Much love to you all!
30 years ago, when i was 29: i bought my 20 acres. It’s a beautiful thing to build a relationship with a piece of land. Congratulations and enjoy the most amazing, hard and wonderful thing you will ever do!
That is awesome! So inspiring!
If you could bottle the feeling I get when I watch your videos we could have world peace 😊❤
For sure on your assessment of Linnea 's great vids and heart felt words
Oh my gosh that's so nice - thank you!
Tearly Joy and Peace. The longing to be where your place is in the world.
I come to your channel to learn these things.
Blessings to you and yours.
You’re such an amazing person and so is Chris!! I love you guys!!
I lost my sis a year and a half ago and am still grieving her but although I will likely be criticized for this, the worst loss I ever had was Sadie-the-Dog. She was THE dog of my life and I will never stop grieving her loss. It's something you cannot prepare for.
I lost my sister almost six years ago the pain never goes away, when she passed our dog also went to heaven in her arms. Is only fair to grieve our pets too they are part of our families. Stay strong you got this. ❤
I totally understand this. I feel guilty for grieving the loss of my dog more than family members. I can’t explain it. That dog was everything to me. It’s been five years and I still cry and think of him.
I lost my dog the absolute love of my life. I’ve lost parents siblings and a husband to Alzheimer’s but nothing compares to the loss and pain of losing Lilli my tea cup poodle 🐩. She was there when everyone else was gone.💔❤️🩹
No criticism here , I understand exactly when you lose your best companion.💔
Cara, my dog friend, is my soul animal. I can't even imagine life without her. She's my constant companion in life and truly the love of my life. :)
Linenea, I always take a deep breath and sigh when I see your videos pop up. It's because while I know I'm going to enjoy it very much, I also know your gonna give me some feels. I love how you are living your life without boundaries or limitations. You do what you want to do. I was born in an age when you self sacrifice because ... it's what you're supposed to do. So while I regret that I haven't lived the things I wanted, I get to watch you go out and do it. Thank you for sharing your doing and living. I get to experience a little of it through you.
Looking forward to seeing your vision of the raw land, and what's coming. You're an inspiration to many... keep going! You got this!
Tank you so much David! I am looking forward to seeing my vision unfold too... I am ready for it not to go as planned! haha
Love these deep videos when you give us an insight of your life and how you feel not just a road trip. Your an amazing young woman who is living life to the fullist. Keep living the dream ❤
I appreciate that. Thank you!❤️
Ahhh your B roll just keeps getting better and better! So many beautiful scenes in this one 🤍
Thank you! That means a lot coming from you ♥️ that big lens has changed my life haha
Such kind words from one of the greats.. she's definitely come way far from were putting up the ceiling days of her building of Togo lolz 😆 your both my absolute favorites ❤❤❤
You brought back my memory of the day I moved into my tiny house in very rural Maine and just sat at the entrance of my barn overlooking my wooded acreage out in the middle of what felt like nowhere, and I couldn't rid myself of the happiest grin that overtook my face.
Best to you and Akela
Congratulations. Absolutely thrilled for you. We love you & your dog. All is well. Have a peaceful great day🫶🏼
Thank you so much!
My baby dog Cissy Blue was diagnosed with mass cell cancer and given 6 months..I did homeopathy and gave my baby years. Her mass cell hadn’t spread is one reason. But I had a great Vet who helped do alternative treatments. I ache for her forever..
Do you mean mast cell cancer? I have a cat suffering from the same thing. It’s more common in dogs but cats can also have it. My sincere sympathy and prayers for your loss.❤️🙏
Wow that's amazing! I'm so glad you got more time with Cissy Blue!
For anyone who hasn't watched the last video, DO IT! AMAZING VIDEO Linnea!
Thanks so much!
I've always said "We don't own the land, we're just passing through". Leave it better than when we found it. It's a short time to dwell there.
Agree!
