So glad to see your great smile is back. It's been a while. Keep in your groove. I'm 73 and love your channel. Congrats on your weight loss too. Keep the videos coming.
I had a poster when I was young that said "Life is a Gas... .33¢ a Gallon" That was considered a joke, because, at the time, it was only around 25¢ a gallon, lol. How times have changed.
I was thinking of the days I ran up and down the East Coast on 25 cent a gal
You are as old as I am
Jax and his banana! His little feet running so cute. So happy to see a video! Happy you are on the road
They said, "Look there's an RV. That must be where we park."
TruRants Gaming that’s it lol when y’all log 700,000 miles in an motor coach let me know if I need help ! He for got to say that’s the area for dogs to go to the bathroom, we don’t carry a litter box ! Like this bitch
TruRants Gaming if you notice this nut case is taking 4 parking spots, the guy on the left is in the lines , what a dip shit ! Park your little RV in the lines , if you need help ask the guy beside you !
I cracked up when you showed your "huggy buddy" parked next to you on that big old lot. I think people do it because they assume wherever another RV is parked must somehow be the designated RV parking area. They really don't mean any harm. (:
agree
But they have little common sense and no common courtesy.
I would start it up and move to another spot.
@@belladawn622 That's exactly what we have done.
That “big old lot” was full when they arrived
He does sound like Carol Baskin ,, even has a Cat ,, 😂🤣🤣
So if you're traveling into Missouri, stop at the La Plata train station and wave at the webcams attached to the outside station!
Not even the locals go to LaPlata lol! I'm formerly from the area.
Pronounced “O” sage Trail. Keep up the good work!
Robert Vick Superspearder Eric traveling from town to town state to state 😅😅😅
This is the time to boondock somewhere remote.
Stay Sage
🍻
And nobody has won more in that stadium than they have also :-)
39lbs!? Way to go, bro!
10:00 Cat Crossing! Love Jax'n you. Happy times!
You need a sign on the outside of your RV that says, "Please don't cuddle up to me!"
Hey cat man, maybe you should get Carol Baskins to hangout with you ! Just so you know you’re in Missouri if your in St.Louis , cool cats and kittens
Lol😂
Eric,
Maybe allot of folks park in the parking lot by other RV's so as to not take up free space all over a companies parking lot so they don't ruin free parking?
In your video it was raining and that guy wasn't that close to you!
That guy is my cousin and a really hardworking great guy.
missed the travel videos! so cool how you can resume life by cooking, watching tv, running a freezer, and work while living in a Walmart parking lot for the night with no hookups. batteries and solar are a life saver!!
Nice uplifting video. I needed it!
I love your expression when someone parks right next to you when there is a ginormous empty parking lot! 😂
"I believe this to be a kitty cat seat." lol
Good to see you on the road again (you just sang that!) your joy is contagious bro! Have fun & stay safe.
As an RV'er, when I have gone into Walmart to ASK if we can park over night, they would tell us "See the RV out there? Park next to it." So before you put people on blast, maybe you should think about what the store might have told them to do.... Last thing any store wants is a bunch of RV'ers taking up a major part of their parking lot.
Oh btw, "O Sage" is how it's pronounced, I grew up in Osage Beach, Missouri is how I know :)
use to live in Osage Beach too! Miss it
The Ozark show is actually filmed a few miles from where my son lives at Lake Allatoona...There is a lot to see and do in Georgia...come for a visit.
I ran a trail race at Red Top Mountain State Park last fall. We ran around the abandoned campground which was a blast. After that, I went to Amicalola Falls and ended up driving by (and stopping at) apple orchards in Ellijay, GA. Just a gorgeous area.
And also Lake Lanier in Georgia. My son lives near there and he sent me a picture of the filming location, they had a sign up marking the filming location and it said "Krazo" (Ozark spelled backwards).
Great show
@@angelawatkins2637 I live just a couple of miles from Lake Lanier. Eric needs to come to Georgia! He wouldn't be disappointed. Such a beautiful state with so much to do. 😊
that was funny when he opened the catnip banana on his bday! i grow good real catnip here at our farm. feel free to msg me if you like me to send you some or if you'd like some seeds. i love to share it. we moved 8 years ago and i dug up a bunch of plants and brought it with us. stay safe out there!
Hey Eric! You need to make a montage of you walking up to closed tourist stops! 😆
windsongshf hahaha too funny!!!
Jax: "Don't even THINK about trying to take this banana".
Glad to see you out and about! You seem really happy...stay safe & hugs to you & Jax
LOVE YOUR LIFE Eric! So much fun, adventure and joy! Best channel because you keep it real! Thanks for being you! And love to Jax, too!
i know why that RV parked beside you - Some people feel safer when they are closer to another RV - it makes it seem that you are both together as a group - usually older retired people do it - they should have asked you if it was ok though - Lance from Canada
That makes perfect sense, strength in numbers!
