I'm BACK... I disappeared for a while without much explanation. So I thought you and I could go winter car camping in the mountains of Colorado and catch up. I have no build, no heat, but I do have the ingredients to make a delicious homemade Chow Mein for us, plus a glass of wine. So hop in the Land Cruiser, we're taking off.
I've missed you.
Lyss.

[@SMETSYSGNIMIT]

Hi Lyss, I'm the guy who has been fighting cancer for two years. Your videos convinced me to change my attitude, my diet and my vision of the future. I stopped the traditional medical treatments and switched to a totally natural approach with a big change in what I eat. You may recall me telling my doctors that you and your videos are the best medicine I've taken! I'm thrilled to tell you that my cancer has shrunk and is actually going away. All of my blood work has improved dramatically. I plan to be around for a bit longer now. 😅 I've purchaed a large chunk of land in the mountains and I'm having a new home built. I'm going to buy a few horses, do some fishing, chop some wood, sleep in whenever I want, take my dog on long walks...and just treasure life. Although I've never met you, I hope to some day. I owe you a great deal of grattitude for keeping me smiling during some horrible times. You really are a great lady and I hope you find that special person you desire.

[@REGRETLYSS1]

wow, it's hard to find the words...It is truly an honor that any of my videos kept you smiling in such dark moments. I'm grateful that somehow, someway you found this channel. Thank you for being a part of my story, and thank you for letting me be a part of yours. Your comments give me the courage to keep sharing when I feel like giving up. Cheers to the road ahead my friend. May it be a long ways to go yet. Congratulations on being in remission!!! 🎉♥ Please feel free to send me an email at [e-mail].

[@SMETSYSGNIMIT]

@@REGRETLYSS1 Hi again Lyss. I'll email soon. Don't ever give up when life is challenging. The world needs you. Thanks.

[@MamaBearTravel]

[@jeanniebaker9929]

Good girl Rio!!! ❤

[@victoriaaydelott6187]

The cho mein noodle deboccle was hilarious 🤣 I love them things. But I'd get that confused if I didn't know also.

[@REGRETLYSS1]

hahaha I'm glad you enjoyed that bit. I'm just grateful it all turned out!

[@oliviakahlo1]

I’m in Denver, and don’t get out to the mountains very often. But when we lived in Boulder we frequently drove through the mountains, up the canyon. Driving with you in this video brought a warm fuzzy familiar view😊. Thanks for these videos ❤.

[@pattichambley2779]

I love that I owe alot of what I am to this dog

[@richardhanley3411]

I've been watching you for awhile now. And I really like what you do. But to be honest I just can't figure why so many people today have to contemplate life instead of living life. Anyway you and your pup have a great wonderful time and the very best of life to you both. Peace out

[@raftguy]

Rio is definitely unamused by the blanket recreation event 😂

[@robertschneider1799]

Sweet Lady Melissa stay warm while winter camping ❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️🐕🐕

[@CarinaPiersay]

Alyssa

[@morrischandler5072]

I have reallly been missing your videos! Your conversions are very enlighting! In your search for a companion, for it to be lasting, he should be a friend of a long time that has already stood by you in the good and bad times! The statics confirm that love at first sight, i. E. short term acquaintances do not last.

[@DanielleD2895]

“Because I really need it, it’s good for the soul-and something tells me you need it too”. Well, actually Alyssa, your right about that. I did need this. Even if it was your trip and we weren’t there to experience it, allowing all of us to tag along to through the screen was therapy in itself. So goad you took this little trip with Rio. Thank you for bringing us along on your mountainous reset. ❤️

[@marywalker2896]

My husband and I use to eat those noodles all the time in the seventies and up to now with our chicken chow menu. Love the stuff. My husband has gone to heaven after 47 years of a life well lived. He was the love of my life. I hope u will find your soul mate as chiche as that sounds. He was my love, my best friend. We loved hard and happy and raised two children.

