Van Life is far from over! Chris and I will still be on the road for most of the coming years... but now I have a piece of desert to slowly transform into something that I have always dreamed of. I am SO excited to work with my hands again!! Love you all, thank you for being here 💛
🎉🎉🎉 congratulations sweetie that's awesome 😊 so proud of you doing this for yourselve. I am so happy for you! And it is wonderful that you have Elsa and Barron as neighbors and the wonderful community that they belong to as you know I will be as well.
Congratulations!!! When a place feels right you know. I just bought a place earlier this year. I was having so many emotions but things kept lining up. This was big purchase without my dad’s guidance he passed about 5 years ago. It’s such a serial feeling to walk out of the door and be like that’s it? Happy for all can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 Linnea & Akela you have a beautiful new life ahead of you ❤️ & wishing you a merry 🎄Christmas & a happy new year 🎉 2024, where dreams really do come true hunny well done 👏 it's so beautiful that land is really amazing ,all my love Linda Dunn from the UK 🇬🇧 😊 ❤xxxxx
I am so happy for you as a single woman land/home owner myself! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your journey with us ! Can’t wait to get my merch!
Congratulations Linnea! I recognize the excitement of this type of event, I bought my first property in 1989, a 118 acre old rocky farm near Cadott, WI. Over the 32 years that we owned it we planted over 100,000 trees, and grew our business and 3 kids there. Now, every time I drive by, I get a feeling of pride seeing the dense forest that we planted and nurtured. All the best to you as you create your bit of paradise on this land. Bob
When it comes to water you want to find the piece of land that has natural grasses the places that have more Sagebrush have less water. Look for the natural grasses even the deserts have water but it's not where the sagebrush is it's where the natural grasses are.
The vibes were already so strong because James & Doreen are involved! They've been unbelievably helpful and wonderful with Elsa Rae & Barron. So excited for you 🌞
I am so excited for you and proud enough to be your parent. I cried with you when your lights turned on that first time, and I applauded and cheered when you signed on the dotted line! May this be the first of many blessings for you and yours.
Something about the fact you bought the land from James and Doreen is just so right. I’m so happy for you all and thank you for being such an inspiration!
I cried tears of joy for you while watching this. We're strangers, but I feel so privileged to get to watch your life unfold. Watching another woman achieve and grow and share all these beautiful moments gives me so much hope for the future. You're so cool. Thank you for letting us in on your wonderful life. You are truly an inspiration & I cannot wait to hear & learn more about this amazing journey. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
When I started watching you & Akela years ago, I thought how wonderful van life & traveling the country would be. And yet in my heart I felt I would always want somewhere to come “home” to!! I am beyond happy for you, Linnea! This is the perfect next step. Your Dad is so proud of you! So happy the family is coming to be with you to enjoy this moment!! Congratulations! You are an inspiration. I’m 74 and remember when we women could only dream of such a thing! You deserve every blessing coming your way! Looking forward to sharing the journey with you! Love & Blessings, til next time! ❤🙏🏻🎉
I so appreciate that she added that! People don't seem to realize how not long ago, women weren't allowed to even purchase land, have a bank account, become educated, work, vote, etc. We were kept like property. Even our father's wealth wouldn't transfer to us, it had to go to the man we married. A lot of those men just married, took the money, and spent it - gambled it away, leaving the wife and mother bereft. At least that's what my POS g-grandfather did. Left us all in poverty by spending my g-grandmother's fortune. Sorry, tangent, but yeah, it means something, that mention.
I started crying with joy for you Chris and the babes. I’m so happy for y’all ❤ Your such an inspiration ❤ I am a Utah native and Native American from the Hopi : Paiute tribes ! Please bless the sacred land and thank the ancestors there and always give an offering in the 4 directions. You will see many blessings come from Mother Earth ❤ And always thank Mother Earth, Grandfather sky and the Sun 🌞
You need to get a water witch.💜 So happy that the land will have a human that will care and love it from now on. I’m Native American from NM so would like to say, Welcome to the neighborhood 🫶🏼❄️💜
As a mom of a very independent and strong woman, I absolutely adore your tenacity and determination. At the risk of sounding patronizing, I am so proud of you!
When I tell you your content saved my life, it did. You’ve given me inspiration and now I have something to look forward too in the future. Can’t wait for my dreams of a wild life to come true ❤❤❤
I'll take the high mountain desert with the breathtaking views any day. My view is of the Selway Bitterroot wilderness. I'm about to rent out the house and hit the road in my Sprinter. The building up process definitely takes longer than what you think, LOL especially when you're older than dirt. Is fun to walk the property and have the dogs pick up a fresh shed left by the mule deer. I'm a well witch let me know if you need help
So Amazing Linnea! I am so happy for you! Incredibly beautiful land. Thank you for saying the part about woman only 50 years ago not being able to buy land on their own...that is so CRAZY.
The previous owners seem like such sweet people. They genuinely seemed excited for you and your new adventure. I’m sure that made it even more special. Congratulations!
I've owned land, and for you and Akela I am so very happy, for there is no better road to happiness than having your own piece of the American Dream and all it entails. God bless you all.
18:42 i love this perspective Linnea! Im part Ojibwe from the great lakes region in Canada and women have always been our equals. It was rich of the European women that arrived who weren't allowed an education, weren't allowed to vote, weren't allowed to drive etc to call our women, who had full autonomy for hundreds of generations, savages. I love your land😊
Yayy! Congratulations, Girl! I flew out from Green Bay to N. Ca and bought 20 acres of bare land to homesteead so I share in your excitemnt! Enjoy the ride, sweetie, there's nothing like being a landowner to implement all the things you've learned and continue to learn.
I don't comment often, but I just had to this time, you had me in tears , I'm 48, and what you said about women really touched me. It's hard to believe that only 50 years ago such a law was passed giving us equal rights, that was startlingly to me! I'm so very proud of you, I can't wait to follow your journey, I know you will do great things❤
This video is so full of life and truth and emotion… just a pleasure to watch and feel included in this very personal experience… thank you so much ! And big congrats!
Congratulations! I'm so proud for you and Chris. Y'all are an amazing couple and never forget the love between you. May the Great Spirit walk with you during this ride of your life!
Congratulations! Good job running down all of those right-of-way issues. I'm sure it got frustrating, but that is important stuff! Thank you for sharing your journey!
An easement on your property. Who knows you may find new friends in the people driving through. As a single mom who owns her own home etc., can you believe that there was a time not to long ago when a women wasn't allowed to own a credit card???? Congratulations i wish you the world.
Hey darling Congratulations I must admit I got emotional myself watching your video I was imagining myself in your position and I started to fill up Made me realise the way I would like to go But I am so happy for you and your wee family ❤❤ xxxxxxx

in NM, we used to look for ocotillo cactus and anthills...and work with a dowser, or our own rods (or both)
