[@0HARE]

[@billbaxter2914]

You live in a beautiful state Eric. Have fun.

[@christianhancock4019]

Wow! Nice spot. Washington is such an amazing state. Thanks for showing it off my friend. Safe travels.

[@ArtisticImpressionsbyBobRouth]

This is so cool Eric....I camped where you are in 1970 it was the last summer before they built the dam on the Wynoochee river. Great hiking trails in the area too. It used to be a great fishing river....rainbow trout behind ever big rock in the river. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. great video and your right about what you said about you recording schedule. You've got a great show don't change a thing

[@CDubsJourney]

Beautiful area! The running water calming. Thank you for sharing.

[@maurirish1]

I agree. I enjoy just seeing your videos about your adventures and tips.

[@sluggo8633]

Georgeous! Stick with every other day, makes the fans appreciate it more!

[@Ralphieisthegreatest]

I used to hunt up there in the 80's. Beautiful country up there! Thanks's for sharing!

[@frankleonguerrero]

Great video! Makes wanna visit all my friends and relatives throughout the state. I look forward to doing what your doing. Wishing you continued success. BLESSINGS

[@andew8922]

Lord knows i couldn't stand to film myself on camera and ramble about stuff thanks for sharing the world with us and your experiences you go through

[@edwardwoods5977]

wow what a beautiful place. I love hearing the birds in the background. where I live in Louisiana I use to hear birds all the time. nowadays not so much. over numerous years I would see dead birds that just fall from trees or the sky I don't know which but maybe both. I use to see leopard frogs daily ... I haven't seen a leopard frog in many many years

[@ClearAdventure]

Same in NM, we used to almost walk over the lizards known as horned toads, everywhere, now we feel lucky to see one at all.

[@sinceremilkoftheword9754]

That looks like an awesome place, there are just so many good things about it.

[@MegaTriumph1]

Stay on the west coast Eric. A life time of exploring. Great video.

[@sparky42]

Lilly is beautiful and she gets along so well with Jax because Jax is cool and goldens are the absolute most wonderful breed of K-9 there is . I know because it is the only breed we have owned for the past 30 years. Their temperament and disposition is extraordinary. Good video by the way Erik

[@ChristineBEACHCRICKETLowery]

Really like this place! So peaceful and just beautiful!

[@kb5zcs]

Thanks for showing us this great park Eric......

[@godiskungen27]

I like the dog she was so cute Love dogs nice to see youre all happy and enjoying life Eric Best regards Marcus

[@quarteracreadventures855]

Lilly seems like a very sweet dog. Glad you had fun.

[@karenromiah5387]

Hey I am from Port Angles washington, Moved to california in 1989, to San Jose, now I live in Palm Desert california. I drove the bus clallam county transit from port angeles to forks, and Neah Bay. brings back memories seeing you there.

[@CampervanKevin]

I really liked this video.

[@capttzuzu]

OMG yes you made it I love that area Forks and Le push is so pretty up there the islands right off the ocean like James island . Have fun Eric.

[@NoProGoPronto]

Awesome location Eric. Keep living your life like this as long as you can... :-)

[@Tampo-tiger]

I would struggle to ever leave that beautiful place. What can the world possibly offer that is better?

[@mib_vodkte1036]

You are litterally living my dream life!, sick van, brewskis and chilling by the river could not get any better than that! im in the uk and thinking about doing it over here when i move out, just not half as beautifull as washington. i hope one day ill be out there, never know aha

[@debmarie55]

Beautiful area, great camping spot. Jax has a friend :)

[@zachharper2140]

nice dog. looks like you have a nice camping spot

[@anAHDAMofYAH]

Oh man, You & Jax both were really lucky. Jax had his leash still on & it could have gotten tangled up in briars or anything & it would have been certain death for him over time, if you had not of found him. But that didn't happen & you did find him. I'm so glad you found Him.

[@TheFreedomTheory]

We were in that area not too long ago! If you have time or haven't been Neah Bay is awesome! Very cool camping spot! Cape Flattery is stunning!

[@webtomboffgrid9725]

Been watching for awhile. Enjoy your channel. Really want to travel all across this land see everything. Hopefully in 3 to 4 years when my son goes to collage. Thanks for the vids....

[@mattrobison4079]

What a beautiful place thanks for sharing

[@TonyBSyr]

Some of those propane regulators are tricky. If you turn them on too fast, the regulator assumes it is a leak and shuts down, however if you turn it on slowly, they will work.

[@soloillya]

Geez. Im down here in Florida. I'd be at that spot every weekend! Thanks for the video.

[@Lord_Stinkfoot]

dude. don't pay attention to negative stuff. great channel

[@MethosFilms]

love the video. turn on the camera when u want eric. u are in control here :) i barely do any videos because not many have watched what i posted so not worth the data i used to post. data is expensive in canada. u got 30 gigs of data that is not much if u keep posting 10+ minute videos lol. glad u are home.

[@denice7878]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing!

[@397coney7]

Golden Retrievers are the best dogs, ever!

