My dad passed away 4yrs ago. He worked himself to death for my mom, myself and the “American dream”. After I grew up and moved out, monkey see monkey do. 30yrs of my life I’ve done the same. My mom passed 7yrs ago and dad 4. The dreams they had of living on the road after retirement, was nothing more than just that…a dream. Cancer took them both. My dad paid millions to insurance companies for health care and life insurance. When he turned 70, they canceled him. At 71 he passed away. Everything my dad and mom built, worked for, GONE! I had to sell in order to pay bills and the funeral. I’m not saying this for pity, I’m saying this because your absolutely right Scotty! Its all a big scam. The American dream is making someone else rich. At the end of the day, do what makes YOU happy! We are only here for a little while, then we are forgotten.
That to me is the sad part. Your soon forgotten, even by those who loved you or said they did. But their financial life marches right on past your memory
My Dad passed away a year ago. We found him dead on the bedroom floor. Your right. His body is there but he is not. His spirit hopefully went to heaven. When we go, so do your possessions. I’ve thought about living on my bike. However I had a family and kids. So I’m grounded. Love your videos.
I had a similar realization when my health took a serious turn in the wrong direction. I started putting focus on leaving things behind that I thought would be meaningful to family and friends. When my grandmother passed away, her stuff was converted into every red cent that could be achieved for someone else's desire. The sentimental value was essentially worthless. In another generation, no one will probably remember her name. It's kind of a tough lesson to swallow, but so true. We're raised to think those with the most toys wins. Those who have experienced life to the fullest and helped others relieve suffering are the real winners. The knowledge that you shared in this video definitely changed my focus and priority in life. Life is in the living. Legacy is for historiy's interpretation and more than likely, to just be forgotten. That's reality. Ride safe Scotty. Merry Christmas. 🙏
I watched your vidio and really appreciate your perspective. It's spot on .I watched my sisters swoop in and take everything they could.when my mom and my uncle passed .hardly got any pictures of my mom due to there greed.i so appreciate you responding to my text and thank you for taking a moment to respond .stay warm and if ever in need I got you frank in grafton
My parents always told me growing up that you can’t take it with you when you leave. Material things in life are just material things. Our richness and worth is the legacy we leave behind.
I’m sorry you were left to go through all the stuff, but I am glad you were left to go through all the stuff, that makes any sense you were there. I’m sure it does. You look good, sir. You look like you’re at peace with your life, and not too many people ever get that, you made the choice that is good for you and you perfected it, and your freedom looks pretty darn good, but not for most people you are right about your stuff, your stuff is only valuable to you once you are not here it becomes instantly not valuable to anyone, only thing you can do on this life that you can control be happy in your life, and do things that make your life better for you and those around you, be true to yourself, and don’t worry about things you cannot control, which is most thingsthanks for the video as always Godspeed
You will never see A U-haul being Pulled behind your last ride. Life is a journey life is a collection of memories. Scottie you gave her freedom and joy in Her last few months you're a legend.
Life is indeed a "grain of sand, on the beach of eternity". But it's of HUGE importance in it's micro second of time. There is a reason why we have it and experience it. It's a part of a grand design. Having said that, the point of this video, is spot on. When my wife decided that she didn't want to be married (after 22 years) after I healed somewhat, I took the opportunity to sell my ranch full of stuff and move into a simple truck camper. Some of my friends thought I was nuts. (Until they visited me at the campsite. Then there was envy). I never felt freer and unburdened. I giggled like a small child every time I climbed up into the little home on wheels. NOW, after moving to a 5th wheel, I feel like I'm collecting all over again. Now, at 70, (My first real "mid life crisis), I may just end up talking philosophy with STS around a campfire. I'll be getting there on my 96 Road King (that STS has helped me fix, via some of his carb/intake seal videos). I failed to meet you in Sturgis this year Scotty. My mistake. Your video's helped me get there AND after I got back. Thanks for being a blessing to that little gal brother. The true treasures that we collect are what we do for others in need. Hope to see you on the road while my "window" is still open.
