We are so happy to hear from you guys again! WOW! So much love and support from you is so overwhelming. Sincerely... THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤ Questions we are getting from the video: * Apps we use to book hard sites? That would be Wandering Labs and Campnab
Hi! You won't remember you but I'm your NC neighbor! Everything about you two has been a blessing in my life! Why? I'm OLD, a Widower and truth is I lost my zest for life. Your videos have inspired me to live again! After 8 years of laying my keys down, selling my vehicles not traveling and a decade of depression. I re-certified my driving license , bought a vehicle and am now building it into a Camper or Rubber Tramp Home on Wheels! You inspired me to travel again, so Thank You! My hope is to one day cross paths with you! Continue to pass your Blessing on...
You have made our day with this comment. This is one of the best reasons to keep doing our videos. It would be a honor to meet you on the road and we would love to see your Rubber Tramp home on Wheels. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I am on old Florida gal... moved to Virginia with my husband when I was 45 years now 70 love Virginia. One part of Florida that does get overlooked is central Florida state parks and national parks and many other sights...my personal fav is Ocala parks... we have so many springs that are both state and national parks. Most everyone goes to Costal Florida, but central Florida has as much, if not more, to offer than Costal. I do hope you enjoy Florida... my grandkids and great grandkids are still there. Live to make you happy because we are watching from afar and love seeing yall so happy.
We also love central Florida… we normally travel all around Florida hitting the central part as well ass the coast, but this year we stayed around the coastal area. We also enjoy the panhandle.
Ya know, sometimes a shorter video is more fun to watch than a long video. Sometimes we might skip over a long video from one RUclipsr and look at a shorter one from a different RUclipsr because a shorter video is easy, it fits into any time frame. Maybe making shorter videos would be easier for you to make and still super fun for us to watch. Oh, and by the way, we love videos on the Florida Keys, especially Key West. Before we were van lifers we vacationed down there for 20 years straight. Now we've been heading out west to New Mexico, Arizona and California and having fun there too. But Key West is such a HOOT! Love it. We also enjoy following you and though we are not big commenters we have followed you for three years or so. Take care. Do what feels right for you.
Owen and Lynn, we all are thankful for the videos that you have created. We hope you find balance, and most importantly make the time to spend with your family, especially your elders. We are fellow EKKO owners, so we really like to hear about your hits and your struggles when it comes to the strengths and weaknesses of the EKKO platform. Be well and keep living the dream!
We know you were struggling with the alternator, I hope you have gotten the 174 campaign completed. We are heading to Florida and having it done at FreedomVanGo next month.
Love you two and have missed you! Suggestion…. more of Owen and Lynn cooking 😍 Love seeing what beverage Owen is drinking and will put in the skillet for dinner. The best thing you can share with us is you being you when YOU want to.
Happy to see you . . . I love your videos because you are real - seeing how active you are, your meals - no drama is perfect and I look forward to you sharing on your own time. Enjoy your time in the Keys!
I laughed out loud when you mentioned needing to burn your van to get viewers. I'm after enjoyment and education on youtube vs the BS and sensationalism that seem to be increasing. Keep up your great work, I love learning about new places to travel to.
Prayers for your Mom! We will watch your interesting videos anytime you can do them. Enjoy your trip, We are looking forward to seeing your adventures in Florida and beyond!!
Good for you, telling us the real stuff! It's ok to slow down and do family stuff and tge notifications and watching you recording on our schedule and your schedule is good.
Please don’t stress too much about algorithms. I don’t watch videos for the drama, I will avoid those at all costs. I enjoy watching you for the travels and Happy tails, and appreciate how honest and real that you portray your lives, on the road or not. Also, I have never been on fb and never will, and am not missing a thing. I am planning to start traveling soon and love watching how it can be done. I live in NC too. Love seeing Maggie. I hope you continue to do what you love to do.
Glad to hear you’re doing well 👍 We just got back from our 17 Day trip to Key West and back. We camped at The KOA at Mile Marker 20 and also lucked out and got one night In Bahia Honda State Park and had a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean 🏝️. Safe Travels.
I enjoy your videos. They are a delightful way to unwind after work. You videos and other rv channels are my way to leave the drama behind. God bless and give you and your wife wisdo.❤️
Love you the way you are! Please take care of yourselves, that is most important. I got so much out of your Alaska videos and followed in your footsteps in 2022.
It is always great to see your videos. I do understand it is a lot of work to get a video out. Balance is very important, family in important. I enjoy looking at the places you travel to, the equipment & toys you brought.
Don’t stress you guys…you don’t have to be fancy…you don’t have to have drama…just be you and share a bit of your travels. We enjoy watching and you have inspired us!!!
Fianaly an honest video. I look for videos that show the fun side of rving. I get enough drama I don’t need any more. I know things happen while traveling but so what that’s life. Keep showing your trips and add some comments on your stay at various campgrounds. If you back off to 2 videos a month I’ll still look forward to them. Happy travels.
