Not the day I had planned / Solo van life camping in the woods

[@NoraFlores-tn3eq]

more time for what ? ... doing nothing just finding places to sleep ? What a life!" If you had a real job you would be better off but you rather live off of and depending on people's $$$ sorry Emmy it is what it is happy 2025 take care of yourself and kelly.

[@ThecatladyVAN]

Maybe you should know that I have a real job and I don't depend on anyone's money. But bye bye Nora. Nobody needs your judgement here

[@iamgiggleflowers]

You don't know our Em. Judging will get you judgment

[@jackieschneider7354]

I bought a rv van, Pleasureway, and wanted to travel and enjoy like you. I have several pensions so I don’t need anything else. BUT I am too afraid to do it😂. I worry if I have a breakdown, or flat tire or get lost 😂. You are a special person, extremely brave and work hard to provide us with information and enjoyment. Negative Nellies can just go watch somewhere else, and not upset themselves over your success.❤

[@katc7765]

Wow!! What a nasty and unnecessary comment!!

[@katc7765]

Emi, I hope you​ blocked that nasty person. Your videos are lovely to watch and you take me places that I will never otherwise get to see. That is very valuable to me and I am sure many others feel the same way.

[@RosrShafer]

Emi, from what I see in the videos I watch on youtube, making these videos is a lot of work. Setting up shots, walking back and forth for each scene, all the time editing, and probably things that I am not even aware that you have to do. I am sure you work just as hard as any job to make a living. I admire you. You are very talented. I appreciate you.

[@lindamasters7860]

I’m a full time single female traveller in Australia, one thing I was taught before hitting the road 6 years ago was……when you park always park facing towards OUT…..

[@margarethutchens5463]

I do that in parking lots too.

[@harrypottah8889]

Love to anyone reading this, second week of the year lets keep up the good work, and if you didn’t meet expectations this week, its ok you still got tomorrow! Thanks for the content Emi and Kelly!

[@Purple-Haze33]

I just love watching Kelly enjoying her ride and how she sits looking out as you drive ❤

[@ettaplace6716]

Yes… darling Kelley started to get the zoomies!!

[@billkrueger7549]

Yup! Relax and enjoy we don't do it often enough ... kitty is happy.

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

It's such a lovely relaxing video. Thanks, Emmy.😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Emilyagnes-yb8fn]

Dido... Thank you.

[@Lonnwriting]

I enjoy your style of telling your adventures in back-country. Hi to kitty Kelly, for me- from me.

[@danstafford6536]

Those were termites with wings they're called swarmers... they will make a nest in the rotten wood and shed their wings.

[@Retired-t3w]

Omg

[@Neb.333]

Hi Emi, wishing you a wonderful new year!!!

[@sharonlea786]

So relaxing to hear Kelly purring at the end.

[@Lizloc2567]

Thanks, Emi! I always default to watching your calming vids to relax. Hanging out with you is my ASMR🥰

[@darlenemiller847]

KELLY IS SO HAPPY AND HEALTHY. MAKES MY HEART HAPPY.🧚‍♀️ BE SAFE🙏🩷🩷🐾

[@moiratimmons8755]

Lol we all have those days where it takes three times longer to get stuff done, and at the end of the day all one has really accomplished is having a shower or getting the dishes done. I love the driving through the green woods and seeing Kelly getting her "seat bongos" :) Your van looks absolutely awesome, even when its muddy! I vote for sausage and mushroom quesadillas!

[@JF_Hudson]

Tell Miss Kitty that she should not be nipping and driving! Love your accent and speechisms! You remind me of Southern Louisiana Cajun Chef and Humorist, Justin Wilson, who we used to watch on TV in the 90s He was famous for his Cajun cooking and his Cajun accent in telling his hilarious stories!

[@goddess7713]

Hope you guy's are warm❤❤

[@danstafford6536]

I think mud flaps is a good idea... it helps keep the mud off a Tailgaters.

[@Lisaedayzz]

Hi Emi & Kelly! Your pasta looks so yummy! ❤️ Have an amazing day, my friend! 😊

[@maschwab63]

One Pot Pasta I developed in the early 1990-93. Throw in the spaghetti and sauce and enough water to cover, heat until sauce regains normal thickness. Eat out of pot.

[@nlt10016]

@maschwab63 • I Love one pot dishes just like this one,,

[@patriciatoombs4651]

The plant you pointed out is Salal. It is an evergreen bush and has some medicinal benefits. I live in Tenmile Oregon and have 10 acres with Salal growing on it. Sometimes they harvest it to put in flower arrangements, but only in spring when the new leaves come out to avoid brown or black spots on the leaves. Love your channel on KZbin.

[@GDixon-ch3yl]

Kelly is always living her best life. ❤

[@VaguelyMeandering]

Thank you for sharing your life with us. I watch many nomads, vanlifers, etc., and yours is the life I most want to have...not the KZbin channel stuff, that's too much work for me, but the quiet, back-country life with your beloved kitty. There is something very soothing about a cat purring and I love when Miss Kelly purrs. Take good care of yourself and please don't let the negative Nora's get you down. ❤😻

[@susidavis8457]

Your videos are amazing. You are such an inspiration to me. I love watching you and Kelly. Thanks for sharing.

