[@sjr7822]

Your Amazon links from your website recommendations lists aren't working, tried two different browsers, no luck?

[@CreativityRV]

SJ R thank you. Is it this one? It's working for me, but maybe I'm missing something... www.creativityrv.com/gear/

[@CreativityRV]

SJ R or do you mean the links on my great page itself? I clicked the first one (the portable solar panel) and that seemed to work. Which links? Please advise ☺️

[@sjr7822]

Thank you for the quick response, only took me a couple of hours to figure out the problem, as to why the products would not appear. Some people use ad blockers, like me, that will prevent the products from appearing on your website! on these links "RV Gear Recommendations here: www.creativityrv.com/gear/ OR JUST GO TO www.creativityrv.com and choose the GEAR tab." Maybe a warning to disablie ad block- I've never had a problem on the other van life websites, recommendations of Amazon products, with the ad blocker active, so odd. Enjoy your rapid fire presentations. Thank You

[@sjr7822]

Took me a couple of hours to figure out it was my ad blocker causing the problem, never had this happen on another website with similar set ups with Amazon - Thank you for the quick reply so I could continuing trying to figure out the problem, I can now finish my Amazon order!

[@aquariousenigma70]

My countdown begins! Sold my house and I pick up my RV ON SEPTEMBER 1st! Yay!

[@CreativityRV]

Yay!!! Good for you

[@glitchmod2591]

I pick mine up on October 10th.

[@nomorebsforme]

Better save your money....

[@TwistedBloke]

😂😂😂

[@OffroadGirl]

I'm getting to the point where I don't have to research anything anymore. Just wait a minute and Robin will do it for you! I need to find places for a Class A on BLM and forest service land and it's a bit dicey at times. Your RV really gets you to all of the places, and that's pretty cool.

[@CreativityRV]

Thanks!

[@treysuniverserv1576]

One thing that we have found about BLM camping is that they accept National Park Passes (such as the Disabled Camper pass for me). This means that camping is often half priced or free at pay campgrounds. We just stayed at Red Mountain BLM Camp in Montana for seven days, while there was free BLM camping very close by we choose the pay site because of the green grass, shady treed sites and having a camp host who watched over the camp. With our discount we paid $6 a night for a great camp that was only 20 miles from Bozeman MT on the Madison River.

[@CreativityRV]

Good tip! Thank you so much

[@treysuniverserv1576]

Creativity RV Robin you are doing an excellent job on your videos. They are entertaining and instructional. You hit all the important points. If a persons follows your outline the will be successful. I really like how you reference the department's websites, rules and laws. Keep up the great work!

[@noreenn6976]

Trey's Universe -being that close to Bozeman sounds heavenly!

[@treysuniverserv1576]

Noreen N. I have photos on my facebook page or I would be happy to email you the photos of the campground. Just let me know where to send them to. It was a very nice camp with sites right on the river.

[@sherriharshman8527]

How does one obtain a disabled camping pass? That would be handy as I often have huge med bills. Sometimes we can’t afford to camp.

[@Lauralietx]

Another Amazing Video!! Wow you are really doing some amazing job on your videos!! This will make it much easier for those of us needing info to be able to do this life style!!! Thank You so so much!!!!

[@CreativityRV]

Oh good! Thank you for the kind words, watching and the comment ☺️

[@smOVERCOMINGITALL]

My husband and I love road trips and this is the first year we are going to camp. He grew up with no real camping and I used to go to registered camp grounds. We are going off grid that's why I'm here. (Not full time just 2 week little get away with the pup.) This has been HIGHLY useful! Thank you!

[@RVOnTheWayside]

Thank you for everything Robin. We get our solar in a month and will be able to start using all the tips here and from your book! Give Big Boy a hug from us!

[@KetogenicKim]

Nicely put together, as always thank you this is concise good information. I can feel your joy😊 I'm so happy for you!

[@LindaWolfe20]

Yap we use free campsites and google in... Good advice!!! We just got back from Galveston for my Birthday... had a wonderful time... we are getting ready to get back on the road... Love your videos..i will be adding our videos we took... please bare with me I am new at videos and getting them up on you tube.. may take a little bit to do this...

[@patledig1369]

Addicted to your videos. Best info out there, to the point, no wasted time. Appreciate you!

[@CreativityRV]

Thank you so much!

