ALONE in the Winter Mountains | Solo Female Car Camper

[@michaelekdahl2245]

Christine, It is never too late or never to old to be an adventurer. I'm soon to be 67 and I consider myself to be adventurer. I hike, backpack, bikepack and car camp. "a life lived outdoors is a life well lived" REI quote. Happy New Year!

[@nomad_unknown]

You’re absolutely right! When I said, past MY prime, I was only referring to myself due to health challenges I have now that I didn’t have before. I don’t believe I said anything about ages because I don’t think that way. I see 70 year olds out performing much younger folks all the time!

[@7951Aries]

You're not crazy being out there at 20°...that's freakin awesome! That's the perfect NYE if you ask me. 😊🎉

[@nomad_unknown]

It WAS perfect! I loved it!

[@7951Aries]

​@nomad_unknown in this new year, I'd like for you to give yourself waaaayyyyy more credit. I think the definition of adventure/r is trying anything outside your comfort zone. And that's a broad area of things. And I think the act of doing things on your own is intimidating until you try it. For me, it was moving away in my 20s and it was just baby steps. Going into a restaurant for lunch and sitting at a table alone. And going to the movies alone. And walking for exercise alone in areas I wasn't quite familiar with. Then years later started hiking alone. Then backpacking alone. And roadtripping alone. And now, let's say 20 yrs later than my 20s, I enjoy my own company and don't hesitate to do anything on my own. So, I think anyone can adventure in their own way. 💯 Choose your own adventure!

Pine cones burn just as good as wood in a pinch, and makes good kindling

[@ashaw6960]

I was thinking the same thing 😊

[@AneaniAwesh]

Me identifico con usted señorita muchas felicidades es admirable lo que haces que Dios la bendiga

[@greghall14]

Your videos, and in particular, this video, warmed my heart and my soul. I’m a nearly 72 year old Aussie guy and i absolutely love getting out camping in my little square drop camper. I find it so peaceful, so refreshing and the best way to recharge the body and soul. Thank you sincerely for sharing your life and allowing us to sit around your campfire to take in those stunning views.

[@TheTravellingThr33]

What a beautiful way to bring in the new year.

[@Ron-Ton_78]

I think you represent many of us who wish to get outside and explore more.

[@JillBurkhart]

My sweet girl. I’m so proud of you and the path you are on to truly knowing yourself. Finding the adventure along the way is a definite bonus. ❤

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks Mom!

[@UTeeNye]

love nature, the great outdoors and exploration. most of the time i find doing simple things like building a fire and camping out the most enjoyable thing to do. it’s like taping into your innate senses and time don’t exist. most relaxing and pleasant thing to do. thank you for sharing your experience.

[@a_bridge_between]

You are truly awesome, and an inspiration. I love, love, love your channel. Such beautiful videography. Best of all, I love following your story, and your adventures.

[@TheTravellingThr33]

After watching this all the way. I just love it and you are the representation we need. nothing to fabricated or glamorized and that’s what I’m here for. Happy New Year.

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Carol_Sweet_1]

:35 I heard Nomi from Nomadic Introvert. She is absolutely one of my favorite KZbinrs, and you Christine, so are you!

[@ronniecurnutt4309]

I recently found this out my self but when doing potatoes, don't Polk hole in them . Reason is that let's out moisture in the potato and you end up with a dry potato. Js

[@TheQueensWalk]

Thanks

[@nomad_unknown]

Interesting! Thanks for the tip!

[@SuperDaveyoutube]

And since the 21st December, our northern hemisphere 🌍 is getting more daylight, more 🌞🌞 warmth. Downhill now to Spring.🌻🌼🌾🌹🌺🍓🍦🐝🐄🐥

[@tammymccune2016]

I personally think you are amazing and quite the inspiration to me! Thankyou

[@bertkelly7650]

You're not alone, you have us! Those pine cones make great fire starters/ maintainers.

[@elizabethveverka5738]

Fellow nomad here. Im watching a true Pioneer Woman collecting 🔥 fire wood . My hero❤

[@MBT32]

Happy New Year! What a great place to welcome a new year. We can be in solitude, but we're never alone.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Christine, it's good to see you again. Greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing your outdoor adventure. The very best to you in this New Year. Keep these timely videos coming out. Always stay safe out there 🏕️, stay safe, young and healthy everyday. 😊 👋

[@nomad_unknown]

Happy New Year! Thanks for watching!

[@seansean681]

Amazing spot! Beautiful, peaceful and quiet.

[@pianogirl3870]

Great video....especially how bright the fire was towards the end......awesome!

[@lizzshields8086]

What a spectacular place to bring in the New Year 🎆Happy New Year to you!! Enjoy your journey,each day is an adventure.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Christine, you are not past your prime. You are still a teenager !! Stay safe out there 🏕️. 😊

[@nomad_unknown]

Haha! I feel like a teenager sometimes! Thanks for the support!

[@Rin4tw]

I was going to comment the same thing !!!

