Bob 's personal ethics, philosophy and great compassion for human beings comes through watching his videos. Serving People and Doing Good. He reminds me of the Free University Ethics Classes at University of New Mexico in the late 60's. This movement is my community for my present and future years until I carry on beyond my slowly emerging Road Life. My decades in working with non profits since I was a kid though now 70 years of age. I was in the travel industry, real estate and legal industries. I just want to get on the road again even part time from Tucson which I am not prepared to leave my now coordinated necessary medical services. You guys all rock! Hope I get to volunteer some business consulting services to you now and in the future.

I can make it that long with no fridge or power. I only drive about 3 to 4 hours a day, and like to set up for 2 weeks at a time or longer if allowed. Again love your vids, can't wait to be able to be of help to folks like you do. That's what I believe life is all about, helping others. Peace✌

For a super healthy meal for those with heart disease or high blood pressure. Yall should buy a small blender like a magic bullet,. I recommend buying canned beets and frozen blueberries or bananas etc and making a beet smoothie everyday. Your blood pressure will drop within 5 minutes or less and you can feel the effect immediately. Especially any of you who deal with a uncontrollable heart I highly recommend a beet smoothie. It will open of your airways and increase the amount of oxygen within your blood cells. Its a natural medicine for those with respiratory issues.

@paladinhansen137 4 жыл бұрын

@@anninriverside755 Smoothies will help in the process of breaking down the food which will make it easier to digest and absorb for your intestines and allow more nutrients to be absorbed in to your body. The blueberries and bananas I mentioned is because those three go really well together in a smoothie and make it palatable for 99% percent of people because you and I know that most people don't like eating or drinking just beets or beet juice alone. Two cups of blueberries a day have also been found to decrease rates of Alzheimer's Disease in elderly patients compared to those who don't and promote brain function. So, I Typically add that in as well as a can of beets and a banana to make it really sweet and have proper texture. You can also add avocado, local honey, and chia or hemp seeds for additional fats and proteins. Its my personal drink I drink about every other day and its really helped me so im just speaking from my own truth and may not be absolute for others as some might. Also frozen berries and banana are picked right off the farm and are the freshest you can get. A lot of van people have a small freezer and can put a 5lb bag of blueberries and bananas in their little freezers whereas the canned beets can just stay in a compartment and last for years.

A tidbit of experience. Banquet boxed chicken after cooked will last 5days at room temperature. Cooked burgers 3 days. Mayo one month. Cheese 2 weeks. Butter a month. This is room temp about 75°. My mom used to keep bacon grease on the window sill sitting in a jar for months.

@susie9893 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure about the chicken. That rings my alarm bells hugely. But I agree that cheese can last really well - especially if wrapped with paper then linen (and if mould grows you just cut it off). Natural yoghurt also lasts quite well outa fridge provided it's not TOO hot. Even eggs can last at least a week usually (and there's the float test so you can check). Rather than using butter, ghee will last at least 6mths outa fridge I believe (that was whole idea of making it) Then there's olives, any dried fruit, nuts I also keep kale and celery fresh for at least a week, usually, unless it's REALLY hot, by standing in small amount water. Also works well for most herbs

You realize that with that schedule their entire day is focused on a "part-time" job. Really, it sounds like full-time to me because the person is tied up all day. Respectfully submitted.

They want someone basically retired, or like stay at home parent / mom, and has minimal commitments. Or while their kid is playing soccer, they can get online, and do the work for an hour. There's actually alot of people that can meet the flexible hours. The challenge is the requirements for a windows laptop, having the office software, and internet access. Other van travelers seem to end up off grid, no internet at times. Seems like a van lifer might find it harder to have the internet access daily.
