Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- I feel after starting my 4th year, I should be able to deal with life situations. Especially at this age. Well, I think I failed myself, and you guys a bit over hte past couple/thre months.
I thought I'd give you all a lil inside look to my life, and discuss openly about what I've benn going thru.
Hopefully, we will hit the road, with both feet running, and spend this summer, rocking and rollin over western Canada

Thank You Everyone
You All Rock!
I suffer with severe depression, anxiety and agoraphobia. I never leave my house. I want you to know that because of your filming,I have not only been able to stay afloat...but you have brought me to tears with the beauty you have captured by your own eyes. You have always been able to laugh Brent. That ability to find humor in the face of adversity has saved my life. You will not only be fine,you will find new heights of joy. I really appreciate you and look forward to every upload. From MN with much love.
🙏
Thanks Donna, I’m so happy to read this
You have my deepest empathy. 🫶🏻🫶🏻My mother was severely agoraphobic…and I don’t know what else…she wasn’t diagnosed. That was back in the late 70s before people became more open and accepting of the reality of mental health issues. She was kind of ok through much of my childhood, but it all changed when she went through perimenopause/menopause. And because she was agoraphobic, sick, and fearful, she didn’t seek medical attention. Ultimately, after years of suffering, and no medical treatment, she had a fatal cerebral hemorrhage. My father and I were home at the time it happened and we tried to save her life. She was revived by the EMTs, but after a week in the hospital, being kept alive by artificial means, the hard decision was made to let her go because there was no brain activity. I was 16 at the time this happened and I’m still breaking down remembering that day and the aftermath…at 68 years old) My world had been like the Twilight Zone for a few years after she became physically and mentally ill, but it shattered when she “left” me. I became so lost that it’s hard for me to comprehend how I got out of it. There are big blocks of time I still don’t remember.
So, I feel for you, wish you the very best and I send you giant hugs. Please take care of yourself. 💝
@@lindaormond873 You are very kind,Linda. Giant,warm hugs back to to. I am sorry for the deep grief that you feel for your mothers life and her tragically passing. I'm sure she would want you to be happy and thriving. I am also 68. It has been a long road and I am now alone. Thank you for sharing your story. I love nature,it brings me peace. That is why I love Brents videos. It takes me where I need to go. Please take care,Donna
donnac1198- Just wonderful encouragement to Brent. Thank you for sharing. ❤
My favorite videos are when u just talk about your feelings
I noticed that. I guess e we might have to do more
Poor health, financial insecurity together with loneliness can play havoc with one's mind and reasoning. Being able to recognise and adapt takes takes courage. Moving on .... this video is well put together, an excelemt production. Onwards and upwards!
Thanks
You cannot change yesterday, you cannot predict tomorrow, but you can control the now.
Here's to new beginnings 🍻.
Thank You for sharing .
All the best,
Michelle and Holger 🙏
Exactly
Be careful don’t trust anyone fully, that’s my moto.you have a faithful friend by your side Dude.
@angelapietras1235 …. D.T.A
One day at a time Brent, we love you too.
Truly pray you find the peace that surpasses all understanding. I’m a widow and would have become a total wreck without the strength, comfort and love of the Lord.
👍 No apologies needed Brent. Life Happens. Looking forward to your future shared adventures.
Thanks bud
Brent, I see a lot of love for you in these comments!! I watched this right after you posted this video. It is now 12:25AM and I am heading to bed, but I want you to remember, we all have our problems and I know for me watching your videos always makes my day. I can relate to what you said about your younger days, I was in the same boat. I hope that you get a good night sleep and wake up to a great new day!!
You rock Dan
I'm glad you realized it wasn't right fairly early. It often takes longer to get over a relationship, the longer you're in it. When you mentioned 'abuse', I was definitely angry on your behalf, but relieved you found the strength to get out of it. Calming and healing thoughts coming your way!
