@@DrDevilish1 What a cool movie reference. I remember watching that numerous times when it was in the theater. I use that in teaching how advertisers utilize subversive messaging and product placement. Awesome film!
Rob if you ever decide to come north to New Brunswick I own 50 acres of land and I’d be more than happy to allow you access and use of whatever wood or lumber you need to accommodate a cabin on my property , this is a serious offer so keep that in mind my friend. Best regards-Lloyd.
Not easy to remain anonymous eh? I'm a fellow army veteran and reside in oneida county ny and wish I could help you, but I respect your privacy. And I understand your reluctance to begin new acquaintances. Your demeanor shows that you are a competent, reasonable person. That must have helped you deal with the property owner and the authorities. Most decent people only have a problem with someone who trashes the place or is using drugs or stealing things and you have been respectful to the land. So now you have a forced incentive to begin the next chapter. Every person in this life deserves to find happiness. Good luck to you Rob.
White street pond and Chittning pond are great primitive camping areas in Oneida county and there are others in NY too. We look for areas for camping that offer free primitive camping, some have limits on how many days, but that just means pack camp and move to another area at the place. If your far away from the dirt road or trails no one bothers you. We fish at White st and Chittning ponds, and occasionally stay when the fishing is good.
Dude, YOU CAN HAVE A FIRE NOW! No worries about being seen. I know you can stay warm without one but a fire does something good for the heart and soul. Maybe cook something good on it.
At least the worst of the weather is over. That shelter served you well for years but it seems like you are on to bigger and better things now. I'll be pulling for you.
Not that shortly I'm from Chicago New York's wrong the same latitude longitude whatever and I've seen it stakehold and snow all wet April and out here in Massachusetts the same thing it's only Mark so it could get nasty for the next couple months though but at least the guys giving them enough time to get past that that's probably why he gave that amount of time cuz he knows you can get slammed on some nasty cold weather in the next you know 2 months still you never know. Told me you got time to get online maybe search for another secluded patch to stay or try to maybe work something out with them I was homeless stayed on it property for a guy that basically he was cool with it he had extra set of eyes keep an eye on his buildings and he came by and actually checked out my situation and how it was all set up and impressed I told him I've been camping my whole life and building shelters and all that kind of stuff boy scouts equals scouts and all that fun stuff and he actually offered me one of the garages the base has electricity and which didn't really matter all that much and Edward burning stove in there and he had lots of firewood cut and he had equipment there that I can cut and burn all of what I want as long as I keep the wood racks full and there was like I don't know how many quarts of wood a lot so I always made sure everything was topped off and all the wind blown big trees that would come down I'd cut them up most of them already seasoned they've been down for a couple years so sitting there cut all up and make sure he had firewood for his places out there when he came out there and worked and then his own house that's where he got the wood from for his he's a giant outdoor wood burning so which is nice I think huge. Told my bill fine somebody who got some property to let you stay out there for doing some side work you don't know
Come spring I'd go on the hunt for a dugout style house that can only be accessed via a somewhat hidden path. below ground would probably be your best option.
@djomegaminus I think you have very good advice Rob. I have been watching a ton of videos lately about "dug out" shelters. Some of these dug outs look fantastic. Heck, I just watched one today where the man who built it added a extra room. Incredible!! A person with an imagination can make a really serious dwelling in the side of a hill. Warm and with a fire place as well, a dug out could be just the set up for Rob. Good idea my friend!!
@@tefinnegan5239 where is it even remotely implied that he occupy something someone else built? There's a sh1tload of videos here on youtube of people digging their own dugout style dwellings. Seriously though, where do you pull this out of?
Here in Arizona we have to move camp every 14 days...but ever since CV the forest Ranger's don't really bother anyone. It takes two days to move camp "a lot of work I know" you got this!
@@tyleroneill2636 yes, oh got it...wonder if there's any BML land around him? Hopefully RUclips will be paying him something soon so he can get a real place and just do this for fun and not for necessity. Thanks
@@tomcatt998 Maybe I’ll make a video of all the places I’ve lived sometime. I haven’t been here 4 straight years. Winter forced me to stay. This was a base camp.
Rob , in order t deal with negative comments , there is only a few , look at it this way , He/She is having a rough , tough time of it & feels like they have t vent & make everyone else around them miserable too. They then feel better , ppl put others down to make themselves feel superior, but we can c thru' that & they are just miserable , sad , evil sods , laughable really , so just think when someone is Lording it over you , they have 'problems' & pity them , instead of getting angry at them ❤️❤️👍 hope it helps in your life Ps. I am a Grandma xx
4 years in one spot is a long time for a Nomad, no doubt you will land on your feet again brother. Nice of the property owner to let you ride the rest of the winter out where you are. Your next place will be even better. Congrats on the 10K+subs, now you have 1 more.
Hopefully you can find a good place on some public land that allows camping, or deeper into the woods at a different location, no filming near the site, or anything that can be used as a landmark to figure out where you are, sorry they found ya and you have to move, it's crappy, but I'm glad they gave ya some time and were so cool about it, much love brother.
@@lamontallen9435 There are laws where I live which stipulate that if you've used land for 10 or 15 years, without any legal interference with others, then you automatically own the land. It's more complicated, but I can understand the point of view.
Sorry to hear that Rob. I hope you find another Bush craft camp. I always had forts in the woods when I was younger. And dreamed of living like that. I don't think I got it in me anymore, I'm to old. Love your channel here. Wish you the best of luck.