[@gigglinggypsy4636]

Wonderfully Useful Info - Thank You! I've been full-time since Dec '17 and absolutely loving it!! I'm back in NC now, and it's not terribly comfortable (humid heat) and free camping is scarce as hens' teeth! Can't wait to get back to BLM camping. Thanks so much for this great resource!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

That's great to hear you are loving it. When you camp along the East Coast and in your neck of the woods, where do you go? I'm curious as I used to live in Virginia Beach and am interested in traveling back that way, maybe up and down the coast. Thanks!!!

[@ran6110]

Very well done, one of the best overviews I've seen! This only thing I would add is to remind people to clean up after themselves because no one is paid to come in and do it. I've seen too many areas (especially dispersed camping) where people have left their garbage to stink up the place and attract animals (not to mention insects) while the next group in is left with cleaning up a mess! There have been National Forest sites that have been closed and more will occur if we don't keep it clean! Ok, I'm off my soapbox now...

[@CreativityRV]

I agree

[@marcia.warnercampbell9119]

I especially like learning about different subjects concerning the RV lifestyle. Your teaching is in depth and easy to understand. Thanks.

[@lacha608]

Really enjoying your channel and how thorough and clear you are about things. You clearly are a teacher and also someone who cares about others. Much appreciated. Hope all is well with you.

[@edithp.7213]

Hi Robin! As usual I thank you for your well researched and ever so nicely presented information. I think you ought to consider changing the title of your channel to “RV Angel”. Thank you for your continued effort to shepherd those of us that are hesitant and showing us the way to another way to live.

[@CreativityRV]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@avocado3748]

I like that "RV Angel" !

[@rebeccajane7431]

I am so excited and appreciative for you Robin! You are my go-to for learning more about .... everything RVing. I just bought my teardrop last week and will be taking her out on the weekends until I go full time in 9 months. Could not do it without you! Thank you

[@debcarpenter8519]

Ah ha! You visited Celestial Seasonings in Gunbarrel (Boulder)? Did you take the tour and clear your sinuses in the peppermint room? Awesome place and a great free tour! Plus the Tea room gift shop! Sorry, I couldn't help but mention it after seeing your t-shirt!!

[@CreativityRV]

I did! I thought they could sell a blindfold tour. Each ten feet is a new experience. Loved the peppermint room!

[@debcarpenter8519]

Creativity RV No kidding on the blindfolded tour! Your sense of smell would go crazy!! Have a great week!

[@barbarametzler7534]

Grew up in Buena Vista in 1960's & you are in a beautiful location. Enjoy your videos & see how much you have grown. . .keep up the great work!

[@CreativityRV]

Thanks!

[@sweetfreedom1866]

This is a great video, thank you!!! I LOVE your enthusiasm! I have been living this lifestyle and mostly on BLM and USFS land (free) for about 10 months now and have never felt so happy and free. But I still have things to learn and this video is a huge help and also very positive and uplifting!

[@sueb860]

I found your channel a month or so ago...and this video really gave me an education! Never knew about BLM land. Live on the East Coast, so there are bot as many great options, but we went to visit my son innArizona for his Birthday and his annual Birthday camping spot was closed...went on the searches you suggested and found a free BLM campsite at Ironwood National Monument! So glad I watched your videos before our trip to see him! We had a great time! Thanks so much!

[@sherylmcneill7811]

I'm loving your channel so much. You are so informative and your information is so timely and relevant. You've inspired me to see if this is a lifestyle I might be interested in. I'm starting with car camping in my local Natl Forests, as I am blessed with 4 of them in NC. Happy travels!

[@CreativityRV]

Thanks Sheryl!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

Sheryl, I feel the same way! I am in Colorado and I want to see more of it!! I'm going to start off with car camping and see how I like it. I'm excited to try. I've been watching videos, found Robin, and feel confident that I know enough to give it a try.

[@Steve7318]

That's great I didn't know that about NC. I'm from the East Coast. Do you sleep in your car or bring a tent? Happy trails!

[@bettywith2girls]

Excellent video and information.

[@lindatreggett2604]

Robin I love your videos, your energy, and RV camping information.

[@CreativityRV]

Thanks so much!

[@totallyenergizinglanguagel2379]

Your presentation is so encouraging and...with your beautiful passion for sharing what you enjoy on a regular basis...with the rest of us... (even those of us who are still "dreaming forward"!) your effervescent caring presence is certainly a breath of fresh air! Thank you SO much for sharing this most important info so freely and passionately!

