One thing I’ve learned in my 78 years is never judge anyone. I have met some of the most incredible people and you’re another one. You just never know where people are coming from or what they have experienced. But I’m usually astounded. Such a beautiful story and I appreciate you sharing it.
I started Jeeping exactly a year ago. It’s been life changing for my MS havin’ A$$! You are one of my heroes at Jeeping & I’ve been sending healing thoughts & white light for 2 months. I also have a music background which might be why I loved you instantly before I even knew your story. Keep being awesome to yourself.
Kudo's for Matt's off road recovery!! He has lead many who watch his I Tube videos to Paul at Fab Rats, Robbie Laten Nation, and all the other jeepers, and Mischief maker, of course!! I'm a 73 year old granny who wishes I had more life and money for such fon monkey business. In Missouri we would call you a well rounded specimen of blarney, spit and vinager who knows her way, and can hang with the best in any crowd, and with a wonderful outlook on Life. God bless you!
As someone who emigrated from the UK , I love your annunciations and your awareness of the words and expressions that just don’t translate. I can see how hard you work at it. Makes me smile as I am still doing this after nearly 30 years here :-)
Hey Hollie, Pete from Wollongong Australia, not a rock crawler but a 4wd'er wandering Oz. You sound like you are a beautiful soul! Your empathy for your fellow humans shows through. I am married to the most wonderful Scottish lady and you all seem to have this wanderlust in you. Love your work, love your beast of a vehicle and keep up the good work. Walter is a lucky man!!
Wow Hollie, never would have expected that beautiful Italian opera voice to come out of that Jeepin Scottish gal. Impressive vocals! Thank you for sharing your experiences and opening up to your fans. Not an easy thing to do! PS, I had literally the same experience through school. Harassed endlessly due to my name (BJ) until a school switch just before my senior year, and finally found people that looked past the silly name and got to know the person. 35 years later those people are still my friends. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the content. Keep the shiny side up and keep dreaming. 😁
You absolutely knocked me out off my chair with those few bars from an aria! I’m an off-reader AND an Opera fan (although I must admit that I couldn’t place that snippet!), and all I can say is, BRAVA!
Went from Matt's over to here to find out about your origins. All I can say is WOW, Walter knew right off what a wonderful human he had right in front of him. Now, we out here are privilaged to be part of your life through YT... BTW, what a wonderful voice. One of my favorite pieces is "Time to Say Goodby" by Andre Bocelli and Sara Brightman. Love to hear your rendition of it.
As many people said it's matt's fault. No seriously thanks for Matt for showing beautiful people with a wonderful background. Respect Hollie and i see this 2 year's later and see how much you grow in more ways than you will see about yourself. I hope you still will grow and hope you will have a wonderful life. You doing great ❤👍
Outstanding voice. Although the clip was indeed short, your voice thrilled me to my core. Not what I expected from a jeepin' video, but more than welcome. Thank you.
Learning about you and your fascinating life is a game changer for me. For me, your life is perfection. Living life, traveling, meeting people and enjoying what you do. Just being a rolling stone, going toward what you want. Amazing! ♥️
Being a music pro, classical music that is and a gear head is a great combo. Both my father-in-law and I are the same. He was an opera singer and restored cars. I met him when he was my vocal coach and professor. 25 years later we still work on cars and sing. I thought I’d be an opera singer too, but 24 years later still in the military. Life takes us places we never thought we’d go. You have a beautiful voice. Thanks for sharing your story.
Wow Wow Hollie you have a Beautiful Voice .It was great to hear your back ground. My Grandparents came from Ireland and Scotland .🍀 Great Video .🍀👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Really enjoyed learning about who you are and where you came from. Beautiful voice!👍 Glad you got to do the things you have, I'm sure it was a great experience. Glad you are here in the good old USA. Love your Jeep travels. Be safe, and see you soon.👍🇺🇲💐
I’ve been watching you on different channels for about a year now. You have such a great personality. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video. I’m happy to hear about your background. Thank you for sharing you’re very inspiring , ye true love!
Thank you so much for opening up to us as strangers. Your love of music and the outdoors resonates with this old man. With everything you do and whichever turn you take next, don’t ever forsake the music. At 75 years old, there are many things I can no longer do, and I certainly don’t have the voice I had many years ago, but the love of and participation in music, either alone or with a chorus or small group, is still a source of joy and fulfillment. Blessings and good luck to you and your husband as you discover the many branches of your road of life. Thank you again for allowing us to ride along with you.
Ah, kids seem to experiment with being mean. It gives most of us the opportunity to recognize that behavior in others and to recognize sympathy and empathy in others as well. It sucks being on the receiving end for sure, but I like to believe it helped mold me into a more caring person and, in that way, I’m grateful for the overall experience.
Thanks Hollie. It’s good to know more about you. I’m just a little old man in southern Indiana living a rural lifestyle and I’ve been following Paul, Matt and Robby, and you snuck in. My ancestors are from Scotland, so howdy. You and Walter take good care of each other.
