I can appreciate the realness of this video. Not the stereotypical couple in their $150k supped up van. Respect for not letting fear stop you from doing what you love. Keep up the good work!
Man, I really hope this channel blows up. The world needs more REAL people that are vulnerable and not pretending to be anything. Being this transparent with your feelings helps others (like me) feel like we are not alone. "A burden shared is a burden halved".
Thank you Miss Clarke for filming the correct way to be a positive camper, leaving the site better than you found it even if the pervious campers were litter bugs, I thank you and I have a tremendous amount of respect for you for not allowing the "boneheads" in life (and in gas station parking lots) to derail your journey...Stay safe always and keep creating fantastic content!
Hi Megan... a little suggestion re cleaning your dishes...take a spray bottle, add a amount of regular vinegar to water, and instead of using lots of water just spray your plates or whatever and wipe over with damp sponge or cloth. Keep having fun and enjoy your adventures. Cheers from Australia.
Hey Megan, I just fell upon your clips as I was thinking about putting a camper top on my small truck or whatever they call em -- and I thought I would take myself and my dog out to the desert and maybe try to get out of the city and experience the quiet; then I thought about making the back of the truck like more realistic to veg in; so your video here was so positive; you're funny and have a great heart -- thanks for posting this -- bfn😁🙏
I rarely feel lonely. I enjoy people, but I appreciate being alone. All too often, I feel the loneliest in a crowd. Here is to never feeling lonely, regardless if you are alone or with others. I love the score to your adventure. Upbeat with a touch of melancholy. Sending good thoughts, positive energy and groovy vibe!
I instantly fell in love with your setup. You sound & look like my sister...😀. I subscribed.... happy camping....we lost her 5 years ago . ..i miss her so much . 😬😅à😅😅
You know, hearing you mention loneliness and being alone as pretty much interchangeable made me think of working in NYC surrounded by people but not talking to them and feeling terribly lonely and also backpacking for days without seeing anyone but never feeling lonely. I think which way you see being alone versus being lonely depends on how comfortable you are with your life at the time or how easy it is to generate your own happiness/ gratitude.
Good to see you! Wipe pots, pans, containers free of food with paper towel before washing them - then burn the towels. Saves water and mess. Happy New Year! 😊 Ontario
It was fun to watch your adventures, I recognize so much: Terwilliger Hot Springs, Salt Creek Falls, Silver Falls State Park… I understand the dichotomy of feeling the loneliness while traveling and also loving where you’re at and being completely satisfied with being alone 🤣 And looking forward to being home again while also enjoying the adventure! Always enjoy your content, keep trekking! 🫶
2:18 I got deja vu when I saw that first dispersed site you showed; I was there back in October. That whole area is beautiful and though the allowed dispersed area is only a small section of the reservoir, it's quite peaceful. There's another hot spring just 10 miles up the highway that costs $10 less to use (free). But it's too cold currently, during winter.
Do your thing. I was on the road for three months this year. Met so many people that were super nice. It was just sad to see all the homeless and so many communities in poverty. Enjoy your peace.
as a youth i loved the woods, you know being in nature. that feeling i dont think was loneliness but an awe of being so close to nature. way before i had a smarphone..great video ty ☕😀
Cool video, love the waterfalls ! When I was your age, I felt loneliness for various reasons, and as you already know, the feelings come and go. Our brains are so amazing, so complex.....why do we get into a funk, and during that time, cannot see a way out ? Other times we are on a high, and nothing can bring us down. These days I'm most-happy in nature, and I understand why, as per having listened to Eckhart Tolle and becoming present. Cycling, gravel and mountain biking, I love doing solo, but hiking, I love doin g with my dogs....alone, hiking would get a little lonely 🙂
Hi from Massachusetts ✌🏻 This video came up in my feed, thank you for sharing, I subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos! I just started making videos last year, long story short I'm 40 and spent a majority of my life numbing my senses. Last winter was a changing point for me, not sure why but it happened. Have a blessed day and safe journey! Edit: I always am commenting before watching a video in its entirety and have to come back and add. "Unchecked loneliness" I think its a fear of the unknown. I hope you don't take this negatively but I see you as someone thats very meticulous and organized. Right down to the time you allowed for this journey/project and now its coming to an end its bittersweet. Its like "whats next?" I admire your initiative to make a goal, save for it and put a plan in action to achieve that goal. I know I'm rambling now, so I will leave you with this, live in the moment, not for the moment, trust your gut, and keep sharing this amazing journey you are on! ✌🏻🕉⛈️♾️
Orange peels as a sponge is a naturally good, minimalist way to help cut through grease. You can always add a lil baking soda too with the peel, especially if ya do have hot water. Natural and it smells good.