Been following/watching your videos a number of years now,...and it wasnt until i moved and downsized 3yrs ago to fully understand what you have been preaching for so many years. I collected too much "junk" over 25 yrs, that served me no purpose but money out of my pocket. I am now 60yrs old and for the past 3years i have been applying your philosophy to my life... doing what i can to make it as simple as possible, so that I have more time for myself to live and experience life instead of just existing in it.... you are a living legend within the motorcycle community.... the definition of a real man who's life and its experiences can surely help those not involved in the motorcycle community see and understand the true meaning of living life with a purpose.... stay safe out there....!!!!
One of the best things about Scotty's lifestyle is he gets time to slow down & ponder what's truly important. Most people entrenched in the rat race are way too busy spinning the wheel to realise they've been sold a lie. They spend more time on deciding what pizza to order than thinking about life & where they're headed. Wise words Scotty!
Very true brother. I’ll be 69 in February and as I look back over my life I see how worthless many of my choices have been. I also see how worthless many of my possessions have been. Those things are fleeting moments which change rapidly by time, experience and circumstance. I realize more than ever the priorities of life are health and freedom in body, mind, spirit and soul. In addition, the connections and contributions we make with other life travelers is equally of value, and will live on after we’re gone.
One of the most comedic moments I ever witnessed was when scotty bold face telling medical nurse that jean didn't need toast just eat the bread contrary to her last wish- I wish I could say I could see it her face but she was already pretty far down. For that I congragulate you sir
Scotty as usual, you’re the man sitting here listening to you. Everything really doesn’t matter other than your loved ones like you said all these material things will turn back to dirt. My oldest boy just left to go to California yesterday. I’m thinking about doing a long road trip to visit. Wanting to do route 66. So I’m saving up for it now. Just wanted to tell your brother that I love you and I’m still watching you. You do what you do, buddy you do it well. Thank you, brother. 😊
I didn't see all of this until my Dad passed away. He worked and slaved his whole life( as did I). But he was so extreme in that anything he acquired, everything he acquired, he kept. He refused to part with it. It actually got worse as he got older. I would visit him and he would be wearing tattered clothing and I would ask him why he didn't buy some new clothes. He didn't want to spend ANY money. He was trying so hard to keep literally everything he ever earned or acquired. Then he died. And it was up to me to get rid of it all. And like you stated, it really was all worthless. It all stayed behind while he moved on to whatever is next. And I had to throw away pretty much everything that he thought was his life. Such a waste of time. Changed me. I started living. I hope to see you on the road someday. When I first heard about you I was in that old mindset. I thought you were foolish. I was wrong. You were right. God Bless.
Good video,,,,there will not be a u haul behind the hearse,,,,fact,,,, we are here to spread the Gospel of Christ! He works through people like you Scotty,, Believe That! Bless you!! Safe travels
Thank you Scotty! Yes, 68, my unsold paintings, musical instruments played, roof over my head, somewhat ease of comfort. hold me and where I’m at. Added mc, insurance and a place to keep it, prior child support. Hell’s Kitchen NYC. Appreciate you and over the years. Lost one of my daughters last year 44, but am reminded, time and time again, Life Goes On! Again, have only in meeting your bike, moons ago, prior watching your vids. Best of the warmth where you find it!
Hey scoot ,talk about timing,I needed a reminder of realty,as you no I live similar life on a bike in au , a little more adventure but same same . sometimes I think I'm strange but after rewatching yours I no what sets me free .thanks again mate 🎉
Started watching your videos years ago Scotty, I could always relate to you, I am nearly 64 now with a shit load of medical problems but still happily divorced, if I hadn’t copped in time I wouldn’t be here today, some days I forget and start taking life to serious again and that pain comes back, modern living is all a big con your appsoluty right. We were all brainwashed growing up, made fools of. At least we woke up, most people are still asleep.😊
Unfortunatly Agenda 21 is supposed to be completed by 2030, if their plans all go well, which they are. Maybe look it up on Odysee.com or Bitchute.com, possibly even utube.