As an old fellow, who’s been driving 4x4s longer than a lot of people are old, I get more than a few double takes at a stoplight when my top is down on the Jeep and there’s classical music coming from my speakers. When you began to sing, all I could think was BRAVO!!! Well done dear lady.
Scots never lose their accent, irrespective of where they hang their hat. Aberdeenshire is stunning. Good to see you’re happy in the US, I’m English living out the rest of my days in beautiful Romania since 2001. Only just picked up on your channel, via MORR’s Channel. Don’t give up your singing, you have a lovely voice! God bless you 👍🏻🇷🇴❤️
WOW, love this video Holly. That was so awesome. My wife had a scholarship for singing and now she is a nurse. Life take us so many places. Keep living amazing story.
Thank you! Hopefully we cross paths at some point. The best thing about singing is whether or not, you do it professionally, it’s an awesome skill that you have for the rest of your life. 😃😃
A beautiful soprano.. Who would have thought? A voice like that, is a gift to the world. Don't put it away.. it's who you are, and at least, part of what you're meant to be.
Wow the people you meet on a Jeep trail. Great story, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more adventures with you and Walter. We live great lives when we live to help others.
It was nice to learn you history. We have a family friend that is from Scotland. She moved here in the late 1970s. Her family still lives in Scotland and she goes back to visit every year. She lives in a small town in southern Utah. Love watching your adventures. Take care and be safe.
I really loved what you shared about yourself and the life you are living your singing was beautiful and I am so glad you found Walter i met him at the Offroad Expo and he was very nice
Hollie (or is it Holly?), that was cool, thanks for telling us a little about your past and your life since you came to America. Most of us found you from Matt's channel and we LOVE IT when you are in his videos, Paul's and Robby's videos and of course, your own. Be safe, have fun, adventure on! (Off road adventures rock, of course.) ;)
I am late to the party, but very much enjoying your adventures and journey!!! My wife is Scottish roots and we really enjoy the history and culture. I’m Polish/Slavic but I love my kilts! Your singing voice is STELLAR!!!! In true honesty: you have similar range and strength of voice to two of my favorite vocalists: Tarja Terunnen and Floor Jansen!! You sound much like Tarja!!! Loving the channel and hoping Robby are crew have Mischief Maker ready in time!! Luckily it’s a relatively short drive to Moab!!
Thanks! That’s one of the things I live about the Jeep world. So many different and interesting stories all brought together by a passion for building and wheeling these awesome machines 🤩
OMG, Hollie I loved your singing and your story, you sung one of my favorites I learned in school. What a fabulous experience you have had. Definately want to hear more singing on the red rocks as you're rolling along, special song request 'O mio babbino caro'
Thank you Hollie for sharing your story! Wow your voice is gorgeous and so is your smile :) I to was bullied through school … made me stronger! Glad to hear you found your happy strong life and Walter ❤️ You have friends in Oregon Take care
Oh my goodness lady. You singing voice is obviously from your creator. Please use it for his glory and for the world to enjoy. You are such a beautiful woman with a magnetic personality. I wish I could reach through the screen and hug you. Walter is one absolutely blessed man. Thank you for being so open with your great life story.
What a wonderful voice! I'm so impressed! I was a music major in college and supported myself that way when I was young but later became a Civil engineer and built highways and pipelines. Always an offroader though. I'm also interested in your dealing with diabetes as you travel and I'm sure can't always follow a beneficial diet. I sure enjoy your adventures especially when your running with Matt, Paul, Brittany and Kevin too. I hope to cross paths with you someday soon.
Thank you!. Hello and welcome back my lovleys is like returning home!. Mam your kindness and care show the world the size of your hart. May your trail always be an adventure and may mischief maker always return you safely home.
Wow, that was an amazing story!! What experiences you have had!! Sorry to hear that you were bullied, evil people is all I can say. That sure is a cool jeep you drive. Looking forward to your videos.
Thanks for telling your story, it was really interesting! It's funny how we end up where we do and the convoluted route we took to get there! I'd love to see some of your old singing videos if you're willing to share them.
Sounds like you learned the first rule of life. We are constantly evolving who we are and those who embrace it thrive. You seem to have embraced who you are and are thriving. Stay happy !!!
Walter is a lucky lucky man! Beautiful voice Hollie. Thank You for sharing. I think Walter deserves to hear you sing more often. And you know he appreciates it more and not because you let him sleep with you. You both are in my prayers Hoka Hey
Holly we need to hear your pipes! Please let your gift be shared, possibly a holiday special short with a favorite piece possibly with a beautiful outdoor background?
