WARNING!! This video contains footage that some people may find disturbing!
Hello guys! Ben and Rebecca of his-and-hers vlogs and welcome to
another studio session. I think we may have taken this one a bit too far this
time. We!...We...Yeah! Guilt by association. You're wearing the fake Walmart uniform
to...You made me do it. So.... As you know I like to stir the pot and...You know we're RV travelers.
We spent the better part of two years driving around North America for that
matter in our motorhome. And we have a lot of memorable experiences...At Walmart's
in particular!...Exactly! It's not that bad of a deal, when you're on the move. You
know you have the self-contained unit. You don't have to pay for a place to
park every single night...Now especially when you're moving between places and
you're just, it's just one night.It's perfect! Really... Exactly!... Perfect! You can
stop and get a red box. You can even get a haircut... You can do a lot at the Walmart. So let's jump right in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Our buddy Keith from Alaskan Motorhome..... Yeah this one is fun because we actually
have footage from someone other than ourselves in this parking lot of our rig.
And we loved that Keith he, he loves... So Keith... A little background. Keith loves to
stop by the Fairbanks Walmart during the summer. Really popular place for folks to
pull in after they've done the Alcan or before they hit the Alcan. And some
people are known to stay more than one night there. ...And the rigs can be mighty
colorful and interesting....Yes they can! So I do see the appeal and keep going down there...
But let's just roll the footage.....
Oh my God!!...They have plug-ins for you? They're plugged in.... No shit!...I'm not shitting...
I think it's plugins for people, for like cars...for block heaters but the RVs
are using them. Alright let's do a boondocking report!
Alot of RVs here... Alot of RVs. This one sat here all summer last year.
That scenic Cruiser.... hmmmm... Now the reason I'm out here is, is because I know there
was an RV out here that I've been looking for. Check this out...
I see on the back window... Nelle Seward Alaska....
His-and-Hers Alaska!!! Ben and Rebecca..... Ben and Rebecca...They got
the curtains drawn they might not be home...They might not be home... Bummer!
Pretty exciting stuff seeing somebody, another fellow youtuber....So i got them this little magnetic muse and a nice little postcard I can write a note on... Hey Ben and
Rebecca! Saw your RV and wanted to stop by and say welcome home to Alaska!
Thank you very much Keith!... Okay... So the next one on the list.. I think you
probably should talk about because I really didn't see much of it. You
wouldn't let me out of the motorhome in Cortez, Colorado.... Yeah, yeah! This is the
shadiest Walmart camping parking lot that we had seen in our travels up to
that point. That was until we went to the one in Taos New Mexico. But I don't have
any footage of that so I don't have something to show you...
But that one was bad to! My part kind of goes out to some of the people that were
camped there. I almost think they were living there. I know they, they had some
struggles and it was just nasty in a way... But I don't wanna like... feel you know,
be like stuck up or anything but, it was just.... I guess gonna let the footage
speak for itself.... Good morning from Cortez, Colorado! We
spent the night at a Walmart and this is a very interesting Walmart!... So some of
the rigs here are... You know... Fairly modern! But then..... But then over there you got one
that looks like the top of the cab over has been smashed down. You've got
somebody who added in addition to their little cab over on their Class C...And
then over here on our starboard side... There's some vehicles that I'll be
damned if they don't look abandoned... Like that one has the window smashed out!
Somebody might be staying in that van. That green thing wasn't there earlier...
But that Explorer was there all night! See yeah! It's a pretty diverse crowd and
also there's a legal weed shop right here in the parking lot.... You know I'm
remembering that trip to Cortez and just thinking about... We had some really
interesting experiences in parking lots and that part of Colorado. Because that's
also where we had to change out the toilet in the parking lot...Really late at
night in Durango... Yep! So something about the parking lots in the corner of
Colorado really interesting experiences for us! So...Alright
Next one...Right next door is a very memorable moment... The Las Cruces New Mexico....
Yeah.... Walmart. So we just came off an extreme-ish situation. For the record....
Two-wheel drive Class A motorhomes towing a trailer that's probably maybe a
few thousand pesos... They don't do well in the snow and going up grades!...Yeah... So
there is this weather moving in... And we get right up to the top of this grade.
And there was an accident at the summit. And I'm like... No I can't stop! Because you
guys all know what will happen if we stop. So I bomb it into this little side
government access roads. There's a bunch of military bases there. And we waited
out.. And the road finally clears! Well, I guess... Just let the footage speak for
itself!....And now the road is completely open!
It looks like some people are being escorted down the eastbound side of the
highway. But... The westbound side is completely open...He's going back in...He changed
his mind!!
His wife is probably yelling..."What are you doing?"..."Get back over here"..."Damn it Jim!!"..."You never listen to me!"
Left or right babe?..... I don't see any other RVs in this parking lot...Oh good! We'll have it to ourselves...Yeah!
And if anybody says anything I'm gonna start crying....Hahahaha! "You have no idea what it took us to get
off the mountain!"..." You can't ask us to move now!"... What a mess!!.. This is it! We've
made it. We don't have to worry that we're gonna slide backwards off that
little parking spot we had.We are off the mountain! Whatever happens we're on
solid ground for the night. We'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow....We also have
Walmart Wi-Fi...Hahahaha! Ben's happy about Walmart Wi-Fi!..So if I finish a video I can upload a video now!.. Alright! This one's gonna make some
people's hearts go pitter-patter... Exactly! This full of violators!... Oh my goodness!
And so many of them in one place. Yeah! Like the whole summer!
