You know what I love about Bob the most? He never discounts anything. You have a RV? Great, live in it. You have a car? Great, live in it. You have a tent, YES!! Do it. I've watched so many videos and every one of them always has these dire warnings. Don't do this, don't do that. If you're not this...you can't do this. Bob never says that. He offers things that will help, offers advice, but in the end, he's optimistic about everything. I love that if I come out there and I'm living on my bicycle, Bob is going to be like "This is great!!" He proves time and time again, you don't need to be rich, you don't need fancy stuff and you certainly don't need a 60K RV to enjoy life. Keep them coming, Bob.

Thank you so very much ❤️ You're a true American Patriot. The American government... did not give the Native American Indian....any land, we owned it....it was stolen from us, by settlers, American Calvery launching unlawful war against our people....we made treaties and they broke them...... they surrendered back a portion of our stolen land and called it a Reservation...... We are and we were always a Sovereign independent Nation....... I just thought you should know. God bless you brother......we are glad to be friends with you.... you enjoy freedom and glad we can share our freedom.... Chief Jones Native American Indian Tribal Member, Medicane Man Council to our Tribe

Bob, you are the ideal human being that we all could look up to. I'm very grateful that you put all your focus and engery in making these videos, so us free spirits trapped in everyday rat race have some kinda hope that there is another way to live. Thank you Bob for all you have done.

well, he kept his promise, love all the content on his channel. Who is watching this during quarantine?

I lived on the Quechan Indian Res for ten years, year around in an old travel trailer. During the hot months I swam in the All American Canal twice, sometimes three times a day, it wasn't legal, but there were ways to do it with out getting caught. Oh, and the name of the Casino was the Paradise Casino. I used to eat their breakfast buffet several times a month. The camping fee during the time I was living there was $36 for three months. From the video it sounds like it might be less now-$86 for a whole year. If you're into being a recluse like I was, camping there is a great way to go. I called my campsite Palo Verde Camp, sure do miss it.

Bob is totally Mr. Positive Energy. Thanks for putting so much positive into your videos.

I no longer feel as if I can't travel alone and be alone, great service you're doing bob!! Thx

Hi Bob, I just want to take a moment and thank you for not just this video, but all the others that have been so helpful to me. It is great you are trying to help people understand what is available to them. I enjoy them and I have learned so much from them.

Four years later I find this gem of a video. Thank you, Bob! I will soon be living in my van and traveling throughout the lower 48, Canada and Alaska. I love finding and seeing the places where dispersed camping is allowed. I'll camp at a KOA, state park campgrounds and other places that charge fees but only while in route to a designated area.

Americans do pick crops when they have the opportunity. My mother and I both worked in an apple orchard picking apples - and she had a back problem and other issues. And it was no less back breaking than any other kind of harvesting.My siblings and I also detasseled corn and walked beans. Americans - at least rural Americans, will take whatever work they are given. And sometimes they will do it for free even if they are having problems themselves - such as scooping snow for elderly people who can't do it for themselves.

When I watch your videos, I feel like I can do anything....Thanks for your wealth of information Mr. Bob :-)

Thank you for speaking up for the migrant workers, I live in wine country and we need all of help we can get

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this man. He is so optimistic and positive. This has quickly become one of my top three favorite channels.

You are a wealth of knowledge Bob as always thank you.

Love you Bob! Thank you for giving folks hope, being positive, educating folks on opportunities and survival and bringing a sense of normalcy for those who choose a nomadic lifestyle.

great, I feel the same way , I don't want to live cramped up in an rv park I just want a safe place to camp freely. you have given me very valuable information on dispersed camping definetly going to use that method

I must say you have quite the 'variety' of people that follow your channel, and I admire your restraint in not being baited by a lot of comments from people who's views clearly don't align with your own. :)

Yuma produces more food per acre than anywhere in the USA. Their fields produce several crops a year. Its crazy how much lettuce comes out of Yuma.

I'm in Australia. I live in a little townhouse with hubby and 3 doggies. I love to watch your videos. They light a fire in me that I didn't know existed. This would be a fabulous way to holiday in the USA, possibly stealthily, if you can support the investment of a stealth camper (buying it, using it and then selling it). I would love to stay a couple of weeks, as part of a couple of months in the USA. Oh, and maybe get some dental work done too, if needed. 😁 Keep the videos coming. Loving them as a little escape from life.

Thanks for the tip Bob. I stayed in the truck lot at the Quechan casino for a few weeks. They did not charge and some had been in the same spot for months. It is well lit and security comes through every so often. I think the small fee to be out on open land would be worth it honestly and you are still close to the casino, the border and a quick drive to town for whatever you need.