Great video! We come into this world with nothing and we will leave this world with nothing. It’s the relationships that we make with others that enrich ours souls and that’s what really counts. As I grow older I don’t have many close friends or want many less has always been more in that area for me, a lot of friends costs too much time and we only have so much of that. Ride safe
You need to camp a week at the White tanks park in Arizona at the camp grounds, shower's electric ect. Beautiful place to spend the week during the winter , lots of trails and petroglyphs.
Man....That is so true about the more stuff you have the more time you will spend keeping that stuff up to par. I am newly retired & man... I spend so much time maintaining everything at home & my Evo & Twin Cam. But I am glad I retired on my terms in my early 50's. Great video!
You're absolutely right. Amassing the corporeal things God gives us in this life is not the purpose of this life. Our material things are just tools to develop and grow our souls so that we can prepare ourselves to be closer to him and the greater purpose he has for us in the next stage of our existence as humans.
I always wonder now what will come of my photos and paintings I have collected over the years, and then there is all my leathers I wore with pride.. I know no one in my family wants them or knows what to do with them.. When you know your time is coming what do you do with all your stuff.. I do worry about my one horse and cat left, both seniors.. A long life of memories for me.. I gave my Shovel to my brother, I know he has sold it, which makes me angry.. Nothing else to say. Peace out.....
Wise words buy a wise man , unfortunately I'm to lazy to nomad it , I'm fixed down in a small town in australia with my little bit of stuff , I m in my late 50s, , but ever since I was a teenager I've struggled with the knowledge , of knowing it's all tempary, I've tried being nomadic but I like my comfort to much , but in saying that , I get it , and all the power to u Scotty, ps if u were in Australia, you'd be welcome at my place anytime , because uve got the right type of attitude 😉👍✌
Ash to Ashes..dirt to dirt....we are made of the same minerals of the Earth n Stars.... Thanks Brother for keeping it real.. Be blessed in your travels... Luv Ya Cloudwalker
YO YO SCOTTY MAN MAY SHE REST IN PIECE WITH HER MEMORY / SPIRIT LIVES ON SHE IS AMONGST MY PRAYS SEEN HER FIRSTLY ON THAT BORROWED PANHEAD RIDE .THANSK YOU ARE AWARE SPIRITUALLY PLUS YOU RIDE TWO WHEELS . BE WELL BE SAFE HOUND DOG ROCCO AND WILD BILL BOSTON MASS SEND YOU OUR BEST. ❤🎉
I dont believe in coincedences Scotty you were supposed to be here at this time in her life I am glad you were becuase you are Genuine old school good people much love to you brother no more pain Jeany my condolences to all who knew and cared for her
You don't need a Therapist and/or a Psychologist, You need a motorcycle and the wise words of STS! Your choice is Freedom or No Freedom. Stuff (things) will not get you there! Cheers and FJB! 👍🏻🏍🇺🇸
Hey Scotty, great videos. I’m an Aussie so I don’t think in inches but I think of a timeline 1mm =1 million years , so the history of the planet is 4500 mm (14.7 Feet) so if humans have been around 1 million years them we are 1mm. And the ice cores that are 100thousand years old are telling use about climate change are only a tenth of a millimeter. It’s not a very big part of history and when we are gone nature will still do its thing. Cheers Rod
Tons of Wisdom there Scotty. Again, thank you for all you did for Jeany, great man. On another note, how do you not run into tons of critters in these places?
Ty scotty lost my wife too cancer, best n friend riden partner to say the least , steal own my Roadking 2011 the trips she missed our last was few thousand miles , speaking of stuff built a new shop 600 Sq ft like I shutbl the door single garage w rear storage unit, still to this day , I Empty my house , place all in storage on property. Now have zodiac a few morltorcycles , 3 vehicles . Sittn on all my equity , this is the yr let it all go. Turned 60 have a pen. Plus SS , REALLY LIKE TO SAY GOODBYE ITS BEEN TO LONG. TY SCOTTY.