Some of us unfortunately know the feeling, but this will pass. Cant wait to see you and the Dudes future adventures. You are an awesome fellow.
Thanks Jackie
You weren't your self the last few videos. Happy for you that you realized things and are moving on. You have a kind heart. You have always helped me with your advice, great adventures and your laugh always cheer me up.
Thank you so much!
I can relate to this... Due to my kindness and promises I made... My life has been disappointing to me these past few months... My promise is coming to an end... So is my relationship/friendship... What I learned is who I am... What I will except and tolerate to what I won't... It actually got to the point that I turned into an ugly person... That was when I woke up... This is not me... All we can do is send them love and healing as we give ourselves the same... Thanks for sharing Brent...
Nailed it
I feel this was hard for you to say. Kudos ! ❤ and thank you 😊
Brent..you need to live life for you and Dude..he is your best friend..we all fail at relationships..I also see the best but one needs to feel peace..comfort..and acceptance..just pleeeeeze live for the dsy..luv your mindset and you pleeeze need not apologize for anything !!!😊❤😊
No apologies needed ❤. You share your life. Your honesty and positive attitude is admirable. Hang in there
Sorry you are going through this Brent. I promise the sun will shine again!
Brent you will always rise to the top with your positive attitude
You will go on to great success
✌️🥰👍
We miss mom since she passed on, but with family, friends, or relationships, i guess we learn from the negatives and treasure the positives...be blessed
Yes...Brent..need to rediscover yourself..and it will wirk out !!😊❤😊
Brent sending you a big old bear hug. Thank you for having this talk with us. It helps all of us to relate as we go through the ups and downs of life. Sometimes it hurts to care so much but it makes you a special gem 💎 Take care, take your time to ride through this situation hugs 🤗
❤️
I stayed in a couple longterm relationships and put up with alot. But now I'm free and can make my choices for me. I am who I am, you are who you are, that person was just a step in time for you, you can still find the right person for you. I enjoy how you know how to cook, and what you make is great. If I later found someone here in the states that enjoys life daily like you, I'd try to let him know daily how special he is.
I call it affectionate and others called it clingy so it's how people are raised and what they are looking for.
You are a special person and have much to offer when that special person comes into your life - just don't take the first person unless they meet most of your criteria. Decide what you must have in a relationship and what you are willing to "deal" with or "accept" and what are definite No's. Good luck Brent and love seeing Dude and your bus too, you have done good with it.
Thanks eh
You got this. You are a very strong person ❤
I assume you are talking about Josse.. No worries just take it easy..
So, I just resubscribed to your channel after several months of not following you. I had really enjoyed all of the beautiful places you showed, along with the history, and even the everyday life stuff of a van lifer. I honestly unscribed when I saw that you were headed “that way”. If I’ve put the puzzle pieces together correctly, I first heard about the “wrecking ball” when watching another vanlifer, who discussed the grief he went through in dealing with said wrecking ball. (I was skeptical about the validity of his ordeal at first, but what he talked about seems to have happened to you too) BTW, I’m no longer subscribed to his channel. I had so hoped that you wouldn’t be lured in, but such is life when you have a soft heart. I just didn’t want to watch any videos that included that person. Of course, you’re absolutely free to live your life and seek happiness…it’s a shame it couldn’t have been with a non
wrecking ball. I’m sorry that you had to go through the experience, but glad you got out without too much damage. If you feel this comment is really inappropriate or inaccurate, I apologize and please feel free to delete it…just wanted to show you support and well wishes. I look forward to your upcoming videos and wish you speedy healing.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don’t delete any comments. I’m happy to have me back, and happy to have learned more about me. Saying that, welcome back. Let’s get travelling again
👍👍 worded perfectly linda ❤ 👍👍
" Wrecking ball " ... I have a different word in my head ...
She DID in fact torment previous male AND was a complete psycho to others out here as well... including myself ...
It was something I wouldn't tolerate and had to sadly watch from a distance a sh*t show.
