    Here's the headlight restoration kit I used! It's only ~$6 and it works great.

    'hi Elsa&Barron&Camp...I used to be homeless for more than 35+years..to me it was a vacation..i didn't even have a tent until the end of that time..I slept on benches and cardboard carried my food with me and one little blanket packed inside a small backpack..to survive snow..bitter temps..and rain..&extreme heat(lots of ice water lots)..it was pretty easy to survive..I learn so much about myself..so much joy and so much freedom..and learned alot about insects,dogs,birds,eaglesetc.squirrels,bunnies,baby dragonflies,bees,wasps,rats,mice and bobcats....my fav bird was the robins..they were my best friends..not to mention an occasional blue Jay and a few hummingbirds..who brought me joy when I was sad lonely and crying..but all in all everyday was planned from sunup to sun down and through the rain...during my free time I was enrolled in life college for free..'

    I discovered your channel as a recommendation on my TH-cam homepage. I've continued to watch because I'm fascinated by your lifestyle, and how you're choosing to live; and while it's not personally feasible for me to live off grid, I have found that watching you guys had made me a lot more mindful in the things I choose to purchase or have in my home. 😊

I have always liked the idea of camping but not the reality. I love my bedroom and bathroom. Don't like to be w/o them esp. at my age. These young'uns are teaching me so many things I never heard of. I'm old but I still like to learn about new stuff and ideas. Thank you Ella and Barron (and Kamp).

I get the whole outside bathroom bit. But still believe I'd want to have a seat sometimes. Simple thing when the weather permits...a wooden frame off the ground with a seat attaches, add a hand trowl to dig a little hole in the ground - put the "seat frame" over the hole and there you go porta potty for camping. You can still "poop in the woods" but why not have a seat while doing it....PATENT PENDING.

    With growth comes attention, more attention is also not the barometer for success. Fame is not success. Too often fame is perceived as the ultimate form of success, but again, success it is not. What drew me to y'alls channel was, well, y'all. The beautifully filmed and tastefully edited clips of scenery are wonderful, they inspire a sense of ease. Current culture wants us to feed into the anxiety of what we don't have. By sharing your scampy tales you show yourselves living the opposite, living out of gratitude instead of greed. Of quality, not quantity. Keep creating content at a pace that is appropriate for you, we'll be here. Oh-
    And from me to you both (and kamp lol): a most sincere thank you. I spent all last year with my nose to the grindstone and having your videos to look forward to allowed me to imagine a world outside my service jobs.

    Can honestly say, THANK YOU for not posting videos with 'click-bait' pix. I've seen too many TH-cam channels sink to that level, and to be honest, that's when my subscription typically ends as well. No matter the content, seems when the Channel sinks to click-bait level, content suffers as well. I'll continue to watch, to see where the direction goes, typically, not in the direction I'd hoped for. Love your channel, love your content. Thanks to both Elsa and Barron, and of course Kamp!

    Came back to this video to say that your conversation about growth really resonated with me. I started uploading TH-cam videos because I wanted to remember stuff I did and maybe share some useful tips with others who have similar interests. I don't have time to make it my full time job or even a part time job, and never intended to. Yet, in the past few years, I've gotten so wrapped up in a stupid idea that with TH-cam (and social media) I am "unsuccessful" because it's growing slowly, or the thought that I'm a failure with making videos because I have fewer than 1,000 subscribers, etc. Then your conversation came along and it was exactly what I needed to hear - I didn't start this project to have "growth" (at least in terms of metrics), I started it as a hobby! Thank you for sharing a refreshingly different, and much needed, perspective. By the way - your unique POV is what led me to subscribe.

    Barron and Elsa - I respect that you are aware that you are influential to a growing audience, growing far beyond what you had ever expected. And that you want to treat that honorably. Ya never know what life is going to bring. Sometimes you find yourself in a role you never expected and I appreciate your values in how you're handling the place you've reached, even tho it was a bit unexpected. Carry on - you're doing great 😎😊

    Thank you for choosing not to post videos just to click bait. Your content when it comes out is more genuine that way, and that is probably why it’s so successful.

    I really enjoy seeing how you live your life without having all the "stuff" that is expected of us. Life is so precious and you two are living it to the fullest without feeling like you need all the stuff that society expects us to have. Please keep making this wonderful content. It makes you think about what is really important in life and what is not. Aka the stuff.

    You guys are so cool. I’m envious of your lifestyle but at 70 yrs of age I’m unable to move as well as you two. That’s why I’m so happy to see two such beautiful people taking care of themselves through good nutrition, exercise, and a stress free life. I enjoy watching the marvelous places you find to camp. Please continue to keep and old guy dreaming.

