Healing in the Wild: My Journey to Peace and Self-Discovery Living in Nature

[@Raychilljay]

I’ve been a violent offender psychiatric nurse for almost 20 years. I have seen every level of violence and cruelty man can do to man. I’m very compassionate, but rarely emotional. Your life story had me SOBBING! You are a precious and rare soul. The fact that you are so empathetic and kind after all the trauma, neglect and brutality is beyond beautiful. You are stunning. Ps- Jeeps and tiny dogs truly are life!! 🫶🏼😁

[@gloriamachado882]

I LOVE THE DEEP SINCERE WAY IF LIFE YOU LIVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH! SMILING MORE AS YOU SAY YOU DO! YOURE ALOT PRETTIER AND HAPPY LOOKING THAT SHARES AND REFELECTS INTO US! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤❤ LOVE YOURE VIDEOS 💙😁😘😍💐😚

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

You have a real talent . Well done 👍 peace and silence are gifts of immeasurable worth.

[@DCL26]

I love and appreciate your spiritual, wise and poetic writings. Thank you.

[@joleighva]

I’m so glad you’ve finally found some peace. I suffer from PTSD and depression and I know how difficult it can be to find just a few moments of it here and there. To find it in an extended period is amazing and I’m so happy for you. When you stood there and let us listen to the silence… I cried. Silence! Perfect silence! That’s so incredible. Before I found your channel, I never understood how people found beauty in the desert. It just seemed so barren. Now I get it. Your photography is incredible and your love for the subject has made me fall in love with the desert too. THANK YOU! And thank you for sharing your life so openly. It truly is a gift to all of us. Everyone can take away something. It’s powerful. ❤

[@theadventuresofwizardtom2436]

I love that camping spot. I've been there many times in my old jeep. I love the Old Spanish Trail

[@GuitarJohn421]

I honestly understand how nature brings you Peace. When I was in a bad way in the 80's it was nature that brought me peace. I absorbed everything the smells, the sounds, and what I saw. I'm glad how it works for you.❤🎸🐻🐿️😺🍵

[@forevermetalartm.winegart]

My way to deal my depression is to build metal art or drawing what come out of my mind. I'd love to do what you do...but I'm in the middle of nowhere and that really helps me deal with the tragedy in my past. Love your channel, Sarah and Lil one. Wishing you peace ❤

[@samaraosborne1585]

[@TheFreewheelinNomad]

Sister, your journey is powerful 🌍🔥! Trading the usual grind for the beauty of nature is a bold move 👏🏾🌲. It’s incredible to see how much freedom and growth the road can bring 🚗💨. Wishing you more unforgettable moments and endless peace on your path 🙌🏾✨!

[@laurieerickson7205]

Nothing like this visual diary can convey what you’ve discovered about yourself out in the wild. If you write a book, I’ll read it, but this in and of itself tells a poignant and beautiful story.

[@kenp9469]

You seem more comfortable in groups. I believe you have started to heal, I salute you, for how hard you are working on it.

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you!

[@skyepilotte11]

The desert is an amazing place. The vastness, incredible vistas, solitude and amazing night skies. Sarah...wish you the peace and emotional fortitude in your journey.

[@milesandmemoriesonthebackr8244]

Thanks for sharing this. You have posted some videos over the years but in My opinion, this may have been Your best. Be happy. See You out there.

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you so much!

[@chonkyb3134]

That’s a pretty area, I wish I knew how to find areas like that 😊

[@kellybenhart3244]

You Got this. You are Awesome. ❤

[@Peter-nt1ts]

Wow, Jeepsy! Just, wow! My day is richer because of this video. Thank you.

[@KM-jm5xj]

...full circle wisdom coming through that dark tunnel that no one else lived... k ❤

[@dc76384]

I vacationed in Montana taking a roadtrip from Indiana. I love the natural beauty of Montana, but what really caught my attention was the quiet. Now bare in mind I work in a steelmill, and it's just a constant assault on your senses. So the dead still quiet of Montana, while very welcome...was initially unnerving. Ohh but what a great experience. Renewed, and refreshed. A quiet so complete I could hear my own heart beating loved it

[@Corgis175]

I find the desert very peaceful.

[@Devonellah]

Such a Beautiful Sentiment and I love the Music too!!!! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠 Your Words really moved me... I am going through a lot right now.... Someday -- I will be out there again... Someday I will start my healing journey as well ~ Thanks for blazing the path Forward!!!! To all who get to feel this kind of Freedom it's so special!!!

[@HerCalifornia]

Beautiful video! ❤

[@freddie8518]

For your sleep is a small structure but your living room is huge The great outdoors.

[@nature10879]

I felt peace watching this. Thank you Sarah

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

Excellent drone work in this one 🌞, you're becoming a cinematic producer, 👍 Rock on 🙂.

