I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 10+ years. I am a photographer and forager. We enjoy hiking, camping, paddle boarding, climbing and being outside as much as we can. We have countless stories and lessons to share and are always trying to learn new skills and improve in many aspects of life. Thank you for coming along.

I’m a silviculture tech for the United States Forest Service. And my Forest burnt down 11 years ago so we are tasked with rebuilding the Forest. The biggest challenge is fighting against the old guard thought process which is creating tree plantations. Myself and my coworkers want to build a proper Forest back, which is hard because a lot of the science is not aimed at building an ecosystem and a community but at creating bigger conifers. We’re doing it tho.
Plantations are such a weird thing. Thank you for trying to build ecosystems
That sounds fascinating. I especially like how you’re succeeding against dusty outdated ideas. Perhaps a children’s book, or an adult book lol, would be an interesting side project.
I love camping. The camping experience requires trees....lots of trees. Maybe a lake, river or creek. If the US Forestry Service really wanted to build an ecosystem outside of tree plantations, the US Forestry Service would enforce laws, and partner with Dept of Natural Resources to stop illegal stuff like the dumping of invasive ( not natural)invasive animals into the already established ecosystems.....
Thank you for what you are doing. This last week I visited Yellow River State Forest for my first time. How amazing. The photos I took were of individual trees, open glades with delicate trees, wildflowers, mossy rocks, valleys, bluffs and rivers.Driftless stole my heart.
Interestingly there was a sawmill.
@@outandaboutwithsamiam5034 if we had any funding that would be higher in our list. Right now all funding gets shunted into fire. My department used to have 25 people. Now it has three.
Responsible logging and prosperity are not mutually exclusive. The imagery you’ve captured in this video is just stunningly beautiful. From the campfire, to the shipwreck, the forest canopy and the beach sunset. This place is just gorgeous and, I hope, will be protected for generations to come.
I work on the For Better or For Worse cartoon strips, getting them ready for republication. Amanda, you you and Elly Patterson of the strip, look a lot like each other.
Interesting, I will have to check it out. It’s rare I’m told I look like anyone else
I loved that cartoon ❤🎉😊
@@margueritemitchell1829 I just worked up a batch and it is where Farley saves April from drowning and he passes away from the ordeal, I teared up big time, on that one.
I love For Better or For Worse!
The history of the shipwreck was so well done. It really makes you appreciate the shipwreck. Lifts it to another level when you know details
Your photography is amazing..
Thank you ☺️
Awe, Frank looks like he's struggling. Best to you and Flossy!
Outstanding videos Amanda. They never fail to take my breath away with the beauty. Tourism Canada should be contributing to your content. 🙏♥️
Brilliant episode Amanda, such an awesome place to visit. Thanks for taking me along on this adventure, enjoyed it thoroughly! Have a wonderful week ahead, very best wishes.
I spend quite some time on CZcams as I do not have TV service and this is my come to channel when I need some soul food!! You have the gift of a real story teller and share so much beauty for the eyes. I envy your life. Thank you so much for all you share👏🏻❤️
Asleep on the moss
Awash in golden sunlight
Always remembered 🐕
Ooohh. Those moon pics are beautiful & mesmerizing.
Thank you ☺️
They really are!
That shipwreck is AWESOME. I want to see so much more. You did a great job with the photography and narration.
Thank you 😊
Great view and a nice day happy mother day yesterday
Thank you, I enjoyed lots of Frankie snuggles while editing this video.
I totally agree with you on deforestation. Cut, but DON'T clear cut. I've driven thru a clear cut forest. It's heartbreaking to see what we do to this beautiful planet. The earth is getting back at us though, thru the work of nature, AND IT WILL WIN!
Clear cuts define the BC landscape and I actually work quite hard to minimize them in videos. It’s pretty heartbreaking
"...better way forward..." YES! Humans have needs, but we also have greeds. Awesome video, Amanda, Frank and Flossy. 👍😎🇨🇦🌊🐾🔥🌿🌲💫
Frank has got the BEST
life with you, Amanda 💚
Continued safe travels!
