  • To live the truly free, nomadic life, we must reduce our living expenses to the absolute minimum, and the key to that is to stop paying rent or a mortgage. Those are a noose around our necks, holding us to the prison of work and the rat race. Fortunately, it's entirely possible to live rent-free or for very cheap! In this series, I'm going to show you how! Find the entire series as a

    You know what I love about Bob the most? He never discounts anything. You have a RV? Great, live in it. You have a car? Great, live in it. You have a tent, YES!! Do it. I've watched so many videos and every one of them always has these dire warnings. Don't do this, don't do that. If you're not this...you can't do this. Bob never says that. He offers things that will help, offers advice, but in the end, he's optimistic about everything. I love that if I come out there and I'm living on my bicycle, Bob is going to be like "This is great!!" He proves time and time again, you don't need to be rich, you don't need fancy stuff and you certainly don't need a 60K RV to enjoy life. Keep them coming, Bob.

    I lived on the Quechan Indian Res for ten years, year around in an old travel trailer. During the hot months I swam in the All American Canal twice, sometimes three times a day, it wasn't legal, but there were ways to do it with out getting caught. Oh, and the name of the Casino was the Paradise Casino. I used to eat their breakfast buffet several times a month. The camping fee during the time I was living there was $36 for three months. From the video it sounds like it might be less now-$86 for a whole year. If you're into being a recluse like I was, camping there is a great way to go. I called my campsite Palo Verde Camp, sure do miss it.

    Americans do pick crops when they have the opportunity. My mother and I both worked in an apple orchard picking apples - and she had a back problem and other issues. And it was no less back breaking than any other kind of harvesting.My siblings and I also detasseled corn and walked beans. Americans - at least rural Americans, will take whatever work they are given. And sometimes they will do it for free even if they are having problems themselves - such as scooping snow for elderly people who can't do it for themselves.

    2020 Update: We called and inquired with the tribe about this and we were quoted different prices each time we called (We called twice.) and it was closer to 100 than 86 both times but what was the same was that we were told permits were now good for 3 months. Perhaps as they become familiar with some Nomads who return regularly they may offer better deals. I just thought I'd pass on the updated information we were given.

I think the small fee to be out on open land would be worth it honestly and you are still close to the casino, the border and a quick drive to town for whatever you need.

I plan on doing it for at least 6 months to a year. If I like it, I plan on continuing the adventure. If I don't like it, I plan on finding a small piece of land and creating a completely off grid tiny house homestead. Once that is done, I plan on doing that indefinitely. If it doesn't work out, I will sell it and find a tiny house somewhere. Either way, I have plans for my future.

    thanks, Bob, for an informative video for those looking for an alternative, nomadic lifestyle. You can't find rent THAT low anywhere in the U.S. .. of course, you can't expect much in return either . However, you have proven that a person CAN make it work. Unfortunately, some people lose site of what your channel is all about, and instead use it as a soap box to climb upon to spout their own agendas from. Sad that some of us folks, who are SERIOUSLY choosing the nomadic lifestyle (in order to get away from the 'noise' , bickering & who's right/who's wrong).. Have to put on our boots to wade thru the bullsh*t in the comments ! I was ACTUALLY hoping to read more about What it's like to CAMP there ? or... What kinda FISH you can catch in that canal ? I'll keep watchin', Bob and Thanks again for another great video : )

      Rent in Western North Dakota was just $560 a month from 2006 to 2010. There houses are also cheap you get over 1 acre of property and a 3 bedroom for between $100k to $150k. Greed happens in most states, and some states put quality of life over making a buttload of cash for property owners who rent out their homes.

The landlords only have the incentive to sell the building in order to turn a profit. This is not capitalism. Let the free market set the price. That way, everyone wins. If you are priced out of an apartment, you move to where you can live more cheaply.

    Florida is called the "Sunshine State" because of the "dry season" that affects mainly the southern half of Florida. S.W. Florida (Ft. Myers area) has the largest extreme between its wet and dry seasons you'll find anywhere. From November to May it is sunny, dry, and even low humidity almost every day. It rarely rains during these months. The "Snow Birds" come down to enjoy the warm sunny weather during the cooler months of the year. Then from June to October southern Florida switches over to the rainy season. Fort Myers, for example averages over 10" of rain in June and over 50" of rain annually, with most of it falling during the Summer season. This also coincides with Hurricane Season (June - Nov). But November is usually a sunny and dry month that starts off the "dry season" again. Then for the next 7 months it's very sunny and dry again. S. Florida is also the warmest place in the U.S. during the Winter. It's much warmer than the desert southwest, where it can get quite cold at times during the Winter (even a rare snowfall can be seen in the desert S.W. during the Winter. But the desert southwest is much hotter and drier during the Summer than south Florida. While its extremely hot in the southwest U.S. during the Summer, Florida is very humid with lots of thunderstorms. It rains (thunderstorms) almost every day across southern Florida during the Summer. It doesn't rain all day, but a strong thunderstorm can be expected pretty much every afternoon. The rest of the day is sunny, hot, and very humid.
