this video is actually two months old. I've just been going back-and-forth with myself if I wanted to release it or not.
There are Givers and Takers. Those who are Givers must set boundaries because Takers don't have any.
@ so true
Greed is everywhere, can't escape it in a van or RV people come to hide in the desert sometimes. People also get on the road to run away sometimes. I have seen it all being full time for several years. You are just starting out, you will learn how jaded you become seeing the worst of people in addition to the best. Sadly, people will always be people. Just keep doing the right thing and being a good person, don't let it change you. Hope to see ya down the road sometime.
@@roadbanditrunning so sad but so true. Hope to see you down the road sometime as well.
Greed is not a financial issue its a heart issue.
So so true
I am a new subscriber because of this video. I have been a nomad for five years and I totally understand where you’re coming from. The takers are gonna take take take take take till there is nothing left whether they actually needed it or not. When you give from your heart you have to let it go. It came from a good place.
You nailed it.
@@MyNomadicDreamand ask when will you have More…
@@bethlajaunie5177 that too
There's good folks out here bud. When you find them life is good.
@@chuckbrewington6817 I 100 💯 percent agree. this video is like two months old. I was going back-and-forth the whole time if I should release it.
Sorry to see you upset. You've a good heart...a thoughtful soul. Don't let a few spoil your generosity. You are a blessing.
@@christelena1783 thank you so much
Greed isn’t just about people wanting more than their share it’s also how they treat others. Don’t get tangled up with the wrong people out there on UA-cam either. There are a few people who are greedy with how they value people’s time. Greedy self serving people just want travel to be their way and they treat others badly when they don’t want to do what they want to do, one of the women you met recently is a prime example. Be careful out there.
Really good advice
I have seen that UA-camr do that also. Be careful hanging out with her.
Yes, this. Be careful of this person. She uses men, and does the same routine every single time. Flirts with a new guy by leaving emojis all over their page, uses them for what they can do for her, and when she's done she moves on to a new guy. She claims she's independent, but she always needs a man's validation. Don't let her do the same thing to you.
Few years away from going full Nomad waiting to retire .... there are poor souls out there! Surround yourself with good people .... I have always been blessed and help where and when I can. The old saying "First time shame on them, second time shame on me"
@@tfeller that is such a true statement. But you are going to have fun once you actually get out here.
In the video, it looked like it got to you after deciding you were not going to let it get to you.
Always guard your heart with all diligence because there will never be an end to negative people.
The Univers/ God puts negative people and circumstances in our path to reveal our character
,inner strength, heart.
Truth
Brother, that’s people in general. Don’t let a few bad ones run it for the good keep up your good heart.
@@charlesterrell2507 thank you man
I’m surprised it took you that long to see the greed and the other side of certain nomads out there. It’s also just being lazy and not wanting to work, earn their own money and purchase things they need. I agree with everything you said. Be well.
@@leeroyjenkins436 this video is actually two months old. I've just been going back-and-forth with myself if I wanted to release it or not.
I feel what you’re saying, unfortunately those people exist everywhere. Taking, giving nothing in return, will eventually backfire and they will reap the way they have lived their lives. Please don’t lose your giving heart, we need people like you, God bless all your efforts.
@@brendacreasy7726 thank you so much that means a lot to me
Now you see why we stay pretty secluded.
Yes, I do
Was watching another channel and found this video. Greed is the undoing of society.
@@berniejenkins4751 I'm glad you found the channel. And unfortunately, that is true.
Sometimes people need the rules laid out. next time, perhaps put out a poster that says: Just take one per person, and have the items already unpacked, like a single bottle of water. That might help.
@@SilverSunPublishing possibly. But that could make me look snobby.
I agree with the feelings. I don't take something that I don't need for any reason. So many have a mind set that they are owed something for nothing and take advantage of others. Thank you for voicing you thoughts.
Thank you
It doesn't matter if someone is a nomad or not. Some people have Integrity, some do not. I wish it was different but it's not. I'm glad to see that you have Integrity.
Thank you for noticing
Preach on Herbie. The world is full of people that take all they can get and not what they need if anything. Can’t change those people. They have no conscience. Just as the saying goes. Can’t fix stupid. We can only take pride in ourselves knowing that we’re good giving people. ✌🏻🇺🇸
That's so true
Just came across your channel and it was interesting, as it followed a couple videos that I've seen in the last couple of days.
One was a lady who was on her way to Quartzsite, who blew a trailer tire. Two guys stopped in front of her, and offered to help. While one pretended to help, the others was robbing her of items. Seems they sabotage the roadway to do just that. 😢
The other is people on bicycles around Quartzsite who strip camps when people go to town.
Our world is, so much about greed, and no respect these days. No respect for themselves, items, the land or others! Yet, we are a throw away society.
It is, very frustrating in deed. 😢
@@crazylady.. that sounds so terrible. I hope they are able to catch those crooks
I hear you, but what I think is important is that your heart is in the right place
@@ThelifeofDaryl thank you for real. You are absolutely correct.
