The best longterm camping setup I've seen & DIY shuttle bus tour
This is the last in a three part series on how fulltime nomads setup their campsites for camping longterm, up to 7 months on BLM land in Quartzsite for under $26 per month. Kent has an impressive fold down kitchen, shower setup and even a lounge area for guests as his outside living area. But his diy shuttle bus that he converted into a tiny house is equally as impressive. Let me know what your favorite part is of Kent's setup. And stay thru the end to hear about yet another project I have taken on, trying to help Kent fulfill a bucket list adventure.

Although I didn't think to ask, I am guessing this method of insulating her van al...

Some seniors are their own Worst ENEMY!!
Переглядів 19 тис.День тому
In this "Auntie talk" video I share some hard truth about seniors who are their own worst enemies. As a result some of them are likely going to find themselves living in their cars or camping trying to scrape by or even worse. Living on a meager social security check in today's financial climate is no joke. But many seniors are unwilling to take the necessary steps to help themselves before the...
What's in store for struggling seniors & other poor folk after the election?

Election 2024 is finally over. But so many are wondering what is next. Some wait with excited anticipation to find out while others with dread. As for me, I wonder among other things how poor folks, especially seniors already living in poverty, will be impacted by efforts to cut the deficit. Will more seniors living in traditional housing situations be forced to become nomads living in campers ...
Best tips on preparing for possible civil unrest even if you're a nomad or senior

Who would have thought a video like this would ever be necessary. But it is. Perhaps it is most important and relevant for those who may be more vulnerable like seniors. But I believe it is prudent for everyone to take heed and engage in some preparations whether you are a nomad living in a camper, rv or even a car or you are living in a traditional apartment or house. The upcoming election is ...

