Never "monotonous " for me Nate. Never worry about that. Real OGs will be here for whatever fills your day. So sorry that the heat has been so bad there. No fun at all.

Glad you're enjoying yourself, Nate. Thanks for taking us along. Take care.

Cool video. Shows that it's possible to stay around a city for a while and how to move around and stay stealth. Thanks for sharing.

The storms that come through that part of the country and the humidity keeps me away.

High humidity is why I spend my summers on the West Coast.

A Surf Park tour across the US might be some good content for the channel and fun for you

Hi Nate I completely agree with you van life and stealth camping has changed I remember 20 years ago no one noticed me when I was doing it nowadays it’s just a common occurrence and parking lots are closed due to litter
