I am feeling really settled back in the van, with Akela, enjoying our tiny home and slow mornings. The more I think of spending time on my property (so soon!) the more I hope to create the same coziness that I did with my little DIY van!
Thanks for being here everyone, much love from Akela and I!
Akela has to be one of the luckiest dogs out there! Living outside with lots of space to run, fun trails for walks, nutritious food made with love
Saudade is a Portugese word. My paternal grandparents, along with my father, were from Portugal. When my grandfather would go out on his long fishing trips to support his family, my grandmother would often use the word saudade, pronounced sow-dod to express her longing for my grandfather to come home from fishing. While my grandmother knew these fishing trips were necessary, the melancholy feeling of missing my grandfather would sometimes appear. I have not heard the word saudade in quite some time. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my summers with my grandparents in the Azores.
How beautiful, thank you ❤❤❤
My mom is from the Azores ❤
This is something I’ve done for over 40 years. When I realize my dog is getting older. I will take time and locate a puppy or much younger dog. My current dog will help in the selection of the next dog. It will grow and learn from the older dog. Learn how to just simply be a dog and companion. When the older dog passes, they all do and it rips out our heart. The new dog will be able and prepared to step into her new role in life. This really helps us and them
True. My Rory was 12. A Pomeranian mix and the smartest wee boy. Never neutered but never left my side 🐾♥️ We were dealing with a huge tumour on his front wrist. Couldn’t operate they said due to his heart and numbers if allergies. My son got me Sorcha Claire then , a Siberian husky and she grew up with Rory♥️ And is SO much like him now. Rory had the surgery as a last resort when the tumour broke open when it stretched the skin to capacity. I PRAYED and PRAYED. Absolutely terrified but he made it 😊🙏 GOD be thanked. He healed great and lived to almost 19. I had to make that horrible decision at the vets office when what I thought was infected teeth were cancer in his sinus, behind one eye and stomach cancer 💔💔😪 Sorcha helped me so much to handle that and each time I’d cry, she’d be RIGHT THERE. She birthed her puppies early, the night he died. Vet said stress ,, everyone was breeched and end up at emergency at 2 am for supervision. Terrified I’d lose her too. She did good but I had her spayed after the puppies went to their homes It was her 4th litter and now she’s enjoying retirement 😊. ( my son is a breeder )

We've kinda done the same over time but, we get a rescue and let them have many years together and sometimes add in another after six years or so. We do this so when the oldest passes on to their final destination the second doesn't go into a depression, we experienced that before, so we got another rescue. We have four girls all together now, I call two of them my big girls and then the other two are my littles, they are like six pounds vs the eighty and forty pound big girls. Dogs are amazing and love to be in packs, when possible.
Yep me too!
Happy Birthday girl!
Akela and her ball is the sweetest thing ever.
I think these are the two happiest dogs on the whole planet. During the scenes were you are just filming and we can peer into your life, I get overwhelmed with emotion during the moments you share with Akela. Truly a beautiful relationship and one that I wish more people treasured with their dogs. Thank you for sharing with us.
Happy Belated Birthday to Akela (and Kobuk too lol)! This was such a sweet video. I lost my girl in January after 13 wonderful years. She was mischievous like Akela when it came to food.. But she was so cute I could never stay mad. Sometimes it's still a little bittersweet to see people with their pups, but Akela's eyes remind me of my girl. There is a sweet gentleness that just melts your heart.
I wanted to let you know that although I'm twice your age, I've learned things from you about being yourself to the outside world. I was raised to be "feminine", which at the time meant downplaying my abilities. I love that you allow yourself to be you. You are putting good out into the world, and I'm happy for you and proud of you. You inspire me!
Aw thank you for saying that!
Happy birthday Akela you are living the best life!
My three favorite things about this video: AKELA, always AK,ELA, the moonshot, and the van shot at night with the stars, moving overhead inspired footage!❤👏👏👏👏👏
The views are absolutely breathtaking!!!💗 Happy birthday!!! Beautiful Aquila!!!🎉
Oh my gosh our GSP absolutely LOVES those blue&orange chuck it balls! Like seriously obsessed, I think she has 15-20 total...
They're an excellent choice for active puppers!!
Haha what a collection. That's amazing!
Oh! Happy birthday Akela!!! You're such a beautiful fur baby!
DITTO!🥰
Your pups are so cute, the way they walk around together!
I think this was one of your best videos! Thanks for sharing happiness!
Happy Birthday Akela!🎂 Your mom is awesome Akela😉
Definitely talk to some people in the area that have a set up like you would want for your land. They will know the trees that work well for the area and irrigation etc.
My Frankie loves the orange Chuck it balls. I purchased a years worth for his 4th bday. He prefers the 2” ones. I enjoy your videos. Becoming our authentic self takes time.
❤Akela you are so lucky to have the great mom❤
Beautiful video, Happy b-day Akela. I am glad that you had fun with your birthday balls !! I loved your Peru hike ...by the way. I love the way that you love and appreciate your dog a higher-power as she deserves. Beauty-Full.
