A WEEK of Vanlife on the Sunshine Coast

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thank you so much for the shout out; I'm pumped to start my KZbin journey! I'm so glad IG algorithm brought us together and you're loving the L'il Sucker. 🤙🏼❤

[@tidelinetoalpine]

I recorded this before I knew you would join KZbin so it was such perfect timing. I hope our paths cross someday 😊 Happy Paddling!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@tidelinetoalpine I hope we get to go out on an advencha one day together too!

[@Camille_Lee_Eon]

I don't know much about paddle boarding, but they have what they call the, "River Rat Race" that happens every year. It is on the Miller River In Massachusetts. Big event.

[@junereynolds8459]

hope you do well amanda fro. australia

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@Camille_Lee_Eon Very cool!

[@wendybestward4299]

[@braveheart977]

Two beautiful souls💜💜 thanks for bringing us along on another beautiful journey. Love your content Amanda🥰

[@cathybailey2898]

Thank you so much Amanda and Frank for bringing us to me a glamorous life compared to mine however I am 69 years old and had some surgeries and stuff but I'd like to do this when my husband retires at 70 he's very healthy he loves to surf though but I love more of the steel water and swimming however be fun my husband said to get a van just for play too which would be like what you're doing for a week at a time or something and there's some beautiful spots here in the United States also and I have a card that I can get things half off for free cuz I'm a bit disabled not so much that I can't do some things but some things I can't do but my husband can help me do and it still be fun thank you so much for the encouragement and love God's blessings to you and Frank and your family also your mother and dad and your friends along the way just seems so kind I love Canada it's just so gorgeous my granddaddy's mother lived there in Canada she was English Canadian love you very much bye for now 🙏🏻💜☕🌺💐❤️🐱🏄🏼‍♂️💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💯

[@ketoauntie7301]

Well-said compliment for Amanada 👍🙏🌸

[@shannonyeatman53]

I love all your videos. And I really really appreciate the fact that you don’t use a pointless sound track . Just the sounds of nature, so soothing. ❤

[@cathiecollins7320]

I'm watching older content but I cannot believe your channel hasn't exploded!❤ I enjoy your adventures very much, and Frank is a bonus!❤

[@michellestratford9753]

I love how you teach the realities of backwoods camping. So many KZbin channels just make it all look pretty, and don't bother with the safety messages which are SO important. I wouldn't feel safe exploring unmaintained logging roads if I didn't have safety measures in place. Thank you for all that you do 💖❤️🚙🇨🇦

[@lilmissdaydreamer4741]

Frank under the blankets! Absolutely adorable! 😊😍

[@hemlockknits]

Sipping my Sunday morning coffee watching this video and knitting. Excellent vibes

[@mariorubencontreable]

I love how frank just folds his little paws in and sits there like a good boy on the paddle board.

[@stacynoble3909]

Frank does have a tendency to steal the show!!

[@Locd4life707]

It's a win, win for you! A great campsite & trail with a lake.Then dinner with Frank! Gotta love it! ❤👍😋

[@mobile_noble4026]

Hiiii Frank! Spoiling our puppers is one of the joys of life! And look at that face…. How could you not!!

[@cyndeeh]

Amanda, I could watch YOUR CONTENT ALL DAY ! Before my mom passed, her an my dad loved Canada. They would take their canoe,and camping supplies,and look for the most off grid locations to fish. All that, with having MS. Their fav place to go was Canada. Now I see why.

[@darleneflannigan7469]

Hi Amanda, I have been subscribed to your channel here on KZbin for several months..I just want to say out of all the vanlife subscriptions I've subscribed to..you are my favourite.Your video's show your passion for that lifestyle..and I feel like I'm right there exploring with you. Your content is awesome, and informative.I am also in awe of how well you care for and love Frank..you are a true inspiration!! Thank you for being authentically you..I too have fallen inlove with Frank he is so smart and gentle..I love how he knows exactly what you are saying to him..and how he responds back to you please give him a hug from me..a fan Darlene in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada💜💚💜💚💜💚

[@ruthsmith6502]

All I can say is, I SO ENJOY YOU AND FRANK!!!!

[@MiguelMartinez-hk7zq]

Ive watched many vanlife channel. Most have lost the concept of vanlife. I think you have stayed true to vanlife.

