MY STORY: Why Do I Live In A Tent? Canvas Tent - Season 2 -Ep#77

[@bwolfe2559]

I love your personality, your living how I've always wanted to live , a more simple and peaceful existence

[@bosshogg1ful]

Just finished watching this video and it makes me more determined to go up to southeast Missouri to 10 acres of woods that I bought and start building. Just lost my wife of 47+ years to oral cancer and have been lost since them. Although I am 69 years old, I don't think it is too late. Thanks for the inspiration. May God Bless you and your daughters and keep you on your journey.

[@stevemotley808]

Do it.

[@everydayhu-man2411]

DO IT!!!!

[@anneoconnor8741]

At the age of 56 I moved from London to Turkey, very different, I wanted warm and blue skies, not grey. Five years later I have only one regret-that I did not do it sooner! Follow your dreams and make the most of the life you have left!

[@ferdonandebull]

GrandpaJim I live in southeast Missouri ... if you are close to butler county and going to be a stranger let me know and you won’t be...

[@robbiesmith2525]

sorry for your loss jim

[@amandareylugo]

I love strong women. Thank you for being you and setting a different standard for all.

[@jimdude1743]

Learning your story has actually brought tears to my eyes a couple times. Not because I was sad for you. Because I was so happy for you. I also live in a tent. Mine is only 14x10 with 7 foot head clearance. I am extremely happy living in my tent in the woods. I may be houseless but I'm not homeless. A house is just a house. A home is where your heart is at.

[@nazur72]

did you buy the land or did you find public land or a national park to live in?

[@leebstill]

How do you secure your stuff when you leave?

[@thetravelingkittens1393]

I know you won't see this comment but I wrote down my list a couple years ago. Mine was travel and my cats. That is what made me happy. Two years later I am on the road with my cats and writing children's books about them. I came up with The Traveling Kittens! I sold everything and am traveling in a Prius and will be starting a KZbin channel as soon as I can figure it out! Glad to have found your channel. My journey is just beginning!

[@SpiritForest]

I did see your comment.. and think that is wonderful. What an epic journey you are on. Congrats!

[@tyiazzetto4454]

I love your story. I lost my job and am going through a separation with my wife (2 kiddos involved). I'm looking at staying on a great Uncle's land full time (he has 142 acres). I look forward to watching more videos, ya sold me on this one. Thanks for sharing!

[@rkirby61]

Who in the world could not love your dream? I wish you all the beauty in the world....happiness is healthiness. Your laugh always makes me smile.

Your story is inspiring... Thx

[@mp91967]

So inspiring!

[@justfantastic444]

Love this ! So inspired thanks

[@marysullivan1588]

I wouldn't let a guy buy me a car ! They throw that crap back at you and expect you to do everything and anything for them because they gave you a new car . No ring , no car . People who don't have to work for things have no idea ! Stay strong ! My Irish mother taught us to not take any crap from anyone and be strong and independent ! You are a strong independent woman and your girls will be strong young women as they grow up by seeing their mom being strong . Oh and your dog is awesome ! Love you videos !

[@royramey5659]

I'm a guy and i've been sometimes able to help a women out and want nothing in return.As far as threatning with a ring , i think that held her back, she needs to be her self and not what somebody else wants her to be, she's for sure on the right track.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

My daughter went to Africa many years ago on a humanitarian mission. She traveled and taught for 3 months all alone. She was taken advantage of by some dishonest people to the point that when it was time to leave she had her ticket home but not enough money to buy food for the 3 day trip. She was only 19 at the time and too proud to tell us of her plight because we were not thrilled about it in the first place. When she was safely home she told me that she had learned a lot about trust and life’s realities in that short time. She had sold her American T-shirts and a pair of her athletic shoes in the airport to provide for 2 meals on the way home. The next thing she said makes me choke up to this day, (yes, this day): “But you know what dad? I never cried once.” You remind me a lot of her.

[@SpiritForest]

Gary Fairbrother wow she is a strong woman.. yes I would of done the same thing. Thanks for sharing her story..

it wasn't a pleasant experience and she made it home though which is great. Africa is a wonderful place, unfortunately she got u lucky there, which can happen anywhere in different ways I suppose. I wish you all the best.

[@marilyncosby7106]

You have the strength and fortitude to fix your own roof... don't let intimidation stop you! There's instruction videos for EVERYTHING on KZbin. It's not rocket science. It might be hard work, but it's doable...You go, girl!!

[@flowerbull2]

You go girl!!! I believe all women should be thought to be strong!! Not to be dependent of any one but God and them self ! So I am very happy that you found your calling. Yessss!!

[@DONANDANDREA]

Thanks for sharing your journey,and being open and real!

[@marywalker2896]

Congratulations you did the absolutely right thing..I love your laugh..you’re a joyful person..the spirits love u..and the fairy’s dance at night around the campfire..you have been making memories with your children in the last five years..that will last a lifetime..

[@carolemayfield9619]

Thank you so much for sharing this video!! I just turned 60.. It has taken me this long to start living my dream in the Mts.of NC..Better late than never! I am so happy you made this move while you are still young!! Enjoy!!😊⛺

[@kathleenreadinger2068]

Good for you Carole, that is my personal goal...small home, in the mountains

[@catkemuri7997]

you are amazing. I am currently living in a tent and going back and forth between living on my mothers land and dry camping in the wilderness every 3 weeks or so. this is so motivating :) I want to one day get a lot so that I can start building my own little winterized canopy tent and make it a permanent home. i found your channel yesterday and i can NOT stop watching. truly inspiring.

