So some things you have backwards: your body doesn’t send blood to your fingers and toes to keep them warm; quite the opposite, in cold conditions it shuts down blood flow to your extremities to preserve heat in your body core and keep you from dying. I’m sure you’ve heard of frostbite - it’s the same mechanism; your body will sacrifice your extremities by shutting down blood flow (and body heat) to keep the rest you alive. The effects are magnified in water which, if I remember my survival training from my Navy flight school days correctly, removes body heat at something like ten times the rate as in air. The majority of people that went into the water from the Titanic were dead in under ten minutes, not from drowning but from hypothermia.
When you got out of the water the effect was actually momentarily worsened - while you were actually losing less heat because you were out of the water, evaporative cooling of the water on your skin made your body think that it was even colder and it started to shutdown even further, And make no mistake - you were still losing body heat, just less so, which is why you didn’t recover until you were back in the truck for a while.
Another effect of cold water immersion is something known as “involuntary gasp” - in cold-enough conditions you will, upon entering the water, inhale, and like trying to stop a sneeze there is nothing you can do to stop it. For that reason we were taught to enter the water feet first (easy if you’re still in the parachute harness) and if at all possible to keep your head from being immersed on initial water entry. Your gasping in the water, though still controllable or “voluntary” at this stage is a sign that you were edging into that zone.
Frankly, I don’t get why people think dipping in to cold - or especially ice cold - water, does any good (it doesn’t) but it certainly seems to be a thing today. You guessed wrong this time though not enough to do any real harm? But while the odds are long, someday you may guess wrong again…
Plunging into icy water causes cold shock resulting in increased heart rate, BP, gasping and hyperventilation (which can cause you to drown if you are completely submerged) as well as vascular constriction. It can also cause sudden death. I’m a nurse. You should be okay with limited plunges since you are young and have a healthy heart. But please be careful.
If you can afford storage keep your things and your memories. I could no longer afford to store my house full of memories and “ things” people called them. I had to sell and give them all away and it was so sad. Hold on to them as long as you can. You’re young someday you will settle down and those things will be waiting for you. ❤
Thank you for that advice :) I’m grateful to only have a few things, and to have found a very reasonably $20/month solution for now, making it more than worth it :)
I could not agree more. Most TH-camr content creators foster this “leave it all behind and see the world.” In reality, life is where you left it. Family, friends, restaurants, pets, possessions, community, etc.
@@SheRoamsWildvery happy that you make this effort.
So glad I am subscribed to your channel! There are only a handful, if that, of other women on here that I follow that I can truly relate to and admire for living this lifestyle. I am trying to start my journey by late spring/early summer 2024 and I've loved seeing all your adventures and real-life experiences. I'm really hoping to actually connect/meet other ladies doing this when I finally get on the road!
You’re so kind!! Congrats on hitting the road soon - I’m sure you’re going to kill it, and the community is out here and waiting for you when you’re ready to join :)
No cold plunges for me, lol. I know it’s supposed to be good for you, but I hate cold. You are tough😊❤️
So fair! It’s taken some time to work up to but I’ve been loving it lately!
I know about the confusion from freezing water.I've gone through the ice while fishing.Thought it was thick enough, it wasn't.lol.
Weve got to have a dream if we are going to make a dream come true.
Hello Alex and Tara. Well Alex you should see my van right now lol. I have a storage unit but mjne is almost 200 a month. Like you jm not ready to.part with all my stuff yet. I mean personal stuff. I sold all my furniture. Loving the scenery where you are. I love the desert.❤ Please be careful doing the cold plunges. My cardiologist and neurologist have forbid to try them. It is nit as good for you as people think and can cause some health issues. With that being said, you know your own body. The projector is awesome. Out of my price range but very cool. I would love to send you something. Is there a place I could send it to? Have a great weekend ❤ Can't wait until the next video.
Hey Alex you said you have no coverage & I assume you mean Data coverage with your phone to hot spot? That plunge was a little risky given your response ie low blood pressure & nearly passing out especially being by yourself?🥶🥺 The next campsite is much more bearable weather wise 🤗 Terra is such a lovely doggie! 🐶 Downloaded movies using projector (great product & sponsor) is amazing! 💜 🇦🇺🍻🎄🤶 PS I think Starlink should sponsor you asap as it would be perfect for more creativity as you do so well with not a lot of internet connection? 🤔
Love your videos, but I worry when you get in the frigid waters of the river 🥶 , Happy Holidays 🌲 🎅
Happy holidays!
Correct breathing is really important when stressing your body. Glad you were ok.
I've been canning for years and I have bent the rules on some things...,but that is not a safe way to can something with meat. :( Just because the jar seals does not mean the food is good. You need to pressure can it or another option is to boil the filled jars for 3 hours.