Loved your video today your honesty and keeping it real is what I find so enjoyable. We all are getting older you sharing that helps others like me. Keep up the great work as long as you want to.
I'm so glad you all are okay! I have to admit that I checked to make sure I didn't accidentally unsubscribe. I figured you have life going on like everyone else. What attracts me to your channel is that you don't blow anything out of proportion and are naturally entertaining.
We love you guys. Whatever you do will be of interest to us! We recently traveled in the keys and visited two places we think you might enjoy. Maggie is also welcomed there! Windly Key has an excellent State Park with trails and history, and Crane Point Hammock will blow you away! I can recommend the fish pedicure highly.
We love watching your videos because of their drama free and real, do not change. We have way too much drama or so call drama in the world. Just continue being yourselves because we need more of what you guys provide in the world.
We love your videos and are happy you are not doing the drama or click bait. I see too many channels changing their thumbnails to “click bait” which is sad. People watch you for what you share not based on what RUclips wants you to do. Take a life balance break and produce what you can.
You folks need to make sure you are alright. We love the videos and love it when a new one is posted. When you are ready to post a new video, we will be watching! There's only one Owen, Lynn and Maggie, and I am sure most if not everyone on here will agree with this.......please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Oh and Owen, can you put more of your tunes in the videos? Take care and God Bless!
We have missed you. We watch your videos because they’re drama free and low key. We’re interested in seeing the three of you set up camp, relax by the fire, finding good places to eat, watching Owen make his good dinners, talking about what your plans are for the next day. This is how we camp and that’s how we relate to you and your videos. We really enjoy the relaxing music you add to your adventures and we always enjoy seeing sweet Maggie. You are like camping with family. We understand your need for family and time to yourselves and will be happy to follow your adventures in however you decide is best for you. Safe travels!
Just keep being you and do what YOU want to do! Ditch the parts that are so onerous. Forget the hard deadlines. Keep sharing your lives and those that wanna follow…will. So appreciate your down to earth transparency! 👏
Great explanation. I watch because I enjoy your travels. I stopped watching a popular ekko travelers who videos starting adding too much drama and click bait. It turned me off. I really enjoy your videos. They keep me engaged and leave me feeling happy, not stressed.
Keep it fun; keep it real. I e noticed I am not getting vids from channels I’ve been subscribed to for a very long time. Seems we are just getting what YT decides to show. Also know that quite a few channels we ,ve followed have given up FB. We’ve never joined that nir have any interest. Both retired from high level tech jobs and employers always discouraged FB for professional reasons.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and for being so vulnerable, especially about aging and the pressure to assure you are using your time wisely. Certainly shows how genuine you both are. My wife and I are traveling in a Travato and watching your videos helped us get there. Thank you for that. Best of luck as you continue to find your balance.
I hear you! If RUclips ever becomes a "job" to me, then eh... That is a huge number of videos to post in 7 years! It still has to be fun for me. No deadlines. I think people will watch you no matter when you post and no matter how often. Hang in there and do what makes you happy!
It’s ok 😊 if you choose to stop posting travel videos. You two have shared so much over the years, and it’s been a blast to watch you two and Maggie. Not all good things are meant to last forever, and it’s ok. Live your life’s as you need to. Thanks again for sharing so much over the years. I wish you both the very best in all you choose to do. Take care😊❤️
Love your videos and I for one (and actually expect many) appreciate the lack of drama. I wish the algorithm was different. Please just continue to just be you and to do so on a schedule that works for you!
We are headed to the Keys for the first time. A three week trip, with a lot of stops. Just got the last two nights booked at Curry Hammock this morning (CampNab.) NOW I’m excited!! You can show videos of the same places over and over. There’s always something new, and I will watch!
Proud that you are acting on what is important to you! Celebrate you ❤ We are only given this one life. Happy you are thinking about how YOU want to live it. Take care friends.
I am so proud of both of you! Guess What? It's your life, not ours and certainly not RUclips's. I'm 68 and know for sure that family (not viewership) becomes increasingly more important and "drama" just needs to disappear. Having purpose becomes paramount as we age. Let's face it - aging sucks. Sounds like your purpose lives closer to home and Owen's Mom. Best of Luck figuring it out for yourselves.
As someone who lives in Florida, I’d like to see more videos of North Carolina 😊. So as much as I love seeing your videos of our beautiful state, I’d like to see a few more of your state. The mountains, beaches, even the little lake in your backyard. Don’t stress about putting out videos, do what you love and this week or next week if it’s not putting out a video then that’s OK. 😊
well, you have wiggled your way into SO MANY people's hearts by being authentically YOU. Please know that you always speak to us where we feel ya. Its great inspiration to many to see you out and about.. there is so much to this country to be seen from the road. I personally LOVE your cooking segments and when I see the happy dance, I know I gotta try it! Do what feels right as far as "balance". You are right.. you will never regret time spent with those you love. Do that! and know you hav already bettered many peoples lives. We will take all we can get in the future.... got my notifications set!