@@billywatts4689 the point is to be minimalist and as natural as possible while saving money and not loading up your vehicle with more gallons of stuff
Your videos have been encouraging to go forward with what I've been wanting to do for a while. To be free and enjoy life/nature to the fullest without the pressures of society seems amazing. Also you don't sugar coat things which makes your videos even better ❤
Great video Megan. I love hiking to nice places of interests as well. Your adventures are always going on every moment in a day while living in your van. I respect you for that. Don't feel lonely Megan, you know you got us for your support.👍🥰
OMG Megan gorgeous waterfall, I love your down to earth / realness, liked and subbed! Great advice about solitude awareness while solo traveling I’m about to embark on a solo journey too. PLEASE don’t keep your back turned while filling water etc, better to face outward to your surroundings and strangers. Really enjoying this thx pls keep sharing :) ✌️
When you have a pan with all that stuff stuck to it, put 1/2" of water in it and boil the water while in the pan. It'll come right off. But don't burn yourself.
Megan, it breaks my heart that you have to endure that. It is good to know that you keep aware of your surroundings and those that are there. Thank you for sharing your excursions with us!
@@MeganClaarke But when women do it to men it's ok... Truth be told you're not attractive. I think you're doing exactly the same thing as the gym thots do when they accuse innocent bystanders of stalking them. You need to get a life.
Hi, from Michigan 🌿 I enjoyed this video and your music selection. Satisfying my taste buds and visual surroundings makes for a very happy time for me too.
It takes so long for most people to realize loneliness is not a bad thing! It’s just a feeling! A normal realization of what you are experiencing! Loneliness just is. You can change it, if you want but I find I enjoy my loneliness so much! Native Oregonian here, writing from my coastal home.
I like your videos, I believe loneliness is not a good thing, we need to have people to share our thoughts and experiences with, doesn’t mean no one can be lonely. But just my personal opinion. If you ever make it to Idaho , I will be glad to meet you in person and show you around, there’s so many beautiful places here in Idaho. Good luck and stay safe
Absolutely beautiful area I love the waterfalls and those hotsprings. I had to laugh about hiding from the people as I sometimes do the same thing. Haha. Thanks for sharing. God bless, stay safe
Keep safe, that's important dehydration is not cool please make sure you try not to do that while driving you could pass out. Xxx Enjoy your adventures. God is with you 🙏
Good job! I tried living in my van in 2015 while still working full time in Portland, Or. Lasted 3 months until winter hit. People don't know how complicated it all is until you try it. Highs and lows. I felt very vulnerable sleeping in cities with people walking by talking late at night. Camping is enough for me now but I might try this lifestyle again at some point in the future depending where/how I work. You have good instincts be stay aware, but not afraid. Much luck to you on the road!
Cleaning with a paper towel and then spraying dishes with white vinegar and letting it sit a few minutes will save you a ton of water. It's what I do and I've never had an issue with bacteria. I also wash my clothes with vinegar and baking soda. Works great!
I just found your videos and i really like them! I like how real it is and how you talk about these feelings! Keep it up! Maybe you can go to conventions or van get-togethers to find people that like traveling and maybe find a travel buddy if you want or if you or they are traveling through each others state one day
You could spell less water when you wash dishes vinegar. Two cups of vinegar in a spray can should do the job for a while. Dry the dishes with a paper cloth and job done! 😉
at home i wash my dishes by hand also , but i leave them to soak in a bucket of boiling soapy water first then just rinse clean that is if i was lazy and didnt do the dishes right after cooking and the food dried on them. also - a hack for doing italian night. only use one pot for the entire meal, and then use boiling water on the pot. everything else utensils etc can all be paper and disposable. save your disposable paper plates etc specifically for meals that come with additonal clean up or are difficult to clean when water is limited.
Spend a couple days at a regular campground,All the people there will be happy because everyone is happy when they are camping,You will pick up on that vibe and will have no choice but to be happy
hi loved this vid, and have read some of the comments... just want to add my 5 cents worth.. I use 2 spray bottles for dishes, one water and one vinegar/water.. spray and rinse, dry with paper towels...and nothing says you can't eat your meal out of the pot/pan you cooked it in....also $20 blue diamond frying pan from walmart is stick free, wipe with paper towel, no pfas...solar shower bag holds plenty of water and is perfect for travel, heat in the sun all day, feels so good... lastly don't know if you have them where you are but cracker barrel restaurants are a great place to park overnight.. usually other campers there.. I eat dinner, sleep, eat breakfast so it's a win-win for both of us... good luck to you
Hey Megan Little tip for greasy tupperware, dishes or pots just add some baking soda, with droplets of water, shake if lidded, set aside and wipe off. = ) loved the adventure in this video. You seem really down to earth. One new sub. added 💟
Just a tip, use your pasta dish to catch the water you are rinsing the other dishes. Add soap to it, that way you are soaking the pasta sauce as you clean, it will come off the plastic easier. It’s nice to see a real life video of vehicle camping.
