My father died of a heart attack in our living room when I was 13. I saw and heard him die. My parents NEVER told us they loved us. Saying "I love you" was not the norm in those days 1960's/70's. I wound up becoming a successful adult eventually but I certainly had scars from the childhood trauma. You are relatively young. You still have a chance to succeed my friend. Figure out what you do best and make a living at it. Happy Birthday.
I'm a hobo, drifter, vagabond, nomad. I spent Christmas 2023 in Salina Kansas. 1st time there. Blizzard forced me off of I-70. Stayed south of town and ate Christmas dinner at an excellent Chinese buffet 8.7/10. I'm in Denver now... I relate to everything you say and I'm 43. Don't resist it man. You are an adventurer for life 💪
I’m sure sharing parts of your story was hard. Thanks for speaking the truth. Truth is the best footing on any road you choose to travel. Happy Birthday, Ross! I’ve watched and enjoyed all your videos. Thanks! ✌️
I feel you. I'm 60 yrs old now, but when I was 30 I was searching as are you. My advice is find a place you like. "No where's perfect" the most important is the people in that place. Find a job you like no matter what the pay and work you're way up. The money will come. Never work fast food or dead end jobs. Work at a place with people who are motivated and you will be too. Good luck 👍
I recently turned 60. you might not know it yet but what you are doing right now is priceless life experience. you cant get the wasted years in a dam cubical (figuratively speaking) back to redo them.
Happy birthday my guy! Ive got the question "what makes a person just take off one day" a LOT recently. They dont realize that its a long ass story that leads to a total breakdown and abandonment of normal life.
Happy Birthday broski! 🎉 Look at all the comments left already by your loyal viewers. I know I have been looking forward to you uploading some content. I could really identify with you in this video. You're quite the story teller. I feel like I know you a little bit better now. I've watched all your videos. I've cheered you on. Cussed you out. Sang along with you and I've worried about you. Thank you so much for sharing this honest humble journey you are on with me. I will be waiting for your next video my friend. It looks beautiful wherever the hell you are. I hope you have a wonderful blessed birthday!
Happy birthday brother. I have been in the same boat over the years. Psychs changed my life. Im coming up on a year of sobriety from booze. Trying to find my place but its not where I was conditioned from a child. Im trying to figure that out. But I know we will get there. Keep doing what your doing man. Be kind. Be at peace. Positive vibrations my friend. Safe travels
Someone once told me that life was a game to be played, not a mystery to be solved. I guess I have played my cards that way. 55 now and still don't know what I want to do, but retirement is looking pretty appealing. I think everyone can relate to certain aspects of your narrative, which makes life seem so interchangeable, for better or worse. You are a wonderful storyteller. Keep the dream alive and follow the road that makes you happy.
Keep it up dude. You make great content and seem to one of the few genuinely free people in the world. Plans are for people without the freedom to do whatever they want, when they want.
I really command you for putting all of that out there man I wish more people did things like that And worked from it We all have our own crap in our lives It's just how we deal with it Good luck out there man I'm definitely looking forward to see what the future holds for you
Happy birthday man. Thank you for sharing your story. We have a lot in common. Maybe I'll see you out there on the road sometime. Take care and be safe
Happy birthday bro! Welcome to your 30's, I will be turning 34 this year. Whatever you choose to do it's in your hands, not the hands of anyone else. Things happen in life for a reason, there's a good reason why you've been on the road for over a year now. Keep doing whatever you feel like is right, things will fall into place.
Hey brother, I just subbed, I hope it helps you out. You are right, life is really strange, but always remember, every single one of us matter, and alot of us can relate to your story. Hang in, there's alot of good people out there!
Ross, I have a quick, easy video idea for you. I know you’ve recently had to replace nearly all of your gear. It might not seem like much to you since you see your kit everyday, but I (and I think many others) always love a loadout video showing your complete kit. Plus, now that you’ve been on the road for quite awhile it would be interesting to see how your thoughts on gear have changed.
Happy Birthday!! Celebrate who you are. You are worthy, intelligent & compassionate. Don't let anyone, nor yourself take that away. Thank you for sharing your story. You are strong dude! You've got this! Make life your adventure. 🌄 There is good in this world, sometimes it escapes us. But you've been proven that. 👍
Jus remember life isn't supposed to be easy!... It's up to every single decision we make to make life as easy as possible. We sometimes let our minds get us down so we gotta figure shit out that we feel should already be figured out.. Make smart decisions and ur gonna be alright my man 🎉 happy 30th birthday 🎂 Remember train kept a rolling all night long 🕺🏼