I used to free travel, and stealth camp when I was a lot younger! Loved the heck out of it. Many fond memories. I'm too old now, almost 70. I think it was much easier back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Just found your channel today. I will enjoy your adventures online! Blessings!
@@rickgrimes. Lots of reasons. One was the general mindset of society who believed in the basic goodness of people. Another was that most people respected other people and their property, not leaving trash around or hurting anything. Hard drug use was tiny then compared to now. People weren't so afraid of strangers so instead of calling the police they'd come to speak with you instead, only going further if that was necessary which it usually wasn't. The people of today don't see strangers as potential friends, but have been 'trained' by society to see anybody they don't know as a potential threat or problem instead. Even the Police act this way, preferring to just arrest someone instead of looking for ways to alleviate the situation without doing that. It's simply an easier approach being like that, but in so doing you lose the humanity among humans which has been the cornerstone of society throughout history. People have always been judgemental, but in the past you could overcome that- you can't now because they won't give you the chance to do it. Now people don't care and just want what they perceive to be problems to go away, either on their own or by letting someone else deal with them; people no longer see and understand that we have an obligation to help each other which is the basis of any society. If you have no empathy then don't come to me looking for some when it's your turn to need help unless you show me first that you've learned why empathy matters and that you've embraced it. I've just gone through a year of essentially being homeless, and if it weren't for friends and people who gave me a chance to prove my worth I might be dead for a lack of shelter. I'm finally set up to where I have a stable home again and people I deeply care about around me to help me go through the end years of my life safely and in relative comfort. Old school people, not the kinds of people so common today who don't give a rats @$$ about anyone but themselves and their small group of social cohorts who will abandon them the first moment they become burdensome. Society has changed and not for the better.
True. Im 59 and remember better times. The gov't and system continues to tighten the noose on freedom as time goes on. We are just a number and source of tax money to them.
At least you don't have to go till it's a little warmer. But 4 years, wow, I'm surprised it lasted that long. Please keep us in the loop. Stay warm and safe.
very sorry to hear this. Really too bad that people had to ruin it for you. You definately took care of the land and I didnt see you as being a nusiance or damaging the property with garbage. I hope you can find a new and better place soon.
I'll say it again... Hard times have not come to stay, they have to pass. Hard times don't last, Hard people do!! This too shall pass. STAY STRONG brother!!!
I'm seriously concerned for your well-being. Honestly I've never bought into a RUclipsr's bio more than yours. You seem genuine, honest, and generally a good honest person. A pretty God you either get the funding you need to get set up on a different route, and I really am interested in your journey and outcome. As a consumer it seems selfish, but I really mean that I want the best for you whether I know what happens or not. It is a sacred obligation, to stay alive and to keep your integrity. Whatever path you take to keep that. I implore you to do so. God bless you!
I can tell you, for sure, that I am in good shape. I just got caught and lost my home again, and I’m out here smiling and thanking God! I’ve been doing this my whole life.
your subscribers will increase because now we want to follow you on your new journey. keep your head up, we will be here with you over there sending ya support and encouragement every step of the way. glad your studio on the hill served its purpose and kept you safe and warm during these harsh winter
Please Rob, next time dont tell the community in which city you are, nor the state!!! The U.S. is such big. If anybody is searching for you, they dont have a clue where to do so. Greetings from Germany
You are handling this major blow like true Man Rob. Not allowing hate into your heart. Many People would be Bitter, twisted, and get nasty, esp given you have probably been betrayed by some low life following you here on RUclips. What a sweet spot that was. Time to move on. You are in my prayers that you find somewhere better. Stay Victorious within! Stay *You*. Don't let this world break your Good Spirit ... so many people have material wealth and yet they cannot escape the darkness of their own souls... We create our own hell if we allow ourselves to be overcome by our lower desires.... esp the victim mentality. You are a powerful Individual.
lets face the fact that god forbid he gets hurt on that land somehow. tree falls on him, twisted an ankel etc. he could sue the land owners... even if they could prove beyond shadow of doubt of not knowing him, or that he was ever there. so they can prove 0 ill will towards him. he can sue them.......... yes i would want him off my property. he has no lease, no anything signed to help protect the land owners. better ways to handle this stuff....
@@FastDuDeJiunn I'm a capitalist, and a land owner, and I know the way the laws work... yet *Fuck all that!*... In the situation Rob was going through, I would have pretended I did'nt know he was there! He harmed no one... he needed a place for his tent that was safe... I would never begrudge him that... Fuck the government!
i dont know why people get mad or even involved. i am the one living under a bridge cold and freezing. they come down there taking pictures and act like its a crime being homeless.
I'm sorry man. I hope you can find somewhere that's a little less chance you can get figured out or whatever. That sucks dude. At least the owner wasn't a tool about it and wasn't like "you have til yesterday to get out". Stay strong brother.
Glad the owners didn't try to have you arrested. I've been living nomadic in the woods off the Appalachian trail for a few years and have to move spots every spring to avoid being caught
Theres no arrestable offence here. He would be given a trespass notice and a time to leave. IF he failed to leave then he MAY be arrested. You would have to be douchebag cop of the year to arrest this guy.
Get a job. Earn some money. Buy some property where you can live. Stop whining and being so pathetic. Maybe get a tent and live on the sidewalk in some downtown and shit on the street.
I know/knew a guy named gary kamozi. He's even on youtube. He's lived in the back of a mountain for 40+ years, in a cave, talking to rocks. Doesn't shower, and won't go inside peoples homes because of the electrical signals... 4 years is nothing.
