Thanks everyone for your kind words, I really appreciate your love and support ❤️ Please know that I never post my live location when I’m still there, and I take various other safety precautions. However this doesn’t stop some people from crossing very serious lines… anyhow, I appreciate you all being here (virtually, lol!), and I hope to find some way to navigate this situation.
Everyone love & interested in you,but remember there are also psycho men obsessed with strong women like you,& they are Dangerous & evil not just. I'm mind. So Please try to avoid & be SAFE for your sanity ❤Praying for you &vilk always,you've been my inspiration why I love vlogging.❤❤❤
I had a stalker for a couple of years. I won't go into the details. I would agree to meet him to have a Civilized fight with boxing gloves at a mutual friends house. NO he wanted a street fight. Finally a couple of years later we bumped into each other at a local watering hole. A Bully I went to high school was in the bar too. I told him to come outside and watch my back to be sure the fight was fair, but he was too drunk to understand me. I normally wear loose pants and tennis shoes when I go out to Bars. I squared off with the dude and boxed the crap out of him. I broke his big nose. I threw a karate kick that did not hurt him so much , but he fell backwards and hit his head against a car wheel. There was a group of bikers watching and I knew they would have my back too if this dude pulled out a knife or something. The bikers said the little dude is kicking the crap out of the bigger dude. After I humiliated him, I was always afraid he might come after with me with a gun, but he never did. I came out of a store one day as he pulled into the parking lot. He looked the other way and pretended like he didn't see me. We were actually dating sisters at one time. I warned my GF's Sister that he was Creepy and she should not let that dude be around her daughter. She figured that out after 3 months or so. Also I had a contract to do some Trucking for a Local Phamaceutical mfg and this dude with try and run my large truck off the road with a Dodge Dokota Pickup Truck .
@evazubeck I believe the mistake you have made is posting the video about the Shepherd tradition in the Carpathian Mountains . Sometimes the costumes and the songs give the region and area away but I believe the name of the village might have been exposed. Then it is just a matter of asking the locals about you.. Stay safe Eva and I hope you will eventually find your peace !
the fact that you had to go down to your car in the middle of the fucking night is heartbreaking !!! The risk of wolves seems so less scary when compared to an unknown man. Me as someone who is so afraid of the dark would have done the same. More strength to you.
I'm a police detective and I just want to validate your feelings and tell you to continue trusting your instincts. The legal system can only offer limited help, especially to a person that lives where you do. Mentally unstable men have been doing this to women since the beginning of time. Never try to reason or negotiate with men like this. Retreat until you can fight back then fight hard. Commit to doing whatever it takes to survive. It shouldn't be this way and all of us hate it but unfortunately is happens to way too many women. Be strong, be safe, keep fighting for YOUR life.
We Europeans need a 2nd amendment, less gun control, self defence reinstated. After WW2 in Europe we got by salami tactics stripped of self defence, by politicians doing not one step in public without being surrounded by a dozen armed security guards. Politicians who installed laws releasing them from any responsibility of their evil deeds. Good Trump won and I deeply hope MAGA movement swaps over the Atlantic to Europe. 200 yrs ago, men were obligated to wear a weapon and that was good like so. It should be reinstated and of course extended to woman. Bureaucrats don’t help and the police does not show up before I was murdered, so if it comes to my personal protection, police is totally useless also. Got it? I wished we were in Texas.
As a retired policeman a totally agree with @murf6997 , but safety first. There are things you can do but you already had a lot of advice, but stay alert and be carefull.
I don't know if others have said this, but I just wanted to say that leaving that space for now is not giving up or giving in. You are using the tools that you have to protect yourself, and being in a different location where you can feel safe and regroup is the strongest thing to do. You got this ❤
Don't stay there anymore until you can be safe. So sorry, but safety comes first and life is precious. And not everybody has good intentions. It's not giving up, it's about being smart and safe.❤
@@charlesking617 trespassing, stalking, uninvited. Take your video footage to your county sheriff. Report the incident at the very least Eva. Have it documented with local law enforcement.
Yea I mean her lands not going to eat anything she could leave it be for a couple years. Let all this settle down and come back to in the future if she wants and maybe develop the property with better safety measures. Who knows she might meet someone and want to settle down there some day. She is still young
The dark side of being a celebrity, even a modest-sized celebrity, is that you attract unstable people. A substantial percentage of the general population is mentally ill, delusionally irrational, violent, etc. That percentage might be 1%, 2%, or even higher. So if you have 1.8 million UA-cam subscribers, then at least 18,000 have psychological and behavioral problems. Most will not focus on you personally, but let's say that 1% of the 18,000 unstable ones do. That means 180 delusional people are focused on you personally. This is why celebrities have bodyguards, live in walled compounds, carry guns, and only interact with the public in very controlled environments. I hope you stay safe and move forward with your life. It is good that Vilk is with you, as he would fight to protect you.
Send Vilk to get personal bodyguard protection training. Just as you would not send an untrained person into combat, you cannot expect your untrained, but loving dog to go into combat for you. Get him the training that he needs to successfully protect both you and himself.
exactly right these people think they just profit from fans and don't need to reinvest in security... they grow up in a safe bubble and think the world is unicorns, rainbows and easy cash. any public figure knows that dealing with fans or haters is part of the biz. regardless of gender.
Look out for your safety first. While it's nice to know what we can look forward to, it may be better to not announce future plans and where you will be traveling. Wait and post after you have gone on to a different location.
OMG I'm so heartbroken for you! Are you safe right now? My anxiety is sky high for you! Please be safe and don't stay. It isn't worth it. Guarantee your safety!!!
@@BlackBearForge Yes that makes sense of course. Best not to show her vehicle with license plate in clear view. Surely there's an easy way to blur out a plate number in editing.
@@douellette7960 not sure there’s an easy and 100% effective way. It takes time and effort to do it manually but that’s the only way to be sure it’s done right. It only takes one frame to give the game away. However in some cases the effort will be worth it and this seems to be one of those cases. A terrifying scenario to be sure. 😕
Stay safe. This 71-year-old grandmother loves watching your travels and is so very proud of your courage. You give other young women and men permission to be brave and follow their dreams by following yours. I'm proud of you, Eva.
I am a 72 young mother and grandmother and i do not understand why someone ( men and women alike!) wants to live in the middle of nowhere with the possibility of meeting bears, wolves and dangerous human males.
I am so , very sorry this happened to You, I too had a similar, much more scarier experience. I lived alone in My Wilderness Cabin in No Where Yukon, when I came home from My Midnight shift at the hospital, I found a Man already waiting there for Me. Since we leave our doors unlocked, in the North, in case there are emergencies for folks who made need shelter, I found a Man inside My wee 10'x10' cabin... he was a construction worker at the hospital, he never did tell Me how he found out where I lived, alone... I leave a loaded .22 by the door and I had my hunting knife... My 2 dogs tried to warn Me prior, by greeting Me in My laneway, I just thought they were extra happy to see Me! My female then 'glued' herself to my side and gave low growls, I thought there was maybe an animal nearby, there were no tire tracks and no vehicle close to My property. He had already started a fire in my sauna, and was clearly drunk at 0830hrs. My hairs went up, I asked him to leave, told him my dog was trained to an attack word, he left, or so I thought, he then came back fully naked, trying to force me into the sauna.. I yelled and screamed, in case my closest neighbour was home, he wasn't... I grabbed my rifle and aimed it steadily on his face, fired the first shot, into the ground; to let him know I was serious, that was then he took me seriously and left.... will never forget that feeling and YES; THIS IS WHY WOMEN CHOOSE THE BEAR
Showing up uninvited, unknown is not illegal, you need to make it illegal, post signage, be armed and capable. I've been concerned this would happen as many men are watching this show and yearn for someone the opposite of the Kardashians. Doing anything alone in the wilderness is dangerous these days man and especially women. Society has not taught manners, decorum, or courtship for decades.
@@kerryscott3287 I was armed and more than capable, You think a No trespassing sign is going to stop a DBag? This was many decades ago, there was no internet, and my property was very isolated and not visible from any road, he had to walk in... he laid in wait, while making himself comfortable in My own home, while I was not there........
bless your heart. we always need to have guns and dogs if we live in the wilderness like that. Appalachia isn't quite as remote as the Yukon, but man it's close, LOL. so scary. nobody deserves to have their privacy and safety and sanctity of their home violated like that. ugh
1. Check your vehicle top to bottom for any tracking devices. 2. Change your license plate immediately! And start covering it up in your videos. 3. Don't announce your plans of where you're going. 4. As bad as it sounds, you should consider buddying up with someone instead of going solo. This day in age there's more creeps than ever in history, and these days, they have more capabilities. 5. If you go back to your land, put up a perimeter fence around your structure & add motion sensor spotlights (preferably with cameras in each direction) to aid in deterring or slowing down whatever threatens your well being, which at the very least can give you time to prepare to react/defend. Because sadly, this is the reality of a solo camper/traveler. 6. Not sure about the laws of owning a firearm there, but you should seriously consider it along with any training to get you comfortable using said protection if you don't already. And lastly, you made the right choice to leave. Especially with your dog on alert, there was definitely a potential threat lurking about.
As someone who has lived extensively in both the US and an EU country, I vehemently disagree with the gun suggestion. EU countries have very different laws than the US concerning gun ownership and hurting/killing even intruders with a gun; it may be more risk than reward. However, I think a proper perimeter fence with cameras and motion sensor lights should have been installed before Eva spent the first night in the tent. As she said, wolves are a big problem in her area, so just for them, the extra security of a fence and lights would have been prudent. Now, even more so.
No point in changing the license plate. License plates don't give any information except for the city where it was registered (in Poland). Only the police and certain governmental agencies can pull the information off of a license plate.
@@craigme4683 A man turned up, yes. Think about it... he figured out, where Eva lives; travelled a lot, and went there, to her property. For what exactly? Is that normal for you? Strangers coming to your home uninvited?
I've worked private security for a long time and that sort of behavior is a massive red flag and that's a total understatement. To go through that sort of effort indicates extremely dangerous behavior. Please seek some sort of outside help. No idea what your budget is, or how the polish police will handle these things. A restraining order will do nothing to a determined offender and may actually make it worse.
