Windstorm and mudslide | Living full time in my van, decluttering the van

[@wendyrobertson3899]

Thank you for donating to the diabetes foundation. I have diabetes and didn't have insurance when I was diagnosed. If it wasn't for the foundation I would not have been able to get my meds, syringes, the education on tanking my meds and above all the food educational aspect of how to control ups and downs of glucose control. Your donation is greatly appreciated! Whether in the USA or Canada the foundation benefits everyone diagnosed with diabetes because they educate you on what horrible effects diabetes can have on your body if you ignore or deny your disease. I really enjoy your videos and love seeing Kelly outdoors on her walks. My neighbors think I'm nuts for walking my dog and cat together, but they love their walks together. Happy tails and safe travels to you Emi!

[@tybell8899]

OMG, I love the ACCENT, SPIRIT, WARMTH, & BEAUTY OF THIS LADY.. CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE WHEN WATCHING HER.. LONG TRIPS, THIS IS THE KIND OF LADY THAT I WANT TRAVELING W/ME..

[@nicola4789]

I am always afraid you hair will catch on fire when you cook. Ponytail would be safer when you cook near your little propane burner.

[@seviregis7441]

It’s so cute how Kitty / Kelly watches your every move and pays such close attention to everything you say and do.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

GOOD MOORNING!!! (J'écoute ça à minuit et demie LOL) 💜

[@rosesandthorns7789]

It’s so gratifying when you donate because someone can always use it as you said 👏😃💖!

[@martaparsons5633]

The waterfall is beautiful. The best part of your video is seeing Kelly enjoying exploring with you. I am thankful the wind did not cause you damage.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

En autant que Kelly ne s'envole pas au vent, tout va bien! ❤

[@judyzwemke9305]

During the extra battery explanation, Kitty is sitting there looking & listening to you. So funny! She was really taking it all in.

[@joniallen6880]

She was there to make sure none of her toys were donated!

[@debralounder3810]

I thought the same thing , wondering if she's thinking are you talking to me and yet looking past me lol

[@patricialewis-payton7114]

Hey ladybug 🐞 thank you 🙏 for always sharing daily videos. I also appreciate your honesty. Stay safe . ❤

[@qzsqrlypete5753]

Definitely.

[@edithsymmans3273]

Hi Emi, I was so glad to donated to Diabetes Canada. Diabetes is close to my heart as my youngest son had it from 5 years of age through to his passing 💔. To go through our belongings now and then it's amazed what we can pass on to someone else for their enjoyment. I so enjoy following your channel and seeing the beautiful countryside of awesome Canada. Your trip across country Canada was so inspiring to me. Thank you Emi for uplifting me spirituality daily. May Heavenly Father continue to watch over and protect you and little Kelly daily. 💖🙏

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Haha moi non plus je ne porte jamais de jeans, je ne comprends pas le trip, c'est si inconfortable 👍

[@rachadventuresinliv]

How beautiful waterfall and suspension bridge. I don't care how much time it would take me to walk to it I'd visit on my list. A simple smile and hello goes a long way. Beautiful souls. This world needs more people like them. Donating whatever we no longer needs or use is such a small gesture with big gain for many helpful associations. Decluttering is also good for our stress. Much love 😘😘

[@kimberlytelle8313]

It is so very nice to have someone greet you with a big GOOD MORNING!! 😃☀️

[@joannegerrard9414]

I have a friend I visit every so often and they smoke. I don't. So when I go home I have a bottle of laundry scented beads (I forgot the name of it) anyway, I put warm water in a spray bottle and a good sized hand full of these beads, give it a shake to dissolve the beads and spritz my clothes, hang to dry. In the morning, no longer smells like cigarettes. Maybe that will work on campfire smoke.

