    I had a creep in a white pickup truck acting similar to me out in the backcountry. Scariest night of my life. But in general, I agree with what you said about the city vs the backcountry. Animals don't scare me, people do.

      Yeah, I would have taken down the license plate. You gotta teach them a lesson or they will do it again. Back in April, a band of 7-8 teenagers where screaming at elderly people on the sidewalk on Denman Street. I called the cops and Vancouver Police were on the scene in 2 minutes chrono.

    The truth of things nowadays is a single woman living anywhere isn't really "safe." Apartments, houses, RV's or Vanlife, tenting in quiet places or even living off-grid: even institutions of "safety," if you're a single female, there is bound to be someone who only wants to harass, frighten, or hurt you. You absolutely did the right thing, Emmie. Don't let assholes get you down.

      Momma was a cop. She taught me to always go to Police Station. Don’t need to go in. Just park. Once it was really bad so I went to the back doors where cruisers pull in & layed (laid🤔) on horn. Cops got him! He had rap sheet for rapes, assaults. I was 17 & looked like Pam Anderson. I’m so happy to be old, gray & invisible now. Anyhoo, always feel safer in back country. Far away from males (I know there’s awesome ones, too!) Stay safe! I have a feeling if an attacker came your way & had a bagel kitty would give you up in a heartbeat ❤

    Your decals advertise that you are a female in a van, possibly traveling alone. You may want to think about removing them. I was told by a police officer that there are things that predictors look for, to identify vehicles that belong to women (personalized plates, stickers and interior decorations, etc.). These things can make you a potential target. Just something to consider.

    I was harrassed by two guys on a 45 minute drive home from work one time. (Before cell phones) Finally reached a town and went straight to the police station. Those two turned around and hurried back out of town when they realized where I was going.

    You to please get an app on your phone that you scan to make sure somebody didn't put a tagging device on your van. The apps are free and you can scan it periodically to make sure that no one has targeted your van. I would have called the police immediately because if he is going to harass you he is going to try to harass another woman and we have to get these people identified

    Put outside cameras on all four sides of your van, also get those motion lights on all four sides. I would not go to the back country yet. Park around town for a few more nights ansd see if it happens again. Take your stickers off your van. I hope you have some protection in your van. Get a very bright, blinding flashlight and shine it back into the drivers eyes if it happens again. If this person is trying to get away from the bright light you might be able to get their license plate and a photo of the truck. Emi you are so used to nothing happening. Does not mean this will happen again, but please be extra cautious for a while. Might just have been a weirdo, might be someone drunk. Give it a day or two to see if someone is stalking you. Please be very careful. If need be contact the police. Especially in the day. Could be watching you and you miss it. Hopefully its just a one time thing. I have been stalked before. Be very, very careful for awhile. God Bless.

They chased me all the way to Duncan. Those back roads are pitch black at night. Never went back to Cowichen Bay again. While I was in Duncan some people surrounded my van and keyed it from one end to the other and stabbed my tire with a knife. I was inside and frozen in fear. Be vigilant always.

I bet if they realized no one was home, they would have broke in. Glad you left. Getting harassed like that, I am so sorry.

    The pickup truck driver was definitely being a threatening a-hole. I attended a training once where the instructor gave really controversial advice- “NEVER go with an attacker”. Resist where the attacker is most uncomfortable. The attacker wants to take you somewhere that he feels safe and secure to do whatever he wants. I wouldn’t have known whether to stay or go. I’m glad you did. As bad as it was, the driver was afraid to do more in such a public place. It’s also hard to guess whether you were his target or if he was trying to scare you away.

    The best thing to do with that situation is to remove yourself from the situation, although it’s also best to imply that more than one person in your vehicle this can be done by using remote switches to turn lights on a different areas of the van. Once you’re removed from the situation, then I would call RCMP or local LEO’s and report it. Luckily you do have cameras.

    This is why you have your vehicle! Leave you don't watch for that long but luckily nothing happened and he was probably looking to break in or steal it. Something could've happened while you were thinking what to do and always go with your gut! Remember once you have a UA-cam channel you put yourself out there for craziness! It sucks but it's the way things are!

    My dad put socks on the drop down arms of his van bucket seats. Then all that needed to be done was to change the socks! It kept the grime off and made cleaning easy.

    I've had similar jerks follow and even chase me. I've took a special high speed driving class and let's just say...it didn't end well for them. The last one that chase me lost control of his truck and rolled over off to the side of the road. I just called the police to go check on them for safety check. I'm not sure a high top van could make those kinds of turns safely. It's a good idea to take special driving classes and well worth the money.

    I hope you have some type of defense and if you don't please consider some option. Also when in trouble drive to the nearest police station or to the nearest gas station! Gas stations has plenty of cameras and plenty of lights and traffic.! Also note down the license plate ..next time that plate comes around ..notify the police! Be safe!!!

    I know there’s a lot of van lifers that stay in urban areas; but with all of the vagrancy, homelessness, crime and drug use, in various urban areas around North America. I really do prefer to be Boondocking offgrid for me I feel a lot safer when I am out off grid because if somebody’s coming towards me, I can hear them coming for miles and I usually have an exit strategy.