Yeah. While not the same situation, I have reported being stalked and death threats made by a group of men and women. They threw some threats around in real life, whenever and if they ever saw me, but they mainly did it online. (I was jumped by two girls from the group and managed to fend them off, sending one to a hospital, which is what triggered this situation) Polish police came back to me saying they can't do anything because there was no way of determining if they were the ones writing these comments online. In the end I was lucky because nothing happened. At the time my heart sunk and I felt so alone. I had no additional help from school or law enforcement. My father bought me pepper spray and to this day I feel it was the most precious gift I ever got. Even getting a restraining order is tough and I am not sure if I could trust anyone to care, believe or treat stalking seriously. Not to mention that it's just a piece of paper that doesn't stop anybody from actually doing 'the thing'. Sigh
Is this a 'reenactment' of what happened?? It's gotta be, right?? because....well, there's some things. Also, you are so FORTUNATE AND BRAVE that you were able to make/edit a video to recreate all that beautiful but creepy music with that wonderful lighting and then the shots of a beautiful morning when you discovered you survived the ordeal. To have to walk so far into the woods in the darkness, save for the light of your camera to guide you, must have been so traumatic. The guy could have grabbed you at any moment. And the dog, so well behaved except for when he kept disobeying you to jump into the back seat at the end of the video. So cute!!! I admire your strength. When I was sexually assaulted by my stalker I didn't have the strength to make such a creative video and talk about my horrible experience in such an inspiring way that you have. I wish I too had been filming that bright daylight afternoon...cause that would have saved me all the trouble of looking at police line-ups. 😐
So as a woman who spent a lifetime camping solo in backcountry, hunting and hiking and exploring, people are really the only predators I had to worry about. I do carry a gun now when I am out because of experiences I had that were very terrifying and close calls. I also use motion activated solar lights around my tent as early warning systems as well as some other more secretive alert systems. The best thing is to use deterrents as much as possible but give yourself as much early warning also so you can be alert and properly responsive when needed. I am not the kind of woman to let people prevent me from doing the things I love and I don’t think you are either. I am familiar and proficient with firearms and have had personal defense training as well. A good guard dog helps. Mine was a Doberman who has since passed and she was often deterrent enough. There are always going to be men who think they know you or want to possess you. Who knows what stories they cook up in their heads or delusions they harbor. Just know you can find ways to continue on the path you have chosen. Don’t let the b-ds get you down!
Yes, in Eva's situation I agree, especially if she wants to reclaim her land and tent living. I'm not a gun advocate and don't have one but her situation and celebrity changes everything.
That was the first thought that came to my mind too, every time the license plate was shown publicly... Any creep finding or stumbling across the car, who recognises it as Eva's, could stick an AirTag to it to track its location.
Hi Eva, I've been stalked, I used to ride the bus while living in Austin TX, this guy decided once to follow me around the mall, then onto the bus, thankfully the bus driver caught on to what he was doing and kicked him off the bus... but that was just the beginning.. for a year and a half this guy kept finding me on buses and trying to follow me home. All the time I was stern and asked him to leave me alone, but I was "civilized" when I spoke to him. One night I was going home with 3 full bags of groceries and lo and behold he appears out of nowhere at the bus stop, and waits to see what bus I'm taking and gets on. I was able to trick him and got off the bus without him noticing because the bus was full... either way I started running. He realized what I had done and he stopped the bus, got off and started running after me. I crossed a highway and ran as fast as I could, I made it to an apartment building and turned around and yelled at him from the top of my lungs. He was shocked... and I saw fear in his face and he tried to calm me down but when I saw the fear I yelled louder. The apartment building had an enclosed stairwell and I had proped the door open, the echo in the stairwell amplified my voice and everyone could hear me. He kept saying he was following me because he wanted to "apologize" I yelled to him that I didn't care and yelled louder "stop harrasing me, stop following me" I turned around and slammed the door and ran up the stairwell. He didn't follow. I never saw him again. What I learned? Bring the f***ing BEAST out of you onto these people. Don't act civilized towards them, be derranged to the nth power!!!. And yes, also do all the other things people have advised, all of that is great, but bring your beast out. I love your spirit, stay strong, stay safe! ❤
For a year and a half then you realized you need to be angry and yell to scare him off. Ouch! I guess, better late than never, but I also don't know if you are just very patient person or just stupid. Year and a half.
@@kyleydiamond That is a wrong way of thinking what if and is it my fault if I do this or that, will I make this man angry. No! Year and a half is a long time and you have that much patience or whatever that is to just deal with it day in and day out without doing anything? Not even talking to someone, professional, just doing something. Start with restraining order like Eva and go from there, but just to live with it and experience fear for so long, absolutely not. One should also get something for protection and show it, so they know they cannot f... around.
this makes me SOOOOOO ANGRY for you. i also suffered from a stalker when i was living in the city during college and i know what it's like to live in constant fear and viligance - afraid to walk home in case they were watching me. i would walk in crazy circles through the city to go to class in case they were following me and i didn't want to lead them back to my apartment. it made me physically unwell. i wouldn't allow myself to go to the same grocery store nearby more than once a month - i had to have a whole plan anytime i went outside and i was crumbling with the pressure of it all. it really does destroy your freedom. i had to go out of my way to do ANYTHING. this makes me SOOOO angry that you are having to go through this on your beautiful private land. you deserve a safe place to rest in between all your travels. you did the right thing in leaving. you're not giving up. you are taking care of yourself! and keep talking about it!!!!! men need to hear stories like this to LEARN. i'm also so sad to hear about the other stalker following you to africa. sharing your story is so BRAVE and you did not retreat! it's for those men who are stalking you to feel shame for their actions - not you!
Omg she is not alone at all. Look at the camera when she arrives at the car. Everything staged Clickbait. When you are really in fear you don’t Illuminate and film from different angles 😂
@@MYT-Ixe bruh she would be the biggest actress the world as ever witnessed if this was staged. you may not be very good at reading ppl and understanding whats real and fake. you will get better with age dont worry
To both of the creepers who went above and beyond in their stupidity. If you are reading this please seek professional psychological help. Creating fear in someone's life is not ok..Its never ok. 🤬
Why do assume they are mentally unstable? plus, if there's no fence there's nothing stoping you from crossing someone's land. You can't even know you are on one unless there's clear sign stating that. What if I were hiking and just met her right there, at the same spot? Should I seek psychiatrist as well?
Until you get a home built, with locks, and security, you can't stay in the tent. This is a strange world with bad people in it. The problem is that when you are a known personality on the internet, people can find you. Everyone has access to satellites that can go by just one name or word and find you. I have to find people in my work, and anyone can be found. No matter even if you are way up in the woods. So the deal is to protect yourself - at all times. You have a beautiful property, don't give up on that. Build a cabin that you can lock up. Build a road to the cabin so you have a fast safe route. But don't give up on the property. Be as safe as you can be.
Be careful when you post things that show road signs, location signs ( like in todays video when you parked your car, there was a sign). There are so many people and devices out there that can figure out where you are based on those little things. Posting once you leave is great, but even if you drive 50 miles away from your land and then post something with a road sign, etc, you are narrowing the field for someone to find you. Be safe!
I thought the same thing when she drove to her safer place for the night, you could see a distinctive sign in the background. Now this safe space is not safe to use again. 😕
it is fairly easy to find out locations even without a sign. In Eva's case i guess a 5min search, maximum, its fairly easy to find (wont say how here, of course). When wild camping one should keep its location secret, Eva is doing the opposite here, just saying objectively. Such events are to be foreseen; there always are a few weird people when talking to a bigger audience, and thats unfortunately enough for trouble. Especially in Poland, almost all people are very fine and awesome, but there are a few weirdo+drunks out there.
@@mountainmoments every country has its weirdoes, but what i see a a kinda naive woman, not very aware of some realities, she needs to prepare herself better and yes sadly sharing your things with the world can have its consequences too.
I am the daughter of a mom who told me she survived an attack by a serial killer when she was younger. She was very cautious around me growing up and I have a few inherited extra senses about safety and I really hope you take this seriously. When the shock of what happens wears off, don't fall into the trap of humanizing a stalker as someone who will see common sense with a restraining order or feel bad and eventually stop. They're insane / unhinged / dangerous. Be grateful you can be angry because you're alive. You need to take extreme precautions, yes, you are strong & independent, but you are also an attractive single female who settled in an isolated location. Even just saying it was the Carpathians in Poland was too much information. I'd go as far to say you should have lied even about the country you settled in to help secure your privacy. Also I wouldn't film skylines or mountain ridge lines around your property. I feel the only way you can maximize security is by filming months in advance, and straight up lie about where you are if you do ever show a static property. I personally am terrified that you'll want to tough it out and stay. I would leave and not come back to that place, no matter the frustration of leaving. Your safety is no. 1 priority. Finally, I am so sorry you experienced this, remember never ignore your gut instinct.
I am so sorry that this is happening to you! This very situation happens to women all around the world. Myself included and it is terrifying. Be safe ladies ❤
@@wonder12374well believe is irrelevant in this matter as a real life is in danger. What your believe should factor in is when you film and put a creep unmasked on the internet, he could face repercussions in his own life which in turn could anger him and endanger you even more. He knows where you live after all. When Eva turns up dead on her land, what good is your believe then? Does it then turn to, ups was not the smartest decision in retrospect?!?! It is my believe that it would.
" _ If he is stalking you or if he was just a harmless visitor_ " So which is it? If he's a harmless visitor, then he's being accused of being a stalker for all the world to see. Not good, and with possible legal ramifications. As for private property, was there any way this person, if a harmless visitor, could know this? How does private property work in Poland with regard to fencing/posting, and the laws (if any) of trespass?
@istvanglock7445 he said I've found you I've been looking for you....she doesn't know him How harmless does that sound to you? There is not an expectation of privacy in the woods.
I am a nature lover who stopped going anywhere near the woods after getting followed by a particularly scary man. I thought I was completely alone but was being stalked. I have not went out much since. I feel for you Eva, it's not nice when evil people take away the one thing that they love from you. So sorry this had happened to you.
It might be worth asking someone to search the dark web for your name. The fact that 2 different creeps showed up probably means there are chat rooms where they discuss your whereabouts.
My daughter now 28 was attacked by 4 guys, in their early 20's, that tracked her down when she was 19 and thank god my son, 17 at the time was there. She got scrapes, a torn shirt, but nothing else. When my son attacked, he was hoping someone else or a few would help him, no one did. He ended up breaking a few bones in each of them, gouging out eyes and anything just to survive attacking 4 bigger, stronger men. They had hospital stays, and he was treated and released. After she got divorced later, she moved in with both my sons on a farm in Bavaria that I bought for them along with a trained guard dog for her. That still bothers her today and she will be taking the first bar exam to be a lawyer in Germany very soon.
Woo, your son is awesome. I survived an attempted murder in a truck stop bathroom and all I had was a tooth brush. Those moments deciding whether I was going to stab her in the eye or above the eye are still surreal to me. I choose above the eye and that was my last chance, she almost strangled me. Next time I'll be making a different decision.
We need more men like you and your sons in this World. You have my respect for raising a fine young man, also for helping your daughter feel safe. Much respect to you!
I understand where she is coming from. In 1975 on my 21st birthday I was jumped by 4 guys. Fortunately I was with a very good friend and he helped out. And thankfully the biggest guy, the leader, came to close and God said to me YOU BETTER FIGHT! Well, the big guy gave me an opportunity for 6 to 10 Good shots to his head. BUT - I never went back there. Everywhere I went for a long time I was very aware, maybe a little scared.. and I was a tough guy. Even today, now that things are so much worse out there, I realize that at 70 yr old, I cannot protect my family as I once could. It's a little concerning for me.
