MY STORY: Why Do I Live In A Tent? Canvas Tent - Season 2 -Ep#77 

I love strong women. Thank you for being you and setting a different standard for all.

I love your personality, your living how I've always wanted to live , a more simple and peaceful existence

Congratulations you did the absolutely right thing..I love your laugh..you’re a joyful person..the spirits love u..and the fairy’s dance at night around the campfire..you have been making memories with your children in the last five years..that will last a lifetime..

Learning your story has actually brought tears to my eyes a couple times. Not because I was sad for you. Because I was so happy for you. I also live in a tent. Mine is only 14x10 with 7 foot head clearance. I am extremely happy living in my tent in the woods. I may be houseless but I'm not homeless. A house is just a house. A home is where your heart is at.

the secret really is silence. everytime i told people about my goals, they always fail one way or another. this video was very inspiring for and probably for a lot of people. thank you,

You have the strength and fortitude to fix your own roof... don't let intimidation stop you! There's instruction videos for EVERYTHING on RU-vid. It's not rocket science. It might be hard work, but it's doable...You go, girl!!

Just finished watching this video and it makes me more determined to go up to southeast Missouri to 10 acres of woods that I bought and start building. Just lost my wife of 47+ years to oral cancer and have been lost since them. Although I am 69 years old, I don't think it is too late. Thanks for the inspiration. May God Bless you and your daughters and keep you on your journey.

Who in the world could not love your dream? I wish you all the beauty in the world....happiness is healthiness. Your laugh always makes me smile.

My daughter went to Africa many years ago on a humanitarian mission. She traveled and taught for 3 months all alone. She was taken advantage of by some dishonest people to the point that when it was time to leave she had her ticket home but not enough money to buy food for the 3 day trip. She was only 19 at the time and too proud to tell us of her plight because we were not thrilled about it in the first place. When she was safely home she told me that she had learned a lot about trust and life’s realities in that short time. She had sold her American T-shirts and a pair of her athletic shoes in the airport to provide for 2 meals on the way home. The next thing she said makes me choke up to this day, (yes, this day): “But you know what dad? I never cried once.” You remind me a lot of her.

Terrific style and grit Tammy!! and you have those lovely daughters. What a blessing...

You inspire us all to follow our dream and not the dream of someone else. Life is a gift and a personal journey - Life is not a destination. I can see you are not wasting your gift.

I just built a TRUCK garage on my land I appreciate your work and dedication I'm going to keep watching you.. Happy Happy mother's day. I hope that you are blessed

You brought tears to this old curmudgeon. Well done!

now thats vicarious! - she blew into that stove and i smelt it... (eyes are watering, how wonderful, ty)

Thank you so much for sharing this video!! I just turned 60.. It has taken me this long to start living my dream in the Mts.of NC..Better late than never! I am so happy you made this move while you are still young!! Enjoy!!😊⛺

OMG! What an awesome story!! You are an amazing woman! Roof, land, roof, land...I would pick THE LAND TOO! Like Scarlet O'Hara's father told her, Katie Scarlett the land is everything!!! Yes, I know you did the right thing. WOW! Your daughters are very blessed to have a mother like you!!! Yes, camping living Halleluja! Don't replace the roof, cut your losses and sell the house! Love your story!!! Shalom and G-d bless you!

I love your story. I lost my job and am going through a separation with my wife (2 kiddos involved). I'm looking at staying on a great Uncle's land full time (he has 142 acres). I look forward to watching more videos, ya sold me on this one. Thanks for sharing!

I bought a camper with my burial money, to park it and go camping every week end in the summer.

Bravo. At a dark time in my life, I was laying in bed looking up at the ceiling thinking what in the hell have I done? I too had an epiphany and made a list. Now, 45 years later, I've done it all. Literally, done it all. The list is the roadmap and without a map, the journey has no direction. Amend the list along the way but always have the list. Good for you for posting this great advice.

It’s amazing what beauty can come out of ashes.

