    Before you started talking about being lonely, I could tell you were not yourself. You almost looked depressed. It must be hard. Enjoy your life, go find your friends. Thx Ryan

      definitely i think anyone no matter how much you love this lifestyle would inevitably get lonely and depressed every now and then it prolly doesn’t last too long for some and they go back to feeling like themselves soon after but still it prolly gets to you living like this just like it does everyone else its prolly still far more fulfilling living like this than it is living a normal life just gotta always take care of your mental health even more so than your physical health 👍

    Blue paint in the tree means it’s ok to be cut and orange means to leave the tree. It gets hot in Az and cutting the trees helps prevent large spread if there is a forest fire.

    Having spent a great deal of my life travelling for work and being a lone a LOT. When you spend a great amount of time alone and are used to it, it MAY become difficult to recognize when you are lonely. Your tolerance for being alone is not at a fixed level. It will change over time and as you get older, don't be surprised if you want to spend more time with people. We, as a species, are not meant to live and die alone. It is the shared adventures that are often the best. Rock on.

    I have been living in my van last 2 years and still going strong but I understand that feel of being alone. When I get that feeling I try to remind myself its kinda the price you have to pay for going your own path. There is always option to settle down somewhere but I choose every day to be free and every now and then I just have to face myself in lonely moments. I believe that amount of bullshi in life is standard but you just have choose what kind of bullshi you want to deal with :D

    To combat the constant bug problem you keep having. I’ve seen this on another van life persons video. Which is similar enough that it might work for yours? Why not install a front door screen. So you can have your door open whenever you want without the bugs flying into your van. Hope that helps a bit on your van life journey. Love the video and can’t wait for the next one.

    Tomato soup looks awesome! So many don't strain/sieve it and that step is really important for the texture. Try some basil and a splash of cream next time, you won't regret it! I'm kinda sorry I took my car camper apart for the year already. Too much effort to put it back together, but I've missed a few weekends that some fall camping would have been pretty awesome. Grilled cheese and tomato soup, perfect.

    Have you ever tried to use avocado oil mayo instead of butter to cook your grill cheese sandwich. Freaking delicious, in my opinion, over buttering bread. As for cheese, I like mozzarella, provolone, a boars head spicy Habanero cheese. If you're feeling like adding meat to it, I would suggest Eckrich Farms spicy pineapple ham for a grilled ham and cheese. Lol! I'm hungry now. But I definitely enjoyed the episode and wish you safe travels along your journey.
