I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 10+ years. I am a photographer and forager. We enjoy hiking, camping, paddle boarding, climbing and being outside as much as we can. We have countless stories and lessons to share and are always trying to learn new skills and improve in many aspects of life. Thank you for coming along.

“I don’t live anywhere, but I actually live everywhere.” I love that!
YES!! Amanda and Frank live my dream life!💚
Ya cool quote…
The sound of dry wood
The glow of a burning fire
The warmth of friendship
I would like to see your older footage of Haida Gwaii. All the best to everyone, but especially Sweet Frank.
Me also 💯
Manuka honey is an amazing healing modality! You are SO smart about his care!
Thank you, we have a really good team of professionals helping us and they seem extra helpful because they see how much I’m trying to help Frank.
Hi!! I’m Jenna from Arkansas! I bought a van after 10 years of dreaming of the open road. I wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to pursue my dreams instead of waiting. Live the dream. ❤
Many happy trails in your new van, Jenna.👍
I'm happy for you. I hope it's everything you wanted!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I hope you have a great time and learn so much.
Hey Frank, we are sending you good vibes and healing energy from Tlaxcala Mexico....love Josh y Nena...just a couple of Mexicano street dogs who rescued our mummy
Anyone being judgmental about her treatment of Frank needs to take a step back and rethink their priorities. They have no idea how much she gives to this dog and has kept it healthy for years. Armchair quarterbacks who think they know everything and are judgmental, should go watch videos of paint drying. This is real life and Amanda is the best dog mom for Frank. For those of us who have been watching for years, we can testify to that.
🫶🏻 I appreciate you
I would definitely love to see the old footage. Thanks for making beautiful videos.
Frank has the best life and you're such a wonderful dog mom! You have the best channel on TH-cam! 🥰
Totally agree 🐾🐾💚
Good vibes abound ☮️
Thank you, I appreciate it 🙏🏼
I so enjoy your TH-cam videos the sharing of your life with Frank is wonderful. When I see that you have posted a video my heart responds with joy. Thank you for that Amanda and thank you for sharing Frank with us also❣️
Yes, a comparison video would be great!
Thank you for talking about how fortunate it is to have your pet long enough to see it into old age. Made me cry, but tears of joy I think. 🐾🐾💚
Thank you 🙏🏼 focusing on how lucky I am he got to grow old makes it much easier to face the hard parts of him growing old.
Frank is a blessed dog to have you as His companion just as you know you are blessed to have Frank as your companion. Such love is a beautiful gift..❤
Get those whistles for the front of your van. It works to keep the deer away from your car. I have them on my van
I have no idea what you’re talking about but it sounds interesting so I’m gonna look into it, thank you!
When you do look it up look up deer whistles @@tidelinetoalpine
@@tidelinetoalpine When you find them, will you share the info. I've heard of them but haven't ever seen them for sale
100% we have them on our cars and the deer just stand and watch. They are Bell brand, ultrasonic and easily stick on the front of your bumper. I've seen them on hoods too. Got them at Canadian Tire
The best way to avoid anything including the critters is to not focus on them😮 the law of attraction is real and true and critters are one of the easiest things to manifest out of fear😮 I want manifested a thousand hobo spiders 30 ft from my door😮
We’re here for you! Because you are good at being yourself on TH-cam! Please pay no mind (block/ mute) anyone who is not paying attention to how excellent you are at your job! And responsibilities! We love the TH-cam side of you! We are literally your “followers” and we are lucky to be. Thanks for all your hard work putting together such consistently engaging mini-documentaries of your life and travels.
And love to sir Frankalin 🦴🐕🌈
Frank is such a good natured dog. Both of you are lucky😅
💜
I love Frank soooooo much!
Me too🐾🐾💚😊
Your Angel's have been working overtime, keeping you safe. It's awful when you can't trust your mechanic. I'm glad you found a good one there. Beautiful spot you have and the hike looked really nice too.
🫶🏻 thank you
The kindness of strangers always melts my heart and you have made extended family of kindred spirits... Peace.
Great to hear Frank’s foot is healing - you are such a good mum to him ♥️ I live fulltime in my van with my Kelpie x Jack Russell x Cattle dog in Australia and we enjoy watching your adventures, so many awesome lakeside camping spots. We love we get a mix of vanlife, camping, hiking, meal ideas, campfires and van mechanics and more. Love to see that video on your past hike vs this one and how you’ve been preparing behind the scenes. I have a sprinter and good honest mechanics are hard to find but I too have just found a great mechanic after 4 years of searching, and when your vehicle is your home a lot more is riding on it being safe so we need that reassurance it’s in good hands. Enjoy the rest of your time on the island.
