    From assumptions that I live off of 'daddy's money' to being a freeloader who doesn't pay taxes, it was time to address the reality of what its actually like being a UA-camr while living full-time on the road.

    Casey LaDelle in Bend Oregon in case you need a tow in the Bend area. He has a website and towes for free if he can record and use it on his website.
    Just an FYI because I heard you saying you were camping in the Bend area and would be there in the winter months.

    that paddle commute to the cafe was really fun to see. it does seem like self-discipline and being able to keep the balance between fun/work, structure/spontaneity is important for creator nomads.

    I love that you showed all this! I make UA-cam videos in a similar spirit as you about living and traveling full time on the road with my two cats and I really appreciate how you represented working full time while also doing what we do! I think a lot of people don't realise how much of it really is a full time job and that, while we may be able to be anywhere, that doesn't mean we can just do what we want, when we want - that theres so much hard work and routine that goes into making this work. Sending love to Mexico from my little corner in the mountains!

      I do too!! And to compare leaving your dog at home when you're at work is like comparing apples to oranges!! Because I'm sure a lot of people would take their animals with them to work if they are allowed - but it's just not happening 😕 well not true some lucky folks can and do!! But when you're out in a car/camper/van - you are already outside, right - you're your own boss, you make the rules!?!? And can-do things that involve them a whole lot more!! Also, in a Home/House, they do have a lot more room to roam around as opposed to sitting in a dark car/camper/van. OOh no excuse me they do leave a small window open for them. 🙄

    Most content creators are constantly in work mode and have terrible work-life balance. I sleep two feet from my With those who live in a rig, it's even harder because living on the road takes way more mental bandwidth, as there are so many things you have to think about that those who live in a building/ house don't have to.... they hear you say you lost heart in your vehicle in freezing temps. They only see that as an inconvenience since they don't put vehicle and home together... they just think of how their 20-minute commute to work would be annoying without heat... not a big deal though.
    I live full-time in a semi, and most think i sit in a chair all day spaced out listening to music... that would make me end up in prison or dead..getting to travel the country... even if i did have the time to stop, there won't be truck parking close enough to these beautiful areas... plus, i only drive at night, I love living on the road, but it's not an easy life. It has to be a way of life for you.

    • @jimsears2434

      That's understandable...most dogs hate those types of steps or grate bridges. Maybe a set of retractable ones are in the future if the budget allows. I remember on one video you were worried about going thru a washout and ripping your current ones off.

    Gee Dear I can see how hard your working, but look on the bright side, your not pouring concrete or working some job that leaves you longing for food and bed, or at some desk with people that you don't really like, and yeah I know that maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side of the hill, I wonder if the water is bluer where you are. I'm sure you don't mean to sound like your slaving away at making a video that supports your travels and leisure time, or the views and location but it kinda feels like that. Or you could talk about the conditions of the road, the weather, places you might have stopped that your felt safe in or at, and maybe how you found your parking place and what the natives are like, you could maybe even show a few shots of you playing on the beach that aren't so far away that it looks like a random adventurer that happened to be passing by. I realize it doesn't take seven days working every waking hour to produce a video and I plan to start doing it myself one day, but until then, remember your not flipping burgers working for some asshole manager who could care less how you feel about whatever.