[@CeeCeeImohlaapohko]

Your glowing!!! So happy for you. And soooo envious...

[@knutblaise9437]

Is that the Celestial Seasonings logo on your shirt? I really enjoyed the Celestial Seasonings factory tour in Boulder CO. I grabbed several boxes of their Fast Lane tea the last time I was there - more caffeine than drip coffee.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

We went several years ago when we first moved to Colorado. They didn't have any Fast Lane available when we went. However, my husband decided he wanted some and ordered it off their website. It's only sold in stores in Canada. Well, this New Yorker hasn't have coffee at home in years! I can't believe he gave it up for tea!

[@CreativityRV]

I got fast lane at the factory and love it! I have it about every morning but I'm going to run out soon 😲

[@DonovanRush]

It is fun learning from you Robin.

[@NomadicNonna]

I have been planning and waiting for the right moment to buy, build and live the life I have been dreaming about in a converted school bus. I LOVE that I found your channel! It seems as though you are my soul doppleganger. I cant wait to meet you somewhere on my journey.

[@Sewspcl]

Can't wait to join your tribe! I'll be on the road in November!

[@CreativityRV]

Good for you!

[@kellydoyle]

Fantastic video, Robin. Bravo!!! Miss you, girl! I’d like to add, a key point that many people aren’t aware of, that these public lands are paid for by our tax dollars. Lands set aside for public use PAID by tax payers. Dispersed camping is NOT squatting or freeloading as many haters purport it to be.

[@noreenn6976]

Kelly Doyle - well said! Nice to see you here, hope you are doing well!

[@RicardoRoams]

Your channel has rapidly become my favorite! You are so informative and it's really appreciated. And your channel is very watchable, easy to follow. Keep those videos coming!

[@CherylFlynn1]

Wonderful information, Robin. You are like a good and trusted friend.😊

[@amandamc1234]

Hi, Financially we are ready to go nomad but since our 3rd child is still in intermediate School, we are biding our time. Your information is very real and looking forward to hearing more. (Already subscribed)

[@tangotime7506]

Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. I just got a b+ and am planning on leaving within a week or so to full time. Hope to meet up someday but I will be marathon watching creativity rv videos while I learn the ropes. I’ve seen most of them but they will take on new importance now. I’ve dabbled around close to home for a few weeks so I won’t be completely overwhelmed. Can’t wait to hit the road for good.

[@CreativityRV]

Good for you!!

[@exposingliars9824]

I took off two weeks ago and discovered the Redwood Forests in Northern California. I've been stumbling across campsites on rivers that are half price for Access and with National passes. I'm now looking for BLM camping next.

[@Chefsantatravels]

God bless you for doing all this work And making these videos . I've just retired And hoping within the year To get an RV And start being a full time RV Nomad . This was the one video That really is going to help me Again all your videos Are top of the line And again thank you for taking the time to do it I hope maybe one day I'll meet you on the road . ☮♥✝💪

[@CreativityRV]

Thank you so much!

[@pats850]

​@@CreativityRV How long have you consecutively stayed on free spots on Blm land?Thank you

[@JamesShiver-]

You are AMAZING!!! The most informative of them all. Thank you so very much!!!

[@CreativityRV]

Thank you so much!

[@tinyandtalltravel1559]

Robin (Robyn?) I love your videos! What I always wonder with full-time RV'ers and I never see this topic come up: what do you do about annual doctor visits, dental cleanings and hair cuts when you're on the road! Please make a video to explain. I'd love to live this life, but ever practical, I need to plan everything out first. Thanks!

[@prettylittlephotons]

Love the hair! Purple is your color; it really brings out your eyes!

[@taral6414]

Off topic but I'm a big fan of your T-shirt collection!!! Sleepytime bear is totally on point for this Sunday... Your mcrib sammich shirt is my fav 😊😊😊😊

[@anniegogogone1806]

I love your videos Robin. So much good information. Thanks.

[@shannonmcgee4015]

Absolutely loved your video! You opened up a whole new world to me. I'm very excited to change my life and become a nomad keep the videos coming!!

[@traceywilkes7870]

I keep a travel planner & your tips are so helpful I write them down. I’m old school that way!! My partner is nervous about BLM but not me! I love the idea of being out in The wilderness & saving money!!

