Work Camping: Campground Host and the Beet Harvest

[@simmyqux]

It's not just the Beet harvest, grains, fruits and vegetable harvests need the same labor help. I worked the wheat, barley and canola harvest this year along with alfalfa and grass hay bailing. Kept me busy from May through to mid October.

[@tellfredtellfred]

Jody's openness about the money is super important and refreshing. Working (selectively) to live your life as you choose...yeah baby.

[@travelingwithrick]

Bob your one of best interviewers out there.

[@roaminginmyrv6765]

Bob, great informative video as always. I've watched you for just over a year and I'm so grateful to you. I bought my RV and I'm about to retire real soon, within 30 days. You inspired me and your videos and website have been a tremendous help. In your recent video on the Big Tent you showed some of the workkamping companies. I contacted one and applied for a spot and was just hired today for a camp host position May through September. All of this, thanks to you. With just a $1000 a month on Social Security, the camp host job will round out a comfortable life for me. Again, thanks to you. I'm looking forward to the RTR and I hope to meet you although I know from watching you that meeting folks is a tough proposition for you. God bless you for all you do for the community!

[@clubmike2910]

good luck in your new journey

[@roaminginmyrv6765]

Thank you! Didn't we eat you for lunch back when I was in grade school? haha

[@tonym3128]

Ditto what Charile The Tuna says on the new journey Marie. I too recently began the "Odyssey" eight months ago. Heading to the RTR as well to gain knowledge and make new like minded friends. I had wrote Bob when I was starting out and his wisdom guided me to make the leap and boy am I every thankful. Bob is a good soul in my opion. God Bless us all!

[@roaminginmyrv6765]

Tony M I think there are probably thousands of us that are grateful to Bob. It's too bad that he is such an introvert and it bothers him to be in such groups. Because you know we all want to meet him and thank him and shake his hand. I hope it's not too tough on him at the RTR. I look forward to maybe meeting you Tony. Look for me when you get there I won't be hard to find. I'm in a very rare 1992 Ford Jamboree and it's only 18 ft. I don't know how many they made but there are very very few 18ft class C's. Best of luck.

[@jojofids]

I LOVE your interviews with Jody. Wish there were more.

[@Japhill75]

I like this lady..! She has a great vibe.great content as per usual Bob..!

[@DrivinandVibin]

Great info as always! Finding non-digital jobs for full time traveling doesn't have to be challenging!

[@servicedogchopper7613]

Drivin' and Vibin' It is for the physcially disabled that cannot do any physical jobs. I wish he would cover non-physical jobs.

[@DrivinandVibin]

That would be some great info!

[@cyndytully5751]

Always enjoy the interviews you do with Jody. You rock, Bob Wells!!

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

Bob, your channel is truly my favorite. I follow about 25 daily. Your knowledge and experience is second to none. Best regards. Elmer

[@geebonzo]

Love the fact she can work for 3 weeks at a fairly decent job (looong hours) and have enough for most of a year. Makes sense to me.

[@JJF10101957]

Smart, happy, and clever lady! Very impressive!

[@allewal]

Bob, I think you really should consider a TV series on van life..... :)

[@curriesis3]

Thanks so much again for helpful, informative, encouraging videos. Hugs to you all from Maine.

[@clubmike2910]

Thanks Bob, great video.

[@joparks2509]

Very interesting. I'm not an RVer but I'm subscribed to your channel! I wish I have the courage to experience the van life. Thank you Bob for this channel.

[@jeffanderson5068]

Love your videos Bob! You always shore me up, educate and inspire! Life can be beautiful.

[@joycebarnett5813]

Great info thanks for sharing. If there is a will there is a way. Great video again

[@CherylFlynn1]

Thank you again! You all are amazing! 😊👍🏼

[@carolynmihelcic6056]

OUTSTANDING bless you all for putting these Video's up...thank you...😁

[@bkbatts]

Thank you for everything you do. I have three compressed vertebra but no one can tell by looking at me. I guess you could say I look normal. I can't stand for extended periods of time as well as other physical limitations. I'm still working amazingly enough but I hate my job. I hope to start a van build real soon so I can travel after I retire.

[@clubmike2910]

hang in there, you will make it. good luck with your build.

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

I was going to say the same. Hope you’re doing well.

[@bkbatts]

I am retired now and my van is pretty freaking awesome!

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

@@bkbatts That is so great! You’ve made my day by letting me know. Be well, safe travels!

[@khubbard9489]

Love watching your videos 👏

[@donnadory7482]

Thank you for your veido's ✨ Lot's of great information 🤗 🍃🇺🇸🕊️🌎🕊️🍃

[@whatsananna]

Thanks for sharing the practical information!

