We can really appreciate the flow of your videos, you both are easy to listen to and have a lot to share. It’s funny because Idaho really is a hidden gem in certain aspects with what you both shared. If you get a chance, go check out GoldBug Hot Springs located in Salmon, Idaho. You won’t be disappointed. Safe travels! - Kyle and Renee

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much, that means a lot to us! Haha, yes Idaho actually has a lot to offer! We've visited twice now and had so much fun both times. We'll have to add the hot springs to our list for next time... we love visiting hot springs! Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn

[@sandrap3047]

LMAO Scout had another hankering for bananas! You have to hide a camera so we can see how a dog peels a banana. Cute kid! She’s going places! Beautiful camping spots!

[@NewstateNomads]

Isn't it funny?! 😂 Yes!! Great idea, I am so curious as to how she does it because they are perfectly peeled 🍌 cracks me up! -Katelyn

[@shannonalward217]

I’ve been to that area on business because I bought potatoes for a restaurant chain. I was shocked how really gorgeous Idaho is. Scout eating bananas is killing me! 😂

[@NewstateNomads]

That's definitely the place to go to get potatoes in bulk! It really is a pretty area. Haha, Scout is SO funny! She always keeps us on our toes!

[@brittanymcguff]

Its always so fun to see where I live from others perspectives. It makes me remember why we love Idaho falls so much! ❤

[@NewstateNomads]

So glad you see it that way, it's the different perspectives that we aim for in our episodes! Idaho Falls was a wonderful place to visit, and hopefully we can explore the city and state more soon. Thanks for watching, Brittany! 👍 -Howard

[@RainyJo715]

Ok, I’m catching up on all the videos I missed during this crazy busy holiday season! But when you said you were in Rexburg, my antennas went up!! Obviously, I’ve been following a big story there for quite some time. Then, you say that Nate Eaton is your old friend?? Wow!! He’s amazing! He’s really going place’s too. Then an interview with Emerson, Emmy?? Wow!! And yes, I have seen all of her interviews. She’s a chip off the ole block..lol So smart and cute!! Well, I’m loving your adventure so far, and I’m binging till I get caught up.:) God Bless!! 👍🙏🏼🌟

[@austinadventurer471]

I live in Blackfoot! The Potato museum is awesome, even though I’ve lived here my whole life i found things i didn’t know about potato’s. Paul at the Candy Shop is the best, he’s also a retired Army Lt Col! Thanks for spotlighting our great corner of the world!

[@NewstateNomads]

We loved visiting and we're so glad we met Paul! He was so kind to show us around. He mentioned his army days, incredible. The Potato Museum was so fun and we definitely learned a lot. So glad we could help showcase your town! Thanks so much for watching. -Katelyn

[@christinedorbert4615]

I love your dogs & your bear paws 🐶🐾

[@NewstateNomads]

[@rachellemackenzie4191]

Thank you for another professionally produced video. And thank you for sharing your adventures with us. During our quarantine we are living vicariously through you. :)

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Rachelle! Aww thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed this one. Wait til next week... so much beauty! 😉 -Katelyn

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Well, that's another ✅ on the bucket list, "Bear trips over our RV in the dark 😂!" Yes Howard, you are onto a winner, "not a-peeling" 🤣🤣🤣😂. How doe sone chastise the banana addicted dog? Hilarious. I've so enjoyed this video ( as always) My Monday morning couldn't have been a more humorous one. Thanks to you all. 👍🎥❤️🌷🙋‍♀️🙏

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Oma! Right?! So exciting that we had a SAFE almost bear encounter. The paw prints were pretty cool to see! And yes, we could never be mad at Scout for her little banana addiction...it is quite funny! She's too cute! So glad we could bring you some entertainment! Thanks as always for watching! ❤ -Katelyn

[@garyaberle603]

Sometimes I think I’ve seen an episode and what I think I saw was the Facebook so I had to watch a couple episodes, can’t miss one! all I can say is damn bears, was probably after the fudge

[@Thesaltymedic36]

What an awesome free camping spot. Beautiful view for sure. Definitely have to check out Idaho now and yes it seems to be overlooked, you don’t hear much about it except for potatoes 🥔😂. Glad the bear didn’t do any damage he was just passing through ✌🏼

[@NewstateNomads]

Yeah the two times we've visited, we've been blown away by the beauty! We were so lucky the bear didn't leave any scratches, just really cool paw prints! 😂🐻 -Katelyn

[@daviscrt]

Great video. So funny your dog peels the bananas. Don

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks Don! Yes, she's a trip. Such a funny pup, she is so precise with the peeling! -Katelyn

[@suzyq3746]

This video had it all. Excellent video as usual. Scout has been quite the addition to your family LOL.

