Best story teller of all-time.
Smart move in life…
Youre lucky your mother let you use her as a safety net! Kind of her!
✌💙😎
Dude..gotta let that hair grow…
You need to stop saying you were homeless. You didn't own or regularly rent a home. That's all. You had friends and loved ones always helping you along your chosen lifestyle of traveling and exploring.

Weather or whether or not you were classified as homeless and not. It sounds like you always had a goal and we're always educating yourself. I'm amazed at your memory how you remember all the people and all the places and all the dates. It's incredible, especially for someone who's on the move all the time. One question, maybe in your mind where is home? And where are you at? Peace? Keep well
This hiking area is definitely bear territory…and perhaps outlaws to now-a-days. Wishing you always God speed and security during your travels!
Okay, this is not normal! Genuinely worried for you and the 🔥!😊
👍
Thanks!
Very interesting. I will watch this video again and again for the next 5 days. 👍🏼👍🏼💚
Doesn't your brother run Morris Construction in the Los Angeles area?
You make me flash back to my Humboldt days 85'-90'. Many nights getting pitchers at Hey Juan burritos and backpacking trips to the Trinitys. Thanks for posting!
You were the first Tuber my wife and I followed after researching the Annapurna Circuit many years ago. Your quirky style just seems to work (and I have a couple t-shirts to prove it). However, I could never do what you do for as long as you have done it. I traveled all over the world for work after college (grew up in Japan from 3 to 9 and was in the Army in Germany before college so I was used to traveling overseas). After traveling and staying no longer than a couple months in one place (mostly the Middle East) I realized I wanted to stay in one place for at least a year or longer to really get to know it. Fortunately life worked out to where I was able to do that and I think that works best for me. I have to hand it to you for your stamina to keep traveling like you do. You are a unique person.
Ive been homeless since xmas when my ex kicked me out! lol. working at a fishing resort on vancouver island after being in asia since xmas. i dont plan on living in canada full time though.
When I hear you saying 'work', I must always think of your stay in Workington. From there you could theoretically have seen the Wickerman Sculpture (google maps). 30 kilometers linear distance. But the artist who created it has burned it down

Hi Gabriel can u do a tour of wood side California
Sorry to say, but you are quite insulting and diminishing to true homelessness, most who are homeless not by choice, with a cushy safety net at Mommy and Daddy's to always go home to like you. Grow up.
10:26 I couple of days ago read the story of Alex Honnol free soloing El Capitan. Incredible feat.

Are there plans to release them as audiobooks?
Haven't watched the video yet, but knowing what I know about you, I would say you were both never homeless and in a way, always homeless. You always had your mom's place to retreat to, so not homeless. And your wanderings over the years have always had a back up of "home" if need be. I literally am without a home base when I travel-nowhere to fall back on…that is homeless.
Aren’t you still homeless?
