VanLife Miles City, Montana 12 Mile Dam Campground

[@roamingfree6968]

Heart skipped a beat when you showed that amazing sunset. Natures beauty, how grand.

[@briannab5296]

Loved this .. wish you had driven around Miles City a little bit .. i grew up there as an Air Force brat in the early 1960's. . Hope to go back for a long visit someday. I remember those mosquitos!! Mom & i wore thick bobby socks, and while hanging the laundry on the clothesline those mean buggers would bite us all the way thru our socks! ... sooooo many memories of Miles City 👍😎

[@sonnycantu9567]

the only reason I log in into KZbin.. Fantastic... ,Be safe

[@rvpandamonium]

Wow awesome spot and beautiful sunset... Thanks for sharing. 😆

[@bettybrigance6784]

I so love this traveling along through your window.........don't stop ... don't stop ...and thanks for sharing

[@bearsuc8331]

Love the fact that you work for it.

[@dominiquebt]

Dreamy sunset! I really appreciate your drone footage - great orientation to the campsites you visit. Thank you!

[@auntmemeintennessee8033]

Wow! That sunset reflecting on the water looked liked a painting... Beautiful!

[@1moreuser]

I love the drone footage. Also love seeing the cooking and what all you prepare! Thank you for the time and effort in these videos. You're an inspiration!

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

Yet another beautiful spot! I love how the sunset looked as though it was special for you. Got my sticker on Saturday. so fast and I love it, thank you Brian! 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@jennyhackenberg2078]

very beautiful sunset. keep doing the great videos and please be safe. God bless and have fun

[@bettybrigance6784]

And I love your music.......so nice with the drone ride .

[@judycarey9051]

Nice campsite. Beautiful sunset.

[@GadgetMan222]

Another great video Brian. I appreciate the narration when you talk about what you see out the windshield. This video had some highway, some water, some gravel, a little cooking and ended with a beautiful sunset. Keep up the good work.

[@justthisonechick7068]

wow! that sunset was absolutely gorgeous! ...and I bet you love that drone! the perspective you get from it is so great...to get the most out of each location you stop and enjoy

[@algray2604]

brian your videos continue to get better thank you and keep up the good work .

[@WendyWilliamsLiving]

That sunset... STUNNING!!!

[@maddtrucker6731]

beautiful sunset love all the Drone footage. happy trails

[@geoexpedites6399]

Awesome Sunset

[@elflordsjourneys]

Amazing sunset,wander Dano uses that sauce on everything too!👍✌

[@originalm3233]

Awesome video, sure the drone footage is great and the video of the amazing sunset was nice but I am commenting here to say that your windshield footage while driving and entering new campsites is what I really like. The time lapsed road footage is great because it gives everyone watching a sense of the really long miles you travel.

[@terryjones8588]

Always love your drone footage. You should have a sponsorship from that hot sauce company.

[@ArkansasMike]

Beautiful sunset my friend! Have an awesome week.

[@JJF10101957]

Great drive, unreal sunset, Big Sky Montana is quite the place. 150 years ago the government did not value that part of the country, we get an under developed wonderland, but nothing cute!

[@OTK_CONTENT_CLEARS]

Sweet sunset

[@bradkw4295]

I just paused the video to say that while your editing skills have really grown nicely, I feel that not having the wiper blades synced to the music was distracting and pulled me out of the moment. Now back to the regularly scheduled video... :D

[@gregklevgard1040]

Clip a branch with my drone there last week on others side of dam. luckily a buddy from Miles City with kayak helped recover it. Beautiful shots at sunset with ice on Dam.

[@dilbotmacguillacutty4849]

awesome sunset! just curious if you have a limit on what you WON'T put hot sauce on? ... cereal? yogurt? lol

[@RJsadventures]

I love Montana ! Good Video, Thanks for sharing

[@hiilikeyourbeard]

come through livingston! you have a place to crash and a place to plug in if you need to. god bless brother

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

Beautiful sunset. Montana is my favorite State. Didn't get to go this year, but I have a client in Livingston, it is amazing. I caught my first cut-throat on the Yellow Stone River there. If you ever get the chance you should spend some time there. Safe travels!

[@annehowellable]

i enjoy your videos. keep em coming

[@margarethardacre3777]

Beautiful sunset!

[@RutherfordTony]

Great sunset Brian! Safe travels friend...

[@LostOnLandAgain]

How many of those mosquitoes followed you into the van? Amazing sunset!

[@CarnivoreFrank66]

best sunset yet.

