As a father of 4 girls ( Young ladies), I'm both fascinated and horribly afraid watching your adventures. Be safe and God bless.

A woman who sings while cooking....wonderful........

[@chrisgentry7195]

You was talking about problems with your bike, and it reminded me when I was younger, I was following my step brother on his motorcycle. He had been drinking a little and ended up laying the bike over. No one was hurt, but the bike wouldn't start with the push button starter. We was out in the country on a paved road, so we decided I would push him and he would try to dump the clutch and start it that way. I'm very stubborn, so I pushed him over and over again, and he tried many times, but the bike wouldn't start. I was young, so I probably pushed him a mile before I was finally winded enough to tell him it was his turn to push me. I got on the bike and immediately noticed that the little flip switch was not turned to the "run" position. It was amazing how when I turned it to run, the bike started with the starter. All that effort... But in the end, like your loose battery wire, it is nice that it was something simple.

[@markdemedeiros3239]

Emma you have accomplished more with a bus that is halfway done than many bus lifers that have completed their rigs....hat tip to you Emma for your success. 👍👍👍🎯

[@grays5112]

I've binge watched this channel for the last 4 hours and I have to say I have the utmost admiration for you exploring in the Bus, I came across this as the you-tube algorithm must have seen me watching "Monkey bike" vids and recommended the channel, and it takes me back 40 years when I was between jobs and relocating and myself and wife rented a tumbledown "motorhome" and toured Scotland, what fun we had, and after relocating to southern England, 6 weeks later, my wife announced the pregnancy of our first child, so a great bonus (not suggesting you do that LOL) But living your life on your own terms is what it's all about, and I have really enjoyed watching these vids. I'm on my own now, both my sons and my wife have sadly passed away, and I ride motorcycles everyday in Wales UK, Life can be hard, so use all your available time to enjoy yourself and live life to the full, here one second, gone the next, take care and kind regards from Wales UK.

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

glad to have you here 😊

[@francoisg1393]

Seeing you this happy is amazing. How fitting that your book seems to say "Floating girls" as you were floating yourself. Grace is overrated. We love our clumsy Emma! ❤️

[@leonhart2452]

When you drop your bike it's easier to pick back up if you turn the front wheel toward the side thats down. This lifts the bike up a few inches. Now hold the bars by the lower side hand grip with one hand, put your other hand back on the frame by the seat or just behind. Put your behind on the seat, then push with your legs.picking it up by just using the handle bars can bend them. Your legs are the strongest muscles you have. It may take a few tries to get the knack of doing it. Once you learn this technique you can pick up heavy bikes with no problems.

[@littlebear7018]

Leon, thank you for your comment since it's the most useful one I've read in a very long time: thanks again!

[@59eurobug]

Emma, there are luggage racks on ebay for the Monkey for easier transport of goods.

[@itzbishop5256]

Quick tip, poop fumes can be eliminated with saw dust dumped in!

[@stuartlee7201]

I cried..watching you...you lucky girl...happy for you.🇦🇺

[@johntossing624]

You really have a beautiful voice. Please share more of that talent. Thank you.

[@BobLHedd]

I found this delightful: a pleasant contrast to the rest of my week. What a great way to start the weekend.

[@neilchilds7555]

Emma please don’t change you have that cheeky smile when you’ve got your place near the lake and your beaming smile when it all comes together be your self keep thos feet grounded enjoy every moment these are your memories being your self I would like to know why a young man hasn’t come to his senses and snapped you up safe travels see you on next video

[@TroyDeanOnTheRoad]

Bungee straps are a menace! Enjoy the rawness of your adventure. Thanks for showing everything you do. Safe travels.

[@catieb450]

OMG that place is gorgeous

[@troyjohnston3218]

Emma, you remind me so much like my daughter, kinda messy, a tad bit scattered in thought, has a total heart of gold. And I think that’s why I love watching your videos. Oh and you have a pretty good singing voice would love to hear more of it

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

thank you 😊

[@mlcvideosatbp]

@@EmmaBuildsBirbie hello Emma. Just noticed on your video. The lock on your fridge, it needs to be rotated 😊. Enjoy your bus life adventure.

