Life is about constantly evolving. Don't let anyone steal your joy with negativity. I, for one, am super excited to see you guys put down some roots and create a homestead.

[@Heather_J]

[@staroceans8677]

Agreed!!!

[@karlacordon864]

Perfectly said.

[@carriew1625]

Well said!

[@peem1244]

I happily concur. Elsa and Barron have way too much intellect and imagination to remain static. Lots of people who were doing the van life thing a few years ago are now buying land and building cabins, etc. It's what we do, what we've always done. ;)

[@DingaLing575]

You're not losing your identity, you're enhancing your identity. You started with a scamp and now you're homesteading... You're evolving and not stagnant. I'm grateful that you and Barron share your lifestyle. ♥️ Cheers

[@stephanierambo1423]

Haha you're already crafting in there... awesome!! I love how Barron was like, "This office isn't for crafting" in the video where you showed "the build" lol... and we all laughed and laughed... lol 😆 🤣 💝

[@malimali264]

Haha normal time. I got it up as normal

[@shellyfahren1936]

Right!? I gave them some static on that one🤣🤣 I knew that wouldn’t last!😉

[@planningwithscotties]

Elsa, you and Barron are awesome. The Scamp is not your identity. I don't watch you to see the Scamp, I watch to see YOUR LIFE evolve. You attitude and honesty about life is so refreshing to someone my age (56) and I take examples from YOU about how to care for my body, mind, and spirit. I appreciate you and Barron! Do whatever you want to do out there whether its building a cabin, mansion or a hole. KEEP BEING YOU! I LOVE YOU BOTH :)

[@jakereiland]

Anyone calling you cookie cutter is just nuts. Your identity isn’t the scamp, they made that your identity. Keep making videos of whatever you do and we will enjoy them.

[@Vibe_with_Z]

I 100% do not find your content to be "cookie cutter". Was it fun to watch you live your lives in the Scamp? Of course! But I return each week for the beautiful souls and content that you share not the Scamp. Your shots and edits from ALL of your adventures are absolutely remarkable! I love seeing your day to day lives. Your art. Your hobbies. Your sweet fur baby. It's so fun watching you take on these new tasks and challenges and I promise that many of us are here for the long haul. 🥰

[@AngelicArtt]

Your identity is not.. tied into.. what you own, where you live, or how you live. I've been along for the ride with you guys, vicariously living through you. I have frankly LOVES every bit of it, and I cannot wait for your next chapter, and hope you take us along for the ride. ❤ happy 5 year scampaversery!!

[@colleenlee3220]

You two are NOT cookie cutter. THe way that I see it, you both wanted a "homestead" to call home base where you can do any work/repairs/unwinding from traveling from all the road traveling/make plans to go places/etc where you are gaining extra personal growth without loosing yourself. Its not like you and Barron up and chose to build a mega house on property in a metro city and giving upon your dreams. We all through different life levels. Keep having fun. Thank you very much for creating videos and sharing for I find you both to be awesome. Not to mention the scenery in ALL the videos make me happy to see along makes me remember times that I was either in or similar places.

[@KimmyLambert]

You guys will never be "cookie cutter" EVER. You do YOU and we will love to see it. Part of why I have been following you guys for so long is because its fun to watch you grow and change! I am actually hoping you become official homesteaders and build a little place with your own hands! Apparently you can use beetle kill trees in construction and you have a whole forest of it near by you! Anyway. Just stay true to yourselves and dont worry about the silly cookie cutter comment!

You are NOT cookie cutter. Human beings forget that life is not static. If we live, I mean really really live then we are always changing, evolving and growing. Don’t be sad, don’t listen to the negativity. You are creating your happy place. The scamp won’t go away, it brought you here..here is wonderful. Sometimes if we’re very lucky the HERE can be as exciting and fulfilling as being “there” 😉Looking forward to more adventures.

I really enjoy your videos, whatever you do, it is always interesting and fun! Please keep doing exactly what you feel like doing. I laughed when you were eating the liver, Elsa. My parents used to cook liver and onions and my brother and I would complain and not really eat it. So they would make it for themselves, in smaller amounts than what you guys had. Just now and then. They are healthy and both celebrated their 90th birthdays in October! I used to have a dirt bike as a kid, so I can relate to what a blast it is. You have inspired me in many ways, Elsa and Barron. Stay safe and cozy warm and enjoy every moment! Cheers!!!

