- Heading west, looking for new adventures, we end up on Hwy 16, the YellowHead Hwy. I find this main hwy, one of the least traveled highways in western Canada, with some of the best free places to camp. Come along for the adventure and see what we explore, YellowHead 16 West!

it all depends on how you feel Brent you do have some health issues so if you feel like going home and it is easier for you then go home. We will watch you regardless of if you are travelling or visiting.
Thanks Karen, I’m taking care of me. I’ll figure things out, hopefully
STOP DRINKING, its destroying you and your body
If your heart says go home; that’s what you need to do 👌. But stop and visit your adorable grandkids and daughter in Alberta on the way ❤
Brent, No matter what, I hope you keep in touch. I say follow your gut. I believe our gut is connected to our hearts. Your friend, Louise
I hear ya Louise. Trudging along
Ticks? Ewwwwww I haven’t had a tick on my dogs or me for decades, I am lucky I guess but I haven’t been where you have either.
You know what? You just gotta follow your heart and if it says let’s head home, then head back slowly and enjoy the ride. Beautiful rest stops there. We don’t have enough of those and the ones we do have have homeless camps 🫤
First time for a real infestation
Once you get home, you'll start planning your next trip. You and Andrew were traveling at a fast pace. Maybe your next one will be at a slower pace. You'll never tire of this adventure filled life.
Thanks so much Sue
Start heading home, but take your time and enjoy the trip.
You may never head out this way again.
Peace and Cheers 🍻
Love and Harmony ❤
That's the plan! But in truly hope to keep doing this. I love Canada’s young history
Ñice video Sir's, Another great one! Where is homé? From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😊😊😊
Hi Peter. I call Nanaimo British Columbia home in the winter. I was born there and have lived there the past 25 years
Hey buddy I’m here for you anytime, go home and chill bro ! Brian 😊
You know I know. I’ll be ok
Hey Brent. I deal with ticks a little differently. I put them in the sink and burn them with a lighter. The reason for that is it doesn’t puncture the stomach which is where disease is kept. Just scoop them from the sink with a small piece of paper towel and chuck them im the garbage. Cheers buddy! 👍👍
I’ve been hearing a few different ways, but thanks
I know Foam Lake. They have a lovely campground too. A friend of mine grew up there. You found a nice spot to stay. These little hidden gems are all over the prairies. It is finding where they are. We travelled back and forth a lot from Alberta to Manitoba over the years, while my hubby was working his last 10 years before retirement and after going back and forth you do learn where the cozy little places are. Safe travels back to the Island. 😊👋 There are lots of places to live in Canada, not just BC. The last house we had in Alberta we couldn't buy here for 3 Million dollars. But still, people complain. Obviously we couldn't do that.
Loved Foam Lake, loved it story. Was there a few years back, and yes, so many places. Love finding them. Such an adventure
@@BrentsVanLife That's great. Glad you could stop in.
if u r driving through Edson Alberta say hello
Dang. I planned on leaving the kids place and heading west on the DT to Abraham Lake for a few days
Awesome camping areas. Once again great drone footage. Ticks really not nice to deal with. Hope you make it back safely to the Island safe and sooner than later. 😀😁✌👌🤟🍺💗
Going to slow down and take my time. Home is where I park it
I wanna go home too. Oh wait, I am already here. Miss The Dude!
See you in Aug
Maybe we can camp in Courtney 🫠
👋😄 Hey Brent, I enjoy watching you travel across the prairie, exploring small towns and vacant old farmsteads. But I also enjoy watching you fixing up things on your bus or cooking up a meal while at Barvarian. Take your time, take care and safe travels. ❤
Thanks Lynne
All of northern Saskatchewan from #16 north is full of trees/forests. Go north from Saskatoon and see. its beautiful. Waskesu, Candle Lake, Swan Lakes etc....
I was there a few years back, only north as far as the Battlefords. I honestly truly enjoy Saskatchewan
@@BrentsVanLifenext time come in from BC on the 16 then go north from Saskatoon to PrinceAlbert and up to see some great lakes. You wont be disappointed. You could spend all summer in those areas.
The plan was meadows Lake, but …. I’m burnt out .. @zooedca
Hang in there buddy!! If you need to go home, go home. GTDAH
Leaning that way
@@BrentsVanLife Hope that you feel better......
Cannot believe the tick issue out there, that's crazy! One more reason to come back out to the island. Do what's right for you 🙂🙏.
All the best,
Michelle and Holger 🙏
Def heading back, but this ole guy travels sloooooooow
thanks for the video used to live in Saskatchewan Quill Lake as a matter of fact its a small village pop 500 there r 2 2 lakes big Quill and little Quill thanks u brought back some memories
Awesome. I love hearing these comments
👋 Brent and the dude.
