Yep. Thank God for Bob Wells.

Yes!! Bob is an absolute inspiration...UK

yaaaa forget giving allmoney away to rent and utitlites

Thank you for your nice comments Carol.

I fear that once all the back rent that has been temporarily stopped comes due for renters there will be a tsunami of evictions like never before. I just hope this video of Fee and others thriving in alternative living situations can be an encouragement to others not to give up.

Unfortunately it is all over the world 😢

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Agree 100%!!

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 we need to all pull together and help where we can! Thank you for your videos! Love ur voice..reminds me of my mom (rest her sou). He had the voice of an angel like u. Thank you.

Thank you for your nice comments

I think Fee can stand a great deal of freedom and happiness!! So glad you found your path and are loving it.

❤❤ Safe travels Tina. ❤❤

Florida would love to have you visit! Stay away from the crowds as our covid numbers are up, but there are plenty of safe activities!

Thank you for the offer, that sounds nice Ann. How can I contact you? Or you can reach me at felute98@gmail.com

I would not recommend going to Florida as a NOMAD ,It's TOO HOT ! ,How are you going to keep cool at night in you car ?? You can't sleep w/the your car's air conditioner on all night and you can't open your windows because it's a high crime state,You will have to rely on your fans

You are so correct Bob when you say it is all attitude. Often we can't control what happens to us, but we always have control over our response. Dee's response was to forge out a better life. Kudos to her for that. Thanks so much for your comments.

The problem can be the solution.

@@valerierogers9609 ❤❤ Thank you. ❤❤

@@valerierogers9609 Definitely Valerie!

You got it! People like this make me check my attitude regularly. She chooses to be happy.

That must be exciting and just a tad bit intimidating all at the same time Betty. I hope Fee's story let you know there is a welcoming community out there and you can not only survive but thrive. Do keep me posted on your journey into vehicle life. Hope to see you on the road one day🙂

Oh she ran across my niece out there traveling wow

Good luck on your journey,and thank you.

Yep that's what I tought:great interview

Good luck. Might I suggest a few tips and tricks... keep or buy clean scrub attire as a wardrobe. Don a “Care Transport” decal and place on a clean recent year micro van. That combo can gain parking cover for many a place in city and suburb when you need to do so. Purchase a disability blue colored privacy tent such as Fruiteam sells on Amazon. It can be popped up just about anywhere outside a vehicle labeled as “disabled care” This can allow for public toilet/shower needs in places most wouldn’t consider. If you can score a wheelchair lift and chair even better. The tent can be placed right on the lift and the chairs are just comfy. Anything that allows you to blend in safe places and spaces is worth co side ring. Be safe!

I'm sure Fee will appreciate that Tammy. Thanks so much for your comments and Prayers 😇

❤❤ Thank you . ❤❤

@@feelute8352 I So admire your bravery! I am 62 & would Love to travel. But, never would attempt to travel alone. If you have Facebook, please send me a friend request. :)

@@Luna2196 Polly H.O.W.A. (Home On Wheels Alliance) might start up caravans again where you could travel with other women.

He really has. When I was preparing to get involved in van Life I must have watched every video he made🤣 I also attended his desert meetups, RTR( Rubber Ttamp Rendezvous) and have met lifelong friends as a result. Thanks so much for watching Jodie.

“The grandfather of vehicle dwelling.” Yes he’s done a lot for the nomad community, no doubt. But he’s also created a bona fide cult with followers heading, or planning on heading, out to the desert to live in their cars, and I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing.

@@jazzis4u1 Many will be forced to live in vehicles when evicted and many will end up in a tent on the sidewalk... I’d prefer the van.

@@jazzis4u1 genuinely wondering what it is you feel is "not necessarily a good thing" about it?

@@jazzis4u1 Whaat you need to understand though, is that everyone's doing the very best they can, to survive.