Just a friendly FYI friend, it is pronounced Kwatsan (Kwat Son), Miss my homeland.

Thank you, Bob. Exceptional video. I also admire your restraint with the politics. FACTS are important. You inspire me and thousands of others.

Thanks Bob! Just bought a class c rv because I was so inspired by you and Carolyn about rv life and travel. I watch every video and want you to know how very much I appreciate your channel, sharing, teaching and caring about others. God bless!

Bob your so awesome with all the info you provide. I'm so working on being free and Happy. You and Carolyn rock!!!

I lived in Phoenix and Yuma for years in a 84 Winnebago Chieftain with No A/C! A bit warm in the summer.

AMEN, I HAVE A NEIGHBOR THATS A DISABILITY BUM HE NOW HAS A TRAVELTRAILER & 4 WHEELERS THANKS 2 WE WORKING TAXPAYERS.

bob I didn't know you can camp that close to the border I now have more knowledge thank you.

Thanks Bob I can't imagine anyone not paying the 86 fee.That would be very bad karma after all the Native Americans have been through and continue to go through. So appreciative of you sharing. What a fortunate spot close to so many resources and adding the birds is so wonderful. Do you know if they are spraying the crops with any pesticides? That is one thing I wouldn't feel comfortable with or feel would be good for the health of the fish, folks etc. Great video once again:)

2020 Update: We called and inquired with the tribe about this and we were quoted different prices each time we called (We called twice.) and it was closer to 100 than 86 both times but what was the same was that we were told permits were now good for 3 months. Perhaps as they become familiar with some Nomads who return regularly they may offer better deals. I just thought I'd pass on the updated information we were given.

Bob you are such a wealth of information, and I truly appreciate all that you take the time to share with us. You are an amazing human being, and we are lucky to have you.

👍😍That’s where I need to be. I’m one of those people who need & thrive in with sunshine. Thanks so much for the info. 💞

Thank you so much, Bob. The information you share is so helpful. I feel hopeful about life when I watch your videos or read your words. I appreciate you more than I can accurately express. Peace to you, my friend.

I use to live in ca but have been living in South Florida for the past 25 year. I've been to death valley many times on 120 degree days and let me tell u, even a 90 degree day in Florida, is dramatically hotter than death valley on it's hottest day. Humidity makes the night and day difference.

Bob, I lived in the northern desert of Arizona (between Kingman and Flagstaff). We used to go to Yuma once a month so we could cross the border into Los Algodones and pick up medications for about 1/4 of what we paid for them in the states. I love that little town. If I'm ever blessed enough to make it back out there I hope to run into you

Great! My father was 1/4 Cherokee and my mom 1/4 Chocktaw. My little brother was born on Indian land. The first black child born on the rez next to Cottonwood Idaho. He was a premie at 12lbs at birth also. He grew to 6'8 till he passed from Cancer in 04.

Nice catfish in that canal. Use Uncle Charlie's stink bait with a treble hook

Thanks so much Bob your awesome. I love what you do. Teaching people how to live well on a small budget.

Thanks a whole lot Bob, for sharing so much of your hard learned knowledge about living for Cheap in that great area of Arizona and right on the Border. I gotta visit that area some time later this year. You're a great Scout.

What i love about bob cody brian and families. Is absolutely everything.

I just want to say Thank You. I’m learning a lot and I’m beginning to think I can do this. Many blessings to you.

sounds like a bargain, if you stay there half a year it's $0.50 a day! and restrooms and water...

Yuma has a great amount of RV stores and supplies. Water and Propane, etc.

Again, many thanks. You are the cool breeze and shaded grass in the burning desert. Take care.

This could be a gold mine for truckers with all the cross border loads out of there. Since I’ve been on this channel I’ve found that I’ve been past all these places a hundred times and never thought about these topics.

Absolutely Beautiful, Native Americans probably have the best survival skills and can teach us a lot. Thanks for sharing Bob.

the birds are herons! they fly down from Wisconsin and as far as Canada for the winter!