Hope your Van Life won't be over, cause it's so nice to watch your peaceful lifestyle. Love your pottery! You're quite the artist!
No end in sight!
I want you to know, you are the entire reason my wife and I are on this lifestyle journey. We are now building out our second rig--a skoolie
Wow that's amazing and so humbling. I'm SO glad to be a little part of your awesome story! Good for you!!
I LOVE living through you and your adventures. What an amazing life you live.
Aw well thank you! I appreciate you being here :)
I totally agree with you, for someone who doesn’t exactly have the opportunity or isn’t able to travel just yet on my own, this is just amazing seeing all the places waiting for me when I can finally get out there
@@EmilyNelson-bz1sz I just love that!! ♥️ I’m excited for you to experience it all one day :)
Thank you for the reminder to live in the moments, as if it maybe your last. !
I wish i had done that better during my late (wife of 30 years ) last day's..she past unexpectedlyvto soon... ,i now appreciate life and people in my life more than ever.
Stay strong and safe. You and your beautiful furry friend are an inspiration.
Linnea you have such a beautiful gift of storytelling, I cannot get enough. Love your honesty and heart that you put into each vid. I so admire your talent and your strength. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. ❤
Thank you so much!
Super excited to have found your channel. I'm a dog trainer (I trained German Shepherd guide dogs for a decade) but also a traveler at heart - we currently travel in my SUV but hoping to get another van soon. Love seeing you and Akela's relationship
Thrust your instincts. Live the dream. Your only young once, life is short.
I needed your videos today. I haven’t visited your site for a while because life has been hard. I forgot that you lift my spirits and make me smile. Thank you for creating this channel.
Some of us can’t go and do so we appreciate what you do
When you are sick with chemotherapy and get to see your video
helps to forget what I have to go through and I get to travel with you thank you
OMG…the snake mug. Want one ❤🐍
Yay! I'm putting the first batch online to sell on June 7, available to my Patrons first. So feel free to hop over there, if you'd like! www.patreon.com/linneaandakela
I hope you got to enjoy the northern lights wherever you were. Can’t wait for you to set up life on those 40 acres. Your ceramics are amazing for a novice. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes I just saw them last night!! Never would I have imagined that I could see the northern lights in Colorado. lt was amazing!
Same! I saw them here in Washington! Right in my front Yard!
@@Linneaandakela tourism to Norway will take a hit 🤣 at least those looking to see the northern lights. I’m in northern arizona but was too lazy to bother. I’m 80yo and there’s critters out there at night I don’t wish to meet up with. I so admire you and your guy doing life your way. 🥰
@@Linneaandakelayou will likely see them again tonight the corona should pass over Colorado Montana region just after Dark
Amazing thank you for letting me know!! I hope the clouds in my area ease up a bit
Thank you so much. In the end, it only comes down to one thing - the love you have given.
As a single woman I built my own off grid house in 1996 when I was 26. It took 2 years cause I was working full time too. It was both the most beautiful dwelling I could ever want to live in and an initiation into the depths of my endurance, creativity and capacity to problem solve. I so look forward to witnessing your homesteading journey. The book 'An Introduction to Permaculture' by Bill Mollison gives an awesome overview of all the aspects to consider when setting up the most energy efficient homesteading/food system. Its also full of simple inspiring pictures for those of us who learn visually
Kudos to you for another beautiful video! Honor that sensitivity! It's a stunning part of life!!! I'm excited to see your incredible learning curve as you approach all of your future projects! Enjoy every moment and thank you for sharing so much of your journey!!! 💚🕉💚
This video, specifically, resonated with me. I love this journey that you’ve undertaken! I’m gonna stay right here with you for the ride. ❤ happy Mother’s Day, it’s beautiful to see how you care for your fur baby. I feel like you are about 15 years ahead of me in terms of the property development, we just bought raw land last year as well but it will take us a little while to get the well and things going. 👏💞
Mellow vlog enjoyed it very much. Wishing and sending you good vibes here and now also for your future. Welcome to your next journey 💜
Thank you!
