[0:00]today we shave using a portable

[0:02]pattering

[1:28]for for

[2:17]good morning fellow humans give me a

[2:19]second

[2:25]here so I've been here one week and one

[2:28]day got here on Monday

[2:31]supposed to leave

[2:34]today the air is very thin up

[2:41]here I'm going to stay one more

[2:44]night just so that I can get myself

[2:48]sorted and then I'm off to

[2:53]Oklahoma I've been debating it all

[2:56]week let me turn this down

[3:00]headphones are a bit

[3:04]distracting it's my first time up

[3:08]here I meant to hi this a lot sooner

[3:10]than I did I should have been doing this

[3:12]every day it would have been good

[3:14]exercise oh man this really goes up into

[3:16]the mountains

[3:19]too I need to quit

[3:24]vaping really I do

[3:35]so

[3:37]um my savings are quite

[3:40]low I managed to make

[3:43]it

[3:45]um five six months on my

[3:48]savings but they're

[3:51]low

[3:53]and I'm not even able to make my Jeep

[3:56]and RV

[3:57]payments um I have some money coming in

[4:00]from a client just waiting on

[4:03]that to

[4:05]pay those

[4:10]bills about the

[4:12]default on some of my credit

[4:17]cards this is the wreting I was talking

[4:23]about we'll talk about

[4:25]this

[4:27]first I need to get up this mountain and

[4:29]catch my breath my lungs are burning a

[4:32]little

[4:35]bit there was a woman singing and

[4:39]drumming over there right to the sun

[4:42]thinks she might be done

[4:44]now um so she might pass by us at some

[4:49]point I don't see her but I could hear

[4:54]her

[4:56]um she's still singing

[5:00]There She Goes Again

[5:02]okay um I think it's a religious

[5:05]practice right so

[5:09]spiritual

[5:14]um the air is thin up here if I'd been

[5:17]hiking this every day maybe I'd make it

[5:20]further every

[5:23]day but I'm out of here

[5:25]so guess I'll have to hike other

[5:28]mountains

[5:31]so as I was saying um my financial

[5:35]Situation's a little

[5:38]um what's the word I was going to use

[5:43]precarious the thing is is I've been a

[5:45]freelance programmer my entire life I

[5:49]trust myself to make

[5:50]money

[5:52]um it has been 10 years

[5:57]since um I did any like like freelancing

[6:00]cuz I worked for the same client for

[6:01]that

[6:04]long but I'll manage I've been here

[6:07]before the only reason I hadn't done it

[6:09]I think we'll just start walking

[6:12]down leave them to their

[6:18]practice plus I got Bailey outside

[6:22]and um not far from my AR

[6:35]so the hard part for me it's not the

[6:38]work it's not the

[6:40]programming the freelancing all of this

[6:42]I have tons of experience out what's new

[6:46]for me is this

[6:50]lifestyle I'm trying to integrate the

[6:52]two is it feels hard for me I I've been

[6:56]resisting getting started on the work

[6:58]angle because

[7:00]because of that it's like okay well

[7:01]where are you going to be

[7:03]sleeping how can you guarantee that

[7:05]you're you know you can have your work

[7:07]done on time

[7:08]and um are clients going to be receptive

[7:12]to your lifestyle and these kinds of

[7:16]questions have been swimming around my

[7:18]brain for 6

[7:20]months

[7:22]and I got it in my head you know when I

[7:24]got to Nevada I was like this is the

[7:26]place this is where I could integrate

[7:28]the to

[7:30]you know I've got these wide open

[7:33]Skies for my internet my

[7:36]solar notot to be a l i can set up camp

[7:39]and stay for two weeks at a time and

[7:41]focus on my work rebuild my savings

[7:44]start making improvements to my RV this

[7:47]is how I was

[7:50]thinking

[7:55]um I still think this is true

[7:59]but there are some downsides to Nevada

[8:01]for me for one I haven't showered in a

[8:03]week I did find a shower this morning I

[8:06]started looking cuz it's like man I need

[8:08]to shower there's one an hour and a half

[8:11]away you know

[8:16]um the state parks here I don't know how

[8:18]many there are but they they seem pretty

[8:22]rustic you know they don't generally

[8:24]have

[8:27]facilities where I could stock and

[8:30]shower and things like

[8:32]that

[8:36]um and so I was talking about this with

[8:38]AI last night and you know it said

