Linnea, I just finished my 1.5 mile morning walk with my dog. I sat down and watched you and Akela. I was right there with you and it was wonderful! I’m 73 with some health issues so I will never experience the things you do, but I feel like I’m there when I watch! Thank you so much for sharing your travels. ❤
When I was 17yo..I told my Pentecostal parents...I did not want to marry or have kids..I wanted to travel...fast forward to 52yo, two marriages, two kids...I met a man...we sold everything,bought a motorhome and hit the road...26 states in 8 years... completed our bucket lists...COVID set back..today..this day..sold another house, bought a motorhome and hitting the road again... we're happy traveling .. you inspire my gypsy soul..thank you love
What a life and you’ve still got decades left! I’m so inspired!! 🥹
When I read "my gypsy soul" I instantly thought of Into the Mystic by Van Morrison one of my all time favourite songs. I was brought up in a Baptist household and had my son at 18 and I'm a wanderer I can't stay in one place too long. What a life you've lead and long may it continue I hope youre enjoying your travels
What a incredible experience/ journey you took us all on. I'm blown away by your skills, filming, narrating, capturing every moment with such intensity... Thank you for this gift. Stay safe... love from Austin Texas ❤ 🐾❤🐾
Thank you so much! I enjoyed all of the intense video & editing of this one... so happy you love it!!❤️
I totally agree. Thank you for sharing.

Epic
This is THE most badass video you've shared with us yet. How absolutely beautiful. It reads like an honest to goodness professional nature film. So excited to see more creations from you. Much awe and respect from the Anderson Clan in Florida!
Wow, thank you so so much!! I definitely put my heart and soul in this one. I really had the best trip, and was so excited to share. Seriously, thank you!!
Agree 100%.
Good job
So emotional when this video ended…beautifully done. Great storytelling. Amazing visually. So proud of you and Akela. Your bond touches me as a fur mama of two. The last shot of you in the wilderness. So perfect. Autobiographical author shot. Seriously, your writing/journaling/storytelling/wisdom/introspection is so inspiring to hear and watch. Bravo! Truly Epic. -Kim
Kim thank you so much for this amazing feedback, I really took my time on this one! This completely filled my heart, makes sharing so much worth it. Thank you 💛
@@Linneaandakela you deserve every bit of it! And to see a moose?!? All of that beauty that final morning was a message to do more backpacking. 😉 Rest up-I enjoy all of your videos but this one is #1!
Well, this little set of comments summed it up perfectly for me! I finished watching this epic video with tears at its beauty and honesty. I could not be happier for you and Akela that you were able to experience such a wonderful backpacking trip. "Thank you" seems like such a small phrase to encompass my gratitude for all that you shared. But truly, my life is richer for having watched this, one of your best videos. Thank you!
After skimming the comments I realized there is nothing I can say to express my gratitude that you & Akela share these experiences. I’ve been in a deep dark hole for awhile now, but your adventures help me escape, if only for minutes. Thank you. ❤
Hugs! I completely understand. Sending prayers for comfort.
@@hopemurphy9093 thank you! That is so sweet!
I hope you're feeling a bit better...and if you aren't, just remember this.
Tough times won't last forever but tough people do.
Things will get easier with time, don't be afraid to smile sometimes.
@@obtuseangler768 ❤️
I agree. My crazy life topped with depression and being stuck in the city. I love living through others when i can. I hope you are doing better fellow human. 💖💚💞💕
You are wonderful...I did a 20 days in the Nevada desert alone...changed me for my life...no fears..nature is healing..I'm proud of you.
