On to Higher Ground Sedona AZ

[@judycarey9051]

Unbelievable scenery. I could stare at those rock formations for hours. So much energy, but so relaxing.

[@JjjonesJohnJones]

well done for picking up that trash, it shows that van dweller respect their environment, and appreciate the land. uk subscriber

[@daveoverton4319]

Leaving the campground / trail cleaner than you find it is the sign of a very kind and very civilized individual. Thank You!

[@kodeywhitewolf8528]

I love seeing the beauty of this country thru your videos

[@TheDenisedrake]

Thank you so much for making these videos. Now that our kids are old enough, we want to take 2-4 weeks to do some of this. You are so encouraging!

[@iamryanlittle]

Loving the adventures, AdventureVanMan!

[@vanessaboman8143]

after the grand canyon this is one of my most favorite spots in the country. and wow, wow the town has changed A LOT since I was there, with all those roundabouts, they are so, so common here in the UK.. Brian thanks for posting this video, its like coming home for me. when I lived in AZ I came there a lot .. memories!

[@sarahy5540]

LOVE Sedona! Thank you for sharing. The red rock views from town are also quite beautiful, especially at sunset. Thank you for picking up the trash too. Wish people were more conscientious about it. Enjoy your time there and travel safe.

[@4yellowwolf]

Sedona is one of my favorite places to visit and hike. Thank you for share your journey giving me more places to visit 😎

[@Kodikat2]

Kudos to you Brian Growing up in the 60's camping was our vacation. We were taught to leave the campsite cleaner than you found it. More campers need to learn that lesson.

[@tonym5878]

Great vid Brian. Love, Love, Love Sedona. Those roundabouts weren't there 11/12 years ago. Much more rustic and nicer then. Glad you got visit.

[@vivianKimberlin]

thanks for the heads up on the maps at the welcome center and all the roundabouts. my friend and I are taking our first trip to Sedona in a couple weeks when we are at the RTR outside of flagstaff.

[@RutherfordTony]

I have heard for years what a mystic area that is around Sedona. I would love to check out someday soon. Thanks for the videos Brian. Safe travels!!

[@rgs4x]

Like yourself I always pack out more than I pack in.......Good job Brian. I wish more people would do the same.

I've always enjoyed your videos but they are just getting better and better with your editing skills. Great views out there!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Will Burson Thanks Will. Unfortunalety my old Macbook died on me recently. I got really comfortable usung iMovie. I got a new PC laptop and I am having to learn to use Sony Movie Studio. Great software but I have to learn everything all over again! Thanks to tutorials on youtube Im getting the hang of it pretty fast. Hope you are doing well, peace

[@albieshevis4473]

Such nice videos, how nice it was to see you pack out someone's else's trash. Good man you are!!!!

[@XsyntrikNomad]

That camping spot in Sedona is amazing! Thank you for picking up that camp site, I would totally do the same thing. Also - jot down Boynton Canyon Trail - it's a great hike you will absolutely enjoy if/when you come back to Sedona.

[@mallorymcguire833]

Thanks for making all of these videos!

[@ManWander]

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

Awesome views..Great spot

[@loriallen8446]

thanks for all the fantastic videos. Happy trails and ty for inspiring me and my ol man. Sedona and Quartzsite are the first two "major destinations" on our bucket list (as well as the sugarbeet harvest & Alaska.

[@aspudkicker]

Hi Brian. Lovely views. It shows your a good person leaving the campsite better then you found it. I live in a city, when I take my dog for a walk, I also take time to pick up the litter. Stay safe, healthy, happy and contented my friend.

[@forganation1342]

Good job on the video! Thanks for sharing info about dispersed camping, it will come in handy this summer when we are on our trip for 2 months.

[@Kimbopolo]

Agree that your videos are well-produced! So enjoying your adventures, van man!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Kimbopolo Thank you :) Im having such a great time out here!

[@AFewMinutesWithjman]

Beautiful location. After reaching AZ I would be afraid of not finding my way out of half the boon docking locations you find :) Thanks for taking us around. jman

[@feiz01]

love the van,,, those side doors rock man

[@SDsailor7]

Sedona is a beautiful place! nice choice Brian.Cheers

[@Higher_human1]

Great videos. With the new editing you are putting in and chill time lapse with the music your subs are bound to take off here soon!

[@darfirst]

What a fun few days. That place was awesome I'm so jealous right now!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+darfirst Pretty fun place. Still pretty cold at night...in the 30s. Nice day temps though!

[@AdventuresofMrChin]

Love your time lapse footage

[@docgannon]

That was probably your best vid man, very chill time lapse shots. I hope you get the bike man that would be awesome trails!

[@bobsvanlife8628]

Great job, beautiful place...thumbs up on picking up the trash left by others. All the best.