[@REGRETLYSS1]

Mary, that story just melts my heart. I dream of a love like yours “we loved hard and happy”. That Makes me a little emotional. Thank you for those wishes, I hope I can find a love like yours one day too. thank you for being here. ❤️

[@FreedomRock44]

Hahahahahaha I love how RIo just hopped out of the big rig!!!!!! Light as a feather on that landing!!!!!

[@bigtex2761]

2 pieces of advice. Put electric blanket under covers before you get into bed. Let it warm your blankets before you get into bed. 2nd drinking alcohol feels warm but it actually lowers your body temp. So drinking to much to stay warm could cause hypothermia.

[@jonorr7984]

What a great trip! Chow mein looked amazing. Well done! Looks like you are finding your North Star! Good for you! ❤❤

[@bobs1648]

Alyssa, why do non meat eaters call it vegetarian chicken instead of chicken substitute?? Just a really random question. 😜 Btw, I don't know about everyone else but, I missed you! No matter what you are going through, you are always the bright spot of my day. Seeing you just being YOU makes me happy, you're like my little sister. Never ever lose faith in yourself or your dreams and we will always be here for you. As always, BIG HUGS and much ❤from Tennessee! 😁👍 Hugs for Rio as well!

[@J.Young808]

Yes vegetarian chicken is quite the oxymoron, especially since chickens aren’t vegetarian.

[@dotwillis5249]

Love to see you out & about. Rio will help to keep you warm.

[@dianegriffen2756]

Wrong side of 50 and STILL addicted to dragons 🤣

[@mrp8811]

soon as rio barked alittle bit of wine wouldnt have been spilt, bbq would have been kicked in the air and id have been in back of the van like a scooby-doo episode

[@henkvolder5860]

Nice to see you happy and exited, keep going , Henk. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jeffreybuffington7489]

Sometimes things that walk out of our lives are better that way. Fate doesn’t leave you empty, fate makes sure that the future is not a worry. Make sure whatever path you choose will never make you worry about being alone.

[@JamesBond-vg6wz]

Sounds good lyss..Cozy winter camping..Great food and wine, and the best company..Lookin forward to catchin up later as im off to winter wonderland..Will be thinking of you..Have fun...❤ from London

[@pw3985]

[@robertv58]

I bought a winter tent and stove and now you have inspired me to use it I love nature and being in its beauty is good for the soul ❤

[@jennyAbbott-ob7qz]

[@REGRETLYSS1]

Welcome Jennifer! Which episode from UNWAXWD? Would love to listen and support those girls. Thanks for being here 😊 - Lyss

[@nancyrojas1926]

So happy to see you are doing well ,nothing wrong with feeding your spirit ,quiet, energy and of course love!

[@4x4adventure_pl]

Solo camping and overlanding are an art form, a canvas where tranquility meets exploration. This video beautifully captures the harmony of solitude, the thrill of the open road, and the whispers of nature.

[@lifeisagift.cherisheverymoment]

Lost loves are as vital and instructive and rewarding and fulfilling on life's dance as finding one's ultimate love and soulmate. Lost love helps prepare you and brings you closer to that sweet destination that has been there all along. As is every step in life. It is a process. A dance is learned with each dancing. Beautiful video. ❤🌹

[@briandrake5388]

These shared moments are great for the soul. The heart to heart, the feeling of being able to share, and knowing there will be no judgement. Can't wait for the next time. Be safe and have a great holiday. Oh and the food looked fantastic, even through the screen. Take care.

[@jaimeandsheenasadventures.1181]

Thank you for this video and being raw with us. Sending you lots of love and light. From someone who has struggled alot too and been mostly a loner.

[@Tristan_de_Kermadec]

I don't know if it is the Cabernet Sauvignon, but I have rarely seen you in such positive, enthusiastic and talkative mood😂I am so happy for you. Enjoy your life!

[@csharp57]

I love your channel because it lets me follow you on a journey I wish I could take. I went through a tough break up too. I lost my direction once we split up and it’s still taking so long to recover. I’m stuck in NYC for the moment, so enjoy the Colorado freedom for me 🥹

[@cay5919]

So great seeing you!! Missed your videos so much! They always brighten my day🥰. Thanks for sharing with us and being real! You are an inspiration!

