Ain’t no way in hell I’d be out there camping alone. It’s too crazy out here for that! Young ladies getting snatched up left to right. Please be safe!

[@justjudy7320]

Please tell me when was the last person woman anywhere in this country that was abducted hurt attacked in an established campground? You might wanna learn to clear the channel between your head and your gut and then you can feel the warning that comes from your higher self through your neurological system. When you feel that channel full of the crap, you just spewed, you can’t feel the warning. It’s called gut instinct, and why on earth she would go camping out in the woods and then be frustrated by their no cell service.

[@mferguson5215]

I have no words. As a young, attractive Black Woman, this is extremely dangerous. Where are the older adults or adults period in her family or friends, that would tell her this is dangerous. I can't believe this.

[@Takingajourney_]

It's seriously not that dangerous. Have you ever been camping? It's not that bad. Also I'm 34 and can handle myself as I've always done.

[@Takingajourney_]

Camping is not for everyone, but it's for me and I know how to do it and be safe. Women have always gotten snatched up, you can't stop living because of the fear of what might happen. At least that's not how I live my life.

[@justjudy7320]

@@mferguson5215 well some of those older adults would be part of the butterfly tribe on KZbin and Facebook. About 5,000 women of all ages 1/3 of them are full-time van life 1/3 of them just get together with everybody and the other is 1/3 or wannabes. I can guarantee you every damn one of them women would tell her to have a blast and to follow her gut. But they would also tell her to get a starlink or not try to upload while you're out camping camping is to get away from things not Chase cell service

Next time you want to open a can w/o a can opener and w/o using a box cutter you can take the can and rub it on the concrete until it heats up then you'll beable to pop the top off, like opening a tupperware lid.

[@seanwalker7160]

Being a former OTR driver for 23 years my advice to you is to think safety first over everything. I get it your doing your thing but don't forget the world we live in you need a eat ass dog or some form of protection I always stayed strapped when I was driving all over the country just be safe

I pray you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am a mother with a grown daughter, and I understand and tell her safely first. I pray that The LORD Jesus Christ keeps you safe and protected. I am also happy to know that you are packing. Enjoy your life and adventures. We can not live life in fear (false evidence appearing real), yet my husband and I believe, especially in this day and time, always let someone know where you are or where you are going, just in case. I, too, love adventure and look forward to your next video. Stay safe and enjoy your adventures ❤❤❤

[@April_Patrice]

I like watching your videos but listen, take a good look at your van, girl. It's a creeper van. I wouldn't park near it either. I'm not trying to be funny but it looks like those kind of vans that they use to kidnap people, seriously.

[@Takingajourney_]

Good then hopefully most people will stay away from it

[@lovinpeace394]

Just a suggestion...Super dangerous out there alone by yourself, especially trying to cook food when it's dark. Forget the dog. You seriously need a 'pew-pew'. People are coming up missing all the time. Please be careful. I was seriously nervous for you in this video. You need a device where you always have connection with someone so that they will know your location. Too much stuff is going on in society right now.

[@Takingajourney_]

Thanks for your concern, but I always take safety precautions when I'm out camping not sure if you're new to my channel but I do have a firearm. I'm 34, and know how to handle myself. I appreciate all the concern and tips but no one cares more for my safety than me. I can't stop living because life is crazy. Trust me I'm safe enough.

[@lovinpeace394]

@Takingajourney_ What a nice surprise!😊 My comment derived from a level of kindness, sincerity, & concern. (I believe that you felt that.) You are beautiful & certain idiots react in not such a great way if they have the slightest thought that you're alone. Sometimes, there may be more than one working together. I don't know you at all & simply stumbled upon your channel & was intrigued how you are choosing to live van-life...Interesting. I unsubscribed ONLY because I thought you stated that you were taking an unspecified, well-deserved time away from your channel for the new year. Some things you say are quite funny. Your cooking is really the thing that really caught my attention.. Albeit I will never criticize how anyone decides to live their own lives because, it is quite honestly, everyone's decision 😊. I AM SOOOO happy that you have a firearm. 👍👍👍🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 YEESSSSSS!!! Ok! Go anywhere you like!!😊😊 Have a beautiful morning!!
