My name is Brian. In 2014 I moved into a self converted camper van. A year later I hit the road to pursue seasonal work around the U.S. and enjoy as much time camping in nature along the way. I am currently in a 2010 GMC 10 foot box van that I build as a camper. Join me on my adventures!

Why to Avoid Quartzsite, Arizona!!
Nice video. Well done
All the best on the new summer job. Hopefully none of the campers gives you a hard time and everything goes smoothly. Beautiful place to spend a summer job. You are properly equipped to enjoy your off work hours👍. Thanks for sharing.
Brian you are top shelf. At least you are brave enough to love again. I'm trashed can't see me with another person again.
Brian I think you’re going to be a great host, hope you have time to explore the beautiful area
Brian you are probably the most admirable person I have watched in about 20+ years on youtube! RESPECT
Sweet! I'm happy for you and me both. I lived in Rifle up until a year or so ago when my adventures took me back east of the Mighty Mississippi. It was a treat being a co-pilot with you in Rifle and the surrounding areas as I reminisced about my adventures there, all awesome. I hope I didn't babble too much. Thank you for sharing and Happy Trails! ~ Mike ~
Where have you been. Just happened to be surfing and there you were. Hope to see you more often.😊
Been with you Brian since San Diego , name is Carl, this can be easy for you or Kelly, I hope both of you keep in touch and figure out what needs to be found out 😢
You just want to be authentic and that is a good thing. I am like you in the sense I need lots of time alone and that has ended quite a few relationships - friends and others. You will eventually realize the split was for the best but right now it is just natural to grieve the ending of a wonderful relationship....Take really good care of yourself in all ways!
Show how you did the wires to the van
I plugged it in to the outlet at the campground.
HEY BRIAN,EVERY BODY!Jp from OKLAHOMA here. Brian, your who you are and that's why we all are subscribed. Looking forward, your where I called my second home state as well hosted a very busy campgrd. I Love you❤Prayers,thoughts for you. Congrats! Made it over 100K subs....LOTS of travels and we got a awesome kind exploring hard working non lazy spiritual gifted loving camp friend,SHARING Brian.
The best thing about being single is you get to keep all your hair 😂😂😂😂
I understand why you don’t share your location. I would not! many people do not have RUclips video share their vacation dates or pictures while they’re on the trip. I agree. Keep your location private. I know one RUclipsr, who was on a cruise ship and he was posting videos. He inadvertently said his cabin number, fans of his RUclips channel showed up unexpectedly to his cabin! I just recently started watching you because one of your videos popped up on my RUclips feed. Glad you’re sharing your cost. I plan to go part time after I retire in a van.
Always thought you were a dispersed camping- no neighbors kinda nomad. Camp hosting will be interesting I bet!

Carve some spoons, play your music.
Best of luck to you! I just got caught up and binged the last 20 videos, so now I'm sad I have to wait for more content but looking forward to it!
I can see that was a tough decision. I hope nature and keeping busy with the new gig will help you feel better. I’ve been living this lifestyle for 9+ years now, first in a van and now in a truck camper/topper. I have always thought your channel was one of the best and most genuine and I mostly modeled my channel after yours. We first met in Quartzsite at one of Ausia’s DJ camp parties in 2019, (I believe that was just before the pandemic). That was my 1st experience with a large camp meet up and you made me feel welcome. 👍 Fortunately, there’s a lot more adventuring to be had……Sooooooo Away we go…… 😁
Brian, I am praying for you, that you heal, and enjoy the next season of life. So happy you shared your feelings and respect for Kelly.
Thanks for the content, Brian! Big hummingbird guy here...I think the territorial behavior is why you see a lot of folks hang several feeders...although they will still compete...The more you watch them and if even see them in slow motion they are quite violent as they dive bomb on another! Any thoughts to setup a regular bird feeder as well?
Why don't you put rain guards on the side of the windows of , the box truck ?
I’m sure she saw this coming. You were calling her “buddy” instead of “honey” quite a while ago. Friend zoned.
good luck with your new job and the changes in life.