[@PH-qv4fw]

Adventuring has no age barrier! Love your videos ❤

[@roxanes43]

You represent! Thank you for that. And happy new year 🎉

[@DorindaAlberthal]

Great video Christine, one of my favorites that you have ever done. Happy New Year and all the best to you in 2025. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos we appreciate you and look forward to each adventure you take us on. Blessings.

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you saying that.

[@kw2764]

I like burning pine cones and are good kindling too. You are lucky to have found such a beautiful campsite-wish i was there.

[@ralphcramden9775]

I love your personality, you have a kind soul. An inspiration to me. I will follow your journeys, happy new year to you 😊.

[@Lisam29]

No matter our age we should feel that we can start new adventures, learn new things, and can always improve ourselves. I try to keep this in mind! Happy new year!

[@nomad_unknown]

Happy New Year! That's a great way to look at it!

[@isitworthitletssee222]

Hey you beautiful soul. Happy new year 🥂 here is to better than best of adventures to come. Be safe and keep on keeping on 😇👍🏼.

[@cherieleeishere]

Aww bless you ❣️ I see you like Nomi too You both are my favourite KZbin channels to watch. Keep well 🌻

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Now I have to check Nomi out now

[@nomad_unknown]

I’m honored to be amongst Nomadic Introvert in your faves. Thanks!

[@HelenaWalker-w3c]

What a perfect way and place to end the year and start a new one. Please don’t say you’re past the prime “adventure age”! There’s a whole lot of us, I’m sure, that are still looking for adventure. I saw Jane Goodall today receiving the Medal of Honour; what a life she has had and she is still making a difference. You may not realize it but you too are making a difference so pat yourself on the back and look forward to wherever the wind takes you and enjoy every minute! Happy New Year and Happy Trails!!

[@susanwildrose]

To me this looks like a perfect cozy New Year’s Eve - wishing you all the best for 2025 🎉 and yes you definitely inspire me to get out and explore and camp on my own - I just got a Forester ❤you are a real Adventurer!

[@nomad_unknown]

Happy New Year to you too! So happy you’re getting out there and exploring!

[@briantate8619]

Christine... 1st of all HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025 the best year ever! 2nd... Your out there doing it while other people are only dreaming of it... THAT IS AMAZING! You celebrating the New Year in that location is AWESOME! 3rd You KEEP GOING and being you and discovering your WHY??? in this world we all get to live in by the supernatural GRACE of GOD!!! Your adventures and travels are spectacular and beyond words as i love to say about life, adventures, and the things of GOD! P.S. that is one of the BEST campfires i have ever seen... AWESOME JOB!😁🙏👍 GOD Bless You!

[@robertpowell2746]

Christine, in case you didn't know those big cones make a fantastic fire starter. Happy New Year to you also.

[@nomad_unknown]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@sarashann]

Thank you for making content and sharing your days. I'm currently in sticks and bricks awaiting my next foray and adventure. You keep me from Jones'ing too badly. 🙏

[@nomad_unknown]

Glad you're enjoying the content!

[@kimbrandom2789]

Happy New Year to you as well. I'm really glad I found your channel. I am enjoying your adventures and find you very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

[@nomad_unknown]

I appreciate you watching!

[@Michelle514C]

HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR TO U ✨️🎊🎈🎉✨️

[@glendawalton8917]

You can use pine cones for firewood. They make the best coals for cooking on too. There's always plenty of pine cones so use em . Just letting you know.

[@NWgirlstuckinFL]

Happy New Year Christine! Thank you so much for all of your videos. You bring me so much joy when I watch them. I feel serene & happy as I see that it’s possible to live a simple life absorbed by our beautiful world. All the best to you always!💖🥰

[@Marcdashark64]

What a great video you are an adventurer and Happy New Year to you

[@iJammy]

Hello! Just stumbled across your channel and love your content!! Think ill stay a while!!☺️

What a magnificent way to bring in the new year🎉

[@sharonhildenbrand1566]

Happy New Year!🎉🔥

[@JJC82]

Looks very peaceful! Happy New Year 2025. It is going to be a fantastic year! Isaiah 43:18-19 - God says “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

[@Keyapennyfox]

You very much ARE the representation. If you ever consider a meet up with your subscribers at some point, it would be a cool way for u to connect with like minded folks and realize you're not alone...plus it would make for some cool content. A group hike, camp or just meet at a cafe would be super fun even if only a few could make it.

[@nomad_unknown]

I’m open to the idea of a meet-up in the future but I don’t know when. :)

[@billroderick3476]

Another great video TY

[@renalangstaff730]

I feel your mood shifts my girl. I see your social side, I see your introvert side. Peace and uncertainty fights for my attention. Im so ready to retire. I need to smell and feel nature. Thats where I find my direction. Physically at my age I struggle. Hip replacements have slowed me down. Find your peace in the trees and stars beautiful. You got this!

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks for the encouragement! I relate to your feelings about finding peace and direction in nature.

