I ALMOST QUIT | Living in a Travel Trailer | Canadian Rockies | Van Life

[@mobiltec]

Been with you the whole time Cat. It's been a good 5 years. I'm here because of what you do. The videos are hardly ever about you. It's about what you see and how you share it. It's about how we get to see what you see through your lens. You're doing all the work. And when you step out in front of the camera, rather than being the star, you are but another one of the beautiful features that we are seeing through the lens of our life. It's like you're part of the story, and part of the scenery but not the main focus. I love it.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much Larry! 🙏🙏

[@sacredstonecards9051]

For me, it is absolutely awesome when Joey catches you, when you think you are off camera. There is a whole other dimension to your videos when he catches you like that. It is like a window opens and there You are, the real you, not the camera ready you... You actually come alive and it is truley beautiful. It is like when a great director of film catches an instant in time and...mastery. Joes is the mirror that catches that moment and you are the beautiful subject of that moment. They are rare in your videos and in film, but are the bits of stardust. ❤

[@TheAriesgirl57]

Happy birthday Cat! My favorite thing to do on a Sunday morning, as I sip my coffee, is watch your beautiful videos.

[@carlrice6989]

I plan my Sunday Breakfast to watch your Adventures,,, Happy Birthday Cat,,,

[@bartleydalfonso2853]

Here's a suggestion, Cat: think about working for the U.S. Nat'l Park Service during summer seasons. Having a trailer is an advantage, since many parks have a low inventory of housing available (cabins or dorms). Some Seasonal workers work summer seasons in one park and work winters in another, and a trailer helps for park Superintendents to house you (many have full hookups for NPS employees). Best wishes!

[@boscodog4358]

Unlevel your trailer a little bit. Side/to side. That may help with the leak.

[@JoeD.294.]

Happy B-Day Catherine ! Living on the road in your trailer has it's pros and cons but you will have a lifetime of fabulous memories which will last forever.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Definitely! Thank you!

[@markpashia7067]

One thing to remember is that land and animals can really tie you to one spot. Look deeply before deciding. I prefer renting with outside taken care of so I can up and go anytime rather than have to arrange for lawn care and people to watch over a place when I go. But I also miss having space to breath without seeing neighbors too. Life is often compromise.

[@bobsneed2971]

Happy birthday Cat. Whatever you decide to do in the future will work out. Always enjoy your videos. Gods blessings to you and Joey.

[@jeffravenstein4300]

Well Happy Birthday, and I am very glad you did not quit this, your channel is one I do enjoy very much!

Glad you got to see it I’m watching your video today July 25 and Jasper has now been decimated by forest fire 😢prayers for Jasper and Alberta and all affected

More of that beautiful Canadian scenery. Thanks! If you ever need to replace the tongue jack, they make electric ones with a manual connection. That way if you have electric issues you can manually crank the jack up or down.

[@leedanielson7452]

5 years Cat? You gotta be kidding me! WOW! Happy birthday too and don't you even dare think about quitting what you are doing!😂❤👍👏🏻🙏🏻

[@markstevens1729]

Mount Robson is almost always obscured by clouds. I’ve passed it countless times, always with a camera, and only once was the peak visible. It makes its own weather.

[@markpashia7067]

That is the strange thing about the mountains. One area can be socked in completely but go a small distance and find totally different weather. Like a bunch of different systems rather than just one big one.

[@markstevens1729]

@@markpashia7067 I’ve been to Robson on a blue sky day, the peak shrouded in cloud - and nothing else is cloudy. Because it is snow capped year round (so far…) it literally makes its own weather.

Holy cow, I can’t believe it’s been five years either, been watching since around 4k subs, when u still had a day job and took trips to the eastern Sierra on weekends… just a great reminder to live life while you can. Thanks for taking us with you all these years…❤

[@peggynulsen1365]

Happy, happy birthday Cat. I have been a big fan from your very first video. You have perfected the secret sauce of KZbin content.....skilled photo/videography, and personal authenticity. For us boomers who can no longer backpack or handle long trips you provide a most welcome, if vicarious, return to our more adventurous past. You may not have the most subscribers but the ones who have stuck around are loyal, true blue cyber friends. 😊

[@JeanSchermerhorn]

My camper had an electric jack screw for lifting the trailer tongue. It started to fail so I took it apart only to find the long twisty thing needed some simple grease to help it turn. Now it works fine!

[@zonacrs]

After 5 years I doubt quit is in you Catherine, we all go through periods of self reflection or doubt. It is part of what makes us human. Only you can choose your path. That close up of the mountain range 1:29 into the video is breath taking. like the Gods reached down from above and haphazardly placed it there like we would our keys on the counter side ways. Would probably be at least a two cups of coffee moment for me, not sure why it struck me so. If you quit, scenes like that will be fewer and more familiar. Happy birthday.

[@joemiles6917]

Happy birthday Cat!

[@roadtriplover.]

TIP: Mobile RV techs are an amazingly valuable help for RV repairs when on the road. I’ve engaged one in multiple locations and I’ve never had a bad experience.

I travel in a 23 ft.motorhome, the fridge door fell off, as the plastic where the hinge pin fit, I was able to find a handy man in town, all ok now. I go to a knitting group at home and a friend said my hair looked good. I said I finally found someone to cut it like I want, me. I love your videos.

[@LifeIsBetterByTheBrook]

My dad was a full-timer for 20+ years. He would have stayed a nomad, but his health and age required him to leave the lifestyle. He LOVED being on the road. I think if his health would have been better, he would have stayed. He began his nomad journey in '92.

[@Pinkfairy21]

Happy Birthday 🎂 I have to admit I’ll be pretty sad when you quit KZbin. I save your videos for when I climb into bed on Sunday nights. They relax me and help me not to think about work in the morning. God bless and happy adventures 🌲

Been full time RVing for 6 years. I understand what you mean by community. We go to Florida in the winter at a resort for 4-5 months and I feel like I’m in a neighborhood and get to see friends I’ve met again and do other things:pickleball, bike riding, quilting, dances etc. then come March we begin traveling and following the weather again. Just staying in one place for 4 months in beautiful weather helps. We enjoy watching you.

Thanks for the insight into some of your thoughts about road life - it’s not all rainbows and unicorns! After finding the nice scenic campsite (often hard to come by) there’s the “now what?” - there still needs to be something to do, and beyond that, a satisfaction and alrightness that overcomes the loneliness and questions “what am I doing out here exactly?” day after every single day. I appreciate seeing/hearing you work through it some in this video.

Sorry for your roof issues. As a decades long RVer, I always have a caulking gun with both silicone and Dicor. Dicor (for RV use) in particular is for roof use and has fixed or prevented many an issue. I saw you had gorilla tape, which often handy along with teflon tape for plumbing.

The liquid (urethane) seal for small cracks (it can be brushed on) and makes a strong glue if you have time to let it cure, the flex caulk is a silicone product I sealed my leaking trailer roof vent with and the flex tape is especially handy - durable and super strong adhesive. I keep all three handy for "just in case".
