Four years and just got the knock? That just proves that you’re very respectful.
Being in a minivan makes all the difference! Absolutely the most stealth. ❤
The only weirdo is the Busybody that called the cops…..
Your right there!!
what cops?????????????????
@@395joe8
Did you not watch the entire video????????????????????????????
Karens a beautiful name, don’t perpetuate the hate!
@@LightIceLightCreamNoSugar
👍✌️
It’s always best to support local shops like that nice coffee shop. ☕️
There is no law that says you can’t take pictures of people as long as you’re in public. You can take pictures of all the people you want. There’s no expectation of privacy in public.
That’s true I watch those frauditors LMFAO
Suspicion is not a crime and never answer cop questions .u got lucky.
Nobody wants to be on camera. Have some courtesy for other people
@@mwhappy24 then, I guess people shouldn't go out in public anymore, because in urban areas... everyone is on camera. I've never seen Chantel deliberately " film" anyone in particular, only people that might get into her shots.... Legally, there's no expectation of privacy in public. ( It's part of the first amendment).
@@lorrie5881 Not really they can out in public like anyone. Remember the weirdo in that scenario is the one filming people.
People used to call the police on me when i parked (pick up/drop off)outside my kids' school for being suspicious. It was a public street outside the school or in the parking lot where they went to school for 9 years. Annoying people need to realize the actual creepy people are getting away with stuff because the nosy people focus on normal folks. Glad the police where chill. I'm black and extremely paranoid of incidents like this!
That view at the end of the cacti silhouetted against the fluffy clouds in the blue sky was like a postcard!! So gorgeous. ❤️
My little Apt is $1,320, so I really want to start traveling again, but w/ A/C! Last year, I lived in my Jeep, and nothing screams "homeless" like having my 3 front covered. So I left the front/side windows uncovered. I had a black curtain between the front & back seat. My bed was down on the floorboard with black blankets, so my legs from hip to toe were hidden. I was so low on the floor, so people never realized that I was inside, morning, noon or night. So I was able to park in any RICH neighborhood, so no more searching for a place to park, and I was never harassed or listening to every little noise and I could sleep in everyday.
I'm from New York - born and raised here my whole live, been up and down the east coast but never west into the desert. Cacti the size of trees will never not blow my mind. They look so cool!
Arizona HOA is a mecca for Karens, a tattle tale city of frustrated housewives.
And men are all normal?
I luv this comment and so true however my ex husband was the Pres. Of the HOA board in Round Tree ranch when we lived there like forever.
@@debslifesimplified6406 In Glendale, they developer had a list of approved trees to plant in the front yard. We lived in Avondale, and one day of not putting in the garbage can, the next business day, we received a stamped mail from the HOA about it. That was probably the fastest mail we ever received.
@@marianfrances4959 Mostly biologically born "females"...as my mom would say, because they have too many "lips."
@@normalperson9646Wtf??
I am glad that everything turned out OK. I still love and adore can life. I am now currently documenting my own journey on my youtube channel. Thank you for sharing.
Makes me happy that I’ve never had a cup of coffee of any sort in my entire life @ $5
Yeah, who wants to spend $5.00 on ice and a little coffee?
I'm sorry you got the knock. That would stress me out. If I ever do van life (which I'm definitely hoping to!) I would probably avoid most cities like you do. Nature is what brings me joy.
Yesssss 🙌 🌳
Life is like a bowl of cherries...you never know what you are going to get.Glad you both are ok.
🕊️
Happy Sunday. You are awesome. Sorry about the knock. You are awesome!! 😊
It's actually kind of cool the way that you get to meet people and sometimes they turn out good.
Many neighborhoods in AZ are even worse. Some have parks that are completely private property even though they aren’t gated. They belong to the neighborhood and its residents. No tax dollars go into maintenance. It’s all paid for by HOA money. That’s how it is in Estrella Mountain Ranch in Goodyear AZ. I really liked living there…wish I still did.
I love your videos. It's always so relaxing to go along with you on your daily activities even if there is some excitement sometimes! Living in Florida I get a big kick just seeing the cactus!😊
Let’s raise our hands for the nice and sane weirdos! 🖐🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 I say I’m the biggest weirdo, but it’s a nerdy type of weirdo, and I’m happy to be different! Never a cop calling weirdo though! Unless my life or property is in danger, I leave them alone to do their jobs in peace. Glad you got all you errands taken care of and you’re on to your next adventure. 🥰🙏🏽✌🏽🫶🏽
Holy smokes !! I thought I was reading it wrong . The cops were called on YOU of all people … omg … one of the sweetest & kind souls ever 😇
Sorry for that ridiculousness!
