First time camping off-grid | I got scared

last video I left off in Tennessee and now I'm in California so before I start this video let me give you a little recap roll the clips after spending a month between Florida Georgia and Tennessee I continued my adventure West making stops along the way eventually I got to Colorado and decided to stay a while first I went to The Garden of the Gods now I've been on many hikes in my life but let me tell you these views were ones I had never seen before the red rock formations were incred incredible the next day I went to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refugee so I'm not going to lie I think I've seen more animals in my backyard before afterwards I headed to a nearby City can you guess where I am here's a little hint if you guess Boulder you'd be right I walked around Pearl Street and ate some pizza for lunch which as a New Yorker I can say was pretty good later that week I met up with one of my college friends together we explored Denver visited the Red Rocks ate some tasty food and went on a hike with another friend finally before leaving Colorado I had to do a ski day I had never skied alone before so I wasn't sure if I was going to like it I ended up having a lot of fun making some friends on the lifts skiing down some cool trails and having lunch at the lodge the only thing I did that wasn't great was ending up on a black diamond with no one around thankfully I was all right I left Colorado but the fun wasn't over one thing about me is I never pass up on sibling time so when I found out my sister and brother-in-law were going to Vegas for a few days I had to join together we went to shows hiked and just enjoyed each other's company it was time for them to go home and for me to meet up with my cousin we're taking a shower in the rain do it all the way ready 1 2 2 3 wait you do it we also met up with our friend Adam who took us on his seedos to go camping on Lake Havasu I spent a few more days caravanning with Nicole this van has been following me for Miles I'm getting a little freaked out we went to Joshua Tree oh you did it I can't believe I just did that and for what I was going to sleep in these stayed at Hot Springs and had lots of fun like usual eventually we said goodbye and now I'm in California right now I'm trying to find some place to sleep tonight I think I've moved on from all the truck stops and now I'm starting to go to other places which is a lot of fun I just went online and I saw some place that I think I could stay at so we're going to go right now there's some offroading involved before it gets dark I'm going to put up all my window covers never ready for this part got it every night I take out my two headlamps and and my two flashlights made it it looked like I fell but it was graceful I meant to do that the thing about car life these shorts aren't super clean but they're not dirty either so we're just going to hang them up here are a few of my helpful tips one whenever you get some where right away just put your window covers up you don't want everyone to know you're here two always keep your front seat empty three always lock your doors and double check that they're locked I thought it would look a little bit better with the flash on I don't know maybe a little bit for dinner I have two rice cakes with peanut butter and banana wow that is messy to be eating in your bed but you know my my bedroom is my kitchen is my living room is everything in one it's even my bathroom so for years before going to sleep I would just watch TV but now I work on my computer before bed if I have enough energy if not I'll just go to sleep we've got a new home for the night so here's the thing guys I tried for my first time to Camp Off Grid all on my own and I was doing all right until it hit around 10:30 and I started hearing coyotes and just all these other noises I was getting really freaked out so I jumped my driver's seat which is why I always leave it empty and I saw that there was a Welcome Center about 10 minutes away so I just drove really quickly just reset everything up and yeah I'm out of breath I honestly just had such a bad feeling in my stomach I'm not sure why but as I always say first rule be safe so now I am at this welcome center and I'm going to get to sleep [Music] I was trying to film a little bit outside but the wind speeds are just so fast right now that my phone kept falling and I just broke my phone a few weeks ago from that same reason oh I hope it didn't crack if it did that would suck but it didn't oh wait it did a little bit so instead I'm going to be filming only in my car for now there's some mornings I wake up and completely get ready in my car but this morning I think I'm going to go to a coffee shop so I'm just going to wait the extra 10 minutes and use their bathroom on my quick five minute drive I came up with a game plan for today and tomorrow so because I'm in a city right now I decided that today would be a work day I'll do some errands get my car washed all that good stuff get some gas although I am in California so I'm not looking forward to that and then tomorrow I'm going to use the day to explore so if you're not interested in watching a work and errands day I would say skip to day [Music] two I just finished editing my car tour so now I'm going to run some errands granola bar for breakfast it's good can't forget my Aldi's quarter [Music] and we are done it just got really really hot out so I just changed into my Manatee shirt I got this when I went swimming with manatees in Florida now I have to put all the groceries I just bought into my cooler so I'm going to do a little grocery haul that nobody asked for okay let's go through it for fruit today I got pineapple and watermelon at home I would never buy pre-sliced fruit but in the car it just makes sense I got two bag salads granola bars Mandarin oranges some hand sanitizer of course I got some mac and cheese and then I got some pistachios to put on top of my salads last thing I got a Celsius I'm trying not to drink these every day like I used to but sometimes in the morning I just need some energy so this is the grocery haul now I'm going to put it all into my cooler and make some lunch because okay never mind can't tell the time the watch is dead but anyways I think it's lunchtime so that's what we're going to do I ate lunch took a shower and washed my utensils 3 hours later everything is all set up it's 9:00 and it's still 80° so I know this is going to be a hot night I st had a lot of parking lots but tonight I'm at a place where there's actually a lot of people walking around so first thing when I got here I locked my doors I put all my window covers up without recording cuz I just wanted to get it done very quickly so no one is able to see in here and know that I'm here traveling alone in a car is a lot of fun but one thing I always have to be thinking about is my safety the reason I'm parked here is because after a full day of running errands I want to do something really fun tomorrow and I'm actually going to go on a big hike where I am right now was only 10 minutes away from the trail so I'm going to be going to sleep early because tomorrow I want to get my hike in before it hits 93° I never thought the day would come where I was brushing my teeth on camera 6: a.m. and the lawnmowers are going off I cleaned up and started my drive to Indian Canyons so I just got to the trail head it looks like a lot of people are already showing up first I'm going to use this kind of just to wipe myself down because it was really hot out yesterday last thing I feel like I can't start a hike unless I have my braids in [Music] I don't know why but every time I see a gecko or a lizard or something like that I always think about that Parent Trap [Music] scene here's the first Crossing I read that there's a lot of creek crossings along this hike I'm going to try to avoid getting my feet wet as long as I can but we'll see I think it's inevitable which way do we go eeny meeny miny mo [Music] mo this is also a trail where people are riding horses just make sure that you're stepping off to the side waiting for everyone to pass before you start hiking again also someone commented on how big this tripod was and the fact that it's sticking out of my back she was right honestly I kind of look like catniss right now with her bows so I'm not mad about it love that [Music] movie it's like I'm entering [Music] Narnia I'm going to take a moment to acknowledge how good my balancing while hiking has come if you saw those beginning videos of me on my cousin's Channel you would know that when I was hiking I would fall at least like three to four times with every hike now I just crossed two Crossings without even getting a single drop of water on my shoe I'm proud of myself go me [Music] so when I looked online it showed that there was water at the end but depending on the time of year sometimes there's not a lot of flow but I am so happy because today there is and I threw out my bathing suit so I'm going to get changed and take a little dip [Music] oh life is wonderful is wonderful oh life is [Music] wonderful [Music] never our life can be this good life is wonderful life is wonderful life is Wonder is wonderful [Music] [Music] never okay last movie reference I feel like I'm in The Lion King and that is where they held Simba during the circle of life