Once again, the pure love and emotion youre experiencing is portrayed beautifully in video 📹 ❤️ we (including my big boi, Moon) love 'being apart' of your guys' journey. It helps more than you know, look forward to more of your art 🎨 ✨️ 🎥
I also read the book Albatross. It was pretty intense. I can't even imagine what I would have done in her place.
Sorry to hear your getting over an illness, take your time my dear, your land is very beautiful and once your feeling used to it things will work out for you ❤
Another beautifully filmed video in such a beautiful location. Loved the shot of the van and the night sky.
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you are uploading regularly again 🥹 I love your videos so much ❤
Weirdly, just before I watched this video I was listening to a song called Saudade, Saudade by MARO. It’s a beautiful song which sums up the whole feeling behind the word
Resources for particulars for your new growing zone & native trees would be to check for county/state agricultural office, also check forestry dept, possibly game wardens (they will know the area) of course objects in the mirror could be closer than you think/ your research may differ...loveing what you are doing...
When you start the plantings think about peanuts the wild life will thank you and just think about the amazing pics
Thank you for the joy ! The music trailer is that Iron and Wine?
That virus was going round everyone I know has had it including me! Glad your feeling better
such beauty thank you
What kind of dog is kobuck? He looks like a coyote mixed with German shepherd or something like that. He is really cute. I’m glad Akela has him to play with. Happy birthday Akela 💗🩵💙
Happy Birthday Akela hope it’s a safe and happy one with many more to come
Happy birthday Akela ❤ you are treasured 🥰
Happy Birthday, Akela, to my favorite dog w/Kobes coming in a close 2nd. So glad you have Kobuk to play with. You have the best Mom who gives me joy every time she's loving to you. She's a respectful mom who even honors your bedtimes. You're such a beautiful girl, Akela, & I truly adore you.🐾💛✌🏼
Happy Birthday Akela 🎉🎉🎉
Happy Birthday Akela 🎉 you are very special, love you. Linnea, I love the relationship you have with Akela. ❤️
I'm very lucky to have her!
Ok sister, I just moved to southern Utah (St George) March 4th. Pretty please give me directions on this sacred place!
Happy birthday to your baby!
Much love and gratitude for your videos. I’ve been following you since you had 2000 subscribers. Such an inspiration to me.
I get such a calming feeling when I watch all your video's. Thank you. I just found your channel and have been bingeing content! Thanks for all the work you do to bring us these amazing video's!
Aw I'm so glad to hear that! Welcome along. :)
Happy Birthday beautiful Akela and what a perfecly picturesque place to celebrate it.
Happy Akela Day 🐾😊
Happy birthday to Akela!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us! We miss traveling in our van and plan on getting back to it soon! You inspire me to reconnect with what my soul needs! ❤
Happy Birthday Akela. Such a beautiful pup.
At about 4:00, the word saudade is pronounced in multiple ways. Saw-dad is the simplest. It's of Portuguese & Portuguese-Brazilian lineage,
I see your such a clever young girl that was helpful for you keeps your hair up so good
Be ready for a lot of wind. I'm now in my property in CO is very windy from March to May also very dry.❤
Happy birthday Akela❤🎉 I am glad you feel better Linnea 🥰🥰
And I love how Akela tries to talk to you! That is so sweet
Hi Linnea what an absolute Gorgeous Awesome Beautiful Scenery just ❤ it 😊
Happy birthday Akela! 🎾. Linnea I loved the hair stick you made, very cool. Did you know manzanita has long been popular for bird perches? Have you ever burned it? It's supposed to be great firewood.
What an amazing space. Such a life you’re living! Thanks for sharing!❤
This is so interesting watching your channel AFTER I watched Chris's video. I feel like whilst I already knew about certain aspects of this trip, seeing the two different POVs really allowed me to experience differently.