We are all on a journey through life, everyday is another journey in life. Be thankful that we continue this journey. My 97 year old mother use to say each day off to another adventure. So true and safe travels, your videos are great.
Y’all don’t stress! This is suppose to be fun and exciting. Owen I jus lost my mom, she turned 92 right before her death. Focus on family it is important. Just wanted you to know we got excited this weekend when we saw a Ecko at Edisto Beach this weekend and thought I might be y’all! Hope to see y’all on the road. We would really like to meet y’all someday. Be safe and see you on the road!
Do what is best for you and family, you can make another change later too if you need. My husband and I enjoy your channel and love your content. We are big fans. We'll enjoy your videos when they come out, we don't care if it's the same location, we love your spirit, your story.... we love you, Owen and especially love Maggie. ❤ You all inspire us and hope to get a RV and travel like you all do 😊
You all do what YOU want to do. It's not like you rely on RUclips for income. You are good, fun people and I'll watch wherever you go. I've never been to the keys and would love to see what you do. Enjoy RETIREMENT! Hang in there.
Owen and Lynn today is the first that we watch your videos in a few months and then we ran into you yesterday at John Pennekamp! Now that is a sign..a good one as far as I am concerned! Your right..Just do you and keep having fun at your own pace! Benton and Jennifer
We love you because you are so positive! Don't overthink what you are doing as you are just sharing your story and it is your channel - put out what makes you happy and if it doesn't don't do it ❤
Thank you for sharing your hearts with us on this subject. In my opinion life balance is as important as anything else in our lives. The fact that you have well over 20k subscribers is a testament as to how many people you have already inspired with myself being one of them. Do what makes your hearts happy and you can’t go wrong. Thanks for letting us tag along this far and I sincerely hope that you find joy in your travels moving forward. I think the musician Bobby McFerrin said it “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. Safe travels.
I love your videos. I’m mostly a silent watcher because I watch on TV. I just wanted you to know that I love the videos and I love seeing the places you go. I hate for you to stress over it. If you put out 10 a week or 1 a month, I will still watch. Don’t stress over it do what you love to do! Life is too short ! God bless !
This video is why I like watching your channel. Straight forward good people. Me personally, I never get tired of seeing scenery and watching hikes & bike rides. Have fun guys! Thanks for sharing your adventures and yourselves with us. You always brighten my day.
Please don’t stress. I have often wondered about the sustainability of these channels, knowing the amount of time and effort it takes to produce the videos. We love them, but work-life balance is important. Personally, I don’t need drama. I love when you share your campsites, hiking, time with Maggie. Those videos help us plan our trips; it helps us screen which SPs, etc are good to see.
Thank you for the lack of drama. You are struggling because you care about the quality of the product you are producing. Looking forward to more Keys content.
I think removing the Sunday deadline is a great idea! Hope that relieves some of the stress! I’ll watch your videos whenever you post them! I have the bell on so I should get notified. Please don’t stop doing RUclips whatever you do! I’ll miss seeing Maggie! Oops, I mean I’ll missing seeing y’all! 😆
Hey yall- enjoy your videos- It doesn't get boring if you concentrate on the photography and the music. Forget the cooking and drama. I just like to see new places to see if I'd like to go there myself. I'd recommend one every two or three weeks with some lovely scenery like the recent canada stuff. Cheers!
Hi you two, I just finished watching the Alaska Recap video AGAIN! Best Alaska video for information for myself, I hope one day you will be on the road north once more but I understand how the health of family members weighs on us. Since my husband has passed, I struggle also with the solo issue but will not let it keep me down. Alaska is still on my bucket list. Hope to hear you are finding that balance again, see you on down the road. Happy tails ❤️🚗🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️🐕
We loved Alaska and hope to go back some day. I totally understand the solo issue… start small and work your way up. I’ve seen groups for women to travel together maybe that would work. Hope to see you on the road one day.
Awww guys just catching up, YOU DON’T OWE US FANS ANYTHING, especially not on a fixed schedule! Enjoy your lives, do what you like to do and create videos if and when you feel like it only! You’re such wonderful ambassadors of fun, be yourselves. Authenticity sells! Hug your Mom from your Pennsylvania friends currently in Australia. And for the love of all things nomadic, please don’t let the van catch fire! 🔥 We❤️you! Patti & Jeff Ps - our Facebook posts get 8x as much visibility and feedback when compared to IG & RUclips. Keep it?
