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.

    Thank you for joining me for this special topic video 💜 I really enjoy the challenge of making videos like this one and my one on frugal living which you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/2BC2O_Yqvww/видео.html
    Its a challenge because filming nature is what comes naturally to me and while I’m not the most concise I do plan out these video and try to include some nature footage so you’re not just watching me talk the entire time. I hope you find it interesting and I’m looking forward to editing and sharing the three adventure video from Haida Gwaii I currently have filmed. See ya soon!

      I know you’re very busy but maybe you can teach us a few things as you’re doing them, eg. how you make a fire and put it out, how you identify what you forage and how you preserve it, how you handle wildlife that gets too close, how to ‘leave no trace’ etc. Speak to us like we’re completely clueless because some of us really are and would need a guide or mentor. Much thanks and love to you Amanda!❤

Frankie breathing deeply, drifting into sleep with his lil tongue peeking out is so sweet. This was a great looking video and I love that you gave us those wonderful images to look at as you kept talking. Oh, one more comment: I don't feel anything negative or boring when you interject with a promotion for a sponsored product. The main reason is that you never promote something you wouldn't buy yourself, and second, you're very transparent about explaining from time to time how these sponsor deals help sustain your living costs. There are some RUclipsrs who promote every product that comes along and I don't waste my time with those channels.

    I would love more videos like this. Pros and cons of RUclips would be good. Also, more info on the foods you eat, it looks so healthy and yummy. Also...info on safety...most is common sense, but I am sure you could teach me a lot...things I would not even think of. Also...Frank, how do you keep him cool in Summer, warm in winter when he is in the van while you go off hiking. I am sure you need not worry of anyone taking him, he would bark like mad. HAAAAA
    I saw another creator that travels with her dog. She leaves him alone often while she hikes. She had a medical bracelet made, not because she has a condition, but it is engraved saying her dog is in her car, with a license plate number and type/color car in case something happened to her. Cool idea!

    This was a great update. About halfway through I thought "oh, Amanda is an entrepreneur!" While there were times when I thought I wanted to do YT, the more I learn about it the less I think it would suit my nature or interests. I am one of your happy patrons - you are amazingly generous with what you share. I'm grateful I have a life where I can afford to help your creative lifestyle! And - I'm lucky I ordered stickers when I did, I treasure the "live" Frank paw print!

    I have a few You Tubers that I follow each week, and I can honestly say that you are my favorite. Your content is interesting; your story telling, your opinions, observations; your videos are stunning. But this is all true, as *you* are an interesting human/profound. This was extremely interesting, even though I do not plan to become a Y Tuber, I still found it very interesting, all that goes into a life/career such as yours. I would love to hear more stories/videos like this, I think you have a lot to impart. I've said this before, and perhaps I'm in the minority of viewers on this, but I think hearing your reviews/reflections on books you read would be really interesting. I also love it when you explain about the various trees, plants, ecosystems, rocks, geology, etc. that you come upon. Anyway, your channel is top notch! Hugs to you and Frank x

    oh ! YAY harvesting nettles, so yummy and so good for you. I tried them this spring, by making them into my own fettuccine, it was work rolling it thin, but i made a nice Alfredo sauce, to top my cooked noodles and it was amazing. i have also made it into tea, it takes the stress of the day away, very nice and relaxing. foraging is so much fun, glad to see some one interested in it too ! Good video !

    So much depth in this video.

Super good video Amanda. I will patron sometime soon.

    Another RUclipsr mentioned to, "Watch the videos all the way to the end. It makes a difference in the algorithms!!!" So, I do that now!
    Also, I listen to the ads for atleast 10 to 15 seconds beyond the 5 or 10 seconds of when the 'Skip Video' sign comes up. You get money this way! If it is an obnoxious ad, or I've heard it too many times ... I turn the volume down. Or, I let the ad play out - I leave the room to get something, or I'm cooking, or something else.
    I've got your back, Amanda!

    do a video on your power system, cause 4 grand is alot. you are such a smart woman, that isnt always showcased so do more of these videos teaching us stuff, i already know i want the same van for cheap plentiful parts tho i wonder about the gas consumption. a 6 or 8 valve van takes close to what my schoolie prob use in diesal but van much smaller for parking. :)

    Enjoyed your insight on the topic and explaining what RUclips life is like for you.
    I've had this bad relationship with RUclips. I have another channel with almost 10K subs, monetized for 5 years and it feels like I've been blocked online as time wore on. It makes me some money every month but my latest video on that channel was a huge eye opener for me. I can't spend the hours it takes to make pennies again. I will always enjoy filming and creating. I'm just going to spend more time doing what I want to do, opposed to doing what I think the algorithm wants out of me. That BS is over lol. Thanks for sharing.

    • @tidelinetoalpine
      @tidelinetoalpine  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes create for you, the algorithm is a cruel and mysterious mistress 😂 it’s always changing. One day it’s happy with you and next there’s no doing anything right. Infinitely frustrating. It’s definitely a grind but at least if you create what you feel stoked on you’ll always have that and who knows maybe that will end up doing better in the long run.

    38:44 - he really isn’t one of my favorite RUclipsrs but Chrome on vancity vanlife had some real issues with quality when he went through a third party to the point where he got angry and took it over himself. Right now he is still having another company print his merch but he is inspecting and shipping it himself. He is actually working on setting up a shop and buying the equipment to produce his own, in the future so he can insure quality. Once he does that, his shop might be a good one to contract with.

    My other channel is monetized and it is basically a full-time job if you plan on getting anywhere. I don't have any sponsors at this time so all my money is from RUclips ads or a purchase from my website. Last month was my best month ever and I almost made $200 but this month is doing a bit below average with only $20 estimated earnings. Just bought a couple stickers also.
