SHEEP HOLE WILDERNESS - TOM GREEN - VAN LIFE - EXTENSIONS OF MAN

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Having spent the last few months on the road I am taking a short pit stop at home in Los Angeles. My best friend puppy companion Charley needs a routine medical procedure and after her short recovery we will be back on the road VERY SOON! This video is one of my favorites so far. It turned out to be an incredible day driving through the Sheep Hole Wilderness, and the Mojave Desert on my way home to LA. If you are interested in learning more about the places in this video there is plenty on information online. I don't intend to make these travel logs informative as much as they are simple photographic journeys. So rather than rambling off facts and stats that I (or anyone) could look up on Wikipedia, I will let the pictures tell the story. I will say that the homesteads outside of 29 Palms were quite stark. But something about the crumbling ruins of these old buildings is quite beautiful. I hope you are enjoying my photography and video that I am creating. I already have plans for my next location and will be back on the road filming new videos very soon. While I am taking a short break now to attend to Charley's medical needs I am also making much needed adjustments to the van in many areas that will make it easier for me to live and work on the road. New things being added to the recording studio and also some new cooking ideas that will make it easier to prepare food and survive off the grid. Stay tuned the adventure continues very soon. In the meantime I will post a video of Charley as she recovers at home in LA. And I will make some posts on Instagram so follow me over there @tomgreen as I prepare to head back out into the wild! Happy Holidays! - Tom

You're always changing, always evolving. I really like what you're doing here, keep them coming.
Just wait
@@tomgreen Can't wait, lol. FYI, just bought the the DJI Air 2 and the Iphone 12 Pro Max for my road trip starting 16Jan. Hope to see you out there.
Love what your doing and your music Merry Christmas 🎄 ⛄
@@tomgreen Tom, this is indeed all pretty sad. After you've had your fun with this, perhaps you should travel to a bit more lively places, and do more interviews with weird or unusual people. (just a thought)
Your production skills are amazing. I disnt notice 20 years ago!
Sometimes it looks like Tom and Charlie are the last survivors of the apocalypse 😂
In a way... they are...
That’s the vibe I got!
Watch a boy and his dog.
Don Johnson movie from many years ago.
@@annmarie4080 Oh yea, I got big "Boy and His Dog" vibes from this video
Chopper
"So you want everybody to be depressed?" "Yes." I'm glad Tom hasn't changed.
Brilliant phone call with his mum, nothing changed since the 90’s shows with his mum still trying to help him and improve on his mental well-being 😂 It’s all in fun and we love it, keep em coming Tom!
Love the conversation between you and your mom, Tom. She wants you to play upbeat music to lift up your viewers' spirit (such a mom way of looking at the world! It's how we are. LOL), but you don't want to because you don't want to "hurt" viewers who are having a hard time by making it appear as if everything is hunky dory. Love that, Tom! My son (he's 26) when he was a little one asked me one day why everyone on the television (on shows and in the commercials) were always smiling and so happy. It bothered him so much! He knew that he didn't smile all the time and he couldn't understand why people were acting crazily happy over a tube of toothpaste. LOL I had to explain to him that what is seen on tv isn't real life and to not let it make him feel down or think that his life isn't going well. He's still a very insightful "kid"!!!
Looking forward to your CA videos! Glad Charley is having "her operation". :D
Listen to your mother Tommy!!
Ha ha his mum has been trying to get through to him since the 90’s shows she’s been trying to calm him and mentally manage him, always worried about Tom and sees his as some out of control child ha ha brilliant viewing, we all know it’s in good banter I hope and his mum not too worried about him great watch, I love the mystic apocalyptic music and feeling to the videos so funny! 😆

I enjoy the sad ,eerie, creepy, and depressing music. 👌
I don’t !
This is the best thing I've seen after smoking pot in like a year for real.
The music 🎶 Kinda reminds of me the - Shinning. Parts of it, dose... Just saying.
The shoes. My god man, THE SHOES. Like a surreal episode of Breaking Bad. Amazing.