[@ashleygarrett7926]

Podcast topic: Id love hear about the variables you are weighing when it comes to the types of home you may build. I'm sure there are so many things to consider when planing an off grid home, and I think it would be interesting to hear about the planning and pre-build process.

Are people never allowed to grow and morph? my goodness. dont listen to them. You two are most definatly NOT cookie cutter and its been amazing to be able to witness the journey from where you started to where you are going. always an inspiration!

[@cindyc4453]

And as for “cookie cutter”.... I personally love watching you “grow”!! I clipped an Ann Landers quote from over 30 years ago that, at my age of 59, has been my “touchstone” for years: At age 20, we worry about what everyone thinks of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they were never thinking if us in the first place!

[@judyrau5309]

Podcast ideas💡 food is always a fun topic, even just your personal likes and dislikes, (i mean a different spin than the Food is Fuel episode), fitness your way, things you’ve learned about getting along in a small space, ways you’ve grown, favorite adventures… I listen to podcasts while a clean secularly and always check to see if you have new episodes. My husbands brain is wired very similarly to Barrons, so he likes to listen to Barron breaking things down. And i like Elsas point of view. Thanks guys! 😊

[@lesliesmith7312]

I think the direction your channel is taking is a good one. I think a lot of nomad youtubers and probably others (AKA VANLIFE) have realized over the past two-ish years that even though they didn't have huge mortgage debt, and even though they were technically off the grid, they were still relying on the supply chain. To truly be stable and mostly self-sufficient you need to be able to source your own food and water, which takes land, time, and know-how. Curious to see how the next chapters in your story unfold!

[@karenwyzwmnbrown5853]

You two are so well matched whether you’re living in the scamp or an office made out of a metal container or on the road…your life will be an adventure because thats the way your brains work💚 You really don’t have to justify where you are and what you’re doing… You do you….you guys rock!

[@sarabeggs5248]

My two cents... Your courage, authenticity, and willingness to think outside the box are what keep me watching your videos. Inspiration to be different, live different and thrive. Someone who is using your experience as a guide to live in a scamp can mine your years of videos for inspiration.

[@joannegerrard9414]

Elsa, your facial expressions overlanding are hysterical. I love the content of your videos and will continue to love them no matter where life takes you and Barron as you evolve. That's what we do in life, evolve, so the next steps of 2022 will be different but still you. OMG now I am editing this post, the facial expression of beef liver..... lol

[@stefaniacasoni361]

YOUR IDENTITY IS NOT THE SCAMP!!! I didn’t even know this was your life when I first came upon your videos. My first Elsa Rae and Barron video was your first backpacking trip 💛.

And you two are living authenticity how you want to live. I think it's great you have a homestead at your young age. I just moved into a house, it's not mine and I rent. And that is only with help. I'm grateful, but I wish I was able to do it for myself like you two are doing! I am grateful to watch you two progress in the projects and how you want to live. It's funny how people (trolls most likely) comment that your not being 'on trend'. They are missing the point❤❤❤❤thank you for sharing your life with me❤👍👍

I'm so thankful you share your lives with us! What a gift!

No one stays the same forever, we all grow and evolve, that’s what makes life interesting and fun - If we didn’t it’d be pretty boring.

What I’ve always loved about the Scamp adventures is you don’t live your life for the camera. You live your life your way, with your priorities, and a camera just captures what’s there. And going forward, that ain’t gonna change. Thank you for your integrity and for being you!

[@arizonaoxendine1629]

Hell Yeah N2N Podcast!!! I would love to hear about Barrons adventures hunting maybe even have his hunting friend on as a guest. Also, would love to hear about why he chose to start hunting and using a bow to start rather than a rifle and does he plan to use both or stick to just a bow. to add to that topic does Elsa want to join in on hunts and give it a go herself? Feel free to reach out to me if you want to bounce ideas off one another? I would think most people just like to hear your prospective of why you are doing things and what drives you to do them!

[@cindyhovell2730]

The Scamp does not define your identity. It was the first step of your journey. What you do going forward will make your channel even more interesting. Your interactions between the two of you and Kamp make you very genuine. By adding in the friends and family along the way, you interject even more of your true selves. Just keep being yourselves and we will keep loving you.

