It never fails... those solo anxieties and fears resurface EVERY time I get back on the road after a long break. This time was no different. But you gotta get back up on the horse, right? After about a day or two, those worries begin to disappear and the comfortability and familiarity with being alone comes back.
Do any of my fellow solo travelers ever feel this way?
Great to see you again I've been wondering where you've been don't worry I didn't build my truck camper until I was already 50 and I just took the summer off of traveling to help my parents but I'm heading out soon it's great to see you out there again I'm old but I understand you should be proud of yourself maybe one day you could tell me how to make a good video like you make
You weren't alone! I was in the bushes just off screen.
So glad to see you back out there. I hope you are settling into the new build. Yes I understand those weird feelings when your time with friends ends and the unknown stares you in the face. Adventure on and God be with you.
Yes- the anxiety I often experience when traveling and camping solo seems to come from the pressure of societal norms that have been placed on us in today's age. I usually feel a sense of irresponsibility or that I am being a slacker, and that I should instead be working or doing something more productive. I often forget why I work so hard to take these trips in first place. I also feel like I should be experiencing these times with another person or significant other, in order to validate my feelings, kinda like making an amazing meal and not having anyone to share it with. Maybe consider getting yourself a little canine sidekick? Please remember that you're having a positive impact on others that view your content, and never forget why you chose your unique path.
I think the anxiety happens to all of us. Some are just brave enough to share it and talk about it. Glad you’re back and getting out there.
Good to see you back looks like it was a wonderful trip hopefully it re-centered you. 😎👍
Your photography ability is fantastic. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, edited video.
Thank you for watching!
The owyhees are one of my favorite places I have been too. I wrapped up my trip at those hot springs as well and they are absolutely incredible
Good to see you back!!!
This was a great vid. You really do good work. Loved it. Be safe out there
Thank you so very much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
Super nice work on this, very engaging edit and storytelling. And that canyon is just magical...glad you made it down there, and looking forward to seeing where the road takes you next.
Much appreciated Donald!
Good to see you back. 2 weeks ago I was in island park. Drove the back country. Beautiful country. So much to see and so little time. Live the adventure while you’re young. 😊
Welcome back and Beautiful video as always!!
Thank you for watching!
So glad that you are finally traveling again and finding your happiness! The reconstruction of your fabulous rig was long and arduous, but I think the results are worth every worry and fear.AND you picked such a beautiful spot to start your new adventures!
Looks and sounds epic. Enjoy your trip.
Good to see you out exploring again. Those feelings of anxiety and uncertainty hit us all at one time or another. Facing them and moving forward is part of what makes you a Badass. Great video. Keep finding those amazing hidden places.
Great Video! My first time seeing one of yours. Thank You!
Thank you for watching!
Badass great video content keep our interest all the way through Thanks for Sharon. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.🎉
I like the cinematic production values interspersed with the more personal views. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching! 💙
The cinematics for this video are on point! Put together very well!
Much appreciated!! 💙
So good to see you again.
When I think of all the work, the trials and tribulations you've gone through to get to that moment.
You earned this. You worked hard for it. AND achieved it.
I can thank you enough for taking us along for one amazing ride. Look forward to seeing where it takes you. Your anxiety will slip away. Your doubts will no long be. You've proven yourself over and over.
You got this. Take care. Be safe. :)
Glad to see a familiar name in the comments!! Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. I'm very grateful that you are all still here - it means the world.
Wow girl, you always amaze me with your video production/editing skills! Pro Level!!! Beautiful! ❤❤❤
Aaawh thank you for always watching them!! It really means the world to me! 💙
Life's best moments are always based off a risk vs reward scenario. I'd say you nailed it on this one. A peaceful soul searching trip, for sure. Great work. Stay safe!
Thank you for watching! 💙
That spot is EPIC! 🤘🏻
What an amazing spot !!!
Badass is being able to look inward honestly with the knowledge your outlook will improve. Keep at it.
Wise words. Love and honor yourself, above all else. The rest of the world will fall into its place.
Nice work, I would love to travel there soon. Its hot springin weather now! I may hit up your Patreon to find out where!!
It is most definitely Hot spring season!! Hope to see you on Patreon - location provided! 💙
Awesome! ❤
I think having those feeling are normal, I just recently went hunting solo in Burns and it just felt different because my family was still at home and the what if’s start in. If I get hurt or whatever it may be. Anyhow good to see a video the drone shots are awesome and the truck looks great! Be safe
I agree with you. They are normal. And I think it's good to be aware of them. The trick is to not be held back by them and miss out on something. Thank you for watching!
This Cdn never gave up on you....(was hoping you might resurface one of these days) Kudos....Nothing ever worth doing is easy....reflection is a good thing (everyone needs those times)....getting your bearings re calibrated is ultra important in life and the community you are building will be there for you in the thick and thin of things!!! As for the video (LOVEd it....and the minute was Worth the WAIT.....Cheers, 1000 islands Canada (cant wait to see you on your bike) vs the One wheel!
Thanks for sticking with me! And for the wonderful comment. Was hoping to make it up into Canada this summer but it just didn't happen. Maybe next year!
Canada should be on your Bucket list ( But the West coast of the US is amazing) Safe travels!!!
Love the drone footage; you’re quite the pilot. What drone you flying? Good to see you back!
Much appreciated! I'm flying the Skydio 2+ with a controller (manual mode). One day I'd love to add a DJI to the fleet.
So good to see you again. With that said. I SO wish you'd put two more tie downs on your bike! Your going to show up to your destination someday and wonder where your bike went. 👍
Full-time rear view camera wouldn't let that go unnoticed. The bike also has a center tie down system. Most definitely NOT held exclusively by only 2 straps.