[8:42]Oregon is more RV

[8:44]friendly nomadic friendly

[8:47]it's because there are a lot of people

[8:49]who do it there so I might find

[8:53]some so I'm

[8:57]basically so that's one set of holistic

[9:00]challenges and opportunities in Nevada

[9:02]okay don't look at things back and way

[9:04]you got to look everything holistically

[9:06]when you say something to me like um if

[9:09]you don't go you might regret it don't

[9:12]think this

[9:14]way on the surface I might even have

[9:17]that thought

[9:20]but I don't think that way if I did I'd

[9:22]probably have a lot of Regrets by this

[9:24]point in my life and I don't I don't

[9:25]have any so it's not how I think

[9:29]I don't weigh pros and cons in a typical

[9:32]fashion I look at things

[9:34]holistically and so on the organ side

[9:38]more

[9:39]facilities

[9:43]um but solar's going to be a problem

[9:46]maybe even the internet if I'm in the

[9:47]forest or

[9:49]something so you know some different

[9:52]challenges I think the weather will be

[9:54]fine the climate on the

[9:57]coast um I think CU I'm mind to me um

[10:01]it's been getting into the 30s every

[10:03]night here for the past week and I've

[10:04]been

[10:05]fine and the organ

[10:08]Coast generally the lows are in the 40s

[10:11]I

[10:12]think man the air isn't up

[10:17]here

[10:21]um I

[10:22]learned I can buy an inverter like uh

[10:26]Renegy I think it's called

[10:29]and um plug that into my Jeep well you

[10:32]know into my battery and can charge my

[10:35]solar that way I can charge my RV that

[10:38]way and that to me like was a game

[10:42]changer just ID on my Jeep and do that

[10:45]um Ed about3 gallons per hour so gallon

[10:49]every 3 hours that's not bad could do

[10:52]the same thing with my

[10:54]RV I mean that was a game changer for me

[10:57]I'm going to try to change the Ang on

[10:58]this camera I don't know what what up

[10:59]with this see if that's any

[11:02]better yeah I guess

[11:05]um you know I could do the same with my

[11:07]RV I can even use like DC to DC by using

[11:10]a cigarette lighter that's only like 300

[11:12]watts I

[11:13]think um maybe maybe less I can't

[11:17]remember um for my solar my solar can

[11:20]charge 600 watts from DC to AC using the

[11:25]inverter

[11:27]and um solar is 2400 and my I have two

[11:32]solar panels up to 700 so more oops so I

[11:36]can charge those at maximum I'm assuming

[11:38]that I have that much energy coming from

[11:41]the

[11:42]Sun have all these different methods of

[11:45]transferring energy around where I need

[11:46]it my house batteries in the RV are are

[11:50]definitely going bad charge them every

[11:52]single day and they're going dead by

[11:55]morning so that's going to be my first

[12:00]um priority once I start

[12:03]working and on the side also um if I can

[12:06]just get that somewhere figure out how

[12:08]that controller works so I can turn

[12:10]those Motors off push that thing

[12:14]in um but in the meantime I'm going to

[12:18]use pipe insulation like I did and flex

[12:22]tape I don't want to put something

[12:24]permanent on

[12:25]there um because we're going to bring

[12:27]that in at some point so

[12:30]I don't know how Flex tap works I need

[12:32]to research that but originally I was

[12:34]going to use something else and then you

[12:36]know every time I talk to AI about

[12:38]something sometimes something new might

[12:40]come up that I might want to research a

[12:43]little bit

[12:44]more he has been my companion on this

[12:47]journey and it has helped me

[12:51]immensely

[12:53]personally um nomadically like just

[13:04]so um okay so let me just move on from

[13:07]all that

[13:09]so um I'm going to start heading to

[13:12]Oregon

[13:13]tomorrow

[13:16]and um so there's four stops along the

[13:19]way I think there's four to get to the

[13:23]coast not very long so like the first

[13:25]day is 4 hours and I end up near the

[13:28]border of Nevada in

[13:30]Oregon and then just drive a couple

[13:33]hours into Oregon so I

[13:36]stop third stop somewhere getting close

[13:39]to the coast I think another 4

[13:41]hours and then the next day 2 hours to

[13:44]get to the