This happened to me recently and my stuff was all removed to the nearest trail. I hope you can move forward and make a new life somewhere else. Go well and thank you for sharing your story..
Yes I had the police take our tent and toss it in garbage fortunately life has changed a lot since then and I no longer am in that position but it was not fun
you will find a good place I'm sure. looking forward to the journey. maybe this time we can do a more stealthy studio.. I've seen some pretty cool half underground ones that are amazing.
Everything happens for a reason! Do the traveling you wanted to do b4 the weather turned bad and find a climate that will be more comfortable than here in NY! I'm just south of Buffalo and I cannot imagine being out in the cold in your set up! Brrrrr. God Bless you my friend!
Just discovered your channel today mate. Was thinking about my days travelling around houseless and stumbled upon your content. Nice to see how others do it. Must admit, It's alot easier in Australia with the weather and endless bush and beaches. It's a shame you don't receive your dues from RUclips, It would be a considerable amount by now. Keep up the good work brother.🦘.
Sorry to learn that man. I don't understand some people... Luckily the owner is kind enough to give you a bit of time. You will find something better soon :)
So sad to hear this 😞 stay safe and good luck finding your new home at least you can start a fresh and build bigger and better :) looking forward to your next update so we know your safe and we’ll mate
You were keeping that section of the property secure and safe and you weren't bothering anyone! Sad that some people are just plain malicious. I'm glad the owners are kind people though. Hopefully you'll have all you'll need for your trip South come spring time. Praying you'll find good trustworthy people who will be traveling down at the same time. I believe in Father God's blessings when we whole heartedly ask, He hears us. And I believe He truly favors you right now, Rob. God bless you and keep you safe from all danger in Jesus magnificent name, amen❣
Glad you're safe Rob & that you can stay a bit longer! Thankful to the owners that they didn't make you leave. 🙏 even though we can't see ahead, it's gonna be ok, believe it ❤All sorts of opportunities are open to you now
All good things hey. At least the weather is getting better now. It amazes me how cruel mankind can be. Never mind Rob more people appreciate you and your journey. Good to hear you. Give your spirits up 👍🙏
Sorry to hear about this. Makes me sad to think that there are people out there who are so damn poor and misersble that they envy a homeless man for his well built shelter and quality RUclips channel and feel the need to bother him 😕
Yep and man has divided it all up. People do own things and this dumb attitude will get someone killed. You can't just squat on others property. If anything happens to them the squatters can and do sue the property owners. Eveict all squaters@RonnieMcNutt666
@@niagarajoe4402 if it wasn't the land owner bothering him, then it was just some asshole. And personally I think that if a person needs to fullfill his most basic physical needs, to drink water, eat, piss, poop or find shelter and safety, he'll do those things in whatever way he can. And to make it your business if he isn't directly hurting anyone when doing so is small minded, mean and immoral, whatever the law may say.
Very sorry for your gettin caught. I hope you can find a better place to live in peace. I been in the same situation. Sll my belongings were thrown in the trash in the middle of the cold Winter. But here I am, surviving. So, if I can do it, you fan do it better. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
I hope someday you can get your own land!! You are only trying to live and not causing any harm to anyone? Stay strong and I hope you find somewhere to live and be prosperous.
I'm going to speak plainly. You were stagnant. Not surprising, given the time of year and your current state of mind. But this, coupled with your newly acquired subscriber base could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. When we fail to dream about our future, our present becomes obsolete and we're left with nothing but the past. Look only ahead. You got this.
We need to get him a house or a flat so he can move on with his life and we can watch him progress and blossom cus I'm sold brother. We as humans.we shud do more for a fellow man. love there neighbour We shuddnt want to see people cold
@@jhtsurvival Not if they didn't know he was there. They could have kept going about their business and not interacted with him, then no one could prove they knew he was there.
Most counties / states have 'right of occupancy' laws. If you use a property for X amount of years without protest or eviction notice from the owner, you can't be ousted from that spot anymore. You will have acquired a 'right to use'.
@@memyself3579 its called Premise Liability "In Massachusetts, a visitor is anyone who is lawfully on someone else’s property. This may include, for example, a guest visiting a friend’s home, a plumber visiting a client, or a customer in a supermarket or shop. Even a trespasser injured on someone’s property may successfully sue the owner if the trespasser can show that the owner willfully, wantonly or recklessly disregarded the trespasser’s safety" I'm in MA... IT may not hold up in the long run but it's possible you could have to get a lawyer...
I don't know if you'd be interested, or if it's been brought up before or if you thought about it. Perhaps some funds could be raised, and you could purchase a van or SUV and expensively, and set it up for a type of Van life. You seem very creative in your ways of survival to have lived the way you have for so long. That could be an option to maintain your freedom, without the chance of being caught and evicted. I'm sorry for your circumstances. This is just an idea that crossed my mind.
Like I've been saying van life is the way to go time to stretch those legs my guy. Hopefully you'll get enough donations to be able to get yourself a decent van all the best to you man
People be lucking' that nothing got shot! Rob, you is cool , Keep us updated on your journey as many of us are in the same boat. Polite and cool first and always. Freedom till the end,
Even though you didn't mean it, I wonder if joking about claiming the land had any bearing on them getting you out of there. I'm sorry you have to leave your cozy spot. I hope in your next place you can enjoy the warmth of a fire to heat your food and warm your bones. I'm very happy the owner was a decent, kind person to let you stay till spring. Take good care. I will be following you on your journey.
