    This is one of the most extraordinary 15 minute offerings from CRVL - solar panels, water filters, tents - there's lots that are the "nuts and bolts" of nomad living. But these interviews and stories - this is the soul of nomad living.

    I hit the road six months following bypass surgery. I also have mental health issues. Hitting the road was the best thing I ever did for myself.

    When that nice lady talked about her friends coming to her and camping around her in a circle during her difficult time I was overwhelmed with unexpected emotion. I'm glad she was able to pull through.

    Go to a HOWA caravan in the Arizona desert (Quartzite). You will meet a group of nomads and find “your people”. It has made all the difference for me.

    I love what that one lady said...."it was hard, but it was temporary "....that applies to SO many situations in Life....EVERYTHING is temporary. Whenever you're experiencing something hard, remind yourself, "this too shall pass"...it may take a while, and it may hurt, but it WILL pass. I once heard an excellent saying: "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem "....seek help...it IS out there (I've never been suicidal but my ex-husband ended his life by suicide). I personally never feel lonely when I'm in my tiny-home-on-wheels, on the road or boondocking....I feel alone when I'm in a room with family members (sad to say that). I too am an introvert so when I want human connection, I find it, and when I want to just chill out in my tiny-home-on-wheels, I do (along with my dog and cat; so I'm never truly alone). Thanks for Sharing this vlog.

    This blew me away. I was a full time nomad for only a few years and went back to sticks and bricks. Now, I’m missing it greatly for so many of the points made in this video. I’m convinced I need to go back to it, at least part time. Thank you so much for sharing this. I met more people that I connected with than I do now. I really believe my personality was meant to be a nomad. ✌🏼

    Oppression can drive the wise one into madness. I live in a house, in a small town with neighbors and still feel lonely. When I travel to a distant forest and spend the day, I am never lonely. You see, the animals that live there always give me company, more than I ever expected, and I am always at peace. It is satisfying to hear everyone else's travels in this life. Great job Autumn!!

    Glad you started this series addressing loneliness! For me as a woman in the city in an apartment, I do get a chance to meet people volunteering...but the problem I consistently face is that when I want to get together and make a new friend, they say "I can't I have kids". The people are just not interested in making new friends or don't have time. I'm hoping to find that deep friendship connection when I go on the road.

    Humans aren't meant to live in a society where we work all day just to pay the bills and follow the rat race into a gutter. Being more connected with nature (because we are nature) is where we belong. I miss being a nomad. I'm happily married now but my wife could never live this way which is ok. It's not for everyone. But I will say, I had the most friends and wonderful experiences while I was nomadic. It greatly improved my mental health in ways medication couldn't.

    I don't consider myself a loner, but I'm perfectly happy being alone for extended periods.
    As a young man I backpacked by myself all over the world. 35 countries and principalities on 6 of the 7 continents.
    Sometimes I would hook up with other travelers, but if I didn't, I was perfectly happy by myself exploring new surroundings, then back at my camp with my journal or a good book in the daytime or a campfire at night.
    I could have been very happy living a life like Dick Proenneke.

    Bob, I really appreciate you and all you’ve done for humankind. This video has me in tears. I relate so strongly to the message. I’ve spent the past 28+ years feeling alone. I would try to connect by getting involved in various groups but, even after participating for a few years, I never felt connected. These days, I want nothing more than to become a nomad. My husband was starting to warm up to the idea but then his health started to fall apart. Right now, he’s battling cancer. I’m scared of losing him and I feel more lonely than ever.

    REO Speedwagon, 1976 "Keep pushin'". almost 50 years ago. Listen to the lyrics, even if you don't like rock. This has been in my head since I wore a younger man's clothes. Nothing new, an age old dilemma for people. Me too, but I'm old and still hear it. Loneliness is a mindset. Turn, and keep pushin'. Thanks Bob

I can say now how good I feel about myself. I think once you focus on your problems and are willing to change things just fall into place. I owe a lot to Bob after discovering him. He really opened up the possibilities that I have and gave me hope. We all need hope so keep on keeping on. Much love to you all.

    It's been studied that forced isolation is directly related to all the negative things that can occur when alone( kidnap, shipwrecked,wildernessed,solitary confinement etc.) Yet voluntarily it's been noted a peculiar crowd of folks find bliss with no problematic concerns of loneliness or mental instability.A sailor once solitarily competed in a race across the world and disappeared.When they caught up to him months later he said he just forgot about the race when he reached the Mediterranean...it was so beautiful there ,he made it is home.

    As good as it gets. Lots of people think running off to the desert, the forest to be alone is the answer. I, personally have found, like Brian said, if you want to be alone, the big city is the place to be. There, for the most part nobody gives a damn about you or your life. Conversely, in the desert or forest when people see you they want to chat.
    If you want community, living as a nomad, counter- intuitive as it is, is the way to go.
    Great video!

    I lived outside- alone- I was without a house for 7 years. I was alone all the time but never found myself lonely. Now I have a home and lots of community connections. But I miss my time alone in the world out in the world traveling, often by foot. But I saw the world because I was moving slower. Even tho it was often scary and very dangerous where I found myself surviving as a homeless person I found me and I’m very comfortable with who I am today.

    Dear Bob Wells. This is a most beautiful film and so important. I cannot drive so i will never be in a van but instead i ride a bicycle in nature. I am trying to balance my life between a nomadic spirit and i need for a place to keep me grounded. I am happiest in nature and never feel lonelt there when by myself. I love your channel and learn so much about nomad life in the USA. Kind regards The Water Cyclist😊

    There are more dogs than children in the US right now. I think that speaks to how folks cure loneliness. I'm married, never had kids but always have dogs. Can't imagine life without our dogs. I try to be the kind of person my dogs think I am and that means being kind to others. If you are kind, people will be drawn to you. The lady whose friends "circled the wagons" when she felt distressed and fearful must be a kind person. ❤

    I hope this video goes viral to show how things can improve when you take control, immensely valuable to anyone pondering a change.

    This is an incredibly important topic....mental health. Normalizing it is deeply beneficial for all and makes it more comfortable to reach out.
    I hope you continue this broad topic.
