  • After escaping the deep snow pack of the Eastern Sierra last week, I headed south and ended up spending 24 hours alone, truck camping in the desert.

    Fantastic photography Alex, makes me feel like I’m on the trip with you. You have put it on my bucket list. Greetings from Western Australia 🇦🇺

    I came across your channel and decided to watch. I'm making big changes in my life. I'm moving from my house where I grew up. I want to buy a camper van and go on the road. I'm much older than you, so I hope I'll be able to do this. I love the music you used and how you put your video together. At any rate, I'm gonna keep watching. I scribed and liked. You're inspiring me. You are adventurous...I like that! Thank you, Dearheart

    Learning to de-program myself from "constant dissatisfaction" with everything I have needing to be changed, "dialed in", modified, fixed up, "updated", latest tech, improved etc etc etc has freed up an generous amount of time, energy, and money to become a human being vs a human doing...

    Wow what a beautiful trip!!! I live in Florida and I have never been in a desert before! My wife and I are to old to go hiking like you!!! But it would be wounderful to just drive around out there in the middle of nowhere for a day!!!! It's on my bucket list!!!

    I like your style of videography and conversion. A nice relaxing channel to watch. I have a pop to camper, it is nice to get to more remote spots but it really is a huge pita. You have a nice setup, i'd stick with that. It is really nice to just go into the back of a camper at will. Don't ignore signs of heat stress, especially if you are used to hiking in the heat, because you will press yourself harder than people who aren't used to it. Once it hits you hard it will be extremely hard to get back to camp.

    • @SheRoamsWild

      Thank you so so much! It has been really fun and we are loving the truck camper so far. Glad we went with the fixed height for now, but every rig has its perks!

    I stumbled across your YT channel a few days ago and have been slowly catching up. In your 21 May video, you asked if anyone knew what kind of animal made the tracks in the sand. I didn't see any answers in the comments so I thought I would help, even though you probably know by now. They appear to be the tracks of the Desert Fring-Toed Lizard. We have one who has taken up residence on our patio here in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona. Enjoying your journey. Stay safe,

    The dunes are really stunning! They reminded me of the dunes in the Outer Banks, NC, but Mohave Dunes are much steeper, perhaps? I noticed the little, purple flowers growing up through those rocks and thought how lovely they are in such a desolate appearing place. It's all so very beautiful and it was fun to come along with you. Thanks for the adventure, Alex! 🙃

I do have a bottle for her, but she really doesnt love it, sadly. I always bring it on longer walks though, or cut our trips short to stay on top of her hydration when not.

    Might want to look into some survival/truck saving training. Tell whomever you find that your a you tube creator. Something else, Get Tara a 20 foot lead you can attach to your truck, Dogs are more rugged then you think, and I understand you wanting to baby her but give the lead a try, she'll find shade even if it's under your truck. Trust your dog, they have senses you don't.

    • @SheRoamsWild

    Your worried about blocking a road? How many vehicles have you past or crossed out there on the path? I am thinking 0. So I would be worried about that if I got stuck…You are on your own, I would get recovery gear and a wench before I would go down roads like that. Be careful, things can turn bad quickly if your not prepared!

  • @maryveenis5199
    @maryveenis5199 Рік тому +1

    If something happens to restrict you from getting back to the camper for any unforeseen reason there needs to be a plan because the dog can die in the heat in the camper. Really not a good idea to leave her alone and go off alone.
