Thanks for stopping by!Check out my biggest dispersed camping trip of 2023 here: th-cam.com/video/BYzMB0cR3IQ/w-d-xo.html
I am so glad that his son allowed him to park it there. Which will help him out a lot. Enjoy the rest of your life. You deserve it !
😊
Thank God he’s not living in a city like New York or Baltimore. The kids like to rob older people that’s why I carry pepper spray. I have “ Bear pepperspray” and “ Kid “ pepperspray.
You have a good son. Not as common these days.
Yeah not having a place to park that bad boy would be quite the issue. Especially these day's they are coming down on people who don't want to live their way unfortunately. Glad he's comfortable and has a place to call home. Everything else is gravy.
I’d be on blm if I were him or long term Rv parking ..like 200 for 6 months
Im 31 with the house and all. I have been dreaming of living a less stressful life, RV or camper... Every time I come across another video like this, I think it means I should go for it. Im young and working all the time to just pay my bills really isnt living. Its surviving!! Happy for folks like him. This is awesome!
Go for it
Get a husband 😉
Im 43 realizing the same. Work work work. All just to pay pay pay. Hoping someday to be healthy enough in retirement to actually enjoy it. Sure doesent sound like being free to me. And not the way I want to live.
Rents Going uP 👆 YearLy ....Last 4 years Says Something Like iT ? Cant* Get any Worse, it Seems about Time To Pack Down & OUT !, Oh & 40% infLATION.
I like this guy. His mindset. His scars. His gratitude for what he has.
Me too!!... he keeps saying that he is old!! He isn't that old!!
Old man packing more energy than an average 17 year old
Freaking A+ neighbor right there. Lol. He's got class. When he pulls up & docks property values go up.
I like this man. He’d be so much fun to hang out with 👍
Unfortunately you are spot on!
Unfortunately you are spot on! Our country is in deep trouble
i hope to have half that energy at that age
I’m 41 and I want to live like this now I’m tired of paying rent throwing money away or dreaming of a house where I pay mortgage 💸 ❤❤❤❤ I love this old timer he’s an inspiration ❤❤❤❤
Yeap pretty much same age as you I agree escape the rat race and start enjoying life
@ Stop the Violence. I completely agree. I am sick and tired of these inflated over the top rental prices, which make these crappy property mgrs richer.
I can't wait to go nomad.
Counting down the days of living peacefully and not being tied or held down by traditional living.
Amen 👍
You can !!!! If you look around your town. Here our home Depot ,Walmart , county park and Lowe's and cracker barrel will let you spend the night. Can't camp there. Just over night but you can go from place to place each night. Hehe we have 2 home depot's so that's cool
41???? You have a longggg way to go yet! Get a job. Or two. Or three.
Great job by this guy. Hes living on his terms and gonna be stress free on his way out the door.
He’s living a good life and enjoying himself. He’s ready to travel soon.
He's living on his son's property. If his son decides to move to Florida, then he will need a place to put his RV, and have to pay for electricity and water and worry about zoning.
@@jaybloomfield5082 party pooper!
@@jaybloomfield5082 don't worry about tomorrow's problems today.
Living on his sons terms.
A very nice RV! I laughed when he said “It never leaked until I bought it!” 😀
That was a funny story. Bud, he’s a handy guy so no problems fixing it up.
Whatever happens to this guy, I hope he is happy and lives a long life.
My parents did this a few years ago..sold there house durring the height of covid and now travel around to free/cheap RV sites..one of them being my driveway. They love it and chose to do this.
There are no free RV sites in the USA.
@@karlabritfeld7104 if a RV site to you is full hook ups?
@@karlabritfeld7104 Yes, there are free RV sites. There is millions of acres of BLM land (bureau of land management) across the US that you can camp for free with your RV.
@@karlabritfeld7104 Plenty of land to boondock on FREE! Educate yourself!
I wholeheartedly wish him the best, seems like he's living his best worry free life👏👏👏.
Absolutely. He's living his best life!