Mojave is like nothing else
I will be 73 next week and I yearn for an experience in the wilderness with a marvelous dog and camper van. I've had a good life but yet there is more in me to travel and discover our beautiful country. The world is so misaligned. I pray that they will stop.think.before that act irrationally and disturbed. GOD provided us everything we need and we can embrace life as you discovered on this trip...not rushed, no chatter, no discontent. I pray for days ahead just like you shared. Thank you Linnea and Akela for sharing your joy with us. ❤
Thank you so much Linnea, I’m in my 40s but trained in college to be a wilderness guide…now my back doesn’t let me backpack…we need woman like you to show other young woman that the wilderness is essential for our Wholeness as human beings. Have you ever considered leading woman’s wilderness trips? even just one a year would change lives. Gratitude for your courage and sharing~ 🦌🙏(I guess they don’t have a moose emoji )
Love love love this idea!! I would be so in! What a great way to help get other women prepared to do it on thier own and to experience it!
also, a gear list with links.
and if yo would choose something different...😍
"It's preparation. Then commitment. Then adjustment." This struck me like a hammer in a good way because that's life in general, right? Because no matter how much you prepare, you have to be able to commit but also to adjust because things seldom turn out exactly as we've planned and prepared for. This video was AMAZING!! I feel like I always say that but truly, the sentiment is from the heart each time. I watched last night. Am rewatching as I prepare to head to my job while wishing I was preparing for a solo trek instead. The reemergence of the purple puffy jacket made me smile. The narration along with the video clips - it's just a perfect video. Thank you for taking us along on your solo trek.
Linnea… thank you. So glad I found you. There are things I've never done and never will. Vicariously you take me along and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In 1979 I broke my back and neck in a motorcycle crash so I'm in a wheelchair for 44 years. I'm not whining or complaining. I love life, and nature… thank you for making it accessible for me
That was incredible. The way you tell your stories, it’s like a book I just can’t put down. I feel like I’m right there with you. Keep up the good job and please stay safe
Can you imagine what it must have been like for the early settlers traveling without our modern camping equipment?
Super great footage of the moose and deer ...well done 🙏
Yes! I have so much respect for them all ❤ and knowing they are us and we are them gives me strength.
Linnea!!! Wow, I am so grateful for your talent and bravery, so lucky to tag along. Many comments touch on my feeling of awe and gratitude, I’m adding to the chorus. “Hugs to the two of you’!
I love what you do, and please dont stop. Most people dont have the courage to follow their passion and live a full life. Seeing someone actually doing what their heart tells them is truly motivating. Thank you!
Now this was an incredible film! We were able to go right alongside you and experience so much with you!! Thank you for all the time you put into this! Perfect timing for getting that new lens! That moose! Wow!!!!
Even though I grew up in Norway, I haven’t yet experienced car camping or traveling in that way, Abe and I definitely going to have to go back and do that sometime.
Sooo glad you had an amazing time in the wilderness!
Beautiful and awesome video!
I’m a 75 year old female and I so enjoy watching solo females accomplish things like this. Beautiful footage…..so well done.
I also kept thinking, what a very good and well-trained Dog you have. I was so surprised that he didn’t bark at or try to chase the deer or the moose. ❤😊
Omg it looks like you had an amazing time. Thank you for taking us along with you. As a daughter I have two disabled parents in to different households so I go back and forth between both homes so I never really get to take time to myself, however I do get away through you and the amazing videos and journeys you share. So thank you for taking the time out of your days to share your journeys with everyone.
What a very thought provoking trip into the wilderness. A time to reset and connect with nature. Then seeing the velveted moose and getting some amazing shots of him. What memories you have made. Look forward to the next adventure ❤❤
This was beautifully filmed and edited. Love seeing a solo female backpacker sharing their story in such a beautiful way!
I would say that so many of us women live vicariously through you. Would love to do the adventures you do but I’m much older now so love to watch your channel.
Beautifully conceived, deeply moving offering Linnea. Thank you both for touching our hearts and inspiring our minds❤️
One woman with a dog and a few cameras, living in a tent, can create better content than Hollywood.
10/10
💚
I have been looking forward to this one for so long and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT holy cow Linnea this is absolute artistry. Beautiful, stunning. You're an unbelievable film maker. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Connecting with strangers from around the world through your experiences, thoughts, emotions and a shared love of respect for our home on this big beautiful planet. Bravo, Linnea. ❤
This video hit a lot harder for me; to the point of invoking tears to fall. I don’t know where they came from. Maybe from the simplicity of reaching your destination using the fuel from your body. Perhaps from the quiet serene beauty of all that surrounded you. I think its the beauty in your words and how your narrate that truly brings us in to see a tiny glimpse of your love for Akela, and your love for the land.
