Last Camp in Washington - Giving Thanks 

Beautiful tribute to your Uncle, he will always be in your heart . Well done Brian.✌️🤎

My condolences on your loss. "We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time". Literally words to live by. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Rest in Peace Uncle Tom. I am sorry for your loss Brian. It's awesome that you got to see him and spend time with him. Uncles matter.

Brain, I offer my condolences in the loss of your Uncle. May God grant you and your family peace in this time of grief. Your RU-vid subscribers love you, man. Hang in there, we are rooting for you!

Your Uncle Tom sounds like he was an important mentor in your life and his words still are-sending healing thoughts your way Brian

Those words are right on the button. I hope Mr. Tom is at peace, and that his memory be a blessing to you, and your family.🙏

Wonderful tribute to your uncle, may he rest in peace.... Brian, it's because of you and your videos that me & Julie made a life changing decision, we were living in Nashville, working in the music industry, had good jobs with great pay and benefits and working towards are retirement. The Nashville music scene has changed drastically in the last 10 years and if you didn't embrace those changes, you were left on the outside looking in, so we decided it was time for a change, we both are outdoor people that love to travel and chase warm weather, so we sold our home and rental properties, and bought a Chevy Van and with some help of some friends we built it out in one week. Two weeks later we hit the road with no destination except warm weather, our first year on the road we stayed in Arizona the whole time and loved it, the second year we traveled quite a bit in Florida, when we arrived in the Florida Keys, something sparked, it's like we knew this is where we belong. Julie and I are avid sailors and have owned several small sailboats along the way. We decided a live aboard sailboat would fit our needs perfectly and 4 days later we found a 41 foot boat in excellent shape and the rest is history....

🙏 Uncle Tom sounds like an awesome guy. You were lucky to have him in your life and in his passing his memory will be carried with you forever. ☮

I was going to say something that I thought was wise and thoughtful but you and Uncle Tom got there first. Happy Thanksgiving Brian and rest in peace Tom.

You bring inspiration to me every week for the last four or five years. I cannot tell you how much this video meant to me today.

Sorry for your loss, Brian. Rest in Peace to your uncle, and thank you for sharing your travels with us.

Rest in peace Tom. Hope your day is filled with love, Brian.

What a wonderful way to live your life!

Thank you Brian. For honoring your uncle and reminding us about the things we should be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

My deepest sympathy to you, Brian. What a lovely tribute to your uncle. I’m sure you were a blessing to him, as you are to all of us. ❤

So sorry to hear about your loss. He sounds like he was quite the inspiration for you. Thank you for being so authentic and for sharing your travels with us.🙏 🤙

Sending you light and love. It is never easy to lose someone so special! You have created a wonderful life for yourself. You also share your joy with all of us! Thank you and now on to the next adventure!

I always look forward to a new video. I've enjoyed them all for years and years, keep them coming Brian. My condolences to you and all of your family.

Thank you Brian for the gift of this special video. What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Uncle on such an appropriate day. I am so sorry for your loss,but I know you have some wonderful memories stored in your heart and mind. I will be lighting a candle for all those that have gone on before us, until we all meet again. God bless you, hugs, Louise

Another great video Brian, and a wonderful tribute to your uncle Tom. Hold on to the wonderful memories I'm sure you have of time spent with him. Peace ✌️

Sorry for your loss. May you keep on traveling for years to come. Have a peaceful Thanksgiving.

"Not here for a long time. Here for a good time." Excellent motto. Peace to your Uncle Tom. We all need heroes like him in our lives. Glad he was there for you.

You are an inspiration to all of us here. Have a peaceful Thanksgiving.😀😊🙂

Heartfelt and wonderful tribute to your Uncle Tom and a life lesson to all of us to look deep inside, be thankful for all we have and live life to the fullest with a positive perspective and grateful heart. Thank you for being there, Brian. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and many blessings to you and Kelly.

Well I am sure your Uncle was as thankful for your company as you were of his. Giving thanks for what we experience in life is what makes us human. Great video Brian and a huge Happy Thanksgiving to both you and Kelly.

Great looking steaks! Thanks for the campfire this morning and Happy Thanksgiving to you, Brian!!!! So sorry to hear about the passing of your Uncle. Peace to you and yours.

RIP Uncle Tom. Sounds like a wonderful guy who lived a wonderful, all be it cumbersome life. And here's to you Brian for filling my weeks with these wonderful videos. Happy Thanksgiving Brian.

An appropriate day to give thanks to what is important in your life. Happy Thanksgiving Day Brian.

As we sat around the table today, after enjoying our thanksgiving meal, we reminisced of Tom. I commented on how much of a hero he was. How he always had a positive outlook on life. Hearing you say the same thing made me smile. He was a good man for more reasons than I could put to words. Normally he would have joined us today and you know.... he was there in spirit. Without a doubt. Thank you for a wonderful tribute to him.

Such a great tribute not only to your uncle but to your life’s choice of living in the road about a year ago I chose to live out of my car not for necessity but to experience the freedom it allows. Safe travels my friend.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BRIAN. Your Uncle is now flying high Watching over you. He is no longer in pain. I’m sure he is loving seeing what you are doing & seeing all the sights you are having fun doing.. GOD BLESS FROM WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND ✝️🇺🇸😊🦃🚜

Hey Brian..sorry to hear of the passing of your uncle. Glad he was able to pass his positive attitude about life on to you. Life is what we make of it..we all have much to be thankful for ! 😁👍🙏✌️

We are thankful for you and your adventure Brian.