I'm a Naturopath in Australia and I recommend garlic for lowering blood pressure. Six cloves a day for six weeks to bring it below normal. Take care not becomes too low. Dizziness is a sign it is too low. Aho from Cherokee lost in Oz PS U can just peel garlic and cut it up and swallow it

Bob, another great informative video. You keep doing great ones to keep people informed of where, how, and why to disperse camp. Thank you for all the you do and give to your channel to teach people a new way of living. Thank you so much. Stay safe and happy adventures. Bob, I hope and pray that your Mom is doing ok. And I hope and pray that the rest of the family is doing ok. Love Joyce

I get so much good info from your videos. Thank you so much for making these, I really appreciate it!

thanks, Bob, for an informative video for those looking for an alternative, nomadic lifestyle. You can't find rent THAT low anywhere in the U.S. .. of course, you can't expect much in return either . However, you have proven that a person CAN make it work. Unfortunately, some people lose site of what your channel is all about, and instead use it as a soap box to climb upon to spout their own agendas from. Sad that some of us folks, who are SERIOUSLY choosing the nomadic lifestyle (in order to get away from the 'noise' , bickering & who's right/who's wrong).. Have to put on our boots to wade thru the bullsh*t in the comments ! I was ACTUALLY hoping to read more about What it's like to CAMP there ? or... What kinda FISH you can catch in that canal ? I'll keep watchin', Bob and Thanks again for another great video : )

Really great info. Just got my passport, so I can cross with 2018 RTR group.

I live in Yuma almost 3 years and do get tired of the sunshine here. I lived 63 years in California (southern mostly) and lots of sunshine, but not quite so hot and still get lots of rain (even though some people think it never rains in California). I heard Yuma is one of hottest cities in U.S., but I think Phoenix beats Yuma for heat. Today it was 116 degrees. Been meaning to go to the Q casino. Thanks for this video--very interesting and informative.

Great for us who are craving our freedom....thank you ❤

Another spectacular video.

Florida is called the "Sunshine State" because of the "dry season" that affects mainly the southern half of Florida. S.W. Florida (Ft. Myers area) has the largest extreme between its wet and dry seasons you'll find anywhere. From November to May it is sunny, dry, and even low humidity almost every day. It rarely rains during these months. The "Snow Birds" come down to enjoy the warm sunny weather during the cooler months of the year. Then from June to October southern Florida switches over to the rainy season. Fort Myers, for example averages over 10" of rain in June and over 50" of rain annually, with most of it falling during the Summer season. This also coincides with Hurricane Season (June - Nov). But November is usually a sunny and dry month that starts off the "dry season" again. Then for the next 7 months it's very sunny and dry again. S. Florida is also the warmest place in the U.S. during the Winter. It's much warmer than the desert southwest, where it can get quite cold at times during the Winter (even a rare snowfall can be seen in the desert S.W. during the Winter. But the desert southwest is much hotter and drier during the Summer than south Florida. While its extremely hot in the southwest U.S. during the Summer, Florida is very humid with lots of thunderstorms. It rains (thunderstorms) almost every day across southern Florida during the Summer. It doesn't rain all day, but a strong thunderstorm can be expected pretty much every afternoon. The rest of the day is sunny, hot, and very humid.

Funny! That's me at time 7:19 through 7:26 - white class A with Suzuki parked along side! That's a nice area but they do charge to stay there - not consistently, but there is a charge. When they came a knocking - I simply moved to the casino parking area - which remains free. Smile :) & Be BRAVE!

Excellent video this is something that I can look forward to during my retirement years

You got me excited! I'm so putting that location on the top of my list! 💚💚💚 Bless your heart Bob for giving us this valuable information!

GREAT place for Spring,Fall and Winter

Been dreaming / wishing to be near Indigenous people. Looks like a great place for WINTER time.

This looks like a good place for me, because I like to be close to facilities and shopping, but still somewhat out of the way of the crowds.

Great video series! You can also camp at the indian casino by the territorial prison and colorado river, it's free to camp in an RV or van, I don't think a tent would be a good idea, but you can be in downtown Yuma in about five minutes from the camp area (plowed dirt rows just past the paved parking lot.

For your high blood pressure medicine...consider the benefits of utilizing a "keto " dietary lifestyle. Within 3 to 6 weeks your blood pressure will normalize and the cardiovascular inflammation will stop and reverse itself. Happy camping to you.

That place has changed so much since I used to camp there. I guess you could call it camping, we lived in a cave there in 1972-73 which is now long gone.

Love your freedom videos. I am from Norway, but dream about RV living and see your beautiful countrie. Sad though that Indian tribes do not have the best areas possible for their land. Blessings🇳🇴❤🇺🇸😊🐶🤠

Thanks for the great info Bob! I wonder if the Quechan realize the money they could make by having: a fuel station, showers, toilet, dump station, water station, RV washing station. All these at low price. Or the Mexicans south of the border. Money for them, comfort for RV dwellers. Great to know about the buffet!

