After building out the parking pad and getting ready to get Navi parked it is time to set up some of the area and get the batteries finalized so that we can get off grid.

OMG....This is where it all started, Michael. You were one of the true van lifers who started it all! And you're still going at it not because it's a passing fad like so many people who are quitting because they saw everyone else doing it during the pandemic. It's your passion, and I'm grateful for you and all your knowledge. Welcome back on Navi, and I can't wait to see your next video as always. 😊❤

Thanks, I am still trying to convince my family and friends some times that I am not planning on building a house any time soon because I already have one. haha.

I have to say I love the way a bunch of nomads have been buying land and making a home base but also thinking about their other nomad friends it's one big old family. I really hope I get the chance to join one of the families. God bless stay safe stay strong stay healthy but of all enjoy life and I love your dog.✌💪👏🎅🚌🌻👍

I am glad you getting your summer place set. I am about to put all the things I have been watching you do into practice. Friend had a couple living in their backyard in a bus.. For whatever reason they have decided to sell it.I bought it for a fare price. It will take alot of work to upgrade and add safety items. New tiers ,belts hoses, etc.

At the beginning of time, (schoolie time), and before Navigation Nowhere, did you record the building of Navi? Your first Navigation Nowhere was in the Keys and you were driving Navi. I wanted to see the younger you and friends building Navi.

@navigationnowhere Жыл бұрын

It was filmed and recorded but was never posted on YT. I didn't post or monetize the first few years of my travels backpacking, car camping, and building. I just traveled haha. That was back 2014-2016. If you want to see early Navi stuff check out my IG. There is also a video posted about 3 years ago that showcases the first trips on Navi before YT. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8VklceJltHOmqs.html