Keep in mind; Whitehorse of yukon territory is what we're referencing
on the alaska highway... Pretty much the biggest town in the middle of
absolutely nowhere! People will spend the entire summer at this place.
Jack's down... Slides out... And I guarantee they don't ask the manager...
Oh yes! It is bad but... It's accepted....That's what it is.....It's the norm... And I guess we just
have to let the footage speak for itself! There you go!... Yes and it looks like the
Whitehorse Walmart is not gonna disappoint.
Yes!This is an RV parking lot sale.
"Don't you know the Walmart ethical code?".....No jacks!
Okay!...So not all of our videos that we are gonna share with you today are about like people and extremes...Walmart violators!....Sometimes you pick up hitchhikers when
you're at Walmart. And.... One night we picked up a fat Mouse! This guy was
chunky!.... He was like the chunky little mouse on Cinderella.Remember how there were
three...Gus was this chubby.... He was Gus! Totally Gus! It was totally convenient
because it gave me an idea... And we were at Walmart... So... I just ran with the idea!
We were able to catch the little sucker in this little Rubbermaid tote thing....It's working.Wow! He's kinda cute.
He's kind of cute!.... You didn't say that when you screamed at high heaven about
three minutes ago!....There you go buddy! See yah!.... I'm looking for a little toy
mouse. We need to destroy the cat toy part of it. But it is very
realistic looking... 4-pound test fishing line, a travel sewing kit. My plan is to
tape this end to the cabinet door where we keep our trash... And leave this little
sucker in there... Beck just took the dogs potty and that gives me the perfect
amount of time to stage this prank.
Could you grab me ahhh...a plastic bag from like...Under the sink thing..... How did you know it's there?..It's freak!...Hahahahaha!...You thought it was real?...Yes...
Well all I can say about that is... 'Paybacks bitch!'... Not to tongue you but...
I'm still waiting!...hmm... I think you're just too good of a soul and I'm the kind
of naughty one in the couple....Is that what you think it is?... Yes!
Well I guess you'll have to wait and find out.... Alright! Moving right along...
Tigard, Oregon.... We take a lot of heat for this one! But it was an extreme personal
situation for us. So let's lay it out... A tree fell on the motorhome in
Californian, NorCal.... It didn't like totally destroy it... But it totally just crunched
the roof as well..It needed some serious repairs....An insurance claim was needed. Unless we wanted to backtrack.You
know we had to essentially go forward up to the Portland area. Which is where
Tigard is and... On our way up there... To get the estimate, the left rear brake caliper
on the motor home locked up... We're talking just... locked up! Like not good at
all!! And timing is what it is...Spring break and... Easter weekend! And all the
campgrounds were full.All the RV parks were full. And the only option was the
Walmart!.... Yeah! We had never intended to stay there while we were waiting for the
estimate to go back to the insurance company and get approved or denied. We
were gonna leave Portland..Yes!..Yeah well then when you have locked up rear calipers
you're not going anywhere!!..... And there was nowhere to go!
Exactly!...I guess we just have to let the footage speak for itself...
But we are sinners for this one.... Go easy on us! The jacks were down... The slide was
out... And we camped at Walmart for like a week!... But here in the lot there are
always travel trailers and some camper vans and the occasional motorhome
staying the night. So hey! You know we gave it a shot and for three nights
knock on wood.... We can continue to stay here until the insurance company gets
back to us.And... We can have a direction to go. There are some of the vehicles
that we've seen parked here. And as the night goes on there's various other
vehicles.And....Here is our campsite. If you want to call it a campsite. But.... We've
been pretty comfortable here.It's been a safe quiet place...Seriously this is like an amazing camping spot in Portland.Because you have a grocery store across the street like Ben's said was Sushi, we got Walmart right here, get your hair cut,get your nails done, get your eyebrows waxed...I mean what more do you need in a campground right?...There's even a Costco about
half a mile away or less if you take some shortcuts..... Oh and the movie theatre within walking distance!... Yeah we went to go
see the Batman and Superman movie yesterday.... Ever since we left the Bay
Area and that tree fell on us. Things have kind of been blah! And I know that's
just a reality of life and travel and RVing on the road. But yeah... This blah
sucks! It's Sunday afternoon and we're really hoping the insurance company gets back to us tomorrow with some type of an
answer. So we can just take a positive step forward towards
doing and accomplishing something. But we need more water. We still have room in our holding tanks...
We are still waiting and waiting..... That's who I'm on hold with right now to
do my routine 3 hour check up on them. To see when they're reviewing the claim.
Last night they asked for some more pictures at the like..like what? 4:00 4:30 hour
The insurance company came through. The claim has been approved and I just pulled into
RV Northwest here in Tigard... To drop the motorhome off. So we are now
moving forward in a positive direction.It was kind of nice and convenient
staying at that Walmart. I didn't plan on staying six nights at Walmart! But it
worked! Nobody bothered us! So I wasn't gonna
move.... Well, now you've seen the good, the bad and the ugly......Real life is what it is...It's just real life!
You know like you can say... "Don't do this, don't do that." "You can't do this, you
can't do that."...But...Then life happens and....It is what it is...So... Alright! I hope you
enjoyed our very kind of blunt Walmart video... Yeah! If you already haven't
unsubscribed, I want you try to subscribing and we promise to show more real-life
experience as we travel... Yeah! We're going global next...Maybe we'll find a Walmart
internationally to camp at...Totally! I'd love to rock a Mexican Walmart...Hahahahah!... Okay! Hit thumbs
up and do all that other stuff. This video is a wrap!
See you next time!
Are you done?... No yet!