[@leonhart2452]

A window latch would work to hold your fridge door. That's what I use to hold the one in my camper shut.

[@GiMom19]

EMMA “Grace” 🙌🏻🤣🥰💗 We love you and all your quirky things. That’s why I love to watch your channel. Keep it real 😉

[@chrisfolkharmonicaplayer6292]

if you make it to Oregon, try Clear Lake . At Salem head east on 22 . You'll see signs to it when you get close to Santiam pass. The lake is so clear , you can see the bottom in many places.

[@Valicyn]

Emma you make me excited to start my journey in the bus. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@ydfonzgaming7844]

Nice Young Lady - singing OLD songs :) good on you - Stay safe out there !!

[@JB-dz1zc]

Hilarious opening segment!! Had me in tears laughing. Emma, this as of now is the 2nd best video you've made to date. The best video was your first drive of the bus!!! Everything looked Beautiful where you're at! Keep up the great times, then show them off!!!🏄 🏊 🚃 🎻

That looks like a great spot. The travel vlog is amazing.

[@rlmast]

I don't think I have ever seen so much joy in one episode before! Awesome place

[@ryankelly5303]

Awesome Job Emma. I love seeing your videos.

[@dieseldave564]

Emma, they make luggage racks for the Honda Monkey. You will find a lot of aftermarket stuff online in the $150.00 range. real easy bolt on upgrade for you. It would make it a lot more utilitarian for your uses.

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

I’ll have to find one!

[@lisabramos9427]

You seem so happy, enjoy and stay safe.

[@0JennySays0]

Emma, I just love your videos, they are the highlight of my week. I love how you keep it real and I love seeing you so happy. I started watching a couple of months ago and it's so nice to see your dream turned into reality and you're just too cute and funny. Keep keeping it real. Can't wait to see what's next. :)

[@PeterVred]

What the perfect setup you have! Enjoyed this first video.

[@revolutioniscoming]

So so cool seeing how far you've come with all this. Seeing you smile is amazing ! Can't wait til the next upload.. Love from Nashville'TN

[@florathebus5873]

Your adventures are helping me get through the slog of my bus build. It’s perfect that they come out on Friday as I’m about to get into a weekend of bus work. That looks like an incredible spot and I hope you got to stay and enjoy for as long as possible ❤️

[@marciashedeck6342]

Emma I love sharing in your pure joy! even when things go wonky you find the joy. I love how your having so much fun just living life that you dont know what day it is!!! lol Thank you for sharing ❣

[@davidroberts5577]

Looks awesome young lady, enjoy 🌼👍

[@Snipedog1978]

I have to say that this has by far been one of the nicest spots you have been to yet. I am so jealous of the great time you are having, but at least I get to see it through your videos. Can’t wait to see the next one.

[@lawrenceperham256]

that water looks very inviting. awesome job.

[@norm5785]

You are a very determined, committed, capable, confident and creative woman. I really enjoy your planning and execution style. You certainly have a good time and when you have children am pretty sure they will never ever be bored. They will be on some adventure in the family room or outside somewhere. Stay safe and healthy, from Henrico County Virginia..

[@steve318k]

You look so relaxed and so happy ! What a beautiful smile 😁😁😁😁!! Enjoy these stress free days !!

[@carls4552]

[@randyrandolph9709]

[@69novaguy]

You found an amazing spot. Enjoy!!!❤❤

[@normak63]

Emma you need to attach a milk crate or something similar with a bungee cord to your motor bike to hold your laundry or shopping etc keep having a great time and living your dream x

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@kbsingleton]

[@rubieallee]

So happy I found you on here. ❤

[@donwyates]

Wow, that was a really beautiful area. Projects are a lot more fun (and sometimes challenging) when you're out in nature.

