BRAVE WOMEN Camping

Join me and some other vanlife women as we explore and learn more about van and suv builds and solo adventuring later in life. Thanks to ‪@LulusWay64‬ we were able to gather together from near and far in the New England woods.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Thanks for being here everyone! I am very close to hitting that magical 1000 subscribers mark. I would be so appreciative if you would press the subscribe button!

[@Fab50VanLife]

So True, almost ready for the road again. Amazing Woman VanLife Traveling adventures. ❤🤗🥰

[@justjudy7320]

Thanks for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the larger gatherings🎉 as someone who takes other humans in smaller bites it's nice to see that there was plenty of space and quiet when you wanted it❤

[@LoPieintheWild]

Yes I was definitely able to find a balance and tended toward more alone time to be honest.

[@PERRYSORANGE]

I'm 64 and ready..... hope to run into these ladies. I'm in Maine

[@BnB316]

I love your video. It was nice to meet you at the meetup. I hope to see you down the road.-- Cheryl 😊

[@LoPieintheWild]

Great to meet you too, I enjoyed talking to you. Yes, see you down the road!

[@glee105]

The two first time ladies …78 and 71 …right on! First solo….bravo! Seattle is just perfect . Everyone loves it as the days are cooler than the rest of the states. Oregon is a state of many many bridges.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Just found your channel - admire all these adventurous souls - enjoying tagging along!

[@LoPieintheWild]

Welcome aboard!

[@sandyriley6421]

You were camping kind of behind me (I was at site 64). You waved on your way out. I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet. I had a Eurovan at one point in my journey; I loved camping in it. I really enjoyed this video.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Oh wow, sorry we missed each other. Next time, down the road, Sandy. And so cool a fellow Eurovan owner. They are really unique vehicles.

[@susanlewis1875]

It's nice to encounter someone comfortable with being solo. I'm not anti-social, but I do need my solitude. I'm going to get on the road in the next year or die tryin'! I look forward to tagging along on your journey!

[@LoPieintheWild]

Awesome to hear it Susan!

[@UrgetoRun]

Loved your video! So relaxing & your cooking looked yum. Thanks for featuring the meetup also. Looking forward to seeing more. New sub 😊

[@LoPieintheWild]

Welcome so glad you found the channel!

[@Cjs_Travelin_Van-Na]

New sub here. Love this video. A good mixture of everything. Looking forward to the Oregon trip!

[@LoPieintheWild]

Wonderful to hear! Yes I’m on the road now!

[@gottahavemoxie1]

Hi Lo Pi, it’s your neighbor Wendy across the way at #35. Loved getting to chat with you. Touring through your van was quite special. You have a very cozy home on wheels.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Wendy, I hope you had a good rest of your trip, and it feels like you want to do another one soon. I enjoyed our chats, glad to know you.

[@kathyschaefer2455]

1st time watching you love the birds. I miss camping I can’t wait till I’m back on the road.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Glad you’re here, Kathy 😊

[@muzzable]

Your comments on the bird songs. I always find it comforting. New to your channel and I subscribed!😊

[@LoPieintheWild]

Wonderful that you found your way through the wild’s of the internet and landed here

[@Gypsy-lq1xh]

Wow… very interesting about birds & human relaxation response!!! Makes a lot of sense !!! I envy all you brave women so much that the doing this…nice video ! ♥️ Oh… love the Korean pancake idea… it’s similar to how Indians ( East India) make pancakes with veggies…♥️

[@LoPieintheWild]

Glad you can live a bit vicariously. And yes good point about the Indian pancakes too, not sure what they’re called.

[@Gypsy-lq1xh]

@@LoPieintheWild yes… I did buy a beautiful high top van about 6 years ago…. But my life was VERY complicated and I returned it… still kicking myself in the butt… but I might have another opportunity soon…yeah I can’t remember the Indian pancake name either…. Pakora comes to mind or Dosa ? you make a green chutney and tamarind chutney to go with it….

