BOB WELLS SPEAKS! A Unique Conversation with the Nomad GOAT

Wow, it was AWESOME to have Bob Wells & his team from ‪@CheapRVliving‬ stay at my place for a few days. I really enjoyed their company and loved the nomad/off-grid life conversations with Bob. In this video, we pick up a few minutes into a conversation I was having with Bob on my front porch. I loved learning his backstory and how he helps the nomad/off-grid communities. Enjoy this snippet from our Friday morning chat! ~ Brian & Sierra

[@remiklovic]

I've been watching Bob for about 4 years. You about a month, because of Bob. My wife and I were going to RV, bus, whatever when I retired at 67. She passed away in July 2022. I thought if not now, when? In December I loaded my minivan up and drove to Florida, then to Q where I met Bob, and so many other great people. Today I am 64 yo!! I'm in the process of selling everything and will be full time on November 7th. In the next year or so I hope to find my "peace of earth", and thus why I like your channel. Be well, live free, and I hope to see you down the road!

[@remiklovic]

Sorry for the long winded sad story. As I said, today is my birthday and we always had a sip or two of "Nice Scotch" on our birthdays.

[@wtglb]

Bob Wells is the Bob Ross of the mobile freedom movement! I never get tired of seeing him on KZbin...a real modern sage. Long live Bob!

[@bodaciousmo]

That’s spot on! He is so kind in the interviews. Look at all the happy rv’s 😉

[@teresaforsyth6185]

Excellent comparison! Bob Wells to Bob Ross!

[@BuckJones1909]

Bob Wells has helped so many people! People have been given an alternative no matter what draws you to the alternative Bob Wells is the trail blazer. If you have a question Bob probably has a video with the answer! TY both for your great videos sharing your experience!

[@stonefit]

Bob Wells and you are such an inspiration to living life the way we are suppose to

[@shepatown]

I liked that life boat analogy.

[@sacredstonecards9051]

Luv Bob Wells, been Following him for years. Thank you. 😊

[@noreenn6976]

Love that you got to meet with Bob, great interview!

[@brucecggallagher1949]

Greetings from Victoria, British Columbia. I have signed on to you channel after watching Bob Wells interview you on CheapRV Living...this moment in time you spent interviewing Bob taught me an interesting viewpoint...in regards to the Titanic analogy. Brilliant. Cheers, keep up the great work.

[@borandell9915]

Awesome videography and content. I've seen a lot of videos of Bob speaking and being interviewed. In a wide variety of settings and formats. But this one is one of the most unique. Well, done! And yes, he will forever be remembered as the Nomad GOAT. Primarily for his legacy, which was spending his last years building hope in people.

[@VANESSASBLESSEDLIFE]

Great video love the back story

[@Galen-864]

Yes, 2008 was my reality check. Bob gave me hope and that was all I had. Thank you, Bob.

[@gwb8445]

I'm retired and van dweller by choice. Worked a job I enjoyed for 30 years. Never felt like a rat in a rat race. Not everyone living in a van is escaping from the so-called "rat race."

[@manouarc7756]

This connection you talked about, is bc, INSIDE the system your only a Slave and OUTSIDE the system YOU BECOME A HUMAN BEING, that's why, I think you Bob, you gave yourself this mission to spread, teach & shared yr knowledge of yr Nomad's life. You are doing it marvelously. Tk you for who you are and what you are doing ♥😘 (I watch your videos from Quebec/Canada)

[@lisabritt4284]

Thanks Bob! I think I found out about Snyder Hill in Tucson through you. My son and I were in a bad spot and spent 4 months there living in our car. We’re back home in North Carolina now, my poor Mama has had Alzheimer’s for about 12 years now, and we need to be here. Thanks for all you do, and thanks for sharing Brian! Y’all have a good evening.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Great video! I love Bob Wells! He's the one that got me started on vanlife ❤ I'm still trying to get back out on the road. I just need my vehicle to stay running and able to pass smog! Stupid check engine light! And my income is so low it's really hard to get a good, dependable vehicle these days, let alone a van!

[@DogTrekkin]

Great conversation and very inspiring! Still in the Rat Race here but hopefully one day I’ll have the means to live off grid or nomadic!

[@rosedzindolet-faith5092]

Been watching Bob for about a year now & Love his videos always learn so much and believe I can be a nomad again no problem Thanks to his videos as well as other people’s videos (Like Yours Brian) 🤗❤️🙏🏼👼🏼😍

[@williammeek7218]

I’ve seen Bob a few times. He is very knowledgeable. Glad you got to meet him.

[@huntman9521]

Well done GENTLEMEN!!! The real! Nothing but admiration...😊🎉

[@blargety]

Love this video from two legends. Super thankful for your videos over the years Brian. I just started my overland build this past month and am currently moving in the direction of getting offgrid full-time. Once I finish the next stage of my truck my build, I'm going to start dumping excess cash into my home while I downsize for this lifestyle. It's a ten year plan that I'm five years into, and you (and CheapRVLiving too) have been a huge inspiration and almost a guide for me.

[@Rasher1974]

Hi Bob you are an inspiration.

[@elisabethmiller8335]

This is such a fantastic interview! Learning and connecting with both of you! I have been following you for a few years now. Probably one of your best KZbin segments!

[@bugoutadventures]

I've been following Bob for several (5) year's! Always an Adventure ❤!

[@melly430]

Thank you for sharing this conversation and your life's journey with us.

[@rvlife289]

Bob motivated me to try the RV life. I’m not a nomad, but I applaud those who do it. Great channels, both of you!

