sorry to hear about your mom but life goes on - glad to hear you are on the road - sound right on, more power to you !!!...stay safe - peace !

There are alternative approaches to cancer, some films cover them 1) The Cancer Conspiracy 2) Run from the cure 3) Burzynski the movie 4) The diet from "Reversing Diabetes in 30 days" 4) The beautiful Truth 5) "not a film" Curry powder mixed with black pepper and olive oil. There are others, and some of these mixed together are geometrically more powerful.

Michelle Brixius I so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 5 years ago at the age of 63. That was the first spark for me to reevaluate my situation. I've been a vet tech for 22 years and still love going to work every day but I live in MN and winter is getting harder and harder to deal with physical (back and joint issues). The spark turned to a roaring fire about 9 months ago when my friend/coworker was diagnosed with liver cancer at 48 (I'm 42)...we lost her last month after a tough battle. My dream has always been to retire and travel in an RV...my turning point question was..."why am I waiting...what needs to be done to do my dream now"...I came up with a plan...I would work seasonal (April through Sept in MN at the job I love n don't want to quit...fish my heart out on my off time instead if mowing my grass every other day)!...then head to warmer weather the remaining winter months. My employers are amazing and very excited for me...willing to help with medical insurance n giving me a place to live in my RV during the summers, too. I couldn't ask for better employers/friends! I started selling stuff the day I talked to them...I have a 2-4 year window to fix my house and plan for my great adventure. If you have a dream...don't wait!

So true. I am a living example. Followed the conventional paradigm and now too worn out and disabled to enjoy the mountains and hiking. My advice.....dump the education, career model and live life while you have the physical ability.

Malcolm Nicoll I love that quote. People hate me for my attitude and happiness. But I found out something that most take years to learn" Bills and mortgage= slavery and prostitution"

Malcolm Nicoll I am listening to the gentle whisper of the Creator God who asks me to trust him fully and without fear. Go out into the beauty of this land and meet some wonderful people along the way.

Keith Miller .....Only .00001% of people will read that quote among many other wise teachings. But 99% will know and talk about useless "news" spoonfed to them in the last 24 hours. They have gotten sucked into the mainstream media treadmill like rodents in a maze conditioned (by hunger) to constantly chasing the cheese. They think they are being rewarded because they don't realize the maze they are in. IF they knew, AND their puppet master psychologists could read their minds, they would be telling their captures to go f#%k themselves since they weren't born to be lab experiment pawns. We truly are thought of as lab rats by our oligarchy puppet master narcissists as proven by their behavior patterns.

@@jusayenso8186 you're good with words. You can be a leader. People need a leader to show the way to not need a leader. Our restraints are constructed by desires. Few have any idea of true desire. We're born into a "cat video", and we're rewarded for wasting our "one shot" chasing the laser dot.