@@lulumoon6942 He went into it not expecting to make it out, just to by time. That is a hard decision to make and he did it, but adrenaline and training kicked in. The nasty, underhanded, vicious and mean training. Stuff you do not practice, just talk about the unwinnable situation.
Eva, I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I’m a retired Police Officer and old enough to be your grandfather. I have experienced several instances of young men becoming fixated on women not known to them. It seldom ends well. Your safety is paramount and you did exactly the right thing in getting out of there. Please reconsider EVER going back. If one person can find you, then so can others. I’m not trying to scare you, but it’s the simple truth. Stay safe.
@@EyefyourGfthat’s obviously not what he said? yes there are delusional women out there, but they 80% of the time will not physically hurt you. men, on then other hand, will kill you without a second thought because you don’t feed into their delusions.
@@EyefyourGf that may be true but your comment does nothing to address the situation. In Eva’s situation, it is a man chasing her, and we are all too familiar with how many of these cases end.
Sorry this is happening. I feel your fear. This is what so many women go through. We have to reconstruct our lives just to be safe. Change our routes, leave early or leave later, go to different laundries, change grocery stores, at the extreme we change jobs or get displaced from our homes. Something most men will never even be aware of having to live like this. Stay safe and be hyper aware Those men are extreme in their actions. Be very careful. I love your channel and would absolutely hate that anyone should destroy your freedom and security. This is so upsetting to see it happening to you. Please protect yourself.
Eva, something you need to understand about stalkers. They actually get off on your distress and tears. It makes their day to know they have succeeded rattling your cage. It is like their fuel. Don't give that to them. It just makes want to come back for more. Also, restraining orders won't protect your life. They are just a piece of paper to the unhinged.
I'm a man and was stalked on by someone in a bathroom one time, the total sickening and fear I had in my stomach was the first time I've EVER felt that as a man. Then it dawned on me, oh wow, this is what women experience almost regularly. It happened to me only once in my life, but I imagine it is way way more common for women to experience this more than once.
Scary thing is we are most likely to be killed by our partners. Yes, there are bad men out there, but the one next to us can turn as well. And if youre a woman and know the statistics, those numbers never leave your mind. Because the others didn't expect it either.
Hi Eva! You need another property to live on, keep it secret, never film on it, a property where you have direct car access and camp in your car ready to go. Never show your emotions especially fear because this may trigger psychos, they enjoy it. Nobody should know where you are or where you will go. Post weeks later after you left a location. We understand. ❤ Thank you for sharing. A big lesson for all women who are hiking and camping, thank you!
Dear men, When I was in Madeira I wanted to hike around the island in one week. Staring the hike from a small village I had to go through the town first to get to the beginning of the trail. Walking past a cafe I remembered a man turning his head as I walked past, we never made eye contact. 15 minutes later, struggling to walk uphill with my backpack I heard a car pull up and slow down to drive beside me. It was the same man. He invited me for a coffee - I politely declined. He continued driving beside me, following me, offering a ride, food and accommodation for 20 minutes while I went on explaining that I’m here to hike and camp and I’m not looking for company. The only reason he stopped was the road turning into a thin mountain trail. Yet the ghost of him stayed with me for a week. For 7 days I’d ask myself, why had I told that man that I’m camping here alone? I’d turn my head, fully expecting him to follow me. Every branch cracking was a sign of him approaching me. I was pissed. Because my peaceful walk suddenly turned into a hunting scenario where I was pray. For a week, wherever I’d camp, walk or rest I’d look around frantically. Because of one man. Dear men, please leave us alone. Whether you mean well or want to try your chances in romance, there’s about 0,000001% chance you’ll succeed and a 100% chance you’re gonna scare the girl you approached. For days. Let us be, we’ll be fine without you.
The genie is out of the bottle now, and hindsight is 20/20. But in this video alone, your car's license plate is showing and isn't blurred out. There are geotracking groups that can see just a snippet of forest or a ridgeline of a mountain range, and can pinpoint that exact location, anywhere in the world. The beautiful view from your property you've been sharing on your channel is enough for people to pinpoint your exact location. The world shouldn't be this way, but it is. You have almost two million subscribers, and that doesn't count viewers who aren't subscribed. I hate to tell you this, but you have to stop sharing so much of your life. It sucks, and it's NOT YOUR FAULT, but that is reality.
A European license plate says literally zero. It's not the US where all your data is public for anyone to look up. The European Union has very strict privacy laws.
@@lidewijvos That's good to know; I wish it was that way in the U.S. But still, if a stalker or someone is in her area and looking for her specific car, they know her license plate number.
Well said. Many single woman have been victimized by this kind of male delusional thinking. Women need to be aware of the dangers of fame and especially the loss of their privacy.
@@lidewijvos In Poland, when you buy a car from another city or even from the one you live in, you can even keep the old registration. Only from police records or at the office you can find information about who owns the car. It’s not that simple.
@@ksmith9715 I agree. Thanks to the internet, we are living in dangerous times. But I feel these content creators are not going to stop sharing their lives. So, they have to weigh the pros and con of the their decision. Now I hope that she starts to change a few things about her channel. I don't know what she can do, accept posting less, sharing less. Stay safe. 💯
I appreciate the exciting potential of your new property and the vision you have for it. However, I believe it would be prudent to reconsider the idea of staying alone in a tent in such a remote mountain area. Before making it your permanent residence, I think it would be smart to focus on building a proper house and establishing a reliable road that connects you to civilization. And of course, implementing various security measures that would enhance your safety. As someone with combat training, a firearm, and experience as a former soldier, even I would hesitate to camp alone in an isolated location given the realities we face in today’s world. Your safety, as well as Vilk's, is paramount. Please prioritize your well-being and hold off on camping there until you've developed a more secure environment with all necessary precautions in place. Stay safe Eva!
I camp alone, at 79 and in my younger years I hiked alone, 7--10 miles at a time. But Idaho mountain country is a lot different than most places. I live alone, but neighbors are close, 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile away and my nearest grocery store is 8 miles away and my nearest Costco is 2 driving hours away on a two-lane road. All places can be dangerous, but I think Idaho mountains are some of the safest. Maybe Eva can move to the States where she wanted to live but real estate is too high, now.
My mom left her country in her early 20s in 1959 .. for Greenland .. she had a rifle to keep men away from her tiny house .. she's 91 now and have moved back to Denmark 30 years ago .. I have a daughter now in her early 20s and she's already been in South Korea alone when she was barely 17 .. strong as her grandma' - My daughter has the same straits as my mom who went through so much in the Arctic and taking care of me and my 2 younger siblings .. You're strong and intelligent enough to follow your intuition .. trust it and you will be ok - This World are full of psycho's.
Eva, you may or may not know the meaning behind the word "retreat." When the word "retreat" was called out on the battlefield, I thought it meant to run, flee, and give up. But it actually meant for those on the battlefield to get to a safe place, patch up the wounded, regroup, and rethink their strategy. This is the smartest thing to do when faced with an overwhelming situation. It shows strength, which is what you are doing right now. You are a strong woman, Eva, and it shows in many of your videos. Even in showing your vulnerability, that is strength. Being an empath, watching this brought tears to my eyes. Being on the other side of the world and wanting to help in some way was challenging, so I prayed to my higher power for you. Now, it's time to let go. You are a smart woman with a network of people to reach out to when you need to. And I'm sure retreating will bring you and Vilk an exciting new adventure. Much love from Australia. ❤
This is so so soooo sad. And even worse, it’s a sad reality. I’ve had people track me down in other countries also. (With zero malicious intent) but still. It’s not a comforting feeling. As a solo traveler also, the struggle of creating and not sharing too much about your whereabouts is such a fine line. You made the right choice to leave. Thank you for making this video and bringing awareness to how absolutely unacceptable their behavior is. ❤
FWIW an associate was doing a round the world motorcycle adventure trip and blogging it , although he was ntot grifting for cash, just a blog. He found the bulk of the people he passed by to be kind & helpful . Even more so after some one worked out where he was , beat him up & stole his bike & all of his belongings . So not they get posted 6 months after he has done each leg . The person most responsible for your safety is you .
Itchy Boots had the same problem. She works months ahead now and no one knows where she is at any moment. Any presence on the internet, let alone on UA-cam, makes one vulnerable. There are choices to be made unfortunately. Good luck
Noraly is really way more thoughtful and well planned and has a very methodic way. I don't know when she started it, but she definetly starts posting way after she has been through somewhere. And even at her beginning, she was not in the same area for more than a few days if she was not absolutely pinned there for some reason She also has pre-arranged contacts in case something goes awry, GPS locators, SOS beacons with her etc.
@@frankrault3190 She even went so far to find a German mechanic who can build an old analogue bike from scratch, with next to infinite supply of parts, in case she needs one, build a Tenerife from scratch and modified so that she can stay mobile and least amount of malfunctions, sensor problems, electronic issues etc. One of the big reasons, I am sure that although she doesn't expose herself in the night, she still did not want to be stuck somewhere for prolongued time because, when you pass through, you're just a phantom, but if you are there for weeks, waiting for shipped parts, it might draw attention from a lot of people because she sticks out a lot in places she visits. The main idea is to be as mobile as possible, yes. But I'm dead certain the other thing is, she's been in unnerving situations and wants to avoid being stricken anywhere as much as possible
I hope that things work out for you Eva. I was stalked by someone in my martial arts dojo. It came to a point he followed me on my way home good thing I sensed this before I left the parking lot and I ended up hiding under a car till he was gone. Then he would send me suicide threats that if I didn’t go out with him he would kill himself. My best friend died of suicide just a year prior to my experience so I asked the elders in my martial arts dojo to intervene. Turned out he was doing this to a number of other young women in our dojo. Anyway, the elders intervened and spoke to his parents and I left the dojo for another one. If you could sleep on a friend’s couch and change your patterns for a while would be good maybe also do delayed posts on your channel i.e. post stuff from a month back… so people do not know real time where you are. God bless your beautiful soul. May you be protected always in all your travels and endeavours. Leaving is a smart thing to do for now and not giving up. It’s proper risk management as your friend said. Maybe blur signposts that can reveal where you are? Take care.
Living in Northern California, I am used to camping with plenty of wildlife. I love animals. Bears, mountain lions, snakes, coyotes, etc do not scare me at all. It is the human species that terrify me.
Living in Idaho, I car camp a lot usually only a couple days at a time. I see very few people. I few weeks ago I came across a cow camp. Public land is used by cattlemen a lot to graze their stock, I first went through their cow camp and then met them further on. I enjoyed talking to the nearly 6-foot driver of a pickup. The group was heading for winter camp at lower elevations. This person mentioned that the group had killed 40 rattlesnakes the previous winter. I'm glad she was friendly because she wasn't someone to be trifled with, but I enjoyed my visit and directions. Even with good maps and a hand held GPS, traveling in my region is still hard. I got lost trying to go on gravel and dirt roads back to my home but luckily an old guy in a utility truck helped me. I'm also well trained with firearms, but I'm not a mechanic, so if I break down I might have to walk home 50 miles and my arthritic joints don't do well. I only travel, usually in my county which is the 18th largest U.S. county with only 17,000 people but no one lives on back country public land, so I rarely see anyone.
