Fishing @ Crossroads Campground ~ Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Time for a nice break at this beautiful park. Did some fishing too. No bites.

[@biggyjohns2259]

I love small Mom and Pops campgrounds like that!

[@jaysuper8255]

BiggyJohns Ya, $16 not bad. Looks like a old KOA campground. Remember Eric paid $10 just for a shower at a truck stop. Here he gets as many showers as he wants, electric, water, campfire, fishing...What else does a guy need? O forgot beer,,,ice cold beer at that....

[@walpurgis4970]

My husband loves to fish. He always tells me, it's not called "catching" for a reason. The joy is in the peace of just enjoying the day and your surroundings. I'm not one to tell others what to do, but you might consider getting another bike. You really seemed to enjoy your bike rides in the past. Keep well. Enjoy! Love the Vids!

[@freewill1114]

The CB handle is obvious: Nomadic Fanatic. I can't imagine anything else.

[@melloman5517]

Great video. These are the type of videos that got me and kept me watching in beginning, keep it up explore, relax and enjoy! Oh yeah handle " A-TEAM "

[@lindafcrider]

Nice video as usual, your handle is "NOMADIC FANATIC" no need to confuse things. Nomadic Fanatic is your brand, stick with it. The CB people you meet will be new youTube subscribers.

[@ProfessorTravis]

Linda C As much as a new name would be fun. I agree with this. Promote yourself and possibly run into folks who might know you--and buy you a beer.

[@rokuhm5774]

I agree as well, stick to he brand you've built. K.I.S.S.

[@djkulp1]

Linda C Agree with the crowd ... "Nomadic Fanatic"

[@vaneset2592]

Thank you for sharing Eric...like to relax and watch you're videos...bummer on the fishing maybe next time you'll catch one, hello mr jax 😊

[@pokateps9062]

Awesome. We stayed at that place in February on our way home from Florida. Very cute little park and very clean.

[@lisakent5682]

Enjoyed the video Eric! Safe and happy travels! :)

[@nomadicfanatic]

Lisa Kent Thanks, it was a good spot.

[@IvanLagace]

Eric, I'll give you a good tip. Use windshield washer antifreeze instead of water an chemical in your porta-pottie. The detergent keeps things clean and antifreeze will control decomposition and odors. Needless to say in cold weather the risk of freezing up the pottie is eliminated.

[@turningwrenches7867]

CB handle "Nomadic Fanatic" Sounds good to me. Can't get any better than that. Its who you are.

[@love5022]

I'm glad to see you in my state. You need to stop in Louisville and go downtown. Good stuff to see!

[@nomadicfanatic]

love5022 Will do.

[@johncnorris]

CB Handles - JAX's Man -or- NOMADIC -or- Northwest Refugee PS - 'Troll Bait' might be appropriate too!

[@couldyouhelpmeout5598]

Ha ha. I like Troll Bait.

[@johncnorris]

Tom Larsen I thought of another: EJ and the Bear

[@allenheaps2084]

Two things you need while fishing Eric, first I didn't notice you sipping on a brewski (a must) and second you need to take a wee break, fish always bite while your taking a wee, state law! Looked like a nice relaxing stop anyway. The worst day fishing is better than a day at work... Oh yeah you are working, rough life! enjoy!!!

[@TheShootist]

That was the most polite No Smoking sign I recall ever seeing. Nice people who did that.

[@terrymorton8014]

I am glad you found that campground. Those kind of water faucets work all winter. The water is held back underground where it meets the pipe going to it. I want to buy one for my outside water some day. Don't have to cover with insulation and all. The fish if they are there will be at the bottom where they winter. They don't move much and don't eat. When it gets warmer they will be swimming around looking for food.

[@RDStudios]

C'mon it's Kentucky. You probably had the nicest rig there. lol =]

[@michaelmartin8505]

I like your videos. Screw the trolls. Live it as you see fit, its your life not theirs. For handle I suggest "CATHOUSE".Keep on truckin'.Stay tuned to this channel for videos on my Baja suggestions. Best boondocking ever.

[@cheecheedivine]

That place has all the comforts of home.

[@10MillionMilesJourney]

Happy Easter Eric (and Jax!) The campground looks great for just 16 bucks, the loos (as we Brits call restrooms) are clean. And Jax looks happy there. Shame about the fish though.

