Hi Amanda, Iam a pensioner from Nottingham in the UK. Really good to watch our Mav on his travels, such a lovely young man. ❤🌹❤

I really appreciate you showing vulnerability and discussing an issue that is still to this day not easy to talk about. It’s ok not to be ok. You don’t always have to be ok. You don’t always have to smile. I am struggling with isolation and anxiety and I just want you to know how much I appreciate this real talk video!

It's a natural feeling! We all get lonely sometimes, the weather, the time of year,losing someone, many reasons, still a natural occurance. However your brain is sending a message . You need someone close. You've been in a relationship, there are good in all or we wouldnt connect at all. Spend time watching videos on utube, there's great joy in connection with others. You may need to become conneted to someone that connects with you. Maybe take some trips with somene and see if that's what your looking for. Wanting to connect is a wonderful feeling, God gave us the desire to be one by one and then two. It may take on a little work in arranging part of your life but it's worth it. Finding a companiion a 4 ft one or 2 legged one. Enjoy the search just Don't stop videoing we need you ! Seriously

Mav, the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with ended it with me last month after 3 years. I can’t even express the anguish I felt during that first week. I would sleep 3 hours, get up and watch your channel from midnight to 8 in the morning before having to go to work. Whether you know it or not you are helping me get through this depression.

I know there must be some pressure to perform for your audience, but I hope you understand that a lot of us really appreciate your honest feelings. I just want you to know that I appreciate your content and perspective, and you don't have to hide your feelings to honor some sort of societal expectation of what your content should be. Keep on truckin', Mav. Love ya, brother.

As someone who is going through a lonely part of my life, its refreshing to hear that I'm not the only one and that others feel this as well. Hope that everyone finds a way to break their streak of loneliness. Appreciate the transparence.

Long story short my Dad was an abusive violent alcoholic crackhead and I spent 39 years living there to keep him from killing my mom few day before Christmas he did it again and I defended my mother from him and a week later he died. Of course my mother blamed me and kicked me out and I was living in my truck for a little over six weeks and I discovered your videos which helped me feel not so alone in my truck those nights so I definitely know how you feel! I’m in an apartment and living on my own for the first time in my life and healing through so many years of violent trauma and your videos inspire me to learn how to cook as well! Thanks for the videos and all the hard work you put into them! Keep up the great work!

Mav, I think the fact that you've gone to the trouble of creating this video shows incredible self-awareness and personal growth. As we get older, we start to worry less about what others think of us and more about how we feel about ourselves. That's true growth and maturity in action. That you can have the bravery to share your feelings with others to possibly help them cope with similar feelings is a testimony of what a good person you are inside. While we all would prefer to think that there is a perfect world somewhere, it just isn't so. There are always issues that will come up and have to be dealt with in some manner. I can remember my dad saying that life is not about avoiding problems, it's about dealing with them in a fair and just way. So congrats Mav, you're doing a great job and we appreciate you in ways you might never know.

Being alone can be both awesome and cathartic… but always learn from it!

I dropped out of school at 15 because of anxiety, depression. Most thought it was cause I was lazy, stupid. My dad passed away after 4 years of dementia late 2020 (was only 50) & then shortly after my dog of 16 years passed. I've never talked to anyone about any of it really. Leads to a lot of lonely nights. Your videos have helped me thru many of those nights, Mav. Really do appreciate you.

So i feel lonely alot even when around people, saving up some money to go someplace i want to travel to and maybe get that chance to grieve, i haven't grieved yet from any of my loses yet...good luck in finding some happiness

Social media really blows everything out of portion and makes us feel as if life is a party 24/7, which it is definitely not! Excellent video and transparency, I appreciate and value your channel tremendously! Thanks Mav!

For the most part I’m lonely. I try to fill the void with stuff I enjoy, but to honest most people forgot about me. I got Covid a while back and since then I have stopped going out and meeting new people. It’s really put a bummer on my life. However watching your videos, I have wanted to camp, make food outside, and enjoy nature. Thank you for giving me something new to do and experience in my life.

As an American veteran with several deployment experiences and my own slew of mental health issues, you hit it on the head about loneliness. Your insight on the subject is well thought out and I can tell you've spent a lot of time on the subject. Much love from America!

