    I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 10+ years. I am a photographer and forager. We enjoy hiking, camping, paddle boarding, climbing and being outside as much as we can. We have countless stories and lessons to share and are always trying to learn new skills and improve in many aspects of life. Thank you for coming along.

    A world has been created that we don’t want or feel good living in! The people who have to live in this chaos are numb! Your feelings are what human beings should feel when exposed to the insanity and overwhelming stimuli!! It makes me feel good to watch you and see someone who is still engaged in a purposeful way of living life!!!

      I have thought this was a logical direction for you to go for awhile. Your photography has to be very marketable. Something you love and are beyond very good at. It gives you the quiet, isolated life style that feeds your soul yet monetarily supports you and must give a sense of fulfillment and achievement. I wish you the best in fulfilling this happiness.

    Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with your audience. Although I am not normally an emotionally expressive person, I recently felt similar feelings to yours, just mine came out as impatience, headache and feeling really negative. I have been exploring in the lower Yukon area and I am in love with the space and freedom. But I had to go back to Whitehorse for dog food and a hiking shoe delivery recently, which turned into a 5 day ordeal. It wasn’t until I arrived at a quiet peaceful lake out towards Kluane last night that I realized what was wrong with me. So, however it is that we express ourselves, the bottom line is that it is ok and our inner knowing is just very expressive when it comes to its ideal state. I hope you find your zen again soon

      As humans we didn’t evolve to be around crowds of strangers. Yes we are social beings but social with close knit people not strangers. I think most people become more sensitive to crowds as they get to enjoy more time in solitude.

    Your sensitivities run deep on all levels and I can completely relate. When you cry, I cry with you. I am also at my best in the natural, quiet and unbelievably beautiful world we live in. Solitude is my best friend. People and busy-ness and too much unnatural sound, lights (yes street lights) leech my energy. Having the choice to duck in and out of the world and choose loved ones and then the peaceful beauty and solitude of the environment is such a blessing for you. I also get migraines and when I was younger, I noticed they came and went with the phases of the moon. Sometimes they came and it felt like they were right after a stressful (and even happy) event and my body was forcing me to just stop for awhile. Maybe this is true for you. But perhaps not. But I am sorry that you suffer with them. The purity of your being is beautiful, appreciated and rare Amanda. The people that follow your channel resonate with that and we are all like you in some way and can relate to you and are we appreciate that you share your life here on YT. We adore Frank. I have your postcard with Frank's beautiful face on my refrigerator with all of my family photos to remind myself of your life and Frank and how I need to get out and maintain my self-care by being out alone in the woods, etc. PS-you did a great job on your bangs!!!

You've taken us to a world I never knew about and you've given me an agoraphobic, a desire to get out and see all these places for myself. I do understand crying when you leave a place that you hold so dear in your heart but I'm sure this summer with your grandma will give you memories you will treasure forever.

    Oh how I feel so much of this video. One point I don't want to get lost is your comment about berespectful of the island. I do plan on going. However, I have seen so many places ruined by tourist. Thank you for reminding folks to be respectful of the land and its people. So much of our planet has been destroyed. We need to do better. You have found a magical place that still has so much purity and peace. Let's all try to keep it that way. Take care of yourself Amanda. Sending you peace and love.

    What do Thimble berries taste like. I never heard of them. They look similar to Raspberries. Thats great you are spending time with your Grandmother. Time goes by so fast, all of a sudden loved ones are gone.😢 Try to enjoy your time there. Happy birthday Frank!❤❤

      I would say they’re similar to raspberries but a little tangier and stronger in flavour

    I felt like that when I left Tuk. The farther away I got the worse it got, but eventually it got better. I really wanted to turn around and go back, but had to be back at work. You're lucky because you can go back sooner than later. I really want to go back to Tuk and my first trip to Haida Gwaii. Hopefully next summer. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

      I ended up in Tuk for 8 days, it was hard to leave. I don’t understand how most people drive there, maybe spend a day and then turn back.