[@FrankGoossens_DIYDental]

This is the better life, Eric! I like the music. I'd never heard of the 126ers

[@diane-countryhut]

CB handle - Boondocker . . really only thing left for the van is an awning -- summer is just around the corner - with an awning - you could let it out and leave the doors open if it should rain

[@Onemattressatatime]

Best fishing show on the web

[@nomadicfanatic]

Glen Higginbotham lol.... Yeah not so much...

[@mrmagoo9901]

Cool dude. Also, you seem a lot less stressed since you got this van. Jax needs a a longer a leash. Happy trails...

[@Drifter5.7]

Thats my idea of a great day now! I was beatin my head on a rock at work just waiting to get outta there..good video

[@williamsegall2934]

Hi Eric. Big fan. Been watching you since the beginning. Forgive me if this is a repeat recommendation for a CB handle (I don't know how you can read through all of your own comments), but I was thinking "Mad Jax" both for 'nomadic' and for your co-pilot. And the best part is no copyright infringement!

[@PrideInPaterson]

A good handle would be simply: "Nomadic Fanatic" "Breaker 1-9, Nomadic Fanatic here rolling southbound, doing double-nickels on the flips side, over!"

[@fearlesspatrriotMcKanna]

cb handle is sa no brainer....nomadic fanatic

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Well, at least you got a chance to get the line wet. Only thing missing was a shot of your fire. ;P Thanks for the relaxation.

[@nomadicfanatic]

MotherOfManyHorses I have another 10 minutes of fire video for tomorrow morning :)

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Nomadic Fanatic Oh good! After the morning I just had, I can use some more relaxing video. ;)

[@JaceBell]

Eric why not just use "Nomadic Fanatic" as your CB handle? It is already cool as hell!!

[@sportsfan4245]

Hello eric, I think your cb handle should be the same as your youtube channel. It's your brand name and using it as a handle will just expand it specially among the trucker community. There are a lot of truckers shooting video for youtube also. Stay safe keep rollin.

[@bobbyballengee6221]

I'm a trucker for almost 20 years. You could call yourself THE NOMAD

[@montiraruba2831]

Kind of reminds me of a KOA especially with the little cabin.

[@1oldsnut]

MontiR Aruba ya that sure looks like a KOA cabin

[@nomadicfanatic]

MontiR Aruba It used to be KOA - good eye

[@warlordblee1968]

Nomadic Fanatic 112 bucks a week if I did the math right. Good campground to remember for the next trip through Kentucky.

[@white2eagle]

Dude, I love your videos. I was just watching this one about you being in Elizabethtown, KY and that campground park you stayed in I live close by it with 20 acres and a pond with big fish, I wish I would of seen this or known about it and would let you fish on my pond but you are welcome to fish on my pond next time you are in town, just let me know. :) later man and thanks for the awesome videos!!!

[@n8zae]

CB handle, Nomaticfanatic, it fits right.

[@ClassALiving]

Nice! I can't wait to get a fishing pole, looks like a lot of fun. :)

[@1oldsnut]

I can sympathize with you over the RV being too old, I have a fully restored 1976 GMC Motorhome with about 30k invested in the resto, nicer than most new RVs but because its an older RV I cant camp in a lot of places. As for a CB handle how about "nomadic fanatic" I've certainly heard worse handles. Enjoy your travels Eric!

[@johnfiskin4188]

A GMC RV, now that's a great ride. Steel frame, air ride, low clearance, front wheel drive, that thing is all class. 26 or 23 footer?

[@1oldsnut]

John Fiskin its a 26ft palm beach, Howell EFI, Switch Pitch Transmission with a power drive final drive, aluminum heads, quad bag suspension. Gets 11 mpg and the ride is like nothing else.

[@mistermusic140]

CB handle could be Catman, Vanman or Jack Daniel. LOL :-)

[@TommyToi1]

Great vid!...CB handle -Brother Bertha...lol

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

safe travels to you and JAX.

[@KeyMakers]

very cool vid bro.. nice styles

[@purest21]

it looks nice an clean so far,,shame there isn't any fish

[@reflectionofpower8339]

It's always 301, solitude is great, What I learnt from fishing

[@skyl4rk]

If you want to catch fish, the steelhead are running up in MI. Head up to Manistee, MI and fish off the piers or from the riverbank.

