Your videos never fail to make me laugh and cry 🥲 and be overfilled with joy as we’re getting ready to buy OUR van and start the building process! 🥰🥰🙊🙊 Thank you for being so open and honest! You make filming and being comfortable on camera look WAY too easy. You’re an inspiration! 💚✌🏼
FYI tip, Les Schwab tire centers (west trips) will fix any tire leaks for free, does not matter if you bought tires from them, just their customer service, as a former Yopper, who now lives in northwest Montana, I wish you the very best safest journey, followed all your build videos, on my 2016 RAM, your sub floor video hooked me! don't forget some bear spray, good protection from idiots too!
I LOVE your videos. I look forward to Mondays, as they are usually uploaded after I am off electronics. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge. Have a wonderful time out west. I look forward to more adventures that I get to experience through you.
Akela is the sweetest. I love how she picked up on your emotions and soothed you. Hope you guys get on the road and have a safe trip. Can't wait to see what is coming up. sending you all love and good energy.
So glad you got your windshield fixed and for sure the repairs on Togo will make for peace of mind on the road. Aww.. so sweet your pup being there for you. Safe travels. Enjoy! ❤
It's the same kind of hot here in Athens, Greece. There's a heat warning and moving around is tough. The need for AC is real and important. It's 84F and almost 1 am. Tomorrow is apparently +100F. Stay safe and hydrated out there all of you.
Linnea...it is okay to not be okay. Every day, we as humans, go into battle. For some people, battle may be an illness or the loss of someone or something we love. It could be a battle of providing for ourselves or our family, homelessness, job loss, or perhaps a catastrophe. Battles can look the same for some and painfully different for our fellow humans. Wars are waged against varying demons inside our own minds, drugs, alcohol, food, being in a relationship, or not being in a relationship. No one's battle is less than or greater than someone else's because unless someone is forthcoming with the war they are in, we tend to think that they are okay. Linnea, you have provided us with a glimpse into your life as a nomad that is real and down to earth. You have shared the ups and downs of life on the road, and today, we saw you get emotional about your own battle with whatever ails you and I am so glad I saw how passionate and strong of a person you truly are to not be afraid to show us you! I applaud you in every sense of the word and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! We love you!
I just love following your adventures. Drive safe! If you ever need a safe place to park just off I35 in North Iowa, I’ve got a yard and friendly dogs.
You are so authentic, I swear I felt every, tiniest emotion of yours. And I'm so with you to. Understand "the routine" think, dealing with that constand and , let's be honest, massive "plan change" flow at all the time. On, and on and on.....people who doesn't live our lives would "NEVER" understand fully.
You put a smile on my face! I love your travels and the way share your life , so real! But I'm glad you got your tire fixed and the wind shield fix too!. Take care of yourself and Akela! Safe travels always!❤😊❤
I totally get you! I’ve been struggling for the last 6 months & so wish I had a fur baby like Akela. She is so special, and the bond you two share is pure magic! I love following your adventures. You are so special to me!
Stress can always get to anyone, I know you always smile through, even when your not feeling great, the same goes with me , my sister’s husband passed away last year, and I phoned her yesterday, we both cried, and I know it always does you good to let it out such s life Linnea, I love watching you with your dog Akela I see the love she has for you, and I smile because I know there is always times we need a little love in our lives so take care all of you ❤
It’s always tough to leave your comfort place but I bet you have a bunch of beautiful and exciting places on the horizon. I get emotionally attached to places and it is hard to leave. I literally get sad when vacations are over for me. Safe travels and look forward to your adventures ahead
Glad to see you grow through the pains...maintaining the tangible leads to maintaining the intangibles...watching your introspection makes me visit my inventory....Akela makes me miss my Abner ..just soul readers the are! hope to find my next soul supporter...keep it up u use the enrgy of the next adventure to wash it all away..and build it back better..!
Normally I'm a cheap guy when it comes to headlamps but I finally bit the bullet and bought that same Black Diamond lamp last year for hunting and I absolutely love it. I just gotta remember now to buying another one now for my camping set up and I'm golden.