[@pamcox]

Thanks for your hard work and video

[@Rebeccamyst]

Best BLM info I have found yet

[@dalebarrett2758]

I love that your videos are no nonsense videos and right to the point❤️ thank you

[@3ringskoolie429]

THANK you so very much! We are about to hit the road in our skoolie and this information is exactly what we needed.

[@tilliestravelswithlauriean3674]

Thanks so much starting in November I'll be out in my travel van. Working now to put in the things i need such as a real bed and a kitchen.

[@survivor2338]

I Boondock and as long as I'm out boondocking I wouldn't even consider putting it in a plastic bag and putting it in my vehicle it goes from the bucket to the ground.

[@jcblackmon]

[@debclements7605]

You do a great job of giving helpful information! You are quickly becoming one of my faves! It’s because of your Composting toilet video than I am even considering such a thing when I get my rig.

[@jimterpstra9305]

I was just camping in that area a couple weeks ago. Great videos and great information!

[@carjack69]

[@joesrvhome]

Love the info...thanks for the video!

[@coffenut]

LOL. I went to the search page and went to "Eastern States". It came up with Wisconsin. I suppose that since it’s on the right side of the Mississippi, it could be could be called an Eastern state… :-)

[@tweekbebe]

Thank you for the great information! My husband and I are retired and travel frequently in our motorhome. We want to try BLM camping,so your info is helpful.

[@CreativityRV]

Oh good, thanks!

[@1951Roy]

Great video, thanks for your time.

[@bethvalentine7808]

Thanks for sharing 🐸 I love the way you plan trips ahead of time & research everything 😎 I'm on a budget & was curious about BLM land 🏕️ I'm from the East coast but always wanted to see Colorado I heard it is beautiful 🏞️ this video makes it possible 👍

[@gaylemoore2784]

Thank you, Robin! Another great, informative video. I have been full time in my RV for coming up on a year now and am ready to explore deeper into the BLM dispersed camping!

[@navygroundtraveler6884]

Did BLM at San Isabel National Forest, very beautiful & near a reservoir!

[@racoonsister]

I have enjoyed and learned from every one of your videos, I want to have a travel van ready by next summer, I want to travel every spring/summer/fall and be home for winter. Your tips, ALL of them will come in handy, thank you so much!

[@allenmandy7602]

I just started watching you and you have so much great info that we are looking for. Camping cheep or free is what we need. Now I just need to figure out what you do about internet. Lol thank you. 🙏 thank you. 🙏 for all your knowledge shared.

[@rebeccamoore4177]

Thank you!! So inspirational.

[@gratefulroad4022]

What a great run down! I will be referring to this information. Thank you! 😊

Great video! Thank you !!! Especially for the ladies ... gives us an extra boost of confidence to go and try this out. I appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@Steve7318]

Thanks for the info I'm watching one video after another. I adopted an expat lifestyle living in Southeast Asia from my VA disability but I'm thinking of adopting a Nomadic lifestyle instead so I can see the USA. This shows me it's possible to do at low cost.

[@debbiemanlongat4012]

Hey! Thanks so much for providing a concise "tutorial" on how to navigate through the BLM site! Great job on all your videos! Be well !!! Cheers!!!!!

[@madstarr2]

Great info!! This will save many of us lots of time and energy with understanding and finding BLM land!

[@georgialayman8176]

Robin, you do such a complete and professional job on your videos! We're setting off in the Spring, if we can wait that long!!

This helped a lot. Thank you.

[@johnregister7358]

Excellent video, appreciate your enthusiasm :)

[@DarrellLEE-uw3fz]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I just bought a pop up camper and want to travel 🧭

[@avocado3748]

You are so resourceful Robin. One of the things I learned was it has to be 6" to bury "my goods"... if it's less than 6" critters can dig it up and if it's more than 6" it can get into our water system. Robin do you have a collection of what we should do to protect our environment? For instance, I've heard some say it's ok to empty our urine bottle straight into the dirt while others say it's ok and good to pour them on non edible plants and trees. Should all of our water be strained from our sink so it would be ok to drain out to the floor? What's consider ecologically safe shampoo, soaps etc and what could we use to make our own? and such...

[@LaCatLady]

Another great video, Robin. Very informative. 👍🏻

[@DavidRSmith-oq4gi]

Thanks for your wealth of information.

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

Thank you! I am finding that a lot of places listed on BLM don't SAY RV safe...I'm in a 35 ft class A and really don't want to get stuck going up some place I can't turn around in.

Thx for your video. You are a wealth of excellent information.