@@michaelmills9105 ...I appreciate a unique and sadly too rare rebuttal with rarely heard points, more than your compliment. I think you may know why people who truly know plenty more than most others what's really going on, will not try to be a true leader for goals like truth, transparency, more real equality, and more examples. I have learned that the system is set in stone. The "changes" are mostly window dressing, once I kept learning the "bigger picture", which took many years and is still an ongoing process. Even those led to learning even more bigger picture truths. Have you ever tried to talk one on one with enough of these products of the system? I have and knew that a high volume of test data naturally increases accuracy. I learned to change variables too, and did the proper tweaking over the years too. I get more people responding in way more positive ways when I dummy up, lying about what I know is right, and just talking down to their level. Way too high a percentage of people have such fast kneejerk reactions ranging from embarrassment to despise when I take a simple topic with a proven right answer, and actually perform the act of teaching them (for free!!) as many step by step explanations about why these mathematically based answers are the correct answer! Sadly, despise is the most popular reaction. It's often subtle, but I already had years of experience learning how to identify body language and subtle yet consistent similar signs in the rebuttals they respond with. It's really not as hard as it might sound, since I also learned that low level thinkers are amazingly similar! That's how twisted their brains have evolved to becoming. Young teenagers are actually way easier to teach than 30, 40, 50, and even people over 60, who fell into the several bad habits that actually causes them to get more narrow minded and more ignorant each year. It's a slow and subtle process, but this is what I became very competent at testing. I learned testing methods from proven testing methods in behavioral psychology. Others use their time becoming self taught at car repairs, being able to remodel their kitchen, learn all about butterflies, and many other hobbies. It's so funny how these people so negatively comment that I am crazy because I use proper psychology references! Naturally, this makes no sense to accuse someone that cannot learn psychology as their hobby choice! Yet they will contradict themselves and say things like "psychiatrists are corrupt". Those are paid psychiatrists and they know I'm not, but still get this simple problem solving thinking task wrong. They contradict themselves so often, the longer I talk/debate points with them. I get to use and also benefit from this learned knowledge several times per day. It's truly both mind boggling and so sad to see all the evidence of just how many people will go to their graves being reduced to living all those years with such wrong perceptions of almost everything they talk about. Yes, they truly get so negative when you correctly strategize to reduce it to the ridiculous, and prove them wrong about even basic problem solving mistakes (with only one mathematically based right answer!) they make, leading to them making the same mistakes up to thousands of times over and over on simple tasks. Many wise people in the past came up with many wise sayings that stand the test of time. I really respect so many wise old sayings, as well as any new wisdom, right down to points in comments like yours. I do read them a few times and take time to do some thinking about them.Anyways, that wise old saying is so true about how ignorance is bliss. The 'bliss' is evidenced by the huge egos so many people have. They are so hard to teach!! Then again, I don't have that impressive title that many successful false prophets have or don't get my thrills winning popularity contests by simply easily knowing how to tell people what they like to hear for my personal gains. That system is so powerful and so successful.

@@jusayenso8186 cool! I'm a fan of psychology also! Full disclosure; I'm just a dumb truck driver. But I've enjoyed a lot of audio courses, etc... I also have the freedom to think, and explore, whatever interests me. I've learned a bit about alot of things, but I don't know "much" about anything. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. On the subject of leadership, l'd encourage you to find a comfortable scale that suits your method of conveying logical thought, and sparking the interest of fertile minds. You know, as a hobby. Some will make you an "outcast", for diverting mindless conversation toward intellectually constructive "brainstorming". Alas, you probably have "been there, done that". "Break" for substance: All the "PATTERNS" you've referred are a psychological prerequisites for the empire of civilization to exist. Psychological manipulation is big business. What this post is attempting to supply, is a path to exist within civilization, while escaping the psychological confinement, necessary to maintain the "GRAND ILLUSION" of civilization. ☺ It's not as hard as we make it out to be. Security is an illusion. This illusion can only be purchased in exchange for psychological freedom. Not a good deal.

I feel the only real failures are falling short of goals set for yourself. Of course failures are necessary to learn, so we must figure how to move forward. Being "a failure" coincides with labeling which has proven to be very destructive for humanity. So, the importance surrounding why it is we set certain goals is a large point of interest. Hard to remember while society is seemingly setting goals for us.

Cliff Ford I’m at this point as well. The universe is pointing me this way.

Word

Buying a nice house nowadays is very hard for the typical working family. No wonder kids are living at home for so long now.

We're going this way also, buying a house is one of the worst deal ever; you spend most of your life paying for it. Having less expenses makes you able to live with more freedom and work less.

I can't help but think it is our spiritual link to nature which draws us back to the simple life. Somehow god has pushed a certain kind of people back to their roots and you can't help but wonder if it's the energy building up for the shtf moment and we are just more in tune than others who choose to live the corporate life.

This is not something Hemingway said. Do you mean Thoreau?

Hey, @Gary Palmer please write a book about your adventures!!

That’s an amazing story. Do you have any regrets in your life and the way you lived it? Do you have family/kids? It would be nice to read a blog about your experiences. Hitchhiking?! 😧 Did you ever feel that was dangerous? What are the cons to living this way and the pros? Really interested. I have an irrational fear of homelessness I think. I don’t think I’d mind living in a van or something, but I’d like to be safe, and not into driving a lot. I’d like to pick a few beautiful places and stay at each one for 6 months at a time.

I think I've seen you pedaling away on the side of the road, I was in tucson for awhile.