I just had someone squeeze in between me and a tree. I didn't think there was room!
Always enloy your cheerfulness, Eric. Love the sound of the rain on the roof. Gas is $1.88 for reg unleaded in san diego county. YIKES!!! Wish I could stock up! Have fun.
Nothing pisses me off more than when I park far away from everyone else , and someone comes and parks right next to me. That is a red rag to a bull.
I know. It's like why?
Do you think its fear. Someone told me safety in numbers when I came out to ask what was up when they parked next to me. At least they didnt use a generator all nigh
Its definitely unnecessary
Sometimes it scares me - cuz, of all the empty spots around me (tons), why right next to me?
Dan Frost I had someone do that to me last week at our local lake.
When I gave him a look he started telling me ‘it’s ok’.
Who died and made this jerk Surgeon General?
I moved.
Time to come to Kansas before the heat of summer. Big Brutis, Cosmosphere, Salt mine museum, the Garden of Eden, . How about all you fellow Kansas folks help with places and stuff that Eric could see in our unflat state.
$.99 in Middletwon, Ohio at 5 different gas stations !!!!
Your in my neck of the woods now, live in Missouri 98 miles from Kansas City MO going south, love it here where I'm from...have a great time here...
W M sells a baking pan with a grate, line pan in foil. All grease & muck, drip into tray. U can add it to (food cart,) along with anything sold in store. Camp Safe
BTW: The white stuff that congeals on cooked fish is called albumin. Brining fish reduces albumin.
Baked or grilled salmon cooking note: Cook wild salmon to 120°F (it has less fat) and cook farmed salmon to 125°F.
Brining Fish 6% solution: 5 TBSP salt, 2 quarts water. Soak for 15 minutes.
Why brine? Improves flavor and keeps fish moist. Brining works faster on fish than red meat or poultry meat. Brining helps reduce albumin which is an unappealing white mass that congeals on cooked fish.
Hey Eric, thanks for the video. I think you more than any other person I know or watch is being the most negatively affected by this shut down and stay at home orders. I feel for you and hope you are able to be even stronger than ever in handling the weird situation we are in and the static you are receiving for just living your life. I will still be here watching every video you post and clicking the like button before I even see it. Peace and love to you and Jax, any and all of us can get sick and die at any time covid or no covid.
I have been watching you for several years. Ironically you came into my world. Laumaur sculpture park is where we went to hang out when we skipped college. It is also where I got married the first time. Second, the park in Pacific is in Franklin County. Also, it is a memory park. The bricks around the statue in memory of a loved one. The big foot truck is located there because the guy who built Big Foot owns the grocery store. He has also moved his shop in the woods behind the store. I love this video!! Thanks go forth and be safe!!
Thank you Eric for Good mood and excellent content! Be safe and enjoy every day!
Eric, we feel your pain on people pulling up next to you on a empty lot. We lot dock in a teardrop all the time. Just a few months ago we woke up at 2AM to small children playing next to our camper. I went out and the parents had pulled in the spot next to us. In the back of a lot in the middle of the night tons of space. What’s wrong with people? It’s like when you are on the river bank and catch a fish and everyone moves on top of you. People! Safe travels !
Way to go Eric. Bend don’t break in these times. Glad your still cranking it out. great vids. Stay safe
39 lbs. Is awesome dude, good for you. I'm glad you're making this a lifestyle change. I fell and cracked a rib, haven't been able to run til now and I honestly miss it.
Thanks for all your effort. Nice change of pace from all bad news. Be safe.
Glad you are enjoying being on the road again! You seem a lot happier now! Jax needs some kitty chicken!
Nice to be traveling with you again. Thank you. Fun to see Jax and his banana.
I have seen a lot of new RVers who don’t know anything like where to park, they probably think oh there’s an RV so that’s where we are supposed to park 🤷🏼♀️ who knows
They could've skipped a slot at least!
It's Raining here in Va. today too.... That was a lot of Corky COOL stuff!!!! LOVES/HUGS to you & Jax!!!
I'm one of those 7 year subs!. Love your content. Video quality is superb, One of my favorite channels. Was that Andrew Camarata in that construction clip? Glad to see you back on the road!
They feel safer having a neighbor.
Absolutely love-love watching your videos. I live in Missouri and you have shown me things I've never seen!! If you go fishing good luck do you keep your catch or do you catch and release. Be careful on your travels. Take care from Grandma Horn
Just depends on how I'm feeling. :) Generally catch and release.
