Finally a truth seeking and telling KZbinr not glamorizing the nomadic lifestyle

[@anjichurch4406]

Ok, so I am a 58 year old retired Midwife in New Hampshire USA. I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure at 44. I have outlived the Drs projections by living a good life and using my time to learn and expand myself in my mind since my body will likely be staying put right here at home. I try to be an encouragement to others because it makes me feel good to lift others. My favorite part of your Chanel is I love to nature journal and you have a magnificent eye that lets me see things that spark my curiosity and send me on learning binges about Mushrooms and areas of the map out your way as well as animals I didn’t know much about because I am in a very different but similar are of the earth. That being said, I was also an educator as a midwife, and taught my own children at home. Teaching 4 children to read was the best insight to how our brains work and how we are each so individual. Educating women about their miraculous bodies and their abilities taught me the power and beauty of nature and the benefit of letting it lead us and direct us. Now, you know the person behind this comment a bit more…THIS WAS AWESOME! Excellent, excellent work Amanda! If I were 18 and could go back and do it again, this video was so helpful and so thought out. I loved the information, but along with the deep and experiential information the back drop of a simple day on the beach with everything you needed including a fabulous companion who you thanked….just amazing my dear! I love who you are and how you are and just want you to know the impact of your simplicity. You are a very rich woman!

Hi Anji I’m here in the mountains too (Vt) . Obviously this comment was directed to Amanda but I just wanted to say Thankyou. Your sharing was really beautiful to read and encouraging.

Half of the time you're talking and explaining things and the other half we get to see the beautiful visuals of nature, the ocean, Frank and yourself enjoying it all. For those of us who can't be in that part of the world, the visuals are greatly appreciated! 👍❤️

Hey Amanda, my elderly dog was hobbling too,I put her on treats that contained condroiton and glucosamine(that worked so well,I bought the supplements, glucosamine and condroiton), it changed her life, she stopped dragging one of her legs,and stopped hobbling.I don't know if this will help Frank, but it's definitely worth a try.

[@GreenVegan816]

The minute I see a video of yours come up I start smiling. Thoroughly enjoyed all the great info about your van life experiences. And Frank and his stick fetish! The cutest thing ever! Those big ones really get him worked up, lol.

[@_andy_gibb_]

One of the biggest compromises we make living in the city is sacrificing that natural soundscape, and it makes our days in the backcountry so precious! Plus one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much is that natural soundscape - it is so relaxing, I can put on headphones and just immerse myself in the sounds you've recorded. I love the sound of rain on our tent - despite what it means for our hiking or exploration - but I haven't got used to the sound of it on our car when we sleep in it. At home we have skylights and we do enjoy listening to the rain on those - it conjures up fond backcountry memories, and that's so valuable to our wellbeing.

I have been stealth sleeping in my minivan and living at my work and with hobbies for socialization for the past 7 years and saved bunch of money . I would say , there's no perfect lifestyle as such or perfect place . There's always pros and cons for whatever lifestyle we choose. Now, I got addicted to the freedom of spending time at various places ( States ) and also make money through gigs. I am 44 now and I'll be checking such remote places when I turn 56.

Congratulations on your 3000 days living free of the burden of paying someone else's mortgage. This was a beautiful film. Your photography has an artist's eye, and you got superb shots just by the light of your roaring fire. Your shot of the northern hemisphere night sky was stunning, free from clouds and light pollution. If your circumstances change long in the future, a house with an (insulated) tin/metal roof will keep you in touch with what's going on outside. Nothing more lovely than snuggling down while the rain is coming down heavy. My love to you and Frank for continuing to enjoy your journey together x

Just watched another of your videos. I paid out hundreds of thousands of $ on rent. While I was single, once my children became independent I travelled and camped. Those were the happiest times in my life. I began to search the nomadic life but left it too late in life. I would say to adventurous-spirited people to stop listening to naysayers and your fears to give it a try. I can’t think of anything that would rival the sights, sounds and peace you have found.
