The shot of the Walmart parking lot with the mountains behind it 👌👌👌

[@MickBethMusic]

Thanks for the shoutout bro…I was JUST in Cortez last week..wouldn’t be surprised if we run into each other soon again. Headed to Arizona now. Talk soon

[@paulabaker7728]

I love how self sufficient you are. You don't just throw food together, you prepare a wholesome meal.I like the solitude and peace out there. Lo e your videos. Stay well and stay safe. See you next time!.

[@hawkl6662]

Nothing like waking up to hearing the 80s synth

[@johnlee4177]

That was the most action packed cup of coffee I’ve ever heard made. Lol. Thought it was the start of a RAD movie trailer with that music. Lol. How to say I’m old with out saying it.

[@lw3366]

Gotta hear that "woo!"

[@aldindizdarevic1728]

Every single time when he is start to drink he is screaming haha I like it.😛

[@chasewexley8095]

Wow, the rare “double woo” video. Christmas came early!

[@riwoof]

We got a 2-for-1 on the "coffee whoo's" today. That's always a bonus. Thanks, Jonathan! ☕☕😃😃

[@idaberrones3809]

Your too funny and you don’t need a bike,I love your camper

[@88meemaw88]

Thanks for the Tofu tip and a new recipe to try. Awesome as always. Woo!!!!

[@mn399]

One of the tricks I learned in the Texas snowpacolypse last year was to use a spray bottle to rinse dishes. Use a soapy sponge to wash and then rinse it with a spray bottle. It conserves much more water.

[@RippSnortin]

Yup. I use water/vinegar mix. Or water/ hydrogen peroxide. Spray everything then wipe with paper towel.

[@michaelsalmon6436]

This is an MVR in my not so humble opinion! (MVR = Most Valuable Reply). Here is another- do not start a campfire when there is a danger of wildfire! And, every day that you camp, start that day with a prayer of thanks for those who fight fires for us. God bless them all. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

[@idaberrones3809]

I’m going to try the spray

[@robertpurdon2907]

I dig the 80’s music vibe. Your vid’s are relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@jduece13]

If you use two cutting boards to squeeze the tofu. You now have a tofu strainer. Great videos by the way!

[@Ulist2G]

Love the cooking segments…

[@reinachung6775]

Why do I look forward to the cleaning part more than anything? Somethings wrong with me LOL!

[@johnryle6917]

You have great videos luv the boondocking

[@barrybridgwood8404]

......great parting shot!

[@rigov81]

Bro I loved the 80’s music. More of that lol

[@evabermon9670]

I do love your cooking, as long as you use meat. 😊 And...I dearly love being with you on your journeys. I'm a 74-year-old widow who used to do all the things you're doing, but I can barely walk with a walker anymore. Your videos take me back to those happy days with my husband, Ron, when we were your age and older. He died at 55, after we had a wonderful 30 years together, in all kinds of natural settings. Thank you soooo much for helping me escape my sedate life. My mind is still strong, with a 143 IQ, but my body is giving up. With you, on your journeys, I can really "live" again.

[@ivanleterror9158]

I like the Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce for these dishes. Make a lot of use for the Ramen noodles, camping and at home. On the road I do prefer to use freeze dried coffee for ease of getting things done.

[@quellcristfalconer9457]

Get yourself a wooden spatula my guy! 👌🏾 It’ll be far better than using metal utensils against that cast iron.

[@briank.347]

Opening sequence was great, appreciated the work you did with the editing. 👍🏽 I was like, “ Yeah! Rocky XXVI!!! I love this one!!!”.

[@zulubeatz817]

Bro you’re going to be the next Mav man watch

[@Kadenventures]

Awesome video man! Just recently found your channel and I dig the video vibes and old school music theme lol also the slumber queen makes me want to renovate an old truck camper haha cheers!

[@londel1767]

Loved the 80's music at the beginning. I'm 54 so the late 80's was my prime. Its been down hill since then. I'm prepping a truck camper myself right now. I'll be heading out on the road full time in a few months. Maybe I'll see you out there.

[@blueman5924]

Flock of Seagulls, “I Ran”, never gets old ! 👍

[@JonathanYentch]

80s music is my go to genre. And definitely agree it went downhill from there. Enjoy your travels, see ya out there ✌️

[@tomgodheart4557]

Thats so true dude and amazing...take care and all the best for you

[@alberttu8120]

Coffee is such a vanlife staple and I like seeing all the different styles

[@DeborahLong7777]

Great job and looked delicious!!! I am not a huge tofu fan but cooked right it's great really and healthier for you! Happy trail's from Texas 💜

[@tracycole3941]

My husband and I started living in our skoolie "Ginny the Bus" 6 months ago.. We would love to meet you someday. Oh and Jonathan every new recipe from you, we call the Slumber Queen dinner. 😆 We really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

[@jimsizemore1673]

Noodles are flat - spaghetti are round!

[@00duck72]

I find that I usually cook/eat better when I'm out camping than when I'm indoors.