I wish pop's would have showed us how da shower work he may have it hooked up to his son house
@@wildestcowboy2668WHY DOES IT MATTER IF he's HOOK UP TO his SON'S PROPERTY? PLUS, he SAID THATS he HAS TO GO DUMP his TANKS & CAMPGROUNDS HAVES DUMP STATIONS THAT ARE USUALLY PRETTY CHEAP TO DUMP THERES
I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THE RV IS RATED FOR 4 SEASONS & HOW WELL IS IT IN THE WINTER TIME?? ALSO THAT IS A GREAT RV TOO ! I WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO ADDS A SMALL WOOD STOVE TO IT TOO !?
@@Tammy121111 wasn't being a smart AZZ I been thinkin bout gettin a camper and I was just be wanting to see how his work Tam
I wish he would realize that this isn’t “not much”. It seems to make him happy and has helped him find peace. A win is a win 🙏🏼
I think he does realize. He is doing what he wants on his own terms.
A win is a win ❤
Nice home has everything he needs. Thanks for the tour.
He’s setup pretty nice in there.
73 is not old! It’s a very nice RV and for “a single old man” he sure does keep it nice! I know he said it was a mess but compared to my exhusband his home is sparkling clean 😜
Cheers
I’ve known him a while and he’s always clean. Great to talk to also.
73? Looks much younger
This dude is awesome...he's playing Fallout...that ain't no game for a feeble minded "old man"....he's SHARP....
They nothing about 73 young
Yes, 73 is old. What are you talking about? LOL!
this dude is hilarious!! needs his own channel or tv show lol. thx for the content
Thanks for stopping in!
Yo for real this guy needs to make content!!
He said with COPD, he knows what's going to kill him. Funny, but not funny.
Agreed!
If you haven't noticed he has a channel your on it.
When I watch these, I don't know if I like the vehicles and the lifestyle more or the owners. Beautiful people.
From one retired brother to another I must say you are doing what you want to do and that is not spend what you do not have. Good job buddy!
He did good with it!
Profoundly inspirational ! There's a little bit of all of us, within that "old fellow". Happy he's with his son, what a blessing !!
They’re old friends of mine, and they get along great! This is a series of interviews I’ve done over the years with folks living alternative lives. You can see some of the other stories on my channel.
I have worked for 50 years to realize that he has all that I need.
This Safari is real nice. Looks like metal side wall and probably metal roof too. You just don't see RVs made like this anymore.
😂😂 This guy is a hoot! I wish him the best! So glad his son had property to put this great rig on.
I love this so much! I hope he enjoys the rest of his years and gets to do everything he wishes to!
You Sir are a breath of fresh air! No self agrandizing monolog just down to earth keeping it real! I'm a vet also - 79 and traveling the country I wish you the very best!
Loved his honest personality.
His rig is awesome looking
and so nice and neat with all
the necessities one needs to
live comfortably. Enjoy. 🌻🇺🇸
He’s a great guy to chat with. Down to earth and always nice.
Love it and way to go 1m miles 🙌🏾. He’s an adorable young man and love his survival mentality.
I have a great deal of respect for you sir. You have taken advantage of all of your options and are living your life the way you want. Your humble persona and humility is the biggest lesson here. Our younger generation today needs to learn this. Be well brother.
I read a lot of the “younger generation” are already trying to do this. Maybe the internet has made us wiser
God Bless him. I'll might be in the same situation at that age myself
He’s a great man. Good luck and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
God bless this Man and the camera man too,i live in a 36 feet fifth wheel,and it has everything i need.Dont need nothing more.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us I think it’s wonderful that you’ve fought outside the box and bought yourself a comfortable home on wheels why not. God bless you and all the best for 2023. Kind regards Ashleigh
Hi Ashley, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ll pass your message along to him.
I think as time goes on, more people will be turning to RV living. it's the only alternative
i live in charlotte NC,,,,affordable housing is a major problem here
Still need land to park
Not the "only" but definitely a viable one...
the people that run the system behind the scenes have made laws, regulations and codes to ensure no one will ever be free in this part of this world because you cannot park it anywhere without getting fined and towed in most cities unless you are in the remote countryside towns which bring other challenges
I live in b.c. canada me and my family live in a 40 ft trailer only reasonable way to live here rent is 2500 1 bedroom apt
I am getting ready to do the same exact thing as this guy. I am currently paying off a 1991 Fleetwood Flair 22 Foot Class A Motorhome that is powered by a 460 Ford, with only 18,000 miles, and it also has a 4,000 Watt Onan Generator with only 79 hours run time on the clock. It has a 50 gallon fresh water tank, black and grey tanks each hold 37 gallons as does the fuel tank. The Generator gets it's gas from the main gas tank. It has a Propane Fired Furnace, and Stove, which has 4 burners, and an oven. It also has a microwave, and I have a dual tray hot air fryer that I will be adding to the kitchen. It sleeps 6, but it's only gonna be me, and my Cat. The full price I am paying for the Unit is $2500.00.
