Living in the desert for 8 days - Skooliepalooza
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- We spent 8 days in the middle of the Arizona desert with 500 other skoolies. We had an incredible time meeting new people, and connecting with old friends, but we almost regretted going at all when we lost something we could never replace.
Huge thank you to Arbour Season for letting us use their beautiful song Arcadian. You can check them out on instagram and on Spotify.

I feel like skooliepalooza is summer camp for adults! What a beautiful video! I'm so glad you found Tillo.
Haha that’s a pretty fair comparison. And thank you. I would have lost my mind if I would have lost her
I love what you said about coming together as a community...the past couple of years have seen so much division both here in Canada, in the USA and now overseas....it's SO heartwarming watching videos like this. I'm hoping (fingers crossed) to join the skoolie community this year and hope I can meet some of you at Skooliepalooza '23. Thanks for sharing ☺
Would love to see you there next year! I 100% understand that it can all feel pretty bleak with how people treat each other, especially with everything the media shows us. But they're not showing moments like this, and this is every bit just as real. Good luck on your skoolie journey!
@@BasicallyNomads are the unvaccinated treated like humans? I need community like this
Awesome haha! This has been on my hit list for a while:)
I can't wait that long 🙉🙉
The wait is over! 😂😂
As I was watching the confusion of everyone driving and not knowing where to go my bus drives by in your video 😂 I'm glad we all got there.
Haha! Hats awesome. It was pretty incredible once it all settled down
Eyes opening video and i thank you for that. Not easiest life but fulliest for sure.
So happy you found Tillo.
I seriously cried when you lost your cat! I have two kitties and am absolutely terrified of forever loosing them. Your video has inspired me to get a trackable collar foe my cats for my future nomad life!
Good! We would have never found her without it. It’s one of our worst fears and it almost happened. So glad we found her.
Glad you made it!
Awwwww you guys this is an incredible video!! ALLLLLLL the feels for sure
Thanks Laura!!! Wish I would have captured more. So much more happened.
Glad you were able to find your Tillo!! Looks like skooliepoolza was a good time. Nothing like desert living!! Was that a jar of vegemite you were smelling @10:19?? Love that stuff!! Do you have any more footage you can post? A lot happens in 8 days, I'm hoping you have some more to share.
I wish I did! I tried to put the camera down and just enjoy it as much as I could. I do have more footage though so I might have to put somethiing together. I wasn't able to fully articulate just how worried we were about Tillo. It got to the point that I had just accepted that she had been taken by coyotes. SO GLAD we found her.
@@BasicallyNomads I think you should put more together. It’s be fun to see. Plus if that was vegemite, and you tried it, I def wanna see that.
The things we won’t do for our animals. I was just to the dentist last week after my guy face planted and chipped off his front tooth. 3k later though, he’s all better and got to keep his tooth. I’m happy.
Hate that that happened! But I love that you obviously understand how we feel about our pets as well. I was fully prepared to stay and let bre take the truck back so she could work and I could stay to look for Tillo.
And yes! That is vegemite! Charlie from @outbackskoolie is from Australia! You should go give them a sub as they'll be starting their UA-cam journey soon!
@@2AZSUN you literally show so much love to my tiny channel. Id like to send you a shirt and some stickers if you'd want it? Just really appreciate the support that you constantly give!
I can't wait to get my bus still good enough to where I could be at one of the skooliepalooza has
Love the recap so much! Loved meeting you so much. See you soon 😉
It won't be soon enough!!
I live for your videos bro! Keepin my dreams alive with your build.. nothing more I want than debt free living and a gaming pc to accompany it...
but I'm only 23 goin on 24 so I got plenty of time left
Absolutely can't wait to see it come together bro! Thanks so much for the love as always!
Beside losing Tillow, Skooliepalooza looks so fun!!
Yeah, I’m glad we found her early too. That would have just ruined the entire thing for us.
That was cool to see, I'm gonna check if u went to 2023🥰🥰
amazing experience
just started watching your videos today!❤️ gosh this community is so amazing ,much love from 🤙🏼🇵🇭
It really is an incredible community. That’s what it’s all about for us!
We hope to make it next year!
Looks fun
It was a blast!
As someone looking to build out a skoolie in the next year, I think the camaraderie is phenomenal. I've been retired from the Navy for almost 25 years and miss that type of community that rarely found in the typical civilian communities. Granted, I'm physically older than most skoolie folks, but I have a youthful mind and outlook. 😊 I'm hoping to get to Skooliepalooza once my build is done and I have a few miles under my belt. How does one go about staying abreast of the venue and any possible changes? With some luck, I may be able to buy about 30 to 40 acres in Arizona. If so, maybe one day in the future I could host the gathering on my land. 😊
Super cool vid
We got a JioBit GPS tracker for our cat. I couldn't imagine traveling with pets without one.
Yeah we need something a little better. The AirTag is nice, but it doesn’t always do the trick
I’m only 16 but I want to live in a bus so bad and I’m hoping this is still a thing when I finally get to renovate a bus
It definitely will be. And even if it's not, you can start it back up again :)
Ahh, you did have an air tag on the cat, and It's not great when phones don't have reception either.
Anyways, consistent good videos that I chose to watch earned a sub. But can't promise I'll watch what I consider boring to watch(hiking, and all sporting stuff)
Best kept secret, I see.