Just stop it. It’s a dangerous and stupid myth to perpetuate. In Romania the government official data shows that in the last 20 years 27 tourists and villagers were killed by the carpathian bears and 274 people were disfigured!
Well, I do love mountain lions, camped solo around them, woke up to two wild lions fighting near my tent in California and had worked with these kitties, and Im a woman. So now you heard of one, son. They are much more harmless than dogs
There’s some people who are so lonely they start to think UA-camrs and celebs are their friends and want them. For all the crazies out there are thousands of real fans that appreciate you and want to see you happy and healthy.❤️
Sorry to hear about your troubles, Eva. DONT LET THEM BREAK YOUR STRIDE OR SPIRIT! DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF, BUT KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE GOOD AND SUPPORT YOU!
Brave to share this! What a terrifying experience. On your own land! I hike, camp and vanlife a lot alone as well. Writing this from my van in the wild (Europe). All I can hear are birds, but each car passing by makes me extra alert. It’s how it is. Like you, I have my own safety rituals: a weapon by my bed, car keys and a charged phone within reach, never share a live location with the internet, but I always let someone know where I am, and always park in a way that let me drive away, and I try to never arrive in the dark. And I have a dog:) My most terrifying experience was someone knocking on my van in the middle of the night, pretending he was a female police officer. I saw him coming, the recording being played, and didn't open of course. Waited forever for him to leave. And then I also drove away. Shakey. And one time someone, either super drunk or drugged told me to move but I had a flat tire and couldn’t go anywhere. I rang the police. Thank god we have dogs! It’s unsettling not to know the intentions and what intoxicated and mental unstable people could potentially be up to. And yet, despite these moments, I feel much safer in the wild than in cities and busy zones. Take some good time reassessing. I’ve been struggling getting into making videos, for which a big reason is less privacy. But also courage and priorities I guess. You inspire me to show up more in the youtube thing. And you encourage sooo many people, especially women I believe to get out there and be wild! I hope you find a way to continue that doesn’t sacrifice the freedom and peace of mind you need. Always follow your instinct. Sending love, care, and solidarity from a fellow adventure sister. ❤
I am sorry this is happening to you. Bear spray works wonders I am in Mississippi where most women who live alone own a gun. I hope you are given peace
My daughter's stalker caught her leaving her apartment to go to work late one night. He violently assaulted her and held her hostage for hours. She was unrecognizable after the attack. That was 7.5 years ago and she still suffers from horrible PTSD. As a mother, it was the worst thing I ever experienced as a parent.
God thats so awful. I hope she can or has found a group for therapy that is helpful. .as a parent myself i cant imagine Prayers for (both of your) continued healing. 🙏🌻
Eva, You put yourself out here month after month, sharing your innermost thoughts, knowledge, triumphs and failures, your wit/charm, your adventurous spirit, your courage, etc. You are beautiful in so many ways and you live a life of peaceful solitude YOUR way. You have sought meaning in your life for what matters to you. All those things and more are all reasons why people may seek you out. I don't think it's right at all, but people are going to do this if you put yourself out there in such a public way. It's a huge attraction to people to live their lives vicariously through you, because you seem like such a happy person who has life all figured out. People are going to venerate you. Some may also see it as a challenge, like Geo-Caching. The bottom line is you need to protect yourself. Get some German Shepherd dogs who are trained to guard the pack. Put up signs warning others they will be shot. Maybe put up a fence. I know these things are not who you are and it goes against every manner in which you interact with people, but the bottom line is people will continue to seek you out as long as you continue to put yourself out there. It's a sad choice to have to choose between living in fear or not sharing all the things in your life with others. No, it's not fair, and again, I don't think it's right that people are doing this to you at all, but the world is full of lots of different people, all with varying degrees of empathy, trust, loyalty, honesty, obsession, jealously, motives, etc. etc. etc. I'm hoping this isn't the end of your channel, as I have enjoyed your musings on life and what it means to enjoy the time we all have here together on this planet. I enjoy watching your journey and I hope you continue to have your peace and safety to live without fear.
Your courage is impressive, as is your resolve. You certainly don't deserve to live with that anxiety. I hope things get better. Put your privacy and safety at the top of the list. Best of luck to you.
I escaped my kidnapper. I solo camp as therapy. You need to add lights outside & away from your tent close to the tree line so you can actually see what’s going on out there after dark. All you’re currently doing is lighting up yourself after dark so someone could sit in those woods & watch you, but you’d never see them. THIS IS WHY WE CARRY OUR PEW PEWS as well, along with mace & bear spray. I camp in state parks in the fall & winter when I’m likely the only camper. My state doesn’t have blm land to camp on. But even with that I’ve gotten a bad gut feeling & packed up to leave as soon as I got set up. I take men’s sized 13 shoes that stay outside the tent, I bring an extra smaller tent & extra chairs to look like I’m not alone. I also got a German shepherd, Labrador & a Labrador/Malinois mix who accompany me now as well. Stay safe out there & ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Oh, and try to leave in daylight when at all possible. Don’t stop for a cup of anything, just get out!
I love the idea of making it look like you are not alone! Good thinking. Unfortunately, she has to pack all of that in but might be well worth it. Also, we all know the creepers are reading this now.
Permanently lighting up the wilderness is not a good idea, for people or wildlife. There are plenty of low light cameras available that should give plenty bright pictures if there is enough light for a human to traverse the terrain. (Infrared lighting is an option but relatively easy to detect with cheap equipment so nothing that will deter the determined).
@@notsonominal Motion-activated lights could be part of the answer. Not a full solution on their own, but as one of the pieces of the puzzle. I think the best option, though, is probably to relocate and then be much more careful about revealing information about the new location.
I hit $113k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.
It's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Evelyn Vera. for years and highly recommend her I focus on him. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
Why can’t women just be left alone in PEACE? Why must we always, always have to factor potential male aggressors into the equation, when we do the things we want to do in this world? Like we aren’t entitled to joy or peace even on our own private land. I’m so sorry this happened to you, and I understand how terrifying this must be.
because they are physically stronger and have dominated the female body for centuries. But that doesn't mean all of them are agressors - it just is dangerous for women on their own
I’m sorry for the sorry state of the world…especially with a “certain president-elect” setting up the worst example for men all over the world to see and “follow”.
@@hcbevin3234 I agree with you 100%. It's concerning now that the trump cult creeps will feel empowered that it's "okay" or that they won't get prosecuted, just like he gets away with everything. Be careful ladies. We need to protect each other. 🦋
this isn't a woman only thing, a man can get killed while traveling as well, happened plenty of times, truth is people in general aren't left alone by other people, humans worst predator and enemy is another human and we're worlds apex predators in general.
@Angleka I know exactly what you mean. Had it been a man's channel the odds would have been definitely lower to find an intruder so comfortable to invade such a private sacred space like someone's HOME.
I want to SCREAM and RAGE for you, Eva. I am furious that after so much work to get your own home you do not feel safe. Because you legitimately are not safe. I am FURIOUS for these disgusting men who think this is okay.
@@Creamyson When I was at University and in High School, I had a habit of finding the crazies. My dating life was literally me throwing darts at the crazy-hot matrix, but filtered for only girls greater than 9 on the crazy scale.
@@johnmatthews4717Stupid man. How would you like it if a complete stranger showed up on your land because they had been looking for you? That's her HOME. Private property.
I'm going to be blunt. He knows where you are and you have to assume he will be back. Next, if he found you, surely other people can as well. You have to prepare for that. Even if he gets arrested and never comes back, someone else could find you the same way he did. Relocating, perhaps with the help of professionals, is unfortunately your safest bet. No amount of locked doors and security cameras can protect you from a committed stalker. The alternative is armed security. I'm not going to lie to you or downplay the situation like others might. This is serious you need to act. Don't be afraid, but be realistic and aware.
No, but a gun, bear spray, pepper spray, self-defense classes are the best chance of stopping stalkers. Woman or man, you need to be able to defend yourself anywhere if travelling alone or living off the grid. It is the sad reality, unfortunately.
we are not allowed to defend ourselves in Europe we can’t own guns for protection against human aggressors or wild animals and the right to private property is also a joke in Europe compared to America
@@cherylp3710 remember there are countries outside US, so no guns. I’m glad we don’t have guns because this guy could have been trigger happy if he felt rejected by her. Crazy people out there
@@boredom3646 You can get permit for carry in Poland and it's not hard. Problem would be no safe in solid structure in the tent. I think it's still required.
My prayers to you as you figure out the next right steps. When you're a public person (I'm one too) you are vulnerable to others who have unsavory intentions. We protect ourselves many different ways but the most important one is being in community with others. We can look out for each other and show when someone needs protection. Think about that idea in your planning process. Be well, Eva!
That's absolutely terrifying! It's scary to think there are people out there who would act this way. I noticed you may have inadvertently shared information about your location when you mentioned the B&B near your property. My wife and I, who live in Krakow, actually looked up the B&B hoping to visit someday - but this makes me realize that someone with malicious intent could have done the same thing. I'm so sorry you're going through this unsettling experience. Please know you have our complete support and are in our thoughts. ❤️
Exactly this. I noticed this too and commented then out of worry that something like this could happen in the future. People can do a lot of stuff with just close by landmarks like that one.
@@krewetkaaaa i heard her say that in her previous vlog, and thought the 'b&b' was as if saying, "the market's close by.", without disclosing the exact location, since bed and breakfast houses are all over. Terrible security breach
There are 3 stages 1. they don't care, 2. they search maybe locate, but would never visit or approach, and then 3. there are these creeps who really cross the line!
as a very recent victim of stalking, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It has ruined my life. I cannot sleep without a gun in the room because I'm afraid to hear that break of glass in the night. Spent hundreds on security cameras. Considering leaving the area. I hope your situation isn't as bad as mine. Leaving is not 'giving up'. It's preserving your mental health. And I'll just say in my situation, I refused to give into the fear, but the situation just got worse until this whackjob eventually tried to light my house on fire while I was inside.
Isn't it terrible that us women cannot enjoy our peace without a man intimidating and scaring us. Unfortunately to be safe, we have to do what feels safe and if that means taking yourself off the land for a while, then that's what has to be done. Time for you to regroup and think. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Sending you a huge hug ❤

I have seen your video, and I just want to say that this is not fair. No one should have to go through what you are experiencing. I am truly sorry for what you are going through and sending you all my strength and warmth.
I'm a 48 year old man and I live in a rural location. It is common around here to wave at passing cars or pedestrians who are out walking. Recently I noticed that woman more often than not don't wave, especially when they are on their own. I wondered why this was the case, and then it dawned on me that if they wave at a man, then some men would think it was an invitation instead of just a greeting. I mentioned my observation to my sister and she was like well duh!, she said she was once followed around a supermarket because she smiled back at a guy.
