I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 9+ 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.

It is definitely obvious that you're classes are showing in your videos,at senior age,I wait and watch all of your films ,it makes me happy to see you and Frank being so free and blessed. Thank you.
Yes yes yes!!! Me too❤
Me three🧡🐾🧡
You make wonderful videos. With all of the stuff that happened, the one thing that stood out for me was - sure you had your moment BUT you didn't fall off the rails. Instead you made a very tasty healthy meal and kept yourself and Frank warm and safe, then tried to relax with some sleep. In the morning you gathered yourself together and got on with the day and got yourself to a garage. Sure what you did was risky, but you have skills and experience over the last 8? or 10 years. Keep believing in yourself and your skills and listen to that inner voice that keeps you safe. much love :)
May you and Frank always have helping hands and angels near you.
That was THE BEST sponsor
PSA, Amanda, I watched it all
the way thru & I hope to BUY
land in the VERY near future!
Hugs to Frank, thanks for the
paw print with my stickers 🐶
Safe travels in the US!!! ☺️💚
I have a home base in NV, but would love a Discount Lot where there are no cell towers for hundreds of miles.
Yeah those lower control arms are pretty robust and chevy has been using them for ages. I had a hot rod '69 El Camino that used the same exact setup, so one day I notice that not only the outer nut was gone the whole bushing from under it was gone.
car still drove great, and I frequently went past 100 mph everyday in it, so no telling how fast i went with no bushing lol.
Isn’t is amazing that the cap was right there where you got stuck in the snow … Isness … although future Amanda could have given you a heads up 😂 .. great video as usual! Namaha
I'm very glad you're OK. To prevent future anxiety related to an issue like this, please consider picking up an inexpensive adjustable wrench, and/or a large pair of channel lock pliers. Either of those would have easily gotten that nut a lot tighter than your hand. Thanks for sharing your adventure, looking forward to the next ones...
Thank God you were able to get to a shop with honest men working and I love how they explained everything to you instead of trying to swindle you. Keep on trucking in the 🐕🤦 USA 😄👋🙋
Hi there, I’m glad you got your van fixed, there’s nothing worse. Your adventure was fun with amazing views, your a very strong lady and I’m happy that you and Frank are safe with your van. All the best to you and Frank, see you on your next adventure. 🦮🤟🏼✌️💕💐❤️
I'm so happy to see that you and Frank are okay. This really isn't a place to get stuck at. Oh that's funny I love your mask LOL you're very strong person. It's nice to know that there are some strong women out here.
You are a joy!! So is your faithful pal, Frank!!
Whew! Nothing like a little adrenaline ! You did make that soup look much better. You and Frank are safe...and adventuring, and that's all that matters. 👍😎📷🐾🇨🇦❄🙏
That's an awesome view @00:17 seconds! Most pictures of the snow ❄️ do not show the glistening 💎 like sparkles! Thank you! UBU that's what makes you wonderful! 💜💚
Hi Amanda and Frank!!
Nice road ride… l love how brave and adventurous u are, but also with common sense.
Keep on trucking.
Stay safe and warm.
Much ❤❤!!!
I’m so grateful that you and Frank are safe! And happy the Truck is bandaged up!!! ❤❤
Good job, good try and you and Frankie are safe. You did the right thing. I will continue following you. ❄🌷
Kristina, 65 from Sweden 🇸🇪
I love the adventure. Fun way you filmed the discount lots part!! You remind me it’s fine to do challenging (risky?) things with prep and proper cautions. Love that point, too - it’s not about completing the thing at any cost, it’s about doing the adventure enjoyably, safely. Love Frank in his coat! Glad you found excellent and kindly mechanics. ❤
I really enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming….I’m 72 and FINALLY pursuing my dream of building out my own van conversion on my 2012 Ford e150 van. You inspire me.
I LOVE your sense of adventure! And I LOVED your Discountlots double Amanda bit! So creative!
Yep I have to say Everything about this blog was fun n beautiful. I so admire the way you just Go for it
Consequences be damned! Be Hugs to you n Frank....n Truck for not stranding you out there!🙏🏻❤🤗🐾
Finding a competent and honest mechanic when you're on the road. Priceless!!
