Thank you for watching, I appreciate you!
My dad died in a plane crash when I was ten, on Father’s Day. We keep him alive in our lives by talking about him,my kids know all about their grandfather, who would have loved them so much.
💛 Wow, so sorry to hear that... much love to you
@@Linneaandakela Thank you, you too. It’s one of those “value the people you love every day” kind of lessons. I spent much more time with my grandparents after that, asking them questions and listening to stories about their lives and their parents. I am the largest repository of family history now. If that hadn’t happened, I likely wouldn’t have known how important it was to spend that time together and the stories would have been lost. I’ll never say it was a good thing, obviously it was awful, but we survive, and we’re strong, and God is there to get us through the rough patches. Take care.
One of your best ever, you just keep getting better.😮
❤
@katherinebrodie3371 I'm so broken-hearted for you hearing about the loss of your Dad & on Father's Day no less. I'm so glad though that you made the most of it by gathering & listening to your grandparents' stories. Lemonade out of a really rotten lemon that could've taken you down. You're amazing, an inspiration. TFS your story.
Warmly,~Marirose🫠🕊️💛
My Dad is my person. He adopted me at 3 days old and has loved me as his from day one. He turns 81 in September. I know one day I will have to navigate this world without him and that scares me. In 2 weeks he and my Husband are taking a motorcycle trip from Eastern Washington to Montana to scout out a camping spot for an 11 day camping trip. They are best friends which has made my 20 years being married wonderful. My Dad has given me my love of mountains, streams, and the outdoors. He is and always will be my greatest blessing. I'm sending you hugs. Thank you for sharing so much with us.
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint” ✨ Sending lots of love and strength ❤️
Chris’s comment “that’s probably the most Linnea thing I’ve ever seen” is the best! I love that & how he adores you for you!
Grief is a relentless teacher who will never wait for the student to be ready. You did a beautiful job of articulating some of those lessons. Thank you for your vulnerability.
I lost my Mother two months ago after being her caregiver for four years. Time is fleeting. I admire you for making the best of your time. I'm working on that for myself.
So sorry, Keith, in the loss of your mother.
It seems we spend so much time worrying about running out of time to live that we miss all the opportunities to feel alive and fulfilled. Thank you for putting things into such a beautiful perspective.
I know your dad is looking down and is so proud of his daughter. He smiles down at the woman you are.
Not only is your content, beautifully delivered. It gives me great hope, and a sense of peace. Thank you. ✌🏼❤️🌱
I am so happy to hear that.. thank you!
I cried during this, thank you for the bloopers at the end.
Lost my only sibling, a brother, two years ago when he was only 50.. He burst into our lives exactly one week before my first birthday, stole all the attention and never stopped. My last two birthdays weren't the same and never will be.
Death is hard. It doesn't get easier. It changes you, forever. It doesn't take away the love that was shared. If we didn't experience death, how could we enjoy life.
Lots of hugs and love from me & Neri.
Enjoy those mountains until you can get back to your desert.
❤
Wise beyond your years.
I’ve learned much from you as I build my own van, but this is my favorite. Your authenticity and perspective warm this old gals heart and soul.
I hope our van paths cross some day, preferably in the mountains
This one is my favorite video of yours. It just made me feel all the feelings in the best of ways. Thank you for all of the work you put into these pieces of art! We all appreciate your creativity!
You inspire me with your words and videos. It has been 18 years this month since I lost my father and not a day goes by that I do not think of him or something reminds me of him. I know he is still with me in my heart and little unexpected occurrences like a butterfly or a yellow rose or someone wearing Old Spice cologne makes me smile. God Bless
Thank you for your beautiful words! Sending love 💛
18 years here for me too. Ugh.
Linnea your thoughts on living and dying are way beyond your years. Because I'm stuck at the moment and not able to be on the road, I totally understand when you say your smile doesn't reach your eyes. There are many days I re-watch your videos because they literally keep me going. I'm turning 60 at the end of the month. Death has heavily been on my mind, and the goals I have of living on the road. I have an incurable disease. I don't know how long I have but as you said, you have to think about death before you can fully live. I don't let it define me. I'm more determined to get back on the road. Ty for being such an inspiration. I make handmade leather journals. I'd love to send you one.❤
I needed this!! My grandma, at almost 91 yrs old, just passed away. She was my best friend. Truly makes you think about what’s important in life. Thank you for sharing.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my grandma 2 years ago at the age 101. I miss her daily.