[@PhyllisGarcia-cf7fz]

Love this place you were at! It's beautiful, peaceful and much solitude. Your peaceful voice and beautiful commentary is mesmerizing, that I feel so good after watching your videos! You look beautiful and so peaceful as you were sitting on that large flat boulder reflecting on things. It's clearly noted that nature is working for you. Being in the lime light of society and working and putting on a face and showing everyone that everything is just fine...when clearly it's not. I've had bad times and struggles but nothing in comparison to what you have endured. But look at yourself, and you've managed to make big strides in your well being and that speaks volumes of where you were...and where you are now! I believe you have schooled us on what the great outdoors can do for ones soul, well being and mental health!! Thank you for being an ambassador for being in nature and taking care of ones mental health! You're a beautiful person with a big heart ❤️ and just know that you are loved!! 👍💕 Have a wonderful week where ever the wind takes you my friend! Much love. 💕

[@lauriegoforth8631]

All that open space is very healing.

[@Outdoorgypsy]

Hey girl! Another great spot and video! Nothing better than a healing journey and a space to confront the pain💜

[@2jerrysapp560]

Wanderingjeepsy the drone footage is excellent

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you!

[@briandudley9796]

Sarah, I just subscribed to your channel about a month ago and really enjoy watching your travels, and content. I was a young Air Force security guard back in the 80's stationed at Nellis AFB Nevada. I owned a 1980 Jeep CJ5 and on my days off would travel every desert road, spring, and hotspot in Nevada and California. I along sometimes with a friend would camp and boondock in some of the most remote places, and have the time of my young life. That was 41 years ago and my soul and heart longs to go back and relive those days of wonder and happiness. Thank you for videos and the places you go to rejuvenate your sprit, I feel sometimes that I'm there with you. Peace and happiness to you Sarah. Bill....

[@Iconiclacey]

I can see how being on the road brings peace. I also understand the hiding our feelings and emotions and everyone thinking you are fine and have it together. We never know what someone else is going through. We can’t spend our lives living in the past or on what ifs. If we did that we would never find ourselves. You have to face things head on even when you don’t want to because that is how we grow and find ourselves in this life. Much love and as always safe travels to you Sarah! ❤

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Daltenn1]

I hope that you are compiling all your writings. There are so many beautiful prose in your videos.

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you so much! I do save all my writings 🙂

Sarah, your videos are so professional, it's seldom seen in many KZbinrs. They are, deep, meaningful and the photography is awesome. You are certainly talented girl.

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you so much!

It's good to see that you are healing and prospering Sarah! God bless you!

[@mikeb3603]

Great stuff Sarah! Thanks❤

[@steveleavesnoadventurebehi4349]

Wow, that was a fantastic video. You are right there is nothing like being out in nature. Nothing around but the peace in the quiet there’s nothing better. I enjoy your videos very much. Take care and be safe.

[@sjayne27]

So glad you are able to be back on the open road and out in nature! 💗🙏💗

[@offgridhomesteadthemudpuddle]

Keep adventuring and confronting every challenge!

[@curtisgustke]

I just found your channel and wow wow wow you are in nature for sure your doing something I have always wanted to do. But I had to step up and be a single father then the cooperate world took my soul

[@MOTrav]

Gives new meaning to the Wild Lifestyle! Take care and roll on with the great scenery.

[@AllenCheck]

Beautiful vid Sarah, your drone footage is awesome!😮 And the message you bring is way more awesome, thank you❤😊

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you!

[@WizardOfWhoopee]

Awesome site, as always. If you ever see a Dodge Challenger out there in the desert, which would seem out of place, it's not Kowalski, it's just me.

[@jonnygrizz]

The "Sometimes to find ourselves..." statement says it all. Such a wonderful video! I am moved beyond thought of anything to write. Just wanted to let you know that.

[@masayoshiba]

You're very brave. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you.

[@LisaR-g1x]

How do I support myself while living that way? 62 years old, bad back. I dream of your life. ❤❤

With great difficulty. Everything takes money and also camping alone in the desert can get lonely and boring and the weather can be a big factor. It ain't all fair skies and fun. I camp in the desert by myself a lot. I've outlived all my old buddies. I like to shoot and it's getting harder to find places where you can do that, especially here in California.

[@TheOffroadCamper]

Live simply with only the bare essentials, use the tools and equipment you have. Work remote jobs or work camp opportunities.

[@jr2no160]

66 yo retired Veteran with two life saving spine surgeries. Plus several others. I built out a Cargo Glamper and into my second year of getting back into my elements, nature. If you really want it bad enough, just figure it out and do it. The figuring and doing is simultaneous. See you down the road sometime, maybe 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@AnaGRodriguez-jm4vc]

Sarah what a beautiful spot that is all the blessings and the universe give beautiful spots ❤

[@DanyRivard]

Some people live in large spaces on small plots of land. Others like you live in confined spaces, but with large, very large plots of land where the view never ends. Have a nice day, from Dany!

