It's admirable to see someone young, like yourself, wanting to live an "authentic" life, and not be a cog in the machine, as it were. Hundreds, if not thousands, of books have been written that lament the prospect of spending your life under the employ of some soul-sucking 8-to-5 job, detached from you own desires and aspirations. New viewer and best wishes to you.
Yeaa it’s amazing out here, thanks for the support
There will be more going on in my other episodes, I was dealing with strong winds the whole week and only had one day to shoot and edit this :/ and I took the time to answer the main questions I always get asked
Crazy is who does not chase a dream! Keep pushing no matter what man! I read this phrase this morning “Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.” Keep going!! 🙅🏽♂️
Awesome thanks for the support :)
You can't give up this fast.... .. it takes time to get a channel up and running. I've watched and learned about RUclips fur about 4 years now wanting to start a channel then my mom got sick and everything is on hold for now . But. Everyone says it takes a couple years to get enough subs to get anything at all. Just video and put them on here. From the smallest things like getting gas and supplies to actually sailing . .. yes you can upgrade and get a better underwater camera eventually. But we all start somewhere.
Thanks for the positivity but I’ve seen people that keep putting up videos from there cockpit for years and it just gets stale and never goes anywhere, I’ll keep making em until the absolute last day that I can though, I still have a few months of money left though there’s still more to come lol
This is my dream!! I think about it day and night for the past 7 years! I totally get it. Congratulations on getting the boat! Thats the most important step ❤
Maaan you should get out here, just the thought was driving me nuts cause I couldn’t get my mind off of it lol
@OffgridOceanLife I totally get that! It consumes me! I just need a boat and then I feel like everything else can be figured out. Hawaii and then French Polynesia are my obsession!
@@sailing1stwatchbetter start making some plans :) lol
I watch the Sailing Brothers, Wilding Sailing and others. The cool thing is seeing exotic travel locations and stops and the sails in between to some extent. It would be cool to see this from your channel later on. Another thing is cross pollination by getting yourself on their videos when you meet up in some locations around the world.
Oo yea I’m definitely gonna get there within a year, I can’t wait. The only thing stopping me was money but I think I might have that figured out now :)
SLV went back to work for one year before going full time sailing. Hang in there. If you have to go back to work for awhile don’t look at it as a failure, just look at it as a stepping stone. You know how much it will cost to stay out there and that will make working easier because you’ll have a goal figure to work toward.
That’s worse case scenario of course.
Thanks :) yea I’m looking forward to what comes of all this in the future
Hey loved your honesty!! I think so many people think that those that live these "dream lives" didn't sacrifice things or it was somehow easy, I couldn't agree more that if you want something you can find a way to make it happen. Glad you're following your dream! Also, I watch a few different channels and most of them are at least a month behind with their footage, give you some leeway with having days/weeks that aren't that interesting, I'm no expert, just thought I'd share. I also know a few different people that do sailboat/boat deliveries for work (captain or crew), they often (with permission) can film and edit that footage for their channel too, you would obv need certain licenses, but could be another idea :) Fair winds!!
Loved the comment.,Yea I’m gonna get a little ahead of these videos it’ll be nice not to feel so rushed,I’d love to charter people around but yea u need a captains license insurance and a commercial boat for all that :/
And any dream has sacrifices. . I was raised at camp mack on Kissimmee river very poor side of town and I WOULDNT CHANGE ANY OF IT FOR ANY MONEY. DEF WILL BE HEADED TO BLUE WATER AFTER MOM ... GOOD LUCK
People say that to me all the time with seasonal work, I wish I could do that and travel like you do....its like well you can if you want it enough. People will always have excuses why they cant & its because they are scared of change. Nice videos :)
Your awesome :)
I'm subscribing to help out a little bit. I'll watch your videos and if I like em you'll have a new patron soon.
Been planning boat life for over a decade. Kids are grown now and we are gonna make it happen soon. But the sailboat dreams have turned into power boat dreams for now. I work 3 weeks on, 3 off now, VS my old schedule of 6 months on, 6 off. And ya, 6 months 7 days a week was my schedule. Now I'm on 3&3, SOOOO, we are going to do the great loop.
Blue collar dude trying to do retired ppl stuff before retirement. Lol
I got hope for ya man.
But, if you're not making videos it's kinda hard to support ya.
