    I suffered from environmental depression and always felt so much relief and freedom when I went on camping trips. That's how I discovered I am not a city girl, I dislike being in a city and needed to get back to a more basic living. I'm so glad your friend found herself when she ran from her situation. If you are unhappy with what's going on around you, go where your heart is calling you to go.

      When I visited a small town on the Oregon Coast in 1989, I actually did catch my breath because I realized THIS was where I've always needed to be😍. I listened to my heart, worked hard toward my goal, and I moved here 13 years later. So yes, I agree, "go where your heart is calling you to go," because personally I've never regretted it for a moment.

      That truck is at minimum 22 years old, it is a 7.3 powerstroke diesel made from the 90's on until they quit making them in 2002 thanks to the non stop EPA rules on emissions by our ever expanding government overlords. Best truck ever made.

    The best kind of off grid heater is a vented propane heater. They're larger but they're the best out there and a extremely dependable primary source of heat. I just wish they were smaller like the diesel heaters. You can usually pick them up pretty cheap used. And they don't produce any condensation because it's vented none of the fumes go inside.

    My parents used to take me to the Catskill mountains every summer since I was a baby. Hiking in the mountains, swimming and boating in the Delaware river, camping out with the obligatory wieners on a campfire, watching the breath taking stellar display at night - I grew to love the sights, sounds, smells, and peace and quiet of being in nature. I always longed to recreate that idyllic time in my life but ike most people, as an adult I became trapped in the usual soul crushing shackles and obligations of urban life - bills, meaningless job, traffic, crime, noise, crowding, pollution, until finally now in the autumn of my life I feel the need to escape this prison that I've created while I'm still young enough to be self sufficient but unlike this woman I'm still not brave enough to break free. Maybe some day. Thanks for your inspiring videos Bob.

    I like her and her setup. I would be making ice 24/7 and bagging it if had had enough water.