No different than a nice manufactured home!! Beautiful 💜
Plus, it has wheels!
Except, manufactured homes tend to be physically attached to a specific land lot, whereas RVs, travel trailers and cabin cruisers are portable.
@@jackesioto You don't say!
Very nice motorhome, hope he enjoys his life and thanks to him for his service!
Thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts.
Appreciate this man's service🙌🏻
Tag registration every year is taxes. The diesel is taxed. If you own or buy anything, you will always pay taxes.
Pops Is Doing Well , God Bless Him and his independence.
The really expensive part, for those who do not have land available, is if you have to pay for parking , and fuel now days. Many full time RV parks will charge several hundred dollars per month, so you still have a monthly payment if you go this year round route. This situation is nice for him, but not common for full time RV owners.
That monthly rent is typically going to be cheaper than paying property taxes and insurance on a home in the same area as the RV park. And no home, yard, pool maintenace or HOA fees. That's a win.
Ive seen up to 1000$ a month for rv parking
@@chillwill5080 It can even be cheaper than renting an apartment or house! Especially if you don't need or want much in terms of space, amenities, etc.
@@chillwill5080 Only idiots join HOAs. Most people pay zero HOA fees. And most people don't have a pool.
Don't let the town find out they'll want a piece too
I Love this man! God bless him! A True OG!!!
He's living his best life.
I second that. I bet I could chat with him for hours.
What a beautiful way to keep your life in this old age..
Love your attitude man. Can't see anything stopping you anytime soon
He’s always been a great guy to talk with.
God bless you and your journey.
Living his best life. Love this guy.
What more do you need?? Absolutely beautiful. My plans are to live off grid where I can live in peace. I grew up in a small town of Gulfport Mississippi and I've always been interested in having the camping life. Having this life you can visit all points of the country and have stories to tell your children/grandchildren about how you've been to every part of the country
DUDE, I AM A 63 YEAR OLD BROAD IN GOOD SHAPE. JUST BOUGHT A 35 MH. HOPING TO GET THE HELL OUT OF OHIO BUT THINGS ARE DIRE. GOOD LUCK BUDDY. MANY PRAYERS, AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
If local codes and ordinances allow him to live in the RV on private property. more power to him. Do an update in a year or so, to see it then.
That spot doesn’t have any local restrictions. I’ll definitely check in on him next time I travel that way.
His son is the saving grace. An affordable place to park in a safe area is the bane of low income RV living. In Florida, where RVers were allowed to park along the rivers, concrete barriers are in place. The cheapest RV parks are being bought out by high end RV parks (KOA).
Hey brother, code enforcement only has the power you give him. He's your servant, and 99.9% of the ordinances they try to enforce are unconstitutional, I had a friend live on the back 40 of my place in his rv, he ran into some hard times, got a divorce and Lost his home. He and his young son lived out there for a couple years, till he got on his feet. It was pretty nice, had electricity and everything. Well, wasn't long before the code enforcement guy came trespassing on my land and found out they were back there. He tried to scare me, threatening me with this and that..... but, with a registered letter of the facts, being, I own the property and consider it private and if he ever even looked at me cross eyed again, I'd light him up with a Title 18 lawsuit so fast his head would swim. Guess that was enough to send him packing, haven't heard from him since. So, yeah, don't let any little government commie tell you what to do, they are your servants, not your masters. Seems more and more lately the blood suckered try and find more ways to extort the people....any way, don't be afraid of them leeches!
Areas without kilotons of zoning, building codes, etc are quite hard to find in the USA these days!
@@arthursmith3401 haha that's an awesome story! I hope it's true, I can't stand municipalities telling folks what they can and can't do on their private property. Especially trespassing to scout it out would piss me right off.