Sorry it happened, Rob. I think you are living my future. I've done a bit of illegal camping, been caught sometimes. Most people have been understanding about it but then you have to move on. Everything is temporary. I'm camped, anywhere I live, even when it's a house.
That’s a shame, last year I built a shelter and I got descovered last month, I was not happy, so now on the hunt again and hope you find another spot soon 👍👊
Brother Rob... Good to hear from you.. go find your local library.. get a card find out your county laws... It is a free service.. always know your laws.. stay strong you got this...
One door closes, another opens mate. Hope you get set up somewhere new and better, its a chance to find a better place and set up a better camp, i'll be watching, setting my best wishes. Stay strong mate.
Wishing you all the best, stay warm. Why can’t people just mind their own business ! Looks like you’re just trying to survive anyway you can. The best of luck going forward ! Thanks for sharing your story. Wish I could help. I will look into it. 🙏❤️
Almost four years wow. If you did it once you sure can do it again :) I'd be looking now while your belongings are still there. Once you find a place take a cab if you have to, one trip at a time until you get all your belongings close to your new spot. Save the best of your belongings for the last trip. Then you know the best is safe with you. Would make for easier moving maybe ? Best of luck on your move !
Hey Rob....you ever heard this quote by the late Marilyn Monroe?... it goes " Everything happens for a reason: Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come together. It was just time for you to move on to the next chapter in your life and each time it changes it becomes and new season. You was only out growing this chapter. Its a new Season now ...another level in life is approaching. embrace it Rob and keep planting good deeds. 😁👍
I have. I also live by this “Everything that happens in life, good and bad, is good life experience.” That’s my own I said a long time ago. All means the same, but yeah, can’t keep me down!
Hell brother. It still doesn’t change the plans. You planned on rolling out soon as the weather breaks anyways. It’s good they let you stay home till then. That way you have the time to figure out the trip south. I’d look for a mt bike for the trip. 75 to 100 miles a day and then camp for the night or check out where you are at. Stay safe
Mann I just can't believe how some people suck so much! Feeling for you Rob. Even the owners could have let you stay. I mean what's the big deal. Does this mean you might start your trek to Florida? No matter what keep posting because you have a following now that will continue to grow and we care about you now. Be safe guy. Keep on keeping on. I'll be donating! I hope all the 10k subscribers also donate even it's just a little because anything and everything helps.
@@RobTheNomad I think Florida is the best idea bro! You'll love it there. I live in NJ so we get the same weather as you do in NY. Many of my friends and family moved to Florida and never looked back. Plus it will make fabulous content for your RUclips channel as well and get a lot more subscribers.
Hey Rob, believe me people are stoked about watching you as you live your life on your journey walking to Florida! It's something many have thought about doing at one time in their lives but it just never happened.

YES Rob, it was the same with a small group, three or four people living on the side of a cliff in Brisbane Queensland Australia. They had quite the set up. They were not bothering anyone even had a garbage pick up as well. But wouldn't you know it someone moved in {#5} uninvited started causing trouble, fights broke out Police called Then the council got involved and in the middle of the night they were all removed and next day their Million dollar views were filled with C E M E N T. Spot gone. Wish you well buddy!
That sucks. Yeah other than people looking for me, I’ve had a few ask to come stay there. Definitely had to say no. I wouldn’t mind company either, but just can’t risk it.
As a former stealth camper I learned its always just a matter of time before you're caught. Too many variables beyond your control and they're always shifting. As long as you understand that and it seems like you do, then you know there's no point in getting mad and looking for someone to blame. The number one thing to realize about human nature is that there's always the few, but enough, people who will spout the socially acceptable reasons for uprooting someone who's causing no harm or damage when we all know the real reason is they can't stand that someone else has the courage to live free when they're slaves. The classic lobsters-at-the-bottom-of-the-trap syndrome.
I agree you tube did ya in but you respected land 👍officers, property owner. Good luck stay stealth and we'll. Looking forward to your next stealth location. Next time have a back up plan and location's.

@@daughterofthemosthigh303 You won't find any BLM land in the northeastern US, it's mostly west of the Mississippi.
@@vangazmicvoyage5077The Midwest & eastern US sucks. Little open land, almost everything privately owned.
Why can't people just leave Rob alone☹️ He's not hurting anyone. Hope you find somewhere new and better to set up home
People are attracted to "celebrityism" unfortunately..
That's what happens when a "nomad" don't "nomad" & gets 2 comfortable in a place...
@@tomcatt998 Maybe I’ll make a video of all the places I’ve lived sometime. I haven’t been here 4 straight years. Winter forced me to stay. This was a base camp.
Rob , in order t deal with negative comments , there is only a few , look at it this way , He/She is having a rough , tough time of it & feels like they have t vent & make everyone else around them miserable too.
They then feel better , ppl put others down to make themselves feel superior, but we can c thru' that & they are just miserable , sad , evil sods , laughable really , so just think when someone is Lording it over you , they have 'problems' & pity them , instead of getting angry at them ❤️❤️👍 hope it helps in your life Ps. I am a Grandma xx
All the best. Wishing you well.
4 years in one spot is a long time for a Nomad, no doubt you will land on your feet again brother. Nice of the property owner to let you ride the rest of the winter out where you are. Your next place will be even better. Congrats on the 10K+subs, now you have 1 more.
Thank you! 4 years going back to that spot. I’ve been all over the place in the last 4 years. And yeah, somehow I got really lucky.
