[@robertarnobit5357]

I love your adventures. Nothing can stop you when you have a will. Wish you safely always ❤🙏

[@SJC-r7u]

Lisa It was so amazing to meet you at one of our local So Cal beaches. You are a genuine and caring person. Please let me know when you are back in our area. Prin

[@SquirrelNut-k5i]

Hi Lisa . Its Big Don my channel is under construction.. im glad your safe .... keep your double V'S up 😊

[@Jason-lk7kr]

Glad you’re mobile and able to get out of the fire area…FYI you have fans in Sacramento area that want to see your home on wheels!!!

[@7bean584]

Glad you're safe and have the ability to relocate quickly. Good to hear from you. Stay safe.

[@Mel.H_]

My heart aches for everyone in CA, but when you told the story of the father not leaving his son 💔💔💔 I cried. I just want to say I appreciate how open and honest you are about the things that go along with your injury. It's changed the way I manage the hotel I work at. So, thank you!❤ So glad you're safe!

[@Implant01]

When I saw the title "I'm safe" I felt such relief! I've been so concerned about you this past week Lisa.

[@Keepinitwheel306]

Aww I really hoped people weren’t worrying - I wanted to upload this sooner but of course I didn’t have good internet in the desert

[@KylesREDaceKylesRedace]

Keep up the amazing job and please please upload more often even if its simple 10-minute video do it lol but stay safe and enjoy your content

[@newlexness]

So glad you are ok, got supplies and had some fun in the desert.

[@LifewithMamaLucero]

I am so glad you're safe! And what a blessing to be able to have such wonderful friendships. Don't feel guilty at all!! You deserve them and you time together making memories. You're so sweet to help your friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the many others effected. Thank you for using your platform for good❤

[@sandibran3420]

I'm glad you're safe hon., thx for sharing and wow so sorry about mail delivery issue., God bless you hon❤..

[@wendyrobertson-c6m]

Im so glad youre ok. Its devastating to hear of all those with disabilities that arent able to evacuate. Ive been in a manual chair just over a year and within the past month got an electric chair. Im glad i have it as it relieves the stress on my shoulder, but boy am i finding it slow going. It has 5 speeds but my room is just too s mm all to move fast. You take care, happy trails and safe travels

[@mlife952]

That's what friends are for 🎉

[@Mel.H_]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@beckiwhite7927]

Good for you! What beautiful sunset sky

[@RobertxJenks]

Glad to hear you are safe. Hate hearing about all the people losing everything and losing friends and family to the fires. I learned a lot about the different companies making catheters and they are all different and having a constant draining indwelling SP tube with a collection bag (bag was easy) was not easy to change on my own when they clogged it was a mess to contain the blood and urine from going all over and the infections with it were always occurring, self cathing is cleaner and less infections but sometimes a little messy for me. It's easy to get distracted while cooking when two things your working and drinking from look alike, I do it quite a lot or forget to add something.

[@MattF-r3n]

Lisa, you are an inspiration. I enjoy watching your videos. I want to visit out there soon.

[@windsurfingatmeerwijck]

How Vantastic it is your are be Able to live in a Van and Surfing.. You are free as a Bird.. Live the Good life 🤙

[@Whatzsheup2now]

So glad you are safe and you have good friends around you. My heart and thoughts are with the people of California. I know what it is like to have to evacuate from a fire, I was in Fort McMurray during the fire of 2016.

[@josephmorgan3715]

On the one side, in Cali, you're a nomad, but on the other side, you're a nomad(!), and can go anywhere!!! So, stay away from the crispy places and stay safe!!!🤗🤗🤗

[@Dee-s6s]

I didn't know talking about peeing makes you want to pee😮

[@cathylivingston368]

I feel for you. My own mother had a rare sarcoma between her uterus and colon, leading to the complete exoneration of her pelvis in 1980. With her bladder gone, she had a urostomy and colostomy, and lived 18 more years. It was a constant struggle to manage her medical supplies. Usually, her devices would be good for 3 - 5 days, but sometimes they would fail immediately, leaking and/or damaging her skin and tissue. She could only order enough supplies for 30 - 45 days at a time, so sometimes she came up short. Seems like every couple of months, she'd be on the phone with the medical supply company pleading for help. Her supplies were not something she could pick up at a local store, so she was at the mercy of the shipping department and postal service delivery. To be honest, this was definitely the WORST part of her condition! We were always relieved when her packages arrived, only to repeat the debacle over and over again. I don't know what to say to you, except that it shouldn't have to be this way. You are a survivor, Lisa, and I can see why. Sending you my love, and keeping you in my prayers.

