- Wild burros visit camp! Moving on to Anza Borrego!
My name is Brian. I live on the road full time in my self built camper van. Join me on my adventures.
In this video I leave my free dispersed camp in Big River, CA. I head towards Anza Borrego State Park in Borrego Springs, CA. My next camp is on State Park land. Free dispersed camping is allowed for up to 30 days in one years time. The boondocking caravan is going well. Thanks to Bob from Cheap RV Living.com for organizing the caravan groups. A big thank you to all that have joined us!
Thanks for watching!

The feeling of getting stuck but the feeling of being pulled out makes life so great!
In the last minutes of a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, I realized there was a Brian video to watch... 11 minutes later I feel much better. Loved the first seconds of burro noses! Thank you, Brian. ✌🏼
Brian when I heard that you were one of the hosts, I knew you'd have a happy group and a lot of fun. So glad to find out that I was right. What a nice thing to do for people.
While I’m not personally benefiting from your service to the caravans, I thank you for facilitating. It’s a nice way of getting people together.
Thank you for volunteering to host the caravan Brian!
I remember binge-watching ALL of ur vids a year ago at least. i just went back to ur 1st vid 4yrs ago (Dec 25, 2014). It's SO positive to see how many other subscribers have commented there of doing the same thing. I look at other vandwelling/RVlife channels. They just don't have the same sincerity that i sense in you. But anyway, most of those channels are less than 1-2 years old. We've been blessed with a 4-year window into the life of someone who is like us. All good things must come to an end. I hope u continue sharing ur life with us. But, even TV series come to an end. THANK YOU, Brian, for the hope u've given many of us. (I'll be at RTR 2019 in January--my first. I'll be hoping to spot you and give u a hug). 17 more months for my wife and I. THANK YOU for what you've done.
Very impressed by how little of an imprint you made kudos to you all!!!
God bless you for volunteering to lead a group. People can learn LOADS from you!
How cool .... wind energy! The nomad life is so insipring. First, I learned about solar lights, then solar cooking, now i see it is possible to use wind to make energy. And how cute, the burros want to be on CZcams.😎
Satisfying video Brian. Good for you stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone and using your gifts to benefit others 😎
God Love You Brian and that smile on your face just warms my heart. Excellent video. Thanks!
Thanx B. Those burros are cute! I've lived in CA 5O yrs since I was a kid & alwayz wanted to see the Anza Borrega.
Meet the guy with the wind mill awesome set up super nice guy
Really enjoying my time in Anza Borrego and the easy going leadership style.
When I was young (high school and college) I had a Honda Super Hawk 350cc "motor cycle" and traveled from Pacific Beach in San Diego to the Anza Borrego desert frequently. That would be in the early 1960's. I would spend 2 - 5 days there before returning. To me it was a magical place. I would travel up some dry wash 5 or 10 miles and "camp out" - nothing but a bed roll and some food. I remember sitting quietly and watch the animals appear. They would ignore me as long as I didn't move suddenly. It was a lot (LOT) better than drugs and likely saved my life. Several friends did not make it.
Visit from wild burros how awesome is that Shoe fence / too funny....Lovely park to camp nearby / how nice is that Keep having fun Looking forward to your next video
Nice to see the burros. Great vlog thanks for sharing
😎 Visiting burros meetup at the group 2 caravan!🤣 I love watching your channel. 💞 Thanks for sharing ✌🏿
I'm so glad that you're glad you volunteered for being host. It seems like you were in need of some quality stay-put down-time. Hopefully this experience will really recharge your batteries. I'm super glad it's helpful for people. I can see how it would be scary to start and this experience would be a great way to ease into it. Happy you are making friends and connections. Glad to see a vanman video today. Made my day.
Thanks for taking us along.
It is always wonderful to share life with others and to make new friends along the way. Enjoy the times friend!
