One thing about you, is that you are not afraid to try out new adventures. You're an inspiration.
Love how Ethan just takes things in his stride and rolls with it great attitude. X
three important offroad rules. 1) put it in 4x4 before you think you need it. 2) air down your tires before you think you need to. 3) use low range only as a last resort when in soft sand or soil as POWER can be your enemy if you don't have a hard surface below the soft stuff as you will only dig yourself deeper. get some maxtrax boards and a good tire guage as they are a lifesaver
In one of his videos, he said the front drive isn't working ( I don't know how long ago that was, though - maybe it's fixed now - but, if it is, you'd think he would have used it )
I am so glad that everything turned out to be okay with your heart. And it's very impressive that, despite your anxiety, you face these new challenges every day.
Yeah, he's really strong guy with a positive attitude.
I've been a solo traveler for a while but I think at your age, I would have never been as brave. Great job!
Again, I'm so happy to see someone traveling with their pet(s). Thank you!
Hey Ethan! A great story this week. The sunset views were fabulous. I love your attitude. Glad to hear it’s *only* anxiety. As a former RVer I suggest you get a shovel, a trowel (like used in gardening), some of those traction boards, and maybe some cheap racks (from Amazon) for dishes, glasses, etc. so things don’t shake, fall over, or fall out of cabinets. AZ is a beautiful state. Loving all of your adventures! -G
I have PTSD, severe anxiety and severe depression, I can relate to what you are going through Ethan, stay strong, love all your videos ❤
Yes so do i..Have had Bipolar for about 30 years..life is very hard sometimes..i cant work anymore as it was too much for me.
The Deptession and Anxiety are something no one would understand unless you suffer it yourself.
Medication dosnt seem to work for me anymore..just try to get through dasy to day..tale care.
As someone who's done a lot of backroad travel, may I make a recommendation? First of all, get some doormats thick door mats. Make sure you park evenly on those secondly, carry a large bag of clay cat litter. That'll solve a lot of problems. Hope this works for you
Brought back a memory of why my grandad kept 2 old floor mats in trunk of his 80s Caprice. And rhe folding shovel.
Loving your positivity, as always, Ethan. Every great adventure will have ups and downs. Getting stuck in the sand is OK, but OMG, those bananas attacking your flowers, that’s not cool! Best of all, we now know your health is great and that’s the most important thing ❤️
Weeeellllll...if interesting things didn't happen, you wouldn't have interesting content, right?? Ha ha! Imagine how you're building your character! Sometimes when I'm watching, I recall the cute, quirky kid you were when you first started. How far you've come, yet you still have that charm and quirkiness! Just want to say I ADORE Peaches! No dog ever replaces another...Millie will always be your girl...but I'm so glad you have another furry friend to keep you company. As always, great work, lovely to see you and follow your exciting life! 💖💖💖💖💖
I have nothing but respect for you Ethan!
Seems there's always challenges but you always keep a cool head and overcome the obstacles. Glad to hear that your heart's OK and also happy to see how Peaches had adapted to traveling. She reminds me of Millie in so many ways.
Ethan I don’t know you personally but I worry about you but you seem to handle every situation. I would love to see one video from you where you don’t have a bad situation 😃! Take care of yourself!
Good to hear your heart is OK, anxiousness is always awful. Keep up the good work ❤
Love how Peaches was supporting you when you were speaking about your heart and anxiety! You can tell how tight you two are! 🐶💛
Getting stuck in the sand - or anywhere else -is stressful, yet you also were in control enough to bring us along (videoing) the event. Your adventures and misadventures, bring out your sense of humor, (or borderline panic?) which is fun and entertaining. Remember, there was no blood, no accident paper work, just a lot of dirt, you had good news at doctor, introduced us to a new in city park/camp spot, shared a few moments of self-care ;) and such a lovely view it is (for us - lol).... think it kinda balances out. As always, best wishes in all your adventures.
Your videos are like reading a really good book. You make it feel like we are there with you. Your awesome!