I will say unknown to you , they have had lots of problems in the Mesa / Gilbert area with strange and unusual people . But filming a sign ?!! OMG .
At least you had a yum coffee drink and you enjoyed a laundry 🧺 stop 😄
Glad Hotel WM worked out & wishing you good vibes on the next journey 🚗 ps . Hi to Lil boy Joey 🐶
🥰
Sounds like amazing and down to earth police. Enjoying your video.
It’s sad but better safe than sorry.
Ha ha ha ha, I can't imagine someone, anyone mistaking you for a predator. Dang girl, that isn't a very friendly HOA. And do they own the park? If so, they need to put out privacy signs for HOA members only. I'm glad the COPS was nice and understanding. Hope you got Joey some food. Safe travels and peace out.
Lol right?! So silly.
She was in a neighborhood park, meaning That particular subdivision paid to have the park put there. The HOA dues pay for upkeep of that park. Plus with the elementary school right behind yeah an over zealous HOA member got suspicious. But your not a creep far from it. A lot of folks still don't understand vanlife it's not normal to them.
Most Predators are pretty inconspicuous, you’d be surprised. ✌🏻
HOA member here, and yeah - HOAs attract all sorts of petty tyrants. We have a city park right across the street bordering one side of our neighborhood and you'd think the neighborhood owns it the way some of them try and police the park. 🙄
Wow it was my first time seeing your van life and it brought back memories in the late seventies I lived in Apache Junction it was just desert then and then I lived in Mesa and tempe, so to see everything so developed I was very shocked and enjoyed you personally
I live in a very wealthy neighborhood. I spend a lot of time in my van at parks. I get called on to the police often. It's to the point that I expect it.
I mind my own business. Nosey people everywhere.
~ Scary Mary 🦋
Yep I got the sheriff called on me last night. I was just sitting there minding my own business watching a movie and car showed up and left then 20 minutes later sheriff showed up. Seriously I was not parked anywhere near anyone, nor at a no overnight parking
Happy Sunday Chantel. Hugs to u and Joey.
Karen’s gonna Karen 😂 but at least the cops were cool and now you have a new subscriber 👍🏼
Happy 🎉 to see a vid!
You and Joey are loved ♥️
great video. enjoy your travels
Good for you with also keeping your chill.
I’m loving your hair! Love the colours! So pretty 😊❤
I'm glad you explained about the cops. I was going to ask you what that was all about. It's rainy here today too. Love you.❤
Nice vid.
Good to see you again
I'm not sure why, but I really enjoy watching you take care of all the things! Happy travels!
People need to stop. That’s ridiculous. Stay safe. 😊
Hi Chantelle, you handled very scary situation beautifully! They are just doing their job keeping us all safe! 🤎🐾🐾
I’m thankful the police are there checking things out especially since there is a school close by. I know you are not a creeper but someone else could be. ♡
THIS !!!! All these ppl calling the person a Karen for calling. I have seen to many of these calls where the person ,and yes one call was a WOMEN. AND one was a couple. They were sex offenders and stalked the children. I'm so so disappointed in all these people talking crap saying she was harassed and the caller was a Karen. This is really nothing to be making jokes at. 😭
If theres a school nearby, that makes it a little easier to digest since children are our mostvulnerable. Be safe. 😊😊
Great video! Happy Sunday! Glad you didn't get the knock and are safe.
So, while I was in Scottsdale getting the ceramic coating applied to Fannie Mae, I was staying at the local Cracker Barrel. Just shortly before midnight, I got my very first knock. It seems that if a Cracker Barrel is on privately owned (industrial private property), you can't stay overnight. So I found my way to a neighborhood that was just a few minutes away from where I needed to drop off Fannie Mae! I'm looking forward to seeing where your next adventures take you 🎉
My London Fogs cost me close to $10 lol. $5 is a steal❤
You are getting robbed.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Karen! 🥰💖
Well Arizona HOA’s! What more can anyone say?
Nice to hear some Aussie INXS 🎶 when you walked into the laundromat.
Love your hair color!