@@nomadicfanatic take care young man. Give Jax a pat from me.
Stay safe out there .it was great to watch your video to get a little relief from not going outside 😷👍
Get yourself one of those small fishing poles, tie Jax's banana catnip toy as a lure, cast down the hallway. Enjoy!
I tried camping last night. It was a total bust. The free place near me that is open was packed! I hope you have better luck.
Another fun video Eric n Jax 👍😊 🎥🌎🎶🚌 thanks for sharing and safe travels
Most people LIKE to be around other people. Especially RV people for safety in numbers. You should put a sign on your rig. "Caution a hermit lives here, please stay away I don't like people".
Jax and that banana....what a hoot!
Wow, he close to me. Yeah all County parks where closed because of the virus, Stay at home stuff. A few local city parks are open.
I love your expression with the RV had to choose the empty parking space right next to you. Of course the lot was empty and he could have parked in a different area....never fails...
People do the same thing when you get a new car and park way out.
Cuba, MO is the home of Big Foot. They do a lot of fun events in the area with the truck. Welcome to the STLhood! Love that city and the Cardinals! 😍
Almost fell out of my chair at 16:50 just so funny how people think. Thanks for all your videos.... love to see your travel.
Love the revisit to Route 66. Love Jax.
...”or the A, E, & the O are all silent”...I was trying to pronounce it😹😹🤣🤣👍🏻
I am glad to see someone traveling. Have fun and stay safe.
OH SAGE LIKE THE INDIAN Osage
Cooking from scratch in Doolittle MO (where the el camino rooster is) has pretty good place. Under normal circumstances, we stop there every week as we're passing through,. Go visit when things are open again and tell Mandy we said hello!
Yes, what the others said about the other class A saw your rig and thought he would park next to you because it keeps the Rv's together so you guys are not taking up too much space. And, also I can speak from experience, he wanted to be next to you so he could put his slides out and feel protected by your rig. No one was going to be driving through there hitting a slide. Lot's of reasons I'm sure.
That was very cool. Yeah if I ever had a RV a 60" is a definite MUST. Iv'e always hated how RV's come with small TV's
Hey Eric!
Welcome to Missouri (or is it Misery?) LOL! Of course, with the weather, it is always just wait a bit & you will get a different season! I hope you have the opportunity to see some of the Northern portion of the state as well. That is where U.S. 36 crosses from Mark Twain to Jesse James (as I like to say, anyway). I call it "History Highway". Hannibal is of course the start with the home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and moving West there are a number of persons of notoriety along the way. Macon Missouri (though seldom remembered) was where the Macon Automobile originated and also was the site of a military academy founded by Colonel Frederick Blees. Then, just three miles South of 36, is Marceline which is "where the magic began" for Walt Disney. Further West is Laclede and the home of General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing. Moving on, Chillicothe is where the creation of the first commercial establishment of sliced bread came about. Near Chillicothe (takes some searching) there is also a memorial to the Haun's Mill massacre. You will have to look that one up for yourself. A point of 'not so good' history of Missouri. Then, there is Hamilton Missouri, the home of James Cash Penney...YES! "that" J.C. Penney. (My step-father worked on the Penney farm as a boy of 12.) Then, finally, you arrive at St. Joseph which was the 'jumping off point' for the Pony Express and the death place of the outlaw Jesse James.
I "know" this is LONG WINDED...But, hope to see you along the way.
Ken
I think that guy parked next to you didn't want to loose his TV 🤣 stay safe and God Bless
Eric, if memory serves me correctly, The Osage (O-sage) Trail is the path the Osage tribes took when the US government moved them off their lands and sent them to Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. You may have heard of The Trail of Tears when various tribes were moved from the Southeast & Florida also to Indian Territory. So named The Trail of Tears because it was basically a forced march during winter and many died. If you are looking for trip ideas Oklahoma has a rich history of being Indian Territory, a haven for outlaws (think of movies like True Grit). The land runs (think Far & Away with Tom Cruise). Explore Native American history the different tribes have events like pow-wows and other places to learn of their culture, worth your time.
I feel you Eric regarding that Walmart parking lot situation.
Nothing pisses me off more than that, but it's best not to even say anything or let it affect your day too much and just try to find a way to accept that it will always happen no matter how far away you try to park while hopping others won't park near you.
Keep putting out all those great vids Bud... we love every one of them.
Would you rather have Roses on your piano or tulips on your organ LOL‼️😂😂
Wow Eric! Looking good! So glad you keep pushing and giving us good content, even in these trying times!
You certainly a busy fella. I’m glad you are able to get on the road and go camping. JaxMan ❤️ + 🍌 LOL, 😻
Maybe they were told to park next to you. Yeah, I don't understand that too. Make sense to me how you are doing your time. Always good to see you.