[@cotter9751]

Glad you have a friend who was able to loan you the medical supplies you needed. How awful that the shipment was so terribly delayed. Really appreciated - this window into people affected by the CA wildfires, and the added layer of challenge in evacuation when disability is present. As you say, it is heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing.

[@sallydavis1345]

Sorry for all of your troubles with the medical supplies. And grateful for your friend that could help out. Enjoy your time in the dessert with your friends. You deserve it.

[@patrickdavidson464]

Hey Lisa! I use the same cath … my urologist said I could reuse the catheters if I ran out for some reason. Worst case, you could put them in a ziplock with some rubbing alcohol or just use some alcohol to sterilize and reuse them.

[@pmcallister]

My husband’s urologist said the same. Catheters just need to be clean, not actually sterile.

[@petervandergugten]

It's good to see you safe and sound And that you can count on friends when you need them Our thought go out to the people affected by the fire And hope the can find a safe haven And that something will be arranged for these people later So that they can quickly forget this and get theire lives back on track again Be SAFE and have FUN (stay out the red zone)

[@carolxavier4388]

Ur a special woman,with a caring spirit!!

[@ritacolombani714]

Hi Lisa sorry to hear about your friend, thinking of everyone in California, so glad you finally got your medical supplies, stay safe 🙋‍♀️🇦🇺

[@Sam-f1k8e]

where you been girl!

[@alanshaffer6724]

Hi Lisa

[@aaroncates7924]

I am happy you are safe. I am deeply sorry for your friend and all of those affected by the fires. Continue to be safe out there. Fire can travel very quickly.

[@derekdestep40]

Thank god your safe

[@annahopp]

I heard of the cerebral palsy son and the dad that refused to leave him. Very sad story.

[@popspops3795]

Hi sweet Lisa! I was concerned about your in California. I'm so glad to know that you are safe and well. I'm sorry for the medical supplies delivery issue. I was really disturbed by your situation, and I would rescue you, like Superman. But, where I live is very far from where you are and it's very cold now. In times of adversities, spending time with nice people is a great way to deal tough times. Whatever you do, wherever you go, Pops (me) will be here (on the other side of your camera) rooting for you, sending you my positive thoughts and wishes for your safety, health, well-being, and happiness! Go get the world and share your experiences with us, your subscribers. Pops

[@ResPieces]

phew.....was starting to worry about you past few days, and here you are!and that waste of box is bs!

[@teguhindra9116]

Nice video. Glad to see you're safe...

[@Sam-f1k8e]

Tyler is a gentleman 👍🏼

[@lorettaterpstra6373]

❤been thinking about you, praying you were safe. Sorry for the loss your friend has experienced, so devastating. Live in the moment

[@hazmat1978]

Safety first "Hot Wheels"! 😜🤙✌️💙

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

I wish you lived local to me, I use speedicath catheters too and could have given you a couple of boxes. I have some spare indwelling catheters too. I haven’t ‘gone’ on my own for over a decade! (Psst, would you like some enemas too?!)

[@TheWonderman1964]

Heading south from Vancouver soon. Stay safe. 🎉

[@ericlunn5323]

Glad to see you're okay although the supply situation seems scary. Vancouver Island has been fire free although not a lot of warm weather surfing . . .

[@cassiepalkovich3296]

Glad you're safe. Praying for all of those affected!!!

[@apassageoftime]

Great behind the scenes look at your van life. Well done.👏

[@GaryNichols50]

How frustrating to need specific supplies for bodily functions and not able to easily get them.

[@hillbillyprepping3257]

My hats off to you

[@Z-no-U]

I’ve been worried about you! Thanks for checking on chicka!

[@ShinyNickelBlades]

At least you didn't mistake the waffle batter for your smoothie! That would have been a worse mistake! 🤣

[@steven.h0629]

My daughter always 'samples' the batter, no matter what's in it. She makes me proud in other ways 👍😎✊

[@ShinyNickelBlades]

@steven.h0629 that's understandable, but I'm imagining her taking a huge gulp of it, expecting a smoothie. I wouldn't imagine that being a pleasant surprise, lol.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Lisa, I’m glad you’re okay. I also feel so sorry for those people that I lost their homes and lives like Australia. We have some incredible bad fires here too but the indigenous people the aborigines used to burn the land so there’s not much undergrowth, but unfortunately we got green is here in Australia tree huggers that don’t allow it to happen, and this is the reason why we have Credible fire storms like in California anyway keep up the good work love and appreciate you keep up the good work stay safe lots of love Cliff from Logan city, Queensland Australia. I’m on the big island

[@briankerns8188]

Thanks for the update. I was concerned. I am very glad your safe. Have you ever considered a change in scenery. The gulf coast, even North Carolina have good places for your adventures.

[@nickm2670]

Thank you for the update!!!

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

[@parefnyman4739]