A bit of food for thought to all that have a charitable heart; give with your heart and mind open because it is needed. Many times you cannot control how it is accepted or distributed. We must hope it is as we envisioned but if not the next time it may. To stop following your charitable heart punishes those you may be able to help and in a sad way punishes you too.
You’re absolutely right.
People were hit hard by a hurricane a few months ago and donations poured in. Public msg boards showed centers to go get supplies. There were people coming from out of town stocking up. One truck and trailer went in 2 churches and took all the heaters just donated. We can only hope they gave to others, but the consensus was theft for profit. That hurt us deeply but kept going for the majority who had lost everything. .
That's so disgusting
Hey I feel the same way,I'am at the age I need to down size...Hard for me to find people will take my stuff. I know the people in Quartzsite can use the stuff. My wife will go on vacation in Feb and its her birthday .Hope we can visit Quartzsite in Feb and I can drop it off with someone .My wife will not let be visit while the big tent show is on. She thinks I will have to much fun without her. Have a great day
That's a great plan! Happy wife happy life
I like your passenger
@@emikearizona he's great. He doesn't criticize my driving
This. Every last word of it.
@@NomadicPride 100%
You are spot on. It’s a character flaw. I would open the case of water and take bottles out and do the same with TP so people don’t take it all. I’ve seen greed too. 😢
@@theresapoole5412 it's one of the worst things
Good topic!
@@blazerebal6946 thanks
Thanks for sharing!
@@Scott_1981 thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing this Herbie. I completely understand where you're coming from. I saw this daily in my last job and it's unfortunate. I can only suggest that you look at the good at what YOU did and try not to dwell on the greedy people that abuse that good deed. Smile! It suits you best ☺
You're right, there's always good in every situation, even if it's hard to see sometimes. Thanks for the positive vibes!
@@MyNomadicDream Continue to be the good in this world ☺
@ I will
Tell it brother!!!
@@billdavidson4424 thank you
I get it. I can't handle people that take advantage of those that are willing to give to those in need. I'm fortunate and don't need material things from others at this point in my life but I remember times when I was in need.
Bob could use a spare shirt lol
@@chuckbrewington6817 yea maybe a smaller shirt
@@MyNomadicDream 🤣
I hear you man, well said... I haven't been back to Quartzsite in several years for this reason. It's unfortunate there are so many people that feel the need to take advantage of kindness. Even the last year of the van build party if you donated your time people expected that you were also donating your resources. Please don't mistake my kindness for weakness!
@@not_ur_simp exactly
I agree with u 100 %
@@slotcarj thank you
Absolutely correct on all accounts!
@@michaelgunzelmann1193 thanks
I too have been disappointed by this community. I posted a newbie post about the holes in the ground near my site. It has turned into a group doing nothing but condescending comments about other people’s comments. I did get the answers I was looking for, but there are 100’s of useless comments. It just amazed me how judgmental people can be.
Very good video! On that note, do you have any chocolate or extra candy lying around that you don't want?
@@shirleyharris7030 haha it doesn't normally last long around here
If you go to the city, you will see that it is much much worse as the morals have just disappeared. I honestly believe full-time RV as a whole are much better people and willing to help each other out. I believe you are seeing it out here because there are so many nomads in such close proximity. Once you get on the road, I don’t believe you will see it in anything close to the magnitude here.
@@timaz1066 I agree with you on that. This is unfortunate when people get together that the worst of society shows their faces.
There are plenty of good people out here Herbie, but you’ve learned the hard way that there are greedy people out here too! Surround yourself with the good people and you’ll be a happy nomad.❤
That's really good advice. 🙏
When you’re a diamond in the rough, the rough stands out like a sore thumb.
@@Bigpil2u that's so true
Do you want to hear something so messed up? Down on main streat Quartsite, there's a laundry mat I visited one morning. As I sat, I noticed a box of lost and found. It was mostly old socks. I was so surprised to see a sign above it that read. "Customers Only"
@@JCGible that's odd
It is irritating, but the facts are you’re right they’re good people and bad people and you raised yourself right so you’re one of the good people. ❤🌵😎
Thank you 😊
I know this is an older video you have just released, I'm sorry that this is what our society seems to be turning into. I know there are good and bad, but what's so sad is, the bad always seem too find the good to use and take advantage of! SMILE HERBIE AND LIVE YOUR DREAM ✨💫✨💫
It's true, there are good and bad, but we gotta keep smiling and living our dream!
If you do it again tear the cases of water open and let all the single bottles lay on the ground. Same with the toilet paper.
Then sit back and find out how many bottles one can carry!😅
Nomad life is mostly self sufficiency on the road for those who choose it for those who are forced into it from many circumstances it's survival. Help when you can but tough love is required and wisdom to weed out the greedy opportunistic bottom feeders. We all see it Herbie thanks for the insight for the ones who are giving and empathize but get played because they are too kind
@@Brendan2yall yes always just be careful on who you bring into your circle
No matter where you go, people are all the same: shitty.