For sure. Fee certainly did that and continues to have a positive outlook. Thanks my friends for stopping by.🤗

❤❤ Thank you ❤❤

When she said she had smoked for 35 years and now has decreased lung capacity, all I could think at 71 was to thank my "young self" for having the brains back then to think of me now and never start smoking. My mother died when I was 17 from a heart attack and she was a heavy smoker, like most every adult I knew, and I vowed not to do that to my body.

@@Jibbie49 You made a great decision early on for sure. But, back in the day there was a lot of false information disseminated about smoking. It was even recommended to calm one's nerves at one time. Of course now we all know better.

I think she will be as she is sonpisitive and determined.

Wait till she's OR any 1 is close to 80 years old.

❤❤ Thank you Dee. Love your videos. ❤❤

@@flyfishing1776 I met an 84 year old woman doing van life and more than one couple in their 80's.

Bob has certainly been a God send to so many. I.just spoke with Fee yesterday. Sue is loving her new life. No stress of eviction or not being able to pay rent. Freedom to choose to go where she wants when she wants. Fee is indeed currently the epitome of a happy camper!! Thanks for your comments Jean.

❤❤ Thank you Jean. ❤❤

Amen

There is a wide spectrum of experiences in van life. While there certainly are many young people choosing to live this life for the freedom it offers and the wonderful experiences and travel it can afford, there are many others who are forced into it late in life due to financial challenges, especially older women. It has always been my goal to share as they say, the rest 9f the story that is sometimes not apparent. Thanks so much for your comments.

Thank you ladies, For giving your honest opinions. It is really a shame, people like me work very hard to earn a paupers living just to give it a away to greedy corporations that send you their bills. I wish l learned years ago about this lifestyle. I would have been much happier in life.

I don’t even watch those videos with super young experimenters. If it doesnt work out they just go back to Dad and Mom’s. Usually. I like real life situations that only offer this nomad lifestyle. I am saying, an lifestyle, not an adventure. Thank you for great videos.

@@SuperDeut4 Thank you for taking the time to comment on this video. As you noted, there is definitely a big difference between someone who is navigating nomad living as a permanent solution as opposed to someone merely taking a break before resuming their prior lifestyle.

This comment is verrry relatable.

It sounds like you have the same spirit of determination Valkyrie that Fee has, to make the best out of a challenging situation. I believe Fee will be back in Quartzsite in the fall and winter. I will also and look forward to meeting you.

Thank you for sharing Valkyrie. Yes we will have to meet and camp. Stay safe. God bless you.

Wow. Thats is a high compliment considering some of the fabulous interviews I've seen on You Tube. Thank you so much💖

Thank you for watching.

Most definitely, she possesses great interview skills that many on TV could benefit from following! 👍

@@lauragb3677 So kind of you Laura. Thank you😍

What's with Walmart and no customer service check your self I worked in management at Walmart need to pay their own employee s

@@juliadawnyel3648 Hope you are kicking up your heels and enjoying your retirement Julia.

Thanks so much for stopping by MizzC. Fee is indeed a very smart and resourceful lady!!

❤❤ Thank you. ❤❤

Life in the road does come in many different forms, that's for sure. I am in a similar circumstance as yours Maitilda and am part time due to having a special needs child. I am grateful everyday for my blessings and hope to be able to share not only some of those blessings but even more important, encouragement. Thanks so much for sharing some of your story.

❤❤ Thank you Mattilda. ❤❤

You sound like my older sister who is 86 and worked 34 yrs civil service, so she had a retirement check at 55. She had 3 kids and for years her check went out for childcare, rides to work, and office clothes, while her husband paid the mortgage. She retired at 55 and then did childcare for a lot of GC, but saved her 3 kids that cost as she expected her DILs to keep working.

She really is fearless. Starting a whole new life and facing change and obstacles with grace.

Fee's.generosity and willingness to help others and share what she has touched my heart too. Thanks so much for watching.

