Ummmmm Eric. Yea. Like if you didn't know it, coming from a guy that slaves to the grind every day living the American Dream. You are the one going big Not only are you going big, but you have created a way to show the world you are doing it too. If anyone doubts how well your life works for you, they can use Jax as a guage and see how happy that cat is.
There are a lot of people watching your channel that are older folks like myself, who remember the free living times of the sixties and seventies, but who are now parents, and grandparents, with all the assorted responsibilities that have accumulated in our lives. Watching you 'live the dream" is our escape from these responsibilities, at least in our hearts and minds, for a short time, and we do get it, more than you know. Don't worry about the haters, haters gonna hate. You have a good grasp on just what you are doing and why. Go with the flow. For as long as you can, don't get trapped by the materialistic mindset of today's world. No way to totally escape it all beyond turning your back on all modern things and heading for the hills, lol, and that is much harder than people realize. Be safe as you can, and have a blast! Whether you are in a van, a car, or a class C, it doesn't matter. We watch in support of you, whatever direction you go. Here's to another 25K subs and many more adventures! :)
Wow just stumbled onto your site, watched a few vids...Pretty kool. Wish I could talk my wife into RVing...I've lived here on the tippecanoe river, 12 acres in IN for 31 years, wife wants to sell and buy a nicer house and less land. Gonna have her watch some of your vids... maybe change her mind..Good luck on your travels man..../ Welcome to stop by anytime in the north Indiana area! Kevin
I think we are all happy you are doing well and adjusting. But I think you will see that your nomadic lifestyle won't and can't last forever, so enjoy it while you can. If you did get married and had kids it wouldn't be possible, and I don't care what others might say. Eventually you would have to put down roots somewhere. And you know what having a house and paying a mortgage is not such a bad thing, there are pros and cons to each side of the fence. So for the time being enjoy, and keep filming.
You deserve to be happy, with everything you have gone through over the past few months you have earned your peace. Very pleased to see your subscriptions are over the 25,000 mark and climbing. Never change, because who you are and what you do is why you are successful. What I love about your channel is the sense of anticipation; every day you share something new and wonderful. Thanks for that.
A year back I discovered you on you tube. I thouhht you were a sad homeless person. Since then, I have warmed towards your lifestyle. You are cheap/ thrifty but you are good and kind. I am spending Easter Sunday with the flu so I am all caught up. Thank you Eric.
Eric you may be a minimalist in terms of todays possessions but you are a billionaire in spirit and life. How many haters have lots of "Stuff" but empty lives. They don't understand; the world would be a boring and sadder place if we all lived the same sort of life. Stay free friend.
The USA might not always look as it does today,,, the years ahead may be very different,, and how lucky you are to have gotten to experience the last bits of freedom we still have,,, some people will never get to travel to the places you've been,,,we all take so much for granted instead of being thankful that someone has been blessed to share his experiences with us...
Keep being who you are. Some people see what you are doing, and are most likely jealous, that they aren't able to do what you do. I am 65 and i so enjoy your videos, because it is great to see what you are seeing, from the comfort of my computer chair. I am going to try and get an RV of some type, and hit the road. Safe travels
Very happy to see that you have reached 25000 subscribers. That is great! I enjoy your videos, and enjoy seeing them every morning with my coffee. I enjoyed hearing you sing and play the guitar, even if there was wind. I love campfires too. You looked like you need it, looks chilly there. Love the smell and sound of a campfire, it is the most relaxing thing ever.
Eric I would like to see more Boondocking and less Wally World and RV parks. There must be thousands of state and federal forests and other free boondocking locations. A whole different perspective.
Great video and happy for you! Wish I were able to do what you are doing 20 years ago, but will be in 2 years, not sure yet what I will live in, either a truck/camper or small RV and can't wait! Meow (Hi) to Jax! Enjoyed the video! Safe and happy travels! :)
I enjoy your video's. You have a great cat. It is nice that you enjoy what you are doing. It obviously is not for everyone as nothing much would get done; don't we need someone to pick up the trash we leave here or there and build Wal-Mart's? You mentioned life is short; you're right. Then what? I also like RV'ing (30" trailer w/slide-out) and sitting around a bonfire; just don't want to spend eternity around one. Enjoy the fire and reflect on, "Then What"!
