      I bought a rv van, Pleasureway, and wanted to travel and enjoy like you. I have several pensions so I don’t need anything else. BUT I am too afraid to do it😂. I worry if I have a breakdown, or flat tire or get lost 😂. You are a special person, extremely brave and work hard to provide us with information and enjoyment. Negative Nellies can just go watch somewhere else, and not upset themselves over your success.❤

      Emi, I hope you​ blocked that nasty person. Your videos are lovely to watch and you take me places that I will never otherwise get to see. That is very valuable to me and I am sure many others feel the same way.

    I’m a full time single female traveller in Australia, one thing I was taught before hitting the road 6 years ago was……when you park always park facing towards OUT…..

    Emi, from what I see in the videos I watch on youtube, making these videos is a lot of work. Setting up shots, walking back and forth for each scene, all the time editing, and probably things that I am not even aware that you have to do. I am sure you work just as hard as any job to make a living. I admire you. You are very talented. I appreciate you.

    The plant you pointed out is Salal. It is an evergreen bush and has some medicinal benefits. I live in Tenmile Oregon and have 10 acres with Salal growing on it. Sometimes they harvest it to put in flower arrangements, but only in spring when the new leaves come out to avoid brown or black spots on the leaves. Love your channel on TH-cam.

    Lol we all have those days where it takes three times longer to get stuff done, and at the end of the day all one has really accomplished is having a shower or getting the dishes done.
    I love the driving through the green woods and seeing Kelly getting her "seat bongos" :) Your van looks absolutely awesome, even when its muddy!
    I vote for sausage and mushroom quesadillas!

    Thank you for sharing your life with us. I watch many nomads, vanlifers, etc., and yours is the life I most want to have...not the TH-cam channel stuff, that's too much work for me, but the quiet, back-country life with your beloved kitty. There is something very soothing about a cat purring and I love when Miss Kelly purrs. Take good care of yourself and please don't let the negative Nora's get you down. ❤😻

    Emi, I know you like to face the beauty that is water and nature but I'd wish you'd consider always backing in so that in the event of an emergency and you need to get out quickly, you can just start your van and drive off rather than have to back out. Especially if it's dark out. Just a thought. Your videos are often filled with beautiful scenery. Kelly is just a sweetheart of a kitty. Stay safe.

      @moiratimmons8755 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      @joannegerrard9414 most likely carpenter ants. Very early emerging adults, looking to mate. Carpenter ants don't eat wood, but they tunnel in it where it's moist. Its an important role in the temperate rainforest. Or we would be surrounded by stumps and logs from all the ages! Carpenter ants and the other decomposers (other insects like beetles, or molds, fungi, worms, and bacteria and more) break down organic matter so the nutrients can be used by other plants.

    Hi Emi, it's funny seeing my hometown in your videos, you probably won't even see this post, or if you do you could be long gone but just in case you do, I'd love to meet up for a coffee if you like. I believe that the plant you seen is Salal. Salal is a medium-sized shrub with glossy, leathery oval leaves with pointed tips and white bell-shaped flowers in early spring. It is native to the Pacific Northwest, and its attractive leaves are prized for floral arrangements. In the summer, the clusters of black berries that appear are edible and loved by birds. Safe travels ❤

    Hi Emi and Kelly! I'm not a vegitarian, but I could happily have eaten what you made because everything in the pan was my kind of good eats, except the plant based sausage. I've tried on numerous occasions to use meatless products, but there is something in the formula that just doesnt agree with my stomach. It's every different brand, so I'm thinking its maybe whatever binder they use to keep it together? Ive made my own meatless sausages and dont have a problem with them. Any suggestions for an off brand????? Is your cookbook in digital form or paperback?
    Ok so have you communicated with Jeffie Bear? Was hoping we could get a bit more info on his stroke as in does he have full use of his arms and stumps so he can move back and forth from bed to chair? I know they are asking for prayers and privacy but i was kind of hoping you had talked to him or Chrome maybe has?
    Happy trails and safe travels!