[@kazbluesky]

beautiful cat

[@kellysheridan4064]

Just use Nomadic Fanatic for your handle. .. expands your established market into the cb arena .

[@3270bigjoe]

next time try can corn , or stop and get night crawers. thats the best thing in farm ponds. or just small spinner baits. cb name ( vanman ) OR CAT MAN AND JAXS .

[@nomadicfanatic]

***** Thanks!

[@dannegeorge6442]

Nomadic Fanatic What about J.E.B? As your CB name?

[@WhidbeyIsguy]

Hey Eric , He "Pinks" should be running good up in the Northwest this year. Last year was an off year. CB handle "Traveling 12" just a thought.

[@MrJamesPottorff]

Your CB handle needs to be the same as your name here. Nomadic Fanatic!

[@SweetTater]

What about Nomadic Fanatic? Or is that too obvious? That is a nice quiet park with clean facilities. I wonder if they know there is no fish in the pond, which is why you can fish there without a license. Lol. Enjoy your fire.

[@tlbeadlegmailcom]

There's lots of fish in that lake. The problem was you were fishing right handed in a left handed lake.....hoot! I hope the camp fire went well. That always makes any place excellent!! Thanks for posting.

[@varietybacon6969]

That's a nice place!

[@Me2cumgitsome]

Dude great video. I love seeing your videos everyday i look forward to a new one. :-)

[@u1stplease]

You need barbless hooks for catch and release. You could just use a pair of pliers to bend th barbs against the haft.

[@deangousse2113]

I stayed there several years ago. Don't know the conditions now, but at the time it was just converted from a KOA and everything was clean and freshly painted. It was very nice. I have to say, seeing video of a place you've been before is kind of weird.

[@christine_hazel]

you are so cool eric! I just adore you

[@nomadicfanatic]

Christine Lange Thanks Christine. :)

[@gdenney82]

I would hold off on the "Nomadic Angler" channel for the time being. LoL You should just stick with "Nomadic Fanatic" for your handle.

[@missycat5783]

JAXMAN Seems you might be a little homesick about now

[@scottwebber4266]

thank you wish you the best

[@plutoplatters]

try keeping a tin of live worms... a for sure in places like this... easy to keep... put some vegetables in with them (food) will keep for ages

[@WindersRanger]

still a little early in the season up there for fish to bite like they do in the summer. The water I'm sure is still cold and if there are fish I'm sure they are a little sluggish still.

[@raylovett9187]

Awesome video eric, CB handle could be "Jumpin' JAX"

[@philipplakay]

beautiful cat!

[@cclapew]

I would use Nomadic Fanatic for your handle

[@SweetTater]

Eric, I was cleaning my trailer when it came to me, the perfect handle combining two of your loves. Are you ready? DAYTONA JAX!

[@burn2five]

your handle should be, Big Willy, and if that's not floating your boat, it should at least have big in it somewhere

[@lesg6693]

16 Bucks not bad...BTW good video dude

[@bmedlin00]

Travelin Jax might be a good one.. anyone who watches your channel would catch it.. but anyone else wouldn't..

[@madamesophia2004]

I'm thinking nomadic fanatic for your cb handle. You said something about going back to work. Poor Jax is going to miss you terrible. You may have to take him with you in the van even after you get an apartment and different car or he could pine away for you. I'm gonna miss your wanderings. Tfs

[@dannegeorge6442]

Christine Strauss It was an April fools joke.

[@jlp1149]

wanna catch fish - use red worms and crickets , save your bottled baits until you are back in trout country

[@swillpup1]

CB Handle could be JEB (Jax, Eric, Bertha)

[@bryan2873]

BEJax (pronounced Bee-Jax). For Bertha, Eric, jax.

[@RiamuYabu]

It looks like a great place to camp, but where's all the people? I can't recall seeing a single person walking about in your entire video. Do people just park their trailers there for storage or something?

[@stephanieking2946]

I'f you were my son I would be very proud of you.

[@nomadicfanatic]

+Stephanie King Haha. Well thanks, Stephanie. :)

[@audleyunusual7623]

Handle suggestion: "2 J's" (Jax & Jacobs) or "Travelin' J's.

