Dreaming of life on the road
Good morning guys, just thinking about my future. So many people pull off just packing up and living on the road. They figure ways of making money, getting food, getting around. Why does it seem so far off for me? Cody mentioned waiting another year before leaving. The thought of that made me want to cry. I could stay for the spring and summer but I can't stay another winter in Utah. I get so depressed, I have no energy, I'm tired all of the time yet I can't sleep. Winter is awful. You'd would think being born and raised in Utah and spending two years in Golden, Colorado I would be better acclimated to the winter season but no, it just kills me.
Leaving would be more feasible if we didn't have four dogs. Not only that but basically four useless dogs. (lol) Only one of them is really maybe capable of learning any useful skills like hunting or tracking. The other ones are basically just derps. If it were just Cody and I, we could leave with our backpacks on our backs and just walk and hitchhike but the dogs wouldn't be able to handle that especially if it got really hot. One of our girls is an Akita and she doesn't do well in warm weather for long if we are not right next to a creek that she can lay down in.
So, with walking being out of the question, we have to have a vehicle of some kind, one that can transport 4 dogs, Cody and I and also hopefully be able to live out of. The problem with this is; 1. it costs money to purchase and maintain these things. 2. Cody and I really don't know how to maintain a vehicle that is traveling a lot. 3. If we could save up enough money to buy some sort of trailer and truck or a vanagon they would have to be used and cheap, which most likely means old and not in the best shape.
I'm not even going to get started on figuring out how to make money right now. All in all, I don't know how people figure out how to do it. I could use some help and advice. I really want to be free.
