[0:00]
we're
[0:01]
off um so I was thinking I don't think I
[0:05]
told you guys I learned what those
[0:06]
buildings were um and now it's slipped
[0:09]
my mind which is so upsetting because
[0:13]
there's something elevators like weed
[0:15]
elevators
[0:17]
or some kind of elevators related to
[0:19]
Agriculture and they look like giant
[0:21]
buildings they're freaking cool um it's
[0:25]
hard for me to commit some things to
[0:26]
memory because I don't think that way
[0:28]
like I don't think it labels
[0:30]
and I understand what it is now you know
[0:34]
but it'll come back to me that's just
[0:36]
how that works I know it's a little
[0:39]
weird but it's
[0:41]
cuz the way my mind works
[0:44]
it it looks at the underlying like
[0:48]
mechanics of a thing
[0:51]
and it's it's a pattern recognition
[0:53]
thing it's hard to describe but anyways
[0:55]
we're off we have 180 miles to go
[1:00]
things are going great both my dash cams
[1:02]
did fall off in the middle of the night
[1:05]
so as a temporary solution I have put
[1:07]
painters tape on the mount parts keeping
[1:10]
them up there that seems to be working
[1:12]
this is a lesson by the way I had gone
[1:15]
to the auto parts store in order to get
[1:17]
that piece I needed for my Jeep towing
[1:19]
gear and one of the things I wanted was
[1:21]
an adhesive for my windows and the the
[1:24]
woman that worked there talked to me out
[1:25]
of
[1:26]
it a person who worked there talked to
[1:29]
me out of buying something and because
[1:32]
she seemed so knowledgeable about
[1:34]
everything I took her at a word and
[1:37]
didn't buy what I needed that is what
[1:40]
unsolicited device looks
[1:42]
like she didn't know my particular
[1:45]
circumstances well enough to know if
[1:48]
what she was suggesting would work or
[1:50]
not and that is what people
[1:53]
do and it's
[1:55]
just a lesson for me to trust my own
[1:59]
situation even more than I already do
[2:02]
cuz I knew what I wanted I was there for
[2:05]
it so I'll be going to another auto part
[2:08]
store the next place I stop the next
[2:10]
Campground will be somewhere in the
[2:13]
middle of Kansas that's all I can say I
[2:15]
don't know um as far as where I
[2:18]
was Pomona State
[2:21]
Park I figure I'll tell you guys after I
[2:23]
leave cuz you know there's some lunatics
[2:25]
out there but I was at Pomona State Park
[2:29]
and I didn't get to see much of it I
[2:31]
don't think I even really caught glimps
[2:33]
of the lake it was a very big Campground
[2:35]
though very big Park um nice place to
[2:39]
stay if you just happen to be out
[2:42]
here a something
[2:45]
fell something minor but I have to see
[2:47]
what it was every it's always
[2:51]
a
[2:53]
um you know this is how you learn you
[2:56]
think you have everything secure this
[2:58]
time and you still don't
[3:00]
that's
[3:01]
okay Bailey safe I noticed that he
[3:04]
wanted to get underneath the um the bed
[3:06]
there's like this little Alo under the
[3:08]
bed so I'm going to when I get to the
[3:10]
next Campground I'm going to set that up
[3:11]
as like a little bed area he's never
[3:13]
used to be and um looks like he might
[3:16]
feel safe and comfortable down there
[3:17]
while I'm driving so do that for
[3:21]
him that's all for now this is a
[3:24]
beautiful sign in the
[3:28]
distance this hill
[3:31]
oh look at that house over there that's
[3:32]
beautiful it's very big
[3:39]
beautiful definitely entering the
[3:41]
heartland of
[3:52]
Kansas I am loving the Landscapes out
[3:55]
here just Wide Open Sky and then these
[3:58]
Hills that just
[4:00]
they just very
[4:02]
steep just beautiful
[4:06]
structures that very
[4:09]
beautiful got his toone up here and I
[4:12]
was looking to these ones we've kind of
[4:14]
passed them I didn't record
[4:16]
them but it's just beautiful out here
[4:20]
Kansas is beautiful I legitimately
[4:23]
cannot recall the last time I saw an
[4:27]
Open Sky like
[4:28]
this this is
[4:32]
wonderful I know that well I guess I
[4:34]
probably did when I was in Arizona of
[4:35]
course I don't know I guess it feels
[4:38]
different I ever was a fan of deserts
[4:40]
this
[4:41]
is I'd almost call this sort of like a
[4:44]
transition
[4:46]
between Forest land in the desert like
[4:50]
whatever whatever climate we call this
[4:53]
it's very fascinating to
[4:56]
me I'm loving this so for those those of
[4:59]
you wondering about my statuette I think
[5:03]
that's what it's called of the giraffe
[5:05]
and the Elephant that sits on my Dash
[5:07]
there my mom gave me that her grandma
[5:10]
gave it my grandma gave it to my mom and
[5:12]
she gave it to me and it's supposed to
[5:16]
represent
[5:18]
basically Learning to Lean on yourself
[5:20]
