WORK CAMPING: 2024 Working Camping Season ... 6 Fired and New Winter Plans

In one short month things have changed in our work camping location ... some of the employees have lost their minds. Now it looks like Cindy may have to have a complete hip replacement, which means no winter job.

I'm so sorry to hear this Alec! I'll be praying for Cindy and yourself. I will pray for a much quicker recovery. Life is always throwing us curveballs. I love seeing the snow flakes in the background. Try posting more videos a week. Not 10 videos a day but one a day as I do think that helps to keep views up and get new subscribers. xoxo

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

It's always good to hear from you. We have been posting more shorts and that has helped with getting subs. We have thought about making more videos ... but don't want to be Tim. We have thought about short daily blogs but don't want to wear out our subscribers. Thanks for all the good ideas!

[@BlindViews]

Man, that is a lot going on. My 2 cents on KZbin... If you treat it like a hobby that you can make a few extra bucks doing, it works. Once you make it a job, you get burnt out and find it takes far more time and work than a job, for little return. Not to mention, you never know how much you will make financially. Really hard to budget. But as always, you don't have to agree with me, but that's the way I see it. LOL

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thanks for the sound advice ...

[@rickgriffith1]

Our hearts go out to Cindy! It saddens us to see her in pain and no jolly laughs like usual. I can personally relate to her pain since I’ve had both my hips replaced years back. God bless.👍🏼😎

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you for your kind words ... as the weather warms up, I think her hip will improve some

[@FeMiNem-Poet]

Blessings and Prayers for you and Cindy.🦋🙏💙🦋

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you so much

Just found your channel and enjoy your content and subscribed. will be going back and watching previous episodes.

Thank you very much ... welcome to the channel!

[@BobVance-VanceRefrigeration]

Good help is even harder to find. I bet they’re grateful to have you there. Best wishes for Cindy.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

You are right about good help. They have already asked us to come back next summer.

[@Luv2Bhitched]

Prayers for you both. Wish we were retired we would apply to workcamp for you. You guys have inspired us to look forward to workcamping when we retire. God speed.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thanks for the prayers and there will be plenty of jobs available when you decide.

[@mikendebbie]

We like your plans for the future. Sorry to hear about Cindy’s hip. My sister (66) just had her hip replaced in Houston last week. My other sister is there helping her. The other sister is now 64 and she had the old-school hip replacement 20 yrs ago with a four month recovery. She says hip surgery AIN’T what it used to be. She says the new hip surgery is day surgery with a 3 week recovery. I will let you know. Don’t change your plans though…you know - plan for the worst - hope for the best!

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thanks for the kind words. We have our fingers crossed 🤞 for a quick recovery.

[@MarthaSharpe-gg9zz]

Wishing you the best of luck on your workkamping. Seasons can be hard. Tell Cindy we will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you Martha ... Cindy we have always appreciated y'all friendship!

[@janieberks3201]

Prayers for you both! God will take care of you both. Faith and trust in him!

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you so much

[@earnestburditt9867]

My go to is Lidocaine for my back, knee, and other hip. I've had one hip and one knee already replaced. Weather and over use causes my three above places to hurt. Lidocaine for me works within an hour.. I mainly use the cream, it's more easy used. Patches if pain is a lot. I cut the patch to fit to minimize how much I use. Hope this help Cindy. I use Wal-Mart Equate brand. Not very expensive. It gets rid of about80% of my pain. My arthritis doctor also say eating beef can cause joint discomfort.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

We did not know about the beef thing. Is Lidocaine a OTC or prescription based product?

[@kimmoore9862]

Prayers that the pain eases up for her!!

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you so much!

[@feliciacooper6263]

Poor Cindy!!😢 Hip pain is soooo deep and it’s like nothing relieves it. She may need to ask her doc to refer her to someone in Montana for a cortisone shot to help her until she can be seen. 🙏🏼

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Great idea ... thanks!

[@davidpearson2581]

Sorry to hear about Cindy's health challenges. Starting a KZbin channel sounds like a fantastic idea! Just be sure to keep the content positive and steer clear of any negative remarks about other channels. Perhaps I'll see you both on the road, as my home base is in South Carolina.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

We will be back o Columbia in October. Thanks for stopping by.

[@freedomdove]

Dang! I'm sorry to hear Cindy is in so much pain. Hopefully it doesn't last long. I know the weather makes me hurt, too. My mom had a hip replacement when she was in her 50s. It's no fun at all. Praying for relief for Cindy. 🙏🙏

You tube creating isn't only about the money. It is a way to interact with people and make you use your brain giving you a chance to think about other things you enjoy. My you tube is a hobby we enjoy and it isn't easy to learn. Keep moving forward.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Well said! Thanks!