I was just in Apache junction on the 22nd to the 24th! We were visiting my aunties who are snowbirds from ND and they each have little mobile homes in a couple of the parks . We went through the Superstition mountains on Saturday to Tortilla Flat, so beautiful out there! Sorry some lame people called the cops on you. Take care!
So glad to see you. We have a salad to go place that just opened up next to a gym. I think it does well there. I did get a salad and it was a lot. I had some left over and ate it for dinner.
Totally agree about not liking cards for laundry. No refunds for remaining funds. I'm traveling with cards of leftover funds. Yikes. I love me some quarters ❤❤
Crazy that we missed each other. I spend alot of time at Desert Arroyo park. One of the best kept secrets in my opinion. Cops have never had the guts or legitimate reason to approach me, and I'm there alot. They dried looking in my van with a drone once. And once a cop waited at the school & followed me out to the road. But again, no probable cause or guts to come talk to me. Maybe it's because I'm a traveling gospel minister & they'r afraid I'm going to tell them the good news about Jesus Christ and everlasting life in the ages to come.😄 Happy travels! ✨️🚐✨️
I love that laundromat!
It makes me think about how our efforts to live in harmony with nature have led to such inconvenient events.
I would like to express my respect and support for the courage in continuing to walk that path.
Have a happy evening.
Also good video. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy your life. Hugs to Joey
Your hair color is beautiful… love your videos ❤️🥰
Your view that morning was insanely awesome. I live in Oklahoma and never have been there to Arizona.
That person who called on you, they must not realize they are photographed almost everyday everywhere they go in town. Lol.
Well, now that they know you I doubt you will get "the knock" there! I hope you get more subscribers from the town, and be much more welcome when you pass through again. Stay safe.
Geez, note to self.. i never film where there is a playground or kids. Stay safe out there girl! ❤❤
Cute nail polish color
I don't think anyone was in the wrong. One person called the cops just to be safe and you weren't doing anything wrong and explained things to the cops! Sounds like everyone did good.
You have every LEGAL right to record at any public place.
Being a normal person is debatable 😂 keep safe , keep sharing. ❤ keep on truckin.
Many ppl are nothing like her and not doing what she's doing. Others can't tell the difference when stuff like this happens. I'm glad the cops and and they were doing their jobs. 🙏💞
I recently acquired a conversion van and plan on traveling,.a little leery
How are you doing with it ? I was thinking about doing the same. But I just don't think I can be stealth enough with the trailer behind. Have you been out long or not even tried it yet ?
Oh cool I just saw the sign for Raindance Resort....I use to live there and miss it.
I live in Apache Junction for half the year! Soon to be traveling even more!
Funny how people assume they're so important that you'd want to take a picture of a stranger. People are nuts
You don't watch the news often do you
That's the transplants from California and the East Coast pushing that paranoia 😮
Awesome!! 👍😎🇨🇦
I haven’t seen you in a long time ,miss you
My dog is also allergic to so many foods! He has to eat a prescription food called Derm Complete! It is a food for both environmental allergies and food allergies!
I love the dodge caravans I used have I had to wreck it 2 weeks ago cuz it pulled a rod in the engine at 130,000 miles ! I love ur videos but I was wandering did you keep that conversion van u were gonna build out or did you sell it !! But if you need sum more head room you can always put a turtle top on it like in the dodge ram van conversion vans have it gives you a little bit more room and sum cabinet spaces too along with a option of a tv too with a DVD space
I DID ENJOY the video
Hello from Apache junction 👋 we just got a new coffee shop that opened up it's called gravity coffee haven't tried it yet but heard it's good. For pet food I always go to the tractor supply store it's a bit cheaper than shoppers. Also was just hiking up there in the mountain the day before the storm and almost stepped on a rattlesnake in the trail the weather is so up and down right now. So Welcome and enjoy your stay! !
Taking video in public is not illegal. It’s also Not illegal to video people. So their proactive policing is a form of bullying. Would end up in court. Cost the cities money. FYI the city of Gilbert and mesa record you.
This makes me furious.
I'm a newbie, and I want to ask, don't you guys have like motor camps/camping grounds over there? I'm in nz, and we can go to a camp. Get a non-powered site for about $15 a night. Includes use of kitchen, bathrooms, laundry maybe a pool or beach, free wifi, water, etc. If you did this once a week, it'd be cheaper than paying separately to get chores done. It's also way safer and nicer than a wallmart. There's an app to look up pet friendly ones, too. In NZ, but I hear the USA is ahead of time 😂 Happy travels 💐
I'll add an invite to my country whenever you like. It's a great place to 'freedom camp' 😊
Yep the US is way behind the times, love from your cousin across the ditch.
