I understand what you said about your dad. I lost my husband 4 years ago, unexpectedly. He woke up with a headache, ended up taking him to the hospital 4 times in a 2 day period, he passed away . Bob had MRSA. Long story, ER Dr. wasn't a good DR.
I feel Bob everywhere with me. We have 2 daughters, I pray they will always remember their dad. My daughters were 10 and 14 when he died. Thank you for sharing your story. I truly love your energy.
I’m so sorry for you and your daughters loss. I’m going on 6 years after the sudden passing of my DH due to an aortic dissection. We were having a regular conversation about where to go for dinner and 7 minutes later the dogs came to get me. He is survived by my son as well. It’s hard and the pain is there every day. Hang in there friend and wishing your family all the best 🙏💙
OMG a woman that draws-burns Morel mushrooms is a true child of nature. Love your adventures and that you are so open with us. Please take care, and enjoy the time with family.
It is always too early to lose a parent. It has been 15 years since we suddenly lost our dad, and I am still riding those waves of grief. Grief is such an interesting traveler. You do not realize until you have a big loss that he has been there the whole time. He has been with you in every moment of joy, excitement, loss, sadness, and dull-drum...dally-ing days. You just did not notice him until he over-takes you and steals your breath. Once you see him, though, you cannot help but notice his presence everywhere. There is a grief expert named Alexandra Kennedy that talks about learning to travel with grief. ...learning to take grief's hand and walk through life with him in order to not be bowled over by his presence in the big moments by appreciating him in the small moments. That is how I like to ride the waves of life's ups and downs. I ride them hand-in-hand with joy and grief. We walk together in appreciation of this beautiful, short, painful, abundant, treasure of a life.
@Linnea - Oh WOW!! This vid had so much. It was like a summary of your life up to Now. LOVE your Mom! She's so great. And I understand the part about your dad. My dad will have past 3 years this Oct. It's so great that both you and your mom are going on adventures. Can't wait to see what happens next! Stay safe out there!!
I can relate to your pain about your dad. I lost my dad almost 5 years ago and my heart still clenches up when I think of him. It is especially hard because I'm an only child and my dad was one of my best friends. We shared many of the same hobbies and spoke on the phone nearly every day. PS. Will Akela, Chris & Kobuck be joining you in Bali?
Great Art! I'm impressed👌 Remember artists chase a vision of what they want something be and people that see it as is thank it's beautiful. Even if we nit pick it because growth and improvement is a constant quest for us.
I love your art!👍😁 Wood burning is becoming a lost art. You could sell you work for $$$.
What tripod did you get?
My dad died in a plane crash, out private plane, when I was ten on Father’s Day weekend. I came home from a Girl Scout sleepover with a book for him about airplanes and my mom told me about the accident. I can tell you that it is something that stays with you forever. The tail wing is mounted in my living room after 35 years in our garage not as a weird morbid thing but because he built it himself and loved flying so much and it makes me feel close to him (even when I hit my head on it haha). Take care, I wish you the best.
Crying listening to you talk about your dad❤️knowing him personally was truly an honor. He was an incredible human with a smile always on his face
❤Love seeing a glimpse of your life at home! I lost my Dad suddenly as well, and it is a heartbreaking loss that is life changing. But you are right about feeling close to him in nature; I’m sure your Dad would be very proud of you doing what you love!
I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending you positive vibes.