Yes!! Thank you for clarifying! This is certainly not true canning, and all jars are immediately stored in the fridge until use. It just seems to have held the stew over for longer than had it been in a bag or something. For longer term storage I would really need to up my game :)
Love your choice of music!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I was excited about the projector until...I saw the price. I am so happy for you that you got it through a sponsor...too pricey for me😢
You should be careful shocking your system like that when you are alone, could have blacked out when trying to get back to the rig!!
Love watching your videos. Look forward to them every week. You are an amazing young woman. All the best from Melbourne Australia.
Another great video! One thing I notice is your excellent and eclectic choice in music-love it!! ✌🏻💕
Thank you so much!
I think I follow just because of your real video’s ❤
Your videos keep getting better. Can't go wrong with Tara in the picture. That projector is awesome too. Cool!
It was so fun to try out, and I can’t wait to use it soon for a holiday family movie night!
Tara is living her best life … you too.
Hello from the PNW. You'll be back. 😊 Safe travels
Just subscribed recently. Enjoying your adventures. You should visit the Valley of fire and Red Rock Canyon. I have lived in the desert over 25 years. Morning is the best time to enjoy the outdoors. I used to camp outdoors by Lake Michigan during college.
Aww Shrek! A Freakin favorite also! 🎉
am here for the cold plunges....
Eres muy hermosa 💗💖💖💖 que rico conoserte
I won’t speak for others, but… I do t watch you channel for some person with a perfect, everything is great life. I watch because you present an alternative life in an entertaining way. Missing HDMI cable makes it more real to me.
You’re so kind, thank you! Just trying to keep it honest, and I definitely messed that night up😅 but, it all works out in the end!
@@SheRoamsWild and just this week I realized that I forgot to put an adapter back into my computer case which has lived there for two years. In fact, I would have to put the cable in with the projector for there to be the slightest hope I could use it the next time.
Genial excelente 👌👍😂
I think its smart that you choose to store things per season. My husband and I have switched to a more minimalist lifestyle because we are saving up to get a rig and get on the road and I have things I just love and dont wanna let go off for when we FINALLY find our forever place. So don't let any weird pressure for "what you should do" kinda feelings change what feels right in your heart.
Whenever you lead with your heart your leading with love and thats ALWAYS a beautiful thing.
And I just want to add that your videos are getting more and more beautiful and cinematic. Its just breathtaking. I plan to start us a channel when we are getting ready to get on the road. Your such a great inspiration. ❤❤❤Happy Holidays 😚❤❤❤
lets get this channel to 40k subs!!!
Love your braids. You look good with them
Happy holidays🎉Feliz navidad🍸🎇✨🎁🎄✌🏿✊🏿
When you were having a blood pressure issue, your dog knew something wasn’t right. Dogs know.
That huffing and puffing, was hot. I'm glad you were ok🫶
Thanks for sharing this journey with me. God Bless Ya'll . Safe Travels Always. Mucho Love from your friend in Michigan Tam... Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
Happy holidays Tam!
Merry Christmas 🎄😀
Hello good to see your videos we love camping.
Thanks for watching! We’re pretty big fans too :)
Your hair is nicely 👌
OMG get a hand vacuum 😂
I have one but *always* forget to charge it 😅
Your awesome 😊
Love your content. I just love how genuine you are! I'm sure you've said previously, but where did you get that orange mat you use outside all the time? TY to you or if anyone else knows the answer.
Merry Christmas Alex.
Yes love that projector,it's a whole vibe 😂also love all your content always,ty for sharing ❤😊
Alexandra you are so gorgeous and Tarra is so adorable dog and one day I hope to meet you on the road van camping
Merry Christmas!
Another great video. Thanks!
how nice your caravan, nice to live free so hello so much serenity and good adventure
Love your channel! Keep um coming
I hear Pahrump Nevada is nice this time of year 😊. And please stay out of the cold water. Now I'm cold 😅
Haha it was definitely a little chilly!
glad to be supporting you over the past year or so
You definitely keep those memories and now you won't have to re-buy. I look forward to yours and Tara's videos.
That’s the hope! Thank you so much for being here :)
Great video! Love hanging out with you ❤
Alexandria, would you be willing to share the name/brand of the orange triangular folding mat featured in this video? Please and thank you! 🙏
I absolutely LOVE your videos thank you for such wonderful content!! I understand your personal preference to being in the desert, BUT I personally love Oregon where I live and northern California (red woods) I lived in Las Vegas for 38 years and I absolutely hate the dry desert. 😝😝😝 Any chance that someday you might go to northern California to the big redwoods and do some camping? I look forward to your videos!! Keep up the great work!! Thank you!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Love watching your videos and how open and honest you are!
which video has the recipe for the lamb stew you made and canned?