[@yellowstonenaturerc8518]

me too ... and I love my cast iron pan

[@JonathanYentch]

I can fully believe that. The outdoors is a great place to cook ✌️

[@DaveEPie]

When I was a van lifer- earplugs worked great for me- Where was that camp spot in the pines? Near Flag? A 250 dirt Ike is all most people need- you can find them relatively cheap- or score a mountain bike- great way to check out the area while your rig stays put. Stay around Az , Sedona- is cool. Dispersed camping out of town towards cottonwood. Prescott is worth the time also. Camping out of town- in the forest. Brew houses and great hiking in the Dells.

[@immgrntsrus]

Cast iron hot tip that will be a game-changer: Get a chain mail bottle washer/scrubber from Amazon and it’ll take anything off in seconds! You can reuse it forever, so it’s sustainable too. Also, I’m sure someone else will mention this but most places don’t allow you to move firewood from place to place for a reason. Invasive bugs can hitchhike and infect/kill the trees where you’re staying. We neeeeed the treeeees, bro! 🌲💚

[@Shadowslay3r321]

You should look into getting a front hitch with a cargo carrier for more outdoor storage space! Firewood, toolbox etc👍

[@kazumibear6683]

1:40 the world is my backyard. 👍

[@Tbpker22]

Wow, Jonathan, you sure know how to have fun!

[@glendanorman781]

We call that chili garlic sauce "Rooster" sauce (hence the Rooster on the bottle!)...good stuff!!

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Great video

[@chrisrocha2661]

Use a crumbled up piece of alluminum foil to clean out the stuck food in your cast iron skillet.

[@jeremy_beckers]

The open road is honestly the best healing medicine out there. Life is too short not to live it.

[@lorettawhite5437]

U need to buy a small wok for that good stir fry u make. 😊

[@maxineoliver7404]

Short, today.You could always redo the Four Corners.🙂 "Ghost" eh?🎶 Always, great cooking!🍜🍳🥯☕Take care!🌄🏞️

[@ounglo4406]

enjoy your videos; be safe; hope to be able just do car camping for a couple of weeks.

[@cashen7384]

Dude you've came a long way in your video production skills dang. Keep up the awesome content

[@hannahzander9541]

I would have added cashews to your tofu dish. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@cassidybalverde2765]

anybody else catch the weed crumbs on his counter when he was pulling out food? lol

[@yellowstonenaturerc8518]

another good video. I have a ? .. with cold weather on the way where are you thinking of heading?? Stay safe and happy camping.

[@kitaoden703]

Great Video wonderful camping site delicious 🍝 meal

[@sheerkhanful]

Have you ever tried cleaning cast iron with kosher salt and a paper towel?

[@deneseweatherby7378]

I use plan salt with a little oil, and foil wrap. Maybe a table spoon of oil.

[@crunchyvidsbro]

People go to the four corners to campout then be able to say they made it in 4 states at once

[@horsenaround2000]

I enjoy watching your videos, and thank you for sharing. YES, DO NOT drive in the wind if you don’t have to… it’s a pain, and not worth tipping over your rig.

[@kevinkidneyy]

Bro careful with ear plugs , you need to hear=what’s around you for safety

[@bubbalovesoatmealadventure108]

eye heart this!!

[@stevewoods8116]

This one is FREE if you ever come away from the west side of the country. Tri-State plaque where Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri all meet.

[@markhoffman4587]

Yes, earplugs are amazing to cancel out noises, especially the noise someone makes breaking into your RV..

[@antontkachenko5549]

Watching this eating pretty much same tofu veggie noodles! haha cheers

[@cwbattaglia]

Looks like you need to season your cast iron more. Add some high heat oil and burn it off (white smoke) do that 3-5 times and don’t wash it with soap and that sticking is gone. I cooked a New York Steak tonight and wiped the pan out with a paper towel because nothing stuck.

[@Atlanticmoonsnail]

I love my cast iron pan, I still think you should invest one good stainless steel skillet for easier cleanup...

[@lukepoteat9183]

The two-egg bagel sandwich is a staple around this house too! Check out the Inner Basin Trail (in the "bowl" of the San Francisco Peaks) while you're up there. Road's a little steep but you should make it up just fine. Cool camping up there too, it's Arizona's oldest (and one of only a few) aspen groves. Drive safe brother!

[@Thesaltymedic36]

I read the 4 corners are not in the correct spot but it’s now accepted as the spot. For 5 bucks, I’d stop 😂 Decent campsite Among the pines. 👍🏼

[@Annie-zf7xi]

Jonathan, I LOVE your honesty and realism. Keep doing what your doing. You need sponsorship you like coffee and good beer. Sunday morning Coffee corner sounds good and Friday night beer something. Anyway love it.

[@hasibmomen3570]

If you really want to burn those pieces of wood might as well cook on it too. It will Save your gas.

[@RJ4381]

You should have stayed longer here in Colorado so much to see so much to do , next time but anyway food looked Dalish I'm gonna have to try

[@horsenaround2000]

DUDE, that that… THOSE areas are my STOMPING GROUNDS… MAN!!! SHoulda came got me in ABQ area and I would have shown you HISTORY!!! Stuff that would have blown you AWAY!!! Never mind the 4 corners… I have some HEAVY sightings that would have knocked your socks off!!! That’s right DUDE.. but, I’m happy to see where you were… I am from SHIPROCK…

[@AsadUllah-qk5op]

nice video

[@Deekers2020]

Yep, you sure do like your hot sauce!