I hate being a part of this "group"! For me, as a daughter, losing my Dad, it has been paralyzing. I've been in the deepest, darkest depression ever since he passed away. This video helped me to realize that my Dad would NOT want me to be living this way. He always lived his days to the fullest. As an only daughter with four brothers, we had a very special bond. He made me feel like a princess & as though I was his entire world for as long as I can remember. I often find myself still wanting to call him. I used to call him for everything. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that you are doing far better than I am. It's the greatest loss I've ever experienced so I know the pain that you speak of. I hate that anyone has to know such a tragedy. In my thoughts & prayers. I'm sure he is proud of you! ❤ 🙏🏻 🕊
I'm out on the road now in my ambulance build 🚑. Just my dog and me. I'm loving the adventure, but it does come with its challenges. Thank you for all your insight, honesty and inner strength. Sending my love, hugs to your wonderful Mom. ❤🐾❤🐾
My dad just passed away. Not tragically. Not young. But I now know what that loss feels like. Not the same as you. But parental loss. I’m so sorry we both lost our dad’s. My dad will continue to shape me as well. Hugs to you as you share your life with us! 🥰Kim
You should be proud of your van build! You did such a great job. I feel proud of you and I never met you! You and your Mom have such a loving relationship and thanks for sharing about your Dad.. that had to be hard for you. Both your trip and your Mom’s sound amazing. Enjoy your family time! ❤
I've always loved and admired your journey. Today you touched my heart with your "giving credit where credit is due,” salute to Mom and Dad. Oh how I ache at the loss of my parents. They, like yours, were my North. Everything I am and everything I've earned, I owe to their support, guidance but most of all unconditional love. Linnea, your eyes when you talk about your identity clearly show your love and appreciation for your parents. Your heart and your adventurous spirit are them. Living your life to its fullest is the best way to show Mom, and yes Dad, they raised you right. You are an inspiration to this 65 year old girl. P.S. your wood burning is beautiful.
Well said!
Ditto well said I'm 61 and terminally ill and Linnea is such an inspiration and gives me hope for this generation!!Love and Gratitude!!!
Thank you for sharing your dad with us. My dad passed 17 years ago, I think of him often, and miss him so much. I love remembering him.
Your mom is amazing. ❤
I too, was a Division 1 athlete, and as I left college I started running, cycling , so I completely understand your drive. Now all of those college injuries are catching up to me, but the one thing that I still have is cycling. It makes my unhealthy knees feel better, I have a sense of accomplishment when I achieve my goals. I have weights, a pullup bar, and suspension straps at home... and that takes care of the rest of me. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Linnea, for being so wholesome, down-to-earth, and real. As someone who doesn't watch much RUclips and barely looks at social media anymore (because it leaves me feeling bad mentally), I truly appreciate your content. Thank you for being you and sharing all your adventures. Much love to you and Akela! 💜
Thank you for being vulnerable Linnea, you are heard seen and loved here in this awesome community you made in the comments. I lost a parent young too so you’re not alone. You’re lucky to have such great parents because your such a kind, genuine, funny person! Wishing you all the best back in your re-integration with society haha ❤️❤️
AND OMG YOURE AN AMAZING WOODBURNER! What can’t you do?!
Great random video with lots of fun nuggets! Thanks for sharing about your Dad. I’ve been following you from the start so I knew but this still choked me up. No doubt he was amazing and a big part of who you are. When your ready, I’d love to see some photos. I’m enjoying your moms appearances! Hugs💝
Your mama is beautiful. She's about my age. Today is 4 years since my father passed. He's with me too. I've wathed you for awhile, thinking you had your father along on each adventure in your heart. He is very proud of you. You are who you are because you grew up surrounded in love and support. I get how death shapes us. Love to you sweet girl.
♥️♥️♥️
@@Linneaandakela 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜☮
It's been 3yrs for me yet it feels like yesterday. It doesn't get easier. I hate how my Dad's death has shaped me but after watching this video I felt my Dad speaking louder to me than ever. He was always doing something, living life to the fullest & Linnea reminded me that my Dad would want me to be actually living instead of just existing. I wish she could see herself how we see her. I've also been following her for a while now & every one of her videos has so much meaning, intent & thoughtfulness in them. You can see & feel her authenticity, her heart & happiness is each & every video & THIS is why I love watching her. It's what sets her apart from others. My deepest condolences for your loss. I hope you're living your best life in honor of your Dad. I'm going to start working on some major changes in mine thanks to this video. Just reading your comment reminds me that we're all really not alone in this world thanks to people like Linnea. Best wishes for a beautiful life!
Your videos always bring such a sense of calm and inspiration. Much love!