Hollie i like so many others had no clue about your life, I for one am very amazed by your talent, I hope you will consider telling us how you came about riding trails and knowing matt thank you very much I appreciate your videos take care 🙂🙏👍
Hollie, loved your story, loved your singing more, brought tears to my 74 years old eyes, so thank you.. Im English Through and through, had crazy fun for years racing the UK Ovals in 4 separate formulas, but after 14 fun filled years, She who must be obeyed said you got to stop spending our money/ so had to go cold turkey for 3 years not thinking of racing..It was OK, I just worked very hard.. To cut it short both me and late wife retired at 55 and bought a place 30 metres from a beach on a cold damp January morning in 2004, fate gave the wife 13 years in retirement before brain cancer took her from us, so taking a chance to retire 10 years early paid of.. Im still a petrol head but at slower speeds now.. ENJOY your life together as you just never know what tomorrow brings with it.. God Bless, be happy, show us your having fun, as we all get just one chance.. Ian..UK.
OMG, Walter ! That is so fun to hear how it happened ! Amazing karaoke on a Mountain! Glad I found you, thank you ! Fab, Matt, & so on on the Rock/Sand 😈’s
Never really heard your accent when watching blips on Matt's Channel or Robbie Layton Channel. Don't know much about Scotland other than a Scotch can be a Whiskey but a Whiskey cannot be a Scotch! Best of the years to you!
That was a great ice breaker about you and your crazy life. I also went to 3 different high schools and was bullied at the last one. When you told Match that you wanted a guy over 6'6" did all 4 of them respond to you? Lol. Glad to hear that you and Walter are in your 8th year of marriage. Beautiful voice for sure. Thank you for sharing your life story.
Awesome voice, good for you. You have had an interesting and multi-faceted life which has given you a lot of gifts. Really like your jeep and the contributions you give to Matt's adventures! Great video, keep on doing what you do and Walter is a lucky person!
Thank you. I try to follow my heart.... sometimes I have to listen to my head but I’m lucky to have such a great partner in life who puts up with my craziness and hunger for adventure 🤘🏻
MischiefMakerTV Having someone who understands you and has the same or similar passions is huge. My wife Crystal and I really enjoy keeping up with your journey.
Thank you for sharing that, Hollie...you're a brave lady! My wife and I found you when watching another offroad YT channel and saw your buggy and looked up your "handle" Mischief Maker that is on it. Always fun to watch you make it all look so easy.
You are definitely a lady with many talents. Thank you for telling us about your background and for giving even just a "Snippet" of your singing. You have a wonderful singing voice. Please do NOT let it go to waste. I'm sure that there are many people that would enjoy hearing you sing. I for one. I also wish I had you driving talents too. You put many a man to shame with your skills. All the best from Canada.
Damn, your voice - what an impact when you started to sing. Big respect. Your outdoor setting prompts me to check out for local Opera in the Park performances.
Thank you for sharing!! Especially the vocal skills ❤️❤️. I just started catching up on your channel and this makes you videos all the more enjoyable and genuine. Glad you settled here in the States for the time being, you and Walter make a great team 🙂
Hello Hollie (sp?). I came here from your most recent video with Matt. What an incredible journey you're on. Because of this video I decided to subscribe. And I'll be watching more of your journey. Where you've been and where you're going. Thank you so much for opening up about your past and your more formative years.
I also lived in Italy for a few years, a bit before you did. I lived closer to the Yugoslavian border. It still existed back then. I loved it there. Thanks for the perspective and the reminders.
You have an amazing voice. Thanks for sharing with us. That takes a lot of courage. That was a great story. I love seeing you an Walter together as well. I know he's busy, but your dynamic is so fun to watch. Thanks for another great video. See you tomorrow.
Robert Lewis thank you, Robert! Walter will certainly have more time in the Summer and in my weekend wheeling videos as soon as we get get back on the road in 11 days! 😀🙌🏻
Been catching up on your story after finding Matt's Offroad. As a fellow Scot from Keith who trained in Aberdeen I know the areas you chatted about well. I'm now retired and you guys have made me want to visit the States - specifically to have some fun on those trails but as a rookie! Maybe one day!
Wow! What an amazing life story! And to think you’ve only just begun. Walter is Very lucky, as I’m sure you feel lucky too. We Americans need more Classic Culture. Love that voice! Thank you for being so brave to open up to us.
Thanks for sharing Holly. What a wonderful and varied life you've had so far. It is amazing how our lives seem to fall into different chapters as we age. forming the book of our lives. Some times hard somtimes sad and then wonder and joy peace and fullfilment . Life ALWAYS CHANGES if we don't like what it is today, just wait tomorrow is always not what you thought it would be. CHEERS Steve h.
Wow! I've watched you on Matt's Offroad and several other channels and as i watched this one I was moved (to tears) by your Scottish history (and accent). My ancestors (Flemings) also come from Scotland, and I am a direct descendant of the King of Scotland from years back and I hadn't thought about it for a while until I watched this. I loved this and have sincerely enjoyed your off-roading adventures and your brave off-roading skills. Keep it up lassie!
I love to hear about your life and now you with Walter will be fun to follow. Matt, Robby, Paul,and their families are so awesome and I love them all. I am glad to have you and Walter to call friends also. Keep up your awesome lifestyle it is a wonderful way to make the world better.
