ALL The Road Life LEGENDS | People who Inspire Us

It would appear that all the road life legends are currently residing in Alaska! How we met all of them in just a few days is a random turn of chance. We meet up with ‪@forestyforest‬, ‪@AdventureTimeLoui‬ and Bob Wells of ‪@CheapRVliving‬ ALL IN THE SAME CAMPSPOT. After those goodbyes, we're headed north to see more true legends, Tim & Denise Taylor, who have called the road their home for over 40 years. These are the people who inspire us, the kind we aspire to become. Somehow we visited with them all here in Alaska; road life is pretty wild sometimes!

Thanks everyone for watching! We hope everyone enjoyed sharing in our experience with our road life friends. It was so awesome meeting up with @forestyforest @adventuretimeloui & @cheapRVliving! Now, Who wanted some of that delicious salmon?!

[@quietlife7186]

I would love to have joined you, Foresty and Loui for your meal! I'm very appreciative of Foresty 's recommendation of your channel! My husband and I are truly enjoying every moment of our time with the two of you 💕!!!

[@EverydaySandro]

Loui graciously gave me some of her wild mushrooms she foraged, as I don’t eat fish! They are so amazing to be around, and they thought me a lot about Alaska! Thanks for sharing this story!

[@SlowRoamers]

@@quietlife7186 amazing! Thanks so much for following along!😊😊

[@forestyforest]

I still don't believe the cake was made in your van...! Meg is an amazing chef! Thanks for the kind words, keep on chasing the dream!

[@SlowRoamers]

@@forestyforest ok ok, you’re right, we actually invented “hide away kitchen” it works on basic wormhole theory, we just fold space and time and step into the kitchen back home to do our cooking. 😉 It was rad hanging with you guys, hope to do it again.✌🏼

[@stacky512a]

Foresty forest is a legend.

[@SlowRoamers]

That he is

[@NancyHanson3472]

@stacky512a Yes, indeed! In my humble opinion, Foresty Forest and Rocko are my favorite channel on KZbin. Thanks for doing a collaborative video with him, Slow Roamers, and hopefully, you can do another collaborative video again in the future!

[@stacky512a]

@@NancyHanson3472agreed!

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Yes! Rocko and William are Legends! Well done!

[@SlowRoamers]

Haha, canine legends of KZbin!🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@DetoxProxy]

Epic to say the least. You guys are rockin' it.

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks amigo!🙌🏻😁

[@zeesoutdoors65]

Omg my 3 favorite utubers very cool.

[@SlowRoamers]

Haha, YEP! Hopefully four one day 😁

[@PulpParadise]

Three *of* my favorite KZbinrs, but definitely in the top. For years the only KZbin I ever watched was @CheapRVliving. I discovered @SlowRoamers via @AdventureTimeLoui's video and subbed, then watched @ForestyForest's video the next day. Such a great meetup!

[@SlowRoamers]

@@PulpParadise whew! So glad you found us. Thanks for following along.😊

[@15beowulf]

Awesome scenery! Btw, must admit I stuck around because I recognized Rocko in your video thumbnail, lol

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I’m quite aware that there’s a camp of people on YT that look for Rocko…😁😉

[@AdventuresoftheLandNorth]

Never talk for granted how you guys are able to live and experience life. I am sure it is not always easy but you are doing it on your terms. Most of us can’t say.

[@SlowRoamers]

We’ve run into enough people that have told us that we are “doing it right” and by this time, we’re quite certain this is the right life decision for us. We try not to take our experiences for granted and continue to remind ourselves that not everyone gets to do life this way. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!😊🙌🏻

[@johnowens55]

Good food, Good friends, and good times. a nice little wrinkle in joys of life.

[@SlowRoamers]

Darn right!😁🙌🏻 Thanks for watching, John!

[@4byfarm]

Looks like some good views, good food, and some good stories were shared by many good people in this one! Awesome video you two, cheers 🍻

[@SlowRoamers]

Yes indeed! We’re coming for you guys next!😁 Thanks for watching, Lance!

[@AceRph]

500+ subs this week! And it's no wonder. Another really good episode. Keep it up!

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks man! It’s nice to see people following along a quicker rate. Gives us the warm fuzzies.

[@tikienvy4814]

The salmon looked delicious! Did Meg try to pet the moose?? I’ve met a few of my KZbin heroes over the years and I can appreciate that “fanboy feeling.” Most have been great, I can only think of one who was a bit of a jerk, but his wife was cool (I won’t tell you who that was unless I get you tell you in person some day!). Community is key, you’re right. KZbin gives a false sense of it sometimes, but having a partner, even a berry-eating fiend like Meg is the key to life! Looks like a great time in Alaska. I hope the new alternator fixes your problems and I wish you continued happy slow roaming!

