I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 8.5+ years. I am a photographer and forager. We enjoy hiking, camping, paddle boarding, climbing and being outside as much as we can. We have countless stories and lessons to share and are always trying to learn new skills and improve in many aspects of life. Thank you for coming along.

My heart can’t hardly handle Frank all snuggled up in the sleeping bag! It’s so precious. I’m glad y’all were able to stay warm. I’m looking forward to hearing how life with dependable power is!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I think it will be a major game changer 🤩
Seeing Frank being as adorable as ever and Amanda bring her usual bad ass self is the best update! Stay true. Sending 🔥❤️
I love how good a dog guardian you are! Frank is so lucky to have you. You take such good care of him. ❣
37° here in Rhode Island. So inspiring to hear your positive take on stuff that happens. Rubs off, which is why I watch you.
Thank you, I appreciate that 😊
Man Amanda! Your perseverance in enduring the cold is amazing! Jacq (my GSD) and I were watching this and Jacq loves when he sees Frank. He barks out his hellos to his fellow canine! Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing your story with us!!!!
Nice to see you both snuggling and making due without the heater. That waterfall was absolutely beautiful and relaxing! 💕
Morning Frank, from Charity and Tom. If you have a terracotta flower pot and you put a candle under it. It throws off a fare amount of heat. Have a great week. I love watching your channel and I also enjoy Flossies.I can relate to both you amazing strong woman.
It's also very dangerous, please research the dangers before you do this, people have started fires in their homes this way.
A week back to no heat sure gives perspective on how cold and humid it does get 😔 I'm impressed on how you've taken the challenge and remained calm and positive. You bring such positive, calming and renewing energy thank you. I most certainly appreciate, enjoy and in love with your new channel it is the best, helps my anxiety and depression. Great big thank you 🤗🤗
Much love 💜🐾
Sometimes you just have to get comfortable with the idea of being uncomfortable and simply embrace it. As you say, it's a good life skill. As always, really enjoyed the episode and have a wonderful week ahead Amanda. Cheers !
One more thing. Thank you Amanda and Frank for making a positive impact on my life and I know for others too! I always love the Frank clips at the end.
You and Frank are such excellent beings 🐾💕💫🧘♀️ thank you for sharing
You are such a inspiration to me. Watching you and Frank always charges my energy level when I'm down. Thank you
Amanda, I worry about you and Frank in that cold, but I also recognize that you are acclimated to your environment. I am glad to hear that you're able to able to get the Truck fixed, or updated to give you heat. Be safe and be careful.
Bummer about no heat! But I love your attitude and your generosity in sharing your experience. Your tender and playful relationship with Frank inspires me to be more playful with our new dog. He’s a nervous guy and life needs to be gentle and fun at the same time.
Amanda- You keep Frank's info to yourself for as long as it takes for you to Be Ready to tell us all.. We will wait n send love n prayers n healing thoughts to yous. We love you both so naturally are eager for information But more than that we want You to be true to you and to Frank first n take however long you need.
Hugs n prayers,
We'll always be here❤🙏🏻🐾
33:10 mark: I love the Frank n' Fire moment. Thanks for your work on this video. Very much enjoyed, as always.
That's a great moment!
Thanks Mike, I hope you’ve had a great weekend.
awwww Frank, so cozy in that sleeping bag. He had blinky blinky eyes, nighty night Frank. Waterfalls are not only mesmerizing but so good for the mind/soul
Honestly this is one of my favorite videos of Fr💜nk, yourself and nature. 🔥
Sorry about your heat situation but I'm so happy your such a thriver! Your perseverance and love of Frank..and appreciation for life is inspiring ❤🙏🏽
Omg frank is an angel
If you have a big pot heat up some rocks and use 2 sticks to lift them in the pot and put in your van over night for some radiant heat.
So glad to hear you have a van builder on tap to fix your power and heat set up. Here is to you and Frank have a warm and cozy winter.
Having a local van builder is one of the few good things about vanlife growing so much over the years 😆
I'm so glad I found your channel,it helps me so much,I think your the only real van lifer,iv watched others,but when times get ruff for them they run to home or friends homes to beat the heat or cold but not u your so strong and u really just make the best out of whatever life throws at ya .I think your great and best wishes for u and Frank ...looking forward to your next adventure
Thank you ☺️
@@tidelinetoalpine thanks for the reply,you need to come visit me sometime in oklahoma
I bought a Little Buddie Heater at Walmart to have for an emergency. It was 89.00..
If the power goes out it is totally worth it to be able to warm up.
Great episode! I really admire how you manage with joy through tough times. Best wishes.