[@gregflores8959]

397 Coney German Shepherds rule!

[@dailyguidedog8432]

This is one of my favourite channels. It inspired me to start my own. I have a guide dog and I make videos. My dog says hi to Jaxicat.

[@van_demonium]

my kind of place. they were all over the place as a kid and growing up now there aren't too many.

[@thomasb9771]

Love it keep up just got back from BC Canada live Barstow Ca. Went up through Washington and Oregon.

[@miguelguzman1042]

Waooo exelente lugar y me encanto tu video , los lugares de rio montana se respira la naturalesa me antojo estar en el lugar ,, un saludo amigooo ..

[@mattbabecki6938]

looks beautiful wish I could see it in person

[@maryjayne39]

I can't wait till you get to Florida. I would love to see how it is in the winter. I so want to move there.

[@joe40867]

Love the dog!

[@AmericanWomanRV]

so peaceful looking thanx

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

Great looking site and pleased all's well with you Eric. For those interested, Eric's camping companion appears very briefly at 7:57

[@billdperry]

It always goes that way...Deadliest Catch, not really about the crab anymore, it's the people...Orange County Choppers, ended up not being about the motorcycles, it was the people...face it Eric who have become a celeb. Fellow Olympian

[@dannegeorge6442]

Nomadic Fanatic Loved the video, the new puppy that is Jax friend and the beautiful scenery. Have you thought about making a thin rope line that jax could walk out a bit further from your van. Tie from the van to the tree or whatever and he has a good bit of distance to explore. So wish he could be free like Lilly. Another great video and I get the every other day thing. Thx

[@nealdavis350]

Put up videos at whatever rate you like, Eric. They are worth waiting for.

[@billyslittlebigadventurech9050]

looks like a really nice place Eric. That waters crystal clear. I can bet its cold though :-)

[@johng4250]

beautiful spot. You get so few days like this in the northwest that you tend to treasure every one of them. Lot of rope swings here in California but alas there is only sand and rocks under them.

[@Survivalist2008]

Obscure spots are the best. Enjoy.

[@pmartin924]

Looks like a great place to camp. Love the videos. Ignore the the trolls and the hate they need to spew over everyone.

[@jaz2beme]

Thank you for your time, it is a pleasure to hear from you every other day it just make it something to look forward to and also that is a very nice place. Need you to answer a question. If you still had a choice MH or a Van witch one would you choose, I have just gotten a Van and I have a 30ft MH need to now if it is worth giving up the MH to go to the Van ? Please very up in air about it..

[@Woopwoopwill]

Hi Eric. Before you go get another LP Regulator. Double check The long hose for damage and kinking. Is there a hole in the body at the back door for the hose to go inside ? Or is it passing in under the lip and edge of the rear door and getting pinched off? Just trying to help. Beautiful spot to camp . Love it.

[@CITAP1]

There arent as many folks in the ONF because it is so far from anything or any place of consequence. You really need to be more than 2 hours from Seattle before the crowds start to thin out. Glad Jax found a new buddy even if it is a dog. In cat speak. Take care and scratches for Jax. One more thing on the propane. The auto regulator may have leak or safety valves that will shut off the propane. You may simply need to connect the lines and keep bleeding till you get pressure. I can't say whether or not that since the buddy has it's own regulator if that will be a problem. Good luck figuring it out.

[@groovinon5464]

quality over quantity always! thanks man keep it going!

[@knoopsylvia]

Always enjoy your video's

[@RAMKING61]

Keep informing us of secret, vacant, and interesting camp locations. Perhaps a list of your favorite rivers/streams in America.

[@iveyivey1298]

beautiful scenery

[@kchortu]

I believe you are correct. Those devices are already regulated, and require high pressure propane input, the auto regulator is probably taking it down to 11 in W.C. (less than 1/2 a psi). If the hose is rated for it you could run full pressure propane with it.

[@TheDUNLOP6]

You are absolutely right Eric!

[@HAF627]

Nice spot for relaxing on sunny day

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

I actually miss your daily videos but I understand your theory keep your head up stay up

[@wh8085]

Don't post often but I've got to tell you how jealous I am of this camping spot ! haha. It is beautiful ! I watch a couple of BF channels out of Washington, ever see or hear any big footed guys while camping ? 8 0 )

[@weetreebonsai]

Beautiful site!

[@jay750il6]

I liked that show too mock dodge it was intertaining I wonder why they do not show it anymore I know his last episode he was supposed to walk for months to see his daughter or something. Cannot wait to see that area soon. Take care Eric and be safe.

[@WHBJr]

Thanks again E&J!

[@SweetbearCoyote]

Would your solar handle an electric burner? Beautiful camping spot. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@ogawasanjuro]

SweetbearCoyote , it should, I think. He used to run a toaster oven off of the solar before. Eric got rid of the toaster oven just because he wasn't using it.

[@georgepurdy6493]

sanjuro ogawa He just did a vid of him running the AC. Unit does pretty well.

