[@JimmyandNatalie]

Just wanted to say thank you to @Lectric eBikes for reaching out and hooking us up with such awesome eBikes! They are honestly a total game changer for us 🚲 If you want to check out Lectric eBikes, here's our referral code: bit.ly/3ucjhnP Hope everyone is having a great week! 😊💚

'cheese should be a noun' - totally agree!! 5:11

[@ELaine-hq2ge]

How cool!! Thad is our son!! His dad and I are very proud of him and his awesome work! Watching from Indiana.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

That is so awesome! He actually just made our decals today and they look great! ❤️

[@ELaine-hq2ge]

@@JimmyandNatalie We messaged him and told him about your video and that you were looking for him. He said he finally met you both and said how nice you both were. Enjoyed your video! Keep safe and be aware of people and your surroundings. Unfortunately, some people are just no good.

[@anitavonderheid1580]

I lived in a school bus as a child, we worked with circuses, and most of the time the circus moved every day. Just one day stands. I still travel in a small motorhome, I am 77, and enjoy it very much.

[@mikechapin6339]

Was looking at other Skooliepalooza videos and saw you drive by on Nomadic Ramblers video LOL , it at 0.53 on there video . That was really cool seeing how you guys got me watching all these Skoolie videos . LOL

[@meredithellenn]

I love that every day you have a “mission” but you’ve grown in your flexibility and going with the flow. It’s cool to see. Especially in a nomadic lifestyle where you can get lost in too little or too much structure.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We can definitely relate, and have learned that it's important to find balance! Thanks so much 💚😊

[@annchapman8495]

I was hoping e-bikes would get a whole of you to sponsor their bikes, that is so awesome for you, now you don't have to walk everywhere, super dooper. Love your channel, and I hope you get your decals.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you! We are LOVING our new ebikes! Working with Lectric has been awesome 😄

[@SunflowerandtheBussLady]

I’m so sorry this happened to everyone. BUT the resilience and positivity that i saw happening says a LOT about Nomads: skoolie/van/camper/RV/vehicle dwellers. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY! I seriously hope no one caused this chaos out of malicious intent! There were some pretty vocal and upset people about this year’s location. 🙏🏽✌🏽💖

[@lindacanaslee9909]

Natalie, I love your smile. Just warms this grandma’s heart. You and Jimmy make a sweet team.

[@sum2automation]

I'm reminded that absolutely everything in life is in motion and nothing ever stays the same on old planet earth. Good to see everyone having fun and making some good times. Thanks for sharing!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it! 😊 I guess this is just another example of why it's so important to stay flexible, especially living on the road!

[@kiriakiria9685]

Such an honestly nice couple. Good health and happiness to you both. Don't ever change ! 😘

[@Cue881]

Skooliepalooza looks like it was a fun experience! Don't be afraid to try things. If things don't work out simply jump in the seat and turn on the key! Away you go and leave your troubles behind! I love watching you guys! Keep living the dream!

[@cboyle707]

I think your bus looks fine. Some artwork on the outside would make all the difference. Green is pretty.

[@fliegenuss]

I'm so sorry I wasn't ready for this year's event ... WHAT an adventure!! You two are freakin' adorable and have SUCH great attitudes. See ya on the road later in the year!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you so much, and there's always next year! See you on the road! 😄

[@alexgachupin7701]

I'm watching this video at 5am and I have a smile on my face.

[@shannonwhiting6668]

What an adventure!!!! What a memory for your first Skooliepalooza!!! I love that you are connecting and meeting likeminded people; sharing, caring, and just living life to its fullest!!! Enjoy!!!

[@Skooliepalooza]

Not easy having to relocate at last minute, thanks for being adaptable. Don't put too much faith in rumors and enjoy the rest of the event!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We certainly will! We are having a blast at the event and honestly enjoyed the experience of moving. Everyone was working together so smoothly and it was quite the bonding experience 😄 We’re looking forward to the rest of the week as well!