I have a 15 years old REI Downtime 20 sleeping bag. I just bought a Kelty Cosmic down 40 for warmer weather (beside being $30). If it is really cold in the car I can double up my sleeping bags for more warmth. Frank is too precious for words burrowing into sleeping bag:)
You are such an inspiration! Prayers for Franks health 🐾💕 Love your ambient channel & I watch the commercials as it helps 🫶
I watch them too for you Amanda & Frankie. Hate them, but its an easy way to give back. Ty for all you share with us! ❤
Amanda sending you vibes can’t imagine your struggle with wait. Frankie your the best. Hopefully your heater and battery situation is figured out. ❤😊
Thank you, it’s been a tough wait but everyone can expect a update in the next video
awe praying for the best for frank and love your videos.
Nice video Amanda, I hope you get your heat fixed soon. Love to you and Frank. ❤
That dog has the best life ever. :) I just can't deal with the cold, so more power to you for sleeping in that cold car, I'm impressed! And yay for veggie sausages!
Thanks for sharing your tips on how to deal with the cold when living without heat. I have a little tip for you, too! When I have a bunch of salad greens to use up, I bring some broth to a boil, then plunk the greens right in. It makes a nice warming pot of soup. I like the Better than Boullion products and they have a veggie one. It keeps forever because the concentrate is real salty. I hope you'll soon have heat AND good news about Frank's health.
23 degrees the other night, same type of situation here in Washington State.
Plenty of layer's and blankets you're already on the right track!.
Stay safe,warn and blessed!.
I am glad you have Frank to keep you warm. He is such a gift.
Fire is both the most amazing gift and the greatest devastator, right? Im really enjoying the ambient channel and even used one to help me settle in for sleep, after a truly stressful day. I highly recommend it. It seems such a long time of waiting for Frank’s test results. In the meantime, you are both in my prayers.
Hi Amanda, beautiful views of the waterfalls and rivers, beautiful tall trees, love it, I feel so sad that you and Frank have no heating, I have no heating in my van, but then I don’t live in mine full-time. That fire you had was great, it certainly warmed me up just looking at it, but for you two it must have been a joyous moment. Thank you for another awesome video of you and Frank. You certainly are a joy to watch, all the best to you both. 🤟🏼✌️💕💕💐💐🌺🌺🌷🌷
It looked like Frank was moving pretty well (and enjoying being out for a walk), even with his arthritis. Makes me wonder if the cold actually helps him. I would think the opposite would be true, but he looked pretty good here. Whatever the case, I’m glad you two have had lots of snuggle time. Frank’s nose poking out from under the sleeping bag is so cute. Take care, you two!
Ya I always hear of senior going to Arizona for winter to help their arthritis but he was so excited to be in the cold even before our heat stopped 🤷🏻♀️
Really appreciate this offering. And seeing how happy Frank is. Cold - it’s a challenge. Thanks for illuminating ways to be in the cold.
You’re so real, friend. That’s what I like about you. That’s why I keep watching. You’re just really genuine. Thanks for being you.
*@**13:52** . . . ohhh myyy gerd Frankee is e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. Amanda* !!

*Anyone new to channel* ? You truly *NEED* to subscribe to both channels
I promise you you will not ever regret it. Also ensure to watch the co-pilot
and his sidekick hooman Amanda from the past year of channel.
Frankee doggo sits within all so many very heart of hearts. So glad that he found
you all those years ago.
Wow you two are having fun. That breakfast looks yummy. Frank I loved that bowtie you look so cute. Cold snow. Beautiful sun . Nice adventures you two are having. Beautiful Nature forest. Frank looks nice and warm in his sleeping bag. That Crane was telling Frank hey you underneath the sleeping bag. Living a happy life. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Mr Buddy Heater(propane), vent window a little. It's something that would work. Hot, water bag/bottle to fill and put in your sleeping bag. Frank looks so handsome with his bow. Eating ❄️ so cute 🥰.Love the waterfalls 😍
I love watching your beautiful views. I'm loving your other channel tidelinetoalpine AMBIENCE. Frank under the sleeping bag is adorable. All the best to you and Sweet Frank.
Keeping warm in autumn and winter is comforting, building fires, hot food and drinks, warm blankets. Our house is cold, I have thrifted several wool blankets and sweaters. It's nice to feel cosy and wrapped up. Hope you and Frank get your heating before the depths of winter arrive
Very relaxing view of nature. Frank looks so happy and contented as usual. 😃
Once again, another great video. Loved the mountains and beautiful waterfalls. Stay warm
Maybe put a vertical thermos rack on your wall by where you normally use it
A backup Mr.Buddy for sure.
Those are very beautiful waterfalls and you take very nice pictures thank you. Stay warm and Frankie to.
