    I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We have lived in a van for 9.5+ 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.

    Always a pleasure to see your new posting. I always drop everything to watch! One statement I replay when I make hard decisions is: When you say "no" to someone you're saying "yes!" to yourself! You're such a wise young woman.❤

      That’s a statement that’s been on my mind a lot lately also. Thank you ☺️

    There’s such an obsession with external appearance. When people comment on how I look, whether positive or negative, I say I’m much more than what I look like. Those who really see you, they are your people ❤

  • @mikeranfurly1135
    @mikeranfurly1135 Před 6 měsíci +27

    Our body is just the vehicle that carrys around the soul and the essence of who we are. Beauty flows out, from the inside of ourselves, and that is the person true friends live, not the outward shell. You are so amazing in your philosophy for one so young.

  • @moragsu
    @moragsu Před 6 měsíci +42

    Frank is really looking good, I’m so happy to see that. And for the rest, just take one day at a time,most of us have chronic issues and it changes us but the best thing is to just take one day at a time and enjoy each day as much as you can.

  • @piperforever8320
    @piperforever8320 Před 6 měsíci +40

    I just discovered your channel recently and I absolutely love it. I also have a chronic illness (Crohn's Disease) so I can relate to how you feel . I have had huge body images over the years between surgery scars and being underweight and then getting overweight. I am 51 and have been dealing with it for over 30 years. There are many ups and downs. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself they have not walked in your shoes.

  • @spookydonkey2195
    @spookydonkey2195 Před 6 měsíci +34

    Amanda, you are one of two creators I give to on Patreon. The reason is because I believe you are an absolutely amazing person whom I strive to be more like every day. Thank you for your honesty, thank you for Frank, thank you.

    The hell with what everyone thinks, you’re a beautiful person with an outstanding talent. Frank is so lucky. Thank you for all the wonderful content you’ve shared with all of us this year l appreciate it. You’re a brave soul and I’m always impressed with your Van, most people wouldn’t even consider taking that vintage van the places you do.
    You’re in our thoughts and prayers. I hope things turn for the better, keep at it, stay positive and let’s make this molehill into a mountain !
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    Amanda, I am so sorry you have been hurt. You do not deserve it as you are so wonderful. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I am glad you took the voices away from the trolls. I look forward to your videos and always love them. Thank you for such deep honesty

    @jennifferhurlburt642 Před 6 měsíci +4

    So happy to see you today!
    It's impressive that you are putting your health, physical and mental first. I'm a 53 year old woman and still learning to do the same. It takes bravery to be able to say no to people that jeopardize that! You should be proud of yourself. Please give Frank a kiss and a cuddle from me. Enjoy your time on the coast and we look forward to seeing your videos.

  • @tinad2847
    @tinad2847 Před 6 měsíci +5

    People that say cruel things do it because they have very low self-esteem and are trying to make themselves feel better by bringing others down. I’m glad that you’ve moved on and that you’re not allowing people like that to take up your precious time and attention. They are not worth it, for sure.
    I love watching your videos and listening to your drumming. I love seeing Frank. He’s such a treasure!
    Give dear Frank some scritches from me. Happy Holidays and take care!

  • @mspuddin931
    @mspuddin931 Před 6 měsíci +4

    Good ole Frank! You are the best person a dog could have! And to think so many think disabled pups have to be put down “for their own good”. No, it’s so you don’t have to adjust your life. I am SO sorry Amanda that you have been feel ill. Btw. You are so beautiful❣️ from the inside too ❣️

  • @lorid2092
    @lorid2092 Před 6 měsíci +7

    Hey friends, we can help Amanda by rewatching older videos. You can just start them and let them run, whether you watch it actively or not. It helps her.❤

  • @whitleyrobertson7070
    @whitleyrobertson7070 Před 6 měsíci +7

    I found you through Backcountry and have enjoyed every video. Your adventure through Alaska was outstanding and I am so impressed with your courage and comfort to be out in the wild alone, well with Frank. You are a beautiful person, as women we appreciate how brave, determined and confident as you are.

