Thank you for supporting the channel ♥ If I've done my jobs I've inspired someone to chase their dreams!
So glad to see you again, my wife and I are retired and last winter we took off. 11,000 miles 14 states and 5 and a half months. And you and Roe had a part in that dream. Wish you the best and hope that one day we will meet.
It’s great to see you back making videos. Yours was one of the first full time RV couples we followed. It will be interesting seeing how you handle the 2 RV setup. Best of luck to both of you and sweetie.❤
A lot of I this and I that. Like the several last videos before you left over a year ago. No, Roe. And she started out without you months before. Remote work she could have stayed with you. But bought her own rig, and left .... you.! Good luck, David.
What?
Missed you, David! I'm so glad you're back and doing well. Your channel has been a huge inspiration for me to travel full-time and now that I'm getting closer, it's so great to see you again. Can't wait to see where you land in the coming months and years to come.
If maintaining and gassing two rigs gets untenable, consider a bunkhouse trailer where you can remove bottom bunk and make that Roe's office and craft/storage area and then you still have upper bunk for other storage needs!
My wife and I learned so many good things from your videos. Plus, sharing your dreams and experiences is super fun.
Thanks so much for returning!
Well, as everyone knows, life can throw a lotta curve balls!!! And we all mature in our journey(s). So, I'm glad to see ya back and sharing your journeys with us once more. All the best to you both! Now go out and 'RV' your way!!! Prayers 🙏 for safe travels and inspiring places/people!!! 👍😁
I learned how to grease my bearings watching this channel, started research on generators when you converted a Honda from gas to propane, even had a better idea what to do with my stove when the glass shattered because of your episode where the stove rattled off the countertop. I'm happy to see you're back because there is something about your channel that is more relatable. i have crazy dreams of retiring and supporting my wife and I by being a remote consultant for school information systems while roaming around. We've got a long way to go to get there... it's encouraging to see those who have done it!
Cameras dont make the video, big loss financially but not the end of it, glad yall are back, looking forward to more videos.
I totally agree, the "backup" camera is great and it's the content that matters 😊
Good to see you back and looking forward to see your new adventures. Just one little piece of advice. Shortly before taking your break, it seemed as though you were only continuing to make videos for the income and weren't really enjoying the process of making them. If (and it probably will at times) it begins to feel more like work again and less like enjoying your life, just take another break. Don't let it become a chore to be completed. Your first priority must always be to enjoy life.
Thank you so much for persevering at what you love! Your videos have always been beautifully shot and edited -they are a joy to view! You both are so compelling and genuine, so thank you for coming back!
David, It is so great you two are back together on the road. We miss your ground work on locations that we will visit!
Well, David, and Roe, this is a really big twist, and something I haven’t seen before, but I get it. Best wishes, and I’m happy you’re back!
Haha yep! We've been doing the two rig thing for a year now and while it's been really nice having more space it really isn't practical for a number of reasons (as I'm sure you can guess) so we're getting ready to sell both the trailer and the motorhome and get a fifth wheel 👍 but we wanted to give the two rig thing a try since it's something we've thought about for a while
We are very fortunate to live in a time period where we can live alternate life styles. We don't have to be bound up with the traditional thinking, Married you live together, Nope my husband doesn't travel I do, ten plus years he is in Utah I am all over. I missed you both while you took a break, and I do understand the need for a break and why you came back. Life is so different when you stand still. I can't stand still, traveling is important to me. As I have gotten older I have had to stop because of health but boy watching You Tube videos sure helps me. Thank you for your story and glad you are back. Good luck
I couldn't be happier to see you both. I hope yall have been well and know that we all have sent you both many good wishes ❤️
Thank you! It's good to be back!
What video did you just watch??? We just saw David in this video which has created some concerns…
The concern is you haven't watched the videos to bring you up to date
Michelle and I are so excited to see you are back on the road. We have missed the whole crew, can't wait to see updates on all the pets too. Welcome back!!! Kyle and Michelle
Hey guys! How are you both doing? I've been keeping up to date on your travels and actually watched your starlink videos to get more information on what it's like before buying it myself. Safe and happy travels!
