One of the greatest things in life is escaping the feeling of being overstimulated by our society. The peace and quiet leaves so much time for deep thought and contemplation, which leads to growth and healing without distractions. You are definitely wise beyond your years. And holy crap!! I just noticed you’re up to 133,000 subs, congratulations! I remember seeing that number at just a couple thousand. I wish you all the best, and safe travels ✌️

Imagine having the hydraulic platform at the back as somewhat of a deck, that folds up to protect your sliding door (hopefully one that opens completely, not just one that has a half sliding and the other one fixed), and then other panel that lifts up to make an awning above the deck.

Changes are not always easy but sometimes very necesary, changes can surprise us with very rewarding life experiences. I made a change back in 2008 moving out of California, been living rent and mortgage free ever since. It takes alot of courage to make a change thanks for sharing take care of yourself and greetings from this little rural corner somewhere in Mexico.

The places you visit are so peaceful and beautiful! Happy to see you on the road again! ❤

are you sure little finn isn't part bunny rabbit? lol watching him just hop around is just so cute. i'm glad you are enjoying the new rig.

Your energy is just so beautiful. I can feel how aligned you feel and how you're actually listening to yourself and what your inner knowing says is best for you instead of the world. Your confidence in yourself is just so beautiful to see. So so so happy for you!!!

You’ve figured it out Mariah good for you. A simple life is a life worth living. All you need is warm safe place to sleep and eat. Everything else is a bonus.

Your videos are so tranquil & give me so much inspiration. Such a simple yet complex way of life, I love it 🤍

Found your channel last week and managed to watch all the videos up to this point, excited to see what's next! thanks for letting us all live vicariously through you!

I’m so glad to see you so happy in a place that you seem to truly be making your own!! So much potential!!

I just sold my box truck camper. Lived in it for 4 years and loved it. Went to a second hand store and spent $250 and screwed the furniture to the walls with L brackets. A propane camp stove on top of a tall dresser. I can't look hot water heater hanging on the wall. Made a shower with two bungee cords and shower curtains all the way across the truck and just push it all to one side and I had a pan with a hose I stuck it out the back door 2x2 set up in about a minute and a half. Put 400 watts of solar on the roof used ladders for mounts and truck cap clamps to attach it to the box truck roof. Guy sold me a recycle tiny Marine refrigerator for 50 bucks and I was on my way. The second hand store had one of those rollaway beds that was real good quality and I put it against the wall and made a shelf over top of it so at night I just pull it out flop it out and flop down. I lived in one city and I slept somewhere different every night. It was a blast.

I am so happy for you! I am also glad to see you did not wait for your build to be done to go on your first trip.

@@justchill135 unfortunately , there have been many murders in campgrounds, on trails (including the Appalachian Trail), even National parks have had murders. I remember one serial killer stalked a trail, I think it was AT but can’t totally remember. Many people have reported being assaulted or followed by weirdos, and many many more have been victims of theft. Proportionally, definitely more in urban areas, but seems nowhere is really safe anymore. It’s like everyone has their heads in the sand. Doesn’t anyone watch true crime? Happens all the time! I grew up in a nice area and I know of several murders, some by strangers.

I'm so excited to see the build!! I really wish you would consider putting a shower in your truck! It can be done and you won't have to pay for showers anymore.. it goes where you go and available 24/7 😍

All right a baby bottle water pump and hwy 395. My favorite bug out place when living in the big city of LA. Mariah's highway 395 clothing line. Kool. So much room in that truck. Frame in the ceiling first with 4x8 insulation panels cut to 2x8ish. Then frame the walls with 2x2's and the same insulation. Skin it over with pine paneling. Keep the roll up door and put a 4-panel clear sliding door several inches forward of it in the back.

I love how you wanted to make it happen, used what you had and didnt wait around to build a full setup to get started. Life works out exactly how it is suppose to and this will give you a feel before committing a million dollars to something that may go unplanned. Great job on jumping to it. BE safe and have so much fun and freedom! (I know this is a year ago; eager to see where you are now! and what your experience/feelings are now after time has past) ^^EDIT i didnt realize that you had a van before this so its prob not as new but still interested. this is the route I would go as well.

building this thing from the ground up as you travel, that's awesome actually. Can't wait to see how this will play out 😄

I’m so happy for you and your adventure sis be safe out there 🙏

I remember when I started watching your videos and you seemed so sad and lost abput where you were supposed to be. Seeing you so confident and comfortable in where you are is so stinkin beautiful. Seeing you sing and be so happy is so great. Happy for you.

The eastern Nevada mountains are one of my favorite places on earth. The 395 corridor is just awe-inspiring. Glad to see you enjoying your next chapter!

Just recently discovered your videos and have already binge watched a couple dozen, love your editing, music, and shots of the incredible scenery... I feel so at peace and want to go out and buy my own rig tonight. Also "living in Steve" made me laugh out loud.

I just discovered you/your channel this morning and binged a ton! Love your style, attitude, determination, creativity, and beyond. Excited to watch your newest journey- glad you posted a new video just a bit ago :-D

You ARE a very fortunate person, as you said yourself. I like the fact, when you said you have water, electricity and a toilet....and how you were just so content with that alone. Plus when you opened up the rear door, and the view / world just waiting to show you its amazing glory each morning. Take your time with your build and the spirit will move you to make the right decisions on what to do next. I've been to where you are now....and it was wonderful. Its good to see how you have an open mind and can really appreciate everything. May God Bless You !

So happy you're happy! Love seeing how this new adventure is evolving.

Give a hug to Fynn for us...and maybe kick the tires on Steve. All our best to you and this brand new adventure.

It is so relaxing watching someone make coffee when you are sitting back drinking the coffee already in your hand. I am planning to acclimate my darling Rosarita mutt now living in SD to winter at altitude this year. I think this video has given me a route. You sure know some beautiful places. As you revise your build plans keep that joy of openness in mind. Even a box that size can get crowded pretty quickly, though I say that as someone who travels with twice the humans and triple the weight of dog.

Wow, such beautiful landscapes and a cute dog. Thank you for sharing.
