Just a word of caution: my puppy had the same kinda name tag and it got caught between porch floorboards and almost strangled her. I highly recommend name tags that can be sown into the collar. Pilot is adorable!
I don’t know how a gal so young can be so wise and insightful. I actually cried when you talked about time, about enjoying each day with Pilot as she won’t be a darling puppy( early mornings and chewing not withstanding ) for much longer. We are always looking for the next thing. Sometimes I just wish I could carry my 6’1” son to bed like when he was a little boy or hold my daughter in my arms when she so needed me and wanted that security and love.
We don’t have control over things like that but you reminded us all in this video to live in the moment, live each day , love unconditionally and don’t wish for things to hurry up. Thank you…..
Well said
I was teary eyed at the end of the video ... but your comment made me cry :D
@@RunikusArts thanks for your lovely comment:-)
I wish I had learned this 35 years ago, before I had my sons 🥺😢
Learning to live in the moment has been my mission in 2022. Spent almost a decade living for the weekend and although I love memories in that time, most of it was miserable because of my attitude. I love this video because its a great reminder to love where you're at in this moment knowing as long as you want more, and can balance both appreciation and motivation for progress, than you will someday end up somewhere amazing
I wanted to say something profound, but it has flitted away. You two are the hardest-working individuals I've encountered. Stay safe!
I’d like more shots of the A frame. Footage of hot springs just makes me envious.
The work is the reward. As someone in their 60’s I can look back and I’m amazed by what my hubby and I have accomplished. And, it warms my heart to see a young couple doing the “work” as well! 💕
I love watching Pilot grow and Kamp growing with her lol
She's already the size of Kamp. I swear she's bigger every morning than she was at night!
You always deliver a message I didn't know I needed, right when I need it most. ❤️
Such blessings, this pair. 💕
Me too!❤️
Well said 💖 Edit: And true!
So agree ❤
Yes, needed to hear that message as well. I need to enjoy and appreciate what IS today. Thank you Elsa Rhae💗
Pilot is adorable and is growing so fast! Camp is adjusting well. I got a puppy three years ago and the dog I already had just kept looking at me like “What the HeII did you do?” They are best friends now.
It's such a privilege to be part of something part of the excitement of seeing how you guys have just progressed over the years and now seeing that you guys are building your home it's just so exciting and I cannot wait for it to be completed and I'm so happy for you guys and I'm so happy for this beautiful new little puppy in your lives and I'm so glad that you guys are enjoying your time at the hot springs keep us posted on everything regarding the build I'm just so excited once this project is completely done I'll be excited for the new projects that you have and I want to see everything
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be able to see how you guys are moving along in life. it's amazing being able to watch your journey. From the scamp to homesteaders...wow!
Thank you for following along!
Great video. The ending brought me to tears as I reflected back over the last 2 years of our many life changes. We lost our mothers a year to the day apart so all parents are gone. Sold out childhood homes. Sold the home we built. Moved to a new city. Lost a friend. Brother fading fast needing a kidney.
I say celebrate and enjoy every moment and take time to give thanks.
Your pups are cute.
Elsa’s message about not ‘wishing her life away’ brought tears to my eyes. I struggle with not worrying about the future, and always thinking the grass is greener. Being in a life stage where my life does not look at all like I had hoped or planned, maybe that’s ok if I can learn to live in the present. I also just want to say congrats to you both, your love for each other inspires me and gives me hope that one day I might find one like it too.
I have watched your life unfold since the beginning and it has been so so incredible. Your story telling is out of this world and I can't thank you enough for the energy and thought you put into every single video. You guys rock and I can't wait keep following along on this journey with y'all
Thank you Allie!!
The road video sequence looked ethereal.
Your words of wisdom, is a wisdom that some people never have in a life time. You have figured out what's really important in your life. That is truly a blessing!