Such a beautiful, beautiful video. Wishing you, Akela, Chris & Kobuck all the best now and for the future.
Thank you!
I cannot wait to see what you all do with your land!
I would love to learn more about pottery. I remember trying it in an art class in high school and I loved it so much. Not sure why I never pursued it lol Might have to see what I have in my area for classes.
That'd be amazing!
Very exciting! I just found your channel and you are very close to me :-) what attracted me was when you were in Page Arizona and your other video and my van is the water utility van for the city of page for 33 years!
I just got it and I'm building it out I'm so excited.
You also make beautiful pottery. Everything I wish I could have been and done in my younger days, but hey it's never too late right!
Blessings to you young lady
You must be an old soul, you understand what it has taken me years to learn. Being so connected to nature also helps with a deep er understanding of our True Nature. Thanks for your videos they are beautiful.
Thank you!
🦋This is so Awesome I love Arizona I can’t wait to leave to go I shut down my apartment did a build live in after a total hip 🌹replacement,COVID,Surgery on a torn meniscus and back Surgery within a year through all of that the build was done now Iam a full time camper and will be leaving very soon 🦋
😊 cool cups😊
That first cup was wonderful, Beautiful and Amazing since you were try to get glaze colorful.
The immense grief you speak about visited me the very first day when my horse, Tyson, was delivered to the homestead.
The dog, 5 cats, all my chickens and me are all finally moved onto my new 5 acre raw land homestead. Tyson, the love of my life and the WHOLE REASON I bought 5 acres, was struck and killed by a car 10 hours after arriving at his new home.
I am still building my off-grid homestead, completely without my strongest, loveliest, reason and my best friend. I am a broken human, and while life still goes on and Walidog is very much in the forefront now, I still grieve the lost plans of spending my and Tyson's retirement living together on his land.
March 15, 2023. The day part of me died. March 16th I got up went back to the property to begin my journey. It's been Rough. Beautiful. Hard. Exciting. But so far, worth it. ❤
Nice move buying 40 acres of land,Colorado is beautiful just a suggestion is to throw some windows in that container insulate the heck out of it use real tongue and groove planks to make youre dream home a reality.
I was watching an animal nutritionist and they were talking about dogs and people that can’t afford to make their dogs food because as you know with a large dog it gets pricey. They said even if a few times a week you can add organ meat or fish to their food they will live longer and happier lives just doing that, it’s better than just kibble.
Absolutely! Anything is better than nothing. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome home... waiting to see what you do next...
Your Amazon video really did turn out beautifully. Your land will be an adventure of a different kind. I’m so excited to see how you work with nature and the land and your imagination. ✌️❤️🚐
I love Akela and your love for each other
Hey, Linnea, what are you going to name your piece of mother nature? I love you,, Akela, Cris and Kobuk. If I were there, I'd say, "Welcome Home."
I love how inspirational your videos are. You truly bring out the beauty in the world and yourself! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us❤ it's very nice to watch you enjoying your life with your beautiful dogs 🐾 also I love your mugs and would love to purchase one of them. Can you send the link through the comments for the coffee mug? They are so pretty
Hi Linnea Glad to hear you are in no hurry to move out of your cabin on wheels. It was so fun to see the look on your face driving down the dirt road to your property. I remember that feeling well. Enjoy your new place...and above all...have fun!
Awesome video! And just as I commented on another comment somewhere, I love getting to tag along with you and Akela on you adventures! I can’t wait til I can see these beautiful sites and experience everything this world has to offer when I get the chance! Your videos have only brought me more hope and opened up countless inspiring possibilities for what I can do with my life when the time comes! Thank you!!
That was sooo much water you added..I do about a fourth of that
Welcome home Linnea
Your Amazon video was amazing. So happy for you about this 40 acres AND the water you found. Hello to Akela from my dogs.
Thank you so much!