[@SlowRoamers]

She didn’t because I warned her not to…that’s the only reason why she didn’t.🤣🤣 To play the devils advocate (not that being rude is ever acceptable), I think at some point people/channels get to a size that they’re recognized everywhere they go. It’s hard maintain a friendly face for everyone when you’re trying to get somewhere. Anyway, that sucks you didn’t have a great experience with whoever that was. It’s been a great time in AK and eel accented by our time with friends. Spoiler: the alternator totally fixed our issue. Thanks for watching, friends!✌🏼

[@bidog4505]

Legends wow! Nice to be in included in a video that also includes both Simon, Louie and Bob , we are honored. Another well told story of two very genuine and nice people. It was very fun to hang with you both and talking travel, vehicles and life. We wish we were going south with you but instead we will follow your adventures through your exceptional dialog and photography. BTW- Foresty may have inspired you in the beginning but you are now inspiring many others! PS: did your new alternator install improve your life in Betty?

[@SlowRoamers]

Yes indeed, we love your story and will continue ours in a way that mirrors yours. Thanks for taking us in for a few days, it was so good spending time with you both. Yep, the alternator fixed it completely, we’re no longer having any issues with charging.

[@grahames9228]

That well equipped garage came in handy for working on the van.

[@SlowRoamers]

Yep! It’s a dream shop, well equipped, lots of space, dry and warm! Thanks for watching Grahame!

[@robinw2560]

@SlowRoamers do Tim and Denise have a you tube channel.

[@manager-businessdeniserdrc7018]

YAY! Wonderful that you could connect with fellow travelers, even those that inspired you, AND get the Van fixed! You thanked those that watch your channel for their support and comments. I want to take this moment and thank you both AGAIN for being who you are , cheesy and fun like us, and giving us entertainment similar to what we love to do with our free time! Take care as you travel. :). Next week we will be delayed on watching, but we will catch up! (Oh Meg - I am glad you got a break from cooking, although we can see you really enjoy it and are very creative. Too bad the Thai you looked forward to wasn't what you expected. I was thinking you could just add a few more of your spices and then you could enjoy! LOL. We love your free roaming spirit!).

[@SlowRoamers]

Awe, thanks guys, we really appreciate your comments. The Thai food was actually quite tasty, although I think the spice level, even for Meg, was a lot. I think you’ll next weeks video, whenever you get to watch it. Until then…..keep on roamin!😉😁

[@MarcyR-c2v]

❤❤❤ love your channel, Running into Bob Wells ,wow. ❤❤❤yes please.

[@alphatruckhouse8223]

Hey man , been following foresty forever , he mentioned and showed you guys in one i watched recently. Insightful words you speak in here , i feel this lifestyle helps provide that ❤~peace

[@SlowRoamers]

Hey Andy, thanks for watching as always. Hope you’re enjoying your travels! ✌🏼

[@larrymiller2370]

The fish looked good & the carrot cake nice having company once in awhile to visit with. And being able to stay a few days & get work done on the van a plus. Thanks for posting i'll be here next week waiting for the new adventure

[@SlowRoamers]

Yeah, it’s really nice having some time to not have to drive. Thanks for watching Larry, glad you enjoyed this one. See you next week!✌🏼

[@NoOverhead]

So relatable!!! @forestyforest inspired me to do the same. Ultimately, I was always going to leave the "real world", but he made it seem possible. And, then a few years after travel, I decided to start capturing my experiences too on video. LOVE watching your videos. Well written, excellent cinematography, and yes.... I'd love to have a "cook off" with you guys one day. Safe travels, friends!

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks for watching! I’m sure a cook off could be arranged, I volunteer as judge….and therefore must eat the food.😁✌🏼

[@DebReed54]

Looking forward to your Denali Hwy video. 50 + years in Alaska and I still haven’t driven that road!

[@SlowRoamers]

It’s a good one, I promise.😉😊

[@roaming4adventure-nt8yz]

Great video guys! Love your storytelling style. Looked like an awesome time with friends. Thanks for taking us along with you! ❤

[@SlowRoamers]

It was certainly a memorable time, thanks for watching!😊✌🏼

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

I get fan-boying out! I went to Canada to meet one of my biggest inspirations...we bought and built our rigs at the same time. He now lives solely off his income from his vlogs and I was so nervous to meet him. Funny thing is, he did a vlog on being nervous to meet me! But if I were to see Simon, Louie, or Bob?!?!?!? I would get so nervous and turn the other way. I can't wait to see the tour on CheapRVLiving!

[@SlowRoamers]

It’s crazy when you realize they’re all just people. 😁😉

As usual, great scenery and lots of fun watching you connect with like minded friends... that is truly special!! BTW: Speaking of alternators, I just had mine replaced as well, and had electrical issues... so I will learn from that as well. Safe travels on the continuation of your journey, and will check in again next week!

[@michaelthomas934]

Thanks for sharing. Found you through Forrsty Forest. As a driver of vans for a living, getting my hands on an old high mileage vehicle, one the first thing I do is order a new starter and alternator, to have them installed. Also spark plugs and coils are on the list. It helps eliminate source issues. Safe journeys.

[@SlowRoamers]

Hey, glad you found us! Yeah, spares are something I’m starting to stock up on especially for our trip down the pan am. Thanks for watching, see you in the next one!

First time seeing your channel. Really good. Follow all your new friends. I've lived in Alaska and trsaveled a lot of it. It's big with lot's to see and do. Tough as heck winters of 70 below. So adjust your schedule southbound by the end of September. You'll catch autumn two or three times like that. Take care . See you next week