Just remember we are here! Also I work 3rd so always awake late nights if you need a shoulder to let things out ! 😊❤ we love our dogs so much too! I have a boxer/shepherd mix ! She is 11years old 🐕and we have a puppy girl 4 years baby girl she is a full black bullheaded lab! She is such a baby girl!! ❤🐾 so I love how you love on your fur babies! So can’t wait for your new home in the back country! So glad you got repairs done and wind shield fixed! So glad you feel better after you got your stuff finished! And making new friends are always the best!! ❤❤
I don't often comment - even though I have followed your journey from the "van build" days. I want to say - (first a word about your big beautiful doggo.) Akela is the most beautiful dog ever ... ever! I cannot get over how amazing, funny, sensitive (and attuned to you) she is. So, there is that. Next, I want to just thank you for your courage to take the "road less traveled" ... I saw the episode where someone following you had commented that "your life was not normal". A friend of mine once said to such a comment that "normal is a setting on a washing machine ... it has nothing to do with human experience." I love that you share your life - struggles, joys, adventures - all of it. And congrats on choosing to be true to you. Be blessed (and love on that gorgeous shepherd of yours.) Have a great day and enjoy this life ... we only get one trip around!
There is beauty in the chaos!!! I like how you show all of your life Linnea, even the parts that are a little stressful because in reality, the mountain views and the crystal clear lakes become all the more special once youve been in the city for a while. Without that contrast, as strange as that sounds...the back woods wouldnt bring you that huge sigh of relief and also that deep, deep peace. I feel the "real life" videos that you bring to the table are what make your channel so incredibly interesting because you balance them both! When there are mountains surrounding you, you portray them in your videography like artwork but you also tell the daily story of your life in the middle of the city as well, there is beauty in the daily grind of what we all have to do to live too. Not very many people show that. That is what makes your channel so interesting and inspiring!! Keep it up Linnea. I love seeing snipets of your adventures!!! ❤
I am sooooo excited you are heading WEST!!! I can’t wait to see your videos and travels. So excited for you! 👍❤️ love to you and Akela and Chris and Kobuck too 😊
It’s ok to not be ok sometimes. You just can’t stay there. I’ve been similarly going through some stuff too. So from experience(many years) the first step is always recognizing when you feel it. Love your adventures 💕
Be safe!!! Orange is my favorite color and Akela looked great! So glad you got everything fixed. It is such a relief just knowing that while you are traveling, things were repaired. Till next time....take care! 🥰
Yes I feel a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders now that everything is in tip top shape… I guess being stuck in Kansas for a bit wasn’t too bad after all :)
I can relate to the effects of postponing ones personal rhythm and routine for those we love and can help at times. I've learned to identify when to "tuck and roll" with life during times when I sense some "gravel rash" coming up. I'm excited for you to get out west and get into your groove. Enjoy. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Haha my tire lost air for like 4 years. When it got to putting air in it every day, I finally got it fixed. There was a nail in it. I win the laziness medal 🏆
This weekend while at my campsite I fixed my own tire! Removed the wheel, removed the nail, rasped the hole, plugged it, tested the plug, re-inflated the tire, put the wheel back on and torqued it to spec. The hardest part was trusting my own work to get me the three hour drive home. It was very empowering for me. AND, only cost me $11 😂
Linnea, Another heart felt video shared. We all go through the stresses of life's every day happenings. It is good that you are aware of them and how you need to destress and that you don't mind being transparent with us your viewers. Thank You. Quick question? Where is the shop, I live here in Wichita Kansas and am currently working on my simple build out of a small 4 window bus and might need some guidance from some pros? I love how you and Chris are always thinking of each other's needs as a couple but still respectful of each other's needs to do some things on your own. That is a great quality you both share in loving each other, leaning on each other and knowing when to give each other space to explore individual adventures. That makes it so much more special when you are together, wish every couple could learn that and learn that trust in each other is so important in the bigger picture of ones relationship to others. As always sending vibes of Blessings and Love for you all and your fur babies and to each of your other family members that are going through something right now.
Many shifts are happening in the world today. Many people are being triggered to clear old emotions. The best way to release them is to stand in them and not judge them just like you are. Congrats, as it takes a lot to do this. It's still way easier than avoiding or shunning them. Give yourself time, and you will feel more free soon. Stay safe. Nice to see Akela at your side, so intune with you.
I’ve been watching your RU-vid’s for about 2 years. Your van build inspired me to do my own build, which is done and I’ve used it for multiple long trips. So thank you for your inspiration and authenticity. I just wanted to mention that in this video, I noticed a screw or nail sticking out under the rear upper cabinet on the drivers side. That could be hazardous onto you or Adela. Thanks again.
I think you’re pretty special. I’ve been watching you for a long time. Now I’m full time for 3 years and the heat is getting to me too. Ups and downs. I so appreciate and understand you!
I’m glad you went with Safelite for your windshield. I’m stoked you’re on your way to happiness now. There’s nothing like feeling trapped wishing you were somewhere else. Safe travels!