Hey Mav - I feel what you’re laying down. Super hard to cultivate meaning without an immediate community to share in the successes n failures of it. It’s prob why a lot of us go crawling back to that steady job, even after making the big escape. It’s not even about the money or the security, but far more about the community and the home of it: the direct sense that you’re an integral part of that which surrounds you, not an outsider always looking in. Anyway, great to see you got to Nova Scotia! Too bad the weather didn’t work out. That is, indeed, a great stretch of drive. Thinking on hitting it on a bike next week. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a big white truck ;) ✌️

Mav, im not sure i've ever commented on a youtube video in my 27 years on this planet, but I'm currently travelling alone for the first time, in Canada actually, and started to feel a bit lonely , this video has made me feel much better about it. Thank you, keep it up x

Nobody will truly understand loneliness as much as someone (myself for example) with no family and no real friends. I have absolutely nobody to talk to, vent, etc. If it weren't for my two dogs I would have zero reasons for continuing to waste oxygen. Your channel helps to see that there are others feeling something similar.

Some people let it get to them, others not as much, but that Voice is always there in everyone, chattering away about the past & the future. It never wants to stay in the present moment.

Mav! Firstly, thank you for being real and for sharing. There was something I once learned: we all have a tendency to get triggered or to feel a certain way - say being lonely. And if we know we have such frequent tendencies, we can put things in place to prolong the time it takes before that hits or to cope with it better. So when it comes to loneliness, perhaps our cure is just to be around people - so then it’s putting in pit stops in your road trips to involve some social elements instead of waiting till you feel the feeling inching before you do something about it. It’s like if you know you wanna prevent yourself from getting hungry at night, you eat adequately or take snacks throughout the day to prevent that! Of course, nothing wrong with feeling lonely and we should all have that course through us and sit with it so we can understand what it does to us. But also no harm thinking ahead to prevent that from hitting you as hard :) Secondly, I wonder if there’s a way for us to help you feel like you have a community that you can actively engage with instead of only via comments on videos you’ve published (if you ever think you want that) - perhaps it’s sharing updates as you are on channels like Instagram so we can engage with you, or having some sort of AMA or whatever. Could be nothing but thought of suggesting as food for thought. Lastly - Indomie. It’s what I grew up on and there’s so many of such type of dry instant noodles. As the name suggests it’s from Indonesia. Indomies have several flavours - but there are also other similar brand like Ibumie (the original flavour is my FAVOURITE). You should 1) boil the noodles then remove it (like what you did though would cook it in a pot on a stove top) 2) add a sunny side up and even processed sausages and it tastes like home 😂 And definitely so easy to make and such a great taste. Wish it were easier for me to send you Asian food/snacks internationally, I’d have so much to recommend! For now, hang in there man!

I’ve been a travel nurse for going on 3 years now and what you said really resonated with me. After being on the road for all these years, I’ve reached my breaking point where I just feel so lonely. It’s hard but it’s nice knowing that the hard periods don’t last forever. Thanks for creating this video

I was having these same thoughts about loneliness today! You're right, it's hard to find those few who get you and it's important to have a sense of some kind of community and contribution. You are inspiring a lot of people to re-imagine their lives and that's a great contribution, but I get that you also need what we all do, another kind of sense of connectedness. I really appreciate your honesty and transparency about these thoughts. I'm alone a lot and generally like it, but I was thinking today that for me there is too much negative self-talk, and also sometimes it gets too easy to just not connect. It takes effort, that's for sure.

Mav, I been watching your videos for a while. As an older, handicapped guy in the Midwest that lives alone, I don't get around much. I spend a lot of time on KZread watching a variety of different things. Came across your channel last year and found it interesting. This latest video, I see you have a philosophical side that I've never seen before. It's good, what you say about loneliness, anger, etc..... it's true, and it really makes sense! I know there's someone out there that needed to hear it. Thank you for the prophetic message. As YOU would say, Keep On Truckin' !

Thank you for speaking from your heart. People need to hear what you’re saying. Especially the part about what you’re supposed to do after feeling alone or sad or depressed. My father was to proud to ask for help and he solved a temporary issue with a permanent solution, leaving his family behind at the age of 51. Miss that guy. Mav- you’re wise beyond your years and your passion and drive keeps lots of us going. Thank you.

I’ve watched this video 2 times now and both times I’ve felt extremely lonely. I cannot explain how much I relate to this video and how much it made me feel better not once but twice. Thanks Mav. Thanks for creating this masterpiece. We’re truly not alone!!

Posted about this frequently during my time doing van life. It sucks, van life is dirty, hard, and not what social media makes it out to be. It's lonely, it's miserable at times, but at the end of the day you get to do what you love, and see amazing places, meet cool people and eat good food. I spent almost 2 months in Moab, that was the only time during van life I felt a sense of community. One thing that helped me a ton was doing this with my dogs. A puppy may change things up for you, I'd consider it for sure if that's something you think you could handle.