Thank you for the reminder to just be present. I will never have this moment again. Blessings ❤
I'm 58, all 3 of my kids moved out, and I'm moving to another town to stay with my sis for a minute...I'm going thru "empty nest" and losing everything we accumulated over the years, all with memories and nostalgia attached. I'm going to live out of a suitcase and do some couch surfing. I have been watching your forest family for the last 4 years with much gusto and love for your life's goals, philosophies, and your amazing ability to make family wherever you go! Your videos give me a warm feeling that I haven't felt for a long while. I resonate so much with all you're saying right now. Your deep talks are very grounding for me, giving me a different outlook and some joy in watching You, Barron, Kamp, and precious Pilot Thank you.❤
All the love to you, and best of luck on your journey!!
Thank you for the reminder of enjoying now...instead of imagining how happy I'll be in the future.
I have to remind myself this each day. It’s so easy to get caught up in working for the future instead of enjoying the process. The process never ends!
That ending reflection/recap though… I’m not crying, you’re crying! ❤😭✨
“Thinking that future will possess something that today doesn’t” Wow I love that. Thank you for that - because you are so right. Much love 💕
A beautiful reflection of how important it is to live in the present! The yesterdays and tomorrows are out of our control.
Beautiful ending, thank for the reminder to be present and to enjoy the moment.
Love the reflection at the end, I feel that deep in my marrow after also spending the last year building our home. ❤️
A beautiful video as always, Elsa and Barron! I love hearing about your outlook on life and savoring each moment. It’s something we all could stand to do a little bit more of
I learned to “live in the moment” when I was told on July 4, 2007 I had leukemia and my sibs did not match me and no bone marrow bank had match for me either. I knew then I might be out of moments. A friend that had died years earlier from pancreatic cancer had told me that she wished she had all of days she had wished away by saying “I wish today was over”. I had carried that with me and I never wished a day away, but in my own reality, I was not living in the moment and in my own way, I was indeed wasting time. My own cancer diagnosis was a wake up call and I’ve never looked back. You guys are way ahead of the game by appreciating the life you live. Kudos and much love.
‘So burnt out we just can’t make anything happen’….man, thank you for that. That hit me hard. Made me think back on my life and put my present and future into better perspective.
Today's video brought tears to my eyes. You couldn't have spoken more truth. Time is the one true enemy of us all. It steals away everything we know and love, yet we seem to call to it, and yearn for it. Crazy life we are allowed to live
Such long ,days of endless work ..but when it's all finally said and done ...you'll have great memories and alot of stories to tell
🙏🎶❤️
Talking about enjoying the moment! Thank you for those beautiful, encouraging words!✨✨✨
Dayyumn, girl... the reminder I didn't realize I needed, as I am currently wishing time away, excited about a future expedition. I forget to enjoy these moments now, I need to do better since they're what I have to look back on.. make the memories here and now while I am able.
Great video.. and thanks again!!
Pilot is as cute as can be. Kamp, you're still the boss!!
My favorite part about watching your journey for at least four years now is how dedicated you both are to research and understanding. The content just continues to get better. Xo
That last part of life’s reflection from you was exactly what I needed to hear today. Life has been a blur and as if I’m just repeating and existing. Things have gotten a bit tough for my little family with money but I laugh to myself currently bc I watch lovely people like you and Barron and aspire the lifestyle and the mindset and realize that I to can do the same and no matter what life throws at us it has always worked out better for us in the end. Have a great day Elsa, Barron and the pups!
I've loved watching your videos for years and I wish I could have been so wise many years before. I'm in my mid 60s now and finally enjoying the day-to-day moments, the " live in the now", and the less stressful times I lived in my younger days. You and your dear Barron are quite fortunate to have found this life so young. I wish you years of contentment and love.
Elsa, I want to thank you for what you said at the end of the video. I really needed to hear that. Well said my girl 🥰 Pilot is beautiful. She's a good girl and Camp well you already know how much we love him!🤗
Elsa, now would be a wonderful time for you to talk about your bullet journaling and suggest some cool planners or bullet journaling ideas for the new year. Could you make a video about this possibly? Just sharing my thoughts!
