We are Linnea and Akela. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

I sure hope you're feeling better SOON! Even when you're not feeling 100% you give us 100%! Thank you for sharing your and Chris' journey. I look forward to it always!
I have been so inspired watching you live with your canine buddy in your van. I live with two and I have the same van (extended version) that we travel and hike out of. Recently I added the space under the bed (after watching your van build series) for the dogs and that made such a difference. Now when they are under foot while I’m prepping food they have a place to go. I also took my front passenger seat out and built a platform so they both have room while we’re driving. For some reason the traveling with the pups gave me anxiety but after watching your videos I started realizing not only was it possible but that they could also thrive with the outdoor adventures. Thanks so much
Get well soon 😊 Our bodies let’s us know when we need to rest. Beautiful Sunset thank you for sharing.
Hope you get well quickly! Loved the wild horses, and Akela’s sweet face! Thanks for sharing your life and your adventures with Chris. Give Akela an extra hug!
The horses!! OMG I could have sat and watched them for hours. ❤
Always enjoy watching your videos with my white GSD lying on the bed beside me. I tell him we are watching his cousin, Akela. My boy is called Ajax, but he's also known as Sugarloaf.
Please take care .love all your outdoor adventures .and the footage of scenery and wild horses.
Love how the dawgs want to bunk with you! Get well soon!
Prayers for quick healing♥️🙏🌈🦋
We will send you loving energy and then you will quickly get back on your feet! And also ask your angels to help you so that they can intervene 💕✨💕💖💃😍🥳
Take raw garlic. Put whole cloves in raw honey. Or cut them up. Leave them in a room temp area for a couple weeks. Burp the jar every day. Eat a couple cloves whenever you feel like you are getting sick. You can also add pieces of raw ginger to it.
Healing thoughts....❤🧘
Love and Gratitude!!! Thankyou for sharing!! Highlight of my day!!😊😊😊
It's always nice to have another person around when you are sick. Being sick alone sucks! Get well soon, we are all puling for you!
Ginger and lemon, so cozy and calming. Glad you are taking care of yourself. Kobuck and Akela are such a perfect pair, playful friendship and respectful space, and even loading in the bus to give the horses room to roam calmly, thanks for sharing your journey!
It sucks being sick very draining 😪 glad you have your home made pick me ups ,happy you got to see the horses,absolutely beautiful, take care. Stay safe
So sorry for your situation. Speedy recovery Linnea. We love you 😍
Yes have a day off rest yourself, we all have bad days but take care of yourself always 👍💖
I had this playing and usually skip over the AG1 promotion. As I was distracted, I let it play. Then I heard you mention about how it needs to be refrigerated. I've a similar "greens" powder I take every day too and looked on the plastic container it comes in - holy geebuz!! I was meant to have it refrigerated ! So yeh, you weren't the only one who didn't realise.
Hi thank you for let me travel with you and your dog hope you feel better
Akela has the cutest nose!!!
sweet-loved it/a beauty -wild horses/get well girl/thanks much
I hope you a feeling better soon! Wild horses very cool!!!
Perfect way to start my Sunday!
I enjoyed your video Linnea and i hope you're feeling better very soon and hope have a great week to.
Feel better soon sweetie
YES....a visitation from the wild horses is magical 💜💛!!
Feel better soon sweetie 🙏❤️
Hi Linnea, I'm away on a work trip at the moment and missing my family terribly (only been one night so far lol I see them again tomorrow 😅) but watching this beautiful video brought so much peace and joy and a feeling of home and comfort.
Thank you for sharing your days with us is such a beautiful way!
Lots of love from NZ x
Beautiful video! Hope you are all better soon!
When you opened the van door 😍😍😍
I hope you get well soon, you always look so healthy and lively. Love all the beautiful scenic places you go to with Akela. I just noticed thier is another beautiful beautiful fur baby. Please take care and stay safe.
It helps for an upset stomach as well. I tried it the other day when I think I had a touch of food poisoning. It definitely helped.
Hope you're feeling better soon.That was a beautiful sunset.