[@mikeunum]

You know, respect and the universal love is THE thing.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

J' ai une grande maison et j'ai pas de micro-ondes. Anecdote: mon père qui avait 93 ans (il est décédé en 2022) se faisait du thé constamment. Et il le laissait tout le temps refroidir, donc il passait son temps à le faire réchauffer dans le micro-ondes. Mais comme plusieurs personnes agées, il n'entendait plus les sons aigus. Donc quand le micro-ondes faisait BIP BIP BIP! pour signaler que le thé avait réchauffé mon père ne l'entendait pas.Alors le micro-onde continuait à sonner toute la soirée. Je ne sais pas combien de fois j'ai du venir de mon appart situé de l'autre côté du mur, pour venir ouvrir la porte du micro-ondes pour l'arrêter. En plus mon père se couchait à genre 3h du matin, et des fois il oubliait la tasse dedans en allant se coucher. Donc le BIP BIP BIP me réveillait dans la nuit et je devais me lever, descendre de mon bunk bed, venir dans la maison pour arrêter le bruit LOL. Je m'étais juré que quand mon père décéderait, je jetterait le maudit micro-onde dans le fleuve LOL. Finalement je l'ai mis en haut dans mon AirBnB. Mais les micro-ondes pour moi c'est un trigger, je ne serais plus capable d'en avoir un chez nous LOL. Même juste entendre le BIP BIP BIp dans un film ou un vidéo, ça me donne les goosebumps 😆 (À mentionner que ce petit manège a eu lieu tous les jours pendant presque 10 ans... au moins pendant que j'étais à Vancouver je ne l'entendais pas!!) Autre anecdote mon mari s'appelle Bip LOL.

[@naomiwoodman3585]

Smiles and happiness is infectious!🙂

[@helenrojas929]

Very beautiful site on the suspension bridge! The waterfall is so beautiful ❤️

[@sharonoldham4374]

Purging is a good habit to have. Every fall before school started my mother had us go through our clothes and toys. We donated in those days to good will.

[@rollingsol5331]

I love your heart, Em. Thank you very much for caring and sharing. Sending you a warm sw hug and ear rubs to kitty. 💜🐾🌱🚐💨🕉🕊

[@tammyinman1699]

I too have diabetes and am thankful for your donation 💕🌹💕🌹

[@rockinrhonda5]

Oh Emi you are sooo close to where I live, it would be sooo cool to run into you and Chrome.

[@RealProVanR]

Loved the waterfall. Thanks for your positive "good mornings."

[@valerierichardson458]

Books can be donated to senior centers. Most have libraries and the books are very much appreciated.

[@normaevett]

Sounds like you got a bit of the storm that hit California. Glad you're safe!

[@suesmith8326]

Kelly looks so sleepy at the beginning of the video, poor baby. Beautiful waterfall.

[@walksnwheels]

Bless you both Emi & Kelly for your donation.😻🌻

[@lauraliekarels4059]

I love storms.

[@Banagal]

It's time for me to do some spring cleaning and donations too. Glad you, Kelly, and your van were safe during the storm.

[@angelapietras1235]

In Newzealand when we go walking people always say a big hello or good morning very friendly.

[@berilmurray9879]

G’Day from Queensland, Australia Emi. I do enjoy your videos, you keep things so real, and love all the beautiful scenery. Stay safe out there.

[@margarethutchens5463]

The waterfall was so pretty. I always enjoy your walks. Kelly looked like she enjoyed that hollow stump.

[@grandmanette9503]

Hi Emi and Kellie!

[@gertraba9806]

Oh Mon dieu!!!!

[@286happyone]

Glad you’re safe through the storm. Such a nice feeling to get rid of clutter. Love to see Miss Kelly being curious with your stuff, she is so sweet! I just love her. ❤

[@Yt-hb4wh]

Loved the water fall!

[@revyred8679]

Loved this video❤ except the bridge😯😟...😂 I'm so scared of heights....even with that GORGEOUS view.

[@loriheiney5711]

Beautiful waterfall

[@whatsananna]

So many little pearls of wisdom and positive thoughts and practical tips in your videos! We don’t have donation boxes like that where I live anymore because people were putting inappropriate things in the boxes, like garbage. 😢

[@danataylor8530]

Donations are awesome 👌. I really enjoyed this video 📹, the waterfall was spectacular. Stay warm, and safe travels.

[@MsSoozy]

I do enjoy seeing Kellie climbing on things and having fun on your walks. She is a special kitty ❤️ I looked around,y place and sometimes just don’t know where to start. I am a crafter, so that says it all right there. Hahaha 🤪 Enjoy your weekend and be safe.