Sorry that they found you. You are Not hurting anyone. Realy praying for You to be blessed and safe. Amen
Hopefully you can find a good place on some public land that allows camping, or deeper into the woods at a different location, no filming near the site, or anything that can be used as a landmark to figure out where you are, sorry they found ya and you have to move, it's crappy, but I'm glad they gave ya some time and were so cool about it, much love brother.
So many people are unhappy with their own lives and can't stand to see anyone else be happy !
@@lamontallen9435 There are laws where I live which stipulate that if you've used land for 10 or 15 years, without any legal interference with others, then you automatically own the land. It's more complicated, but I can understand the point of view.
@@willek1335 well that might have been motivation to get him in trouble so he couldn't possibly gain ownership... ?
@@lamontallen9435 I don't know the exact laws here, I'm not from US, so I can't speak on this specifically.
@@willek1335 wow
Sorry to hear that Rob. I hope you find another Bush craft camp. I always had forts in the woods when I was younger. And dreamed of living like that. I don't think I got it in me anymore, I'm to old. Love your channel here. Wish you the best of luck.
I used to free travel, and stealth camp when I was a lot younger! Loved the heck out of it. Many fond memories. I'm too old now, almost 70. I think it was much easier back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Just found your channel today. I will enjoy your adventures online! Blessings!
I agree it was definitely easier in the 70' 80' and 90' I had the time of my life.
Tthere was a certain trust back then that isn't alive as much anymore, plus more woodsy acreage in general@@rickgrimes.
@@rickgrimes.Because we live in a police state now.
@@rickgrimes. Lots of reasons. One was the general mindset of society who believed in the basic goodness of people. Another was that most people respected other people and their property, not leaving trash around or hurting anything. Hard drug use was tiny then compared to now. People weren't so afraid of strangers so instead of calling the police they'd come to speak with you instead, only going further if that was necessary which it usually wasn't. The people of today don't see strangers as potential friends, but have been 'trained' by society to see anybody they don't know as a potential threat or problem instead. Even the Police act this way, preferring to just arrest someone instead of looking for ways to alleviate the situation without doing that. It's simply an easier approach being like that, but in so doing you lose the humanity among humans which has been the cornerstone of society throughout history. People have always been judgemental, but in the past you could overcome that- you can't now because they won't give you the chance to do it. Now people don't care and just want what they perceive to be problems to go away, either on their own or by letting someone else deal with them; people no longer see and understand that we have an obligation to help each other which is the basis of any society. If you have no empathy then don't come to me looking for some when it's your turn to need help unless you show me first that you've learned why empathy matters and that you've embraced it.
I've just gone through a year of essentially being homeless, and if it weren't for friends and people who gave me a chance to prove my worth I might be dead for a lack of shelter. I'm finally set up to where I have a stable home again and people I deeply care about around me to help me go through the end years of my life safely and in relative comfort. Old school people, not the kinds of people so common today who don't give a rats @$$ about anyone but themselves and their small group of social cohorts who will abandon them the first moment they become burdensome. Society has changed and not for the better.
True. Im 59 and remember better times. The gov't and system continues to tighten the noose on freedom as time goes on. We are just a number and source of tax money to them.
I wonder if there is an owner of property somewhere that would appreciate a caretaker living on his property?
At least you don't have to go till it's a little warmer. But 4 years, wow, I'm surprised it lasted that long. Please keep us in the loop. Stay warm and safe.
very sorry to hear this. Really too bad that people had to ruin it for you. You definately took care of the land and I didnt see you as being a nusiance or damaging the property with garbage. I hope you can find a new and better place soon.
I'm hoping it turns out well, for you mate.
Cheers.
Mick.
I'll say it again... Hard times have not come to stay, they have to pass. Hard times don't last, Hard people do!!
This too shall pass. STAY STRONG brother!!!
A paraphrase of the late great Dr Robert Shuller. RIP. What a great man he was.
Most people have no idea what is really coming to the US soon.
@@SilverLife-oi4ngNo they don't.
I'm seriously concerned for your well-being. Honestly I've never bought into a RUclipsr's bio more than yours. You seem genuine, honest, and generally a good honest person.
A pretty God you either get the funding you need to get set up on a different route, and I really am interested in your journey and outcome. As a consumer it seems selfish, but I really mean that I want the best for you whether I know what happens or not.
It is a sacred obligation, to stay alive and to keep your integrity. Whatever path you take to keep that. I implore you to do so. God bless you!
I can tell you, for sure, that I am in good shape. I just got caught and lost my home again, and I’m out here smiling and thanking God! I’ve been doing this my whole life.
your subscribers will increase because now we want to follow you on your new journey. keep your head up, we will be here with you over there sending ya support and encouragement every step of the way. glad your studio on the hill served its purpose and kept you safe and warm during these harsh winter
Please Rob, next time dont tell the community in which city you are, nor the state!!! The U.S. is such big. If anybody is searching for you, they dont have a clue where to do so. Greetings from Germany
I'm glad all parties were cool about the situation and let you stay til spring .
You are handling this major blow like true Man Rob.
Not allowing hate into your heart.
Many People would be Bitter, twisted, and get nasty, esp given you have probably been betrayed by some low life following you here on RUclips.
What a sweet spot that was.
Time to move on.
You are in my prayers that you find somewhere better.
Stay Victorious within!
Stay *You*.