Sending you a mom hug Mav. 🤗 You pushed yourself through an illness while being a long way from home and still shared such beautiful content and energy. Thank you. Be safe..be well.

I really appreciate this real and rawness Mav because somehow bringing it up, talking about it and facing it and seeing/hearing your thoughts on it really takes the edge off the loneliness. Thank you :)

Thanks for sharing this, Mav. Everyone goes through ups and downs in their life, and everyone gets a little lonely sometimes no matter what situation they are in. Little pep talks like this one can give a person a little push forward. Also, thanks for that small comment in the end 😊 You're great, Mav. We love you and your content! Keep on truckin'!!! ❤

It’s great that you talk about this stuff. People often show only the best part of things and a lot of people fall victim thinking life should always be great.

Ever since I started watching your channel, you’ve been such a role model to me. I just went through the hardest break up of my life and I’ve felt so alone and bored and tired. I started drinking everyday to fill the void of loneliness. But since I started watching your videos about a couple months ago, I’ve realized that learning to be by yourself and in the process learning of yourself, is the most important thing you can not only do for yourself but to the ones you absolutely care about! I’ve learned so much from you Mav in more ways than you may think. You’ve truly taught me through your videos that being alone isn’t bad. It’s mostly learning about yourself and learning to love yourself by being alone. Anyways man I hope you don’t lose faith in what you’re doing! You inspire a lot of people and make the best original content on KZread. Happy 4th Mav!

Brother, you just hit the nail on the head. I've felt the same way in my current career. I don't feel like I'm doing what I'm meant for or am headed the right direction. I feel like most people feel that way but only a few are brave enough to say it. Your living my dream brother, and I've been planning to hit the road soon myself and find happiness. But just know your not alone. Keep up the content my man. Maybe I'll see you on the road some day. Keep on trucking!

Thank you Mav for being open and honesty about this topic. It is taboo and it shouldn't be. We are all human and we all have emotions. And life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it's cloudy and rainy. Like Washington this July! Much love to you and everyone out there feeling blue. We need to try to keep our heads up together!

I totally get it. I spent 10 plus years on the road storm chasing and I missed the community I had at home. Now I came home and I miss the loneliness of the road. Keep it going Mav.

Its natural for everyone to feel alone or lonely from time to time, but we never are.. we always have someone to talk to. Keep up the great work Mav, Much love man.

I always feel super blessed to have my parents there to share the wins in my life. They’re the reason I keep going everyday

damn mav, u literally hit us right in the feelings, the perfect timing to make a video like this with my life situation, i'm literally overthinking about my future life decision, going to to college or military, idk, depression hitting randomly for no reason, your videos literally make me forget about reality since 2020, so Mav, I really love your content and you as a person, I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST IN YOUR JOURNEY! and not in your journey Mav, in every persons life from your community, comments, socials, relatives etc greetings from Romania my friends !!

I feel you Mav. Been on the road solo for the last 4 months and definitely feeling worn down by the things less spoken about.

I needed this. I've been back in MN for over a month and felt so alone. I finally asked for some help. But I wanna thank you man. This helped more than you could ever imagine.

You are the man KID!!! At the beginning what you said is my life as an over-the-road truck driver! I have taken a liking to your channel.....even though I am old enough to be your father or even your grandfather! You are are among a very rare few that have channels like yours that I subscribe to Mav! Don't doubt yourself Mav.....for I have found you to be genuine and have a good heart. Just to prove what I think of you kid, I unsubscribed from a popular KZread camping channel because I feel they have lost their way. You are the real deal Mav, so continue on what you are doing and believe in yourself kid.....because WE believe in YOU!!! 😀

He thinks he’s dr. Phil lol

Great video! My buddy shared your channel with me because he said your personality matched mine so well. After this video i see it. Im a road mechanic always somewhere and enjoy the lonely life but it gets tough at times. Then you get around family and friends and you want to be back on the road. Life and love is hard but damn its worth it when you get past obstacles.

Watching this I was definitely saying "yep, I feel the same way" and I think it's really good that you've vocalized these things, like the tendency to overthink, second-guess yourself, etc. especially with the size of your platform.

The places you go the people you meet, the adventure of a lifetime. I find I am more open to meeting new people when I travel alone. The deeply philosophical episode, had a good discussion. Keep on truckin'

Thank you for being real and authentic Mav. You're the only person you're with 24/7 and it's a blessing that you're asking yourself those questions, feeling your emotions and that you're not only scratching at the surface but you go deep within yourself. It clears your view and lightens your heart. Your road trips are leading to yourself - your greatest version and your life's purpose - so keep on trucking Mav.