Your filming is incredible!
Please be careful with this cold water dunking. If something happens to you what happens to your dog!
Thanks for the intro to the JMGO Gimbal Projector. I'll check it out this weekend. What health benefits are the cold dips supposed to produce? I enjoyed you story and videography. Thank you.
Nice
Getting in that freezing creek I think I'd faint too! You did good and much braver than me LoL!! That last blooper... Terra's adorable! I'm headed to AZ next month so hopefully I'll run into you sometime. Cheers! ~M
😅 it was certainly cold, and she’s the biggest goof haha! Hope to run into you down here sometime :)
Where is your folding table from? is it bamboo?
I love the Reno area! Just find a spot there for.your stuff. Side note, holy cow that is an expensive projector....😮
It is on the pricier side, but in the future I plan to use it as a tv/movie replacement in a home, I hope!
I am sure that their is something lightweight that u.could purchase to put up on the roof of the camper to store your stuff in.
Possibly! But I’d hate to be any taller o heavier, so a small and cheap unit for the off seasons work well for me :)
Wow the projector is super cool 😎
I absolutely love it! Can’t wait to host movie nights this winter :)
@@SheRoamsWild Merry Christmas 🎄
Sems to me that anytime you do something risky like that you would always wait till you have someone there to help if you need it. Out in the the middle of nowhere with no one arround seems to be too risky for me.
Thankfully I did have people who knew where I was, and I always have an emergency device on me to call for help if I need it! Any situation I couldn’t reasonably get myself out of, I avoid :)
I agree it's not worth the risk, especially when you have your beautiful dog relying on you. I mean even Olympian swimmers have drowned.
There is no way could I do that cold dip. But good for you
I’m sure you’re capable of so much more than you realize! But it isn’t for everyone, I’ll admit :)
😊
Love the edditing & music!
Thank you so much!
That was a long 1,000 hours of driving but nice view
It was! So glad it’s behind us now :)
Great Video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
That projector is very cool. Alas, out of bounds for my budget. Can I come meet up with you? 😆
Haha we can take it for a spin if we ever cross paths!
@@SheRoamsWild I’ll bring popcorn.
Awesome video ❤
Thanks 🤗
I'm not sure your "canning" process is safe. Especially with meat. Hope you'll research that more! Stay healthy & I really enjoy your content!
Yes thank you for this! It’s not true canning, just a better seal and still kept in the fridge until use :) I wouldn’t let these go more than 12 days or so based on how this round went. I’ll need to step it up if I wanted shelf stable goods, for sure!
@@SheRoamsWildIt's no different to cooking a big pot of soup and keeping it in the fridge for a week or so. At the right temperature it's fine. You're just portioning it and lm sure the sealing helps keep it a few more days in the fridge.
Looked very wholesome, warming and satisfying (always tastes better the next day too and the day after. . .)
Good video!
Thank you Aaron!
❤
Eres muy hermosa hablas español gracias
Last video I watched you were in Baha, now you're in Nevada. I'm confused. Don't understand your time line.
This video is older, I am still in Baja :)
My name is also Alexandria but I prefer Alex. I never go by Alexandria. I feel like I'm more Alex than I am Alexandria even though I'm both. Is that weird? lol do you feel more connected to one name more than the other?
Nice to meet you! And honestly I’m the opposite, I prefer my full name :) but, both are cool and it’s great that you know which you prefer 🧡
I'm so sorry to be "that person" but this is the first video i tried watching from your channel after MONTHS...& I'm seeing ADS EVERY 3-5 MINUTES AND IN DOUBLES (BACK TO BACK) which... I'm not opposed to ads every now then... But the first 4 i let play through & since then it's ADS EVERY few minutes 😢 it's excessive at THIS point 😞 sorry i couldn't finish this video.😢
Lol.
You are so beautiful ❤️
You never showe your bady.done I'm blocking you
Say ‘to be frank’:) instead of tbh.
Hey Alex, Awesome video as usual!!! The projector is a great addition. Does it draw alot of power from your generator?? If I did that cold plunge, my nuts would fall off and turn to marbles. That wouldn't be so great as I still need them for a while yet. Have a great week and give Terra a great big rub and scratches.
It really doesnt! The most I have seen it pull is 55W, which is nearly half of what my basic laptop uses :) Terra says thank you!

Перед тем как лезть в воду,ты должна раздеться и дать телу хорошо остыть.что бы организм не испытывал сильный шок.только в этом случае это будет полезно.если не делать это правильно ты уничтожишь сердце.будь осторожна.я русский и знаю что говорю.люблю твои видео,я хорошо говорю на английском 10 лет жил в канаде, estevan.SK.но пишу на английском с ошибками)))думаю гугл,переведет что я написал)
