This video warmed heart and made me cry. I miss the pnw. Thank you for sharing. Makes me happy to see you so happy. ♡
U have a good taste... From India
My husband and I were there several years ago. That place is magical! I love seeing it here again as you share it with us. Happy hiking!
What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your experience!!
you are beautiful with a great presentation
Excellent information. You’re right about a water system being a game changer. I’ve carried the 5 gallon jug too many times.
I’m the same way. I took a month trip from Colorado To Jasper Canada. I like to know I have a destination but it does get expensive. I had a campground 10 minutes out side of Yosemite NP. 5 days for 124.00.
You should have told me you were in Oregon!!! I would have loved to show you some epic hidden gems.
Beautiful! Having never been to Oregon except the airport- you sure make it look amazing! Glad you are back!
I love all the greenery and water! Looks so peaceful!
Nothing wrong with chasing waterfalls, esp when they are that breathtaking. I look forward to your vids every week. Stay safe out there
❤❤❤ You take us to such beautiful places. Thank you!
I love Silver Falls! Another cool waterfall a little further down stream is Shellburg Falls, it just recently reopened from the 2020 wildfires in the area. Oregon has so many unique and beautiful places to explore! The child-like wonderment while walking under those falls is real haha :)
Thanks for the info! I'll mark Shellburg Falls on my map!
❤❤❤
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS YOU ❤❤❤ you never have to be alone with GOD
Amazing scenery, this looks so soothing and therapeutic! Love it
I absolutely love waterfalls and you, so am grateful to be traveling and soaking in the scenery through you! Thank you for being who you are and inviting us along your journeys! 🦄🌈 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! I don’t have many places saved to my “want to go” list in google maps, but this is on there! I actually went right into google maps when I saw this to save it and it was already in there! 😂
Haha! Nice!
As someone who doesnt currently have the opportunity to get up to the PNW for sightseeing, im appreciative of you sharing your experiences and images with us. Keep up the good work! ❤
Thanks for coming along with me!
Love this video! Real talk!
Thanks for sharing.
You are making amazing content but, you have to work on the title, description, tags, keywords, and other sections for organically better visibility of your videos.
Very good! I love how neat, clean, and uncluttered your set up is. I'd want to do something similar if and when the time comes. 😊😊😊
Love this video, very practical but clever! Thankyou for sharing! ❤
Just my 2 cents; Subarus are excellent vehicles that are low maintenance as long as you keep scheduled servicing as instructed Subarus can definitely last well past 300-400k miles. Subarus are part of the Toyota family and Subarus/Toyota’s have an impeccable reputation of quality, durability & longevity. My strong opinion is to keep your Subaru and nix the idea of getting a van. Especially if costs & finances are a huge concern. Also bc Subarus are beast and can pretty much drive anywhere all 4 seasons and mpg is better, stealth camping is way better, more obscure, less financial burden, etc. I vote #teamsubaru🩷 Keep on keeping on, I love watching your videos, so cool & fun! I plan to do the same next year after my youngest graduates HS. 😉🙌🏼
You have really good points, especially with the capability of a Subaru. These are just some thoughts I've been having, not making any changes anytime soon.
No hot shower.
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS YOU ❤ thanks for sharing, I feel the same way in life and only after surrender and letting in the LORD GOD, Jesus Christ met me in my wilderness and drowning in cares of the world, only after that did I start being,my actual self. My authentic self before knowing Jesus was selfish and I bought the lie of the devil saying live YOUR best life, live for YOUR dreams, you can't help others if you don't help YOURSELF...etc. you're beautiful sister. Jesus the face of GOD who knit you together in your mother's womb for a glorious purpose and you are not an accident you are not what the world says you are not buying into what the world says I can see in your eyes and heart that God is trying to show you the world is selfish and he wants better for you. I love you so much I went through very similar things almost died trying to follow the self love movement and after giving GOD glory he gave me purpose peace joy and true love in him resting in his grace mercy and compassion. He wants you to give him your problems and watch him work in your life. We don't have to do it ourselves we weren't created to do it ourselves. Praying for you. GOD is good and wants to show you he loves you. He is the true light and love that the world is trying to achieve in their own ways. I hope you pray about it and ask him to show himself to you in a way you can understand. ❤❤❤
I love it all!! Great job.