      I only use FB for business stuff, it's such a depressing time suck if I try to use it for personal reasons. With Twitter & TH-cam I've curated them to focus solely on small educational channels and travel. I've worked hard to keep the horribleness of the internet-at-large at bay. Still a time suck though 😉

  • @insaynbcr
    @insaynbcr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Barron and Elsa, I wanted to say that I really appreciate your approach towards "TH-cam success". Keeping life simple and uncluttered is absolutely a desired lifestyle many would love to live. Even I would love to live that kind of life, had I not started a family 24 years ago. Their wants, needs and life choices are not necessarily in line with the simple and uncluttered ideas I would choose, so we comprimise and doing fine. In the mean time, I get to feel the feeling and live the life in short bursts when we get out and go camping in nature, and kayak fish in the ocean of the PNW.
    Much respect to you two (and Kamp) for your choice to live life to the fullest in a small trailer parked in some of natures most picturesque locations. Keep up the good work.

    I absolutely love your way of living, the way you 2 take care of your entire Self, mind body & spirit, in addition to taking care of each other, the Scamp and Kamp, it's incredibly inspiring.
    I've been working towards becoming my Ideal Self for a long time, it's not easy and sometimes I start wondering why I'm even trying to make these changes. Then I watch your videos and when I see real people already living the life I aspire to it really revs me up, energizes my motivation, and helps remind me why this is important.
    I don't have ppl in my life that understand this way of life, my family think I"m a weirdo, and truth be told I kind of am, but at least I know I'm not the only one :)
    Thank you Elsa and Barron for what you do, I think I speak for all of your fans when I say we appreciate you!

    Something to consider, having a compact fire stove in a small space even with sparing use would introduce ash and smoke particles inhaled into your lung similar to a pack of cigarettes each day. Ash and smoke are obviously carcinogens. Many firefighters, BBQ grill masters, etc. suffer emphysema, lung cancer, and are more susceptible to flu and pneumonia.
    I know there is not a cost-effective way to heat your trailer while boon docking, so I just wanted to leave a note of caution. You may want to visit a pulmonologist (aka lung doctor) as part of your annual health checkups to make sure you have early detection of any potential pulmonary issues. Love your videos, so just wanted to make you aware of the risks.

    I am almost 70 years old now, and retired, I did alot of traveling when I was younger, driving all over the united states, massaging people on the way to earn money, we didnt have any of this, computers, cell phones, youtube , social media i would walk up to strangers and start a conversation, and tell them i am traveing across the United states and Canada, I am earning money by massaging,,, I would get massages every day. Now I am just stationary, here in Palm Desert, I love watching these channels, it makes my day,,, along with exercises I follow for seniors on youtube, and healthy recipies, I love watching you guys, no matter what you are doing. Its inspiring.

I've struggled lately with feeling successful in my small business while trying to promote growth. But I think I'll step back and focus on personal growth instead, and maybe the business growth will just happen naturally. Thank you for making wonderful, positive videos - they are definitely a light in the darkness!

    As an older Caveman dude at 58 yrs...I am so so proud of you both. It gives me Hope for the future when I see 2 young adults going their own way; not following along with the masses but setting their own course. My advice is to never loose your perspective as to the "Why" both of you started this Minimalism Nomadic type day lifestyle. You are my Favorites among the entirety of TH-cam when it comes to lower 48 Traveling channels. Your channel is so Authentic; you both come across as Genuine people in that what your video shows is most likely the Real You. I literally can Not tolerate these gazillions of Nomad YT channels that are Very scripted to the point where these YT-er's are writing the script to make $$ and garner Fame and even Fortunes. Their Videos are Tailored to some Criteria and Algorithm, and it's quiet obvious too.....My advice; as if you both needed advice from this 58 year old caveman;' is that I would Love to see some of your Mistakes, Problems, Bad Decisions, and Foibles. If you were to do this then that right there is singling yourself out on YT. All we ever see in these Other successful Van-lifers, and Nomads; that are as Fake as Fake can be. It's not always Rainbows and Unicorns....Please Stay Yourself...Ya'll are a category of your own..You Write your own Book day to day !!!!
    Oh BTW I loved this topic you talked about today. What is "YOUR" own definition of Success ? Living a Life of your own control is much more advantageous than the get married, have kids, both adults work, never seeing their kids, eating Pre-Packaged Food/Junk; along with the 2 car garage and a mentality that you must one-up your neighbor....sad ,very sad....But NOT you 3 !!!....
