The last few weeks have brought us some unwelcome, unfortunate changes. The Subaru had her final breakdown, leaving us stranded at a random RV Park as we decide what to do next.

Elsa, you mentioned how much trash that woman accumulated in a weekend. It got me thinking, you guys should talk about your trash system. How you keep it low, how you store it, how you dispose of it, how you recycle, how you keep it from attracting animals when you're out in the wild, etc. I'd be real interested!

The music is always a bonus of course, but getting a video without any music occasionally really brings out the artistry of your videos. A picture says a 1000 words.

As I sit and watch this and listen to the commentary about where you and Barron are, I feel an incredible amount of empathy for those who cannot afford 40 acres somewhere or a home in Seattle or anywhere else for that matter. I have spent time in an RV park and the people that I have met are some of the most genuine peeps anywhere. Whilst you may comment about the noise of children and dogs and the travails of having your car broken down, I am refreshed that you know how fortunate you are. I embrace each day with a huge thanks for the day and how lucky I am to be where I am.

Loved seeing Kristi on your screen as you made your protein drink!❤️ I really enjoy watching your videos. I am in awe of the lengths you go to to exist in that tiny little space. At this point in my life, I love having an ice-maker in my fridge, an attached garage, a walk-in shower, a pool in the backyard, garbage pick-up twice a week, someone who cuts the lawn and trims the shrubs, someone who cleans my house, heat and air-conditioning and a nice king-size bed that we can stretch out on with the kitties, running water and flush toilets. I feel like I am living a dream ... but you are living a dream too and I really appreciate you bringing me along for the ride. Hope your car is fixed soon ... having car issues is a bummer!

@ElsaRhae 3 года назад

You ARE living a dream! That all sounds wonderful!

Fun fact: the Ode to Joy song on the strings at the end, was written in a time point in history where the people weren't allowed to use the word free.. The song was supposed to be called Ode to Freedom. But they compromised and used Ode to Joy instead.. lol cheers

Dear Elsa, “The Greening of America” was one of my mother’s favourite books. I know she was saddened when the dreams of the ‘70s got lost along the way. Mom died almost two years ago. When you showed the book , memories of my mother and that time in our history came flooding back. I so enjoy your videos and lifestyle. Good luck with everything. Love to Barron and Kamp.🇨🇦