    My wife calls me a Freebird, she saw very quickly that I hated being in the city or overly built up areas, immam at my most calm and content self in nature, same as you I have had a couple of TPI’s so I can fully relate to the overload feeling, it’s such a difficult place to come back come back from once we are at overload.
    I think your reaction and solution to the situation was perfect, and I’m glad Sir Frank is there, as I bet he’s a great help.
    Showing yourself in the middle of overload took some immense courage, and real, real is something I think you do very well vid wise, I hope you realise how strong you are.
    I don’t comment much, but felt I had to today as this resonated very much with me.
    My Grandfather was huge in my life too, died in 1995, it’s still difficult at times, trust the process, and isn’t it great that their skills, thoughts and beliefs(at time 😂) live on in us. I’m sure he was proud of you, as men we may not show it as often enough, but it’s definitely there.

    I've lived in Prince Rupert for 10 years. It's not been the easiest place to live. I confidently say that there is a lot of mindless souls careening there way around. They will walk right out in front of moving vehicles, swing their car door open on the side of the street right as cars are coming and casually think of themselves before fathoming the existence of someone else. It's less of the small town lifestyle with each passing year.
    The island(Haida Gwaii) runs at a snails pace. Everything takes longer but time itself slows down. That slower pace can be a really big plus for some people. People from the city can't even relate to it. This is how the island calls back certain individuals to come and settle. I think most remote places are similar in that respect. I would consider moving there but it's nice to be able to just take a ferry from PR as well. Thimble berries are only just starting to come out here.

    Interesting history of the name. :) It says online --
    The name means "Islands at the Boundary of the World" The spelling is presented as X̱AAYDAG̱A GWAAY. YAAY on the First Peoples Language Map of British Columbia. In the early 1970's the name was restyled as Haida Gwaii ("Islands of the People") by the Haida people.

    I wouldn't miss a single video of yours. Your Haida Gwaii series is spectacular. You are such a sensitive photographer. I really sympathize with you re the migrains. They made my life miserable for many years. You are a very special person and I am so glad you will have a summer on Vancouver Island with the lovely Frank and your grandma.❤❤

    I get it. When I came down from the mountain and my isolated off grid cabin to care for my elderly folks in a quiet suburban area I was so overwhelmed and anxious for months! I did adjust but whew! How scary. Glad you got some sleep and it helped.

    Your time on HG was some of my favorite episodes that you’ve filmed. I fell in love with it there and secretly hoped you wouldn’t leave. I need to get a map and figure out where that is ( I live in Florida). Through your channel I’ve really come to fall in love with the nature of Canada. A Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK🎂🐾❤️✨✨ I adore you and Frank. Looking forward to the summer on Vancouver Island, Enjoy your time there 💜 I’ll stay tuned.

    I am on this island too! I can't believe the traffic here right now, its brutal ! I must go find some thimble berries for a nibble too, enjoy the summer. Loved the time on Hida Gwaii ! I will probably never get to go, so I appreciate that you shared it with us, it was a piece of Heaven on Earth.

    Oh my word Amanda, I felt so sad seeing you quite distraught and appreciated you sharing your raw feelings. You are so genuine and have a wonderful heart ❤️ Your Grandmother will certainly feel the love from you, as she herself is feeling a great sense of loss in losing her husband of many years. Your being there will most definitely help you both heal and reminisce over the fond memories of your grandfather. Frank is such a genuine friend to you and I’m sure he enjoys your pampering him and is definitely your biggest love.💕

    I cried along with you. I just came back from travels in smaller provinces. I wanted to spend some time with my son in the city. Turned out after two days I just couldn't stay any longer so now I'm at my summer get away.
    Spending your summer with your grandmother will be amazing, you stay strong you might have days that get the best of you were memories floods in and get overwhelming, you got this. Sending you healing energies and lots of love 🤗 🤗

    I know exactly who you feel when left the island, for me the mainland is way too peoply. My island coincidentally has almost exactly the same amount of people, 4700, and similar large size, 150km long. The lack of humans is delightful and nature splendid! I’m lucky to have found my own little slice.