Very cool video. Thanks for opening up and sharing some of the details that have led to the Holly we all know and love. The reward was definitely near the end of the video. Congrats to you Walter!
Whose being bullied now, sister! 👌 A person's group of friends speaks volumes & you seem to have a great group to wheel with who obviously respect you alot! You're an amazing inspiration... love watching a fellow gal dominate the trails. Keep being you and keep up the Awesome content & I shall keep on watching ( even though my husband has a bit of a crush on you) 🤗
I was thinking about you. The Queen just has passed away and I'm feeling a little Sad right now and I think just saying HI! to you will help me feel better like only someone from my true Home Country. I am a descendant of both Scottish Kings (John Flemings). I 've seen you running about in your Blue Jeep over here., and it always puts a smile on my face. You were only about 15 minutes away from me a few times in theTennessee mountains. GO have fun Lass! We are always with you. PS, It eained here also when you sang that beautiful song.
I loved this episode! I'm quite new to the TH-cam Offroad channels, and because of that, also Your channel. MischiefMakerTV is now one of my favorits! I have been Offroading for many years, but I'm getting more and more inspirations to exploring due to Your efforts! Best regards from Norway!
I’m so grateful for all the support and proud to see the international community following along with our shenanigans! I hope you continue to enjoy the content 😀👍🏻👍🏻
We were guessing some Scottish element there some how. Walter seemed so nice and sincere in the first video I watched the two of you sitting at the table talking. You both just seem so made for each other. Having someone on your side willing to take that first step in blind faith means so much. Love your videos and will be trying to work through you list over the next while. Hello from PEI Canada.
Dang girl! What a story. You've definitely created a channel that for me, I feel I have a connection to. Congratulations on being able to live the life you and your husband want to!
Love watching your videos! My husband and I actually met you and Walter a few Jeep Beach's ago while standing in line to get into the speedway, I think pre-youtube scene and you were telling us you had just sold your house and were Jeeping full time, now look at you guys!!!
Our 'Scottish' family is in Strathmiglo and have we visited a number of times. We met them in Nova Scotia in 92 and have been close friends ever since. Thank you so much for the closer glimpse into who you are. Thanks again from Montreal 🇨🇦
Sheesh what a life so far! I would never have thought you were from Scotland, I am also British from England. That just blew me away, then the Italy thing, I also love Italy, I have spent some time there and have many friends. Your voice is amazing giving you were outside in the wilderness, I bet in an auditorium your voice could really be appreciated. Then off to Haiti I think you said helping people out, that must have been amazing too, I have been there too as I was in the British Merchant Navy for many years as a Marine Engineer. Then America, now how could you with a mobile home like you have ever settle down to one place when there is too much to see out there. I was close to purchasing a mobile home like yours to hitch up to a swivel or whatever it is called on my Nissan Navara Outlaw but it wasn't to be. Your short story blew me away, following you on TH-cam was one thing but a little bit of history well none of what you told us would have come to mind had you asked before this video. I don't understand how the opera, clean sterile world comes to collide with getting down and dirty which is a part of crawling and what you do now, One would never have guessed. You seem to have found your place with Mischief Maker and rock crawling / sand hollowing he he. Good luck to you Hollie enjoy following along with you and your good group of friends. Kind regards from England UK.
Thx for posting and ( y'all ) being real . I am beginning to be a bit jealous of the JEEP community . Past couple of vids were awesome , esp. M.Maker rock crawling . Thx again . - Ken
He can thank you so much for watching the channel. Jeep community does really rock so if you ever have a chance to come in and ride or ride with a friend or ride your own vehicle I would definitely say do it
Hi Hollie, thoroughly enjoyed your life story….and not a bad voice 👍 Saw you and your Jeep on Matt’s channel so naturally followed up, got quite a surprise when you started speaking to camera, recognised the accent before you said what your roots were as I’m NE Scotland myself, was born in Ellon. So, I’m just getting into this TH-cam off-roading USA thing, hopefully see much more of you guys. Stay safe.
Before you mentioned that you came from Scotland, I was wondering about your accent. To me it sounded mainly "American" but there was a hint of something else. As soon as you mentioned Scotland I recognized that aspect of it. My grandparents came from Scotland so I grew up hearing the accent.
I thought I could sing, but HOLY COW!!! You have an AMAZING voice! PLEASE keep singing, even if it's just for you and Walter! Thank you for sharing your life with us! I'm glad I found your channel! :)
Enjoyed learning about you Hollie. I found you on Matt’s Off Road Rec and started watching ya! Enjoy the keeping experiences. But really liked this one. You see I have been friends with a Scottish lady for many years. Anna and you have the same accent, annunciating your words identically. So listening to you is like hearing an old friend talk. Love how you moved around the world and found yourself. Good show !!