My mum passed 3 months ago very suddenly at just 68 years old. I haven't even begun to accept it yet but starting counselling today. I just love the warmth and love that oozes from you and your mum and through that I can see how your dad would have fit into that life. What a very special family you are! Much love to you all xxx
I just adore your mom!!! The happy positive vibe you both have is so refreshing in this world we live in!
Your mom reminds me of me, just younger! I once traveled with an Australian that called us sturdy girls. Pretty cute
I don’t know how you got through the part with your dad. I lost mine 5 years ago as well and hearing you talk about yours made me cry . I miss him everyday but like you said he is also with me everyday. ❤😊
No matter how old you get to be you will always need and miss your Daddy. I'm 81 now and I sometimes think how I need to talk to Daddy. Now I'm crying for me and you. Hope you have a great summer. I wish when I was younger that people were living like you do now, I get jealous as old as I am, no I couldn't I'm use a walker but I can enjoy all of your trips.
Hearing you talk about your dad made me tear up. It sounds like he and your mother shared the same love of the outdoors, nature & adventure and instilled that in you. As you live your life enjoying all the things he loved, you honor him. His legacy lives in you, your brothers and even your sweet mother. Love never dies. God bless you all.❤️
It might have been a random video to you, but it was an eye opening journey into your life and thoughts. Stay safe in your travels. Have the best time in Bali, it's so beautiful there and laid back.
Young lady you go and you get all the adventures that you can possibly get and go to all the places that you can possibly go to because there could be some day in your future that an ailment happens to hit you and you're down. I don't say this to get you down I say this from experience. I was an adventurer oh, I went places and did things that would make some people throw up I also ate some things that would make people throw up but I did that trying to overcome my plate fright and I did. So you, go see the world, do something you've never done before or better still do something that you think is going to scare you because that's how you find out Who You Are. Enjoy! Look forward to your next adventure. PS, you are absolutely right about your dad because my wife is always there beside me especially when I'm trying to cook. I'm not that bad of a cook but when I try to cook like she does and try to change the ingredients of little she has literally stuck me with something and made me drop whatever I was holding. Y'all can believe it or not I don't care I was there. So you're right there there with you and enjoy it for as long as you can feel them there.
You are such an open and loving daughter. Your words of appreciation for your parents are heart warming. ❤
😍 Will you show us a picture of your Dad sometime? He sounds like a wonderful person. You mom is A+ awesome! Wood burning art looks incredible!
Thank you so much for this video as a transition out of the North Woods and onto the next adventure. Watching your videos is like sitting with a good friend tell stories in their living room over coffee. Can't wait to see what more the world holds for you, Chris, Akela and Koebuck.
Thank you for sharing about your dad. Was very moving. I cried. 🧡
Beautiful video Linnea.. Your mum is such a sweetie 😊❤️
I. LOVE. YOUR. MOM!
She is fantastic!
Along with you, of course, you are always fantastic!
She's recently come into the videos and I've seen where you get your spunk and creativity.
We keep up with you too :)
I love watching the progress on your wood burning piece. That slab of wood is gorgeous and you are so talented. I always enjoy when your Mom is on your vids too. How exciting that you are going to Bali to hike! Can’t wait to see footage and photos!
I was stunned at your wood burning! Wow, that was truly amazing! You are gifted! I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I know the feeling. I recently lost mine, Its rough. Hugs. Now more wood burning! And archery too!
So sorry for your loss. I know this loss & it's horrible. 🙏🏻 🕊 💗
@@paige6028 thanks. Its a part of life though right? Hugs!
I lost my Dad in 2006. Every thing I am is because of him! My Dad was like your Dad!!! It is amazing to hear someone else tell a loving story of their father!!!
Planet Fitness is everywhere….showers, toilets, etc
I'm so sorry for your dad Linnea. I also lost my dad in an instant and it thoroughly changed me as well. You're right, he is always with you!