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Susie! Thanks so much! 😊 It was definitely an entertaining week. Scout keeps us laughing, that's for sure. We love her so much ♥️😂 -Katelyn

[@lynngraves4326]

So cool 😍🐾

[@blessed2rvgmail379]

Dang the bear! 🐻 Wow! Wish this video came out before we went to Idaho Falls. 😆 Great boondocking spot! We were only there 1 night and got our potato museum picture (didn't get to visit because it was closed in the evening and we left before it opened in the morning) Thanks for video! 😀 And Scout is too stinkin' cute! One of my whippets loved bananas, but not enough to steal them off the counter! 😄 Scout's a monkey! 🐵🍌🤭

[@NewstateNomads]

Aww darn, that's a bummer you didn't get to visit the museum but at least you got your potato picture! 😂 Scout sure is a monkey! We keep calling her that now... it's so funny!!

[@DeanJohnson67]

as a Carbivore two thumbs up !!

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha yesss! All the carbs! 😂🥔 Thanks for tuning in Dean!

[@Pinky121971]

Enjoyed your Videos, Covers everything from Historic , Cultural and food too. Stay safe, looking forward to see your next vids.

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much! We love sharing all that we learn and experience, so glad you enjoy our style of storytelling. Thanks for watching! -Katelyn

[@tarac5137]

Hahaha Scout! No way I could be mad at her. How does she peel the bananas??? That is so crazy a bear ran into the RV and climbed on the CR-V. Mmmmm fudge.

[@NewstateNomads]

Us either, she's just too cute. You could see how guilty she felt too. Haha. We aren't sure exactly how she's doing it... we've had several requests for a hidden camera video to see how she does it 😂

[@lindagolden9892]

Katelyn - You have the sweetest bubbly personality. Thoroughly enjoyed your Idaho travels. Would luv to see a sneak peek of Scout peeling a 🍌. Happy travels... 🚌

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Linda! Aw thank you so much for the sweet comment! ❤❤ And yes! We want to see how she does it too! She's so precise with it 😂 We might have to set up a camera and see! -Katelyn

[@b1mfua33]

What an adventure both of you had!! Love the potato museum.The candy shop just looked so yummy!! Fudge!! Poor Scout.lol. She loves her Nanas,what to do.haha... Idaho is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for that. To have a bear roam around your RV at night,exciting isn’t it. In the country,here where I live,I have only seen 2 bears.They are very elusive. Loved this adventure!! Stay safe. See you soon.

[@NewstateNomads]

I was eating a banana earlier and she ran across the RV as soon as I peeled it 😂🍌 she's so funny! Yes, Idaho is beautiful! We ate so much there 😂 so glad you enjoyed this video, it was a fun week!! Thanks for tuning in! ♥️ -Katelyn

[@nbragtop]

What a way to enjoy the morning, sipping coffee and being with ya'll. First Bible study then going with you as our own personal travel angels showing us the beauty of God's creation. Have ya'll ever been called "Travel Angels"? God works in great and mysterious ways. Thank you!

[@NewstateNomads]

What a wonderful compliment, thank you so much! Can't say we've ever been called that, but that's so sweet! Glad you enjoyed this episode! Wait til next week! 😍 -Katelyn

[@bonnieharris5916]

Excellent Idaho video. I have not spent much time in Idaho camping I have added it into the rotation.

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Bonnie! It is definitely one of those states that will surprise you! Glad we could help inspire a new place to check out 😄 -Katelyn

[@peacefulwife5199]

Howard says, "This is not "a-peeling"......Good one Howard. LOL.... Scout is a nana-addict. I hope Scout doesn't get the poops. 😖😳😖

[@NewstateNomads]

Hahaha, he was so proud of that joke 😂 luckily she didn't 😳😂 her tummy must be used to them. So funny!! 🍌

[@genesiesky3756]

Do you carry high intensity spotlights? Whenever I felt a bump in the night I would turn on my outside light and headlights, and grab my big flashlight. Once, when I was parked just outside of Estes Park, Colorado, I awoke to the sound of snorting. When I turned on my headlights I discovered that I was surrounded by a herd of Elk, must have been 30 of them, completely surrounding my vehicle.

[@NewstateNomads]

Wow!!! I bet that was quite the surprise to turn the lights on and see all those eyes looking back at you! 👀 We have an outside spotlight and headlamps, nothing high intensity though. That's a good idea! -Katelyn

[@jacksanders7029]

The dogs didn't react to the bear?

