Changing Nomad Travel Plans Again

Firstly you might want to save changing nomad travel plans again to listen in the dark night of winter. You’ll hear why in Changing-Nomad-Travel-Plans-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1099.

Live From The Lake Shore

Secondly from the shore of one of those famous fishing lakes in Western Wisconsin comes the sounds of early spring up here.

No Bugs Yet

That is to say the bugs really haven’t gotten started yet.

Mirror Smooth Lake

And between early spring thunderstorms there’s the full moon and mist on a mirror smooth lake.

Audio Rules This World

Certainly audio captures this experience in a way video could not.

Self Realization

Furthermore since I have moved down to the lake shore I have realized something.

Nothing Like A Campfire

That is to say I am surprised how much better I feel with a campfire than inside even a lux North woods cabin.

Or the confined of a well used work shed.

Better Outside Than In

In fact I feel better these days outside and camping than I do inside.

Still Spring Night

On the other hand there is the difference between the still spring night in the upper Midwest…

And the steady breeze of the West.

Travel Plans

Finally we’ll get to travel plans.

Headed North East From Here

Most importantly heading East to pick up a power station from the Campulance Man in New York State.

And to see friends in New Hampshire.

Then heading to the coast for a wedding.

Back To Arizona

In addition I’ll discuss plans for returning to the American South West.

Back Roads Again

After that I’ll return to my usual theme of the back roads experience.

No Plan Is A Plan

To sum up I guess no plan is a plan.

Grateful Too

Most importantly I find myself very grateful for the opportunity to get back outside to a fire.

With unlimited firewood and black coffee.

Moreover steak and eggs or eggs and bacon in a iron skillet is pretty hard to beat.

Eleven Hundred Podcasts

In conclusion I can’t believe I am closing in on eleven hundred podcasts.

Travel and Nomad Experience

Many now focused on travel and the nomad experience.

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 inĀ  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.

Creative-Turning-Point-Bob Davis Podcast 1097

Creative Turning Point

Above all no matter what you do it feels like we have reached a creative turning point. Details in Creative-Turning-Point-Bob Davis Podcast 1097.

All The Shows

Firstly I have been catching up on all the shows I missed when I was traveling.

And for me that means watching a lot of TV for the past thirty days.

Social Media Horror Show

Secondly my readers and listeners know my feelings about the horror show social media has become.

Stale

But this time around something feels off.

Even more ‘stale’.

Sameness

That is to say there is a sort of ‘sameness’ in what I am seeing and experiencing as a viewer and user.

Creative Inspiration

More importantly those feelings cause me to ask questions about creative inspiration in my own efforts.

Ground Breaking Drought

For example where are we when it comes to truly ground breaking creative ideas brought into the world?

Socials and Streamers

Certainly the so called streamers and the socials are having issues.

Peak Scripted TV?

The number of shows are being cut back.

Struggling

In addition the social media sites are struggling.

Finally the whole thing just doesn’t feel the same to me as it did a few years a go when all this stuff was new.

How Do You Find Compelling Content

In addition perhaps that is one of the reasons I decided to go on the road.

After that I found more compelling content.

New Ideas

For instance I found travel and nomad life to be a wellspring of new ideas.

Source

To sum up how do you ‘re-pot’ yourself?

Further what is your source of inspiration and creative ideas when preparing to take your next step?

Turning Point

In conclusion it does feel like we’re at a creative turning point across the board in this land.

Next

Most importantly the question of what’s next?
