Most people that have stressed out jobs are not happy, and live most of their lives indoors, watching the tube. It´s the simple things that counts, being free and in nature all the time are priceless.

HARDCORE DUDE

I'm partime overlander... Live in my X4 Frontier three months out of the year ... Love the freedom, there are pluses & minuses ... RVs & Vans are nice but not enough freedom ... Carry a tent for a Decoy, when needed ... Main thing for me is ... be mobile, able to drive any Jeep Trail ... Nature for me is Religion... So peaceful... I think you are living a great life ... No crowded cities, No congested neighborhoods ... the number one thing, NO HOAs ...

You are at the mercy of the elements, and extreme heat is the worst, you can't protect yourself from it living in your Jeep. You are in my thoughts when the temps rise! ✨🥀💫

That's why it's a good thing you bought some land and can have a home base. 😊

After I hit my mid 50s it got much harder to tolerate the heat and humidity. I am mostly along the gulf coast. Texas to Florida. Aging makes lots of things hard on your body. In my early 60s tolerating cold weather became hard. So now it’s both- the hot and the cold. It’s normal. It’s life. Chase 70 degrees !

Nomad life is such a learning experience . Learning to navigate daily chores gets interesting and creative, town folks are clueless .

I use my tent to park my motorcycle in

When I was homeless with my children the weather played a big part. It was summer and the heat was unbearable. I used any money I could to get hotel room on the extreme days. My mini van definitely was to small for us so wherever we went we got our tent out and it was great cause it just looks like we were camping.

Spread a microfiber sheet that you can cover ALL of the exposed surfaces h3hind the drivers seat. While you are traversing the dusty backroads. When you get to your destination, eithe gather up drop the sheet in a bucket with some rinse water and hang up or just shake out.. just anchor daily house keeping chore to make life in a small place easier. Silk or satin work great too.❤

It’s difficult traveling with pets. I have my dog, Ursa, and a cat, Thomas, and like you, I’d never give up my pets for anything.

Great video today Sarah! I love how you asked Lil One "Do you think it sucks living in the jeep?" She paused, looks around, then wags her tail and lays down☺️ She loves living in the jeep as much as you do👍 Your explanation of 10 reasons it sucks living in a jeep was simplistic and easy to understand and still sounds so wonderful😊 The scenery is breathtaking💚 My favorite part of your video was your awesome summary 29:51-32:55 Thank you❣️

I’ve tried so hard to keep dust out of the back of my truck, but dust always gets in somehow. As social beings we evolved with chemicals in our brains that give us happiness and joy by being around other people. Those same chemicals like dopamine and serotonin are also released when we experience the beauty of nature. I believe there is a fine balance that can be achieved by experiencing both. Great video, thanks for sharing!😊

Glad to see lil one is doing way better ❤. You both are happy 😊

Good video I don’t think people realize all the little things that you deal with while living on the road. I’ve been in my class c 4yrs boondocking 90% of the time. But if your determined to live this life you find ways to make it all work out. I had same issue with my pup too. She unfortunately passed at 13 last year. I found my dog kept the isolation from being too much. I have found a few people I camp near every year when I’m in az and it’s been great. I travel back east every summer to visit family and friends and avoid heat in desert. I actually miss my az camp friends we stay in touch all summer till I return in fall

I like my jeep man I got a bed and dresser in mine and lots of water in the front I love it ❤I love yours because it's white

Hello Lovely I really enjoy your videos especially for your honesty and there is something humble and shy about you that I do appreciate so much and can relate to. To answer your question: I do value my shower, my kitchen and my big bed at home every single day. Having been to India, Nepal, Pakistan and Iran I realize that for the majority of people on our planet we are so fortunate and rich . Even if I'm poor in my country I still have a tiny flat and a car. During the summermonths I convert my Peugeot Partner into a Micro Camper. The very first time that I went on a trip I took my pug 'Gucci' (she' now gone) with me. We were all set up to go to sleep. Her little bed was on top of my bed and it was just cozy and all good. Then suddenly she diarrhead all over her bed my bedcover and bedsheet. There was no way to clean the mess without a washing machine. Our trip was over in the middle of the first night 😅Van life seems to give you so much and listening to you I wonder if you are highly sensitive and that's why you need a lot of time on your own, just your dog and nature arround Without all the noise of citylife ... Whishing you allways a save and beautyful journey Maren

It is what it is..enjoy it while you have it. Stay motivated..😊

You are awesome for being able to do so👍

With regards to the dirt and dust, it’s really the same in a house. I don’t know where all of it comes from but I can dust all my house and the next day it’s the same. I vacuum daily and the next day it’s the same amount of dust and dirt. At least in your jeep it’s a small area to clean.