Bravo, I’m amazed by people who know what they want and even better are confidant in what they want . I was so abused, neglected, and injured by undiagnosed and untreated accidents (ie; head injury) it’s been one long saga of being punted around the football field by life trying this and that not knowing what the hell was happening. But I give myself an A for effort. I haven’t given up and am figuring out what I want at long last. My friend said a lot of people unfortunately don’t understand themselves very well.

Gary definitely has to write a book! What I really like is he never had a car. It's never too late if your somewhat healthy to live this life. Why not!

Michelle Burkholder that’s how it feels at first then, you realize it’s only because most people willfully enslave themselves. Very few people get by in this life free of shackles

Along with what Rusty said there, most people you encounter in life, absolutely hate to see other people happy. Happiness is each individuals responsibility. Find what makes you happy, and you will find others in that happiness.

self love??? wow...we're doomed as a nation.

Jenny...Well said. There are so many people who are so afraid of being their true selves around others. They can often be much older than 25 or even 40, but still show too many signs of being stuck at the teenage peer pressure conformity level. It's so overrated, when people think they are wise because they are older than teens. They bought into that overrated saying that "wisdom comes with aging". Of course they did! But it doesn't take any real effort or smarts to breath and age.

Any chance you thumpers could pray quietly -- on your own time -- somewhere else? Where the rest of the world doesn't have to wade through your nonsense? If you believe this crap, why announce your intentions -- just do it and quit talking about it -- nobody except those of your ilk care about what you have to say.

Michael Corrothers " Learn to be respectful " Only disrespect I have read here is your post. You assume the right to judge others ? Free of sin ? Your perfect ? Keep throwing them stones then. Jesus would be proud of how you preach from your soapbox ?

Michael Corrothers If you are "just passing through", then please...act as a guest, and show some respect to the home and it's inhabitants. We didn't escape the rat race to be preached to. If you must pray, simply do so. I've heard it's quite the quiet activity...

This Scripture passage is also applicable because it highlights the truth that there are more important things to think about than material concerns like what we will eat or wear. If we spend our whole lives running after these things we could miss what is really more important in life. Things like how we love others and God.

Slim Travels Well said

I sense that Bob is talking to young folks (I'm 63 and just went fulll-time in an RV this year)....however in my case it took 60 years to develop enough to take this step. ....those 40 years were not really wasted, ya know?

+PerSueTheDream no, no wasted. I feel the same way. I have spent the last 28 years bring up four kids as a widow, so I could never, ever say I regret it however I too am coming to this (54) and I can't wait -- it will be next year I think. Happy trails, Alison xoxox

+PerSueTheDream Amen!

Charlie The Tuna... You are right, it is the best ever!

Point taken however for myself it beats paying for a big non mobile space that I sleep in. Personally I’ve never been much for houses since a little kid. And realize now I was miserable when I forced myself to live in one doing what I thought was supposed to do rather than what my intuition was guiding me to do. I sometimes think in evolutionary terms. By roaming around we are vectors. More opportunity establish territory, mix, etc. space spoofers will be the new mountain men. I would be a mountain man if I could. But I’ll try and be a mountain man of the mind first as the subconscious gets a lot of programming crap that needs to be deleted.

Pretty much all that is done in a house for the majority. Most hours in a house are spent sleeping.

Yes, exactly. We do need some source of income but living far below our means and saving money is the path to freedom. Always think about your purchases and make the best of the things you have.

Good luck having that in California lol

@@danithaman4610 Arizona is like Illinois. Property tax is much cheaper and neighborhoods ain’t hell holes thsts it & the weather is decent in Az

@@SheikhN-bible-syndrome Rent out in Southern California goes from $2300 to $2800 or more. A lot of people are going homeless because they raise the rent they kick people out for no reason so they could bring someone new in and get commission

Thats an astronomical amount for rent. Its such a pisstake we live in a mad world, I live in the uk pay around £700 here for a nice one bed apartment. Although I would like more space and a garden all my neighbours are elderly so its peaceful mostly apart from one noisy fucker. Been renting cheap as possible for a while to save for a homestead in the hills of spain.

Terry Twocents ...I was supposed to watch this video.

