Solo winter van life camping with unexpected challenges

[@rferguson4196]

Despite the bugs, thank you for sharing your quiet afternoon. I found it soothing. 🙂

[@edvalencia5861]

I have been battling prostate cancer and diabetes, had a liver transplant 10 years ago, watching your videos soothes me and I am able to relax, thank you for your content

[@dross24MA]

Am in remission from lymphoma and am sending you *tons* of health-generating good vibes! Onwarrrrd!!!

[@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!

[@BigV96220]

sending love and blessings to 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.

[@BigV96220]

I also from Aus in the west ,Your living the dream and my wish .Do you have a youtube channel ?

[@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.

[@geri9839]

Excellent advice to always back in while camping just in case you need to leave in a hurry. Be safe Emi .

[@brendamitchell8927]

I am sure she knows to back in .

[@billkrueger7549]

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

[@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!!

[@dross24MA]

I am working on getting one or two of my kitties used to free-travel like she does...so far, it's a carrier or no travel.

[@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. ❤😻

[@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

[@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.

[@dross24MA]

Thanks for the education =;^)

[@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 ❤

[@naomijohnson2395]

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

[@Lonnwriting]

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

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

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

[@Emilyagnes-yb8fn]

Dido... Thank you.

[@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!

[@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.

[@Neb.333]

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

[@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.

[@goddess7713]

Hope you guy's are warm❤❤

[@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

[@LaNette1]

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.🇺🇸♥️👍🙏🐈‍⬛🙂🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@Lizloc2567]

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

[@glennkennedy441]

Yup, foggy days are the best.....soothing to the soul and inspiration to shoot great moody shots.

[@christinamann3640]

I agree about the beauty of foggy days. When you say, things reveal,’ I understand that to mean things emerge from the grey mist like a phantom from a magical realm 🌫️✨

[@BigV96220]

Totally agree lovely put🤗👍

[@kathleencomyn5228]

That lake was such a calming place 😍

[@DianaDenton-u8u]

The pasta looked so good. Beautiful lake.

[@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. 😊

[@tdhawk167]

I totally understand about the pasta...I do the same thing! It's so easy to eat it all!

[@danstafford6536]

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

[@Gama255]

Your van is like a spa.. it's unique and u can fully stand. The picture makes it. Well lit.. luv it.. so simple open airy design. Amazing wood details too.. thanks

[@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 🙏

[@rhampton10]

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

[@annapacatang5079]

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

[@carolineellis4961]

Thanks!

[@ThecatladyVAN]

Thank you so much Caroline! Have a beautiful day

[@carolineellis4961]

I am inpressed with your still photography Emi.

[@sharonlea786]

So relaxing to hear Kelly purring at the end.

[@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.

[@christophgrail]

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

[@j.f.l.7649]

I just saw you in Chrome's latest video and your hair looks AMAZING! love the cut and style😍

[@debramickley2295]

The Peace of Mother Earth 💚💚💚

[@emilee9526]

☮️🌍

[@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!

[@diannespinney7846]

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

[@LSChestersMom]

so much to be grateful for

[@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!

[@mchangmi]

Hey Emi🎉I always enjoy your videos 😊 and your great attitude ❤ looks so peaceful and relaxing there. See you in the next video. Hope you have a good night 👍

[@IrisRoque-xv6mj]

Enjoyed relaxing with your video after hectic day at work.

[@tonyaharris7035]

Love this peaceful video and the amazing videography! Thanks for taking us along!

[@simple-277]

Stay warm you and Kelly and stay safe . ❤

[@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,,

[@GDixon-ch3yl]

Kelly is always living her best life. ❤

[@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.

[@kaytoka717]

Love the lake walk - so beautiful and very calming. The fresh air, less daylight and colder temps makes me more sleepy / tired and wanting to just relax too. 😊❤. Wishing you and Kelly a great back country time and so sweet to hear Kelly purring at the end. ❤😊

[@davinamarshall2780]

The weather seems not bad considering it's the middle of winter in Canada.

[@darlenemiller847]

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

[@sashal4927]

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

[@Darkangel-A-c8z]

Love your van and your fur baby

[@troyinater]

I'm shocked that those fly's got that close to the Hummus and Plant Sausage! 😂

[@patriciasancho8239]

Hi safe travels..🚐🏔️😎🐾🐾😊

[@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.

[@BethDoublekickChick]

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

[@susidavis8457]

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

[@Shihtzu99]

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

[@saramartin940]

PRINT THOSE T SHIRTS. Beautiful. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

[@Itsalltolatenow]

Wow emi that peace and quiet I yearn for that every day

[@guestguest5128]

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

[@user-kev-k5v]

Love what you just cooked I’ll have to start my dinner soon

[@Shihtzu99]

Awww Kelly sleeping on passenger seat ❤

[@raytailor9251]

Thanks for sharing! Your meal looked amazing.

[@jamibeaumont3565]

Good morning Emm! The dish you made looks delicious!!🤩

[@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.

[@disneydianne1716]

So peaceful, great video, thank you!

[@ejp9921]

Beautiful scenery…your van is looking super and sleek.

[@Shihtzu99]

Pesto sauce would be great w that meal as well!

[@Vanlife2017vantoyz]

Hi Emmy I hope your doing good for this Thursday

[@Yvonneb_]

Great video Emi and Miss Kelly ❤❤ xx

[@dross24MA]

Yummmm! I love hummus but never thought about using it as a sauce -- what a great tip!

[@laurenm8561]

Your meal look delicious, thank you for sharing! You always give me great ideas for quick dishes🌻

[@Cynthia-z8z]

That place is so beautiful.

[@dorissummers5864]

Hello Emi and Kelly I really like your videos 😊

[@Banagal]

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

[@user-kev-k5v]

Morning Emily and miss Kelly the cat ❤👍

[@tamsinlewis5161]

Enjoy

[@annapasley592]

Nice relaxing video Emi.

[@Cindy-v2j]

What a perfect night❤

[@virginiajorgensen8614]

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

[@DonnaGolbek]

Love your campsite beautiful

[@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

[@sashal4927]

Dying to Hv the Kelly sticker in digital format, you can restrict prints.

[@thereal_myfirstcigar]

Wow, very cool technique with that dish, I’m going to give it a try. Carlos from Ontario

[@kathyanderson1509]

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

[@Shihtzu99]

Looks delicious!!!!!

[@HannaloreJohnson]

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

[@debyarger3084]

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

[@annieoakley5075]

I am going to try doing the hummus as a sauce in a pasta dish like you do. Thanks for a healthy idea.

[@sharonoldham4374]

Have a great weekend 😊

[@equynenergie]

Love your videos ❤ Love the angles, perspectives and no BS 👌🏻🥰

[@Retired-t3w]

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

[@storiesfromhinterland]

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

[@user-kev-k5v]

Emily sweetheart it’s called life you know so just unwind relax and enjoy your surroundings that you love so much and so quiet for you my dear 👍❤️

[@gabsy6443]

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