[@CyclingKCV]

I have been plant-based since 2013 and have 3 cats. Your simple cooking inspires me. Please keep up what you are doing. Give Kelly a big tight hug from another cat lover from Kansas City Missouri USA

[@garycordle5295]

Thanks for the video Emmy, and the all the work you do putting these videos together,it calms me down and helps my blood pressure enjoying you traveling around and cooking all the great food 👍be safe you and Kelly kitty and stay warm 🙏

[@naomijohnson2395]

You throw together some tasty looking meals on your single burner stove. Beautiful campsite!

[@guestguest5128]

Stay safe ❤ Wish you and Chrome would travel together again. I love the vlogs with the both of you together ❤❤ Maybe one day 😌

[@gabsy6443]

In Italy they sell pasta pans with strainers that fit the pan. You have two strainers, you can cook the pasta in one and the veggies in another.

[@sheilabartlett6044]

Great video Emi, so peaceful and calm, I love the lake. And Miss Kelly I love to hear her purring. Stay safe on your travels.

[@simple-277]

Stay warm you and Kelly and stay safe . ❤

[@Heartofgoldhandsarecold]

Good to see you Emi! Your dish looked delicious! Thank you for sharing your life ans mother nature. Loves to Ms. Kelly Kitty. Peace, love, light, protection and Blessings.

[@user-freebird49]

I had to laugh because I buy lots of groceries but when it comes time for a meal I never really am happy with what I try to cook. Summers are easy, just make lots of salads with variety. Your meals always look good

[@Shihtzu99]

Awww Kelly sleeping on passenger seat ❤

[@annapacatang5079]

I love how you are so creative with your cooking, Emi. That looked so yummy 😋

[@disneydianne1716]

[@raytailor9251]

Thanks for sharing! Your meal looked amazing.

[@diannespinney7846]

Funny you mentioned the leaves. Driving to your spot looked like fall not winter. Thanks so much for what you do. Love it.

[@Cynthia-z8z]

That place is so beautiful.

[@christophgrail]

Hello Emi and Kelly, Have a nice coming weekend and stay warm! Many greetings from Styria, AUSTRIA 🇦🇹, Christoph 🤗❤😻

Hey Emi that was a fun video beautiful camp spot you guys found. Thanks for sharing you and Kelli. You guys always make my day. Be safe out there and stay warm.🇺🇸♥️👍🙏🐈‍⬛🙂🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@danstafford6536]

She always talks about going into the backcountry... they have aftermarket off-road LED light bars amber... for better visibility... hunters and fishermen have them.

[@rhampton10]

The waxy green leaves that you commented on is called salal. It is an evergreen and used commonly by florists.

[@LSChestersMom]

so much to be grateful for

[@Banagal]

It is so peaceful and beautiful there. Your meal looked so yummy!

[@IrisRoque-xv6mj]

Enjoyed relaxing with your video after hectic day at work.

[@jackie7916]

Relax Emi and enjoy life, it's real short. East Tennessee is expecting Winter Storm tomorrow. I enjoy your rainy day videos. Stay safe and warm. 😊

[@doris1826]

I do6live in a van but I do the same thing. I start with onions celery & carrots OR peppers & onions . Add a protein. Throw in a rice or quinoa...some sort of hummus...it always comes out yummy!

[@DonnaGolbek]

Love your campsite beautiful

[@storiesfromhinterland]

Makes me say ooh when Kelly holds on the front seat while you drive 🥰

[@kathleencomyn5228]

That lake was such a calming place 😍

[@danstafford6536]

Watching the cat ladies Vlogs makes me more familiar with Canada... I've also noticed there's a great similarity between Canada and the lower States... I have used a Canadian ATMs... very interesting, withdrawing money they give you the rate of Exchange in Canadian money.

[@kathyanderson1509]

Kelly is full of spunk playing in the seat, love it

[@Retired-t3w]

Hi Emi and Kellie, I love pasta too😊Stay safe and warm from USA

[@Sam-f1k8e]

Emi, the hours of daylight are increasing a minute or two a day.😊

[@Shihtzu99]

Tonight I am going to make something from your cook book. I love the one pan recipes

[@Ms.Frankenbuilder]

That food looked awesome, now I'm hungry.

[@sashal4927]

You can also enjoy some candle light musical shows or winter light festivals if you are in the mood. Those are wonderful productions.

[@HannaloreJohnson]

That meal looked so yummy!! Beautiful to stay!! ❤ your videos!!

[@BethDoublekickChick]

I love when you make food you really enjoy and you make the "this is so yummy" sound 😂 Beautiful video Emi 💜

[@carolineellis4961]

I am inpressed with your still photography Emi.

[@mariad5420]

Emi, I know you like to face the beauty that is water and nature but I'd wish you'd consider always backing in so that in the event of an emergency and you need to get out quickly, you can just start your van and drive off rather than have to back out. Especially if it's dark out. Just a thought. Your videos are often filled with beautiful scenery. Kelly is just a sweetheart of a kitty. Stay safe.