[@michellelazurstudios2]

Thinking of and praying for Cindy's health and recovery. I'd give just about anything to come and work at Yellowstone. And I love snow and cold. But I have to be in PA for my son's wedding end of August so I'm trying to stay local until then. But I'll put in for next summer for sure. Praying for you guys and I hope your channel skyrockets.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

You should apply for next year. Tha ks for the prayers

[@forgodsglory8407]

[@user-lb5um5cg9g]

Praying for you and Cindy. If the doctor is that busy perhaps you might want to set up appointments before you get there and that would probably help eliminate some stress. You know your Dad and I will do anything we can to help you guys. Just keep us in the loop. Love you both.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thanks Mom! Good luck with your doctors appointment Tuesday!

[@karenfromil]

My prayers are with you both. The season there seems to be a disappointed one. Hopefully things will improve soon. My heart goes out to you both. Cindy, I hope that pain gets better for you. I feel so bad for you. Alec, try not stress to much. I know easier said than done but that stress isn't good for you. You have to stay strong for the both of you. Sending prayers and hugs to you both. ❤

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Cindy is strong, and now that I have a plan worked out ... I can move forward. Actually ... we are enjoying the season ... we have several groups of friends here ... so that makes it much more enjoyable.

Sorry to hear about your son. Cindy, hang in there. We're still waiting on the shop to finish work on our camper. I'm recovering from foot surgery had to have a couple of toes removed. And the wife is just now starting to train someone to take over her old job. This is the second person to try it. You just can't find people that want to work anymore. Hang in there. We are hoping to start camping in the fall.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you for your kind words. Hope your foot recovery goes well so you can enjoy your camper soon.

[@earnestburditt9867]

On the negative posts against you. You guys are Great..... I enjoy your content, there are always people who make it their life mission to get a rise out of someone. You as a police officer knows that, so delete and block that person. I'm praying for you guys, keep the faith. Not sure if your doctor can order the X-Ray he needs to do the surgery where your at, but if he can maybe he can do the surgery when you get home, instead I Of the following year. A doctor where your at might work with you dr. Again stay positive. Saying ( if you want to make God Laugh, tell him your plans) Have a Great and Blessed life.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

I agree about the negative people ... originally, we left the post up, but eventually, we did delete most of them. Like our son says ... a hater is going g to hate. Cindy had x-rays done when she went to the doctor in our hometown and confirmed the hip is about worn out ... but Cindy opted to wait. You are right ... and I think God does fund it funny when we think we can control the situation. Thanks for the kind words.

[@carolmaplesden916]

You guys are troopers First time seeing this channel but you guys seems to have strong spirits 🎉🎉 Good for you not letting the enemy over come you!!! I am interested in this kind of work I have a few obligations I have to take care of first I am going to check out some more of your videos to get some better ideas Maybe you could have some pointers for me to get started God bless and I will say a prayer for you and your wife tonight

Thank you for sharing your journey. My wife and I really enjoy your content. I hope this will encourage you. My youtube income increased steadily up to 10k subs, afterwitch the $$$ has accelerated rapidly. It took me almost 4-years to go from 1,400 subs to 10k. Looking back I'd say the journey was well worth it. I hope you two can hang in there and receive your reward. You're doing great, just keep uploading. All the best!

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you very much. You are very encouraging!

[@SandiDodson]

Still love your channel. We'll be praying for you and Cindy. Information on trip planning and sites that would be easy to group together for a 2 or 3 week trip would be interesting to me. Also, I think content about Sarasota Tim would just send people to his channel to watch. I watched about half of one of his....talked a lot about nothing. Didn't even finish the video. Praying for healing.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

Thank you for watching and the kind words. Yes prayers for Cindy's hip are needed. Stay safe. Did you see the video Cindy did in Allstays? That is the app we use when planning trips and stops.

[@SandiDodson]

@@SHARINGJOURNEY Yes, I did watch Cindy explain Allstays. Great info. Are there other apps that you use when planning trips? I've heard some people recommend memberships like Harvest Host, etc. Do you have memberships like that? Do you think that they are necessary? We are just beginning to look for an RV. We know nothing...lol. From GA. Would love to travel out west.

[@SHARINGJOURNEY]

@SandiDodson we dint currently have any other apps ... we where members of Harvest Host and Passport America and decided that they were not for us .... All the PA parks that we used seemed run down and the HH locations were just to far off the roads we were traveling. We might try them again ... I understand both memberships have made improvements or additions.

Sorry to hear about your issues but unfortunately that’s life. Recovery of those types of surgeries are pretty quick nowadays. Crazy to hear on the weather pattern for June and crazier to hear about the other workers. Y’all take care sounds like your family is a good support group.

Staff can be a blessing or a curse - they are all as God made 'em and sometimes much worse... Good luck and don't burn yourselves out! Pulling for Cindy - not fun, but at least it's a known and a, relatively, common procedure now-a-days. Getting old(er) does have its drawbacks (as well as definite pluses) indeed! Keep your chin up - Life happens, and it truly is a rollercoaster.

Thanks ... yes, hip replacement surgery is getting to be more common, and I understand the percedure has improved a lot since Cindy had her other hip done.