    @caseyjude5472 Před 6 měsíci +5

    Thank you for making the comment section safe for us. It’s not easy & can be time consuming. FWIW I, an internet stranger, like how you look. It’s why I clicked on your video to start with. And continue to watch. I’m a little more than halfway through the “start from the beginning” playlist.
    Edit: winter plans sound excellent! Maybe you’ll see a Sasquatch? ❤

    I don't comment this every time, but I could -- I so incredibly appreciate how fortunate Frank is to have you. I hope you have the highest order of comfort knowing that you gave a partially disabled dog close to a decade of extra quality years, in addition to all the wonderful mountain journeys he had as a pup.

  • @SoulsprouterZ

    You are beautiful. My daughter was a very talented ballet dancer and she dealt with cruel dancers that would torment her because she got dance parts they wanted, it never ceases to amaze me how horrible people can be. She finally just walked away from dance, and after she did she became the happy little girl I hadn’t seen in a long time. Just be yourself, all I can tell you is your videos are incredible and you bring a lot of happiness to a lot of people that might not be able to travel like you do for one reason or another. God Bless

    Seeing how well Frank is doing, it must be the bark intake, therefore, I must get some bark in my diet.

  • @laraine_w
    @laraine_w Před 6 měsíci +7

    Thank you Amanda for always taking the time and energy to make videos for youtube. I'm sure you know other creators are also saying the same things you are about subscribers being cut off, youtube not sharing with as many viewers, etc. I am so glad you have Patreon. I wish I could afford it, but since the fire, I can barely make it day to day. So, I really appreciate you providing great, encouraging, positive content for me to relax with. I feel like I know you and Frank. Thanks for that too.
    That being said, thanks for the updates. I'm glad you are both hanging in there. Love the greenery and water scenes. When you feel like making music to put on, I also appreciate that. You have definitely grown as a musician since taking up the musical drums.(dont know the correct name)
    I always try to look after myself, but with chronic mental health injuries, I can always use a little positivity and encouragement...please do look after you as well. 🙏💜🌻☮️ For me, its Merry Christmas now, so merry whatever you celebrate Amanda; and thank you for being you.🎉 Bye for now! ✌️😎

  • @user-cd1bw8xn8h
    @user-cd1bw8xn8h Před 6 měsíci +4

    Oh, Amanda, you and I have so much in common. I have chronic illness and chronic pain as well because of lupus and other connective tissue diseases, arthritis, etc., and I have had body image issues my entire life. I love spending time alone in wilderness but can no longer do it because of my health problems so I cherish each and every one of your videos. It sounds like you're making good decisions for yourself. I hope all of your tests turn out well. Take care. Hugs.

You and Frank are living a grand adventure and I appreciate you taking us along for the ride through your videos. Very inspiring!

    ❤😊❤I love your channel. I went looking for mushrooms for the 1st time because of you, (I didn't pick any because I am still unsure of identifying them). I tell myself everyday, "Don't live with any regrets because of other people or your own mind playing games with you....Just live honestly and happily...Then everything will fall into place in time ". I look forward to seeing both you and Frank, (He looks soooo happy❤🎉❤).

  • @lorimiller3436

    I'm so happy you're back but I understand your need to take some time off. You are such an incredible inspiration to me and to many others that also suffer chronic health issues . Your attitude and honesty picks me up and helps me try to keep a positive attitude especially when my body is constantly in flux with degrees of pain and fatigue. Positive thoughts and words give me strength and joy in spite of chronic illnesses. Thank you for being an awesome influence. Much love and positivity to you and Frank ❤

    I love that you set boundaries and don’t let the negative thoughts wander in your brain. You’re a smart intuitive young lady. I admire that. I’m just learning how to set boundaries to protect myself at 64 yrs old. I guess I’m not too old to learn new ways. You are such a good dog mom to Frank. He’s a happy, healthy, well cared for boy! ☮️

  • @Ally2018.
    @Ally2018. Před 6 měsíci +3

    I looove your videos. Especially because you dont present yourself like those insta models in a van looking so artificial and staged. We can relate to your content much easier then theirs. And I trust you more. You are natural and cute, and your videos are calming but very interesting. And Frank really got into our hearts too.

    I admire your candor and courage in facing the camera even when you don't want to -- I share a similar critical view of my appearance to what you described. I love the coastal mountains and am looking forward to your winter videos. We think of you and Frank often and appreciate your updates. As for the weight -- it would be much more disconcerting if you were losing it without wanting to and couldn't put it back on. You have overcome a lot. Wishing you and Frank all the best always.