Go girl go! I know when things all fall apart Everything comes at once Now look back these things are no need for our new life! Life automatically change the course for us Just appreciation Universe does for us ! 🙏

you are amazing. I am currently living in a tent and going back and forth between living on my mothers land and dry camping in the wilderness every 3 weeks or so. this is so motivating :) I want to one day get a lot so that I can start building my own little winterized canopy tent and make it a permanent home. i found your channel yesterday and i can NOT stop watching. truly inspiring.

That's exactly what I want to do . I love being in the woods

You go girl!!! I believe all women should be thought to be strong!! Not to be dependent of any one but God and them self ! So I am very happy that you found your calling. Yessss!!

Tammy you are living your dream! Your video brought tears to my eyes. Your a true inspiration.

Your story is compelling and makes a big statement and reflects who you are. Friends won't pay your bills. It looks like you have your health and enjoying the environment that you are creating. Thank you for sharing. P.S. making a list of what makes you happy is priceless.

So inspiring!

Tom from Quebec Canada I'm so happy for you . Move in your tent all the time

You Ma'am have inspired me i. 64 yrs.young have been single for over 20 years and i always wanted to live in a tiny house and now i do and im thinking oy buyimg it so Tjank You and God Bless you and your gorls and your dreams

A lovely story - what a strong person you are!

I know you won't see this comment but I wrote down my list a couple years ago. Mine was travel and my cats. That is what made me happy. Two years later I am on the road with my cats and writing children's books about them. I came up with The Traveling Kittens! I sold everything and am traveling in a Prius and will be starting a RU-vid channel as soon as I can figure it out! Glad to have found your channel. My journey is just beginning!

I wouldn't let a guy buy me a car ! They throw that crap back at you and expect you to do everything and anything for them because they gave you a new car . No ring , no car . People who don't have to work for things have no idea ! Stay strong ! My Irish mother taught us to not take any crap from anyone and be strong and independent ! You are a strong independent woman and your girls will be strong young women as they grow up by seeing their mom being strong . Oh and your dog is awesome ! Love you videos !

I found you yesterday on YT because I fantasize about living in a tent. I realize I have been doing this for years. My husband never camped, my kids grew up -- so they don't camp with me anymore, and all I want to do is sleep in a tent long term. I collect amazing camping equipment and am not afraid to camp in campgrounds alone -- in fact, I love it! I want to camp in the woods alone for an extended time but am afraid of robbers -- not bears, not cold weather, just robbers. I know it is very unlikely, but that is what I face. Anyway, you give me courage. Subscribed and watching!

I want to thank you for your speech it gave me something to look forward to I'm a single father and I'm in the same boat as you it's been a dream of mine also and seeing you go for it gives me strength ☺ I'm looking for land also again thanks.

I totally understand what ur saying. My oldest son died. I have 2 other kids. My other son in in Florida my daughter is pregnant moving to Florida. My husband n me live in our van conversion. You realize u don't need stuff u don't need much in life. The nature around u is beautiful. There is so much we take for granite in life. Were going to Florida. Each moment in life is precious. Nature teaches us so much. There is no time like now to do what's important. Do what makes u happy now not later.

You're a blessed lady. Thanks for sharing.

You are a beautiful person! Dont forget that. EVER!

My wife told me if I win the DIY Dreamhome in Montana she is not going with me. “I’ll miss her”

Wow. Your awesome. And your right. Society now days is all about what others think and making others happy. Your doing a great job. Please don't stop making vlogs. I really enjoy watching them. But you go girl make your happiness and dreams. One true. I'm loving the wilderness living idea.

Stunning. You popped up and 2 of us around different cities in South Africa are watching 2 o clock in the morning. Now my friends will at long last understand. I believe the Ruach Ha Kodesh Holy Spirit guided me here. YHVH bless you and keep you. In Yeshua Ha Massiach's Name. Amen

..it was not the easyest way you are going..but is the best!!! Yesssss!!!! Just do it!!!! hug you!!!

Lots of love respect and prayers for you what a wonderful lady you are ❤️

You are absolutely amazing woman ! Respect !🥰💝

Your Smile is as contagious as your drive. Thank you!!!

She has a contagious laugh.