Wishing you the best on ur journeys Sarah! Keep on Jeeping and wishing you a happy birthday Gemini ❤ Gemini here also 🎉

Well now that you have some property I would work on getting your home base set up so you can take a break and have some of the amenities you're missing on the road. I love to travel around, but not during the summer. I know you realize how lucky you are doing what you do, but having a home port gives you peace of mind.

Sarah, the key to being happy is an attitude of gratitude and staying healthy, mind and body. Being a guy, seeing you at a hot spring once in a while would be nice. Godspeed

I have a 'prop' tent😂

I like forest service campgrounds. Not only are they cheaper than state or NP, you can get a 50% discount on your fees if you have one of the national passes. Ive also had no problem sleeping in my little car (Hyundai Elantra GT).

Hope you still have your tent for living space when weather permits. Having an enclosure to stand up and move around is always a positive!

You have fantastic big tires!

It would be nice if you could get an inexpensive trailer or tiny home parked on a friend's land around La Sal Junction or Northern AZ.

I love your videos. Keep up the good work. I keep a small tent when I go to a camp ground. Sometimes I use it to cook a meal in when the weather is bad but mostly I just just use it as deterent from park officials.

A small motorhome pulling your Jeep would be ideal, but more expensive also! You need some room to stretch out and relax for a while if needs be, and then go on short excursions in the Jeep.

Anyone remembers the "Station Wagon". Now that's got room. Remember the wind deflector on the rear it was meant to keep dust out of the back window. Just wondering if that could keep her dust problem down. Got to get my hearing checked thought you said your face was small, no you face is quite nice perfect actually.😄 Thank you stay safe ALL

I don't stress over showers I use a bucket with is same thing I'm not trying to be comfortable pooping lol I just get it done and I just started 2mo in I have been where I don't feel like cooking lol I got a 12v blanket works very well and a 10below sleeping bag.

Great videos... I cover everything with tapestries, sheets, peices of cloth. I have small washable rugs on the floor. That way the dust falls and I can just shake out the rugs. Lot less dusting and I can wash the covers. Showers I have a diy sprayer shower I spray painted black. Strap it to the roof so a hot or warm shower is ready the hose can go into the shower tent. I put a valve on it by the spray head. Only have to refill like every 3rd time that's with using it for dishes. I travel with my cat. I take her to hot springs in a pet backpack. She has a fold down play pen fits under my mattress it's super thin folded up. She chills out in the shade of her playpen while I soak... Your pup may enjoy that. Hope these suggestions may help you. Keep having a great life.

I like out of the way places to camp, so something small works for me. Have had 2 VW Westfalias, loved them. Had a class C for a while,little too big for places i wanted to go. My current camper is a 59 Ford panel truck. A Jeep sounds very rational compared to that!

Somehow, you always make some kinda magic happen with your videos Sarah. Well, I'm normally spellbound. Love your approach and the way you think. Same rules as always, Be well, happy and safe. Love ya, Wolfie. Dug, UK.

Being portable requires more maintenance. After awhile this can become tiresome, but being portable makes one feel free and opens opportunities.

I love that life too. The freedom. The beauty. But with limits. Even before I was married with children. Luckily my wife and 9 yr old like it too and will go on a west adventure for 2 months this summer with me that includes roughing it a bit. But it’s nice to have a home base too. Why not consider a home base, even a modest one somewhere?