That is insane cause I just finished the vice hitchhiking series and this was the first video I watched on TH-cam after finishing it like what the fuck
Does anyone know what's going on with Ross? It's been a WK since he last posted. I'm a little worried about him - knowing what he's been through. I'm not sure there's any way to find out where he. Is and if he's okay. Id anyone knows please post.
I had the same suck upbringing you had. Where I lived, you could hit the south gate of Pendelton with a rock. In the Summer, while all of our classmate were "Surfin USA", and "Rockin Around the Clock", My brother and I had to work in that yard and dig up another tomorrow. I graduated from High School, and able to get a two year degree in electronics. Just to hear, "College students. "You can't teach them anything". My background in Electronics kept me out of the Medics when I was in the Army during the Vietnam Era. I am now 78, been retired for 14 years now. I am enjoying just about every minute of it. I did not partake any of the habits of those younger years, like smoking, alcohol use and getting stoned. I retired debt free, and I do not have to take a list of medications longer than my arm. As a matter of fact, I feel in better shape at age 78 than I did at age 18.
Life is a journey. You will eventually settle down somewhere with a family hopefully. Wandering, traveling, whatever you want to call it has its own purpose for a season. But there is a time for everything. Look forward to putting roots down somewhere. We aren't meant to live alone. I hope you can find a relationship with God the father while on your journey. Don't accept my perception of him but grow your own perception of God. Talk to him and most important, listen to him. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. Doesn't mean life is going to be perfect by no means. Life is life. But don't do it alone. Jesus is the way.
A whole 3 decades old WOW im 7 decades old and worked my ass off for 5 and a half decades, might be time to regroup your life and stop roaming around. ....😊
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSS. SUGGESTION: DONT COMB YOUR FINGERS THROUGH YOUR BEARD THROUGHOUT W noHOLE VIDEO.. "EVER" . ITS CRINGY AS HELL. LOOK, IM SO SORRY THAT YOU WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED TWICE. SERIOUSLY YOUR 30 MAN, IF YOU WANT TO BE A TRAVELER, BE ONE. IF NOT DON'T, I THINK YOUR PROBLEM IS YOU GO BACK AND FORTH AND THAT MAKES IT HARD ON YOU. I HAD A HORRIBLE CHILD , LUCKILY NO SEXUAL ABUSE, BUT BASICALLY ABANDONMENT. LEFT TO FIGURE LIFE OUT AS A KID. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD LEGAL TROUBLES, ENDED UP IN THE JOINT AS A CONVICT FOR MANY DECADES. BUT I GREW UP AND MATURED AND EVENTUALLY GOT MARRIED AND HAD A KID. I SWORE I WOULD NOT DO WHAT MY MOTHER DID TO US KIDS. I SPENT A LOT OF TALKING TO HIM, EXPLAINING LIFE AND TELLING HIM I LOVED HIM. HES A GREAT MAN NOW, DOESN'T DO DRUGS , DRINK AND IS A CARTOONIST. I BROKE THE CYCLE. MY POINT IS, YOU CAN HAVE CHANGE, YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRYING AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. WE DID. ITS UP TO YOU.. REGARDING SUICIDE, SISTER KILLED HERSELF, IT WAS A " VERY SELFISH" ACT. SHE LEFT 4 KIDS TO LIVE WITH THEIR MOM KILLED HERSELF AND HER FAMILY AS WELL. TOTAL SELFISHNESS. YOU SEEM TO DWELL ON YOUR PROBLEMS AND NOT BE A PROBLEM SOLVER. I VE BEEN HOMELESS TRAVELER SINCE I WAS 16 , MINUS 21 YEARS MARRIED. THE LAST 10 AFTER MARRIAGE DUE TO BACK INJURY AND COULDN'T GET HELP IN IDAHO. I WORKED MY ASS OFF AND NETWORKED ALL OVER SPOKANE WA TO GET HELP AND HOUSING. BEEN HOUSED NOW, AND LIFE IS GREAT. SO YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. IT WILL ONLY CHANGE IF YOU WORK AT IT. DON'T BE A VICTIM , BE A PROBLEM SOLVER SPOKANE HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF PROGRAMS TO HELP AND HOUSE HOMELESS. ONLY PEOPLE IN SPOKANE THAT ARE HOMELESS ARE ONES WANTING TO BE HOMELESS. MOSTLY DRUG ADDICTS SADLY.. SO IF YOU CHOICE TO GET OFF STREETS, SPOKANE IS GREAT PLACE TO DO IT. MY VERY BEST ROSS.. BE SAFE BROTHER.. ===DRIFTER===
Do yourself a favor. Find a girl, Settle down... If you want to you can marry... life is short, make the most of it. Don't let the past dictate your future. And for the love of God stop constantly running your fingers through you beard while you talk, seriously..... Good luck young man!
Stay strong man. Don't do hard drugs, whatever you do.