Wow, you film the most amazing things.
Like you said, just gorgeous.
I'm glad you were on tick patrol 😂
Man, on a mission 😅 I love it. ❤
Wow, the farm looks like a postcard. Muddy road, wow....
Beautiful rest stop.
Have you heard from Andrew?
Are you heading towards Willy?
Take your time in deciding. It's hard on your heath. Follow your gut. Safe travels 🙏 💕
Thanks so much. Really hard to hear sometimes. But def listening and working towards some ME time
Comment on Willy’s video days before to get closer to Saint Johns
Wow! I guess as we get older the more we slow down and want to be what we call home bodies.❤❤❤Maybe you need longer breaks from long distance driving?❤❤❤❤ I wish you well and hope you make it through your trip❤❤❤❤ such beautiful scenery ❤❤❤thanks so much for sharing ❤❤❤
Thank you
Love seeing SK! My home Province 😊 Thanks Brent and The Dude! ❤
Our pleasure! We’re loving it too
Things get kind of tough sometimes. No matter if ur on the road or not. Sometimes brakes are needed to regain the things you most want. Breathe some, we will be here either way. ❤
Hey guys 👋
Subscribe to Brents channel, leave him a heart felt comment and push that thumbs up 👍.
Brent for some youtube videos to watch while on down time go to @bonnienklyde918
I have posted several including paranormal evidence from our investigations. Camping and will be posting several more. Oh ya! ☝️ please subscribe 😊 like 👍
Thanks
It’s true Bonnie. Just sometimes you need a spot. That’s my struggle
@@BrentsVanLife very true, having a spot can make all the difference.
Hi Brent. I left you a msg for you to get my contact number from Bruce but maybe you are too busy. That’s ok. Just wanted to touch base. Talk about music for your channel and maybe hook up if you are still in Toon Town. I’m here a couple more days then I’m back up north to work
I’m hunkered down, near Dixon Dam, dealing with burn out and trying to get some procrastinated projects done.
Feel free to email me at
brents_vanlife @ hotmail . Com@@Sammy_the_DJ
Window was almost all the way Down 😮😊
Getting hot out Dan. It gets stuck if I go lower
@BrentsVanLife sooo, when you get home, maybe we could spend an Afternoon trying to make it work so doesn't get stuck. Of course afternoon refreshments involved 😁😁
@BrentsVanLife have you tried a Silicon spray in the tracks 🤔🤔🤔
I’ll add it to the lists @danlynd2167
Great idea @danlynd2167
Make sure you stop in Watrous SK for the Canadian version of the DEAD Sea. a huge salt lake and I know you love art deco architecture.
There are quite a few Salt Lakes out here. Amazing how they are here, especially made for migratory birds 😉
Another great video. Love all the old sites. Hope you and Dude can enjoy every minute.
So far
Im so excited, I should start my adventures by august, wish me luck , I will keep you updated 😊love your videos . Thank you for showing m e dreams really can come true❤. Thank you for sharing ❤
Keep up the positive thinking Cindy
Hey Brent. Beautiful rest stops. LOL...there's no place like home. Much love and hugs

“How to Fillet a Tick.”
lol, too funny.
Stay out there till the snow flies bud I am 68 and dont think twice about takin off in my van when I can stay cool 👍👍
Each of those camp spots probably have their own share of ticks too.
They got less and less as I went north
Tuffnell Saskatchewan, that's Quick Dicks hometown! Hope you get to meet him.
Sorry, I don’t know him
Wow, that paved high looked too good. Are you sure you're in Saskatchewan? Lol.
I do know what you mean about heading home though. Left B.C. in May in our skoolie, out to Ontario to visit family and friends. Stayed to celebrate Canada Day, and a couple of grandchildren's birthday days. We're slowly going to wind our way back in a couple of days. No rush, and no schedule. Lots of friends and relatives to visit on the way back, we'll hit a few of them up for a free barbeque, and a shower, lol.
I agree there's lots of great little places in Canada to see, if you stay off of the main highways as much as possible, and take your time. We don't drive more than four to five hours a day, usually less, and if we like some place, we may stay an extra day or two. Find a lot of small town festivals and events that way. Those are always fun.
The plan is "loosely" to be home in mid August. But the funny thing is, no sooner we'll get back home, and we'll start planning next years travel itinerary. Lol.
Safe travels Brent.
Cheers 👋🇨🇦
I freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE this. This is exactly hour I LOVE to travel. I plan on being back on the island mid Aug too.
Enjoy the ride, for sure
Some nice sites, Brent. I bet if you stood on the top of your bus, you would have seen most of the rought you traveled.