Tom you’re literally my fav person in all of Internet Land 💫 Charley is best pup 💜
Tom, you have the coolest Mom. I love how you can connect with her while out on the road and how she helps you understand where you're at by reading to you info from the internet. You get unconditional love from her. It is heart warming for you to share that with us. Thanks and Merry Christmas greetings from Prince Edward Island.
Thank you Ross. I love PEI I lived there for the first 2 years of my life
@@tomgreen Well when you & Charley make it this way I've got a driveway with a water view. Being here again might inspire more cheerful music that will make your Mom happy. 😎
The music is soothing because it meets me where I am.
The images excite me because they exist right on our doorstep, and I feel urged to get out there. Charlie is such a pleasure bc allergies keep me separate from being physically in contact with our furry friends, but the connection you have with her, is joyful to behold.
Thank you Tom for helping us feel at home with you. It's just what I need right now. 💜❤💜❤
This is poetry... Feels like its the end of the world
Well said!
Tom is living life. Super jealous of his adventures.

When did living in a van become spiritual lol
Obviously 43 people thus far disagree with you 2 bums. Must be watching his videos all wrong, meaning your life probably sucks.His vibe alone brings calm and peace.

Hi Tom, I'm Eric Rumfelt 42 PA. You should write a song like.. Hello you all, my name is Tom Green, I've been to the desert, and what have I seen?, I've seen that we live in this wonderful dream, a land that we all had forgot it would seem, from glaciers carved out pillared reveens, and arches, and peaks all painted serene... something like that. Feel free to expand. I've followed your career since way back, so keep being awesome. Sincerely bud. Charlie is awesome too. Hope his surgery went well. Later.
Just wanna say I hope you meet up with Brent from Cerro Gordo with the channel ghost town living...I think it would be excellent
YES!, this is a great idea. Holy crap, this needs to happen. Explore some mines, etc.
Is he there right now? I love that channel
@@tomgreen yes Tom, on your Texas ghost town video in the comments he’s personal,y invites you to go visit him there....go check it, his comment has like 980 likes

You're the ONLY celebrity that has always been ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC. ALWAYS been yourself, and for that I THANK YOU, Tom!! Please be safe out there. I pray for you and love the content.
The music has a cool "The Shining beginning credits" vibe.
I dont like it too spacey or suhn
That's exactly what I was thinking & gonna say. Very cool.
Yep
The man is slowly losing it
I think that music is from the show Twin Peaks.
A strange morphing of dystopian landscape, futuristic soundtrack, and a slightly quirky and lighthearted view of the world. A tricky combination to achieve. Well done!
Merry Christmas from Yellowknife, NT, Tom!
I can't wait to come visit Yellowknife in my van!
@@tomgreen If you announce it ahead of time, and get the full Yellowknife treatment, talk to Cabin Radio. They're an upstart media company who does great work. Check 'Em out on Facebook. If you wanna keep it low key, then I'll keep your secret! haha.
@@tomgreen Merry Christmas, Tom and Charley from the White Mountains, NH! Happy and safe trails! 🎄
Merry Christmas Tom from hometown Ottawa, Canada looking like a green Christmas up here.
Awesome images of your trip through the US Southwest what an interesting ride, thanks for sharing, cheers!
@@zappazowie6959 hi!
Back in California the traveler awakens and dons the local garb. Exchanging his well worn flannel for a freshly laundered hoodie was bound to put the locals at ease.

Whoa! You were in 29 Palms! I live here, next to the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. I actually live right off Utah Trail, which was the intersection/stop light in your video. It would’ve been so cool to run into you at Circle K. I’ve been following this entire journey, and I just wanna say thank you for all this awesome content!
Rock on see ya sometime in the future my friend
@@tomgreen I spent Christmas by myself today. My kids were with their mom, so today kinda sucked, but this just made my day. Thank you so much. I never comment on anything, and I don't follow any celebrities, other than you, so thank you so much for the reply. My name is also Tom, but I go by Thomas. Lol. If you ever find yourself in 29 Palms again, I got weed for you and treats for Charley. :)
@@CynicalThomas Rock on my friend!!! Makes me happy that this resonated. I spent Christmas alone also and it also sucked! Charley is good tho. Focus on the positive things and move forward!! All the best my friend!
@@tomgreen thank you so much! I really needed to hear those words (focus on the positive and move forward). I've been through alot, I'll spare you my life story, but I think the universe wants Tom and Thomas to smoke a joint next time you're in 29 Palms. I live above the city and the Marine base, you'd get some good footage here. Haha. That moment you had with Charley, when you cried, made me cry. I'm a 6'2 tattooed war veteran, people tell me I'm intimidating lol, and that made me cry like a baby, because I felt it. You are an awesome human being sir. Thank you.

