    I was there the last weekend of January, it was my first nomad gathering. I came in my little Honda, next year I'll be driving my short schoolie with a stage on top. I had a great time!

    Wow, so many dogs...first thing I noticed! Not that I'm not a dog person, but after losing ours a few years back, we decided to never get another, as the pain is too great! Nonetheless, this is something I've never done, nor probably will do now that I'm a senior, but I do love the idea, and this would have gone well with the 'young me, back in my twenties. As I write this, I'm in our Class A diesel pusher, as comfort is more the game for us! Hope you've all had a wonderful time, and the big hugs you gave one another when your friends arrived, reminds me of our younger years as well, when our kids where...well, kids, and now they have their own kids!! Stay safe all!

    • @FnAVanLife
      @FnAVanLife  4 місяці тому +5

      I'll bet you give the best grandparent hugs!!! Yes so many dogs and so many people!! Dogs and life on the road really do go well together. I wish we could have brought our own dog to the event but since we flew in that just wasn't possible. Sounds like you guys are living it up!! And there were actually quite a few class A motor homes at the event, really nice fancy ones, you'd fit right in!! Think about it for next year, it's really all ages!!

    • @NoteFromSELF
      @NoteFromSELF 3 місяці тому +1

      🙄 Losing a dog is part of the deal. Did you stop having family or friends after you lost some? Lots of dogs need homes. I just never understand that logic. It's selfish.

      Exactly! Too many people are just rude in public. If you want to get shitface drunk & rage music till the sun cums out , go out in the boonies. At deepcreek Hotsprings they were hooting & raising hell til 4 am , butt by 6 am they were sleeping good till we got our pans out & played some obnoxious kitchen pan music . They apologized , they realized they were drunk a holes .

      🎉 I agree to a degree because there will be someone not happy about them seeming to exploit actual Nomad and vehicle life

    • @FnAVanLife
      @FnAVanLife  3 місяці тому

      We have been nomads and vanlifers fulltime for the last 4 years of our lives. We have traveled all over US, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. If people think we are exploiting they don't know us. We have many friends in the community and we help people all the time for free. I actually just helped a couple the other day with their electrical issues. No charge. I helped many people getting unstuck, jump peoples cars, and much much more. We clean up others messes when we see garbage.
      I could keep on going but I'll just leave this here. If someone needs my help out on the road I got there back. Because I know what being kind does.
      Your Name is Love and Loyalty so where is the love?

    Hello, what a great video, showing us what it is like at Quartzite! the baby was just a doll, and so good. You all have great friends, its nice to see you all helping one another. YOur a great cook, by the way. I loved the rig, not sure I could operate it without a man to help me, after all I am 80 years old. When I was about 10 our family's went to Point of Penisco and spent the whole summer there fishing and smoking fish. all us kids were outside constantly. no rain there at the time and we had a ball. Looks like you all enjoyed your time too. It was so nice of the rock guy to gift you a stone, I hope you wear it a lot. Thanks for showing us your fun time.

    Hi guys. Have to tell you how much I'm enjoying this. I grew up camping. My father would take us every fourth of July to Ensenada BC in a small truck and camper and somehow my mom made it work with a tiny closet, 3 drawers and stove with 2 burners for 5 of us! Best part was sitting around the fire or walking through the camp ground meeting people! Dealt with the loud music as well. Anyway.... you're sure bringing back great memories. As always stay safe.

    I work in the dispensary business in Colorado and have lived off grid for 8 years on top of a mountain at 8,700 FT.
    Never built anything in my life until I built this house and I just UA-camd how to do it.

    Respect and organization are not opposite and sometimes they can help each other. But respect is perspective. The people who value sleep vs those who value partying. So minimal organization might be helpful to solve the respect issues. This area for people who don't mind or want music and this area for those that want to party. Pretty simple.

    • @FnAVanLife

      Lots of us have found ways to make money on the road. But I will say at times it can feel really difficult, and you have to put lots of hard into not only figuring it out to keeping your business going.