This is a bit lengthy but i feel like it wouldnt hurt to share this story here. the amount of people ive seen who realize this stuff in there 40's, 50's, 60's, im glad i came to realize it young. i'll spare the long details, but i was in the hospice room when my grandfather passed, because i believe that if possible everyone should have somebody with them while crossing into that unknown. he was in a coma, with labored breathing and i watched him take that last breath, and its something i can only describe as the closest thing to watching somebody's spirit leave their body. He of course, wasnt there anymore. Like you say, where he went i have no idea. But that night i went back to our old house where my grandparents lived, and i grew up. I walked through the house, i still knew it well enough to walk though every room with my eyes closed, and when i did so, i could see every moment id ever had with my family. upon opening my eyes though, is when i realized that everything that my grandfather fought so hard to keep, wasnt his anymore anyway. The house itself, his carvings, his tools, the furniature, the drywall, plumbing and everything that he all did either by himself or with me. They were all just the things that kept his spirit moving, and at some point mine too. but now none of these things belonged to anyone. not him, not me, nobody.. it was then that i seriously began to question what i needed to keep my spirit moving, and happy. if i messed myself up working to afford a new house and a new car, would i be happy looking back on the fact i stayed working in a system i hated when im sitting there on my deathbed? I was raised to chase "the american dream" just like my grandfather did, and so thats what ive been doing up until now. I was a gamer, mechanic, car guy, now a biker(and still a mechanic), who is realizing now that i dont need any of the stuff that ive accumulated, all the things i bought just because friends had them. the more i searched, the more i realized the only thing my spirit needs is joy through freedom, and exploring, and seeing/experiencing things. As many say, there wont be a u-haul behind that hearse. And in some ways even my experiences will die when i do, no matter who i tell them too or share them with. For many people this would sadden them but for me its motivating. do what i please, because the day that i die, whenever that may be, it'll all return to the earth. The closer i get to the extreme side of that scale like your on the happier and more at peace i feel so, at this point the plan is to keep going, do a little soul searching, and see how things on the road work out, because ive been dreaming of a life like that since i was a child, besides, im young, i got time to screw up and catch myself if need be lol.
@ yeah man, thanks for reading it. Iiiim 19 lol, hoping to have switched my life around at least by 20 in June. Plenty of warmer weather to get into things and explore by then. It’ll give me time to finish helping out my mother with her home before I take off to do this as well.
.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️. Our heaven and or hell are what we are experiencing right now. After you die the journey is completely over. Man needed to ease the burden of death, grieving...etc. and created an afterlife fantasy.
You're right.... all my stuff unless it's for making art or music is useless.... I sold my record collection it took me years and I felt like part of me was gone I really did.... but they're all on Pandora almost.. I am 63 now I just want to do what you do but my stuff keeps me from moving and doing what I want to do..
Not sure the tent is safe in there .. but the flooring may be more level and less rocks .. unique lifestyle .. wise man I also feel like I’ve tended to be an extremist
We are spiritual beings and a meat suit trying to be humans.And that's not working out well at times. Anyway love is our goal... And compassion towards others. I am bad at the love thing, and I mostly love animals, but not humans, that much. You and her together was not a coincidence.
Job 1:20-22 KJVS Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, [21] And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. [22] In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
All this Bull Shit we collect in life is just that ,Bullshit ! My wife and I have downsized 75% at least since we sold our house in Florida. We are back in Ohio now to be close to our Grandkids. Renting a place now and pondering if come Springtime. If we are going to get on the Bike and disappear or not. I'm over a Mortgage,upkeep,property taxes and so on. We may buy a small Camper haul the Bike and enjoy what time we have left. Take care Brother
Our spirit exists to give us life, but when God's Spirit is invited to live within our spirit, it's more abundant and it's forever. God has created us to have eternal communion with him, but because of sin, separation from God happens. But because of Jesus' death on the cross means we can have that communion with God back because of reconciliation. God bless.
My earliest videos were all about that. Made so long ago, their not that well done but I reposted them here for those who want to use these methods. You have to scroll down to the earliest vids.
Read Shelley's Ozymandias: I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away."
