These are by FAR the best and most realistic travel vlogs I've seen on KZbin. So well done, Emma!

[@terristenacious2279]

Emma put all baged, boxed and bread up in upper cupboards. DONT LEAVE ANY CRUMBS ON FLOOR until you visually get him out. Remember if you see one mouse their might be more. A tub with a tight lid will work too!💓💓💓

[@pennylynndauphin9405]

Helps to put in air tight plastic containers too. Dollar tree has some

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Emma you look amazing, I believe this bus life is really good for you. Don't stress out over changing plans or only driving a few miles at a time - this is your time - to do what you wish, what feels good and makes you happy. Keep smiling. ☺☺

[@trevorupton241]

Agree 😁👍🏻

[@MartyG1957]

Well that was fun :-) I love how future Emma jumps in and adds to the story. I can't wait for the next episode 🙂

[@francoisg1393]

It's nice to see both Past Emma and Future Emma enjoying the adventure! Driving isn't always easy. You're still learning what your pace should be. This is not the same kind of travelling you were used to. So just try different things, and you'll learn what you like best. I wish I was in your shoes! Except I'd completely suck at KZbin and I'd be penniless.

[@vaasnaad]

I second the fan club of Past Emma and Future Emma!

[@AB-C1]

Emma, Great video VERY funny lol 😂🤣 So glad you got yourself sorted! (I knew you'd be ok with the bike once you got your clutch control better, driving the bike daily where you were up n down the loose gravel probably helped!) So funny about the mouse! Seal all your food in air tight containers/out of reach of the floor to avoid unnecessary/uninvited "guests" in your food! You've really grown in confidence which is great to see! Absolutely love your videos and you energy and spontaneity! Hope youre having a great weekend and good week next week! Look forward to seeing the next one see what you've been up to etc.. Don't stress about the driving its not a race and once you get more comfortable driving it'll be less stressful(stress is tiring!) Take care, cheers from London 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x

[@siscoe6]

It is a blast watching your videos. You are so brave putting this out there. I love how you are facing your fears and frustrations and working through them. You are amazing. You will appreciate this time in your life your whole life.

[@desertgater6789]

I use bars of Isish Spring in different parts of my rig to keep pest like mice, squirrels, rabbits and such out of areas with electric wiring( they love eating the insulation), keeps them out of food areas, closest and such. Last a very long time. Cheap and saves unwanted visiting pests from making the inside their home. Good luck on the New journeys in New life...

[@bonniepettersen4063]

The beauty of your rig is, you don’t have to drive far. Your always home! Yay! Your just beginning to find your groove!☮️ You can do it! Love your videos❤️

[@baddog340]

I love your videos. You are funny and very good at narrating. Please be safe and take it one day at a time. Oh yeah, great job loading the monkey.

[@jeffcollins96]

Check the straps after you have gone 10 miles. Also use a locking pin for your bike carrier.

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the easier it gets.

[@bulliesboy]

Emma, I have enjoyed watching the transformation of the bus and yourself. You have certainly become more sure of yourself. A quick tip for doing scribing to get the arch shapes. Use a fairly large disk (Plastic or wood or whatever) with a small hole in the centre for your pen. This will be easier to use and you should also get the slight ups and downs.

[@SandCruzer6]

Suggestion, a high-quality cable lock for your motorcycle, if you don't already have one, would be very beneficial for when the motorcycle is on the bus and when it is off the bus, especially when you go into stores. Just like your car, never leave the key in it. Also, you might want to put a spare key to the bus door hidden somewhere on the outside just in case you forget your keys on the inside. Wish you well down the road, from El Cajon, Ca.

[@conniewaite1371]

Yes! Monkeys get stolen easily,just pick it up and put in your van or truck.cable lock to a litepost

[@chrisrodenbeck6327]

The mouse issue is never going away. I always have at least one sticky trap with a piece of granola bar on it out. Never had one escape though.

[@mscarlarn]

I always look so forward to your videos. I am in such a good mood when finished. You keep me laughing. You are such a doll.