Van Life Trials: Out of Surgery and Recovering!!
I’m going to keep you and Ken up in prayer that you can find someone who can do this trip with him 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Boy I have missed you and have a LOT OF CATCHING UP LOL. I was just trying to find the quartzite even page for Januarys events when you get a chance can you post the website please. Thank you in advance Carol.
Great video. Links to the products she used to insulate would be very helpful. I am going to insulate my van this winter, so this is coming just at the right time.
Great interview, Carol. 👍
hey Kent, hang in there, do what you can, sit in the sun as much as you want. keep on breathing.
I hope he's able to complete his bucket list. 🙏
There should be a floor on how low an SS check can be. The floor should be around $2000 a month.
Here.😊😊
Add an ice machine
Coyote refrigerators are about 1600 dollars but they seem to be worth it so I guess I would put one in my house and get a separate freezer
Carol do you think you will be back in quartzite and do a meet up
I heard there is a van build happening but I can't find out where it is or if anyone can go Does anyone know anything about it
Can I be his neighbor. Where is he so I have an option ☺️
What a nice guy.
A roommate is better than homelessness. OR just get a job and afford your own place. This isn't rocket science.
Great Save!!!
Glow said I don't flow 150 miles in the wilderness.
🤣🤣🤣
Such a sweet person you are. Im 56 and am researching van life for retirement. ❤
Thank you. I suggest you try it out for a week or two, boondocking or however you plan to do van life. Good luck😊
Hi there. I am so impressed with you and your videos that are always interesting. I've learned a lot about living in the desert so far from you and the people that you interview. Thanks so much for your taking the time to give us folks some valuable life lessons and practical ideas for us wanderlust community!
Wow, thank you!
Great video. More on quartzsite VIDEOS nomads on SSD. How about Randy,the mobile traveler SSD that owns and operates THE SPOT.
I did a video on Randy awhile back.
I love your videos
Thank you Andrea🥰
Kent is an incredible genius! If I had the funds, I get him his lithium battery.
He certainly is a genius!!
Oops: meant Micro Camper conversion..
Micro conversion of a micro Toyota.. Please check out: This is is a incredible usage of a tiny tiny car that has been designed with the necessities to survive...
I have seen some very good replicas, such as the bag I bought at kislux . The craftsmanship of modern replicas is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and they are within millimeters of each other. It is difficult to tell which ones are fake.
Very nice interview thank you for sharing ❤
Ty for sharing ❤
Thank you for your videos
Could you give a brand name on the fold away stove please.?
Whats going g to happen when they raise the price next year, I heard it's outrageous 😳
What a wonderful and interesting man. I enjoyed this interview immensely.
What the? I love his folding stove
Mr Trump, these people are counting on you
With the cost of living, I'm researching lifestyles like this for retirement. I would've loved to know how much he paid for the bus. He's got a nice set up. I can't kayak but I'll house sit for him.
That is a generous offer, but Kent is camping with a groupnthat will be taking care of his bus during his absence.
Love your sense of humor Kent :) Going to Google Coyote fridges now lol!
I am thinking of changing out my fridge to Coyote too!!
tfs!!! I heard in another vid, they are raising thier prices A Lot soon 😞
That is what I.have heard too. They are still having hearings on it but I think it is a done deal. It will hurt a lot of people as the proposed.chamge is over 3x the current price!
Susan Swanson, real estate UA-camr features much cheaper houses throughout the country, $25-100K. Maybe group of us can buy a piece of property with a couple of acres mostly countryside but very livable with some renovations. She was showing it to people who lost their houses to the recent Helene storm/flood. Some are in SC, TN, GA, WA, IO, etc.
...a very good interview. Congrats to u and this wonderful couple!
I have another interview I just did with them coming up later this week. Stay tuned. They really are a lovely couple.
Serenity should be a head of the RV industry building...Thank you for sharing and video...Blessings to you..
The trick is to look 10 years younger than ur age I'm 64 and everyone can't believe I'm that agei don't drink or smoke I take a vitamin per day and exercise 5 times a week
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you..
Glad you enjoyed it😊
Carol, Why not try getting ahold of Lisa from Keepinitwheel306? She just done a video yesterday with this group that does adaptive adventures for handicapped people like him. She could fill you in more than I could just was a thought however. Blessings!
I enjoy your channel
Thanks for watching and commenting Sean😊
Glad I'm not the only one still saying "artsy fartsy!" 😂. Great set-up! 🙏🏻For your kayaking trip and your health!🙏🏻
I am so looking forward to helping to making that happen.😊
What was the name of Kent's little orange fold up stove and where did he purchase it? Nice camp set up... Thank you for video. Blessings to you..
It is a Gas One GS-8300 Compact foldable camp stove on Amazon. .it is also available online thru Gas One with a 10% discount on first purchase.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Thank you so much the reply and info, Carol...It's appreciated..
Walmarts Ozark Trail products are great, and way cheaper.
@@leeinwisThank you..
Carol do you remember On the Road with Charles Kuralt? This video is so interesting and of such quality it reminded me of it.
I loved that program. Stay tuned. I am airing another interview on either the day before or on Thanksgiving I just did with this deligjtful couple couple.
Really interesting interview! Thank you for asking such terrific questions of this obviously super intelligent human.. What a great guy with stories that probably go on forever!! Anyone would be lucky to sit and visit with him at length. THANK YOU for sharing this!
My conversation with Kent really was fascinating. I am really looking forward to helping him fulfill his bucket list wish.
Was this last winter or recently? Is he in Q now? An interesting guy.
This interview was this season.
I enjoyed this interview and tour. He has some very good ideas and I'm sorry he has a lot of physical problems which keeps him from doing what he really wants to do. Please keep us informed on his trip
Amazing, this woman is a genius. She planned out every single small detail, not single stone left unturned. Amazing rig!
She really did a thorough job of thinking of every detail. I didn't even show the attached awnings, ON BOTH sides!!
Worked from the time I was 16 until I was 62 when I had to retire due to health issues. If I wasn't able to live in subsidized housing I wouldn't make it. Even with all that experience I was not able to get a job. I volunteer at local elementary school as a classroom aide and they love me, but not enough to hire me!
People don't want to talk about age discrimination in the workplace but it is real. I am so glad for you that you have subsidized housing.