I'm so indebt that I have to work and crazy job keeps me away from home 2 months at a time and I own a buisness as well on top of that that my wife runs while I'm gone I just want to ride my bike man I don't know how I even got in this place one decision at a time trying to get my BBQ buisness going idk if it's all worth it really considering just quiting and running my buisness full time but my bills are 5k a month before any gas food or anything else 😅😅😅
Some stuff like cameras is useful so that I can leave behind something that people can look at when I am gone... I'm as poor as anyone I just wanted to have stuff I would pick stuff up on the road I was a hoarder I got rid of a giant dumpster full of stuff and I still have a lot of stuff.... art that I have collected you will never find anywhere it might be more useful to someone else.... you don't need 14 guitars..... I know when I watch the hoarding show I am one of them.... I don't collect garbage animal feces,, but what good is my stuff if I can't do what I want to do?? I've been disabled since I was born I also worked... I have thought of just get up and leave all that f****** stuff like when I'm camping I don't need all that stuff I'm happier when I'm camping.. I bring too much stuff when I go camping I always want to be prepared..... I know you are right it's something to do with philosophy
Yo Scotty , do you have an email or a way to get in touch with you? I want to offer you something and talk to you about something else if possible. Let me know or I can give you my info and we can talk. Thank you
You got my deepest respect scotty she needed a friend and you were there for her. 👍

Buy this and feel alive is what the salesman says, the financer says pay me until you die. Scotty says live and be free. Thanks again Scotty
I’m sorry you were left to go through all the stuff, but I am glad you were left to go through all the stuff, that makes any sense you were there. I’m sure it does. You look good, sir.

You will never see A U-haul being
Pulled behind your last ride. Life is a journey life is a collection of memories. Scottie you gave her freedom and joy in Her last few months you're a legend.
Best video I've seen in a long time. The more you own, the more it owns you. Great video!!
Life is indeed a "grain of sand, on the beach of eternity". But it's of HUGE importance in it's micro second of time. There is a reason why we have it and experience it. It's a part of a grand design.

I'll be getting there on my 96 Road King (that STS has helped me fix, via some of his carb/intake seal videos). I failed to meet you in Sturgis this year Scotty. My mistake. Your video's helped me get there AND after I got back.
Thanks for being a blessing to that little gal brother. The true treasures that we collect are what we do for others in need. Hope to see you on the road while my "window" is still open.
Come camp with us at Sturgis this year if u like Cowboy. Its free. Ask and ill give u directions. scottykerekes@yahoo
This world is not our home, we are just briefly visiting.
Been following/watching your videos a number of years now,...and it wasnt until i moved and downsized 3yrs ago to fully understand what you have been preaching for so many years. I collected too much "junk" over 25 yrs, that served me no purpose but money out of my pocket.

One of the best things about Scotty's lifestyle is he gets time to slow down & ponder what's truly important. Most people entrenched in the rat race are way too busy spinning the wheel to realise they've been sold a lie. They spend more time on deciding what pizza to order than thinking about life & where they're headed. Wise words Scotty!
Good stuff, Scotty, thought-provoking observations that have plagued me for the entirety of my 73 years. Ride safe!
God bless you Scotty.
What a blessing to Jeanie to spend the last months of her life with a hero of hers.
Very true brother. I’ll be 69 in February and as I look back over my life I see how worthless many of my choices have been. I also see how worthless many of my possessions have been. Those things are fleeting moments which change rapidly by time, experience and circumstance. I realize more than ever the priorities of life are health and freedom in body, mind, spirit and soul. In addition, the connections and contributions we make with other life travelers is equally of value, and will live on after we’re gone.
RIP ..you were all her family..sorry for you're loss.
One of the most comedic moments I ever witnessed was when scotty bold face telling medical nurse that jean didn't need toast just eat the bread contrary to her last wish- I wish I could say I could see it her face but she was already pretty far down. For that I congragulate you sir
We are supposed to use things and love people, but instead we use people and love things.
Right on
Awesome Dude. Thats why we're such a sick society. We've got it all wrong, backwards.
That is a beautiful proverb , that belongs on a t shirt 😚
Very well put. Im gonna use that one.
That’s one thing we will have to answer for on judgement day !
Scotty as usual, you’re the man sitting here listening to you. Everything really doesn’t matter other than your loved ones like you said all these material things will turn back to dirt. My oldest boy just left to go to California yesterday. I’m thinking about doing a long road trip to visit. Wanting to do route 66. So I’m saving up for it now. Just wanted to tell your brother that I love you and I’m still watching you. You do what you do, buddy you do it well. Thank you, brother. 😊
Scotty your one of the best dudes on the planet never change.