This video nails it! I'm so happy to hear these things from you. I have always wondered how you balanced life and kept up the travel schedule and videos. I too am in your age range and yes, I do feel like my traveling days are numbered. Never felt that way before now. I also live in NC and the moderately cold weather is depressing. Florida is like a magnet if you can get a campsite. However, my mother suffered with Alzheimer's for years and the last year (2022) was horrible. We traveled but I was miserable being away from her. I admit that I was often jealous of my RUclips people that didn't seem to have any family responsibilities and they were footloose and fancy free. Now I wouldn't trade a single minute that I stayed behind to be with my mother (and she didn't even know who I was). As far as RUclips, it's just a thing and it is definitely jumping the shark. If you don't need the money, I suggest just post to Facebook (hate their algorithm too) or Instagram (my preference) as you travel. Just post a pic and update every few days and we'll be happy. That's how I keep up with my kids and grandkids I look forward to every photo. You two take care of yourselves and my heart is with your mother. Love on her as much as you can! Happy Trails.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is a struggle to travel when you have elderly parents and you feel you need to be there or at least be close enough to get to them. I’m glad you got to spend that time with your mother… Alzheimer’s is so hard on family.
My friends, finding the right balance is never easy, and just when you think you have found it, something changes! That struggle is part of the journey, kudos to you guys for dealing with it directly and honestly. I am sure that whatever decision that you make will be the right one for you both.
We knew you guys were taking a break and good for you! We feel the same way and you guys have inspired us. For me the few videos we have on RUclips is for us to remember what and where we traveled. We have learned a lot from your channel but much more from being friends with you. Family and friends first. I think during our last visit we felt the struggle. Just enjoy. Be happy! ❤❤❤❤❤
You guys are my “Bob Ross” of RUclips videos. I love to watch them just like they are. I appreciate your honesty but remember you don’t have to answer to anyone but yourselves. I’ll watch them whenever you put them out. ❤😊
It doesn't matter what content you choose. I love your personalities, together or on a small trip alone. (Maggie is my fav!) If you really need ideas, I would like to see free campsites. Pretty much in any state. Food is not important but I enjoy watching the dance! Don't stress it.
I absolutely love watching your Videos, no matter what you are doing. It's really you guys, and of course Maggie we come to see. You 2 are an inspiration to me and to the rest of your subcribers. Lol watching Owen ride his scooter is a hoot, or watching you on your kayaks with Maggie trying to get Owens fish. Everyday stuff is fun to, new recipes, new toys, new or old places works. Because its you guys we come to see. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos.
We love your videos and appreciate you two letting us tag along on your travels, but take care of you and your family! Whatever changes are made to the channel will be awesome 😊
I love all your videos, even if it's going back to same places that you've shown before or doing the same things you've done before. I used to make videos, and they take a lot of time to plan and edit. You're very much appreciated, but you should spend your time exactly the way you want to, whether that be with family, traveling, biking, hiking, kayaking, or making videos, or all of the above!
Enjoy life as it is too short. We enjoy your videos but you need to do what is best for you. It is important to spend time with family and making memories. Times with parents is priceless. I retired to take care of my Dad. They are my best memories. My husband said he has always appreciated all your work. So relax and enjoy each day. If you do a video good and if you don't that is good too. We understand. Thank you for all you do.
I enjoy seeing what you are doing. You have over 500 videos and I haven’t seen them all so whatever your current videos are about, it’s new to me. I think people enjoy seeing your adventures and are not so concerned about the subject of the video.
I always enjoy your videos whenever they pop up. I have no expectations for you all to get a video out at a certain date. Relax, enjoy life. Take videos or not. No worries. I wish you both the best.
I enjoy your channel. Y’all are like me..... a little Appalachian blood and humor. Being from Kentucky, I relate! Plus, I like camping in Florida also and that’s what brought me to your channel. Y’all have a quality channel and sometimes I think maybe you try too hard. Maybe you’re thinking too much. You probably should have more subs but you are in a very crowded niche. Think different and use that creativity to stand apart from the crowd. Most of all....keep having fun. I hope I run across you folks at. Florida State Park one day. 😊
You do you and I'll do me. I don't do drama. I don't watch FL videos or glamping at resorts. Have enjoyed your vids in parks, hiking, biking and camplife. Be safe. Enjoy your travels.
I watch you guys and I don’t even have an rv. I just love the content you put out and to see where you go next. Keep putting out quality videos and we will keep watching, and this should be on your schedule, we will wait.
thank yall for being "real". we watch/ed several of the rv's darlins that we cant mention by names, most are growing doing roundups or ? as if they're rock stars and for the obvious reason, INCOME,.,Thank you for staying true and being you. Its been a struggle for us as well deciding on whom to continue to watch and support for our viewing pleasures/life style. One thing is certain, you guys are the first we watch and never contemplate clicking the unsubscribe button on like we have some others lately. Your content is awesome just the way it is, so Cheers to some awesome folks Rocking the later years in real life content.safe travels
Just finished your newest vid this awesome Sunday morning and the wife and I asked each other this???If not making enough dough, then is it worth it?We both choose L I V I N G vs the camera at that point.."when the question was to arise". We love you guys and proud of you fellow "Carolinians" for sharing your lives /travels with us. But I totally understan your Point Owen. I am retired military and we travel now with a Lance Truck camper and semi retired the 5th wheel. God bless you for trying, but i have realized my life is short on this earth Now i want to spend every second with my Wife and dog only us sharing the moments without the stressors of a cam and the baggage that comes with it.. Again, you two are the best my wife says...., i agreed till i heard Ownes singing....lol JK,, u two Rock. Happy Sunday and safe travels to our fav utubers.