What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great lesson Tammy. The universe tells us what we really need. I would have done the same thing. It made life joyful and fulfilling. ( In addition to your daughters!!!!!!I love your story...thank you for sharing;)

Sell the solar panels and system, roof will be cheaper plus there's cash to put into the fund. And good for you making your dreams reality

I took the time to watch your video and listen to what you said about your life you are an amazing woman with absolutely wonderful morals you go girl you're doing the right thing I am so happy for you

Is it time to honor the Viking woman in you who brought you to this new place in life? She is remarkable!!

Your story is inspiring... Thx

This is actually what I want to do. Thank you for sharing. Much Love 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Wow, such a brave resilient person. Life can't beat someone like you.

I’m a 71 year old man. I’m proud of you. Men feel the same way. Really cool.

you are so right ,buying the land and doing what your doing was thr right decision , i have property in west texas that was all paid for this february and the next thing to do is to put something there so i can live there permanently, Thank you for the encouragement

You are truly a breath of fresh air and an inspiration, continued blessings on your journey through life.

You are AWESOME, love your silliness and laughter, willingness to do what makes you happy. You go girl!!

Thanks so much for your personal story. Of all the U Tubers that I watch You are the only one that has shared about themselves. Good Luck and keep up the great life experiences.

Thank you very much 🙏 - If I ever put an idol in my heart, it would be you😇

YOU ARE SINGING MY LIFE WITH YOUR WORDS! SMH! Thanks so much for sharing this!

I truly loved your video an must say that things happen for a reason. We inspire ourselves to be better and to be wiser but there comes a time when we grow or gravitate towards our own goals no matter what they maybe.

You are so precious! I pray you will get your cabin soon.

your tent reminds me of infantry school. one of the happiest times of my life as i recall.

WOW.. you need to be very proud of yourself and I can tell you are. You are most definitely an amazing person.and an inspiration to me and I am sure many others.Always believe in yourself and your Dreams..we all get only one true Chance LIFE is Short so Thank You for reminding me of that 😊

Du är en riktig underbar kvinna ! Exakt som jag sa . RESPEKT !💝

Thank you for the video. I have had this dream since I was a child I am now 44yo. Recently I have moved into my truck so I can start to save the money to get my own land. I have figured that it is now or never for me. I have never thought about the canvas tent house before but I like the idea of it.so thanks again for the video. I have always believed that if one person can do it then so can another. And now I just had to get off my butt and make my dream happen. Stop my habit of living to work and started working to live.

Thank you Spirit Forest for telling your story!! I stumbled upon this because i follow single women traveling solo. I love your videos...you have inspired me to search out what I love. Im going to binge watch all yiur videos now! I love your strong and brave spirit. I like learning all about wilderness living. Blessings to you!

Love this ! So inspired thanks

I don't know anyone that has ever lived in the country that didn't want to do what your doing. I lived on a farm in Tennessee all my life doing construction management all over America living in a camper an all my life I've wanted to just go up in mountains an build a cabin an live. I've raised four kids by myself they're all grown now an I'm very close to do what your doing. Thank you for your videos an that is reason why I watch your videos it's not to learn about bush craft I know that part it's the freedom an happiness I see is what I love about your channel. Thank you.

I love your energy and the story of buying your land. Freedom of mind, spirit and body...that's what it's all about. I'm retired now, but I finally got my little cabin in the woods here in Granite, Oregon (an official ghost town with only 30 residents) and enjoy everyday the peace of nature. I'm happy I stumbled upon your channel and wish you the best. PS...I did some time in Durango as well working as an actor at the Diamond Circle Theatre during the summer from 1980-1984. Peace!

I have to say this video has put the biggest smile on my face out of all your videos. ty for sharing

I got your message. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I'm totally inspired.

I'm a black girl from Chicago who has never camped... has never been insterested... and this inspired me. Thanks for the story :)

Thank you for sharing your personal story, means a lot to so many, including me!! I can see the overwhelming joy in your soul. Keep going!!

just watching this... it’s inspiring!

Thank you for sharing...so inspiring!

I would do anything to live like that! Congratulations!