Don't let this world break your Good Spirit ... so many people have material wealth and yet they cannot escape the darkness of their own souls... We create our own hell if we allow ourselves to be overcome by our lower desires.... esp the victim mentality.
You are a powerful Individual.
Thank you! Took a long time to get here, but it definitely beats being miserable all the time! Learn from it and keep going.
lets face the fact that god forbid he gets hurt on that land somehow. tree falls on him, twisted an ankel etc. he could sue the land owners... even if they could prove beyond shadow of doubt of not knowing him, or that he was ever there. so they can prove 0 ill will towards him. he can sue them..........
yes i would want him off my property. he has no lease, no anything signed to help protect the land owners. better ways to handle this stuff....
@@FastDuDeJiunn I'm a capitalist, and a land owner, and I know the way the laws work... yet *Fuck all that!*... In the situation Rob was going through, I would have pretended I did'nt know he was there!
He harmed no one... he needed a place for his tent that was safe... I would never begrudge him that... Fuck the government!
Yes, prayers for this decent, enduring man.
Sorry to hear this, but glad the owners weren’t assholes about it. I look forward to seeing where you go next.
Well, you've been talking about going on a walk-about. Seems now is a good time to begin the next chapter. Blessing to you.
Oh nooooo ! I hope you can find another place quickly
i dont know why people get mad or even involved. i am the one living under a bridge cold and freezing. they come down there taking pictures and act like its a crime being homeless.
I'm sorry man. I hope you can find somewhere that's a little less chance you can get figured out or whatever. That sucks dude. At least the owner wasn't a tool about it and wasn't like "you have til yesterday to get out". Stay strong brother.
Glad the owners didn't try to have you arrested. I've been living nomadic in the woods off the Appalachian trail for a few years and have to move spots every spring to avoid being caught
Theres no arrestable offence here. He would be given a trespass notice and a time to leave. IF he failed to leave then he MAY be arrested. You would have to be douchebag cop of the year to arrest this guy.
Get a job. Earn some money. Buy some property where you can live. Stop whining and being so pathetic. Maybe get a tent and live on the sidewalk in some downtown and shit on the street.
Americans LOVE "punishing" people for no reason, its fucking terrible, they can find a reason if they want, existing is illegal for some@@OddeyeDL76
Four years is a world record for solo full winter sub zero camping !
I haven’t been out here 4 years straight. On and off. But I have been here all winter!
Guess you've never heard of the Maine hermit...
My thoughts exactly. The Maine hermit’s story is pretty interesting. Inspiration for a character from the video game Firewatch, by the way.
I know/knew a guy named gary kamozi. He's even on youtube. He's lived in the back of a mountain for 40+ years, in a cave, talking to rocks. Doesn't shower, and won't go inside peoples homes because of the electrical signals...
4 years is nothing.
Good luck man, Prayers to you for better things to come to you.
This happened to me recently and my stuff was all removed to the nearest trail.
I hope you can move forward and make a new life somewhere else.
Go well and thank you for sharing your story..
Yes I had the police take our tent and toss it in garbage fortunately life has changed a lot since then and I no longer am in that position but it was not fun
Wow so sorry to hear your spot has been found. At least they were decent enough to let you stay til it warms up.
if i were the owner i would be like no harm just stay. good attitude Rob and goodness will follow you
its a liability. maybe if he was willing to pay for insurance etc. but its the owners land, they can do as they please
Bleeding hearts don't have this level of logic though. @@niagarajoe4402
easy to say what you would do when it's not you, or if you don't have it.
you will find a good place I'm sure. looking forward to the journey. maybe this time we can do a more stealthy studio.. I've seen some pretty cool half underground ones that are amazing.
holy shit grimbo slice/
Just please don't end up on the streets. Worst place to be.Take care,we all want you to stay in touch. Good things come to good people.
Just keep your head up u got this
Everything happens for a reason! Do the traveling you wanted to do b4 the weather turned bad and find a climate that will be more comfortable than here in NY! I'm just south of Buffalo and I cannot imagine being out in the cold in your set up! Brrrrr. God Bless you my friend!
Just discovered your channel today mate. Was thinking about my days travelling around houseless and stumbled upon your content. Nice to see how others do it. Must admit, It's alot easier in Australia with the weather and endless bush and beaches. It's a shame you don't receive your dues from RUclips, It would be a considerable amount by now. Keep up the good work brother.🦘.
Be lucky! Be safe! Be vigilant!! Be happy!!👍
Sorry to learn that man. I don't understand some people... Luckily the owner is kind enough to give you a bit of time. You will find something better soon :)
So sad to hear this 😞 stay safe and good luck finding your new home at least you can start a fresh and build bigger and better :) looking forward to your next update so we know your safe and we’ll mate
People just couldn't leave you alone could they! Heros
One thing i learned year's ago,, if U rent lease or squat,, always keep yer camp small & B ready to roll up & B gone in less than a half hour
You were keeping that section of the property secure and safe and you weren't bothering anyone!
Sad that some people are just plain malicious.
I'm glad the owners are kind people though.
Hopefully you'll have all you'll need for your trip South come spring time.
Praying you'll find good trustworthy people who will be traveling down at the same time.
I believe in Father God's blessings when we whole heartedly ask, He hears us. And I believe He truly favors you right now, Rob. God bless you and keep you safe from all danger in Jesus magnificent name, amen❣
I’m so sorry that people could be so heartless! I’m saying a prayer for you to find a good home for good. This could be a God sent!