    Don't forget that people that talk about you or put you down to you or behind your back is not a reflection of what you are and who are. It's a reflection of themselves and how they feel about themselves so they externally throw it at other people. You are a beautiful wise kind down to earth person, never let anybody make you feel bad about yourself.

    Amanda! My heart hurts for you when you are so transparent with your body image struggles! I don’t know if hearing it from a complete stranger (although I am a Patreon) would actually help you but your actual physical person has nothing to do with why I enjoy your content so much. Your physical person has also NEVER made me not want to watch. You’re perfectly fine and very easy on the eye. But I watch to follow your nomadic journey. I have enjoyed watching your skills as a videographer and editor grow. I love seeing all the amazing places you go and the sounds of nature. And I am going to LOVE this winter’s content in the lush greenery. I sure hope to visit myself some day soon.

    This shit's deep, boss. How you record yourself so candidly and put it online is a huge flex. In general, people suck. Keep on truckin', you're doing great.

    I just turned 61 and I always had issues about the body and face, now I just feel lucky I have a body that works fairly well, and when I look at old pics of me I realize I was pleasant looking and I wish I knew that back then. You are adorable and hopefully you can know that ❤.

    Your channel is in my top three and I watch quite a lot of CZcams. I look so forward to your videos and when I see one has popped up I make a special time to view it. I think you're amazing just the way you are Amanda. And I think you're on a great path, kicking sand over what doesn't suit you. Taking care of yourself is always an excellent choice! I'm in a transition as well. I felt so much of what you said in this video. You make a difference in my life. And of course I love Frank❤ Plz, take as much time as you need. Although I do appreciate it when you do a little pop in just to let us know you're doing okay. I'm always willing to wait for great entertainment and your content is always entertaining. Have a wonderful Yuletide season and I'll see you when I see you. Take care!

    You are a beautiful soul Amanda! I always, always look forward to your videos! I’m in Michigan facing a winter as an old woman alone, heating with wood. It will likely be my last winter here. It’s time to sell my home. I’m trying to stay optimistic and your beautiful rainforest will definitely help me make it until spring! God bless you and Frank ❤

    I find that the older I get my negative voices don't say much about my body, which is generally fluffy. Pretty much everybody is far more worried about what they look like than what I look like. I enjoy your videos and wish you and Frank a very Merry Christmas.

    Thank you Amanda for being you!! For choosing to create and share. I love living vicariously through you're channel and seeing and hearing about how you (and Frank!)are getting along in this crazy world. Sending lots of love back. Cheers to fun adventures and finding ones self through the journey. 💖😊✌️🎶🦋

    Hi Amanda, great video as always! I’m sorry that things have gotten you down, especially about the ex-friend. It sounds like there was some jealousy at play; I’m just guessing, of course but maybe they realize that they can never be like you, beautiful inside and out. I’m sure that the current CZcams slump is just temporary, as you make great videos. Very few people have the kind of adventures that you do! Have a great holiday season and give Frank a big hug!

    For someone who hikes as much as you doesn😢mean you aren’t fit. I am amazed at your quality of physical homage you do. I walk four dogs every morning not nearly as far as you do with your hiking and i haven’t lost any weight myself. It does get frustrating but you are who you are and we all love everything about you.

    Fairly new to the channel, but loving your videography skills and the content. You clearly have the skills to grow your channel, so my advice is to worry less and just keep going. Sometimes things are slow to get off the ground but then takes off when you least expect. Keep real and enjoy life. Merry Christmas from Scotland.

    people who say mean things always have their own issues and are projecting on others, talking to a version of themselves rather than the actual person they are talking to. people are cruel and great at the same tinme, just know you have a lot of great people supporting you!

    Our stories seem to have a lot in common. Even if you don't continue to chase the CZcams algorithms, it's been fun and comforting watching someone go through relatable experiences and share. It's ALMOST enough to convince me to start a CZcams channel in the spirit of helping/inspiring others. I'm not certain I could survive the editing process let alone the comments. Thank you for sharing!

    Seems like you're in a good place to center and set boundaries. Always self first, and of course Frank. Totally appreciate your open honesty about life. Which includes supporting yourself. Though I still don't earn on YT I am soon to make a dramatic return after three months of "life got in the way". Look forward to your coming travels. Follow your bliss ❤
