*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

    Maybe you could arrange hooks on the ceiling & hang it, horizontally

  8. George Clancy on June 18, 2023 at 1:45 pm

    I live like 20 minutes from knoxville. If you get the chance to go back through again, head to the Foothills parkway and even U.S. 129 Tail of the Dragon. Beautiful.

    Why don’t you make something that can hang the bike from the ceiling so you have that room you need?

  16. Butterflygrl_🦋 on June 18, 2023 at 1:55 pm

    Hi from Lafollette Tennessee

  17. Military Elder on June 18, 2023 at 1:56 pm

    Im currently investing into a van to live the nomad life this year, i cant wait to stop paying stupid as bills, make money on the road/internet and save so much money until i can buy some land, and build me up a nice lil cabin to live in.. !!!

  18. Erich Scheel on June 18, 2023 at 1:56 pm

    Count me in for a T shirt. With the current political climate this year wanting to kill small businesses in favor of the big corps who care nothing about the American people, I’m definitely down to support a small business. My second job ever was as a silk screener at a local apparel shop so I feel a kinship to these folks. Loved that gig. Please let us (your viewers) know. Love you brother and all you do. Peace!

    Every time I think of Tennessee I think of the horror movie Evil Dead 1 and Evil Dead 2 because it was filmed in Tennessee. 👹👺💀☠👻 Haha

    Hey you met Re-Bob!

  28. luvdady on June 18, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    Lol I live in the area rocky top was recently renamed that from lake city.
    There was a amusement park that was supposed to come to build with that name and bleh bleh.
    But hopefullhospitality. Good dose of east tenn hosptality.

  29. Justin R on June 18, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    That is not Rocky Top. It has nothing to do with the song. They just changed their name to that a few years ago. It shouldn’t have been allowed. Rocky Top was written in Gatlinburg Tennessee. I live near Knoxville and I refuse to call that place Rocky Top. It’s Lake City.

  30. BILL WILLIAMSON on June 18, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    may have to check them out to get some mini bike racin tee’s made up.

  31. Aaron Sharp on June 18, 2023 at 2:04 pm

    Cracker Barrel off Ceader Bluff about 1 mile from my home. Lol

  32. Dona Harrell on June 18, 2023 at 2:07 pm

    My grandmother had a thoroughbred breeding farm near Gallatin, TN. I spent many wonderful summers there!

    While the Bryants never indicated that "Rocky Top, Tennessee" refers to a specific place, some have suggested that a 5,440-foot (1,660 m) barren summit known as "Rocky Top"— located in the Great Smoky Mountains along the Tennessee-North Carolina border— is the best fit, due in large part to its proximity to Gatlinburg, where the song was written.[18][19]
    Rocky Top is a subpeak of Thunderhead Mountain, which overlooks Cades Cove, and is traversed by the Appalachian Trail.[20] Rocky Top appears on maps of the western Smokies as early as 1934,[21] and has been a popular hiking destination since the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was created during the same period. The rocky outcropping at the peak is about 25 yards (23 m) long.[22][23]
    Just thought I would throw this in the conversation.

  34. mrs Bee on June 18, 2023 at 2:10 pm

    Awesome, i am going to check them out. My hubby & family would like to relocate to the Knoxville Tennessee area. Get out of Illinois

  39. Christy Turpel on June 18, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    Hey!! How do you find living in a van with the tornadoes? I have come to the realization I’m a Gypsy and instead of moving house every 3 months it’s be so much easier to have a house that moves! Lol Thanks!

  40. Alyssa Soto on June 18, 2023 at 2:16 pm

    I am a new subscriber, and those shirts are AWESOME!! Hilarious! My son and I are star wars nerds, so he would love that! Nice! 💞👍

  46. Katherine Hudson on June 18, 2023 at 2:23 pm

    I take I-75 constantly. Grandparents own a house in Rugby, near Oneida where you camped.

  47. Jay Warren on June 18, 2023 at 2:30 pm

    Whenever you’re around Knoxville check out Brown Bike Farms. Great boondock spot.

  48. Jonathan Lawson on June 18, 2023 at 2:31 pm

    That little town you went through used to be lake city and it’s nothing but a meth town now it’s really sad I live off exit 122 about twenty miles south of rocky top and the movie king Kong or part of it was shot in that little town back in the early seventies

  49. Kristi K on June 18, 2023 at 2:32 pm