[@LaNette1]

Hey Emi what a beautiful waterfall that was so much fun and it’s always something that we can find to clean in our home. I agree with you I don’t wear blue jeans anymore. I mostly wear leggings. They are so much more comfortable you and Kelli always make my day. You guys are so much fun you guys be safe out there and stay warm 🇺🇸♥️👍🙏🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@finallyawakened3350]

I remember you wearing your blue jeans Emi. I also never wear jeans anymore. Leggings/jeggings or yoga pants for me. So comfortable!

[@carrolhenderson1555]

Love your channel. I learn so much. I just wanted you to know. My dream is to live this van life. Soon I hope.

[@fireside007]

👍 YOU ~ ROCK ! !

[@galehenning7340]

The waterfall was pretty! Be safe!

[@jeff051]

Blessings and safe travel to both 😀

[@chrisr.1803]

I’ve started putting tags on cords as soon as I get them. Otherwise I’d never remember!

[@californiasun162]

[@suzanneethier1450]

[@missy4cdts]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@cindysmith6612]

Thank You

[@TheGangstaNunOnTheRun]

Maybe one winter come out to Quartzsite, the southern Arizona desert is perfect! Van folks everywhere here!😊

[@amydavis955]

Amie I always enjoy your videos little time of your company sharing your adventure it’s fun for me to watch and the waterfalls today. Thoughts? Awesome. Thank you. you’re right I think it’s great to greet people with a big smile in the morning like that.😂😂😂

[@pamgypsyaries8049]

Wowww, the waterfall is beautiful as well as the surrounding area! Kelly blends in good with the forest, lol..meowwwww 🐈 My van is so full of stuff… I know I’ll be lightening my load as my journey keeps going but right now starting out , I still can’t get rid of my stuff. It’s crazy, I know.

[@brendakinsey8353]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. You make me smile! Kitty too

[@debrajackson3138]

Yep be careful in those back country places. Kitty is adorable, good luck, stay warm an safe.

[@penny-n-kentucky447]

Hi!! Glad you’re safe from the storm. I was wondering about your reflectix window covers. Have you ever thought about making them insulated? You put two of them together, filling the middle with wool or other insulation. It would help with keeping the van warm. There’s a deep freeze heading your way again soon. Burr!!! Love your videos!!

[@tracymorrison1584]

i look forward to seeing you and Kelly; keep safe and dry .

[@sgbradley]

Welcome to Town, I'm in willow point the south east side of the city.

[@dianneyoungblood689]

Those gusts of wind can be scary, for sure. Hi, Kelly!

[@liammcweeney1674]

Great video emi

[@VaguelyMeandering]

Kelly is a fickle girl...she doesn't always want to kiss. It's awesome to see you sorting and clearing clutter. That may help with your anxiety as well. If my space is a mess, I find it difficult to settle down. I like the idea that if something isn't used for a year to get rid.

[@susanbradley3926]

Another great video Emi,I am glad you did good with the windstorm.I know sweet kitty was scared.Good job decluttering the van.

[@lesliegonzalez9839]

Not having a microwave is really good for you. I stopped using a microwave 15 years ago cuz it changes the molecular structure of your food & the radiation is not good for us. Also I love y our hoodie sweatshirt!!! That color. ( looks like eggplant purple) looks great on us ladies with an olive skintone!💯👍👍

[@karenmays8889]

Safe travels. Stay safe and warm.

[@capttzuzu]

nice its wheel chair excisable half to go there when i tour Canada

[@angelapietras1235]

EMI I’m an animal lover all animals,and it makes me happy to see you taking your kitty outside as they love exploring not all campervan people take their cats out.

[@jenniferroberts7581]

OMG, so cool to see you in Campbell River. My husband and I drove up there in our camper van twice last summer from California - yes, very long drive! SO Beautiful and uncrowded, at least compared to most places in the US.

[@PedroNord]

🦋

[@Lore67]

Awesome !!

[@Night_hack]

Great video. Enjoyed seeing the waterfall. 😊

[@traveldreamer4616]

Tilly is always adorable. Stay safe in the wind and the rain lovely video.