-David
@@FateUnbound Thanks David! We're really excited to see you back. Things are going well with us. Currently in Crested Butte, Colorado. Maybe we'll cross pads again in the near future. Excited to see how things are going
Happy you're back. Your videos helped me many a time. Great reference. Enjoy being out there again!
I just did a tear down of my flow fan in my rv using your video.
We are so happy to see you back on RUclips. We’ve thought of you often, and hoped you were doing well. We’re looking forward to following your new adventures!
Glad to see you back and hope you arent getting pushed our/away.
'GOLDEN YEARS TRAVELING'
David and Roe, glad you two are back and easing back into RUclips Videos. Wishing you the very best and looking for more adventures and all the DIY instructinal videos that you will once again produce. God bless you and safety in your travels.
Glad to see you guys back and out there again. I have always loved your style. I hope to be hitting the road soon myself. Best of luck and safe travels
Glad to see you back! Just discovered your new/returning vid! Missed you both! Looking forward to seeing you (and Roe when she is okay with it) again! Missed your DIYs!
Great to see Fate Unbound again. Deb and I very much enjoy your videos.
So, so happy you guys are back!!! We have a Springdale almost like yours and we learned so much from you on upgrades and upkeep of that particular RV! And we have always loved “visiting” all the cool places you went to! Welcome back to RV life!!! 😊🎉
Thanks for being vulnerable and honest about life. I’ve really enjoyed your videos.
So excited to see your smiling face again. 😁 Your videos really helped us while we were trying to decide if the full-time life was for us. Turns out it is. We sold our house and bought our motorhome 3 years ago. It's a little bit bigger than your trailer (39' with 3 slides) so we have the room we need. We still have to work part of the year, but that just means we get to spend the beautiful summers in WA state. We are headed south for the winter in just a couple weeks. It was great seeing Sweetie. The pictures of her from your meet and greet still show up on my photo shuffle. How are Butters, Alice and the bunnies doing?
Glad you guys are back. Never forget to give yourselves the best of your time, make your audience secondary. You guys are worth it.
I'm glad your back!! We have traveled by RV with my husband before he died. I miss that lifestyle.
I'm sorry you lost your husband, I hope the memories you made together while traveling keep him alive in your mind 😊
I am again thrilled to see that you two have returned. I look forward to seeing your content again.
David still has the best smile on RUclips!
😁
Thanks for the update David. Hoping things work out for the both of you. The financial strain of running two rigs full-time is a concern, but prayers for the both of you from here.
I am SO GLAD to see you guys are back! When I saw a new video from you this morning, I had to click on it immediately! You both are who inspired me to build out my 2017 Rockwood Mini Lite trailer with an off-grid solar and inverter system, and your videos were instrumental in giving me the confidence to do the work myself
Welcome back. You have been missed. Your channel was my first one. Best of luck on your travels.
Glad to see you are back. Hope to see you down the road .
Wow, it's like seeing an old friend again! Missed you guys!
Good to see you again. "Life Satisfaction" that's a very good phrase for you guys. Best Wishes & Travel Safe
Super happy you are back and that you are doing good. Looking forward to more videos.
I was so worried glad to see your both well and back Rving
So glad you are back!! Your videos taught us do much before we stepped out in our retirement to live in our camper for 8 months. We are currently back home but already itching to get back on the road! Thanks for all you shared and look forward to you being back on RUclips!!
A little advice need to see more of that sweetie. Love that Rottie
Welcome back. Can't wait to see what you guys do. And where you go. Your videos are always good.
Thank you! I've got big plans for the next couple videos. We're hitting some national parks and I hope to make some really scenic videos with good RVing information in there too.
-David
Now I understand what you mean by "Fate Unbound"! I am so glad that you are both happy and fulfilled again. I especially look forward to a full pet update, good, bad or sad, whatever it may be. Take it easy and we will see you again when you are ready to make another one of your beautiful videos.
I'm glad you guys are back, it's been to long. Miss seeing precious at the end of your videos. Safe travels and keep making your videos ❤
I knew you would be back and I saw the stress building up in you both. Stress is actually a decision. I'm 64 and now full time with plenty of experience with stress and have found faith is the perfect stress weapon 😊 Thanks to you I have solar and love what it has opened up in boondocking.
Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing your future videos.