[@2avanman391]

Outstanding video!! Thank you for all you do. Stay safe.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Me&myRv Thanks for watching :)

[@JJF10101957]

Great video, Brian! Fantastic views.

[@ArkansasMike]

I love these videos. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Arkansas Mike You are welcome. Glad you enjoy the videos :)

[@MayhemRv]

Great video! Sounds like the elevation was getting to you. And thanks for picking up the trash left by others. I also try to leave camp looking better than I found it.

[@popestar100]

another good video Brian stunning views !

[@chococak9046]

Loved this video. Wish I could give it two thumbs way up!

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

Thank you for picking up the trash! If only everyone thought like that 🌞🌞🌞 One thing I keep running across is the local kids partying in the outlying areas and burning wood pallets. They never take the time to pickup all of the nails left over so I carry around a heavy duty speaker magnet and use a bugee cord to drag the ground. I've picked up gallon ziplock bags full of pallet nails several times over the last few years. There's also a road to the right just south of Sedona with disbursed camping and above Sedona as well... Did you know that you can drive to the Colorado river? Off of Route 66 at Peach Springs - you have to get a permit at the gas station because it's tribal land but the canyon is a beautiful drive and the river is awesome. N.B. this is where they pull out the rafts so it can get busy.

[@jimvarner49ah]

Hey Brian, another great video as always, thanks for sharing:))

[@wilreyes195]

great video, I was just in Sedona two weeks ago it is gorgeous. Lol you're right nothing but roundabouts in that town. Wish I could have spent more time there out in the desert.

[@mc5able]

awesome video .. Thanks for sharing

[@gloshafer5205]

Worked in Sedone, lived in Camp Verde, about 25+years ago. I don't recall any roundabouts back then, but not surprises, about the time I moved away development and traffic was exploding.

[@carolynclark588]

Great video thank you 🌵👍

[@RollingEarthShip]

The thing with these beautiful views is that now they look familiar to me. 👍🏻😄🚐

[@cb1504]

Good job Brian. Looks like you're enjoying the journey.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Awesome tip! I love the Sedona area. And Jerome! Have you checked that town out? It has a great history.

[@keithl6249]

great job on picking up the trash. I enjoy your videos.

[@nancyedwards8293]

Hey Brain awesome video. I have been to AZ. many times and always wanted to visit Sedona but never made it. Hope to see it one day soon. You must come and visit Yosemite sometime. You will love it.

[@michelene48]

Hi Adventure Man. I love your videos they are very informative and well done. I’m a fan! If it’s not to much trouble could you show us your video camera setup. I am putting together my stuff for hitting the road this fall.

[@francinepoirier8031]

Leaving the site cleaner than you found it. That's my boy!

[@danmiller3619]

awesome thx Brian.

[@bradleysonthemove5790]

Everyone should be as conscientious as you about trash and liter ... it would be a much cleaner place ... thanks, Brian!

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Awesome !

[@GuyLivingOffGrid]

Luv your channel! If I were young again and wiser, I would do the very exact thing as U, follow thy heart!!!

[@kenwilkes44]

great video! thanks

[@diamond_lover0954]

tanks you for video 😎😆👀حيات سعيده لك اخي الطيب ✌

[@sonomaview]

There is a place called Red Rocks slides by Sedona. It is smooth red rocks that form long slides in a river. It was rated one of the 10 top best swim holes in the USA. It was beautiful and looked really fun and refreshing. Did the ranger mention it? I think the locals like to keep it a secret.

[@Zeldagirl64]

Great area

[@TheRealMensChannel]

I think the turn about that you showed to the right was a shopping area. They have a great restaurant there that plays good live music at night. WED is the hopping night also. This interracial couple sings and packs em in. Its where the shoe sore is.

[@TheRealMensChannel]

+The Real Mens Channel yeah those rousabouts get old after a while.

[@westcoasthiker76]

Where are you headed to? grand canyon I think .... there are cool free camp spots on the North Rim side, just hanging on the side of the Canyon... maybe you've already been... cool vids, thanks

[@brizzx32]

Great video, got to admit NOT of fan of phoenix or camping around there. Fricken hot there!!

[@VagabondMango]

The scenery was almost as nice to see... as your smilin face :) you know all of us old ladies were having fun watching you on Blab a while back. I'm getting my campervan ready to roll soon. Gonna leave the Class A behind and venture out in the van. Then return to the Mother Ship. But if I think I can squeeze me and my 95 pound dog into the campervan, I might sell the Mother Ship. The van is obviously a camper. No stealth there. My biggest thing is that it might get too hot for my dog if I can't plug in my roof AC. So I'm gathering info on where to head during the spring and summer cuz Texas is so friggen hot and humid. How do you stay cool in ur van? What areas should I put on my summer list. Low humidity and cheap. :)

[@vivianKimberlin]

for heaven's sake, don't go to fl! try tennessee. it's beautiful three is the summer. check by Cherokee.