Welcome back bro 👍
@@BrentsVanLife❤❤
great job brent. great thing about it is you didn't stay one day more. could have been worse and went on for years 💕😘
So true!
Pleeze ..Brent..takes time to find oneself and apply it for tomorrow..need not go thru any type of abusive relationship
.yes..one must look for the best in everyone and in everything..just drive with you and dude..your subscribers luv ya !!😊❤😊
Brent, I'm sure you will be ok. Always trust your gut, it's mostly always right. It takes time to heal, there's no time limit. We will always be here, no matter how long it takes. Always look after yourself as you are your number one, plus your little co pilot. Thinking of you from across the pond in the UK.
Hi Brent. We all go through changes. I am at home not traveling, but yes there are "ehh" days that we are not inspired. We all "wake up" one day and say, "what got me here?" Is it being a Senior? I think so. Please take care of yourself, health is your peace too. I think your channel helps people that have health issues, so if your content is concerning that, then fine. No need to explain it all. We have all been through tor sure.... Blessings and feel better...
Hi Brent I have been following you since you hung out with Jeffie Bear, you are a good person. The new you will begin as you head east, i am looking forward to going along with you on the journey. Take care of yourself and the Dude! 😊❤❤❤
Ahhhh, good ole Jeffie. Thanks for the positive push
Beautiful shots, beautiful music, and a beautiful message. The beach is a good place to regroup IMHO.
Was told when I was younger, by someone, if u can't laugh at urself, u haven't lived! We all go through difficult times in our lives, the thing is, u can make/ take, another step forward! Blessings to you! Be safe, & safe travels!
Always striding forward
Quick lil ps..keep smiling..keep luvin life and keep your awesome humor..till a brighter day tomorrow Brent..may that sun shine upon yous !!😊
.
Thanks for all the comments, they are appreciated
You’re on the right road now. You left a bad situation. Take it one day at a time but keep moving forward. Don’t look back. Hope you feel better soon.
Pitter patter
Being honest with yourself is a good thing and once you come to the realization of things you can move forward without regrets..
It's all part off the learning process of life no matter the age, positive attitude and out look is a healing part of life..
Love and hugs from Australia.
Exactly
Yay !! Road Trip😊❤😊!!!
oh yikes. life. I read through the lovely comments from the community you have built here, and see I could add nothing. just sorry you are sad, and love that Dude feels you need checking in on. x
Thank you so much!
Hi, Brent! I'd love to wake up to a nice little fireplace (that works right). That shelf is just in the right space so you can stay in bed and watch TV. You're looking good. Morningside Park is really beautiful, quiet, and serene. Brent, I watch you because I like you and your content. We understand your limitations, and accept it. In fact, we identify with all the joys, trials, tribulations. We have them, too. I haven't seen a bad video yet. Maybe, it's me. Please don't change. Don't blame yourself! It's okay. I'm older, a little slower (maybe a lot slower). Hard to do too much if the asthma or the back pain kicks in. Yes, I also bend over backwards with other people. I have a hard time speaking up, and letting go. See, no problem! Carry on. Be safe. Stop feeling like you're the problem. Just be you. I must have missed a lot of videos, because I definitely missed a few things. Please try to get your health in line first. I've been in the place where I couldn't catch my breath. Keep using the scooter if you need to enjoy the outdoors. It's easier than trying to pack a scooter. Best wished sent your way.
❤️
There's nothing wrong with being single with a pet or pets. Why does society make it seem tragic if you are single. I'm fine with myself and my pups.
I hear ya
Love hurts. But we all keep learning. You will come through the other side. Don’t let a bad apple spoil the batch. Enjoy your trip this summer making new memories and healing. Happy trails Brent.
When life gives you bad apples, make pie
It is hard to move on but we must, To allow new friends, new experiences to enter our life. Good l🤞 😊
I just had my first encounter with a narcissist relationship, took me a year to get out of it
Brent, you are an awesome person. That person was so toxic. She even messaged me ..