Thank you ☺️ I’m glad you found a good mechanic, you’re right there is a lot riding on it. We can’t just go home and get a rental car while work is done. Our entire lives stop when van work needs to happen.
Congratulations on making it all the way on that special hike! Frank is really such a cool dog! You two take care! 😊❤ WOW! So happy you went to the other mechanic and got your vehicle fixed! So dangerous for you to be driving with the vehicle in such condition!
Thank you for the hike congrats 🙏🏼
Sending Healing vibes to Frank
Awesome to finally get some great aurora footage, Amanda!
Frank is a champ and Amanda is the best mama.
I love sweet Frank. He’s so sweet!
Yes! Would love to see the 2016 Amanda, I’m sure is equally beautiful as the 2024 Amanda!
I haven't read through the comments so someone may have already said this. My husband works on cars and said he thinks whoever worked on your van forgot to torque the control arm. He said he's seen it before, the final thing needed to do is the final torque. People get in a hurry and install everything including the shims but forget to torque it properly and then everything starts to loosen and the shims will fall out. That's his best guess.
You do not need to address those who are unable to understand. You are one of the most genuine real people I have come across on YT. God bless you and Frank. Many happy memories to you both. You are fine as you are.
This is correct. Be you. Your people are here and more are coming ❤.
Agree 100% ☮️❤️
Thank you 🙏🏼 ☺️
So good to hear you found an honest mechanic. I hear whistles for your van can help scare deer away. Take care of yourself and Frank. Sending you lots of good juju.
oh you are such a great dog mom . I'm thrilled to see you out hiking on your own. give Frank a big hug ❤ Re back pain- try a small tennis ball under your feet. Roll foot on ball every morning. It's crazy how alignment and feet can cause so many problems.
Thank you. I use my wellround balls for foot massage as well, and I wear exclusively zero drop and mostly barefoot shoes for natural gait and alignment.
Those smooth rocks around your camp site and fire were so beautiful! Omg, that hike to the other side of the island was inspiring.
I would also enjoy seeing your then and now videos of places you've traveled to. A blast from the past is always uplifting. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Three things I love about your vlogs: 1. Frank 2. The crackling campfires. 3. Your genuineness. And my fave line from this one, as I am same (I live in a self-converted miniskoolie): I don't live anywhere, but I live everywhere👌 (I'm going to borrow that from you and get it put on a t-shirt☺)
You remind me of the movie True Grit. Woman, you definitely have true grit. I admire you so much!!👏🏻☺️❤️
I would love to see your previous trip to that beach. I think you should not let the comments about Frank when you leave him bother you if there are negative ones. You have shown us all….all the time…..how much you have Frank’s welfare always in the forefront of your plans. Wonderful vid….love that it was a long one. Hate that you had the bad mechanical stuff with Truck, and that is awful that people you trusted let you down that way
Thank you, I appreciate your kind comment 🫶🏻
seeing you and hopefully Frank in the past would be a great video. This island is so beautiful and clearly important to you.
Frank is such a sweetheart. I love how happy Frank was when you returned from your hike❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️
Flash back video would be interesting to see how things change and don't change either
Home is where your heart is!!!
Love Frank. Thank you for the wonderful videos. Hang in there.
I love the idea of seeing your older footage of this area contrasted with the ongoing trip!
Great idea having an experienced mechanic work on the drum brakes. Like everyone says, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore and most current mechs probably haven’t done too many drums, if ever. Glad to see truck, Frank and of course Amanda on the mend!
The drum work was great and you’re totally right that they don’t make them like they used to. So grateful for my old van and having mechanical issues rather than electrical and sensor bs 😅
@@tidelinetoalpine agreed!
Great video. I sure wish my pup would would lay down and be calm for "spa nails". Haha! She is worse than a mule.😂😂
😆 I worked hard when he was young to condition him to being handled, carried and tended to. I felt like it was essential for his safety and it’s ended up being really helpful
I loved the campsite, the trails, the beaches, auroras, and Frank. You’re right about the beach and drift woods being relaxing while trekking around. 🎉
Thanks Stuart 🙏🏼
What a divine environment! Such beauty and peace. God bless you and Frankie Boy.❤️
Glad you found a competent mechanic
Home is safe Frankie seems more relaxed today...good vibs abound.Sleep well.
I'm happy to see you doing that hike, very empowering!
That was such a magical forest you walked through.
What an impressive bear print. I hope you come across some sasquatch prints some time.
That’s a small bear print for around here! Keeping my eyes peeled for Sasquatch, always 💯
i don't live anywhere, but I also live everywhere. I like that. Best wishes, and thanks for bringing me along on your journey.
15 miles?! Dang. Go gurl!
Yes to old footage and memories
I'm really happy for you that you found an honest mechanic. A good accountant and honest mechanic make life a lot less worrisome.