Wishing y'all a lovely week. Hope the holiday was good for y'all. 🙏
A most relaxing vid!!! Thanks! Miss Pilot is growing soo
fast..n Mr Kamp is teaching her much n I noticed ,lol, she is teaching him how to not be a grumpy Ole mountain man!!! Awesome 👌!
Thanks for sharing 👍!!
👍🎅🌲🐺🧙♂️🦊🌲🎅👍!!
You are learning a very important life lesson, which is to savor and remember the moments and memories, as they pass too quickly. At 68, I could go on for a long time as to why, but you know why, and I really enjoyed this, and all your videos.
Ugh, you made my cry Elsa. But only because of your beautiful words about living in the present, and those touching images of your summer with such amazing friends, and your precious babies. ❤️ We should ALL live in the moment!
The Tao of Pooh ❤️
You mentioned this book in your “confused in the desert” video. It completely shifted my perspective. It reminds me to live in the present.
Those hot springs look heavenly. Pilot is so cute, and such a smart girl. She’ll be bigger than Kamp before he realizes lol.
What I appreciate about your videos is how you break them up in chapters, if you will. You know what you're getting. I wish you joy and luck in your journey. Thanks for sharing your lives.
Watching your story has been like watching my favorite movie that never ends, you both are Incredible 💜🧔👱♀️🐾🐾
Today me & hubby & two friends rode our side by sides way out to the desert, 25 miles north of Mexico in southern AZ. Living in the moment is everything. Its not about dinner tonight, picking up the mail, checking my high desert microgreens. These all wait while we enjoy one anothers company, Diamondback Rattler on the trail, engine overheating and getting towed back to Caballo Loco Ranch. 💜💜💜 Grateful.
Girrrl! Great message. I'm 60 and still have to remind myself that I'm going to miss it if I don't slow it down. Have a great day!
Wow…she’s really coming along…when my dog Lola was young…I’d take her on mini bike runs…only short ones until her body was fully grown…as too much exercise can affect later life. However…she loved it. I cycled…she ran…and still does…it was a great way to burn off some of that puppy energy…and excellent for training her when she was contented mentally and physically. She is 5 now and is so well behaved…mind you, I spent the first two years right by every stage of her growing. She is now a confident, well balanced dog. So proud. I’m sure pilot is in the right hands. Enjoy. ❤
Such a powerful message there in the end. We have to constantly be reminded to soak in the moment, so thank you for reminding me ❤
Such wise words to live by. The journey is as fulfilling as the destination…if we allow it to be.
This is my favorite video that you have ever made.
You showed us things you love…. And brought them to our hearts.
You can feel the love and positivity. It’s palpable.
You both are spreading joy by sharing your passion for life.
It’s a beautiful thing.
Yep, dogs are everyone's best friend
Hopes dreams and wishes are what makes like have purpose…..add a little love and life is sweet….stay safe well and happy xx
Oh, the end brought me to tears. I love my dog so much and he is 11 and it is heartbreaking to think of life without him. Has gone by too quickly. BTW… I have your wander wooden piece up in my kitchen.❤
My Papa had a small pickup with a water tank that took up almost the whole bed. He'd fill it at the local spring and drive back up the mountain to fill the cistern.
Such beautiful views surrounding you!! How wonderful to be able to look out that window to see the magnificent landscape!! Thank you for sharing!! And such profound reflection at the end by you Miss Elsa...I was in tears listening to your perspective. I'm in my very early stages of 60s and I think of all the time I've spent looking forward to this or that milestone in life and you're so right...we wish our time away. Some not so kind things have happened over the course of this life of mine but I wouldn't change a bit of them as I couldn't be who or where I am without each of those layers, and truly things could've been so much worse. I'm humbled and grateful to be exactly where I am. Hope you had a refreshing time away.
I agree with Elsa saying to in not so many words enjoy the moment,live in that moment. I loved the two owls,we are lucky in the UK in that we have Owls,Bats,Squirrels,birds and Foxes where we live,nature is wonderful for the soul. The scenery where Elsa&Barron are is simply stunning,and the doggies are soooo darn cute.
the hot springs sound sooooo nice! and Pilot and Kamp continue to be so cute!!