Why not sail somewhere, work a month or 2, then sail off to the next one?
Also. Record EVERYTHING when you're on the boat. Projects, sailing, diving, all of it. Get some footage in the bank, and then when you take a break to make money, use that footage to make videos. Be consistent with releasing 1.a week. Even a 10 minute video. Even a 5 minute video. Get subs, be consistent with it, and you'll succeed. Don't quit releasing videos. That will be your yt downfall from what I've seen.
Edit. Work to get at least a few months ahead in your videos. How do you think all the big channels do it? They need breaks too, so, they release 6+ month old footage.
Dang man,awesome advice. Good luck I Hope to see u out here one day and I hope you like the videos and if not tell me why lol I’m trying to get them to be perfect one day ahah. But yea just working just a month or 2 I wouldn’t ever be able to leave US
Keep on going. Short periods of work in between voyages is a good plan and working at a marina you will keep learning more about the boat and sailing. You can always do shorter videos on your days off until you get the chance for bigger trips. You construction skills will do you well. Even in foreign countries you can find some jobs to fund the next leg
Yea I’m not to worried :) your binge watching all my videos huh? Haha thanks for the support let me know if u see anything I could work on or want to see anything new in the videos
Congratulations on starting your dream and like you I’m working on starting mine best of luck to you and hopefully I will see you out there on the ocean next year if things line up ……fair winds my friend
Awesome man let me know when u get here
Keep going Nick. A lot of cruisers work & liveaboard to pad the kitty. They edit every day after work a few hours. You may only be able to do 1 or 2 vids per month.
Heyy thanks :) I think I found a job from someone watching my videos but it’s 70 hours a week so I’m gonna try to stack some footage up and work for a month and hopefully keep everything rolling
Right on, Nick! This is a great and inspiring video. A life of freedom is the only way to live. We know that you will be successful in this journey, even if takes a little bit of time.
Yeaa I’m to stubborn for it not to work out haha thanks for the support :)
Great episode. Thanks for yr honesty in sharing yr back story. Yr blocks are just getting old. Sheaves will start to crumble. U may have luck at a cruisers swap meet for good used ones. Keep on doin what U love. Maybe the contact for work in Tampa or at a marina may help keep up some cash flow n still be living on the water. Cheers from a solo sailor liveaboard in Ontario Canada. Also great music U added!!
Heyy thanks for the comment feedback and support man, glad u liked it, good to hear from other people doing the same thing
You'll figure it out.
My husband and I sell insurance on-line and make a very good living.
We sail 6-months a year and began with using the wifi from hotels.
We moved to Starlink for RV and eventually Starlink marine.
The technology is rapidly evolving.
It is expensive, but you'll get there.
Yea it’s all gonna work out either way, I’m excited to see where this life takes me :)
If you want youtube to work, i think you should absolutely not stop. Even if you can't do as much, keep going. People will forget or move on, or whatever. Don't stop. You jumped off and are going for your dream, keep going. Maybe youtube shorts could help you gain attention. I imagine an ocean passage would be good. Go to Cuba, or the bahamas. It's perfect time to go to the bahamas, isn't it? There are several types of remote work that you could do with a computer. You can set up a business and charter people, take people fishing or diving. Think about advertising.
Yea I hear ya man I looked into all that I had shorts when I started but they hurt your long videos bad, all bigger creators have separate channels for them.you need a captains license a commercial boat and insurance to charter people and I’d love to go to the Bahamas but can’t work there without work visas and I would need starlink for online jobs haha appreciate u looking out though
@@OffgridOceanLife keep it ip bro. You you this.
You got this* i meant. You're living our dreams. Is there an update coming soon?
I'm curious what has been the most like you thought it would be and what has been the least?
@@travistucker7317 new video every Saturday at 11am :) it’s all been amazing except for the big storms and it’s a lot windier than I thought at least in Florida during fall and winter, it’s almost been a year and I’m still not used to how much life has changed
Would you be able to teach sailing? I plan on getting a boat soon and wouldn’t mind paying spend time and learn how to navigate and sail properly. My insurance doesn’t care about my classroom training. They want me to do at least 5 days hands on learning from real life experience. This should be much more than just sending you $5 bucks. Also, I hope you don’t stop making the vids. They are good and very addictive! I hope one day I can experience this freedom.
