Oh no! Poor Carlo! 😢 Please be careful! Thank goodness you did not break any bones. 😢

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@darlene9154 lucky so far 😀👍

[@darlene9154]

Another great walk is this walk of Brunette Creek (New West) to Burnaby. You can park at Hume Park in New West and follow the Creek trail all the way to the Burnaby Lake trail. It is just beautiful.

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@darlene9154 👍I’ll check it out 😃

You are a genuine Canadian city deweller, taking us on a genuine city tour around, reflecting how a senior can live satisfactorily without hassel . Don't we all deserve to live the freedom we are living now without being judged! Take care!

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@lynnyou3085 yes I’m a city van dweller and have no reason to camp in the woods 😜as a senior I need all of the convenience 🤗

[@dbsteckey]

My brother used to live in Seattle and he’d walk around Lake Washington. He enjoyed it so much. I visited him a few times. I was in BC only once and I fell in love with it. Love your videos and I admire how you deal with life. You make the best of things. You have a sense of humor and you always find things to keep you busy. 😊 🇨🇦

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@dbsteckey thank you so much 😊 I’m at the end of the roll 😲let’s make it fun 👍🤗✌️

[@dbsteckey]

@ you’re very welcome. I’m sorry about your bruise. I have neuropathy and I fell several times, so I understand you. I actually fell face down and I damaged my glasses and severe bruising on my hands and face. Keep on doing what you’re doing. It’s admirable ☺️☺️

[@Marigold-m2]

@@dbsteckey Ouch. Take good care of yourself.

[@darlene9154]

A gaggle of geese! Do any of the Vancouver Geese stay all winter? We have quite a few that stay year round in SK. They seem to have adapted to minus bzillion & windchill. Lots do fly south for the winter, just like some Canadians. Love to see hear & see them in the autumn in their V-formation. We also have Snow Geese migrating in the fall. One needs to get out of the city to see Snow Geese on the harvested fields or in sloughs/dugouts. 😃

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@Marigold-m2 yes😜some stay here just like me 🤗

[@bobalinga]

[@joanned35]

So sorry you fell and hurt yourself. 🤕 I fell like that on ice a few winters ago and broke my wrist badly. So they say putting your hands out like that can be bad too, supposed to try and roll or something 🤣. Take care, congratulations on all the new viewers!

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@joanned35 thanks 😊, it happened so fast 😲I was lucky not to do a face plant 🪴 😜

@ I believe the guys at KZbin put you into my feed. The algorithm must’ve thought you were a perfect choice and you know what they were right. I hope you get better soon after your fall.

[@TheNoonie50]

@@CarlofulVanlife You popped up in my recommendations because KZbin knows I watch van lifers. I wonder with the more subscribers you get, the more KZbin recommends you? Love the videos!

Greetings from NC! Just Stumbled across your channel … No pun intended! Love your content. My condolences with the loss of your faithful companion Lydia (such a sweet & happy girl) A Wonderful Father you were to her(Bravo!)I lost my Luna August 4th after 15 years together… it’s been a journey rediscovering myself without her. It’s a process for sure. One day at a time…little by little the strength appears. Prayers that your hand & knee will mend quickly & there will be many safe & fun adventures ahead. ~looking forward to tuning in. ~Blessings & Happy Holidays~ Mack

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@mackpritchard2752 thank you 😊 great memories van life with her 😓she is really missed, I still have a hard time watching videos of Lydia, thanks for sharing 🤗

Soooo true!! Health insurance at our age does limit where you can go🤕.....but being active wherever we live is the key! I haven't biked in quite awhile due to the lack of a safe area to do so. Now they finally opened up a cross city walk/biking path...YEAH!! Now...to buy a bike...LOL

Careful senior, appreciate what you are doing

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@gdonson4440 thank you 👍I’m really trying 🫢

[@susanrachel5583]

Hello from Ladner bc .. I’m impressed how fit You are for your age .. I just turned 56 and can no longer ride a bike because of my hips and not very good balance anymore … so sorry you fell and hurt yourself, lucky no bones were broken .. Take care 😊

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@susanrachel5583 I’m getting better with balance on bike, had a concussion 5 years ago ice skating 😵👋thanks for sharing 🤗

[@susanrachel5583]

You’re doing great !… maybe start carrying a small flashlight when out and about because it gets dark so early 😊

[@Marigold-m2]

@susanrachel5583 There are "balance" & "strengthening" exercises one can find on YT. My husband & I, both older than you, are doing balance & other exercises to try to keep our muscles, ligaments, etc in balance & flexible. After being physically active all our lives it comes as a shock that the muscles don't just take care of themselves. It takes effort & time. Usually 2x/day. Wishing you well.

Your channel just came across my feed today. I’m in Shelby Twp., Michigan. I have watched a few videos now. Have you done a van tour in the passed?

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@michaelohara2161 not really, but check out “Van dweller heading east “

[@wimgrondman5542]

good morning, how come you don't head South for the winter?

[@blueman5924]

once you pass 70 yrs, the extra medical insurance coverage to go south to the US is quite expensive. Very risky not to get it these days.

[@juliethomas-t6d]

Also the US exchange rate is crazy now for Canadians

[@nanlyn52]

I hope you are alright. You might need to go to a local emergency care center, I was worried about that with all the walking you're doing. Let us know soon how your doing. I'm a new subscriber, I am also a senior caregiver.

[@CarlofulVanlife]

@@nanlyn52 thank you 😫I’m doing well, it’s healing ❤️‍🩹 good 👍

[@nanlyn52]

@@CarlofulVanlife I'm Glad! But you still need a nurse to look at that. With all the walking you do in the cold weather, You might want to stay in more, Older people tend to get sick easier. But I know I am not saying anything you haven't heard before. It's just the caregiver coming out in me. Worried for ya!

[@Marigold-m2]

@@nanlyn52 There is no better medicine for the heart, mind & physical being than exercise & fresh air, including to keep colds & flu, etc away.. No matter the age. "Cold" is relative to where one lives. Try -20 to -40 C. Elders live here too & get outside daily. As a retired RN, of 40 years, (I've worked in the high Arctic & am also a cyclist & multi-day backcountry hiker who has had a few abrasions), I know people are capable of taking care of their own abrasions. What they need help with is getting their arses off the couch to get exercise.