I can’t take the dessert. I need green,water and cool air. Glad you love all of it
Different strokes!
I love your videos.. I especially love your zest for life, your appreciation for even small things, your love for the natural world.
Here’s to new adventures and projects and having a ringside seat to “join” you on all this magic.
Also I absolutely love your pottery! So beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you.
I cant wait to see what u do with raw land . Your a inspiration to so many of us . Me as one . I Love U n wishing the very best Linnea. Safe Travels Always. God Bless Ya'll. And sometimes your dreams do come true . U r very blessed as i am also .Mucho Love Always ❤❤
Thank you so much!
I’m glad you found your land . I wish you peace and joy on your land .😊❤
Congratulations! Having wild land is a blessing. Living in line with nature is rare for so many people, these days. You are a positive inspiration for people. I hope you, & Akela, succeed in whatever you pursue.
Girl, you are going to love it here. It’s amazing.
What an awesome life you have created!!!👠🚌👠
I LOVE the one you didn’t like!!!
If you decide to sell it……..❤
Haha thank you! I'm putting a bunch of mugs for sale to my Patrons on June 7, if you'd like to join. No pressure, as I hope to have them on my public website someday soon too. www.patreon.com/linneaandakela
Can't wait to see what you do to the land.
Your latest video one of the best & most interesting yet. Watched here in the Philippines from my hillside retreat. Missed the Northern Lights. Had to settle for a majestic sunset! 😎🏝💥
Your life is so amazing! Thank you for sharing ❤ Stay safe and enjoy everything 😊
The little snake cup is BEAUTIFUL. I would totally buy one if you sold them--fyi. I'm so blown away by how great your pottery is, and you a novice!
I love how well you feed your sweet dog. That's true love. Grief is the great human burden. It's so hard. I just lost my best friend of 17 years, a little Siberian mix kitty named Arthur. He was the gentlest, most sweet and innocent, loving creature. Nothing and nobody can ever take his place. I cry for him every day. You just learn to live with it and keep the memory of them alive in your heart. I know he's still with me; I just can only hug him in my mind now.
Thank you for all the beautiful scenery! I love the red deserts of the Southwest. They heal my soul. And thanks too for the healthy food inspiration. You rock! Can't wait to see what you do with your land.
Love this. Sounds like you have an amazing future planned out and I wish you all the best fof it.
Thank you!
Love your videos, love your story. Look forward to watching your next adventures, on your property - wow that has a good ring to it - or off. Give Akela an extra hug for me ❤
happy mother’s day to you and Akela!
Excited for you and for this next chapter! ❤
Akela is so beautiful! ❤
Yes, dear you do inspire my own wanderlust.
The world is your oyster my dear mother always said and my pets were to be treated as my best friends. I truly understand your connection with akela. Your property is going to be amazing I already feel it..thank you for always being so honest with your videos that you make with such beauty..
Such a lovely video, Linnea. Amazing. So many things to appreciate. You sound like you're in such a good place. I hear it in your voice and your rhythm. And thanks for sharing about your HSP-ness. It is a superpower! American Grace in Sri Lanka 🏞️🏞️🏞️
Love that you will be doing weekly videos 🎉. It’s really so very calming to watch your videos being in the beautiful scenery. Can’t wait for Chris to arrive & you both get to setting up your property. Blessings in your Day & Joy in your Journey 🙏🏻🤗
Thank you!
Sell me your misfit pottery I love it!! 😂❤ seriously...that last flower mug omg...❤
Aw thank you! I'm having so much fun with it!
@Linneaandakela I'm inspired to maybe try this myself...I have far too many hobbies but what's 1 more...🤣🤷♀️❤️ but for real I'd add these as merch for the channel...😉
@@thescreamer_248😊. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 and rural life - channel!!
