    I don't think people realize how much effort goes into shooting and editing a video like this. The skiing segment alone would have taken hours. Nice segue as u jumped from the van into your skis! The giant sequoia tress were amazing

    First visit to your channel and loving the decor of your van. Especially the area when you open the side door. All makes sense the rack for your coat, hat and even gloves when you come in. The stair area that keeps the ‘snowy” boot in its on place and a nice warm footwear to walk about in the van as it keeps it clean. Just love the sliding door, back splash and just everything. Cute litle window above the sink. Dinner is looking great and making me hungry. Enjoy.

    Thanks for another great video ! Oh, the reason for the lake trout and salmon similarities is that they both are of the same Salmonidae family. The taste comes from one being salt water grown mainly and the other all freshwater grown. A rainbow trout will grow to become a steelhead salmon as well for a little extra fun fact. Although a salmon is always a salmon from day one. However if a rainbow does not migrate to the sea it will remain a rainbow trout and not make that transformation to a steelhead.

    I have questions! I hope I didn't get too personal. 🤭
    💠How does your family like you travelling like you do - especially alone?
    💠Do you talk to your family often?
    💠Have you ever had a close encounter with a rogue wild animal?
    💠Has an animal ever destroyed your tent or taken your food?
    💠What is your plan if you ever get seriously hurt? (broken arm/broken leg) You are alone!
    On another note - I absolutely LOVE your van! It's better than some houses!
    Thank you for sharing these videos! I love them and look forward to each and every upload!

    • @TravelersTale
      @TravelersTale  Рік тому +4

      My family loves watching my videos, so we’re all good there. I talk to them almost every day.
      I’ve had quite a few encounters with animals but never had to deploy a weapon. Luckily I’ve only been false charged as a warning. But I’ve been within arms reach of bears, moose, elk, and porcupines!
      Manyyyy animals have taken my food but never out of my tent. There was even a time an animal broke open an unopened plastic jug of milk I had buried under rocks in a river to keep cold.
      When skiing in the backcountry, I carry an avalanche beacon that is relayed by nearly all equipped ski areas. Other than that, my phone has satellite capabilities for emergencies.