Very kind of you to reach out and acknowledge a subject not spoken of or too often. Nice to know that one is not alone when feeling down, makes it easier to ride it out. 🥰

When u said "its normal to feel things u feel alone sad or angry it's what we do after those feelings that determine what our life is like" I needed that

Bro, I feel you. Being the only one to motivate yourself is definitely tough and a challenge for sure. Sometimes you just have to take a break. I love what I do for a living I do online digital marketing and web development and SEO and all that stuff and it's awesome but if I find myself going through the motions and I know it's time to just take a break and enjoy life in other ways and then when I come back to it it's like a whole new beginning.

as someone who struggles with mental help i really appreciate you bringing it to life on a platform everyone can see

I've lived alone since 2011 and it was tough at first but it isn't so bad until most recently. With the pandemic and the isolation it created, it made things more difficult and made me more profoundly lonely. But spending more quality time with family and loved ones certainly help. Although, being single and not having a significant other does have its own setbacks. Mav, thank you for keeping things real. Love you too! 🙏🏻❤️🥰

i love the authenticity and honesty in this video, you don’t see that much especially on any social media platform these days. (hence why i actually limit it myself) keep it up mav. i love your videos. and thank you for this.

You seem to be a very genuine soul. You appreciate all the beauty this earth has to offer, and I have no doubt that you have impacted every single person that you come in contact with. Keep on truckin Mav 💜

Been watching your videos for a few years. For you to still be this real and honest and remain true to yourself, with your huge following is awesome. Definitely can respect that!

bought my truck today, and have already picked out a shell i want and watching your videos has given me more inspiration in doing this adventure/dream i need to do for experiences like this in life.

I’ve led a pretty nomadic life for the past five years, and so much of what you said truly resonated with me. I think not having a sense of immediate community is a key point that you hit upon. People don’t quite understand how life on the road can be so lonely when you’re constantly showing them everything that’s adventurous and beautiful. But I often find myself wanting the stability that they have… I guess the grass is always greener… 😉 Thank you for making this video and sharing these thoughts!!

Keep ur head up bud. I know how u feel. Be happy u have a roof over ur head and enough food trust me take those things away and lonely goes away quick. Ur living ur purpose that's evident in ur blessings. Stay strong💪🙏

Your thoughts and theories are on everyone’s minds. You definitely got it right man. That’s why I watch

One of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for sharing your truth & keep on truckin'

What a great video Maverick. So young and so wise. I took a motorcycle trip with a bunch of friends to NS and made some great memories. The lack of people was very noticeable. We all need to find peace in our own heads, then everything else is icing. Yes? You’ve chosen an intriguing journey. Peace.

Been fulltime on the road for a year. my suburban is my home. everything you said is TRUE. I battle my past mistakes, lonilyness and depression. But do not regret selling it all and leaving the city. Everyone is struggling no matter where we live these days.

Love this young man. Always enjoy sitting back,relaxing and watching Mav. He truly has the guts that I wish I had. You are truly awesome Mav.

I don't normally comment a lot, but I just wanted to say how much you inspire me and so many others. I'm currently still stuck in a job, but I'm saving up to turn my car into an overlanding vehicle. Not extreme offroading like rockcrawling or anything, but just enough to get where I need to go. I plan on taking about 1.5 weeks every 6 months to visit some park across america. Whether I drive or whether I fly, it'll be you that inspired me. I cannot thank you enough for all the hard days that you have gotten me through, and you should be proud that you are what you are. You're doing an amazing job, and whether you recognize it or not, you have saved and inspired and that's definitely a hell of a thing to be proud of. Thank you Mav. Keep on truckin'

Thank you for being honest. Thank you for doing what you do. You have shown a vulnerable side which is sometimes difficult for people to do . We love your channel and wish nothing but continued success for you.

Thanks for the reality check Mav. No matter how rich or poor (in any way) - we all have to confront the truth of our situations and learn how to cope. In this video you related to almost everyone on the most base level possible. It is refreshing, raw, and unique.

It takes emotional and mental maturity to be able to recognize what you are feeling and to be able to self reflect on those emotions. Keep on trucking Mav you’re the GOAT

Thank you for being real and talking about the up and downs that we all face, but that are magnified in a "life on the road" lifestyle.

Appreciate the introspection, thoughts and honesty that you displayed in this video. It’s not always easy or comfortable to appear vulnerable. Thanks again.

At least being out allows you to meet people. Many people are too broke or depressed to even go outside, probably why so many live vicariously through your channel

Hey maverick I hope you’re doing well bro! You’ve inspired me to get out and do what I want to do! You’re a huge inspiration to many around the world! Keep up the fantastic work! Keep on truckin!