I didn't see all of this until my Dad passed away. He worked and slaved his whole life( as did I). But he was so extreme in that anything he acquired, everything he acquired, he kept.

So glad she was a part of your life for a season....
Thank you Scotty! Yes, 68, my unsold paintings, musical instruments played, roof over my head, somewhat ease of comfort. hold me and where I’m at. Added mc, insurance and a place to keep it, prior child support. Hell’s Kitchen NYC. Appreciate you and over the years. Lost one of my daughters last year 44, but am reminded, time and time again, Life Goes On! Again, have only in meeting your bike, moons ago, prior watching your vids. Best of the warmth where you find it!
Sorry for your loss
@ thank you!
Hey scoot ,talk about timing,I needed a reminder of realty,as you no I live similar life on a bike in au , a little more adventure but same same . sometimes I think I'm strange but after rewatching yours I no what sets me free .thanks again mate 🎉
Its so sad when we die its just stuff that no one wants but meant something to us.
We are not a body with a spirit, we are a spirit with a body. Enjoy the ride.
Started watching your videos years ago Scotty, I could always relate to you, I am nearly 64 now with a shit load of medical problems but still happily divorced, if I hadn’t copped in time I wouldn’t be here today, some days I forget and start taking life to serious again and that pain comes back, modern living is all a big con your appsoluty right. We were all brainwashed growing up, made fools of. At least we woke up, most people are still asleep.😊
I think that's true James
Reminds me of the song by Kansas, "Dust in the Wind". Good luck on your journey
You are right on
This is so true
Yup there is a lot of truth in this. 8 more years and I can start cutting back.
Unfortunatly Agenda 21 is supposed to be completed by 2030, if their plans all go well, which they are. Maybe look it up on Odysee.com or Bitchute.com, possibly even utube.
Thank you for being there for your beautiful friend.....every get to NC again.....come camp....I have plenty of space.....
So very well put. Life is a journey how it happens is up to us.
Great video! We come into this world with nothing and we will leave this world with nothing. It’s the relationships that we make with others that enrich ours souls and that’s what really counts. As I grow older I don’t have many close friends or want many less has always been more in that area for me, a lot of friends costs too much time and we only have so much of that. Ride safe
so true Scotty, i leave the precepts as.better i can. And its. been a. peaceful journey. Thanks for all your precious words of philosophy
Your wisdom is beyond your years, grasshopper
You need to camp a week at the White tanks park in Arizona at the camp grounds, shower's electric ect.
Beautiful place to spend the week during the winter , lots of trails and petroglyphs.
The good old Bible says :The more you own the more worries you have.
Man....That is so true about the more stuff you have the more time you will spend keeping that stuff up to par. I am newly retired & man... I spend so much time maintaining everything at home & my Evo & Twin Cam. But I am glad I retired on my terms in my early 50's. Great video!
By the judgment of my spirit, you are one incredibly impressive individual...❤
Thanks for the reminder of things that are important...
You're absolutely right. Amassing the corporeal things God gives us in this life is not the purpose of this life. Our material things are just tools to develop and grow our souls so that we can prepare ourselves to be closer to him and the greater purpose he has for us in the next stage of our existence as humans.
Very well said. I’d never heard it put like that. Time lapsed camera on the world and all our stuff came from dirt and will go back to dirt.
Well said my man love your work 👏
Cheers ✔️ 🍻
Thanks for the reminder. It's so true.
I always wonder now what will come of my photos and paintings I have collected over the years, and then there is all my leathers I wore with pride.. I know no one in my family wants them or knows what to do with them.. When you know your time is coming what do you do with all your stuff.. I do worry about my one horse and cat left, both seniors.. A long life of memories for me.. I gave my Shovel to my brother, I know he has sold it, which makes me angry.. Nothing else to say. Peace out.....