Glag u are both snuggle bugs staying warm.. luv those waterfalls, perfect👍.. stay warm you two😘
Nice love Frank's bow tie
Hi Amanda! I love your channel. You are an inspiration. I really love how much you love nature, adventure, travel and most of all Frank. What a sweetheart 💕You mentioned your ambience channel but I wasn’t able to find it. Can you direct me? Thanks! - Sandy
It’s called ‘tidelinetoalpine AMBIENCE’ I’ve also posted links in the community tab and will again soon
Amanda, I have loved all of your videos. I wish I could do what you do. Unfortunately, I live in Florida. Best of luck to you and Frank ❤
I loved it when you got the fire going. You and Frank could live on a glacier I bet! So badass, but also the beauty of winter is just a quiet, meditative deep time to rest into. Thanks for being so friendly and slow and authentic
Great video, as always ☺
I'd like to give you a couple of warming tips for future. You can use a terracotta pot and the terracotta base w a candle lit, it puts off heat nicely. Also if you gathered some small stones and heat them in your camp fire, then place them in a metal pan w a lid, put it under your covers to warm the inside of the blankets. I lived off grid for 6mo and I did a lot of improvising ☺ Of course my 2 dogs was a great source if warmth as well.
Take care ☮
Absolutely beautiful scenery Amanda, and Frank is adorable.. stay safe and hope the heater gets fixed soon.
Here I am. Good 😊 Morning 🌻
Sunday morning. 29 degrees in N Texas. Thankful you aren't in New York w all that ❄️ ⛄☃️⛄ snow
Frank sure knows he is loved.❤️😊
Hi Amanda and Frank. Yourself and Handsome Frank always manage to make me smile like a Cheshire Cat. Big four-legged boys, love their mummy cuddles. Stunning scenery, thank you!
The quality of your videos is amazing. You have progressed with every video. Hopefully you have stable power now. I have spent winter in my vehicle. I don't like it at all. I hope not to have to do it again. You are a veteran winter van dweller. Thanks for the video. Until next time as they say keep it between the ditches. Lol.
Great inspirational video. Reminding us we can endure some discomfort and in doing so makes us stronger. You are such a great mom to Frank; ALWAYS attending to his needs and snuggling together is the best! Loved his tie…looking his best whilst out for a walk😊. Take care❤
Awww, your snuggle buddy is so sweet.
So wonderful to see all the love filled snuggles with Frank a d you. That is me and my Scrappy baby too. Your campsite and fire were awesome. Wishi g the very best news for you 2. Take care,be strong. PEACE
If you would like to try this DIY heater it seems to work really well in small spaces as long as you put it in a spot like on a table away from anything that could catch fire. Just take a small empty paint can, you can buy them with with a sealable lid. Push down into the can a roll of toilet paper, preferably one that fits the can perfectly. Pour in a large bottle 70% alcohol. Isopropyl. Let it soak in really well and then simply light it with a lighter and it will burn for about 2 hours and throws off a lot of heat and will warm you right up. You just put the lid on and it extinguishes the flame to reuse and simply add more alcohol each time you use it. Use a coin to open the can again or a butter knife. Check the inside of the can regularly to make sure it is not degrading and if it is, just simply make a new one,. This really works well and is safe as long as you have it somewhere where it won't be disturbed. Consider it emergency heat.
It's just so beautiful. I completely understand why you live this creative way of life, appreciate your sharing of experience, competency and relishing of nature. We are so lucky. Thank you Amanda and Frankalin.
Very cute frank
Maybe warm sweater good for him
Living the dream! Some people can’t fathom being “alone” in the woods or away from people. I love the idea of it. Have a happy holiday !
Happy Thanksgiving from Maui. I am noticing how your videos keep getting better and better. Love to listen to your talks with Frank.
The waterfalls spot is so beautiful! Thank you ❣️
Many blessing to you for the awesome work you do....enjoy so much....much love to you and Frank...
Hugs Amanda! if you are ever on VI and need to plug in IM a PM away. Lost my travel buddy last week and I'm lost. Glad our boy Frank is on the right side of the bridge!!
Another Excellent Video with Amanda and Frank and Nature being Excellent for us🧡🐾🧡
Pretty simple - buddy heater Canadian tire
Not trying to tell u what u do with ur dog, but I would put a sweater on Frank when ur out walking in that cold weather he doesn't have thick fur to keep him warm, I think he would like that too🌞
Brr, thank you for sharing your life with us. Specially in the cold. Love your helpful hints. And Chrome may help you with your electric problem, you should get in touch with him. A small wood stove might work for you,maybe reach out for some info on this.stay safe and warm. God bless.
I love how you take care of Frank.
