    Elsa, you mentioned how much trash that woman accumulated in a weekend. It got me thinking, you guys should talk about your trash system. How you keep it low, how you store it, how you dispose of it, how you recycle, how you keep it from attracting animals when you're out in the wild, etc. I'd be real interested!

    As I sit and watch this and listen to the commentary about where you and Barron are, I feel an incredible amount of empathy for those who cannot afford 40 acres somewhere or a home in Seattle or anywhere else for that matter. I have spent time in an RV park and the people that I have met are some of the most genuine peeps anywhere. Whilst you may comment about the noise of children and dogs and the travails of having your car broken down, I am refreshed that you know how fortunate you are.
    I embrace each day with a huge thanks for the day and how lucky I am to be where I am.

    Loved seeing Kristi on your screen as you made your protein drink!❤️ I really enjoy watching your videos. I am in awe of the lengths you go to to exist in that tiny little space. At this point in my life, I love having an ice-maker in my fridge, an attached garage, a walk-in shower, a pool in the backyard, garbage pick-up twice a week, someone who cuts the lawn and trims the shrubs, someone who cleans my house, heat and air-conditioning and a nice king-size bed that we can stretch out on with the kitties, running water and flush toilets. I feel like I am living a dream ... but you are living a dream too and I really appreciate you bringing me along for the ride. Hope your car is fixed soon ... having car issues is a bummer!

    Not such a bad place really! But living in a RV park has its advantages really. People around for one! Can’t wait to see you guys to be on your land

    Get a old Highlander Hybrid AWD...you can use it as a generator and emergency shelter. The hybrid system allows all sorts of benefits and energy options. It's also dead reliable and can tow. Hope you land on your feet!

    I always love watching your videos. They force me to slow down & appreciate the little things in my life as well. I always feel so calm & grateful after watching your videos. 🤍

    Oof head gasket replacement on a subie is rough. Smart route to just replace the engine if you’re planning on keeping the car

    I'm sorry to hear about the breakdown! We tried replacing the engine in one of our cars and it didn't last very long. But you have a really great crew so I'm hoping you have better luck!