Lol. I can imagine.
We all have ups and downs. Yes, it can affect the things you do.
I enjoyed Denman island and I enjoyed the Quadra and Cortes videos as we were on the islands a week apart. This coming week it will be a few days volunteering at a work camp for kids. Getting ready for their summer season.
Maybe when I am back we can go for coffee?
I’d love that, but I’m on the road. Heading east
I hear you on the Mom and Dad thing. Hang in there. You have so much more in your life and self than many of us trying.
Sending only the best..be good to yourself and we await your videos 😊
Biggest hugs to you my friend. I am the same with a soft heart.❤❤❤
:) GO Brent! THANKS MUCH for all yo do and share! Leaving unhealthy Relationships IS tough! Taken 5 years to let go of lsat one, that a GOOD Friend called 'TORRID' at best. Hang in there and better Dayze ahead for all of us I hope! Cheers!
Thanks Marty
I have been through the same thing it hurts finally seeing a person for whom they really are when you thought they were the best but by far are not. It takes time and sometimes a long time to get over it. Take care of yourself Brent no need to say sorry alot of us love you and enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Kathy. Thank God it’s not my first rodeo
Hey Brent, thanks for sharing and just keeping who you are always positive and happy you always make my day. I look forward to your next video. Be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️🙏👍🫶🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
Hi Brent. New subscriber. But have been somewhat following you on the fringe for awhile now enjoying getting to know your lovely sense of humour and personality from all the times you have assisted our mutual friend Jeff.
No apologies needed. Your content is very enjoyable and your giggle is quite infectious 😂
Life, and relationships are not for the faint of heart. All that we can hope for is that we come out the other side a bit smarter and with some personal growth.
I myself was done wrong after putting in 16 years with someone I thought was my big love of my life. I was apparently wrong. And was blindsided by the depth of their mistreatment and transgressions.
But thankfully with the help of a sensible life loving tree hugging bestie and some Van lifers on UA-cam who allowed me to keep dreaming and looking forward …. I am coming out the other side. 3 years later …. But still. Lol.
Whether you are still looking for Miss ( or Mr ) Right (I’m not sure of your situation so I don’t want to assume anything) or whether you are content staying solo and enjoying your travels and life. The next adventure and friend awaits you somewhere down the road.
I hope we get the opportunity to meet and converse some day whenever my sorry azz makes it to the road.
And I’ll be …… ( In the words and lyrics of the amazing Barry Gibb)
I’ll be……. Following YOU!
Very very nice. Thank you so much fit this. It’s nice to be reminded that we are not alone in the boat
Hey buddy good morning! You’re a really good friend and I hope you’re feeling better Brent . I’m caretaker for my wife , life on life’s terms is very tough at times. I am always appreciative of your honesty with class and not to hurt others is a quality that you can hold onto for your life!Thanks Brent .
Thanks Brian
I first caught up with you, while you was helping Jeffie Bear. You earned a lot of respect from me as I watched you. I don't know exactly what it is that you are talking about. But I have become a new subscriber. Good luck. I'm looking forward to your channel, and don't be too hard on yourself.
Thanks Paul, and welcome
You are a beautiful person. Don't let life get you down. Remember tomorrow is a new day. I followed you for a long time. You are a genuine nice person. 🤗❤
❤️
Hi from South Carolina! This is my first video watching you and I’m sorry this happened to you but things will get better 😊 I will go watch your other videos thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much!! And thanks for subbing
Wow i so totally know where your coming from. Your going to heal and you dont have to apologise.
I appreciate that
Always here for you my friend. Hope you have a safe trip east and fun when you get to your friends.
Hey! We try people on for size, sometimes they fit great and other times not at all! Thats life. No worries here! It was obvious to me that this wasn’t your best fit or look. I’m glad to hear that you are better now.