I can't believe Tom went to Sheep Hole. I love that place. Got lost there TWICE. And yet, it was precisely there, where I found myself... GOD BLESS YOU TOM!
Tom once again proving "once a songwriter, always a songwriter" with the sock song.

Tom, this venture of yours has been nothing but brilliant, beautiful and heartbreaking. Heartbreaking for the fact that I am not where you are. I am approaching 40 soon, and I have always said to my wife that I wanted to travel the unknown roads of the States. It may not seem to be much for most, but I am in the depths of Africa, in ols, South Africa...so it is basically never going to happen. I get to live it through yo8ur travels, and you have been most entertaining. So thank you, sir! Thank you to yourself, and to Charley. May you be blessed over this season, and I cannot wait for the next video. Howzit, from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Love your stuff, Tom. Been a fan since the beginning. Keep it coming. This is some great content. Also, good luck Charlie!
Thanks Tom, another inspiration indeed. Great to hear your Mom's voice, she was the happy music you needed and she lifted me as well though her caring words, you're blessed to still have her there for you. Peace brother, happy holidays and all the best for Charlie's soon-to-be surgery. Get back out there soon, it's healing.
Remember he painted the car with lesbians.

I found Tom's new stuff after listening to him on Rogan a while back. He's living the true American dream! Tom seems happy, free, and fascinated by everything by almost everything he comes across. It's great. Thanks for sharing Tom. I love the ambience of the music too -- it kind of reminds me of the opening scene of The Shining where they're driving out to the Overlook hotel.
I'm loving what you are doing Tom. I read travels with Charley back in the 60's and fully understand how you got the wanderlust bug. Recently, I went down the TH-cam rabbit hole exploring Slab City and the Salton Sea area. Hope you get to stop by and explore that scene. Merry Christmas to you and Charley.
I was thinking the same thing about Slab City. He'd probably need to hire some security for that adventure though. Far too many heroin and meth addicts out there these days.
@@XennialMind I've wanted to check it out but hesitated for that reason. My dad went and said it was very creepy and he felt watched the whole time. He snapped a couple of pics and got the hell out of Dodge. A solo guy, with his dog and high end recording equipment with just amp the paranoia.
Tom... your my hero right now. Been watching for a while, while you're on the road and everything your doing is better and better than the Tom Green that I grew up with. Live your music especially. Your melancholic droning ambiance is wonderful. I actually really look forward to it.
Tom you are the inspiration this disparate American has been looking for. Thank you. Truly.
Another great video Tom! I’m enjoying every minute of it. I hope Charley’s procedure goes smoothly. Merry Christmas to you!🎄 Hi to Larry!👋

That was great hearing you and your Mom talk while you and Charley are on the road headed to LA.
Every American should take a road trip or even an Amtrak trip across the country. Preferably when young. May alter your perspective of who the United States of America is.
I worked with this old farmer/ machinist in Appalachia. He suffered a heart attack close to retirement and survived. He bought an RV and was going to drive across the country, and that he did. I ran into him about a year later. He was looking nervous and his eyes were wide open. I asked him about his cross country road trip. I can't remember what he said, but he seemed overwhelmed. His body language and expression exuded the statement... "I never knew".
Wonderful statement. Merry Christmas stranger.
Coming from the serene desert and getting onto Interstate 10 West to Los Angeles is a tough pill to swallow.
Hence depression

What a cool place, so desolate but so many stories could be shared about those places. Love the history description your mom gave on the hanging shoes! She’s so cute with her advice for uplifting music, that’s a mom for ya! 😆 You both look good and will be sending prayers for sweet girls surgery to go perfect and then of course... the cone of shame!