Def jealous of this trip
Haven’t been there since the early 80’s
Enjoy my friend
Thanks Brent! Hope you’re doing well ☺️
Beautiful. Great place to heal. I hope you are 100 percent soon.
Thank you! I’m all better now ☺️
It looks so peaceful and beautiful.❤❤❤❤ take care.
Thank you, it really is 🫶🏻
Beautiful photography.
BTW this is the best of all the "van life" channels. You only use your own music, when it is there, and your photography is the best. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Container suggestion: Get several Mason jars with lids. Things stay fresher and more moisture-free in glass jars. I like to do most everything (cereal, rice, etc.) including fresh berries in glass jars with good lids (I buy plastic lids on Amazon that fit the jars) and fresh things last much longer.
Amanda, such an awesome place to visit. Thanks for taking me along on your adventures. I enjoyed it so much. I really appreciate all the nature scenes plus the sounds of the birds singing. In my area of Vancouver I very rarely hear bird song and I miss it so much. Hugs 🤗
Wow Amanda, you look more relaxed and peaceful than I think I’ve ever seen you. That environment and pace agrees with you. Hi Frank!!!
❤❤❤. Hi Flossy!!! 💛💛💛
Love how you love forests and trees you are so right about needing to be sustainable rather than just chopping at will! I live in an area where they are taking all the farm land and making subdivisions out of it. This means I am watching wildlife disappear everyday! It is out of greed and short term thinking by politicians and corporations ( psychos lol). It is frustrating because no matter how many people speak up and how many meetings are hosted to stop the progress, as they call it, it just keeps happening. The greed runs so deep that, for example, they just keep building houses even though the hospital is not big enough for all the new people! The infrastructure is just not there for the population increase! Anyway I definately need to get back to the west coast! Left my heart there last September💗
I love that shipwreck/monumental sculpture!
What a stunning place! Just gorgeous!! You put yourself down for being a hoarder of surplus supplies, but that part of your nature has come in very handy many times. Not just for yourself but for others. Your van seems to handle the weight and your van doesn't look overfilled to me. I love all forests! Especially old growth of any species! I mourn the enormous trees from when I was a small child, the enormous Valley Oaks of the northern Sacramento Valley and the giant coastal Redwoods ♥️ But, I know that I am blessed to have seen some and to still be among the coastal Redwoods that remain. 💫♥️💫
Truck is a 1-ton and that was intentional knowing my prepared ways 😁
The G O V T know the great power these centurion trees hold for humanity and thus they want to destroy them 😢
I could spend a lifetime drawing that ship wreck. Thank you for sharing your adventures .
You’re looking amazingly vibrant and healthy.
Thank you, a little tan goes a long way 😆
Great views! Your video is so close to being there! Thank you!
Loved it all like the info on the crashed ship and the pics of the moon.....beautiful
Enjoyed the forest. I'm like you I feel there's a better way to treat and harvest from the forest. How's Feank doing?
Enjoy your time on the island.
He’s doing pretty well. His foot is slow to heal but he’s happy.
You should wrote a book your such a great story teller!!!! Narrator.
Great video and many as great photographs! The drone footage is also an addition to the story and your description of the travels. You should write a children’s book on exploring the peace of nature with your quiet by inviting stories. Maybe you might get more people to see the planet as their home rather than a “harsh” environment. Peace to you and Frank and Flossy.🎉
Thank you Stuart 🙏🏼💜
I was there 25 years ago.....cool to see it again. You are kindling an urge to revisit Haida Gwaii once again. It is truly a special place on Mother Earth. Hugs to Frank!
Haida Gwaii is such a special place I can't wait to go back to. The pace really slows down and most people are on the same level.
It’s a good vibe here that for sure. You forgets the rest of the world exists and I enjoy that.