❤❤ Thank you San Dee. From what I have experienced so far the people l have met are very generous. They ask if there is a need, or just offer. That's the good Lord at work. ❤❤

I like that Lisa, "We're only on this merry-Go-Round once". So true, and we don't know when the ride is going to stop. So make the most if it while you can!!

❤❤ Thank you Lisa. ❤❤

@Lisa because of the pandemic is it harder to get into Canada then previous years? I kinda feel like it'll be a lot more restrictions and sometimes you can't cross over the border at all.

@@kenyettaready You are probably right. I've heard the border isn't open, but that could have changed.

@@kenyettaready It has been extremely difficult to cross into Canada if you are not a Canadian citizen and just want to visit.

I anticipate that there will be many more if these stories. I was parked in a lot recently and saw a woman I was pretty sure was living in her car. As I began speaking with her she began crying so hard we couldn't do an interview.. it simply broke my heart. She said something that really touched me and caused me to reflect on her words long after our meeting. She thanked me for acknowledging her existence, simply seeing her.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Now, I’m crying. God bless her and you. There are never any accidental meetings. I’ve come to believe and can see it in my own life that every single encounter, no matter how brief was for a purpose that we may never realize. You may have very well saved that woman’s life by just, “seeing her.”

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 💕💕💕🙏☀️🥰

@@TheHapiCamper I have often thought that there was a certain ordained destiny at play when meeting certain people along this journey of life, often to my benefit. I certainly hope my chance encounter with Fe turns out to be a blessing for her.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Amen.

Thank you for watching Claudia. Wow 3 years you must like living in the RV. You haven't gone back to sticks and bricks. Take care, and see you down the road.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your home and hope you have found a loving and welcoming community among nomads. It is really disturbing that so many older folks, many with paid off homes, have been forced out of their lifelong homes due to rising property taxes. California Proposition 13 passed many years back as part of a grass roots movement. It held the rate that property taxes could be raised to 1 or 1.5% per year for a large group of homeowners. Fortunately I fall within the guidelines for that group or I would probably be forced to sell.

My mom used to say that, Where there's a will there's a way. I have lived by that and am teaching it to my daughter.

She certainly.seems to have found the perfect solution for her I am happy to say. Thanks so much for stoppingby Lynette.

❤❤ Thank you. ❤❤

Isn't her attitude an inspiration!

Thank you Janet🥰

Thank you Marie, my friend. You brought good tears seeing you said this. You make what they call community reality. Thank you for watching.

Hello, hello Marie. What lovely and true comments. Fee is a lovely woman and it was such a pleasure to meet and camp with both you and Fee and all the other great folks in Pahrump when I was there.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 DID WE HAVE A GOOD TIME OR WHAT? GOOD THING I FLAGGED DOWN THE FIRST RED CONNECT I SAW IN PAHRUMP.

Ginny I believe your story and Fee's will be repeated many times over in the upcoming months as the dust begins to settle from not only the current health crisis, but rising rent costs. I wish you well as you embark upon your new chapter in life and hope you will be both encouraged and informed by this videos and others.

You can stay on Indian land in Yuma, az

Good for you! I hope your van is comfortable and you have made it into your own little nest. God bless you and stay safe!!! I hope u r able to enjoy some of your newfound freedom....I hope u can have some fun too!!!

lost my job 13 years ago when I was 54. Decided I was tired of working just to get by and felt it was time to live enjoying nature and camping. Packed up my pets and stuff in my rv and hit the road. My only regret was not doing it sooner. I worked at Amazon, volunteered, camp hosted, and did various other seasonal jobs and retail jobs. Got on Soc. Sec. at 62 at $497and live enjoyably in my rv on $560 today in addition to my oil painting business income that my freer lifestyle has enabled me to finally pursue and build up.

❤❤ Thank you ladies. ❤❤

She's going to be just fine!! This lifestyle (in MY opinion) IS AMAZING❤ I've met so many wonderful people out here!

Thank you Patricia, I'm loving my new life and wondering why I waited so long to start.

