Canyon is beautiful as is the surrounding forest. I have been in the same area you feature a few times. Thanks for sharing the fun and beauty. I also noticed you did not have any trouble going over the cattle grate in the roadway on the e-bike.

[@justlookin3]

Having the GoPro on your head was surpriseinly smooth. Well done. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@Dave-zj1zj]

Have Fun Russ

[@steviejd5803]

Hi Russ, sorry we missed you. We’ve just spent 3 days enjoying the GC, even went to the North Rim too. Wonderful. Anyway, greetings from two English friends that love and totally adore America.

[@BlueSky-ff4oy]

Thanks for an informative video.

[@wbrown62]

We were there at the same time, but we camped on FS 302. It leaves the highway right beside the traffic circle you went through. We were 10 miles down FS 302 with not a soul near us. It was awesome.

[@Resounded]

I thought about getting the new Lectric but, I am very satisfied with my Lectric XP 2.0 !! Nice video !

[@joemiles6917]

Russ, you made us laugh about pedaling your bike.🙂

[@kathyhepler382]

Thanks Russ! Really enjoy your videos. I did work on t south rim 1 year. Safe travels 😂😆

[@jaysonschor]

Thanks for the info Russ! I just got to the grand canyon it's March 19 and thanks to your video I found a spot on Long Jim loop. Now it's time to explore!

[@cathyhennessey9018]

This is what I was looking to go do. Thanks for the info.

[@bonniekaye]

*Awesome day!*

[@edmalts]

Thank you Russ, for taking us on your great adventures and travels. We got the same spot you got I. Your video lol 😂 ,,, last week Friday night but we had a bad experience,,, someone was walking around our campsite 🏕️ did not feel safe at 9pm so we packed and got a hotel $200 night.

[@walterbright1396]

I agree with you. That looks like a great spot. Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know of that area. I have had to stay at 10x and the ridiculous Bedrock campground (don’t know if it’s even there anymore) in the past during the crowded summer season. Not a fan of Mather but I do like Desert View. The only thing I like about Mather is it’s so convenient. Look forward to seeing more from the S Rim. I’ve taken a dozen people across to the north rim and back by foot including my wife. But I haven’t been past the first tunnel on Bright Angle for quite some time. Hopefully next year that will all change.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍Hello Russ! This was a really nice boondocking spot! I felt like I was riding with you. Neat! A picture post card beautiful day! Looking forward to seeing the Canyon. Hope you get to feeling better.👍

[@toddmccowen8206]

u can dry camp at the forest ranger tower -nat forest land BLM ,its right in the middle on the south side of the road going to the back gate .

[@Go4Corvette]

Love the tour, Russ. Be careful riding that bike in traffic people never seem to see bikes. I have two Bluetti AC200P, and they work great. I need to check out this area when I come up to Quartzsite AZ in a few months. Have fun, Mike

[@CS-uc2oh]

You don't need to tell a grown man to be careful riding their bike in traffic. Stop this mindless behavior!!!

[@timlavance867]

Having a very tough time in life right now divorce and kids will be far away from me and I have really been enjoying your videos..thank you for making them...takes the pain away for alittle while.

[@bobb2394]

Nice bike really can go far on it. Happy memorial day russ

[@realMartinHamilton]

Thank you very much for this video Russ! My concern was where to go during the summer heat. Looks like 6,000 ft and this area is it!

[@MSDOGS1976]

Cool video. Would love to take a trip out that way in the Fall but doubt gas prices will drop a lot by then. Will have to wait.

[@seymourrivers6169]

Ebike, folding solar panel and portable power station is good for the long haul.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YaY!

[@summerstardust2064]

Appreciaye knowing good boondocking areas before I drag my rv there. Thanks!

[@joangosselin]

Russ, that was my idea about the 2nd battery charger to take with you while on your electric bike. When electric bikes first came out, that way you always have power. You're the first person get it. :)

[@nancycain4434]

Really enjoyed this video. I'm just amazed that there's free camping just outside the Grand Canyon entrance. And that E bike is really cool and I'm definitely getting a Bluetti .