[@sonomaview]

Beautiful sunset! When are we going to hear more of your flute playing?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Tribal Vibes Leather Denise Im working on recording some flute music. I always appreciate your comments :)

[@rickreynolds760]

Brian, I'm parked at that exact spot right now. This is a nice place. A little while ago there were 2 guys picking wild asperiges just beyond the smily face on the tree stump.

[@little0big0man0]

I'm here at the Harvest in Grand Forks MN working in the lab. It's been warm so we are off for a couple of days. I'm hoping to go onto Amazon after this gig. Cheers and hope to see you again!

[@syedhashemi9787]

As always I enjoy your videos bro

[@sparkingdogg]

Awesome videos lately! Some of the newer bug repellents have no DEET like Natrapel and Avon Skin So Soft. And they work good. I use them on my adventure dual sport motorcycle. Inside my van I use Country Vet brand insect spray from Tractor Supply, for any bugs that get inside. It's 100% organic, made from orchid flowers, and kills everything that flies or crawls! I personally despise bugs, especially biting ones : (

[@NoProGoPronto]

Spectacular video Brian. Whatever camera you were using really picked up those vibrant colors. Especially the Greens. Try Peppermint or Tea Tree oil to keep those pesky mosquitos at bay.

[@ChiefinGuam]

Amazing sunset! Great campsite find, did you stay more than one night?

[@anngrubb732]

Beutiful sunset

[@bevliechty1161]

Sure not much traffic that’s good

[@TheFireFlyStudio67]

you love your hot sauces!! lol love it!

[@perkii4739]

A+ Sunset

[@MrJpat88]

When I told people I was trying to do the beet harvest they all assumed working at the plant you drove by. Total union situation to work there pretty sure. Glad you enjoyed western dakota, what an awesome spot you found! I see a lot of people saying you need to be fishing.... although they aren't wrong... but an out of state fishing license in Montana is pretty pricey! It costs an out of state person twice as much (last time I looked) as a resident for a 10 day license!

[@ilenestrong418]

You are correct. Miles City is not in eastern Montana, it is West Dakota. I'm from MT west of the Divide.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

beautiful Sunset. hopefully you didn't get bitten up by the mosquitoes

[@thomas194907]

you gotta try fishing brian, i think you would find it a fun thing to do !!!

[@Covinaman-00]

That what I think every time he shows a body of water like that.

[@zizzerzizzerzuz1154]

Out of state fishing license in Montana is $35 for 2 days, $66 for 10 days and $96 for the season. Out of state fishing is really expensive. Illegal fishing is even more expensive ... if you get caught. fwp.mt.gov/fishing/license/

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Zizzer Zizzer Zuz Yes, I do enjoy fishing but as a traveler I simply cannot afford to do it.

[@PreppingOhio]

The camera on the drone seams pretty good. Maybe try getting a shot of the next beautiful sunset, with it? Not sure how they are to fly when it gets dark though..... just a suggestion. Great video!

[@Kimbopolo]

Thanks for the eggroll recommendation. I'm so doing that in the next few days. Have you tried the sweet chili sauce? You can find it just about anywhere, including WMT. So good with asian dishes.

[@PedroNord]

🦋

[@helmitpeak]

Those egg rolls are good at only $1.00. A quick meal.

[@TheDenisedrake]

Whoa! I didn't know they were only $1.00. He saves so much money by cooking himself.

[@helmitpeak]

Yep. at my Walmart they are a dollar.

[@ShadeTreeGarage68]

I've seen you using Cholula hot sauce and siracha, have you ever tried tiger sauce. It is my favorite, especially in chili and on pizza. Give it a try if you haven't already. Great video, as always.

[@marlasharpe111]

Hey brother! Great video as usual! You need to meet up with Nate from Element Van Life he will be working at the harvest! ✌

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Marla Sharpe Yes we have already communicated :)

[@davids6533]

Some Deep Woods OFF will help keep the mosquitoes away from you. Where did you find your stereo that looks like an inverter? I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. Thank you!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+David S Hey thanks, I do keep OFF with me but really hate the smell. I got the stereo from ebay for about $10. Its from China, says KAWACHI MA-D20 on it. It is 12 volt 2channel FM receiver and has a USB and SD card slot to play Mp3. Also has RCA line input on the back. I got it because it has a Mic input on the front so I can plug in my travel electric guitar. ☺👍✌

[@davids6533]

AdventureVanMan The smell don't do much for me either, but I dislike the mosquitoes even more. I think almost everything comes from China now. Anyway, it looks very unique and has features I like but don't see on other stereos. Thank you for the info., and I wish you the best!