I knew it!!! I've been arguing with my friends about your accent. They were saying you were Irish, but I stuck to my guns and said, you are Scottish. I love the language and culture. You Rock, Hollie!!
Bless you for sharing your story, you've had a full life & willing to take chances. Thanks for singing a snippet, your talent evident. Love your accent too. Hope you never lose it. It's amazing you & hubby get to travel all over, I think most ppl would love it too. 😀 Hollie!
One thing I’ve learned in my 78 years is never judge anyone. I have met some of the most incredible people and you’re another one. You just never know where people are coming from or what they have experienced. But I’m usually astounded. Such a beautiful story and I appreciate you sharing it.

Keep being awesome to yourself.
Kudo's for Matt's off road recovery!! He has lead many who watch his I Tube videos to Paul at Fab Rats, Robbie Laten Nation, and all the other jeepers, and Mischief maker, of course!! I'm a 73 year old granny who wishes I had more life and money for such fon monkey business. In Missouri we would call you a well rounded specimen of blarney, spit and vinager who knows her way, and can hang with the best in any crowd, and with a wonderful outlook on Life. God bless you!
We’ll said granny!
As someone who emigrated from the UK , I love your annunciations and your awareness of the words and expressions that just don’t translate. I can see how hard you work at it. Makes me smile as I am still doing this after nearly 30 years here :-)
It’s great to look back several years and find this video telling a little bit about the story of your life. Enjoyed it !

Wow, Holly, that voice!! I would never have guessed in a thousand years. And I love the jeep.
As many people said it's matt's fault.
No seriously thanks for Matt for showing beautiful people with a wonderful background.
Respect Hollie and i see this 2 year's later and see how much you grow in more ways than you will see about yourself.
I hope you still will grow and hope you will have a wonderful life.
You doing great ❤👍

It's nice to see someone out there enjoying life, love your videos
Hollie , you sure got the last laugh on the Bullies. You're so kind, I don't know why anybody would bully you. Shame on them! Thumbs UP to you! 👍
Ah, kids seem to experiment with being mean. It gives most of us the opportunity to recognize that behavior in others and to recognize sympathy and empathy in others as well. It sucks being on the receiving end for sure, but I like to believe it helped mold me into a more caring person and, in that way, I’m grateful for the overall experience.
Wow what a great story, meeting you and Walter at the off road wrecker games was awesome.
Thanks for coming out to visit with all of us. It really was an awesome weekend!! 😊
Thanks Hollie. It’s good to know more about you. I’m just a little old man in southern Indiana living a rural lifestyle and I’ve been following Paul, Matt and Robby, and you snuck in. My ancestors are from Scotland, so howdy. You and Walter take good care of each other.
As an old fellow, who’s been driving 4x4s longer than a lot of people are old, I get more than a few double takes at a stoplight when my top is down on the Jeep and there’s classical music coming from my speakers. When you began to sing, all I could think was BRAVO!!! Well done dear lady.
Thank you so much! Jeeps and Classical music are 2 of my favorite things 😀🤘🏻
Hollie, Matt introduced you and now I’m glad to meet you. I will enjoy watching you videos so much more.
Lovely voice, great Jeep.
Scots never lose their accent, irrespective of where they hang their hat. Aberdeenshire is stunning.
Good to see you’re happy in the US, I’m English living out the rest of my days in beautiful Romania since 2001.
Only just picked up on your channel, via MORR’s Channel.
Don’t give up your singing, you have a lovely voice!
God bless you 👍🏻🇷🇴❤️
💙💙 thank you for the kind words and the support! 😀

What an incredible ride you have had so far Hollie! Thanks for sharing!
Watching you and listening to you has made me a little more rounded person. Thank you and may your path always be filled with glory.
Hi Hollie
Great to hear your story!
The Scottish are such a beautiful people!
You do them proud!
Love your videos!
I really loved what you shared about yourself and the life you are living your singing was beautiful and I am so glad you found Walter i met him at the Offroad Expo and he was very nice

Waw! That singing part was amazing! What a voice! Was not expecting that. Hats off for you Hollie, the offroad opera singer! 🎶 🎵
You are an amazing young lady you have a heart of gold and a old soul, thank goodness I saw you on Matt's Off Road Recovery ❤️
I am late to the party, but very much enjoying your adventures and journey!!! My wife is Scottish roots and we really enjoy the history and culture. I’m Polish/Slavic but I love my kilts!
Your singing voice is STELLAR!!!! In true honesty: you have similar range and strength of voice to two of my favorite vocalists: Tarja Terunnen and Floor Jansen!! You sound much like Tarja!!!
Loving the channel and hoping Robby are crew have Mischief Maker ready in time!! Luckily it’s a relatively short drive to Moab!!
This makes your videos more personal. Life has many paths we can chose from, some are not chosen but shown! Enjoyed the singing!