Glad you're safe Rob & that you can stay a bit longer! Thankful to the owners that they didn't make you leave. 🙏 even though we can't see ahead, it's gonna be ok, believe it ❤All sorts of opportunities are open to you now
Been watching you for awhile now. I see better things for you in your horizon. God bless brother.
Keep strong! At least they gave you til spring to leave. Much respect
All good things hey. At least the weather is getting better now. It amazes me how cruel mankind can be. Never mind Rob more people appreciate you and your journey. Good to hear you. Give your spirits up 👍🙏
There are some good people, but generally humanity is cruel. Just look at the state of the world, how we treat each other and the planet.
Sorry to hear about this.
Makes me sad to think that there are people out there who are so damn poor and misersble that they envy a homeless man for his well built shelter and quality RUclips channel and feel the need to bother him 😕
if its private property its a liability. you can't live on someone's land without an agreement
@@niagarajoe4402you dont own shit, god made this earth
@@RonnieMcNutt666 hey didn’t you blow your brains out live on fb?! And I own it all…gtf off my land
Yep and man has divided it all up. People do own things and this dumb attitude will get someone killed. You can't just squat on others property. If anything happens to them the squatters can and do sue the property owners. Eveict all squaters@RonnieMcNutt666
@@niagarajoe4402 if it wasn't the land owner bothering him, then it was just some asshole. And personally I think that if a person needs to fullfill his most basic physical needs, to drink water, eat, piss, poop or find shelter and safety, he'll do those things in whatever way he can. And to make it your business if he isn't directly hurting anyone when doing so is small minded, mean and immoral, whatever the law may say.
That was very Gracious of the Owner to give you time... That's what Humanity should be like.
Patience with each other and understanding. 🙏
Very sorry for your gettin caught.
I hope you can find a better place to live in peace.
I been in the same situation.
Sll my belongings were thrown in the trash in the middle of the cold Winter. But here I am, surviving. So, if I can do it, you fan do it better.
Good luck.
Thanks for sharing.
That's awful !
New chapter on your journey bro! Stay strong we are waiting for the build!
That's to bad. I don't understand why people haft to be that way. They should just leave you alone.
Hopefully the future will be brighter and better rob stay safe buddy 🏴👍
I came from the community page you posted in. I am thankful it’s almost spring soon. Stay safe.
I hope someday you can get your own land!! You are only trying to live and not causing any harm to anyone? Stay strong and I hope you find somewhere to live and be prosperous.
I'm going to speak plainly.
You were stagnant. Not surprising, given the time of year and your current state of mind. But this, coupled with your newly acquired subscriber base could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
When we fail to dream about our future, our present becomes obsolete and we're left with nothing but the past.
Look only ahead. You got this.
Everything happens for a reason. RUclips is the only reason I was found. Or Facebook. I’m not worried about it though.
That's basically what I said. Very few posting are seeing it this way. Bigger and better is ahead.
That was a big dog! Love your vids, keep 'um comin'. Thanks Rob The Nomad, are an inspiration to many and quickly becoming a true Nomadic legend.
Happy trails are ahead of you Rob. 🌻
We need to get him a house or a flat so he can move on with his life and we can watch him progress and blossom cus I'm sold brother.
We as humans.we shud do more for a fellow man. love there neighbour
We shuddnt want to see people cold
I agree!
Amen!
I'm heading into the Ouachita and Kiamichi Mountains in Southeastern Oklahoma next month.
You're welcome to come along if you're looking where to go.
Sorry to hear this hun, can't see the problem myself you weren't doing any harm. Good and better things to come, keep up dating take care stay safe xx
I can see the problem if owners found out. Depending on state laws, owners could be liable if something happens.
@@jhtsurvival Not if they didn't know he was there. They could have kept going about their business and not interacted with him, then no one could prove they knew he was there.
Most counties / states have 'right of occupancy' laws. If you use a property for X amount of years without protest or eviction notice from the owner, you can't be ousted from that spot anymore. You will have acquired a 'right to use'.
@@memyself3579 its called Premise Liability "In Massachusetts, a visitor is anyone who is lawfully on someone else’s property. This may include, for example, a guest visiting a friend’s home, a plumber visiting a client, or a customer in a supermarket or shop. Even a trespasser injured on someone’s property may successfully sue the owner if the trespasser can show that the owner willfully, wantonly or recklessly disregarded the trespasser’s safety" I'm in MA... IT may not hold up in the long run but it's possible you could have to get a lawyer...
@@jhtsurvival I know. That's why I worded my comment the way I did.
I'm glade the owner is understanding I hope things will go your way
That's the down side of sharing your story on you tube. Hope you can find a new home that is safe
They even have to take away from the people who have pretty much nothing in this country.
I don't know if you'd be interested, or if it's been brought up before or if you thought about it. Perhaps some funds could be raised, and you could purchase a van or SUV and expensively, and set it up for a type of Van life. You seem very creative in your ways of survival to have lived the way you have for so long.
That could be an option to maintain your freedom, without the chance of being caught and evicted. I'm sorry for your circumstances. This is just an idea that crossed my mind.
And a good idea it is.
I started a GiveSendGo! Givesendgo.com/robthenomad
You can get property at tax sales. Search counties sheriff's sales.I thought of doing that and build a tiny home out of salvage materials.
I might have to check into that. Thanks.