Oh my, Akela. Naturally this was a great vlog; I'm always terrible at naming my favorite part(s), but I must say when you were talking abt your recent fluctuating & challenging emotions but how you have the best friend to get you thru things--Akela, then she placed her paw on your shoulder in a show of support as you kissed her snout, oh wow! I melted. Love you Akela. Never knew white German Shepherds were a thing; she's such a genuine great companion. Adore you both & Chris & Kobuk too. xoxo 🫶🏼🫠✌🏼
I enjoy all your videos, but I’m reeeeaaaalllly looking forward to going out west. Love it there, and I know you will bring some great views and stories from there. Hi, Chris. ✌️❤️🚐
It's 11.20pm here in the UK and I should really be in bed pushing out the zzzzz's but I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing there's a new video uploaded! Sending much love to you all xxxx
No bloopers this week Thank you again, for sharing your life with us. I get the hard times (there are times when your videos have been my ONLY respite), and also understand that picking up the camera only feels good during the good times. Really, who wants to record the times we're feeling like an exposed nerve?! Not me... so thank you for sharing the reality. Love your work! P.S. Chris looks like he's spent a month on a tropical island, he's so tanned! Good to see him again, sending so much love to your family ❤
Enjoying the journey still... I got the Paul Rosalie book you recommended out of the library. What an unusual guy. It was a great read thank you Linnea 👌
Yeahhh so happy for you guys, having loyalty to business that you know do quality work is awesome. Nomads ride 😊 safe travels to you both and them fur babies.. I love your adventures 💕 was just watching some of your puck light video. Chris i pray all gets better for family.
Such an awesome young lady, can take care of yourself, and Akela, ( whoever else) all by willing to learn new things, and the info you've acquired along the way, with flyfishing, archery, just living out in the woods, by yourself, I tell my husband about you and how I think about what's going on in the world, and we need to learn more, watching you be able to just survive on the land, is quite amazing!! 🤗 I Also watched a video lately, about you building a little table for your mom, and, go foraging for berries bake a pie, with said berries, cook an amazing meal and all before she got home, she must be very proud of you, !! Safe travels, and until the next one!!! ❤️🤗 It ok to be not ok, for Abit, just don't stay there, and I don't believe you ever would!! Think you are very in tune to yourself and thing's around you!! Happy you are doing well, and moving on again,!!

❤ love you!! Hugs! I sympathize with you with life feelings 😢 I've been going through alot as well. I love how your honest. It's good to cry though because when I cry I feel a sense of relief And sigh. It also helps me reset and release. I love you! ❤ I love your optimism and strength. Your such a wonderful person. Thank you for wonderful videos and content. I appreciate you and Mr Chris. Safe travels. I'm in New Mexico if you'd like a place to park. Message me.
I live in southeast Kansas. That REI is the closest to me. Then there's a Cabelas close by. Between the two I've done some serious damage to my credit card on more than one occasion.
Have fun! We just hiked to lower blue lakes and there was still a lot of random piles of snow! Stay warm out there and be safe. There was a bear lounging about 20ft off the trail. 😅
Hello. I so enjoy your videos, energy, creativity, commitment to akela. Not sure where I saw your security additions but are you happy with the items you installed? Would you do anything differently? Love your energy. Stay safe, have lots of fun.
Just found your channel and love it! I love that you have a Shepherd too because I have been eyeing the ruffwear pack for backpacking lol. Cool to get a fit review from someone with a shepherd. REI is dangerous for me too. Do you use the jetboil as your general stove? Sorry if it’s a repeat question. I haven’t watched all your videos yet.
REI, that’s funny, because today I stopped in a local REI to get a ursack for my Wyoming traverse of the wind river range later this month and all I wanted was the darn food bag, but nooooooo, I spent an extra 100 I shouldn’t have 😂😂😂
Akela reminds me so much of my Jacki, she was a blonde husky mix. Miss her dearly, she had a stroke 2 yrs ago, had to put her down. Hardest thing ever, yr after that my mom died. Auto repairs are just crazy expensive, but that bill did seem reasonable. I do most of my own repairs, it is hard work, and parts are expensive. I could have saved a few bucks on your brakes, but not much. And you have piece of mind know it was done professionally. Could you give me an idea of what you have infested in your promaster, I currently have a 4x4 1/2 ton pick-up. Looking into possibly getting a van. Is your promaster front wheel drive, I've heard they are? Not sure about that far as towing a boat. Okay, I'll be on my way. Oh if you're ever in Indiana and need bow work done, Albertson's in Warsaw does great work! Okay, later.
I'm eagerly patient for where I know you want to be. I would not be as patient as you . I guess that's why I'm forever single. But. It's beautiful showing us all the struggle finding that balance
I loved your YT content. New sub here but I can’t no more I can’t watch a guy walking around with a bun! Just not right. You don’t need me anyhow. Keep growing