Not sure what to think. Loved to see you back but we only see you. The channel has always been the both of you wish is what we enjoyed. Now with two separate RVs it seems to infer that this is going solo - but I may be wrong and will see where it goes. We miss you Roe - channel not the same without you.
I was going to comment something similar. He keeps saying we we we in this video yet all I see is him. Where is Roe? Can she not speak for herself?
You guys inspired me to go fulltime,I did for 9 months in 2020 and my wife missed her house 🏠,so now I’m retiring in 5 yrs and I’m saving to go fulltime for the rest of my life,SS and 401K will be my income source ,thank you guys for turning me onto this life.
You're welcome! I'm glad you love it so much and we've inspired you to live this incredible lifestyle. I'm overjoyed to be back on the road and it is truly where I belong. Safe and happy travels friend 🙂
-David
I can't even express how excited i am that you guys are back and everything is good!! 😊
I want to say thank you as well.
Glad to see you on the road. Safe travels and grand stories to you.
Glad to see you're back. My hubby and I watched all your videos preparing for hitting the road ourselves and we made it! April of 22 was our launch dates. All the reasons you have for coming back ring true to me too. See you down the road, neighbor, thank you so much for all your help, I look forward to continuing to share your journey.
Ahhh omgggg!! So happy to hear from you guys again!!❤❤
Back by popular demand 😂 Happy to see it!!RUclips hasn’t been the same without you guys!
Welcome back guys. It's good to see you guys out and about again.
It's great to see you both back! God bless and happy trails. Look forward to all your future travel experiences. ❤
Good to see you're back! You two were my first RV RUclipsrs and my favorites. I was sad when you stopped but knew it must have been for a good reason.
We travel for half the year. It allows us to see our kids and grandkids, take care of doctor appointments over the summer months and stay out of the cold and snow during the winters. The first year we set out was in a small tt. Big mistake. I need my space. When we returned, we traded in the tt for a fifth wheel and bought a new F250. The next year was so much better!
I'm really looking forward to your videos and am thankful you've answered the call of the road!
No, I didn’t see your farewell message. But this is much better than I had imagined. With your abrupt departure, I assumed you likely divorced.
Good to ses you'all back.
Life is great
Welcome back. Missed your channel. We just got back from a 3000 miles camping trip from Walla Walla to Spokane, whitefish, through Yellowstone, gran Tetons, Pocatello, bend and the Oregon coast. A lot of campgrounds are closed because of fires in Oregon. Next May we’re planning on doing the Alaska trip again. Don’t give up on RUclips. God bless, John
You guys inspired me to fulltime RV. I'm so glad to see you back on the road!!
Glad to see you guys back online. My girlfriend and I travel in separate rigs. I have a class B and pull a small trailer with my bike/kayak/etc and she has a Casita trailer. Works great have two rigs for local travel/ groceries/ hiking. When one vehicle needs service or breaks down we have access to the other while one is down (usually mine as it is 30+ years old). And it allows for some 'alone' time in each day to keep stress levels lower. Additionally we can travel for family visits/support individually throughout the year. I'm currently in MN and she is headed to KY where I'll see her in a couple of weeks.
Wow
I completely envy your set up
After a year and a half on the road it can be so trying
And the YTers never address this topic
Good for you both.
Great work around
Safe travels
OK, I get it. Man Cave travel trailer and Craft Room RV. You are both creatve people with expansive outlooks that need to be fed in the way that works for you. Glad to see you both back.
You pretty much nailed it there. We could get one huge RV but lugging around a 40 footer just isn't going to work for us with boondocking.
@@FateUnboundi don't think you need 40 feet. you can find a trailer with a bunk house and create the extra space and still be at 33 feet or so. There must be something besides a total separation. I think this separation is dangerous long term David. I pray For rethinks this because I have the impression this is not your idea.
Great video David, like many have mentioned, you guys inspired us to make a leap into the RV scene. We’re not full timers but agree with your sentiment regarding nature, that’s what keeps me motivated to push though the routine obligations and get out there in the world!