[@sjporr]

totally enjoyed the new format with the back and forth with the future you. Good stuff

[@teddiriggs517]

Great video, loving your journey. Proud of you too. You've come a long way. So happy your happy....🙂

[@ticosandoval]

Great video...enjoying your adventure and happy to see you getting comfortable with living on the road. :) For your bike loading situation...you may want to consider a longer ramp-- even one additional foot will significantly increase the ease of the loading angle. Although looks like you're getting the hang of it.

[@slodzinskithomas2406]

You are adapting well I think you are doing a fantastic job thank you for the videos please be safe and careful

[@jaco_oosthuizen]

Always good to see your smile.

[@dieseldave564]

2 tips from a guy that loads motorcycles on that type of carrier. 1. you only need the front wheel pocket open to safely load/carry the bike. Cover ALL BUT THE FRONT WHEEL POCKET with a strip of metal. Rolling it over a smooth surface will make it more controllable to load and unload. 2. You are short like me. find or build a small step/bench that you can walk along as you load/unload. If you can get higher off the ground next to the carrier, you will be able to leverage the bike better.

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

Come to Florida, we will park you full hook up, in our little Humble Jungle and show you all our favorite places. You would love my Nephew.

[@cathyisaac7041]

Good for you Emma. You do look genuinely happy!

[@kannieschrijfnie2042]

Emma, your smile is golden! You could read the telephone book to us and end with that smile and still everyone enjoyed that episode. I loved this video as always and hope to see the next one soon. Grow and stay safe.

[@leslieservantofgod8601]

You got it girl little RPMs popping the clutch little bits low RPMs

[@grizmba]

The double narration is awesome. The cliffhanger at the end was unexpected but perfect. Thank you.

[@lynnturner9406]

Emma girl. I love your videos. I have been watching you from the very beginning, and I a absolutely love following your channel. Your so real and I love people that are like that. Keep it up, its something I look forward to watching. See you down the road, if I ever get things done and get out there, which is the plan in a 40 ft bus too. Wishing you all the best ❤.

[@richardmoore2590]

Wow, what an interesting video. An actor and a narrator all in one. You’re still amazing. Thanx for taking me along on your journey.

[@crystalneel748]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve heard the bus/van life issue with mice can be troublesome. The best proactive tip is to be sure to keep all food in well sealed containers as food is mostly what they are after. I am wondering why you are traveling now though? Did you just want a break from the build? Seems you still have a lot of details to finish up on the bus build…?? I think I would be restless if it wasn’t complete & I was living with so many projects surrounding me.

[@RTVance]

i am a professional truck driver and I know the area you are in fairly well. The twisty double lane roads you are on are way more taxing to drive. I can do 14hr days in any vehicle.. I start dragging the RV around and I am spent in a few hours. I do the 365 rule. 300 miles, 6 hours, not later 5pm.

[@KhayaPennVlogs]

she is interesting! i like the way she talks and tells story! hello from a Penn, a filipina vlogger also.

[@tomst9417]

You can get mouse traps that "take care" of the little buggers permanently and you never have to see the result or touch the mouse. They check in and don't check out, you can use peanut butter for bait.Love your sense of humor and how you are managing your new life on the road. Be safe!

[@MichelleCouplandHairStudio]

I think you did fine. As long as you don’t rush, and think ahead, your fine. The more you do, the easier it will be . 😉🥰

[@ginagonzalez6547]

That little smile you had as you were closing the video, says a lot. Seems you have something up your sleeve. Not that it is my business, but you have shared so much of you in these videos makes me feel as if I was your friend or something. Of course, I'm 3 times your age, pretty much so feels as if you are my youngest. Lol.

[@norm5785]

What an adventure you had. Northern Montana will be there when you are ready. Glad the mouse is gone. Such a wonderful attitude. Great plan to work on the bus interior. Thank you for sharing this with us today Stay safe and healthy from Henrico County Virginia

[@con-b118]

Emma here's a little kitchen trick for you. If you get eggshell in your eggs again just wet your finger and stick your wet finger in your eggs by the cracked shell and your finger works as a little magnet and the shell goes right to your and sticks. Neat little kitchen trick. Hope your doing great ! Connie

[@calvin2681]

Good job, Emma, loading your Honda Monkey perfectly into the position!!!! Yay!!!!

