I camped alone for the first time and DIDN'T DIE

[@makariespe]

Does anyone have any solo camping tips or must dos for when I go out and do this again? 🤔

[@debbiemah6746]

Tell someone you’re going! Safety safety!

[@Tam-Solo70]

Build your own shelter camp trip!

[@featherfluent1109]

you need to do some bird watching

[@pink.fluffy.unicorn011]

Have fun❤

[@noseo_narug]

I'm very late, but I have the same (or similar) sleeping mat. I find that the best way to fill the inflation bag is to just to grab the opening and flap it around until it's pulled in some air. It doesn't feel super efficient but it's better than the way the instructions say!

[@ΝτόραΛάμη]

Coming from the cardio video. 😀 I just wish you had a gaaaaziiillion videos for me to binge watch! You're amazing, keep it up!!💫💜

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! That means a lot 😄❤

I discovered your channel with the “cardio” video and am now binge watching everything on your channel! As others have said: I was fully expecting a channel with millions of subscribers and views because of the quality of your videos! Your edits, your sense of humor, and the content itself of course: educational, entertaining and even moving/inspirational at times! I can’t wait to see what you do next! Also: the swim definitely counts! With winter plunges you’re supposed to stay in water 1 second per degree (Celsius) of the water. So if the water was 10°C you should stay approx 10 seconds, which is shorter than what you did I think? So yay you!

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this comment 😍 And yay me for swimming! 😂

[@JG-ij6is]

Hi Makari, I just came across your channel this week. Love your sense of humor and content. Loving the videos and the podcast because I’m near your dad’s age, I too have had the big cardiac event and I have a daughter just bit older than you. I also live in the area and it’s fun to say, I know that spot.

[@jackietann]

"any type of tired I was feeling is gone because I'm staring at the sun!"😂😂😂 Mikari you are wonderfully hilarious! Such a great video and I can't wait to binge the rest.

[@trex6142]

"If I can't hear it, it can't kill me.". Genius!

[@makariespe]

😆 my life's motto tbh

[@-GeneralAladeen-]

This is hilarious and as others have said, you have a great sense of humor. Keep up the good work!

[@makariespe]

Thank you so much! :)

[@ameliaurquhart14]

5 Fun Rocks is going to be my new fun camping game!! 😆

[@makariespe]

Its a good one 😆

[@crewdog6969]

It will be fun to see where you go with your channel... Hoping its a camping thing for you.. Fun personality and great energy

[@makariespe]

Thank you! There will definitely be more camping/exploring.

[@eliasalias7850]

Nice video! You have a great sense of humor! Cheers

[@makariespe]

Thank you so much!

[@SweetLifeLanta]

Im gonna watch all your videos slowly. Youre such a talented film maker. Would you like to tell us more about yourself and film-making? Im so curious! How come you're so good already but just started on this channel? Please tell us more!

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! I really appreciate the kind words ❤ And I've always made videos - I just didn't post all of them. So I have lots of practice! :) I'd like to make a video answering some film questions in the future :)

[@Leindy3]

Love this video, so high quality and fun and wholesome :) Seeking discomfort always pays off, you're a reminder of that!

[@makariespe]

Thank you! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙌

[@keeblem1]

Fun video - with fun rocks! That's a double whammy!

[@makariespe]

You gotta love the fun rocks

[@debbiemah6746]

Definitely smiled at her entertaining herself by looking for fun rocks! ‘A Heckin fun rock!’ 😂❤

[@internationalrainsounds]

Great video!

[@makariespe]

Thank you!

[@keltheb]

Fun girl. Good luck :)

[@makariespe]

Thank you!

[@suzannawilson9275]

Have a little clippie to attach your tent zippers from inside so they can't be opened easily - it's flimsy, but still gives a wee bit more security. And I agree wholeheartedly with "if I can't hear it it can't kill me." 😂 I'm writing this whilst on a solo bike packing/camping trip and I literally reasoned like that yesterday in my tent. 👏

[@menschenskinners.]

