This video is a good illustration for folks who don't use wheelchairs/mobility aids (because not all disabled ppl do, either) which bits of inaccessible infrastructure we're taking for granted. I was pretty upset that CA relatively recently redid a trail in a redwood area and it's not wheelchair accessible...It was constructed 30 years post-ADA. Even when abled people are putting things in place for accessibility, it's usually for school or work and only the laborious parts - not the parts for having fun! Disabled people deserve fun and silliness and joy too! Hair-raising turn around on that trail. I'm glad you got through it. And that someone turned up to help on the suspension bridge. Also glad you got some time doing the exploration you enjoy.

Thanks so much for sharing! I look forward to your next video. Have fun and stay safe out there.

@Keepinitwheel306 Yes, as a very active wheelchair user myself who wants to get into vanlife, I would love to see content regarding your van build from an accessibility standpoint. Also, how you manage day to day tasks while on the road, Accessible locations, and, of course, more of your adventures like the awesome mountain biking you did in this video. Thanks again for the great content. 🙂

I’m so glad you stumbled upon my channel! Seeing comments like this motivates me to get to work editing some of the content I’ve filmed. Thanks so much and stay tuned 😀

i bought my van after i saw your tour on another channel. i’d been in love with the idea of the lifestyle ever since i saw a documentary about vw buses over a decade ago. but things were different then and i figured it was impossible for a quad so i gave up on the idea. then i found your video and your life made me realize that with current technology, i could live my dream. now sugar (my van) is at a shop getting her mods added. the build comes next. i guess what i’m trying to say is thank you lisa. ❤

Thanks! I had so many thoughts after that adventure so had to get a few out of my mind 😂

I am a bilateral a/k b/k amputee for 10 years now (Boston marathon bombings)……..I was walking in prosthetic legs pretty regularly for the first 5 years. For a variety of reasons I have been more in a wheelchair these last 5. So much of what you said really resonated with me, like exactly how I have been feeling. Thank you for putting yourself out there and creating this content helping others not feel quite so alone in whatever obstacles they have to face, live with ,and hopefully…..ultimately ….accept in there own lives.❤

Thank you for commenting! We certainly aren’t alone, it’s good to remind ourselves of that. I hope transitioning to a wheelchair more has helped more than hindered. It can be such a powerful piece of equipment with acceptance 💜

watching you turn around RIGHT BESIDE a gap was absolutely TERRIFYING. You're so much braver than I am ^^

My heart rate went up. I had to walk to the kitchen for a glass of milk. I love your idea of how to get your bike in and out of your van. I want a van and a bike, but I cannot lift the bike. You've given me that and some other good ideas! Thanks.

Great video Lisa it's inspiring to see all you do and the independence I especially like the idea of going south for the winter

If you have a iPhone 14 , the emergency satellites feature maybe a good thing.

I do have a 14! It’s definitely a backup along with my Garmin satellite communicator. Let’s hope I never have to use either 🙏🏼

Don't get eaten by a bear...lol

I am in awe seeing how independent and confident you are.

You mentioned that you take your mobile phone with you encase of emergencies as well as a Garmin, encase the phone doesn't have any service. Well I'm wondering if the Garmin also uses mobile phone towers to transmit, because if it does then that plan isn't going to work very well. I'm a computer programmer and the most important thing to know about technology is it goes wrong all the time. Satellite phones are expensive. Is there any reason why you can't take some distress flares with you as well as the other stuff? Distress flares are low tech enough to always function. But you might need to fire off a few before someone calls 911 (or 112 if you want to be more international). Most people might see it and say "that looks strange" without actually doing anything, but at some point someone would have the intelligence to dial 911 or 112. Just don't start a forest fire with your distress flares.

The Garmin uses satellite communication so, yes, it is a decent plan.