I use a beanie when it is very cold simply because we lose lots of heat from our heads plus I get an ear ache when ears are cold..I just love your Frank..caring for him must be a pleasure..
Been following you for a while, and I think you make one of the best examples for nomadic life. But especially in this vis I was just thinking how lucky you and Frank are to have one another. Thanks for the soul medicine.
I am such a baby when it comes to cold. I'm from Texas so it's 90% hot here during the year. I don't know how you can tolerate it so well. All more power to you & Frank! 💪
People who live in cold climates actually have thicker blood and when we allow ourselves to experience cold we build more brown fat which is good at insulating so I’m not only mentally strong but better conditioned physically because I do spend time being cold. So neat eh!
@@tidelinetoalpine i just need to come live with you and Frank haha. 💜💚
Here's a little trick I learned years ago about living in a van get you some Rain-X anti condensation in fog solution any parts store or online thoroughly clean all your inside windows windshield side windows what's the thirdly clean apply this on there and you won't have no more condensation fog for anything your glass will stay crystal clear and ice free I've been doing this for well over 25 years like that
As usual wonderful photography, and hello Frank
I'm so glad to hear your heat will be fixed.
Lovely to see you and Frank just being so close even if it is so cold. His bow tie was adorable. That breakfast sounds so freaking good. Stay warm. Look forward to next video. Sending you both so much love from
NashvilleTn.
Frank is so happy and content with you. That's great to see - peace.
Tea light candles!!!Put under an upside down clay flower pot with the single hole on top while lit candle inside!!! Best thing I’ve ever learned
I can relate to a lot of the joy you find in nature and spending time with your dog, frank. Thx for sharing! Would like to see more aspects of solo van life with dog!
Miss Amanda, you can get a small mini kerosene heater that would fit perfect in your van. It would keep you toasty and warm for at least 16 hours they sell them right on Amazon. They come in its own little package too it's own bag and stuff. All you would have to do is get a 5 gallon or even a one or three gallon gas can you could strap it to the top of your roof. I'm telling you these things keep you so toasty and warm. You might want to check it out on Amazon. It would last you at least a whole week worth if not more it doesn't require any electricity and it's safe. I've been using kerosene heaters for the past 35 years I've never had a problem. As long as we are cautious and we take the proper measurements there shouldn't be any problem and I know that you are responsible. They have the big kerosene heaters that are round but I'm not talking about that one there are smaller ones and they're like $69 and some of them are $170 I think that's just people being greedy but you can tell which ones are the smaller ones from the large ones. You could also keep very warm if you just have a metal cylinder like a utensil holder and a 6-in terracotta pot and you burn four tea light candles inside the metal it will keep your van nice and warm if it's 32° or more outside
Stay warm!
Frank's back legs walking are so cute.
❤ river shots. ❤️🔥❤️🔥 Another way to heat up ❤️🔥❤️🔥those canisters is to put one of those hand or foot warmers ❤️🔥❤️🔥under the canister and make a little cosy (like your pot one) so everything fits snug. It works great👍🏼. 🤗 to Frank 🥰
Wow beautiful water falls. Thanks for sharing that
Oh Amanda, you take some of the most breath taking shots I've ever seen! Love to you an Frank 💜
It's a good idea to heat rocks and put it in your van if you don't have heat
You make awesome videos Amanda.
I always look forward to your videos I know I’ve said this in the past. But you need to know that your life and the life you’re living is making a difference in our lives.
🙏🏼🥰💜
I enjoy both your channels. The sights and sounds of nature are medicinal. Thank you
Amanda love your videos you are very inspiring love watching you and Frank interact you love him so much it is obvious. Take care and looking forward to your next video and praying that all is well with Frank for you!!
Stunning place to camp and explore 💜💚 and frank 😊love him xx
You make the best fires! Sending good vibes to you and Frank. ✌️
Thank you!! I take great pride in my fire skills 😃
Stay warm Amanda😊
*@**21:22** eeeeee please say you have a pic of this w/h tongue out, hehe*
*@**33:09** oh my word . . .a total new FAV pic of the co-pilot now w/h fire*
p.s. Amanda *get that heat* by taking river rocks placing in or by the
campfire {wrap them in?!} then place around you when snuggled in?!
Just a thought as is tried and true by many.
Luuuv the drone shots & pic of truck blending in with trees.
Cold and wet together is bad. When your condensation freezes on the inside you can at least scrape it off and remove from the van/RV. I use a large syringe with a plastic fuel line tube and a squeegee when the condensation is still liquid on the windows to remove it because there’s little channels at the bottom of our 5th wheel’s windows, and I can squirt the moisture outside… the diesel heaters are a lifesaver!