I’m 51 now all RVer’s have always stuck together. It’s safer. My father did it and so does my husband. We always park by other RV’s. Be happy about it that they like you Eric 😘👍☀️🤠
Eric, if you forget to thaw again, add season to frozen chicken and shake in bag. Happened to me before and that works pretty well! Still better to thaw and season of course but it's not bad!
I can only assume that when an RV parks right next to you they must feel somewhat secure
Thank you for going out and about and giving us a distraction!
Jax says "Please Dad, give me a little chicken"😄
Feels weird just starting up my truck and go out for groceries. I have never wanted to get out there so bad ever before! Just looking out your windshield is exhilerating!
@Überleben Überleben Huh. Sounds scary. Be afraid . Be very afraid. Keep watching tv, it will save you. Lose your humanity, live long. Be the change they want you to be. We are the Borg
Distancing is important 6 ft. Apart for sputum stays in the air for hrs mask for when you go into grocery stores etc. Your back in your groove Eric
Just wanted to say thanks for showing Jax's new cat toy filled with catnip, I picked up one for my cat yesterday and He loves it too. Thumbs Up!!!!!,,,Thanks Again
Greetings for Cuba! I work at the Super 8. We're still open!
Man, I was just down at the beach, came back, and a younger version of my RV (Minnie Winnie) was parked right next to me between the trees! I didn't think anyone could fit there, but they did... Totally not social distancing, and I can no longer open my dinnette window because of it... My biggest and most frequently sat by window, and their RV is three feet away... Doesn't bode well for my trying to "stealth" camp next to an RV dealership/shop. But been here most nights since Easter with no problems.
But why right next to me!!??!? Wedging between me and eucalyptus trees...
(Had to rant to someone who understands)
Anyone that thinks editing is nothing hasn't edited video. I would guess that a 15 minute video will take 5 - 8 hours to do.
We have on of those Anova devises but I don’t like the way the food looks when it is done. It looks boiled, I’m thinking about maybe putting it under the broiler for a little bit. Have you tried that?
I haven't been there in quite a while, but I think there is still a McDonalds Riverboat, across from the St. Louis Arch, that floats on the river!
Our gas prices in Wisconsin are 1.24 per gallon and we can't go anywhere in the TV! All campgrounds are highly restricted . Have fun Eric!
Hey Eric great video, thanks for sharing, just becareful out there, wear a mask when you are around other peeps, so you don't get sick.. as always stay safe and god bless love ya Nancy
The parking thing is done by people who aren’t sure if or where they should park. They’re assuming if you’re parked over “there” it must be the designated RV parking area. They’re not bothering to in the store and ask questions for themselves. Monkey see, monkey do.
Jax is adorable with the Catnip Banana
Hey Eric and Jax I'm Dave and been following you for a while so I was thinking you can still do the chixn like that but there's sauces you can get that you can put on it and when you heat it up it will cook it with the sauce and give it an almost marinated flavor to your meals just a tip I figured out when I forgot to thaw my thixn first lol but it works and my veggies also get flavor too 😉 try it out never know might work for ya ✌️
I’m having some major issues with over eating big time. You definitely inspire me to at least get some steps in.
The Bigfoot headquarters is right behind that grocery store. That's why the trucks are there.
Awesome!!! Its good to see you thinking for yourself again!! The masses dont always do the right thing. Congrats!! Safe travels to ya. Enjoy your liberty!!
Long time coming bro, bet you have missed this so bad. Enjoy
Eric, you look reborn. Lots of energy. Like the positiveness.
Good to see you on the road again stretching your wings as it were. Can't wait to see your campground.
I was thinking that you could trim and season before you freeze, then cook from frozen for less mess. Just a thought.☺. Thanks for doing what you do.
You can put the seasoning into the bag with the frozen chicken. It works just fine as long as you don't just pile it up on the bottom of the bag. .
U r Soo lucky to have the RV. U can quarantine and still travel. I envy u I haven't left my house in months 🤪😷
SKeereD Rv'ers and Truckers.
I was in Sonora,TXa couple of weeks ago and the same thing happened to me. I was the ONLY truck parked on the VERY BACK ROW, all alone, away from idling trucks....and yep, you guessed it. Some dude backs right NEXT to me IDLED his ENGINE all damn night. There was 200 yards of available parking spots on the back row. I got out of my Truck and took a picture just for you.. I need to send it to you so you will know that you are not alone.
FYI- to folks that don't understand why I didn't move. When I shut down for the night I start my 10 hour break. IF I would have moved I would have had to re-start my 10 break. Meaning later leaving in the morning, later getting to location for off-loading. I had been there for at least an hour.