Your channel has always stood out because of your authenticity, Mav. You keep things real and it helps us normal folk realize most people are just normal and that includes ups and downs. We are bonbarded too much by the “perfect life” that is always shown to viewers. you referred to it about midway through the video. In the age of the internet, most of us need these types of reality connections to remind us it’s only human to go through things. Thanks for your channel and all the work you put into it.

For those of us that chose to go through life alone, it can be really hard at times, I don’t travel, I have my own house, but I’ve been living alone for about 18 years, and sometimes I feel so low, but I wouldn’t change it, I couldn’t go back to living with someone now, i don’t think. Channels like yours Mav are great, when you don’t get out much, you’re really helping, so keep on keeping on brother 👍

When we are alone we have time to reflect, which is important.. as you said the key is to not dwell on it. Reflection and realization is useful but dwelling leads to anxiety. Many anxious people don't realize they have what many don't - introspection. Its a matter of using it properly rather than letting it be of detriment.

Watching this sitting in my bed trying to sleep since 4 hours cause theres to much going on in my head and im having a like a panicattack… but your videos definately helps calming down a bit and get some chill. thanks for that mav!

I’ve said it before on your videos like this Mav, props to you for being a KZreadr willing to speak on issues like this. You’re a real one

People are always going through things brotha never let anyone get you down . And keep on keeoin on. Make the best of everyday try to make sure you are happy regardless man .

Mav, I am always in my head worried about my fate, and questioning things. I’m glad we can relate. It’s on the daily, and it brings on anxiety and fear. Traveling alone is one of my biggest fears, the thoughts of “WHAT IF” and I have no one. I commend you! I’m going through it too, brother! Great videos! Drive safe, and always remember to keep on truckin! I’m adding Montreal and Quebec City to my bucket list! Thanks

I had to get counseling and do some biofeedback to get past that over thinking. Seriously consider doing biofeedback to change those brainwaves. It is such a relief! We are programmed like that by society and owe it to ourselves to work on getting past that influence. Not sure this helps…

Mav, I really like seeing the reality of of life ; all of it. I am really encouraged that I'm not the only one who feels like this from time to time and yeah, it's hard to be self motivated but the alternatives or consequences of not doing what I should when I need to do it, can not just affect me,but others as well. I am so happy to just be accountable to myself and GOD. DUDE! what outrageous camping spots. Gorgeous. Thanks for taking me along. I loved it. Until next time, keep on truckin'!🎇🎆🙏 Happy 4th of July Mav!😊

I subscribed about 3 weeks ago. Since than I've had a feeling of sadness and wondering how mav must keep going and how he must feel. This video really helped me come to an understanding. It took time to find the strength to watch. Thank you Mav.

Great video! I am not living on the road but I have felt incredibly isolated and alone as of late. It can be a terrible feeling. One wish that I pray happens is that you find that one person that you can share your experiences with together! To live, laugh, and love fully! Keep on keeping on! Tomorrow is a new day and you can start over. That little tidbit of advice has got me through sometimes. 🥰☺️

Definitely working on this myself. Being alone, and being okay and feeling fine being alone for long periods. . Sometimes the need to be around others gets rough but I have been working on being fine on my own. Gets lonely true but life will bring unexpected things, I truly believe that. Thank you for the amazing content 🤗🌲🍁🌲

It’s good to see that someone who inspire me, are feeling so emotional about what he is doing with his own life. I just started my own business in the fitness industry in México with small group classes but I’m feeling really sad and anxious because I’m no getting so much people interested in my classes. I don’t know if this is my fault for being off track, or cause I’m not putting more time and energy in doing the work perfectly. Currently I’m earning 150$/month and i just finished my bachelors degree in sports science :(. Thanks for being transparent i feel better to see that, in life nothing is lineal there’s high and low moments.

Hola José, en qué parte de mexico tienes tu proyecto?

Loved the video, and its message! It was a well needed reminder, and I will definitely return to this video when needed. At the same time, your channel for me, is a way to escape the exact issues, talked about in this video. Keep doing your thing Mav!

You sum up the sentiment of being alone and/or not being able to share special times, much better than many of us twice or more your age. In retrospect I wish I had had such a mature view on the topic as you when I were your age. Now, as I am well into my 40s and experiencing it again, knowing that I’m not “alone” is useful. 😊

mav im not an outdoorsman but. as someone who is also the same age. your an inspiration. great videos. college stealth camp is my fav. thanks for making medical office wait times something i look forward to with your videos.