Amazing story telling, and fabulous video! KEEP DOING IT! :)
Thank you 🙏🏼 I hope you are having a wonderful week ✨
My mother was born on December 11, 1928. Interesting video.
Beautiful! The ocean calms me too.😌😍
I tried to check out the comments to see if anyone else had mentioned the book "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer. She is a native American who writes about the connection between science/humans and the land. I feel you will get her perspective. It's a beautiful book.
I so love seeing the beautiful places you visit, however also encourage the down time to BE. Jealously watching you eat fiddleheads while still hanging in the Arizona desert waiting for Yucca flowers and cactus fruit. Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful place to reflex and recharge
what you did with the video around 19:45 was super cool to watch 😃
Thank you! I sat very still 😆
Amanda, was Mossy supposed to meet you there? How did you get back in the dark? It was so dark?
@@bernadettebockis4120 we had a miscommunication. They did come out but then I stay much longer to film the moonrise and had come prepared with a headlamp.
you are an excellent story teller, I can't tell if what your saying is your life journeys or a story out of a book.
Thank you ☺️ it’s my story but I would love for it to be in books someday ✍️
Awesome to see your journey!
Thanks!
🫶🏻
Please do more videos of foraging and using the things you gathered in recipes please! Love to you and Frank from Texas!
This is the best one yet! WOW!
Wow what a gift this video is! Your poetic descriptions at the beginning made my heart so happy. Your connection and presence to the land and water is truly inspiring. I greatly appreciate this style of video.
May you continue to regroup & recharge along your travels ❤
🎉🎉🎉...hey Amanda, Frank and Flossy...
I keep my Maldon salt in a smaller mason jar. I love the little market umbrella shapes they have!
Can you take us shopping with you from time to time. Thanks take care and God bless.
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a haul eh? Can definitely share again in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, you’ve been an inspiration ❤
Hey Amanda, that was a fun video. Definitely a beautiful place so happy you’re getting to hang out with flossy and Frank is such a happy boy. You guys always make my day. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to your next adventure. You guys be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️🫶🙏👍🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
Thanks LaNette, I appreciate you always take time to comment 🫶🏻✨
Stunning moon/swirling cloud capture !
My best friend works that ferry route so I see his pictures all the tine, and it was cool to see it from your perspective ❤. I completely agree with you about forestry!! I felt like jumping off tge vouch yelling, YEAH!!! ❤💜🥰❣️
Wonderful episode! So relaxing and inspiring! Thank you Amanda! ❤❤❤ to our favorite Frank
Oh so Nice ! So wonderful to take plenty of time to heal and just relax. You have always deserved it. 😊❤
We all deserve it 🤗
WOW your pictures are absolutely Beautiful 😍 🤩. I Love Your Photography U R Brilliant At It . God Bless Ya'll. Mucho Love Always ❤️ ❤
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
Wow!! Love the history on the ship and the beauty of area is incredible. 💖🤎🧡
Loved this video! Loved seeing Frank walking around and enjoying the sunshine! Self care is so important!! I am learning this now, having gone through a sudden break up, I am trying to take better care of myself and making time to relax and rejuvenate!
So proud of you for keeping your faith.you are amazing,literally sweetest person. You are a special lady.shamim 💕 🧜♀️👏💙🦢🕊👫🎎💑🫂
Check out your video at 11 minutes in during your LMNT talk, with your hair in a ponytail you look 15 years younger and awesome girl! Your rocking thoes bangs! 😊 loved the beautiful landscapes wonderful video
Beautiful glimpses of the island reminds me of here in New Zealand.
Oh man, in 2019 I was there on the islands. I went to so many of the spots you highlighted in this video. I hope you made it to a hike I believe is called "the edge of the world", as well as agate beach and the spring! Drinking from the spring is supposed to lead you back someday. Oh man I'm dreaming of the day I'll be back. I was up there during chanterelle season in the fall. Wild weather. It makes me so happy that you are there enjoying it!
That dinner view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳💕
It's so pretty there. The size of some of those trees is incredible! Very nice images, Amanda, thank you!