A silver lining to all your misfortunes, it gives you content for you videos. Love you
shower scene was wonderful!!!! 💓💓💓
I'm willing to bet that all of these things you face on your travels actually help you with your anxiety. You're a great story teller! Keep them coming.
at 11:36 the party lights in the back while cleaning up the camper LMAO
I know 😂
@ethantravels 🌄Hi Ethan! Why don't you have a small shovel in your camper? Living outdoors it would come in handy. ❤🔥That sunset was amazing!🌇
Dealing with anxiety sucks. I used to worry about everything. A couple of things I learned to do was expect things to work out in the process of doing things. I was worrying about what might happen and quite often it didn't happen so I worried for nothing. When something happened and it at first seemed overwhelming I got the attitude to say I wonder how I'm going to get out of this problem.
I was a truck driver for over 40 years so I am sure I had my share of mishaps. On one of my very first trips I went to Memphis TN. I didn't know where the terminal was so I asked another driver. He thought it would be funny to give me bad directions. I got totally lost at 2 AM in the city. I stopped at a red light and this man got out of his car in front of me and asked if I was lost. He then had me follow him right to the terminal.
Another time I was picking this special trailer up at Camp Pendelton in California. I even had a security escort. It was a Friday evening right at 5 PM. I broke down right in Camp Pendelton. Friday Night at 5 PM is actually the worst time for a trucker to break down. I called my company and they just happened to have another driver just a few miles away to retrieve the trailers the security guy was not delayed hardly at all. Then the security guy told me they had used a wrecker truck when they brought the trailer in because the guy bringing it in got stuck in the sand. I called the guy and believe it or not he was just coming up to the exit as we spoke so he towed me to a repair facility and he charged me only $147. I was expecting three times that much. Then I told the facility the repair should be covered under warranty and they said it wasn't so I had to come up with $3500. I got the money and finally got a load home where I talked to my truck dealer and he checked and it was covered under warranty and I got all my money back.
Sometimes if I am really worried about something and I can't sleep I pray and give the problem to a higher power. I can not explain how that works but there are a lot of things that I do not understand but it does. The right people pop up out of nowhere or an unexpected check shows up in the mail. It has happened so many times it can't be a coincidence. Just make sure you are always trying to do the right thing and be a good person. That is kind of the key when it comes to divine help.
Legit you have become one of my favorites on youtube.
Great video Ethan. By sharing your mishaps and successes you help us have more enjoyable camping adventures. Get a small foldable camping shovel and save your hands. There is often broken glass hidden in the sand along the roads in that area of the U.S. 😊
It's crazy how when someone suffers from Anxiety people just say, "awe, it's okay just get over it" "Breath" "Just say fuck it" that one came from a DOCTOR!!!! Please, when anxiety hits, it hits hard!!! I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. You seem like a level headed man. Hopefully, you're able to get meds that will help you through. This anxiety issue with you changes everything. I feel closer to you than ever!!!! My son and I both have to deal with this. It's no fun at all. Ethan, your videos help me. In more ways than you'll ever know. I don't have a lot of money right now, but soon...I'll cash app you some momey so you can continue making videos for all of us who appreciate what you do. I love you man. I really do. Hello from beautiful Tulsa, OK
Health anxiety is the worst. Thanks for sharing, Ethan. I really enjoy your channel. Please keep being you!
An Ethan video ALWAYS brightens up my day. ❤❤❤
Whatever happens Peaches will be right there with you. Thanks for the update better luck in the future.
You manage pretty well to keep the anxiety attacks out of the videos, but thanks for sharing. It's great saying it to help others who have to deal with all that!
We love seeing your videos and appreciate you sharing your travels with us. And yeah… we get anxious sometimes too (watching your vids 😂). Stay safe ! 😘
So Ethan...you know those "blocks" you put under your tires to level your truck? They are called TRAX Boards. They are made to shove under your tires when you get stuck to give you a solid surface to drive out of the hole. So you'll know next time.
