Long time listener, first time caller...

Hi, my name is Travis and I'm new here. I've been building a van over the past few months and was recently evicted because of my dog and being laid off during the first months of the pandemic. So I was in the process of becoming a nomad and when I look back, I have always been one. Being evicted just hurried the process alone. First, I want to thank you all for the information I took from here and youtube to build my van out and second I wanted to say Hi from myself and Beans, my cattle dog.

Hi Travis - welcome to the site and to nomadery. I thought evictions were not allowed during the epidemic.

Dogs are the best travel companions and cattle dogs are smart. It’s better than traveling with a human.

Hi Travis - welcome to the site and to nomadery. I thought evictions were not allowed during the epidemic.

I'm from Georgia and thought the same thing. You have to basically hire a lawyer and get multiple forms signed by your Drs that say you need to not be evicted. I didn't have the money to pay rent, so how am I supposed to hire a lawyer and pay a Dr to fill out forms??? Doesn't make much sense but it kicked my plan into a higher gear and I'm ok with that. I really hate it for others who do not have a plan...

I have to agree.   :heart: :heart: :heart:

Welcome to the CRVL Forums 

You and Beans have safe travels together.   I have had two Dachshunds (not both at the same time) that I traveled with in my Van rigs.   I think they enjoyed our travels more than I did.  LOL   When I was on the Atlantic coast she would dig up sand fleas & fiddler crabs.   She all but put us in the business of selling live bait to the fishermen there.

Thank you! He loves to ride, he's my hiking buddy and not-so-steep mountain climber. I might need to see if they make cramp-ons for paws!!!

Welcome Travis, the pup sure is beautiful. If you like hiking and dogs you will love reading John Muir‘s writings including stories of the sheep dog he had when he was herding sheep. and a beautiful little pup name stic-Kean (spelling?) who accompanied him on long winter dangerous hikes. That dog was special and away your writes is fantastic. No nature lover or dog lover or hiker should miss reading him.

Turning an eviction from a calamity into an opportunity...that's a great way to look at things. Best wishes on your journey

Damn bud, lot of that going around for sure. Hope the build and everything else goes well.

That would interrupt his constant thoughts that he's a human.

Thank you! The videos on youtube do not show the frustration of trying to make things fit in a van that do not belong in there! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I should be done this weekend.