@@invictaland1983 that's really unfortunate
Its a sad situation. It is disheartening. Sadly, those people exists everywhere. I saw your genny was locked to the camper. Good. Keep your propane bottles locked up too.
@@whiterabbit2786 oh yes always
Your video is very timely i jut saw a video where a few greedy thieves cleaned out another persons camp site while they ran to town. Horrible! The root is a poverty spirit.
@@AnasAdventures111 oh man I'm sorry to hear that. That's just simply the worst
@ On a side note. Should I bring the gigantic pack of toilet paper and cases of water that I took back to you? 😂 I won’t be so greedy from now on unless there’s In-n-Out and ice cream involved. (I probably should be careful what I say because some people will think I’m being serious)
@ omg be careful lol 😂 I'd share my in and out and ice cream with you lol
#stayprayedup God Bless and keep on bein you .
@@rastabilly6880 thank you so much
So what's your advice if you go nomad? About your being safe with your items.
@@Ernie.E1960 take proper precautions and know your neighbors
@MyNomadicDream most definitely will take that to heart.
Thank you sir and safe travels.
@@Ernie.E1960 you aswell
Think Chuck has it. Finding the right people to associate with is key. Your not going to avoid the "gimme' crowd", best defense is to learn to recognize those . Much like training a dog- give em a stern "ssstst" and walk away.
@@williamoorejr 🤣😂 you sure have some of the best advice lol
@@MyNomadicDream being old as F helps
@ 🤣😂
Utah Jeff … here…. I understand what you are saying …. I delivered pizza in Salt Lake for 27 years and it amazed me how many people locked all their money in cars or trucks ? They were too lazy to go out to their cars and would wait till I showed up to go out to their cars? I am not talking about the $5 for the tip. They would peal a $100 bill off a roll of bills. Your car is not a bank ! By keeping money … and advertising it like that… you are asking for trouble. Money needs to be private. No wonder both my cars in a nice residential subdivision have been broken into?
@@jefftatchio6091 that's so sad to hear
Greed unfortunately is everywhere Herbie, it’s a sad fact but true. There are good and bad in this world. Don’t let it upset you, everyone has a judgement day ahead of them, let go and give it to God. He will take care of them. God bless you and stay safe.
@@elainefrye9239 very good advice thank you
People are interesting critters. 😬😂
That they are
Most people in that life style are no working free loaders.
@@eric09laura 👍🏼
It is 50/50, some people are freeloaders, some are remote workers. I have been on the road for several years and seen it all. It is about finding the people who aren't leeches.
@ so true
The difference between you and greedy folks is that you do not expect anything in return. I stopped allowing people to do things, for me ( I never asked for help), because they always expected something in return. We live in a transactional society.
@@jbee5258 so true and so sad
I get it. While at one park we stayed at they had a system where you could set things out for whoever needed it. Only to find that one couple was taking these things and selling them on eBay.
@@JonHelton-dp5ye that's so terrible
@ ok
No, they were not hurting for money. They were assistant managers who had a problem with substance abuse and they were fired shortly after for a variety of reasons. We put up some extra camping equipment. Cots, extra wheel locks for a trailer. And a nice roof rack that we no longer needed. And there were plenty of people there who could have used them. The people who took them we’re staying in an apartment that was supplied by the park along with some wages and while one helped in the office and cleaning up restrooms and laundry room, the other actually had a real job. They were… opportunists, greedily taking advantage of the situation and using the money towards catching a buzz…
Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
@@Wisdomcalls1 that's a good one
People are shameless 😡! Only thinking about themselves. If you treat everyone the way you want to be treated this world would be much better. I never take the last of anything even in the grosery store. I think what if it's was me who needed that thing and someone was greedy and took it all. I wouldn't like it so I don't do it to anyone. Stay safe and warm herbi and hope 🐾
@@najruqwi7008 you said it well
Some of the youtubers need to learn from this, they treat people poorly but make themselves look good for the video meanwhile they beg for money or mention how much money they are constantly having to spend to pass off the responsibility of their finances to others. Then they get mad when people call them out. One girl with a dog had a vet bill that was pretty excessive, she then got on a video and told exactly how much she had to spend just so people would feel bad and give her money, which surly they did. Then this girl hung out with our boy here, he needs to be careful. he doesn't seem to want to be a mooch, but you have to be careful who you hang out with. Hope that she doesn't use him also.
You know why you feel that way? Because you have decency and morals and not a useless unappreciative freeloader. Funny how they bitch about their situation, yet wont do a damn thing to change it, like go out and get a job of some sort. Dont let them drag you down!
Your absolutely correct
You ain't seen nothing yet....shelves are going to be empty....peeps are not going to take one or two items they gonna take alot.... Quartzsite isnt ready for the crowd thats coming....Dollar General Dollar General Market and Family Dollar will be impossible to keep shelves full smdh

I like what you're saying., but when you refused the extra water that someone offered you, you denied that persons ability to also participate in giving. Giving is good, but letting othere give, is important
