A Cozy Van Life Morning 

It feels SO GOOD to be back in the van with Akela!! We have settled into a wonderful rhythm of early mornings and slowly life has fallen back into place after so much travel. Thanks for being here guys, love you!

Aren’t you so lucky?! Living the life of a nomad-homesteader…We’re lucky too! The stories you tell and the footage you share are so heartwarming, a touchstone in a hectic world. Thanks Linnea, Akela , Kobuck and Chris ❤

"You still haven't met all the people you will love, or be loved by" I needed this, today. Thank you! At the end of the month, I am embarking on my own nomad life, in my converted shuttlebus. This quote settled deep within me, this morning, and has calmed my spirit. ❤

You're gonna have to explain how you wrap your hair at night and undo it in the morning. I just started playing with robe ties and am interested in other ways to do it. TIA 😉

Thank you for allowing us in!

EVERYTHING IS BUTTERFLY 🦋 AMD SUNSHINE ☀️ 🎀🌱 Adores you.

I laughed so hard when Akela pushed the dehydrator over. 😃

You’re always such a breath of fresh air! Idk you but I’m proud of all your endeavors and the energy you have for this life! Such an inspiration 🫶🏻

You could do a cook book with both your recipes and doggie recipes.

Really enjoy your videos about your lifestyle and adventures. Not sure why I can't get people to watch my videos, I appreciate the quality of your content. Really well done. I wish you great success in your endeavors and adventures.

Watching your videos makes me so calm. And the feeling and belief that I'll be able to build a van one day and live a beautiful life in the nature, it's so beautiful. And you have given me so much inspiration💛 Love you and your videos!

I was with Akela "Why up so early mom?" But as you explained and videoed the amazing sunrise it made sense! Quite and calming ❤❤❤❤

I can tell the Peru trip had a big impact on you. We all need those resets in our lives. Great video! Thanks!

Your breakfast looks absolutely wonderful!

The fireplace looks so cozy I love fire ✨

This reminds me of when you made your first trips with Akela and Togo. I loved all those videos and especially this one. Great to see you back home, all together.

moveable battery power station is so cool!!!

Your videos are getting more and more amazing each time. So poetic!🙌✨️🤘 Our Froy dog is huffing at the coyote howls in your video 😂

I don't love consuming content first thing in the morning, but I'll let myself watch yours! Lol. It's so slow and mellow. I watch it while I make breakfast and have my morning coffee. Thanks for that 😊

A beautiful video of everyday things…. So appreciate your spirit.✌🏻

Watching the sunrise is such a magical moment that just starts the day off in a different way. Rainy days when I cant watch it rise, almost feel as if they never really begin. & Yay for you! I just started pottery lessons a few weeks ago. I love it! I have been wanting to do it for SO many years I am mad at myself for not taking the time before now. I bet you could make some fantastic clay out of the dirt on your property!

lol I made a general rule in life to never make plans or decisions after my morning coffee 😂 because I indeed am not that person majority of the time.

I think y'all are amazing! I absolutely love watching you and Chris in all that you do. The pups are beautiful too! Stay as y'all are and change only when it makes your hearts happy ❤

You will love the dehydrator for prepping hiking food and keeping shelf stable vegetables for soups, etc.

Now I want a dehydrater & make my own jerky. Inspiring THX

I'm fulltime vanlife, also I'm looking at Bluetti. Thanks. I loved Peru. I crave off-grid life. Sometimes I bounce back into Grandma's life with the kids. Less is more for me.

They are so sleepy 😂 the cutest thing

Yaass lately I keep thinking what an amazing thing it would be to eat a bowl of yogurt with berries and honey made from my own milk cows, garden and bees.. Next level would be using the bowl and spoon I made as well. It's like existing in a fractal spiral of self love 💜

Another beautiful video!

So nice tuning in and watching your journey. Thank you for the effort you go to making these vids. What a fun life 😃👍

Thank you for sharing your exciting adventures as well as your simple moments. You’ve been missed!

Girl I feel that. My whole life is based off of decisions I made when I was feeling good 😂 at least yours are self improvement lol about half of mine are

very good/thanks much

Girl, your videography blows my mind. I've been watching you for a couple of years now, and you've grown so much. It's so inspiring. Like, I can't even describe how your cinematography makes me feel. You're gifted. Like, it's not easy & you make it seem so natural. Ugh. Moved to tears almost every time I watch one of your videos. Also, Akela is the perfect pup. Yeesh. 🫶🏽

Another beautiful video. Peru had an amazing effect on you. I often get up to see the sunrise but haven't made it a daily thing yet. Akela was just curious but I knew that was going to happen. 😅 You are doing awesome things I aspire to do one day. Glad you're back. Have a wonderful week ❤

You should put a large wooden shed on the property and transform it into a house or space to hang to get out of the vans and elements. A bigger kitchen

I know the area you were staying in....such a good time of year to be there! I miss your "blooper" outtakes at the end of your videos!