Like I've been saying van life is the way to go time to stretch those legs my guy. Hopefully you'll get enough donations to be able to get yourself a decent van all the best to you man
People be lucking' that nothing got shot! Rob, you is cool , Keep us updated on your journey as many of us are in the same boat. Polite and cool first and always. Freedom till the end,
Better yet, get ahold of the owner and try to rent it for a few dollars a year. You actually make his little hill safer by watching over the place
Even though you didn't mean it, I wonder if joking about claiming the land had any bearing on them getting you out of there. I'm sorry you have to leave your cozy spot. I hope in your next place you can enjoy the warmth of a fire to heat your food and warm your bones. I'm very happy the owner was a decent, kind person to let you stay till spring. Take good care. I will be following you on your journey.
Sorry it happened, Rob. I think you are living my future. I've done a bit of illegal camping, been caught sometimes. Most people have been understanding about it but then you have to move on. Everything is temporary. I'm camped, anywhere I live, even when it's a house.
That’s a shame, last year I built a shelter and I got descovered last month, I was not happy, so now on the hunt again and hope you find another spot soon 👍👊
Come to Southern Ohio you can camp in my woods
Brother Rob... Good to hear from you.. go find your local library.. get a card find out your county laws... It is a free service.. always know your laws.. stay strong you got this...
Four years is pretty damn good to be in one spot, I’d be happy about that at least.
One door closes, another opens mate. Hope you get set up somewhere new and better, its a chance to find a better place and set up a better camp, i'll be watching, setting my best wishes. Stay strong mate.
Wishing you all the best, stay warm. Why can’t people just mind their own business ! Looks like you’re just trying to survive anyway you can. The best of luck going forward ! Thanks for sharing your story. Wish I could help. I will look into it. 🙏❤️
Just keep being you...stay positive. Good luck!
Almost four years wow. If you did it once you sure can do it again :) I'd be looking now while your belongings are still there. Once you find a place take a cab if you have to, one trip at a time until you get all your belongings close to your new spot. Save the best of your belongings for the last trip. Then you know the best is safe with you. Would make for easier moving maybe ? Best of luck on your move !
Hey Rob....you ever heard this quote by the late Marilyn Monroe?... it goes " Everything happens for a reason: Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come together. It was just time for you to move on to the next chapter in your life and each time it changes it becomes and new season. You was only out growing this chapter. Its a new Season now ...another level in life is approaching. embrace it Rob and keep planting good deeds. 😁👍
I have. I also live by this “Everything that happens in life, good and bad, is good life experience.” That’s my own I said a long time ago. All means the same, but yeah, can’t keep me down!
That really sux. It wasn't a house, but it's been your home.
I'll be praying for you man.
Wow! Keep on trucking man!
Hell brother. It still doesn’t change the plans. You planned on rolling out soon as the weather breaks anyways. It’s good they let you stay home till then. That way you have the time to figure out the trip south. I’d look for a mt bike for the trip. 75 to 100 miles a day and then camp for the night or check out where you are at. Stay safe
Mann I just can't believe how some people suck so much! Feeling for you Rob. Even the owners could have let you stay. I mean what's the big deal. Does this mean you might start your trek to Florida? No matter what keep posting because you have a following now that will continue to grow and we care about you now. Be safe guy. Keep on keeping on. I'll be donating! I hope all the 10k subscribers also donate even it's just a little because anything and everything helps.
Thank you! I don’t know what’s going on yet, but no matter what I’ll be posting. And Florida is still the goal, one way or another.

I think Florida is the best idea bro! You'll love it there. I live in NJ so we get the same weather as you do in NY. Many of my friends and family moved to Florida and never looked back. Plus it will make fabulous content for your RUclips channel as well and get a lot more subscribers.
Hey Rob, believe me people are stoked about watching you as you live your life on your journey walking to Florida! It's something many have thought about doing at one time in their lives but it just never happened. Many of us will be able to live and learn through your journey and believe me there are many who will tune in! Keep safe bro we are all pulling for you and praying. Donation coming on Wednesday. What's the best way for me to send it?

Glad you're safe. 👻
Left handed going by tracks♥️🏴👍🙏thank you
On to bigger and better things. Expect that good things will happen for you!!! Time to have your own piece of land that no one can make you leave🙆♂️
You have to pay taxes on that land so it's not really yours. They can still come and take it from you if you don't keep paying.
I so wish the owner let you stay there. I hope you find another really great place.

Wishing you the best of luck finding a new location. Be well !
YES Rob, it was the same with a small group, three or four people living on the side of a cliff in Brisbane Queensland Australia. They had quite the set up. They were not bothering anyone even had a garbage pick up as well. But wouldn't you know it someone moved in {#5} uninvited started causing trouble, fights broke out Police called Then the council got involved and in the middle of the night they were all removed and next day their Million dollar views were filled with C E M E N T. Spot gone. Wish you well buddy!
That sucks. Yeah other than people looking for me, I’ve had a few ask to come stay there. Definitely had to say no. I wouldn’t mind company either, but just can’t risk it.
God bless you there's some horrible people about hope you find somewhere
As a former stealth camper I learned its always just a matter of time before you're caught. Too many variables beyond your control and they're always shifting. As long as you understand that and it seems like you do, then you know there's no point in getting mad and looking for someone to blame. The number one thing to realize about human nature is that there's always the few, but enough, people who will spout the socially acceptable reasons for uprooting someone who's causing no harm or damage when we all know the real reason is they can't stand that someone else has the courage to live free when they're slaves. The classic lobsters-at-the-bottom-of-the-trap syndrome.

Nobody is free, whether they have a building or not.