Eric you are so ahead of the curve of life some people never arrive ,some do and turn away,some take it but can not see the true beauty of living life not passing through life's gate! I congratulate you!
Small world! I can't keep up with my new subscribers but I just noticed YOU as a new subscriber of mine commenting on another RVer we both follow and enjoy! Lol. Thanks for the sub and thanks for coming along on the journey!
I haven't watched all his vids so I'm not familiar with some of that, although I remember him talking about getting new tires. I think maybe this guy's just misunderstood by some people.
Congrats on the new milestone of reaching 25k subs Eric, if i was 15 years younger i'd have gone you're route living the van life but being married with 4 kids doesn't give me that freedom but maybe later in life when the kids grow up & leave the nest you never know anyway good luck on you're travels pal.
Can't begin to get my head around people telling you what to do/where to go. I enjoy watching your journey. Reminds me of what my dad told me "there's a whole world out there, go and have a look at it" and I did. Travel on, man, it's a joy to watch you do it.
Congrats on 25K! How do you do this in July/August. Just thinking of Jax in the van during the day if you are not there. Maybe just stay in the van with the A/C on during the hottest hours?
Living the dream, man! Keep up the good work. Thank you for taking the time to shoot videos and edit them. It's not an easy task for sure and time consuming. Thank you for sharing your life with those of us who are unable to live the way you do. The places you go and have see have been great ideas for future references. Some of the places I have never heard of and what's awesome is it is easier to decide whether to go not to go with your videos. Stay positive and ignore the trolls. You have a lot of fans who admire and respect you. Mean people suck and they will never stop being ass hats unfortunately. The only way they can feel better about themselves is by bashing someone else. They aren't worth a comment or a whole video to them selves. Looking forward to more videos...Oh before I forget, every time Jax meow's my cat comes running to the computer and stares at the screen..LOL...I have one dog, that sits beside me every time she hears your intro so she can see Jax...Stay safe and keep on rollin!
You have freedom and your choice is to do what your doing,it makes YOU happy so do it . Wish I was doing what your doing. Even at my age I have been looking at class c motor homes cause I think I would be happier doing just what your doing.
It is good to see you so relaxed and happy Eric. You deserve it! You sure have experienced a lot the last few months. It was good to get to meet you. If you make it to Montana look us up. We are camp hosting this summer. You can park there for $15.00 a night.
Glad Jax was able to get out and enjoy nature. I hope you also took him for a walk. What a sweetheart he is. I feel your happiness and a kind of peace in the tone of this video. I'm so glad for you both.Thanks for sharing
I've been to every state in the US except Hawaii. When it came to choosing where to live I picked Washington. Granted there are a lot of neat things to see in this country, but can't a guy go home to see his family without it being a big deal. Have a safe and interesting trip Eric, and congrats on your accomplishments.
Thanks man, those were some inspiring campfire words. Keep living, you're making it easier for the rest of us to see that this lifestyle is doable. Catch you on the road someday.
i watch this video so much i realy love it it's great what you say is so inspirational you are real man thats awesome thanks fore this great video it's super
Eric, That's a real gem of a park you found there in Kentucky! Nice and wooded, quiet, nice showers, laundry AND your campfire! It doesn't get any better than that. Remember the old saying, "life is like a coin, we can spend it anyway we want to...but we can only spend it once."
Eric if you like this life why head back to Washington State? Why not head east to Northern New England like northern Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont via Blue Ridge Parkway? You can always return the northern route and see the rest of this beautiful country of ours. Like you said you only live once so grab that Brass ring as it goes by and don't look back. Best of luck in whatever you decide.