[@tumater729]

That gravel road experience was great and reminded me of driving down the gravel road to the backside of guadalupe mountains national park about 40 years ago and also of Kasey Chambers who lived with her family in the Australian outback in a tent and wrote the highway song "Dont't talk back" Cheers! ..... lost my dad a few weeks ago and wished I taken care of him better in his final days

[@gregzeigler6244]

Living with that pain takes a a lot out of a person. We all have our demons than haunts us every day. Glad that nature doesn't treat us like people do. Very well put together video Sarah. Safe travels for you and little one 😊

[@deney54]

Thanks, that was great. Is that in AZ. I also like being alone, having a bad childhood and worked at a job I hated, I now live in a small town and stay to myself. I am going to start traveling more, have been to Quartzsite a few times and I miss it. I live in WA. State and the weather is cold and wet, not much fun here. Have good dreams on your travels.

[@RodHelms-e5k]

I would like to find a warm spring to soak in and no party

[@suezaple4950]

Your very inspiring to others Sarah that need to find themselves and get back on track, I could take some lessons from you, My mom who I love very much has mid stage dementia, I know she is in there she knows me , but not family members that dont want anything to do with her , its sad. I also love being in nature as yourself , My friends are not into camping in nature as i am . I have very few friends being an introvert... And the ones I did have that enjoyed what i do, have past due alcohol addiction. sad, My dad was an abusive alcoholic . mom was loving , I feel alone, unworthy. I need to do what you are doing because nature is where I also find peace . I have to get up the nerve to go out alone , go camp alone , rent a cabin alone with me and my dog.. God bless you Sarah. London, Ontario, Canada ,

[@exploringnext1111]

Fantastic Opening!!! Heal by Embracing your life, ALL of it. Your life created You, how could you hate You? You are beautiful. I can relate to your life.

Your drone shots are very good. You've become quite an aviatrix. Amelia Earhart would be proud. That one tree with the big circle around it reminds me of Evelyn on Hwy 127 north of Shoshone. There's one lonely old tree there and a big circle behind it. I put up a sign saying EVELYN and other by the tree saying WATER- please. They won't last long.

[@Lisa-on3ee]

your just beginning to be who you really are💜💜 I could say so many things. This time for you is beautiful.., checkin with the true you and she will guide the most Epic way! You are for sure not your past and who knows about the future. YOU ARE.... right now💜 Congratulations sweet one:))

[@matthewschultz3986]

I really dig your channel. It was your locations and tattoos that drew me in but the story has the hooks. Appreciate you.

[@wandacraig8286]

What a perfect spot!!! And all to yourself woth no one else around! Sarah, ive been watching your channel for quite awhile now and I'm so glad you are gaining on the battle within. Ive certainly had my losses ive had to deal with, big ones, but nothing like what youve survived!!! Im truly amazed at how far you've come and the fact that youve shared it all with us is amazing! And even now that you are going through a different kind if very tough situation, you are handling it with wisdom and walking through it all with strength that i dont know if you are even aware! Life has certainly not been easy for you, but you are walking through your journey in such a way that i really hope people are paying attention! We can all learn a thing or two from you. Im 66 and you are teaching me a lot! And yes, finding peace is everything! I think youve connected to the Creator in a most beautiful and hinest way. He never intended that we live in cities. He always intended we live out in nature, being at least somewhat nomadic. Cities were an invention of man. You are an inspiration to so many. Even though my age and disabilities prwvent me from getting out there, at least at yhis point and tume, following you on tour adventures really helps me and i want to tell you a heart felt Thank You Sarah!❤

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Wow! Thank you so much for all these kind words! 🙂🙂

[@jeannettefreeman9023]

That wide open desert with that one tree by itself...So beautiful. I love the wide open desert. I agree with you Sarah nature is so healing and freeing. I always feel even closer to God in nature.

[@randyhenk9639]

💖 I am sure that spot was magical in itself 😊 I would have loved to feel the energy & aura of that tree 🌳 😊 No truer, relatable words...we often won't get the closure for certain things, at least not how we often wish, that is where we have to find it within ourselves...acceptance. We cannot change or control the past, but we can evolve to accepting & forgiving. The roads & nature have helped me greater than any other form of therapy ✨️ 🙌 I laugh when you bring up "feral" as I joke the same lately 😂 it's like damn, hope I am not becoming too feral/a hermit 🤷‍♂️🤣 Continue to do you, healing has no time limit ✨️🙌

I can so relate, especially now with this yucky Washington winter. I really need to be somewhere like where you are. I feel like I could talk to you for days. Unfortunately, my circumstances are keeping me a prisoner here.

[@prophetmargin7497]

Believe it or not, even if you don't feel good, acting or pretending like you do is usually a good thing, remember we become what or who we think we are, so think positive thoughts and your life will change for the the better hun!

[@joleighva]

You obviously mean well and are trying to help because you’re a good person. But please stop saying this to people. At least half of the people you’re saying it to have an actual clinical depression (whether they know it or not), a physical change in your brain. Acting like everything is fine isn’t going to help that. It’s the equivalent to telling someone who has a broken leg to get up and walk it off until it feels better. People with depression are already wearing a mask every day so they don’t worry those who love them. It’s exhausting. By telling them to just act happy, what you’re actually communicating is that their mask isn’t good enough and it’s making you uncomfortable. You seem like the kind of person who would want to know if the messages you share with others aren’t having the positive impact you intended, so I just wanted to make you aware. ❤