[@luckywarriorakabonnies.1855]

Hi Lo Pie, Great take on the meet up organized by Lulu's Way. I've been following her channel for awhile now and just Love her. Enjoyed your need for your own quality time to yourself as well. We all need to reflect and refill our cups before we can become overflowing to bless others. I've been planning on coming to one of the meet ups but my rig (small mini bus) had other plans., lol. She needed some Brake work and a little Welding done, taking her to a lake near my home town for the month of July before heading out across country. I'm also heading West, Oregon coast is one of my destinations before heading up to Washington area to visit my oldest daughter and her family and then plans to eventually head to Quartzsite AZ for winter. Can't wait to see more of your adventures on your journey west. Sending vibes of Blessings and Love for your continued health and safety as a sister nomad.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Thanks so much for your post! I’ve been inspired by Lulu as both a part-time nomad like myself and as a KZbinr. Your mini-bus sounds very cool and your trip sounds amazing. I would love to go some place warm for the winter one of these days!

[@ArchitectOneness]

Thank you for sharing I’m new to the idea of getting out there on my own… I loved what you said about hearing the birds sing. It really appeals me having time out in nature hearing nature… love your van setup!

[@LoPieintheWild]

So glad to hear what resonated for you. And nature is always with us.

[@Mindfulness_Nature]

Hi, Ontario Sue site 37 here. It was nice meeting you! Enjoying watching your channel 👍

[@LoPieintheWild]

Yay, Sue! Your bike rides looked like loads of fun!

[@Mindfulness_Nature]

@@LoPieintheWild I left early on Thursday and stopped in Burlington Vt. to bike 🚴 the Islands Line Trail also known as the Colchester Causeway. By the time I got back to my car I finished with a 26 miles ride🥵😅.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Fantastic, that’s a wonderful area for biking.

[@elizabeththompson6345]

I like seeing that I’m not the only person who uses a tablecloth while camping. I’m using a few vintage ones and one I embroidered when I lived in Germany. Nice! (Love Korean style pancakes)

[@LoPieintheWild]

Love that! The tablecloths sound fantastic!

[@R-cg4on]

I'm going to DO THIS!!! I can't wait to hit the road....

[@LoPieintheWild]

Love to hear it, and even just shorter adventures can lift the spirits.

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

I enjoyed this! Thank you. I hope to be able to do this one day soon.

[@LoPieintheWild]

So glad to hear it! You can and will!

[@SuperMjennings]

I love the excitement in your voice - log my gosh that’s amazing?” Subscribed.

[@darlenenelson5678]

I really like your van and I love the color. I’m still working on my van so I may get out towards the end of summer or fall or maybe next year, Lol. I’ve watched quite a few of the meet ups and they look like fun. Can’t wait to be able to go to some. Take care and have fun.

[@LoPieintheWild]

Wonderful to hear of your plans! I know my van has been a work in progress and was happy to make some short trips even as I was still working on it. Happy trails!

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

New follower here. Nice video and those 2 ladies enjoying and doing what they want. So many ways to set up a person’s vehicle. Great ideas. Looks like a nice place and love the birds in the background. Oh yum…where can I find those pancakes?? They looked very good. Glad you’re enjoying the group camp. Maybe one day …

[@LoPieintheWild]

Glad you found your way here. I got them at my load food coop but maybe Whole Foods. Seem easy enough to make from scratch though.

[@ironbutterfly1981]

The ladies in their 70's do not look a day older than 50! What's their secret! :)

[@LoPieintheWild]

@@ironbutterfly1981 sense of adventure!

[@54bonkers]

That pancake looks really good. Where do you get them? Yum!

[@LoPieintheWild]

I got them at my local food co-op. Whole Foods might also have them. Seems like they’d be easy to make homemade really (if I was motivated).

[@QAsession]

​@LoPieintheWild Hi 👋 Your video popped up in my fyp, and I watched it since I follow woman van travels. Just wanted to echo the fact that those Korean pancakes did look good. I watch korean-dramas and thats one of the things they cook often in kitchen scenes 😂.. simple ingredients andd easy to whip up with an egg and any veggies on hand. Its fast hot food when you're craving something yummy and savory. Great vlog. You gals had a nice time. The venue was really beautiful. Lulu is an amazinng host. Thanks for the upload!! Happy travels. (Sorry to pop up under someone else's comment. I hope I haven't offended anyone)

[@QAsession]

@54bonkers Super easy to make. KZbin has a ton of recipes. My favorite way is with cabbage. The cabbage retains heat and keeps the pancake hot as you eat. Putting kimchhi is also nice cause it makes it spicy ( if you like sspicy food).