[@NewstateNomads]

Piper and Ella were sound asleep...Scout heard it and was definitely spooked. But none of them barked! 😂 Great guard dogs, huh?

[@dollyla229]

I think I've seen that dairy in other videos. Isn't it a Harvest Host member? I thoroughly enjoyed this week's video and am looking forward to next week when you visit the Grand Tetons. They are so beautiful! Have a great week!

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Dolly!! Not sure about the dairy being a harvest host location, but it sure was yummy! Yes! The Tetons are incredible, that will be a great video. Can't wait to share! 🙂 -Katelyn

[@chucksiler2524]

Really enjoy your videos. My ears really perked up when you mentioned Rexburg and talking with Nate. Are you familiar with a huge case he is working with. About a terrible lady and the things she has done with her kids etc. He has done a great job. To me he should win some king of award.

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Chuck! Thanks so much for watching, yes definitely aware of that big case. He's done a great job with it... he's one of the best reporters I know. Agree with you on the award! -Katelyn

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

A dog that peels bananas now that's different 🤣😂

[@NewstateNomads]

So talented 😂 She's always surprising us!

[@ericvaneck4296]

I think Scout will get fudge tonight when you aren’t looking:) lol

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha!! Scout has definitely learned how to find a few goodies in the RV. We have to be strategic now on where we place things!

[@maxx529]

We need a scout peeling bananas secret cam vid !

[@NewstateNomads]

We've had quite a few requests for this, we might have to make it happen! 😂

[@moretoknowshow1887]

That Scout is such a silly dog!! My cat did something similar with bags of Jerky. Hoping she’s a regular doggo ;)

[@NewstateNomads]

She's so funny!! Oh no, jerky!? That's funny, didn't know cats liked jerky. 😂

[@bishopadvisorygroup656]

Hey, Howard and Katelyn. I love your channel. What an incredible way to live. When my kids are out of the house, it’s how I plan to live. Just curious, what led you to this lifestyle? Did you sell everything except what fit in the RV, or did you put some things in storage for when you come off the road? Keep up the great videos and be safe!

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi there! Thanks so much for the kind words. It was a culmination of things that lead us to travel full-time, but luckily we're both able to work remotely and once that was secured, we knew RVing was the way to go! We do have a storage unit in Florida. We had just moved to Miami and bought all new furniture when our situation changed, so we've kept in for future use. :) -Katelyn

[@edrumsas5420]

Great video

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much Ed!

[@lolal1026]

I'm sure Scout acquired her taste for bananas in Mexico as they are very tasty, she probably also enjoys mango. The best mango I've had was in Mexico.

[@NewstateNomads]

Me too Lola! The mangos in Mexico are SO delicious. We had them all the time on the island. And I bet you're right! Scout is so funny!

[@virginialemm864]

We visited Idaho this past August...loved it, and will probably be moving there! The falls in Idaho Falls were spectacular! Every time I see your Navion, I think of our “Lucy” Navion! What year is your’s and how long have you had her? 😍🌲🏞🌈❤️

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Virginia! That's awesome you loved Idaho that much. So exciting! Ours is a 2019, we bought in Aug. 2018, so we've been living in it full time for a little over 2 years. It's such a great rig! 🙂

[@virginialemm864]

Newstate Nomads absolutely it is! Our’s is a 2016 bought in 2015. It is the “M” model basically like your “D”, but bed and dinette are switched...your bed folds down and our is a fold’ N tumble sofa turning into a bed. Everything else seems the same. Love, love, LOVE the floor and counter space she has! I wouldn’t get rid of her for anything...power diesel motor, Mercedes quality, terrific fuel mileage, and she can fit in just about any space you want. Any trouble by taking her on those rough and bumpy back roads? I was squinting and oooh-ing watching some of those dirt “paths.”!

[@joanneolson9026]

Idaho Falls is our home loved seeing it from your point of view. Great video

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Joanne, what a beautiful place to call home! We loved visiting. So glad you enjoyed our video. 🙂 Thank you for watching! -Katelyn

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Maybe it was a Sasquatch? 😂

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha, could have been! 😂 Definitely something big and furry!

[@kylepifer9509]

Put your bananas in the microwave the higher the better. Your camping site looks very much like the trees are used by the bear to scratch his back. And was probably trying to figure out what you were doing in his spot or he smelled bananas 🍌😆.

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha, that's a great idea! We started hanging them on a hook that's mounted to the wall for our hanging produce bags and so far, that seems to be out of reach for her. 😂 Yes, perhaps it was a banana loving bear!!! 😅 Too funny!

[@carolynknisely2383]

When she was hungry she learned slot. Had to take care of herself.