Again, hats off to you, Linnea. Thank you.
Life... so many take it for granted. So many fail to realize it is our purpose. Thank you, again, for the amazing content. You and Akela's adventures are always so heartwarming. Keep being you, Linnea. Love and hugs to you and your precious pup. The moose was spectacular. We have many up here in Canada. I'm still in awe any time I see one. :)
Yep - absolutely love that feeling of being tired and getting into a tent as the rains starts...missing my travels at the moment but will have that time some day, but for the moment enjoying watching your adventures. Watching from the UK.
I did not want this video to end. My soul aches for mountains and trees. Thank you for taking me along❣️
Love this video. I honestly felt myself on this journey with you.
It brought back my memories of hiking in New Mexico. Being inside my tent in the rain. Good memories. Akela made the trip even more special. Nature always replenishes my soul.
I admire your wild brave free poet’s heart. Your true love for nature shines through all you do. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Stay safe dear one.♥️
What an awesome video filled with so much beauty. Thanks for bringing us along. Would love to see more like this.
I love that you use an actual paper map. 🗺️🏕️🏔️💚
It's the only way! haha
Absolutely stunning experiences and footage! Seeing a Moose in Nature is overwhelming...such great footage!!! Thank you for the thrills of living through it vicariously!!!
Every video I watch of yours brings me to tears. Tears of joy. You are so inspiring and nothing makes me smile more than the relationship you share with Akela, makes my heart happy. Thank you 🥰
Thank you so so much ❤️ I appreciate your kindness a lot!!
This is hands down my favorite and your best video yet. And i say that about each new video you put out because they just keep getting better. I loved everything about this. The landscape, the challenges and how you told the story. Amazing job girlfriend.
After watching this emotionally beautiful video, I had to pause before I could even comment. My soul connected with this video in ways that I could only imagine. Your narrative and introspective thoughts blew me away. The wilderness calls to me and yet I'm afraid I'll never make it. On July 27th i bought a new van. Not the exact one i wanted but one that was so much bigger than my SUV. July 29th was my 60th birthday and the day I had a major heart attack though i didnt realize it at the time. That following Monday I had another. Finally went to ER. Well emergency surgery and a stent later I'm on the road to recovery. Im building my van out and though I'm a little scared, Im hitting the road when done. Linnea I so admire your tenacity and love for life. I hope to meet you on the road one day so I can personally ty for your inspiration and to hug Akiela. Ty for the most beautiful video and congrats on your Moose sighting. ❤
Linnea, I found myself smiling and tearing up through this whole video. Thank you for including us on your journey. Akela is the sweetest soul.
As an older generation female, I truly appreciate you showing younger women that many things are possble. You, young lady are paving the way for others to follow.
Your excitement over the moose was the best kind of serotonin for a Monday morning ❤
What awesome footage and a wonderful solo adventure.
What a beautiful adventure. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
This was such an amazing video, my favorite seen on CZcams ever. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us!
Thankyou for another wonderful video and sharing your experience! ❤ I’m from Australia so seeing another part of the world and your adventures in it each week is like a little gift 😊
I live vicariously through videos like yours and I really appreciate them . I’m 72 with neuropathy and balance issues that has caused many trips and falls. The worst so far happened this past June. I slipped and fell breaking the tibial plateau of my left knee. My hiking days among other activities are no longer so I really enjoy these videos. Thank you for sharing your videos and many blessings on your journey for peace and safety on your travels.
Linnea this was my favorite movie of yours yet. You nailed it. The sense of wonder, excitement, apprehension...it felt like I was really along with you for my own journey of it. Just beautiful. I've followed you since the van build and you have really come so so far, girl. Keep being amazing!!
