Having a Fun Time in South Dakota

[@senval6511]

13-month ticking clock on my own conversion deadline. I'm in Arizona, PHX area, and I'm going to be moving into a Chevy 3500 Unicell Box Van full time. I enjoy these mid-week videos that are just traveling/sight-seeing. Preview of things to come for me when my lifestyle changes to mobile. Thanks as always for the video and Merry Christmas!

[@reneecopeland1095]

Nice video! Cute kittens!

[@TheAmazingDrCheat]

Omg the kitties 😻 someone would have to drag me away from there 😂

[@robinbruso2223]

My mom was from South Dakota. The Black hills area so I saw a lot of that. She used to talk about the badlands but she never wanted to take us there. It looks like some place I'd like to go to.

[@OffGridThoughtsChannel]

It's pretty cool that you're able to go to some of these places. I'm not sure how many more places that I'll actually travel to. I've been to a few places but at this point, I've been through quite a lot in my life so I'm not sure that I want to travel much anymore. It's really cool to see these places that you are going to. I grew up near indian reservations in california. Good and bad in everything. Please be careful out there.

Merry Christmas!

"Do you have the plague?" 😂 Merry Christmas! 🎄

My family has a ranch not far from there. The locals from Rapid City come out to that area and throw out cats. And some of them live because there are enough mice. We feed the cats on our ranch because the cats help keep the mice down, wich keeps the snakes away.

[@janodjano5828]

After seeing this, thinking I’ll watch a few videos on how The Badlands were made. Geology wise … Enjoy your Holiday 🐊

[@mwolrich]

Oh no, a kitty naper 😂. Dogs and Cats living together, oh my. Make the Ramen, see if 🐈‍⬛ want some, probably too salty for them

[@ksk101963]

Another great video and I was wondering if the badlands as listed in the wonders of the world list it would be fun to go where you went by I would try to find out when the attractions close for the winter and make sure I go before they do since you missed the minute man missle again For the second time but not saying you can't go back and see those things when you get your van finished for one of many tests to make sure things are the way you want them as you stated in previous videos thanks for taking us along with you enjoyed the scenery sights and music and kitties Kraig from Washington State

[@vanlifemeow]

everything in south dakota closes in September. i originally planned on making this trip sooner, but obligations and stuff came up. id recommend early summer, like june or a couple weeks after the bike rally

[@ksk101963]

@vanlifemeow I appreciate you and your channel and you explaining this to me and all who read the comments and are interested in coming to the badlands to see for their selves what a beautiful vast place this is looking forward to the continuing of your trip Kraig

[@JustsomebodyWatchingurvids]

You weren't too far from the Crazy Horse Memorial. Those cats looked like they were being cared for. I really thought they weren't going to let you leave for a minute. Haha!

[@vanlifemeow]

crazy horse is awesome!

[@mwolrich]

Love the Praire dogs, but they are a nuisance if you try and walk among them, you can easily break a leg/ankle if you miss-step..

[@bonitamcwhirter1897]

Maybe next time when you pack up your food you may be can take some dry kitty food and paper bowls that way you could feed the kitties that you’re not sure are getting fed they sure were cute thoughI see you are talking more I like that

[@bobokerholm5049]

Where is Saturdays van build. Look forward to them.

[@vanlifemeow]

the next video will be this coming saturday, sorry for the delay.

[@rahmanr112]

Those kitten seem their use to visitors. I’m sure mother around hunting for mics…

[@classaendlessadventure2879]

i comment as i watch your vids i love cats for there skills and hunting but they are wild and carry little tiny bugs do not get to close, you get your box done you really need to explore east cost witch dates back to 1500s you will see time change as you explore

[@jameshowell7136]

Serious lack of tree's?🎉

[@vanlifemeow]

thats the high plains for ya

[@doingitwithnothing]

Have you been there in the winter time?

[@vanlifemeow]

i have not, october both times

[@Rich-ms6te]

🪃👍

[@Sanabria925]

How do you stay warm in your car?

[@vanlifemeow]

i just use a 32°f bag and reflectix on all the windows and i keep them shut too

[@CharlesBrochu]

I guess we can see how obsessed you are with cats. Personally i have a cat , They are only good to catch mice ,,sometimes, But oh well your choice. Get your money out and get a good Lunch , you know how to cook and have what you need , so Smarten up Boy , Take care and Happy holydays from Quebec😉😉

[@douglaswhite1306]

You said they don't take cash at the Bad Lands and you're broke. Did you mean they don't take credit?