see the the giraffe is picking up the
[5:23]
elephant but the elephant can stand on
[5:25]
its own and that's what the draff is
[5:28]
telling it and that is why it sits right
[5:31]
there in the center of my Dash I think
[5:33]
it is just a wonderful
[5:35]
metaphor
[5:40]
and a wonderful memory from my mom I
[5:43]
mean I always think of her when I look
[5:44]
at that
[5:46]
so it feels so fitting to have it
[5:52]
there so let's set the world on
[5:56]
fire we can grow
[5:58]
brighter than the
[6:04]
sun we got some more Hills coming up see
[6:08]
my phone just flattens it that is a very
[6:11]
steep incline looks so flat on this
[6:15]
thing man I've got to figure out how
[6:18]
these better cameras cuz this is so cool
[6:22]
so for the first oh I don't know 7
[6:25]
months now maybe I've always kept that
[6:28]
on the Range so I knew how many miles I
[6:30]
had to go before I ran out but I done
[6:33]
this long enough now I've integrated it
[6:36]
to where I feel comfortable not staring
[6:38]
at that thing all the time cuz I know
[6:40]
what I've got going
[6:43]
on cool Fort Riley Military Reservation
[6:48]
wonder what's going on over here I bet
[6:50]
it's
[6:51]
amazing but it's awesome I don't get to
[6:54]
see many of these now I love these rock
[6:56]
formations that just kind of that we put
[7:00]
our highways through we just cut through
[7:02]
them but look at those ones no trees on
[7:05]
top of them like in Kentucky
[7:08]
or um where did I go after that
[7:13]
Missouri so the Landscapes are
[7:16]
changing look at that all those little
[7:18]
helicopters well they're not little
[7:20]
those are freaking big so
[7:24]
many we have found the Fort Riley Place
[7:27]
Riley is a cool name by the way we're in
[7:29]
Riley County when I saw that I was like
[7:31]
Riley's a cool
[7:33]
name very
[7:36]
cool obviously I'm not a fan of war war
[7:40]
mongering aggression violence any of
[7:42]
that stuff I can still
[7:48]
appreciate oh how to put this one in the
[7:51]
work the military is a very interestes
[7:53]
in organization I mean
[7:57]
they they have built very good systems I
[8:01]
mean their systems are good systems
[8:02]
they're very good at what they do um and
[8:05]
they're not all about you know the
[8:07]
things I just said of course that's why
[8:10]
we have the Army Corps of Engineers
[8:12]
which is amazing and our Navy is kind of
[8:16]
what kept the peace since World War II
[8:18]
you know allowed for trade around the
[8:19]
world and um you know important
[8:23]
stuff um got a merge up here so time to
[8:26]
go so I guess we can talk about the
[8:28]
military I was actually discussing with
[8:31]
AI last night I don't even we just sort
[8:34]
of got on to the topic I guess
[8:39]
um first understand that there is a
[8:42]
difference
[8:45]
between
[8:47]
well the political decisions that are
[8:50]
used
[8:54]
um I don't know and what you know
[8:57]
there's it's very Nu it's hard for me to
[8:59]
explain this one so I'm going to try
[9:04]
um I have deep respect for our military
[9:07]
I
[9:08]
do I think we do a lot of good things I
[9:11]
even think we try to be good like we
[9:13]
literally have like like lawyers and
[9:17]
like I don't know if they're just
[9:18]
lawyers or if they're I don't know what
[9:21]
they're called but you know they kind of
[9:23]
oversee like what we're doing they make
[9:25]
sure that we're we're obeying
[9:26]
international law like that's that's
[9:28]
freaking amazing that we do that we
[9:31]
don't get everything right but we
[9:33]
try um what I don't like is the
[9:35]
political side of it where we're not
[9:38]
consistent in our values we're helping
[9:41]
Ukraine which is wonderful I have
[9:42]
friends
[9:43]
there um but we didn't help Syria when
[9:46]
we had the chance which probably helped
[9:48]
lead to
[9:50]
Ukraine I've started to understand the
[9:52]
fragmentations in every system that
[9:54]
includes the political and the military
[9:56]
because we're not consistent in our
[9:59]
values that's
[10:01]
fragmentation and when you're not
[10:07]
consistent well you start causing
[10:10]
disintegration that's what's happening
[10:13]
that's what's happening with all of our
[10:14]
systems consider that word you've really
[10:17]
got to think about word
[10:20]
disintegration it has the word
[10:21]
integration in
[10:23]
it all of our problems are a result of
[10:26]
not being integrated
[10:31]
we we set
[10:37]
ourselves it's hard for me to discuss
[10:40]
this there's just so many
[10:42]
layers
[10:48]
and you know what I don't want it
[10:52]
disgusting I want to have a good day
[10:55]
check it out we're passing Jeep road so
[10:58]
cool Jeep do pass
[11:00]
me so I've been
[11:03]
