Rockhopper Adventures
United States
Registrace 10. 11. 2019
Welcome to my channel! During my life I've achieved numerous adventures, including two world's-first treks -- I was the first to walk the entire ocean shoreline of the West Coast of the USA from Canada to Mexico - a 13-month, 3300-mile journey. Later, I became the first to circumambulate New Zealand's South Island in similar fashion by walking the ocean shore of beaches, rocks, and cliffs -- 4,500 miles in 2 1/2 years. I received national and international publicity in various forms of media, like television. A newspaper dubbed me "The Rockhopper" so I thought it appropriate to call my channel Rockhopper Adventures.

Why Is This Off-Grid Desert Homestead Abandoned?
zhlédnutí 592Před dnem
There's mystery out in the California desert near the Arizona border. It was suggested I have a look at this place, as it was considered to be quite nice as desert dwellings go, and there was a ton of effort put into it: rock walls and foot paths, water and plumbing system, heating and cooking, and more. Maybe I could find clues to who once lived here and when, and try to decipher what happened...

At 61 She Built A Rock House By Hand

It may seem a bit late in life for some to start building their own 950-square-foot home at age 61 but not to Laura. She, along with a cowboy friend, began building, by hand (no power tools), her house in the Sonoran desert from free and locally available materials. She built it from scratch and had no electricity to run tools. She started collecting the stones that would be the walls of her ho...
This Cup And What's Inside It Could Save Your Life (With items you didn't think about)

All the items you need to survive in the wilderness for a few days or maybe even weeks are a stainless-steel cup and the contents inside it. And it doesn't weigh much. Or take up much space. You probably wouldn't have thought to bring some of these items along.

You would never be allowed to build that where I live in New Jersey.
Glad you’re ok maybe you can show on a map where this was, thanks for sharing 🌱🍂🌿
you should come interview our family, sir. there's 9 of us living in a two bedroom apartment, on less than 20,000 a year. much is possible
Close call you got out unscathed! Good to be luck then good looking. thank you,ALL stay safe and dry
Awesome, did the same EPIC TRIP summer solstice '16. 5 weeks from Calgary Alberta to The Arctic and back.
Living in nature, there's no life like it. Thanks for the share, incredible footage. Glad you uploaded, and didn't download 🙃
Good reason to not park in a wash.
Glad you did this video to let the tourist know that monsoon season means flash flooding…
What happened to Arley?😔 moved on, died ?
they seem like good kids
<-- You have gained ***a new subscriber*** after this interview!! ***What a few amazing young people these two are raising!*** So very well rounded & grounded to God's World!! ***An amazing leadership in these parents!***
Amazing- she didn’t even have CZcams to show her how!
Absolutely Beautiful Family..God Bless all❤...
I'm jealous
PARADISE for sure!
Hemp fiber soaked in creosote is what they used for chinking back then.
How would you live when the snow comes
It beautiful scenery
Why is there always a "White lady" in every haunting???

Do you have to leave your backpack by the door when you go to the circle k there? How about ask for them to unlock the beer? While there's six homeless people outside asking you for money so they can get high.
The elites couldn't do what you do!
We went through there in 2021. One of the coolest places I’ve ever been to! I hope like you, that it never turns into a tourist ripoff place like most everywhere else! I would like to say thank you to the Helper community. They have TRULY added to life’s quality.
Wow. Just wow. Blessings to all of them for living a deep life.
The parents raised bright kids who have a good strong sense of self AND kind. Love how people share food and help one another out. Also, this proves you don't need a big house or electric. The mom is quite resourceful and noticed her very organized and clean kitchen. She really has it all together. I think she likes cheesecake.
ELI IS VERY TALANTED
Beautiful
These folks have rediscovered something that we lost along the way
Oh plz tell me you will have put up log walls and permanent type roof before winter comes. Wishing you the best. Good health and happiness to you. Grow lemon balm around your dwelling. It comes up every year. Part of mint family. Mosquitos and bugs hate it. You can make tea from it. Add it to bees wax and olive oil for a balm. Grow marigolds in pots save the flower heads to reseed.
Did the same science project at grade school, called her Chicken Noodle!😂
Facinating, we use some of these principles for our summer home.
THIS LADY LOOKS SO GOOD FOR HER AGE , WHAT A LOVELY HOUSE , IT PROVES WHAT ONE CAN DO , BEST WISHES
Stephen, do you also use human faeces for composting? Apparently it's the richest in nutrients.
This world can throw nothing at these kids they won't laugh at and ask "that the best you got?"
A beautiful family with hardworking, creative, intelligent children ❤ I wish there was more of this in the world.
Awesome video!!
Where are the drugs and video games? I don’t understand.
That is a very beautiful home. It is worth much, much more than any other type, and the fact it was much cheaper makes it priceless.
Such a beautiful place . It's actually hard to believe that this place is in the desert. But it certainly proves to me that somebody knew what they were doing when they built this place. And this lady is so kind and accommodating to allow you to venture through her home and personal space
Intents way of life!!. Well done Ma and Pa. Lovely friendly well balanced kids. And neighbourhood by the sounds of it. Enjoy ❤
I bet those kids have a great life living in the mountains. 😊
Glad your Back in the SW ❤️
Latterly looks like some people-trafficking going on. Pity.
