This Place Is FREE CAMPING Heaven! (SUV Camping/Vanlife Adventures)

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for the support and kind words, everyone!

[@catlovesGod]

I vote yes for the travel camper/cabin! That sounds like a great idea! I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work! Prayers of comfort for you and family on the loss of your Dad. 🙏✨💖

[@Audion]

A camper would need a suspension lift for clearance.

[@RVingwithG]

I have always wanted to take a harbor freight trailer and build it out bigger stronger and make it into a teardrop camper trailer. I vote yes so you build one out to pull behind your car.

[@NickGrowsVeg]

I lost my dad a couple of years ago to the same thing...he was only around for 2 months past the diagnosis. Up to a few months before that, he could out-hike me (and my kids) any day and he often did. Mom passed over a decade ago...both so much younger than I expected, both to cancers. I hope you're able to make the most of the time you have left with your mom...not to sound morose...but we never really hung out with and spent so much quality time with Dad until Mom passed. It can be an opportunity to fix things...it makes you reflect. It's good you work outside...nothing's more healing, except time. Take it easy on yourself.

[@skywoman7125]

From a 67 year old native East Texan born & raised in the flatlands but with mountains in my heart: love your videos. Like you, my dad instilled in me a love of travel, mountains and adventure, beginning with our first trip out west in 1965. One of the last trips he took with us -- the whole family -- was down the Greys River Canyon Rd and we camped along the way. Long before internet and KZbin, I spotted on the map what looked like a cool dirt road and daddy said, 'Let's go'. Thanks for reviving a wonderful memory for me.

[@zackdemundo]

My condolences. Your Dad _had_ to be proud of your work on this channel.

[@newtovwbuggysmallfrye3608]

Your dad must have been proud knowing you show so many people happiness

[@davkatjenn]

Tristan, I loved the way that you talked about the river. It strikes a chord with me as I talk to animals and to trees. It just makes me feel as though I am never truly alone and makes me feel much more connected to my environment.

[@susano7587]

I am so sorry for loss of your Dad. My Daddy was my hero and when I lost him in 2001, my heart was broken. The video was awesome!!! I want to go there for sure!! ❤️🥰😘

[@jangreen5549]

My condolences on the loss of your Dad, Tristan. I'll be interested in hearing more about him, and your mom, as well. Yes, seeing you build a low-cost camper would be great!

[@gumotx]

Ditto! And with a small trailer you wouldn’t have to change your channel name since you would be RVing with your SUV! God bless you, Tristan!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Jan!

Sorry for the loss of your father, God bless you my friend.

[@darlenemoak63]

Another gorgeous video, Tristan. So sorry about your Dad. My sister had glioblastoma. She was 62. She died in 2019. I miss her every day. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place!

[@cowgirlhippiechick9911]

Im so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. May his memory be a blessing.

[@timoeland6159]

I too lost a parent recently, my Mom passed away 2 months ago on July 10th, she was 90 years old. I introduced her to your videos, and she greatly enjoyed them, I sent her a link to your video every Saturday morning. I miss her, as I'm sure you miss your Dad, and I miss sending her a link to your adventures. May God comfort you, as He comforts me, at this time of your loss!

[@robertross2596]

Everything about your Grey's River drive was beautiful and thought provoking. The view of the aquamarine color of the lake was topnotch! Your sequeway from the burial site of the woman who died along the trail to your father's passing was touching. You honor him with your videos. In July, I lost my good friend, hiking and travel buddy to cancer. He battled for 10 years before joining his wife. I look forward to hearing more about your father. Your adventures are so much more than mere travelogs. Thank you.....

[@SUVRVing]

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Robert. That was one good thing about my dad's passing-it was over relatively quickly. 3 months from the time he was diagnosed until he was gone. Enough time to come to terms with him going, but not so long that his suffering felt drawn out.

[@FeMiNem-Poet]

Condolences for your dad.🙏 Thank you for your Video and all the info!!☮️🌺

[@anitasimmons3599]

So sorry for your loss. It is never easy loosing a parent. It's great you got to spend some time with your father at the end of his life here on earth. With time you will be able to remember the time you spend together with out the pain of loss. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Safe travels.

[@olgaguer6443]

Please accept my condolences for your dad. He can be proud of such a son with pioneer spirit. Always enjoy your video.