[@stevequirkcarolynbeach5602]

We love our e-bikes by Lectric. We use a tote We found at Home Depot that the bikes fit perfectly and makes it easier to load and unload the bikes. Have a great time on Your Lectric bikes!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks, that's a great tip we may have to try that! Jimmy has been getting tire track marks on his shirt from putting the ebikes away so a tote might be what we need 😄

[@briandavis9975]

Hey guys throw a clear coat with peril in it that will help it pop the green you have is a timeless classic color it will be around long after your playing with you future grandchildren, just saying and for fun put a fancy belt line color to complement the green. Looks like you guys had some fun there and that's what it's all about hope to meet you someday out on the road.

[@russellsandridge2635]

I just found your channel and i love how fresh and excited you both are. i am 58 and my husband is retiring and i want him to travel with me in a skoolie about the size of your. i can't wait to meet you two on the road someday.

[@michaels.8663]

That's awesome, I'm 60 and my wife and I are about to sell our house and get a bus, we're not gonna travel full time yet, but we are gonna live in it full time and I can't wait!

[@russellsandridge2635]

@@michaels.8663 I am noticing that mit isn't just for younger people. Hope to see you and your wife on one of these events Michael. Are you doing the build yourself?

[@patireland3345]

Quite an event. Looking forward to hearing what happens in the next chapter of your meetup. Actually, your Green looks nice. It's a welcome change from School Bus Yellow. Cool to caravan with that many folks. Enjoy your stay.

[@docholiday7758]

I met several Skoolies last winter by Lake Havasu City. A very friendly, cool and creative group of people. I enjoyed listening to some great live jazz from a nearby group. Have fun!

[@CharlesAnsman]

Dude, you need to take care of her, she's a keeper !

[@davearnold9328]

I don't remember ever seeing anyone smile as much as you two!

[@JW-jl8iq]

You guys are in my favorite part of the USA. Az rocks in the winter for sure.

[@jerryforeman4543]

You should paint it a gray to go with the gray, white and black motef. Circle those vans and schoolies around up!

[@jerrywestin3447]

I just started watching you guys! What a cute couple! You guys are funny! When you said you had to set up! And this was all you had! Priceless!

[@ramouz4790]

I've been solo traveling in my Skoolie for 2 months now from the East coast now currently in TX, haven't had a chance to jump on a caravan yet and meet other Skoolies :') Can't wait to find my peoples!

[@helihead11]

I remember the episode where you showed the stove flame. There is a set screw near the burner that will adjust the flame height. You would first need to open or take off the stove top and the adjustment would start with full on and lower the flame so there is no yellow flame then lower the knob to make sure the flame doesn’t go out. Then fine turn it if the simmer flame is too low. You don’t want it to go out is the main thing.

[@ladytrekkeradventures8376]

Name the Bus….As I said earlier your bus was seen quite a few times in different vlogs. Its getting known quickly needs an identity. Really enjoying your journey and watching your growth in the Skoolie community. Wish I had one and maybe a future dream.

[@mcooper5929]

Met you for a minute Nice to see you there. I moved across the road because of the crowded situation.

[@AdamandAtlas]

Jimmy reminds me of Napoleon dynamite on that ebike 😂 watching this makes us so excited for skooliepalooza next year!!! 🥰

[@o.c.smithiii2626]

To paraphrase Napoleon Dynamite, “Natalie, I brought you a delicious grass soda”

[@wilfordclement5611]

I've been calling you for some time on this channel I really enjoy it just when it got exciting the video had to end 🙁 I could feel the excitement in the air as everyone was moving, u kiddos are enjoying your life as u are young, love you're Channel ,can't wait to see what's going to happen, have fun 😊

[@garrycollie2135]

Enjoy skooliepalooza. We love our Lectric 2.0 bikes. Garry and Marilyn

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you, we love ours too! 😄🚲

[@garypollock1949]

I couldn't help but notice the flame on your burner when you where cooking Ramen. If you turn on the burner, then pull off the control knob, and look inside the stem sticking out where the control knob was, you will see a slotted screw head. Take a screw driver, and turn the screw and you can decrease or increase the flame height. Right now it looks like it is getting to much air. This is a common thing. Every time I change or clean the orifices on mine, I have to adjust them.

