Trials Tribulations and Victory

Firstly if you’ve ever been stuck in the sand you know the meaning of Trials Tribulations and if you’re lucky Victory. Learn more in Trials-Tribulations-Victory-Bob Davis Podcast 1053.

Trials

Secondly it happened to me just a few weeks ago. Now it was someone else’s turn.

Tribulations

And it was my turn to help.

No Guarantee

Certainly there are no guarantees in this story.

Solving Problems

But sometimes three people have all they need to solve a problem.

Extra Help

With a little extra help.

Amazed At The Bonds Of Nomads

Above all I am amazed at the bond nomads have.

And Veterans

Even more the bond I witnessed that our armed services veterans have.

It’s All Here

Most importantly it’s all here in Trials-Tribulations-Victory-Bob Davis Podcast 1053.

Forgotten How To Work Together

I think one our biggest problems these says has to do with the fact that we all seemed to have forgotten how to work together and stay with a problem long enough to see some kind of progress.

Help From Above Too

In addition when you put in the effort sometimes you get a little unexpected help from above.

Step Up

I was willing to step up. As a result I learned something.

Takes A Team

On the other hand I certainly wasn’t the one who wouldn’t quit. I got help in that regard from my friends.

Skoolie

And another nomad camper with a Skoolie.

Reinforcement

However the idea of refusing to quit and being willing with stay with it was reinforced due to this experience.

Land Of The Nomad

Subsequently there was a lot of talk among us about how these experiences are much more the norm out in the land of the nomad than back home.

Nomad Life

In the same vein it’s one of the great things about nomad life.

Step Up And Share

In short we’re always ready to step up to help and share if we can.

Lessons To Be Applied Elsewhere

Finally I think those same lessons can be applies to the greater question of our national future.

Working Together

That is to say working together.

Nomad-Setbacks-New-Adventures-Bob Davis Podcast 1049

Nomad Setbacks and New Adventures

Firstly every now and then there are setbacks and new adventures for nomads. They’re unavoidable. Not fun when they happen though. Status update from the road in Nomad-Setbacks-New-Adventures-Bob Davis Podcast 1049.

Still On The Road? Everything Is Fine

Secondly as long as your rig isn’t at the bottom of a lake or ravine everything is fine.

Emergency Fund

Certainly you’ll have to pay.

And you know that.

Not The End Of The World

But it’s not the end of the world.

How Could This Have Happened?

Even more you kick yourself wondering how ‘this’ could have happened.

Law Of Fast Forgetting

Therefore it’s normal to get down on yourself when the law of fast forgetting is in effect.

Get Your Road Chops Back

In other words if you stayed in one place all winter and weren’t on the road there are things we all get used to doing on the road.

Easy To Forget

It’s easy to forget these things when you start traveling again.

Grand Entrance

For example making a grand entrance by driving down what looked like a shallow hill.

Turns Into A Sand Dune

However that shallow hill was a sand dune.

Time For A Tow Truck

Meanwhile as I waited for the inevitable two truck to pull me out I got philosophical.

Learn and Relearn

After that it was an evening of talking about how often we learn and relearn life lessons very quickly out here.

Life Lessons Take Time

That is to say sometimes life lessons take years to incorporate.

Learning Faster In Nomadland

In short the same lesson that takes years can take a few minutes out here.

Grateful

Finally I am grateful to be on the road again.

Interrupting My Reverie

Certainly I hate it when my reverie is interrupted by some stupid act.

But all is well.

Not A Bowl Of Cherries

To sum up nomad life isn’t a bowl of cherries.

Kofa-Kush-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1050

Kofa Kush Love

Most importantly I am all alone in a big wildlife preserve and that’s the essence of Kofa Kush Love. Find out why in Kofa-Kush-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1050.

Shorter Trips Longer Stays Free Camping

And of course I am getting used to short trips and longer stays.

Certainly free camping is also the order of the day.

No One Else Around

But it isn’t very often you get to have a place like this pretty much to yourself.

Doing Nothing

Therefore I’ll use this opportunity to talk about taking the time to do nothing.

Back Home In Pressure City

Firstly back in the world many people are feeling the pressure of day to day life.

Secondly the stress of the world seems to be getting more and more intense lately.

Yes It Is A Plan

In addition doing nothing doesn’t seem like a plan.

But it is.

Desert’s Weird Hum

Above all I am giving myself the time to listen to the silence of the desert.

While spending quiet time with myself meanwhile.

On the other hand back in the so called world things aren’t so calm.

Could I go Back?

In fact I am not sure I could go back to the day to day.

That is to say there is something about the opportunity to be silent by yourself.

And these days we don’t often get that opportunity.

In short this is a story I hear over and over again from nomads.

In the same vein the solitude and peace is one of the main reasons many have chosen this life.

Weird Stuff Going On

To sum up I don’t think it’s wrong to say there’s a lot of negative pressure back in the so called world.

People screaming from sky scrapers, all kinds of bad behavior and just generally being over stressed.

Certainly I hope it will change someday soon.

However I am not holding my breath on that one.

Finally join me for Kofa-Kush-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1050.

Listen to the desert wind.

And remember…Bali Hai is waiting.