So true
You got this Brent…they always something to learn about our self. Save travel and take care ❤of
Love learning
First time viewing your channel. Look forward to catching up some. Cheers to taking care of yourself! Have no idea of your circumstances but wish you well in the post relationship stage too. Stay open, educate yourself (narcissism) if necessary. It can be tricky. We never stop learning or growing at any age it seems. Speaking from experience. Best wishes!
Welcome aboard, thanks and I hear ya
Brent on ward and upward as they say. . Rearranging our thoughts is always a process and will continue throughout our lives. Wipe the dust off and remember we become the greater us through trials. Live learn and carry on. You are a great person who inspires many keep being you. Love yah friend.
Thanks Rene
Take it easy Brent. Have a great evening.
Wishing you all the best Brent..this rough patch will pass..a lot of people love you for your warm heart and fun loving ways..Peace
Thanks so much
I fully understand. We give and others take. We realize all of sudden that it was not good. It starts great and then the true personality comes out. But, you still gave good content. I loved your touristy clips. I so want to come to the island because of you and Emi. Be good to yourself. Forgive yourself. Try to are the negativity. Bless you.
Thanks Linda, and get your butt to the island
Good to see the good in people, especially your SELF. Being Aware will keep you from getting attached to someone not healthy for you. The love you share is apparent!
❤️
You need to start with forgiving yourself. All these experiences are part of our soul’s experiences of being human. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, breathing issues indicate emotional blockages in the body. Grief can directly affect breathing. There is much to grieve here; but the more you can nurture contentment and stay in the present (not the past or future) the quicker those blockages can dissolve. Your videos are great and I look forward to each one. Humanity is in a very awkward stage right now (kinda like adolescence) nothing is what it seems. We yearn for community and connection. Probably the main reason I watch van lifers - Im stuck in place and vicariously find joy in what you and others are doing. You’ve got this! Upward and onward Brent! This is all part of what makes your content human, relatable, and interesting. (And, if you could ask the Universe to zen my Hyundai an alternator that would sure help 😊) FWIWI have had breathing issues my whole life. My knees have started 4 arthritis and I have serious back issues. Everyday I walk my dogs and do Qigong. No knee replacements for me-gotta keep going. I turn 65 on the 13th. Also I think Dude’s air tag story is hilarious. I’ve gone searching for air tags many times. Never had that happen though… yet. PEACE-LOVE & GRANOLA!
Some wise words there
@@BrentsVanLife someday our trails will cross and we can sit and watch the waves. I have a favorite tea towel “Life’s a beach. Enjoy the waves!”😉
Perfect @Lazytea
Brent, I'm sorry things didn't work, we all go through life experiences and we learn to be more cautious getting involved with people, but just don't trust that they seem to be, trust must be earned and people don't always have a good heart, I myself learned that the hard way,
Hey Brent. Sending you much love and hugs.
A fresh start is as good as a good rest.
No need for apologies.That is a part of life I am going through the exact same thing.But hopefully you're not experiencing non-stop texts and mean things from the other person all night long all day long. Let's hope it ends soon and we can be ourselves again. Thanks Brent 👍🏻🇺🇲
Block that person. And if they continue open a police file on them. That usually shuts them up
I didn't want it to come to that, but I've been thinking the exact same thing.Thanks for your support
@@hubcaps1990Prayers out to you🙏✌️ Yeah it sounds like she became a bit of a stalker. Stay strong and vigilante .
You guys are awesome
Thanks smilingbeaver all the encouragement helps a bit
I am sorry you are going through a bad patch right now. I watch, because you are a regular stand up guy, taking us places in the Province I live in, and have not been well enough recently to get out there myself. I see you, with health issues forging ahead in spite of it all, going to places, and visiting life long friends, enjoying life as best as you can. It was never my business to question your personal life, and just enjoyed that things you were able to present to us. No apologies required for being human - we all have our stuff going on, especially as we get older. Sending a virtual "hug". Tomorrow will be better, and then the day after that a bit better again.
