Love your best up! That IKEA unit is fantastic . Did the baskets come with it? They’re perfect. I’m just now setting up my Sienna to head to Quartzite. My first solo trip at 78 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Good for you. 😊👍 Yes the baskets came with it. It's actually a big unit and a smaller one that was made to mount on a wall but I used L brackets to tie them together.

I wish I was more like this lady. She is ready, practicing to acquire that knowledge to see what she needs, is thoroughly prepared, or like she mentioned if this is the life for her. All the items she has to make her and Ladybug's life better. 🙂 ❤ On a side note - why is it that you work so hard all of your life and people prepare and you are still told, 'Well, because you have a pension, you cannot draw on this other item that you have paid into to for all of your working years." Health care and insurance are so expensive at the time in your life that you need them the most.

When you get gas, take your keys and phone with you and lock the doors while pumpimg. Mini Van Lee just told of robbers that will jump in your driver's seat and scream that YOU were trying to steal the car! Then drive away in your car! Criminals are everywhere and can be sweet and friendly...at first. I worked retail for a long time and dealt with lots of thieves. You cant tell by looking st them, but trust your spidey sense!

Excellent advice throughout. Thank you ! One thing to add I take pictures and send them immediately to a family member or friend with a brief text that something seems off. That way the info is out incase something were to happen and my phone disappears.

For four years, I worked out of my vehicle. Hiking cross country often times through the brush. Attaching your keys to your body in someway is most important having a habit of never locking the door without having your keys in your hand or knowing where they are and not just thinking you know where they are. I have a clip, not a carabiner because those can be brushed against and loosened that I attached to a belt loop and I put the keys in my pocket. A walking stick is also a very useful tool, both against aggressive dogs, and wild creatures and wild humans. I live alone and I keep an ax and Pointy wire shears next to my bed.

Love Amanda and have followed her channel for years. She is so self resilient and it’s so inspiring for solo female travelers. If you are thinking about vanlife it’s worth following her channel as she stays in some gorgeous forest camps and her storytelling and filming is amazing but as a dog owner & lover her dedication to Frank is beautiful to watch.

Michelle I am watching this long after it's happened.. I had watched your video at the campdground So I knew you were there. Was worried for you. Somewhere I saw a video of you saying you were at the red cross.. So happy to hear everything turned out okay for the most part. Wish I was in Florida at your meet up To give you a big hug.. Wishing you better days and continued strength to your new outlook on life. Hope we cross pass again soon.