[@Radnally]

Always good info. Thanks

[@LivesUnscripted]

We thought about workcamping when were first decided to travel in a van. Instead, we were able to get jobs that allowed us to work remotely, but workcamping is definetly a great option. Great video!

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks for the info. Seems real people are still needed for some things.

[@ellevanroamer487]

Bob probably gets a seasonal job as santa in your local santa 🎅 mall 🎅

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Love that big Yellow van .. i'd want to paint it with a picture .. of something .. hmmmm

[@klouism1]

Great information. Thank you.

[@lorriblouiin1888]

I have been to cooper’s landing also Mark from Macomb Michigan

[@menofairy]

Thanks so much for this info on jobs

[@dantheman.newman944]

18,000 or 19,000 is a fortune to many of us who don't draw 900 a month after a life time of hard work. Many are broke down body wise or sick now. We wish you both well but I am jealous, enjoy your life keep going. Thank you.

[@NPAMike]

Watching this video makes me wonder if Bob is a seasonal Santa Claus.

[@barbarawalker3620]

😍😍🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰

[@pattycakecrochet1]

Wow Bob great info. We are on planning stages now to becoming a Nomad fulltime. We have a few things to get in order. 1 being a rig lol but a few other things that have to be addressed before leaving. Anywho what great info you gave & got from this lady. I was wondering about some of tge work camping jobs. We are in our mid 40s so yep we work & have to unfortunately, but this gave me alot of answers I was looking for. How much can we make - if its enough to live on - how hard it would be- would we get money also. So you gave a wealth of information to us. Thank you so much! I truely do appreciate the effort you put into these interviews to help us all know if we wanna do this its really easy. So I look forward to meeting you and Jamie and alit of the other UTube stars that I stalk on a regular basis, in a year or so. Right now we are dreaming from Florida and living vicariously thru u all. Much love & be safe & God bless

[@live4u672]

Awesome video Bob/Jody. One question on the national forest jobs. If you stay and actually get laid off, can you draw unemployment? Just curious.

[@fidentia10]

Notification brigade reporting in

[@ronaldlampkin1404]

do you have to have a tag on a small trailer to pull it across country

[@jimfurr.3]

How much do they pay for the park, seasonal workers? You skimmed right by that.

[@scrambleddelusions]

Jim Furr Cost of three rv park is included while you are working if you are employed by the big outfits. If you choose to work for one of the farmers it is negotiated with them.

[@jimfurr.3]

Thank You! I found out he went into those details in his second video!

[@rondabug2923]

I really want to do the beet harvest. Does anyone have dogs there or a way to care for them? Also i only have suv and tent. Is that allowed?

[@lindacrowley1405]

Hi, can you drive your own rv to the Alaska jobs or do you only fl y in..?

[@willsmooth45]

Bob I’m in hi jolly camping area in quartzsite Arizona just outside of town could you maybe message my where the group is I want to meet up with everyone I’m only 21 years old and drove here from Massachusetts I’ve been living in vans since I was 19!!! Let me know plz I would love to met the man who inspired me to live such a wonderful life!!!!!! Thanks bob for the videos keep it up and safe travels

[@tiedyekris]

has anyone ever done any work as a movie extra?

[@dlight2669]

I looked into this online. I Googled it and looked at several website s, then searched KZbin videos on other people's experiences. The job Jodi had was not so physically demanding yet there are some that are killer on the body the first few weeks. Do your research before getting into this bc the work can be extremely physically demanding for those who have to shovel.

[@BubbaWarbucks]

I don't remember seeing the tour of her coach.

[@K9River]

He did a video of it about a week ago :)

[@BubbaWarbucks]

I went back and looked and couldn't find it. I'll check again.

[@monnaprovost7294]

Bubba Warbucks, Bob posted his interview and tour videos a week ago. This was a 3rd video ref jobs she did. Go to Bob’s channelx’ video list and find the tour video in date order.

[@BubbaWarbucks]

I would swear on a stack of bibles that it wasn't there when I looked earlier this morning. I see it now.

[@harleyarcher6732]

Word has it you have a pension and a few other incomes come on be honest I don't care this is what I heard from a lot of others

[@clubmike2910]

Lots of people have pensions, I know I do. In two more years I will start my social security. yeah baby.... I guess working all those years actually did pay off.

[@BrittMFH]

You're right....who cares. Why bring it up.

[@topps85401]

Monetize a You Tube channel and you'll make plenty of money.

[@jpf209]

do you think a single man in his thirties could be hired as a camp host??

[@jbrat1967]

Dude give urself a haircut You'll look and feel better