You are an amazing artist. You write beautifully and you have an awesome eye for photography. I love listening to you! I cracked up at "the meeting of the eating of the fiddlehead." Hope I got that right. 😂😂😂
Thank you Candy, I appreciate it 🫶🏻
This was a great video, Thank you for sharing cultural and historical stories. I'm glad you and Flossy are having a nice time together.
Another great video. I regretted never having gone there when I lived in the coast. Great photography and massive job of editing. 👍👍🙏
Great video! Thanks for bringing us along!
"OUR FOREST" Yes!
Awww Frank is getting up in age 😢. Just like I am 😅. I enjoy your videos. Your doing a fantastic job sharing your experiences on your journey.
Best of luck and take care 😊
Frank looks so content, take care out there x
I wish I could many thumbs up. Wonderful.
Thank you that was so relaxing and I have so much respect for you and your friend and the way you live and educate us on how not to live in a box thank you may you have a blessed day
Awesome trees!
This might be your best video. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
I would love for more information on how to divorce when there is a restraining order.
Tell people that if they buy a house and it’s all there money to not put them on the title! CONTRACT
A video on self care - what helps to do mind body soul as you go through a divorce.
What emotions and what’s normal feelings as you go through a contentious divorce? Am I normal for feeling this way?
A video going into detail on this binder!!! I am just starting the process and I am not even familiar with some of the documents I need to hand over.
Love what you’re doing! Never thought I would be going through this, non less glad to have your channel.
I loved what you said about keeping it tight and not telling the entire world. Nobody cares! 😂 I felt that!
Thanks for speaking out!! Yes,it’s time to protect our forests! We all need to work at helping Mother Earth protect our beauty for future generations
Thank you for the gorgeous places you've shown us and the history lessons. Very interesting!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing made my day. Food looks so good. To live for.
Those trees are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing them with us. It's very sad that these forests are being irreplaceably damaged for money. Watching the beautiful trails made me think it would be nice to have a trail to watch while I walk my daily 3000 steps, which sometimes must be done inside. Perhaps on your ambient channel with the added sound of soothing water or maybe even a Steel Tongue Drum accompaniment . Have a great trip!
Such a Kool place, kool Spruces, Shipwreck, great friend to share it with and FRRRRRRANNNNK sawing logs ...Zzzzzz Snore🥰😁😁😂🤣👍👍🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙Be blessed ya all.
This is stunning! Thank you! We love you Frankie!
This is such a beautiful video, thank you for sharing
Great video Amanda ! It looks so awesome there ! your descriptions are very nice and enjoyable to listen to you, and to Flossy as well. Take care out there !
Less is simply better!
Wonderful!
I appreciate you sharing the history throughout your video. I will pick up the book. I have enjoyed all previous books you have suggested.
So much nature beauty out there, I must explore for myself one day. 💜🐾💛
Love this video
I like your foraging tips!
I love your drone footage.
loved this video!! It looks so beautiful there. The shots of the trees truly show how big they are! 😍 I want to go to BC sooo bad!
Your videos are amazing with all the views you get to capture. I cant wait till I get to Canada at the end of this month. Ill be going to Bruce Peninsula and have never been and looking forward to it.
I love your fringe so much!!! It’s always so great to see your adventures and relaxing times either Flossy, I have a friendship like you and they and it’s super special. And Frank, such a sweet boy, he looked especially happy there, must be extra special smells to him. 💕
LMNT sparkling is amazing! Especially. The Black Cherry Lime!!!
My grandaughter really likes the sparkling LMNT. I thing the Black Cherry Lime is her favorite. We feel so special in receiving this gift from them!
Save the trees!
thanks..
I like when you talk about foraging and how to cook your findings. I am still shy in foraging, not sure what I can pick up and eat but would like to learn more. I went to Haida Gwaii 2 years ago and still dream about it. It is nice to re-discovered the island with you. Also love that shirt with Frank’s smile.