[@amandas643]

I've watched the two of you become self aware. That's a really special thing to watch and observe in others. It's never ending... Reality and existence is like an onion. (The old cliches' ring true) and it just unpeels layer by layer. So do you two. 🤷🏼‍♀️ As we increase our awareness we become more uncomfortable with the noticeable division between ourselves and the image we portray. There's no right or wrong way... So no worries. An ounce of worry never paid a pound of debt. It's a brilliant journey watching you two. Cookie cutter was never in the cards for you two.

[@careenaalexis]

You guys rock as always!!! Scamp life is fricken cool as hell, but you guys are cool AF no matter what you do and people need to realize its not the scamp that makes you guys cool lol. We are also in the same stage of life right now, aiming to buy a property this year and start building our forever homestead. Making lots of Timbermates vids about it in the process, so it will be cool to hopefully be not too far behind you guys on that process! Love yas!! 😘

[@alicecain4851]

Yes. I totally agree! If you stayed the same, isn't that more cookie-cutter-esque? I've read comments like that a lot though as many of the van traveler's needed to do something else during the lock down of the pandemic. "I've seen homesteading. Since that's what your channel is about now I'm going to un-subscribe!" I've seen that or statements like it several times and I was kind of pissed by them. Am I the only one who fell in love with the content makers and was interested in their CHANGING lives? Ok. Not the ONLY one. But I found it disheartening for all of the threats of "since you're no longer exactly what I want, I'm outta there" type comments. I'm excited for any and all of the changes as you step into the next phase of your lives. Congratulations on your new office and and and all of the next things as they happen.

Couple of tips with cooking the liver, Firstly pop some slices/pieces in a bowl of milk for 20 minutes, this helps keep it tender, then have another little bowl of seasoned plain flour on hand, take each piece out of the milk and then coat in the flour and straight into a medium hot frying pan. the key is NOT to over cook it. Its ok if its a little pink in the middle and also you don't cook all the nutrients out of it. Delicious ! :) By the way you guys rock, and for what its worth I cant wait to see you guys build some cool place to live in, The Scamp will always be there for super awesome road trips x

Awesome tip about soaking the liver in milk, learnt something new! Also check out some beef liver recipes from southern India, I find that the addition of spices like turmeric and cumin makes liver a lot more palatable for first time eaters.

I have never thought of y’all’s identity to be defined by living in a scamp. I’ve thought of it as an alternative lifestyle, an eco-friendly lifestyle, a learning as you go, meeting new people, and discovering different landscapes lifestyle. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and by watching tiny house videos, even though when I build a more permanent home it will not be a scamp or tiny house (but it will still be modest). Don’t hold yourselves to others’ criteria. Be true to who you are. People are meant to evolve and do different things. Your videos will adapt along the way, and those who don’t like it no longer have to watch.

Life is always changing and adapting to new situations and adventures and anyone who wants you to stay the same is ridiculous. As an Air Force brat, I thrive on change.

[@shellyfahren1936]

And that’s what we adore about these two the most! Smart and so eager to learn and grow. You did good mom!

[@itsjubilee2012]

You will never be cookie cutter. Never focus on the negative. Live your life in a way that is authentic for you. We love you guys.

8:51 - hell yeah! All those improvements to the Subie are paying off!! I got a few trails for us next season, going to be awesome to car camp with you two at some really great high altitude spots.

[@shellyfahren1936]

And hopefully we can finally meet in a better manner than the grocery store! 😂

[@katlynstafford5287]

I have been watching your Channel for about 3-4 years. It’s so inspiring to see people go through different chapters in life and grow as human beings. Hopefully I will forever watch y’all’s journey in life for as long as you share it with us, Y’all rock 🤘🏼

[@stephanierandall94]

You're just showing how people evolve, chase dreams. You two have done so much since I found your channel.

[@SeekingDeeperHealth]

Elsa! You guys are anything but cookiecutter! You are super creative trailblazers and even more attractive is your spirit of curiosity and your inclination to share what you are learning. It is only human to grow and adapt to needs for change. I’m so glad that you have more dignity than those who just try to stay novel and entertaining here on You Tube. Those folks are sacrificing part of their humanity. Stay you. We love you.