I really love your adventure videos traveling. As far as Facebook, when it started censoring people I censored it and cut it out of my life completely. It’s people like y’all is why I get so much enjoyment just watching y’all and Maggie. Thank you.
We are so happy to hear from you guys again! WOW! So much love and support from you is so overwhelming. Sincerely... THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤
Questions we are getting from the video:
* Apps we use to book hard sites? That would be Wandering Labs and Campnab
Happy Dance!
Hi! You won't remember you but I'm your NC neighbor! Everything about you two has been a blessing in my life! Why? I'm OLD, a Widower and truth is I lost my zest for life.

@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle hope to start traveling by April and will stay in touch
You are loved do what you want we are good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:17 love your spreadsheet! What a great idea!
Great video. Thanks.
I am on old Florida gal... moved to Virginia with my husband when I was 45 years now 70 love Virginia. One part of Florida that does get overlooked is central Florida state parks and national parks and many other sights...my personal fav is Ocala parks... we have so many springs that are both state and national parks.

That’s for the advice, I like shorter video’s too… we try to keep our videos under 20 minutes because that’s what I would rather watch.
Owen and Lynn, we all are thankful for the videos that you have created. We hope you find balance, and most importantly make the time to spend with your family, especially your elders. We are fellow EKKO owners, so we really like to hear about your hits and your struggles when it comes to the strengths and weaknesses of the EKKO platform.
Be well and keep living the dream!
Thanks for the suggestion to include more about the EKKO, we will try to do that.
We know you were struggling with the alternator, I hope you have gotten the 174 campaign completed. We are heading to Florida and having it done at FreedomVanGo next month.
We did get the 174 and Dc-to-Dc done at agave too back in November. Great improvement.
Love you two and have missed you! Suggestion…. more of Owen and Lynn cooking 😍 Love seeing what beverage Owen is drinking and will put in the skillet for dinner. The best thing you can share with us is you being you when YOU want to.
Happy to see you . . . I love your videos because you are real - seeing how active you are, your meals - no drama is perfect and I look forward to you sharing on your own time. Enjoy your time in the Keys!
That’s what I love about you, your real! Don’t stress!
Loved your video on Helen Ga and areas.. Subbed to ya after i watched
I laughed out loud when you mentioned needing to burn your van to get viewers. I'm after enjoyment and education on youtube vs the BS and sensationalism that seem to be increasing. Keep up your great work, I love learning about new places to travel to.
Prayers for your Mom! We will watch your interesting videos anytime you can do them. Enjoy your trip, We are looking forward to seeing your adventures in Florida and beyond!!
Good for you, telling us the real stuff! It's ok to slow down and do family stuff and tge notifications and watching you recording on our schedule and your schedule is good.
Keep On Trucking

This is how we camp and that’s how we relate to you and your videos. We really enjoy the relaxing music you add to your adventures and we always enjoy seeing sweet Maggie. You are like camping with family. We understand your need for family and time to yourselves and will be happy to follow your adventures in however you decide is best for you. Safe travels!
Thanks for letting us know what you like about the videos, it really helps!
Take care. Enjoy life. Your taking care of yourselves will encourage others to do the same. No drama is better
Me thinks go where YOUR compass points. Share what you wish, save the Best for each other. 😊 totally understand why less can bring more. God bless
Just keep being you and do what YOU want to do! Ditch the parts that are so onerous. Forget the hard deadlines. Keep sharing your lives and those that wanna follow…will. So appreciate your down to earth transparency! 👏
Thank you for your comment. Good words to live by.
Great explanation. I watch because I enjoy your travels. I stopped watching a popular ekko travelers who videos starting adding too much drama and click bait. It turned me off. I really enjoy your videos. They keep me engaged and leave me feeling happy, not stressed.
Keep it fun; keep it real. I e noticed I am not getting vids from channels I’ve been subscribed to for a very long time. Seems we are just getting what YT decides to show. Also know that quite a few channels we
,ve followed have given up FB. We’ve never joined that nir have any interest. Both retired from high level tech jobs and employers always discouraged FB for professional reasons.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and for being so vulnerable, especially about aging and the pressure to assure you are using your time wisely. Certainly shows how genuine you both are. My wife and I are traveling in a Travato and watching your videos helped us get there. Thank you for that. Best of luck as you continue to find your balance.
I enjoy your videos because I like who you people are. The destination does not matter. Hope all goes well for you in the new year
I hear you! If RUclips ever becomes a "job" to me, then eh... That is a huge number of videos to post in 7 years! It still has to be fun for me. No deadlines. I think people will watch you no matter when you post and no matter how often. Hang in there and do what makes you happy!