I love this video! It's so great seeing you be able to relax and reflect. If you come through Arizona again, my hubby and I would love to take you to lunch in Downtown Phoenix and show you the huge art murals all over down here. It's getting pretty hot here, but if don't mind a little sweat. We've got a shower. :)
Congrats on 25k subs. It was just yesterday you were at 20k. I have watched you "Static To Nomadic" Documentary by Eric Jacobs many times. Well done...Spot on for 99% of the people in this country.
I'll agree about what you said for the most part but when you said you have everything and you're happy, saddened me because all you have is just material stuff. UNTIL you have you God in your life 24/7 and live with him as your partner, you really don't have everything. The life you speak of that you love so much is only what you think life is and or should be, God lets you see life as you're suppose to, then and only then will you enjoy life and it will be a lot brighter, easier to actually see the life you think you're living in, but will be a lot better, more relaxing and you're needs will be met sometimes before your wants. So, In the name of Jesus I pray he keeps you safe, well and provides you with a safe journey through this life. Amen HI JAX.... {= 0}
Eric. This video brought a big smile to my face. Life IS all about being happy... And you've achieved that. Over the past 3-4 years, I have simplified my life and I am SO much more happy myself...but this isn't about me. I think the people that diss you are envious that they aren't doing what you're doing with your life. .. They can pound sand.. Congrats on your subscriber count . I love Jax
AHHHH Happiness, Contentment. Loving your life. I'm just about there. Everyone should be blessed with the feelings you've expressed here Eric. Trolls and nay sayers are the absolute opposite of you. They will never be happy and truly don't Love their lives as you do. Thanx friend. So happy for you.
Nice video Eric!! As always, I appreciate your efforts and sharing your story with us. Your authenticity and open way of being clearly comes through...very refreshing. Thanks and safe travels brother!
You're 100% right on....Don't listen to what others think you should do....Like you say, life is way too short....The fact that you've turned this into something that people want to follow is just the icing on the cake....Most of the haters are just jealous, miserable people.. :)
Congrats on reaching 25k subscribers. The world has 7 billion people.......sadly most uninformed as to the Nomadic Fanatic. Eric you have a lot of work ahead of you:)
Right on . Those reflections are the best. I love campfires too. Best of luck to the two of you or maybe 3. Your guitar,campfires,beer & Jax. Sounds like a good life to me. Enjoy.
Nice to hear you playing the guitar. Do you have an advertising deal with Jack Daniels? They should be giving you something for all the product placement you are providing, LOL. At least some free product. Keep at it as long as you can brother.
You are right. Enjoy your life while you are young. I did the same thing when I was young. I ended up moving from Arizona to Olympia wa. Had and old 68 chevy van that i built a bed and icebox. Had a great time traveling in my younger days. Peace Eric.
I have to say i agree with them - go big or go home. But i divert the intended meaning to what you put into life, not how big you make it. You, sir, are putting bigger quality into your life, as expressed by this video (and others before it) without the need for a big van. I think they have missed the point of life somewhat severely if they think that having a bigger, more expensive vehicle means a better life than you. They are sitting in their big cushy RVs, with their mocha latte, whilst you are sitting, literally, with a bigger grin on your face than them! Hope they don't realize too late what life really means... Loved the video. Really made me feel like I was a friend sitting with you by the campfire just shooting the breeze...
You are right Eric. Do it now while you are young. I'm glad I did it young. I can't get out like I used to and would have kicked myself if I hadn't done it. Who knows what the future holds. Not everyone who retires is healthy enuf to travel when it comes time. Just do what makes you happy. One of the guys on here made a point. He said why race back to Washington? There is so much more to see and discover out there. I agree with him. Just think about it.
Good for you bud!, I think you wanted something from life and you went after it! How is that any different than someone who goes to collage to be an atty! Or a Dr. As long as you are happy and have what you want then as far as im concerned they are doing it wrong! Be safe out there and I will keep watching . Bobbyzzz
This was such an enjoyable video! Love all the different angle shots! Reflections at times when we are quiet really bring out our core thoughts. You have grown much from your travels. Keep being You Eric,.......