What a beautiful Island you are on. Almost feels like home.
Accountant is on the list of things to sort out 😅
I'd love to see pre- you- tube footage.
I'd never question your deal with what each day brings for Frank's care. Get the grit girl.💜☮️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Thanks Karen 💜 sending you lots of love from me and your favourite Frankie
❤ that closing shot of Frank. Amanda, you are quite an excellent videographer! Only been watching a month and I am captivated by your open & honest dialog as well as your bond with Frank❣️ The hike was beautiful and congrats on 25K. It would be a fun chat over the campfire with you. Blessings on your journey ✨️ 🙌🐕
Thank you and welcome 🤗
That final Frank shot on this video...so sweet!❤
I would enjoy revisiting the younger version of both you&Frank doing that hike!
Wow! Outstanding video! Yes to the 2016 footage of that beautiful beach!
I love the way you love Frank
FRRRANNK eatin Popcorn.. Mmmmm 😋😋. As a lifelong Home mechanic and Precision Mechanival assembly technicion of over 20 years, the suspension on yur Van is super familiar. Ive owned many Chevy trucks since i was a teen.. Be pro-active Ananda. The roads you travel and living in it def will keep you safer. I was shocked to see that upper A arm with no shims.. super dangerous. Grrrrrrf!. But if this mechanismc on the Island can do the service correctly, let him. Guys like that are rare nowadays... Prayers and be blessed🙏🙏🙏👍🤙🤙💚💚
I dont mind some scorched kernels. That fire was awsome. ❤
What a beautiful day!! Thanks for sharing
Amazing editing job on this footage and kudos on the way you care for yourself, Frank, and Truck. Hopefully, you can find a trustworthy mechanic on the mainland.
I would love to see your footage from the last time you were there. Another fantastic video!
I love how Frank responds to your scratching and petting and love!
Hi from NZ! Love your videos. True to life.
Glad you are understanding your body. hEDS is challenging. I have JHS. Similar but not all your symptoms. Power to you young lady. Get your best life.
Thank you for sharing your time with us. I look forward to seeing you and Frank ❤
Loved the popcorn closeup of Frank :)
Ya know, I can only imagine the "comments" you get when you leave Frank to go do things. I am an avid outdoors lady, and I am also a dog lover and owner. As they age, it is hard to leave them behind and continue on adventures BUT, I did find my health and physical abilities dwindling as I stopped going as much, as to not leave the dog behind. I am an older woman and letting my fitness go is no longer an option. I have an older dog now and she can't do what she use to be able to do, so, I do both. I take her on outings and I also go solo where I can push myself more and keep and improve my physical and mental health.
I think at the end of the day I am a better caregiver for Frank when I look after myself as well. Leaving him for a hike is essential for both of us and I make sure to create adventures for him as well.
lots of love to you and frank and to that beautiful place!
A family member has EDS and her body hurts daily. What helps, when her lower back hurts, is a massage not only there, but her buttocks and legs, insisting on the back of her knees. But pain and muscle relaxant pills help when the pain is too much. As for the hip, do you sleep more on one side? I was told to sleep on the left side because of Gerd, but after doing that for a while, the right side started to hurt. After realising what was happening and sleeping on both sides, the pain went away. Love your videos a lot, they relax me, and give me a sense of joy and calm. Have a great day!
What a fantastic spot and wow good for you on the big hike. My pup loves popcorn too. ❤
Thank you form showing us around amazing place.
Would love to see old footage. Your channel seriously deserves more subscribers ❤
Really enjoyed this real slice of life and your sense of humor, storytelling prowess. Yes, absolutely would love to see the old footage. It's fun to watch the succession of an artists process when they are willing to share.
Your aurora footage is incredible!!
Them northern lights was absolutely Gorgeous 😍 thanks for sharing i missed it he in Michigan. Love n Hugs to U n Frankie. God Bless Ya'll ❤❤
Thanks Tammy, I hope you have a great day.
I like the idea of seeing the old footage. Enjoying your outdoor adventures 👍.
You and Frank do live most everywhere. Beautiful area. Good mechanics are hard to find. Thanks for sharing.
Frank looks like a senior dog but he looks healthy and happy so just keep doing what your doing with him you got this.
He’s gonna be 12 in a couple weeks 🤗
I am so glad I found your channel. You are such a gem and I adore your grounded nature. Thank you for being one of the most calming channels to watch, I love that you don't make it fast paced or music video style with annoying tunes. You and Frank are very special to a lot of us and I wish you many blessings and good fortune in your travels.
Thank you ☺️ I’m glad you found me also, it’s so nice there are people who appreciate my video style.
