- One of the things we love about traveling in a camper van is going to campouts. This year we hosted a fall campout at Lake Guntersville State Park in Alabama that included cookouts, campfires and a coffee bar. Melissa also shares her thoughts about attending campouts at 05:34.

Mellisa hit the nail right on the head - the complete separation of “Toil & Leisure”, is a formula that more of us def should partake in! Great video guys! The scenery is very beautiful there 👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼🖖🏼
Definitely looked like a great time. Kait is so infectious with her positivity & excitement! Melissa made an excellent point, I hope many people will hear it.
Totally agree!
Hello guys, we have watched your videos for years and love you guys!!! I normally never leave a comment, but now I will as part of Scott's go small live large group. I love and appreciate everything you guys do and give back to the community. Although, I just got my van not too long ago, I am starting to enjoy it and hope to meet you down the road someday. Journy on, be safe Bill and Joe BJtravelers * * * *
Thank you so much!! Hope to see you on the road!
What a fun group.
Melissa is spot on! I have struggled with establishing a reasonable work-life balance, but I've learned just how important it is to not allow your job to own you. Maintaining relationships outside of work is difficult for some of us, so it takes effort, but if you put in the work you will always have a "family" long after your working years end.
So very true
Thank you Melissa! Spot on! -Kim
Lol. This started out saying somewhere in Indiana, and being from Indiana and camping my whole life, I had to keep backing up because I had no clue about the lake she said. Ohhh Alabama..
Looks like a fun time. And Lake Guntersville looks great! Lake Guntersville is on our list of places to visit. And thanks to Melissa for sharing her story. Enjoy life!
This was such a FUN campout. Great food, great views, great friends (new and old), and bourbon 🥃 !! Kait’s coffee bar was delicious. Many wonderful memories made. And, Evan does make everything look easy. Great advice on balancing work with van fun :) Journey on!
Yes it was! Thank you
Great video, maybe next time a little tour of individual van’s to see how they’re decorating and making them feel like home👍👍👍
Great idea!!
I stopped near my home in Baltimore, MD to gas up the other day and as I pulled away there was a Storyteller Overland Van. You never know.
Very cool!
True statement looks like fun
It was!
Such a great campout and we wish we could have been there and the Tenn AVE, maybe next year :) Mode LT owners unite!
That would be cool!
Thanks Melissa for the message, we were in Leeds that weekend for the ARMA races.
That is awesome!
Missed seeing you guys at the Storyteller Van booth at Overland Expo East. Looks like you guys had fun on your adventure and camp out.
Yeah unfortunately it was the same weekend this year
We are never out of Season in California!! Another reason to live out west! 😀 #Idyllwild
Except our gas is half the price 😉
Looks like fun times, love the Russos
safe travels
Nice bike. Beautiful area. I'd call the camp out a success. Some nice rigs too. Thanks for the video.
You bet!
Enjoyed the video. Melissa is soooo right!! We need to work to live and not live to work.
That she is!
That looks awesome
I really enjoy watching y’all enjoy our wonderful state of Alabama! Guntersville Lake is gorgeous!
Glad you enjoy it!
Looks like so much fun! I hope to join one day!
I hope so too!
I don't know how we missed this. We are north of Lake Guntersville, in the Rocket City:)
That’s a cool town!
saw you guys at Louisville Asian nights. always been a fans'
Awesome!
Thanks!
Great place, Oliver travel trailer owners have their annual rally there every May.
Very cool. I’m surprised they don’t have it in TN
Its only a few hours away from Hohenwald and a close friend of the Olivers has a cousin who works for the park and they are very accommodating. @@Weretherussos
Go back in June next year for the hydroplane races!
That sounds like fun!
So cool. I’m in IL and would love to come next time if you do one in the Midwest somewhere 🚐💕🍂
Looked like fun! ❤
It was!
Awesome
WOW, the last time I watched one of your videos Kait didn’t have any hair.
Wow, this looks like fun!
Cool people ❤
Didn't take long for Scott to break out the bourbon
lol. Nope
What a great thing you two are doing; this is entertaining for your channel and great for the campers who join you. That lady said it all about creating a different community to participate in when you are stuck in that career grind and you need to introduce some balance in your life. Very enjoyable video; it looked like a great time.
Thanks so much
Looks like a successful Camp Out
It definitely was
Good evening Joe, Kait,Friends & double ear rubs to all the four legged Fam ! Hopefully one day when I’m able to I’ll get to attend one of these amazing meet-ups ! Looked like everyone had a wonderful time ! Stay safe, keep the flavors brewing & keep smiling !
Will do! Thanks!!
Looks like fun. I’d love to come sometime. Just made my first meet up in mid Sept and completely agree with Chris about it solidifying a sense of community among fellow van people whether full time or part time. Scott arrives and the bourbon pours! Nice coffee bar Kait.
Thank you!
First! Lol! Great video, guys. Loved meeting Melissa and her attitude toward life❤
She’s a fun one. And man you were on top of the comments! Hope all is going well
Tents are welcomed? Hmm... I'm going to have to talk to my wife about going to a future campout :) We are still about 6 years away from getting a van of our own, but I've been following the RV scene and the Russos for a few years now. I finished the first book and have been reading the second book, Joe. Good stuff--thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you! And yes, everyone is welcomed to a campout
Scott in attendance! Did he bring whiskey?
Looks like it was a lot of fun! Hopefully we can join you on a campout next year.
Look forward to it! Maybe down at Disney
Hhi,Sorry we can't make it since it carries my last name yes Gunter. Looks like you'll had a great time!
Next time!
Looks like a lot of fun. Noticed everyone is in a class B.

One of these days we’ll accompany you all and convert you to scotch 😉
Nah - I used to be a Scotch drinker but found bourbon to be my thing.
@@Weretherussos respect to that, besides there’s no wrong answer, one likes what one likes. 👍🏽
Just kidding my RV up and rolling. I’m hoping I can join you guys next summer.
Look forward to it
