solo winter truck camping *no heat, gourmet chow mein*

[@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.

[@REGRETLYSS]

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]

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

[@MamaBearTravel]

I LOVE this for you! Congrats on the shrinking bad stuff and the growing good stuff!!

[@jeanniebaker9929]

I’m always amazed at how brave so many of you ladies are that camp alone out in the wilderness in Bear country😳🐻

[@jeanniebaker9929]

Good girl Rio!!! ❤

[@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. ❤🌹

[@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 💕🌹

[@johnl9135]

Love your videos, this video makes me want to move to Colorado.

[@EdwardBussell-r8z]

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

[@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.

[@victoriaaydelott6187]

I’m so happy I found your Channel Alyssa! Even though I am much older than you, have been married twice, had 4 kids, many animals…I am a very independent, adventurer at heart, and now as a divorce’….long for a soul mate, companion to share my adventuresome life with now that my kids are grown. You have taught me so many things and are just the highest “quality” person anyone could ever want! You deserve everything you are longing for…❤

[@J.Young808]

I too am in a similar situation just not a divorcé. Looking for a soulmate to grow old with and share the rest of my life with. Good luck with your quest.

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!

[@rhondadean5455]

I'm old enough to be your mom and I lived lot life had four babies. God's been good to me. My advice to you is never ever settle. For any reason. Also. You're sweet young and beautiful soul. You have time. Pray about your hearts needs. It will come to you. Ask. Be safe out there.

[@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!

[@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.

[@REGRETLYSS]

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. ❤️

[@jojosworld956]

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

[@REGRETLYSS]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@morrisswaba5069]

And love your delicious meals that you create on your shows!

[@FreedomRock44]

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

[@ohwildwon]

One trick with a Buddy Heater in a small space is to just leave the pilot light going, it takes the edge off👍 cheers

[@ToyHaunterAdventures]

I can relate to this. My love of road trips and camping found your channel. I too lost the person I thought was my forever a few years ago. I lost myself. I became someone dark and depressed and a version of myself I did not recognize. Took me awhile, but in time I was ready to live life again. Taking my Westfalia out all around California makes my heart happy. Being a guy, I felt I had to put on a false face and act like I was ok for the longest time. I eventually realized it was ok to show people I was was human and capable of hurting just like anyone else. Im me again. A better me cause I took my time healing. Im ready for the universe to bring me my person as well. Thank you for trusting the audience with your vulnerability. Its not easy, but very admirable. I just followed and look forward to watching your journey. Never stop exploring🤍

[@CampingRuss]

Lyss nice little video you should look into a PLANAR heaters I have one. I will be using it for winter camping for my rooftop tents both of my truck and my jeep fits inside of a very small pelican box. It’s all one unit not that expensive but not cheap thing it is you could put it on top of your jeep run the hose on the inside being a diesel heater it’s pretty nice. Also look at those heater blankets that you can actually plug into your power station to keep you and puppy warm. Keep the videos coming ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@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 🥹

[@PapaLunar]

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

[@chrismorales2508]

[@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 ❤

[@mysticalsouls]

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

[@dotwillis5249]

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

[@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.

[@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 ❤.

[@nataliemorrison5876]

"Something tells me you need, it too" Thank you for your empathy you have no idea how nice it feels to live vicariously through you❤ Whata damn sweetie!!

[@MarlenevT]

Season's over. Forest service closes the roads at the end of summer. I'd say come down the Pagosa way but we just got dumped on with snow. Gonna be cold tonight.

[@CobusM1]

Your raw natural beauty is out of this world ❤ And looking into those hazel eyes in real life must be amazing. Love your positive energy 😊

[@henkvolder5860]

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

[@katzcrow640]

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

[@RicG.]

You'd be able to run a small electric heater if you had a better power station.

[@marcialovejoy9926]

Alyssa you will find that special someone. That person will like doing what you do. My late husband and I liked backpacking and getting away from the hassle of living I n the city.

[@FWDXPL]

It's nice to see an adventure channel thats down to earth and touching. Thanks for the escape.

[@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.

[@jjslifekitchen7619]

New subscriber - have come over from Jordan and Kaylee (Lola's Farm). Loved the segment they had with you. I am not sorry I came here. As a matter of fact, your channel and your escape resonates with me. Love it! Thank you

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

[@BigFireDave]

Congrats on your new realizations. Some advice, take your time, get it right, dont rush into something you will be unhappy with.

[@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. ❤️

[@StephenOshea]

great video so interesting to learn about your adventure

[@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!

[@KevinBeary]

Ughhh I missed your live again, never getting used to these hours lol. Glad your well.

[@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.

[@repsnotregrets]

Hey just stumbled across this video. Love the movie reference. It's nice to see a real person that thinks on a deeper level and understands what's truly important. I'm planning a NOBO Thru hike at the end of February. Also I used to live in Colorado Springs so beautiful out there not sure where you're at out there .

[@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

[@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!

[@donharrison1254]

I am so happy to see your videos back! You are so much fun and an inspiration and you give me hope as a single girl in Montana! You deserve so much love and happiness and success and contentment. I've taken way more camping trips since I've moved to Montana because of you and the great beauty that the state has to offer! Montana is so special and I'm so blessed to live here. All the best to you and precious Rio! We love you!❤

[@REGRETLYSS]

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

[@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 ❤

[@J.Young808]

Alyssa I wondered why you were getting the topping chow mein “noodles”. Those are used to top chow mein on the mainland. We don’t use those here in Honolulu.

[@JohnHenryEllis]

Now you got me looking at the Anker as well as the competition.

Listening to you, it is clear how beautiful your soul is, and that is where true beauty lies. But on the outside, you are sooooo pretty! Love, Doc

[@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!

[@facts1752]

Just came across your channel, love watching overland camping videos, enjoy camping in general, keep up the fun and interesting videos, just got a new subscriber😁, your eyes are beautiful!

[@fresnokidsr]

I get that way sometimes too Alyssa except I call it talking to the wind when I go for a drive out into Nature I find some open spot that looks out across the hills or valleys or maybe even some water and just have a conversation be-it out loud or silent with the wind. For me though it's not just that spot with the wind it's also the drive and maybe the radio station I'm listening to. Anyways may you and Rio have a good one. Thanks for sharing this video with us. I do have a curiosity for you but Im going to save it for another video or maybe a live stream that I'm lucky enough to catch live which isn't easy since I drive truck for a living. Have fun take care

[@nancyrojas1926]

“We’re gonna run away for a bit.” That’s all that’s needed to be said in your absence and for the case of this video. 💯 You don’t owe anyone any excuse or explanation to what anyone does in their life.💯

[@Kayteeshashore]

I also meant to put in my last comment I am a Colorado native. Born and raised and your videos make me fall so in love with our home! Colorado is so beautiful. I live in Denver. But oh do I love our mountains. Thank you for sharing the beauty of our mountains in such a beautifully spoken way. ❤

[@meghanriley7148]

Congrats on opening your heart. Be careful in letting your past relationship coming back in your life. Usually that means your growing and moving forward and once they see that some how they try to always come back but I have learned the hard way every time that it drags me backwards and I get upset at myself. Embrace the new relationship and close that old relationship and continue to be yourself. I always enjoy your videos. I watch your videos and my younger self down deep is living through you and your amazing adventures with your pup and friends. Side note you have really cool caring friends. You are extremely blessed in your life. I hope one day in the near future. (Got to save though) I will be able to hit the open road and have a spontaneous road trip to no where but a stunning view. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