@@andreaewert7204 wow 101? That’s amazing. I’m sorry for your loss as well.
exactly right...the more we are comfortable and knowledgeable about death, the more we appreciate and have an elevated exuberance for life! Be grateful!
Your wisdom paired with your excitement of trying something new like flying a lil' machine... incredible! Thank you for sharing.
You are home...and what a home it is. I just finished a van build for a friend who has never even held a screwdriver before, but she loves nature like me and was afraid to try going off on her own. I took her to the mountains and dropped her off for a few days. When I went back to check on her yesterday she said she was "wrapped in pure joy". I know, that you know how that feels. Loved your honesty about losing your dad. I know how that feels too. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Just beautiful.❤
I'm 57 and I've known death in my life since I'm 10 years old. As a matter of fact, I just received more bad news just today of another family member passing away at the age of 27 after being in a coma for over a year. The word "death" or talking about it doesn't bother me one bit. If anything, actually living my life to the fullest scares me more. I admire your passion to not only make every day count, but you make sure every second of your life has meaning. That is truly a blessing. Thank you for such a lovely video🙂
Not going to lie your videos are a highlight of my week! Genuine people are super hard to come by and I love how authentic take your videos are.
Loved this video and your candid opinion. I am a 63 yo nomad and I think about death often. One of the reasons I am a nomad is because I know, no matter where I am, when my predetermined time is up, it will happen as it was intended. I didn't want to sit in a chair and watch the clock tick my time away. I too love the mountains and found Washington to be my favorite place for mountains. Safe travels! Stay real!
My Dad past when I was 28, that was 39 years ago. He is still a whisper on the wind, a look in my Sons eyes & a sense of guidance & direction always. The gifts your Dad left you are impeded in your heart & soul. You reap them daily. Every day is a gift & a journey. Cherished memories, a blessing. Thank you for your insight, your honesty & your passion. Live life well, NEVER taking a moment for granted. Best Wishes 🇨🇦
I have had so many losses in my life. Two of my children included. Currently I'm taking my dog #shastathewonderdog on her final journey this week. She's been my travel companion as Akela is yours.
Because of my experiences I too view life and death differently than others. Nothing is permanent, and yet all energy is. It just changes form.
My loves are always with me. They are in the trees and the ocean waves and the dragonflies and butterflies that visit me.
I will grieve the loss of Shasta's physical form when she crosses over next week, but I know her spirit is forever with me.
I am watching this while on my first family vacation without my mom. She died in December and it hasn't been easy but Ive been able to manage for my daughter. But being in my moms favorite place without her has brought out so many emotions and finally realizing shes not coming back. Your words made me cry some more but also helped a lot. Thank you for making your content and being so real! Sending positive vibes your way❤
I cried through this whole video! I now live where my dad was born and grew up. He has been gone awhile now, but it is still so hard. There is so much I want to ask him! So much I want to share with him. I have really been wallowing lately, with turning 50, and realizing I have more days behind me than in front of me. Linnea's beautiful perspective just made me realize I need to get a grip and LIVE.. make the best use of whatever days I have ahead! I am sorry about your mom.
Glad to see the 4 of you so relaxed and happy🤗
That dinner looked devine!
Thank you for allowing us to join on this journey.
NJ
This one brought me to tears! So, so beautifully done! What a gem!💛
Thank you so much!
This one is the best yet! You are very wise for your age ❤️
The drone is a game changer for your videos, not that you needed one. You are a deep thinker and the free space you keep going to gives you a lot to say, super nice video and thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
As I’ve been binge watching your videos over the last couple of weeks or so, I have been noticing feelings of jealousy towards your relationships with your family. I think what you have with your Mom and your brothers is wonderful - just so wholesome and nice and I compare to my circumstances and wonder why things are the way they are in my family. I wanted to say that I love the way you have shared with all of us about your Dad and about living with grief. And I also wanted to say, clearly, both your Mom and your Dad are remarkable people to have raised children like you and your brothers. You can actually see your joy and kindness towards each other in your faces. I love to see it even if I feel little twinges of jealousy for the closeness and connections you all have.