Old Indian says White man build big fire stand way back, Indian build small fire stand close. lot less wood cutting the Indian way. Happy Trails too you. errol
I just very recently subscribed to your channel. You seem to be a down to earth guy. Watching your videos from home thinking man what a life this guy has.. to be free like the wind....I envy you friend and may you stay safe and make more awesome videos. .
Eric, what happened with your voice/jingle work you were doing? Are you still doing it? How do you get that kind of work? So glad you are happy with your life and travels!
Eric, Do what makes you happy! That is what you should do! You have the freedom to go anywhere and do anything! You only live once so go forth and enjoy!
Congratulations! But what a turnaround, two weeks ago I was wearing hat and coat whilst you were in the sunshine, today you are trying to keep warm by the camp fire and I'm on the beach in sunny Cornwall!
Eric, put a hinge on the panel side door were your nascar sign is and put your tools in there on hangers. Also at auto parts store buy a external 12 volt fuel pump and a toggle switch and mound and hook up to pump fuel into your generator. I know you can figure out how to do this. Love your channel keep it going and I will watch
I would love to do that but my problem is you still have to have a chunk of change set aside to do it,I plan on going on bicycle tour cross country next spring
It is not possible for every one to live your lifestyle,you can only live it because people watch your channel and you get paid by google,you get paid $3000 a month by google for people watching our channel so please do not make it sound so easy.
Russell allen Why? did Eric say somewhere he makes $3k a month. SO? good for him....We all have our niche...He doesn't have 25k subs for nothing. He must be doing something right.
Russell allen Easy? That's the problem here.. nobody gives me any credit for filming, editing, and uploading videos every day. 8 hours a day. 7 days a week. Nobody thinks I earn a living, it's just "donated" to me. You are the reason I'm giving up logical responses to people who won't listen. Where did I make it sound easy? When did I say it was free?
Mark S ? I'm wrapping around the country. Washington is my home where my friends and family are at. I missed Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's only natural to make a stop, get caught up, and plan the next trip... How is that a mistake?
Im a new subscriber and I must say I enjoy your videos, do what ever makes you happy man. congrats
Ummmmm Eric. Yea. Like if you didn't know it, coming from a guy that slaves to the grind every day living the American Dream. You are the one going big
Not only are you going big, but you have created a way to show the world you are doing it too.
If anyone doubts how well your life works for you, they can use Jax as a guage and see how happy that cat is.
64maxpower Right! One happy content cat. :)
64maxpower
I 2nd that...
"Why wait 'til I'm sixty five." I asked myself the same question a month ago. So I've made an important change.
Rolling Tin Fist Awesome.
Congratulations on 25,000 subscribers and living your life your way.
You're kind of a big deal now. People know you. Congrats!
There are a lot of people watching your channel that are older folks like myself, who remember the free living times of the sixties and seventies, but who are now parents, and grandparents, with all the assorted responsibilities that have accumulated in our lives. Watching you 'live the dream" is our escape from these responsibilities, at least in our hearts and minds, for a short time, and we do get it, more than you know.
Don't worry about the haters, haters gonna hate. You have a good grasp on just what you are doing and why. Go with the flow. For as long as you can, don't get trapped by the materialistic mindset of today's world. No way to totally escape it all beyond turning your back on all modern things and heading for the hills, lol, and that is much harder than people realize.
Be safe as you can, and have a blast! Whether you are in a van, a car, or a class C, it doesn't matter. We watch in support of you, whatever direction you go. Here's to another 25K subs and many more adventures! :)
Wow just stumbled onto your site, watched a few vids...Pretty kool. Wish I could talk my wife into RVing...I've lived here on the tippecanoe river, 12 acres in IN for 31 years, wife wants to sell and buy a nicer house and less land.

John Fiskin I will sure enjoy it. Thanks.
Nomadic Fanatic I'm thinking AN AUDITION ON AGT
You deserve to be happy, with everything you have gone through over the past few months you have earned your peace. Very pleased to see your subscriptions are over the 25,000 mark and climbing.

Eric you may be a minimalist in terms of todays possessions but you are a billionaire in spirit and life. How many haters have lots of "Stuff" but empty lives.