21:33 that's right! And Lil' One loves you too! ♥

❤ hello Sara I think I love you. You’re my best friend. Thank you for being there for us and bringing us along with you.❤❤

Being able to get out and go see places like your doing is one of the main reasons I live in Prescott AZ. It's centrally located you can go anywhere within an hour. It's a great place for overland adventures.. I lived out of my truck too for a while by choice. I'm about a mile away from Senator highway. 😁

I know how hard it is to try to keep the dust out of your vehicle. I live on a dirt street and the dust constantly gets into my van. Great video of the ups and downs of nomadic life Sarah. Safe travels for you and little one 😊

Bravo you did this so well and so honestly it was absolutely beautiful. Lotta people do videos like this but I think I have never experienced such a heartfelt honesty before. Thank you so muchlove ❤❤

So I guess if I bought lil-one it would be a package deal??!! I could not do what your doing in a jeep. I am looking for a Grand Cherokee so I can pull my 17 foot trailer. I would not pass up a good deal on a jeep like yours. I live in a small home by myself but it may be a burden if I wanted to be away for extended periods. I have 2 sons that would keep an eye on things so maybe that would work out. I don't know but I am working on it. Oh well, just have to see what tomorrow brings! Lonely has not been an issue so far. Any way be safe and take care! Have a good day!

Sara, maybe the dust comes through your vents from your air conditioner or heater I don’t know. Just a guess. Have a beautiful day.

During extreme dust situations like deep powder logging roads it is possible to tape the back metal joints of the tailgate and stop just about all the dust from creeping into your stuff.

You have to realize before you vanlife that you'll have to give up certain amenities from living within a home. You have to be physically and mentally prepared to do vanlife. Another thing is vanlife isn't for everyone. I love it! I'm a single solo urban city dweller. I'm the happiest I have been in 40 years. If you plan to do vanlife. Don't overthink it! You don't have to have an expensive van or car. But you do want a reliable one. So if you want to do it prepare yourself mentally first! Knowing you won't be parked on a beach every day or near a waterfall out in nature! Some days will be good and some days not so good. You have to go with the flow of things and be adaptable!

Running out of gas would be the worse 😊

I use a Stihl BGA 57 blower to blow the AZ dust from my house furniture, floor, and car's interior. Battery operated, quiet operation, lightweight and adjustable blower tube. Just have to be careful pointing it toward lightweight stuff like pictures, knickknacks, tv remotes, plants etc. Works well outside on the patio too.

Living in a Jeep can be fun but stay west of the 100th meridian. It gets hot in the summer but if you can head up into the mountains with the amazing views, nice. Maintenance sucks money from your wallet and lets not forget all the dust and dirt. Cleaning things out is a chore, always is. You and Lil One are together 100% of the time which is a lot better than someone in a home, by themselves with just a TV for company. I hope you enjoy your life as you want to live it Sarah and not how others think you should be living it like some of the commenters below, sheesh!

You know when you tell people the details about your Jeep some of us get very jealous...have a great day in your jeep😊

They have made it illegal to sleep in public in Florida and or in a vehicle. So pack a tent folks when you head to sunny Fla !

I believe that the hardest trials for me living a Nomad lifestyle, would be having a income to pay for my expenses, such as vehicle servicing, along with repairs etc…… Loneliness is only you being human, with human desires, and emotions. The longer that you are alone traveling, one day when you reach a point, and wish to settle down in a area for good, putting your nomad lifestyle behind you, you‘re definitely are going to have it extemely hard adjusting to people being around you.

I realize there are a lot of people out there that might disagree with this, but it IS the opinion from someone who has “camped out” (but not by choice) most of my life…. No matter how cool, romantic, or neat you try to make it sound, here are some facts: 1. Eventually, no matter how hard you try and fight it off, you will indeed get tired of doing this (as you may already be). The expression “I’m getting too old for this s**t!” comes to mind. Mark my words, Sarah. 2. Once you decide you want out, you will have to start all over as far as buying a house and getting settled down somewhere goes, because you just spent several of the last years of your life living in a frickin Jeep instead of fixing up your house and settling down! 3. Originally when you started this, it was on the premise that it would help you with your depression. I am seeing just the opposite. 4. Now don’t get me wrong Sarah, I know that you love the Little One with all of your heart (nobody is disputing that), but do you really think that type of environment is good for a dog that age? That dog needs a real home and doesn’t need to be waking up in a strange environment every day. Dogs need to settle down eventually too! 😉 I enjoy watching your channel very much, Sarah. But if it is at YOUR expense, I don’t need to see you living in a Jeep that bad! To be honest, after watching your videos and hearing some of the things that you’ve said lately, I’m really worried for you, Sarah. I really hope a positive change happens in your life very soon. You deserve one!!!