[@beeestuff9819]

the secret really is silence. everytime i told people about my goals, they always fail one way or another. this video was very inspiring for and probably for a lot of people. thank you,

[@robertcolvin3182]

Bravo. At a dark time in my life, I was laying in bed looking up at the ceiling thinking what in the hell have I done? I too had an epiphany and made a list. Now, 45 years later, I've done it all. Literally, done it all. The list is the roadmap and without a map, the journey has no direction. Amend the list along the way but always have the list. Good for you for posting this great advice.

[@dianne6112]

Tammy you are living your dream! Your video brought tears to my eyes. Your a true inspiration.

[@SpiritForest]

Thank you Dianne!! :) Got to live your dreams.

[@glendathegoodwitch6987]

I found you yesterday on YT because I fantasize about living in a tent. I realize I have been doing this for years. My husband never camped, my kids grew up -- so they don't camp with me anymore, and all I want to do is sleep in a tent long term. I collect amazing camping equipment and am not afraid to camp in campgrounds alone -- in fact, I love it! I want to camp in the woods alone for an extended time but am afraid of robbers -- not bears, not cold weather, just robbers. I know it is very unlikely, but that is what I face. Anyway, you give me courage. Subscribed and watching!

[@trekOCLVone]

Your story is compelling and makes a big statement and reflects who you are. Friends won't pay your bills. It looks like you have your health and enjoying the environment that you are creating. Thank you for sharing. P.S. making a list of what makes you happy is priceless.

[@markpayne1302]

Thank you for sharing your personal story, means a lot to so many, including me!! I can see the overwhelming joy in your soul. Keep going!!

[@bsfranklin1]

You are AWESOME, love your silliness and laughter, willingness to do what makes you happy. You go girl!!

Du är en riktig underbar kvinna ! Exakt som jag sa . RESPEKT !💝

[@annakinder8750]

I bought a camper with my burial money, to park it and go camping every week end in the summer.

[@prizantsproducts4u]

OMG! What an awesome story!! You are an amazing woman! Roof, land, roof, land...I would pick THE LAND TOO! Like Scarlet O'Hara's father told her, Katie Scarlett the land is everything!!! Yes, I know you did the right thing. WOW! Your daughters are very blessed to have a mother like you!!! Yes, camping living Halleluja! Don't replace the roof, cut your losses and sell the house! Love your story!!! Shalom and G-d bless you!

[@spiritinkling7581]

Great lesson Tammy. The universe tells us what we really need. I would have done the same thing. It made life joyful and fulfilling. ( In addition to your daughters!!!!!!I love your story...thank you for sharing;)

Your Smile is as contagious as your drive. Thank you!!!

[@scottway7576]

Thank you for the video. I have had this dream since I was a child I am now 44yo. Recently I have moved into my truck so I can start to save the money to get my own land. I have figured that it is now or never for me. I have never thought about the canvas tent house before but I like the idea of it.so thanks again for the video. I have always believed that if one person can do it then so can another. And now I just had to get off my butt and make my dream happen. Stop my habit of living to work and started working to live.

[@SpiritForest]

Got to live your dreams!

[@haroldgatlin1332]

I don't know anyone that has ever lived in the country that didn't want to do what your doing. I lived on a farm in Tennessee all my life doing construction management all over America living in a camper an all my life I've wanted to just go up in mountains an build a cabin an live. I've raised four kids by myself they're all grown now an I'm very close to do what your doing. Thank you for your videos an that is reason why I watch your videos it's not to learn about bush craft I know that part it's the freedom an happiness I see is what I love about your channel. Thank you.

[@kevinbungles]

An old Native American saying that I learned a long time ago... You cannot do for your responsibilities ... If you are Not balanced and have taken care of you... You found that balance, hold on to it, nurture it ... You are Awsome! ATB from Florida! PS: I have " restarted" my journey, thanks to you... I have made some arrows n refitted my bow with a new string, got my bed roll together n pack n tent ! I am working towards getting out to camp , hunt , fish .. As soon as mid November... Thanks "T"!

[@greywolfwalking6359]

jajmdy it is able to speak so well to sooo many situations facing people today, n when you are troubled with something or someone, now that you know the story n the lesson from it, you ask yourself:" are you feeding the White wolf or the Black one? " I'm honored that you njoyed the legend.."walk in beauty always"...

[@jajmdy]

Yes I agree I posted it one time on facebook and so many people loved it and asked me to post it again. It definitely spoke to me the first time I saw it. Thank you.

I love how you're inspiring people to JUST DO IT! I'm the type of person who just goes, "who cares if it fails, we'll figure it out", even with a family, we'll figure it out. Working from home is definitely ideal, which is what I have right now, it's great. Thank you for sharing your story with us, I'm sure that was tough. You're livin' the dream and you're happy. That's all that matters.

I truly loved your video an must say that things happen for a reason. We inspire ourselves to be better and to be wiser but there comes a time when we grow or gravitate towards our own goals no matter what they maybe.

[@Alexmontis3843]

I agree when you said i found my purpose, cause you are really good at it, I guess your motivation was the jealousy for your friend that it turned out good. I already found was my purpose, working with children, it took me 36 years to find it, like you said I made a list on what I like to do, after a breakdown in my life and playing with the children was the one. I work with children now and i love it i also do voluntering job in a creche and mum and tots Now I have another goal get a flat or small house for one person (me) now i live in an house sharing and to do this I have to do more hours and that why I m doing a course in early year educator so I can do more than 4 hours a day. All the best for your next goal. I m with you.