[@annhysell6064]

Oh my goodness. Exactly why helping others should be our goal. When one benefits others there is so much more satisfaction and pleasure received than given. Well done guys!

This is an awesome interview. I don’t care for Bob’s channel, but watching him on a different channel with good video production and excellent questions, was a joy. Thank you.

[@jeremytorgersen]

Great conversation! I have been following both of your channels for years and this was fun hearing more of the backstory. You have both helped and inspired me to leave the rat race, which I did April of 2022. As an introvert, the insurance sales world burned me out badly. The simple life, having enough, and living life on your terms resonates so much with me. I look forward to meeting new like-minded friends on the road and off-grid!

[@davidmesser5813]

Enjoyed the show today. Thanks for having Bob on. He is a wealth of information. Take care. Vaughn

Hey! Such an insightful video with Bob Wells. I’ve seen a few overlanders on your channel that end up coming to your Off-grid Oasis property. Do you ever rent out lots on Dyrt app or have a way for us overlanders to come pay for a night or two before heading out. Hoping to gain some knowledge on where else to travel to and meet you and Sierra. Thanks!

An excellent video from start to finish. I've thought about this many times over the years: the fact that this is a robotic society of people who "feel" like they're only supposed to do the 9-5, and nothing more.

The corporate world is tuff … I was one those people who made it miserable to kick people out … never thinking it was gona come my day… you have no idea how skimes are dreamed up to get older people out and gone from their jobs … killing their dreams and livelihoods… especially if the sales are down… I lasted thru three companies doing this … then my years came went and young dude got me … I was sent packing at the age of 68 … lots longer then the most … you have no clue how pressure and energy was put out to get your target out… I was good … the corporate ax man… after I was out I had time to realize what I had done… it was wrong

[@jefflink4671]

Happy for you both, inspiration for others. I watch both of you and I guess it could be because I am wanting the same way of life. I don’t know? I and retired own two homes and toys to keep me entertained, but a simpler lifestyle I am thinking has many benefits once one gets passed the initial fear of letting go of things you worked a entire life for. Any case. Carry on, best to you both sierra too!

[@deanmartin9358]

Hello Brian this is such a great upload thanks to you both for sharing i am learning so much. now i have to go on cheapRVliving here in the UK the signs are already beginning to show i dont think it will be long before the country falls apart and everyone starts looking for the lifeboat but dont think it will be big enough all the best

Cal. with work and school and rent too damn high there are no other options. I do a lot of mutual aid so Im in the communities and see it first hand. Anyway. New sub here.

I think maui citizens who have lost everything need access and help from this group... ive told them in responding to clips on their evilly done disaster. Dont leave your land put up a tent !! You can do this one board at a time rebuilding but most dont know how to survive like this any suggestions ? Thanks

[@pamreneick464]

Also most people do not realze 80 % or more of " charity" money, goes to administrative cost even in legit charities .... .. we need to help these guys if we can the govern isnt and charities will line their pockets . Maybe one of you can find a direct fund to the maui people? Bob youre great at gathering real facts thanks

[@ZacTexC]

Hawaii is different than the other states meaning Hawaii owns the land. The people just own the structures. Blew my mind when I heard that. Plus, no one is allowed in that area.

[@pamreneick464]

@@ZacTexC they made sure maui lost everything if that is true including over a thousand children who were let out of school early while parents were at work, never to be seen again . This pure purposely evil to these people ? All will be held accountable .. but they dont believe in God or they wudnt have done it ... breaks my heart that so many do not have a heart nor care abt any but themselves. I hate to think how many good people are giving to evil fund raisers or what they have done with children when trafficing is so huge today . Totally evil

[@rayleo529]

I fear the Nomad Lifestyle is going to soon become targeted by those who want people corralled into "15 minute cities", stacked on top of each other in compartmental living modules. I found Bob on KZbin in 2017 and not long after learned of you Brian through his site.

[@thomasseymour4190]

Nobody advocating for “15 minute cities” want people “corralled” into those spaces. They’re simply advocating for the possibility of that in North America. Ultimately, nomads and sustainable city advocates want the same thing; a good and happy life surrounded by those we care about and a life less forced into suburban corporate conformity.

[@rayleo529]

@thomasseymour4190 you should look into the philosophy driving the Agenda 21 conspiracy.....and no, it's not a theory. Just look into it Anonymous Official would be a good source.

[@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679]

Can the vet not remove the lump on Sierras backend?

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Unfortunately they won't remove the tumor in her rear due to the fact that Sierra's lungs have lots of tumors in them.

[@radioactivebanana6774]

A nomad does not have a home so you have to change your status. A land owner that travels a lot. No a nomad and land owning don't go together. But if you have the money to own a house or land - do it! Great info though! Thanks!

Hi Mike, thanks for tuning in. Unfortunately for safety reasons I only allow people I know to camp on my property. I have a bunch of nomad friends who stop by when they are in the area. I built the various campsites on my property for those individuals. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day ~ Brian

[@MartineReed]

How do I find your Patreon? Thank you.

[@crackerjack6075]

There ARE people who want to stop what Nomads are doing. A larger population of nomads IS at some point going to annoy the people who lobby our government to give landlords what they want > Renters (no one is going to be able to own homes = there's going to be landlords). So a logical evolution would be for us to create nomadic cyber communities. Nomads will pool themselves into the position of buying land in the desert(s) and forest(s) in the large unpopulated middle America, but annex a portion of one site to become the homeland. All nomads are welcome to designate this new 'County' annex as their legally registered Domicile and we build a huge voting block. Otherwise, there's going to be "Karens" in our society that will organize to list all our negatives on their Karen society
