wow, wolf. Howlin' with the overlanders!
Without Bound and affiliated interviews/documentaries come to mind, incl "40 Years a Nomad" which I just downloaded recently.
I wax fond of the nomadic/overland life, but I do not drive, never wish to drive, and am a-ok with an apartment on a/the edge of nowhere (albeit just outside downtown Farmington, MO right now).
I see the apartment (or just kitchen really) as a sort of respite from all things. Solitude of just me and the warm glow of an amber-tinted command line. No one to interrupt or disrupt, like the distant (peaceful) memories of sitting in front of the Atari 2600 in the late-80s w/o a sound or a syllable.
One can (and do, just check YT!) create a calm and free environment like this on-wheels. In fact, big enough of an abode, and it doesn't matter if it's on foundation or parking at a campsite. So everything works :)
Congrats! Come visit the nature areas of SE MIssouri sometime!
i used to be the same
sometimes i get in my head
that i still am
a wanderer
there's a certain romanticism
to the idea
but then i think about the reality
long, cold nights somewhere unfamiliar
the anxiety of not knowing
what comes next
there's good too
meeting new, different people
seeing different places
with wholly different feels and culture
i had more stamina for that when young
now i approach 40
and know
that life would run me ragged
hell, in a way my current predicament
has me doing a small pastiche
of that lifestyle, and it's wearing me down
no
it's time for this wolf to make a
permanent den
ha
maybe, i actually have relatives down in ok
i'd leave the trailer though
too pricey to haul that far to visit
i do plan on taking a trip down
prob in a few years though