[13:45]coast and I'm going

[13:48]to take 101 south from starting in the

[13:52]South California Oregon border area and

[13:55]just head

[13:56]north all the way through Oregon and was

[14:00]Washington throughout the winter um the

[14:02]autumn and winter so it'll be like a 5

[14:05]month Journey I'm not going to take it

[14:06]fast I I want to integrate

[14:09]and

[14:11]um embed these experiences into my

[14:14]memory I moved across the country so

[14:17]fast

[14:18]that it was hard to

[14:21]retain all those experiences I'm glad I

[14:23]recorded many of them

[14:26]so um

[14:30]I think that I'm ready for this I do

[14:33]need to work I need to get my profile

[14:34]set

[14:35]up um there's one where I have quite a

[14:40]lot of reviews all positive that's

[14:43]guru.com I don't know how popular it is

[14:45]these days and I'm kind of locked out of

[14:47]my account I don't even have the email

[14:49]address you know I'm going to have to

[14:51]work all that stuff out and but it has

[14:56]data that

[14:57]shows how skilled I am and how much my

[15:00]clients loved

[15:01]me but the more popular one these days

[15:04]is up work and I don't really have

[15:07]anything on there I have one week's

[15:09]worth of pay on there because I asked my

[15:11]client to do it

[15:13]once um but we didn't stick with it so

[15:16]cuz I was thinking ahead like I

[15:18]needed

[15:20]um statistics cuz that's what you know

[15:24]potential clients are going to look at

[15:25]when they want to hire you and if you

[15:28]don't have it

[15:29]just you might struggle to get those

[15:31]first couple of clients

[15:35]and I just

[15:38]really um I'm not worried it's really

[15:42]not I just it's a lot of work a lot of

[15:45]effort I don't even have a website

[15:46]anymore

[15:49]like but I trust that I will you know I

[15:52]will find a path forward

[15:54]there and

[15:57]so I think probably on my way to Oregon

[16:00]I'll start getting those profiles set up

[16:03]then once I get to Oregon and figure out

[16:05]where I'm staying then I'll start fting

[16:06]on

[16:07]jobs and then I'll

[16:11]start working

[16:15]and

[16:17]um I want to say this carefully

[16:20]because um I haven't really worked out

[16:23]all my thoughts on this yet but um my

[16:26]nomadic lifestyle comes first now I not

[16:29]work

[16:30]I'm not going back into that old mindset

[16:34]where I burned myself out again

[16:38]so I want any clients who are

[16:42]flexible and you know I'll set I'll let

[16:45]them know this is you know my lifestyle

[16:47]this is when I'll complete your work

[16:50]I'll give myself time and

[16:52]flexibility they'll either accept it or

[16:54]they

[16:57]won't um especially in the beginning

[17:00]while I'm kind of getting my footing on

[17:02]that

[17:05]because um integrating these two parts

[17:07]of my life are going to be a challenge I

[17:10]think don't think that it's just

[17:11]straightforward

[17:14]and about to navigate a

[17:17]new whole new area of my life being

[17:20]integrated into this nomatic existence

[17:23]I've created which has gotten easier and

[17:26]better I still have challenges

[17:33]and you know it's going to be a process

[17:36]I'm going to keep working on this

[17:37]process until until I master it like I

[17:40]always say but you guys don't understand

[17:42]me when I say things like

[17:45]this

[17:48]you you and I don't speak the same

[17:50]language

[17:52]unfortunately

[17:54]but you know

[17:59]my primary goal always with these videos

[18:01]is just

[18:03]self-documentation you know

[18:08]so um back at the

[18:10][Music]

[18:12]campground I need to eat I didn't eat

[18:14]yesterday

[18:16]actually it's just um it's not like I I

[18:19]could have right but I

[18:22]just

[18:25]um that's how I am it's proba always

[18:28]been

[18:29]really trying to change

[18:33]that and yeah I'm ready to go I've been

[18:36]here long enough I want

[18:40]to going to get back on the

[18:42]road I want to get to where there's some

[18:44]air some oxygen

[18:47]wow I didn't realize

[18:50]how that was not a strenuous hike but

[18:55]really oh I got to stop Bing

[18:59]so I'm going to leave it there