@@BadassBrunette I should of known you were on the case! 🙄
Glad to see you back...... what's the longhorn long/lat of the springs? Safe travels
WOW!
32 years as a truck driver. When you are on the road you miss home . When you're home you miss the road . I'm looking at retirement in a few years and I'm looking forward to not having a schedule i have to meet but i know travel will still be a big part of my life . Currently looking for an expedition/overland/camping vehicle to build. Its a toss up between doing my Ram 2500 similar to your truck , build a Sprinter , a Box truck or an old Schoolie .
If you ever need someone to chat with I'm always on the road from 5 to 5 or later . I've got lots of Grandfatherly advice, lol , just ask my granddaughter.
Appreciated!! And sounds like a big decision on which platform to go with. Each has their pros and cons. I'd LOVE a van one day.. but I'm not ready to give up the capability and nimblness of the truck just yet. That'll be an amazing retirement adventure for sure!
Pure excellence!
Thank you John!
That road from the bridge to the hot springs is one of the worst I've been on. It's so amazing there tho
Always wanted to float that river
That would be AWESOME.
Hi Cristin, do you know the brand of your dirt bike trailer? I love the clearance it gives you for those remote spots. Looking for a trailer for me dirtbikes as well.
Hey there! Unfortunately the trailer doesn't have a brand. I bought it for $500 on FB marketplace and I'm fairly certain the guy made it. But maybe look up 3-rail motorcycle trailers. That's what mine is. Then last summer I did an axle flip for clearance and added full size tires. That way my spare is universal. Bolt on a couple of tongue boxes from harbor freight and you've got a homemade offroad dirt bike trailer!! Hope that kind of helps.
Ok. Have to know how you are getting the drone shots. Are you driving/flying at the same time? Using waypoints? (Can't imagine how much work it takes just to get a minute of video!)
Beautiful woman....beautiful location.....EPIC!!🤙
How do you get the patches to stick to the ceiling of your cab? 😄
They're velcro-backed! It works on some headliners but not all of them.
@@BadassBrunette ohhh, ok. Yeah I have an f150 and I think they won't stick to my headliner. Ty!
@@peterswanson3446 A friend of mine has them in his F150. Couldn't tell you what year he has, but you could always test it out and see if something sticks up there.
Hey there. By the way. If you're ever in Cali and need a safe place to hang. I'm at the base of Angeles forest and your welcome to my property. Others should step up if you can help her out.
Much appreciated my friend. As a nomad, having those safe places to crash out at or hit the reset are invaluable. Glad to know there's one near Angeles Forest - thank you.
The last two miles is a bit of a rough road.
Agreed. It made me second guess bringing the trailer that far back. But there wasn't a turnaround at that point so I just went extra slow with it.
@@BadassBrunette I get it. I took a one ton flat bed with camper to the top of the hill overlook he falls. No my best judgement.
👍👍👍👍👍😀
Hey no one said being a badass doesn’t include also feeling human from time to time. Also in the woo woo world there’s been a lot of shit happening… charge ur crystals children 😂
Hahaha I'll be sure to keep my crystals charged. When you're out of service, you miss all the woo woo BS of the world. It's rather nice!
Kirsten, as one of the "local" people of SW Idaho, I would beg you to PLEASE not publish a map that leads directly to the hot spring. As it is, with the advent of many TH-cam overlanders making videos in that location the amount of visitors has about tripled in the last three years. Fortunately, these relative few are the ones with a great respect for the location and keep it pristine. It is relatively easy to find the spring, but as it is, it requires a little research and effort to locate so only those who really want to go there make the effort. If everybody in the world can just drive right up to it you know what will happen. We've both seen it too many times. Safe travels!
As someone who watched Meadow Hot Springs in Utah go from a beautiful gem to social media destroyed, all due to one viral video, I am well aware of the delicate balancing act between sharing and protecting. In case you didn't notice, I never once mentioned it's location in the video. (You actually gave more of an exact hint with writing "SW Idaho"..soo... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) I often discover these places by searching maps and researching on my own, and then I set out to find it. If I decide to film the adventure, I play the tactful approach of leaving little hints in the video so that if others are paying attention, they can do their own research if they so desire. But again, not once is it publicly disclosed in the video, although I understand the worry and concern.
It's a strange time that we live in and it's unfortunate when beautiful places are ruined by those who do not care. Meadow hot springs is a shining example of that.
Hmm,,, sorry. I wasn't making accusations, just concerned. In the last six months I've seen four different videos from major TH-cam channels using the springs as a subject. Little clues are fine. "SW Idaho" is a clue also, but it is a little clue in a very big place. In any case, I hope you enjoyed your trip through our area and maybe I'll see you out there, sometime. The new custom camper should be easy to spot! :-) @@BadassBrunette
All good! The concern is totally justified. Last thing anyone wants are for gems to be permanently ruined/closed and it starts with sharing responsibly. I honestly had no idea other channels were out there filming as well. I just find spots on the map and go check them out. Hopefully all of us creators can do our best with that fragile balancing act so those places continue being amazing for years to come. And yes! Maybe one day we'll get to cross paths out there in that beautiful wilderness. Flag me down if you see me! :D
Hi Cristin! First timer here on your channel! Nice to meet you! What Yamaha are you riding? Sean 👍🏻🇺🇸🍻🏍
Hi Sean! That's an 07 Yamaha TTR 230. Nothing fancy but it's truly one of those bikes that just keeps going!
@@BadassBrunette Nice! I have a Yamaha WR250R. If your ever in Northern Idaho or Washington State, let me know! Let's ride! 👍🏻🇺🇸🏍️
