VanLife Gathering Neah Bay, Washington 2017 On the Road

[@Tygerlady99]

Really enjoyed the video. It's heartwarming to see a group of people enjoying themselves while being kind, respectful, inspirational and uplifting toward each other. I am happy to hear that this event is world wide.... great stuff!!

[@dreamzofhorses]

That salmon looks awesome and huge! What a wonderful opportunity to learn about the native culture and be the recipient of the kind, generous and accepting Makah tribe who gifted you all with the food and land to host your event on. Giving and sharing results in blessings coming back to them. Something they know, but so many of us have lost or never known. Wishing many blessings to the Makah tribe for their hospitality.

[@darkbluematter1753]

That song the gentlemen sang at dinner was beautiful. I get very sad I can't eat food anymore because it is such an ancient and pure form of sharing and bonding with other people. But music is another way and that makes me happy. Thanks for the video, Brian!

[@JJF10101957]

So nice to see Emily and Cory, She got seriously ill a year or so ago. The beautiful people of KZbin! Outstanding Video Brian!

[@RPMComputer]

Simply awesome Brian. Thanks for Sharing. You taking the time to film, share and post is really powerful as well. More than you know.

[@Larry-herenow]

I hope all the nomads and wannabe nomads watch this, Brian. This is how it's done !! We could all learn something from mixing cultures ,to organizing an event and cleanup at the end. Looked like a great event and I loved the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@yricyric]

I wish I could have been there! Speaking for myself, I feel a real kinship with the native people of this country. I think those of us who are drawn to living a more back to nature and nomadic lifestyle are connecting with something deep in our human DNA. Who better to be examples of this and to help teach the rest of us than the direct descendants of the earliest know peoples in the land? Thanks for the great video, ric

[@anthonymarino4260]

great job

[@frankiemac8891]

Wow, what a beautiful and peaceful spot. Reminds me of here in Hawaii with the native land here , as so the native pacific northerners with their form of Aloha , the Breath of Life.

[@bradkw4295]

That was really nice Brian...I hope you spend one of your Sat. vids going back over the experience in more detail :)

[@jerryvelez-cedeno1441]

Thanks for sharing, looked like a good time & educational. ✌

[@debicaron4869]

Thank you. This was great. Life is congested on the east coast living in my van. Heading west soon.

[@toxist]

Awesome Vid Brian !!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Enjoyed, really nice of the tribe to come through like that. Very special. Nice video. 👍

[@ianwharton7012]

Great video, really inspiring

[@wildflowerwind6941]

This gathering seemed very positive. I loved the comments from the tribe. Refreshing to see people helping each other and not judging.

[@ErikBlair]

Awesome event! Great people! Really appreciate the Makah Tribe! Thanks Brian!!!

[@overlandteahouse1273]

Sweet summary of the event. I was the drummer on the track in the middle of the video and I was super grateful for this event and it's people. Though I'm a Syncro owner, one of the most important parts of this event was the diversity of people and their rigs that attended. We really needed that. I'm still living out of the van in the PNW and I hope we can get this together again this year!

[@gttsegyal]

Its good to see you having a wonderful time and those prayer flag are beautiful...

[@4yellowwolf]

WOW!!! That was so cool. Loved it!

[@bninnabnana2476]

When 2 or more are gathered to bring to life the power of this earth was just amazing. To do so with the blessings of the Elders of the earth, just blessed each of you beyond measure. Thank you so much for sharing a small portion of the light that was shared and shined during this event! Agape'

[@ChonkBob]

[@LaramieJim]

Real cool vans. Surprised not to see anybody rebuilding air cooled vw engines at the camp

[@robchenoweth02]

Gumbo! Now you are living. Rob/New Orleans. South Louisiana in the Fall and Winter would be a good time to visit and do some cajun dancing and good food eating! Let the good times roll!

[@IdahoHillbilly]

Man that was one of the Coolest videos yet !!! I wish I would have been at that gathering...Very 😎 Cool.

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

Over the basket!! I tried it years ago and would love to try it again! I love the music with the drumbeat that they played!! It was so awesome they made dinner for all of you guys!! Love the fireworks!!

[@caseymalone1366]

Bravo 👏 Brian . Thank you 👍✌️✌️

[@visualtraveler5263]

Enjoyed it again Brian,..another one that I have to watch a few more times to get the feel of being there. :-) I've talked a few times on Instagram to the couple that's from New Orleans, the pretty black girl and her husband,..she was telling me, that at first she was having a lot of problems living in a van, but encouraged me to go for it, that I would love it like she did after the 1st month. She said that meeting fellow van dwellers all across the country was the best part of it, I remember. I love the voice of the Indian elder that sang. His voice has a very nice mellow, resonant sound to it , that would be great added to recordings of other songs. Was hoping to hear you play flute Brian. :-) I'm definitely going to try one day to cook some fish like the Indians do, like they did there with the cedar strips,.very cool idea. Thanks again for sharing this event Brian,..I was hoping for much more views with the drone though, like out to the beach and back to the camp, but still very nice to see everything you did show. I bet that cornbread had a great smell and taste to it. :-) ☮ ☕ 📷 ☺ ✌ .