Thanks! That’s one of the things I live about the Jeep world. So many different and interesting stories all brought together by a passion for building and wheeling these awesome machines 🤩
OMG, Hollie I loved your singing and your story, you sung one of my favorites I learned in school. What a fabulous experience you have had. Definately want to hear more singing on the red rocks as you're rolling along, special song request 'O mio babbino caro'
Thank you Hollie for sharing your story! Wow your voice is gorgeous and so is your smile :)
I to was bullied through school … made me stronger! Glad to hear you found your happy strong life and Walter ❤️
You have friends in Oregon
Take care
Oh my goodness lady. You singing voice is obviously from your creator. Please use it for his glory and for the world to enjoy.
You are such a beautiful woman with a magnetic personality. I wish I could reach through the screen and hug you. Walter is one absolutely blessed man. Thank you for being so open with your great life story.
What a wonderful voice! I'm so impressed! I was a music major in college and supported myself that way when I was young but later became a Civil engineer and built highways and pipelines. Always an offroader though. I'm also interested in your dealing with diabetes as you travel and I'm sure can't always follow a beneficial diet. I sure enjoy your adventures especially when your running with Matt, Paul, Brittany and Kevin too. I hope to cross paths with you someday soon.
Thank you!. Hello and welcome back my lovleys is like returning home!. Mam your kindness and care show the world the size of your hart. May your trail always be an adventure and may mischief maker always return you safely home.
Wow, that was an amazing story!! What experiences you have had!! Sorry to hear that you were bullied, evil people is all I can say. That sure is a cool jeep you drive. Looking forward to your videos.
Thanks for telling your story, it was really interesting! It's funny how we end up where we do and the convoluted route we took to get there!
I'd love to see some of your old singing videos if you're willing to share them.
Sounds like you learned the first rule of life. We are constantly evolving who we are and those who embrace it thrive. You seem to have embraced who you are and are thriving. Stay happy !!!
Walter is a lucky lucky man! Beautiful voice Hollie. Thank You for sharing.
I think Walter deserves to hear you sing more often. And you know he appreciates it more and not because you let him sleep with you.
You both are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Walter is a very lucky man to have found you. I am happy for the both of you.
Holly we need to hear your pipes!
Please let your gift be shared, possibly a holiday special short with a favorite piece possibly with a beautiful outdoor background?
You are an amazing person. Always the best for you and Walter. God bless your life.
Hollie i like so many others had no clue about your life, I for one am very amazed by your talent, I hope you will consider telling us how you came about riding trails and knowing matt thank you very much I appreciate your videos take care 🙂🙏👍
Thank you for being brave enough to share your life story with us! You are totally awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to watch 😊 🤙🏻
Hollie, loved your story, loved your singing more, brought tears to my 74 years old eyes, so thank you.. Im English Through and through, had crazy fun for years racing the UK Ovals in 4 separate formulas, but after 14 fun filled years, She who must be obeyed said you got to stop spending our money/ so had to go cold turkey for 3 years not thinking of racing..It was OK, I just worked very hard.. To cut it short both me and late wife retired at 55 and bought a place 30 metres from a beach on a cold damp January morning in 2004, fate gave the wife 13 years in retirement before brain cancer took her from us, so taking a chance to retire 10 years early paid of.. Im still a petrol head but at slower speeds now.. ENJOY your life together as you just never know what tomorrow brings with it.. God Bless, be happy, show us your having fun, as we all get just one chance.. Ian..UK.
OMG, Walter ! That is so fun to hear how it happened ! Amazing karaoke on a Mountain!
Glad I found you, thank you !
Fab, Matt, & so on on the Rock/Sand 😈’s
Never really heard your accent when watching blips on Matt's Channel or Robbie Layton Channel. Don't know much about Scotland other than a Scotch can be a Whiskey but a Whiskey cannot be a Scotch! Best of the years to you!
That was a great ice breaker about you and your crazy life. I also went to 3 different high schools and was bullied at the last one. When you told Match that you wanted a guy over 6'6" did all 4 of them respond to you? Lol. Glad to hear that you and Walter are in your 8th year of marriage. Beautiful voice for sure. Thank you for sharing your life story.
Awesome voice, good for you. You have had an interesting and multi-faceted life which has given you a lot of gifts. Really like your jeep and the contributions you give to Matt's adventures! Great video, keep on doing what you do and Walter is a lucky person!
Wow! Really full life so far. Love that you are willing to take a chance and live. So many people waste their lives wishing instead of doing. - Nate
Thank you. I try to follow my heart.... sometimes I have to listen to my head but I’m lucky to have such a great partner in life who puts up with my craziness and hunger for adventure 🤘🏻
MischiefMakerTV Having someone who understands you and has the same or similar passions is huge. My wife Crystal and I really enjoy keeping up with your journey.
Your a well round human being! We need more people like you in the world 🌍
Thank you for sharing that, Hollie...you're a brave lady! My wife and I found you when watching another offroad YT channel and saw your buggy and looked up your "handle" Mischief Maker that is on it. Always fun to watch you make it all look so easy.