This made me realize I need to remember to do things that make me smile to my eyes. Thank you for always being such a positive light. ❤ great video
Wow! Just had the 6-yr anniversary of my Dad’s passing… and your video brought some of the tears back. After losing my Mom 42 years ago, my Dad became my hero, my counselor, my teacher and my everything. I knew the day would come - and I tried to prepare myself, but it still hurt to the deepest part of my soul. The still miss him so much, but I must say, knowing that I will see him again one day, brings me some peace.
I admire your strength, your resilience and your zest for life… your Dad would be so proud of you! ❤
June 23rd made 18 years without my dad. It is still so hard. I still have so much that I want to share with him. I am grateful that you shared your thoughts as you did. I have been so stuck in a rut, feeling sorry for myself, and being angry that I am not LIVING. Thanks for lighting a fire under me. This was exactly the perspective I needed to be hit with. Blessings to you and yours...
I am returning to this video after the death of my father, 6 days ago. Writing that sentence alone feels very surreal. While I find comfort in knowing he is in peace, a part of me is still in disbelief.
Prayers for everyone who has experienced the loss of a parent ❤
Girl! You how are you so wise for your years here?!? ♡ I absolutely love life through your eyes and I look forward to every video!
Hi Linnea, I’ve been watching for a while now and this is my first comment
I lost my mom on February 15, 2001 to Covid
That’s is what made me go out , buy a van, convert it and begin to see and experience this beautiful country before the good Lord calls me home… losing her made me realize you just don’t know when your time is done here on earth, and I refuse to let another day go by where I’m not doing what makes me smile to my ears😁😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Much love to you, Chris, Akela and Kobuck (hope I spelled that correctly)
Thank you, Linnea.
Wow. Such a Beautiful sentiment, beautifully delivered.
From a fellow introvert who finds peace and healing in the mountains, Thank You
Oh dear, Linnea. I'm glad you felt ready to talk to us about your Dad's death. Have noticed the times you stopped the camera or changed the subject when someone was about to talk about him.
Glad you found out from your Mom as she said when you did that wonderful Q&A w/her. Such a great mother. I'm happy for you that you have so many wonderful memories of him filled w/camping knowledge, outdoor adventuring & I'm certain many, many life lessons. I know he was a special man from what you have allowed to come out w/your Mom. I love that you have his snowshoes as you mentioned when you & Chris & the pups stayed in the woods last winter.
BTW, I'm a mountain woman too. Mountains, rivers, lakes, and natural beauty. I turn into a bowl of jelly when I see mountains, even from afar.
I'm lucky to live in NH, a tiny state but one that has The White Mountains w/all their beauty & "Mother Earth-ness." That's my Happy Place.
Lovely vlog. Love and kindness with hugs to you, Chris, Akela, & Kobuk.
💙🕊️🫂🐾🐾🌀
As always i ❤ your videos. This week's is exactly what I needed. This past Wednesday early morning, my 11yo beaglecoonhound passed,in my arms .He was only "sick" one day. Grief is powerful😢
Sending Love & Strength ❤🐕🙏❤️
This is from a different perspective, I have just cheated death for the third time in my life, my advice to you is keep doing what you’re doing. Live each day like it’s your last on this beautiful earth, tell everyone in your life that you love them, go to sleep happy with how you lived your day
Linnea, you are wise beyond your years. Your intentional life is an inspiration to this old grandma who is only now figuring some of it out. Better late than never.
Our lives are so different and yet some of our struggles are so much the same . I solved those struggles in ways I may have changed had I had more courage & wisdom. So beautiful to see you making your choices for yourself!
Your Dad is so proud of you! Love & Blessings till next time. ❤️🙏🏻
This one! Beautiful! Hoping many listen to your wise words! Seeing your life makes my heart smile. You two are adorable together. Your family is perfect at this point. Can't wait to see what adventures come.
You're thoughts alone should make you famous. Reality: Reaction To The Decisions You Make Today is so inspiring. I think I'll put that on a poster.