[@tobewiser1629]

You could buy a tarp, one big enough to drape over the width of van (to prevent water from sipping under tarp), have both your side doors open and extend tarp over doors, use bonji cord to fasten, and you would have a have a huge covered porch to cook, etc., next to van. Buy a cheap or a good tarp--up to you--but big enough to cover entire width (9x12) of van; they have many uses.

[@Orëo1980]

Frank in all his glory on an island full of driftwood 🥰🐾💕

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

OMG - Frank in the blanket...cuteness overload !!!!

[@richardp6461]

Good job carrying Frank off that mountain. You are a great dog mom, trail companion, and all around badass. I am glad you guys got each other.👍

[@pagewhite61]

Frank is so great, I love watching him!

[@christinefabian3552]

I love the way you and frank love each other and how you take care of one another. It’s beautiful and heartwarming.

[@jacfairbairn2592]

Just love watching your amazing journey with Frank your awesome best friend, cant help feeling a little sadness there somewhere..so inspiring🌻 💞🐾🙏🐕🕊🌟

[@patrickpatton7821]

Thanks Amanda and frank

[@candybrown3785]

Frank and the cookie🦴 🤣🥰...the looks he was giving you 😆 priceless. Glad he finally decided to eat it 😁. What an awesome🐶 He is so good on the 🛶 What a wonderful companion for you to go on adventures with and have fun with in your 🚐 life. 💕

[@Bernimv]

😂yes loved it

[@sandraerickson559]

❤❤❤❤❤ My regards to Frank...and his really big cookie! 😎

[@lo8337]

I love Frank and what a good boy! You are giving him the best life ever.

[@psychobiotch]

5:25 "...in the days after Frank." Oh, so heartbreaking. I know it will be a reality, and too soon, but it's so sad to think about. I'm a fan of Amanda, but let Frank know I'm a fan of him too. 💜

[@georgiacorey954]

Ty for sharing another great video. By the way, i think its awesome the way u let your friend Frank call the shots on what kind & how much exercise he wants to do. Especially love it that you reward his faithful friendship & spoil him with treats in his Senior years. He seems to be a loyal friend ready to follow you anywhere and thats the best dog ever!

[@RachelSchell]

Omg, Frank in his rain jacket!!

[@FishMH]

loved it every dog owner should be able to share such beauty and great sniffs with their bud.

[@bebe60602]

I am always looking forward to your videos. I love the nature you are showing, I love everything!! It always sad to see a dog aging but he is having a great life. Thank you for spoiling him. ❤️🐕🙏

[@marianfrances4959]

What a delightful video! Amanda, your mom has such a pleasant face. Keep taking good care of yourself...and keep spoiling our darling Frank! 👍😎🇨🇦🐾💜🌲🔥🌊

[@karensimaeys295]

Amanda you are so good at doing fires. Love to watch your videos.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you ☺️ I’m pretty proud of my fire craft abilities

[@juleneedmond8582]

I love how you always showcase Frank.

[@healthcoachrene7351]

I have an older dog that I have adventures with for years and is now aging. I hit the road full time in June and it is all about getting him out on more adventures that him and his sister can handle.

[@yureituesday]

Wow gorgeous pics

[@mattkrea]

Something every hiking dog owner should consider for their kit is a harness to carry them in case the worst happens! Mountain Dogware or Fido Airlift.. something like that is wonderful peace of mind when you are way out there

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Hi Matt! Great tip and cool profile pic.

[@mattkrea]

@@tidelinetoalpine haha thanks. the pic feels corny now but ill get back to posting videos on KZbin again once I'm back on the road again in a week or two!

[@teenalagree494]

I love when you & Frank go out for a paddle. He really does seem to love it. Can't wait to see the painting project!

[@spookydonkey2195]

Great way to start my Sunday. Thank you!

[@degored2073]

These sunday morning videos are working out well for me. I will make sure to enjoy them while they last. Thank you. Pretty cool how you have worked to get more comfortable with the paddle board and use it to expand your possibilities.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Sunday morning videos are unofficially a thing now 😉 💜

[@1hoppyac1]

[@karenlewkowitz5858]

Best van life channel. Amanda is ahhhmmmaazing!

