Why is nobody talking about them singing!! It was amazing!
I totally felt that!!! 🙏 Such Blessed talent!!!
It's exactly what I talked about! ☺️🤩🙌🏾😊💃🏾
I know, they harmonize very well!
Totally amazing. Excellent harmonies & bluesiness!!🎵💙💫🌀
I enjoyed it so much!!
"Everyone is so polarized, it is hard to have a truthful conversation". Well said Barron and so very true.
Not everyone is "polarized". The majority is observing and respecting facts, science and electoral results. Others are just out of their minds!
Also, that bumper sticker should say "one FEWER sprinter". Hate to play the role of grammar police on here, but I've been drinking. Prolly some grammatical errors in this post.
Barron - I agree with you. Everything is so polarized, it is making us more lonely. Instead of being able to share our differences with each other to come to a greater understanding of humanity, it feels people are guarded and angry and become defensive when you question their beliefs. Even if your question is meant in a harmless way to further understand your fellow human. How will people learn and grow if everyone is scared to share their feelings. Is the cause of such anger over questioning ones beliefs due to insecurity of their beliefs? No one can take your beliefs from you except yourself. Anyway, I will patiently wait for the day when we can all talk together again, whether we see the world the same or not and be ok with sharing.
Elsa - I like woo-woo stuff too :) another thing I've found beneficial in calming my mind and emotions is doing breath work
I zoom with my family every Friday night. I have grown closer to them, and this is an example of technology used for good. I can see how happy my mom is to see her daughters (we live in different states) connection is key!
@@KHKH-zp7cq I practice yoga via Zoom with my friend a couple times a week. So thankful we have this way to connect!
I wasn't sure what the word 'polarized' meant, so I looked it up, and it means this.........."to cause to vibrate in a definite pattern" Hmm what's so wrong about that?
what a beautiful journal entry! Thanks for sharing :)
You guys, thank you! So happy to see you here!
Yay 🙌 Justin & Juby 🙂
Why would anyone thumbs down these awesome humans who are living life their way, on their terms, they are respectful to everyone and everything including nature, they share a bit of their lives with us under no conditions and no obligations. I have enjoyed their journey from the beginning and look forward to many more years of adventures from them! Love you Elsa, Barron and Kamp 🐾 💕
Please wear a helmet when you climb. I've seen some ugly things. Your brains are precious. The rocks don't care how experienced you are.
I’m a neuro-ICU nurse, and I approve this message. Seen things you wouldn’t believe following head injuries after a rock-climbing fall.
I concur, vehemently!
Yes! We must protect them! 😅
Speaking of Kamps defiance,,,.... My Mom used to say our pets sometimes assume our personalities! LOL
So that why My kitten attacks me??? Haha
@@kaitlinh7449 cats are alphas, they are always in charge.
@@jamesvaughn9059 just don’t tell the dogs that. Lol
She must have met me and my parrot
🤩🐦
One of my absolutely favorite things in life is the adorable sound of a beloved pup munch crunch munching on a coveted cookie.
I am about to be 69 years old. I do daily spiritual contemplations. I rarely find anyone with that commonality, let alone someone your ages. I look forward to seeing your dreams come true of land and a place to share your skills with others!
Barron your journal entry touched me deeply! You and Elsa continue to live a life I could only dream. At 43, stuck with my mental health and substance abuse issues I continue to grapple with the thought of living my own truth, living off grid would bring me such happiness. Alas, with no funds for an off grid camper, I find comfort in your videos. Thank you both for continuing to inspire. Small town gal in NH
Love the Barron talk and journaling. Y’all are so genuine, it is comforting. So rare.
You two are an amazing couple! The way you communicate, the way you work together and the way you look out for each other's needs. I'm 67 and is use your various interactions to ground me in my everyday stressors. We bought a Class C and are entering the nomadic life. Please, you two take care to protect the amazing treasure you have in each other.
These are like mini movies, effortlessly captivating.
Where to start. As always, your videography rocks - perspective, slowness, focus. Elsa sharing her meditation practice and herself. And THEN, the climbing and beautiful music making combined with all of your beautiful laughter and the support you gave each other. That just opened up a whole other box of how climbing can be experienced. So positive and sweet and fun and great. And then Barron sharing how he journals and reading his journal entry. Every second of this video enriched my day and my heart. Thank you.
Everything you said about being defiant and more in tune with the natural rhythms resonates so deeply with me. I've never heard it put into words like that before. I have so much gratitude for you both sharing your life and living in your truth!! Much love from the UK
I absolutely adore you guys!
