    Ame! Check your van for a tracking device! It's very possible the metal was put into your tire by the man outside your van, he likely was hoping you'd not be able to leave or was going to follow you and approach you when you got out to check it. Be on alert until you clear your van of a tracker they can be very small. Look up info on it. Please consider getting some bear spray and staying in areas that have cell service only. I was so very scared for you but so glad youre okay if this happens again leave immediately. Always trust your instincts and your dog barking it's better to be safe and over cautious. Please ask your father to help you look your van over if possible. ❤

    For flat tires, I carry a 12v portable tire inflator that plugs into the cigarette lighter and is about the size of a book. Then I also carry a can of Flat Fix, a spray that lines the inside of the tire and seals the leak until you can get someplace to fix it. Finally, because I am paranoid (from experience) about being stuck in the middle of nowhere, I haul around 2 spare tires.
    Being in the United States, I really enjoy seeing your vanlife views of Europe.

    Ame, I glad you were lucky in both the tire and potential trouble maker situations. Luck is not a reliable strategy though. Please have a plan and carry whatever force multipliers the law allows. I know it’s not the US. Also, as far as your tire is concerned, there is a product called “fix a flat”. It comes in an aerosol can and it’s a temporary fix. Both might come in handy next time. Please take care out there.

    Hi Ame👋. For emergencies, you should get hold of a tin of tyre weld! It inflates your tyre and you can drive on it for a hundred miles. If your tyre can be patched up, then the tyre weld can be washed out. You can buy a tin for around €12 at Halfords or a major supermarket. Thanks for making me smile, stay safe with GiGi.❤

    In my experience almost every creepy, threatening or aggressive experience when in a campervan involves men. Why some should have such a need to bother and harass people, especially at night, is strange and dysfunctional. As a retired older man, I too get bothered or made to feel uncomfortable and find it difficult to determine their intentions. Keep safe. You did the right thing in moving on. Sometime things don’t feel right or are clearly worrying - Always best to be cautious and relocate

  • @had2galsinthebooth
    @had2galsinthebooth Рік тому +38

    It's probably been suggested already, but, you should get a small tire pump that plugs in to the cigarrette/power socket or even hooks to the battery with clamps. They are VERY handy when you are away from air stations and don't want to put the spare tire on. Of course when you check all your tires you should also check air pressure in the spare, you know, in case a metal object or anything destroys a tire you can put the spare on. 😁

    • @victorkreitner754
      @victorkreitner754 Рік тому +3

      Great advice. I always have a pressure guage in the glove compartment and check my pressure every so often. Spare tires can go flat without you realizing it until you need them. It's a small thing that prevents a bigger headache down the road. In the US we have AAA, not sure if they have it in Europe, but being a member of an auto club wouldn't hurt in case your stranded with a flat or any car trouble.

    • @shannonking6328

    I will recommend to have some preventive maintenance kit store in van if you a long distance traveler.
    - Foot pump, 1l of appropriate oil for top ups , small bottle of brake fluid and concentrated coolant , light bulb kit , flashlight with magnet, puncture repair spray, yellow waist and some thin work gloves . -
    All of that may save you from breking down and being stranded far away from nearest service station. Its good to train yourself about how to check oil level, tyre pressure and general layout under your van bonnet (and do it in regular intervals) . Just having right tyre pressure will give you better milage , longer tyre life ,not mentioning safety aspect.

      Yeah I think many of us have said the same. Lights to be fair don't do much when people can slash your tyres and box you in ...ame is taking way too many risks even streetwise city gals won't take
      Parking in remote forests. Driving around these remote random places outside of the city, way way too risky. Not worth it for money on views on here ..she needs to re think the stuff she's doing as it's well known facts single women are much higher at risk than man van lifers
      It's common sense ...I think she's rested on laurels abit and acts shocked when these things happen. I'd have thought this stuff is way more common and the odds are the other way around, that she's lucky nothing has happened
      Time to change how she does things with the channel I think. Too risky alot of the stuff she does