Thanks for the compliments, I should be able to do something like that, I guess it depends on what you really have in mind.
Greetings from Romania! Good luck, my friend!
Heyy thanks I’ve got some family there :) hope you like the videos
greetings from Ireland, enjoying ur content, raw fun real, better then a lot of others, and ur only starting!!!
Love reading comments like these :) thanks, let me know if you see anything I can do better, I’ve got nothing but time out here
@@OffgridOceanLife successful seasoned bloggers are basically the same people they started as when I watch back older vids, so just be and do u at all times seems to be the magic formula on YT, the camera works secondary and improves naturally.
@@kezan1431 u should be a professional commentator :) lol
@@OffgridOceanLife 😂
Keep rockin it & chasin the sun, you're doing great, getting there!! First 1k followers!!
Thanks :) yea I’ll never stop,shoot ill get me a catamaran in 5 years with you haha
You got this. Don't give up.
Thanks for the support man
Legal mano,siga e tudo vai se ajustando.o homem nasceu pra realizar,essa ea vontade dele☝️
Haha thanks man :)
Living my dream man, very inspiring. I hope you figure out a way to keep it going.
Thanks, yea I’ll figure it out jst might have to take a break from these videos if I run outta money but I’ll get right back to it if that happens
Good stuff Nick! Really enjoyed this video and learning how you're doing things!
Thanks man I wasn’t sure about this one cause the weathers been so windy I had to shoot and edit all in one day
mad respect to you for living your dream life the way you want to. If you have to work for awhile its fine ,people will stick by you if they believe in you! Keep it up and looking forward to your next adventures
Thanks for the positivity :) yea I think it’ll all work out
Keep it up, you will figure things out as you go along.
Thanks that’s what I’m hoping :)
Sail to tampa we have work for as long as u want and its right on the water so easy to get to work.
I’m sailing to Sarasota/bradenton I’ll be close that way
@@dankfarmer6231 got me excited for a second haha, what could I make doing something like that?
@OffgridOceanLife 25hr
@@dankfarmer6231 hmmm if I can start for 25 an hour I actually might take you up on that, what kind of hours per week we talking?
@@OffgridOceanLife 630am to 530pm Monday through Saturday
Good luck out there.
Thanks :)
Yo dog, big time RUclipsrs constantly say 10 years to develop. Make a plan C. Don’t blow your wad!
Haha well I’m at 20 patreon members right now which took 2 months, if I can get to 80 I’ll have enough to live and make my videos ten times better
Always bringing the inspiration and realness! Sending all the good vibes, mi amigo!
Haha thanks :)
Your playlist is backwards
im gettin my boat next spring, gotta get radio license and international skippers license
Oo thanx for the heads up,I think I fixed it. Good luck man its a fun lifestyle
@@OffgridOceanLife no problem
Great videos. Just subscribed. Ive just come back from 5 months sailing the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Queensland. Quick question whats the make model of your dive compressor?
Fairwinds mate. keep on keeping on. im just heading back to work too lol. Getting more travel tokens
Haha nice :) thanks for the support. I’ve gotten asked that question at least 20 times maybe I should make a video on it lol www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09GLVVVQ4/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 jst a cheap Chinese compressor but it’s worked great for me
Thanks
Keep going and build up your community but RUclips money is so little dude. You can make about $1k to $2k monthly on twitch but it’s a daily live thing.
Yea I’m trying to use Patreon for money, I thought twitch was more for gamers
I have been IRL streaming on twitch , RUclips, and others for years as a hobby that actually makes me money. But I keep a real job. I bought the sailboat and enjoy it but am a new also to sailing. I keep my sailboat in the Philippines. Twitch.tv/randywhorton drop in and say hi let me know if you need help getting started.
please change the order list Now 8to1 I can't see it in order
Order list? Not sure what list your talking about
@@OffgridOceanLife
In playlist sory lm Japanese . lm not good at English .
It’s ok I’m not good at Japanese :) lol I think I fixed what you were talking about
put your video money into short term (options) bullish/bearish in the stock market,, there are kids in highschool raking in million a year trading between classes
A lot of times I don’t have reception and don’t really have enough money anymore to go that route anyways, I think I found a job to work for a month or 2 here soon I’ll be good :)