"The path is righteous." Man, you laughing at that was priceless! How many times have I written that over the years. Glad you are realizing that sometimes we take ourselves a little too seriously and realize... we don't know that much. As long as we are paying attention and learning all the time, well.... it ain't wrong. Nice to hear from ya Barron. And you guys were "rockstars!!! (Loved that music!) Happy Christmas 🎄❤️
Dude! That journal reading was righteous and profound!
I loved Bonnie & Scotlyn's music!!
also... so jealous of your climbing... I literally just watched Free Solo and The Dawn Wall and am totally inspired to get out climbing in nature rather than just indoors!
Are there any indoor gyms around you? Not sure if they’d be open right now but it’s a great place to get started and build strength!! We are from Kansas, very flat state with very little outdoor climbing, so we spent a ton of time at climbing gyms when we lived there! I am confident you would LOVE climbing.
I just watched those two movies this week too! Funny enough The Dawn Wall made me more nervous since I already knew Alex completed his climb in Free Solo. Both inspired me to want to climb though!
My favourite of all your videos so far. The way you've captured powerful contemplative moments and observations, as well as the sheer beauty of the landscape - and balanced that out with the climbing fun and energy, and the music - takes the viewer on a journey and encourages some reflection of their own. Loved the explanation about meditation (a great reminder I should do that more!). Found your videos from Elsa's bullet journal primer and have since started a journal of my own using some of those ideas. Was great in this video to hear about Barron's journal approach too, and the honesty and emotional depth with which he recounts his experiences is really moving. Thank you for everything you share!
Elsa and Barron this is the best video I have see in the last year coming from the "Scamp" productions. A perfectly balance video about mental and physical health in today's ever changing environment. Many thanks and blessings for the personal insights garner from mediation only top by a physical activity demonstrating a partnership of fun. I am proud of your generation.
One of my favorite videos you guys have put forth yet. Thank you so much for sharing your mindfulness practices with us. I meditate and journal also and have similar experiences and insights. And Barron, thanks for sharing one of your journal entries and being so connected to nature and your truth. I agree that journaling is even more important now because of the divisive social and political climate we're in. Helps to calm the mind and allow for a balanced and compassionate perspective to unfold. Your pipe is a wonderful addition to your mindfulness routine too. Love to you both Elsa and Barron! 🖖💗
This made me very emotional. Thank you Barron for reading one of your journal entries. It was beautiful. I also love to journal. Hugs and love ❤
Enough internet. Thanks for the friendly reminder! Love you guys and your thoughtful insights! So open!
Wow. Thank you. Your thoughts on mindfulness were very on point. To be in the moment. Wonderful. You have a better concept of reality then most people. Barron to hear ur inner thoughts were a gift. Thank you. The two of you are so real with urself. To be able to see that you are truly living in the real moment. Beautiful. What's more is that through journaling you'll look back at the adventures of your lives! How Delightful!
I really enjoyed eating my McRibb whilst watching you guys climb. Tis the season for McRibbs
Lol
Who saw Elsa dancing in the shadow🤣...she is awesome🥰....u toooo Barron😊.....and camp obviously😘😘😘🦊
That breakfast mix was amazing..so many ingredients to have in a Scamp.
I was thinking the same thing! Ha Ha
You all are so wonderful. Felt like Barron was talking directly to me re journaling and mindfulness practices. Thank you for all you share and do. Even though I haven’t met you guys, your videos are so helpful and really hit home for me. Grateful I found you, internet friends 🙏😊
Baron. I wish you would create a guided meditation. I just love your voice. It it so calming and relaxing to hear you speak. I would listen to you every night.. Thank you for sharing your private journal thoughts with us.
It seemed like the theme for the whole video was about "letting go": letting go of everything and everyone and having a fabulous meal, letting go of the things in the world around you while rock climbing and enjoying fun times with friends (I enjoyed the music, by the way!), letting go of what's in your head and putting it down onto paper (What a release! I used to keep a diary; I might start back up again. Thanks for the inspiration, Barron!), and letting go and having Kamp to just be Kamp. Wow! Nice video! Take care and God bless you!
“Let it go.... let it goooo!!” -Elsa
Awesome journal entry.
I used to journal.
You make me wanna get back to it.
That means I'd have to give time to ME...
The pipe and just pure tobacco -- awesomeness.
A lovely combination of tension (climbing) and release (journaling). Loved hearing your thoughts, Barron. You two continue to calm and inspire me! Thank you for sharing! (And I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who breaks out into mouth trumpet solos! Loved that song!)
It's so interesting you mentioned meditation in this video! I had given up on it until I just listened to the book '10% Happier by Dan Harris' which is literally all about meditation and mental health.... this must be a sign haha
Do you recommend the book?
