I love road trips and camping as do the vast majority of your audience , not a huge surprise. But gas prices coupled with health issues. My family has had to cancel a couple of planned camping trips . And it sucks especially for the kids. We appreciate watching your videos and living a little vicariously through your adventures. Thanks Mav. Keep on truckin

[@jeffhinsdale2680]

For those who are tied down a bit more, don’t underestimate the benefits of mini road trips & camps. Find a remote spot a few hours drive away, throw a tent & some gear in your car & go for a weekend camp. Setting up a little camp, sleeping under the stars & cooking food on a fire really slows life down & is a great way to decompress from life pressures. Weekend camping can be done on any budget too.

As a working (full time, in office) mother of two teenagers and one adult child, we can't do long distance road trips but we do tons of weekend adventures and even just day trips around Washington. We stop at "new" restaurants to try local places off the map and support local small businesses. Sometimes we hit Oregon or Idaho when time allows. Really wanted to get out to Yellowstone this summer but *GAS* and the flooding happened so that got scrapped. We call our selves "local tourists", since that is what our time and budget allow for. And it never gets old! But the price of gas and everything else has gotten very old, very fast!!

[@ROZDAB]

[@CalTrask73]

Yeah, when he said $600 per week total, I thought something was wrong. If you even drove six hours per day, it would be roughly $600 per week just for the fuel at current prices (especially in a gas-guzzling pickup truck!!)---and these are prices that don't feel very stable right now, they could still go up again any time soon. I'm in a similar situation, I've been itchin' to move to a warmer state, but the prices still scare me.

@@CalTrask73 i agree but, he sometimes stays in the same local area or city for a couple days at a time spending less on gas and if he spent his money solely on food and gas that would still be 200-300 for food and 200-300 for gas.

The road trips get the views, and the views get the sponsors and the merch sales. I just started the vid but I'm going to say it's well worth it for Mav. Gas may be up, but that hasn't stopped him from owning multiple properties, multiple vehicles and a brand new MB.

[@Teppi9076]

yes, exactly

[@SweetGirl-tn4sj]

Okay Now u get who is chatting with you

[@KhouryNatalie]

Road-tripping is definitely not cheap if you choose to dine out and stay in hotels. We had a place we went to yearly and by staying at a hotel such as a residence INN and cooking our own food, what’s not provided at the hotel we would spend on average 200.00 per day including gas, hotel, cooking our food and anything else. Then we had to consider vehicle wear and tear. Now, if you don’t rent a hotel the costs drastically go down. The costs go down drastically from that if you don’t have a permanent home to pay for such as mortgage or rent and can have a house on wheels. Even if you have a house that is paid for you still have other costs associated with that home. So road-tripping can be cheap if that’s the primary only home you have, cook the food you eat, avoid hotels, and don’t drive everyday, hence why people are opting for van/bus life. What I don’t like the idea of living in a home on wheels or tent camping is that there is more of a risk of having strangers possibly with bad intentions come upon you especially at night.

I mean you started off with just your truck while living with your parents. Now you have all those vehicles, properties, and a list of experiences most people will never have in a life..I think not only is it worth it, but you made the perfect decision for yourself.

Thats why going to school for a cpsc degree and making 100k a year starting salary can allow me to fly in business class, eat steak dinners with clients and still have left over. Then again everyone has different lifestyles they choose to pick. Flying is paid for by my company along with some of my purchases for essentials on the road. Not much is out from my pocket.

[@Diffperspectives]

It is! We love your videos!😔 well watch you no matter what Mav just be you!

[@peeps-go2wh]

I agree after taking my own month long trip I can no longer see a month long family vacation the same. Roadtripping is in a class of its own.

[@Goodie247]

Don’t let this guy fool you guys, he’s absolutely loaded. I’m surprised he doesn’t have his own jet yet. Maybe that will be his next purchase while he tries to portray himself as your average Joe 😂

[@paulmadkow9143]

I mean obviously it's worth it if you can afford it right? I'm retired on a fixed income. I can't even afford to go to my son's wedding next month in the midwest. I'm in Arizona. But is it worth it? Of course it is. It's called reality.

[@LurkerDood]

🤭🤣 Mav doesn't have to worry about 💰💰💰

[@R.J.1]

Don't be be ridiculous. This guy is and was fully funded. He's already somewhat wealthy from his folks. He's a gimmick. This isn't organic without his parents money and investment. Get real. Trust me, hell flaunt his wealth in no time.

[@sherryljo]

Mav most definitely funds his lifestyle. His dad and I are raised in small farming communities and are working middle class people - Mav was brought up to take care of himself and love the outdoors.

[@R.J.1]

@@sherryljo Lmfao! As if his parents aren't a launching pad. They're home is in the videos. To think he started from nothing, without help is hilarious. Dude makes videos and sells merch. To think his folks didn't enable him is dim.

[@williamritter4006]

You lost me bro. I miss the old shows Fishing and low budget . You have a fleet of cars rental properties. A nice sports car . Be honest with your followers . Just start a food show take some cooking classes .

[@mubii1126]

You idiot you gave me a heart attack. Don't do that. Stay here. Your channel is my only spot on the internet where I can lay back and chill. Keep on truckin', Mav!

[@davidmackenzie5971]

There is one thing you need to remember, the money you are getting off KZbin add revenue 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 if you were not getting that I would agree with you 😉

[@michaelsklaver5490]

I used to be a subscriber to your channel, but I'm sick of watching you sleep in the back of your truck. Hope you can come up with some more interesting content.

[@OUTLAWBBQ]

Yes this is me. I'm a hotshot freight runner and I do on average 110,000 miles a year and spend upwards of 1,500 a week just on diesel alone. Foxtrot Juliette Bravo!!!

[@Alex_Voss]

Is road tripping even worth it anymore? is losing 2.1m followers worth it mav

[@jaxripper251]

This guy wow complaining yet made 3.5 million last year in revenue off you tube. Cry me a river boy 👦

[@Panda-er4nd]

Saving money or not, burning so much gas on road trips is not excusable. It is OK to travel for experience once in a while but making it as a profession is a plain no no for me.

[@bagelthug]

I feel like KZbin stop suggesting me Mavs videos so I had to look it up myself… So I just hit the notification bell I guess

[@jayevday23]

Saying you purchased a beyond expensive vehicle and are worth over 1 million from doing youtube. You have no excuse to complain. I drove from Maine to Maryland and it only cost 150 bucks one way. Imagine a millionaire complaining about fuel prices. Or you could just get a regular job, whatever that would be!

[@dc-yu9mv]

Yoo Mav last time I watched you was well over a year ago, insane you popped up in my recommendations🎉!

[@Mania26]

Stop complaining, you earn well, you are rich!

[@BinauralBae]

New rule. Whenever the price of gas goes down you need to thank Biden because the logic goes both ways.

[@benyd11]

You say roadtripping like every one has a van life setup and 4-6 weeks to drive across country

[@dsadams17]

So many "geniuses" who think the President controls global gas prices. It's okay, the "I Did That" stickers work both ways.

[@jeffc9713]

Why would it matter it makes so much from KZbinrs who he never even replies to lol