They don't understand; the world would be a boring and sadder place if we all lived the same sort of life.
Stay free friend.
The USA might not always look as it does today,,, the years ahead may be very different,, and how lucky you are to have gotten to experience the last bits of freedom we still have,,, some people will never get to travel to the places you've been,,,we all take so much for granted instead of being thankful that someone has been blessed to share his experiences with us...

Oh, one more thing... If you want to see some really spectacular scenery, come through Utah ;)
Gypsy Free I'll be there soon. :)
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes.
***** yes, even in Nevada.
***** I don't understand why people act and talk like you. Just don't understand it. Just glad I'm not like you. Sad for sure.
Gypsy Free Stock up on beer. Worst state I ever traveled in. Too conservative and too many dry counties!!
Great video Eric. Congratulations on 25000 subscribers. You understand your life and are right where you want to be. Carry on my wayward son.
Loving your vids bro !
Very happy to see that you have reached 25000 subscribers. That is great! I enjoy your videos, and enjoy seeing them every morning with my coffee. I enjoyed hearing you sing and play the guitar, even if there was wind. I love campfires too. You looked like you need it, looks chilly there. Love the smell and sound of a campfire, it is the most relaxing thing ever.
You should always do what makes you happy don't listen to anyone who has negative opinions
Eric I would like to see more Boondocking and less Wally World and RV parks.
There must be thousands of state and federal forests and other free boondocking locations. A whole different perspective.
Great video and happy for you! Wish I were able to do what you are doing 20 years ago, but will be in 2 years, not sure yet what I will live in, either a truck/camper or small RV and can't wait! Meow (Hi) to Jax! Enjoyed the video! Safe and happy travels! :)

Janet Clement Agree! As Tim Ferriss said: ""Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you".
Good video. Yes, do not wait until 65 to enjoy your life.
Exactly.
What are you talking about?
Ah... we all make mistakes. :)
So that old couple bought his old RV and just abandoned it?
I haven't watched all his vids so I'm not familiar with some of that, although I remember him talking about getting new tires.
I think maybe this guy's just misunderstood by some people.
Oh I forgot congratulations on 25 thousand subscribers I just reach 21 and I'm not talking thousands just 21 but I'm still proud
Congrats on the new milestone of reaching 25k subs Eric, if i was 15 years younger i'd have gone you're route living the van life but being married with 4 kids doesn't give me that freedom but maybe later in life when the kids grow up & leave the nest you never know anyway good luck on you're travels pal.

Have a safe and interesting trip Eric, and congrats on your accomplishments.

Thanks man, those were some inspiring campfire words. Keep living, you're making it easier for the rest of us to see that this lifestyle is doable. Catch you on the road someday.
HOW COOL IS THAT??? CONGRATULATIONS DUDE. YOUR SPOT ON WITH THIS VIDEO. KEEP THIS GOING AS LONG AS YOU CAN....
Ever since you got the van I keep thinking of that SNL skit with Chris Farley
Lou Guarini Yup, I made reference to it in tomorrow's video.. :)
Lol cool
Easy Rider! You and Pipi Peterson should get together...she loves the motor home life too!
i watch this video so much i realy love it it's great what you say is so inspirational you are real man thats awesome thanks fore this great video it's super
One awsome video after another...
Go eric go, you rock bud
Right on.
Great video thanks, ...and Happy Easter Buddy =D
Being thankful and having roadside assistance makes me happy!! And of course, sharing a campfire with Eric and Jax!!
nice guitar playing.
safe travels to you and JAX
Eric, That's a real gem of a park you found there in Kentucky! Nice and wooded, quiet, nice showers, laundry AND your campfire! It doesn't get any better than that. Remember the old saying, "life is like a coin, we can spend it anyway we want to...but we can only spend it once."
+Old Buzzard yes, it was one to remember. So nice there.