You are definitely a lady with many talents. Thank you for telling us about your background and for giving even just a "Snippet" of your singing. You have a wonderful singing voice. Please do NOT let it go to waste. I'm sure that there are many people that would enjoy hearing you sing. I for one.
I also wish I had you driving talents too. You put many a man to shame with your skills.
All the best from Canada.
So glad to hear about your life. You have had a very rich life. I would never have guessed. And thank you for singing for us. That was amazing.
Damn, your voice - what an impact when you started to sing. Big respect. Your outdoor setting prompts me to check out for local Opera in the Park performances.
Thank you for sharing!! Especially the vocal skills ❤️❤️. I just started catching up on your channel and this makes you videos all the more enjoyable and genuine. Glad you settled here in the States for the time being, you and Walter make a great team 🙂
Thank you I love Opera, Very interesting you are, Love your show.👍👍🧡
Hello Hollie (sp?). I came here from your most recent video with Matt. What an incredible journey you're on. Because of this video I decided to subscribe. And I'll be watching more of your journey. Where you've been and where you're going. Thank you so much for opening up about your past and your more formative years.
Of course. I'm excited to have you with us and can't wait to hear what you think of everything
I also lived in Italy for a few years, a bit before you did. I lived closer to the Yugoslavian border. It still existed back then. I loved it there. Thanks for the perspective and the reminders.
You have an amazing voice. Thanks for sharing with us. That takes a lot of courage. That was a great story. I love seeing you an Walter together as well. I know he's busy, but your dynamic is so fun to watch. Thanks for another great video. See you tomorrow.
Robert Lewis thank you, Robert! Walter will certainly have more time in the Summer and in my weekend wheeling videos as soon as we get get back on the road in 11 days! 😀🙌🏻
Looking forward to seeing more wheeling videos. Keeping people occupied during the quarantine is awesome.
Been catching up on your story after finding Matt's Offroad. As a fellow Scot from Keith who trained in Aberdeen I know the areas you chatted about well. I'm now retired and you guys have made me want to visit the States - specifically to have some fun on those trails but as a rookie! Maybe one day!
It’s absolutely stunning out here in Utah, Ian. Definitely make the trip over and enjoy some rock crawling and sight seeing if you can! 😊💙🏴
Wow! What an amazing life story! And to think you’ve only just begun. Walter is Very lucky, as I’m sure you feel lucky too. We Americans need more Classic Culture. Love that voice! Thank you for being so brave to open up to us.
Thank you so much for watching this episode! Just a little background 🤣
Thanks for sharing Holly. What a wonderful and varied life you've had so far. It is amazing how our lives seem to fall into different chapters as we age. forming the book of our lives. Some times hard somtimes sad and then wonder and joy peace and fullfilment . Life ALWAYS CHANGES if we don't like what it is today, just wait tomorrow is always not what you thought it would be. CHEERS Steve h.
Wow! I've watched you on Matt's Offroad and several other channels and as i watched this one I was moved (to tears) by your Scottish history (and accent). My ancestors (Flemings) also come from Scotland, and I am a direct descendant of the King of Scotland from years back and I hadn't thought about it for a while until I watched this. I loved this and have sincerely enjoyed your off-roading adventures and your brave off-roading skills. Keep it up lassie!
I love to hear about your life and now you with Walter will be fun to follow. Matt, Robby, Paul,and their families are so awesome and I love them all. I am glad to have you and Walter to call friends also. Keep up your awesome lifestyle it is a wonderful way to make the world better.
2+ years later, this still matters. You're a cool person Hollie, and I love following you:)
Very cool video. Thanks for opening up and sharing some of the details that have led to the Holly we all know and love. The reward was definitely near the end of the video. Congrats to you Walter!
When you started singing it literally blew me away! What a beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Now go have fun pretty girl.
Whose being bullied now, sister! 👌 A person's group of friends speaks volumes & you seem to have a great group to wheel with who obviously respect you alot! You're an amazing inspiration... love watching a fellow gal dominate the trails. Keep being you and keep up the Awesome content & I shall keep on watching ( even though my husband has a bit of a crush on you) 🤗
😅 Thank you for the support. I truly appreciate you watching the channel! 💙
I was thinking about you. The Queen just has passed away and I'm feeling a little Sad right now and I think just saying HI! to you will help me feel better like only someone from my true Home Country. I am a descendant of both Scottish Kings (John Flemings). I 've seen you running about in your Blue Jeep over here., and it always puts a smile on my face. You were only about 15 minutes away from me a few times in theTennessee mountains. GO have fun Lass! We are always with you. PS, It eained here also when you sang that beautiful song.
I loved this episode! I'm quite new to the TH-cam Offroad channels, and because of that, also Your channel. MischiefMakerTV is now one of my favorits! I have been Offroading for many years, but I'm getting more and more inspirations to exploring due to Your efforts! Best regards from Norway!