[@sharondavis8003]

Sorry to hear about your dad, Tristan. Glad he started his son loving the outdoors because we all benefit from your great videos. Beautiful area around the rivers but as soon as you said the word “ hike” the skies opened up. Love your enthusiasm especially in a new area for you to experience with us. Great trip! 👍🏻to the little camper idea. 🙋🏼‍♀️👍🏻

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Sharon! Yeah, the weather was great until I got out of the car 😄

[@LostOnLandAgain]

All that beautiful land to camp on and enjoy yet you never see another soul. Paradise! Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I can't imagine how proud he was to have you for a son.

[@geothefisher]

My condolences on the passing of your father. My passion for the outdoors was also inspired by my father. He passed from cancer about 11 years ago. He loved camping and fishing as well as hunting. He loved taking my sons camping and fishing. He got to pass his love of the outdoors to his grandchildren as his father did with me. I found your channel when my youngest son and I decided to try Tenkara this year which also led me to this channel. I was going to buy a new truck this year, but after being inspired by this channel, my wife and I decided to get a new Ford Bronco Sport to replace our aging Chevy Trailblazer. She wants do deck it out with an awning and a tent for the back of it and take our grandson out camping on the free camping sites all over Pennsylvania. It's time for this Pappy to start sharing my love of the outdoors with our first grandson like my father and my grandfather did. Thank you for having such inspiring, family friendly channels here on KZbin!!!

[@patriciafranson7198]

What an emotional video. I’m truly sorry about the loss of your father. Obviously he (and your mother) did an amazing job of raising you and sharing his thirst for adventure. It must be wonderful knowing how supportive he was of your quests for beauty, history and inspiration. Therefore I thank and honor your father’s memory for what he instilled in you and love that you share with all of us so freely. Hugs and prayers of comfort to you, your mom and all of those who loved or cared about your father.

[@lauriwilken3706]

So glad you were able to spend extra time with your dad while he was still here- a blessing for both of you ♥️

[@annieyahu676]

My condolences for you and your family . I lost my Dad a few years back. We used to travel all over the United States for many years... all kinds of adventures. Love and blessings to us 🙏 ❤️

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Lost my Dad in 2019 remember the things you both love and he is always with you. Thanks for sharing

[@joandonnelly7206]

Tristan, my deepest condolences to you and your family. A loved ones passing is heartbreaking but we must be thankful for the time we had with them. Thoughts and prayers for you all.

[@Barley150]

When you got caught in the rain/hail without a jacket and just had to wait under that tree, I thought, "You lucky, lucky SOB!" What a Saturday morning joy it is for an old house-bound man to join you on these great adventures!

[@SUVRVing]

Lol! Yeah, no complaints about having to sit out the rain and hail. All just part of the adventure! Thanks CB.

[@josephmartin1540]

Shoot, here in Texas that muddy of a river is almost clear... at least in a lot of places! Oh, and, cinematically speaking, the way you showed the atlas and the phone together was GREAT! Im connected with disaster relief: "It's fine until it wasn't." Yep. Yep. Yep! This area has intrigued my imagination since... well, it was in the 1960s! Have yet to make it back! Man, God bless you in the grieving process!

[@keithbrookshire]

I've always liked that you start your videos with the red dot on the map of the US to show your approximate location. I thought is was a nice touch in this video to show the detailed route on the Topo map and Atlas. I'd be interested to see you build your own camper for SOME content but hopefully you would still do mostly SUV RVing. My condolences on the passing of your Dad.

[@terryholt1832]

Yes, sorry for your loss. I camped along the Grey one trip with my son. We joined the river at Alpine just like you and went in several miles. Stayed on night as it was along the way to GT, Jenny Lake and points north. An epic time we will cherish forever and now you've shown us enough to return for more. Thank you.

[@waynefirman882]

I love your videos regardless of what vehicle you use, it is your character, style and destinations that keep me coming back. The past five years I have traveled all over the west and southwest primarily visiting the areas that your channel has exposed. THANK YOU (Bild it and we will come).

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Wayne! I'm glad I can be useful 😄

[@stanbyme7874]

Please let me tag onto this comment. Thank you for all you do (except eat Little Caesars!)

[@dixielambrecht7009]

So sorry for your loss. Even when it's expected it still hurts. What an amazing area and interesting history. Thank you for sharing.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Dixie!