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I use the thrift store as long term storage, I take winter clothes in spring, get a set of summer clothes while I am there. Except old cotton clothing which I cut up into rags, then cut up more to compost. I have an 8 year supply of aluminum cans, so I bought metal shears and started to flatten them for shingles on my shed. I had thought to melt them down, but that leaky shed roof is a better solution. Plus, it is not heavy like boxes of shingles. You know you are old when you have to unload purchases in bits and pieces.

[@sagewellness4801]

Thanks for another great adventure. I too am trying to lean towards a minimaist environment. I am all good with donating stuff but hubby not so much lol .

[@balthazarquinn]

Great advice about deck uttering Emi. About the only things that you'd hold onto if not used is any emergency/rescue/breakdown gear. :-)

[@balthazarquinn]

*decluttering

[@abridalmaven]

Beautiful. I like bridges, but not the type that you can see through. Kind of freaks me out.

[@deejay4837]

Whenever you use propane/gas etc burners indoors you should couple the use of a carbon monoxide detector I heard.

[@Mavill_]

I'm from the Philippines I love camping van and truck the weather is bad coming to town there take care in relax doing camping Take care

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

Whenever I have second doubts about donating something, I remind myself that there is always someone else who will need it more than I, or appreciate or enjoy what I have donated. It always gets me over that hump and pushes me to donate! 😊 On another note, what kind of tea kettle do you have? I looked on your "everything in my van" link but didn't see anything. I've been searching everywhere for something small. How much does it hold? Thanks!

[@noras.5355]

I liked just 'hanging out' with you while you cleaned up your van. I think it's called spring cleaning? Idn. But I had fun watching you. Love to you and Kelly.

[@kimberlythompson9554]

Cool waterfall thanks for sharing!

[@darlenerioux9796]

Kitty/Kelly, it always sounds like Kitty to me but now I wonder if she is saying Kelly? Love your videos.

[@aliceadams560]

The bridges were not my favorite!!! I have a fear of height!!!

[@lindafett1826]

Really weird the older I find myself getting I wouldn't even think about walking on that expansion bridge😳

[@Yvonneb_]

Ive been decluttering my clothes. Im an english size 14, I was finding size 10 and 12s, I cant get into them. So Ive donated them to charity. xx

[@Raminakai]

Speaking of scary noises, do you ever hear coyotes screaming or their eerie yapping? Having spent time in places with howling winds, its the coyotes screaming send chills into my bones. It really sounds like someone is being murdered.. I know they are shy, usually just communicating with each other, generally pose no threat, but their vocalizing at 3 am is certainly intimidating. My dog shakes when she hears it. Any other wildlife that you hear? I have had to minimize my books, which is difficult. Especially my art books, some of which are very heavy. Safe travels...And yes big friendly HELLOs are so nice, but some folks take it the wrong way, so I am careful with that:)) You are beautiful and that sometimes can be a burden. Always refreshing to be able to spend some time in Emi World. Thanks 😊

[@Shel731]

Nice to donate ❤

[@virginiatolles1664]

At one time, you were going to make some changes to your van (interior design changes). Is that still on the agenda?

[@robertsummers753]

You guys lucky you not have a big branch come through your van roof!!! Thats know joke , worst place to be is under trees in wind storm. Glad you guys ok.

[@שניוענונו]

❤️

[@ChloeMMorgan]

Have you thought about buying a weighted blanket to sleep with. I hear they are super awesome for people with anxiety.

[@wishingwelladventures]

❤

[@donnanichols6838]

WOw!!! Do I need to follow your example!!! I have a really hard time getting rid of stuff!!! And I live in a tiny studio apt. The walls are closing in on me!!! I've got too much stuff!!!! And most of it, i never use or even see, because its all buried deep!!! Plus I'm a creative person, so I tend to save things that look like they could be repurposed!!! Thats all well and good, IN MODERATION!!! But I don't have a moderation meter! I just save it all!!! I need to change this about me!!! But how?? I need to have established purge days that I have to get rid of X amount of stuff!!! But can I do that????? THAT IS THE QUESTION!!!! 🍃🤗🍃

[@Miss.RosaMae]

How do I send you stuff in mail emi?

[@debramickley2295]

I don’t like wearing jeans anymore either. They are so uncomfortable !!
