    All my videos are filmed using my iPhone 13 Pro Max and edited on CapCut app’.
    For those that don’t know me I was popular on TH-cam despite only having my channel for just 8 months.
    I had over 540 videos nearly 1 million watched hours, several thousand subscribers and was gifted products to review from companies.
    Unfortunately in April 2024 I felt compelled to take it down due to my personal safety was compromised.
    However since then safety measures have now been put in place allowing me back on TH-cam.

    Hi Darlins, this is uncanny - like a mirror of my own life currently - very similar situation - understand everything you’re both saying - wonderful video. Thank you for sharing and being so open and honest with each other and with us all. Very much appreciated. God bless and best regards from Auckland New Zealand.

    I went to France and Switzerland last year in my van alone! When I was sat by a beautiful lake, I was looking in mountains in Switzerland. There was a couple taking pictures and enjoying the scenery and creating memories together! Every day since then until now I honestly wish I can find someone to share those memories with in the future.

    80 this yr. I enjoy my own space. But miss my wife
    Died 3yrs ago. What I miss a lot is something you brought up
    When there's something you're enjoying. Much more pleasurable if someone to share it with
    Ive joined a camping club for singles which has really helped me.

    I understand you exactly ! You are alone but not lonesome. Many people can not do that ! I am alone for 10 years now, I have a Border Collie as a best friend, and I love it. I can do what I want, I can take my van and go if I want in the middle of the night. The only thing is doing things with a other person is ( mostly ) more fun.
    People like us need the solo times, not for a day or a week, but mostly longer.....
    The biggest problem is that people try to change the other person, and that does not work !! Let people be themselves

    Beginning is everything "wow" but later on reality begins......
    Thats why i see a lot of people stay in a marriage or relationship but have a double live....i dont trust it.
    And no, not every individual is the same, but and of the road its all the same shit .... cost only money, time, energy .....
    I have more peace, power, happyness, freedom and time to reflect and work on myself and enjoy life....not stuck in the ratrace like 90%

    I agree. Unfortunately, I had been on my own for 12-15 years. Started as a choice & circumstances. I lived off-the-grid. No cellphone reception, radio or tv. Occasionally, I will see a ship. I can't even 4wd to the main gravel road, except a dirtbike. Isolation has changed me. Hunting or fishing is my entertainment, wood chopping 😂I doubt any woman will adjust to it? It would be nice, but I love being on my own. I probably survive & thrive in an apocalypse tho 😆😂😂