Amanda I can say this much. I would honestly go on any adventure with you and Frank with no reservations. You are so level headed , confident with excellent problem solving skills. I would feel safe. Those mechanics took the time to explain everything because they need you were not this little weak damsel in distress . They knew if you had all three correct tools you could do it. Another thing your videos have truly become top notch. You seen so comfortable in front of the camera now nothing seems forced. Your cinematography is so good I just love it. Well I'm excited for the next one. Keep trucking good vibes sent your way for you and Frank💕🐕👩🏞️🌄💕
So proud of you! I feel the same way 👍 as a chronic pain sufferer, n having negative effects from a failed fusion, I've been trying to be a Nomad for 4 years. Unfortunately I hvnt been well enough, but this year I will. I support your journey gf n having lived off grid I ABSOLUTELY get the need to meet challenges! BRAVO ❤️💯! WELL DONE! 👍
Loved the "dual Amanda" perspective. Creative!!!
I like that you go into details about the mechanics of what you have to do to your van. It's good for people like me who know nothing mechanical to be able to learn some things at the same time as being entertained 🙃
Good call Amanda....so happy everything came good in the end. Wishing you both a great week ahead !
So glad it all worked out! On to the next adventure.
Watching your joy the last video and this one despite the challenges is refreshing!!!!
So thankful you were safe and overcame the trials of exploration !!!!
Thankful you turned around and found a basecamp and got out safe! Win win 🎉
Man you persevered and worked hard and poor frozen hands. Tough experiences and adversity can make us stronger or weaker. Process it all through and through to walk away stronger !!!
You amaze me Amanda! Hi Frank ❤️❤️❤️❤️
At 72yo I am living vicariously through your videos. You are doing things that many of us only dream about Amanda. Give Frank a big juicy kiss and hug. Hopefully we will all be together in the Paradise we dream about. Soon. Very Soon. Love you girl. Keep on Truckin’ 🌈🐲💖
Hi Amanda, great you could fix up the van. Love to you and Frank, enjoy!
Hi Amanda & Frank, I look forward to your videos. Safe travels. ❤
What an adventure glad it all turned out good.
It's astounding how those traction boards can disappear on you. It's even more fun in mud. I feel your frustration!!
Wow could your “misadventure” have saved you from a catastrophe!! You wouldn’t have found the mechanical fault if you weren’t digging under Truck and found the cap in the snow!! You could have had a serious accident.. love your honesty explaining your mental state and your adventurous spirit. You GO GIRL!!
Oh Amanda, That was a close call. I'm glad it worked out okay & that you & Frank were okay. Thank goodness the Mechanic was kind enough squeeze you in. 😍😁🇳🇿🇦🇺 Keep Safe. 💜💚💜
Amanda you are such an awesome strong woman I can't wait to meet you I've learned so much from you already I know I can learn so much more I'm doing the van life because of you you have shown me that life is more than just being stuck in one place and not being happy thank you for being you keep up the good work give Frank a pet for me and hopefully I'll be on the road soon I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 and two dogs I'm going to do the van life I'm going to do it 😃🐕
Your resourcefulness and grit and self confidence is so inspiring, and how great the mechanics were available and Truck is fit for continuing your adventure. Have you considered one of those InReach phones? I’m sure they are pricey, helpful in remote areas for safety.
Hey Amanda, what a fun video and I am glad you guys made it out of there safe and sound and I’m glad you got it to the mechanic, and they and got it fixed for you what a beautiful drive in Nevada and California. You and Frank are so amazing so much fun thanks for taking us along on this amazing adventure. You guys be safe out there and stay warm.🇺🇸♥️🙂👍🙏🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
I always skip thru sponsored ads. Your was the first I’ve watched beginning to end. Loved the way you presented it, talking to the “other”you!😊
Like I tell my daughter, when things get hard, just take it like a man and roll with the punches, and things will work out…
Hang in there girl,
you’ll make it.😊
The universe certainly is looking out for you!!!
I'm so proud of you for going on these adventures and Having the courage to go so far, you're a trooper 👍👍👍
I can't wait until I can trust my van so, hopefully that day will come it'll be back in the shop soon but then I want to be traveling further out myself actually hoping to cross the Canadian border!
Currently -2 degrees below zero in Minocqua. 🥶
I'm always impressed with how levelheaded you are. Pushing your limits but knowing when to stop and access the situation. And Wow! Frank doesn't like coriander, does he? Lol.
