Summer-End-New Hampshire-Bob Davis Podcast 1111

Summer End New Hampshire

Summer end in New Hampshire. The summer of ’23 has been a great one for me. Time to take stock and prepare to head southwest. Details in Summer-End-New Hampshire-Bob Davis Podcast 1111.

Great Summer

Above all this has been a great summer.

For one thing nomads can move.

Avoided Heat

Therefore I’ve been able to avoid most of the heat.

In fact sometimes Ive been downright cold.

Places

On the other hand I have quite enjoyed all the places I’ve seen and stayed this summer.

Spring

As I have said before I left Arizona in late March.

And spent most of the spring in the shores of a cool Wisconsin lake.

Eventually it was time for travel.

Summer

Firstly heading across a sea of green fields on back roads. My podcast about that experience is here.

Secondly heading north through Pennsylvania to the great New York State. Click here for that podcast.

Finally on to Vermont and New Hampshire.

Back Roads Vibe

All in all my love of movement and back roads has been renewed.

While this may be true I have been making an effort to stay long enough here and there.

Learning

Accordingly learning about a place rather than just driving through.

Detail

Therefore in Summer-End-New Hampshire-Bob Davis Podcast 1111 there’s detail about some of the places I’ve been…

Rich Greens

Especially the rich greens of this part of the country.

History

And the history.

Not All One Thing

All things considered we have been conditioned to believe that the United States is all one thing.

Because every town has the same stores and fast food joints.

But this is really not the case.

Nomad Why’s

Due to my travels it’s become clear there’s still a lot of diversity in different places.

Accordingly this is a big reason I am a nomad.

So many places.

So little time.

Heading West Again Soon

To that end it will soon be time to head west again.

Altogether on the back roads.

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.

Reactivating-My-YouTube-Channel-Bob Davis Podcast 1098

Reactivating My You Tube Channel

Firstly I am an audio guy so reactivating my YouTube channel is a big step for me. Details in Reactivating-My-YouTube-Channel-Bob Davis Podcast 1098.

Thanks To A Big YouTube Channel

Secondly this is all due to appearing in Peter Santenello’s Off The Grid video from Quartzsite Arizona.

Encouragement

Certainly all the nomads featured in the video received a lot of messages and encouragement from Peter’s viewers.

And we really appreciate it.

Power

Above all it convinced me again of the power of the YouTube platform.

How I Used YouTube

However over the years I avoided YouTube except for very specific uses.

Investment

Because I felt if I was going to do video I would have to invest in equipment and editors.

End Of Worry

But I’m not going to worry about all of that now.

My Intentions

Most importantly I’ll explain in this podcast how I intend to use the channel in the future.

Background

In addition it’s a good opportunity to provide some background on The Bob Davis Podcasts for new subscribers and listeners.

Podcast Listeners Welcome To YouTube and Visa Versa

Even more an opportunity to introduce long time listeners to my YouTube effort.

Off The Grid

Finally I’ll do some clarifications and explanations of what we were talking about in the Off The Grid video.

Life In An Ambulance

And another video Peter put up about living in an ambulance.

Different Flavors of Nomad

For example there are different kinds of nomads.

Some in cars and tents.

Still others in home built RV’s and the expensive big rigs.

Not to mention Bus Life!

Different Philosophies

In addition there are different philosophies about nomad life.

We Don’t All Agree

That is to say we do not all agree about what nomad life is and what it means.

Vibrant Community

Consequently it makes for a vibrant community.

Why Come Out

For example what if you have little or no camping experience?

Should you come out in a car long term?

And what kind of people will you encounter?

Not For Everyone

In short it’s not for everyone.

Born To Wander

But if you have the bug to wander deep down inside it is probably for you.