I randomly and frequently come across nickels (his name was Nick) there has been times were I finish cleaning a counter or something and look over it and there's a nickel, right where I had just wiped. It always makes me feel like he's close. Do you get anything like that? ❤️
I was able to build my van by watching you go balls to the wall! Loved my Kreg jig:)
For the record I love when you show things like forgetting food in your fridge, or the pan in the drawer you forgot to wash because it reminds me that I’m not the only one. That none of us are perfect, but we can all still be happy and proud of ourselves. Thank you for always sharing the realness of life. ❤️
Wow is there anything your can’t do?! Love watching your adventures! ♥️♥️
Lost my Dad suddenly 2 years ago too. Love that man to pieces & I am living my life for him & doing what I love to do while I’m young and able for him. Tomorrow is never promised!!
You bring a lot to the table. Thank you for sharing! Be safe and enjoy!
Your artwork is stunning! Loved this hodge podge video.
Akela knew the minute you began talking about your dad to check on you. She feels and loves you so much!! Precious ❤ You're an amazing lady and inspire myself and others!!! ❤
I am probably the least adventurous or competitive person on the planet, but I have found such great joy following your adventures. Thank you for sharing your humanity, family, as well as your wanderlust! I hear and see you, Linnea, for all you are.
Oh Linnea any talk about dads makes me cry 💔💔🥹🥹 I had the best dad and lost him 26 years ago 💔💔 you are an amazing artist wow !! I’m your Mom’s age and an ultra trail runner as well 😊 her nice knitted sweater tells me she’s a knitter too , huge love from a happy desert camper/trail runner/knitter all the way from Kuwait ❤❤❤❤ can’t wait for your next episode
Family time is so important. I love to see you and your mom together. I’m sure your dad loves to see the both of you together from where he look’s down. ❤ thank you for sharing your life with us.
Love watching the adventures and your love of nature and family.. Your art is amazing me.can not wait to see your finished work 😊
I honestly thought I was the only one who has felt like this over sports and competing. I was a softball player and lost my full ride scholarship due to injury and haven't been able to compete since due to not being able to heal from the injury properly. The grief of not being able to be who you have been for so long is almost like losing someone in your life. Thank you for being so open and honest about this because I thought I was alone. You actually made me cry when I felt the release of sadness of thinking I was being irrational. I love your videos and started at the beginning and am trying to catch up still. Keep Being the best you that you can be! Such an inspiration.
I stumbled onto CrossFit in 2011, in a co-worker’s garage gym. Over the years he turned it into an actual box and we helped him build it. It was like family in a way. When I moved away, I still went to gyms and kept my fitness level. But then I had a baby and during that pregnancy I was given (turns out) wrong advice by my midwife to quit CrossFit. That led to a 6 year break from working out. I started back one year ago and I am still not back to where I used to be. I completely relate to the humbling feeling and to swearing it will never happen again.
I totally understand your sentiments about your dad. I am so sorry for your loss, but glad you still can feel him with you on your journey. I lost my infant daughter 3 months ago. It’s been indescribably crushing and will be for my whole life, but the connection is so strong to her she is still with me everywhere I go. She is especially with me in the forest because that is where I would go with her every day when I was pregnant, so I hike into tropical forest where there are no humans everyday and I feel her intensely in all of natures magic.
:) WOW to your wood burning skills and artwork! LOVE the Mushrooms and Owl :) ALL the BEST and THANKS SO MUCH for sharing! Glad Togo is back and ready to go! Cheers ! :)
I just found this older video I did not watch earlier and I want to say that you are such a gifted and talented woman! I know the problem of being very harsh with myself and I always have to work on it, all my life, and I am in my 50s now. You are gifted and you should always live your creative thoughts. This is the best way to heal.
I am so sorry about your dad passing away. I think he would be really proud of the women you are. Your right, your never alone, hes always with you. Thank you for being open with us. I understand you leaving him out of things because when you talk about it, you feel that pain again. Also your art is stunning.
Good Morning Beautiful Heart! Do you know that you are an inspiration to others? Your honesty is brave of you. It so interesting when we find a window inside of ourselves that we didn’t even know was there. WAIT… it’s way too early for something that deep😄😉 . Just thinking of you and wishing you Happy Days! I’m proud of you Kiddo.
Meeting your mother tells me exactly where you got you snap, crackle and pop... two very personable, engaging women... from the same family.