Duh, indeed. Now think further: Women have to be alert at all times. We have to be suspicious of every situation where we encounter a man on our own because not just our personal experience but also history has shown what happens. All the time. Every single woman I know has made multiple experiences with scary men who tried something or succeeded. Imagine your privilege not having to live with that level of precaution at all times.
Yep, that's the sad truth. I often like to be friendly to all people and also currently work in a customer service job. I am so sad to see how often it happens when a friendly smile or word or two is thought to be flirting 😕 I feel sorry and frustrated that women have to be careful even being friendly and for decent men who experience things like you or even worse, because of the stupid ones. Also some men seem to think, that all women like being complimented on their body. I can tell to most it feels intrusive. Especially at swimming hall or such 🤮 I am glad you know why this is happening, that in many cases the women aren't just being rude. Have to add that most men are still decent. So I still continue to be friendly and try act cooler with creepy ones
How the CAMERA knew the exact location the "Creepers" were going to Walk by?? And, if he went there to "hunt" her down and "hurt" her, how come he didn't do it when he had the Chance and just let her Walk away that easily?? And, did she announce on her show the exact LOCATION where she was for him to know which way to go to find her?? Like she said!!
Hi Eva, If he seems to always know where you are: He could had put a GPS tracker in something you own, e.g. car, luggage. Apple's AirTag is also something to be aware of. There're are apps who can tell you if something, e.g. An AirTag or something like it, is tracking you.
Good advice. He could have put a GPS tracker on your truck also. Have it throughly checked out to clear it from tracking devices. It might be a good idea to change your phone and phone #. It could have been hacked and now be tracking. So sad that this has been your new reality. I'm truly sorry.
@@charonstyxferryman My thoughts exactly. My ex put a GPS tracker beneath my car last year. Also, why why why did she displayed her car plate for the world to see here?
Jesus...if that's one way of how he found her location, then there's definitely a possibility that he had other intentions. If his excuse were "I just wanted to hangout", its probably just a fake excuse cause no one who just wants to "hang out" is gonna stalk someone by finding their location using a gps tracker unless they wanted to act on their other motives
Android phones have a tracker scanner built in, go to settings, and search "unknown tracker alerts" enable it and it can scan automatically, but there's also a manual scan that allows you to pinpoint a tracker... in my job were supposed to scan our company vehicles to protect ourselves... I imagine it's also in European phones...
Yes Eva I will be polite ❤️ what your are experiencing is really sad…..I’m in Canada and and being 66 years old, I love following your videos….being public and doing what you love, these people doing this to you is not what you were doing this for . Hope this will change. Fallowing you inspires a lot of people around the world….DON'T STOP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE. A far away friend from Canada. Cheers
Oh lovely, i am a mum of 5 girls, a grandma, and my heart goes out to you it is sooooo wrong. I cried seeing you cry , your honesty and vulnerability are felt deeply. God i am angry You are strong , beautiful,intelligent you are amazing , dont give up for men , then they have won ! Adopt big shepherd dogs and electric fences and maybe woofas (young folk working for board and lodgings)on the edge of your land living in a caravan in exchnge with security and dog sitting. we love following you you are so inspirational . But safety goes first in this fucked up world. You are in our thoughts darling and we re sending you strenghth, ❤❤❤❤❤
Wasp spray, 27 feet of continuous spray in the face, they will wish they hadn’t… get many cans and cart one . more cameras too. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. It would be a loss to us if you discontinued your journey, you are such an inspiration - don’t let them take this from you. Fight back in whatever way you can. It’s outrageous and terrifying! Not staying there until you have the camp secured is not giving up , your being wise. Praying a circle of protection around you! ❤ You are so brave 🌸
Wasp spray is good but most cans are fairly large. More practical would be to have pepper spray that contains indicator dye so authorities can positively identify the perpetrator. Most pepper sprays easily fit on a Keychain or EDC carry.
Thanks for showing us that nothing is ever perfect. I'm a czech fifteen year old with great aspirations for my future, and it is amazing to know that people like you exist. People who are honest, fair and stay true to themselves. I'm so glad I found your channel. Love from Brno, Doubravka ❤
That's so terrifying. I can't imagine being able to sleep with what's going on - you would feel exposed. You are brave and strong and making good decisions.
Eva, if you intend to use a knife as a self defense weapon, please get yourself the proper training, or get training with Mace or another similar pepper spray. Better yet, get a comprehensive course on self-defense for women. You are an independent, often solo adventurer. Situations like this, unfortunately, could happen again. Such courses also give you training in how to assess someone approaching you, teach about cover and concealment, escaping holds someone may have on you, and much much more. They're worth doing for peace of mind as you adventure through the world.
Americans are different but I don't know anyone who would live that remotely without a gun. I'd have a shotgun or rifle plus a side arm to carry. Protection from animals and that includes the men who are hunting you down. Women have a right to feel safe anywhere but that isn't the real world we live in. Get a gun and take gun safety classes so that you learn how to be a responsible gun owner. Don't let it be known that you have taken these steps. Then go back to your land secretedly and protect yourself and your land. It is your right!
I really hope she reads your comment. She doesn’t hold a knife like she could defend herself. I would have grabbed ax. I grew up with guns but still learned some basic techniques for when I’m unarmed.
Parasocial relationships are scary, but these guys are even scarier. Hope these "fans" see the video and understand what they have done. And I really hope this does not encourage even other "fans" to set out to "save" you.
Eva, Life is so unpredictable! Sorry this happened to you. I'm a woman who does alone roadtrips sometimes. Safety is on the top of my list. You deserve peace & spaciousness. Sending you warming ❤ from California, USA.
These kind of stalking incidents can turn out srsly dangerous, Eva. I totally understand your feelings. All I can say is that human beings "can be" very very strange. No matter when and where.
Arm yourself…(if you can in your country) having Vilk isn’t enough for your protection. In America we have the 2nd Amendment: “The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was ratified on December 15, 1791, along with nine other articles of the Bill of Rights. “
Eva, so glad you are following your instinct to step away from a dangerous situation. You are one of the most inspirational women I have seen and are an example for us in your courage to follow your path and know when it’s time to delay a dream until you can be safe and joyful living the dream. Cheering you on. Be safe!
This is so awful. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. My wife has a public profile too and we had a stalker. He tracked us around the world for 2 years, even shot at me with a rifle. His plan was to kill me so he could be with her. He was relentless. Things ended badly for him. But the impact of his actions scarred us for life, so we take precautions to this day: 1) Be alert at all times (unfortunate reality now - borderline OCD/PTSD for us) 2) We never give our address to anyone - we always use a post office box or UPS mailing address. We are VERY private. 3) We use aliases whenever we can filling out any forms because these databases will eventually get hacked 4) We never tell anyone where we are going or where we are until we have left that area/country 5) We do not allow strangers (contractors) into our house when she is in it and I watch them the whole time. 6) Never post images giving a clue where you live/what you drive etc. 7)Try to always have your dog (or two) or a friend with you. 8) Get help from mental health professionals - stalkers cause serious emotional damage from the stress. Best wishes and love. I hope It all works out for you.
Eva. Something that UA-camrs probably do not realize is that when they disclose their journeys, their lives, their adventures, many viewers think that they are somewhat "frieds with" the youtuber. They think that they know you at a level which obviusly not. These men are only one of 1.3 million people following your channel. It goes for them beyond entertainment or information. Yet. That is also the reason why OF took off. Lots of lonenly men sitting in their computers believing that somehow they have a "relationship" or friendship with a person on a screen.
True that! There's a dark side to this UA-cam fame. Eva has become a sort of "public" figure at this point, which has a price. She reveals too much of her private life and whereabouts. Things always happen for a reason and there's a valuable lesson here for her. She's smart and she'll figure it out. When one door closes, another one opens.
@@ja9795then you are as delusional and deplorable as the guy in the video. She did NOT invite anyone to her property or her life. If you can’t understand what information and entertainment is idk how to help you. Find someone with basic common sense in your life to explain it to you.
As a father of 3 daughters this is the type of stuff that makes me sick. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. You should not have to feel unsafe especially on your own property. You should feel safe and secure everywhere, but especially on your own private land.
This is only apparently her private property. Until it is fenced, which is impossible, everyone has the right to enter. Poles love walking in the forest and mountains because nature is a common good. Unless you fence it as private land.
@@sagittario5405 It’s the same in Sweden where I live, but that doesn’t give you the right to walk up to the person or their house uninvited and say “there you are, I’ve been looking for you”. That’s something completely different.
@@sagittario5405 Someone passing through her property is NOT what I was talking about and you know it. If you think someone innocently walking through her property was the problem then you're missing the point.
❤❤ Ava u are not giving up , this is about your safety. We all want u safe .. your dog will know instantly if something out there don’t belong there keep ur dog close to u . So sorry that this is happening. God bless u .
Eva, I am no one and I have been stalked in my lifetime 3 times. I wil say it again, I am no one. I live in the US and I own guns and know how to use them, and will if I need to. That is the only reason I feel safe at home in the mountains alone. I KNOW what you are feeling right now. I don't know what your laws are there or to what degree you would protect yourself. I only know what I can and will do at my own home. So many men in this world feel so entitled when it comes to women. They do not believe that women should have anything to say about the choices they make, even if that choice is to have you. Thier ego is so much bigger than thier brain, its pathetic. That is not to say that there are no good men, I know some of the best men in the world and I trust them whole heartedly. Please do not let a few bad ones wreck your dreams. Get tough. Check out what happened to Vanessa Blank. She has a YT channel and was stalked, even though she is married. Maybe talk to some people who have had these things happen and see what they did about it. In the end your safety is up to you. A restraining order is only a paper ultimately. I don't know what your options are for equalizers, but don't give up your dreams because of freaks. I also have bear spray, a taser, a nasty Rotwieler that hates people and the will to do whatever I need to so that no one hurts me. I hope you can figure this out and not quit what you do. You are a treasure to most of the world. Remember that, most of the world respects you.
@wout123100 Wow. I had nothing to do with him, I haven't seen any image you say he posted, and Eva says she is in her early 30's being stalked. What does any of that have to do with a freak like trump? Angry are you? You think I wanted that POS as a president? Or you are just a troll. Do you really want to have this conversation here? Go to Washington gun law and you will see me call out trumps people all the time. We can have this conversation there if you want. I have no social media so the only other way we talk is if you hunt me down and show up at my house, my sanctuary, uninvited. Want to try that?
Hi Eva, I rarely comment in any videos, but I wanted to give you my support. Im sorry this happened, and im glad you are ok. Your videos have taught me so much, and this one does not take away any of it. This is not quitting, this is being smart. Stay safe and do what is best for you 💛
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I had a stalker and had to buy a firearm at the recommendation of local police. Your safety is paramount. Don't ignore your instincts.... too many women have suffered unspeakably due to this behavior. I am now married to a cop and there are still days where the stalker haunts me.