[@Debrajoy]

It looks like so much fun! I've been to a couple of the RTRs and then I sold my camper van but I'm ready to do my Honda Odyssey now! I would love to see some of those buses. I love your ceiling and the white cabinets! And of course that beautiful green! Maybe I'll see you there next year 💜

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

Great videos as always you two. I saw another video on the evac going on and your bus was right in view of the convoy leaving. See ya in 2023 or mid 2022 on the road.

[@DannyA3579]

For the love of G-d…provide a PO Box where we can ship you some shredded cheese…or some good quality cheese and a grater. You two crack me up. Really enjoy your videos.

[@melissafields6628]

This is such an amazing video. I just saw this for the 1st time today. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories of that caravan. Had so much fun that year despite the move. It really showed how amazing the nomad community is. P.S. I was the more experienced person Jimmy was referring that showed you the way. In the white shuttle bus with the yellow stripe & generator on the back. ;) Hope to meet y'all out there in 2024!!!!!

[@JenSwarbrick1966]

I was watching 'BunnyPlaysHere' and she showed everyone having to leave as well. Also, Ride and Seek are two more of my favs so it's cool that you're all in the same group. Hopefully everything has turned out okay. I was really hoping you guys would have an amazing time at your first SKPL! That was definitely the world's longest caravan haha!

[@bondy0075]

Ciao Natalie and Jimmy...WOW what an amazing experience for you both 🚌🚌 meeting so many like-minded people and gaining new ideas from all of theses beautiful new traveling friends ... Definitely make your own mark on your homebus . So awesome you were gifted two bikes so deserved 😀😀 that'll make a difference in your adventures 👍👍 stay cool U2 Ciao Wendy 🇭🇲 in 🇮🇹❤️🙏💜 Stay safe and well everyone 👋👋

So glad you got the problems solved. And y’all are so cute. Safe travels.

[@richardpalmanteer9798]

Hey, you made it!!!, Ok now you guys like I always say are having to much fun. I enjoyed the RTR in 2020 I meet Panda Monium and I got to meet Bob Wells and take a picture with him that was cool. I spent the winter of 2019-2020 in and around Quartzsite with my 26 foot Class C motor home. I had been on the road for 4 years and came back to Washington State. That Ramen looked good, and Jimmy I don't like spicy stuff either. Sorry you guys had to move but looks like it all worked out. Ok have fun and as always "Enjoy The Adventure." 🙂

[@chhook949]

Amazing video spectacular scenery must have been quite the sight with all the Skoolies rolling thru town😲 Congratulations on the bikes! Adaptability in the nomadic life is key and you handled very well came out the other side still smiling 👍 ENJOY!! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

That would be awesome to bring my skoolie to. Great video

When searching for decals, remember that you already have a Clemson tiger paw decal, if you brought it with you, that is. Enjoy Skooliepalooza, looks like great fun.

[@ldygzlle1291]

Great job on the video. You covered the move just so well. Thank you. Hope to see you this year!

Enjoyed all the footage of the buses and layout of the event. You are doing a great job of presenting your story. Love ❤️ the e-bikes too. No more 7 mile hikes to get to the trailhead. 😄

Keep the green! Name it "No Big Dill".

“It’s the crazy people you’ll meet out here.” It’s has been fascinating the people that I’ve met in my travels, everybody has stories. Now you know the advantage of having wheels on your house. 🙃

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Yes, we've loved meeting such awesome people and hearing their stories of how they got into life on the road 😊

[@vickidecker9923]

I love the color of your bus. It's look great with the wooden door. Maybe ad some artwork and your logos and it would spice it up a little.

[@tlhod3409]

You can't change your bus colour! I was watching another video and actually said outloud...to myself...'Hey! That's Jimmy and Natalie!' as you drove by. Your bus colour is now part of your image :)

[@azulagirl325]

Stinks you all had to move. Hopefully you don’t have to leave the new old spot. That’s exciting you got ebikes!!! Those are so cool that they fold up

[@Hmd938]

Omg did I call this sponsorship?! DOPE. Btw y’all should be proud. 15k subs?? Truly y’all have grown so quickly! Congrats!!