I'm getting ready to start the same journey. I have a 29' tag along camper I'll be staying in. It sets at a camp ground year round so far. My journey starts hopefully this April. Enjoy the ride. I just shut down my trucking company due to heart surgery I just went through. Decided it's time to retire at 65.
Live the dream😎
What a wonderful home! I love it! What a smart man you are! God Bless you!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
What a great guy! Who is this? Hope he's living his best life right now.
Great job brother nice rv I love the older ones , I live now 5 years in my Diesel tradewinds and love it wouldn't change it for nothing get tired I start it up and change my view!
Looks pretty cozy.
He has a great setup!
He is so funny and humble. He reminds me of my old friend. A lot alike.
This is what men do . . . Absolutely beautiful 👏👏 👏 we will “always “ survive . .
This guy reminds me of the character Howard, played by Walter Huston in The Treasure of The Sierra Madre. I bet he's got a million entertaiing stories to tell from what sounds like a really varied life. I'd certainly love to hear more from him. Plus we need more free spirits in this increasingly regimented world. Hope he keeps on truckin' for another million miles!
nice see sweet guy an he's thinking Abt it all retirement money bills an freedom I wish u best in all u do
Nicely done. He's happy and comfortable.
I guess he doesn’t realize the Rv/ van/ tiny house on wheels movement is exploding!!! He’s living many young peoples dream… mine too! I love full time in my Rv and have no regrets… I do travel in mine though…
I'm just getting ready to turn 40 this summer, and I've been dreaming of retiring to an RV life since I was in my 20s! I love it, and hope to be doing the same at some point.
Howdy. 👋
You are one helluva man. And. Thank you for your service 🙏. The apology you made for the clutter was not necessary. Clutter away. As long as you are comfortable. I gotta tell ya, your house looks so comfortable. What an amazing video. Thank you for sharing. I'm gonna watch this video a couple of times.
Bye, ya'all 👋
Hi Curtis, I’ll pass your message along to him. Do you have any plans with an RV?
@OffGridAdventure
Not yet. In do time. I've been doing full-time van life for a year and 9 months. With no home base but a place to go and stay. Thanks to my wonderful sister ❤️. I was raised on vacationing in a travel trailer. My Grandfather has had Motorhomes all my life. But is gone now and so are all the good ole days. Haven't done any traveling in a TT or RV in a very long time. I want to learn a lot more about full-time before I make that decision. I'm 60 yrs. old, I'm gonna say in about 5 yrs. I should be RVing. Thanks for asking.
Bye for now 👋
Love this guy! Could listen to him all day.
Guy sounds like a fun person to be around. Grandkids must love him. I’m glad he’s happy.
It's great. Your own private home & I love the decor it's fun, happy, warm & welcoming. Just find Radar Love playing on the radio.
This guy is so happy, humble and wholesome ❤wish him all the best he has a nice ride
I’m actually looking into it.
Hi Linda. Good luck and enjoy if you do it.
This man is wise. Subscribed.
I like this guys easy going attitude that’s the best way to be . Wish him all the very best
Retired Veterans Administration VSR. I used to be one of the people who either approved or disapproved DD 214 upgrades. I would advise you to try again to get a discharge upgrade through the VA. A lot of times it doesn't happen the first time but if you are diligent you could end up getting an upgrade so you can at least get medical benefits. If you have not used DAV or another organization like them in your efforts for the upgrade, then I highly recommend you do so. They can be a big help in your quest. Enjoyed your content. Good luck to you.
Your doing great and it's a much simpler life and less stress and financial worries. We own a Safari motor home too and we were on the road for a year and a half traveling across country. It is for sure a home and we wish you the very best. It's great to be able to pick up and go wherever you want and all your stuff is with you. Have a great life!
God bless and keep you sir!! Praying that the Father will give you long life and heal you from COPD. Go back to the VA and get what is rightfully yours. You served our country and they should serve you for doing so! Blessings!!
he said he got put out of the service ' under less than honorable conditions'. So he wouldnt qualify.
Yes, Amen. I'll pray for him also.
Good for him. He is living the live he finally imagined. He worked all of his life and deserves to retire in peace.
Gotta hand it to the guy, he cut the cord on all the useless things that burden so many. He figured things out nicely for himself and has my respect.
You are amazing. Enjoy life!!!!!