Eric if you like this life why head back to Washington State? Why not head east to Northern New England like northern Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont via Blue Ridge Parkway? You can always return the northern route and see the rest of this beautiful country of ours. Like you said you only live once so grab that Brass ring as it goes by and don't look back. Best of luck in whatever you decide.
allygerry1 I miss my family and friends. Must at least check in with them real quick. :)
Nomadic Fanatic Welcome Home, when you get here.
Nomadic Fanatic Doesn't have to be all one, or the other, does it?
You're getting too big. Like a Fat Bike tire. I like to support the little guys on youtube. That wasn't a short joke....
Fat Bike Freak I agree. Let's reset the channel for a 3rd time and start over. :)
Eric you're doing great, people just jealous and they just don't dare to do it. And I like your video, your cat is cool. Just be happy k.
Jealousy is a common thread on RUclips.
I love this video! It's so great seeing you be able to relax and reflect. If you come through Arizona again, my hubby and I would love to take you to lunch in Downtown Phoenix and show you the huge art murals all over down here. It's getting pretty hot here, but if don't mind a little sweat. We've got a shower. :)
Congrats on 25k subs. It was just yesterday you were at 20k. I have watched you "Static To Nomadic" Documentary by Eric Jacobs many times. Well done...Spot on for 99% of the people in this country.

Hey, I've been kind of curious; what do you do to keep yourself afloat financially while you're on the road?
butlerdawgs78 Last 6 months, RUclips pay has really been supporting my life as long as I make videos.
Well said, your words are inspiring.
AHHHH Happiness, Contentment. Loving your life. I'm just about there. Everyone should be blessed with the feelings you've expressed here Eric. Trolls and nay sayers are the absolute opposite of you. They will never be happy and truly don't Love their lives as you do. Thanx friend. So happy for you.

Congrats on reaching 25k subscribers. The world has 7 billion people.......sadly most uninformed as to the Nomadic Fanatic. Eric you have a lot of work ahead of you:)
Right on . Those reflections are the best. I love campfires too. Best of luck to the two of you or maybe 3. Your guitar,campfires,beer & Jax. Sounds like a good life to me. Enjoy.
Nice to hear you playing the guitar. Do you have an advertising deal with Jack Daniels? They should be giving you something for all the product placement you are providing, LOL. At least some free product. Keep at it as long as you can brother.
You are right. Enjoy your life while you are young. I did the same thing when I was young. I ended up moving from Arizona to Olympia wa. Had and old 68 chevy van that i built a bed and icebox. Had a great time traveling in my younger days. Peace Eric.
I have to say i agree with them - go big or go home. But i divert the intended meaning to what you put into life, not how big you make it. You, sir, are putting bigger quality into your life, as expressed by this video (and others before it) without the need for a big van. I think they have missed the point of life somewhat severely if they think that having a bigger, more expensive vehicle means a better life than you. They are sitting in their big cushy RVs, with their mocha latte, whilst you are sitting, literally, with a bigger grin on your face than them! Hope they don't realize too late what life really means...
Loved the video. Really made me feel like I was a friend sitting with you by the campfire just shooting the breeze...
You are right Eric. Do it now while you are young. I'm glad I did it young. I can't get out like I used to and would have kicked myself if I hadn't done it. Who knows what the future holds. Not everyone who retires is healthy enuf to travel when it comes time. Just do what makes you happy. One of the guys on here made a point. He said why race back to Washington? There is so much more to see and discover out there. I agree with him. Just think about it.

Great video Eric! Simple but fun to watch. Please hit us with a campfire video more often.
yobobyobob I can do that!
Good for you bud!, I think you wanted something from life and you went after it! How is that any different than someone who goes to collage to be an atty! Or a Dr. As long as you are happy and have what you want then as far as im concerned they are doing it wrong! Be safe out there and I will keep watching .
Bobbyzzz
This was such an enjoyable video! Love all the different angle shots! Reflections at times when we are quiet really bring out our core thoughts. You have grown much from your travels. Keep being You Eric,.......
Old Indian says White man build big fire stand way back, Indian build small fire stand close. lot less wood cutting the Indian way. Happy Trails too you.