Good to see you Brian. Love the burro’s & the desert views. Can’t believe it’s winding down.🚐✌️
🌸You’re doing an incredible job facilitating Caravan two Brian. Happy, fun and safe travels to your group and hope you’re enjoying the season 🥳😄🌸
As much as I miss your videos, I appreciate not filming people in your camp, not everyone wants to be on CZcams. You're the Man!
It's so great to see you again, Brian! What a fun adventure and new experience for you...and those traveling with you. That was a pretty awesome rescue mission too! Gotta love community! Be well!
That was a great learning experience for sure! Good thing help was close! 🙂
Hi,WE missed your beautiful videos, keep them coming Sal
Love the music always! Great living out in the wide-open spaces. Love the desert. Miles From Nowhere. One time about 35 years ago I wandered down to Borrego Springs. The quiet was tangible. Hope to join in again sometime. Thanks for the great footage.
Brian as all ways very relaxing video.Just wanted to wish you and your subscribers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..Safe travels.🎄🚙
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for all you do for the tribe. If I don't catch up with you in time have a very merry Christmas!
We are just back from Anza. Great hikes and loved the metal sculptures.
wow - lots of sun and sand! kinda prickly if you fell over in a bush! enjoying these old vlogs!
I'm glad U are enjoying yourself. ✌
Amazing group - Beautiful camp site !!
Nice to hear from you 👍😀
Give a evening sky shot 🌠
Ya know.sunset. star's in the sky ..😎✌️ 🚐💨 safe travels
Hey Brian good to see you and sunshine. camp fire looks like fun . stay safe :)
Good to see the caravan again. Been wondering about it. It would be great if someone were willing to share their first experiences and thoughts on this event. It sounds like a great way to get your feet wet when considering this lifestyle and being possibly more prepared than without this knowledge. This seems far less daunting to those who may be hesitating because of fear of going it alone. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure Bob will do some kind of wrap up video as well. Can't wait to join! God bless you all.
Great video Brian..enjoyed the scenery..gonna have to check out that area. I was hiking here just off I40 inside Arizona..Needle Mt Rd area..saw some wild burros bout a mile from camp..very cool !
Thanks for the direction. Hope to meet up with the group next week
Looks like the caravans are working out well. Thanks for the tour. 😎 --Mark
In the beginning is a good example of why tires matter. Those tires looked pretty worn, no matter he couldnt get traction even with all that weight on it. People, tires are one of the most important features on your rig. They are what make you get good MPG (for your engine). They keep you on the road when the road tries to throw you off. They keep you going down the trail when the trail wants to get you stuck. They help you stop in time to not plow through that kid that ran across the road chasing a ball.
People. Dont skimp on tires. Its a very needed expense. They last like 30K+ miles. Its worth it to get good tires once in a while.
Watching you on the TV, feels like im there. Love seeing all the different rig styles there! :D
Hey Brian! There is such a peaceful vibe in this caravan. Maybe you could do a few van tours (owners off camera).
I hope one day IAM able to travel like you Brian your lucky
RamVan Bobby No luck involved. He worked hard to get where he is.

Enjoy your videos, thank you for Sharing! :)
Bout time bub, lol ✌Safe travels 🛸
Hope to meet you out there someday Brian ✌🏽Be safe my friend ☺️
Thanks for the update, this will help me out in the future!
Great vid! Looks like the caravan is quite the success! Congrats!
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome views. Glad you are having a great time, Brian :)
So nice to see you and get an update on your adventures, Brian!☺
It would be interesting to know the origins of the extensive shoe fence; perhaps someone's ludicrous, experimental attempt at 'a border wall'!? 😉😁...sorry..just HAD to say it.😆
Those are the Santa Rosa mountains north of your Anza Borrego camp. I used to hike up there in the 60's. It's beautiful and wild country. I wish I were with you, but don't own a motor vehicle.
