Hey, me again.
I'm deep in the mountains of Colorado, I have found myself in a blizzard. With temps dropping to -20°F without wind chill, this is by far the most extreme off grid living I've done yet. I show you what it's like deep in solitude, completely alone in life threatening conditions. I get personal in this video, sharing bits of my diary and what I'm going through... Solitude offers such powerful perspective... I hope you all enjoy this video.
(by the way, Rio's paws are okay)
Lyss.

Hi everyone! Rio's paws are just fine. :) She never showed signs of frostbite (as you saw I checked them constantly), and the bag balm lotion I applied worked great throughout the day. At the time I could not leave camp to buy booties for her, but I assure you she is happy, healthy, still very spoiled, and will have booties next time. Thank you for all the love and concern for Rio. 🐾

Rio is your baby. I had no doubt you were taking care of her. She’s your princess and a very beautiful soul. I mentioned boots for future. I hope I did not come off judging. I did not mean it like that. I am so happy for your new journey and look forward to see where your going and your thoughts. Good vibes your way honey! Much love!! ❤️🦋❤️🦋❤️

Alot of times in extreme cold the normal moisture in the air freezes. 🥶 This makes for a very dry condition. So lips and even animal paws can get dried and chapped. Another sign of this condition is lots of static electricity. ⚡️

@REGRETLYSS. Your furbaby is adorable & seems like she loves that snow! Have you ever tried doggie snow boats? Soft on the inside & waterproof on the outside, she may take a bit to get used to them however they work wonders & are great for snow & also salt used for concrete/asphalt to keep it from being slippery! The salt is definitely terrible for their paws & the doggie boots w/definitely help Rio in the snow! I'm a new sub, 1st time watching your video, you should be a writer & I just love your description of your journey, in your own words, Beautiful, best wishes, stay safe! 👍❤️🙏

There’s so many folks asking why in the world Lyssa chose to go somewhere cold and snowy… some of us actually like the cold, thrive in winter, thrill in the snow. I used to live where she went right after finishing the build. It’s the highest incorporated town in the mainland US and I’m glad I had that experience. What speaks to each of our souls is different and lovely and isn’t that just wonderful?

A quick note about the Tin used for your Coffee Beans @5:20 if I may. I am 57, but my Biological parents divorced when I was 5. My father quickly remarried to a woman who hated anything to do w/ his previous marriage...including me. She beat me and locked me in the attic (in Fla.) and as it became apparent to him, he quickly took me to NC where my mother, who had also recently remarried was settling in. I was only in Florida while they were moving from Colorado, and I was only suppose to be there for an extended visit while they moved (hold on...almost there) I was pretty shell shocked, and really didn't know if anyone really wanted me, and for the first day or two I would go out to play but returned every 15 min. or so to see if mom was still there...and she would give me a shortbread cookie out of an EXACT replica of your tin. Eventually (as my mother told for years) I would stay out a little longer each time, and soon was comfortable enough to realize that I was finally home...finally wanted. And thru-out my life she would tell this story with an ending of: It was a good thing that I finally became comfortable because the cookies had just ran out. Sorry so long, but when I was clicking around, and found this video....when I saw that Tin... I wept. Thank you, and God Bless 🙂

Live life simple as you can, look to God and find peace with him and never look back.

1st time coming across your channel and enjoyed it. When those of us begin to awaken we often search for words to describe our emotions but what we are experiencing goes beyond words. Our soul begins to react to our true awareness our mind has been keeping in the shadows all along. Its at this moment we long for more than we ever knew existed and we see the greatness in everything. Then we begin to notice who is looking back also searching for this greatness which no words can ever define. We start to feel rather than see and know rather than assume. Glad to see you on this path.

It’s always easier from here, the first steps of tomorrow and tomorrow… There will finally be a moment when you realize you don’t have to keep searching, and know that this day and every day that follows, are the ones you’ve been waiting for. Live in that moment, live in each day, thrilling all of your senses with what surrounds, right now. This is when you will love yourself, because you will love life. Trust me, poetry will save you.