It's great to see you back on RUclips David! A few years ago, you inspired me to buy my first camper here in Northern Illinois! I love that you have returned to nature and adventure. I really connected with this video because I feel the same when it comes to city life and nature! I think that your dual rig setup is awesome but it doesn't matter what I think about your current setup, ultimately it's what works best for you and your family. I'm a sideline supporter in whatever your decisions are and will continue to follow you wherever you take us. Honestly, I like these videos where you just hangout talk to us lol. All the best and safe travels, Gary
Thanks Gary! I really appreciate the thoughtful comment and it's good to know you like this video format.
-David
So glad your back. I will inform my nephew to start watching you guys they are going full time next year they have been out for about a month. So thanks for being back
Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to see and hear from you guys! Thankful you are doing well. I was really wondering how you were doing. It's totally understandable how people need a change and/or a break from a routine. I'll keep you guys in prayer being back on the road! You've definitely enriched my life as you mentioned in your chat. You helped me understand a bunch about my trailer and camping. I've always loved your creativity and effort from both of you. Thanks for everything! Yay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey cslay! Its good to hear from you again! I've loved seeing people I remember commenting on this video welcoming us back. You and many others have enriched my life too so thank you. I'm so happy to be back traveling, returning to RV life feels like coming home.
-David
So where is Roe? Are you going to sell one of the RV’s then? If keeping the motor home, are you going to tow your truck? Or get a smaller 4 wheel drive? Something doesn’t add up here. Something not right with this re-entry back into RUclips. Part of the story is missing.
We don't know what we're going to do in the future. We have talked about having two rigs for years and we finally decided to give it a try. Roe made it clear she didn't want to be full time again in just our small trailer. We might go to just one larger rig or keep two smaller ones. We're testing this setup out first but so far it's working well.
Very happy you two are back! looking forward to hearing about your travels. At the end of summer we're taking off for a 6 week adventure through NV, ID (fly fishing) Montana (more fly fishing), Wy (Cody Museum and yet more fly fishing) then down to Alton in UT to see Bryce and Zion NP's. You intruduced a good many of us to Boondocking and the apps that help locate some beatutiful off the grid campsites which we will be taking advantage of for a good portion of the trip.
As always, thanks for all the 'tips 'n tricks' of RVing and boondocking...
Good to see you guys back although I’m still wrapping my head around two rigs, but hey whatever works! Safe travels!
I'm just here to see Sweetie
So glad to see you back. Missed you and Roe and your animal family. Hope we see more of you, and maybe you can give us a peek into Roe's rig.❤
This is awesome! Welcome back!
Water tank storage video was awesome. Totally did it in my truck bed, game changer
Heck yeah! We use a lot of water so having a huge reservoir in the truck bed was a game changer for us too.
We are so glad you are back. Y’all have been missed!!!!
WHAT!!!!???!!! OMG the excitement and goosebumps I felt just seeing a new video from you guys was measurable!
That's awesome! I'm so happy it made you so excited!
Yippee!!! We missed you guys soooooo much!!!
So Roe just happens to own an entirely separate RV and is off traveling alone? Not getting the entire story here.
Nothing like ghosting 130,000 subscribers and expecting us to trust them moving forward.
Yea, strange.
I just think it's kind of strange that in their big come back that Roe isn't standing next to him with the explanation. Seems like maybe that's not the whole story🤔
Yeah, I stopped watching the channel the first time it got weird (after watching from the beginning). It looks like it’s only getting weirder.
And I’m not really complaining. Peoples lives change. People themselves, change. That’s the way life works. I wish them the best, whatever the heck is going on.
@@dwderp I kind of got tingly spidy senses when Jenny changed her name to Roe, and chopped off the hair on one side of her head.
Just realized u were back. You were one of the first traveling vloggers I began watching when preparing to start our travels. Glad to see you on here.
She's gone, David. Right? I hope I'm wrong, but suspect I'm not. Please clarify for us all.
I clarified in the video, there's nothing else to say. We're still married, still together and traveling together.
I appreciate your honesty and wish you the best. Welcome back.