Akela and you sitting side by side really brings me such joy, I can get a glimpse of a connection that is so so so full of love and trust.
I've been following you since the beginning.. from seeking for and finding your van through the DIY build out of the van ... to the introduction to and the interaction with your family. But this by far is the best video you have ever made sweetheart.. and although we have never met, this 81 yr old man feels so proud of what you have accomplished .. almost as if you were my own granddaughter. I hope you continue with your exploration of life and all it has to offer and will contimue to share it through your videos.
So many people had wonderful comments about this video. Wisconsin will always be special to me because I grew up there. And it makes me happy to hear you talk about Wisconsin. Akela is a very special dog, and she is smart and beautiful. Stay safe wherever you travel.
Your videos are a combo of an audio book & a movie. Thank you for sharing your adventures & insight... 🤟🤗
Wow thank you!! I appreciate it a lot :)
Wow! Wonderful videography, stunning scenery, well chosen music, moving commentary, and a relationship with your dog that is inspiring! Gracias👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏼
You have an old soul, Linnea. Such amazing pearls of wisdom from one so young. I love how you are living your life. Keep the videos coming and walk in peace.
One of the best videos you have ever done. Nice work. Good story, good visuals!
Nothing like rain hitting on your tent and being cozy and warm!! ❤
I live vicariously through you, even though I'm past being able to do a trip like that. One of my fondest memories is a backpacking trip in the high country of Yosemite. These old knees can't do that anymore, but I get out in the woods whenever I have the chance.
Absolutely love love love this video. What others have said… I have to say the moose took my breath away. The beautiful scenery and story you were telling I am just blown away. 👏
You are such an inspiration to all. Beautiful scenery and you and your lovely friend tequila are troopers . Thanks for taking me for the ride. Pls stay safe
Really enjoy your Vlog of this solo trip! Brings back memories of my own annual 1-2 weeks long solo trips into the White Mountains with my backpack and flyrod. It's not only an escape from "civilization" but a re-grounding into the fabric of Mother Earth. The first days were always a battle quieting the voices in my own head. Eventually, the voices die down and I can settle into the quietude and relish the solitude. These days I am good for short 4-5 days in. Nothing challenging but always with the "goal" of settling next to a stream or pond loaded with native trout. Flyfishing for trout is essentially trying to be present and reconnect with my own center. Again, gratitude for sharing your trip.
FUCK YES! There is nothing like time in the back country with a loyal pup. Thanks for sharing and happy trails. Much love ❤
You are living life to the fullest. Your beauty, strength and bravery are impressive.
Inspiring. I'm 49, just discovered what you are talking about. Can't help but to be envious that you have realized such truths at a young age. Not sure how long this body will be able to endure the hiking. Better late than never. Be well. Stay true to your Spirit. Beautiful doggie. Beautiful Moose. Beautiful video. Great job. You're killing it!!!!
I found your channel while vegging on backpacking videos. I used to be an avid backpacker but health and life situations changed. I'm now 71 and was gearing up to hike the Israel National Trail or at least some of the easier legs, until the war happened eleven days ago (a day after my birthday). So, no idea when I will be able to go or even "if" as I'm not getting any younger. Watching your video helped me live through you vicariously and forget some of the horrendous stuff that has happened in the last week if even just for a few minutes! Thank you!
That was so absolutely MOVING. What an amazing filmmaker you've become! Just wow, blown away.
Linnea and Akela, you are amazing!! The way you share your heart through your experiences is inspiring. I loved the quote about feeling the discomfort, notice the newness, and enjoy the beauty. I just don’t have words to express how much I enjoy your work, the art of a meaningful life.
Thank you so so much for this ♥️
Damn girl, you're getting so good at this. Almost a spiritual segment. As an old AT packer (long ago) I get it. Nice to see it through your soul.
This video has given me an experience of the high country that I cannot get on my own. Love your relationship with nature, your doggo and your fearless desire to embrace the wilderness. Gorgeous landscapes. Thank you ~
Thank you for the gift of your words, your light and your views. Thank you for the beauty of what you witnessed ❤
... A beautiful outing with the BEST trail companion ever ... Enjoyed it all .. the hike ,, the catch and cook and the moments of awe with a moose a breath away ,, so cool ... Stay Safe and God Bless ...
