Some of the things I love about Brian: he drives slow, he cooks, he is humble, very talented and creative but most of all he’s real. Oh, and did I mention he shaves his head with a dog trimmer.

What sets Brian's KZitem channel apart from most channels is the fact that he is honest, real, and genuine. Where as a lot of channels portray one thing and end up being totally the opposite, it's all a "GRAND ILLUSION" .....

@@stratos175escape7 I worked for KZitem for 8 years and part of my job was to make sure the videos passed all the criteria when it came to content ID so the channels wouldn't get penalized with a copyright strike so I have watched 1000's of videos, I'm no expert but I'm able to easily see the difference between truth and dishonesty, and that's why I enjoy the music channels more, especially 17 year old Lucy Thomas Music, she is amazing, especially the video she dropped yesterday, she's performing Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" and omg, it's phenomenal.......

Great video Brian! I grew up in Coolidge, about 20 miles north of Picacho Peak State Park. Back in the 70's I was headed back to the UofA where I was a student after a weekend visiting my parents. As I passed Picacho Peak area I could see a lot of dust in the air. When I looked a little closer I saw riders on horse back, some in Confederate uniforms & others in Union uniforms. They were having a re-enactment of The Battle of Picacho Pass, also known as the Battle of Picacho Peak that occurred on April 15, 1862. It is supposedly the most westerly fought battle during the Civil War. It took me by surprise for a minute, especially passing it at about 75 miles an hour!

If you continue down to the southeast towards Tombstone and Bisbee there is a fabulous boondocking area right at the base of the Dragoon Mountains. Also, I highly suggest a stop at Whitewater Draw which is about 30 minutes from Tombstone. All the Best, Dan