I just want to say two things. First, there is no one set way to live. Think of it more as seasons. This is the season for you two to get back on the road and try having two RVs (There is a hell of a lot of upside to this that I think you have not even discussed yet. Like, even though boondocking is safe, it looks WAY safer to have two rigs in a spot than one. breakdowns, theives, etc). Second, the content you put out absolutely makes a difference. I went on the road in 2019 with my family and wanted to be off grid as much as possible. The video you put out on the GoPower inverter/solar install (I think it was a 2-part series), I watched many times over and modeled my system after that. That video gave me the confidence to do something WAY outside of my comfort zone. We were on the road for 6 months and stayed plugged in at a campsite 6 days in total during that time). It was the experience of my life (so far) and brought me so much closer with my kids. For my current "season" I am currently sticks and bricks with two teenagers, divorced, and I am just enjoying being close with my kids and supporting them until they are out of the house. Instead of dreading being a 50-something empty nester (my next season), I am saving and planning. I picked up a new water sport, wing foiling, that I can do anywhere there is wind and water, and plan on selling or renting the house to fund the kid's college and get back on the road in the coming years. Glad you are back on RUclips. I appreciate what you do!
Yeah you are back!!!😊
So glad y’all found inspiration! Have missed you two.
Ahhh, it’s a good day.
so glad you are back. never understood why you left but anyway you are back. Don’t know where you travel but we live near Gatlinburg Tn and have full hookups. my first be build we made a kitchen cabinet or your design
I’m very happy that your back actually missed you guys quite a bit. Congratulations.
Nice to see your smiling face again! Congrats to both of you. Looking forward to watching the upcoming videos.
It’s real nice to see you are back at it again , and that you manned up and gave all of your loyal subscribers the scoop on what’s going on it’s exciting to see how enthusiastic you are about it all and really look forward to your future travels god bless you both 👨🏽🦳
I'm so glad you guys are back! Man do I understand the anxiety of being stuck in the office day in day out. So I'm retiring in 15 days. So looking forward to your new adventures! You do you, and we'll follow along.
Congratulations on your retirement! 15 days, that's incredible!
Welcome back. It's good that you gave city life a try, the camera can be replaced, and thank God for Starlink! Modoc is awesome, an unknown gem... :)
Welcome back!! Hope y'all are happy and healthy.
We ran into the same thing. Hubby still working and needed service. Finally got starlink. Helped so much. He is a computer engineer. You are right about having enough open sky. Its all good though. Glad you are back. Thank you for sharing. Its not all rainbows and unicorns.
So glad to see you back!! Love your video's, the content, DIY, campsites, and ventures. It was good to see Sweetie too. You do a good job at what you do David. One day I'll tell you how you and Roe saved me. Thanks for what you do. Keep living life on your own terms.
Great to see you back David, you were missed by many of us, those that couldn't wait for your next video! I can realize the grind, getting up in the morning and not really feel like either getting B role or videoing, so if you ever feel that way...take a day or two, or even a week off, and video when you feel like doing so! I know the feeling of feeling drained back in my Power Engineering days, where I too wanted nothing to do with it once I left it, and went in another direction as well. Honestly, you are a good spokesperson on RUclips, so it's good that you do feel like getting into it again, and we all look forward to the future video's to come! One of your past video's that comes to mind, which had me somewhat spellbound, was you where travelling in the snow, wondering/worrying if you could make it to the summit (which you did) having possibly most of us on the edge of our seats, hoping for a good outcome. I find it interesting how such video's seem to have their own little cubicle in our minds, but I suppose it's from watching so many of your video's for so long, where some of us start feeling like an extended family, and hoping for nothing but the best for you two! Look forward to whatever you choose to put out for us, and I see you still have your e-bikes (I assume on the motorhome) so venturing out on the many trails, seeing even more locations from the campsites you choose, will be exhilarating! Oh, was wondering if you'll ever be choosing to roam around within Canada David, as our forested roads are much similar, and like the U.S. from Province to Province, the changes are immense with regard to the topography, where generally everyone is pretty easy going?
Welcome back - missed your videos, so glad to see you again! You were the first RV RUclips channel we started following in 2020 before we hit the road Fulltime in Feb 2021.
Welcome back. Excited to see where life takes you guys.
Welcome back, we missed you, the two of us are why we went full time, now that we are on the road hope our next paths cross
I’m so glad to see both of you again!!! You have been missed.
Great to see you guys back!
So happy to see you're back!
It's so nice to see you again. We wish you both all the best of luck. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Twi rigs . Going to be interesting . Good Luck🍀
I am so glad you folks are back. I am yet another that missed you two and what you bring the world.