[@mesocyclone2004]

I watch your videos because of the outside world you explore. So a trailer or not makes no difference to me, just take me along on your explorations!

[@kimmillynn2161]

I would love to see you sit down and show us exactly how you plan you trips. Step by step. I’m so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. May he Rest In Peace and may you and your family have peace in your hearts and remember all the memories with him.

[@RuggedRunnerOverland]

Sorry to hear about your father's passing Tristan. A couple years ago my step father passed and a few months after I lost my mother, which lead me to abruptly stop making videos until I could get my mind right...so I respect the fact you are still able to continue on making high quality videos for us all to enjoy. As for the small camper, I wouldn't mind seeing it featured occasionally on the channel and you should certainly do a video series of the build since a lot of viewers would probably be very interested in that kind of content.

[@janaspencer6008]

Deepest condolences Tristan. I know your Dad had to be so proud of you. The quality of your videos compares to none. I'm grateful that your father instilled the love of the great outdoors in you. Prayers for you and your family.

[@charlieswearingen500]

I recently lost my beloved wife to cancer. With the loss of a loved one yet so fresh in my heart, you have my deepest sympathies, and may God's loving comfort soothe your family.

[@anotheramy71]

Sorry to hear about your dad. It's great to hear that he was able to watch you travel and have adventures!

[@natlovell122]

Stunning scenery! Truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Nat!

[@freedomdove]

Beautiful area, Tristan. I'm sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He's surely proud of you for all the adventuring and sharing you do. 🙏

[@dougoverhoff7568]

Whadaya mean? Pizza is the breakfast of champions! 😆 BTW, I love your videos, they're so informative, good video graphics, & just very well done. Thanks!

[@RicG.]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I know it's tough. While my Dad is still alive, my Mom and brother passed away in the past few years. Would love to see videos of you camper build and subsequent adventures. And thanks for all the great boondocking spots!

[@chrismullin8304]

That hurts. Hang in there Ric. :-/

[@markb9347]

Awesome area! Kudos to your dad for his encouragement and support. May he rest in peace.

[@philwatson3646]

So sorry to hear about your father. That’s a tough loss. I would LOVE to see a video of a small camper build. Fantastic! Thanks for all you do!

[@michaelh2797]

My condolences on the loss of your dad. My dad also was instrumental in my love of the mountains. I just found your channel, and it’s like it was made for me. I’m obsessed with the mountain west, even though I’ve only been to NM and CO. I don’t SUV camp, but have a small trailer. Now that I’m retired, I hope to see more! Thanks for sharing.

[@hirschikiss22]

My condolences on the loss of your dad. I loved this video so much. I lived in Afton WY as a kid and dad took us up Greys River several times every summer. I haven’t been back since and it was wonderful to see it unchanged in your video.

[@alicial6072]

My condolences on the loss of your father, my mom died from the same type of brain cancer 6 years ago, I'm glad you had time to spend with him before he passed.

[@GratefulOverlander]

RIP Dad. You raised a great man

[@damonbilling7746]

I got caught in an unexpected torrential downpour here in Colorado. I had about 3 pounds of mud on each shoe, coming back down the trail. Now, like you, I always keep a poncho, & space blanket. I also got caught in the darkness of Moab without a flashlight, lost on a trail. Both of those experiences really changed what I keep in my pack now. I even keep a super light, tiny pack with bare essentials, for those unexpected hikes I take on a whim. I lost my dad in 2001, early Christmas morning. My heart goes out to you, & your family. You're a big inspiration to a lot of us, to get out there and enjoy God's creation. Stay safe.

[@galensmith1257]

First, my condolences on the passing of your father, that’s a hard trail to follow. With respect to your DIY towable build, yes cool to see what design you create for your purposes. I also drive a Rav4 and pondered this issue. Towing anything is a hassle, that’s the main disadvantage. Unless you can stand up, that’s another disadvantage. I finally settled on a Gazelle T3 hub tent, 2-3 minute setup and a Gazelle Gazebo. Total cost was about $600.00. I finally decided if I can’t stand up and if I can’t cook inside then a towable isn’t for me.

[@ourcolonel1685]

I agree. A stand up trailer that you don't unhitch to use is the only way. Just want to sleep with no fuss.