Great comments I see coming to you both from your followers!! Always nice hearing from you !! As always BS & BK & BC !!
We do appreciate all the wonderful comments.
It’s ok 😊 if you choose to stop posting travel videos. You two have shared so much over the years, and it’s been a blast to watch you two and Maggie. Not all good things are meant to last forever, and it’s ok. Live your life’s as you need to. Thanks again for sharing so much over the years. I wish you both the very best in all you choose to do. Take care😊❤️
Love yall. Just know how many lives you have touched! Enjoy your lives. God Bless
Love your videos and I for one (and actually expect many) appreciate the lack of drama. I wish the algorithm was different. Please just continue to just be you and to do so on a schedule that works for you!
We are headed to the Keys for the first time. A three week trip, with a lot of stops. Just got the last two nights booked at Curry Hammock this morning (CampNab.) NOW I’m excited!! You can show videos of the same places over and over. There’s always something new, and I will watch!
You will love Curry Hammock, we are still trying to get in there. Safe travels and enjoy the keys. Maybe we’ll see you 😀.
Proud that you are acting on what is important to you! Celebrate you ❤ We are only given this one life. Happy you are thinking about how YOU want to live it. Take care friends.
I am so proud of both of you! Guess What? It's your life, not ours and certainly not RUclips's. I'm 68 and know for sure that family (not viewership) becomes increasingly more important and "drama" just needs to disappear. Having purpose becomes paramount as we age. Let's face it - aging sucks. Sounds like your purpose lives closer to home and Owen's Mom. Best of Luck figuring it out for yourselves.
Just share your videos when you feel like it, enjoying your life is much more important. ❤❤❤
As someone who lives in Florida, I’d like to see more videos of North Carolina 😊. So as much as I love seeing your videos of our beautiful state, I’d like to see a few more of your state. The mountains, beaches, even the little lake in your backyard. Don’t stress about putting out videos, do what you love and this week or next week if it’s not putting out a video then that’s OK. 😊
That is a great idea, showing our home state would be a great summer series. Thanks for the suggestion.
You make great videos and hope you will continue to do so but for your sake, it has to be on your terms. Good and safe travels .
well, you have wiggled your way into SO MANY people's hearts by being authentically YOU. Please know that you always speak to us where we feel ya. Its great inspiration to many to see you out and about.. there is so much to this country to be seen from the road. I personally LOVE your cooking segments and when I see the happy dance, I know I gotta try it! Do what feels right as far as "balance". You are right.. you will never regret time spent with those you love. Do that! and know you hav already bettered many peoples lives. We will take all we can get in the future.... got my notifications set!
Thank you for your kind comment.
We are all on a journey through life, everyday is another journey in life. Be thankful that we continue this journey. My 97 year old mother use to say each day off to another adventure. So true and safe travels, your videos are great.
Thank you… very wise words.
Y’all don’t stress! This is suppose to be fun and exciting. Owen I jus lost my mom, she turned 92 right before her death. Focus on family it is important. Just wanted you to know we got excited this weekend when we saw a Ecko at Edisto Beach this weekend and thought I might be y’all! Hope to see y’all on the road. We would really like to meet y’all someday. Be safe and see you on the road!
Love y’all. Do what makes you happy. Share what you want. I’ll watch.
Do what is best for you and family, you can make another change later too if you need. My husband and I enjoy your channel and love your content. We are big fans. We'll enjoy your videos when they come out, we don't care if it's the same location, we love your spirit, your story.... we love you, Owen and especially love Maggie. ❤ You all inspire us and hope to get a RV and travel like you all do 😊
You all do what YOU want to do. It's not like you rely on RUclips for income. You are good, fun people and I'll watch wherever you go. I've never been to the keys and would love to see what you do. Enjoy RETIREMENT! Hang in there.
Owen and Lynn today is the first that we watch your videos in a few months and then we ran into you yesterday at John Pennekamp! Now that is a sign..a good one as far as I am concerned! Your right..Just do you and keep having fun at your own pace! Benton and Jennifer
It was so nice to meet you guys.
We love you because you are so positive! Don't overthink what you are doing as you are just sharing your story and it is your channel - put out what makes you happy and if it doesn't don't do it ❤
❤
Take care of yourself and family. Don't worry about us viewers. We are subscribed and will see when you put up a new video.
Thank you for sharing your hearts with us on this subject. In my opinion life balance is as important as anything else in our lives. The fact that you have well over 20k subscribers is a testament as to how many people you have already inspired with myself being one of them. Do what makes your hearts happy and you can’t go wrong. Thanks for letting us tag along this far and I sincerely hope that you find joy in your travels moving forward. I think the musician Bobby McFerrin said it “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. Safe travels.
Thank you for your inspiring comment. Much appreciated.
I love your videos. I’m mostly a silent watcher because I watch on TV. I just wanted you to know that I love the videos and I love seeing the places you go. I hate for you to stress over it. If you put out 10 a week or 1 a month, I will still watch. Don’t stress over it do what you love to do! Life is too short ! God bless !