[@ketoauntie7301]

I like watching you chop wood & Frankonobi😂

[@normaevett]

Glad to share a meal with you and Frank!

[@daveybphotography]

"he's a very wise master but, he's gone off chasing balls so..." 💕

[@ricksgypsy2512]

You are an original nature connoisseur. I enjoy watching your experiences. You have motivated me to get out and do more. Your content is educational and relaxing. Safe travels to you and Frank.

[@debbieweckler6832]

I always enjoy your moments and this video paddle to the island , with your companion, was perfect. Great show.

[@shelleybayless8968]

I LOVE 😻 watching you & Frank! It relaxes me!!!

[@talliecat73]

Beautiful

[@jamesreid8118]

That was a really splended spot! Thanks for taking us there! Frank, with his colouring, blends in well with the sun bleached driftwood.

[@evapierce1090]

You and Frank are pros on the paddle board now. What a great way to be together, enjoy outdoors and get exercise. I really enjoyed the pictures of you and Frank on some of your adventures. I would love to see more of them. You and Frank have had some amazing times together. Your whole life together seems to have been an adventure. You deserve to spoil him and he deserves to be spoiled. Its a gift and a joy to see you two enjoying your life together. Thank you for sharing all you do.

[@antoinette272]

Relaxing video. Thanks so much for your content.

[@yako0000]

[@jopu643]

0:40. Doing the same thing this morning while watching this video. 🙂

[@seriouslypagan6904]

Yours is more than glamorous enough. I wish I had your life in your van in your country.

[@jomicheleseidl2033]

It's so nice to see you having fun adventures on your paddleboard and gaining skill and confidence. (Instead of being terrified by gigantic sea mammals!) And how nice to see several groups of young fishermen behaving in such a respectful and chill way around the campsites. It kind of restores your faith in humanity.

[@deborahwhitcomb357]

Hi Amanda! I just stumbled onto your video from 6 months ago while you were picking garlic. Then I saw the van troubles, 2 videos of unending troubles & stress. You are an inspiration! You handled it better than you think you did! 🤗💜 I had to find your current video, just to know you & Frank are ok! I love you're pure honesty & showing all sides of the nomad life I am yearning to begin. I have subscribed & look forward to your next video. You have shown that if you put your mind to it ..you can survive just about anything! Yes .. an inspiration! Be well, be happy & I look forward to the next upcoming videos! ☮️

[@sherrya.1060]

Beautiful area. Enjoyed the video.

[@Love-qv9nl]

Great video, some really beautiful stills. Thanks Amanda and Frank Really good to see subscribers claiming again. Good job

[@4qu4]

I've been following you for awhile now, and I'm really happy you've gotten into paddleboarding! I just picked up my first board recently, and went for my first paddle today! I channeled your good energy and did pretty well! I almost stood up my first time but hit a rock with my fin and fell in haha. You're a great inspiration! I wish you and Frank nothing but the best!

[@susancurrie9246]

Great video Amanda Paddles. 😂😂

[@hsoderberg6505]

I have an inflatable kayak & am too scared to take it on large bodies of water. I really admire your courage.

[@pattyann7803]

I love Frank’s life vest. Would love some purchase information.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Ruffwear

[@jyoung3270]

Your videos are so calming and relaxing. I love watching you and Frank on your adventures camping with beautiful scenery of nature. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

Frankie looks so cute in his rain coat. The paddle board looks so relaxing. The clouds in the morning mountains beautiful. Well I say are you getting a new Van. Can't wait to see. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariorubencontreable]

Hahahaha “Use the force” I think this is what he meant by the force” Lol

[@leahharbison4932]

You could tell Frank didn't fell goodabout walking. The fire made him feel better. The star wars thing was perfect.

[@wildzenventures]

Frank has such a great personality! You two fit nicely together 💕 living a great life, enjoying the outdoors and sharing with all of us. Thank you 😎

[@robertphillips3893]

Frank thought the cookie was charred wood flavored and it turned out to be cookie flavored. I can imagine his disappointment! 😁

[@mirabaifox]

Oh Frank. 💛 He is so so beautiful. 💛🐺💛

[@brigittebythesea]
