MAK GOES SOLO | FULL TIME OVERLANDING | A Day In The Life

[@mr.timjohnston546]

0:37 to 1:40 was absolutely delightful to watch

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you!

[@fastgurrrl]

I think you are great. Luna is badass. I am drooling over the Kimbo.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you!

[@jones328]

I like watching 'Day in the Life" videos to get an idea of a typical day.... Nice video; you are in some beautiful country. I also love your rig. I have a 2019 Tundra. Keep up the great work!

[@TresChica88]

Luna blended right in to those rocks!

[@BoundForNowhere]

I know she is high alpine camo!

[@Colorado4x4Van]

Buena Vista!? We and Everlanders were just up at Twin Lakes last weekend! For a trip idea: Vancouver Island, BC. There are many, many miles of Forest Service roads and beaches, forest, and river camp spots...all boon-docking and town is always close at hand. Could probably spend a month there.

[@BoundForNowhere]

We were up there like a year and a half ago. Vancouver Island is amazing! And how did we not know you all were so close?! Did you all ride out that weird snow storm too?

[@Colorado4x4Van]

@@BoundForNowhere We were up there the weekend before the storm. I assume that Jason and Kara have you on Google location share...maybe we were up there before you? I'm happy to hear that about Vancouver Island...it's our goal for next summer!

[@kellylapp4591]

I find that I am most creative when I alone. be alone can have it a good thing with it. have good day kelly.

[@growingwildheather]

OMG! I love it. Our morning routine in the van is coffee, take the cat for a walk. It's fun to start your day slow, and with a cat, you don't have much of a choice. Love seeing the casual chill vid. : ) Safe travels!

[@raquelrockysanchez]

I love these “regular day in a life” vlog type videos! Miss you too Owen! Love you Mak! ☺️

[@BoundForNowhere]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww your so sweet!

[@nicovanzyl1979]

Nico😍😘

[@adams2984]

I had to laugh when I saw the results of the rough road. Same happened to the gear in my trailer this weekend. Every roll of paper towels and toilet paper had unrolled!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Hahahahha that is so real! That happens to us too! We always take bets on how disheveled it will be!

[@pierogies_and_pie]

Another day in the life style of video? Love it! But you know what I love more? Those overalls!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

hahahha thank you! I love them too!

[@danglf7491]

It was very nice to see you in a vlog-like video! Hope to see more videos like this one!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

We do have some more coming down the pipeline!

[@HillbillyMusings]

Awesome video. Be safe!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thanks so much!

[@orrinbelcher6593]

It was a fun video, well done, supper looks ohh so good, love Luna she is the best, miss your side kick Owen also, ya’ll are a perfect match. Roxanne is perfect. Great video, superbly done. Just like riding along, beautiful country. Thanks for making it, super fun.

[@AbsoluteScotch]

Your truck is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the video.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much!

[@minhster714]

Insightful. Enjoyed it. I also park our truck, open the door to check if I'm within the lines. Lol

[@BoundForNowhere]

hahah right?! were too damn big to park like an ass hole ;)

[@streetrulz2863]

You have a great voice,very soothing🙏

[@BoundForNowhere]

You are so sweet! Thanks for that!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels to all.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you much!

[@grahamatsea3575]

Re the pans and cooking....... TEFAL to a range called Ingenio in the UK. They are non stick and all stack inside one another and the handles click on and off We use them in our campervan as space is limited. We've also bought a couple of frying pans. Their steamer design isn't too good but lucky for us a old steamer pan fitted perfectly onto the medium Ingenio pan. Love your set up.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Tefla makes so many cool things that we dont get here in the states! Why?!?!

[@maconhoth1005]

Awesome Video MAK! Looking forward to seeing the Bound For Nowhere Tees.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed! Hope to have them out sooooooon!

[@aberdeenbelfry316]

Truly a beautiful and awesome person

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much

[@brianthebrian3889]

Absolutely love both you and Owen ! I leave today for my 1 month solo overland adventure of Colorado Utah California Oregon Washington state I'm a guy with my Jack Russell and to be honest I'm nervous with that said your a total Inspiration I'm so glad to have watch this video it has totally given me the motivation to turn the ignition to an awesome adventure.... I find strength through you please know that we followers care about your safety at this time of being alone so please keep us updated on your wellbeing :D

[@SixMonthsIn]

Fantastic! Very well done! I appreciate you sharing a day in your life with everyone. As a fellow truck camper owner, I know camping isn't always glamorous and exciting. Sometimes, the mundane parts are the best, though. Freedom is the best thing in life, though. And, as for the policeman who was rude to you, I know that he often witnesses the worst part of humanity and that it is easy to be jaded but it is SO important to remember that we all need t be kind to each other. It is far more effective. Your reaction (or lack of one) speaks volume about your state of mind and general attitude. You weren't angry and didn't respond with anger (I hope) to him and that is so cool! Illegitimi non carborundum!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh thank you so much! It's a pleasure that is all mine! And no, I just told him that I would get out of his hair as soon as I grabbed my cat! ;)

[@pixelmartyr8532]

Owen is a very lucky guy.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I appreciate that!

