I followed Bob's advice and it was exactly how he said it would work, campground host. Great advice! Thank you, Bob!

[@boiyotarapkossiom2554]

You are a good man, wow all that nice information for free. God bless you

[@dlmac5935]

Bob, your generosity with your experiences, your honesty and sincerity is unmatched! There are other nomads on KZbin, but only a select few are as genuine, sincere and as giving as you. I so appreciate the inspiration and insight you provide all of us and hope one day I have the privilege of meeting you in person. Happy trails!

This is my favorite channel so much info. I'm a ,61 year old single female really thinking of spending my last year's on the road, great great info thank you.

[@nightbirdflying7918]

I choose that too. This has been my plan. Work six months, travel six months. Definitely want a remote campground. I don't drink either, but breaking bread with other campers sounds nice.

[@1gratefuldaze323]

hey my name is Tommy,my wife and I just found your channel and man are we grateful, we are both 45 yrs old I'm a broke down union ironworker and my wife is a 20 yrs special ed teacher.we are in the process of selling our house and belongings, and changing our life style for all the reasons you mention in your videos that I could right a page on .thank you so much and we look forward to corresponding with you and your tips thanks,this is a good day your videos give us hope.

[@KaterinaStClaire]

Your wife can always be an emergency substitute teacher or if you want to become a certified substitute, pay some money and usually get fingerprinted. NV has a shortage. Great winter temperatures in southern area. Good Luck! My dad, ex-husband and brother in law were iron workers!

no, its really not.. work more, spend nothing on junk or"things", save, cut out rent with this kind of move in your life. its very easy.. most jobs pay at least 10 bucks an hour. anyone can get ahead on that, if they plan their life correctly, and let go of"things"

Wow! Im in Central Oregon, been here since I left Alaskan Bush in 95. Lived right outside Denali and worked that area in summers. Love this area, got a rec site on river in LaPine so I had a place to park tiny house, then into van to live full time. The rat race was never for me, started my SS at 62 but always worked a minimal amount and live frugally as a minimalist. Thank you for all your videos, they are so inspiring and helpful.

Most city folks don't see things like that. In my area, we have an invasive beetle that's destroying all of the evergreens. Makes me a lot of money.

Thank you SO very much for sharing this info! The nomadic lifestyle can have a long, high learning curve if you go it alone. Learning from others who have lived and are living it is really the only way to get the tips, tricks and info for surviving on the road. Thanks again Bob for being a hell of a good guy! 👍🏼 🚐💨

I am so happy I have found your videos! You have really set my mind at ease, and actually gotten me super excited about getting on the road! Thank you sooooo much!

[@SandiHooper]

We just retired, we're still pretty young. We've talked about doing this for 10 years--can't wait to share this video with my darling husband. Fingers crossed, this will be our summer. Don't know about sugar beet harvest--I HATE being cold. Thanks Bob. I love seeing how much you're enjoying Sisters, Oregon.

[@RioAbajoBelen]

Bob, As always...GREAT JOB. Wonderful video and so informative in such a short period of time. You are doing one heck of a job for the nomad and potential nomad community. Every night, I like to stretch before bed and I always check out your channel for a video or two. And I really look forward to seeing what you post. Thanks for the ideas and insight. Doug

[@WendyWilliamsLiving]

You always give such candid and refreshingly honest information, Bob. Thank you!

[@2012spacetraveler]

one of my first real jobs was the summer when I was 16 working a conservation camp ground here in Canada. I had a blast and when you mentioned the washrooms I laughed. You are right about that. I have always found then and since the women's washroom was always the worse. Man you caused me to bring back memories I haven't thought about most likely in 20 years or more.... good times...

[@evatheDIVA8]

Bob you are great. I always learn so much from your videos. My goal is living in a truck camper, and your channel is one of the few that I actually get a good feel of how people make it work. Thank you!

[@Lou.B]

GREAT STUFF Bob! Thanks for all your work and guidance!

[@nicolekiogima7959]

Thank you so much for sharing your videos and your knowledge of living nomad. I've been wanting to do this for over a year now. I came across your videos yesterday. I'm hooked now

[@garypalmer692]

I spent 1982 to 2018 working 3 months a year and taking 9 months off. I work June, July and August then take September to May off. I work as a chef/cook or other forms of food service. The catch is I do not own a car, RV or any motor vehicles, I ride a bicycle to and from, from WY, pr another northern states ( I have worked in many states in summer. Then I bike south to southern Arizona and spend time enjoying the sun, like another summer to me around Tucson. Then in the spring I bike back north and work another summer. I live on about $5000 a year for places to live in the north and in the south and for food along the way. Only two bills do I have food and shelter. My tent is my shelter 6 months a year and indoors the other six months.

[@xanderlander8989]

I just need to say, this video series is really helpful. I can't believe it only has 115k views, should be millions. Great, real info about how to get started.