I do not normally comment on videos but I just wanted to say you put great content out every week. I just love watching your videos! Keep up the awesome work girl!❤
Wow thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful evening :)
❤ I talk to my dad and mum every day even though they’ve been gone for many years. Makes me feel they are still with me. Loved the video.
I've wondered why I feel so inclined to watch your videos, tonight I figured it out. You are very much like me in many ways (although much younger), the NEED to get to the mountains, so you can breathe and relax, I completely agree. I think I started watching your videos because I want to live in a van and Akela looks very much like my best friend from many years ago. Thanks for the reminder to use death as a wake-up call to live, I've had far too much death in my life, I really want to start living again. Be well. Blessings.
This is a stunning video! All of your thoughts and feelings about death are appreciated! I just retired and I'm on a 4 month travel journey to test the waters for full time travel life! I truly appreciate your Reflections! I dont want to waste a minute! Thank you for all of the thought that went into this! 💚🕉💚
I lost my favorite person, my dad, almost 25 years ago (🤯). I cared for him until the end and it was an absolute honor. The whole experience completely changed my life. I no longer fear death and I believe our loved ones are always close by. ❤
I really hope you are writing a book, or thinking about writing a book, because I can see myself reading your words every day for inspiration. You have a Voice that is unique.
I’m 55. Lost my mother at 24 a month before my wedding. She raised me alone. Time goes so fast. I was adopted at birth into a small family. There is only one person left in this world that knew my mother. My whole life slipped away just paying bills and now I’m 55 and full of regrets and failing health from the unnecessary stress of living check to check for a lifetime. I love your uploads and I’d love to take a trip. But doctor appointments, work and ailments put a stop to anything I might plan. Keep living your beautiful life just the way you are. It goes by so so fast. I think you know that better than I did at your age. ❤
The only way to get through grief is to acknowledge it, sit with it, perhaps even roll around in it, but the point is you're honest with yourself about it, and you go through it... and writing is good, talking is good, intimacy is good, solitude is good. You're taking good care of You. Excellent first drone flight!! I watched a drone first flight couple years ago, where the guy had programmed it with his voice commands, and he brought it out to our house to show it off for its first flight. All went great until he wanted it to return to him, but he told it to "Go Home."... farmers later found it after plowing in their field a few miles away... it was trying! Be careful with voice commands!!
Yay! This is our neck of the woods. Sort of. Looks like you're somewhere west of Boulder. We're in a tiny village 30 miles north of Estes Park, about 8 miles as the crow flies from the WY border. We love the seclusion as well as the small community. The flowers you picked are all blooming here, including the Mariposa Lily. And the hummingbirds are plentiful! What a wonderful video, including remembrances of your dad and the conversation on death. This topic should be talked about, so thank you for not shying away. Enjoy your stay in these beautiful Rocky Mountains! ps - we're also GSD people and I love watching you interact with Akela. She is so loved!
I lost my dad over 10 years ago. He was barely retired and was killed in a freak kayaking accident. He was a doctor and explorer, he took me fishing and camping, hiking, rafting, skiing… all the things. His death ruined me for a very long time. I think after you lose someone you love that deeply, who gave you things in life and experiences that are just so special… it takes a toll. It will always be hard. Grief is a part of love, but I hope most days you feel the happy parts of what he gave instead of what his death took.
❤❤ it is amazing what the trees and nature do to our soul. I love mountains and nature. It's my therapy. 😊 love you. Great video
Just when I think your content can’t get any better❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I lost my Dad n 2010 it hurt so much, then last September I lost my best friend/sister 62yrs ❤️🩹then my mother in November (we weren’t close but my mom), then in April I lost my middle sister 59, then n May we lost our 45yr 😢old son to heart disease. 💔💔my heart feels like it will never b whole, has also made me more aware of truly important things. We had a wonderful weekend with our son, 2days before he left us we stopped at a restaurant & with kitchen problem we waited 1hr&45mins to eat, today we went to same brand restaurant after taking care of some legal stuff for him, we both cried & remembered him. So grateful for that time now, not so happy then. 🤔😊.
I am grateful for you get to live how u want to.