[@johntovar554]

Your rig is awesome! I'm rebuilding a 1986 Winnebago Chieftain 22 footer. Can't wait to get it on the road. Almost done.

[@BoundForNowhere]

God speed! How great is that going to feel when you first get on the road with it!

[@johntovar554]

Thank you and keep doing what you are doing. I really enjoyed yall's videos. Yes i'm a Texan!

[@pattyw9418]

So excited for new content!!!! Love the new rig. Just caught up on your story and I am super pumped to see what comes next 🥰

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! So are we!

[@johneason6540]

I certainly enjoy your channel and adventures. The JMT hike and gear and food vids were very informative. I hiked about two weeks after the vids posted.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thats amazing! We really hope to get out on a longer format trail soon! Otherwise we have a bunch of smaller trails coming up!

[@829tuko]

Just an FYI... keep Luna close when outside. Birds of prey can come out of nowhere... fast. Love your videos.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I always stay close and keep an eye out for bird of prey and coyotes. She doesn't go outside too close to dusk either

[@ScottHaneyHello]

@@BoundForNowhere She's such a cutie! If you ever do feel the need for more protection while she roams, CoyoteVest makes a cat-specific product.They have several accessories for coyote and hawk protection in addition to the standard spikes. www.coyotevest.com/collections/all/products/feline-spikevest.

[@KitKatToeBeans]

Scott Haney Oh wow that’s awesome. Not sure I’d ever need it for my cat but sure glad to know something like this exists, ty!

[@David-rx2to]

Sorry to say but...don't you worry about a raptor swooping down on free range Luna, or a coyote grabbing her? I live in an urban area and we've had coyotes take small dogs. Loved the white socks and sandals look in that chair near the end!

[@BoundForNowhere]

I'm with her the entire time she is outside I follow her and I have my eyes out. When she is on the leash you can tell that she's not enjoying herself. We feel that giving her some freedom is a better way for her to live. However, I always am looking for signs of both predators and she does not go outside if I'm not feeling comfortable in any way.

[@williamkenyon9858]

Mak, It is called LOVE...ya love one another AND you like one another. That is a GIFT and I believe you guys know it. Great video, If you need a travel buddy let me know I am always up for an adventure friend. Be safe!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh we definitely know it! I always felt like my "independence" and wanting Owen around all the time were in conflict with one another, but now that we've had this time apart I don't think those things are in conflict as much. I just love him and love sharing my life with him

[@davewallner9731]

Just found your channel and have been poking around. Great stuff...Thanks!

[@BoundForNowhere]

So glad you enjoy! Thank you for watching!

[@jhglake]

Very good stuffs. I have the same truck, but without the camper. Thanks

[@ikeshin46]

Found you guys channel today and already watched six videos! Love the camper and how you travel!

[@GancoComms]

Thanks for sharing reflections on traveling alone. Also, good intel on moving around in the camper space with the top down. My wife and I expect delivery of a Hawk slide-in soon and we wondered how well someone could navigate inside while not having to raise the roof.

[@BoundForNowhere]

We've spent a few nights with the top down no problem!

[@stuyoe4060]

you seem so independent, but so sweeet you missss him too 😘😘😘😘😁❤️

[@BoundForNowhere]

I miss him big time when he isn't around

[@rqhirohata]

Love your channel!!!! Just turned my Ford ranger into a micro rv for weekend trips since I must work Monday through Friday (some Saturdays) in town. My table doubles as staging area for pizza deliveries accessed through my flip up window in the driver's side of the shell. Keep the uploads coming. 😁

Mak, I filled out survey for myself, but wife and I are currently planning anniversary trip for next year. If your plans sync up, we'd consider reworking that trip.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Well however you celebrate, I'm glad that you guys are getting out there to do something special for your anniversary!

[@MikeHerbstUSA]

@@BoundForNowhere Can't wait to hear what the survey tells you. Would be a hoot to celebrate our anniversary doing a trip like yours.

[@monsiuersmartypants3391]

i remember when earthroamers werent so ridiculously expensive. i had plans of getting a shortbed single cab one. about 19 ft long and easy to park without worrying about a poptop. and tons of water storage. now they only offer half a million dollar 30 ft long ones.