Wait. Microsoft was founded in 1975. If you were 75 in 2016, you were born in 1941. So you were 34 in 1975. Now, that's when the company was founded, and there were 3 employees. In fact, even by 1979, they only had 28 employees. By 1981, they had 128 employees. So say you got hired in 1980, which even then seems unlikely (there were only 40 employees). You would have been 37. You say you worked until you were 45. So that would be at most 8 years at Microsoft - yet you say you worked "most" of 25 years at Microsoft. It makes no sense. Even if you were one of those three founders who worked at the company beginning in 1975, you would still be 34 at the time. You say you retired at 45, so that would be 11 years. You say you worked "most" of your 25 years at microsoft - but even if you founded the company, it still wouldn't be most of your working years. Now if you WERE working for microsoft in 1980 - you would have been one of the original 40 employees - so you would have retired with a sizable amount of stock and retirement benefits. Being wealthy early is a lot different than what this guy is talking about.

I can confirm the part about other employees retiring and dropping dead and being to physically ill to enjoy retirement.

jorasparents Wow!! People like you kill me. Do you not even pay attention and actually understand what you read? Why is it that so many people are so miserable that they are constantly trying to prove others wrong? I mean wow, you took this SOO WRONG and then went and googled information to prove this man wrong whom you don't even know. PAT ATTENTION before you go trying to make someone else look stupid and like they are lying. HE SAID he worked his ass off for 25 years, and then said he MOSTLY worked his ass of at Microsoft - meaning that job was the one he worked at that he worked very hard more than ANY of his JOBS. JOBS. NOT JOB.

jorasparents theres always one in the crowd

I agree. Bone crushing work is not the enemy it you don't want it to be. Sleep and appetite is good. Nothing better than a cold glass of water when your extremely thirsty. I've done both. Hard work and leisure. I'm ok and good with both.

ive seen it and done what i wanted . now it time for me to sit still. boredom is in the mind and im never bored

Let's be real, most of the travel promoted by any vehicle dweller is also sitting still. Sitting still at 70 MPH. But what is your body doing? Sitting still. You'd have to walk your way to your destination to do anything other than sit. Everything else is just what your eyes see. And what your mind does. You should see lovely things! And you should think exciting thoughts! And they should be yours! Enjoy!

No, I think people do that out of consideration of the people they leave behind. Its absolutely horrific to have to arrange a funeral and other things while grieving the loss of a loved one.

You are the idiot, even the funeral companies are saying that the insurance is a rip off and that people are better off in saving the money. Weak up blind man.

Mario Theuma, I have replied to your original post on the same aggressive level for you call me stupid. I you was making your point without insulting my reply to you will be different I am old enough to perhaps be in my last 15 years of life or less and long ago I studied this matter to see what was the more sensible way. Instead of paying the funeral insurance I have opted to save the same amount weekly that will cost me the policy. I would never leave the cost of a funeral to my family even if have to leave my reminds for helping students to do their research. What ever you have selected I wish you a good outcome. Have a nice day.

That sounds so funny!!

Many of the things Bob does can still help you. Not everyone is highly nomadic, but can still live without waste and much more respectful to the environment and other people while being stationary. Or you can live a hybrid lifestyle by living nomadicaly throughout the summer then hunker down for the winter. It doesn't have to be one way or the other. You'll see more what I'm talking about as his series progresses.

True! Despite my disagreement with Bob, I am proud to do what I do and I get a great feeling when I visit home and see my family happy and content, even jammed together in that tiny box. My daughters and granddaughters ride horses and tend to the property. They visit neighbors and go to school and do crafts and art and play music. That's a good life and it is my labor that provides that.

I must admit I disagree with the premise of ensuring "the safety, well-being, and happiness (now and in the future)" of anyone else. Safety is pretty much an illusion (see above). Well-being and happiness are an individual choice and responsibility once adulthood is reached. The future is truly and totally unknown.

If you don't enjoy supporting your family, why did you have one?

People change over time. My question is whether it's reasonable to take responsibility for grown children's "safety, well-being, and happiness (now and in the future)" if you've already raised them to adulthood?

Same for me, so true and inspirational. I come from time to time to listen to it again.