[@kannieschrijfnie2042]

It is Saturday morning 10:00 am and I have watched this episode which made me feel as if I was camping at that lake. Just one week ago I was on a inflatable paddle board myself for the first time ever and I couldn’t gracefully stand on the board let alone jump of it. Enjoy your vacation and stay safe 👍🇳🇱

[@SpyderGarage]

Late commenting but have to say you’ve boosted our motivation to complete the bus my stepdaughter and I are building together! And side note: I absolutely love the music you use - am especially a big fan of Volcan Peaks and the song “Hard To Let Go” you used in this one. ❤️

[@richardboyce4921]

your smile and laugh of joy just appreciating the beautiful life you have, is contagious. thank you for sharing and please stay safe.

[@lexyschuetze]

Watching your videos make me so happy and so excited to start my skoolie journey! 🥰 thank you for taking us along on your adventure

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@joeyyoung1279]

Great video as always. Drone shots would be AWSOME in those areas. Can’t wait for your next video 🚎🏍

[@tofftheboss6954]

I'm so happy when your vlog appears. You are happy like you wanted to be when you started this journey and it's great to view. You make me happy too. Thanks for sharing.

[@Shel731]

Wow you are so happy Emma, like this has changed you from what I perceived as frustrated to now free and genuinely content with all the world has to offer you , the sheer beauty of nature and freedom has made you smile from ear to ear! I love it for you. Keep up what you're doing because it looks good on ya girl

[@dougintothesunset]

You're looking pretty content there in the woods Emma . . . . Good job!!

[@karylm23]

For all that struggle you were enduring to get your bus set up, I'm so happy you're finally having some time to rejuvenate, relax and find your JOY. It's so fun to watch you do projects, but when I see you enjoying your summer... I'm living vicariously through you, lady! Also, check out Tideline to Alpine... I think you two would hit it off!

[@53221carvel]

I love your singing and choice if songs. Glad you didn’t get hurt on your spill. I don’t recover so well when I go down.

[@fredzoler2750]

Love that smile.

[@jeffreythomas9106]

My favorite KZbinr is back with another great video. I love this kid 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@CharlieRando]

Yesterday, I realized I had one Patsy Cline CD in my Astro Van camper player and another in my car player. I think I like it.

[@stevevine9950]

Hi Emma love how you just have a go. Don’t stress about dropping your bike, It happens and you’re only new to riding. I’ve been riding road bikes since I was 21 and I’m 55 now and still have dropped my current bike. The last time I dropped it I forgot to put the side stand down when I got off. How dumb is that lol.

[@johnhall6822]

I really love when I hear you singing you have such a beautiful voice it is so nice to hear people singing not many people do that anymore.

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Yay Calvin!! A good guy in my book!

[@edz5399]

Hi Emma, Wow !! What can I say that hasn’t been already said and done!! Congrats on your adventures, I like your bike riding skills, you’ll figure it out as you go along with the maintenance of your bike, but it’s always good to do a walk around to see what’s lose or broken. Stay safe out there, many blessings Emma.🙏🏽👍🏽✌🏽💛🇨🇱. Let’s Ride 😎!

[@craigtoups5786]

So enjoying your adventures on the road now. you seem so happy. keep singing Patsy Cline and the road will be smooth. Lol. You go girl!

[@hoani1000]

You are so refreshing to watch , lol I found myself laughing and feeling good after watching , you young lady seem very genuine and a pleasure to listen to , I'll have to subscribe for more , Have a great day.

[@alieneyes1]

The fall is so amazing. I enjoyed the scene 😄Bravo!

[@ceb7894]

Man nice place !!!! Looks like you had fun! Sweet young lady living the dream

[@bradpatrick5987]

YOU are highly entertaining! Love ya. Keep them coming.

[@PacificAirwave144]

Thanks for keeping the fall-over at the beginning in the video :-) Washington is so beautiful! De-schedule yourself and just enjoy it. Let the videos lag some and just enjoy it!

[@goodstuff]

You are so dreamy to me. Sorry I'm simping. I'm glad you are having a great time in WA and enjoying the bus! You are killin it.

[@andyd1563]

[@martyball2002]