[@vanlifebiker]

Love the set up. I'm finishing a Cargo Rack Build on my Sprinter on my channel right now. It will hold a mini gang box for storage & a back up generator. 😎👍

[@robinengland5799]

I would love to take our Casita out to that boondocking location, looks great. Bike is nice, I could drive to work.

[@johnmiller4553]

BEAUTIFUL😁 YAY ! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@Marcy.Duvall]

Cool bike ride!

[@robhebbs7960]

Ya Russ i was up there the same time in 2020, Stayed in the same RV park. It was great to have the canyon to our selfs. Did you have Elk come down into the campground in the evening ? They came down every evening we were there .

[@edrabbitt1199]

dont know if you know this but you can camp off the dirt rd right in the roundabout

[@TimeTraveler8528]

Bluetti should sponsor your video since everyone is asking about it, including me.

[@ramontoro]

Interesting video, thanks

[@lawrencewiddis2447]

Another good video. I’m not a fan of power stations but your idea of using it to supplement the two bike batteries is resourceful. I’ll try Long Jim Loop. I’ve been a fan of camping east of Tusayan along FR302.

[@birdman5223]

I had my first ride on an ebike a few weeks ago in Yucaipa Ca😱, scary power😵‍💫

[@timduprey7417]

Hey,russ how fast is the electric bike

[@birdvalystuff]

Glad to see you really rode the bike. You'll likely never need to take small Bluetti battery box. Just recharge with it when done riding. I got 360 video camera they make a different kind of file. Your a editing guy might see what you think < put word out and maybe free cameras will come your way >

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Great video

[@scable-eq7bp]

Very cool video Russ, love the setup on the XP, I did the same but I mounted a small gas generator to my XP, it's like 1800 watts and only added 42lbs more to the bike. If I keep my speeds under 18 mph, the generator keeps the battery topped off. With this setup I can ride almost 200 miles before I have to refuel the generator.

[@BlueSky-ff4oy]

Taking your e-bike took 15 minutes AND saved you a pretty penny in ga$!

[@i70show]

sweet Video ! Great job !

[@khankhan-ge6oi]

Russ like your cycle .petrol price very high this cycle good for people's.

[@alejack12001]

I am glad your new bike works out for you for short trips. The portable Bluetti seems like a good addition for recharging your bike and portable hand held devices such as the phone. I don’t know if you have heard that the new electric bikes in some of the states are being regulated as a motorcycle requiring the user to have a motorcycle license. I guess it has to do with the speed that the bike can attain. I noticed you rode yours on the sidewalk as opposed to the street except for the unpaved road where you were staying. You weren't going that fast so there was no problem noticed. Be careful and god bless.

[@Lancaster7]

I think your VG's are backwards.

[@TimmyCramer]

Kickass setup sir! I'd love to hear details on ebike, cost? Love your channel! Timmy C Arizona

[@KittyGirlTravelProductions]

2 see on (Tusayan) I worked for Fred Harvey at the Canyon in the 90's. They had employee housing.

[@SmittyAZ]

Memorial Day at the GC? Run and hide!

[@thetommantom]

I was driving thru when the north rim was on fire and the street had a 90 degree turn and a merge I wasn't paying attention missed the turn and the was a ranger telling people the area was closed

[@NemoVir]

You need to write a travel guide.

[@stanw909]

I thought you had a big battery bank so I don't quite understand the need for the Blueitti's other than the portable for your bike.

[@timpage8996]

Geez Russ was going to go to the canyon in March 2020 when COVID really started to be a thing and I had to get out of dodge before my insurance ran out when they closed the Canadian border!!!

[@LaCatLady]

Will the Renogy 100 watt solar panel charge this battery? Thanks, Russ.

[@williambaughman535]

What type of rack did Russ buy? That look perfect for my lectric XP 2.0 in the back of a chevy silverado with a lance camper on board. Please let me know where the rack was purchased from and the brand name.

[@theresaleek7750]

Russ, you mention the movie THE CAR. T that movie scared me half to death many years ago it was set in the Arizona desert somewhere with a lot of curvy roads it was supposed to be a car from hell or something but oh God it was just scary.

[@martinduhansky5638]

Do you coming to palm springs California thanks marty

[@richis65]

What are your thoughts on this new bike vs the 2.0? How about the 4 inch vs 3 inch tires? We have two of the 2.0s and love them.