thinking um there's a lot I need to do
[11:06]
to this RV once I get into the Pacific
[11:09]
Northwest but I can do some of it along
[11:11]
the
[11:12]
way I'm going to try to get my slide to
[11:15]
come in all the way you know it's
[11:16]
sticking out on one side like an inch or
[11:19]
so if I
[11:22]
can't what I'm I I have a plan I'll just
[11:24]
use some pipe insulation and some
[11:27]
weather stripping tape and you know I'll
[11:29]
just I'll seal it up that way cuz it's
[11:32]
not a problem you know that it's like
[11:34]
that um as far as you know stability and
[11:37]
things like that but I'm going to try to
[11:39]
get it in if I can
[11:42]
um cuz it's really just I think a
[11:45]
misalignment with the
[11:47]
motors but if I can I have a solution
[11:49]
for that
[11:51]
and because I'm going to be in an
[11:53]
environment so also because I regardless
[11:56]
of whether you know I can fix that or
[11:57]
not my slides never coming out again
[11:59]
permanently like I want my slide to stay
[12:02]
in always so I need to insulate around
[12:06]
the edges of it on the
[12:09]
inside um so there will be some effort
[12:12]
in that and I want to put up insulation
[12:16]
boards foam boards I don't know what
[12:18]
they're called but I want to put them up
[12:20]
on all of the walls in the ceiling um I
[12:24]
want to do something with the
[12:26]
floor like I want to truly in this thing
[12:29]
because it is going to be winter in the
[12:32]
Pacific
[12:33]
Northwest uh it won't be in the
[12:36]
snow
[12:38]
probably but you know it'll be raining
[12:41]
for weeks at a time there'll be a lot of
[12:45]
wind storms like I'm so looking forward
[12:48]
to that so I just want to get my
[12:50]
environment set up for it I want to be
[12:52]
ready for it so I was thinking
[12:56]
maybe um I'll start doing some planning
[12:58]
tonight once I get to the next
[13:00]
Campground and then tomorrow I'll try to
[13:01]
find a hardware store and start getting
[13:03]
supplies for that I'll just store them
[13:05]
Above This slide you know my new store
[13:07]
jve and um we'll be working on that all
[13:10]
the way to the Pacific
[13:12]
Northwest uh I want to tear down the
[13:15]
wines and you know the little decoration
[13:18]
things that go around the above the The
[13:21]
Vines and I want to put in some
[13:23]
insulated curtains
[13:25]
instead I have an idea on how I can do
[13:28]
that cuz I don't think that I can drill
[13:29]
into the outer walls like I just don't
[13:32]
think that I have the skill for that but
[13:35]
I can use touching rods across those two
[13:38]
Al coves my desk or my office and my my
[13:43]
bedroom and that will take care of that
[13:46]
side of the
[13:47]
RV um the kitchen
[13:50]
one maybe I leave that one alone and
[13:52]
just put reflec tis in that window and I
[13:54]
need to and then there's the back window
[13:56]
that one's really easy to put reflec tis
[13:58]
in
[14:00]
but even that one yeah maybe a tension
[14:02]
rod or something so I'm I'm still
[14:04]
thinking it through but that's kind of
[14:05]
what's been on my mind today I've just
[14:07]
been kind
[14:08]
of
[14:11]
contemplating all the work I'm going to
[14:13]
have to do in here
[14:15]
and it's not going to look pretty cuz I
[14:18]
think it's going to be a bunch of you
[14:19]
know insulated boards and
[14:21]
then um probably a layer of reflecting
[14:25]
so everything's got to be all shiny in
[14:27]
here I don't know how I'll make that
[14:29]
prettier because I will want to do
[14:31]
something I was thinking I could pull my
[14:33]
paints out and just kind of do an
[14:36]
abstract painting like cuz I can't paint
[14:39]
but you know I can make brush Strokes of
[14:40]
different colors something like that I
[14:43]
don't know um cuz I kind of think of it
[14:48]
as a permanent
[14:49]
installation I just want this thing very
[14:51]
well insulated because the manufacturers
[14:53]
don't do that they're just they're
[14:55]
absolute grap
[14:58]
and most of the RB Community just
[15:00]
accepts it all of the things that the
[15:03]
manufacturers do nobody pushes back on
[15:05]
them and they just tell people like me
[15:07]
to adapt to the RV instead of making the
[15:10]
RV adapt to you you know I don't think
[15:13]
like that I'm going to make this thing
[15:15]
my home I'm going to make it work for me
[15:17]
not the other way
[15:20]
around what are you
[15:23]
doing take the ramp
[15:27]
ahead just really relx buddy we're
[15:32]

[Music]
[18:04]
okay all right we're stopping for a
[18:07]
minute here
[18:09]
good come look up here there you
[18:15]
go I didn't know this was recording I'm
[18:17]
keeping it Bailey sleeping peacefully
[18:20]
next to me so
[18:24]
