Love being outdoors? I am excited to share my best experiences with you whether it be camping, canoeing, cooking , hiking or travelling in our RV. My goal is to encourage all people to try to get out there in whatever capacity you can regardless of your age ,ability or gender. The outdoors has something magical to offer all of us. Please join me on my adventures whether large or small. There are opportunities for challenges or deep rest. For me the outdoors is a place of infinite discovery as well as my source of restoration, personal peace and joy.
How I Reset and Rebalance- Taking Time out
Please come along on with me as I enjoy a late summer overnight in a local campground. Enjoy a calming paddle along the lake shore, a simple but tasty dinner and a gorgeous and quiet evening by the campfire. Stepping back from the day to day gives me the space I need to reassess what I value and return home refreshed. #solocamping #womencamping #simpleliving

Please come along and meet our new family member, Milo. He is a 5 year old Jindo cross rescued from a high kill kennel in Korea. He came to us August 25 and we have all been working at our own adjustments and attachments since! Right now he requires a lot of our time as change is very hard for him.

Am I Too Old For This?
Переглядів 94 тис.2 місяці тому
Do you ever ask yourself that question? Many of us do , especially as we age. I was recently doing a solo overnight camp out and found some of the effort required to do what needed to be done caused me to reflect on that question- Am I too Old? What keeps us going, and when is enough enough- all relevant questions to consider. #solocamping #womencamping #oldercampers

Feeling Disappointed- solo overnight
Переглядів 90 тис.3 місяці тому
Rain and wind shortened and altered my plans for a 2 night camp out in a recreation back road campsite. Plans to explore the lake and check out a few campsites off shore failed to materialize. I was able to enjoy myself for the one great afternoon but wind kept me off the water. I still enjoyed what I could salvage of this trip but also felt disappointed. #solocamping #womencamping #backroadcam...