Wise words buy a wise man , unfortunately I'm to lazy to nomad it , I'm fixed down in a small town in australia with my little bit of stuff , I m in my late 50s, , but ever since I was a teenager I've struggled with the knowledge , of knowing it's all tempary, I've tried being nomadic but I like my comfort to much , but in saying that , I get it , and all the power to u Scotty, ps if u were in Australia, you'd be welcome at my place anytime , because uve got the right type of attitude 😉👍✌
Another great video, Scotty. 👏
Your right, half a min. were here the next were gone and someone close to me has all my tools. lol
Ash to Ashes..dirt to dirt....we are made of the same minerals of the Earth n Stars....
Thanks Brother for keeping it real..
Be blessed in your travels...
Luv Ya

You don't need a Therapist and/or a Psychologist, You need a motorcycle and the wise words of STS! Your choice is Freedom or No Freedom. Stuff (things) will not get you there! Cheers and FJB! 👍🏻🏍🇺🇸
RIGHT ON!
"The journey of my spirit" hit me different this time watching.
Big 10/4 on that Good Buddy!
Good video man.
Most people find it intolerable to accept their own insignificance😅
Well said and so true scotty.
Never a truer word spoken.
Hey Scotty, great videos. I’m an Aussie so I don’t think in inches but I think of a timeline 1mm =1 million years , so the history of the planet is 4500 mm (14.7 Feet) so if humans have been around 1 million years them we are 1mm. And the ice cores that are 100thousand years old are telling use about climate change are only a tenth of a millimeter. It’s not a very big part of history and when we are gone nature will still do its thing.
Cheers
Rod
Thanks for the great video! Scotty when are you headed to Mexico?
Not sure
True observations ✔️
The mold has to be off the charts in that house

Very good video very interesting 👍
This is a bit lengthy but i feel like it wouldnt hurt to share this story here.
the amount of people ive seen who realize this stuff in there 40's, 50's, 60's, im glad i came to realize it young. i'll spare the long details, but i was in the hospice room when my grandfather passed, because i believe that if possible everyone should have somebody with them while crossing into that unknown. he was in a coma, with labored breathing and i watched him take that last breath, and its something i can only describe as the closest thing to watching somebody's spirit leave their body. He of course, wasnt there anymore. Like you say, where he went i have no idea. But that night i went back to our old house where my grandparents lived, and i grew up. I walked through the house, i still knew it well enough to walk though every room with my eyes closed, and when i did so, i could see every moment id ever had with my family. upon opening my eyes though, is when i realized that everything that my grandfather fought so hard to keep, wasnt his anymore anyway. The house itself, his carvings, his tools, the furniature, the drywall, plumbing and everything that he all did either by himself or with me. They were all just the things that kept his spirit moving, and at some point mine too. but now none of these things belonged to anyone. not him, not me, nobody.. it was then that i seriously began to question what i needed to keep my spirit moving, and happy. if i messed myself up working to afford a new house and a new car, would i be happy looking back on the fact i stayed working in a system i hated when im sitting there on my deathbed? I was raised to chase "the american dream" just like my grandfather did, and so thats what ive been doing up until now. I was a gamer, mechanic, car guy, now a biker(and still a mechanic), who is realizing now that i dont need any of the stuff that ive accumulated, all the things i bought just because friends had them. the more i searched, the more i realized the only thing my spirit needs is joy through freedom, and exploring, and seeing/experiencing things. As many say, there wont be a u-haul behind that hearse. And in some ways even my experiences will die when i do, no matter who i tell them too or share them with. For many people this would sadden them but for me its motivating. do what i please, because the day that i die, whenever that may be, it'll all return to the earth. The closer i get to the extreme side of that scale like your on the happier and more at peace i feel so, at this point the plan is to keep going, do a little soul searching, and see how things on the road work out, because ive been dreaming of a life like that since i was a child, besides, im young, i got time to screw up and catch myself if need be lol.
Thanks for that story Palmer. I personally came to this same conclusion at the age of around 30.
@ yeah man, thanks for reading it. Iiiim 19 lol, hoping to have switched my life around at least by 20 in June. Plenty of warmer weather to get into things and explore by then. It’ll give me time to finish helping out my mother with her home before I take off to do this as well.
