1 Night Injured & Alone in the Mountains | Solo Car Camping

Join me in this car camping trip, where I don’t let an injury stop me from exploring the mountains of northern California. Bummed I can’t go on lengthy hikes with more stunning views for now, but car camping / mini adventuring is still fun in the meantime :)

Thanks for the car camping video. I enjoy watching these type of vids to get tips since I’ll be venturing west for five weeks this summer. Question- how do you find good dispersed sites to camp? Thank you- Brian

I made a short answering your question! kzbin.infoqi4MvuhhDbI?si=mi3G6CVbZT_pg89l

Hi Kate , New subscriber here. I'm a full-time Nomad off-grid guy. I'd just like to say it's so refreshing to see more people placing faith over fear & striking out for adventure. I just wish I would have followed my gut decades ago and went full-time. It'd be irresponsible of me to point out that yes you are a solo traveler ( yes a woman ) . So this goes without saying , always trust your instincts out there. Not just with people, but with nature & your surroundings. In all my years I've never had anything major happen. Aside from the weather. Wildlife will avoid you as much as possible, but that doesn't mean you aren't surrounded by the local animals . I was once in Yosemite and I spoke with a Ranger , I mentioned I've been visiting the area for years & I've never seen a mountain lion . Her response was " oh don't worry, they've seen you " 😂. What i mean to say is , they will avoid people for the most part . I personally stay off the trails at nite . Common sense prevails 😅. So enjoy your journey and thank you for allowing us to tag along . I wish you much success and stay true to yourself, your present and future subscribers will pick up on that. God bless you 🙏 ❤ 🙌

Norcal is the most beautiful place in the entire world! Believe that.

Great video. Glad you had fun despite the injury.

[@parsifal102]

Great video and also sharing about your injury - I learned a lot from it. All the best! (p.s. hope you get an electric car soon - will eliminate 2x sleeping bag and fear of cold at night - my Tesla certainly did)

Hello from VA ☺

Injuries are the absolute worst. I am now after 4 years able to do just 2 mile runs. Tore something in the back of my leg. Prevention is worth a ton of cure.

[@KateVenturesOutdoors]

Oh no, sorry to hear. But glad you are getting back up in miles

Hi from Turkey

Since you've had your Mazda3 for 7 years, as you mentioned in your last video, would it be a 2017 model year if you got it brand new?