      ​​@@emmajones1183tbh it applies to men and women who are alone. If someone is armed and/or dangerous, anyone alone is in danger. I agree I feel a little uncomfortable with some of the risks Ame takes, bit I wouldn't go as far as to say everything she does, it's just the odd thing makes me uncomfortable for her, like yeah remote forest situations alone are too dodgy for me, I wouldn't do that as a man who's fairly handy and able to protect myself. The world now is not safe as it once was especially in the west with so many illegal immigrant criminals unchecked roaming around Europe and the UK enticed by adverts of young skimpy clad women who drink and are there for the taking (as is being posted by ILLEGALS on TikTok!) It's ridiculous how dangerous the West has become over last few 10-20years! But especially the last 8 years or so..

    I don't think a lot of guys understand until they have a steady relationship how insecure pretty women are when they are on their own. The stories my wife told me about creepy experiences with certain men gave me a new respect for that. I mean some of these encounters are pretty unnerving. I suggest vanlife women keep a CB radio for emergencies, they tend to bring truckers or RVers immediately. The cops will come later, sometimes much later. Oh, and a can of bear spray can work wonders.

    Ame, tire pressure is important, it affects ride comfort and gas mileage. The recommended pressures are usually listed on a panel in the drivers side door, or in the manual. Best to check and adjust monthly as pressures rise and fall with the ambient temperature. Get a tire gauge and check monthly. Rotate every 5K! Learn how to apply a a spare tire. Happy travels!

      Or read the spec off the side wall of the tyre and google the pressure needed.

    Dramatic series of events to say the least. I think everyone would’ve freaked out at a shadow whilst alone in a country where you don’t speak the language. Glad you’re safe and back in France. Poor Gigi and her harness too, it’s the steering lock all over again 😂 And the tyre didn’t look too bad, I mean it was only flat on one side 😂😏 Keep up the good work, always enjoy your vids. Have a great week and stay safe 😊

    My goodness, so sorry you had to deal with so many el creepos. Scary thing is they're all over the world, but you handled it fine. Maybe get yourself a baseball bat, pepper spray, or one of those air horns in a can that make a loud noise to scare off intruders. Loud enough it will make them run or ar least draw attention to the situation. So nice how Gigi barked to alert and protect you during that incident. She's a good watch dog. It's so sweet how Gigi lays on your arm and snuggles around your neck. One thing for sure, your van life is never dull, and it always keeps you on your toes. Life always gives fun chores, and we never can escape them completely. It's what keeps us going, and in survival mode. Take care of yourself, and thanks again for sharing your adventures with us viewers. Always the best wishes from the mountains of New Hampshire USA.

    I enjoyed this video so much Ame, never a dull moment! Sorry about the intruders, but it did add to your dramatic story 😂 When shopping you said you were a baby, true but not in the sense of small in stature, but rather as in sweet, charming, beautiful, funny, and dramatic 😊 Your narrative is so entertaining and makes my week. About the tire problem, if you look online you'll find different options for a cordless rechargeable small air pump, they look kinda like a cordless drill, just watch the ratings, and you could find one at a building supply store. Thanks again for a fantastic ride-along, wishing you a wonderful weekend, love you too ❤️ praying for your protection, xoxo💯💞🙏

    I still think that is such a perk to be able to drive wherever and have a comfortable place to stay in your own converted van. I am giving serious thought to converting my own.....but it really is a commitment and I just don't think I can split my focus at the moment from present goals I have......hmmm. We shall see, take care of yourself Ame.

    If Gigi is uncomfortable or stressed in a place......listen to her and go.somewhere safe.
    Try not to park in dark places, so eone suggested lights around your van, like 360 degress, so u can always be aware of your surroundings at a glimpse, without having to wait 5 minutes for a car to illuminate your surroundings.
    Be safe sweet señorita.

    Ame, be safe out there. I'd be worried that this dude was not alone, and was diverting your attention to the passenger side window so they can do something to the opposite side of your van. Possibly, they might try to magnet an AirTag to your bumper or some crap. Do a quick inspection when you get a chance.