This video brought me to tears and resonated with me on a personal level more than any of your other videos. I often find myself thinking “If my husband and I were in Elsa and Barron’s situation, building a humble home on our own land, I’d be happy.” But things and situations can’t make you happy. Happiness is a choice. Right now I’m feeling stuck in a big city, a small apartment, and a stressful and time consuming job. The past few months have flown by and I catch myself wishing this time of my life away. Thank you for your insight that these thoughts happen to us all, and we all need reminders to live in and appreciate the moment, because every moment, good and bad, is fleeting.
You made me cry.
Can't stop time, Enjoy it as it is.
Absolutely one of my favorite videos to date. Adore the fur kids in the shots, always a pleasure to see you love them so much.
Yes, I would love more videos of pilot as she grows quickly.
You two can reflect back on them when she's full grown.
Impressive impressions and philosophies essential in everyday life.
Elsa Rhae, thank you for you commentary about enjoying today and the present moment. I think we so often forget that TODAY is really all that we have and we miss it when we wish it away by looking or hoping too much for what the future will bring or pining for the past. I have been learning a lot about that recently by meditating and I wish that I had learned it earlier in my life. It sounds like you are learning it much earlier than I did so kudos to you!
Great video. Love, love, love the shot with Barron sleeping in bed and Kamp snuggled beside him with his paw over his daddy! Pilot, is a cutie, has a lot of energy and is quick to learn. Happy you got away to the Hot Springs. Yes, the view out the A Frame cabin is literally, postcard perfect. But, just wait 'til you move into your new house....then the magic begins! Congrats to both of you and we'll deserved! God bless ✝️. Love, Carrie/Jo 🤗🤗
So much wisdom about not wishing your life away! Thank you for sharing your lives. Absolutely amazing. I’m my mother’s caregiver for the end of her life and finding joy in the day is just priceless.
A treasured moment is watching a puppy run, there’s just something so cute about a little puppy getting his awkward clumsy little legs to gallop along .❤️Beautiful video, thanks Elsa and Barron.
Great sentiment as life is too short. Savor every moment.
What you said about wishing the ti e away resonated with me. Im 51 now and Ive pretty much did that my whole life. Wished getting through college went into wished getting a good job that i am unhappy with went to looking forward to retirement in 10 more years. The last 20 years went by so quickly and I dont feel like I am where I want to be. My kids are just at that point where they dont believe in Santa. I feel like I might have missed something important because of constantly thinking forward.
Family history imdicates that i might not make it past 65. Time is escaping me.
I need to focus on what time I have on the now and be thankful of what I have and, not so much on what I want.
When I was a kid, the owls in the woods behind my house were a good source of income. I would collect their owl pellets and sail to schools and colleges in the area.
My Grandmother always said don’t wish your life away. I never understood it until my kids were older. You are very insightful to realize it at such a young age. Embrace and enjoy the moment
You both so deserve a break, however small, particularly as you have worked so hard this past year. The dogs are a delight and as you rightly say they grow up so fast, make the most of it. Enjoy the springs. Take care, be safe. 💕 Dorset, UK
Wise Words Elsa,
Thank You~
Blessed Be🖤
Elsa Rhae your words, are beautiful and true. Right now is an important moment, a precious moment, a fun moment.
Elsa Rhae, great video on spending the "Now Time" over the old time or/and future time. You're so right, once it passes, it's gone; unless you've got pictures of the certain "Time" but then those picture have the same, a pass and a future. Pilot will never never be the same, except maybe some new mannerisms, but they too will disappear into mature mannerisns.
A puppy
The delightful times
Times when he stomps
Times when he whines
A puppy
Exploring new mounds, out abounds
Appearing lost, searching the way
Always just a bark away
A puppy
Delight's upon his eyes
As his nose, finds that scent
To reassure him, he's home
A puppy
Keep up the work on the cabin, it's turning into a livable piece of art.
