Saw your reply thanks. I am a similar age to you and like your vids alot as I can relate/fully agree with your topics of discussion. We need to help the homeless, stop carving up land/trees for sheds/roads/runways etc. Reduce unneeded lighting etc. We all need to do more local travel, live more basic and be happier what we got, o and ride bicycles more! Take care and keep in nature whilst it's still here!

Ive been watching your videos for a while. I like your vids/chats even if sometimes they are 'not too cheery ones'! Your a good man with some good ideas (blankets & look after fellow humans/be kind). There's no easy fix to the problem but germany seem to have a good system!

Thank you for the kind words. I know that sometimes my videos are not to cheery but humanity has some real issues that need to be fixed if our species is going to prolong our existence. We spend to much time, resources, money, and thought on ways to hurt each other when we could use all of those things to help everyone.

And just about smoking just think of all the money people could save if they were smoking whether they have a job but they don’t have a job they struggle or they don’t struggle just think about giving up smoking how many thousands of dollars you would save doing that and you know I just watched your video. What about, the way you did the breakdown how much your car cost to operate and how much a bicycle cost into the next difference would be if you smoked in that video you understand what I’m trying to say This is another good video right here thank you

I’m not sure what your name is, but this is a really good video. I’ve watched it quite a few times actually. And you know what my question is I have a YUBA E8 I think it is it’s the Mundo electric bike so I’m wondering how much does your bike weigh, mine is a electric assist and I really like it. I would never get a full-time electric bike you know where a throttle I would never do that this is the bomb. I’ll tell you anyways I just curious how much your bike weighs but nothing on it approximately because my tubing is much More beefy than yours but I think it’s because it’s thinner metal and of course it’s high-tech YUBA lol Anyways, I’d like to see more videos like this cause you’re right homelessness is not something to be made fun of, but I have noticed read something somewhere in comparison the more wealthy people there are the higher the homeless population is And there are places in the south west and through Texas where you can buy tracks of land in the desert for cheap money gonna come up with a deposit but anyways in Arizona you can get land for $5000 for a half acre you know it’s hot in summertime but it’s decent in winter time so all you gotta do is Get some pallets and what not and make your place and the only way to do that I can see with the cargo bike like a long tail you just build yourself a trailer doesn’t have to be beautiful. It just gotta be a trailer and adapt it to what you need for it, you need it longer than you just add stuff to it. Find some crutches and fasten them to the frame of the trailer, the bicycle trailer and all sudden you piece sheet rock and you got a platform. I did talk to text so if there’s any typos, look forward to hearing back from you

The Surly Big Dummy weights 55 pounds by it self it's made of chromoly steel. Your bicycle is probably made of aluminum that's why the tubes are fatter. On most days when I'm riding with load it's near the 300-350 pound range but that includes myself at 230 pounds. Hope this answers your questions. 🤠

I know if I didnt have a good support structure I would be living on the street because of a work injury. Sometimes its a choice, my uncle choosed to live in his car for awhile but there are some people who just got knocked down and just haven't able to been able to pick themselves up or dont have a support structure to help them.

Have you yet made that video in order for the homeless how to keep them warm and healthy and also dry Just a reminder, that’s all I know you get busy and what not

Boy Scouts is there a training for becoming homeless or house less or nomadic let’s call it nomad from now on. Can we all agree on that let’s stop the conversation and the homeless and let’s call people because it’s really what we are nomads. Say like I live in Maine, so we moved to Maine to Florida. We’re nomadic we relocated somewhere doesn’t matter if we moved to a campground and work in the summers there none of that matters we’re nomadic because we relocated.

One more question for you do you ride your bike back-and-forth to work or what percentage are you on your bicycle and what percentage are you on or in your car where you actually drive I live up here in Northern Maine
@CargoBikeCowboy7 ай бұрын
I used to ride my bicycle to work but now my job is closer to home and I walk. I'm on my bicycle for 97 percent of the time. I try never to use the car. I will ride my bicycle or walk most places. This year of 2024 I have only been in the car when my girlfriend and I are going somewhere on the weekend together. She does not ride in the cold at all. Her arthritis will not allow her to be out in the cold, she's a Southern girl from Tennessee and has no tolerance for the cold.

Think about this, my friend, the more wealth there is in a country, especially America, the more Parvati there will be a look at the last 20 years notice how high the incomes have gone and notice how the poverty has risen that is a fact

You’re assuming people just sat on their ass and didn’t pay their bills. You don’t know if they had medical expenses. You don’t know if they had a death in the family. You don’t know if they have mental health issues. You don’t know if they had to choose between food and a place to live goes places are thousand dollars a month and a lot of people barely get $1000 a month on disability or even some people barely take home $1000 a month if they are working so you really wanna rethink that I was one of them at one point

There’s many many people if you follow invisible people some of those people have high, paying jobs that are now living on the street. It was the nurse that was living on the street she lost her job. Can’t remember why but you can go back and you can look at those videos, and she has now since passed away, your judge way too many situation do you know absolutely nothing about there are these people the reason why some of them go to the better neighborhoods to set up tent city because those are the safe neighborhoods and then eventually saw some of them turn unsafe because of bad behavior from a small percentage of homeless people cannot really think differently than what you are stop listening to all this propaganda against homeless people, and against Parvati and everything

Maybe you should really listen to my videos before making comments. I'm not judging anyone. Like I said I was homeless at one point myself. And a lot of people Did Not pay their rent during covid. They say at home getting an extra $600.00 a week plus their unemployment and still didn't pay their rent. I worked through all of covid and got no extra income for my effort. You really need to pay more attention to what I am saying in my videos. This video was to try and get people to look at the homeless in a different way and be more kind to them and maybe help them a little bit, because our government isn't going to help them.
