Great decision to leave. Sometimes they lurk and come back. Anyone who does not listen and keeps walking towards barking dogs could be dangerous. I keep several items that double as weapons, including a heavy long distance lantern that I can blind someone with if necessary and a police siren. I also try to stay connected and had an app that sends automatic emergency signals to family/friends and local law enforcement. (will be looking for a new one.) Next trip, I will install my motion sensor lights on the side of my van, set to emergency flashing if something as tall as a human gets near the van at night.

Just landed on your channel looks great. Here in the USA my wife and I are super alert/protected on the road being two women alone. We've lived the van life. Back then we had just our Aussie. Sorry, love him and he would die for us but it wasn't enough for me to go back on the road. We recently picked up a new trailer and a new puppy. Our Doberman is full grown now. He's 95 pounds, and he's ready to roll. I don't think I would try to stop him from eating a man who stopped to yell at my wife. I'd say, do your thing boy. If that didn't work, my unfriendly male stranger would then meet Mr. Smith & Wesson. I'm done playing ladies, I'm done playing. After a young female couple was murdered in Utah at Moab national park that was it for us. Around the world we are under attack and here in the states it's real bad. We are done playing around. I'm a combat veteran and I'm done playing with these guys.

Yup. My partner and I were snoozing at a quiet rest stop on Vancouver Island. We were the only car there when a car came in and did controlled skids and donuts directly at our vehicle...laying down a lot of rubber. It then went and idled a little way away for a minute and then started again. We eventually started up and slowly drove past them when they parked a second time. One of us took footage of some of these dangerously close skids while the other hopped into the driver seat. We called the RCMP when we were safely on the highway. There was a recorded message inviting us to leave a message. No one ever called us back. It was truly scary.

Good morning ladies. Hope your travels have been nothing but wonderful. I have a couple more tips I thought I would share, and maybe you could pass along to others. If you use an ice chest, or your frig gets sunlight we bought the silver insulation that you put on windows, and cut it to fit around the ice chest. Then take velcro that is sticky on one side and glue it to the insulation where it over laps around the chest. After that, cut a piece to reach from just below the lid in the back to just over the lid in the front and add velcro there. That way it is sealed all the way around. The velcro on the front allows you to still use the chest. As long as you keep it from direct sunlight it will keep ice for days this way. I also bought a large heavy weight piece of canvas and stitched an emergency (reflective space blanket) to the canvas, then put snaps on it and screwed snaps into the outside frame around the windshield. When you put this on it will cut the heat about 20 degrees. You have to stop the sun from hitting the glass to keep the temps down. This also works on all windows. You will be amazed how much of a difference there will be. Also holds heat in when it is cold. Stay safe.

When we camped in our truck with a canopy on it we mounted a 4" pvc pipe with a vent cap on top, and a hose connection on the back end. Hook a hose to the end and open vent to fill with water, close vent until ready to shower. Water heated by the sun, crack the vent and hook up the hose and you have hot water to shower. Drop a bar of soap in an old nylon and tie it where you are going to shower- never falls, and never dirty. Enjoy your days

New sub, and I am enjoying your video and your puppers. It's sad we have to be on such high alert and as you cannot carry in Canada, Bear spray is an option but wasp spray may be a better one. Bear spray is pepper spray and once you shoot it off, unless you are with the wind the spray back can affect you and your dogs as well. Keep alert and stay safe.

I just found your channel... I'm glad you two got out of there. I'm a 62-year-old gay woman; I've known so many wonderful men in my life who really get it. Many of my best friends are men and they all understand - to the best of their ability - what women encounter out in the world. I was astounded, however, during the recent 'Would you rather see a bear or a strange man in the woods?' conversation, at how many guys STILL don't get it. Guys, THIS is what women deal with. Being 'scoped out.' Being approached for no good reason. A woman (or women, in this case) who has driven out into the middle of nowhere is probably looking for solitude. She is not sitting there hoping that some man (or anyone else, for that matter) will come along to keep her company. There is absolutely NO reason to approach her. Ladies, I do look forward to seeing all of your future - hopefully, uneventful - travels.

I have recently been following a single Norwegian girl on her motorbike travelling solo from Norway to Nepal. She is in Saudi Arabia at the moment and you might find it hard to believe but since hearing your scary story, unbelievable though it may seem I think she is more safe in Saudi than the US. Traditionally Saudi’s welcome all strangers, she camps and also stays in free accommodation on the way. It was definitely the correct move to tell your story. Sad to say but maybe your outside showering is what turned this prick on. In Saudi they have very strict police, emergency tel numbers, so far she says she feels very safe.
