Full Time Travel Couple Vlogs Joshua Tree National Park

[@Robert-uq5ew]

I definitely like it better when you guys are off script. Your natural conversations are very entertaining 😊

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you! 😄 I think it’s more enjoyable to wing it too, but it did give some pretty good hike suggestions!

[@townsley420]

As someone who got laughed at for saying "cholla" when I first moved to Tucson, it's actually pronounced as "choya". Keep up the great content!! We just started full timing a week ago and enjoy watching the other people in our age group!

[@wildrvlife]

thank you for the heads up! 🤣 I swear if there is an opportunity for me to pronounce a word wrong, I'm going to do it lol. and thank you so much for watching!!

[@Roadtripmischief]

​@@wildrvlife My husband grew up in Yuma and around age 14, he fell into a bunch of cholla - yep INTO, Off a cliff about 20 feet. Broke bones in both hands and had thos extremely painful cholla quills all over his backside. Call them whatever you want, they are the worst to cross paths with!

[@BonzerWolf]

Put Big Bend National Park on your must do list. But avoid the summer heat! October -April is great. Texas 🌟

[@gratefuldude7511]

They are called jumping cactus because their roots are very close to the surface and as you walk by it can cause the cactus to bend towards the person or animal walking by. The spines can also have a slight hook on the end making it more painful and difficult to remove.

[@jim87vette]

I spent my teenage years in the Mojave Desert. Was riding a dirt bike and went over the handlebars and landed back first on top on a cholla cactus. Oh that was so painful lol. Loved the vid you guys.

[@wildrvlife]

Oh, good night, that sounds awful.

[@JZCRealtorCA]

The Wave was a short hike but a bit difficult. Those mountains with the snow are Idyllwild and Big Bear. Big Bear is very commercialized, but Idylwild is cute and fun.

[@stratos175escape7]

You guys are terrible actors. LOL LOL Love the channel, it's the personalities that make it GREAT! Mount Rainer from the visitors center to the base camp and back, nothing like hiking in snow. Hiking poles really help on the down to take the pressure off your knees. Enjoy the road and smooth travels.

[@wildrvlife]

😂🤣 I don’t think we’re meant for that “script” life. And wow!! I would love to do Mount Ranier one day…I bet that was tough but sooo worth it!

[@TheAverageJoeBro]

Longest hike was a 7 mile (round trip) to the Tin Mines in El Paso Texas. Hardest was Mammoth Rock… also in El Paso. You end up about 2 miles up in the sky the switchbacks get yah but at the end you can see quite a bit!

[@wildrvlife]

Nice! Good job!!

[@maryphillips1162]

Looks like you had a great time climbing. Looks like a very beautiful place to visit. Never had the time to stop when I was an over the road truckdriver.. Have fun and be safe out there. ❤❤❤❤

[@wildrvlife]

Such a beautiful place! And we really did have a great time ❤️

[@bernadettewinn6499]

We love your videos and your personalities are so cute. Wasn't crazy about the chat thing. Keep doing it your own way ❤.

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you so much! And yes, we’ll be back to normal programming next video 😆

[@Roadtripmischief]

Ha. You did great on that hike! My most cgallfnging was Bright Angel trail. At 55 years old! And I'm not into heights! I did 3 miles! ❤

[@janicebritt8418]

I think "root" and "route" pronunciation depends upon the part of the country you live in. I'm a southerner and pronounce it route. 😂 By the way, you guys are great, without a script! I love that you are normal people and don't mind showing the good and bad, even laughing at yourselves!

[@karlabryant1893]

Our hardest hike…summited Mt St Helen’s at age 66

[@RobertSmith-tq6mf]

My hardest hike was going to the fridge,and finding out I was out of beer! Lol

[@wildrvlife]

LOL 🤣 that does sound tough.

[@grayfox9911]

It looked like a good time! Y'all be careful out there!

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you!! We really did some awesome hikes this time, chat gpt made a pretty decent itinerary

[@theRovingVets]

I think the Dr Seuss trees is a good explanation, actually! We did joshua tree last year way too late in the season. Man it was hot! I don't know if yall did saguaro NP when yall were on the way to Cabo or not but I said it looked very similar, just trees vs cactus. Bethany (me) is terrified of heights so no rock climbing for us! But we kove all the hikes & kayaking adventures!

[@stephenpolos1689]

Good video 😊 one gallon of water per person a day hiking pole's long sleeve shirt you guys a pale skin hat and sunglasses suntan lotion 😊

[@josephclark8514]

Angles Landing in Zion’s national park was my toughest hike for me😬

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Beautiful, I like your content without help, but fun facts! I would like to share a sun hat are MUSTS! Your fair skin, light eyes, and hair are what the Dermatologist's call a receipy for Skin Cancer!

[@bartel-shop]

Amazing !😎ᓚᘏᗢ

[@jeannealex2560]

Hi guys... Looks like you had a great time doing all that rock climbing...Jeanne And I are laying in bed watching you and got tired....🤔...

Looking forward to your next video... Stay safe...J&A

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Our hardest hike has been a 50 mile backpacking trip through the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho!

[@wildrvlife]

Oh wow! That sounds so awesome! I would love to do a backpacking trip one day!

[@edmorse3529]

Another awesome video!!!

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you so much!

[@wearethechampions6216]

Did you guys do beets last year? I have the exact same RTI cup, I got it at the 2022 beet harvest.

[@wildrvlife]

Lol, yep, I was at the ND Drayton site.

[@wearethechampions6216]

@@wildrvlife Cool, I've worked the last two years at the Kennedy site. It's a small piling site about 15 mins from Drayton. We stay at the Drayton campground.