Awww sorry Chantelle. I got the knock recently so unpleasant. Hi Joey. This seems pretty unreasonable though you were in a oublic place! I'm glad they were so nice though.
Here is a coffee on me. I always enjoy your videos Thanks!
Thank you so much, Deb! ❤❤❤
@@MyBasicJourney your quite welcome.
It didn't show my amount. These new changes take some getting used to.
I've been to Apache Junction. It was a cute little area
When you stay at a Walmart do you need to go in and ask first ?
Karens are migrating everywhere so be on the lookout
I love the color of your hair right now. It is amazing.
Looking forward to your next adventure! Stay safe.
Hey I know that spot, it’s gorgeous! so happy you got to see the “evil” cows lol
Newsflash......we're all weirdos to be on this planet living like we are.
My only caveat to the you can film whomever you choose is my life as the daughter of a Deputy US Marshal who worked in witness protection and this cavalier attitude of I will do why I want an endanger others...some might be fleeing abuse or in witness protection...there are so many things it can jeopardise and I wish it were not the new norm. You did nothing wrong and I adore you and cannot imagine you doing anything to hurt anyone but there are real dangers out there and I was traumatised as a child by my dad's job. I had unpublished numbers...no name on our mailbox, and we were (my sister and I) were followed and threatened when she tried to take me to see 101 Dalmatian's. Believe me...there are situations when people should be able to maintain their safety, too. It's all give and take. Take care and xoxo to Joey! 🩵
That salad looks amazing!
Well good morning Chantelle and Joey look like a pretty nice video except for a knock knock that must be a pretty secured place but wonderful video anyways and those mountains look beautiful. What a beautiful looking desert. I’m just sitting here this morning having some coffee Sunday morning watching your video and as usual fantastic video and you look nice, so be safe and take care of yourself and Joey. See you later bye.
On chore days I drop off my laundry and let them do it while I do my other stuff; shopping etc. it’s just a little more money and I save all that time
I didn’t think there were any Walmarts left you could overnight at. I’m not a city person either.
Love your normal van life days 🫶🏼🚐
Wow, that "karen" who called the cops must have a dirty secret on someone to have that kind of pull!!
Those cops were out of line. You had every right to sit in that park and do whatever you want as long as its legal.
Just wow.
My dog now eats Just Food For Dogs venison, and the venison jerky treats, she had terrible skin allergies 😢 get better Joey 😊
What is the update on the other van you bought?
My third time sleeping at a walmart i got the knock. The guy said there was too much crime. That was in Columbia SC.
Sorry we left you Chantelle! We had to get back into civilization lol. See you on the road! Safe Travels! 🤙🏾
I am truly so sorry to hear this. Any one who knows anything about You would Only Respect You. 😊
Can you please tell us what the exact color of your nail polish is?? It’s sooo pretty. Happy travels from an east coast camping girl..
so may I ask where you shower or use a washroom?
I feel ya! Had the police called on me three times. One said he's getting sick and tired of people trying to make the situation sound terrible to get them to respond more quickly. HOMELESS PEOPLE VISITING OUR BEAUTIFUL PARK!! OHMYGOSH! ridiculous
Yeah. Me 2.
I almost expect now.
~ 🦋
Wow, I never knew you were an outlaw. 😁
Me either😘now I love her even more🥰😁🤣🥳💝
It seems every area has a "Karen" that thrives on starting problems over nothing. It seems there are a lot of creepers trolling.
I've never met a homedweller I liked.
I’ve met a few that are welcoming and kind. Most travel it vacations on the road.
With laundry card, if have less than 5, then add money to card then get refund 👍
Your allowed to photograph anything your eyes can see.
😊
Huge hugs!
🫂🐾🚍❤️👩🦼👍🏻
I'm about to start (Mini) van life FT in the next 2 weeks-10 days. I "plan" on chasing good weather because I have to bring my roommates elderly cat. I grew up in Arizona. Summers are brutal. What was the temperature or right now in mesa (what a place-ah) lol
I'm in Québec where we still have snow and would trrade you your hot weather any time!!