I really get inspiration by seeing your resilience. And you are probably right to say that most people have generalized anxiety disorder to some extent. I am probably an example, and truly am inspired by how you handle it.
Your openness about your anxiety is refreshing and inspiring...live with it daily and have learned to self-talk myself a bit like a good father would calm his good son. Love you Ethan!
Sorry you had trouble on the side of the road but glad you had someone that could help you out. BTW, I hope you can share with us more about your friendships/relationships at some point. It's just great getting to know you better.
Glad you always try and keep positive. Love ya Ethan ❤
Haa, glad you got through the day okay and got good news from your doctor!
I loved when you went to get your camera and Peaches shoots out in the distance behind you. I love watching your adventures and ability to solve any problem.
“My flowers were attacked by my bananas” 😂
Always entertaining, yet informative... especially when one has had a bad day themselves and needs to decompress. Thank you for that opportunity!
Noted. Traction thingies and all-wheel drive. Got it. (Maxtrax? I'll look it up.)
Also, thank you for supporting cancer research. It was due to fairly recent research at the time that I managed to survive cancer (and the aggressive chemotherapy). My beloved aunt died of metastatic breast cancer only a year before therapy that might have prolonged her life significantly became generally available. Research performed saved lives, and the sooner, the better.
Your perseverance is an Inspiration Ethan !
Everyone is impressed by your resilience and determination and creativity. You are truly one-of-a-kind. ❤
You're so cute! Great wishes in the days ahead. Keep sharing as you do. Much love to your puppy as well. What a cute pooch!
Great video, Ethan!! Sorry you had such a rough day, but you made it through it!! 👍👍👍
Ethan, DUDE, DO you KNOW how much of a STUD You are? EVERYTHING that happens to You is making You MORE SELF-CONFIDENT and WISER !!
I've learned how much that SELF-CONFIDENCE counteracts My own ANXIETY, MAKING ME STRONGER dealing with Life's Potholes and My own MISTAKES !!
Keep STAYING STRONG, LEARNING, CHILLING and BEING YOUR BEST !!
Matt Bauer
Just watched your espisode responding to viewer comments......MY POV having stumbled upon your show unexpectedly.
I HONESTLY think you have an understated CHARM and find you AMUSING AF without trying to be. YOUR channel at LEAST HAS CONTENT I enjoy, where as 60 % of channels just show a body part and I'm LIKE OK.... NOW WHAT....
The Fact that you're traveleing and sharing your experiences is ALOT more than what 1/2 the young adults your age are doing. YOUR SOUL and Character are EVOLVING beyond belief as well as self-reliance, that my FRIEND is VERY Inspiring and ATTRACTIVE!!
Keep it UP... I absolutely love your VIDEOS!
My first time traveling across country was from Cape Cod Massachusetts to Arizona. In Colorado I parked overnight at old mine. It started raining, I awoke in a panicked (there’s a back story), when backing up to turn around got stuck in a ditch and my van at 45 degree angle-had to slept that way. It cost me $300 to get towed out. The tow guy was awesome. He offered me breakfast, introduced me to his family, and his three horse. Later a farrier arrived to shoe the three horses (my $300 well spent). I asked If I could stay to watch. By the third horse the farrier asked me if I wanted to help. ‘Sure!’ “Just talk to the horse while I work.” Twenty minutes past, he turned to me and asks, “What are you doing?” Somewhat defensive I replied, ‘Just talking to the horse, why.” (This part always stirs up my emotions) He say, “This horse is the hardest of the three to shoe, it usually takes me over an hour. I’ve already shoes three hoofs. Whatever you’re doing keep doing it.” What a rush. I went from feeling like an idiot because when I got stuck to I’m now a horse whisper. Closing tip; When your tire gets stuck like that cut mesquite branches (mature trees only) and stuff them under the tire. Worked for me. Peace!
Ethan, glad your health is good.
