    Hello Emma, my name is Randy. I am a young 59 year old male that was forced to live in my suv, don't get me wrong it was something I always wanted to do and I planned for it. I have watched alot of Bob Wells and then I stumbled upon you. I am still saving money to actually start traveling I have had my rough days alone also. But I must admit that you still being new at traveling alone and so down to earth that you give me hope that I can do it. Stay strong and safe and best of luck to you.

    Hey Emma, I drove for decades. Fix-a- flat can actually work. Always kept one with me. Will fill up a flat so you can safely go 50 miles to get to a tire shop to patch it. Love your videos. 🤗💯👍🙏

    I'm so glad you are safe, Bonetire.
    I have been on many long-haul drives in my life (I have fully traversed the United States twice, from the Puget Sound to Mary-land and back again) and nothing is scarier than the long, lonely stretches of road with no civilization anywhere. I always think "I would really love to not get a flat or break down out here, thanks." It works. 😉

    Just found out from another one of my favs on UA-cam that y’all make more $ if we watch the commercials! You’re on my short list to do that! So easy for us sitting in our comforts of home to say “don’t stress”! Totally different when you’re in the moment in an area, no cell service and AAA won’t come even if you had service! You did it though!! I’m old enough to be your mom if not your great grandmother! I say that cuz when I take off for extensive travel after the first of the year, seriously thinking about shaving my head! Off grid, don’t know anyone, it’ll grow back…

      Or if you have UA-cam Premium, a portion of that goes to the creator. I personally cannot stand the ads!! My card was declined and I had ads again for a day and I was losing my mind!! I don't know how people watch YT with ads honestly, but I'm also a UA-camr and we do need to be paid for our hard work.

    I had a tire that lost air sometimes. I sprayed it with soap trying to find the leak but no bubbles. It would hold air for a week and then go flat in a couple hours. One day it rained a lot and I was parked in a big puddle at work and saw bubbles coming out from under my tire so I marked the location of the leak and pulled around to the back of our shop at work. We pulled the tire off and soaped it up and no bubbles. Finally I saw a tiny piece of metal and pulled it out. It was the schrader valve from the valve stem on a tire. It would only lose air when you parked directly on it.
    That looked like a great hike and thanks for bringing us along

    As many backroads as we’ve seen you drive so far I was kind of surprised that a simple leaking tire had you so miffed. Fix-a-flat crap is garbage that you don’t want sloshing around in your tire. If anything watch a tire plugging video on UA-cam and carry a plug kit. I know you’re capable of plugging a small leak anyway.

    Spent many years workin' on tires and cars in general and I've pulled some wild stuff out of tires. Bones, animal teeth, antlers, tools, jewelry, broken car parts etc. The scariest was a live rifle round with the primer still intact... I though it was a large rivet since it was deformed and all scratched up from being driven on. It wasn't until I pulled the tire off the rim that I realized what I'd been prying on pulling on for the last 20 minutes O.o. Needless to say I stopped immediately and told the customer I couldn't fix his tire (the hole was too large to be repairable). He was a little incredulous until I took him out to the shop and showed him what was in there. We were both very surprised and very thankful it hadn't gone off on either of us! lol