Family is so important, & fortunately, it seems, as I did, you have a wonderful one. Even though some one or all of the family is gone, I believe their memories influence us still. I enjoy watching your experiences, adventures, your Mom, brother(s), Chris, & the 2 pups.
Thank you for for sharing all the bits, and your beautiful, raw candor with, well ,everyone.., my Dad is passed and ... i see you, I'm with you . ty
2 comments, first I loved watching your wood burning designs of the mushrooms and the owl. Second I completely understand the loss of identity without athletics. In my case I had to take early retirement and my job was my identity for 25 years. When I retired I didn't know who I was for a while. Keep it up 😊
All the best..chris
Do you have merch for sale? I saw your red sweatshirt and would certainly buy one if available! Love all your videos… my life is so boring compared to you.. I have a corporate job and big house but every week can’t wait to see your videos… My Shepard Zeus and I would love to even have a quarter of the adventures you have… maybe someday 😍… you guys are the best! That is next to Elsa and Barron … lol… kidding of course 😂
I loved Ag1 and how it made me feel, but i have a VERY sensitive stomach and after a week, i couldn't even swollow it without puking or dry heaving. I so wish i could!!
You are an amazing young woman Linnea! So talented, smart, accomplished, caring and kind! Thank you for sharing a bit about your amazing dad also 💔. You are correct that he will always be with you!
New to channel. Fascinating to watch you self analyze and interpret yourself and share. Those are sUper skills. I wonder how inspiring just that is to many watching. I hope you self protect to, putting so much out there to the crazy world. Artist myself, so another layer to the onion that is you! Of course you set aside the art when living was intense... but maybe think of small scale that would work in the wild life...I dont know...netsukes or bracelets or something. Be well.
Wanted to make sure you’ve learned about a tool called a “nail set.” It’s a little chisel thing that is pointy at the end. Your finish nail head goes inside a little cup and then you hit the other fat square end with the hammer. I saw you trying to hit the nail in the live edge at a slant, and I’ve tried that too, and screwed up the bark, so wanted to just offer that to you. I think you’re awesome and you’re one of the vanlife people I never miss. Just went full time in my 2019 Ram that I got used in Colo….Such a kick ass time! Thanks for all you do!
Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? The moment I saw those incredible mushrooms coming to life, I had to let you know how amazing your work is. Just wonderful on the Walnut.
I really hope you are proud of your self. So as a Mum to a strong amazing 17yr old young lady who lost her Dad (her best friend) last year, this is the media I share, not the "celeb gossip" etc, strong women like yourself, so much respect ❤
Hola from Spain! I love to hear about the Camino se Santiago on your video today… but you mention that it was in Portugal…? It’s not.
That maybe another Camino, Santiago one is a very important “Monument” in the North of Spain… your mum is going to love the food and landscape.
I love your mum so give her lots of hugs/kisses since if I a dad wasn't a about I am sure my wife would love that a lot from my son.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤♥
I'm always jealous of people who had a good dad. Especially women. I'm sorry you lost him, but I'm glad he was worth mourning. All the love.
Message to Mom...PLEASE video your camino trip. I really want to do that with my sister in the near future.
Make sure you say hi to Emilio Estaves and his dad when walking the Camino will you start in Saint John or Paris will you walk all the way to Moshia to the sea and see the shrine should be a great trip. The Way was a great flick. It only takes 2 weeks and then it is a battle back at the gym for almost a month. Yes, you WILL!! let it happen again. So you have talent as an artist. Chris, I think you did well she passes the PapaTony test not that you care.
Funny. I'm also doing the Camino. I just decided on it this morning. Maybe Mom can share her trip on a podcast afterward?
Your wood art is awesome.i enjoy watching you and your travels. My husband and I did that on our motorcycles, camping.
I lost my Dad suddenly and tragically in November 2022. No one has been able to articulate how his life and his loss has shaped me in the way you did. Ty for sharing. ❤
Thank you for sharing new corners of yourself with us. You're a beautiful soul and, while no one can truly know any of us completely, it's so inspiring to see someone so sure of themselves and who they are even as they explore the unknowns. Thank you so much
beautiful!! x
I would love a start of your sourdough. I have been wondering how to get a start. We ate sourdough pancakes every weekend when I was young. Would love to have one to make memories with my grand babies!