cute okay this is some remarkably flat
[18:28]
Street
[18:29]
land and after a while you're just
[18:34]
like it's something
[18:38]
else there's nothing to
[18:42]
see oh at the same
[18:46]
time I love diversity so I'm not
[18:49]
knocking
[18:50]
it but wow just long stretches
[18:55]
of straight flat lands
[18:59]
for as far as the I can
[19:01]
see we've got some windmills to look at
[19:05]
that's
[19:07]
something so here's something
[19:09]
interesting I learned yesterday talking
[19:11]
to
[19:12]
AI I had always tried to understand why
[19:16]
like I'm legitimately not interested
[19:20]
in
[19:22]
um external validation like at all I it
[19:26]
comes from within it always has
[19:30]
[Music]
[19:31]
and I don't like unsolicited advice I
[19:35]
don't like the way that people try to
[19:37]
talk to me it bothers me greatly and
[19:41]
even like with my father like I remember
[19:43]
like a recurring theme with him where he
[19:45]
was always saying I don't know why you
[19:46]
always have to explain yourself like why
[19:49]
can't you just let me say my piece and
[19:51]
then be done with it all of these things
[19:56]
like are interrelated things
[20:02]
and like I cannot let it go when I feel
[20:06]
I've been
[20:07]
misrepresented and I struggled with like
[20:10]
is that a contradiction am I seeking
[20:12]
validation externally because clearly it
[20:15]
matters to me when somebody
[20:16]
misrepresents
[20:18]
me and what I discovered was a very cool
[20:22]
analogy for this imagine that you're
[20:26]
just sitting there and somebody's
[20:29]
painting your picture there's a painter
[20:31]
and he's painting your picture if that
[20:33]
painter paints
[20:36]
you in a way that doesn't reflect who
[20:39]
you are you know it doesn't look like
[20:41]
you you're going to understandably be
[20:44]
upset because you've been misrepresented
[20:46]
you have not been presented the way that
[20:48]
you know yourself to be it's not about
[20:50]
the painter it's about the painting so
[20:53]
every time on this channel when you guys
[20:55]
were like there were people who we're
[20:58]
always saying well you're thinking that
[21:00]
I'm a lot like them when I'm not and I'd
[21:02]
be like I'm not like you you don't
[21:05]
understand you're looking at this from
[21:07]
your world view you're not really
[21:08]
listening to what I'm
[21:10]
saying you you're not even trying to
[21:12]
conceptualize just how fundamentally
[21:14]
different we are like that stuff greats
[21:18]
on me and it's one of the reasons I
[21:20]
ended up turning comments off because I
[21:22]
didn't want to deal with it anymore now
[21:24]
I understand it it's because you guys
[21:26]
are painting me
[21:29]
as something
[21:30]
else it's not about you it's about the
[21:33]
painting that you guys try to project on
[21:36]
to me and it's just not acceptable to me
[21:38]
because you do not understand just how
[21:40]
fundamentally different we
[21:45]
are but it's
[21:47]
unfortunate
[21:50]
because there is a lot of value in being
[21:53]
more like me and I think that everybody
[21:56]
to some extent can better
[21:59]
themselves it's not always easy
[22:01]
especially when you're starting from
[22:03]
such a fragmented place but you have to
[22:04]
start
[22:06]
somewhere you cannot
[22:09]
imagine what it is like for me to live
[22:12]
in this world so differently from
[22:16]
you I'm not saying it's a bad thing I'm
[22:18]
saying
[22:20]
that I experience things profoundly
[22:23]
different than you do you are missing
[22:26]
out that's what I'm telling you I do
[22:29]
love these giant wind wind windmills
[22:32]
those are windmills right yeah wonder
[22:35]
why that one's not working but you can a
[22:37]
couple of them are must be how the wind
[22:39]
catches them or something I don't know
[22:41]
very
[22:43]
cool so so big just saw a bunch of those
[22:47]
on my way to Arizona in
[22:50]
December so I guess we're just up on a
[22:53]
hill then and that's why the windmills
[22:54]
are
[22:55]
there there's some more over there when
[22:58]
we get to that other Hill very cool I
[23:01]
love what they've done here they're
[23:03]
making they're taking advantage of their
[23:05]
you know their natural resources the
[23:07]
wind whole bunch over
[23:11]
there Farmland I love the rows and rows
[23:15]
of corn or whatever that is wheat
[23:17]
whatever it is um there's just a such a
[23:20]
beautiful symmetry in in Farmland that I
[23:22]
just absolutely
[23:24]
love so yeah there's still things to
[23:27]
see this is a wonderful place it was
[23:31]
just I was on a very long stretch of
[23:32]
land I was like oh my God this could put
[23:36]
me to
[23:36]
sleep you know if you think about it I
[23:39]