Thank you so much for your comment and for understanding.
This video is why I like watching your channel. Straight forward good people. Me personally, I never get tired of seeing scenery and watching hikes & bike rides. Have fun guys! Thanks for sharing your adventures and yourselves with us. You always brighten my day.
Thank you for the sweet comment.
Please don’t stress. I have often wondered about the sustainability of these channels, knowing the amount of time and effort it takes to produce the videos. We love them, but work-life balance is important. Personally, I don’t need drama. I love when you share your campsites, hiking, time with Maggie. Those videos help us plan our trips; it helps us screen which SPs, etc are good to see.
Thanks for sharing what you like, it does help.
Thank you for the lack of drama. You are struggling because you care about the quality of the product you are producing. Looking forward to more Keys content.
I think removing the Sunday deadline is a great idea! Hope that relieves some of the stress! I’ll watch your videos whenever you post them! I have the bell on so I should get notified. Please don’t stop doing RUclips whatever you do! I’ll miss seeing Maggie! Oops, I mean I’ll missing seeing y’all! 😆
We know what you really meant 🤣…
Okay hears the magic....Owen...get your guitar out and make music with US! We all love it!
Hey yall- enjoy your videos- It doesn't get boring if you concentrate on the photography and the music. Forget the cooking and drama. I just like to see new places to see if I'd like to go there myself. I'd recommend one every two or three weeks with some lovely scenery like the recent canada stuff. Cheers!
Thanks for your suggestions.
Hi you two, I just finished watching the Alaska Recap video AGAIN! Best Alaska video for information for myself, I hope one day you will be on the road north once more but I understand how the health of family members weighs on us. Since my husband has passed, I struggle also with the solo issue but will not let it keep me down. Alaska is still on my bucket list. Hope to hear you are finding that balance again, see you on down the road. Happy tails ❤️🚗🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️🐕
We loved Alaska and hope to go back some day. I totally understand the solo issue… start small and work your way up. I’ve seen groups for women to travel together maybe that would work. Hope to see you on the road one day.
Awww guys just catching up, YOU DON’T OWE US FANS ANYTHING, especially not on a fixed schedule! Enjoy your lives, do what you like to do and create videos if and when you feel like it only! You’re such wonderful ambassadors of fun, be yourselves. Authenticity sells! Hug your Mom from your Pennsylvania friends currently in Australia. And for the love of all things nomadic, please don’t let the van catch fire! 🔥 We❤️you! Patti & Jeff
Ps - our Facebook posts get 8x as much visibility and feedback when compared to IG & RUclips. Keep it?
Thank you for your comment, it means so much. We’ve been following your Australia trip on FB and it looks awesome. Safe travels.
This video nails it! I'm so happy to hear these things from you. I have always wondered how you balanced life and kept up the travel schedule and videos. I too am in your age range and yes, I do feel like my traveling days are numbered. Never felt that way before now. I also live in NC and the moderately cold weather is depressing. Florida is like a magnet if you can get a campsite. However, my mother suffered with Alzheimer's for years and the last year (2022) was horrible. We traveled but I was miserable being away from her. I admit that I was often jealous of my RUclips people that didn't seem to have any family responsibilities and they were footloose and fancy free. Now I wouldn't trade a single minute that I stayed behind to be with my mother (and she didn't even know who I was). As far as RUclips, it's just a thing and it is definitely jumping the shark. If you don't need the money, I suggest just post to Facebook (hate their algorithm too) or Instagram (my preference) as you travel. Just post a pic and update every few days and we'll be happy. That's how I keep up with my kids and grandkids I look forward to every photo. You two take care of yourselves and my heart is with your mother. Love on her as much as you can!
Happy Trails.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is a struggle to travel when you have elderly parents and you feel you need to be there or at least be close enough to get to them. I’m glad you got to spend that time with your mother… Alzheimer’s is so hard on family.
It's all good. Whenever we hear from you we'll be doing our happy dance❤
My friends, finding the right balance is never easy, and just when you think you have found it, something changes! That struggle is part of the journey, kudos to you guys for dealing with it directly and honestly. I am sure that whatever decision that you make will be the right one for you both.
Thank you for your comment.
We knew you guys were taking a break and good for you! We feel the same way and you guys have inspired us. For me the few videos we have on RUclips is for us to remember what and where we traveled. We have learned a lot from your channel but much more from being friends with you. Family and friends first. I think during our last visit we felt the struggle. Just enjoy. Be happy! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being such special friends, it means so much. Much Love!
You guys are my “Bob Ross” of RUclips videos. I love to watch them just like they are. I appreciate your honesty but remember you don’t have to answer to anyone but yourselves. I’ll watch them whenever you put them out. ❤😊
It doesn't matter what content you choose. I love your personalities, together or on a small trip alone. (Maggie is my fav!) If you really need ideas, I would like to see free campsites. Pretty much in any state. Food is not important but I enjoy watching the dance! Don't stress it.
