The lady who dropped out after the first night was unprepared and set herself up for failure. She had no idea what she was doing, apparently had done no research as to what she needed. Apparently she hasn't been watching any of your videos or anyone else's. The first thing you are supposed to do is get yourself outfitted for your needs in the categories of sleep / bedding, cooking, bathroom options. Etc. She failed and that's on her. I would actually like to see new aspiring nomads to go out every day for a week and do daytime car camping and act like you are a nomad before you start all the driving around and sleeping in your vehicle. They could leave early in the day and go out and perform all the necessary things except the sleeping and get used to being in their car, outside, cooking in the car and maybe at a park finding places to be comfortable during the day, etcetera. Many people are nomadic/van dwellers but they don't travel great distances. It's not all about the driving, it's got a lot to do with just being comfortable with yourself and your abilities. I think the more people are comfortable with doing that sort of thing they can work up to spending a night or two out instead of just being thrown into the whole experience at once. THEN go off for a week or two. I think there would be a huge benefit that many of The kinks would be worked out. Set yourself up for success.
❤ EXCELLENT !!! 👍👍👌
What a sweet wholesome video with two very pure sweet women 🥺
I don’t know if I was traveling I would have a gun. I protect myself with pepper spray and a taser.😯
Absolutely Brilliant! Thank you for posting. The shower is actually a bathtub!
I wish you the best. I hope everything goes well Im 70 & I admire you
State of fl. It’s shooting or throwing a deadly missile which is a felony… because someone was injured it’s a felony I believe falls under battery. Either way it’s a serious crime. I’m not sure about Arizona laws. There are also charges for property damage in your case.
How anyone suggest you are a fear monger! Wise advice. And May we all watch out for and take care of one another regardless of our political views! ❤
Truly excellent discussion. Budgeting, war chest, social connection--these must be the three legs to stand on. Keep spreading the good word.
👏 Such Good advise
Great information 😊😊😊
Want to meet this cute man!!!
I gave up meat altogether ... 14 years ago. My health is better at 67. My budget is better. Oh, and then I gave up soda. Expensive sugar water that is only bad for me. I drink water, sometimes flavored with RealLime packets.
Thank you for this video, much appreciated.
Go be a long haul trucker for 35 years & live in a 6 foot truck sleeper cab ,living in a van is a breeze
Tony’s comfort kitchen, Rumbledethumps , a cheap easy use of cabbage,budget food, And Rumbledethumps is a word that just brings a smile to your face, for your consideration 😘😍❤️🙏🙏🦘🐨🇦🇺
Is this serious or one of your jokes Graham🤣
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 😂😂😂no true as, that’s why I gave you the KZread name Tony’s comfort kitchen,check it out if you get a chance,good budget food that’s an easy make ,with a name that brings a smile to the dial, as soon as I saw the clip I thought of you straight away ❤️❤️. I’m sure you’ll be able to add your special touch to it and turn it into something special 😘😍🥰❤️. The bride lands in Dubbo in an hour and a half,as long as she has no problems with her broom 👏👏👏🙏🙏
People who are in denial of how scary and dangerous this world is, are just plain ignorant. I appreciate your content, and I think its very smart to let others know what to watch out for, especially single women. The scriptures predicted how evil many people would be in the time we live in. (2nd Tim 3:1-5) There ARE all types of predators. There are scammers, carjackers, you name it. Nasty people today arent happy to just steal from others, but they have to harm or kill them too. Sickening. Be hyper-vigilant. Keep up with the great videos, and when the naysayers become someone's victim someday, they will see things different.
Thank you so much 💕🥰🥰💕💕🥰 I am doing what you spoke of in this video i really needed that clarity would love to hear what ever you can say to help with this dishion God Bless You ❤❤❤
Maybe you should block the person that made that ridiculous comment. You are providing valuable information, besides you have a background in law enforcement, and I would trust your advice over someone that has no experience in law enforcement. You cannot fix stupid. I appreciate your content and I enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you are doing.
