On-The-Road-With-Bob-Bob Davis Podcast 1115

On the road with Bob is an answer to a question. Above all it’s the most asked question to me. What’s it like on the road.

Crazy

Even more listeners and subscribers have the impression nomad life is nothing but crazy situations and people.

By all means listen to this podcast as well as this one to learn more.

Listeners Join

At length I thought it would be a good idea to have listeners join as I rolled through Arkansas.

Where Are We Going

Especially since I really didn’t know exactly where I was heading.

Thinking And Processing While Driving

Without reservation the best thing about the zen of being on the road is being able to think.

And process visits with friends and family.

Or even life events.

Not Crazy

In fact life out here is very seldom ‘crazy’.

Equally notable is the actual absence of crazy people and crazy situations.

Accordingly one usually gets into those situations through mistakes …

Or overstepping social boundaries.

Navigation

With this in mind navigation is important.

That is to say I don’t use Google or Map features on my phone.

Ancients Called It A Map

Rather I navigate on the fly with maps.

Mistakes

From time to time mistakes are made.

Happy Accidents

But experience has taught me sometimes mistakes get you right back on track.

Nomad Requirements

Therefore if you can stand being alone…

Even while dispersed camping in a deserted national forest.

Then you’re probably a good candidate for this life.

Back On The Road

In the meantime I can’t say enough how good it feels to be back on the road again.

Behind The Windshield

With this intention the vibration behind the windshield can be quite high.

Quirks Yes

On the other hand I have my quirks.

Stopping at fast food outlets to charge my power station

Or getting off course…

Are two.

All things considered if you get off course once in awhile it’s no big deal.

Advice

In addition this podcast also carries some good examples of what passes for ‘advice’ when you travel with me.

From country music to all terrain tires, diet and more.

OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067

OffGrid Freedom Utah

Firstly OffGrid Freedom Utah isn’t about solar powered homes. OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067 is about having no cell coverage and the actual freedom that results from being ‘OffGrid’.

Garbage Minds

Secondly the amount of garbage that our minds are filled with from these phones is epic.

Heavy Users

Above all I know because I am a heavy user of my device.

Thinking

And due to the fact that when I experience outages I’ve noticed I can think!

Listening

Even more I can actually hear myself think!

Revelations

So look for some internal revelations as the result of spending a lot of time with a boat anchor known as the iphone.

At least when you’re OffGrid in Utah.

Review

Consequently I took the opportunity to review the last year or so of travel.

Life Decisions

In addition I was able to review some life decisions.

Mega Trips A Thing Of The Past?

For example last year at this time I was in the middle of a mega trip.

To clarify up the west coast. Out through the upper mountain west. Down through the Midwest. Across the Great Lakes to New England. Back through Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and so on.

Granular Travel

On the other hand this summer’s travel has focused on Northern Arizona, Colorado and Utah.

OffGrid

That is to say I am way out in the deserts and mountains.

Even more down dirt roads and in primitive campgrounds or no campground!

Out Of Area

No cell service.

Freedom!

Subsequently no distractions!

Stories and Realizations

In short it’s great to think again!

And I have some stories and realizations to share in OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067.

Modern Communications

Firstly I don’t think anyone really thinks about how influential modern communications can be.

The Wanting

Secondly as a result it’s the wanting that makes us all feel like we have and are less.

Certainly we don’t call it ‘the wanting’.

Manifesting

These days it goes by the name ‘Manifesting’.

Goals

Most importantly what happens when you ‘manifest’ right past your original goal?

What Do You Need?

Finally sometimes what you have is enough to do what you need.

Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026

Wearing Out Arizona

Firstly I am wearing Arizona out right now. High fuel prices means spending more time in individual states. Learn more in Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026.

Got A Thing

Secondly I have had a thing for Arizona for a long time.

Search For The Old West

Above all I continue the search for the Old West.

All Desert

Even more now that the colder weather is filtering down from the Canyon to the Mountains it’s all desert for me.

Love It!

And I couldn’t be happier.

More Time In Arizona

As the result of higher fuel prices I am adjusting my travel plans so that I can spend more time in certain places.

Nomads In A Good Position

Certainly I’ve made the case that nomads are better positioned to reduce their exposure to inflation. Click here for that podcast.

Free Camping

Even more since orienting to this new plan I have become very focused on dispersed camping, free camping and even hanging out at Truck Stops when I am in transit. I share some of those tips in Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026.

Something About Arizona

But overall there is something about Arizona.

Maybe it’s the sunsets.

Juniper

In addition I can never get enough of the scent of juniper on the fire.

Pines And Mountains

Or the pines and the mountain woods.

Highways

Finally we have all seen the Arizona Highways pictures.

On the other hand there are some amazing highways and views in this state. In the past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to experience many of them.

Plan

To sum up we nomads are lucky. If we plan it right we can avoid spending too much money.

Low Profile

And I am still learning how to achieve as low a profile as possible so I am not exposed to the higher and higher prices.

As a result I get to see some really cool places that most wouldn’t bother.

Whether it’s Gila Bend in the south or the Navajo Nation to the north.

Off The Beaten Path

In the same vein if you can get off the beaten paths anywhere you get to see different parts of the US and these are some of the best places, in my opinion.