😭 Oh Brian, what a beautiful tribute to your Uncle Tom! I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest peacefully in heaven❤️🙏

Thank you so much for sharing your life and experiences with us. So very sorry for your Uncles passing. Seeing you from coast to coast and time with family and friends reaffirms your choices. I sold my NoCal home of 38 years in 2015 and moved into a class c... never regretted it... covid knocked me off the road as most fed and state volunteer positions disappeared. I've since built a small house as a home base and pray for the difficult times and prices will change and getting back on the road in the future. Our lives have been changed by self serving subhumans who are only searching for their own interests. I have no good wishes for their kind and pray we the people can see the light and turn around the direction our country is going. Sorry for the rant. Safe travels dear Brian.

Our condolences Brian, your tribute to your Uncle Tom was obviously straight from your heart and beautiful. We have been following you for years now, just don’t comment much as life is busy these days, but felt it necessary to comment today. Your Uncle Tom’s “words to live by’ are amazing and we couldn’t agree more! We have been enjoying all of your adventures over the years and will soon be joining you in the full time RV life next year. Finally retired! Hope to see you on the road and maybe have the honor of shaking your hand some day. Keep up the great videos and your amazing attitude toward life! Respectfully, Tom and Sarah

Wonderful video and perspective, Brian. I am sorry for your loss. I know the feeling. All the very best to you and Kelly. ❤❤

Brian, I am sorry for your loss. Your uncle sounds like he was a great man. Thank you for reminding us what is really important in life. I truly enjoy your videos and seeing this beautiful country through your eyes. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Thank you, and uncle Tom, and all the uncle Tom's in the world! Grateful for all the ones that have a positive influence in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving Brian and Kelly 🦃🍁🍽

Condolences Brian on your Uncle’s passing. Despite his challenges in later years that we will all face, sounds like he had an amazing attitude and amazing life.

great tribute and one line i will remember "we are not here for a long time but we are here for good time" I'm going to remember that

So sorry for the loss of your Uncle. Excellent Tribute to your Uncle! Take care Brian and safe travels!

Brian, I am a 69 yr old grandmother from Pennsylvania who has been enjoying your channel for quite a while now. And I do remember your visit to your Uncle Tom. Hugs to you and your family. I enjoy traveling along with you on all your travels. And it's always nice to see Kelly too! Your laid back style brings me peace and you have the kindest eyes!

Thanks, Brian. Watching you adventure and evolve for some years now has added great pleasure and brought inspiration to many of us out here caught in the matrix of materialism. Besides making your own life a "good time" you are inspiring others to do so (thanks, Uncle Tom). I hope you can take time today, Thanksgiving Day, to realize that this is helping to heal the world. All of us fans/followers THANK YOU.

What a great tribute to your uncle. I’m glad you have found your happy path, one that allowed you to spend time with your uncle. The experiences we have here on earth will stay with us through the eternities. Happy Thanksgiving!

So sorry for your loss. You never get over the loss of a loved one, you just learn to live with it. God give you peace and comfort.

Thanks for the beautiful tribute to brother Tom. He was a hero to many people.

May your uncle Tom rest in God's presence, for in His presence is the fullness of joy. Psalm 16:11

I’ve enjoyed your journey since the beginning Brian and enjoyed seeing your growth and calm through the years. It was nice that your uncle had such a nice spot to enjoy his life and share with you on your visits. Time moves on and it’s nice to be able to look back on those that have made a positive impact in our lives. You will be full of those memories. Happy Thanksgiving!

Condolences to you and your family, ... and may your uncle ALWAYS be in your thoughts, and in your heart ..... R.I.P. Tom

Your uncle was only eight years older than me when he passed. I think I need to use that as a sign that I have to get things sorted soon if I want to have a shot at van life myself. Thanks for the gentle, but clear, wake up call.

I have been watching you almost since the very beginning and I can clearly see in your eyes, the transformation over the years of van life for you and the peace you have in this new life. What a great lesson from Uncle Tom and may you find more joy in the memories than sadness at his death. Peace!

Let us take care of ourselves and our environment along the way. Peace, health, love and happiness everyone...

As usual your channel is always uplifting and inspiring to me! Sorry to hear about your Uncle Tom, I lost my wife 2 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't remember something special she said or did! Today is Thanksgiving and my beautiful daughter is starting our tradition of family and food! It's also my 67th. Birthday, and your video was the first thing that popped up! The area you camped around was the places I would go to hunt elk! So this video for me today was impart brought to me by my wife talking to your uncle Tom! Sorry but I believe in those kinds of things! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy travels my friend!

Hello Brian, You honor your Uncle well, with this video and words. God bless him and you. And may our Great Creator always guide your path. After following your journey and video's all these years. You have been a great inspiration to me on starting my own fulltime truck camper life. It began September 29th after finishing the build of my overland mini home, which started after the passing of my best friend and wife of 27 years, ( Melanie ) on June 16th 2022. She also lost the battle with cancer. I hope our paths may cross some day. It would be a great honor to meet you face to face. Sincerely much love to you from Robert from ME and NH.

Thanks Brian, great words from your uncle and you. You've been an inspiration to me and my decision to live and travel in a van. Thanks for sharing your life and wisdom. Peace

Sorry for your loss Rest in Peace Uncle Tom 😪

thank you for sharing this. Beautiful tribute. I am sorry for your loss.