[@stevemurphy6046]

Solar as a rule won't support anything with a resistive or an inductive load after 2 amps for very long. A 5 amp 120 vac electrical device takes 50 amps of power from a 12 vdc battery hence the dc to ac inverter. Rule of thumb is X 10. More elaborate systems over a thousand solar watts is a whole different game changing all the rules. I've seen larger rvs with the available roof space have more than1,500 watts in solar too.

[@LambySRI]

SweetbearCoyote You could yes, but its not sustainable. Heat, and cooking appliances use huge current over 12V DC. Youd probably zap full batteries cooking one meal. No replacement for propane in that sense.......

[@cathy4800]

Check out Hobuck Beach..locals fav for surfing,sup, kayak fishing..very laid back camping with a short walk to the beach..go to Neah Bay all the way & take a left.

[@40belowful]

with action jaxton:) cool..beautiful site

[@subbstevie]

im jealous...lol, im very hot natured-born with astma-now copd,so i have to keep cool and its hard here in ne texas area.spring and fall is good for me....enjoy the spring fed rivers and lakes...

[@NateB1976]

You should invest in some tiny flies, jigs, and minnow jerk baits for the streams you camp at. I bet some of those deeper pools and pockets hold some trout that are yummy to eat.

[@SVELFARO]

A sweet spot you found, one could pass a few days there quite nicely. What is that regulator on the LP tank, should not be necessary, I have never used one when operating with the small tanks.

[@campingjoe146]

Good Video....Thank you....

[@barbarawebster6808]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. Love it. Don't see any bugs! How'd that happen?

[@tiagofgarcia]

you can adjust the gas pressure on the output port. Look at the regulator manual!

[@JG24rlzsun]

Dude I hope someday we can get up there and do some camping there. Looks really nice. :-)

[@charliestealth4238]

A 10 PSI regulator will run everything you use that takes the small bottles and not send full tank pressure inside your van (unsafe) Loved your vid

[@cactuspropane7885]

Charlie Stealth You are 100% right using a 10 psi would work best

[@PatrickWagz]

Eric what camera did you use for this video? The color and clarity in the last shots at the river were incredible. Also, Hank Hill could figure out your propane issue for ya.

[@nomadicfanatic]

Just my gopro. But I did some color correction as always

[@lasagnegurl167]

Nomadic Fanatic Hi Eric... I've been a fan of yours for a while & I really think you are a smart, caring guy. I love watching your videos & you are right doing just what you want to do. I hear people say bs & that's fine. Not everyone loves us... right?? But you just keep moving forward leaving the bs behind. We lost our home last Sept because my partner was early diagnosed with Parkinson's disease & we are fortunately to have a trailer to live in at a park for now. I would love to live off the grid & have a car we could take on weekends away to sleep in. I love nature & the fresh air & the rush of the rat race. Take care you & Jax & waiting patiently for your next vid. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia xo

[@wh8085]

Patrick Wagz LOL ! Good one !

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

Super vid well done

[@GlaneciaXCat]

I'm all super excited now, because all of your videos are in my area! lol .. and I'm a youtuber too ... it's official, we need to be youtube-friends :P

[@GlaneciaXCat]

***** well, all of your recent videos, anyways lol

[@adamgc73]

lovely looking area cant wait to visit ...how come you didnt introduce us to your friend ?

[@HRMcKee]

that is pretty sweet but rustic and secluded, and just to remote for most people today who cant be without their cell phone sadly

[@64BuzzKillington]

just and idea. Is it worth to set your generator to run off propane since you carry the tanks anyway? You could eliminate the need for a fuel can. How is Jax digesting Blue?

[@TheCSRTech]

Both your stove and your Buddy Heater use high pressure propane. They have their own regulators. You need to bypass that regulator by the tanks. Also, I thought you kept your generator in a tote. Did I miss something?

[@TheCSRTech]

patrick price You're right except the regulators for those appliances are built-in so no additional regulator is required..

[@TheCSRTech]

steve murphy The pressure in a 1 lb cylinder is the same as in a 20 or 30 lb cylinder: physics you know. The regulator for stoves, lanterns, buddy heaters etc that use 1 lb cylinders are in the gas valve that controls the flame.

[@ppger44]

I had the same problem, but, I found it was the tank gauge. Try it w/o the gauges.

[@My_Names_Not_Nigel]

I bet the campsite is listed. I was doing research on that forest just last month for a trip

[@joepreparedness212]

Eric... I had a problem with my bbq grill... Wouldn't work, I took off the tank gauge and it worked.. Just thought I'd share

[@jritter660]

Nice camping spot!

[@tracyjamestavares3255]

Thanx 4 more tips . MayB battery box ( closet thingy Bhind drive seat ) has a lot of unused space .

[@WigWagWorkshop]

Can or have crossed into Canada there on the West Coast?

[@scotthudson6181]

Mick Dodge! Love that show. xD

[@kampinkevin8889]

Looks great ! Did you find a swimming hole? I wish they had something like that here.

[@lkhfun6575]

Great place to be!

[@kartof1]

That is a great secret place to camp.