I did and I saw you ride past Bavarian
Sneaky you, @@BrentsVanLife
@harmyjim2 😝
Hello 🙏☕✌️
Hey
✌️🙏👍
Nice video!
Thanks! You’re awesome Martina
I really admire you! Living my dream❤ beautiful
Thank you so much!! You can do it
The rest stops in the US are the best !!! Trees , grass , dog areas , washrooms , hosts and free coffee or donation. I went thru Montana , Idaho , Utah , Nevada , California, Oregon and Washington. All were great and they were all along the highway 😎🚙🇨🇦🇺🇸
That is awesome! One year!
Ohhh thx for taking us along with you Brent! Now I sooo wanna explore Saskatchewan too!!! And Im in Empress, right on the AB/SK border!!! Its doable!! But I got a youtuber meetup here, which coincides with Empress 110yrs Days. So it will have to be after that. I hope you are staying cooled off! 🥵 ❤🙋🛻🇨🇦‼️
Sounds awesome Jane. Already in Alberta, heading straight to The David Thompson Hwy, and to The Rockies!
I need a break from this heat, holy.
Sounds like a fun meet up. Enjoy
Be careful of those darn ticks. Especially the Lone Star Tick. That one is a beast.
Omg I wish u the best but dam I will miss u so much u an dude are a big part of my life
Won’t be that bad
I’m behind ya all the way brother. Love you. Be safe. Safe travels. See ya soon 🤩
Can't wait!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🤘🤪
@@BrentsVanLife it helps bieng a bit🤪🤪
I just spent a week at a cottage by day 6 l was ready to get back home.
I hear ya
-Take a rest if you need to
-Make fewer vlogs if it makes you less stressed
Don't burn yourself out because of us!
Do you give Dude tick tablets?
Thank you. I appreciate that
There’s pills for ticks?
@@BrentsVanLife Just search or talk to a vet to get the right flea and tick defense pills for Dude.

How long can stay in yellow head rest area
I didn’t see any signs
I stayed at one for 3 days
I guess I should Google it
Go back home 🏠 fallow your intuition 😊stay cool and enjoy the Dude he’s so cute little fella love you guys 😊grateful to see you all 😊😊
That's the plan! When? Cool? lol
Ain’t life grand
@@BrentsVanLife yes sir! We are all in this together!Have fun 🤩 and thank you 🙏🏻 I hope to meet Dude!And his handler one day in a future endeavor who knows!Stay safe and blessed 😇 and remember to relax 😌
Ps Home is a place where people relax and reset themselves
That would be awesome
@euphoricenergytodaywithlor2717
Home is where I park it @@euphoricenergytodaywithlor2717
We put tics in jar alcohol, they die
Omg, that’s alcohol abuse, lol 😂
@@BrentsVanLife thanks for time and input. Best to you
I've only ever seen Saskatoon from the air. It was night time and there seemed to be a vast area lit up from the lights below.
What's It's the population size? Brent, I get the loneliness factor, no matter what beauty we happen upon it lacks something when we don't have someone to share it with. As much as we need our solitude, we need to feel we are special to someone and share all the enjoyments we incounter along the way. It's the icing on the cake.😊 ❤ Be well my dear.
I hear ya there Denise
Good spot to try on my next visit to Saskatchewan
Good vid ‼️‼️‼️
You should! Thanks Mario
Manitou Beach is the place to go
I think I was there a couple years back
😊👍 Brent, you have my email address. If you end up in Edmonton, let me know. I'd love to get you out for a nice meal and yak. Take care.
You know, I’d love that. I’ll try and remember. Just need to get my life in order. Plates getting full
@@BrentsVanLife Sounds good. Have a good trip. Take your corners easy.
🙏🩵😔
Say it ain’t so
It Isn’t So….. Lol
I just watched a video from HoboTech with a dual zone Set Power 35QT fridge for $227? Do you have a similar link? That's pretty awesome of a price for a fridge/freezer unit with a 3 year compressor warranty. And I think it's awesome you were able to get one for Jeffie! I'm working on my truck bed camper build, but I think I need something smaller, but it's just for camping.
Www . Setpowerusa . Com
They are great units. I have two, and have my first one to my friend Wayne. He loves it too.
Brent, please stop embibing, stop all the sugar and cut the carbs. The weight isnt helping your knees much less your heart. PLZ step up and think about your health.
I’ve led a good life. I’m happy.
Thanks for caring, in truly mean that
If your heart is calling you home that is where you should be heading. This has been such a tough year for you and you have pushed yourself through it all and perhaps now is a time to be where you can rest up a bit and get your self built up. ❤🩹
I’m glad you guys understand. I try to take it one day at a time. But yes, it’s getting to be a struggle
@@BrentsVanLife You need to take care of yourself. You are so good at taking care of others now it is your time to take care of you.