[@rachelmaher8406]

I just recently retired. I want to do a looong road trip . I love nature. I feel peace and grounded in the forest. But my parents don’t think it is a good idea. 😒

[@outdoorswithfrontpagenate4322]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year!

Excellent 🙏🎶❄🌞🍰🍻🐝🐑🐸. Happy New Year to you What a lovely "natural" way to welcome in 2025. Alone is different to "lonely".

[@snephtar]

Happy New Year.

[@Frank1772-r1m]

What perfect way to spend New Years! The SW USA is such a blast to car camp. Spent 4 months doing it in 2019 on my days from work in Alberta, Canada. Man I miss it!

[@yuccavalleynan2074]

Loved the area & the fire! Happy New Year - here’s to a year of safe travels! ❤

[@nomad_unknown]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@williamjosephbc17Q]

you had tons of pine cones right around your vehicle... they burn really well... cheers!

Happy new years Christine , that is a awesome site,

[@nomad_unknown]

Happy New Year!

[@henryanderson7606]

Happy new year Christine!!, what a beautiful camp you found!! ..What I love is seeing the joy you get out of the simple things in life like a campfire and the outdoors!!

[@debslifesimplified6406]

I enjoyed your video. The spot you're in is truly beautiful. We have a winter storm warning heading right for us. I scheduled my day off for Monday. It's supposed to come in Sunday night I'll be done driving by then. You should look into the Mormon historical society. I'm sure Salt Lake City would be flooded with answers your looking for. Happy New Year 🎊 Christine I look forward to more videos.

[@nomad_unknown]

Happy New Year! Thanks for the tip!

I did the same thing 😅. But I have been hiking the mountains for over 30 years.

Pine cones make great fire starters and kindling. 😊

[@Solosouls06]

Incredible place to start a new year

[@jodyglen4450]

Fantastic video! So proud of you! I loved seeing you draging in all that firewood as i do the same!😂❤🎉

[@susanhill9166]

❤ Hiya lovely. 😮😮😮 Wow the views at the beginning of your video were stunning. You know you can always sleep in your wool hat, i do living on this narrowboat when the canal as frozen over, because the heat comes out of your head, put a wool hat on keep the heat in your head and body. Try it , cosy. ❤ Take care ❣️ X X X

[@nomad_unknown]

Yes, I often sleep in a sweatshirt with a hood.

[@danaleestephens1686]

I'm jealous I wish that I wasn't to old to start over and just be free!

[@nomad_unknown]

It’s never too late to start again!

[@larryt510]

Nice scenery

[@adelea6761]

That beam of light while you were cooking set of a migraine for me

[@nomad_unknown]

Sorry for your health troubles. Be forewarned that I intend to capture the world around me as it is and this will sometimes include things that you may be sensitive to.

[@melodyblanchard2017]

hello from Maine! happy new year! i sat home alone by myself on my couch yours looks sooo much ncer ;)

[@carmenbravo5057]

Happy New Year! Great way to bring in the new year! You represent a woman who is her own. I actually find that history before colonialism is more my jam. It feels like I walk the land my ancestors walked for thousands of years. They took care of the land and they lived off it with respect and that makes me proud.

[@nomad_unknown]

I hear ya! If you have any book recommendations, I’d appreciate them! I’ve read a few on indigenous history but not enough.

[@burnedoutdude]

If I ever see you in my neighborhood, I'm calling the fire dept. immediately. I really like your videos.

[@christineG8285]

Happy New Year 2025 … thank you for your inspiring and beautiful videos … stay blessed ❤️

[@bobmirror7164]

So agree with the commentary. Appealing to the masses ("now days") is a fine art when one has a brain.

[@Frank1772-r1m]

Hey, best place to stay 4-6 weeks. fly from Seattle, Tokyo, Bangkok, Surat Thani. Then ferry ride to Ko Pha Ngan. Rent a scoter for 1 mth and have a blast! edit: MONGKON CAR RENTAL PHANGAN for the scooter

Sounds amazing! I’m sure I’ll be back to international travels before too long!

[@OrhanBaba-r3o]

Superbe vue panoramique. Beau feu de camp. Juste ne jamais faire des cuissons alimentaires au feu avec du papier aluminium. Le papier aluminium contient de fortes particules neurotoxiques qui peuvent altérer fortement la nourriture lors de contact avec des températures élevées.

How do your clothes stay in the roof box , damp?

[@nomad_unknown]

My roof box is “watertight”. Nothing up there has ever gotten wet.

[@ruththompson951]

👍👏👏👏💯

[@Adventures2nature]

I think what you are experiencing is imposter syndrome…. You are living the life ❤ you ARE an adventurer! There is no age limit that I’m aware of, if so I’m in a bind cause I’m fixin to start my adventures at 52 😂

[@nomad_unknown]

Thanks for saying that. I wasn’t trying to imply that there’s a certain age, especially in relation to anyone else. When I said, “past my prime” I was relating more to personal medical challenges I have now vs. in the past.

[@alienmidknight368]

Nice fire for a girl, ha ha Just kidding, well done young Lady, says I (M65) Well done.