[@Buss_Journey1]

Good luck! Have fun! If possible can you put on an update in a few days! I hope to be there next year 🙏! Thanks Joe.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! 💚 We're working on a part 2, but we may not have it ready until Monday! 😊

[@eloyanzaldua1889]

So why were people kicked out of the first place n why were they told if the went back to the original place they would be run off?

[@journeywithserenity5655]

Love that I geeked out over the fact that I'm eating turkey taco soup while watching this!!!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha, that's awesome! Sounds yummy! 😄

[@creekjonsun]

When all the buses migrated to the new site... It reminded me of all the RV's in the movie "Independence Day :)

[@skooliemom]

I was disappointed we are still working on our bus, I really wanted to attend this year. It's great that everyone was able to relocate. I love the e-bikes, we have scooters. We are thinking we will have to have a vehicle because we have 2 kids..neither of us wants to drive a separate car though.

[@meredithheath5272]

That IS interesting!!! There are so many different types of "rigs" - large/small; older/younger; more fancy/ diy.... Fantastic types of friendly - and talented people - dogs! Glad that not all are actually skoolies, but everyone is accepted! Nice verbal description and narration throughout this video!! (Hopee you don't mind - Jim's teeth are fabulous!) (How did you two meet?!)

[@waryrpryncs]

I am so excited that you guys were in our area! I was hoping y'all were going to Skoolipalooza when I saw you guys! I hope you had fun and will be back!

[@LisaSoulLevelHealing]

I appreciate your drone shots 🙂 I'm not there, but this really makes me excited to see the communities forming that we can be a part of.

[@SeekingDiscoveryBus]

So much stress to get out quick. Hopefully, I can make it out next year!

Hi you two I think you might need to watch Gonagain 's video about Folding Ebikes A design Problem That could break your neck !!! I noticed Natalie's bike has the same type of Ebike Problem . Please Watch there video, His wife broke her ankle pretty bad because of this design problem . Gonagian is a KZbin channel , and they are a good channel to watch .

[@bonniepelletier9990]

What a great experience this will be meeting others living just as you are. The new/ old location looks much nicer anyway. Enjoy!!

[@BUDDYVARGAS]

This was a great episode ya'll . Pretty cool that you got the Ebikes.

Really enjoy watching your video , sorry everyone had to move. Skooliepalooza looks amazing!! I’m hoping I’ll be done with my bus, and can visit next year.

[@Tussse]

First of all love your videos, and just have to say english is a fun language. And as it is my second as a Swede that might explain a bit of my confusion as I read about this video and the worlds longest caravan and was thinking a caravan at a skoolie event, weird..... for me a caravan is the house on wheels you tow behind your car..... :) but this might be a more British word and meaning of it....

[@BlueMooseTraveler]

the best way to get broken shell out of the egg is to use a bigger part of the shell... super easy!

You let Natalie drive...hurray!!!

[@michaelribordy7831]

Congratulations on the bikes. I'm super jealous. Lol You've definitely leveled up since Lubbock (Lubbsuck).

[@PapaDrewsRV]

I wish I could have made it supper bummed out. Happy you all went and had fun right on

[@o.c.smithiii2626]

I think the paint on your bus is nice. I’ve said this before, I think you might spruce it up, by making woodie panels that match the ones on the bottom of your doors, to put I. The flat space under the windows down to the reinforcement/rub rail mist of the way along the side of the bus. But if you really want to change it, there is no shame in buying a couple of gallons of paint and some rollers & brushes and slapping it on.

[@jeanninespinner2244]

Cool!!! Didn't realize this was your second year, bravo!!!👋

[@evelyndunn50]

So sorry you had to move, really enjoyed the special dinner you made. Safe travels.

Hey guys...don't y'all have the TV that folds down into your counterttop? I was thinking y'all did that. Tiffin has come out with a "new" design using that. I think they owe you some money for taking your idea! (Jane in SC)

[@Wayoutthere]

Heh, this does not even come close to real chaos. For Skoolie life, when you can get kicked out any moment, this is simply 'Tuesday' :P