I will have to check that book out. Thanks!
I’ve been meditating using dan’s app, also called 10% happier, for about a year now. I recommend it to everyone I know, it has improved my life and mental health significantly.
Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts with us, Barron. Struggling to live more in harmony with nature has been a constant in my life, too.
I have not been successful with meditation, I need to try harder but I do get a lot of relief from my thoughts by listening to audio books. Right now I am listening to all the free Agatha Christie audio books on you tube as I clean and cook. This keeps me from over thinking and worrying. I am 72 and have just started having health issue that side lined me from life. Enjoy your youth, it is fleeting. :-) Baron you have a wonderful way with words, I am sure writing a book is in your future. Your voice would be so enjoyable to listen to reading an audio book. Take care kids.
Baron does have a great audio book voice, Elsa too. I hope they put their experiences and thoughts into a book.
I completely resonate with Elsa and Barron’s comments on meditation. It is work that pays back in a big way. (I just started again after a long hiatus and wow.. talk about atrophy!). I also think it’s very cool how transparent you are/were about the pipe. Alluding to the fact that you and Elsa have your conflicts like any couple. One has to be pretty brave to be real enough to expose themselves to the often harsh critique of a social media following. I suspect (hope) that folks who are attracted to you two are kind.
What a beautiful life you have God bless and enjoy every single moment.
Long quiet views and walks are the greatest therapy for me. I also like to sit in the dark in the woods and just listen while looking up at the sky.
I've only come across y'all recently (thanks to Elsa's backpacking trip to the AT), and I am always shocked by how inspiring you both are to me. I love watching your videos and can't wait to watch more! I think Baron has such a wise-ness beyond his years. You both inspire me to create again, make memories, and live the life you want to live. I appreciate you both - this is too cheesy as I don't even know either of you. But just know, you are truly making an impact on other's lives.
Thats great Elsa, meditating. I thought you explained it so perfectly. One way that has helped me immensely is looking at each thought as a cloud. Cloud comes and go, so visualizing the thought just having its moment, then blow away, is extremely helpful!
First thought: this is my favorite video that y’all have made so far this year - very thoughtful and inspiring content in my opinion!
Second thought: the rock that Barron uses as a backdrop during the tobacco/ journaling bit is super dope! Nature creates the best color palettes ☺️
I really enjoyed the opening segment of rock climbing and live music, two of my favorite things.
Back in the early ‘70s I used to do a lot of rock climbing, without those ropes, anchors, or carabiners. It’s totally exhilarating.
Nowadays, we mostly play music for fun. It’s such a blast.
Thanks for taking us along on another adventure.
Also, I really love your meal prep. It all looks so delicious and nutritious.
Out There
In this world of chaos it's nice to see someone living life.
This was awesome - my favorite part was the journal entry. A lot to think about. Thank you.
Wow. Those journal words are so very powerful. They really resonate with me. Thank you for sharing
This is possibly one of my favourite videos you have done. I too love woo woo stuff!
Scamp is looking extra shiny!
Did you see the comet in the sky!
Yes, I had to go back and look again. Wow! Beautiful shot of Elsa sitting on the rock with the light behind her in the horizon and something shoots through the sky.
I thought it was a plane... thought the video was sped up😳😁😂😂
I was hoping someone else seen that too. Just beautiful!
I appreciate your explanation of why you meditate.
Love the journal commentary on truth! Really beautiful. I enjoy your calming channel.
Yummmm. I love cinnamon apples. Man that breakfast looked super good.
The playing music and singing up on the rock wall is wild.
Truthful conversations are valuable and rare. Stay wild , free and authentic ✨✨🌟🌸💛🌸🌟✨✨
Absolutely ❤️ed hearing the girls singing and playing 😉it was awesome 😘😘😘😘🙂
Absolutely loved this video on many levels. One of your best. Touched me emotionally on your talk about this crazy world at present and how polarized it is currently, mixed in with loving the outdoors and nature. Thank you for sharing such an intimate part of your lives.
Good for you Barron you'll find what you're looking for, all in good time. Good luck on your journey and adventure. Peace to you both.
Beautiful mindfulness. I agree that it takes lots of discipline to be present in your thoughts. Exercise for your soul.
I am heartened by the values I hear you and Elsa express in your videos. I am a 70 year old man who spent 40 years in public education. I look at the hate and divisiveness in our country and around the world and I think all those values I spent a lifetime trying to instill in the younger generations has failed. Then I see how you are living your lives and expressing a lifestyle in harmony with the world and I am hopeful. I see the same idealism in my grandchildren and I begin to have hope for the future of mankind. Keep living the life you value, not what others tell you is important.
