Welcome to episode number 60 of Nomad Ramblings: Conversations from the Road. We recorded this episode inside Brian’s topper in an undisclosed location in Rim Country, Arizona. I (Craig) left Gunnison just under a week ago to take my nomad game to another level by throwing myself into my YouTube channel - The Coleman Road Journal - and other nomad revenue generating strategies. To that end, I’d greatly appreciate it if you seek out and subscribe to my channel. There’s some decent stuff up there now, including some video of this conversation, and more content will be coming on a regular basis. Today, Brian and I talked about how we’ve found the nomad lifestyle bolsters our mental resilience. In the last episode, we talked about our nomad strategies to fortify our economic resilience to situations like the coronavirus, and to day we turn our attention to our mental resilience. We both revisit our past experiences with substance abuse and mental health challenges (see episodes 12 and 18), and talk about how the COVID19 situation is ripe for stress and substance abuse for those in lock-down situations. We encourage everybody to be mindful of their stress and pursue healthy outlets for relief. Naturally, the backcountry nomad approach is working for us.