I'm sorry to hear that your sense of security has been tested. I'm 60 years old and a woman. A sense of security is what we all want, but with the internet, UA-cam and TikTok are part of our lives. This is the first time I have watched your UA-cam channel. I see a beautiful and smart woman living her life to the fullest. Don't let these strange people scare you. Many famous women need to protect themselves with more security. Think about putting fencing along your properties and some larger dogs. Don't let fear win.
Thank you for sharing what’s going on with your life. You have the right to feel safe, and to be safe. If that means leaving the property for a while, to figure out what’s right for you at this point in your life, that’s 100% OK. You are not giving in to darkness, you are finding your light, and the right safety path for you. If I may make a suggestion, moving forward - when making a video &/or share anything about where you live, don’t give any distinguishing information. The moment you told your audience what mountain range you were on, it was only a matter of time before crazy people found you. In the future, be as vague as you possibly can, for your safety. You’re well-being must always come first. Sending you positive energy, and wishing you the absolute best!
In my 20s and early 30s, I was heavily into hiker and camping. And depending on the time of year, you would meet the same people over and over on the trail or at a campground. There were a lot of single women who did van-life, camping, and hiking by themselves. They would always tell us stories about men stalking them or just "incidentally" showing up at several campsites they were at. There are some truly broken delusional individuals out there. If shutting down your channel is what you have to do, I hate to see you go, but I understand why.
@edwardmacnab354 We would sometimes have to grab people and drag them away from bears because they're trying to take a picture with a bear thinking that black bears are big dogs!
@@edwardmacnab354 You just don't understand the perhaps irrational fear that most women have around this man/bear exercise. We have heard so many terrible things that have happened to women -- things *_far_* worse than being killed. The vast majority of us certainly do not think that all men are bad. Instead, it's that we don't have a way to know *_which_* ones are until it's too late, and we fear that it would be our luck to meet that man in the woods.
@@theylied1776 yes , we have the same type of thing happen on vancouver island , Local bears can become quite docile and tourists play into that not realizing that the more wilder bears can be very very dangerous if they sense they can take advantage of you
Nothing excuses this kind of behavior. That said, anyone who has aspirations of being a content creator should know this is the reality. When you make yourself a public commodity, people WILL seek you out like this... well-intentioned or not. It's not for everyone, and in fact it's very much not for most people who don't have the resources and know-how to keep themselves safe. Frankly, any amount of visibility on the internet can lead to this, increased visibility just makes it worse. So I really recommend that everyone think on such things carefully before getting into it. It's not nice, it's not fair, but it's reality.
i agree , i left the same comment. after years of watching an influencer a person feels like they are a friend some don't realize that friendship is one sided the influencer doesn't know you from adam. putting your life on the web takes away any privacy you have and exposes you to everyone the good as well as the bad remember that .
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I pray for your safety and well-being. You are so freaking brave. I wouldn’t or couldn’t do what you’re doing. Eek.
I can't imagine this. Both of these psychos should be locked up. The real monsters are always human. So sad. stay strong and from a honest hardworking man this breaks my soul. You deserve the best and the sanctity of safety.

@@brian-jv9bt you're, not "your"...and also, you're commenting in the wrong spot...and she's not weak, she's having a human response to being stalked by two separate crazy men.
@@Miss9830 he's right, you don't understand the definition of weak, running a marathon doesn't make you strong, and living alone in the woods does not make you strong nor smart, it just shows your ignorance to real life and the dangers you're putting yourself in.

Sad that i knew something like this would happen eventually. Showing your location to millions of people on the internet unfortunately can attract all sorts of weirdos. Please stay safe out there
She wasn’t showing her location. I hike in Polish mountains quite regularly and I wouldn’t be able to tell where her land is just from watching Eva’s content. Let’s not put it on her that some psycho put in an effort to locate her. Also sometimes you can be randomly wild-camping and that will still happen to you that someone will invade you sleeping arrea in the middle of the night just to toy with you. I had that happen to me. And i was not sharing anything. It’s just men being psychos because they feel like they’re entitled to it
@@ancymonek1984 it's a skill. look at geoguessr, it's an online game where you have to guess your location from just from a google street view picture. anyone can get good at it, and some people can guess the location of some landmark to within a few hundred metres just within a few seconds. and anyone obsessed with her like this, probably watches her channel and finds some little tidbits of info to piece together to get even more sure about the location. it shouldn't be on her to hide this info, but ultimately, it is.
@@ancymonek1984 When she parked for the night in this video you could see the trail sign and sometimes, those markers, as well as just a skyline or tree line are all stalkers need to find a location. It is not victim blaming, it is just a fact that you cannot disclose such details, especially as a woman. There is a fun game online called GeoGuesser, you are dropped into a place on google maps and have to guess where you are. Many people are very very good at figuring out where they are by the tiniest of details in an image. So yes, someone could just look at a skyline and know where to find that location exactly.
I feel the same way, I am actually surprised this hasn't happened sooner. I actually have a hard time watching her videos because of how unsafe it all felt at times for me. This exprience now is terrifying but thankfully, she has been "lucky", she got away okay. That "luck" may not last. I have always been scared for her, I can't imagine now how scared she must then be.
@@ancymonek1984 ahum you are way out of contact with reality, its easy to find any location from just dronevids, that you cannot do it, shows your ignorance.
I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. As a father of a beautiful daughter I constantly think of her safety, that you do find these predators out there. I had a very frank talk with her not too long ago where by I first apologised that she and all women in the world have to face this adversity just because they are female. It disgusts me that men feel they have this right over women. Gave her the warnings like most parent do with their children about strangers and strange places, but one thing I have told her a few times now, if she finds herself in an unwanted situation, get out and if she can't, start screaming, start fighting with everything you have, to bite, scratch and kick and don't stop, that she not stop at all. Being submissive in that moment empowers the perpetrator and they feel that they now have the power over you. As a man, I pray that one day soon, women will regain their power, to walk without fear and live free as they choose. I pity the man who attempts to harm my daughter and or my wife, my life will mean nothing without them. So again, I do hope that you find peace and safety where ever you decide to lay your head. Much love
Cześć Pani Ewa… I’ve often wondered how a young woman like you can go out alone into the wilderness and feel safe and secure. It is brave of you, but your innocence and trusting personality is a liability. These incidents are a warning to you and young women like you that it’s highly dangerous to be out on your own, even in places where you feel comfortable such as Poland. If you choose to continue on your adventures, I’d highly recommend you find a trusting partner (as well as Wilk) to traverse the world more safely. Szeroki drogi and God bless!
American woman here and I figured that was one of the reasons you left the US was maybe an issue such as this, but never thought you’d have that problem in your home country. You’ve been given some good advice by people here. I pray you are able to get your sense of peace back.
No, this didn't happen to her in the US. She regretfully gave up her dream of living in the US because of the high price of land in the Western states, which is where she wanted to be.
Im really sorry you experienced something like this. So scary. Who remembers that campaing asking women 'What would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours?' Shockingly the most common answer was ' walk around freely at night'. So true
Thanks everyone for your kind words, I really appreciate your love and support ❤️ Please know that I never post my live location when I’m still there, and I take various other safety precautions. However this doesn’t stop some people from crossing very serious lines… anyhow, I appreciate you all being here (virtually, lol!), and I hope to find some way to navigate this situation.

I had a stalker for a couple of years. I won't go into the details. I would agree to meet him to have a Civilized fight with boxing gloves at a mutual friends house. NO he wanted a street fight. Finally a couple of years later we bumped into each other at a local watering hole. A Bully I went to high school was in the bar too. I told him to come outside and watch my back to be sure the fight was fair, but he was too drunk to understand me. I normally wear loose pants and tennis shoes when I go out to Bars.
I squared off with the dude and boxed the crap out of him. I broke his big nose. I threw a karate kick that did not hurt him so much , but he fell backwards and hit his head against a car wheel. There was a group of bikers watching and I knew they would have my back too if this dude pulled out a knife or something. The bikers said the little dude is kicking the crap out of the bigger dude.
After I humiliated him, I was always afraid he might come after with me with a gun, but he never did. I came out of a store one day as he pulled into the parking lot. He looked the other way and pretended like he didn't see me. We were actually dating sisters at one time. I warned my GF's Sister that he was Creepy and she should not let that dude be around her daughter. She figured that out after 3 months or so.
Also I had a contract to do some Trucking for a Local Phamaceutical mfg and this dude with try and run my large truck off the road with a Dodge Dokota Pickup Truck .
@evazubeck I believe the mistake you have made is posting the video about the Shepherd tradition in the Carpathian Mountains . Sometimes the costumes and the songs give the region and area away but I believe the name of the village might have been exposed. Then it is just a matter of asking the locals about you.. Stay safe Eva and I hope you will eventually find your peace !
the fact that you had to go down to your car in the middle of the fucking night is heartbreaking !!! The risk of wolves seems so less scary when compared to an unknown man. Me as someone who is so afraid of the dark would have done the same. More strength to you.
I'm a police detective and I just want to validate your feelings and tell you to continue trusting your instincts. The legal system can only offer limited help, especially to a person that lives where you do. Mentally unstable men have been doing this to women since the beginning of time. Never try to reason or negotiate with men like this. Retreat until you can fight back then fight hard. Commit to doing whatever it takes to survive. It shouldn't be this way and all of us hate it but unfortunately is happens to way too many women. Be strong, be safe, keep fighting for YOUR life.
@@murf6997 thank you for doing the job you do. It can’t be easy, especially these last few years. Stay safe ❤️
Thank you for protecting women.
We Europeans need a 2nd amendment, less gun control, self defence reinstated. After WW2 in Europe we got by salami tactics stripped of self defence, by politicians doing not one step in public without being surrounded by a dozen armed security guards. Politicians who installed laws releasing them from any responsibility of their evil deeds. Good Trump won and I deeply hope MAGA movement swaps over the Atlantic to Europe. 200 yrs ago, men were obligated to wear a weapon and that was good like so. It should be reinstated and of course extended to woman. Bureaucrats don’t help and the police does not show up before I was murdered, so if it comes to my personal protection, police is totally useless also. Got it? I wished we were in Texas.
@@caravanlifenzThe police can’t protect anyone. The show up after you have been killed.
As a retired policeman a totally agree with @murf6997 , but safety first. There are things you can do but you already had a lot of advice, but stay alert and be carefull.
I don't know if others have said this, but I just wanted to say that leaving that space for now is not giving up or giving in. You are using the tools that you have to protect yourself, and being in a different location where you can feel safe and regroup is the strongest thing to do. You got this ❤
Amen!
