summer living in my truck camper | ep. 14 | campfires, songwriting, beaches, mountains

[@killa44beast614]

The shot of the mountains through the trees is just pure magic

[@NathanielWise]

there's a lot of magic floating around out here :)

[@baltonme5046]

The single most relaxing sound is the wind blowing through the evergreens.

[@NathanielWise]

it really is one of the best. can’t decide if i like that or the ocean sounds better. definitely a toss up

[@therealdeal67]

I feel so revived after watching your videos, I feel exactly like you do on nature, what a beautiful world we live in, one with nature stays with nature. A better world for us to live in, if people definitely appreciated like you do. As always stay safe and take care. 🙏 🙂

[@NathanielWise]

thanks as always for watching franklin :)

[@observewithme]

Heard some of Open Book in there, beautiful song, one of my favorites. Also damn! that new song sounds seriously incredible. Wonderful video as always, I believe through work like yours, maybe people can take in the perspective. of nature, and understand how its simplicity and serenity can be reflected amongst themselves. Always appreciated Nathaniel thank you. -Alex

[@NathanielWise]

open book is so amazing, love that one. and thank you, i'm happy that you enjoyed my music as well :) thanks for being here!

[@KasiaLovesStyle]

Oh, can’t describe what I want to say. You are so sensitive. I feel you. All the beauty, your voice, so beautiful and exceptional.

[@NathanielWise]

thanks so much for watching :) happy you enjoyed the music

[@shelbymccreesh602]

I’ve taken a step back from KZbin lately. Been busy working two jobs while planning a big ol road trip to the Arctic. I’m on the cusp of departure and finding comfort from your videos. I’m looking forward to slow days on the road. Thank you for sharing with us, especially that lovely voice of yours.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

This was my favorite video of yours...so relaxing and enjoyable. Totally agree that if more people just left the craziness of the cities and spent quality time with and in nature's spell of beauty and serenity it would result in a better world. As a van lifer I seek places and scenic vista's like the campsite you were at to help relieve all of the tensions in having to deal with the absurdities of prices at the fuel pumps and food stores; and with inconsiderate morons on the highways. Dude, your song is awesome...love the sound of your vocals, too. Your friend on the skateboard reminds me of my friend who I drove to the top of Haleakala Crater so he could check his downhill skills. Cliff rode with speeds I couldn't manage to drive on the numerous s-turns. Awesome video!

[@NathanielWise]

thanks so much for the comment man, so happy you enjoyed this one 🙏 really glad you enjoyed the song too! and ha… those downhill skaters man, they’re crazy

[@PaulBeiser]

Wonderful, Nathanial, as always. Really enjoyed your song, words and rhythm. And of course the art of your food preparation 😀, something magical about the process the way you go about it (and film it). Enjoy your hiking and I’m guessing soon-to-be backpacking. Thanks for so many episodes recently..best, Paul

[@NathanielWise]

thanks for watching paul, and for the kind words :)

[@allisonwanderland9917]

Loved it so much I watched it 3 times. Love the thumbnail - perspective makes it look like your camper is a toy - really cool. BTW, please don’t be shy about your music! It’s so good. You should put out an album we can all by online!! 🎶 Thanks Nathaniel. And also, you should get that canoe. I can’t live without one. Game changer 🛶

[@NathanielWise]

thanks as always :) so happy you enjoyed it- it is a goal of mine to create an album someday! i’m not sure about a canoe due to mounting issues, but i may get an inflatable pack raft 🤔

[@jdleschw]

This video was soul soothing and inspiring. Your camera work and eye for color is pretty top shelf bro. Looking forward to the next installment!

So great to see you enjoying some time with friends, both old and new ⚡️ And thank you for sharing your music (it’s so good!). I’m a dancer and I love sharing live performance, but always feel awkward about video…so 🙌 for being brave and vulnerable. I just revived a ClassB and will be taking lots of shorter trips in and around California. I’ve been watching you for awhile… Thanks for all the inspiration 🌿 it really motivated me.

[@NathanielWise]

thank you for watching, and for the comment :) hope you have some lovely adventures in your new rig, i miss california

Another lovely vlog! I really enjoyed that recap, especially with the voiceover storytelling. The song you're working on sounds beautiful! You have a great voice dude. For a sec I thought one of the strangers who joined you at the end was SoftRoadingTheWest in his Navara 😆that would've been an ultimate crossover. Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome campsite. Still love the ocean views from the last video. I do the same thing on my days off. Look outside, birds are chirping sun poking out. I roll over and sleep another 2 hours. That looked like an awesome hike, glad the weather was better this time and you had friends to enjoy and hang with. You definitely need to share making mushroom tacos. My mouth was watering when I saw the plate of them. Nice job playing the guitar and singing. You are really talented glad you're pushing the comfort zone. Thanks for sharing this today. It was really great to watch!! Look forward to your next video and song!

I really hear you on appreciating nature! I was recently thanking God that I was able to spend so much time in nature as a child and praying that all kids would be able to have lots of nature experiences (adults too, of course-but it seems so critical for children). I worked as a case manager in nyc in the projects/other low-income areas at one point in my life, and the lack of nature in those places is pretty rough.

[@NathanielWise]

yeah, i often think about people that live and are stuck in cities for the most part, with no true nature even remotely close by. hope everybody can get out and experience such things some day

[@daughterofgod3721]
