Summer-Sounds-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1088

Summer Sounds 2023

Firstly it’s the peak of winter over North America and therefore time for a Summer Sounds Podcast. Put your headphones on for Summer-Sounds-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1088.

Recording Summer Sounds For Years

Secondly since around 2015 I have been recording summer sounds.

Spring Is Around The Corner

And then when spring seems right around the corner.

But Winter Is Still Here

But winter proves resilient.

Time For Summer Sounds

It’s time for a Summer Sounds Podcast.

Immersed In Summer

Above all listening to these summer sounds podcasts immerse the listener in summer.

Colorado

Whether it is a beautiful Mountain Town in Colorado.

Ten Thousand Feet Up

Or the delicious sound of the wind on a ten thousand foot mountain peak.

Lakeside

Certainly the sounds lakeside.

Bugs

The bug and birds.

Truck Stops and Lawn Mowers

Finally a truck stop in the southwest somewhere, a lawn mower and a drum circle.

Monsoon

Of course there’s a full on summer monsoon storm in Utah and the sound of the crackling campfire.

No Talk

Furthermore after the introduction there’s no talk until we say goodbye near the end of this podcast.

Winter Can Be Just Too Much

To sum up when we get this close to warmer weather it seems like winter can be just too much.

Loam Of Summer’s Eve Beckons

Even more the loam of a summer evening is immersive and peaceful in the midst of a difficult time.

Love Producing Summer Sounds

I enjoy producing these podcasts as much as I hope you enjoy listening to them.

A Life Outside

In addition now that I travel full time I am outside all the time and all through the seasons.

Grateful For The Back Roads

Above all I am grateful I’ve had the opportunity to experience the mountain peaks, small towns, national parks and back roads of the United States these past years.

Wild Things

In the same vein there’s a lot of wild things to see and hear.

Great To Share

And it’s great to be able to share with subscribers and listeners.

Original Content

In conclusion it gets more difficult every podcast to do something original.

Certainly when you’ve done over a thousand podcasts.

And when the standard talk topics we hear out there don’t fit in this venue anymore.

Passion For Travel

On the other hand I know we all share the passion for travel and the desire to hit the road.

Even if it’s just every now and then.

Especially during the glorious summer months.

Headphones On

In short grab a beverage, put on your headphones and turn it up.

Prepare to be transported to the peak of summer.

Even if it’s just forty minutes.

Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087

Nomad Life Or Corporate Life False Choice

Firstly Nomadlife Or Corporatelife is a false choice. Period. Full stop. Details in Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087.

Quit Your Job

Secondly certain people are saying people in the corporate world back home should quit their jobs and join the nomad ‘movement’.

Really?

Therefore suddenly being a nomad is now an ‘ism’ or a ‘movement’. Really?

Too Big For Your Britches

And some of us think certain prognosticators are getting too big for their britches.

Social Media

In addition social media ‘stars’ don’t speak for the whole.

Certainly that is the whole point of the nomad experience isn’t it?

Being A Nomad Is Not A Statement

Above all I don’t like the idea that being a nomad is some kind of anti capitalist statement.

Or any kind of statement at all.

Natural?

For example telling people the nomad experience is ‘noble’ or ‘ordained’ or ‘natural’ is inaccurate.

Even more maybe out and out wrong.

A Choice

Most importantly this nomad life is a choice.

And so is the corporate world.

You Do You

Further neither choice is right or wrong.

Thank You

Finally a big thank you to those back in the world for all you do.

Respecting Nature

Certainly your contribution makes it possible for us to enjoy and respect this wilderness.

Not Fair Or Factual

But saying the world back home is unnatural isn’t fair or factual.

Life Choices

To sum up we all make choices at different times in our lives for different reasons.

It’s A Lifestyle Not A Judgement

Moreover as a nomad I did not do this in judgement of people back home or their choices.

I’ll tell you more in Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087.

False Intellectualism

In conclusion the assertion humans are pack animals and therefore nomads…

And because of this ‘reality’ you people back home should stop being ‘exploited’ and join us out here…

Is just plain nonsense.

Isn’t The Whole Point Freedom?

To sum up humans who are free can create many things.

Embrace Liberty

Maybe nomads who have appointed themselves chiefs of the tribe ought to embrace liberty and leave people back home alone.

Spring-Summer-Travel-Plans-Bob Davis Podcast 1086

Spring Summer Travel Plans 2023

Firstly it’s time to take a look at Spring and Summer Travel Plans. Time for a higher vibe in Spring-Summer-Travel-Plans-Bob Davis Podcast 1086.

Planning

Secondly I’ll talk a little about planning in particular in this podcast.

Southwestern Arizona

Certainly winter down in Southwestern Arizona isn’t like winter up north.

Wind and Chilly Nights

However the wind and chilly nights mean podcasting from the cozy confines of Mobile Podcast Command.

Pull Out The Maps

Above all it’s time to pull my dusty maps out.

Where and How

And to start thinking about the where and how for Spring and Summer Travel.

Playing It Safe

During these periods of high fuel prices many nomads have been playing it safe.

Hunkered Down

That is to say we’re hunkered down rather than barnstorming in order to save cash.

Hope

Meanwhile as fuel prices start to sink a little there’s hope for the future.

Ambitious Plans

In the same vein I have some pretty ambitious plans for this spring and summer’s travel.

Yes I Use Paper Maps

Most importantly I use paper maps.

Back Roads

Because I use back roads most of the time.

Save Money On Fuel

For example I’ve learned you can save money on fuel using back roads.

Plan and Navigate

But you have to know how to navigate and plan.

How To Start

As a result I usually start my planning by just looking at the maps and thinking about the best ways to go.

Greater Goals and Plans

In addition there are also greater goals and plans. I’ll devote some time to that discussion as well in Spring-Summer-Travel-Plans-Bob Davis Podcast 1086.

Where and When

After that I’ll get more specific about where to go and when.

What To Do

Even more what to do along the way.

Travel Jones

Finally we’re all getting the travel Jones.

Why Did I Hunker Down Again?

And it’s necessary every now and then to remember why we decided to hunker down in the first place.

Economic Conditions

I’ve done a few podcasts about economic conditions.

And where I think we’re headed.

I’ll be updating those as well progress into 2023.

Turn The Pages

But in the meantime it’s a lot of fun to turn the pages on these dusty maps shredded from use.

Warming Up Soon

To sum up it will be warming up in the Southwest soon and the rest of the country later.

Rubber Hits The Road

In short by then it will be time for the rubber to hit the road.

Can’t wait.
