I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 10+ years. I am a photographer and forager. We enjoy hiking, camping, paddle boarding, climbing and being outside as much as we can. We have countless stories and lessons to share and are always trying to learn new skills and improve in many aspects of life. Thank you for coming along.

I would definitely love to see the old footage. Thanks for making beautiful videos.
I haven't read through the comments so someone may have already said this. My husband works on cars and said he thinks whoever worked on your van forgot to torque the control arm. He said he's seen it before, the final thing needed to do is the final torque. People get in a hurry and install everything including the shims but forget to torque it properly and then everything starts to loosen and the shims will fall out. That's his best guess.
Anyone being judgmental about her treatment of Frank needs to take a step back and rethink their priorities. They have no idea how much she gives to this dog and has kept it healthy for years. Armchair quarterbacks who think they know everything and are judgmental, should go watch videos of paint drying. This is real life and Amanda is the best dog mom for Frank. For those of us who have been watching for years, we can testify to that.

Great to hear Frank’s foot is healing - you are such a good mum to him ♥️ I live fulltime in my van with my Kelpie x Jack Russell x Cattle dog in Australia and we enjoy watching your adventures, so many awesome lakeside camping spots. We love we get a mix of vanlife, camping, hiking, meal ideas, campfires and van mechanics and more. Love to see that video on your past hike vs this one and how you’ve been preparing behind the scenes. I have a sprinter and good honest mechanics are hard to find but I too have just found a great mechanic after 4 years of searching, and when your vehicle is your home a lot more is riding on it being safe so we need that reassurance it’s in good hands. Enjoy the rest of your time on the island.

Ive owned many Chevy trucks since i was a teen.. Be pro-active Ananda. The roads you travel and living in it def will keep you safer. I was shocked to see that upper A arm with no shims.. super dangerous. Grrrrrrf!. But if this mechanismc on the Island can do the service correctly, let him. Guys like that are rare nowadays... Prayers and be blessed🙏🙏🙏👍🤙🤙💚💚

Ya know, I can only imagine the "comments" you get when you leave Frank to go do things. I am an avid outdoors lady, and I am also a dog lover and owner. As they age, it is hard to leave them behind and continue on adventures BUT, I did find my health and physical abilities dwindling as I stopped going as much, as to not leave the dog behind. I am an older woman and letting my fitness go is no longer an option. I have an older dog now and she can't do what she use to be able to do, so, I do both. I take her on outings and I also go solo where I can push myself more and keep and improve my physical and mental health.

Those smooth rocks around your camp site and fire were so beautiful! Omg, that hike to the other side of the island was inspiring.
A family member has EDS and her body hurts daily. What helps, when her lower back hurts, is a massage not only there, but her buttocks and legs, insisting on the back of her knees. But pain and muscle relaxant pills help when the pain is too much. As for the hip, do you sleep more on one side? I was told to sleep on the left side because of Gerd, but after doing that for a while, the right side started to hurt. After realising what was happening and sleeping on both sides, the pain went away. Love your videos a lot, they relax me, and give me a sense of joy and calm. Have a great day!
Frank looks like a senior dog but he looks healthy and happy so just keep doing what your doing with him you got this.

Definitely, yes, I'd love to see your old footage and some 'then and now' comparisons. But only if it's fun for you. If it becomes a drudge, then don't bother. I love sharing the walk with you through the woods and down to the beach. I love watching you take care of Frank. What a lucky guy! And I always love watching you build a fire. Hey, here's a potato frying tip I learned from my old friend Nick. Do everything just as you already do, but put a lid on them to hold in the steam. They will cook up so much faster if you hold that heat in. And they still get nice and brown.
What a fantastic spot and wow good for you on the big hike. My pup loves popcorn too. ❤
I agree LMNT is the best I ordered over a year ago after your recommendation and I back you up on this product.
Frank is adorable as always. Your photography is lovely. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Take care!
it's upsetting that we put our life in these mechanics hands and they screw up. having a mechanic you can trust is a great feeling. I am glad you got this fixed.. That was a great shot of Frank at the end.
UGH mechanics. So hard to find a good one! I drive a 1997 Dodge B3500. I take months long trips, but have an apartment, too. I have not yet found a mechanic I can trust after owning my van 6 years. I do what I can myself. Glad you and Frank are healing!!