[@kmalone4953]

Highya! I appreciate your shout out to solo female travelers! I have lived on and off the road for 20 years either in an older minivan or car with frugal budget, limited support network, and understanding/use of technology. Solo adventures can be extremely rewarding and also extremely challenging at times to manage and stay healthy and together! I work and live in the BV/Salida valley at the moment with high cost of living/rent if no built out rig, especially for service industry workers who keep the towns going. Its work for us all!:) Ty again for recognizing solo women and the inspiration to keep going and expanding road set up and community and showing a healthy perspective! Safe, fun, and happy travels!! See you out there!:)

[@mrwoods4150]

[@amandac6681]

Hi Mak, I enjoyed your video, I have been a subscriber for a long time and enjoy learning from you both. I am currently getting ready to travel solo, currently living in London UK, but heading west from Toronto to Seattle in my truck ( to collect my camper shell, I bought last year on Craigslist) and put it on the back of my truck and then start exploring the North America. I hope I may bump into you both some day, I will defiantly be heading to your store to order a sticker for my coffee cup too. Best wishes Amanda x

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much Amanda! We're so happy that we can share our knowledge and help other people get out on the road. Just short of giving away our own happiness it's the most feasible way to make it happen! Hope to circle the wagons with you and see you out there! Safe travels and you sticker goes in the mail tomorrow

[@russsherratt6919]

Hi, nice video of a day in the life. In the beginning was that a fish head over your shoulder on the wall, if so what's Background on it. Also would you mind to list recipe for the Asian salad dressing, would like to surprise Syma. Thanks Russ

[@BoundForNowhere]

It is a Trigger Fish head! I found it in Baja and he has the goofiest teeth on him. As soon as I picked it up I couldn't leave it behind. He's been everywhere we have for the last 3 years! As for the salad dressing I don't know exact parts because I just freehand it but here it is: A full lime with of juice, liquid Amino Acids, a good bit of toasted sesame oil, a little bit of honey and a little salt!

[@exploremoretrd8865]

Luna needs an adventure cat sticker!

[@joegutierrez9066]

I'd build a rack for surfboards on the back of your rig and put more solar on top.

[@1jackvalley580]

Really enjoyed this, thank you. Lunar is so sweet and I can tell how much you love her, very nice! Just be aware as I'm sure you are, that when Lunar is outside a coyote, fox, or some other preditor could come out of nowhere, and it would be almost impossible to rescue her because of the speed of the preditor and the distance Lunar may be from you. Sorry, don't want to make you worry, but just a precaution. Can't wait to see your next video, have lots of fun!!!! Happy Trails 🚌🐾🚐😽🌟

[@Go_Play_Outside]

New Sub. You're inspiring me! I'm still working f/t, but I've got my Class A & 2 Jeeps I tow - TJ & XJ. I need to practice boondocking, & decide which Jeep to keep as a f/t toad.🚌🚙 Looking forward to more videos. Your rig is a beast! Love it!😍

[@johneason6540]

I, use to have a large fluffy cat, he was a stray and started to live with me. He got old and died, it was years ago, but Luna reminds me of him.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Luna was a stray too. They make great friends

[@Maphisnm]

I also hate that they pronounce Buena Vista weird, too. I know exactly where you were parked, because we camped there a few years back and did some sport climbing on some of the big rocks nearby. I also rafted that river once. Plus there are some great hikes there, too, I particularly loved Brown's Falls!

[@petercrouse1592]

After seeing your set up and how nice that camper is. I really regret buying my new slide in. Love the lower centre of gravity and features. How hard is it to remove the camper from the tray? Or do you think that it's just better having a dedicated truck to leave the camper on?

[@BoundForNowhere]

It's just four bolts actually. For us we will never take it off because we don't even carry the legs. We also build our suspension out to hold the weight all the time. I don't think it's necessary to have a dedicated truck, it's just how we went about building ours out.

[@petercrouse1592]

@@BoundForNowhere thank you for the reply. I paid a lot for this slide in and I could have got one like yours for the same. Minus the tray. The side entrance is nice and the back dinette is perfect. You have more storage than I do and my slide in has all the cupboards up top! Lol. Well, there is always trade in value I guess. Keep up the amazing videos

[@BoundForNowhere]

It is a really thick waterproof material, then on the inside we have a thermal pack that keeps the temp moderated. We have yet to find conditions that this camper doesn't do well in

[@legion1630]

[@pauldrown9115]

What app do you use to find camping spots? Sorry if this has been asked. Truly dig y’all’s work.

[@BoundForNowhere]

We actually don't use a ton of apps anymore we just know what the regulations are for different types of public lands and then use google maps to look around. It's an acquired skill that takes practice and trail and error but we have better luck finding remote and unpopulated places that way

[@pauldrown9115]

Bound For Nowhere that’s my general MO, too. Just wondered if I’m missing a good app. Thanks!