bet farmers are more
[23:41]
integrated because they live in work on
[23:45]
their
[23:46]
own they're not separating themselves
[23:48]
into buckets fragmenting themselves
[23:50]
thinking that they have to act like
[23:52]
different people in different situations
[23:55]
I'm not saying that they're as
[23:56]
integrated as I am
[23:59]
but they
[24:03]
probably just probably are better
[24:06]
integrated people what I'm learning big
[24:09]
part of fragmentation is the fact that
[24:12]
people can mentalize different parts of
[24:15]
themselves to the point
[24:19]
where it's almost like they have
[24:21]
multiple identities
[24:24]
honestly I'm guessing you know Farmers
[24:26]
probably do it too I mean like CU if you
[24:28]
take like the religion angle they
[24:29]
probably have
[24:31]
like you know a lot of them are probably
[24:34]
religious I would assume
[24:37]
and honestly religion is very fragmented
[24:41]
itself
[24:43]
it's you know you
[24:47]
might follow a certain religion that
[24:49]
have certain rules or ethics if you
[24:52]
don't really live by them you know
[24:56]
you it's just way people are I've
[24:59]
observed it my whole life so I know what
[25:02]
I'm talking
[25:03]
about ethics is something that has to
[25:05]
come from within it canot come from some
[25:07]
external
[25:08]
institution you have to know what's
[25:10]
right and wrong and be consistent about
[25:12]
it consistency
[25:14]
again you people just aren't consistent
[25:18]
systems aren't consistent our
[25:19]
governments aren't you know our our
[25:21]
corporations aren't they claim one set
[25:23]
of values and then do something
[25:25]
completely
[25:26]
different this this fragmentation this
[25:29]
is disintegration this is what's
[25:31]
happening I'm sure it was not clear but
[25:33]
in my previous clip when I brought up
[25:35]
the farmers it's because I'm thinking
[25:38]
about the fact that fragmentation has
[25:40]
been accelerating throughout my
[25:43]
life in the older
[25:46]
days when a lot more of us were farmers
[25:48]
when we lived in our communities
[25:50]
fragmentation was not
[25:53]
as as pronounced as it is there are
[25:55]
layers to everything that's why you
[25:58]
really have to sit with my
[26:00]
words I'm driving through Kansas seeing
[26:02]
Farmland do the whole time that I'm
[26:05]
driving and it's got me thinking about
[26:07]
farmers and other integrated things that
[26:11]
are part of my world
[26:12]
view you know so I I connect them all
[26:15]
there's interconnections to them
[26:18]
there's relationships between
[26:22]
everything my mind is always doing
[26:25]
pattern recognition that's what's
[26:27]
happening
[26:29]
I've seen farmers and I'm
[26:36]
thinking about
[26:39]
how just all of it I'm thinking about
[26:41]
all of
[26:45]
it we've lost like another thing I'm
[26:48]
thinking about is the fact that we've
[26:49]
lost all of our all those skills very
[26:52]
few of us have those kinds of skills
[26:54]
anymore we've lost all of our survival
[26:57]
skills when this Society collapses
[27:01]
people are not going to know what to do
[27:03]
in many ways I'm not but I'm working on
[27:06]
that I'm trying to fix that
[27:08]
problem you know I'm going to the
[27:09]
Pacific Northwest where I'm going to
[27:11]
learn to survive there and hopefully I
[27:14]
think I'm going to try taking up fishing
[27:15]
I haven't been thinking a lot about it
[27:17]
the way I don't know if I can take a
[27:19]
life even a fish's life
[27:22]
points I think if I approach it with the
[27:25]
right mindset and honor of the fish then
[27:27]
maybe I could and I want to learn from a
[27:30]
culture that appreciates that so our
[27:33]
indigenous cultures I'm going to reach
[27:35]
out to them and see if any of them are
[27:36]
willing
[27:38]
to teach me their ways when it comes to
[27:40]
fishing there's a lot of indigenous
[27:42]
tribes out there
[27:44]
that that honor that way of life and I
[27:47]
want to learn from
[27:49]
them they're way more holistic and
[27:51]
integrated than we are they've long seen
[27:55]
the problems that this world is creating
[27:57]
they probably see social collapse as
[27:59]
well as I
[28:01]
do and it really got me thinking about
[28:05]
you know how I felt growing up in this
[28:07]
world and the centuries of Oppression
[28:10]
that we have inflicted upon them and
[28:13]
continue to inflict on them even
[28:17]
today just generational trauma
[28:21]
honestly all in the name of what you
[28:23]
guys call
[28:25]
progress you have no idea how
[28:28]
fundamentally
[28:29]
flaw of the world to world view
[28:33]
is that we allowed this Western culture
[28:38]
to infect the whole
[28:41]
planet is the greatest sin Humanity has
