hey everybody eric here from nomadic fanatic a beautiful
sunny day in arizona and boy do i have some exciting news to share with you all
as we transition to a dirt road here but only two tenths of a mile of a dirt road
and then right up here right up here on our left
is a spot there's even a driveway oh let's just drive down this nice little driveway here
let's just go take a peek at something together guys you wanna do that
okay and then maybe we'll just turn right in here where you'd put a tiny house
okay all right let me get parked here thanks for joining me guys i will be uploading this video
with some nomad internet link below in the video description if you're looking for some
mobile unlimited internet which works out here pretty well um i have some exciting news guys
i mean i don't think i've been this excited in a very long time uh my offer was accepted land
in arizona uh pretty much raw land out here except you saw they did put in a culvert they put in the
driveway here which needs some more rock um it's a it's a one acre out here there's that sunshine
they uh they dug for septic and they did get it to uh peak so it's it's authorized for a one
gallon septic tank here water you would have to bring in
there is power and water at the street so that's an option at least one acre goes back pretty far
back there there is some garbage that was left dumped here that it's gonna need to be hauled out
but man look at this as the clouds roll in in and out here um arizona land gosh i can't believe it
i guess i haven't really shared all of the properties that i've been looking at here in
arizona this would be my eighth my eighth one in case in case you're keeping track
it took me eight tries to find the perfect one and ironically uh this particular acre
is one that kevin originally looked at before purchasing his down the road yeah we're just
down the road from where kevin and carolyn and ron just got property out here and and felix
is going to be staying out here it's a really pretty area one little bonus of this one though
they put in a pretty big improvement here we've got tv phone and internet here on the property
ready to go put in my name and then uh we don't have to worry about those three utilities you
may have like a bunch of questions rolling through your mind thinking i'm done being on the road and
and all this crazy stuff but uh it's just so this property cost me what the shop would
have cost me in about five or six months of rent just flushing my money down the toilet for rent
so what what what a great investment here huge huge spot i mean and plus listen
even though we're fairly close to the road it's quiet out here guys
it's quiet this is this is where something will go in the future stay tuned i will share
more on that later but i'm not staying here for the winter i'm getting back on the road
and we're going to go south together but i mean nothing wrong with uh investing in my future
i i'm just so excited so i'm going to do solar out here in fact let's get out of the store
i'm going to show you we got a solar store right down the road i should also mention this is not
official or anything we still have to close so this week i'm going into i'm working through a
title agency property that is going to make sure everything's legit and all our
property lines are met and all the paperwork you know that the deed title is taken care of
i think it took carolyn and ron about two weeks to close out here which isn't that bad
they're they're pretty quick on it so we're we still got some stuff to go through but
uh moving forward it looks like it looks like she's mine yeah there we go travel a little bit
farther down 61. now entering show low show low is actually uh in a different county but just
10 minutes from the property you're going to find walmart home depot lowe's dominoes
margaritas galore lots of mexican restaurants down here everything you need is just 10 miles away
yeah you think solar's king out here guys here at a white mountain solar although their prices
are a little high look at this array here this is 5 000 watts of solar 20 250 watt panels 5
000 watts ought to get it done wayne rb prepper wayne you watching i need you to come out here
and install something like this on my property you can get solar panels here from a guy locally on
marketplace uh 40 dollars for one 250 watt panel used which is a great deal uh you can you can
find some good deals you can also get ripped off but uh that's awesome yup back here at vagabond
base camp here at kevin's property out here he he cleared a spot for me before i came to give me a
a parking spot and uh and several other friends uh carolyn down there has an rv down there also
and uh if it weren't for kevin i do not think i would be able to have found this spot i mean being
able to park here and kind of talk with people um i really really want to pay it forward to him but
i i don't you know how to repay him right now because just being able to stay here and take
the car out wait for the car tires to arrive uh not to mention my my bike so reba is back at ed's
shop over there he's a massive shop over there and he's also invited me to stay out there he's helped
kevin and felix has been out there to do stripes on ed's because kevin was telling me that if it
were not for ed you know kevin would have never found this place kevin would didn't know where
to turn to so you know ed helping kevin and then kevin helping me and helping felix and and just
everything just kind of work worked out there's the bigfoot there there's frank and tammy's
rig their class a carolyn and ron used to be over there they had to go back down to uh the phoenix
apache junction area to take care of some stuff but they already closed on their property down the
road as well so they'll be they'll be up here in this area a couple times a year as well so that's
awesome oh we love our campfires out here kevin and felix are out on their trackers exploring i
have a little surprise for them i had some some wood delivered uh i believe you call this aspen
this is a big chunk of wood right would you be able to pick it up with with two fingers
aspen is really popular out here for burning so uh had a truckload of wood delivered for our
campfires at least i can do right and kevin's getting ready to do rainwater collection from
the roofs of the buildings there which i think is a great idea out here during monsoon time
but yeah i will say this uh my property doesn't have a view like quite like this
there's a there's a lake down there it's really pretty it's a it's a really nice spot his property
goes down the ravine the ravine here quite a bit kind of kind of windy up here on the ridge
but man arizona is beautiful i do in a way feel a little guilty after all the help and love and
support i've got from my my friends and family in illinois sean jill tj robert over there in in
missouri it's just i feel like arizona arizona's gonna fit me better long term and i hope you all
come out here i mean i'm still gonna come visit and travel and come see you guys for
for thanksgiving and stuff like that but you know arizona i feel like is is my area a lot of
sunshine a lot of sunshine very little bit amount of rain so too funny kevin and felix just got back
and they were followed by a familiar truck literally kevin ordered wood from the same
exact i mean the same driver the same truck is unloading a second truckload full of wood right
now i don't know so there will be no shortage of uh campfire wood here at vagabond base camp
yeah it's gonna last a while i'll get to enjoy some of it
i don't think we'll run out for a while felix hey foxy lady that's felix's puppy
we're out here waiting for the sun to set playing some uh ladder ball felix got me
on the first round by like three points a little different than beanbag beanbag toss
almost won
so carolyn's last throw was here that's a that's the doubler so she gets six points on the middle
one there that's the best throw on the last one there felix better start playing yeah only got
three points you see martini's got the ball she's challenging wilson she says come take this from me
go get the ball go get it it's just a girl get it from her go get it wilson go get it yeah
i can't help you i can't i'm not gonna do it you do it no you do it no
come on eric get her come on somebody help man she's just like she's daring
frank uh cut up some of the uh aspen wood there and tell you what it is burning really nice here
not a whole lot of smoke
yeah i have a little campfire here look at this we got we got tucker we got martini up on the
you realize we just made this wood pile so there there can't be any mice in there yet
you've realized that right i'm gonna check it anyway oh my gosh now baby mamey maymay's