[@lilyLily1824]

Its Cholla Like "Show"la, but Chowla. Like the word Show. The jumping cactus are no joke either I've gotten it a few times as a kid. They are brutal to get out ofr your skin, they are barbed, my dad used plyers to get them out and there are smaller pieces around them to get them out, it takes days! i grew up near there so Joshua Tree is normal to me!

[@kenstankiewicz6405]

Sorry for another question. What type of water pump do you use when you have to fill your fresh water tank from your water bladder?

[@eprohoda]

bestie~Super- perfect travelvlog~=)

[@wildrvlife]

Thanks!! 😄

[@shanediditagain]

Great job!

[@wildrvlife]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@RobertMurray-b1e]

Stay off script! Much more relaxed and fun!! 😂

[@rogergraves242]

Putting them Puonds on.

[@lilyLily1824]

can you clear something up for me? So when you are looking for a specific spot to climb, is there already ropes an stuff hooked to the rocks? if so how do you trust it and who puts the first rope up? I honestly have no idea? TIA :)

[@wildrvlife]

The only thing that is already in the rocks are the bolts. You bring your own rope and carabiners, etc. the bolts are usually set by professionals, but we also always check to make sure they aren’t loose or damaged. If you are interested, REI actually has some really good how to videos on “lead climbing”, which is what Craig does to set the rope up at the top initially. And then we take it all back with us when we are done of course!

[@lilyLily1824]

Great Ty. i enjoy you two so much an im in love with Maverick and Leland!@@wildrvlife

[@danielhaddock5635]

I hiked Mt. Rainier to the 10,000 ft level..couldn't go to the crater, but got as close to it as possible

[@JohnnygSawyer]

For Craig, that was a stink bug (beetle) and the little mammal looked like a Kangaroo Rat 😅

[@rogergraves242]

A Salad or Tacos

[@rogergraves242]

Gether Done.😂😂

[@andrewbasile2339]

Dax Shepard from Idiocracy. I can't unsee it.

[@Your_doing_it_wrong_sean]

The real dr seuss trees are in Baja. Boojum Trees

[@wildrvlife]

omg yessss! we saw those when we were down there and that is exactly what I said too. I didn't know what they were called though, so thank you! There is this one section of the highway that runs through an area that has sooo many of them and it was so cool to see.

[@J.A.M.133]

Don’t listen to the haters.

[@wildrvlife]

Haha thankssss 😆

[@alicesharp5741]

My toughest hike was climbing Mt. Washington

[@wildrvlife]

Oh woah! That sounds like a good one!

[@kbcoggin]

(points at Cactus Garden)

[@kenstankiewicz6405]

No more scripts. Lol. Do you guys have the America the Beautiful pass for National Parks?

[@wildrvlife]

Lol it turns out we are much better just winging life, and yes we do!! We have gotten so much use out of it!

[@rogergraves242]

Or Gatorade.

[@journeysendrv]

Was it just the time in the car that was AI?

[@wildrvlife]

Yes! It told us where to go, so we went! Except stargazing…we didn’t end up doing that 😂 we like our sleep too much lol

[@journeysendrv]

@@wildrvlife wow.. interesting.. and then it hav e you the script of what to say? So freaky! That is going to take over our world!! I hear you about the sleep that’s why we are more of sunset people over sunrises!! Lol

[@dalemarshall9736]

We walked around the path in the cactus garden and did not get attacked by the cactus!

[@MitchellOutfitters]

Next time you are in the northeast, try hiking from Blue Rock campground. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3S5eoqinc6Xl7csi=YBdd6q3iWLVuWrVu It’s a beautiful location. A couple of great trails. Bonus, the world’s largest Cabelas 10 minutes away.

[@thebrianrice]

PCT !

[@wildrvlife]

Woahh that’s awesome!! I keep trying to talk Craig into doing that one day 😆

[@thebrianrice]

@@wildrvlife ya the PCT was fun but a long hike... its fun watching all your videos.

[@henryromero6736]

Cholla is pronounced choya

[@rogergraves242]

No get something like Electric racLights.

[@rogergraves242]

Shows U how much U out of Shape.

[@ScottVanArtsdalen]

Cholla is pronounced "choya"

[@bobstellmaker3816]

cholla are actually pronounded choya .

[@rogergraves242]

No too FAR

[@heatheradair7338]

Hmm - follow your channel because you show what reality happens in your own words. When you use an app - not so interested in anymore. Maybe just use stock videos/pictures with the computer generated content?

[@wildrvlife]

I hear where you’re coming from, and we prefer being off script too. But, I will say that me dying on that hike was as real as it gets 😂🤣 still working on getting back to peak performance over here, we’ll be back to regular programming next video!

[@rogergraves242]

Might be A snake in there.

[@Your_doing_it_wrong_sean]

It’s the food in the USA that’s killing you. Lethargic. Bloated. Go back to Baja. You’ll feel better.

[@jeffreyjohnston6843]

shedding weight will make you feel tired quicker.

[@LeeYvesMexico]

Ok, I'm going to unsubcribe. AI is evil. GPChat is evil. 👋 bub bye

[@wildrvlife]

Sorry you feel that way, but thank you for joining us while you did!

[@jakekennedy1007]

LOL

[@straylean]

You should be eating tons of fruit in-between meals. You also should add more food. You need fat and carbs in moderation. If you feel tired you are not getting enough carbs. You should be cutting back slowly and slowly increasing your activity. Losing weight is a slow process if you want it to stay off. That’s a mama’s advice :). Love you two. Reminds me of being young 😊
