First camp since returning from Alaska Job!
My name is Brian. I live on the road full time in my self built camper van. Join me on my adventures.
In this video I leave my parking spot in Lakes Region, Maine. I head towards North Conway, New Hampshire to meet up with a fellow nomad. We find a nice free camp in the White Mountain National Forest near North Conway. It it located on Forest Road17 off Town Hall Road which is right off Route 302. I go for a hike around Mountain Pond and find a neat shelter in the woods. It feels great to be back boondocking with the van!
Thanks for watching!

If you get into Lincoln check out the Gypsy cafe. It's very good and food for any palet. The art work in there is very interesting even in the restrooms! LOL

Sooooooo good to have you back brian ....feels like part of my life's been missing ......don't go away again .😁

@grammathia3018 6 лет назад

So good to have one of your videos to enjoy with my morning coffee with. Now that you are done with the Alaska gig, and seeing as it wasn't the "funnest" job you ever had, I would love to hear you sit and talk more about your expectations and what it ended up being like. What didn't you like, what did you like, what are your regrets and recommendations to those thinking of doing a job like this, and will you go back to Alaska? I love learning from your adventures, good and bad, it is all interesting to me.

@sharongriffin342 6 лет назад

I would also love to hear your thoughts on the salmon boat job. So glad to see you back in nature. It is healing just watching it.

@AdventureVanMan 6 лет назад

It was great. $10k in 2 months. Probably only worked a total of 40 hours. Lots of time to read, write, and sleep. You can check out www.Alaskajobfinder.com to find a similar job.

@lehlah 6 лет назад

You inspire me to live life on the road but I don't have the means to do it...so for now it will have to remain a dream. Safe travels 👍

@fernwehforevertearofjoy409 6 лет назад

What a difference a week makes😊! Loved the shelter area for a day camp but, a little too rustic/open to critters & elements for me to enjoy a night's rest😆 Now I'm really missing NewEngland!😕 Your timing is great for fresh-picked, jumbo, SWEET blueberries.

@Rleetuber 6 лет назад

Watching videos like this bring great peace. Thank you.

@sue9322 6 лет назад

It’s so cool to have you camping in our neighborhood! Stay cool today another hot (90s) and humid one. It’s been unusual to have such a long stretch of this uncomfortable weather! Another short hike is Mt Willard on top of Crawford Notch (Rt 302), great bang for your efforts! A spectacular view of the valley.

@timstretton3174 6 лет назад

@sharonreynolds7783 6 лет назад

A couple of things: 1. Glad you're back 😃 2. Your uncle lives in a beautiful place. Maine is on my bucket list. 3. I never think of Maine or NH as being hot. That's interesting. 4. Is the Mountain Pond Loop Trail part of the Appalachian Trail? 5. Was the stream cold?

@catherinehicks8771 6 лет назад

I lived in Rhode island at the age of 9 and I got 2 chances to go to New Hampshire. Then, I got to go back in 1990 which was I'm not going to tell you how many years later cuz then you could figure out how old I am! I adore New Hampshire, I it is absolutely my favorite state in the entire United States! You are SO blessed to be there...

@thisspotrules3631 6 лет назад

"Leave No Trace"... except egg shells (at least cover!) and initials carved into trees and structures. I never understood the mentality... or lack of.. having to prove to others "I was here"?? These types just need to stay in their basements and avoid the daylight.

@PerfecStormTwins8 4 года назад

I am so ready to take off !!. getting some loose end taking care off and will be on the road by November. Live FREE or die. Be one with Nature ;-)

@namarose1 6 лет назад

How did it feel to be driving again??? Must feel different being on land after being on water??? I don't drive our RV but we pull a car so when I drive my car it's so wired for me. Almost like you forget how to drive.

@treysuniverserv1576 6 лет назад

Brian it is great to have you back from your Alaska Work adventure! Your videos are some of the very best on RU-vid, I have missed watching them regularly as you have been working.

@timstretton3174 6 лет назад

North Conway has a lot of outlet stores and a big vacation point in the Northeast. During the winter there are about half a dozen ski mountains in the general area. I’m in southern NH if you need a driveway.

@timwheel8466 6 лет назад

Absolutely awesome mate. Bet you're glad to be back doing what you know and love. Cool drone shots too mate. Stay safe and I look forward to the next adventure.

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 6 лет назад

Great to see you back at it again. That orange mushroom growing on the stump was called chicken fat. It would be been great with your breakfast. Just trim it close to the base but leave the root behind so it can grow again. Very tasty. Looks like a nice trout and Bass lake. But after all that Salmon I bet fish isn't high on your menu right now 😂

@aprilz6540 6 лет назад

And the last two were porcini! Stumbled onto a bit of a gold mine there!

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 6 лет назад

April Z I saw those but in the interest of keeping it simple I didn't want someone to pick a look alike and have any problems. I just point out simple to recognize mushrooms to peak people's interest in hunting edibles. But yep, they were peak!

@aprilz6540 6 лет назад

I don't think there are any boletes that are "kill-you-dead" poisonous. Of course, there are some iffy ones that some people can react to in a way that might make them wish they were dead...lol! In my woods we have tons of porcini and birch boletes along with oysters, but the chicken fat one I've not seen...that was really interesting. Now I have to go hunting again!

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 6 лет назад

April Z I see you have some knowledge in micillium I love hunting for new species of mushrooms and after years of learning how to identify and test them I'm ... confident 🤔 in my decisions but I always taste test and spore sample etc. Before I actually cook with them. It only takes one bad mushroom to, like you said. "Make you wish". Sofar I've been "lucky" but I try and think about it as I've learned well.

@aprilz6540 6 лет назад

Amen to that.

@trevorblake9466 6 лет назад

@irdiverdan 6 лет назад

I'll bet it feels GREAT to be back in the van and out in the woods...Nice spot to get back into the groove...Definitely a nice shelter...is this on the AT?

That lil shelter remind me of the time I went camping in 8th grade with the boys club, the camp ground was set up with about 8 of those, with bunk beds inside.

@David-rx2to 6 лет назад

Based on my limited experience camping at a shelter like that on the Laurel Highlands Trail in Western PA, my recommendation is not to sleep in those types of shelters. Because they get a lot of use, people leave/create a lot of food scraps around the shelter, so it becomes home to a tremendous amount of rodents. We didn't get much sleep because we had mice crawling all over us all night. Good to see you back Brian.

@mathalwaysii 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your adventure. May I ask how did you find the campsites? And would you share which road was it that you stayed in? Thanks

@mathalwaysii 2 года назад

Is it the dispersed campsites on East branch road?

@AdventureVanMan 2 года назад

This was years ago. If I remember correctly I was just exploring forest roads. I used a map to get an idea of the general area and was just driving around until I saw something that looked inviting. I'm from the west coast so I really don't know the names of any of the roads back east I wish I could be more of a help.

If you are still in that area I think you would love Cold River Campground in NH. (44.2650330,-71.0108238) We just left the area and are back in FL. I’ll take Maine humidity over Florida humidity.

@jasonaustin1038 6 лет назад

North Conway...TOURIST TRAP!! Nailed it! Check out Gorham, N.H. a few good free spots at Appalachian Trailhead (great day hikes up into the Carters and the Mahoosucs) outside of town and the National Forest north of town is left alone by the AMC. It's time you do an Appalachian Trail thru-hike....best adventure you'll ever have....a great way to make $3000 last 6 months.