(Instead if while in motion) I’ve been through that part of California and recognized one of the gas stations from about 12 years ago, and remember they would not let me get free ice and they had no tap water to share. It was 110 degrees that day, and I had to drive 25 miles further to get some free water. I had no cash and they were dicks. Good to see they went out of business!

These vids have actually helped me sort my priorities and gain perspective, and find out what I truly want right now in life. So I’m just saying Thanks You’re Awesome!!!
Good! I will keep making them.

I love this. I wish you, Charley, and all your loved ones a happy holiday! Can’t wait for your next video!!!!!!!!!!
Sheep Hole could be my favorite place on the planet. The expansive openness and flatness of it with these formations that just seem to rise out of nowhere from the flatness. It's very martian but also extremely peaceful and soothing at the same time. @6:50 is a great example. I typically camp there once a year but my travels, like many others this year, have been put on hold. I'll return again. Thank you for bringing me back there for this year, Tom. Much love.
Yay, Christmas came early ! Thanks for the video! Happy travels back home !! Good luck to Charley with his vet procedure. His one folded ear makes him extra adorable !!!
Hey Tom, I was born in Pembroke, lived in Petawawa in the 90s, went to high school in Orleans and lived around the corner from your house. Still live in Ottawa and these videos really help me. Love you man take care of Charley.
Merry Christmas Tom. Thank you for taking us on great adventures.
I like it. Before the pandemic I traveled 10-11 months out of the year for work. Most of my co-workers flew. I drove. You can only appreciate all of this country when you see it firsthand. Safe travels my friend.
Tom, I've loved your content since I was very young. It's great to see you doing so well and I love this series. Charlie is awesome, keep up the great content.
That was a lonely stretch of road, TOM. Bless you for your time and thank you.

Those wide intro shots are like tom's trademark now
this is hilarious, 20 years later and your still gold
I love u all,merry Christmas 🎅🤶
Hey Tom your the best comedian no matter what
I really enjoy the adventures of Tom and Charlie
Suspiria / Orson Welles mood? Thanks for sharing your rad life with us!! Charlie is such a sweetheart!
Merry Christmas Tom & Charlie🥰
The best compliment I can give you is that when I see your videos popup I don't watch them. I wait until I can watch them in 4k with headphones on my PC.
Thanks to Tom, I've got back to singing short silly songs about everyday things like playing with socks.
A Charley song is in order! Something that captures her personality. I'd love to hear more of the music you're working on Tom. Keep up the amazing tour of the beautiful west.
I hope after Charlie's procedure you both head out on the road. You seem so carefree and happy.🕊️❤️🎄❄️
Very enjoyable videos of the trip. It was cool to be with Tom while he was out in such beautiful and remote parts of the West.
I agree with your mom Tom. Let's have some more happy music in this craxy world. She sounds so sweet. Truthfully the ominous music does give me a chuckle.
Merry Christmas Tom Green. We love you Tom Green. Keep on truckin, keep on truckin, keep on truckin.
Thank you Tom for your channel, I feel like I travel with you .
Awesome!
Merry Christmas, Tom. Looking forward to what the New Year brings from you and Charlie
I love it when Charley sees a person pushing a bike in the middle of a fucking desert and can't stop staring to the point she turns around to continue staring 8m58s. Great videos and music.
My son and I are heading back that way tomorrow. Haven't seen Mojave National Preserve since the fire. Never been to Sheephole. Thanks for capturing the eccentric nature of the region so well. Hope Charlie is recovering.
Even that abandoned van shot is an infinite pile all old unknown stories. I do love whatever feeling that is
The originality and freedom of the content is magnetic. Keep them coming.
Very impactful! and kind of eerie...days gone by. Gotta love Moms eh! They bring you back to reality. ; )
Charley getting big. Besafe traveling Tom