Another nice video. Thanks
I was really looking forward to joining your caravan until I found out my grandson will be visiting us. Now I’ll be hard pressed to get to the RTR on the 9th. See you there
Happy to hear you've had Downtime amidst the responsibilities! Looks like a great time, serene and somewhat surreal - as in a pleasant & dream-like...
As Always, Love the tunes & vistas.
Take Care Bri, Darcy AKA MommaMariposa (((~!~)))
Thank for sharing✌🏼🌵
Love the burros
Man I wish I wasn't stuck going to all these medical appointments in San Diego! I was planning on meeting up with this caravan in Anza Borrego!!! I'm planning on meeting up with you all on NYE and then heading to the RTR with you all...
I would love to see a van tour of the blue and white Ford with a wind turbine. It looks like an awesome rig
Thumbs up Brian...
👏👍...safe travels..😎
No work at x-mas tree store in san diego this year? What the flock? Love your videos Brian! I have been following you for 3 years from Michigan.
So cool of you doing that and helping new nomads. Pretty cool experience! Looks like you got some sun buddy😎 welcome back! People were getting worried and asking about you on my channel 😁✌
Ford to the rescue again!
Been waiting for a video.Great mountains! Nice asses!You were the perfect guy for the task! Have a great Christmas. See you somewhere out there next year!
From caravan 1, looks like fun
Great video!
Looks like great weather. Hope to see yah at rtr!
My wife and I spent a bunch of time in the Anza Borrego area camping with our dirt bikes. It is a nice area in November. Your friends electric dirt bike is sick! Please show it off a little more.

In you guys spare time you need to plant some grass and trees out there , nothing but dirt and Scorpions ...watch-out...Lol good to know your still around .
looks like a load of fun ,
it is a wonderful thing you are doing, brian. helping people help themselves and sharing your knowledge.
Brian, Merry Christmas, and safe travels.
I've seen shoe trees but never a shoe clothes line.😀
I enjoy your videos...stay safe
Beautiful park indeed :)
Striking views...! So beautiful...
great video
Nice
How about a tour of the blue and white van with the windmill
Rock on A.V.M
If you time it right, there is a massive wild flower bloom at Anza Borrego each year when the rains hit the desert...not sure exactly when it will be, but I’ve gone twice when I lived in Thousand Oaks. We camped down around the park, and it was SO beautiful. They bloom and seed super fast as the rains don’t stay long, but while they are blooming, the desert turns into the Garden of Eden. The ranger station usually has a pretty accurate prediction of when it will happen on their website. Hope your group has time to catch that.
I'd be interested in photographing that. thank you for sharing. :>)
do you know how hot does it get during the day about this time of year?
Well I know what I'm doing in the spring! TFS👍✌
some people may not be familiar with TFS @@MrJpat88 TFS is simply "Thanks For Sharing" - so WP, TFS ;/)
70F daytime temps
cute donkeys...
Thank you! Amazing share! Lil Burros too cute! Enjoy! Peace!
We're missing you at the 🌲 lot Brian but it looks like you're having a very relaxing time, you deserve it!
Just subscribed, but watched previously from time to time, appreciate your vids, I don't get the shoe fence thing, seems like trash to me, but anyway, loved the shots of the donkeys (burros)! Enjoy!
I was thinking that they'd be better utilized as donations. I think it's a cultural or artsy thing. LOL
Brian...talk to Nate of Element and ask him why you should go to Mardi Gras this year---because you will love it! You can bookdock at my house near the MS River. rob
In the beginning of this video there is a quick view of a rig with a windmill. Does anyone have info about the windmill? Is it a wind powered electric generator?
generator 👍
Brian - Great to hear from you and the Caravan you’re leading. Hope to meet you at the RTR. 😊
GOOD MORNING MIJO SO NICE TO SEE YOU , THANK'S FOR THE PASSENGER RIDE, ALWAYS INTERESTING UNTIL NEXT TIME..
SAFE TRAVELS, ONWARD BOUND!
Happy Holidays Brian..