[28:45]
ever committed on this
[28:46]
planet so I never got around to
[28:49]
uploading it so I'm just going to I just
[28:51]
want to document it for my journey my
[28:53]
first day at the other Campground I went
[28:55]
I found a Mexican restaurant um several
[28:58]
TOS over and on the way I picked up a
[29:01]
hitchhiker and I took this person to
[29:03]
some little town that he was trying to
[29:05]
walk to I used to walk all the time when
[29:08]
I was his age and Tom there and he waved
[29:11]
at me he wasn't even really hitchhiking
[29:13]
he just wav so I turned around ask need
[29:16]
to ride somewhere and that was cool
[29:18]
because do kind I know Fe
[29:23]
people don't have other people anymore
[29:26]
and I just think that that's really
[29:29]
sad anyways um I'm basically here so
[29:34]
this is very remote I don't know that
[29:37]
I'll find a hardware store anyway for
[29:38]
the kind of hardware store for the kind
[29:40]
of stuff I'm looking
[29:41]
for I might have to wait maybe just make
[29:44]
plans but yeah this is
[29:47]
remote love it see there's probably a
[29:50]
little town over there
[29:53]
the wow I really am like just the very
[29:58]
all little
[29:59]
places I think I'm going to love
[30:02]
this nice Hills this is an interesting
[30:06]
place a few of these little spots where
[30:08]
there's just a little tiny pond for all
[30:10]
these
[30:12]
cows oh this is wonderful I'm loving
[30:15]
this what an interesting
[30:19]
landscape we've got
[30:21]
some um rock outcroppings over there I
[30:24]
don't know what you call them but that's
[30:27]
beautiful I love this I'm legitimately
[30:30]
not the kind of person to live in fear
[30:32]
like at all I trust myself we almost
[30:35]
everybody couple more miles I am at
[30:37]
Wilson State Park in Kansas very tiny
[30:41]
Lake it's
[30:43]
interesting we are about a mile from it
[30:45]
oh there's a bridge going over too it
[30:47]
might be bigger than I think it is turn
[30:49]
left on East Shoreline Road see the
[30:52]
thing about me is I trust myself to
[30:54]
handle any
[30:55]
situation yeah oh that is beautiful
[30:58]
that is
[31:03]
gorgeous this is legitimately not the
[31:05]
kind of thing you kind of expect to see
[31:07]
in Kansas this is really something
[31:11]
else oh this it's not just that there's
[31:15]
you know the lake not just the lake
[31:20]
but just everything I mean
[31:24]
the the environment you know the the
[31:27]
cace field all of
[31:29]
it looks like we get to go over the
[31:38]
bridge I have this deep incine
[31:47]
there this will be nice only the weather
[31:50]
would cooperate it still in the '90s
[31:53]
supposed to cool down tomorrow though
[32:01]
I don't know how people Park like that I
[32:03]
just feel like that would be so
[32:04]
hard I've thought about it though I
[32:07]
think a lot of them probably have
[32:09]
heal but not all of them obviously some
[32:12]
some
[32:14]
manage YY we get to go over the bridge
[32:16]
wait do we
[32:18]
nope wait yeah maybe I don't know that
[32:21]
I'm in that area I don't know what that
[32:22]
means so guess we'll find out
[32:28]
yeah I'll just look for signs for
[32:30]
campgrounds of
[32:31]
course this is so cool oh man we got to
[32:35]
explore this this we have to explore I
[32:38]
didn't at the last place in here but
[32:40]
this is this I need to explore
[32:43]
this this is just so
[32:47]
cool I love this you can see a trail
[32:51]
there going around the lake at least
[32:53]
part of
[32:54]
me in Def arrive at Wilson State Park
[32:58]
Road oh this is
[33:00]
amazing ba looks pretty
[33:03]
happy so I didn't see any sides for a
[33:06]
campground and where I was supposed to
[33:08]
turn it just hit Park office and I just
[33:10]
wasn't sure so I kept going straight
[33:12]
because I also had like it C it a
[33:14]
certain kind of area just like that
[33:16]
other one um the first one we saw so I
[33:18]
was Wonder like maybe the campground's
[33:20]
down further I don't think it is so I
[33:23]
just going in a big circle going take me
[33:24]
like 6 minutes to get back to
[33:26]
her I don't see any easy way to turn
[33:29]
around so this is nice oh that is so
[33:34]
cool that is a
[33:37]
old oh that is so
[33:41]
amazing that was a pretty
[33:44]
Stone building that it's clearly
[33:47]
abandoned got some dirt roads like I
[33:51]
could go down those if I knew more about
[33:52]
them you know I don't want to get stuck
[33:54]
and have to detach my
[33:55]
teeth um just to turn around and all
[33:58]
that like that'll be a big chore I think
[34:01]
it'll happen someday though on my
[34:03]
journey it's bound to happen you can't
[34:06]
go in reverse in this thing because it's
[34:08]
