I discovered the "Lost With Mike" blog years ago while researching whether anyone else thinks riding small scooters for long distances is fun...well low and behold there was!
Mike's adventures (more than just scooter trips) are legendary. He decided young to actually live his life while he can, instead of working it all away in hopes of some payoff at the end. He also lives a simple, healthy, low-impact lifestyle, I think proving money is never really the reason holding us back.
Barry was inspired by Mike's tiny house projects, I was inspired by his epic adventures. I hope you all find this one inspiring too.
As always, thanks for watching. --Back Roads Brenton

PS: This video got demonetized due to using copy-writed songs. I probably would have only made a few bucks on it over time, but if you want to donate a few bucks toward the next adventure--would be much appreciated. A gallon or two of gas goes a long way on a Honda Ruckus (and a shanty boat) :)

Ever wonder what those abandon farms are like inside? I couldn't resist. Then the floor caved in.

Howdy fellow adventurers, I figure it doesn't hurt to include some "not ready for prime time" footage for those that might be interested in what's going on between videos. Wavey and I moved over to the Titusville area, where some friends are letting me hang out and work on the boat. I'll share more with you soon. If you happen to know anything about the St. John's river, drop me a note eh, I'm thinking about a trip from the headwaters to the ICW.
Can Wavey send you a post card or some sea shells? donation (any amount will do)

Howdy fellow adventurers, I figured I'd bring you along on one of my money making adventures. I think it was Adam Smith who wrote in "Wealth of Nations" about one of the purest form of capitalism is to buy something in a region of scarcity and transport it to a region of rarity (or something like that) I think he was talking about spices. Anyway, in the case of boats, if you can find an "orphan" far away from it's nature habitat--say the desert or opposite coast of origin, and you're willing to travel, you can often make a profit on the "spread"
This time I found a Nimble Nomad that somehow found its way to the Oregon coast. This was an exceptionally long trip (and I rode out sever food poisoning along the way) but everyone seems to be happy in the end.
We also stop by an interesting road side attraction in Montana.
Thanks for watching, as always...and we'll see you again real soon.