Thank you for sharing your heart and baring your soul. Endless gratitude to the beautiful parents that gave you a strong and loving foundation that you are now building a most exquisite life. A truely lovely sharing this video.
Hello love, I've been trying to find out if AG1 is safe for a person with type 2 diabetes, do you know?
Yes I see you love art, you have an eye for detail and your wood burning is truly amazing , the owl blew m mind so detailed so Linnea you have a wonderful gift for anything you draw or burn so thanks for sharing 💖👍
I always really enjoy your content and this is no exception. You are incredibly inspiring and I have really enjoyed watching your videography and editing change and grow. Your mushrooms are beautiful, always make time for that creative outlet and self-care. Thank you for taking the time to share your life with us and showing us all parts of your nomadic life. ❤️
Well said.
One more thing I absolutely love your wood burning It is beautiful I wish I had that talent You are very talented
Beautiful wood burning. The mushrooms and the Barred owl are impressive!
I swear with every video you reveal more and more just how strong you are as a person. Forever a fan, thank you for sharing with us.
Linnea, can I purchase your AG1 from your link, and have it come to Canada?
Honey, be honest...I've watched your channel long enough to know that you hate cleaning. I've seen you use the same pan for cooking for weeks without washing it. And you let it sit on the counter. ITS you. And it's ok
My dad is everywhere too. I choked up hearing that but we are lucky to carry them after they carried us for so long.
Hey beautiful girl God bless you with very kind heart Mom nice vlog 🥰
Love your videos! So inspiring
Love the videos,stay safe. Love your stories. ❤️ can’t wait for the bread recipe.
I TOTALLY GET YOU. I PLAYED SPORTS IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL AND FOR OUR TOWN AND I STARTED EXERCISING RELIGIOUSLY WHEN I TURNED 18. AROBICS AND WEIGHTS. AND THEN I STARTED GOING TO THE GYM. ITS A PART OF YOUR IDENTITY. ITS ALMOST LIKE ITS A PART OF YOUR DNA. I WAS ALSO COMPETITIVE. I LOVED THE PRESSURE OF COMPETING. I LOVED MY MOTORCYCLE, MY OFF ROAD FUN VEHICLES AND THEN IN 2010 MY WORLD COMPLETELY CHANGED. I WAS ONLY IN MY EARLY 40'S. I HAD A FREAK ACCIDENT WITH MY KNEE THAT DEVELOOED INTO THIS NON CURABLE DEBILITATING DISEASE AND WORKING OUT ONLY MADE MY BODY WORSE BECAUSE NOW I HAD LIMITATIONS. I WENT INTO DENIAL AND PUSHED MY BODY TOO FAR ONLY MAKING THE DISEASE WORSE. I WAS SO CONVINCED THAT IF I KEPT TAKING GREAT CARE OF MYSELF BY KEEPING IN SHAPE THAT THIS DISEASE WOULD GO AWAY. HUGE DENIAL! LASTED 8 YEARS. SO HERE I AM NOW, 13 YRS LATER AND ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I CANT EXPRESS THE PAIN YOU ENDURE WITH THIS DISEASE. BUT MY POINT IS I HAD TO DO SOME FORM OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY UNTIL I JUST COUKDNT DO IT ANYMORE. I MISS IT SO SO MUCH.
So sweet. Don't ever take for granted the time with your parents. Mine are in their 80s. Love on them!
This made me miss my Mom SO much!
Cherish EVERY Second with each other❤
That was Kool.. thanks for sharing 👍🏼 Stay Strong 🏋♀️
Hello, my wife and I travelled to all most van lifers went to in the USA in 2008-2011. Can not image videoing that journey....would have been a completely different experience.
I’m so glad that I get to :)
Kiss, and kiss and kiss your mum! Time is going very fast. I love your videos, Linnea.