you know I'm plate toeing um for
[34:10]
whatever reason AI did tell me what the
[34:12]
reason was I don't remember something to
[34:14]
do
[34:15]
with the Jeep not being able to turn
[34:18]
itself or something I don't
[34:20]
know it's not important what's important
[34:23]
is the mechanics
[34:28]
this is I love this this is so much
[34:31]
better than the last Campground I didn't
[34:33]
feel
[34:35]
like I feel like I'm in Kansas now when
[34:38]
I was at that other place it just
[34:41]
felt I don't know it just didn't have
[34:44]
the
[34:45]
same same Vibe this place does that's
[34:48]
for sure so I'm pretty sure we're just
[34:50]
going to circle the whole lake this is
[34:53]
just such a unique place I love this
[34:56]
there's the lake over there
[34:58]
I'm looking over here at these these
[35:00]
Rock outcroppings and these big hills
[35:02]
and these you know long stretches of
[35:04]
Road and um just Plains
[35:09]
of you know hardly nothing it almost
[35:12]
looks like a desert but it's not like
[35:15]
it's
[35:19]
fascinating I know you guys won't always
[35:21]
get it I seem childlike in my Wonder of
[35:24]
things like I've never seen these things
[35:26]
before it's not about that it's about
[35:28]
the fact that I'm here experiencing it
[35:30]
right now that's the difference yeah
[35:32]
I've seen pictures of this stuff I
[35:34]
wasn't living it when you're an
[35:36]
integrated
[35:37]
person it's not just intellectual or
[35:40]
emotional it's it's
[35:46]
deeper long stretches of
[35:49]
Road just cutting
[35:53]
through long
[35:58]
long roads and Hills this is an awesome
[36:01]
Hill I love this one my phone does not
[36:03]
do this Justice that is a very steep
[36:06]
climb very steep this should be
[36:17]
interesting this is probably nothing
[36:19]
though compared to the mountains I've
[36:21]
seen but this is still very steep
[36:34]
oh yeah I'm struggling a little
[36:37]
bit I do have a D minus and a D+ and I
[36:41]
did test them today and I discovered
[36:46]
they're backwards from how I thought
[36:47]
they would work but it made sense once I
[36:48]
thought about
[36:50]
it
[36:52]
um I think D+ D minus causes the RPMs to
[36:57]
go up which makes sense because it's
[36:58]
like me downshifting in my
[37:01]
Jee but I was thinking of it backwards I
[37:03]
was thinking if I'm on a steep incline
[37:04]
I'd want to use D+ but no you'd want to
[37:06]
use D
[37:10]
minus so learned something just by
[37:12]
thinking about it I love places like
[37:15]
this this is very remote it makes me
[37:18]
think about people who live here of a
[37:20]
mile turn left on 200th Boulevard okay
[37:23]
so we're not actually going around the
[37:25]
lake we're going to approach it from a
[37:26]
different angle um
[37:30]
anyways I think that they probably have
[37:32]
very interesting lives and they're
[37:33]
probably you know very interconnected
[37:38]
Beyond there is something wonderful
[37:40]
about that
[37:41]
always I know that some of the people
[37:44]
who live here probably don't want to
[37:46]
it's cuz they you know that's their
[37:48]
experience and
[37:51]
they've maybe set their eyes on
[37:53]
different Horizons and but there's still
[37:56]
something very profound and beautiful
[37:59]
and and growing up in a place like this
[38:01]
living in a place like this or even
[38:03]
choosing it you
[38:06]
know this is this is
[38:09]
wonderful so I just ended up turning
[38:12]
around using a road like this one just
[38:14]
going around
[38:15]
it so we get to see the Stone House
[38:18]
again that is so
[38:20]
beautiful I bet someone built that by
[38:24]
hand long time ago so pretty
[38:28]
it's still got its little I don't know
[38:30]
that that's not like a windmill right
[38:33]
there one
[38:35]
no I don't know what those things are
[38:37]
called but you obviously see them alive
[38:38]
in places like
[38:40]
Kansas so this is going to be a new
[38:43]
experience it's it looks like there
[38:45]
there's just this one little Loop and it
[38:47]
looked very tight so um right next to
[38:50]
other
[38:51]
ARs
[38:54]
and you know I was I'm prepared to
[38:57]
to navigate stuff like
[38:59]
this so here we
[39:03]
go holy crap they have a trail here
[39:06]
that's 25 miles long that's
[39:13]
incredible and they're called prairies
[39:15]
I'm going to have to remember that
[39:23]
prairies I wonder if that trail is I
[39:26]
mean if it's cir maybe we could take it
[39:29]
I couldn't do 50 miles 25 I don't even
[39:33]
know about that in this seat but maybe
[39:36]
tomorrow we do something like
[39:39]
that okay let's see what we got going on
[39:42]
here I like it here I'm just in a
[39:46]
parking lot and here are my my Loop just
[39:49]