In your channel description you wrote the goal was to leave the channel thinking and feeling better and I gotta say good job! I feel great! Gonna continue with my day now, watching this felt like an actual nice break instead of mindless scrolling. Thanks a lot❤

[@Dimbimbus]

Congrats!! Def not an easy feat and you done it alone 😊

[@makariespe]

Thank you so much! :) It feels good to have crossed it off of the "things I'm terrified of" list.

[@Dimbimbus]

I am seriously impressed! I still get hefty anxiety about becoming bear food every time I go out but all you can do is be cautious and get after it. And look at you already planning your next campy trip :D :D

[@makariespe]

@@Dimbimbus Oh I knooow. I'm a big baby when it comes to bears. I solo camped in my car for the first time the other night and felt much safer, albeit more cramped 😆 (shameless plug, I made a video about the experience)

[@Dimbimbus]

@@makariespe hahahah sameee tho, I already have a game plan if that encounter happens, hopefully not tho! Shame! 😛 I may or may not have already tuned in & loving what you're doing! I'm currently on a similar path, getting my truck bed setup so I can haul my booty to Alaska!

[@kjmav10135]

I found you, like, two days ago, and I keep coming back to you. These are fab videos. Keep it up! You’re channel is going to explode. In a good way.

[@Ugottobkidding]

That was awesome!! Fun and almost educational.

[@makariespe]

Thank you for the note! Going forward I will keep education in mind. I want to be able to provide as much value as I can :)

[@klaudiagaeunkim]

You're that one kid that would survive the end of the world 😅 I enjoyed watching this vid a lot, though could have been longer ^^

[@YourOldPalCal]

Very happy your channel made it's way into my algorithm, really enjoy all the ones I've watched so far!

[@hannahboebanna]

1:44 I LOVE YOUR EDITING STYLE!!!

[@makariespe]

😆 THANK YOU!!

[@bchurchill49]

Love seeing you get back to making movies!!!

[@makariespe]

Same! 😆

[@Lifeinthewyldewest]

I found you on a comment you made on Aprilynne Alters video “how to make killer thumbnails. You’re making killer thumbnails cause I want to watch ALL your videos. you’re super entertaining and your edits are rad. I’m so glad I found you. I have no doubt your channel will succeed. You inspire me to work harder and make better content. Let’s both keep going❤

[@makariespe]

Awe thank you for coming over to my channel! And I really appreciate the kind words about my thumbnails; it's all thanks to Aprilynne to be honest. All of your comments mean so much to me and I definitely needed them today. Agreed - let's keep going.

[@nacerbo]

hope this one go viral it's a great video it's sad there is only 2 videos

[@makariespe]

I'm REALLY looking forward to the day a video of mine goes viral (fingers crossed). As of now, I'm working on posting as many quality videos as possible :)

[@nacerbo]

@@makariespe I think you should consider adding a shorts content strategy if you are serious about blowing up on KZbin; it will help you gain more impressions for your long videos and gain an audience even without that I truly believe you will have ur viral moment. P.S. I've grown 2 channels before one to over 450k subs with long videos alone and the second one to over 1 million subs from shorts so I know a thing or 2 about KZbin content creation hehe.

[@annoar9776]

omg that would be my worst nightmare but you did it! :D

[@kenfreeman8888]

That was a fun video. Glad you survived. :-)

[@makariespe]

Same!!

[@Ecesu]

I can't describe how much I love this channel ❤

[@armellevdv]

I just came from the cardio video and you inspire me to do things on my own!!!!! Keep going!!!!!

[@madeiraislander]

KZbin recommendations finally got one right! This video was amazing, loved it! Great channel Makari, best of luck to you and keep that smile and sense of humour! 💯

[@presentpossible]

what sort of campsite is this with a flat platform??? half the fun of camping is lying on the lumpy ground

[@jameswright549]

Lots of energy, personality and easy on the eyes. Recipe for success.