I’m so grateful for all the support and proud to see the international community following along with our shenanigans! I hope you continue to enjoy the content 😀👍🏻👍🏻
We were guessing some Scottish element there some how. Walter seemed so nice and sincere in the first video I watched the two of you sitting at the table talking. You both just seem so made for each other. Having someone on your side willing to take that first step in blind faith means so much. Love your videos and will be trying to work through you list over the next while. Hello from PEI Canada.
Awesome. Youve had a interesting life so far. Thats what its all about living and enjoying every moment. 🤘
Dang girl! What a story. You've definitely created a channel that for me, I feel I have a connection to. Congratulations on being able to live the life you and your husband want to!
Love watching your videos! My husband and I actually met you and Walter a few Jeep Beach's ago while standing in line to get into the speedway, I think pre-youtube scene and you were telling us you had just sold your house and were Jeeping full time, now look at you guys!!!
Samantha Barton such a small world! I hope we cross paths again soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😊🙏🏻
That bit of music in the hills was delightful. ❤❤
We need another video of How you Started on this Jeep Life
Check out the Q&A we did a few days ago
Our 'Scottish' family is in Strathmiglo and have we visited a number of times. We met them in Nova Scotia in 92 and have been close friends ever since. Thank you so much for the closer glimpse into who you are. Thanks again from Montreal 🇨🇦
Wow. That’s some real talent. Happy for you and your husband. Have a great and healthy day!
Sheesh what a life so far! I would never have thought you were from Scotland, I am also British from England. That just blew me away, then the Italy thing, I also love Italy, I have spent some time there and have many friends. Your voice is amazing giving you were outside in the wilderness, I bet in an auditorium your voice could really be appreciated. Then off to Haiti I think you said helping people out, that must have been amazing too, I have been there too as I was in the British Merchant Navy for many years as a Marine Engineer. Then America, now how could you with a mobile home like you have ever settle down to one place when there is too much to see out there. I was close to purchasing a mobile home like yours to hitch up to a swivel or whatever it is called on my Nissan Navara Outlaw but it wasn't to be. Your short story blew me away, following you on TH-cam was one thing but a little bit of history well none of what you told us would have come to mind had you asked before this video. I don't understand how the opera, clean sterile world comes to collide with getting down and dirty which is a part of crawling and what you do now, One would never have guessed. You seem to have found your place with Mischief Maker and rock crawling / sand hollowing he he. Good luck to you Hollie enjoy following along with you and your good group of friends. Kind regards from England UK.
Your videos are great! Always look forward to watching the next one. Really nice to hear your story.
thank you, Jeff! ☺️
Wow your a beautiful person Walter is a lucky guy to have you in his life.great Jeep enjoy sight seeing around the country, enjoyed the singing thanks
Thx for posting and ( y'all ) being real . I am beginning to be a bit jealous of the JEEP community . Past couple of vids were awesome , esp. M.Maker rock crawling . Thx again . - Ken
He can thank you so much for watching the channel. Jeep community does really rock so if you ever have a chance to come in and ride or ride with a friend or ride your own vehicle I would definitely say do it
Hi Hollie, thoroughly enjoyed your life story….and not a bad voice 👍
Saw you and your Jeep on Matt’s channel so naturally followed up, got quite a surprise when you started speaking to camera, recognised the accent before you said what your roots were as I’m NE Scotland myself, was born in Ellon.
So, I’m just getting into this TH-cam off-roading USA thing, hopefully see much more of you guys. Stay safe.
Before you mentioned that you came from Scotland, I was wondering about your accent. To me it sounded mainly "American" but there was a hint of something else. As soon as you mentioned Scotland I recognized that aspect of it. My grandparents came from Scotland so I grew up hearing the accent.
I thought I could sing, but HOLY COW!!! You have an AMAZING voice! PLEASE keep singing, even if it's just for you and Walter! Thank you for sharing your life with us! I'm glad I found your channel! :)
Your story is amazing and you have a beautiful voice!
Thank you! My path is definitely a bit non-traditional, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!!
Enjoyed learning about you Hollie. I found you on Matt’s Off Road Rec and started watching ya! Enjoy the keeping experiences. But really liked this one. You see I have been friends with a Scottish lady for many years. Anna and you have the same accent, annunciating your words identically. So listening to you is like hearing an old friend talk. Love how you moved around the world and found yourself. Good show !!
OMMMMGGGGGG You can singgg,,, beautiful voiceeee
TY! ☺️
I knew it!!! I've been arguing with my friends about your accent. They were saying you were Irish, but I stuck to my guns and said, you are Scottish. I love the language and culture. You Rock, Hollie!!
Beautiful voice!
Thank you. It’s been a while but I might hike hills more often! It felt good to sing again lol
Bless you for sharing your story, you've had a full life & willing to take chances. Thanks for singing a snippet, your talent evident. Love your accent too. Hope you never lose it. It's amazing you & hubby get to travel all over, I think most ppl would love it too. 😀 Hollie!