[@caninetherapyinc9031]

Wish I could have been there! How awesome the Makah people are to have been so welcoming! So envious of all the folks who were blessed to be there.

[@BlueVanDan]

What a cool place and it looks like awesome people to enjoy it with...

[@trekfortruth2841]

Great video Brian...thanks for sharing!

[@angelanash4347]

Really Awesome! I loved hearing the Native speak his words about their traditions. Would like to know how and why such a long period of mourning. What a blessing their sharing in this event! Food looked amazing and people seemed great! Love what this is about!

[@AprilMadden-Jam]

Fantastic gathering, what a wealth of knowledge being passed along. Glad you got to make it out to this one and get a good soul charge up.

[@kodeywhitewolf8528]

awesome gathering

[@vantheman3857]

That was the most touching video you have ever made.❤ Every aspect of it was totally beautiful. Personally my 2 favorite parts were when I saw the old dodge tradesman ~ I always dreamed and wanted one of those when I was in my twenties, I would think man I would love to travel everywhere and I would fix it up and take care of it like my baby. but i was to caught up in the rat race and it just never happened. So when I saw the van in the video I stoped and totally had a ehpifany. I paused the video, stared at it and said " I have done it, I have finely done it." So now I sit in my van and I'm typing on my so called" mobile device "some 25 years later. Just in awe... it took just that one image to remind me of what I've wanted for so long and now I have. 2nd the interview at the end of the video was so moving I got goose bumps and emotions flushed through my soul. Words can not express how much this means me. Thank you Brian, you just helped me see something i guess i needed to be reminded of by another human and made me realise something buried in my heart that has now come alive. you just made my life alot better. Peace to you and everyone reading.

[@jimbrownza]

Go, Mopar

[@vagabondtom2969]

well, i might be 2 years late but i'm glad i made it because this was one of the most inspirational videos i've seen. what a nice gathering and message, something i'd like to be a part of one of these days(i should have known in 65 when i was in a band called "the vagabonds" :) thanks brian

[@funkyalmond]

Awesome man, looks like it was a sweet time

[@reece7259]

Hi Brian ... Trust you are well.... Nice vid as always.. Appreciated buddy 😇

[@maggiesjourney3877]

What a beautiful place. I remember camping on the beach there in 95 and having a beefalo joining us.

[@SarahTree]

WOW! Great video! Love it! I hope that I get to go to a Van Life gathering some day. I've been to Rainbow gatherings and stuff. They are a lot of fun but there are way way way more people. This looks like more my style. More laid back. And it was so nice of the natives to let you all stay there and feed you and share their traditions. What a great time! Thanks for letting all of us who couldn't be there in on it too.

[@JayDubber]

Nice job bro and was great times! ✌

[@timfarness5136]

[@valeried4504]

Wow, Thank you Brian for sharing...

[@bumblesby]

Nice trip. Im really hoping to be out on the road in the next few months.

[@skyzze]

GREAT VIDEOS

[@suepete]

Wow. This looked like a very civilized and organized event. I've seen other gatherings that were mostly people sitting around getting drunk and trashing nature. What wonder hosts AND guests.

[@algray2604]

hay this is real this is great thank you.

[@TrevorMarty69]

The definition of wealth....that was a good reminder. It's been easy for me to get older and bitter. The van life everything has been important for my own personal sort of recharge.

[@LostOnLandAgain]

What an awesome experience! Thank you for sharing this Brian!

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

Its so nice to see you connecting with a variety of nomads and experiencing so many different personalities. Thanks for bringing these videos to us on a consistent basis.

[@AdventureVanMan]

+CoolCat Carolena Thank you. This has been an experience beyond any expectations. It has been challenging to be consistent in documenting all of this but I feel it is worth it. Not only for the purposes of sharing with and inspiring others but also for having my own personal timeline of memories. I have been looking back at a few of my older videos and it reminds me of how much I really have experienced in such a short time. Thank you for being a positive part of this community! 😊👍✌

[@GatorLife57]

Awesome Brian ! Thank you for sharing. Blessing2U... Thumbs up. ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@janicepeck4828]

THANK you Brian sharing van gathering. So cool and peacefull community KNOW Many appreciated learning native American culture. Didn't know of song for eating. I'm starved for this knowledge of culture that runs through many Americans blood. Safe journeys