Thankyou Brian for your videos mate and your honesty. I'm sure you will continue to produce interesting content and keep on providing great entertainment. I wish you good health and hope you continue with your adventures. Cheers Michael
I've been following most of your wonderful RUclips videos for over the past 5 years and hope that you'll feel better soon Bryan after your recent breakup with wonderful Kelly! I feel your emotion dear Brian! Just want to thank you so much for your videos which are so amazingly informative, inspiring and educational about so many theraputic places to boon dock! Wow. I'm finally going to live out my big dream of nomadic boon docking at my current age of 66. My nomad dreams which i'll finally live this coming winter. I'll leave November and come back to my home base here on the north shore of Montreal Canada late April to do my music concert performances which i love! May to October. I have 16 Montreal concerts left until mid October which I've done since the 80s and I'll work a bit part time as well here online and on the road as well even though I'll have a pretty good pension. Me too I've broken up with amazing women during my life whom I've been lucky to be with and very I'm very happy by maintaing great friendships with some of them which has been so important! Howvever me too i mostly feel best when I'm alone and free. But I also do love being with people and meeting wonderful people! I have a great friendship with my ex wife who's a great mother of our 2 amazing sons age 33 and 26. I just retired from the public school teaching system last week after 30 years full time so i deserve to live my dream! Brian you really inspire me to live like you do! I love to play music as a soloist and arranger on my guitar but also play ensemble music with others. My therapy! I'll be going to the RTR next January 2025 and mostly boon dock as a snowbird nomad down south with my RV. I hope to meet the great Bob Wells as well as you Brian! That'd be an amazing dream come true for me! Also I hope to also meet so many other RUclipsrs that make amazing videos on RUclips whom I follow as well! Have a wonderful time Brian.
Brian Good luck this summer, been along for the ride since just before that amusement park in Iowa. Maybe Luis will stop by your campground this summer.
Looking forward to see your videos. Sorry you two couldn’t make it work.
Cool! Love the shirt. I am about 30 miles from Bad Axe.
Hugs and prayers my husband passed a way just over 5 years ago and our Anniversary is tomorrow!! I have been trying to save and get me a motor home so who knows one day I might see you out there on the road!! I have been where you are just not on the road!!
Stunning area - so pleased to hear you are enjoying your time in Colorado.
The town council is about to change the rules for there parks in Q. People will be kicked out &/or people property devalued if this new ruling goes through. The council is only concerned with snowbirds, off road vehicles & the few hundred kids who are forced to live here.
Welcome to life
Beautiful location. Thanks for the video.
A very decent human being.
A beautiful and awesome video. Colorado is looking so amazing; the scenery is breath taking. I appreicate you sharing all your adventures as they occur and you will be a wonderful camp host; it fits you like a glove. Your channel is wonderful. I've been watching for years and its like you gained a friend that you have the pleasure to meet one day to say thank you in person.
Take care, Brian. I understand your struggle. Just be kind to yourself and heal. ❤
what a stunning place to spend your summer!
Please don't rehome Hobbs. Please stick it out. He won't be able to understand why all of a sudden people he is familiar with are not around him anymore. That causes anxiety in dogs. He is such a cute dog and he is already 13. I really don't mean to offend you. I just love dogs. Love!!
So sorry for the loss.
Been here since the beginning Brian. Bummer about Kelly and Hobbs, best for everyone so it seems, glad they're still in your life occasionally. Enjoy Colorado and you do you man. Best wishes. Simple is the best way. If you get some time off and are near Fruita head their with your mountain bike. I think there is dispersed camping at 18 Road by the Book Cliffs.
Welcome to Colorado. Beautiful country
Genuine. That's refreshing. Breakups and losses are hard. I am someone who needs my space, too. You've heard the saying that people come into our lives for "a reason, a season, or a lifetime". I believe that to be true. Life is about growing and learning how to give and receive love unconditionally and each relationship is a big part of that. What helps me heal the most is to be grateful for that relationship, count the blessings, and ask inwardly... what can I learn from it? Not all of us are blessed with a lifetime relationship... we just have a different journey. It takes wisdom and a lot of emotional maturity to know when the "reason" or "season" has come to an end and move on. Respect for the way you are handling it!
First time here... Colorado in the title put you in my feed. Wow! What a gorgeous campsite! I hope to get out camping closer to fall, but I'm sure many sites will be booked. That campsite looks so peaceful.
I no longer see you email listed on your channel. But I still have your email from when we talked by email a few years ago. I just sent you an email. I hope your email address is still valid!
Sublime location
Nothing like a summer in the remote wilderness to get a man’s mind right
❤
You are one of the most remarkable persons I have ever viewed on U tube. Good luck to you dear Brian. You will be ok.
6 years following along your journey your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you for sharing.
Kelly sorry to hear that you and Brian parted company - you are a lovely, beautiful lady..... all the Best.🇦🇺
