      People give thumbs down, because they hate their own lives, themselves, are jealous, or just simply, try to find negativity in what others accomplish for themselves. This guy, plus the growing, many others, lives as independently as possible. Closer to nature than the majority of others do. He's living an adventure and enjoying it while he is on this planet. You just have to ignore the negative people. It's unfortunate, but there are so many that exist. Good for this adventure man! I think it's admirable the way he chooses to live!!

    I’ve been watching you for a couple years now. A couple of years ago I bought a school bus an I’m turning it into a skoolie. And I really hope that we run into each other on the road. It will probably be a couple more years but I’m going to do it. Actually I’ve been watching videos of all you guys out there for 5 or 6 years. I’m 63 years old and I plan on being out there by the time I’m 65. Wish me luck. I envy you for your life. I wish I would have done this before now.

    I could smell the needles through the screen. How beautiful, the music really adds to it. I literally started crying, my husband and I were supposed to drive out to California from here in NH in September to travel around for 3 months camping out, hiking, etc. I had the places, routes etc all set, the list was made, and we were just about to start purchasing stuff when the virus changed all that. Now with the world upside down we are putting our plans on hold. Im so saddened and seeing these videos makes me look forward to the day we can go. These videos are so nicely done, thank you.

    The log in the stream & also large rocks are put in to streams like that to build backup washed out areas. The US Forest Service probably did that, back in the early 90's I did a lot of that in Eastern Oregon.