Hey! I'm anxious too. I once woke up in the middle of the night with certainty that I was having a heart episode. But, luckily, earlier in that same week I had myself checked by a cardiologist who said I was with a healthy heart. So I knew it was anxiety. I know exactly how it feels. Good to know that you are getting help. It sounds "silly" when one tells it, but it's not a good thing to go through. Best of luck, Ethan! ❤
Glad your heart's okay. Love your very real videos.
You handled all the stress of the day extremely well Ethan. Proud of you! ❤
You gotta love this guy's personality.
Ethan, use your 4x4 drive, make sure the front hubs are in "Auto" and just leave them there, it won't hurt it to stay locked in, then just engage the system from the cab. You are better to turn on anytime to you think you may need it then to wait until your stuck and then try to use it to get out, an power is your friend, your truck has lots of power, but if you are spinning your rear wheels you are just digging holes.
I love it when you are honest with what life is actually like on the road.
I'm really glad your health is good, Ethan. I have horrible anxiety as well, and it's no fun at all. Somehow, you always seem to have a positive attitude, though. That's so awesome! Give Peaches a big kiss 🐕❤
Ethan. I love your personality, mannerisms,and the way you express yourself. I thumbs up all your videos. And i dont thumbs up them because of misfortunes you have ! Theres been so many times, like when you locked yourself out of the truck, i wish i was there just to give you a hug. Im sure many of your fans do too. Thank you for sharing your lifes adventures with us. Youre awesome.
Welcome to the club, I have GAD for many years. And it also manifests in so many different psychosomatic ways (mainly in my heart and stomach, I repeated ECG and heart monitor many times only to hear that my heart is generally fine :). It’s terrible disease, but livable and thankfully treatable. Wishing you luck! And I recommend you one book: The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook. I heart it is the best. I’m from Poland so I just bought translated version and am planning to read it soon.
You are an inspiration to me. I’m traveling to Central America for a month soon. Love your videos. Stay safe!
You make me smile. All things you have done, problems you have and get through, such an amazing and exceptionally talented guy. Great looking and youre very easy to listen to and watch. Keep going and being you. We all enjoy.❤
You are kind, adorable and fun! Love the adventure
It’s great to see that you share the fact you have anxiety. In fact most have it to a degree in one way or another. We just have different ways of dealing with it and how much of it we show others. That’s it’s not a tabu is important. If it was up to me it would not be any different than any other condition that someone have to live with - it just is, and nothing to be ashamed about.
Stuff happens, and you handled it all so well!
You are always so positive no matter what happens Thank you for sharing your adventures
Ethan, I am glad your Doctor appointment went well.
Found your channel a few weeks ago and checked some videos. It's hard to believe you started all of this around 18-19 and during the beginning of covid, you've been to so many places.
I wish we'd been friends so I could travel with you. Glad there are no heart issues! I can't wait to see where you go to this year!
In Texas we have traction boards, it's called plywood.
I'm glad you're OK. I know what you mean by the effects of anxiety. I've been dealing with that for the past 30 years. Not fun! Thanks for the great video.
The unexpected mountains behind the hill were just spectacular. Wow. Really glad you saw them and the colors of the place are something to take in. The rabbits were a cool surprise , too. Thanks for noticing them. Each time a challenge occurs, you figure it out and you always will. The great thing is tat you do it solo, and of course these are new things each time, so it's a learning curve. Take stock in the knowledge that you are always able to get through it. When something comes up, take a few minutes to focus, but in a calm, zen way. You'll be less stressed as you get better at the game, but do a "I've got this even though I don't know how" inner look before you tackle it. "Ive got this."
Sending good vibes your way to counteract the bad.
Happy birthday Ethan 🎂 that was pretty nice that lady brought you some food and the view of the fog in the mountains was beautiful I envy you seeing all the beautiful sites you are seeing and thanks for sharing your adventures with us till next time be safe and take care ❣️🤠
wrong video
The more difficult the journey, the longer it will be remembered! Boy, you're great!