I appreciate your sense of adventure and that landscape looks amazing. As someone who works in natural resource conservation those road closures should be respected and honored especially in the winter when you are not traveling in an off-road vehicle with 4x4 capability. Your situation ended up ok but it wouldn't be hard to slide off the road or damage your vehicle in a way that makes it incapacitated in an area without service or a way to get help. i know you like to challenge yourself but please take care in dangerous weather especially since Frank wouldn't be able to walk out of there with you to reach help if it was necessary.
Such beautiful views. Your adventure was incredible and I'm glad it worked out. All the best to you and Sweet Frank.
So glad you guys are safe. Sounds like you made some smart and sensible decisions - I admire how resourceful you are!
Amanda needed a mechanic,
She’s cool and didn’t panic.
She turned around and
headed back into town,
Before the problem became,
Overwhelming and gigantic.
So, if you find yourself in the
Same situation, keep you head
And you will not go down
Like the, Titanic.
Probably my most favorite video to date!! If a person can be proud of a complete stranger, I am of you. I get it. I was in a very remote forest in S. Dakota and almost had to call for help and being able to keep working with my van and knowledge base and getting myself back onto the road and on my way was quite liberating. And I love the coined phrase, "perceived safety." Thanks for sharing your adventure Amanda. And Frank looks so good! :)
Loved that phrase. Perseved Safety. You are so right!
Grateful you two are okay! I pray for you often on your travels, I’m looking forward to your next adventure! 😍
Wow!! What an adventure you, and Frank took us on. Super happy that everything turned out okay. Love your channel 😊
Moxie, confidence, adventurist, can-do attitude, an inspiration to other. Thank you.
Road closed for a good reason sorry but iam glad that u turned around and you and frank are safe
Glad u made it back into civilization to repair the issue. Always safety first.
There is nothing to be upset about Amanda. You had a good plan, stuck with it and everything is fine. The key is sticking with that plan and knowing your limits. I assume you have one of the new Garmins if real trouble ever shows up?
Hello Amanda and Frank ! I love Eastern Oregon and wish to explore more of this beautiful vastness. Love all your videos, top notch. Journey on ♥️
Lift kit and winches on both ends.
Cool adventure tho, lol 👏😊
Thank goodness for the cell tower for added convenience. 🧡🐾🧡 What an adventure 😊💚🤍🚐
Here I am. So glad 😊 to see you this morning. 35 in N Texas. Loved seeing Frank looking for a stick. I'm sipping a cup of hot tea, thinking ☕ of the cups of tea 🍵 that you show . My Bible 📖 on the table, Flag 🇺🇸 upon the wall
Happy trails to you guys
I wonder how many times that dogs tail has wagged in its life ? I named my dog A.C. he is a cool dog. Same tail movement. Have a great life my friend.
I keep a wrench and a socket for upper and lower control arms in my tools.i have everything i need to do all repairs..
One of only maybe 3 video creators that I watch because you keep it honest friendly and having a great doggie as a companion and a beautiful lady with a great sense of adventure and humor makes for a Great videos to watch stay safe much love and Good vibes y'all's way
You go girl!!
Live vicariously! You did a masterful job of the whole situation.
Boy, I tell you Frank trusts you 100%.
I’m looking forward to your next adventure…. 25:07
Your a brave one! Just started my nomadic life 11/22. Adjusting to retirement and some of the loneliness that goes with it. Currently in Arizona.
Amanda, you are such a brave young woman and a very impressive storyteller. I truly appreciate the love and care you have for Frank on your adventures and you kept your wits about you. I would have freaked out. Great job and I look forward to the next one! Take care and stay safe always!
I was just like you when I was younger I loved adventure. I once drove from Kelowna to Whitehorse using only logging roads straight through the middle of the province. It was early April and still winter in Northern B.C. and the Yukon. I had a few scary times, 20 foot walls of snow and barely making it to the next gas station but I made it. I took the Alaskan highway home though and it was so much easier. I guess what I’m saying is I get what you are doing, just be careful. Have a great time and I am very impressed with your willingness to not only try new things but also concur them. Happy travels !🦋🐕
Hi from North Carolina
I'm glad everything worked out
Phew! Glad that all turned out well. That jazzed up lentil soup looks so tasty!