@@feelute8352 You're welcome. 👍🏽

You are absolutely right. Unfortunately there are even folks who worked their whole adult lives and paid off their homes and are now being priced out of their homes because of outrageous property taxes. I recently saw a program about an area outside of Chicago where average property taxes had increased to well over $12,000 per year causing elderly people to have to move out of their lifelong homes. It really is disgusting.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 totally agree and I believe is getting worse

Thank you for your nice comments.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Totally agree, It's sad this country for being as rich as it is doesn't take care of the elderly. Now I am one of those. So sad!

You are certainly a survivor Lynda. I pray you can get your trailer and travel, not only see some of our beautiful country but also to meet some of the wonderful nomads.out there.

Good luck Lynda,your future is looking better.

Thank you Jason.

Thank you Victoria for your kind word's 💖 Fe is certainly brave, not only for living her life on her own terms but also for having the courage to share her story.

It is really a blessing to hear that the content I am sending out into the universe is being received in such a positive light. Blessings and joy to you and your child.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Yes, You've greatly motivated me even more on my decision to live in a more financially conscious way. My son and I have been watching you back to back! I am recording my first video ever and mentioning you. I'll comment when it's uploaded. You've really encouraged me to not feel awkward about choosing liberation in non traditional ways of housing. You're a blessing. Always know that. 💞

I am so sorry to hear about your double loss, of your husband and farm. Based on what you have shared about your friend's generosity to you, it seems that you must have been a great friend too. This is not meant to minimize your immense losses, simply to say I can tell you from the many people I have met there is a wonderful nomad community out there who will embrace you and be a support. May God bless you in this new season of life.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, but God is good. If you ask he will provide.

@@feelute8352 yes, ma'am. My strongth faith is what gets me through the tough schtuff!

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Thank you so much. It was a horrific disease to watch take the I man I loved more than anyone in the whole wide world away from me. We fought hard from day one of his ex July 21, 2016. Right on heelas on my getting my life back together after a terrible horse wreck when I got slammed to the ground with the force of a ton. Care-flite. I hit the ground so hard my helmet came off. Head injury, collapsed right lung, broken ribs both side,bright shoulder A/C separation, broke back two places. I was 56 at the time. 2 years of farm rehab and I could start to resume my 40 year dog grooming career of pet and show dogs. Then my husband got dx with Bulbar ALS and the next 3 years, 9 months and 9 days were not of this world. ALS is an evil, ugly disease. But, that is behind me and I'm on a new adventure in the hilly, piney woods of my home town in AR now. Just moved in my Class C and have been setting up camp for my dogs and cat. Onward!!

@@hipdogdsv As I was reading your comment I couldn't helo but be amazed by your tenacity to come thru and still he standing in the end. But, what a gift both from you and for you, difficult as it must have been, to have been able to be at your beloved's side and help him thru his journey to the end. I wish you as much joy as you can contain in this next chapter.

Bob Wells has provided life altering information to thousands of people in desperate situations. I bet if the real number of nomads was actually revealed it would be stunning!

Thank you J.C., Bob Wells is a very nice person,& has helped lots of people with vans, solar, tents & he has given people money for repairs. He is a blessing to a lot of people.

Thank you so much Kathlyn. It is always my goal to treat every person I interview with the utmost respect. I am so relieved to hear that is coming across. As far as the wind, I was sorely disappointed in the sound quality on this video. It is my desire to honor my viewer's time and in consideration of such to provide a quality product.

As a rookie videographer I am working on solutions to dealing with wind sound and certainly hope to resolve it for future videos. Thanks so much for your patience and comments.🙂

Fe is indeed a delightful lady. She is not only brave, and resilient, she is also kind and generous.

Thanks for your insightful comments Alexander. I do believe that attitude and resilience are as important as actual survival skills in real life. If one has all the necessary skills but doesn't believe they are capable or have the emotional constitution necessary to move forward all the skills in the world won't help.