Hello. Camping Mama here. Fry your sausage.first. Use the oil to flavor and fry Hashbrowns next. You'll probably need to add a little oil or butter. Then more oil pr butter fry egs last. 🎉
Dish trick next time use baby wipes to get the grease and yucky stuff then you can use Vinegar. Most dishes can be done using Vinegar. Cool set up you have reminds me of my SUV days now I'm in a minivan.
Hi Megan I just watched your first video. What I do is I put water in the pan and let it sit while you're eating. It's much easier to clean up.. give that a try and let me know. K. California here😊
Wipe your marinara container with a napkin or paper towel first. You won't kill your sponge and won't need excessive water. The napkin will grab all that grease. Hope that may help!
BTW Megan (lonely - don’t despair), there are traveling communities with like minded solo travelers and events and get togethers w overlanders and van lifers etc. Just gotta find those events and peeps in between. Then other bouts of being alone on the road its part of the journey but it’s not always lonely like that. ✌️
Next time you go out if it is possible, take some tarps and put them on the bottom of your Van to keep the wincho from freezing. You're a pipe. That should help just a little bit.❤
First vid of yours. Awesome real Chanel 👍🏼. I’ve been thinking about the exact sink set up in my van. Awesome to see your set up! Appreciate all the hard work. Definitely take care of yourself being a solo female 💪🏼.
Beautiful Hot Springs. I have never been to one, but after seeing them on all the videos, I am intrigued. lol Why did you decide to travel? I admire your courage to do it being a solo female. Awesome! I'm new here, so it may have been in one of your earlier videos. It has been interesting to me that the young and old travel. I have my Ram Promaster already, but haven't made the plunge yet.
Natural hot springs are so cool! Hmm, seeing new and beautiful places is wonderful but most of all - I have enjoyed the challenges that travel can bring. It usually sends me out of my comfort zone and I find myself gaining more evidence of what I am capable of. It’s a good way to boost confidence. 😄 I wonder how an older person might answer that question!
@@MeganClaarke same reply from this 72 yo solo lady who hopes to travel long distances soon.. I have always thought being alone was okay... you run into enough like minded people traveling and that's usually enough..my longest time away from home so far was about 4 weeks and I loved it.. took a while to get used to the quiet but being in nature resolved that feeling
I thought that was mt hood I am from west Linn ore. Out side of Portland .got tired of the politics in Oregon so now I live in Tucson, Arizona about 20 miles south in Green Valley, Arizona. Good luck to you Oregon Oregon is beautiful. W
Happy to have found your channel. Just subscribed! I look forward to watching your future videos. I’m curious, where is your Fiance when you are travelling?
Hi Megan ✨🥰✨🤗🤗 you handle that situation well. Why can’t some people clean up their mess. Try the Dawn spray & wash detergent. I recommend use a hot pot for hot water. You are so amazing ✨💪🏼✨💪🏼✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I enjoyed the background music 🫶🕉️thank you for sharing I appreciate you
I can appreciate the realness of this video. Not the stereotypical couple in their $150k supped up van. Respect for not letting fear stop you from doing what you love. Keep up the good work!
So what if someone can afford 150k motorhome !
@@rachelkelly7117 Then good for them.

Hey Megan
Little tip for greasy tupperware, dishes or pots just add some baking soda, with droplets of water, shake if lidded, set aside and wipe off. = ) loved the adventure in this video. You seem really down to earth. One new sub. added 💟
Orange peals along with the baking soda is key, especially for grease.

Try washing your dishes where you get water and then filling up again before you leave. ;)

I have always thought being alone was okay... you run into enough like minded people traveling and that's usually enough..my longest time away from home so far was about 4 weeks and I loved it.. took a while to get used to the quiet but being in nature resolved that feeling
I am always alone but never lonely🙏
I thought that was mt hood I am from west Linn ore. Out side of Portland .got tired of the politics in Oregon so now I live in Tucson, Arizona about 20 miles south in Green Valley, Arizona. Good luck to you Oregon Oregon is beautiful.

Amazing place..beautiful..wow
Hi Megan ✨🥰✨🤗🤗 you handle that situation well. Why can’t some people clean up their mess. Try the Dawn spray & wash detergent. I recommend use a hot pot for hot water. You are so amazing ✨💪🏼✨💪🏼✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I enjoyed the background music 🫶🕉️thank you for sharing I appreciate you
Glad you enjoyed the music! Too bad people leave their trash behind, but I do my best to leave it better than how I found it ☺️
Like your music. Pans aren’t hard to clean. You would be amazed how ashes from a put out campfire and a little water can do.
Ashes... fascinating technique!! Glad you enjoyed the music. It's an important part of the videos for me :)
To be fair those jean shorts looked painted on and your body looks amazing. Glad that guy was only mildly annoying!
Greetings from Canada!
Fellow Canadian!