[@sanjo6224]

I’m sorry for your loss Tristan. Your dad left a wonderful legacy in you. We have a small travel trailer so we enjoyed seeing a place we could take it to camp off grid when we have more time in the future.

[@Marielenas]

OMG Thank You for mentioning ur Father and his influence. My Mom passed not long ago (10mo)and I miss her so as she inspired me more than she could ever understand. I now don't feel so alone. Thank You

[@Deanna52ish]

We are putting this trip on our bucket list. Very sorry for your loss Tristan. Would love to hear about your Dad and would love to hear about a new set up plan.

[@watuzi]

Sorry for your loss, Tristan. I'm glad you got to spend time with your old man in the end. God bless you.

[@ceceliaroberts1475]

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! Being house bound for the time being, I live vicariously through your travels. Very sorry to hear about your dad, my father and I were both the adventurous ones in our family as well. Condolences to the rest of your family as well.

[@dave64340]

You’re making your dad proud as you will your children someday

[@amynelson9362]

What an amazing place that I never knew about before! I would love to go camping there! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, Tristan! Your dad left quite a legacy of adventurousness in YOU that we viewers are so glad you can share with us. Sorry to hear of his passing. I can relate, I lost my dad to cancer when I was 31 and my mom to cancer 8 years later. It will get easier - just keep those good memories alive and know that it will take time. You, your wife and your mom and family have my deepest sympathy.

[@patsikora5169]

Tristen, I’m so sorry about your Dad.He’s always with you.He’s going to be loving all your adventures together ❤️

[@patsikora5169]

I would love to see you build a like cabin

[@rvboondocker2559]

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your father. He was obviously a great dad and nurtured you well, and you certainly made him proud.

[@kevinr5187]

Seeing a river from beginning to end is satisfying.

[@MD.ImNoScientician]

I'm sure it may sound trite but I am sorry for your loss. My brother-in-law is a military veteran. He was lucky enough to return from battles alive. He pointed out these observations to me. 1) None of us get out of this life alive. 2) That if we live beyond 50 or more years, that we've all had a pretty good run at our lives. 3) Lastly, be grateful for that which we do have. I've always admired your treks in this life of yours. Be well

[@rnelsontn]

You and I have a great deal in common, except that I am 78 years old and after many solo trips to Southern Utah, etc., I still cannot get enough. Have made trips beginning with tent camping, vehicle camping, popup trailer, tow behind RV, large 5th wheel RV, and this spring, I plan to head back with truck bed camper. Really enjoy your videos. Only problem is: so much to see; so little time!! Keep doing what you're doing. Stay safe and healthy. God bless.

[@tracybaker144]

I really love your videos. I look forward to watching them each weekend, So sorry for your loss. My dad pasted a year and a half ago. It's a hard thing to endure. Watching your channel has inspired me to do some adventuring of my own. I took my 2012 rav 4 to the bad lands and parts of South Dakota this spring. Thanks for your effort and work that you do.

[@jennicasalyards6277]

I'm so glad you were able to spend time with your dad before he passed. I'm sorry for your loss. The camper idea seems very interesting.

[@juliafromwisconsin]

I am sending my condolences Tristan, sounds like your father really influenced you to be the sort of young man that you are. Thanks so much for your terrific videos. Yes, I would love to see you make a cabin/trailer. I built out my van myself using wood, much of it was repurposed wood!

[@erick6715]

Hey BROTHER…. Sorry to hear about your Dad ….sounds like you learned a lot about the outdoors an you are definitely carrying on in his footsteps….Your Dad is watching an has a BIG SMILE…

[@garygrice7399]

As usual, a great intro to an area most of us know nothing about. Thanx for the trip and letting us know this is truly available to most of us!

[@storeytwinb]

I'm sorry about your dad's passing, Tristan. What a blessing that you spent that valuable time with your parents ❤️

[@debmarie55]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. My deepest sympathy. To answer your question about a camper build out, yes, would love to see you to a small towable.

[@davkatjenn]

Thank you for covering such a wonderful area of the country that never gets mentioned. I also thoroughly enjoyed the information on the Lander Cutoff and the Oregon Trail. It also saddens me to see the grave sites of people who never made it to the end of their dreams. Maybe some of those people were related to us, maybe not, but maybe there are some of our relatives who are buried along the wagon trails of their dreams. It always helps to remember these people and what they sacrificed for us who are here now. I was really sorry to hear about your loss of your father. The way that you have talked about him he must have really loved you and must have been so proud of you.

