New-Day-Headed-SouthWest-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1114

Firstly it’s a new day headed southwest again and back on the road. After spending a month in New England there’s a lot to review and talk about in New-Day-Headed-SouthWest-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1114.

Details On The First Half Of September

In detail I planned to camp for the first half of September in New Hampshire.

Rain

But it poured rain.

And camping is no fun in the rain.

When Conditions Change

Of course when conditions change plans change.

Notwithstanding the first half of September in New Hampshire was spectacular.

Beaches and Mountains

To explain there were visits to the beach and mountains.

Good Food

As well as a lot of good eating.

Finally most of those experiences are explained in previous podcasts here.

Back On The Road Feels Brand New

Secondly getting back out on the road after only about three weeks feels brand new.

Headed Southwest

Especially when I am headed Southwest.

All in all getting back in the travel and recording groove is surprisingly unfamiliar.

Live From The Forest

So live from the Allegheny National Forest I update podcast subscribers and listeners.

History and Experiences

With this in mind there’s some discussion of the history of the national forests.

And a review of some of experiences at the end of summer in New England.

Brunch On The Atlantic

Afterwards topped off with an emotional family and wedding experience.

Ending with a fabulous brunch on the Atlantic Ocean.

Hit The Road

Thereafter I hit the road with a vengeance.

Three States

Subsequently covering three states before finally getting to the Allegheny National Forest.

Feels Good

Above all I can’t believe how good it feels to be back on the back roads!

Nomad Life Is Good

As a result New-Day-Headed-SouthWest-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1114 includes some observations about Nomad Life.

Behind The Windshield

For one thing I continue to be amazed at how different the back road world is from behind a windshield.

Rather than what we think the world is like scrolling….

Freewheeling Podcast

By and large this podcast is freewheeling.

Stories and Plans

In any event I’ll tell you some stories and share some plans.

Give-It-Up-Have-It-All-Bob Davis Podcast 1103

Give It Up To Have It All

Give it up to have it all. Some people see how rich and free nomad life can be and wonder how it can be. I’ll tell you in Give-It-Up-Have-It-All-Bob Davis Podcast 1103.

Life Coaches

Certainly these days the life coaches and self help gurus like to tell us how to live our best lives.

How To Have It All

As much as they tell us how to have it all…

What Coaches Don’t Tell Us

In contrast they don’t tell us what we have to give up…

To have it all.

Lakeside

Presently I’m staying lakeside.

Summer’s Arrival

That is to say I get to experience the summer’s arrival in a way that all the other cabin owners up here might not be able to.

Life Back In The World

One of the things it’s important to realize is how complex and overwhelming life ‘back in the world can be’.

Lists And Shopping Trips

Such as lists and shopping trips.

Worry

And worries about money and jobs.

Nomad Life

On the other hand nomad life can be surprisingly ascetic.

Not Luxurious

Certainly nomad life isn’t luxurious.

Overlooked

In other words what we give up to have this freedom is often overlooked.

Count My Blessings

Therefore I’m taking this placid late spring early morning in front of the fire to count my blessings.

Share

And to share what I gave up…

To gain it all.

Contemplating Change

Although long time listeners will think of some of this as a review I think it’s worth thinking about regardless of what kind of change you’re contemplating.

Nevertheless you may be hesitating.

Firstly remember what the self help gurus say about having it all.

Jump

Secondly close your eyes and jump!

Final Analysis

In the final analysis I wanted to live an unorthodox lifestyle.

To sum up in order to achieve that…

I had to let it all go.

Wow

All things considered I never expected people to say wow…

You have it all.

But I kind of do.

Worth It?

With this in mind I didn’t really understand what I was giving up when I jumped.

But I do now.

And it was worth it.

Regrets?

In fact every now and then I might have a little bit of regret.

Balanced against what my life would have been like.

New Dimension

I’m glad I chose a new dimension.

Summer-Peace-Bob Davis Podcast 1056

Summer Peace

Firstly Memorial Day signals the start of summer in the US and I think we all need to get some Summer Peace in 2022. We’ll talk about it in Summer-Peace-Bob Davis Podcast 1056.

I Know The Rules

Due to social media I am well aware of all the rules concerning virtue signalling for holidays like this one.

Up To You

But in this podcast I will leave the protocols of this extended weekend to you.

One Crisis To The Next

Secondly these days life for many Americans is one crisis to the next.

Time For A Break

Therefore it is time for a break.

Peace

That is to say we all need a moment’s peace.

Podcasting For A Long Time

Above all I have been doing podcasts for a long time.

And it is rare for me to be able to do a podcast on any topic as succinctly as this one.

Back In The World

Certainly life ‘back in the world’ is standing in line.

Not So Good

Or waiting for hours to talk to an actual human being.

Even more it’s strapped budgets and time schedules.

In addition work projects that don’t seem to make any sense.

Who’s In Charge?

Finally I get the sense that those in charge have no idea how to even explain ‘the problem’ much less fix it.

Idea Of Peace

As a result I decided to dedicate this first official podcast of summer to the idea of peace.

Summer Peace.

That is to say getting a moment of peace for yourself this summer.

Makes No Sense

In the same vein the world doesn’t make sense to most of us.

Nomad World

On the other hand in the nomad world things are a little different.

For example we spend a lot of time talking about our rigs.

And planning delicious dinners.

Cooperation and Consensus

Moreover while we talk about things back home we seek cooperation and consensus rather than winning an argument.

Gratitude

After that we’re just grateful.

In short I recorded Summer-Peace-Bob Davis Podcast 1056 on memorial day to share some memories and a genuine wish for some summer peace for you…

And everyone.

Summer Peace.

Get Some.