Ginger definitely boosts the immune system tremendously. I usually do Ginger and Fenugreek which helps clear the lungs. The horses, what a wonderful experience. I used to see wild horses and burros in southern Nevada but there are so few left that haven't been rounded up. 🌞💯
What a rare and special honor to witness a herd of wild horses! They were so beautiful. 🥰
Wow…the horses, the sunset, the clouds……..just amazing. I hope you are feeling better!
I hope you feel better ❤
Love the angry cutting board :3
My comfort videos ❤ Love it Linnea!
hope you’re feeling better!!
Thanks for your videos❣️ They are real and a big inspiration for me.
Hope you are feeling better soon ❤
Sure does suck when your not feeling to good right. On the bright side you have a beautiful view & the privilege of seeing those beautiful horses, which I'm sure made you feel a little better even for a little while..😊 Take good care&hope your feeling a lot better 🤗❤️
Missed your videos but so glad you had that time in the back country. Hope you are feeling well soon/now!
The energy value of ginger and lemon juice added to hot water is a maximum of 5%.
Get better soon
Ooh sharing peppers too cute ❤
I love the wild mustang groups just outside of my little town of Cody, WY its majestic to see them in their natural habitat. It gets super windy here too. Its almost like you are here, I'm my little backyard. I hope you feel better soon!
indeed she is so cute... 🐾🐾 get well soon girl.🐎🐎🐎🐎
You can scrape the peel off the ginger root with a spoon. No waste. 😘
I make a similar vitamin boost drink, except I boil the ginger and a few spoons of turmeric, then I’ll add fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, a few drops of fulvic minerals, a few drops of nascent iodine, liquid zinc…and a spoon of local honey. It’s magic! I’ll make it when I’ve been around anyone sick as a preventative…and it really does boost immunity. I am going to order your sponsors green juice, too! Feel better
@8:03 best view in the world. 🙂
Chris your hilarious. My son is 35. He does this with me. Has collected Pokemon cards since I can remember. He use to teach the other kids how to play them and hold tournaments. I hope you feel better Llenea. The ginger and lemon helps with your chest and cough. You guys are always my favorite to watch. Have a good day 🙃🙂♥️
hope your feeling better
What girl didn't grow up dreaming of ponies and horses in her life. I rode for years until I got my first at 16. I rode my last at 60. When I see them in the wild, yes we have many in Australia, alpine to desert, I have to stop. 🐎🐎🐎🐎😘
Hope you recover soon!!! The horse's where beautiful. Thanks for sharing!!!
Sitting with wild horses. What an experience. Most people who are sick don't leave their bedrooms. What a life, right? Loved the video.
Bigelow makes a tea I swear by. It is lemon ginger with probiotics. It helps me every time I do get sick. It even helped me through covid in the Spring of 21. I love watching your channel. Of all the ones that I do watch, you are the most authentic. Thank you for sharing with us all. I will be honest but I was really looking forward to hearing more about the hunt. Perhaps when you feel better? I hope you feel better soon and that Chris and the dogs do not get sick. Take Care!
Probiotics are only good if refrigerated
@@sharaswitala6296 Hello Shara, I might believe that if the human body was a refrigerator. All probiotics require proper storage and some are shelf stable, the "storage" labels on products should be strictly adhered to in maintaining consumable safety. SBO (Soil Based Organisms) probiotic is indeed shelf stable. Our naturally occurring human Microbiome and intestinal flora are far from refrigerated. Just a scientific observation on my part. The idea that microorganisms can only exist in a cold environment I find hard to believe when it relates to the human body. We evidently have a difference of opinion and I don't know about you but I do know that I am not a scientist well versed on this subject. I am just using logic, that tells me that if I consume a refrigerated probiotic, it will probably no longer be refrigerated once it reaches my gut making it 'bad' as per your inference.
Hope you feel better soon. Glad you didn't make a fire having a cold you shouldn't be out in the night air and it does sound windy out there. Take care of yourself you too Chris no spit swapping lol. Get plenty of rest. You should have left your dog with Chris so your not disturbed. Love you videos. I am going to check out the AG1.TRENT AND ALLIE use them also. They are previous Van Lifers. Now home in the mountains of Utah take a peek.
Get well soon mate, that was absolutely stunning seeing them wild horses with that beautiful natural light. Thankyou for all your hard work 😊
Lovely video, as always 😍
We do the same drink, but add a dash of tumeric, lots of honey and a TBSP of apple cider vinegar.