I just enjoy the adventures, scenery, active hikes, exploring, dirt bike riding, food & drink, choice of clothes, equipment, everything!! If you decide on a homestead then I’ll watch that too. I think it’s the locations that you pick that are so beautiful to watch too. I love everything & I’ll continue to watch no matter what! Better than a movie. And I happen to love Yellowstone & I don’t think Kevin Costner knew what a great show was being created, or maybe he did & that’s the point. . I love Season 4. So anyway, I’ll support your videos 100%, Happy Anniversary & best of luck in everything you do. ❤️👍🏼

[@alishagrezlik]

I agree with all the positive comments. I have loved your channel for all these years and have learned SO much and even put things into practice because of you guys. I will def miss the scamp videos and always look forward to them because I love the camp lifestyle, but I am also SO excited to see you can stuff and live off the land, and build a house! It is a lifestyle ive been slowly trying to transition to for years so the more I can learn the better! I am excited for the new chapters and excited for you guys, so at the end of the day - you do you - because you only get one life, and you guys sure as heck are living it! also - been loving the dirtbiking - literally my favorite off road vehicle!

[@karenrogers7830]

Love your videos. Please keep them coming. Can’t wait to see y’all start your home. And of course love Camp too. Hug him tight.

[@flipzout100]

In response to the cookie cutter comment from a previous video, I'll admit that maybe my initial interest in the channel was the unique lifestyle of life in a camper, but my interest in your progression in life has taken over. In fact I routinely point out to my daughter (11) that finding and making the joys in life, like you and Barron, is truly living. Yes there are hardships, mouse poops and pack rats, but they just add to the satisfaction. Power on! I look forward to seeing the channel content progress.

[@anitahohl]

Loved you guys in the nomadic scamp life, and looking forward to your next adventures on your new land! Yellowstone was a bit too violent for me, but I seem to be the only one who thinks so, lol.

[@DD10720]

I want to reassure you Elsa that watching you guys do homesteading videos would be amazing! Also, like this video, adventure videos are great!

[@lifechanges557]

Congrats on 5 years .. You guys have come a long way.. Love your channel..

[@abigailchristina3072]

You guys are Elsa and Barron and your guys’ identity is what you guys do and wherever you guys are! I’m always so excited to see every new thing that you do! It’s just so inspirational!

[@leighannenight]

you do bring a lot of inspiration. I'm going through some major life changes, some expected and some REALLY not expected at the same time. I'm nervous and scared but also brave. I've been re-watching some of your old videos to help remind me that it's okay to be "lost in the right direction." Thanks for that :)

[@donnataylor980]

You will be in my prayers. I hope everything works out good for you! Happy holidays

[@system6195]

Your out come in life will be fine, do what makes YOU, happy everything else will fall into place.

[@thexxit]

Your identity is you! The decisions you make, the way you grow and evolve and the new adventures you take on. I think this is fabulous, watching you shape a land to what you want it to be. I know the travel won't stop, but it's nice to see this new aspect. Cookie cutter would be doing the same thing day in and day out. This is different. This is new.

[@jillom397]

Would you be able to do your podcasts and Lives from there with a diesel heater? Happy 5 yr Scampaverssary! My hat is off to you. I just had my two year vanniversary. It’s easy to be an armchair nomad, not as easy to be an actual nomad. I would have done it entirely differently if I knew then what I know now. I am looking forward to a place to land. Any kind of liver is a no for me. I did a similar thing: I meant to buy pickled sliced beets but bought sliced beets.

[@ElsaRhae]

It's such a tiny and well insulated space that we won't need the heater on long, and most likely not during the day with the sun coming in through the windows!

[@colleenkrause8226]

There is nothing cookie cutter about you two. I was raised in the country and my house is in woods . My husband and I chose the same kind of life for our kids. Keep cranking out your videos I love and learn from them.

[@kendrasmith6637]

Nice office. Wow, 5 years. So interesting for me to watch you guys. It really does look like fun! Thanks 😊

[@MB-qr9xk]

You never lost your identity, not that one should get wrapped up in that concept. From what I see, you guys try to live FREELY, and that means doing what you WANT. True freedom is also being free from ego and other people's opinions. Whoever made that comment sounds rather narrow-minded, and appears to miss the point -- I always thought the point of scamp-living, van-life, etc. was to just do what you wanted and not conform to societal expectations so much. You can't put people who live like that in boxes, which is sounds like they are doing just that! Ya'll do whatever you want, you seem like good people and so definitely have my support!