You guys are living such an amazing life and these experiences you share with us on here makes me feel like maybe the world isn't so small and gray after all. Barron, you're such a badass. From climbing rocks to reading us your journals, Elsa is incredibly lucky to have you. Although, Elsa, you're pretty badass too. Kamp is the cutest little pup and I just want to pet him forever. Edited to add that I relish the peacefulness your videos give me (even for just 20 or so minutes at a time). Your video-editing style is one of a kind.
I watch you guys everyday to calm myself down and get out of the real world. 💜thank you.
So much fun to watch you both. I wish you both nothing but all the best LIFE CAN OFFER.
What a Blessing, life is good.👍🐾🐾♥️
3 Words: Epic, Legendary, Poignant. That's what this VLOG was. Really enjoyed hearing Barron's deep thoughts. Would love to hear more of those. When he was describing leaving this gorgeous spot, I was missing it already. And, it made me contemplate what it must be like when you two make a place your home for anywhere from a week to a month and then leave. The emotions. Great Stuff. GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH!!!
I truly appreciate being able to hear your journal entry. I've been journaling for the past 15 years and I'm always captivated (and sometimes shocked) by my past innermost thoughts and opinions. It amazes me how much I've changed.
Can't stress enough, how rewarding it is to watch your videos! How soothing and peaceful it is to be able to have a moment of much needed peace and tranquility through vicariously living in your world, however briefly. I live in Texas on the Gulf coast, and this last week has been one of the worst I have ever lived through, and I have been through hurricanes IKE IN 2008, and Harvey more recently. That being said, I have to thank you for allowing my transcendence away from this place, and into one of solace. Peace be with you!
Thank you so very much!!! I needed this, I have had neurosurgeons tell me that I can get fixed, I'm a lil skeptical. And that won't fix the RA. I so very much miss my whitewater kayaking, hiking, breaking horses and a tiny bit of rock climbing, oh so much more. So thank you for sharing your joy. Please keep bringing us on your adventures.
Normally your videos are so relaxing for me, but my anxiety was HIGH watching you and Barron climb. Still a great video. Thanks for creating something enjoyable to watch and giving me something to ponder on a rainy day (like today!).
Baron that was a great journal entry 😊👍
Enjoyed learning about your practices and bearing witness to your thoughts, Barron. Nice video.
You have no idea how happy I am about Barron saying he smokes a pipe! I was starting to think it was really odd that no one smokes! I know pipes and ciggs are different but I was starting to think my husband is going to be the only one out there who publicly smokes! Love that you keep it real!💯%❤Much Love❤🐾🐾 My hubby and I will take challenge of NO INTERNET for 24 hours!
Hey guys, if you made a movie I’d stand in line and pay to see it! Great work as always.
"One less sprinter"! 😆 I so understand this, especially this year.
What does that mean about the sprinter? Thank you and sorry for asking 🤷🏻♀️
@@bballmomma5900 There's so much to dissect, but simply put: Increasing fad in the van life world to get one, spend way too much to deck it out, and crowd National Parks and Forests and public land. There's growing animosity with them as it's seen by outdoor purists and minimalists as a bouschey trend. That's my scaled-down take. There's more layers and nuance to it though. Hope that helps?
@@seancohen81 Thank you, yes it helps.
I rolled my eyes at that. The sticker seems divisive. Eg: I am judging you in your Sprinter because my way of enjoying the outdoors is the right way therefore I can make fun at your expense, put you down, virtue signal, etc. with this sticker in my vehicle.
Why can’t people just respect how others camp and enjoy the outdoors their way. We are not all the same and we do not all have the same reasons and ways we enjoy outdoors.
Trying to look at it maybe on a brighter, more open minded side... I thought, maybe it means one less person sprinting through life , they slow down and enjoy the outdoors. 🤷♀️ I would find a better sticker for that sentiment though. 😆
Just like Barron and Elsa... I adore the Revel! Maybe someday one for all of us! 🍀
@@SB4E.2They are the ones who put edited that into their video though. Maybe they don't feel the same way that you choose to view how they feel? 🤔 Also, the sticker was placed on a van and the background of their creation was intentionally meant to poke a little fun at the Sprinter-owning crowd. A sense of humor, even while appreciating the landscape you are traveling through, goes a long way.
Hearing the journal entry was the highlight of the video for me. I like hearing other people’s thoughts, when they’re willing to share. (Thoughts, not shouted rhetoric.)