Hi Linnea wish You and Akela a Happy Thanksgiving and Akela Happy Birthday many more Treats to come and many more years to come ❤😊
I spent 37 years working E.M.S. Our first vehicles we worked out of were van ambulances. It was a challenge. You only had access to the PT.s left side, which meant when you were starting an IV you had access to the PT.s left AC. (Left inner arm vein). If you blew it, you had an almost impossible time trying to start an IV on the Pts.' right AC which was up against the wall ,as the stretcher was mounted against the inside left wall of the rig. There was a chair at the Pts.' head, which helped when bagging the PT. (Inserting a tube down the Pts.' airway, attaching a plastic bag half the size of a football to squeeze to force air down the PT.s lungs). Doing CPR in a van ambulance meant you were on your knees on the Pts.' left side while your partner was bagging them. Trying to deliver a baby in the back of the rig bouncing around by yourself while your partner was up front driving code three (Lights and siren) to the E.R. was always a challenge. Those vans suspension were never designed to be ambulances. They were built to be delivery vans. Add a very heavy oxygen tank located right behind the driver, and two fuel tanks, forward and aft presented it's own set of challenges when you had to drive in the ice and snow. Driving code three meant transporting the PT. swiftly but safely. Not driving like you had a rocket in the rear. It took skill and coordination. You had to approach intersections carefully, trying to predict what the other drivers were going to do as you slipped through. Plus you had to drive in a manner that helped your partner in the rear working on a PT, so you weren't throwing them around in the back. Knowing where each item was in the back of the rig was crucial. At the beginning of each shift you would do a rig check, O2, fuel, oil, antifreeze, tires, IV fluids, a drug check, etc. That way while treating a PT. in the back you knew what you had and where it was. You learned how to cram everything in every nook and cranny you could find. If you were lucky enough to have a third medic in the back of the rig with you, that medic would kneel on the stretcher using their left knee right next to the Pts.' right knee and their right leg was on the floor. Try doing CPR like that while bouncing down the road going code three. The challenges were different whether you were driving urban roads or rural roads. When we finally got the box ambulances it was an amazing difference. There was a jump seat at the Pts.' right side as the stretcher was located in the middle of the floor, which meant you had three access points now to treat the PT. The third medic had a much easier time. These rigs were heaver, more stable, handled better in the bad weather. Had only one fuel tank, ours were diesel powered. It was a joy switching to the box ambulances.
Also, if you have an old garden hose, abd dont want to pay for an irrigation hose, poke holes along the hose and run pressure low
Happy Birthday Akela!....🎂🎁🎀🎆🎉
I've been feeling a bit melancholy as my plans to venture into van life have stalled. Your videos lift me up. Glad you're feeling better. Happy birthday to Akela 🎉
🎉Happy birthday, Akela 🎂🎁🦴🐾💕🎊
Happy birthday AKELA ❤❤❤
Happy belated birthday Akela. So happy you are living a joyful life. 🎉
So excited for a video
Thank you for sharing your life . I enjoy watching .
I think that you're
good at creating your story for us to watch .I look forward to watching more . Thank you
for us to watch . I don't think I could do what you have done , I would like to .
I loved this one! Melancholic at moments, but the beautiful scenery and these special, special dogs and as a bonus the two of you!
The way you feel about the desert; I feel about the White Mountains of NH. There is something about space.
I live in the Pacific Northwest in Oregon in a little town called Clatskanie so this may truly not work in that climate but for a Windbreak and shade and something set grows fairly quickly there's always cottonwood trees you can actually grow one by putting one of the branches in the ground they're called whips but they do require water but we get rain here. But we have used them for windbreaks for privacy for shade and they're not totally invasive and they're not something that you would permanently have to keep and you could always cut them down if you don't want them but it might be something that you totally can't grow there or that you're not interested in it's just an idea I was thinking about when you were talking about what you were wanting. I'm so happy for you and your new property and all your adventures to come and I look forward to watching you create a beautiful home for yourself may God bless you and keep you safe and everything you do.❤ and of course...
🎉Happy Birthday to you
🎉Happy Birthday to you

I can say im still 20 just this april, watching you and knowing you here is one of the best , you showed a version of me somewhere which was lost. i think its too soon for me to start living that part of life but watching you fills me with a joy of adventure 🌱and a sense of longings , i think my social skills are not made for the society and seeing you here makes me aware that this might be something i could or i want in my life definitely, just waiting for a resources to fulfill this concept of life which i might love , explore , i adore you both 🤍🎀✨️ happy birthday akela !! I love how freely you live and willing to create the new chapter by buying a land i wanna see that part too , your gratitude your sense of words , your way of expression, different perspective is so calm 🎀✨️🤍🩰☁️ i love you lots !!
:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharng and Happy Birthday Akela! WELL DONE, and ALL the BEST! Cheers :)
Happy Birthday Akela!!!!❤ *8 years old. Dogs seem to change with age, like children (and adults) hopefully maturing for the better. I am sure she still does her silly stuff, like dropping the ball for your attention (I assume usually when Kobuck is not around?), she certainly has developed her give and take with Koby, I am so glad they have each other. I like that Kobuck stands in front of the camera, I believe it’s intentional and today he gets the excuse that he needs more attention because Akelas getting so much on her birthday. It’s hard to blend families and you 4 are doing so great! BTW I get the glow balls that are similar, during the winter I tie a rope through them so when they go thru the snow we can find them. Plus it’s fun in fields at night! Love the calmness of your episodes❤
Happy birthday, beautiful pup. Linnea, have you ever thought about getting Akela a grounding mat. They do wonders for people and pets.
Wow you take some great footage on your camera. You are so good at editing your videos as well. I enjoy all your videos. 🩷
Omg, what a beautiful video. Really love how this was filmed and edited. Well done. Happy happy birthday Akela 🎉🎉🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AKELA!!! 🎉🐶🎉🥳🥳🎉
That is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, Linnea.. truly. That is all I want for my life.. to see such incredible things, and beauty of life.. and love. 💕
❤Happy Birth Day Akela❤😊
