Simplicity-Rules-The-Nomad-Bob Davis Podcast 1110

Simplicity Rules The Nomad

Firstly I am always surprised at the amount of interest in nomad life. Details in Simplicity-Rules-The-Nomad-Bob Davis Podcast 1110.

Interest

Secondly time to spend some time talking about why this level of interest exists these days.

Traveling And Meeting People

For instance traveling across the country this summer I’ve met a lot of people.

What’s Nomad Life Like

Generally they wall want to now what being a nomad is like.

Information

And they soak up as much information has I can provide.

Interest Across All Ages

Surprisingly the interest runs across all ages.

From retirees to college students everyone is attracted to the idea of the freedom of nomad life.

What’s Normal?

Balanced against what we think of as normal life…

Negatives

Being a nomad has its negatives.

Positives

But there are also many positives.

Why?

In view of all these questions I am most interested in the reason why people are so interested in me!

Therefore in Simplicity-Rules-The-Nomad-Bob Davis Podcast 1110 I attempt to answer that question based on some recent experiences and questions from listeners.

YouTube Too

Because I now have an active YouTube channel some of these questions come from my viewers too.

Questions Americans Don’t Usually Ask

With this in mind I hear people asking a questions I don’t think Americans are used to asking.

A question I don’t think they like asking either.

Three Jobs To Keep Up

These days its important to realize many people are working two or three jobs just to keep up.

Feeling Trapped In A Dead End Job

Equally surprising is the number of people who feel trapped in dead end jobs…

Or caught in the rat race.

Why Do we Put Up With It?

Under these circumstances I find it shocking so many are asking why they put up with things as they are.

No One Has An Answer

Even more shocking is the fact that leaders do not seem to even want to try to answer the question.

Freedom

In view of this the interest in nomad life is understandable.

Simplicity

Most important is the freedom simplicity confers.

Ohio-Pennsyvania-Upstate-New-York-Bob Davis Podcast 1109

Ohio Pennsylvannia Upstate New York

Firstly I made it across Ohio and Pennsylvania to New York State faster than I thought on back roads. Secondly a mechanical triggers a great experience in one of America’s oldest industrial towns. Details in Ohio-Pennsyvania-Upstate-New-York-Bob Davis Podcast 1109.

Back Roads Are Not Slow

Above all anyone who tells you back roads are slow should note the time and distance in for this nomad.

See America

Of course the fact that you get to really see America is another point.

For example I was rolling across the country until a mechanical problem brought me to Jamestown New York.

Jamestown New York

Instead of freaking out I went to more than one mechanic in Jamestown until we figured the problem out.

Certainly that’s a great argument for working a problem until you have a solution.

People

But I also got to know some great people.

History

And learned a little history too.

All the info is in Ohio-Pennsyvania-Upstate-New-York-Bob Davis Podcast 1109.

Avoiding Major Cities

The most compelling evidence for back roads travel though is being able to snake through the green fields and hills of rural America all the way east.

Equally important I think is also being able to avoid all major cities.

Campulance Man

Notwithstanding a quick visit to rural Rochester New York to pick up my power station from the Campulance Man. Check out his videos on YouTube here.

Best Trips

Without a doubt this has been one of the best trips I’ve taken.

Simplicity

Surprisingly the reason is simplicity itself.

Avoid Friends and Family

That is to say I have learned over the years to avoid detours to visit friends and family.

By all means I love my friends and family.

Complications Complicate

One the other hand when you complicate things on the road it can get really complicated very quickly.

Alone Time

As much as I like being with people I also am comfortable with alone time.

Accordingly there’s a lot of alone time threading the back roads.

Adirondacks

At the present time I am making my way through New York’s Adirondacks…

And it is incredible.

All in all plenty of time to think and enjoy the moment.

American-Heartland-Bob Davis-Podcast-1108

American Heartland

Firstly the American Heartland is thriving. I’ve driven across 6 states so far. All back roads. Avoiding the major cities. Pure Travel Bliss, Details in American-Heartland-Bob Davis-Podcast-1108.

Navigating On The Fly

In addition I’ve been navigating on the fly.

Two Parts

Secondly this podcast is recorded in two parts.

Therefore two different locations in the American Heartland.

Hello Road

All things considered it is great to be back on the road.

Sea Of Green

In fact rolling through a sea of green…

Alone On Two Lanes

Even more most of the time no one else on the road but me…

Pure Travel Bliss

All of this must be remembered as truly pure travel bliss.

Don’t Listen To The Alarmists

Another key point the the talk about food shortages and other alarmist content.

Bursting At The Seams

As a matter of fact I am here to tell you the American Heartland is bursting at the seams with plenty as we near the harvest.

Value

It’s important to realize the value of actually ‘going down to the front’.

Rural America

That is to say going out to actually see what is going on in rural America is worth the trip.

Not A Fairy Tale

To be sure it’s not a fairy tale.

Contrast Surprises

But I am always surprised by the contrast of Urban Blight and the abundance of farm states.

Hitting The Road Again

Above all I have been stationary for months camped out on a Wisconsin lake shore.

So hitting the back roads for pure unfettered travel is fantastic.

New York State On The Horizon

I am henceforth headed to New York State to pick up my lithium power station from the Campulance Man.

Off Grid

I am truly off grid afterward heading for New York’s Pioneer district.

Love It

Thirdly this is what I do and I love it.

All in all I love traveling this way…

Learning

Furthermore I find opportunities to ask questions and learn.

Soul Killing Mind Numbing

Comparatively air travel and the interstates can be soul killing and mind numbing.

I do what I do for that reason.