Thanks for sharing your journaling. It was beautiful and I enjoyed listening to you read... I find it’s always interesting when I read back what I have written. It’s almost meditative.
Gosh I enjoy tour videos so much! Thank you for sharing
Loved the breakfast concoction you put together. It looked great! And...you made climbing look like most anyone could do it! Naturals!
Thank you Barron 🙏
Hello from Olathe!!!
I am 54 years young. I have kept a journal since my mom gave me my first "diary" with ballerinas on it in the 4th grade for my birthday. I am a complete introvert.
Writing shit down helps my mind. Writing down thoughts, views, memories, events, schedules, lists, really... anything. My journals nowadays, for the the last 30 years, have lots of sketches and paintings in them as well as words. I have kept them all. The nice ones and the ugly ones. I had a great Art teacher in highschool who made us keep an art/journal for the class. BEST THING EVER!!! I realized then my journals were a gift to myself as well as any one in my future after I'm gone.
I now keep a journal for my son. Not a baby book, but a journal, All though it has some photos in it. I write as if if I'm talking to him about his day,or about his future. I write things down he has said to me or his dad. Things he has chosen to share with me. I also write my thoughts about him. I will give him this gift when he leaves home. He is 15 now.
Wishing the both of you a Happy,healthy and safe Holidays.
Yall dont even understand the influence you have on us stuck in the hole dug by others, and ourselves.. Someday ill live the way you do. Someday.. Thank you for helping me SEE this world i want. You both help my perspective...
Elsa’s dancing shadow while rock climbing is a mood.
Watching the journal reading...Barron...you are deep! Thanks for sharing.
This was an awesome post today, it touched me your candidness, from both of you. We lose sight of things when we let the present world situation take over.
I 💖 the shot of Elsa dancing. I dance in my yard!! I’m sure my neighbors think I’m nuts. 🤷🏻♀️
Let'em think your nuts. Its ok. Dance dance dance!
I love my dog so much and I love seeing how we Scamp is being cared for. I live through you and Elsa's journeys. Our world is spinning out of control you kids are in a good spot for this...
Very peaceful. Thank you
I saw the pictographs/petroglyphs in a quick flash on the video where you all were rock climbing........I am grateful you are mindful that these sites are VERY old and need to be protected. There is a lot of needless vandalism and some unfortunate damage by folks climbing the cliffs/boulders etc. Know that you are walking where ancient ones did up to 15,000+ years ago. Great videos. Stay safe and well.
Elsa inspired me to do a journal and although it was hard to follow through for an entire year...I did it! Now I have to decide what kind of journal I want to do for next year. I found myself shifting more towards "brain dump" or gratitude rather than tracking things. I do hope my journal entries have less to do with friggin' Covid/Election b.s. in 2021. Your closing thoughts in the video are wonderful!
Beautiful souls. These 3 bring such joy to the world. Thank you.😊
That oatmeal concoction was NEXT LEVEL YUM! And, your explanation of meditation/mindfulness was amazing. I just finished 8-week MBSR class and I want to get to where you are sensei. Ok...now Barron's gone to the most amazing view to meditate and journal. This is my kinda vid...part living vicariously through you and part inspiring action. Last edit of my own comment...I will say it...this is maybe my favorite video ever. Simple, loving, living, deep. I'm just 3.5 years from getting out there myself and trying to find moments of it here and there in the meantime. Best to you three.
LOVE ya'lls videos! Super excited to see others' journeys as they get back to earth time!
I get so sad when the video ends ! Thanks for sharing
I think a pipe really suits Barron, romantically contemplative, yet calmly wistful and thought provoking at the same time, serene yet boldly rebellious in the best way possible
Like a modern day Thoreau!
I like all your episodes, but this one I really liked. It spoke to me on another level. Thank you!
Nice video. Awesome words, Barron. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm and safe. Happy Yule
I must handed to you guys. I’m amazed at how resilient you both are in allowing and living in nature and a tiny abode. U r the children of god and the messengers of hope for mankind ❤️❤️👍👍😇😇🥂🥂🎈🎈🙏🙏🕊🕊🎁🎁🌹🌹🌞🌞🍀🍀
I love when Barron gives his outlook on everything that goes on in his head on a daily basis! Super methodical thinking yet extremely understandable.
Big love brother! Thank u for sharing and for forwarding me the strength or perhaps clarity to unveil those thoughts for myself.
Meditation changed my life..I now go around to beautiful spaces and meditate. What a gift. I enjoyed the Pod Cast yesterday.. Im on my way back to the second one you posted. Baron.. Thank you. The wisdom you shared.. is amazing. Peace and Safe Travels friends..