[@sonomaview]

OFF is some pretty nasty chemical spray to put on your skin (your bodies largest organ). I would suggest any type of natural repellent. I'm sure our ancestors had a problem with mosquitos and found plenty of natural repellent to help.

[@KRoseB]

Great video Brian! what a beautiful find there at 12 mile dam! Giving us lots of great tips for when were up that way. Awesome drone shots and always good to see you living the dream. Will you be in SD all winter or are you heading to warmer climates after the harvest? Would be nice to connect with you out there somewhere :-)

[@originalm3233]

I noticed the "Little Cesar's" napkin. Do they have any in those small remote towns? For about the same price you could get a CiCi's pizza to-go or spend a dollar or two more and get the all you can eat buffet.

[@disiluzhund]

Very cool video, Brian. Love the music choices. You probably mentioned the solar panel on the van roof in the past, but does it power everything in the van and how much did you spend to buy it?

[@pugsandcoffeeplease]

I really love the flyby videos. Can you or anyone really, give me advice on drones? Do they come with cameras? Do you simply attach a phone? Are there good, inexpensive options?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+Michael Duvic I am new to drones so I really cant give any advice. I use the Dji Phantom 3 4k... lots of review vids on youtube. The new GoPro Karma looks pretty sweet, kinda wish I would have waited 😕

[@traversingwithtrent2913]

I used to fish at that dam!!!

[@bigfoot_101]

Maybe you meet up with Element Van Life ... he's near you start working in the sugar beet harvest.

[@Debrajoy]

😊👍🐙

[@ernieroberts56]

Would you cook something with a sugar beet because I'm not sure I've ever seen one.

[@dilbotmacguillacutty4849]

...I'm not sure that they are of the edible variety...maybe?.. kinda like peas (canned or frozen) when harvested they are rock hard and pale green (nothing like fresh garden peas) during processing they are hydrated & colored with green dye then frozen & bagged or canned. ewww!

[@ernieroberts56]

***** Thanks

[@tmdavidson1478]

sugar beets are used to make what constitutes sugar in most of what you eat.

[@ernieroberts56]

TM Davidson Is sugar cane, sugar?

[@cddart21]

Do you put hot sauce on everything you eat? Beautiful

[@Dinoxt12]

Big Sky Montana just so beautiful and different...you should get yourself a fishing pole...there's not a body of water in Montana that doesn't hold trout and other types of fish.

[@sandmanxo]

Those eggrolls needed about 10 times more sriracha sauce. I put about as much sauce as you put total for each bite. Step it up!

[@Happycamper1998]

What type of tire do you USE for the van

[@Dedhedted71]

The one thing that worries me is that once I get out on the road I won't be able to find a good but sporadic income. I would think that once people find out that you are a traveler full time, they won't want to hire you thinking that you will just up & leave soon.

[@Covinaman-00]

He spoke about income during a recent podcast. Brian said that he makes money which only lasts him about 5 months out of the year. He stated something about re-evaluating his finances, if i heard him right.

[@robmorrill5104]

Sugar beet harvest and Amazon are good opportunities for $ and they don't care if you're single and what you live in.

[@Dedhedted71]

Yea but I can't help thinking that a few bucks invested at the market & maybe a few cartons of cigs & you can do well at a Phish show. And they tour year round so you can work when you want & take off when you want basically. Not just Phish either. Plenty of shows to work these days. Chicken wraps all day baby!!!

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hey Bryan will you make it up to Kalispell Montana this year ?

[@AdventureVanMan]

+REVEREND DAVID HAMM Not this year, I had to cut east for some short term work :(

[@grayeagleswolves]

awesome well make room on your Time line for August if you are nto working that is the perfect time for doing the trip to the park

[@robvannNS]

No wonder so many folks have diabetes..Sugar,sugar everywhere. At least Brian sets good example on how to eat and stay healthy. Not sure if I mentioned this before but some content on eating healthy while living in a van might be a help for other van dwellers.

[@TheDaveANH]

I enjoy Brian's videos but if you were to look at the nutritional information on the canned food he eats, along with the prepacked meats, it is abundantly clear he is taking in way too much sodium. Hardly healthy eating.

[@MayhemRv]

Sent you an email Brian about a bug screen.

[@geekchaser]

Freecampsites.net. Great! Thanks much!

[@skepticalmechanic]

Where u been dude? You fall off the earth?

[@AdventureVanMan]

I'm in Naknek, Alaska working on a salmon tender boat👍✌

[@Tatiacha]

Beautiful sunset!