Thanks for the reminder 🙏
Don't stay there anymore until you can be safe. So sorry, but safety comes first and life is precious. And not everybody has good intentions. It's not giving up, it's about being smart and safe.❤

The dark side of being a celebrity, even a modest-sized celebrity, is that you attract unstable people. A substantial percentage of the general population is mentally ill, delusionally irrational, violent, etc. That percentage might be 1%, 2%, or even higher. So if you have 1.8 million UA-cam subscribers, then at least 18,000 have psychological and behavioral problems. Most will not focus on you personally, but let's say that 1% of the 18,000 unstable ones do. That means 180 delusional people are focused on you personally. This is why celebrities have bodyguards, live in walled compounds, carry guns, and only interact with the public in very controlled environments. I hope you stay safe and move forward with your life. It is good that Vilk is with you, as he would fight to protect you.
all of ted bundy's victims were celebrities.
Send Vilk to get personal bodyguard protection training. Just as you would not send an untrained person into combat, you cannot expect your untrained, but loving dog to go into combat for you. Get him the training that he needs to successfully protect both you and himself.
@@tienmou68and when the perp has a gun or knife for the dog? Then what?
exactly right these people think they just profit from fans and don't need to reinvest in security... they grow up in a safe bubble and think the world is unicorns, rainbows and easy cash. any public figure knows that dealing with fans or haters is part of the biz. regardless of gender.
@@RobertMJohnson no not true. His victims were largely random.
Look out for your safety first. While it's nice to know what we can look forward to, it may be better to not announce future plans and where you will be traveling. Wait and post after you have gone on to a different location.
Good advice! 👍
OMG I'm so heartbroken for you! Are you safe right now? My anxiety is sky high for you! Please be safe and don't stay. It isn't worth it. Guarantee your safety!!!
Posting e.g. 6 mo old, even 1 yr old, footage is normal in the sailing cruisers community. That's good for personal safety.

@@BlackBearForge Yes that makes sense of course. Best not to show her vehicle with license plate in clear view. Surely there's an easy way to blur out a plate number in editing.

I am a 72 young mother and grandmother and i do not understand why someone ( men and women alike!) wants to live in the middle of nowhere with the possibility of meeting bears, wolves and dangerous human males.
I am so , very sorry this happened to You, I too had a similar, much more scarier experience. I lived alone in My Wilderness Cabin in No Where Yukon, when I came home from My Midnight shift at the hospital, I found a Man already waiting there for Me. Since we leave our doors unlocked, in the North, in case there are emergencies for folks who made need shelter, I found a Man inside My wee 10'x10' cabin... he was a construction worker at the hospital, he never did tell Me how he found out where I lived, alone... I leave a loaded .22 by the door and I had my hunting knife... My 2 dogs tried to warn Me prior, by greeting Me in My laneway, I just thought they were extra happy to see Me! My female then 'glued' herself to my side and gave low growls, I thought there was maybe an animal nearby, there were no tire tracks and no vehicle close to My property. He had already started a fire in my sauna, and was clearly drunk at 0830hrs. My hairs went up, I asked him to leave, told him my dog was trained to an attack word, he left, or so I thought, he then came back fully naked, trying to force me into the sauna.. I yelled and screamed, in case my closest neighbour was home, he wasn't... I grabbed my rifle and aimed it steadily on his face, fired the first shot, into the ground; to let him know I was serious, that was then he took me seriously and left.... will never forget that feeling and YES; THIS IS WHY WOMEN CHOOSE THE BEAR
@@PLane-bj7zn Why are you so rude to this man? He just wanted some love
Showing up uninvited, unknown is not illegal, you need to make it illegal, post signage, be armed and capable. I've been concerned this would happen as many men are watching this show and yearn for someone the opposite of the Kardashians. Doing anything alone in the wilderness is dangerous these days man and especially women. Society has not taught manners, decorum, or courtship for decades.
@@kerryscott3287 I was armed and more than capable, You think a No trespassing sign is going to stop a DBag? This was many decades ago, there was no internet, and my property was very isolated and not visible from any road, he had to walk in... he laid in wait, while making himself comfortable in My own home, while I was not there........
bless your heart. we always need to have guns and dogs if we live in the wilderness like that. Appalachia isn't quite as remote as the Yukon, but man it's close, LOL. so scary. nobody deserves to have their privacy and safety and sanctity of their home violated like that. ugh
As a resident of AK, thank God you had a gun, sorry to hear this had happened. Sad the world has people like this in it.
1. Check your vehicle top to bottom for any tracking devices.
2. Change your license plate immediately! And start covering it up in your videos.
3. Don't announce your plans of where you're going.
4. As bad as it sounds, you should consider buddying up with someone instead of going solo. This day in age there's more creeps than ever in history, and these days, they have more capabilities.
5. If you go back to your land, put up a perimeter fence around your structure & add motion sensor spotlights (preferably with cameras in each direction) to aid in deterring or slowing down whatever threatens your well being, which at the very least can give you time to prepare to react/defend. Because sadly, this is the reality of a solo camper/traveler.
6. Not sure about the laws of owning a firearm there, but you should seriously consider it along with any training to get you comfortable using said protection if you don't already.
And lastly, you made the right choice to leave. Especially with your dog on alert, there was definitely a potential threat lurking about.
@@_Simple_J_ this is perfect
Gun. Defo
As someone who has lived extensively in both the US and an EU country, I vehemently disagree with the gun suggestion. EU countries have very different laws than the US concerning gun ownership and hurting/killing even intruders with a gun; it may be more risk than reward. However, I think a proper perimeter fence with cameras and motion sensor lights should have been installed before Eva spent the first night in the tent. As she said, wolves are a big problem in her area, so just for them, the extra security of a fence and lights would have been prudent. Now, even more so.
No point in changing the license plate. License plates don't give any information except for the city where it was registered (in Poland). Only the police and certain governmental agencies can pull the information off of a license plate.
Electric fence
I am so sorry that this has happened. No one deserves to live in fear.

I've worked private security for a long time and that sort of behavior is a massive red flag and that's a total understatement. To go through that sort of effort indicates extremely dangerous behavior. Please seek some sort of outside help. No idea what your budget is, or how the polish police will handle these things. A restraining order will do nothing to a determined offender and may actually make it worse.
Can't do anything about it, no laws were broken.
@@versedi Trespassing on private property.
Yeah. While not the same situation, I have reported being stalked and death threats made by a group of men and women.
They threw some threats around in real life, whenever and if they ever saw me, but they mainly did it online. (I was jumped by two girls from the group and managed to fend them off, sending one to a hospital, which is what triggered this situation)
Polish police came back to me saying they can't do anything because there was no way of determining if they were the ones writing these comments online.
In the end I was lucky because nothing happened. At the time my heart sunk and I felt so alone. I had no additional help from school or law enforcement. My father bought me pepper spray and to this day I feel it was the most precious gift I ever got.
Even getting a restraining order is tough and I am not sure if I could trust anyone to care, believe or treat stalking seriously. Not to mention that it's just a piece of paper that doesn't stop anybody from actually doing 'the thing'.
Sigh
@@versedi Stalking is illegal and a crime.
@@InsoIence Damn. I agree that you dad's gift was thoughtful. And I am glad that everything worked out well and you are fine. ☺ Cheers
Is this a 'reenactment' of what happened?? It's gotta be, right?? because....well, there's some things. Also, you are so FORTUNATE AND BRAVE that you were able to make/edit a video to recreate all that beautiful but creepy music with that wonderful lighting and then the shots of a beautiful morning when you discovered you survived the ordeal. To have to walk so far into the woods in the darkness, save for the light of your camera to guide you, must have been so traumatic. The guy could have grabbed you at any moment. And the dog, so well behaved except for when he kept disobeying you to jump into the back seat at the end of the video. So cute!!! I admire your strength. When I was sexually assaulted by my stalker I didn't have the strength to make such a creative video and talk about my horrible experience in such an inspiring way that you have. I wish I too had been filming that bright daylight afternoon...cause that would have saved me all the trouble of looking at police line-ups. 😐
So as a woman who spent a lifetime camping solo in backcountry, hunting and hiking and exploring, people are really the only predators I had to worry about. I do carry a gun now when I am out because of experiences I had that were very terrifying and close calls. I also use motion activated solar lights around my tent as early warning systems as well as some other more secretive alert systems. The best thing is to use deterrents as much as possible but give yourself as much early warning also so you can be alert and properly responsive when needed. I am not the kind of woman to let people prevent me from doing the things I love and I don’t think you are either. I am familiar and proficient with firearms and have had personal defense training as well. A good guard dog helps. Mine was a Doberman who has since passed and she was often deterrent enough. There are always going to be men who think they know you or want to possess you. Who knows what stories they cook up in their heads or delusions they harbor. Just know you can find ways to continue on the path you have chosen. Don’t let the b-ds get you down!
Yes, in Eva's situation I agree, especially if she wants to reclaim her land and tent living. I'm not a gun advocate and don't have one but her situation and celebrity changes everything.
Thank you for sharing your story. I second a lot of what you wrote ❤

Hi Eva, I've been stalked, I used to ride the bus while living in Austin TX, this guy decided once to follow me around the mall, then onto the bus, thankfully the bus driver caught on to what he was doing and kicked him off the bus... but that was just the beginning.. for a year and a half this guy kept finding me on buses and trying to follow me home. All the time I was stern and asked him to leave me alone, but I was "civilized" when I spoke to him. One night I was going home with 3 full bags of groceries and lo and behold he appears out of nowhere at the bus stop, and waits to see what bus I'm taking and gets on. I was able to trick him and got off the bus without him noticing because the bus was full... either way I started running. He realized what I had done and he stopped the bus, got off and started running after me. I crossed a highway and ran as fast as I could, I made it to an apartment building and turned around and yelled at him from the top of my lungs. He was shocked... and I saw fear in his face and he tried to calm me down but when I saw the fear I yelled louder. The apartment building had an enclosed stairwell and I had proped the door open, the echo in the stairwell amplified my voice and everyone could hear me. He kept saying he was following me because he wanted to "apologize" I yelled to him that I didn't care and yelled louder "stop harrasing me, stop following me" I turned around and slammed the door and ran up the stairwell. He didn't follow. I never saw him again. What I learned? Bring the f***ing BEAST out of you onto these people. Don't act civilized towards them, be derranged to the nth power!!!. And yes, also do all the other things people have advised, all of that is great, but bring your beast out.
I love your spirit, stay strong, stay safe! ❤
It took a while for you to release the beast.
You must have had enough
For a year and a half then you realized you need to be angry and yell to scare him off. Ouch! I guess, better late than never, but I also don't know if you are just very patient person or just stupid. Year and a half.
@@kyleydiamond That is a wrong way of thinking what if and is it my fault if I do this or that, will I make this man angry. No! Year and a half is a long time and you have that much patience or whatever that is to just deal with it day in and day out without doing anything? Not even talking to someone, professional, just doing something. Start with restraining order like Eva and go from there, but just to live with it and experience fear for so long, absolutely not. One should also get something for protection and show it, so they know they cannot f... around.