Talked to Gordon Osborne, Tribal fish & game and the dispersed camping rent is now $110 for 3 months. They have shorter times and prices but that is the long term rate now.

Heard this 3 years ago,,less than 100 days until retirement. on my list of places to live,,except in the summer.👍🏼✌🏼😎

I would love a list of areas you have gone and enjoyed disperse camping (or at least some I'm sure you have a ton)

Bob, great video, I'll have to check the blog for info about about dumping tanks and temps throughout the winter at the reservation.

I'm always inspired by you Bob. Thanks very much for your shows. Cheers Jana New Zealand

Gosh Bob this is my all time favorite U Tube channel. Thank You

Hi Bob, I really enjoy your videos. If you haven't already, can you make a video on how nomads receive refills on their prescription medication across the country?

Great info, and nice visual tour. TFS!

yuma holds the gueiness book of records for the sunniest place on EARTH!

How cool this brings back some awesome memories , I use to live in Yuma back in the 1970s and I may soon go back to retire . We would river raft and hike and ride at the sand dunes :)

Thanks Bob! Very good to know! Take care!

thanks bob for another great vid keep em coming

Good day Bob. Nice to hear all the information-s you are giving to folks on camping and life on the road generally...I enjoy listening to you and also to see the views where ever you may be traveling on.Some folks have an unusual accent from the America, but i can understand you loud and clear. As ever, it's a pleasure to see your videos.Take good care. From a Dreamer of traveling on the road.

Thanks so much for yet another great video. You make me feel like I can do anything! I am going to start traveling in 2 months. I am totally excited.

When they say u can fry an egg on the cement or in a car, it's true.

For the most part I like your videos. To insult my people or label them as slow is rude Bob!!!

So good to see ya back & have you sharing good info. Haven't been on channel lately but will be & be looking forward to more of your vids, Thank you Bob!!

Nicely framed video; great production improvement. Content deserves it. Thanks Bob!

good job! i like the visual ,aspect

You do know the more people who start living on the road, the more government will be looking at them as a stream of revenue. I can foresee more taxes, more regulations, and more government interference.

Another awesome video full of helpful info I didn't already know. Big thanks, Bob!🙏

Used to be an otr produce trucker, I certainly miss the desert South West! I started staying in my 02'dakota with a topper on the back in South Bend, In. for the savings, upgraded the topper to a light, but badly abused truck camper, .$250.. LoL. Boondocking is a good life. Thankyou for the videos and sharing your working knowledge. The Hoosier will have to do for now, but as soon as my son finishes school, we will be out there! Thanks again!

I enjoy your videos very much-information I truly appreciate. Glad you have a site on Amazon. At 71 years didn't get to see the country cause husband wouldn't. I love all the people you interview. God bless and keep you for many many happy years! 👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻✝️🌹

Thank you Bob

Thank you for your Happy Personality in your videos!

One of my favorite people to watch in this type of thing thank you so much

Modern day John Muir leading campers into nature

Im in Yuma born and raised and i never knew that. Thanks

Thx to the people, who bring the truth, there are many GOOD things about Mexico and its people. Good people see and hear other good people.

thankyou for saying and emphaslizing :you can do it. thankyou Bob!

I hope I can enlighten some minds with this comment. The issue of migrant labor is one of economics. The American field worker is unemployable because they live in America. As Bob has shown us, the cost of essential items and services is much less in Mexico. An equivalent wage for an American field worker needs to be much higher, because they get their essential items and services in America. That significantly increases the final price of the product they would produce, namely fruits and vegetables. The American customer is very unlikely to purchase a $10 head of lettuce. So the agricultural business makes the correct decision for their economics and employs migrant workers. It isn't about Americans being lazy, or entitled, or weak, it is about money.

Thank's, Bob!

I have only just come across this video, but enjoy it more than I can ever express. As soon as I can get social security to come through, I plan on getting a van to convert into a camper van and hit the road to work on my bucket list. I plan on doing it for at least 6 months to a year. If I like it, I plan on continuing the adventure. If I don't like it, I plan on finding a small piece of land and creating a completely off grid tiny house homestead. Once that is done, I plan on doing that indefinitely. If it doesn't work out, I will sell it and find a tiny house somewhere. Either way, I have plans for my future.

Jan 17 2019.. I am camped about 150 feet south of the All American Canal and about 1000 feet west of Calif SR 186. Cost to camp on Quechan land just south of casino. Ranger came by an hour ago. $10 for a day. $40 for 2 weeks. $110 for 90 days. no year long rate option was offered. Asked about the $86 a year camping and Ranger said never heard of it.. except from people saying they saw it on the internet.