Allowing the first one to have authority over us got us here. It's bad everywhere and those that aren't affected now will be before long. Best to all
Thank you so much for letting us know about this story so we can all be more cautious and aware of our surroundings. I will be retiring in a few years and my dream is to travel around the country in my RV so I appreciate your stories, knowledge and advice. Sending prayers and my condolences for that family and may God keep you safe out there as well 🙏
I'm 57 people are getting meaner. I'm a loner more than ever out of protection against the evil. I pray for strength, because it's hard to keep being good in a world of evil. Vanlife is hard, it not all bad, but the economy and people everything has gone down hill. I can't even afford section eight they raised my rent after signing a lease after four months for $205. I have to move right back in my van. I either have to pick an apartment or a car payment. The wages suck. In Portland Oregon the wages are the lowest in the West Coast, but our rents are like Seattle. Life is what you make it. I just make my little van my home. I thank God for Bob Wells and channel like this that support Vanlife, because living in a van there's a stigma, but the real stigma is being poor in the United States. They don't want to own up to paying people such a horrible wage that they have to live out of a vehicle. The real crime in this country is GREED! Peace and light and love.
❤️🙏go down to the border and tell them you’ve just arrived,you’ll get free medical and dental and they’ll put you up in a four star hotel with five hundred a week in spending money. 😘😍🥰❤️🙏🙏🦘🐨
Beautiful lady with a beautiful spirit...
Wow wow wow
No one and no where is safe
The cost of living increases have never kept up withe the real cost of living increases ……. in 20 years food has gone up 300% ……. the numbers are being manipulated to lie to us ….. 20 years ago my coffee was less than $5 @ 12 oz. …… today its $14-16 @ 12 oz …… 12 bagels were .99 cense - today 6 bagels are $8
With so much violence today, whether from illegal immigrants or drug heads or insane people, it just doesn’t seem safe to live like this anymore. How much fun is it to CONTINUOUSLY having to watch with your head on a swivel? That just doesn’t sound peaceful. That’s why I’ve seen so many young solo female van lifers who are quitting it. Stay safe out there whatever you decide.
Thanks for the heads up!
This is good advice. During the pandemic, I wasn't able to get my plaquenil due to rumors that it cured it. I've always prepped due to others needing food. I'm now just trying to organize everything I have. I'm not sure if she mentioned it or not, but medical supplies (bandages, etc...) are always good to have on hand.
Some bad guys? How about hundreds of thousands, the reason I’m hesitant to start van life. Thank you for all your content I appreciate the truth ❤ just found you a couple of days ago ❤️
It is a scary world. But dont stop enjoying like. But do be careful and aware of your surroundings
People need to be aware of the good bad and the ugly side of nomad living. And life in general. So I'm glad you don't just give the good.
You’re totally correct. Those people who complained will be the ignorant ones who may get victimized if they are traveling.
We wish someone can help him open a company building these mini Van houses!!!!!!!! So wonderful product !
We hope that some company will buy this idea and make many mini van houses like this !!!!!! It is so amazing for both camping and MINI HOUSE ! The governer shoud have this idea to build npmininhouses and use the empty land for a MINI HOUSE VILLAGE to help low income persons, families, and homless people ! We have so many empty lands , unused, but people just live on the streets and make the city dirty and stinky !!!!!!!!!
If only cities and counties would give land for tiny house villages the homeless problem could indeed be solved!
He really is a genius engineer! We wish they sell this mini van house !
This is absolutely amazing!
I started my RV life in 1996,stopped in 2015 ,Why, cause of issues like this,lots of homeless ,trash left in piles,free areas closed,gas , repairs, laundry,i got land cheap in Az ,lots of free areas or cheap in Az,so we go in an out.
I agree with you 💯 percent. Stay safe please
You are absolutely right
Thank you for sharing what is happening and how any solo traveler can stay alert. I don’t RV but I still watch and put your travel tips to use. All of us benefit from these videos sharing how we can travel safely even in our cars. Please continue to share. I plan to put your advice to good use as I travel in my car, alone. Thank you and keep helping solo travelers like me to be safe.
Thank you for your comment. Staying safe in the road info is needed for everyone not just nomads.
This also applies not only to van lifers but to all people today. Wherever you are, be vigilant. Some people want to live in a bubble and pretend life is a rose garden. I live life happy and in peace, but I am always aware of my surroundings. Thank you for your post. God Bless ❤
I loveeeee youuu this was great
You did the right thing! I’m a nomad creator also, and also value my viewers trust by showing the good and bad of being a nomad. I get the same criticism for “drama” videos, but everything in my life isn’t pretty. Rock on, mama.
People need to understand the difference between living in your vehicle by choice , camping around the U.S. or living in your vehicle as your survival. Most all you tubers make nomadic life everyone’s dreams. I think you doing these kind of videos will help newbie’s transition into nomadic life a lot safer and knowledgeable of things to expect . Thank you for bringing awareness to the newbie’s.