[@MotoVania]

You are getting so much better at that clutch control! Great job loading that bike!

[@alexcarson2117]

Don't ever stop at a rest stop go to a Flying J or Loves Truck Stop, any truck stop is gonna be way safer!!

[@normak63]

I’m picturing jerry hanging onto something under your bus and waiting for you to be distracted so he can jump back in 😂 Consider yourself lucky. Another channel that I follow has a mouse in the ceiling of his van.

[@bussingwithbain]

You got this! Adapt and don't worry if plans change. Enjoy where you are and not worry where your going...

[@jeffreythomas9106]

Hey Emma 👋 hope you are having a great day and a safe trip 😀 💛💛💛💛💛🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@goodandgreen]

You’re doing great!! I can’t believe how far you have come with your coping skills and problem solving, can’t wait to see where to next. Xo!

[@stacynissley7336]

Emma you crack me up! Stay safe, take your time and enjoy:)

[@funkymcmonkey187]

HI Emma, Thanks for sharing your adventures and yourself with the world! May you live your best and happiest life out there!

[@dougintothesunset]

Who knew it was going to be this good?? . . . It's nice to see you prospering Emma. Good job.

[@randyrandolph9709]

Lady Emma so very glad to see you are out and about and living your bus life so sweet. You go girl proud of you 👏.

[@surferserials5160]

wow, your videography was turned up to 12. like wow. The vulnerability is top notch, whoever guided you in videography, give them a drink, you story is now a story

[@stevesteel6066]

Awesome video. Adventurers develop a plan and do not stick to a plan! Thanks for sharing your journey so honestly. Safe travels and hopefully awesome destinations await you. Much love ❤️

[@whereverilaymyhat6673]

The best thing about living full time in a bus is that it can be a life without to much planning, but now I have planned to travel from Scandinavia to Greece and spend winter down there. So in october I leave snow and ice for a milder climate!

[@purple7kh1]

Make sure that you have sealed up all the holes coming into the bus around pipes with steel wool. Mice can't chew through it. then you can also spray foam on top of the steel wool as well to seal everything up.

[@jayu724]

Emma,your vlogs are very entertaining, Your facial expression,dialogue ,your body language, your wardrobe are a testament that you are special! you keep your followers wanting more! that is success!🙂travel on!..

[@brianclifford8144]

i wish i was with u .. looks like so much fun ...

[@craigtoups5786]

love the mouse story. keep having fun!

[@Marc_Wolfe]

Ever see those lifts that are used on cargo trucks? They fold down, then you can lower them to the ground, load stuff, then raise it up. An ordinary winch + a little clever welding of some levers= a pretty good bike lift. A locking pin so you don't have to worry about the winch dropping while you're driving.

[@TKevinBlanc]

A couple of weeks from lost to boss. You're kicking ass, kid.

[@waltervang]

It looks like you start finding your self, you look happy. Suggestion for the car seat, go to a junkyard and find a good car seat like one from a Cadillac or a truck and build it in. Love this Emma she is happy and sparkly it does you well being on the road

[@abdulwahidalmaghrib]

That's a good job.

[@Mekazas]

Well that ended nicely! Hope you are having a blast!

[@jereschweitzer9195]

Always look forward to for your videos your next Adventures from week to week you're amazing I think

[@carlhursh9692]

You have GOT to keep Mice out. They will eat the wire coating. Use Mouse Glue Traps with a dash of Peanut Butter.

[@richardbrooks1894]

Looks like areas of squally River

[@elenalemanski155]

Loved this video! Your attitude on handling things have come such along way since day one! Really enjoyed the past and present Emma stories! 😊❤️

[@phuckinggraphicdripdotcom]

i love your new your new edits/cuts, too funny and quite entertaining. You are doing great.