@tannhauser5399 Жыл бұрын

@Dan Seals - true that. I've been in Finland, at -30C (-22F), and it was OK. You can cope with it outside, as long as you are moving. Then some place like Oymyakon, with -45C (-58F). Then Australia, 40C+ (104F) for a 1-2 weeks. Or more. This is one amazing planet, as long as you can move around. Some amazing places to see, and experience out there. As for defending? For example, EU is quite safe, especially nothern countries. My god, so much good camping spots there, quite good regarding camping and traveling as a lady. UK (Scotland, Wales, Ireland, south of London too) for example has a lot of places for camping, whole families do that every year, single people included (just a car and a tent will do), and so on. Spain, Portugal, Italy - hell, you can drive through whole Europe in your camping van, as there is plenty of spots for campers. And a lot of people is doing that too. Safety? Sure. Mostly use a common sense. Buy a teaser if you have to, but I've never meet anybody that had to use it in any camping place in EU. Anything more, such as gun? An overkill in EU. Skip this crap if you ever travel here in your van. This is not US. Safety in some of the large cities? Some of the neighbourhoods? Yeah, that is different story, but then again, a common approach and common sense is more than enough to keep you safe. Most of the time, you actually will be OK and you will have no issues at all. Like in any other large city around the globe, just keep your eyes open. Safety in small towns and villages? Not an issue. Quite the opposite. A lot of friendly people, curious too, and willing to help you or give you some advices of what to see in any local area.

I never let anybody take me OFF my planned route and always told them my family was waiting for me and that my brother was former Military Intelligence, now FBI. NEVER had except one problem.and I was able to get out of his truck and book it away to hide it was in rural Idaho.

Helps me me feel not so isolated with my internal struggles I battle with. Thank you! Interested in the enchilada bake! Jackfruit tacos looked delicious. Unsolicited safety suggestion inbound: when cooking and cutting with your knife.. try holding the handle with your middle, ring, and pinkie fingers. Rest your index finger flat against the blade near the handle (curl the finger back toward the handle), and position your thumb on the opposite side of the blade. This will just add more control and stability. This could avoid any unwanted kitchen mishaps! (Speaking from unfortunate experience) Just a suggestion and do whatever you’re most comfortable with! :)

I have not watched many episodes of your channel. But this one really resonates. I think it benefits the mind/soul when we push ourselves beyond our comfort zones. I come from the north, and throughout my upbringing saw temperatures of -40 F or so many winters, yet always wondered what it would be like to be in extreme cold. So much was my curiosity that one winter I left a comfy store job to work on a seismic crew next to the Arctic Ocean. 12 hour workdays walking around the tundra on the night shift with howling winds that made the wind chill far colder than the -47 F temp( -87 C one night). Despite frostbite, and having to see the world through half shut eyes(wind and wind-blown ice particles) it was a surreal experience, kind of like being on another planet, I suppose. But the display of northern lights, and the stars above, made it all so strangely calming to my soul. I think you have touched on these kinds of enlightening feelings that come with the cold season, and our exploration of our physical and mental limits. You are doing wonderful work with your channel, and if I may say so, you are a very lovely lady...

An awesome video! Some ideas you might consider on your rig: starting either for cold weather to help start the engine in cold weather. A little spray in the air cleaner will really help the 7.3 start in winter time. A little goes a long way though. Too much and you will blow the heads off the engine. It’s cheap at Walmart to buy starting either. Another thing I started doing was changing the engine oil to a synthetic oil for the engine and rear axle. I use Amsoil synthetic. A little bit more expensive but it’s superior to any petroleum based oil. Regular oil gets really thick in cold weather but synthetic oil is not affected by cold weather. Buy a couple of quarts , synthetic and regular oil and leave it outside one night and see which one pours in the morning. All engine wear occurs at engine start as the bearings have no oil and the oil is really thick in the oil pan due to the cold weather. Synthetic oil will not thicken when cold and the 7.3 will start easy. The synthetic makes a huge difference in winter an summer. But if the engine leaks oil then don’t buy the synthetic. Too expensive. Gorgeous video! I’m subscribed!

Hello from the mountains here on the East Coast ... ok ... the big hills here on the East Coast. I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but it was something I did while I was in the Army. Most of the vehicles we used (including my tank ... yup, I drove (and lived off of) a tank) used diesel engines like your tiny home (on wheels) and often enough we found ourselves in equally bad winter conditions. What we did, to ensure that our engines didn't freeze up was to literally set a schedule where we would start the engines up ever few hours (it depended on fuel availability ... tanks guzzle fuel like no one's business) to make sure they would crank; first time and just let them run for about 10 minutes. Being alone, I might incorporate that into your daily extreme-camping to-do list. I know you have a lot of really intelligent back-ups built into your rig, so I'm probably just worrying after nothing, but your engine is your most important energy source and so, you have to take care of it. The one cool thing I did notice on another build though, if you have the alternator(s) rigged the right way, you can have it pre-set to start the engine up and supply energy to your batteries and heat to your truck if your batteries hit a certain number or if certain sensors start to show that pipes or tanks are starting to freeze. Maybe something for the future. Sooooooo, good luck with everything and I look forward to seeing your next video.

It's nice to watch different things, especially when it's a subject that you don't know much about. You're one tough person and doing a great job handling it too. I liked the video and also when you were doing the sponsor clip and you could see your dog's head on the right side as he was just laying back and sleeping. Your dog is cool. Well, I hope you find what you're looking for.