You're self destructive. So don't give advice. Probably on meth. Do us all a favor and sleep on the tracks 🫠
Sounds like an amazing life

hb bro
what i would have given to know my parents! some are sentenced to pure horror, trying to grow up in this world!
the world is your palette... paint it!
What happen to truck driving school ,you are in Kansas now where you have a license.

Sounds like your finding out were you fit in this crazy fukd up world. Take care m8.
'Executive dysfunction' what a load of shit that is. You don't need those chains.
Nice #storytime. 🍄🎂

Happy birthday. No wonder you're out finding a new life. Ya just went through your first saturn return. Quite fitting
I turn 53 tomorrow 👍
Happy birthday 🎂 🎉!!
You ain't got no damn executive disfunction! Don't let them tell you there's anything wrong with you. Making ailments up at this point 👉
A whole 3 decades old WOW im 7 decades old and worked my ass off for 5 and a half decades, might be time to regroup your life and stop roaming around. ....😊
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSS.
SUGGESTION: DONT COMB YOUR FINGERS
THROUGH YOUR BEARD THROUGHOUT W noHOLE
VIDEO.. "EVER" . ITS CRINGY AS HELL.
LOOK, IM SO SORRY THAT YOU WERE SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED TWICE.
SERIOUSLY YOUR 30 MAN, IF YOU WANT TO BE
A TRAVELER, BE ONE. IF NOT DON'T, I THINK
YOUR PROBLEM IS YOU GO BACK AND FORTH
AND THAT MAKES IT HARD ON YOU.
I HAD A HORRIBLE CHILD , LUCKILY NO SEXUAL
ABUSE, BUT BASICALLY ABANDONMENT. LEFT
TO FIGURE LIFE OUT AS A KID. NEEDLESS TO SAY
I HAD LEGAL TROUBLES, ENDED UP IN THE JOINT
AS A CONVICT FOR MANY DECADES.
BUT I GREW UP AND MATURED AND EVENTUALLY
GOT MARRIED AND HAD A KID. I SWORE I WOULD
NOT DO WHAT MY MOTHER DID TO US KIDS. I
SPENT A LOT OF TALKING TO HIM, EXPLAINING LIFE
AND TELLING HIM I LOVED HIM. HES A GREAT MAN
NOW, DOESN'T DO DRUGS , DRINK AND IS A
CARTOONIST. I BROKE THE CYCLE. MY POINT IS, YOU
CAN HAVE CHANGE, YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP
TRYING AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. WE DID. ITS UP
TO YOU..
REGARDING SUICIDE, SISTER KILLED HERSELF, IT
WAS A " VERY SELFISH" ACT. SHE LEFT 4 KIDS TO
LIVE WITH THEIR MOM KILLED HERSELF AND HER
FAMILY AS WELL. TOTAL SELFISHNESS.
YOU SEEM TO DWELL ON YOUR PROBLEMS AND
NOT BE A PROBLEM SOLVER.
I VE BEEN HOMELESS TRAVELER SINCE I WAS
16 , MINUS 21 YEARS MARRIED. THE LAST 10
AFTER MARRIAGE DUE TO BACK INJURY AND
COULDN'T GET HELP IN IDAHO. I WORKED MY
ASS OFF AND NETWORKED ALL OVER SPOKANE
WA TO GET HELP AND HOUSING. BEEN HOUSED
NOW, AND LIFE IS GREAT.
SO YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. IT WILL ONLY
CHANGE IF YOU WORK AT IT.
DON'T BE A VICTIM , BE A PROBLEM SOLVER
SPOKANE HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF PROGRAMS
TO HELP AND HOUSE HOMELESS. ONLY PEOPLE
IN SPOKANE THAT ARE HOMELESS ARE ONES
WANTING TO BE HOMELESS. MOSTLY DRUG
ADDICTS SADLY.. SO IF YOU CHOICE TO GET OFF
STREETS, SPOKANE IS GREAT PLACE TO DO IT.
MY VERY BEST ROSS.. BE SAFE BROTHER..
===DRIFTER===
Sounds like you needed to join the military at around 18 to get some structure and discipline in your life. It's not too late to join now.
You should go work for the FBI?,And find criminals..or chase them...
Do yourself a favor. Find a girl, Settle down... If you want to you can marry... life is short, make the most of it. Don't let the past dictate your future.
And for the love of God stop constantly running your fingers through you beard while you talk, seriously..... Good luck young man!
many of us , most have some form of coping mechanism ,jonny carson would keep scratching his nose when stressed
Happy Birthday 🎂 Things will look up for ya.
