Just thinking here. Have you ever considered having a Patreon member or a Subscriber to “guest camp” with you or Dave when you’re alone for a few days ?? Give them a chance to try “van life” for a couple days. Now that said you would need to do a background check before committing, also need to do interviews. Yeah I know even up here in Canada 🇨🇦, we have our fair share of the wild and crazy. Just a thought

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

@@thisoldnurse1521Sounds like a fun idea! 💡

My husband passed away almost 2 yrs ago. We used to love camping but when he got sick we sold our big travel trailer. Last spring I missed camping so much I bought myself a small B+ similar to Desert Snow and started camping with my dogs. It does get lonely for sure but it beats sitting at home alone.

[@barbaralockett2956]

Be careful my dear and God bless you.

[@starletsatori8933]

I did the same in 2018 after my husband's death. I sold the fifth wheel & pickup that we full timed in. I bought a used class C and ventured for 3 years alone. I grieved, got to know my strengths, communed with nature and made life long friends. Not to mention teaching myself to tow a car behind my 27' rig on the highway thru Phoenix at rush hour 😊

[@sandykelting9548]

I SO admire Your positivity - priceless😍! You go, Girl - much LOVE to You💝💯♾️

[@FutureNomad68]

👍🏽❤

[@terriprobst4680]

I am so very sorry for your loss. I just found out about a month or so ago that my husband is sick as well, he has stage 3 kidney disease and cirrhosis of the liver and his spleen is enlarged because of the cirrhosis . The drs said there is nothing they can do for him 😢

[@maryroberts5213]

I noticed your eyes were stinging when you cut the onions. Here is a trick I use...Place a wet paper towel next to the onion while you are cutting it. I don't know why it works but trust me it will work. Thanks for sharing. You are a blessing to watch.

[@TriceeAle]

Hi Tanya I admire, applaud and appreciate you by continuing the adventure without Dave! I miss Dave too. You are always in sync with each other! However Tanya you are a warrior! I have so much faith in you!! Be safe!! As I always say...TO THE BEST COUPLE EVER!!! From Tricee in Virginia Beach, Virginia 🏖️ 🏖️🏖️🏖️😊

[@debbyrymer9298]

Girl don’t try to fool me you got it going on you’re one smart cookie and funny as all get out I love watching you guys. Thanks.

[@ddcornell1019]

Awesome job on setting up camp Mrs. Tanya.

[@carolmartin4413]

Well done, Tanya! You couldn't have picked a prettier area to solo camp...VOF is another treasure of Nevada. Interesting how it's so relaxing to enjoy alone time but also a reminder of how much we enjoy time with our loved ones. Thanks for another 'I got this' moment! 😁

[@familiabanks]

Hi Tanya. As a solo traveler (no pets) I can relate to your comments. And I know that I’m not the only one. Glad to see that you survived those 3 days just fine!

[@jamminjami103]

Thank you Tanya! ♥♥♥

[@susanstebila8707]

Great Video, beautiful RV ❤🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️👍🎈🎈🎈🙋‍♀️

[@lindafero4720]

Looked so peaceful and serene ❤

[@lynnfiegl4953]

Looks like you did great!

[@lindagolden9892]

To me it’s like a thorough cleansing being tuned into mother nature’s heartbeat. 🏕

[@KateMcCridhe]

A little trick, fellow coffeeholic, those coffee grounds are very useful. After you've been cutting onions, garlic, and or hot pepper, take a pinch of used coffee grounds and a drop of liquid soap to wash your hands. This also works if you've been cleaning some stinky stuff that's a bit oily (like fish). Seriously, it absorbs the volatiles off your skin, and even makes it so you can put your hands near your eyes or other sensitive anatomy (men, take note!). Trust me. Try it. Uhmmm, rinse someplace other than your gray tank or house plumbing. Coffee grounds are still coffee grounds, you know. (Plants love coffee grounds...) Dang that lamb stew sounded goooooood.

[@soniayoung7531]

Hi Tanya you're not alone you have your fur babies with you ,awesome place the rocks are beautiful, the sunset was amazing ,thanks for sharing stay safe

[@joannehiggins5593]

Great trip. Love the area. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@laurashelby6842]

You did great Tonya!!!!

[@nancycoole5217]

Looks amazing! With Lamb the key is lots of Garlic & Mint...Ive learned that carmelizing all veggies for soups & stews intensely enhances the flavors ....❤

[@sandykelting9548]

I Love Your apron, it's so JOYFUL😍!💝💯♾️

[@christymoss4680]

I think I take it for granted that my husband is always with me. I call him my bodyguard. We are seldomly apart. When I am alone its like automatic high alert.

[@lhern8008]

Everything looked wonderful and nice relaxing trip. 🍷🏜

[@MissBecky1968]

I really love watching your adventures together

[@debbie3238]

Beautiful place to wake up to and have coffee outside. ☕️😊 We will never get to go there but can see its beauty through your adventures. Love getting to see the kitties. 😍 You made us hungry just watching all the meals you were fixing. Lol Great video and also love all the Star Wars! ❤️😊👍

[@chrisg4514]

I can't help but laugh when KZbinrs film bits of them walking pass the camera knowing they need to take the awkward walk back to retrieve it. 😂😂

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

I actually enjoy the awkward walk back to pick up the camera allows me to get more steps in for the day! #gotheextramile! 😂🤣😜

[@joanies6778]

​@LetsTurnItUpWorld or you could use a drone, right? I actually enjoy the perspective shots, so thanks for the extra steps.

