i am super excited about this video because in this video we have some never-before-seen
footage to share with you guys and it really embodies the whole reason why it is that we live
this lifestyle where we prioritize experiences over things and really our kind of new mission
of prioritizing spending time with people over material possessions as well so make sure that you
watch to the end and then leave us a comment let us know what you thought about today's video let's
get going so there are two big questions that we have today the first question is are the kids
gonna make it and then the next question is what do you mean by that will we be able to find it
so right now we're gonna go to a little library thing
uh it's like a library a little where you take a book leave a book excited but happy i'm ready to
read so this campground that we've been staying at here in the black hills of South Dakota is so
awesome just in its location in proximity to everything so we're gonna go over to
this little lending library that we found and uh switch out some books for the kids
and then we'll get on with our day today it's interesting living rv life but not every day
is just wake up and a big adventure but you have life to live in between you've got errands to run
and things to do and maybe you've kind of found that to be true in um just what you're doing with
rv living if you're living the rv lifestyle so you have to leave us a comment below and just
let us know like what does your typical day look like so that's what we're gonna do today and uh
kind of bring you along for the ride and give you some tips along the way they have two things of
play-doh two other erasers and a sticker cool do you think we're going to take one for free
like a play-doh thing you could probably take one but let's drop off our books let's exchange
hey guys so what are we doing today going to keystone we are in keystone south dakota
in so this is a place that is not a new territory for us but this is a place that we love to come
back to over and over and if you stay tuned we're going to show you why are we ready to do this
so dakota is eating a chocolate covered marshmallow this is one of those areas
that is kind of your little typical sort of tourist town but it's fun to
come down to these areas every once in a while and get the local goodies and
we've got taffy and we just went to the chocolate shop so how's the marshmallow
let me see it finally it's the keystone one
there you go
is
so there are two big questions that we have today the first question is are the kids gonna make it
and then the next question is what do you mean by that will we be able to find it so we are here
at the trailhead for a hike called devil's bathtub
and i've been reading some of the reviews on the all trails app for this particular hike
and there's a lot of people that have said that the trail can be rather confusing as far as where
it is and where you're going so we're going to hope today that number one the kids can do this
hike okay uh with minimal complaining and then number two that we can find it so we're gonna
head out here and we're gonna bring you along and let you know what the answer is to both
of those questions and then also give you some tips and things for hiking with kiddos
it's been a while since we felt the way we did back when
we were younger minnow and i'm trying to catch it take it with you um
so there's definitely a lot of creek crossings so i'm really glad that i have my
keen water shoes for this particular hike definitely something that
would be helpful to have water shoes if you're gonna take this particular type of hike
so we just crossed our first little like creek thing i guess we've heard or read
on all trails that's a thing on this trail so be prepared to cross a lot of creeks and
wear either shoes you don't mind getting wet or some sort of hiking sandal
so definitely places where you're gonna get wet
we're getting closer and uh the creek is coming through kind of narrowing canyon walls so this
is really beautiful it reminds me of when we are in zion at the narrows it's not quite as
epic as the narrows but still a really cool area and a super fun hike so far
lots of other people that are up here with tinier kids even than our own kids
so definitely know that this is a family-friendly kid-friendly hike
real fast we're going to interrupt today's video to share just a little bit about the sponsor of
today's video unique camping and marine now unique camping in marine makes products for
your tank treatments so your black tank your gray tank and then also to clean those tank sensors
probably one of their most favorite products that i've been using now for a while is actually
the toilet cleaner so versus using bleach or something like that that actually kills bacteria
it's actually not so great for your black tank and that's actually where a lot of your smells
come from when you have that black tank smell so we've been able to eliminate those smells
by using the unique camping and marine toilet cleaner following it up with the drop-in pods
eliminated those smells and it also helps to just make sure that when we
drain the tanks everything that is in there comes out and that keeps our sensors clean
as well so we'll put a link in the description below you can save 15 on their products on our
partners page so you'll find that below now let's get back to the video so we're here we made it
it is a little bit of a strenuous hike but a little bit of perseverance and no fear of getting
wet it can definitely be done even with kids so we're gonna enjoy the refreshing mountain water
one thing to remember when hiking any level of trail is always to make sure you have water so
we brought our backpacks with some snacks and water this particular backpack day pack
i have been using for the last three years of living RV and outdoor life and
i love it so i'll put a link to this in the description below i got this one on amazon
and then something else to remember is that you can encounter things like poison ivy or
poison oak so understanding what those types of plants look like and to make sure that you
avoid contact with those types of things so that you don't regret your hike later on in the day
so this has actually been a great hike tons of families that have been up here with kiddos and
we definitely recommend it the trail even though it's not super well marked in all areas you can
still figure out where it is that you're going pretty easily and if you just follow
the creek you'll get to where that you're going so definitely something to put on your list if you're
going to be in the south dakota area so you'll have to let me know in the comments below what
