Answering-Questions-Doing-Laundry-Bob Davis Podcast 1033

Answering Questions While Doing Laundry

Firstly have not answered questions from listeners so it’s time to answer questions while doing laundry. Join me in Quartzsite Arizona’s premier laundry for Answering-Questions-Doing-Laundry-Bob Davis Podcast 1033.

Listener Questions

Secondly Don Anger and his oil field co workers over in Texas contributed many of these questions.

Some Answers In Previous Podcasts

Most importantly I’ve answered many of these questions about my nomad life in various podcasts.

Now All On One Podcast

But getting most of them on one podcast is a good idea.

Nomad Life

Certainly there’s a lot of interest in the nomad life lately.

Back In The World

For example I hear many of us talk about becoming weary of the every day life back in the world.

And rules.

Or the pressure.

No Real Single Answer

On the other hand there’s no uniform answer to why someone wants to be out traveling full time.

How It Feels

Likewise you’ve heard me talking about how it feels.

Nomad Life

However most people have questions about how every day life is as a nomad.

Do I smell like smoke.

In addition, what do I eat?

Even more what about all the other nomads?

Rigs, Retirement or Making Money On The Road

In the same vein I get a lot of questions about whether most of my fellow nomads are retired military and what rigs they’re all driving.

Nomad Movement?

Meanwhile you’ve heard my comments about the trend toward organizing and nomad ‘movement’.

Social Structure

Finally there are many questions about what the so called social structure is out here.

In short we try not to have one.

Simple And Great Questions

To sum up I do get a lot of simple questions about nomad life.

After that I usually forget the simple questions and concentrate on complicating it as much as possible!

Winter In The Desert

In conclusion every now and then we get a cloudy or cold day during the winter out here in the desert.

Days For Simple Tasks

Consequently those are the best days for simple tasks like laundry, filling propane, getting more wood and groceries.

Then it’s time to head back to the campsite. Details in Answering-Questions-Doing-Laundry-Bob Davis Podcast 1033.

Walking-Nomad-Labyrinth-Bob Davis Podcast 1028

Walking The Nomad Labyrinth

Above all travel is a meditation so walking the nomad labyrinth is what it’s all about. What’s a labyrinth? Learn more in Walking-Nomad-Labyrinth-Bob Davis Podcast 1028.

Mission

Firstly when I pulled away from my house over a year ago to start this adventure I didn’t really have a mission. A reason for doing what I was doing.

Just Driving

Secondly I learned pretty quickly there is a meditative quality to just driving. Just watching the landscape roll by.

Coast To Coast

And this is what I did consistently for a year. Coast to coast. Border to Border. Crisscrossing the Midwest many times.

Slow Down

These days I’ve decided to slow down. Spend some time in places I’m interested in.

Finding A Footing

Therefore my podcasts have been a little more philosophical lately due to finding new footing in a slower travel approach.

Mission Statement For Second Year

Most importantly right now I am working to define a mission statement for the second year of travel.

Just Scratched The Surface

Because I feel like I have only scratched the surface.

Getting To Know A Place

Whether I am in some dusty Texas beach town or here in Quirky Quartzsite Arizona I am spending a little more time to get to know the town and its people.

Cue The Wanderlust

Certainly I haven’t lost my wanderlust.

New Orientation

And I have detailed my new orientation to higher fuel prices.

Campground Is Home

However I was a little surprised at how easily I’ve settled in on a Bureau of Land Management Campground just north of town.

More Time To Think

As a result I have some time to think in some different ways.

Urban Life

For example lately I’m interested in how the pressures and intensity of urban life doesn’t really effect the nomad.

Challenges

Certainly we have our trials and tribulations, but even these often become fun challenges.

Learning New Skills

Even more we’re always learning new skills, back road routes and about new campsites and rigs.

Internal Processes

Finally what has always interested me is the internal processes we nomads experience.

Common and Extraordinary

And I think those experiences are both common and extraordinary among the nomad community.

Walk About Talk About

In short this is what I have decided to talk about when I am relating my nomad experiences.

That is to say there are plenty of communicators talking about the best bike rack to buy for your rig, or where to get new tires and how to dump your tanks somewhere.

Not Easy

On the other hand these sometimes powerfully emotional experiences we have are not easy to put into words, let alone talk about.

Choices

But that is what I have chosen to do.

To sum up some of these musings are better than others, when it comes to a Podcast.

In the same vein it’s all part of the work.

Lunar-Eclipse-Radio-Bob Davis Podcast 1027

Lunar Eclipse Radio

Firstly some experts say the upcoming Lunar Eclipse might break things. We’ll talk about it in Lunar-Eclipse-Radio-Bob Davis Podcast 1027.

Chaos

Secondly I don’t think anyone can argue things feel chaotic right now.

Making Adjustments

To review I’ve talked about how the current economic reality requires nomads to make adjustments.

However for people living the so called ‘normal’ life in most urban areas the pressure is building.

End Of The World November 19th 2021

Even more aside from the usual talk about how November 19th’s eclipse will be the longest in duration there are those who say it will be the end of the world.

Desert Vibe

On the other hand out here in the desert the vibe is more peaceful.

Rising Prices

Certainly nomads have had to adjust to rising prices.

For example traveling shorter distances, free camping and shopping for cheaper fuel and food.

Nomads Have More Control

Above all we have a little more control over how we expose ourselves to the economic chaos we all feel.

Feelings

But what about feelings and intuition.

Mind In Both Worlds

To clarify I’ve always had my mind in both the real world and the world of feelings.

Metrics

I’m always looking for metrics and ‘proof’.

However I still have the same underlying feelings about the near future I talked about back when I was in Snow Mass in August. Check out that podcast here.

For instance more than one of my friends has recently actually used the word ‘chaos‘ to describe feelings.

Lunar Effect

And the closer we get to the lunar eclipse the stronger that intuition gets for some people.

Therefore in this podcast it’s time to talk about feelings and intuitions.

Hanging Out

Above all I am hanging out in Quartzsite, Arizona.

Quartzsite Is Special

That is to say this is one of those special and weird Arizona towns that I hope never has to endure the development of a Bougie Sedona or worse, Phoenix.

In addition Quartzsite’s sun faded and weather beaten hardscrabble businesses form a perfect backdrop for the town’s odd cast of characters.

In addition we Nomads are a perfect addition to the craziness here.

I love it!

Therefore get ready for the big experience in Lunar-Eclipse-Radio-Bob Davis Podcast 1027.