I think this was my favorite video that you've made!!!!

Again, beautiful

Love the video, also your turquoise jewelry is beautiful ❤️❤️

Akela makes me laugh so much. Thanks for the beautiful video, Linnea. Good luck with marathon training.

So glad ur back , I find a relaxing feeling watching ur videos 😊

This video was just what I needed this morning ❤

Love ! ❤ The coyotes were cool...

Always loved song dogs !

Wow beautiful scenes of coyote 😍

It's beautiful where you are! Great video! Very inspiring! ❤

Great to see you back! You and Akela look so vibrant, so healthy! The multi cooler is so cool, i just know its an amazing acquisition. Excited for the adventures to come! ❤

You're an earth angel! I love the life you're living and the insights you have. Be blessed!

I wish you would make an hour long video. I would watch it and that is something I would love. You’re great at creating entertaining videos. ❤

Rustic van. Cool

What a beautiful video again!

That pan that you use to cook everything in must be the most well seasoned pan on the face of the planet. I love it!! Is it cast iron?

You made my cry again dang it lol 😭😆😆 i am so happy your hands get to touch clay and for a good use ...

As soon as you set the dehydrator on top of the power station, I said to myself , that's going to fall . It just had a little help 😉

An inspiring video thank you Linnea! 🙏

I greet the sunrise every single day and it's trulymy favorite part of the day! Love your videos so much! Thank you! 😊

I feel uplifted and inspired when I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing life with the dogs, the outstanding countryside, and the occasional glimpses of Chris, who, by the way, has the most amazing voice. More please. From Claire, an old lady in England!

As soon as you sat that dehydrator on top of the Bluetti and walked away, I yelled “nooo”! Because I knew one of the pups would knock it over. Even my cat would have knocked that over. It was too tempting.

Living the good life your own way is amazing.

L: You didn't even taste it! A: More!

I have a white shepherd that looks identical to Akela her name is Pearly, we traveled across America in our little guy max trailer and when I see you wake up with her and she’s such a baby doll it warms my heart cause they are our big baby’s! No other feeling to be in a beautiful secluded area hearing nature and the sun wake you up and have a bed hull of Sheppy and cuddles and love! Sending So much love to you and everyone all around you ❤ 🐾

This was so peaceful and warming. Needed this calm today. Motivates me to just get in my car and go! Definitely going to spend the next 6 months saving up and then hitting the road in the fall and just following the weather. Thank you for this inspiration ❤

Like taking a deep breath and seeing a familiar friendly face, Thanks, Linnea for the post.

The desert is so beautiful. Reminds me of my cousins place. They live off grid in Arizona. Such a pretty sunrise. You really caught the mood!!!

The coyotes!!!!🥹

Good vibes ❤

so love your future projection that is so realistic. This is retrospective as have seen your creations since. Very impressed by you artistic ability - jealous ...not 🙂 aussie style - love ya!!

Solar going out made for a great cozy shot. Coyotes were amazing and looked very healthy. Can't wait to see what else you capture on video in the early mornings.😍😘❤❤❤🐾❤🐾 Nice thumbnail too👍

Thanks. Sister. Cowboy john norco California horse Town USA 🇺🇸 ♥️

I love the fireplace 😍

Yes I’ve noticed that about you Linnea, you love early mornings, and you love wild life the animals I mean, I love to see you in your element, that’s why your videos are so interesting to watch thanks for that 👍❤

Gotta share that hair trick… pretty please!😂

Just wanted to say thank you!been watching you for a while now and helped inspire me alongside other RU-vidrs to do this myself. I do not live in my van. I just use it on long weekends but now I’m making my own videos so thank you 🙏

Love the videos always look forward to seeing them im from Ontario Canada Van camper

You inspired me to spend time with the sun, too. I’m loving that time by myself!

Thank you for another great video! I enjoy seeing how you live the van life experience and incorporating daily goals or desires.

