Stay Strong and Don't Forget to Laugh : Videos to Make You Chuckle

Today I'm seeking out funny videos. I don't want to hear how many people have Coronavirus or how many have died. Or how much longer we have to stay home or how bad our economy is doing.

I just want to laugh.

I'm a hiker so these videos got me cracking up. (Scroll to last video if you want to pass on the hiker vids.)

Chaos at Home but He Cancelled Backpacking

Dan Becker makes me laugh all the time and I love his backpacking videos.

Secret Hiking Gear

I carry a foot massage but this guy carries....

His First FKT

FKT is Fastest Known Time (on a particular trail). Some like to be challenged to finish 2000+ miles on foot as fast as they can. This hiker took on the hike of all hikes!

AND FINALLY...

Not hiker related but I love it!

Heartfelt and funny all in one video!! On the Good News Network.

Stay strong and don't forget to laugh. :-)

AZT Adventure : I'm Walking 800 Miles in March 2020

I did it. I decided to backpack the AZT aka the Arizona Trail . It's about 800 miles and will take about 2 months. Whoa! 2 months with everything I need on my back - food, water and shelter. Two months away from general civilization. They'll be people and towns along the way yet it'll be mostly dirt, plants and wildlife (hopefully just the friendly kind.) How did all this happen? If you know me, which you may not since this blog is pretty new, I LOVE to hike. I feel empty inside when I can't hit the trail. (Watch some of my Youtube videos about it). But that's going out for a day and coming back home to eat and sleep in my comfy bed. Backpacking is a whole different beast. Yet I've wanted to do it for a few years now yet life circumstances have kept me away (selling my house, saving money, time). I'm not ready to talk about it but my sweet Maggy dog has crossed the rainbow bridge recently. She could barely hike so backpacking with her

The Problem I Have with Dating in Midlife

I read an article on Medium yesterday about dating in your 50's called My Problem with First Dates and Fifty-Something-Year-Old Men . This reminded me of the few dating months I experienced years ago. I dated 5 men starting about 6 months after my divorce was official. I dated for about 8 months or so then stopped - cold turkey style. That was 5 years ago. Since then I've had NO INTEREST in dating or meeting anyone new at all. That includes female friendships. When I made this decision I felt selfish. I wanted life for a while to be all about ME. Is that so bad? I wanted to explore who I am. Taking off from about 21 years of age when I was last officially single and see who the hell I was then, for the last 30+ years and who I want to be. This was around the same time I started my simple living journey . I just wanted life for me to be simple for a while. I needed to be only in my head; I couldn't have anyone else cloud who I was or what I thought.

Staying Home During Coronavirus

Quarantine. I'll admit it's not affecting me as hard as it is others that rely on working away from home, have small children at home and/or normally social. I live with 2 retirees. Mom seems to be ok since she's still working on decorating and setting up her new home. She's still removing items from storage boxes and ordering online. She's keeping busy. Her husband doesn't seem to be bothered much about staying home except that his early morning gym sessions have halted. He putters around the house and watches TV. Life almost feels the same as it did a month ago before the Coronavirus outbreak. Me? I'm cool. I'm an introvert so staying home and doing activities alone are my modus operandi. I'm working on building my YouTube page , and my 2 websites - Allie Rambles and Start a Simple Life. If you're curious, Allie Rambles is about my hiking and outdoor life. I'm giving away all my dirt loving secrets there. Start a S