[@MelH-jg9jq]

Ilove your content, Emmy!!! You're currently in my home town ❤ Welcome , my fellow vanlifer ❤

[@LoganYeates-b8z]

Good morning

[@pattycarretta4818]

What a great tip on how to cook pasta for a single serving without using too much water! Thank you! 😊

[@nailazion3113]

Hello Emi and Kelly

[@sashal4927]

Keep going Emi, you are a good example how life can be this simple, and enjoy the nature every moment you like. I want to order your photos n book but I don’t want any hard copy, will wait when you have digital downloads. I tend not to keep anything so when I leave this world there is not a trace left. Live light n happy! (Not the way your friend C is going, keep your simplistic style n you are in abundance of everything ❤heart full of ❤❤❤ to you n Kelly.

[@donnanichols6838]

Sweet dreans and safe travels, girl's ❤🎉

[@andyrichey1192]

Hello cat lady and kitty I’m watching 2:41 PM Thursday, January 8. Wow what a beautiful spot.👍👍😎

[@RetiredLife825]

I make hummus home made . I understand about people comments, I get people from Mexico telling me how I am cooking my shells wrong lol. That looks great 👍

[@bwright5520]

the lake is pretty

[@annapasley592]

Nice relaxing video Emi.

[@Yvonneb_]

Great video Emi and Miss Kelly ❤❤ xx

[@Emilyagnes-yb8fn]

I think you do an awesome job cooking. Awesome 👍. Pasta and all 😊

[@joannegerrard9414]

maybe those bugs on the log were termites??

[@moiratimmons8755]

@joannegerrard9414 most likely carpenter ants. Very early emerging adults, looking to mate. Carpenter ants don't eat wood, but they tunnel in it where it's moist. Its an important role in the temperate rainforest. Or we would be surrounded by stumps and logs from all the ages! Carpenter ants and the other decomposers (other insects like beetles, or molds, fungi, worms, and bacteria and more) break down organic matter so the nutrients can be used by other plants.

[@dorissummers5864]

Hello Emi and Kelly I really like your videos 😊

[@valeriaproductions]

I love watching your channel❤

[@andyrichey1192]

Looks like they liked your dinner also😁 they need to eat. Appreciate the video always enjoy, well I’ll watch for the next one👀👀 you and Kitty enjoy the rest of your day until next time. Peace and chicken grease😁👍👍👋👋😎

[@Shihtzu99]

Pesto sauce would be great w that meal as well!

[@gabsy6443]

I love hummus so much that I learnt to make my own. 😊

[@Shihtzu99]

Looks delicious!!!!!

[@debyarger3084]

Emi, i eat your potatoes, onions, and hummus at least once a month, if not more. So satisfying!!

[@virginiajorgensen8614]

I’m going to try to do a pasta like that. Thanks. That looks like a nice place to be.

[@gotsteem]

Must have been much quieter than Oyster Bay rest area..

Do watch out for big cats when out and about.😊

[@Shihtzu99]

13:57 those bugs are really bad this year.

[@carolineellis4961]

Thanks!

[@ThecatladyVAN]

Thank you so much Caroline! Have a beautiful day

[@cathywarriner]

Hi Emi, it's funny seeing my hometown in your videos, you probably won't even see this post, or if you do you could be long gone but just in case you do, I'd love to meet up for a coffee if you like. I believe that the plant you seen is Salal. Salal is a medium-sized shrub with glossy, leathery oval leaves with pointed tips and white bell-shaped flowers in early spring. It is native to the Pacific Northwest, and its attractive leaves are prized for floral arrangements. In the summer, the clusters of black berries that appear are edible and loved by birds. Safe travels ❤

[@ResPieces]

that looks sooooo good!

[@wendyrobertson-c6m]

Hi Emi and Kelly! I'm not a vegitarian, but I could happily have eaten what you made because everything in the pan was my kind of good eats, except the plant based sausage. I've tried on numerous occasions to use meatless products, but there is something in the formula that just doesnt agree with my stomach. It's every different brand, so I'm thinking its maybe whatever binder they use to keep it together? Ive made my own meatless sausages and dont have a problem with them. Any suggestions for an off brand????? Is your cookbook in digital form or paperback? Ok so have you communicated with Jeffie Bear? Was hoping we could get a bit more info on his stroke as in does he have full use of his arms and stumps so he can move back and forth from bed to chair? I know they are asking for prayers and privacy but i was kind of hoping you had talked to him or Chrome maybe has? Happy trails and safe travels!

[@pipe2devnull]

That pasta looks delish.😊

[@JUSLUKING]

Enjoy your day,,,, that comment from that person.she need to get a life,so person are not happy and you are and that's all that matter,,keep on Truckin and camping....👍👍✌

[@JustinShelton-l3q]

Salal is the bush u talking about. The berries are edible!! The natives called them dog berries

[@denisemckiver69]

Do you ever have a day that goes exactly as you expect it to? Those rarely happen in my world no matter how hard I try to plan ahead. So now I plan for the unexpected to surprise me and I'm seldom disappointed. ❤😊

[@andyrichey1192]

Sure looks good from here👍👍😎