Enjoy life to be ur best
day. 💕
Linnea, I've never related to you more than when you said that you think about death often. Because girl, ME TOO. I think about it at least twice a day - when I wake up and when I go to bed - and a dozen other times inbetween. Because you're right - we have to embrace the inevitability of death in order to really LIVE🦋
I'm sorry to hear about your pops. I'm glad you could remember him in the exact place you wanted to be.
What a beautiful video Linnea. Yes, we all have to face death - death of our parent, spouse, etc. Always love your videos. Enjoy the mountains.
I loved this video. Very thought provoking. I just moved back to Colorado to be near and in the mountains. It fills my soul too!
Amazing video Linnea - as are all your others. I appreciate your ability and willingness to share some of your more personal thoughts with us. At 68 years old, this subject becomes more and more relevant every day for me.
I love talking about death. Such an unknown which brings up fear. Your so right, many do not want to talk about it and it is something we all are going to face. It is a part of life! I helped facilitate a Death Cafe gathering where people came together to talk about Death. I learned for me that making sure I tried to make right my wrongs were dealt with was the most important thing that helped alleviate most of the fear surrounding death. It has me living, instead of regretting. I have appreciated and continue to be grateful for everyday. I hear that from you too..
I lost my dad on Thanksgiving last year and his death impacted me hard - thank you for your words, I rewound to listen to twice. Thank you for the honesty, sincerity and perspective that I think many don’t or can’t see. ❤
this was SUCH a great one, Linnea! So deeply reflective and well-thought out! Just one of the many reasons I enjoy you so much and am a patreon supporter of yours. Good to see you and Chris getting to enjoy wonderful mountains again together. Shine on!
Your videos are so amazing. I almost feel as if I’m there with you. I can’t possibly explain how peaceful they make me feel. When this video ended I was shocked to realize I was back in my life. It also made me realize how much I have missed in my 67 years. Thank you for bringing me joy.
I wish your videos never ended!!! I love the way you live so much!! I feel like somehow I was never given this option... Your dad must have been amazing for you even know this way of living is possible❤
Death and grief is a tricky one for me. I lost my grandmother in 2015 my sister in 2016 my dad in 2018 then a mentor in 2019. I have lost many in between and after. This year was 5 years since my dad died too. I know he is gone but it’s hard to wrap my mind around it. I have been in a transition of sorts and I wish I could just call him up and talk. Sending love to anyone grieving right now❤.
This is such a beautiful video and not just the scenery! Your gift with words is amazing!!! You have a beautiful and gentle spirit! Thank you so much for your videos! Love to all of you and stay safe.💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🦋🌹
Damn, girl. You have it together! I really loved this, and I appreciate your authenticity. You keep doing you. ❤
OMGOODNESS the mugs are absolutely gorgeous. ❤
They really are!
Hello Linnea.... I love your videos. I'm an old fart but have always loved the wilderness, camp & the peace that comes with it. We are now yachting with the same remote experience. I truly enjoy watching your adventures. You are so 'real' not artificial, but you truly transmit your honesty & your personal feeling & it comes through as being real & down to earth. I've been watching you for about 9-months now & look forward to your next posting on UA-cam. Keep doing what your doing. Love yeh. Don (old enough to be your Dad ( my daughter is older than you) but all good).
I'm hoping great channels like yours make this living more acceptable for the mainstream
Your cooking looks delicious. Good job with the drone! The mountains restore me. I could feel the mountain air. Thank you. ✌️❤️🏔️
Love and Gratitude ❤❤❤
Right back at ya💛
a plant knows no fear, it will grow until it freezes solid! It has the will to live! it's in its nature, to Live!
We both said that we hadn’t realized how much we missed YOU in the woods.
My dad died very unexpectedly when I was five years. I remember him dropping me off at Kindergarten - never came to pick me up. So I get it. I have been thinking about death ever since that day. Never have taken life for granted again. Never stopped missing him.
Your vlog touched me. I lost my North, my parents. Now living life in the pause mode. I hope and pray I can one day get to your level of understanding and feeling. I'm not there but you may have just cracked open an entryway. Thank you.
Your editing gets better and better!