Great video😊. That little Frank tongue at the end priceless ❤❤❤
I agree LMNT is the best I ordered over a year ago after your recommendation and I back you up on this product.
A wonderful viog Amanda. Thank you for being so transparent with us.💜🐾💙 ~ Peg
I'd love to see some previous adventures from you and Frank :)
Awesome, great to hear Michelle.
Thank you for sharing your journey ✌🏽💖🤟🏽✨️🧚♂️
💜 So glad for this video Amanda. Been one of THOSE days. Didn't realize how much I needed this for my spiritual wellness. Thank you and Frank. Best of luck with Truck! Safe journey. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Thank you 🙏🏼 I hope you have a better week this week.
@@tidelinetoalpine thank you so much.🙏🏻. Been a bit rough lately. Lost my lab and my mom in past few months. One day at a time.
Would love to see a video comparing your visits.
Yes, I'd love to see the comparative video! Awesome beach, awesome hike...awesome you and Frankie! 👍😎🇨🇦💫🐾💘🌲🌊🌌🌌🌌
Thank you, thank you for sharing that amazing beach and forest! Congratulations on your long hike. You did it and looked cute as heck doing it, not even out of breath. That May 10th aurora was fantastic. I never thought I would see it from my yard in Shawnigan Lake. You’re amazing. Hugs to you and Frank. ❤️
Thank you ☺️ Shawnigan lake is so nice, what a place to see the aurora from 💜
Hi Laura, if you are interested in helping us with an adventure please email me at tidelinetoalpine@gmail.com it starts in Shawnigan lake you could also contact me on Instagram if you’re worried this isn’t actually me. Hope to hear from you.
@@tidelinetoalpine e mail sent excitedly
Really loved this one, but I could say that about every video you post! I'm impressed with how much mechanical knowledge you have. Thankful that you listened to your inner voice, Amanda, and that the possible disaster(s) were avoided. Wow. We want you safe and happy. So good that you are feeling better in your body and congratulations for reaching your goal. You are an amazing individual. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you and Frank. And all best wishes for Frank's foot to heal completely. He is such a sweetie! What an adorable clip at the end. That is the cutest little face!
Popcorn on a campfire! How awesome I haven't had popcorn on a campfire since girl scouts and I'm 70 now. ❤Thank you for the memory prompting 💕
Great video Amanda,I wonder what Frank must think watching your campfire. “She’s burning all of my chew toys” lol. I love your channel and you are truly a gifted videographer.
😂 this is exactly what Frank posted about on his Instagram @franksalutations
Glad you and Frank have safe home on wheels again.
Frank is adorable as always. Your photography is lovely. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Take care!
YES PLEASE!!!! I’d love to see your first experience of the Haida Gwaii. 😊❤😊❤
I like fresh popped corn too and put nutritional yeast on it! Sometime cayenne in the pot.
I love nutch!
😅 love the braids... good idea when long trails happen..
Lovely video. Your campfire 🔥 is so relaxing. Would enjoy an ASMR video of it. It's pretty much instant relaxation. 🌲 Frank is such a sweetie!
Could you get a custom silicone boot made for him? A fairly thick one that you could roll off and on once his foot is fully healed.
I will definitely look into that! Something secure would be awesome
I can totally relate to the mind set needed to dress wounds ECT .especially with active lifestyle.. it's all worth it!!
Oh yes, to aharing old footage to compare changea. Interesting idea 💡
So proud of you for accomplishing that hike. I too have a mild case of E D S along with an autonomic nervous system disorder called dysautonomia. The constant fatigue and pain you were talking about I so could relate. Love how you love Frankie! I too have had my fur buddy for 16 years thankful for every day with him!
Definitely, yes, I'd love to see your old footage and some 'then and now' comparisons. But only if it's fun for you. If it becomes a drudge, then don't bother. I love sharing the walk with you through the woods and down to the beach. I love watching you take care of Frank. What a lucky guy! And I always love watching you build a fire. Hey, here's a potato frying tip I learned from my old friend Nick. Do everything just as you already do, but put a lid on them to hold in the steam. They will cook up so much faster if you hold that heat in. And they still get nice and brown.
I just love your videos!
You've had so much going on. You're so lucky to have found a good and honest mechanic. Thank you for the update on Frank's foot. Have been worried about it.
Your dinner sounded so inviting. I'll have to try a similar version. The coverage of the scenery was amazing. Hope you continue doing well. See you next video. 😊
Thanks Sharon 🤗 wishing you a wonderful week.
@tidelinetoalpine Thanks. So far, my week looks uneventful. Which is good.
auto maintenance and pre-emptively replacing parts before they reach complete or catastrophic failure can sometimes be tough to come to terms with but it is ALWAYS good practice.
I am all for it!! So much better to replace things on my terms when I can afford it.