Good move nothing like a home base especially out there it is beautiful girl nice
I can’t wait to see what you do with your land. Having watched you for awhile I know you will have plans but they will change. I do agree when you have dealt with intense grief perspective on life is different. ❤
Again, thank you so much for sharing your experience and life. And your thoughts about your journey through your life. Hi from Portland Oregon ☺️
Great video you two, keep Perspective, i have 400 videos and haven't made 200 in total... You're good at this and it will come in time. Keep it up
Aw thank you! Keep at it!!
Linnea take care of your self love videos you are beautiful ❤️
It’s so wonderful to have a place to go home to. I know you we’re trying to be modest without sounding smug but you should of said, A place that is mine…all mine!! When I bought my first house, it took me 6 months to really feel like it was mine. I couldn’t get that familiar grin off my face like you. So much potential in your land❤ Thanks for sharing! Your first mug was the best to me! Great job!
You should check out affordable desert living....Don is an awesome man the first thing he did was make a pond for the birds .........
Loved the Amazon video. You put so much love & care into it. Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm so glad you liked it!
Also, with older dogs (or any senior dog) it is beneficial for them to have WARM water in their food as it helps make it more enticing for them especially if their eye sight is deteriorating, their sense of smell (always potent) starts to become a "reason" if they will eat or not.
Such a beautiful, uplifting video! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and heart as you begin a new chapter! It's always a joy to spend a bit of time with you and Akela. ❣️
So glad you enjoyed!
I'm dying for the music you use in your videos!! Its always so calming and/or its the exact vibes im looking for (ie; the higheay driving scene)❤
Also...i can agree with your assessment of understanding grief and how it works in life. I lost my mom two years ago and the final few months was pretty much what you described. I suppose it does prepare us in a way.
Linnea I have come across a RUclips site called the great Canadian pottery Throwdown thought you might be interested in watching, keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip!
I find since living in a van, I've become more comfortable with change. I thought I was adaptable prior to this, but travelling on the road has taught me a lot. I can relate to many things you mentioned in this vid. I thought becoming a more sensitive person as I get older meant that I was becoming weak, but its definitely not the case. I just appreciate what most take for granted. Also driving long distances. I am in my late 30s and now I am lucky to drive 4hrs in one hit. When I was younger, driving across states in Australia was so easy. Pfft 14 hour drives, pieces of cake. :/
I am so happy for you ! Thanks for this lovely video!! You are a true inspiration to all of us!!
I haven't watched you in quite some time - so glad to see Akela doing well. Much better.
Thank you!
Can’t wait to watch the journey
You’re home!
Thank you ❤
I haven’t been watching your van life too much but I am really excited in your growth on this 40 acres of desert. I can’t wait to see what you do to it and I would love if you shared the cost of things like how much to do the well, how far you had to go down it and how much for the desert land if it’s not too personal, I would love to know.❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how Akela tosses her own ball! BTW - that Amazon video was exquisite!!
Thank you!
I love the narration in your videos. And I like that you want to do things slowly. Enjoy your property. It is awesome.
Another BEAUTIFUL video, Linnea. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm excited for the next chapter! ❤
Thank you!
Love to you and Akela. I need a pair of those baggy white linen looking pants. Looking forward to your endeavors and the possibility of buying a Linnea mug someday❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks for another great video. I am happy you and Akela have each other. You have made a beautiful life together. 🐾💕
Our pleasure!
Good luck on all your future endeavors with your property and future travels. Love looking at your vlogs.
Thanks so much!
Blessings on your journey.. God's got you.
I love watching your videos so much!!! You are my inspiration to do Van Life too I'm saving up now for a van or SUV. I also have a babygirl named Akeyla an I believe she would love it to see new things right along with me.❤️🥰
I sure bet she would!
Thank you for your videos! I enjoy all the content you put out, whatever your adventures. Having land is a sense of security. I will continue to watch. I admire your "taking chances" and stepping outside "the norm" (norm = what others think you should do, or how to live). Take care of you and Akela!!!! Feed your soul!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed this episode and listening to your thoughts about the now, Akela and life. Cheers -
I'm so glad! Thank you!