He’s a down to earth man. Nice to talk to.
I love it……that’s a home.
I was surprised how big it is inside. I’m used to the smaller van builds.
NICE RIG!!!
Good life!!
He live life like he wanted to trying to do the right thing, and now he just living free! That's the life!
Smart move. Nice rig ! It beats the high cost rent ect . In My area some places are going for $1,200 depending rent wise . Personally for that price you could probably get a RV & own it & fix it up the way you want.
This is one of the best videos I have ever ever seen pleasant voice. Ty
Great home man. I'm 57 and living in my semi and I love it. Enjoy ur freedom
Its good and all if you have a place to park it. Most people wouldnt have a place to put one so its not an option.
This is true. There are a few spots out west where you could park for free or low cost.
That's correct. If his son decides to sell the house and move to Florida, then his life will not be so carefree.
I’m going to do my retirement in an rv in 8 years👍🏻
My brother asked me what kind of motor home to buy. I told him to get a pusher model. He did 10 years ago and has been a nomad ever since. He follows the weather. Footloose and fancy free!
Hello , living in a trailer is the best when you’re trailer is great at protecting you from the elements , the rain and thunder at night helps me sleep while I’m warm and dry , and when the wolves howl my door is locked and I feel safe , if the cold snow blows my heater is fired up , and I can always bake or cook in my trailers kitchen all year round, thank kindly all the best to you have an awesome day 😊
I agree wholeheartedly ! I'm dealing with the same dilemma and thinking about doing this !
Such a lively old man
Thanks for your service to our country! My service was at home with a Fire Department for 20 years.
He seems like a Sweet Guy! He's not old!
Dude is so badass
Best wishes to him. The key is to keep expenses down. Boondock everywhere you can to save on RV camp fees. Helps with gas costs and eat in the RV also. Keep going!
Freedom. We have been living in 40 ft rig as well. We pay pad rent right now. Eventually we will upgrade to be rent free. Live in roads that we paid for. Rents are ridiculously high now. Freedom in RV life. Enjoy your retirement. Freedom is priceless.
Man, I know some free camping in WA where you can be alone as can be, with a driveway like a jeep trail that runs through the Douglass Fir forest, which makes a nice walk in the mornings or evenings. Then you can tend fire and listen to the wind come through the tree tops. First your hear it coming, and then in about 30 seconds it will come to your tree tops and get calm again, beautiful overcast mornings that turns to clear blue sky which is the norm on Summer days. Listen to the sounds of the forest. It's beautiful. You can be all alone out there, and stay for a couple of weeks. It's like having your own paradise. It's national forest land and it is beautiful. Peaceful. If you had a scooter with you, you can go out and explore some primitive roads and trails, or blacktop if you prefer and scout around for other places to camp. Your list of things to do that day can be short as can be. Gather firewood. That's about it.
Just found you,love your new life,,u seem so happy,,you are a hoot sir,,keep on livin the life,,God bless you
Nice home! You're going to do all right!
Hi Linda, he did pretty decent with it.
Love the lay out. A shoe holder(fabric), hung on the wall will Tame those wild bottles on the bathroom counter!
I've lived in my converted campervan for 6 years and it's the best decision I have ever made
Good for You Bro!! Keep on pluggin 👍
Living a realistic reality. I love it. I'll be right there with ya someday. Love the set up. Don't know if I'll ever be able to afford something that big. But I like how you did it.
Good for you. You are blessed. Be happy, that is all that matters, you have what you need. That is Great! God bless you , you did the right thing. You are safe and have everything you need.
Good on you nothing wrong in living the way you do and you look happy 👍👍
YOU ARE A GENIUS Sir 🙏🏼
He’s doing it right for sure.
Congratulations on your million miles and your own new found freedom …. My husband and I and our dog Mako live in our 350 square foot travel trailer! We love the beach so we took our Sienna van to Edisto Beach and camped! Good lick on your new adventures …
Hi Nancy, it sounds like you have had some great experiences with your Sienna. Do you have any more big hikes planned this year?
@@OffGridAdventure good morning 😊no huge hikes planned for this year just lots of fun hikes in the woods with my dog Mako😊😊we live in such a wonderful spot the lake and the mountains. How about you what fun plans do you have?
That locking refrigerator is what I need for my diet.😁