The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, the sun will come out
Brent - Everybody of us has this from time to time and you must take the YOU need. We can wait and we will see. We are ere to support you.
I’ll keep trudging
Don’t let it worry you too much Brent. Like the old saying goes. “ sh*t happens “. That may sound a little severe or it might not but the gist of it follows something I’ve realized through my Life and my trials and tribulations. Like Tom Cochrane’s song goes “ Life is a Highway……”. Highways started to change around the time you and I would have been going through school. Old roads followed the lay of the land. Roads didn’t go through didn’t a hill they went around it. Roads didn’t go over a river they followed along it. Then the need to get to places faster and maybe safer turned those roads into long straight stretches with a few necessary slight curves. Trips began to require less adjustment to your course and usually a “steady speed “ and so did Life. I have made long road trips without stopping except to eat, fuel up or use the facilities. I didn’t “ stop to smell the Roses so to speak. Maybe that’s why I discovered your videos and started to look forward to your Posts. I can still remember almost a year ago when I at work at the gas station out the highway from Prince Rupert and my co-worker said “ hey look at that cool old bus with the VW emblem on it “. Then while looking at some UA-cam a few days later I saw one post titled “ back in my old hometown of Prince Rupert “ and I watched it. I was thinking, who is the Brent guy? I knew a few Brent’s back in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn’t until I watched another one of your posts where you went for lunch with your sister that I realized that you were the the Brent who used to hang out with my good friend Laurie’s brother Dale. Thanks for the next 10 months of showing me some of the places less travelled. I really enjoyed almost all of them but I’m sort of still mostly a modern highway kind of guy so I haven’t watched some of the longer ones. This one sees me having watched the video and not feeling the same way one of your videos usually leaves me feeling. All I can say is, “ this too will pass “ as well I have to add, these things happen, people will sometimes just “ find “ the people they need and sometimes those people fulfill something in us that we need. I’m not saying this was the case but “ toxic “ people will find people who will fill their needs for a short while but since the work they need to do in Life is their own to do the negative things come out after a week or two moths etc. Don’t take this as a negative by any means. If you learned something about yourself and will be aware or will correct you how you respond if it occurs again, that’s a win. Look after your health. Stay busy and continue to reflect but appreciate that even in bad situations or relationships there are always some positives to take from it.
Ah, such wise words. I’ll be seeing Laurie next month
Wow Crazy Brent. I am going the the exact same thing at the moment. Thanks for sharing and the comment about difficulty letting go of the past struck a chord with me. Hugs and good luck on the journey. sending hugs
You got this!
Dude is so cute right on cue comes up to see you, they know when we are feeling down.
Unwards and Upwards Brent
You got it, it's a new day you get to choose what to make of it.
Relationships you loose a part of your identity as two people become one, not all can find the right balance. friendships can be just as fulfilling. Some need more some need less we are all unique so live your life for you. Everyone comes into our lives for a purpose. Some aren't meant to stay.
Take care Much love 🤗 🤗
Some aren’t meant to stay. Speaks volumes. 😊❤
People come into our lives
For a reason
For a season
For a life time
Which one are you …
@@BrentsVanLife a lifetime 🫶 friendship is something I value dearly
Welcome back Brent, I felt it yesterday in your live, and said to myself, he’s back. The most important relationship to work on is with yourself.
Got that right
Sounds like you are processing your emotional hurt. Which is healthy! This too shall pass! You have a great attitude.
Why thank you. It’s muchly appreciated
Expansion is awesome !!😊❤😊
Your video is about moving to a new chapter...we re doing that too...in our case its wrapping up life with mom, and going in retirement...with you, its sad that things werent going well with someone, but you will be fine and we ll be glad to see you working it out and do some good things 😊take care❤
I know Laura, one day at a time
Take care. It's a good time of year for new beginnings.