[@chuckusa1139]

Very creative way to narrate this. Good job on everything. You are awesome.

[@twopeasinapodus]

You are just vibin. I wouldn't stress about making mileage unless you absolutely have to be somewhere. Make that time what you want of it. Has fun be safe. I think you are covering all the major points there.

[@canadianwarrior2108]

Could you please finish the wood inside your bus. I like to follow you and that is driving my OCD nuts, LOL

[@sharonsmith9478]

It is thinging to much girl need to realx and you will feel better you just take your time and start putting thing's down you want to do for one day and do them and realx the next day.. you are making yourself stress out stop and take one day at a time ok love you girl ..you got this ..i wish i could do what you are doing you got it going on girl ..

[@HajnalkaGyurgyovics]

That zoom in shot was the single best piece of footage on your channel so far 😂🙌🏻

[@goodykei]

Really, REALLY Love Your videos. Well done, You are getting there !!!!! I like the whole past present future Emma. Love and Blessings to You and Yours PS: Relax Breathe and be calm, Take Your time. And try not to sigh as much. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE. EITHER YOU WIN OR YOU LEARN.

[@farmtruck9885]

The saga of the monkey and a mouse. Wherever you put a hole in the bus you need to seal up. steel wool works well because the meeses can't chew thru it, pack it tight.

[@lawrenceluckey5984]

Look at you go way to load the monkey you have tamed the beast 💪 you are unstoppable

[@keithburkett9448]

Great Video 👍

[@con-b118]

Thanks! I love watching your videos, I look forward to Fridays for your video to come out. I am one of the subscribers who keep telling you to get good curtains in your bus/home with some sort of insulation and blackout stuff. I hope you don't get upset about me saying anything I just worry about you and I want you to feel safe and cozy. I have always been one to jump in and try things that are out of my comfort zone. i doubt you will ever be out my way ( I live in Ohio) I sure would help you make your curtains and get or make you something to hang as you go in to your little bathroom area and something matching to hang as you go in to your bedroom. Your doing so great on your own and just forget about the negative comments. Those people are most likely jealous of your courage to build out a bus and make it a home. Anyway keep up the good work. My husband said your doing a great job also and that's a big compliment. Okay ,we'll see ya next week. Have a safe & great week Love Connie

[@johnhannah9163]

Get yourself a few glue traps for mice and put them where you last saw the mouse.

[@Mojokiss]

when you overcome and succeed, it makes me feel like so can I, if I have the passion

[@mikegx2220]

Emma, Emma, cool podcast found you while searching for off grid ppl. I'm getting my 1997 Born Free MH together for bow season. Anyway, enjoy your way of looking at and taking what life throws at you. With that said,,,,, Emma really the mouse bite your toe😂😂😂. Are you sure,,,, well good for you that on the what second or third capture attempt you saved your other toes.. j/k. See out there on the coast maybe.

[@dennisporter753]

Quite interesting Emma... I really dig the way you went back and forth at different places and times.. kept me intrigued for sure... nice job loading up the monkey!.. you are definitely improving step by step and learning that it's ok to change plans at the last minute.. ya never know until you try it.. The last part of the video... you looked very happy and content.. Almost gleaming... I wonder why?... Take care of yourself Emma.. Be safe!Cheers from Missouri..

[@realamerican6101]

As long the Monkey has gas you can get it up the ramp. And there live mouse traps and people make mouse traps out of 5 gal. buckets, ramp and spinning bridge think all the camping sites you were at great looking. And have you ever herded one of the Monkey songs name She make me laugh. You will like it. Take care Emma .