Water in the Hot Tent- I need your help! plus a review of the Isola 4 tent and the Firehiking stove
I look forward to your vids..so calming and zen-like..always informative and beautiful scenery..didn't hear the loons..always a beautiful forlorn sound..curious on how much the clipper weighs..anyhow thanks Wendy..hope to see you soon!
Your videos restore thoughts and ideals that I can easily lose in the business of the day to day. Thank you Wendy, I'm guessing that your gentle sharing heals a lot of people. Also, that video shot after your paddle before dinner with the sun rays coming in behind your chair....prize winning!
Gosh Wendy I just love your videos. They’re so encouraging and really make me want to get out!
Wendy, I’m a 75 yr. old girl, with multiple health issues BUT, I have bought my 5th tent to allow me to carry on! I can no longer backpack or crawl in and out of my beloved 4-season backpacking tent. My new tent is huge, easy to set up, even with my bad back, and can accommodate 2 or 3 cots, just in case I find a friend who likes to camp. I use a carbon fiber hi-tech walker that’s designed for trails and has a built in seat. I taught skiing in Colorado for 20 years and believe me, it’s been a hard realization that I can no longer hike into and camp in the most beautiful wildernesses in the world. As long as I can drive, I will continue to camp out and enjoy small slices of great mountains and serenity. Aging is a mindset and learning to adapt, while continuing to do the things that you love. 💕
What a beautiful, relaxing respite you gave us all with this sweet sharing. Thank you!
I've been looking for your next video. Glad to see this one. All summer I kept saying just go for one night and I haven't. You've given me a push for some fall camping. Nature does heal the soul and the body.
I absolutely love your videos,they are so relaxing to watch. My daughter just brought me home from having a biopsy done at the hospital and when we were leaving i got your notification and i was so excited, your video with your peaceful adventure is exactly what I needed❤ thank you!
What an amazing place, so peaceful, and a lovely lady you are. Will be so great when you can take Milo with you.
👍👍
you just can't beat being outdoors, good medicine ..thank you Wendy for your videos
What a great campsite Wendy!❤❤
Such a beautiful location Wendy. Thank you for taking us along with you.❤
Love your videos, just fantastic! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
❤❤❤❤❤
You're correct. Physically being in nature and doing what you've done to recenter is perfect for me, too. Thank you for sharing your life and philosophy.
Wendy, I was wondering how you like the CX5, and if you think it has enough space in the rear cargo area to haul a lot of camping gear for multiple people to do a week long camping trip?
I was packing my camping gear onto my scooter ready for another trip into the Welsh mountains when my Grand Daughter and her work friend visited. Too polite to say anything, but it was obvious the friend was surprised that I still go camping at 80. My Grand Daughter's explanation nicely summed up what you said in your video, Wendy, because she said to her friend, " It's his Nature medicine for his soul" 😊
Simply INSPIRING !!!! Thank you for sharing your adventures…..
Wendy that was amazing! I was about to go into a store and just sat in my car in the parking lot and so enjoyed this. I hear you about reset and adjusting to our new normals❤ making it work allows us the peace that some miss as they rush thru the world. Thank you for all you do for me😊was glad to hear about Milo and he will be excited you came home 🏡 ❤
I am very excited to see you there, Wendy. So sserene and peaceful. Beautiful spot!!
❤ so good to rebalance, you are such a inspiration.❤
You said it! I have had a VERY stressful few years (awful ex-husband, working long hours to finish raising kids to pay bills that are too numerous, etc) and every time I would go out into the woods to camp all of those worries would just float off my shoulders. It was magical. I knew they were still there waiting for me when I got home, but I felt like I could literally take a break from them and be at peace. (Also, you are my idol! Thank you for being such a remarkable inspiration.)
❤❤❤❤❤
Wendy, you are always a source of inspiration, thank you!
What a wonderful video to watch after a stressful day at work! Thank you
What a beautiful day, thank you once again for sharing it with us!
Thank you for taking us along. Beautiful video.
What a beautiful campsite. Another great video. Thank you for taking us along. 😊
After being in a terrential downpour on my last camping trip where the inside of my tent got soaked, lol, I'm looking for one like yours. I need a much simpler set up. Love your videos. They always make me want to get back out there in nature.
Wendy, you are always an inspiration . You are amazing. 💞
Watching your videos calms me down. So peaceful there 🎉
What a beautiful day ❤. Outdoors always resets me as well. Great reminder that it's time to head outside.
What a lovely campsite and paddle upon the beautiful lake! I'm watching while eating breakfast and will get ready for work shortly, so a nice way to start my workday. Thanks Wendy! Jenny USA
It's always great when your videos arrive! Im just enjoying my morning coffee. You are so right about the rebalancing getaways. I would be, shall we say, a tad eccentric by now had I not honored my need for such challenges and getaways over the years. This summer i camped at and swam in beautiful lakes in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Stay well. 👍😎🇨🇦🔥🩵🌲🌿🌾🍂
I can reset vicariously when you are out there paddling. Love it, thank you Wendy.
Such a beautiful campsite and so peaceful. You do well with the dryer lint, a friend of mine also swears by it. For me, I have a lot of wax left over from candle-making days. I get wood chips and put them in cupcake liners and pour some wax on them and they work super well. I'm thinking you have a good idea to just go out for a night somewhere nearby to reset. Thanks for sharing your camp with us.
What a stunning campsite! That’s great that the park brings you firewood, too. 🌲🏕️🪵🌲
wow he is beautiful! im so glad he found a nice home with you guys! you seem like wonderful people
Simply stunning location. You're getting good at the youtube thing 😉 Next time I think a quick dip in the water is needed. Could you drop in a general map of your camping locations?
I seen a video post from you yesterday. You are such inspiration. Here I'm 52 and thinking she is amazing that i could and should be still be loving life. I'm thinking life as i know it was over I'm stage 5 kidney failure and will be spending rest of my life on dialysis i was giving up. Watching your video post yesterday got me thinking it don't have to be. I could still have healthy happy life camping doing things i used to love. I think utube needs to share your videos on everyone feed it could really inspire people bring them outta the funk they are in. Much love life and happiness sweet lady. What area you in?
Simply stunning location. You're getting good at this youtubing thing 😉 I think a quick dip in the cold water would have been awesome....perhaps next time. Could you consider dropping in a map on your general locations. Thanks for the video
Beautiful! Best, Maria
It’s a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