[@colleenbalch328]

So glad to get out with you, Alyssa. Have a lovely week and sending a hug!

[@tomas5376]

Thanks for taking me along on this trip! I love running away with you! Looking forward to the cottage visit next week! Feliz Dia de Gracias🦃🦃❤

[@Kayteeshashore]

I absolutely love your channel Alyssa. ❤your videos bring me such peace and joy.

[@KS51ABCAN]

I love your videos and always look forward to seeing them; watching them relaxes me and lets me forget my problems. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and life with them. GOD bless.

[@17johnnyfreedom76]

Wow look at you, absolutely beautiful. Looks like a great spot, very peaceful. Back in the old days they would heat a rock to sleep on to keep them warm. Just something to think about.

[@user-cj9oy3nl8d]

Hello beautiful Lyssa I battle with severe depression and anxiety PTSD disorder and suicidal tendencies watching your KZbin videos helps me get through my day looking at your Beauty and passion for van life and listening to you you explain what you are my way of day dreaming about van life with you and your handsome dog

[@rufus7704]

It's always a great idea to have a good clear out. Toxic people and excess just slow down the mechanisms. Good on ya. I love that sparkle ❤

[@nestornugpo7487]

Thank u for sharing,Lyss👏👏👏Stay safe & happy travels✌✌✌

[@joelmurphy7980]

Oh to still be young and full of hope for the future.

[@Patricia-Wafoes]

Love your videos, always! This felt as an intimate one😊 As if we were all together with you. And with Rio of course! It is inspiring. I am on a crossroad, as a solo female with dogs. Your videos give strength and courage. Thank you for being here.

[@raktoda707]

Nice to see your confidence,self respect fill you and your perspectives that you share .Be safe,eat well,sleep, laugh and you'll always be in balance

[@knightsatin]

Another great video Lyss, thanks for the trip into the mountains. So beautiful and peaceful there. Also so good to listen to your thoughts on life and purpose. Hope your special 'friend' is the one for you !! Take care of yourself and Rio 😊❤

[@ofthenearfuture]

Glad you took some time to be (by) yourself, but am even gladder that you are back!

[@danrt52]

Thanks for the ride along Lyss. Hope you and Rio have a great Thanksgiving.

[@j.travisgrimes4079]

Be you sweetie! No one else knows what makes you happy. You are a free spirit. That is AWESOME! Not many get to do what you are doing! Being free to be you. Don't let anyone box you in. If someone wants to come along and share the freedom with you that would be good. But, if not... go for it girl. I'm jealous!

[@danmartin2235]

Wow! Same boat, enjoyed immensely! Thank you

[@richardr6203]

Love dragons! Will look for that book

[@Yokoshibadog1504]

Totally enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one!

[@PapaLunar]

Hi Lyss, Love the Land-cruiser and your positive attitude, keep your chin up. God bless,

[@AD7Films]

Very relaxing to watch. Beautiful scenery and food you made looks great.

[@zenshire]

The trick is to figure out what you really want and how to "allow" it into your experience. It's simple but not easy, at least at first. Keep putting your dreams out there; as nothing comes back empty-handed. So glad you found somebody!

[@stevem9766]

Alyssa , You are wise beyond your years . A beautiful Women with incredible grounding skills . I am certain that you have taught many to focus on true development. You have been a gift to so many . Much respect Always!

[@katzcrow640]

Sure have Missed your Videos.. So Happy you are Back 🌿👍👍🌿

[@mervspence4601]

Cool honest vid! It is good for the soul to get lost. ☘

[@Hike303]

I haven't watched your videos in a while and decided to today. Im glad I did. It's nice seeing my gorgeous home state through your eyes. This was more therapeutic than you know. Safe travels. ❤

[@jasonstefanuk3579]

I am an old man. I feel the need say this from experience. You said you found a new guy and then the old guy showed up. It’s a test, young lady, don’t fail it. You have no idea the grief and heartache failing that test will bring you.

[@REGRETLYSS1]

I appreciate your words of wisdom and caution friend.

[@jojosworld956]

That's a super good deal guys for that anker.