.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️. Our heaven and or hell are what we are experiencing right now. After you die the journey is completely over. Man needed to ease the burden of death, grieving...etc. and created an afterlife fantasy.
Not sure the tent is safe in there .. but the flooring may be more level and less rocks .. unique lifestyle .. wise man
You are a wise man.
You're right.... all my stuff unless it's for making art or music is useless.... I sold my record collection it took me years and I felt like part of me was gone I really did.... but they're all on Pandora almost.. I am 63 now I just want to do what you do but my stuff keeps me from moving and doing what I want to do..
True stuff
Thank you friend.
Strong words.
so true..... cheers mate...
You too Trev. You're just getting into summer while the winter comes on here. A little cold.
@@scootertrampscotty yes summer is almost here... lots of rain at the moment..but at least it still warm.. cheers Scotty..stay safe... cheers
😂 bro, I remember the video of you camped out in your tent below that sharing wisdom.. I'm still grateful.
Sorry, the place is a wreck
Don't ya remember after nine eleven they told us if you don't go to the mall and max out your credit card the terrorists win. 😂
Not sure the tent is safe in there .. but the flooring may be more level and less rocks .. unique lifestyle .. wise man
I also feel like I’ve tended to be an extremist
We are spiritual beings and a meat suit trying to be humans.And that's not working out well at times. Anyway love is our goal... And compassion towards others. I am bad at the love thing, and I mostly love animals, but not humans, that much. You and her together was not a coincidence.
What country was your plan ticket to?
Job 1:20-22 KJVS
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, [21] And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. [22] In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Amen 🙏
Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
All this Bull Shit we collect in life is just that ,Bullshit ! My wife and I have downsized 75% at least since we sold our house in Florida. We are back in Ohio now to be close to our Grandkids. Renting a place now and pondering if come Springtime. If we are going to get on the Bike and disappear or not. I'm over a Mortgage,upkeep,property taxes and so on. We may buy a small Camper haul the Bike and enjoy what time we have left. Take care Brother
Go man!
Our spirit exists to give us life, but when God's Spirit is invited to live within our spirit, it's more abundant and it's forever. God has created us to have eternal communion with him, but because of sin, separation from God happens. But because of Jesus' death on the cross means we can have that communion with God back because of reconciliation. God bless.
Always wondered how you find places like that
My earliest videos were all about that. Made so long ago, their not that well done but I reposted them here for those who want to use these methods. You have to scroll down to the earliest vids.
@@scootertrampscotty thanks man. Maybe i'll get to run into you at Sturgis
Where is her Family?
It sounded like there was some rifts in the family.
Parents dead. Son autistic, daughter MIA.
Read Shelley's Ozymandias:
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
The Journey of our Stuff....
The late George Carlin was the great philosopher of Stuff.
Stranger in a Strange Land, Leon Russell.
We will turn to dirt, but I don’t think we were formed of dirt
I'm so indebt that I have to work and crazy job keeps me away from home 2 months at a time and I own a buisness as well on top of that that my wife runs while I'm gone I just want to ride my bike man I don't know how I even got in this place one decision at a time trying to get my BBQ buisness going idk if it's all worth it really considering just quiting and running my buisness full time but my bills are 5k a month before any gas food or anything else 😅😅😅
Some stuff like cameras is useful so that I can leave behind something that people can look at when I am gone... I'm as poor as anyone I just wanted to have stuff I would pick stuff up on the road I was a hoarder I got rid of a giant dumpster full of stuff and I still have a lot of stuff.... art that I have collected you will never find anywhere it might be more useful to someone else.... you don't need 14 guitars..... I know when I watch the hoarding show I am one of them.... I don't collect garbage animal feces,, but what good is my stuff if I can't do what I want to do?? I've been disabled since I was born I also worked... I have thought of just get up and leave all that f****** stuff like when I'm camping I don't need all that stuff I'm happier when I'm camping.. I bring too much stuff when I go camping I always want to be prepared..... I know you are right it's something to do with philosophy
Yo Scotty , do you have an email or a way to get in touch with you? I want to offer you something and talk to you about something else if possible. Let me know or I can give you my info and we can talk. Thank you
