Great video's you have Foresty Forest! While I have never driven a motor vehicle, I have lived on the road for 43 years. I began by hitchhikng from June 77 to June 82, then I started bikepacking, back when it was called bike touring. I too now ride a fat bike, a Raliegh Pardner. I have been all over the USA on a bicycle. I used to work 4 months a year in summer then bicycle toured from Sept-May. I was a cook and worked in resort areas, like Jackson WY, and many national parks. I retired two winters ago in January 2018. I will be 64 in 2 weeks. I have wintered in Tucson AZ where to me its like summer in winter. In December during the day it was down to 50 degrees for the last two weeks of 2019. Now here in early January 2020 its already been close to 70 again yesterday. Todays high is 73. I have made my winter home here since 1983 almost every winter. In March I am bikepacking to New Mexico, then northern AZ, UT,CO,WY, ID, WA, OR,CA,NV then back to Utah till late fall, then back down here for another winter. I live now on Social Security making less than $1000 a month, but when bikepacking only live on about $300 a month. In winter here I rent a room for $300 (this winter) a month. I spend my days cycling about 30-40 miles a day to stay in shape for when I leave in two months. I started traveling for adventure when I was 21 in 1977 and now at almost 64 amd still at it. When asked where I am from I say North America and have even bikepacked across Alaska. Live to ride, Ride to Live! GCP