Thank you for the suggestions.
I absolutely love watching your Videos, no matter what you are doing. It's really you guys, and of course Maggie we come to see. You 2 are an inspiration to me and to the rest of your subcribers. Lol watching Owen ride his scooter is a hoot, or watching you on your kayaks with Maggie trying to get Owens fish. Everyday stuff is fun to, new recipes, new toys, new or old places works. Because its you guys we come to see. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment… it means a lot.
Just be natural, be yourselves. Thanks for sharing.
You guys just be you that’s the most important thing in life !
I love y’all and your channel. Please don’t change a thing. I have some great suggestions for Georgia when y’all come back through. ❤️
I’ll make sure we reach out when we do more of Georgia. Thank you!
❤️❤️
Enjoy you both and have learned a lot from you. Take it easy spend time with family . You’ll be missed.
You do you, life is short, family is first and listen to your heart!
We love your videos and appreciate you two letting us tag along on your travels, but take care of you and your family! Whatever changes are made to the channel will be awesome 😊
I get it guys. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feeling on life, and the limits of time. We all feel the limits of time. 😢
We just appreciate you being you❣️ Inspiring us older folks to get our rear ends up and "If you don't go you won't know" experiences.
I love all your videos, even if it's going back to same places that you've shown before or doing the same things you've done before. I used to make videos, and they take a lot of time to plan and edit. You're very much appreciated, but you should spend your time exactly the way you want to, whether that be with family, traveling, biking, hiking, kayaking, or making videos, or all of the above!
Just do what feels right. The videos are the best when you're not stressed.
Enjoy life as it is too short. We enjoy your videos but you need to do what is best for you. It is important to spend time with family and making memories. Times with parents is priceless. I retired to take care of my Dad. They are my best memories. My husband said he has always appreciated all your work. So relax and enjoy each day. If you do a video good and if you don't that is good too. We understand. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for your wise words, it is much appreciated.
We haven’t had Covid so what’s John’s excuse? Just glad you’re back. Will watch anything you post.
I enjoy seeing what you are doing. You have over 500 videos and I haven’t seen them all so whatever your current videos are about, it’s new to me. I think people enjoy seeing your adventures and are not so concerned about the subject of the video.
I always enjoy your videos whenever they pop up. I have no expectations for you all to get a video out at a certain date. Relax, enjoy life. Take videos or not. No worries. I wish you both the best.
Hey guys! Be encouraged!! We know how hard you work at making videos and it shows. The Fridays
I enjoy your channel. Y’all are like me..... a little Appalachian blood and humor. Being from Kentucky, I relate! Plus, I like camping in Florida also and that’s what brought me to your channel. Y’all have a quality channel and sometimes I think maybe you try too hard. Maybe you’re thinking too much. You probably should have more subs but you are in a very crowded niche. Think different and use that creativity to stand apart from the crowd. Most of all....keep having fun. I hope I run across you folks at. Florida State Park one day. 😊
Thanks for the comment and we have decided to do just what you said. Just do what works for us and not over think everything we do.
You do you and I'll do me. I don't do drama.
I don't watch FL videos or glamping at resorts.
Have enjoyed your vids in parks, hiking, biking and camplife.
Be safe. Enjoy your travels.
I watch you guys and I don’t even have an rv. I just love the content you put out and to see where you go next. Keep putting out quality videos and we will keep watching, and this should be on your schedule, we will wait.
thank yall for being "real". we watch/ed several of the rv's darlins that we cant mention by names, most are growing doing roundups or ? as if they're rock stars and for the obvious reason, INCOME,.,Thank you for staying true and being you. Its been a struggle for us as well deciding on whom to continue to watch and support for our viewing pleasures/life style. One thing is certain, you guys are the first we watch and never contemplate clicking the unsubscribe button on like we have some others lately. Your content is awesome just the way it is, so Cheers to some awesome folks Rocking the later years in real life content.safe travels
Thank you so much for your comment, it is very much appreciated in our uncertainty frame of mind.
Just finished your newest vid this awesome Sunday morning and the wife and I asked each other this???If not making enough dough, then is it worth it?We both choose L I V I N G vs the camera at that point.."when the question was to arise". We love you guys and proud of you fellow "Carolinians" for sharing your lives /travels with us. But I totally understan your Point Owen. I am retired military and we travel now with a Lance Truck camper and semi retired the 5th wheel. God bless you for trying, but i have realized my life is short on this earth Now i want to spend every second with my Wife and dog only us sharing the moments without the stressors of a cam and the baggage that comes with it.. Again, you two are the best my wife says...., i agreed till i heard Ownes singing....lol JK,, u two Rock. Happy Sunday and safe travels to our fav utubers.
Wr appreciate your honesty. 😅
I really love your adventure videos traveling. As far as Facebook, when it started censoring people I censored it and cut it out of my life completely. It’s people like y’all is why I get so much enjoyment just watching y’all and Maggie. Thank you.