Thank you for sharing your sunrise with us.❤

You looked so primal there at the end, eating your jerky in a squat, popping up when someone came past lol very cute. Akela the little mischief maker!! Such a cool video and a real treat to be invited in to see your day-to-day living. Thanks Linnea ❤❤

Im beyond grateful n thankful that U have allowed me on this journey n adventure with you. Your stories n pictures are amazing n so breathtaking. Thank U . Safe Travels Always. God Bless Ya'll. Mucho Love from your friend in Michigan, Tam ❤❤❤❤

I hope to do this someday

What a wonderful video. So peaceful and grounding. 😊

Glad your trip was so great. Happy yo see you all back in desert, and read your story once more. Thank you❤

Very lovely and powerful video, including the music theme. Dreamy for sure and inspirational. I love your forth-forwad way without any sensationalizing stimuli. Just pure-n-Natural. It's a breath of Fresh Air 😊🥰😊.

This made my whole nervous system relax and was the reminder that I needed. My cattle dog Callie would have been ALL over that jerky. What a good girl Akela!

What a cosy morning 🥰

What a beautiful view

Linnea, I’m glad you’re back making videos. I hope to get my van in the next month or so. I won’t be a full time van dweller but I want to do some traveling. One thing I’m really concerned about, how terrible are the bugs and other critters? Do you find things like scorpions or tarantulas in your van? I’m literally terrified of spiders and I just cannot wake up with a tarantula in my face. Also, what about poisonous insects and snakes? I don’t imagine there is any real way to keep them out completely but there have got to be some tips & tricks you’ve come up with, considering all of the traveling you do! I want to see the desert but I’m thinking maybe I should do day trips to places where those creatures are in abundance! I’m not afraid of many things but arachnids are my kryptonite!

Great video. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you sweet Linnea for another beautiful video❤

Thank you for beeing you! ♥️🙏😇

Thank you!

I love your land and good luck to you❤ I live in Florida east coast. I’m more than a few occasions in this last two years. The coyotes in my area are attacking dogs…. Especially if there are two or more coyotes. We had a pack of five who ran rampant through five different trailer parks killing three dogs in about 20 cats. I won’t get into the graphic details of what they did to these pets, but it was the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen. Please be careful with your dog, even the two of them. If there’s more coyotes than them they will come after your dogs and you. That’s right the owners got attacked running away after they killed their animals. Please be careful on your property sweetheart. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that they came after me I had to run into my mobile home. They were hiding behind my car waiting for me to come out my front door. and this was in an urban setting. Where they get a lot of food every day.😢 love watching you guys and so happy for you to be in such a beautiful place. You’re very lucky.😊🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Keep jerky in a sealed jar not a plastic bag it will sweat in the plastic bag and go moldy good job good video keep up the good work and take care❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Hello Dear. As and old man at 57 you give me hope. I used to be ashamed living like this. I asked God why am I living like this. And then he showed me a bunch of videos. Like you. Thank you my lord Jesus christ. He is using you. Even though you don't know it I pray you find christ one day he created everything you see outdoors..cowboy john norco California horse Town USA ❤

Can you If you're comfortable share more about your training through or running in your half marathon I would love Learn how or see how Or get some Encouragement Thank you so much for your beautiful videos You have such a beautiful heart and soul and I just you're an encouragement to me to get out and do the things that I dream of doing at 37 I had a stroke and I'm about 7 months out from that and it's really altered my thoughts about life and instead of wanting to do things actually getting out and doing them my best friend is my shepherd Malinois mix boy named Simba I love your videos and I thank you so much for taking the time to make and post them and just congratulations on your property I'm praying that all the things that you dream of and want in your life come to fruition

Wanted to drop an appreciation comment to you Linnea. I love your content. Your vlogs in Peru were magnificent.

My grandmother use to make jerky when i was a kid. she also made dehydrated fruit snacks. i loved those! kiwi, lemons, apples, water melon, you name it n she had a bunch of gallon bags full for me every time we visit. you should try it. this video reminded me of those times as a kid cooking with my grandmother. Thanks for that!

I love your stove. I just gifted my vintage presto log cutter to a friend because I decided that she needed it more than me, but I can highly recommend trying to snag one if you can. Quiet, safe and clean. Can be used inside with no worries (important in my very soggy neck of the woods). I can't post a pic but it's a metal hoop that you slide the log into with a lever arm that pushes a point into the log and pops off a nice disc any width you want. No bigger than a hatchet.

Beef is so healthy for you because it's so nutrient dense. I love the fact that you make your own dog food which is so much better for your dogs than store bought dog food.
