  • We went from the chaos of "GUTTED" to the beautiful alpine lakes of Colorado. Akela and I made life long friends and experienced some amazing places!

    We are Linnea and Akela. In May, 2020 I purchased our 2016 Ram ProMaster, Togo, to become our full-time home. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
    Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

    Hej, I'm Kristina and I'm from Sweden, old enough to be your mother or even grandmother :-). But I follow you and love you, Akela and your films on youtube. I also have a daughter named Linnéa. Do you know that Linnea is the name of a small pink fragrant flower you can find in the forrests? If you didn't know- look it up- Linnaea borealis.
    I wish all the best for you and Akela. Take care. A big varm hug to you two.

    Love the footage of you fishing. My granddad taught me to fly fish when i was a kid. Practiced for hours and hours in his garden trying to get the fly into an empty tin of beans. Then fished for trout in Scotland and Ireland with him. Happiest times spent with him.

    When coming back to CO from Utah check out gateway CO, and the canyons there. Go south toward telluride too. You won't regret it. Nobody goes that way.
    I'm in chaffee county, last year hiked 10 alpine lakes all an hour from Leadville. I worked in Leadville office job for 4 years.
    I got a van. Just my dog and I. Heading to west coast by November.
    Safe travels. I know tons of hidden gems in CO.

    Linnea, I hope you appreciate what a truly amazing unique human being you are. When I was your age my decisions were all based on pure fear. I’ve been through some pretty shitty things and I had no trust for anyone. I was terrified to travel because I lived in “what if” land. Always expecting worst case scenarios.
    Watching you I feel that inner child awakening telling me to get out there and do all the things I was afraid to do for the last 20 years.
    I turn 43 next month and I live in my van most of the time now. Still straightening out the insurance. So I am going to live my dream life starting today. So yeah. Thank you for being so fucking awesome. Keep it real. It’s what makes your channel one of the best ones. You get discouraged at times but you shrug it off and move on. No time to feel sorry for yourself. I’m rambling now. LOL. Anyway KEEP BEING YOU. I think you have the potential to change a lot of lives just by doing what you are doing. Sharing your real self. Sending strength and good vibes your way.

    Oh I coulda told ya about an awesome lake around monarch, not far from where you were at gutted! Spectacular lake and only 1.25 hour hike. Treeline, ginormous boulders, camping in the trees at water edge, and magnificently colored fish in crystal clear water. Hardly anyone ever there either! The place is absolutely stunning. I should go back over there come to think of it. Always wanted to camp there. Never have, just hiked to it a couple times

    I feel obligated to represent you and source responsible or efficient shop to resolve all your car issues once and for all. Honestly you shouldn't have to pay a dime at this point and Dodge should step up and get you premier service at the closest dealer or shop or your choice.
    Hate seeing the stress of car issues get people down, you're learning to cope and your story is inspiring. Just find the positive and dont let it get you down.

    I've been subscribed to your channel since the beginning of your van build. I remember all of the ups and down you had during the process, and how proud you were when it was completed and you had accomplished your goal all on your own. Fast forward to now, and I just watched your van tour on the 'Tiny Home Tours' channel. It's almost like re-living small snippets of your build. The pride you exude in showing off all of your hard work is so nice to see. You're an inspiration by proving that if you believe, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to and can chase your dreams. Congratulations! (P.S. - A hello and pets for Akela.)

    I couldn’t stop laughing at Akela. She was soooo happy just running around seeing everyone. The best ‘invasive species’ EVER! Did you look to see what insects the trout might have been eating? My fly fishing teacher always droned, ‘match the hatch’. I just like fishing, catch or not. That bloody engine light! I’m going to talk to my mechanic. This is so wrong on so many levels. Hugs from Canader eh!

    By now, I hope your check engine light woes are under control. Is there a possibility that the transmission line to the cooler has a leak and maybe it's sucking air into the system when hot? If it has a small leak where the hard transmission line connects to the transmission or the other end at the cooler, it may be exacerbated after it heats up from driving a while. I hope the issue is done though. :-) Happy trails to you and Akela