The flowers were assaulted by the banana *LOL*
Glad you got everything straightened out!
Thanks for continuing to share your adventures!
Ethan I love the way you handle adverse situations and handle problems with a great attitude. I just love watching you and your adventures.
I'm glad your heart is healthy. I'm sure the anxiety of worrying about your heart didn't help. Wishing you a really, really good day!
I'm glad your heart checked out ok.
Ethan, don't be anxious, you're a star! 🎉🎉🎉
Ethan you are an awesome human! I have anxiety as well and also see a Dr for it.... you are not alone. All these challenges you face on the daily you overcome with such an amazing attitude! I heard once...."you've survived every worst day you've ever had" or something like that lol. Keep being a champion and I'll keep rooting for you :) I'm a vanlifer in the midwest and enjoy every second of it. I don't full time in my van but I get out in it every second I'm afforded. I have a 2023 Coachmen Beyond 22D Li3 White w/white cabinets (just incase you wanna look it up). Keep being awesome and safe travels!
Love your personality, Ethan! No matter what obstacles come your way you overcome them with strength and positivity!
I always enjoy your videos ❤
You live a charmed life.. keep sharing ❤
Glad your heart checkup went well, Ethan. And I truly believe that for every awful day you have, the universe will give you an awesome day down the road. Peace.
Well you had a Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day. I am glad that your heart is all good. Give Peaches some belly rubs for me. Keep having fun Ethan.
I really enjoy your videos. You are really brave and willing to try new things.
Glad you’re ok stay safe
Please stop stressing out, getting stressed out and frustrated will not make things better, just calm down and chill. 😎 lots of love, Tom.
Anxiety started when I was 21, and never left me... I have had different symptoms since then: heart palpitations, stomach aches and acidity, nausea, insomnia, blisters on fingers... You're in good company. Intelligent people cannot avoid anxiety: it's life.
Again, a view into the life and experiences of a very considerate young man who enjoys exploring the sights in our country. Some years back I got my car stuck in sand alongside the road at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There was no place to pull off the road except for sandy/sand covered roadsides. As luck would have it, a guy who was an insurance agent from my home town who happened to know my family stopped by chance and helped pull me out of the sand. One would never guess you suffer from anxiety by the amazing resiliency you demonstrate in handling the difficulties you encounter in your travels! KUDOS to you Ethan! You are amazing.
Always enjoy seeing you Ethan, glad you're well and living the adventure when we can't. Anxiety or not you exude a comforting realness that keeps us all grounded together in hope, faith and love for ourselves and one another too as we work it all out.
Loved this vid with those amazing views. The crocs in the shower are perfect, I know exactly what you mean. It's great to hear how you support the cancer research ideal (currently dealing with chemo and immuno myself), this support and everyone else's will hopefully ensure a cure one day for all cancers, both in humans and animals. PS I think you need a fold up spade, easier on the hands.
you are frank, truthful, honest, and very clear. Love your channel….so real. You're a doll….Rob
I traveled Arizona years ago. It is absolutely beautiful. I didn’t have a camper. I stayed in various hotels. Doing what you do by yourself is really brave. Please keep making videos. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your ups and downs in the life of a world traveler. As someone with a heart defect, never ignore any issues with your heart.
COOL TRAVEL VLOG!!!! Even your worst days seem so adventurous!!!! Sorry to hear about your anxiety --> glad you're OK, Arizona is BEAUTIFUL! I look forward to the next video.
Say hi to Peaches!!
I feel your anxiety. Confidence sometimes escapes you. I hope it comes to you with experience. I wish I could help you Ethan❤
Good one Ethan! Your resilience is inspiring.
You are definitely one of the most adventurous person I’ve seen so far! How I’ve dreamed of traveling the USA in my old jeep, but working on fixing it up at the moment. I send you positive vibes and thoughts for all the unknown and unexpected events. I wish you well in your travels and adventures! I will be keeping up with your videos now
