[0:00]hello
[0:01]humans just doing the dishes here these
[0:04]are from my RV I just with me I they'd
[0:08]be easier to do here I will adapt to
[0:11]that once
[0:12]I once you know I'll get there
[0:15]eventually um kind of what I want to
[0:18]talk about I guess so I just want to
[0:22]tell you my
[0:23]plans um so I get my teeth Monday which
[0:27]means I can leave Kentucky anytime now
[0:29]that's the only thing that keep me here
[0:31]um I did make plans for well I guess I
[0:33]got to deal with the slide situation but
[0:36]I'll be doing that over the next two
[0:37]weeks so um and I have you know I'm at
[0:40]that next Campground for 2 weeks so
[0:42]that's it that's our last campground in
[0:44]Kentucky after that I am going to start
[0:47]heading to um the Great Basin National
[0:50]Park in
[0:51]Nevada um I'm going to go like maybe
[0:54]drive 3 or 4 hours a day um on the way
[0:56]there so it'll take about a week to get
[0:58]there I should get there in mid
[1:00]September well let me
[1:03]think it'll be late September I don't I
[1:06]don't want to make rigid plans I really
[1:08]don't so um it'll be late September I
[1:11]guess and I'm just going to spend some
[1:14]time there doing some stargazing you
[1:16]guys some of you know that that was
[1:17]always my plan I was calling it The
[1:20]Pilgrimage I don't feel that way anymore
[1:22]because I have reach cerence and feel
[1:26]fully integrated you know so my
[1:28]perspective has changed sign
[1:30]significantly originally when I was
[1:31]going to go there I was going to look up
[1:34]at the stars and just pray that
[1:36]something look back at me because um I
[1:39]felt so existentially alone and
[1:43]misunderstood and you know all of that
[1:46]was really just fragmentation in myself
[1:49]I don't feel that way anymore when I go
[1:52]to Nevada now to look up at the start
[1:55]I'm I'm just going there for the
[1:57]experience just for the awe of it you
[2:00]know the just the
[2:04]um that place is um in the United States
[2:07]considered like the best place for
[2:08]stargazing is why I wanted to go there
[2:10]and I just want to I just want to
[2:12]experience it that's it I'm just going
[2:15]there to experience it and then I don't
[2:19]know how long I'll stay there I haven't
[2:20]really thought that part through um
[2:23]probably not very long though so I don't
[2:25]know week or two I just I can't see
[2:28]myself being there longer than that it's
[2:29]not really
[2:31]um where I want to go so after that I'm
[2:33]going to the Pacific Northwest and I'm
[2:35]going there for the entire winter
[2:38]so um I'm going to be on the coast like
[2:41]Oregon Washington
[2:42]area and excuse
[2:45]me and um so I'm totally prepared for
[2:49]this I I know what to expect I know it's
[2:51]going to be raining all the time I'm
[2:53]going to love that sometimes the sun
[2:55]will come out and it'll be that much
[2:57]more magical when it does but I'm going
[2:58]to love the rain I'm going to
[3:00]love the rain uh it's going to be colder
[3:05]um the days are going to be like 6070s
[3:08]the nights again might even get into the
[3:10]30s but I think it's mostly 40s and you
[3:13]know I feel like that I'm mostly
[3:15]prepared for that I'll need to do a
[3:16]little bit more preparing there's
[3:17]probably a little bit more insulating I
[3:19]could do to my RV um I could get some
[3:22]insulated curtains for my windows
[3:24]instead of what I have now you know
[3:27]little things like that but I most what
[3:30]I have like I already have what I need
[3:31]I've been preparing for this for 6
[3:33]months and while I'm there I'm going to
[3:36]stay at State pars probably um but not
[3:41]permanently and once I get there I want
[3:43]to start learning to Boondock that's
[3:45]important to me even though the sun
[3:47]won't be out as much I can still use my
[3:49]solar to an extent and I'll start
[3:52]adapting I'll start learning to use this
[3:54]stuff and living on less and just being
[3:57]self-sufficient cuz that's what this is
[3:59]about for me um and I plan to stay there
[4:02]until like I'll be moving around every 2
[4:04]weeks you know all over the place up
[4:06]there and then probably around March or
[4:10]something I'll start thinking about it's
[4:12]going to depend it's going to depend
[4:13]what's happening in the world at that
[4:15]time
[4:16]because
[4:18]um after our elections here I don't know
[4:22]what's going to happen maybe things will
[4:23]be
[4:24]fine you know I'm not predicting the
[4:28]future that's not what I'm doing I am
[4:30]looking at Trends I know where they're
[4:32]heading and I know that they're
[4:35]they're they're they're very unstable
[4:38]they can't last forever they can't last
[4:39]for much longer we're talking years so
[4:42]whether something happens or not during
[4:45]that time part of my reasoning for going
[4:48]there is because if something happens
[4:50]there it's a good place to
[4:52]be so um you know if something happens
[4:58]then obviously I started adapting my my
[4:59]plan big time um if nothing happens
[5:02]March comes around and you know it looks
[5:05]like like um we've got time I don't know
[5:08]what I'll do I'll think on that you know
[5:11]March is quite a long way from now I'll
[5:14]tell you some of the things I'd like to
[5:15]do if we can somehow keep this world
[5:18]together long enough I would love to see
[5:20]Canada I would love to travel through
[5:22]all of Canada maybe go up you know from
[5:25]from Washington and then start heading
[5:28]east all the way across Canada and then
[5:30]coming out over at um the um the Upper
[5:33]Peninsula Michigan I'm a Michigan native
[5:36]I I actually really love the nature in
[5:38]Michigan but I don't want to be there in
[5:40]the summer
[5:42]so spring sure that might be all right
[5:45]um also got to think about the weather
[5:47]like I haven't thought I'll this through
[5:48]I'm not going to I'll figure it out when
[5:51]it's time to figure it out um and I'm
[5:53]going to do the same with this what I'm
[5:55]planning now so I've only got a little
[5:57]bit of time now I got a couple weeks and
[5:59]and I'm going to plan out my routes and
[6:01]the places that I'm going to stay I
[6:02]don't know what they are yet m is being
[6:04]insane in this place he absolutely loves
[6:07]having this much space that's one thing
[6:09]I'm
[6:10]notic
[6:12]so kind of sad you know cuz he does live
[6:15]in an RV with me but he wouldn't want to
[6:18]be anywhere else that can't wants to be
[6:20]with me he's just I don't know he's just
[6:23]having one
[6:25]while um and we'll keep adapting
[6:28]together you know I would love to get
[6:30]him to I know I'm switching gear to him
[6:32]I don't care um I would love to train
[6:35]him to be on a leash but I don't think
[6:38]he's capable so I don't know I'm always
[6:41]thinking about his comfort
[6:43]though that's really it I in a
[6:46]completely different space Within
[6:50]Myself
[6:51]comfortable with flux with
[6:54]uncertainty with the knowledge that I've
[6:56]been carrying all this time I did what I
[6:59]said off to do I'm damn proud of myself
[7:03]and now I'm truly going to go live my
[7:06]best life I am looking forward to being
[7:08]in the Pacific Northwest uh I guess
[7:12]artificial intelligence was telling me
[7:13]that is a challenging environment and
[7:16]you know I'm like wait a minute I
[7:17]thought I had planned to start what do
[7:18]you mean it's challenging it told me all
[7:20]the ways it was challenging he said
[7:21]those are all the reasons I'm going
[7:22]there like literally none of those are
[7:24]things I would call challenge those are
[7:25]things that excite me I am looking
[7:28]forward to this I cannot not LNG and
[7:30]it's only two weeks how cool
