  • Wow, it was AWESOME to have Bob Wells & his team from ‪@CheapRVliving‬ stay at my place for a few days. I really enjoyed their company and loved the nomad/off-grid life conversations with Bob. In this video, we pick up a few minutes into a conversation I was having with Bob on my front porch. I loved learning his backstory and how he helps the nomad/off-grid communities. Enjoy this snippet from our Friday morning chat! ~ Brian & Sierra

    I've been watching Bob for about 4 years. You about a month, because of Bob. My wife and I were going to RV, bus, whatever when I retired at 67. She passed away in July 2022. I thought if not now, when? In December I loaded my minivan up and drove to Florida, then to Q where I met Bob, and so many other great people. Today I am 64 yo!! I'm in the process of selling everything and will be full time on November 7th. In the next year or so I hope to find my "peace of earth", and thus why I like your channel. Be well, live free, and I hope to see you down the road!

Once I finish the next stage of my truck my build, I'm going to start dumping excess cash into my home while I downsize for this lifestyle. It's a ten year plan that I'm five years into, and you (and CheapRVLiving too) have been a huge inspiration and almost a guide for me.

    Great conversation! I have been following both of your channels for years and this was fun hearing more of the backstory. You have both helped and inspired me to leave the rat race, which I did April of 2022. As an introvert, the insurance sales world burned me out badly. The simple life, having enough, and living life on your terms resonates so much with me. I look forward to meeting new like-minded friends on the road and off-grid!

Any case. Carry on, best to you both sierra too!

    I believe this is the same guy whom Bob interviewed about buying land and living in a community. I think Bob lives near him as they both have red cinder gravel and a semi? private well. I wish there was a way to find out more and meet pre-communities for people who do want to buy their own property there, but find like minded neighbors to buy adjacent lands. I know you all cannot give out your coordinates or you would be overwhelmed, and probably the land out there is going to shoot out the roof in price, but any ideas on how to approach buying land so one is not isolated?

      Nobody advocating for “15 minute cities” want people “corralled” into those spaces. They’re simply advocating for the possibility of that in North America. Ultimately, nomads and sustainable city advocates want the same thing; a good and happy life surrounded by those we care about and a life less forced into suburban corporate conformity.

    There ARE people who want to stop what Nomads are doing. A larger population of nomads IS at some point going to annoy the people who lobby our government to give landlords what they want > Renters (no one is going to be able to own homes = there's going to be landlords).
    So a logical evolution would be for us to create nomadic cyber communities. Nomads will pool themselves into the position of buying land in the desert(s) and forest(s) in the large unpopulated middle America, but annex a portion of one site to become the homeland. All nomads are welcome to designate this new 'County' annex as their legally registered Domicile and we build a huge voting block.
    Otherwise, there's going to be "Karens" in our society that will organize to list all our negatives on their Karen society