[@gregorycarmine1481]

CB handle- Bad Karma used to be mine but I will gladly had it over to you if you like it. ..

[@JunkPileOMatic]

CB handle = b.a. baracus,? Hannibal? Murdoch ? Face ? Easy-E and J Cat.? Free Bird?.........I could do this all day but, I've got Videos to make too. Enjoy my home state I hope to be there soon. Drive Fast and Take Chances......I mean Be Safe . LOL

[@dilbotmacguillacutty4849]

Easy E and J Cat... Foshizle!!!

[@ucantseeme33]

I think your cb name should be nomadic fanatic ... keep the trend going

[@slowsteve3497]

What happened to the solar water heater? Did you take it off your van? I was worried it might not work in the cooler weather. Good luck!

[@TheSurfrer1]

I was a little disappointed the fish weren't biting. You'll have to make up for it and head south were you can do some noodling for a "Jax" size catfish. Come on Eric, promise me you will!

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

$16.00 good price-----------even without the fish.

[@lnwolf41]

What happened to the hot water tank on the roof?

[@Freebird83]

CB HANDLE: GHOST RIDER!!

[@Olympia_Outdoors]

Dude Nomadic Fanitic is awesome C.B handle! I personally think its a cool Y.T name too.

[@oriongkt]

Just remember, fishing is not always about catching a fish !

[@realredrebel]

Handles: Rolling Jax, Black Box,

[@nomadicfanatic]

realredrebel Like it!

[@vikingvic]

realredrebel Jax the ripper? Jaxoff? Haha, just had to

[@dugdru2]

You're driving a B.A. Baracus style van, so maybe you and Jax could be Ateam.

[@quarteracreadventures855]

I don't know what your handle should be, but way back when I had a CB radio, my handle was 'Frisbee'. I'm sure you'll come up with a good one ;)

[@mesutt159]

Why not "Nomadic Fanatic" just sayin why change it up?

[@angelajohnson5728]

+mesutt159 That's what I think, too!

[@u1stplease]

Did you keep the portable solar panel, the first one you had? I haven't seen it in the van, so I wondered.

[@nomadicfanatic]

Daniel Ferry I gave it to Mike - Living Free

[@3270bigjoe]

Nomadic Fanatic I went and bought the same folding solar panel you had. After I saw how eazy it set up I got one two. It works great but I will put on roof top as soon as i have the chance.

[@209_Tint_Shop]

Ur. Cb Handel should b candy man lol. JK I seen someone post boondocker on an earlier post I think that would b Kool but u also need a # b4 ur Handel so when u key up you can be like this is 123 the boondocker it helps to have a # cuz sometime people can have a hard time trying to. Here ur handle and they can say ur # to get ur attention like my handle is 186 the bouncer just an idea if u have any questions just ask been playing with cbs for a while on the road and in my personal pick up truck

[@JohnYoung-yx8yz]

Jax, tell your dad that he can buy a fitting for the stove & hearher gas and use 20 gal. tank

[@NateB1976]

I think you would of been better off digging up some worms. Especially in a pond like that where the fish would never see pink eggs/salmon eggs as a natural bait. Did you try casting some jigs or inline spinners like rooster tails? Those usually will get the blue gill or bream going. At least you had a relaxing day in the sun by the water😊.

[@devildan58]

Wondering where you got JAX ? Did you have him before your driving adventure ?

[@nomadicfanatic]

Anthony Kepler He was born in the apartment I lived in with my girlfriend in 2010. We moved into our first RV alone when he was 8 weeks old and this is the only life he knows.

[@LostRoaming]

Nomadic Fanatic And don't forget, he chose you, you didn't "get" him ;-) It's in one of the vids Anthony. Not sure which one.

[@moosegreen24]

CB handle : Nomadic Fanatic ?

[@plutoplatters]

I'm guessing CB's are far more popular back south vs. calif,etc

[@samgraves614]

NOMADIC FOR HANDLE

[@eldorado5686]

CB handle - Bertha's Brother

[@StacieDude]

How about "Jax's Axe" for a CB handle?

[@fishlanding]

beer drink'n race car jacket wearing nomadic fisherman god bless the USA

[@AmtrakJack42]

Black Jax