Did you enhance your suspension in your car to accommodate the extra weight? I did not and ruined my tires, they wore out on the inside because the weight bugged down the suspension, which was not stiff enough.
I haven't upgraded my suspension but it's my plan to get it looked at soon.
Love you and praying for you! I would keep keys on me and if anything is suspicious get in the car lock up and leave stuff out. Make it known your in your safe place and ready to leave your stuff, if any real threat I would hit the safety alarm on keys. If they don't leave, stuff outside is easier to replace. I find that knowing I'm willing to just go, I'm less worried and it probably radiates. ❤❤❤
I put a carabiner on my keys and keep them hung up to the head rest on my driver side. So many times car camping your keys will fall between the seats or get lost in the back. If you are out camping and loose your keys out in nature, your screwed. My car starts with a fab so as long as the keys are in the car, the car will start. They also hang over my bed area. So locking the car is an easy one step at night.
❤❤❤❤.....
Thanks for the storage box info. I went to target and picked them up today. I have been looking for a solution to fill the gap between front and backseat for months it's perfect ❤
Do you not sleep on the bamboo side of your mattress?
Thanks for this very informative tour! The video shows your folding table at 38.5 inches on each side, but the link goes to a table at 34 inches on each side. Can you clarify which size you actually use?
Great tips from your experience on the road. I also think rest stops are a good choice, you just have to use your gut feelings with them, as in any spot. I just started living out of my Xterra in Oregon a month ago and your videos have helped, thank you. Will be traveling to Idaho at the end of the month for some work and then who knows, but I kinda love the unknown. Happy travels!
Stunning mountain walk! Oregon used to have the best rest areas. Are they still clean and well maintained?
Ah, yeah! Adventures of car camping up I-5! Love the Whidbey Island pullover! My backyard! I used to like to stop at the restaurant at Pollard Flat. (MP 712N) But they closed a number of years ago.... May have been due to a forest fire that went thru there... Take care out there!!

Oh wow!!! 🤩 How are you?? 🥰👏👏 I didn’t recognize you and your new TH-cam channel name!! I will definitely check out your other videos that I haven’t seen. I wish you well and thanks for sharing your WONDERFUL content!!🍋🌿🍓🌿🍓🌿🍋
What a view
I'm with you on everything you've said, and actually just learned that I have a lot in common with you, except for the support from family and/or friends, which I don't have.
Omg! You and I, are in the same boat😢
That bear was super cute!! Lol 😂 Awesome trip and views. Now I want to visit that place after watching your video 😝
I'm excited for you! You definitely live the adventure life that I've always wanted to live, but now am too old, lol. So I'll live vicariously through you 😝 Thanks for taking us along for the ride 🌺
Love how clean and organized you have things.
I tried to watch this...but the monotone is too much
Idc 🤷🏼♀️
Good luck, happy to be like number 1000. 😊
One thing I have to say… You have an expensive taste and you have also a very classy style for a nomad. Many van dwellers or car dwellers that I’ve seeing thus far, have a messy multiple colors tacky style but you are different and that is why I love your channel. You are brave, truly adventurous and a beautiful personality. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Aww thanks! Unfortunately, I do have expensive taste. 🤦🏼♀️ ha!
@@nomadunknown4766 It’s an awesome thing to have a great taste😂
The Eastern/South Sierras are awesome. Can't wait to get back. Boo boo was definitely not aggressive, just checking things out. Great handling of the encounter! Had one on trail where it was a little harder to convince it to leave.. lol! But the encounters are always pretty exciting. Well done. 🙌
I would have stopped him the moment he touched my luggage. Who cares if other campers can see you while you are recording. You are missing out recording yourself while you have a beautiful background for your audience to enjoy while they listen to you😊
I hear ya! I also don’t want to make others feel uncomfortable that they are possibly being recorded. I just try to conscientious and discreet. Thanks for watching!
Worry solves no problems. What worry is....a sustained type of fear...usually caused by indecision. Be informed and be prepared and practice good decision making...that is sound advice for any situation.