[@scootersmith7173]

Hello beautiful, how are you? I love watching your videos, because they are so good. I love your bubbly personality and pretty eyes and smile. I love how you are not afraid to be yourself. It's okay to make mistakes, because we learn from trial and error. Just keep being you and be happy . You have a beautiful smile and you should let it shine. Can't wait to see more of you and your videos. Love watching you and your adventures. The scenery looks amazing.😘😋💖💓🥀🥀🥀🌹🌹🌹💋💋💋👅👅👅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ernestbrothers1298]

Ok Emma with practice comes confidence. Driving the bus, loading the bike. All skills you are learning. 1 , lot of rest areas are patrolled now by troopers. Truckstops you going to be stared at hit on by some real winners. Park in front lots if using truck stops. 2, make your shopping list based on what you need ,your available storage, and want you want. 3 , finishing projects gives accomplishments. Look for the little holes where mice come in and plug. Buy some magnetic bug screens and cut to fit around some windows. 4 , buy small GPS unit that you can set for rv. If using Google set to satellite so you get better look at route before going. 5, clean windows, comfortable seat , position for driving. Stop relax walk . Your schedule is only to be back in Utah an set day. Rest is open book. Glad you met someone to give you such a lift

[@abdulwahidalmaghrib]

I like the bus.

[@sonjadlong7554]

Yay for loading the Monkey Up!!!!! Love this Vlog! Happy Summer's End 💗

[@lisabramos9427]

Maybe you could get a small winch to load the motorcycle.

[@ellenados804]

I thought you did fabulous loading that motorcycle!

[@PeterKNoone]

Nice job getting the monkey up that sketchy little ramp. I'm impressed. I'd be terrified of doing that.

[@chrisfolkharmonicaplayer6292]

We had problems with mice last winter. We got these plug in electronic devices that make noises mice dont like, and humans can't hear.. They work great. I don't know if your bus is wired for 110 v . But you could get something like a rechargeable Jackery battery with a 110 v outlet , also good for keeping computers and phones charged.

[@bigdaddy1269]

You can always come to Oregon and get help with that bus.

[@xmontanax7349]

Montana is a great place

[@vinmehay8610]

Hey Emma. Even though I’m in the uk with such different climate and places to go you give hope and joy with your channel. Don’t change as a person as you give so many people positive vibes. VincentVanVito x

[@carlhursh505]

A glu trap with a bit of Peanut Better will fix the Mouse!

[@leslieservantofgod8601]

Absolutely you've noticed the time thing it's called the Ascension process and the time thing is that you're acending into the fourth dimension you're between the three-dimensional world and a four-dimensional world it's really strange but time is different in the fourth dimension

[@leslieservantofgod8601]

I paid $6 to wash and I had two loads to dry two bucks total for two loads I'm in Forks Washington so there's no place to go 57 miles east or 110 miles south or just do it Forks

[@shadow.5404]

Definitely enjoyed it Emma have an amazing day ⛅

[@edrosa5079]

so you still have not gotten any side cameras or rear view camera would help you alot Also Great job Loading your bike in time you will be doing that with no second thought.Safe Trravels

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Emma do you have a backup camera on the bus? They are real easy to install and makes backing up safe!

[@SegoMan]

No she uses the Helen Keller method and the neighbors helped her off the rock..

[@crawroy11]

Another interesting & fun video. It has also been my experience with driving my motorhome that it is much more tiring than driving a car so it's not just you. I think a couple things add to the fatigue. First there is the physical exertion of handling the steering wheel of a heavier vehicle, even with power steering it takes more effort than a car. Then there is the mental aspect of the heavier vehicle and being more "on alert" for hazards and the behaviour of other drivers. I drove from Cheyenne WY to Rawlins Wy (about 150 miles) during high winds (gusts up to 55mph) and even though it was only a 2 hour drive it felt like 10 and the lady at the campground checking me in said I looked exhausted. I've found more frequent breaks to be a big help when trying to cover ground even though it seems counter-intuitive. In the car I usually only stop every 4-5 hours but in the motorhome it is about 1.5 to 2 hours. Use the washroom, top up the tank, do a couple laps around the rest stop or travel center... just take at least 15 minutes to stop staring out the windshield. And this may just be me but I've found listening to podcasts better at keeping my brain engaged than listening to music.

[@sandragarrett574]

Get the 5 gallon bucket trapani from amazon.. works great and you just dump the mouse out!!

[@lindatemple5454]

Get a humane trap to keep in the bus so if you encounter another you will be able to let it go safely in an appropriate location.