[@luvyou-baby]

wishing you good luck & a great week 🙂

[@pennyhamilton8654]

We never go backwards girl! Love ya mean it!!!

[@tuckerandi]

Wow, in the video you said so much but I'll summarize in that , we exist to Live, we don't Live to exist. That Chow Mein looks delicious. I can't imagine going out in the woods without my puppers. What an awesome spot to go to relax. Going the check that Anker

[@Cdfarms]

This video was actually a good un!!! Thank you for sharing sweetheart, be safe!

[@wendywitzig119]

Welcome back, glad you're feeling better. Pace yourself.

[@mysticalsouls]

Lyss, drinking Port is the absolute best for warmth, better than anything! I love a good tawny

[@Zach81497]

Here I was having a tough day. Tough week tough month. Not really knowing what I’m doing all this for and living hoping to thrive someday I haven’t watched KZbin in awhile though I have watched many of your videos. Your positivity is contagious. Had I messed up a the store and bought the wrong stuff I would’ve been so upset. Just all around positivity and I hope that someday I will find it and have it myself. Thank you for having these videos doing life talk. I’m sure you’re doing the same for others, Not just me. I hope that you have a great week!

[@jaygorakht5135]

No alone always. With you✌️✌️🙂

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Great movie...DPS. Wait is this one of those "we need to talk " things? :) Just when you think you have life figured out, it changes, be flexible.

[@pamelahawkins6361]

Keep living your dream girl, love the update

[@ringss12]

Every time I watch a video of yours, you melt my heart, you seam to have a wonderful outlook on life, you have such natural beauty and your smile and eyes and everything else about you are amazing, and you have a cute laugh. Rio is such a joy to watch, thank you for being such a wonderful human 💕🌹

[@DianneNash-nh5vu]

[@conniechuha3113]

Glad you're back. Looking forward to more.

[@gberry924]

Welcome back!

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

A short dive on the tubes will show that a BuddyHeater, or even littleBuddyHeater, pose very little risk of poisoning the space you're trying to heat. The actual threat is using all available oxygen. So, as long as there is a fresh air supply, there is no danger of asphyxiation. I use my littleBuddy in my truck, camper, tent, blind...anywhere, as long as it's not air tight.

[@suemontgomery6233]

You are such a beautiful soul. Your videos are very inspiring and eye opening. Thank you for the beauty you bring into my life.

[@SweetSwineOMine]

[@styledliving]

Flame King started selling Coleman's old Catalytic heater (it was discontinued when people closed up all their windows before turning it on and it lead to bad consequences). If you leave two windows (or a rear window and the sunroof) open so there's a cross breeze, you're safe. You just need about 2 square inches of air which is literally just a crack. You can leave the heater in the front seat and with a small USB fan it'll keep it livable in the winter along w/ the reflectix in the windows, the floor, and behind the side panels in the trunk sides. In my truck, I have it on the floor and I end up having to open up two windows pretty big to keep from overheating in ~30 degree weather. It's less of a problem when it dips into the teens or single digits. The Mr Buddy Heaters (I used the 3,000 BTU Little Buddy for years) do emit Carbon Monoxide, but it also has an Oxygen Depletion sensor which is nice. The Flame King model, because it's catalytic, when it's running it's 100% conversion into CO2 and water. The only downside is you have to keep it clean and free of dust. But yes, smart move w/ the electric blanket. I used a 12v Electric Blanket and a Fashy Hot water bottle in a -20ºF bag for years down to -12ºF out in California's Eastern Sierras. You look pretty dialed in. I hope you continue to find that peace you get in your solo trips.

[@davidreynolds1921]

You are a great ins to many . Smile keep your head up and always look forward

[@NeverEndingParadise]

Haha the noodle part had me rolling because I used to get those all the time - the noodles are the taller cylindrical containers with beef or chicken in the container part on top, it’s so good I promise you if you decide to try them again! Also yes, put those little crunchy noodles as a topper!

[@Deaf_BobsArt]

Hello! again Lyss, chow mein is so delicious. The natural forest is so beautiful. :)