disconnected my Jeep that's the shower
[39:51]
housee
[39:52]
there um there's like four separate
[39:56]
little you got restrooms and showers
[39:58]
combined in one each individual so you
[40:01]
have privacy and I've never seen them
[40:04]
like that yet so that was first they're
[40:05]
really nice so I think I like those I'm
[40:08]
going to go set up my camp and there's a
[40:11]
trail right I think that's one of the
[40:13]
trails you don't have to like the whole
[40:14]
25 miles I'm wondering what that
[40:18]
is I don't know what that is
[40:22]
curious anyway so I'm going to set up
[40:24]
camp and still pretty pretty early I
[40:28]
think it's like 2:00 is that right yeah
[40:31]
it's
[40:32]
2:00 um we'll go check out the lake and
[40:35]
maybe go on a little hike and do some
[40:38]
stuff so I took one look at this site we
[40:41]
had it wasn't very good would have been
[40:43]
very tight and or for my Jeep I found
[40:45]
another one that's vacant though and
[40:46]
it's right on the lake so this is where
[40:48]
we
[40:49]
are very
[40:54]
nice it's super hot is it's already 90
[40:58]
degrees in the cab in the not just the
[41:00]
cab area but the camper
[41:03]
area um there's no water here I didn't F
[41:07]
my water tank CU I thought I checked I
[41:11]
could swear it said there was water here
[41:13]
so didn't think I needed to waste the
[41:16]
gas mileage on until my tank out guess
[41:19]
it's time for me to just accept that
[41:21]
that's just have your tanks full because
[41:24]
you don't want
[41:26]
to I don't want to spend 2 days without
[41:28]
water again but I will you know so this
[41:32]
is the last time I'm not doing that
[41:35]
anymore I promised I would
[41:39]
remove um the reservation thing that's
[41:41]
on the other side that we were at I
[41:44]
think it's this
[41:46]
one spot we would have
[41:48]
had
[41:50]
and I mean I guess I could have got my
[41:52]
Jeep in here with everything didn't look
[41:55]
so level that where we're at now isn't
[41:57]
level either
[41:59]
though
[42:00]
so I just accepted
[42:04]
it
[42:08]
and
[42:11]
um yeah I just I don't like going
[42:13]
through the I mean getting Level that's
[42:15]
a chore that I can live without I don't
[42:19]
need to be
[42:20]
level I've been down level for so long
[42:23]
that it's
[42:24]
just um
[42:28]
it's just um distracted by other
[42:31]
people second nature to me now right so
[42:36]
we'll survive
[42:37]
it um I do want to hike the trails here
[42:41]
want to explore this Prairie SL
[42:44]
Lake but it is very hot so I don't know
[42:49]
want to once I get my gam that's where
[42:52]
we're going now um I'll check the
[42:55]
weather here I'll see what tomorrow
[42:56]
looks like
[42:58]
and I'll figure out if there's anything
[43:00]
nearby I don't think there is cuz when I
[43:03]
was driving when I drove past this place
[43:05]
on
[43:06]
accident there was
[43:09]
nothing long stretches of
[43:11]
Road it was
[43:14]
cool but I don't expect to find anything
[43:17]
here like a
[43:19]
hard so maybe I'll I'll just check what
[43:22]
does my next place look like
[43:26]
and just plan to do everything there
[43:28]
make a list do some measurements in the
[43:30]
RV because I need to know how much
[43:33]
insulation board I
[43:35]
need I was thinking maybe what I would
[43:37]
do is put reflec tis on the
[43:39]
ceiling cuz that would be easy
[43:42]
to um you know carve into the right
[43:46]
shapes that I
[43:48]
need um and it wouldn't take up a lot of
[43:52]
room I think it would be harder with but
[43:56]
I don't know I want to do it right so
[43:58]
I'm thinking it through that's what I'm
[44:00]
doing right now I'm thinking it
[44:01]
through
[44:05]
and definitely putting up boards on all
[44:08]
all the walls that is a
[44:11]
given wonder how I'll secure it like
[44:14]
with glue
[44:15]
or I don't
[44:18]
know this is something I'm going to
[44:19]
research with
[44:21]
AI I'll make a good
[44:23]
plan probably best I do at the next
[44:25]
Campground that way I can get myself
[44:27]
some time to really plan this out I
[44:29]
won't be able to get it all done at
[44:32]
once I might not even have the room for
[44:34]
all the supplies to buy those all at
[44:37]
once but maybe because of the storage
[44:39]
outop I have now that might be a
[44:42]
possibility
[44:44]
and I can just keep working on it
[44:46]
tinkering on it while I'm on my way to
[44:48]
the Pacific
[44:49]
Northwest by the time I get there maybe
[44:51]
I will already be prepared for the
[44:53]
weather that would be pretty
[44:56]
cool so I'm going to end it
[44:58]
here with these beautiful trees they
[45:01]
just look like giant bonsai trees to me
[45:03]
very
[45:06]
neat this one particular