[@RenegadeTravel]

Ah, Sedona, my dream destination :)

[@magnificentobjectstarfish]

checking every day if you posted. great vid. i have doubts on that music though hahaha

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Joep van Steen hahaha

[@terrysennhenn896]

New subscriber here and nice video. I talked to a guy who's daughter is a engineer, she said they have just as many accidents on turnarounds but they are not as severe.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+terry sennhenn Welcome! Hope you enjoy my videos.

[@unsimkim2064]

Hey hi thanks for cleaning the aria .I like that about you! try eating some fruits .

[@elbaserrano1596]

Hi Brian. I love your videos. You make us feel that we are right next to you seeing everything. Question. Almost all the road are so full of rocks. Do you have to change your tires a lot? Florida here. no rocks. God Bless.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Elba Serrano Thank you for the kind words. I have off road tires on the van, they are built for the rough roads.

[@HappyHighVanGirl]

thanks great advice

[@GatorLife57]

Thumbs up Brian ! Nice area. People need to have more respect for Father CREATOR, mother earth, and their fellow humans and pickup their trash !!!! ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@jbman413]

Hey AdventureVanMan i just took a seasonal part time job at Lowe's maybe something like that would work to bridge your van camping jobs for you some just a thought

[@perkii4739]

very cool. what's the temps

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Gary Perkins High 60s, low 70s during the day. Night time temps down to the high 30s.

[@NoProGoPronto]

Another great video Brian. Thanks for caring about the environment by picking up other people's trash. The wind may have blown a little of it there, but I'm sure the wind didn't crush the beer cans. Ha-ha. Oh, and you must get yourself a mountain bike. Check Craigslist for a Free or inexpensive bike. Safe travels :-)

[@AdventureVanMan]

+NoProGoPronto Thank you. I appreciate you following along. Its been an amazing journey so far :)

[@thuan123red]

man oh man you didn't stop to help them.

[@salostanley]

Go to Devils Bridge it is really cool. Blessings Salo

[@mrich3879]

I knew that was broken arrow...off Morgan street. Driven it 100 times...never hiked it

[@vagabond-yj8pn]

Glad to see you picking up some trash. I do the same.

[@marimar445]

It's a good thing to know there is a shooting range, otherwise one would seriously wonder what the heck is going on lol

[@NomadicSociety]

sweet video! we call them round a bouts in NY also as sweet as a mountain bike would be the cops just told another Nomadic van dweller i watch that the bike is what drew them over to check him out and then the out of state license plates tell them the rest of the story~ i know that you are out there in the real boondocks mostly so this may not matter to ya~ but just saying

[@TommyboyGTP]

Awesome footage... how's the reliability of that Dodge van holding up?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Tommy TwoGun No issues with the van, fingers crossed!

[@SDsailor7]

+AdventureVanMan Beautiful sights in Sedona.Have been there before and I liked it.Cheers

[@coathanger]

great video Brian, what do you do for Internet and uploading video?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+coathanger I have a Verizon mobile hotspot. 10gigs for $80/month

[@Debrajoy]

Thank u for asking this, it is the answer to one of the pieces of my puzzle in putting Tank together for the road! 🐙

[@Debrajoy]

+AdventureVanMan Would this work for my Samsung Tab A, I wonder? 🐙

[@coathanger]

+Debrajoy i heard on another blog and I hope it happens that ATT will not be using the dish anymore on direct tv and will offer the service online with thier Unlimited data plan for direct tv users later this year. they are currently offing unlimited up to 22 GB with the service the way it is now.

[@Debrajoy]

+coathanger. That sounds awesome, I am trying to figure out how I can travel with my old Samsung phone and Samsung galaxy tab A for entertainment. If I can get Netflix that will do it! The less gadgets the better. I use a site called bookbub. They send me an email every day with several selections and at least two are free. I download to a Kindle app and have plenty to read! Thank u for the info, I plan to be full time by April 15th. Trying to work out the bugs! 🐙 Kind of u to help!

[@jazziered142]

How much water do you very and how long does it last you?

[@jazziered142]

[@vegasdavetv]

great video brian. I hate to see Trash all over to.

[@coathanger]

+vegasdavetv I think most of us are packing out our trash but it only takes one person to screw it up. Great job Brian.

[@shawngregory5879]

hey brian, maybe you have covered this, but which camera are you using?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+shawn gregory My main camera is Sony HDR AS15, also use GoPro Hero3 and Samsung HMX-F90

[@SDsailor7]

+AdventureVanMan Wish I could have gone on a real hike, I hiked on the flat road but it was nice scenery.