I just very recently subscribed to your channel. You seem to be a down to earth guy. Watching your videos from home thinking man what a life this guy has.. to be free like the wind....I envy you friend and may you stay safe and make more awesome videos.
.
Eric, what happened with your voice/jingle work you were doing? Are you still doing it? How do you get that kind of work? So glad you are happy with your life and travels!
Nomadic Van-atic!
That really looks like fun.
May the Lord Jesus ride with you.
Congratulations on 25k subs!! I'd be willing to bet jax could eat a whole squirrel in 1 sitting lol! :)
sorry, not a fan of that bacon smoke smell..lol
You're an inspiration. I'm glad you had the courage to live the life you want. Happiness is contagious.
65 some people don't make it that long being happy is what's important do what makes you happy. Don't listen to any of the haters.
"Going big," to me, means just BEING with good people.
Shaunnanigans Well said. Could not agree more! - Kevin
Good for you man! It's rare to get to a place where you feel like you're living life exactly how you want to. Keep it up!
GO ERIC!!!! that's the spirit :)
Eric,
Do what makes you happy! That is what you should do! You have the freedom to go anywhere and do anything! You only live once so go forth and enjoy!
Congratulations! But what a turnaround, two weeks ago I was wearing hat and coat whilst you were in the sunshine, today you are trying to keep warm by the camp fire and I'm on the beach in sunny Cornwall!
Awesome Vid Eric. If you get a chance and you like gaming check out mine. Just starting out but I'm working on it.
Glad to hear that your're a happy camper!
Eric, put a hinge on the panel side door were your nascar sign is and put your tools in there on hangers. Also at auto parts store buy a external 12 volt fuel pump and a toggle switch and mound and hook up to pump fuel into your generator. I know you can figure out how to do this. Love your channel keep it going and I will watch
Chuck Drew both are genius ideas. thx.
Stay safe and enjoy
Show box is awesome droped Netflix after downloading show box
LOL I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to your right tennis shoe to turn it pink?
He supports the fights against breast cancer
Probably had a scuffle with the pink panther and gave the big cat a swift kick in the you know what.
Sher Thom
nail polish...
Sher Thom cleaning out the toilet..got his foot stuck in the commode.
I would love to do that but my problem is you still have to have a chunk of change set aside to do it,I plan on going on bicycle tour cross country next spring
Yes, life is ever changing. For this moment, you are doing well. Enjoy, and thank you for sharing it with us.
It is not possible for every one to live your lifestyle,you can only live it because people watch your channel and you get paid by google,you get paid $3000 a month by google for people watching our channel so please do not make it sound so easy.
Russell allen
Why? did Eric say somewhere he makes $3k a month. SO? good for him....We all have our niche...He doesn't have 25k subs for nothing. He must be doing something right.
Russell allen Easy? That's the problem here.. nobody gives me any credit for filming, editing, and uploading videos every day. 8 hours a day. 7 days a week. Nobody thinks I earn a living, it's just "donated" to me. You are the reason I'm giving up logical responses to people who won't listen. Where did I make it sound easy? When did I say it was free?
Fine sipping whiskey in that cup?
One question we should always ask ourselves is....If the world ended tomorrow,would you die without regret?
We come into this world alone and then leave the world alone. All the friends and family are just bonuses through this journey called life.
I love how peaceful you are, makes me happy too....enjoying coming along with you on this journey.
Agreed... If you're heading back to WA then you're making a HUGE mistake...
Mark S ? I'm wrapping around the country. Washington is my home where my friends and family are at. I missed Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's only natural to make a stop, get caught up, and plan the next trip... How is that a mistake?
Nomadic Fanatic
Didn't realize it was a pit-stop... Thought you were calling it a wrap...
Thanks for the videos. Watched about 20 since yesterday evening. You are an inspiration.
Come on up to New England! especially boston area! If you need a spot yo boondock, i got u covered
Live your life screw everybody else. Thumbs up on the videos Eric and Jax.
Best vid. yet -well said- Enjoy every day and the changes to come! Happy for you,
AMEN! to all that you said.
Thanks for the gift Eric,Showbox. You rock!