I too lost my suddenly when I was in my 20s. Now I’m a mom, I get where you’re coming from. Much love ✌🏻
I’m so happy that I stumbled upon your page/ channel. Your videos bring me so much joy and comfort. You are inspiring but you are also so real and authentic.
My aunt who raised me died three years ago from a literal 1 in a million brain disorder. You are so right that a strange gift from grief is living intentionally. Finding your joy and why truely makes you smile is so important.
Thank you so much for sharing your life and experience with us!
So many feelings that I just don’t know how to express or type. Thank You is all I can say.
Ah yes....my favorite part of the USA. We vacationed for 20 plus years in the Ouray, Silverton area. Doing the jeep thing on the trails that cover that area. And now you have a drone....woohoo....the videos will get much better. Have a great time in Colorado....campfires are my fav.
deep, sincere and perfectly you... and you know what? that's how I do my dishes, too. Nice drone shots... you're a natural at that, too. Love your work L. 👋🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Thank you for this video. The mountains are so good for the soul ❤☀️
Enjoyed this video, thoroughly! You are a dang good cook, young woman!
I'm going to need you to make a cooking episode of just different meals you make! PLEASE they all look amazing!
I've been watching your videos for years, and this is definitely one of my all time favorites. I love the stream of consciousness style narration you've incorporated. It feels intimate and honest in the best way.
Linnea have you tried 'fire bread' (or "Stockbrot" in German) with your sourdough? When you wrap a small amount of dough around the end of a stick and hold it over the fire like a marshmellow. I think you would love it!! You can add garlic and herbs and whatever you like, it's so good.
I just moved into my van here in the UK, watching you from the road. All my love! ❤
I just learned today as I am in the mountains too that it is illegal to pick Indian Paintbrush as it is the Wyoming state flower. I totally feel how you feel. I've been able to so far spend a whole week with the beauty and quiet of the mountains and the meadows and the rain storms hammocking near mountain creeks and it has been a dream come true.
I lost my 20 yr. Old daughter to suicide. The mountains and the ocean are my refuge, I travel a few times a year to both, stop and camp and do art on the road… my refuge to keep breathing…thanks for another great video.
As I watched this video, I realized for the first time that when I watch you, my smile reaches my eyes. Sometimes, I cry, depending on the topics you touch, but every time, I smile and am so thankful for you and your sharing of your life's journey. You are special Linnea! Love to Akela too :)
I lost my dad unexpectedly in September of last year and almost 2 months ago lost my Sheppard. He was my life. Boop Akelas nose for me
Beautiful words. Beautiful scenery. Peaceful. 🌼🌸🌲🌳
THANKS Your living the dream stay safe.
Such a heartfelt video of how you feel about things and the life you live. We all need to do things that makes us feel good about ourselves and how we deal with the hand life has dealt us because the past is done tomorrow is not guaranteed so live for the now
I loved this so much…I had a rough year losing 3 loved ones…my mom Feb 2022, my son Dec 2022, my husband April 2023…and this vlog is on point for my short term and long term goals, to see more than the normal, to hopefully fulfill many bucket list items…taking it 1 day at a time ❤ love and light to you beautiful souls
Your editing is getting better and better every single video. I can really feel the emotion you’re expressing- even in the joy of working the drone I can feel the solemnity that comes from just being in a hard place. Of the peace you feel. I just want to congratulate you on your work
Oh my goodness Lineaa you make me smile from corner to corner with the absolute love for your home nature. There is a calling I'm always feeling be it ever so subtle, only being in nature or driving to calming. My momma departed 5 years ago as well and she's always pointing me to the next adventure ❤❤❤ ty for sharing you guys are beautiful people.
Linnea: this seems fancy, but it's not! *proceeds to make a 5 star meal* 😂 absolutely love your videos, thanks for your vulnerability and rawness. I look forward to them each week ❤
Beautiful and inspiring video, Linnea! Thank you for sharing. This will help me walk away from my yardwork and hop back into my van.
Also, Dads are forever. ❤The loss of mine, even at an older age, spurred my big life changes too. Thanks for reminding me of that. ❤
this video has stood out amongst all the others for its depth and emotional quality. and that is saying something.