Dear Linnea, your videos are like a dreamworld for me. As a disabled person I admire your physical health and strength. As a citizen of the Netherlands I adore the vastness of US nature. As a doglover Akela and the bond you hold make me so happy.
Your reflective skills show intelligence and I think you are inspiring to a lot of people. Thank you!
🙏🏼❤️
I have to say that this episode is (was) one of my favorites. I just found your videos again. I am glad that you are still living in your van.
Your joy and this journey were perfect! Thanks so much for sharing❤
You are so lucky to have had this adventure with such a good dog!
That honestly was one of your best videos! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. Blessings to you and Akela.
Really enjoyed your experience and thank you for taking us with you. The videography was stupendous and your narration was soothing and exciting at the same time. Such beauty you captured and your paring of the music you chose was fantastic. Thank you again for sharing!
I just love everything about this. Thank you!
Best one yet! Thanks for all the feels.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. This was amazing!
Thank you for sharing that with all of us, Linnea & Akela. What a wonderful gift the wilderness is.
Stellar video Linnea, you captured it all so perfectly and your excitement for this moose made me cry for you, in all the good ways, being emerged in the nature around you living amongst the wildness, being a part of it! Amazing trip! 💜
Breathtaking video ❤ your skills and passion in each video continues to grow and it has been so much fun to watch over the last several years. This was by far your best video yet ❤ loved all of the footage and your own words. Great job Linnea!! What an adventure 🏕️🏔️🫎
Wondeful video Linnea. :) Thank you so much for the calmness and sense of serenity in your videos. I have been following you for a while now and really, truly appreciate your respect for nature and your love for the simple life.
WOW!!! You are incredible!!! Great job!!! I'm sure it was the most valuable time you spent in life... How beautiful it must have been...👍💪✌️❤️
this video was a joy in everyway. thank you for sharing and taking us along
I can't express enough the joy this brought to my day after working at my computer for 11 hours. Loved every second! Thank you. Now, I just need to figure out how to make this my life.
OH MY GOODNESS!! This video is amazing. You are amazing! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Safe travels for you and Akela ❤
What an AMAZING video Linnea! Absolutely breathtaking visit from brother moose! So incredible! Great footage! Just wow! So happy for you! ♥️
Thank you!! Yes, wasn't he just beautiful?! I appreciate you! 💛
WoW…Linnea! An extraordinary adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
You are truly amazing. Each video is a new adventure. Thank you for sharing the journey with us.
That was lovely! Thanks for sharing your adventure and your thoughts
This has to be one of my most favorite videos of yours! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I spent 6 years in the Marines so I understand totally the killer hip bruises that come along with hiking for miles with heavy weight. But one of my biggest morale boosters, apart from smoking and joking with my brothers, was putting on fresh clothes after hiking in the cold rainy weather. You are spot on 🤘🏼
Absolutely incredible journey! Thanks for bringing us along! So beautiful! ❤❤❤❤
There is actually SOOO much forest and open, empty space on the earth. That there isn’t is a myth.
You and the messages of gratitude and energy and returning to our roots and appreciating nature and the bond you share with your baby are all so so incredible. Thank you for sharing with us. Be safe. All the love from Florida
This was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for a wonderful video! Beauty abound in this journey! Loved it!! You and Akela are super!!
I can’t say enough how absolutely thought provoking and inspiring your video was to me. Your heart & soul are truly felt throughout Linnea, thank you for all you do and share with us.❤️❤️❤️
Your videos are an experience for all of us that you share it with. Thank you so much for including us!
This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you! Definitely one of my fave videos you've made. You're so talented!!
What a beautiful video! I was glued to my screen not wanting it to end! Stunning and inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing adventure 🙏🌹
Your new lens is Amazing! Thank you for taking us with you in your journey.