Well Brent look at all the love coming at ya!, no need to say sorry,and thanx for sharing with us, yes you are really kind, oh boy i could tell you storiess HA ha!! i think we are all here to learn, I saw some red flags way back, and as it seemed some of these issues happened before,I knew something was Off for sure, and it takes a little time to move through feelings of being violated. WE are not spring chickens anymore, every day a journey a gift, and taking care of our health. big hugs, love all the joy you share , kaz
I’m sorry you’ve had a heartbreak. I kind of quit watching because I knew it was a bad situation. And the strange way she came into your life. Don’t beat yourself up .Love you Brent. ❤️
✌️
Thank you Brent for sharing! This will help alot of people to open up!
Sorry your going through this!😢 Sometimes the pain makes us better people. You are not dumb or stupid. I see a smart and very kind and caring person. Hang in there this too shall pass!

You are doing great as far as you tube. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!
Thanks Rhonda
You’re a really great guy and what and who is right for you are waiting just down the road 😊♥️ And well done for doing yourself right! You so deserve the best of the best and never settle for less 👍 🥰
🥰👍
Brent never give up on being you. Seeing the good in people, forgiving and loving are what the world needs more of. Generally, when people are putting someone else down or pointing out their flaws or trying to change them it’s because they are unhappy with themselves and it’s easier to control someone else then fix their own problems. Take the time to heal your heart and be proud of the great person you are.
So very true
Sometimes there's no fixing a relationship. At the first sign of that, leave that relationship, no exceptions! Run and get far away. Good luck with your fresh start ☺️
Be careful not to always be running away, yes you avoid some pain but you can spend your whole life on the run and lonely. It's better to have loved and lost that to never of loved at all.
@@denisemckiver69 LoL. I don't need an education. I've learned the hard way. If something can't be fixed, leave today. 20 years ago was the last time I tried to fix a relationship. It wasn't worth it. Lonely? No! I'm doing just fine. Contentment is a wonderful thing.
Not my first time at bat.
I use the “screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me”
@@BrentsVanLife oh I know that. I wasn't giving anyone life lessons. I'm more speaking about my past experiences. I've had a few of them. It took me until about 40 years to figure it out.
Glad it worked out for you, we all travel a different path in life.
It's 537 pm here in Southern California I love to watch your videos hang in there my friend you're going to pull through this always remember God's got you 🙏 ❤️ 😊
Sorry to hear that you are going through some tough times. Sending out love, peace and granola 😉
Mmmmm, granola
What I admire about you & your channel is the genuineness and professionalism. It’s obvious that you ‘work’ full time on your videos. I guess the sign of a pro is that you still put out quality videos even though your heart may not be in it. I have fallen down on my productions and have been inspired to do better. By the way I want to steal your quick edit intro concept, wonderful. We all love ya, hang in there!
Thank you so much!
Thinking of you pal. It is amazing things from the past and a school etc do have a big impact of your life and who you are and what you think of yourself. As I have gotten older there's still things that stick and always will. But at the end of the day the only one you need to love and impress is yourself. There no better love, its not easy to get but always the best thing to strive for as know one else can give it to you, its only in your hands to give and accept. I hope this next chapter is one of self love and adventure and happiness brother. Hope to meet up for a campout one day brother. happy trails keep up the good work!
You’re awesome Jerry, thanks
No worries, enjoy what you have before you ‼️❤ no sorry mate !!

God Bless I hope you come back to you
Good Morning, I am sorry to hear it did not work out and the subsequent realization that you lost a little of yourself in the experience. Now, you are on to new things. And that precious dog is always by your side helping you through it. For future videos - and it could be 2025/26 or even 2027 - have you considered Haida Gwaii? That would be amazing to watch. It is on my bucket list but a 7hr ferry ride with two GSDs on rough water feels daunting. I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care and Thank you for sharing. 💖
Love the Charolette’s. Amazing island. Will see
Love Haida Gwaii, been once