My husband is a falconer, one summer night I was by the open French doors in the den, reading. Outside was our deck. I heard a loud noise, turned on the outside light; there was a HUGE great horned owl, sitting on the railing, inches from my face; scared the sh*t out of me! It was attracted by his red tailed and goshawk, in the mews. Pilot is so stinking cute! ❤️
Thank you for the reminder not to wish our life away and live in the moment. As a mom of a 14 year old, at times I long for the days of when she was younger and know that I need to more importantly, treasure what is now. ❤❤❤
Loved the ending to this video, Elsa. The last 2 minutes and 35 seconds are the best work you've created yet. Insightful, inspiring, and so emotional. Thank you, (& Barron!) for sharing your lives with us and doing so in such a beautiful way. Pilot is adorable and the house is coming along so well! I'm so happy for all of you.
I love owls too. They’re one of my animal totems. They always show up at the perfect time with information.
I love Pilot already.
I enjoy your parting comments about the puppy. Enjoy every little puppy moment. They grow up way to fast.
I have been following you both on your Scamp adventures and now have the privilege of following you on your Colorado land builds. You left some profound statements in the last part of this video. Being present in the moment brings joy!
Damn, this made me cry. So much wisdom!
What poignant insights you shared at the end. Seriously had me tearing up. It’s like that with children too, as you can imagine. My kids are young adults now and I’ll occasionally have dreams of them being wee ones again and I wake up bereft because that time is gone and I can never get it back. Let me tell, you, it was so hard with 3 little ones and I would find myself dreaming of when I wouldn’t have to change diapers anymore or when I wouldn’t have to tie shoes anymore or when I wouldn’t have to drive them around anymore, but somehow I would snap myself back to the now and realize how fleeting time is. Dream of the future but live in the moment as much as you can. It can be so hard, but you’re already seeing the importance of doing that. So much love to your family. I can’t tell you how much joy I get from your videos.❤
Elsa, I like you! You narrate wisdom. It's so lovely. Isn't Wisdom a lovely being?
I gather wisdom from all those more wise than I, I’m so lucky!
The end just made me cry…what a beautiful and true sentiment. 😢🥺
As always, thank you for sharing your journey and process with us!
Wonderful message. Thanks ❤
Okay, sobbed the last 15 seconds of the video, thanks for the reminder on time ♥️
Such a beautiful message ❤
Completely crying. I wasn't expecting that. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom Elsa. That was a much-needed message today. ♥
Such a good reminder for all of us, to be present in our lives and find the good in the now. Thank you!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! We can relate to this on so many levels. Been wishing away the time for our truck camper Reno to be finished so we can hit the road and explore. Just ready to have our home. You two work so hard. It’s also these moments of building that are the best memories.
Beautiful.
Beautifully said....
Yasss Elsa with the reflective voiceover! The result of contentment is total happiness. Time can feel scary and fleeting and then you take a deep breath and look around at all you have and its just that - all you have in this very moment is all that matters. Savor it! Thanks for the reminder.
Just love Kamp to pieces!!
Brilliant reflection
A beautiful reflection!!
I'm so happy for you two!!!!!!!!
Joyful Journey Hot Springs is a half hour from me. My favorite, too.
The last words really hit me.
I really love your videos.
I hear ya on time. It changes every second and some memories are savored. It seems similar to driving a car, we must keep our eyes on the windshield with only brief glances in the rearview mirror at the past. Tomorrow will come and change is certain. I love watching your two pup babies. It was a great idea to stay at the hot springs. Oh, I almost forgot. We have.a well and use pool noodles over the hose to prevent frozen water from blocking the flow of water. Our water froze in the lines coming out of the ground too. Yes, it's now snug and flows well in a pool noodle.
The view is amazing
Elsa and Barron. You have such a beautiful life. And are some of the most genuine people from what you share with us. You’re both very blessed. The reward will be worth all the hard work in the end!
Thank you, Elsa. I really needed to hear that part at the end 💕
