I live in the High Sierras and hike/camp alone as a 60 plus woman. The biggest challenge is not bears, bathroom or getting lost etc but people trying to scare me off my trips with comments like "you're going to be raped or killed" I enjoy life because it's short. Bears can smell up to a 20 mile radius.
I do well alone too! I have a very serious boyfriend but after my divorce, and prior to him, I lived alone and did pretty much everything by myself. I still enjoy doing things solo.
You’re so inspiring. I’ve followed your reselling journey on your other channel as a reseller myself. Love hearing your thoughts on traveling alone and seeing how you take yourself on mini adventures! 😊
Thanks for sharing this video and your travels. Now that the pandemic is winding down, I'm hoping to get back to some solo travel again. You've inspired me to start making some plans!
I totally agree on not using a gun on a bear! I live in northern Wisconsin and was charged 60 yards by a black bear. To stop the charge I had to run towards the bear screaming and waving my arms. 99% of bears want nothing to do with you. There was no time to pull my gun and the caliber was not big enough to make a difference. The bear veered off into the woods and followed me back 1/2 mile to my jeep, but I was able to stop the charge. Again, like you mentioned, it was at dusk and they have bad sight and it was during hunting season. I think that bear had a long day and was done with humans lol. I've been in the woods for 50 years. First time I had a problem with any animal.
You just described my worse nightmare. I just went tent camping for the first time and thought I was pretty badass for scaring off a racoon😅 but damn...I don't know If I could scare a whole bear
@@eddiern In the moment I wasn't scared, but I had 3 dogs with me and I was focused on protecting them, but after it was all over, I was shook up. But...it's good to know that confronting the bear worked and it's given me a little bit of confidence and knowledge. :)
I love that you do this!! I had no idea you had this channel, I usually watch your reselling content. cant wait to see more of these videos this is totally up my alley !
I asked the pros and cons question. Sorry I should have been more specific but you answered it, thank you! I feel inspired by your lone adventures. I think too often as women we are lead to believe that we need someone else to feel empowered to be adventurous but you are proof that is not the case. I can also imagine that having Luna with you certainly enhances your experiences 😊
Life is to short to be afraid I believe in destiny therefore I am not afraid of what I can’t control . I just live and let god decide when it is my time to go.
It is good that you don't watch crime videos. Don't watch national park missing persons videos either ;). Perhaps that is why I worry for you 🙂. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders though.
Hi, I like very much your videos. I have a question : How do you connect to the Internet during your road trip or camping? It's the only concern I have because I would like to work and travel at the same time. Thank you.
There are quite a few apps out there to find free or paid camping. I am going on a month long road trip here in about 6 weeks and I am using these apps. The information is out there, just gotta know where to find it.
I have 4 apps on my phone, but they just are as helpful in certain areas. Yes, there is info, but there are a lot of great free spots that aren’t online 🤷♀️
A dog is you best option for safety in my opinion . I travel with mine and he alerts me to everything ! Keep safe and keep the videos coming 😀
Totally agree and being alone is not the same thing as being lonely.
Nor does it mean we don't really like people. We're just comfortable being alone.
I have really enjoyed seeing so many different parts of California in your videos.

Great Q & A, Courtney!! Loved your candor! Hope you and Luna had a great hike!
I am not a camper but I love your videos. The scenery that I have seen on your videos and seeing how you camp is very interesting.
Hi Courtney, Thanks for all the info! Cheers Pat
Well technically your not alone , LunaBear is always with you 😀
beach videos are great wherever you go with Luna dog you are happy🐶 ⛺️

I binge watched all of your latest vlogs the other day. The video quality was fantastic. 😍 I really enjoyed them!
Aww, thank you 🤗
Thanks for sharing.
I’ll always be worried about my friend no matter what shows I do or don’t watch😭😂😘

Do u run into a lot of solo travelers?
Would u consider yourself an introvert?
Im.watching you now in BC Canada.

WHAT? Screw Yosemite for not allowing bear spray!
It’s not a big deal to me 🤷♀️
@@citygirlunplugged I’m from CA and CO. I’ve had mountain lions track me. Bear spray ain’t just for bears:))
At first thought you said HAIR SPRAY😜😜

Do you ever use heater or AC in car while you are sleeping?
Have u ever considered alaska highway? My bucket list
I’m a weekend camper, so that is a bit far.
To add extra income while you are traveling you should vacation rental your home while your out traveling
Not going to be something I do, but definitely a good suggestion for other campers! 👍
Good information 👍 Is your suv comfortable to drive? Mine is so uncomfortable 😫
It is to me, but I don’t think any of my vehicles have been uncomfortable 🤷♀️
Awwww.....I think I was the one that made the loner comment....sorry...I didn’t mean for it to be a negative remark I didn’t mean to offend🥺🥺🥺😢😢