Nice!
Chris is a solid dude and fellow Hoosier. Glad to see y’all’s videos
I'm so sorry you're sick. I hope you feel much better soon. WOW ! The horses were amazing, and the sunrise was glorious. Better luck next time with the Pokémon cards!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!! ❤
Feel better sweet girl/ lady/ woman. Let those who are close by and love you nurture you
How'd your mule deer hunt go? Used to hunt mule deer in Utah and Colorado!
Have you considered fundraising in support of the horses and burros that are gathered and then auctioned off of BLM lands in support of turning those lands in the cattle grazing? Those auctions are marketed as adoption events, however they are usually really stockyard auctions and they end up in the kill pins.
Beautiful country. Just got back from the Painted Canyons of Utah. Hope you feel better 💕 take care💕🐾
Hope you feel better soon Linnea!
Eating good vibes, feel better😊♥️
I hope you feel better soon 💕
Hope you feel better soon..💗 we have wild horses on the beach in NC, its illegal to get too close or feed them but of course theres always the one tourist that thinks the rules dont apply to them....
Feel better 🙏❤️
So thrilling to see the wild horses! Hope you feel much, much better very soon! Hugs to y'all :)
Vitamin C vitamin D and zinc you’ll feel so much better 💜💞💖
Love your videos ❤️🙏 prayers for feeling healthy❤️. Be safe
Hope you're doing well Linnea! Try some bone broth or organ meats for more bioavailable vitamins. I wonder if there's still time to can some broth before your winter! Much love to you
Cuddling with a dog when you're sick is about as therapeutic as you can get.
That kind of wind freaks me out....
:) Take care and hope you get well soon! Thanks for sharing and ALL THE BEST!! Had to LOL @ Pokemon cards :) They seem to be all over our house... Grandson and Daughters' delights :) Cheers !!!! :)
I hope you feel better soon Linnea 🙏 Chris is funny lol (Pokémon losers) your kabobs looked so delicious and omg the wild horses. What a beautiful experience to have. I was so happy for you as you sat and watched them. Not everyone gets to live that. I will try your ginger tea with lemon if I ever get sick. Hopefully not soon 😬
I’m glad Akela has a pup to play with her. They are so cute together and living a pups dream 😍 I’m glad you have Chris to share in all your wonderful adventures and thank you for sharing…love your videos 🙏❤️🤗
Dont know if there is any growing where you are now but a salad made of dandelion leaves and purslane leaves could help a cold. just sayin
so nice
Keep your AG1 in a glass jar instead of a plastic container
Add some fresh chopped garlic, some echinacea and some raw honey to that drink. One dose and it fixes me up every single time.
Mullen tinture or tea for the lungs
You’re up the duff❤Chris beat you up there alright
Have you ever looked into Magic the Gathering? Love me some MTG booster parties.
I've been really inspired by your work lately! Do you have any videos/info on your camera/audio/editing setup? Your videos are so beautiful!
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for Campers, Hikers, Explorers, and Travelers*
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
Although, I just noticed your RUclips channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others RUclipsrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their RUclips channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER*
*vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions.
Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months.
Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle.
If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating.
Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures.
Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks.
Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive.
What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed...
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
*Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
Consider installing;
*Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
*Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle.
Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights.
*Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others.
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking.
Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you
If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
*WINTER AWARENESS*
I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services.
Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
*Your Safety is Important*
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
*Safety is Paramount*
*Your Life is Important*
*You want to Live to Travel another Day*
*So Be Safe*
*Stay Alert*
*Keep your vehicle gas filled*
Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
*WINTER AWARENESS*
In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate, make sure that you have a spare tire.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc.
Please Be Safe.....
God Be With You.....

My fiance and I have been looking for land in North Wisconsin and there's a lot of really cheap land up there
Where are you here? Lots of sagebrush. Looks like maybe northern Utah or southern Idaho? Not looking for an exact location.
Hey Linnea, can you tell me what the benefit is to have AG1 as apposed to a good multi Vitamin tablet?
Does anyone know the name of the song around the 15 min mark? It's so beautiful.