[@janepollard9092]

But makes for better product.

[@carolynharris6853]

Hi Tonya, I really enjoyed this adventure, minus Dave. You seem to be more relaxed for this trip, minus snow.😂God bless, and thanks for taking me with you.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

So glad you enjoyed this adventure! Loved making that lamb stew! Came out delicious! Definitely missed Dave! Even though I didn’t have any shore power so had to monitor my use of things and run the generator at times it felt like a more relaxing vibe for sure! Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!

[@rosemariepennix]

Tanya, you did an amazing job you are certainly the pioneer woman. Thanks for the amazing video and the kitties are so precious two bangers in one day first to live stream and now this awesome video keep up the excellent work❤❤🌎🌎🐈‍⬛🐈

[@robinliberato3142]

Good job your dinner looked amazing love you guys❤️

[@cathiecollins7320]

You should get one of those cat tents for the cats to play in outside, gets them some fresh air❤

[@dawnross644]

Enjoyed your stay at this location. I’m a Single older woman. Never married, no children, travel in my class c w/ my cats. Live in Indiana & wanting to do a big trip out West. I cannot imagine company or a companion. I wish I had the help. But, it was not to be. I enjoy the peace & getting out of my home enjoying nature. I count it a Blessing to be able to do that. My cats hate it. But, like our nature campsites.

[@susantreadway6585]

I am a solo camper with a travel trailer. Leveling can be a little complicated. I have a fold up level that is magnetized and I can stick it on either the front or back frame and level from side to side. Then the front to back compensation is with the tongue jack followed by stabilizers. What you are saying is interesting because I have thought about a van. Never thinking about all the leveling that has to be done side-to-side and front to back with blocks. I have seen the type blocks that are curved and allow gradual changes with the one unit. It may work for you.

[@carolynbell7403]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@thomasseritt9272]

Nice spot. Good job solo camping.

[@aovoonthefarmsouthernillinois]

Also, Tanya i just wanted to say that I've always admired & appreciated you & Dave for what y'all do! The love that you have for each other is so very real and it makes us smile! And speaking of smiles Tanya yours is pretty! P.S. Dave, you have a nice smile too!😊

[@donnanhuggler8451]

[@sandraduffield9481]

Such a good job I’ll buy yourself. You should be proud but exciting to see Dave.

[@lilyLily1824]

I bought beautiful cuts of lamb at Costco yesterday, lamb is so yummy and your recipe looks bomb! I am going to be out there as soon as my child leaves for college, i'll be alone and I'm looking forward to it! Especially the 'Change of plans' will work better for me, it's just me!! I love my time alone. I will have my little dog and that's it. I think you did a great job! I would imagine being alone without Dave would be lonely! I think it is so sweet! I love you guy's channel and adventures! Very much enjoy watching! Good Job Tanya!😁😎 Hi to the kittys! #MEOW!

Wow that’s really amazing and inspiring to see u do this alone. I wish I was brave to do things alone. I get anxiety anytime I do anything outside of my home alone. So props to u boo.

[@fayeyah]

Love watching your videos so relaxing.

[@RVG9]

I really enjoyed this video. Maybe it’s because it shows that a woman really handle being on their own in an RV with setting up and preparing to move on to another site. Thank you for this video. Someday I hope to be traveling and maybe be doing it in an RV by myself. I do understand when you say that it’s nice to have an additional person with you.

[@goldie74]

A tip on the blocks…. Stack them like a pyramid…. 2 side by side, 1 on top in the middle of the two….. 😊

[@talkshowtea1313]

12:38 When cutting onions I don't cut the eye of it, or you can chew gum, or put cold water on eyes before. I have tried all and it works!

[@melodytwigg4750]

As you said, when you set up and tear down solo, it is a lot of work. Most of the people I camp with are couples, they don't understand why I don't have the magnitude of decorations, out door "stuff" they do, and when I do I start packing up the day before departure day. It is lonely, my husband passed 4.5 years ago, and the void has not diminished in that time. I still live 3/4 of the time in my 5th wheel, but never a day goes by that I don't wish he was still around

[@EmanM45]

I camp by myself. I love it

[@Prplpassions]

It would hard for me to visit anywhere without my husband. I always want to share the beautiful places with him. The peace and quiet would be nice though. I would have a good book and a bottle of moscato. My 3 cats love my cooking too. They do exact what yours are. I wouldn’t miss that for the world.

how long does it take when you're getting all that b-roll? how many cameras do you use? one moved around for it all or many placed along a trail & then retrieved? how long to download from all, splice/edit, etc? i love your work!

[@jayce8001]

So fun to run into you guys at Durangos grand opening tonight! I hope you had a great time! Great vid. We can't wait to see where you guys go next! I wonder how that Mercedes chasis ends up doing. We were actually planning to get the '24 before they decided to change chassis. Maybe worth a little longer wait to see. We are in a new house in Vegas anyway so maybe we will save up and see what they announce for '25. Safe travels you guys! edit: I forgot to ask again here as I was so excited to run into you guys then, did Winnebago happen to mention why the chassis change?