I nust watched your vid. You have nothing to be jealous of. Its your friend s that should be jealous of you. You have 2 children that love you. You found happiness without having to realy on someone else you are an inspiration to many and would make a great role model to other young women

Thank you so much for sharing your story! ❤️

Ty for sharing and being so honest. U sound so happy and fulfilled. I am too old now and in ill health to be able to camp or travel. So I am living my dreams vicariously through you. Ty so much

Your energy is awesome! Great video!

An old Native American saying that I learned a long time ago... You cannot do for your responsibilities ... If you are Not balanced and have taken care of you... You found that balance, hold on to it, nurture it ... You are Awsome! ATB from Florida! PS: I have " restarted" my journey, thanks to you... I have made some arrows n refitted my bow with a new string, got my bed roll together n pack n tent ! I am working towards getting out to camp , hunt , fish .. As soon as mid November... Thanks "T"! Look up the legend of the " Black vs White wolves ", you will see how it all comes together...

Brilliant, impulsive, courageous, strong, brave and what a story. Full admiration to you. FairPlay. Follow your dream and instincts

O HOW YOU MAKE ME SMILE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE LIKE ME 1000 MILES AWAY YOU GO GIRL!!😎😘

This is your calling that's for sure. I would also report that insurance company to the state. The reason for insurance is just exactly what you need it for, that's why you pay them. Ive never heard of such a thing as them not paying ,especially if it was mother natures fault. They owe you a roof !! Sorry, I got sidetracked, what I just want to say is you truly do inspire people. I received my Spirit Forest sweatshirts and I wear them proudly. I may order another one. Keep doing you Tammy and I'll keep watching. Im headed for the woods tomorrow and have a coffee and take pictures and just enjoy nature.

I love how you're inspiring people to JUST DO IT! I'm the type of person who just goes, "who cares if it fails, we'll figure it out", even with a family, we'll figure it out. Working from home is definitely ideal, which is what I have right now, it's great. Thank you for sharing your story with us, I'm sure that was tough. You're livin' the dream and you're happy. That's all that matters.

You don't need money ! You are a diamond !

love this video you are an amazing lady be always happy with you and your girls life is best then and will get even better love hugs and special prayers

You are a brave human. Wish you very best.✌️

You are awesome, and your spirit is beautiful.... It is crazy because your story is so super close to mine. I remarried and I am much younger but honestly he loves the fact that I am in my element when I hike and camp. I told him I can hear my thoughts and I can rest from all of the hustle when I am in the mountains. I feel safe and and connected. I totally understand. I am in the process of saving for my one acre... your happiness I can feel and I am going to get there as well. This just let me know I can do it... so thank you... from NC home of the mountains...

Beautiful story and a great beginning for life. Remember life is a journey it a Destination. Hopefully you will get to stay there full time. Glad to see the girls father in the picture, one can never tell what happens next. The great mystery about being human and living life our feelings can change. Thanks for sharing your story. Following a similar road up in the mountains of Colorado so know what you are speaking about!! Live each day to the fullest, but most of all enjoy them all, August

You are awesome and you are an inspiration

Live Your Life to the FULLEST.I really enjoyed your life story.Im inspired!!! BLESSINGS ALWAYS

Thank you soo much for sharing your story. I related a lot more than I thought I was going too. I'm a single mon of 2. I've been single for 10 years. Total Viking woman, strong independent. Want to homestead here in Co. I live in the Springs. Moving back to Aurora soon. I have 10k in my 401 and I've been looking at property for 4 months now. Still worried to pull the trigger. Worried about all the dam building codes. All the counties are so different. I applaud you for doing it! Your an amazing person! God bless, on your journey of building on your land. Your land in beautiful!

Totally understand what you are trying to say. Maybe you always put yourself last (as most moms do)and finally you woke up and said its MY turn! Little did you know it benefits your girls and inspire us. Thank you for sharing.

I love watching your story. You inspire me. I have my hot tent in our forest. We are putting the floor, porch and full roof over it. My husband is helping me and fully understands how it soothes my soul. I’m so happy you made that choice. I love your channel too. I watch and love the long videos too.

I admire you so much...!