[@letsexploreandtravelonadis6424]

I like how you documented ordinary life in a truck camper. It's a great feeling to relax and escape for a bit. Later this month or next, I will do the same for a few days.

[@JonathanYentch]

Glad you enjoyed & thanks for watching.

[@cliffordmoselina800]

Speak about your life experiences I. Your episodes that would be cool

[@idaberrones3809]

I have kids your age,sad they aren’t into camping

[@karencharny1497]

Interesting music 🎵 🎶 pulling 🎵🎶🎶

[@fernando.3352]

Great video. For a second I didn't think we were going to get the coffee whoo! Lol

[@JonathanYentch]

Gotta build the anticipation

[@JayJay-zr3pb]

Love your videos wish you could do more tho

[@JonathanYentch]

Working on it!

[@Hamon123]

Hey John you should have went up to those’s ppl and make friends along the road theses moments shouldn’t be spent alone

[@shirleychester9922]

Love ur sound effects!! 🙌😅

[@johnnystall9683]

God, if only I could find a Slumber Queen! You should offer some Slumber Queen merchandise.

[@JonathanYentch]

They’re out there! Perhaps it’ll be coming in the near future :-)

[@hilariecalijo4643]

You’re fun to watch. Very entertaining

[@indersinghbeatbox]

How does your truck perform with that camper on there? I have been debating with going with an add-on camper (like what you have), but I don't know how good of an idea it would be for traveling on the highway + any off road trails that might cause the truck to tip over quite a bit.

[@queenlex5085]

That recipe looked so good I'll definitely have to try making it! Loved this video my guy 🤟🏾🔥

[@SuNnYdBaBy123]

How often do you use 4x4 when traveling besides the snow ?

[@yolandabonifacio8084]

Hi idol,like your vlog always.im from manila.take care always!😊

[@jameswilson9019]

Great video again. Bagel with hot sauce! You are my kind of guy.

[@juliavater4648]

Any news re Tessa, are you two still in touch

[@getlostmike]

Two "Whoos" in a video. Relax, Man!🤪

[@brianmcintyre6407]

the 80's music isn't lost on me...nice touch.

[@davidbaron6647]

U and your cooking, Always makes me hungry, working noon till midnight today at work 12:48pm in Indiana.. Oh No hope u don't need the wood later. lol

[@coleengoodell7523]

Wonderful video. You've taught me so many good cooking tricks that I am going to have to try. Once again appealed to my OCD organized clean freak side. You may have an idea how some channels can trigger anxiety when they aren't on that page. God bless and take care.

[@rockykruijskamp9975]

Like your video's dude. Love to watch where you are traveling. Greetings from the Netherlands keep up the good content love it👌🤙🇱🇺🇱🇺

[@ernierb65]

Speaking of going to the bathroom. How do you deal with bathroom and showering??

[@ericcomp7032]

Thank God 4 corners was closed for the pandemic when I traveled past. I too would of stopped even though I felt it a bit gimmicky. At the time I remember thinking how strange it was to CLOSE a line on a map. LMAO 🤣

[@91Bronco]

I know exactly where that Walmart is lol.

[@adrienne41]

Coffee woo’s now take one sip to upload. 😂 We full time RV and tow with a Tacoma. Often think about adding a cap/topper so we can do some off grid camping again. Love the simple cooking ideas! Stay safe and enjoy!

[@jmoo72]

Food looks bomb! U ever get lonely on the road??

[@Njurk]

3:31 coincidences at the back it says “simms” then I remembered the youtuber drew simms and noticed the next recommendated video is his 😂

[@toniarceo9428]

Such a relaxed adventure....live simple..live free...I ❤️ it....Aussie...Aussie...Aussie..oi..oi..oi

[@godscountry8414]

loved the intro your music selection was great I always enjoy watching your videos on the weekends i lived in my 1993 gmc sierra in my 8ft topper for 3 months up in northern Minnesota enjoyed all of it especially the fishing hope you have have safe travels and keep exploring all this country has to offer there's a lot to be seen, to much for this lifetime but it don't hurt to put a good dent in it, keep up the great content and god bless looking forward to the next video

[@SD-oi9gr]

Just buy or make (you can use almost anything to do it really) a tofu press.

[@albertmendez2260]

Got a 90’s knight rider vibe in the beginning. Very cool

[@andrewthomas9435]

So West Coast…Birkenstocks with socks!

[@JonathanYentch]

Birks + socks for the win! 🔥

[@ashley0423399993]

Add some chopped roasted peanuts to your noodles.. 🤤 =OR= add some crunchy peanut butter instead of olive oil & seasame oil. Try it, it gives that creamy nutty Pad Thai flavour 👍🏻👍🏻 OMG

[@northwoodscamperman735]

I love the buildup to your woooo! Haha I look forward to it in every video
