Sarah don't be like your lefty cousin. Get a pistol and a carry permit for safety. Pepper spray doesn't work.

You and your cousin are some of the most generic boring personalities out there and are the type of people that do this lifestyle because it’s trendy not because you’re actually passionate

@neal99 2 ай бұрын

You're such an inspiration Nikki and have so much influence on Sarah I've loved watching your videos the last few years and seeing Sarah mature over these years and seeing her out there on her own is awesome I wish the best for both of you stay safe and I might have a couple gems for you out west if you would like to hear

I would recommend getting a Thule Bin for the roof of your suv. They can free up a lot of space in the main part of the car but they are far more secure than you car. When you go on a hike you can put your expensive gear in the Thule Bin. So much harder to break into them than it is to pop a window in the car.

@gasolinefumes 2 ай бұрын

A good idea, but it will negatively affect fuel economy, especially on the highway. Another option with minimal impact on MPG is a hitch-mounted cargo basket, but those can get in the way.

Both great ideas.

4:20 there are expanding clothes hanging rods that hook onto your grab handles that could be multi function for you including more hang drying space. There’s a million and one different organizers that could make your life easier but if you ever decide to do any building I would personally put in a long drawer for under your stuff like you see some van lifers use for a pull out kitchen.

Everybody seems to be getting pets to travel with , dogs for protection , and cats for company . Sarah you should get an attack cactus ! You can leave it alone and not have to worry about feeding it and it would keep you company ! Stay safe !

I own a 2022 RAV4 hybrid, I’m 6’1" and it would be cramped for me, you’re right , not much room. Now I have a little experience living in a vehicle, I was homeless for 2+ years and one year of that was sleeping in a Chevy HHR, also compact, but the rear seats leveled out rather well, unlike my RAV4 . I do like the 40 mpg of the RAV4 ,but then again the HHR got 35 mpg. Great going, enjoy your travels, I couldn’t see traveling alone, I’m not a big time people person but , it’s all I can do from having panic attacks when traveling alone, part of that is due to my age (67) and health concerns.

@kurtburkhardt5862 2 ай бұрын

You seem pretty organized and have most of what you need. You didn't show it but a small backpacking propane stove can do a lot and not take up much room. A water filter can help as well when you are boondocking and need water. The Rav4 is a nice roomy vehicle, gets good gas mileage and is super reliable. We bought one for our daughter. Nice to not have to worry too much about your home having issues.

@brandonkellerdotnet 2 ай бұрын

Additional Gear: SIG P365 -or- Smith & Wesson M&P 380 SHIELD EZ I know, I know - not everyone is a gun person. But I'd want more than pepper spray if it were my girls doing this for those solo off-grid camping excursions. When my daughters moved out, I made sure they each had the M&P 380 SHIELD EZ, were comfortable manipulating it, and were adequately trained with several hours put in at the range. Anyway, enough of the "Daddy Soapbox". :) Keep up the videos and content! You're doing a fantastic job.

I like that idea of collecting pamphlets of your visits. I did something similar as a kid. I collected state road maps on the family road trips. Unfortunately I no longer have them. Map apps on devices are useful. But they don’t show all the roads unless you zoom in on a particular area. Paper maps are more helpful in that regard.

Thank you Sarah for a wonderful insight on how you store and live in your car. Lots of nice suggestions listed here so I won't add anymore, at least not now. OH, I always like to take my US map and take a marker to trace the roads I travel on and make tiny note along the way of places to return to or just fun info. If you are ever up in Northern Utah ( we live in Midway just south of Park City) you are welcome to stop, rest and explore from here. Stay safe, hugs from the old man in Utah.