[@LoPieintheWild]

@@QAsessionI’m a big kimchi fan!

[@joyceparis]

SUGGESTION--AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY VIDEO, AFTER YOU LULU, INTRODUCE YOURSELF, PLEASE LET US NEW PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN JONING HOW TO DO THT. IS THERE AN EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE WE CAN FIND INFORMATION ON THE NEXT MEET UP AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT AS FAR AS RULES AND THE COST TO GET IN THE GATES. ALSO DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO DRIVE A VAN SAY RATHER THAN A MINI VAN OR A SUV?

[@LoPieintheWild]

You would have to try Lulu’s channel for that kind of info. Her channel is tagged in the title of the video. Maybe some day I will do something like this myself.

[@tammy9162]

Where's this location? So Beautiful!❤

[@LoPieintheWild]

@@tammy9162 it’s in Massachusetts outside of Boston in a state forest. It was a lovely spot!

[@tammy9162]

@@LoPieintheWild that's the wonderful thing about Northern States. The beauty is breathtaking. TY for replying 🤩

[@WaffleFaceRVA]

I'm looking for a ladies' group of campers in VA or nearby. Please let me know if there is an org I could hang with!

[@LoPieintheWild]

I hear most of the camping meetups are organized on Facebook. Maybe one day I’ll host one of my own.

[@clarkkathleenhusband6045]

QUESTION ( 1ST NOT YELLING WITH CAPITALS VISION ISSUES FROM M.S.) THE LADY IN PURPLE THAT COOKED THE KOREAN PANCAKE.....WHERE DOES SHE BUY THAT?????? I AM VEGAN ( THOUGH PARDON I DO EAT EGGS FROM A FARM AND ANYTHING FROM THE OCEAN THOUGH I TRY TO FIND THAT FARM RAISED. ) I REALLY REALLY WOULD LIKE INFO ON THAT PLEASE AND THANKS KATHLEEN. AND IF SOMEONE WOULD TO HOOKUP WITH A PARTNER TO SHARE EXPENSES ( I CAN'T DRIVE AND I AM STRAIGHT AND MARRIED. FROM ARIZONA. ) OR ( POSSIBLY ONE DAY WIDOW. ) HOW DO YOU LOOK OR HAS ONE IN THE GROUP EVER DONE THIS ??????? ***** ALSO WHEN I WAS MUCH YOUNGER MUCH!!! I DID TRAVEL WITH 2 LADIES THAT WERE PARTNERS AND A FRIEND. SO I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM TRAVELING WITH NON STRAIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. I WAS JUST DESCRIBING MYSELF. I HAVE A VERY OPEN HEART AND NON-BIASED HEART. THANKS FOR LISTENING...AND FOR ANY HELP LOVE, KATHLEEN

[@LoPieintheWild]

I got them at my local food co-op but maybe at Whole Foods they would have them. A lot of people find other people to camp with through Facebook womens camping groups.

[@glee105]

lol …I don’t know what the fuck happened! Too funny.

[@BlackandWhiteshorts72]

Would men be shunned; genuine question?

[@LoPieintheWild]

In this instance, it was a public campground that anyone could stay at so there were men around. If one approached the group activities, I imagine people would explain that the purpose was to create a space for women and hopefully that person would get the message.

[@BlackandWhiteshorts72]

@@LoPieintheWild Good answer, thank you.

[@cindiejo150]

Love the fact you can hang out with the other ladies as much as you feel like it. I would also feel overwhelmed and appreciate my own campsite to relax at. Looks like a beautiful campground!⛺️ Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@LoPieintheWild]

Thanks for being here!

I want to do a meet up with other women. I live in Idaho. How dose one find out about these things Gramma Marla would like to know.❤❤❤

I hear there are a lot of older women camping groups on Facebook

[@alexel4u]

I enjoyed your take on the meet and I am looking forward to following your trip to the west coast as I would like to go there myself.
