  3. Such Energy in that space!!!! We have similar Energy here in the Outback Australia. I was blessed as a child to have months driving through before resorts and actual roads were put in.
    Also I drove around Australia by myself in 1993 (before my adventures to Canada and other places in the 90's/ 2000 when I was 22.
    Now at 52, even though I am settled i own a Van to take off on adventures. (I may have mentioned that it is in the shop as I hit a Kangaroo and did a bit of damage)

    Thanks so much for sharing such a personal special space. Give Frank a big hug, what a beautiful boy 🧡🐾🧡🚐

  4. Is this in Canada? Or Flagstaff? Also, did you paint your whole van green yourself, or did you have a shop do it? I was wondering how much that costs to have some place paint it. Sorry for all the questions. I'm a nomad egg right now, and I will hatch in two or three years, haha! The green van is a good way to "blend in," and the prepper food idea is great! I love the videos, thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

  5. Hi Amanda, lovely video,thank you. You are a hard worker, to walk 5 k’s there & back & carry the water too! Is Fantastic! It is so nice to see you keeping fit , you make me want to just take off, but this 75 year old does not have the fitness that I use to have 20 years ago, so I have to be content to watch you and others,so keep up the good work ,take care & keep happy,Elaine from Queensland, Australia.

  6. Another great video where you share what’s good for the soul as well as some awesome practical tips for living in a variety of environments. I love watching what you cook, I could practically smell the potatoes, onions, and peppers! Yum! A favorite of mine too.
    I’m realizing how much the PCT can be a great prep for off grid living. Finding the water sources and filtering is so helpful, for example, and having the courage to be alone outdoors. I got a couple hundred miles of it under my belt in 2019 and confidence was the biggest gift I walked away with. I’m going to make a second attempt in 2024 and hope to live a life similar to yours after that. Do you feel like the hike mentally prepared you for van life in some ways?

  7. The internet can be a great thing but unfortunately there is a lot of jerks out there, and you put yourself and you life on you tube for anyone to see, be safe. Also just want to say it’s not easy being green.

  10. I wish there is a way to let the world know who the $hit is without comprising your legal and personal situation, especially where there were "two other victims" involved. That guy is a filthy human predator–I would not have let him go with just words.

  14. I assume it’s the arthritis getting to Frank’s left rear paw/ankle. Good to know he has the best person in the world looking after him and he’s getting top treatment and care 💜💚🐶

  15. Hi lovely Amanda! So good you’re claiming that space for yourself and washing away the negative association. You were on a learning curve. I love Frank. I enjoy your videos very much and keenly follow along from my comfortable apartment in Albuquerque. Keep having sweet adventures being always careful with your unique self. Enjoy every moment with Frank, the wonder Dog! Love to you. Susan.