[@jamesrichardson1326]

I'm very sorry for your Da's passing Tristan. Much respect and condolences to you and family

[@sagensandone6906]

Oh this is an area I trek through often. I have a little property just on the other side of the Salt River Range. You did a wonderful job of portraying its beauty and its history. So sorry about the passing of your father. Being out in nature and honoring his memory is cathartic in your grieving process.

[@websterbarstone]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your father, Tristan. Thanks for sharing this great drive. My favorite part was all the dispersed campsites.

[@martinolsen5040]

My condolences! Wherever you go your father is there with you. Great video.

[@thewanderingtraveler8984]

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I know he is still e enjoying your videos. love watching your channel and seeing all your adventures. you are an inspiration to all.

[@M.Campbell]

My most sincere condolences for the loss of your father. It's difficult to lose a beloved parent. Instilling, in you, your appreciation of nature is a wonderful legacy from him. I'm sure he was very proud of all you've done, and continue to do, to promote the wonders and beauty of nature.

[@Shacgyver]

So sorry to hear about your dad. My stepdad had the same type of brain cancer. It was very tough. My sincere condolences.

[@kathleenhoward7070]

So sorry for your loss. Glad you were able to spend some time with him. Thank you for taking me along on your WY journey. It is the place I call home although I only spent 6 years there in my youth. I go back as often as I can. But since I'm an old woman now I don't make it as often as I once did. Thanks again for taking me 'home'. Be sure to carry bear spray! You probably do already. Also watch for flash floods camping by the river. They can overtake you in an iinstant.

[@209islandgirl]

Your videos make me want to follow in your footsteps. Thank you so much for a wonderful adventure. 🙏🏽

[@makeitmakesense5577]

AMAZING! Absolutely Amazing! Than you for taking me along..I loved every minute of it! Sorry to hear about your loss...your Dad sounds like a great man & he gave the world a great gift in You. NAMASTE ! 🙏

[@shaftermike]

This video had lots of good details, from an explanation with map of the area, the interesting geographical story of 3 watersheds, and the pioneer history. Thanks! Also, sorry to hear about your father passing away. Glad he gave you the adventurous spirit!

[@SkepticalRaptor]

Sorry to hear about your dad. As a cancer survivor, I know what he and your family went through. Cancer sucks.

[@philgriswold2133]

I like that you went into detail, including a map, about where you were and where you were going. Anytime I watch an adventure video, I have Google maps open to follow the route, you made it even easier. When I'm on an adventure, I always try to imagine the life and thoughts of the people that were there before me. Often, I try to imagine their hopes and dreams as they were on the path to wherever they were headed. Great location and a nice video that allows the viewer to feel part of the place. It's always tough to lose a parent, but it seems like he lives on through your adventures.

[@johnc6228]

I'm very very sorry to hear about your dad. I bet he was proud of you and impressed by your adventures. My dad passed away in December and I always remember him fondly as the one who constantly took me fishing and was my biggest supporter of my hiking and camping across the country. He would have been impressed by all you do.

[@katz4dancing]

So sorry for the loss of your Dad, I’m sure he’s up there bragging about your accomplishments with this channel. Thanks very much for your help in discovering new places to explore and most importantly - the tools needed to do it safely! Best of luck in your ventures going forward. From Western Oregon.

My condolences Tristan. I had no idea. I myself am a father of 4 and know your Dad was so proud of you for doing what you love. You are great at what you do! Today's video was gorgeous and I liked that quote you mentioned at the end, it really was a great way to end it. I would definitely check out your videos about the travel trailer. I enjoy your content and the way you tell a story, it is quite unique and something new isn't a bad thing. Safe travels Tristan!

[@westcoastislander6699]

Absolutely the best thing that you made spending time with your dad the priority. So sorry to hear that you lost him to cancer. But at least you won't regret that you didn't make time for him in his last days. Alaska will be there next year. We live in Creston, British Columbia, just north of Idaho. The Creston valley is rich in history and the Kootenay and Purcell mountains have many adventures to be found. Come north, young man!

[@caroltaxman1343]

Sorry about your father. I hope he did not suffer. Wonderful you could spend time with him. You should make that camper so you would spend more time in one place. Love the scenery.