Truly enjoyed this video as I do each of them. But, this one was special. You are showing us that everything is not perfect. Don't panic, have your pity party, then get'r done. Fantastic. Very much enjoyed the segment of you talking to you. That was awesome. Love you, glad you and Frank are in the states. Brings you closer to us, on our stomping ground.
Beautiful Life!!!! ✨💖✨
Awwwwww Frank
So Happy you made it ok. It's really nice that you're self-sufficient. Wishing you a good week.
I know right where you were, lol! I'm so glad you were able to get Truck fixed, and you and Frank had no troubles getting to the shop. Keep on adventuring. ❤
Well done...i am with you all the way from thailand...u are amazaing!
Frank on the couch was the best! Any chance of You and Foresty meeting up again? I would love to see Frank have a Romo with Rocko!
You seem to be very content right now. You are smiling and laughing. It's really nice to see. Frank is looking great. The trip to the states seems to agree with you. Glad everything has worked out for you.
Stay safe and keep trucking!
Hope you have a way to call for help when out of cell coverage. InReach, or something stay safe
Amanda squared. Twice the fun. Twice the adventure.
Love the face mask 😁. Hiiii Frank ❤
You had me on the edge of my seat!
Frank seems to be very happy and active in the snow Amanda.
Hey your in our neck of the woods looks like Cedarville possibly if your head east in Nevada people have got lost out there safe travels🧚♂️😀
I wasn’t worried a bit about you and Frankie because I know you can handle anything that comes your way!!!
Hi Amanda and Frank!! Love the drone footage 😀 Glad nothing serious was wrong with Truck and situation easily fixed!!!
I have always thought you had beautiful hair! Sorry you got a little stressed. Please be careful. The states are not like Canada. LoL we do not have a lot of people out in the country staying or venturing around. Just please be safe. Loved the video as usual. Hugs to Frank and see ya next time. Much love from Iowa!!❤️❄️❤️❄️
Sooo you ARE going to have a BIG crescent wrench with you from now on right !!?? Glad your ok !!
Amanda Thank goodness you made it too your destination. So awesome you and Frank sitting on a couch while getting your van fixed up. Safe travels you two. Thank you for sharing ❤️
You may be the only vanlifer with marjoram.
Wow! Didn’t you just have the suspension and all checked before you left Canada?!? It is so awesome that you know so much about your vehicle. Your abilities surely saved your bacon in this situation. Now, I’m gonna pray for your safety. I mean, I know you’re back on the road, but on these adventures we just never know, right? Thanks for sharing. I’m so encouraged and inspired to have some of my own adventures. Be safe and take care!!
What an amazing determined beautiful young lady you are.
You are so brave,and non-stoppable. so many, many things to love and admire in you. We ❤️❤️you and Frank dearly.
You are awesome... Thanks for the adventure... I will check out the discount land opportunities.the look interesting.
I'd love to see you install a 6" lift...Great video, Mahalo for sharing.
California isn't as bad as being stuck. It is good you and Frank are okay despite the snow drifts.
You’re amazing. Thank you for sharing your story.
I got scared there for a moment for you. I remembered getting stuck no signal no track boards and praying.(not compared at all with your ordeal).. afterward mixed emotions yet relief and adrenaline of achievement..your awesome and so handled it with poise👊🙏
Nothing can stop you, Amanda! You're so smart to stop periodically to check on the control arm. After the shop I was cheering, "try again, try again!" And then you said you would! 👏👏👏🥳 Awesome shades btw!
Wow! Inspiring, adventure, edge-of the-seat thrills and teachable moments…awesome video. So so glad you made it safe back to town and look forward to someday seeing this trip again…3rd times a charm🤣!!
I just love this “Amanda talking to Amanda” sponsored ad you did. Good job (and very interesting and entertaining).
Also I wanted to thank you for making the adds skipable. While I usually watch your videos at home on wifi (and don’t mind watching a few adds to support you and Frank), I appreciate being able to skip a few when I am on my lunch break at work without wifi.
I truly enjoy following your adventures and your resilience. You “teach” good life lessons.
Life is like a rollercoaster with its ups n downs! Your pretty amazing...luv watching your vblogs and cant wait till the next one! safe travels.....
Looks like you're having a good time -- and staying safe. Yay! Looking forward to more adventures. My regards to Frank. ❤
Good for you. See you next time!
