Thanks for this great Video with beautiful sceneries. There isn't one Meter of lake- or riversides with free access in Germany/Austria and Switzerland, let alone with free Camping for several days. It is unfree.
Make good use of your freedom. good luck

I was wondering you deal with your grey water from the sink. Do you have a holding tank or a receptacle to catch it? Trying to figure out our buildout

The best way to start into a new week on monday morning here in germany is grabbing a coffee and watching Nomadbrad. If someone asks me how a peaceful and fulfilling life looks, i show them your videos...keep it up Brad!

Hey Brad, there is a Nomad YouTuber name Sarah Foss who's traveling in Oregon right now & I think it whould be amazing if you guys met up & filmed the encounter.

She's adventurous smart and very cute. I think you guys could be a odd Couple because she's kind of type A go-getter and you're more easy going & chill, could be an interesting story dynamic with possibilities.

I Sent her a comment about you as well.

@TheMalibuHobo

@

Brad, I love your new co-star. She's so photogenic. I'm sure that's not why you adopted her, but she absolutely is.

@billiedoux

@

We have some pretty serious wildfires south of where you're at, so please be careful, and don't expect the air to stay clean and the land to remain safe to camp on.

@StephenHutchison

@

Please stay in Oregon and just keep bopping around. California is going to be under water soon anyways with all the water lines busting.

Wow! Beautiful scenery! And cute pup. Another great video!

@kfeldinAZ

Loved your video tonight! My grandmother was born in Oregon and I always believed I would visit one day or make a trip back with her before she passed but we never did, so watching your video today was a real treat. Loved the pelicans. How far North are you heading? Lucy seems to be loving the nomad life! She’s the cutest.

@SandraD2025

That American hobo. Omg. was that a really a poop bucket. I laughed for a full 2 minutes straight my eyes were tearing up

@SiZZER3030

@

Looks like a great camp site. Always love your videos. Also your lives. Lucy is doing good very cute. Pelicans are neat birds.

@JanetHall-eh9lq

I like your videos, thanks for sharing. I have had a couple DJI Mavics and they have amazing 4k videos and great flight controls. Some very nice places you picked to camp. the train guy at your same location was pretty cool.

I watch that train dude. American hobo. He's awesome...

How do you find the free spots like th I s I ne? Is there a map that tells you or a app?

@LoveYourself-1970

i've never realized until a couple of years ago how much the phrase... "i wanna live in a van down by the river" actually truly sounds like a great idea right now

In 1980 in the town I grew up in "Living in a van by the river" meant drug dealer 😂

@puddle58

Lucy looks very comfortable. We had a 250,000 mile terrier. She rode on the middle console for most of those miles.

@annmeadlin4575

You even filmed a train while in that parking spot. Maybe on the same track Hobo's train was on?

Watch out for your salad we’ve been having a lot of problems with getting sick from salads. Last thing you want is full-fledged diarrhea.

That water just empties out in the ocean what a waste they need to divert it send it to Arizona and California. It’s a lot of water. Nobody would have a problem with how much there is they just need to dig a trench the whole way water problem eliminated because we’re just wasting it right out to the ocean freshwater from Canada

@Dvst8u

@

Just got into American Hobo! Bucket is for food and valuables!

@thisfinitelife

When you filmed the mountain at the 18:30 mark, all I could think of was the movie, The Princess Bride... See! The Cliffs of Insanity! LoL. I'm so jealous of your life.

@NomadBrad, in case you’re unaware, Meyers’ brand cleaners are not safe nor healthy, as they are advertised. You’re better to use either full-strength white vinegar or a 50/50 vinegar/distilled water mixture, and also 91% Isopropyl Alcohol as cleaners.

I quit using Dawn dish detergent years ago, because it is not as safe as they advertised. I’ve been using only vinegar and alcohol for the last 7 years, and I’ll never go back to chemical-laden “cleaners.”

What breed and color is Lucy? She's such a good girl. Love seeing Oregon, my home state.

@forensicchic

Thanks for the great spots up that way! I go up there to Oakridge, OR every June for the Bus Fair and always looking for new spots. Also, I've always wondered about that seasoning when I see it at Sam's Club. American Hobo is great! He's definitely hit the nomad alagarhythm recently. I've just been watching him for a few weeks now.

They keep their stuff in those plastic buckets because it's waterproof.

All you need is someone to invent “water panels “. And you can be off grid forever 😂.
