      That's why your videos are great Mav . A lot of us have been hit hard by... well everything about the last few years. I love road trips and camping as do the vast majority of your audience , not a huge surprise. But gas prices coupled with health issues. My family has had to cancel a couple of planned camping trips . And it sucks especially for the kids. We appreciate watching your videos and living a little vicariously through your adventures. Thanks Mav. Keep on truckin

    For those who are tied down a bit more, don’t underestimate the benefits of mini road trips & camps. Find a remote spot a few hours drive away, throw a tent & some gear in your car & go for a weekend camp. Setting up a little camp, sleeping under the stars & cooking food on a fire really slows life down & is a great way to decompress from life pressures. Weekend camping can be done on any budget too.

    As a working (full time, in office) mother of two teenagers and one adult child, we can't do long distance road trips but we do tons of weekend adventures and even just day trips around Washington. We stop at "new" restaurants to try local places off the map and support local small businesses. Sometimes we hit Oregon or Idaho when time allows. Really wanted to get out to Yellowstone this summer but *GAS* and the flooding happened so that got scrapped. We call our selves "local tourists", since that is what our time and budget allow for. And it never gets old! But the price of gas and everything else has gotten very old, very fast!!

Where I am, I have housing, food, and all the extras (wifi, utilities, ect) provided to me for $130 a week, but a lot of companies will provide it for free.

Something about that trip was special and therapeutical. Being surrounded by the canyons and mountains especially the destination makes everything all worth it. I also feel like driving with my family gives us a more unique kind of bond compared to flying on an airplane. We have shared more stories and laughter with each other. It was something that I will always cherish and remember.

    MAV, I can't imagine a life without being able to do roadtripping. I would literally curl up and waste away if I couldn't do it, seriously. I've been tent camping, motorcycle camping, camper camping, boat camping, fishing overnight camping, Motorcoach camping, NASCAR camping, beach camping, "etc. camping" for over 35 plus years! 30 of those years were 7 months out of EVERY year! To say that Wanderlust is in my DNA is an accurate statement. For me and my husband it is simply How We Roll. !! Our former careers were intense ones so camping was our down-time and helped to keep us balanced in our weekly jobs. Now retired, it's our 10 months a year lifestyle...wouldn't change it for anything else. Life's GOOD! Be GOOD TO YOURSELF AND ENJOY IT...whatever that translates into.

    We love that you like road trips as much as most of us. Thank you so much. It’s during one of those trips when you add up number of tires on the ground, how many spare tires. And, if a lady enters your life that’s 4 +1 tires to add to your total. Not that it should enters the equation. It just does. Saying that, having a companion who really loves road trips and is open for same things you are could be worth And, having another person the spread the tire number around😎

    I love to road trip and you covered it very well. I just did a smallish trip from Alberta to Ontario and back. Pulling a 18x8 cargo trailer that I mildly converted, but had a couple quads and gear in it. Just under 3000miles was $2200 in gas. Totally worth it.

    Your videos make me so happy, due to my health issues I cant live on the road even tho its something I want so badly.(Due to treatment, drs appts, space needed for my machines etc) So watching you and Stay Fishy(Jordan makes great vids as well) kind of lets me live that dream in my head. Especially when im in the hospital and cant even leave my room, these videos keep me from being severely depressed. Thanks for that Mav. Hope youre doing well.

    I've been itching to do some road living but the price of gas has definitely held me back. Gas is still about 2x of what it was and for many of us, the money isn't thr only expense, when your away from work your not making any money either, really takes a toll on the books

    • @CalTrask73
      @CalTrask73 Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah, when he said $600 per week total, I thought something was wrong. If you even drove six hours per day, it would be roughly $600 per week just for the fuel at current prices (especially in a gas-guzzling pickup truck!!)---and these are prices that don't feel very stable right now, they could still go up again any time soon. I'm in a similar situation, I've been itchin' to move to a warmer state, but the prices still scare me.

      @@CalTrask73 i agree but, he sometimes stays in the same local area or city for a couple days at a time spending less on gas and if he spent his money solely on food and gas that would still be 200-300 for food and 200-300 for gas. But i definitely understand how it doesn’t seem believable considering it’s probably nearing $100 every time he fills up his truck.