@@titajay3814 I understand that 😂. Done that too (let my beast out). Didn't feel fear though more like uncontrollable anger
@@EsmaTabak55 Don't call someone stupid just like that.
this makes me SOOOOOO ANGRY for you. i also suffered from a stalker when i was living in the city during college and i know what it's like to live in constant fear and viligance - afraid to walk home in case they were watching me. i would walk in crazy circles through the city to go to class in case they were following me and i didn't want to lead them back to my apartment. it made me physically unwell. i wouldn't allow myself to go to the same grocery store nearby more than once a month - i had to have a whole plan anytime i went outside and i was crumbling with the pressure of it all. it really does destroy your freedom. i had to go out of my way to do ANYTHING. this makes me SOOOO angry that you are having to go through this on your beautiful private land. you deserve a safe place to rest in between all your travels. you did the right thing in leaving. you're not giving up. you are taking care of yourself! and keep talking about it!!!!! men need to hear stories like this to LEARN. i'm also so sad to hear about the other stalker following you to africa. sharing your story is so BRAVE and you did not retreat! it's for those men who are stalking you to feel shame for their actions - not you!
I'm sorry that happened to you! How did you end up getting rid of him? Did you move?
Don’t be so stubborn Eva! Follow your gut. Leaving is not giving up. Leaving was the safest option.
Yes it definitely was. Thank you Audra ❤
Omg she is not alone at all. Look at the camera when she arrives at the car. Everything staged Clickbait. When you are really in fear you don’t Illuminate and film from different angles 😂
@@MYT-Ixe bruh she would be the biggest actress the world as ever witnessed if this was staged. you may not be very good at reading ppl and understanding whats real and fake. you will get better with age dont worry
The acting is mediocre at best.
@@MYT-Ixe She's alone where she is on her land. Don't be stupid.
To both of the creepers who went above and beyond in their stupidity. If you are reading this please seek professional psychological help. Creating fear in someone's life is not ok..Its never ok. 🤬
There is a good chance they’ll be here reading the comments. Broken hearted because things didn’t work out the way they played them out in their head!
That is the point of stalking behaviour. She is describing a psychiatric disorder as well. None of it is her fault.
Not stupidity, it's perverse
Why do assume they are mentally unstable? plus, if there's no fence there's nothing stoping you from crossing someone's land. You can't even know you are on one unless there's clear sign stating that. What if I were hiking and just met her right there, at the same spot? Should I seek psychiatrist as well?
@@hadeseye2297 Yes, you should. I can't believe you are making excuses like this. The creep said "I FINALLY FOUND YOU". Jeez. Is it you?
Until you get a home built, with locks, and security, you can't stay in the tent. This is a strange world with bad people in it. The problem is that when you are a known personality on the internet, people can find you. Everyone has access to satellites that can go by just one name or word and find you. I have to find people in my work, and anyone can be found. No matter even if you are way up in the woods. So the deal is to protect yourself - at all times. You have a beautiful property, don't give up on that. Build a cabin that you can lock up. Build a road to the cabin so you have a fast safe route. But don't give up on the property. Be as safe as you can be.
Even if she had four walls I’m not sure it would be safe now, that remote.
Team find new property. And don’t talk about it ol.
A HOUSE , does not stop the crazies. and there are many crazies out there.
She acts as if she doesn't know this when is so obvious. And people always cheering on her lack of any safety is so sad and scary.
@@ernestodeltoro4535indeed!
Be careful when you post things that show road signs, location signs ( like in todays video when you parked your car, there was a sign). There are so many people and devices out there that can figure out where you are based on those little things. Posting once you leave is great, but even if you drive 50 miles away from your land and then post something with a road sign, etc, you are narrowing the field for someone to find you. Be safe!
@@amy4484 get to big dogs from the shelter, win win for all of you ❤️
I thought the same thing when she drove to her safer place for the night, you could see a distinctive sign in the background. Now this safe space is not safe to use again. 😕
Not just road signs. Even the surrounding hillsides can be geolocated.
it is fairly easy to find out locations even without a sign. In Eva's case i guess a 5min search, maximum, its fairly easy to find (wont say how here, of course). When wild camping one should keep its location secret, Eva is doing the opposite here, just saying objectively. Such events are to be foreseen; there always are a few weird people when talking to a bigger audience, and thats unfortunately enough for trouble.
Especially in Poland, almost all people are very fine and awesome, but there are a few weirdo+drunks out there.
@@mountainmoments every country has its weirdoes, but what i see a a kinda naive woman, not very aware of some realities, she needs to prepare herself better and yes sadly sharing your things with the world can have its consequences too.
I am the daughter of a mom who told me she survived an attack by a serial killer when she was younger. She was very cautious around me growing up and I have a few inherited extra senses about safety and I really hope you take this seriously. When the shock of what happens wears off, don't fall into the trap of humanizing a stalker as someone who will see common sense with a restraining order or feel bad and eventually stop. They're insane / unhinged / dangerous. Be grateful you can be angry because you're alive. You need to take extreme precautions, yes, you are strong & independent, but you are also an attractive single female who settled in an isolated location. Even just saying it was the Carpathians in Poland was too much information. I'd go as far to say you should have lied even about the country you settled in to help secure your privacy. Also I wouldn't film skylines or mountain ridge lines around your property. I feel the only way you can maximize security is by filming months in advance, and straight up lie about where you are if you do ever show a static property. I personally am terrified that you'll want to tough it out and stay. I would leave and not come back to that place, no matter the frustration of leaving. Your safety is no. 1 priority. Finally, I am so sorry you experienced this, remember never ignore your gut instinct.
@@crunyon1716 great advice
Well said. There's a book by an ex detective called " The gift of fear" every woman should read it, it could save your life.
👍🙏🕊️
I am so sorry that this is happening to you! This very situation happens to women all around the world. Myself included and it is terrifying. Be safe ladies ❤
@@crunyon1716 I can identify may locations in the Western US by skyline or panoramic pictures. Someone in your area can do the same
Dont blur his face. If he is stalking you or if he was just a harmless visitor, let the world know. He came onto your property.
showing the face of every creep that does this stuff is just free attention and notoriety for them, unfortunately…it feeds it
@hitashya i dont believe in keeping creeps secret. Thats how the abuse continues
@@wonder12374well believe is irrelevant in this matter as a real life is in danger. What your believe should factor in is when you film and put a creep unmasked on the internet, he could face repercussions in his own life which in turn could anger him and endanger you even more. He knows where you live after all. When Eva turns up dead on her land, what good is your believe then? Does it then turn to, ups was not the smartest decision in retrospect?!?! It is my believe that it would.
" _ If he is stalking you or if he was just a harmless visitor_ "
So which is it? If he's a harmless visitor, then he's being accused of being a stalker for all the world to see. Not good, and with possible legal ramifications. As for private property, was there any way this person, if a harmless visitor, could know this? How does private property work in Poland with regard to fencing/posting, and the laws (if any) of trespass?
@istvanglock7445 he said I've found you I've been looking for you....she doesn't know him
How harmless does that sound to you?
There is not an expectation of privacy in the woods.
I am a nature lover who stopped going anywhere near the woods after getting followed by a particularly scary man. I thought I was completely alone but was being stalked. I have not went out much since. I feel for you Eva, it's not nice when evil people take away the one thing that they love from you. So sorry this had happened to you.
It might be worth asking someone to search the dark web for your name. The fact that 2 different creeps showed up probably means there are chat rooms where they discuss your whereabouts.
This is honestly so terrifying to think about.
Awful to have to think this. Possible though.
What an awful thought 😳
My daughter now 28 was attacked by 4 guys, in their early 20's, that tracked her down when she was 19 and thank god my son, 17 at the time was there. She got scrapes, a torn shirt, but nothing else. When my son attacked, he was hoping someone else or a few would help him, no one did. He ended up breaking a few bones in each of them, gouging out eyes and anything just to survive attacking 4 bigger, stronger men. They had hospital stays, and he was treated and released. After she got divorced later, she moved in with both my sons on a farm in Bavaria that I bought for them along with a trained guard dog for her. That still bothers her today and she will be taking the first bar exam to be a lawyer in Germany very soon.
Woo, your son is awesome. I survived an attempted murder in a truck stop bathroom and all I had was a tooth brush. Those moments deciding whether I was going to stab her in the eye or above the eye are still surreal to me. I choose above the eye and that was my last chance, she almost strangled me. Next time I'll be making a different decision.
Best to your children. Glad they made it out alive. 🙏🕊️
We need more men like you and your sons in this World. You have my respect for raising a fine young man, also for helping your daughter feel safe. Much respect to you!
I understand where she is coming from. In 1975 on my 21st birthday I was jumped by 4 guys. Fortunately I was with a very good friend and he helped out. And thankfully the biggest guy, the leader, came to close and God said to me YOU BETTER FIGHT! Well, the big guy gave me an opportunity for 6 to 10 Good shots to his head. BUT - I never went back there. Everywhere I went for a long time I was very aware, maybe a little scared.. and I was a tough guy. Even today, now that things are so much worse out there, I realize that at 70 yr old, I cannot protect my family as I once could. It's a little concerning for me.
@@lulumoon6942 He went into it not expecting to make it out, just to by time. That is a hard decision to make and he did it, but adrenaline and training kicked in. The nasty, underhanded, vicious and mean training. Stuff you do not practice, just talk about the unwinnable situation.
Eva, I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I’m a retired Police Officer and old enough to be your grandfather. I have experienced several instances of young men becoming fixated on women not known to them. It seldom ends well. Your safety is paramount and you did exactly the right thing in getting out of there. Please reconsider EVER going back. If one person can find you, then so can others. I’m not trying to scare you, but it’s the simple truth. Stay safe.
What you say is true, I really agree with it.
Don't think it's only men doing this i have a friend who's life almost got ruined by a women behaving like this.
@@EyefyourGfthat’s obviously not what he said? yes there are delusional women out there, but they 80% of the time will not physically hurt you. men, on then other hand, will kill you without a second thought because you don’t feed into their delusions.
@@EyefyourGf that may be true but your comment does nothing to address the situation. In Eva’s situation, it is a man chasing her, and we are all too familiar with how many of these cases end.
Sorry this is happening. I feel your fear. This is what so many women go through. We have to reconstruct our lives just to be safe. Change our routes, leave early or leave later, go to different laundries, change grocery stores, at the extreme we change jobs or get displaced from our homes. Something most men will never even be aware of having to live like this. Stay safe and be hyper aware Those men are extreme in their actions. Be very careful. I love your channel and would absolutely hate that anyone should destroy your freedom and security. This is so upsetting to see it happening to you. Please protect yourself.
Eva, something you need to understand about stalkers. They actually get off on your distress and tears. It makes their day to know they have succeeded rattling your cage. It is like their fuel. Don't give that to them. It just makes want to come back for more. Also, restraining orders won't protect your life. They are just a piece of paper to the unhinged.
That makes sense.
Agree, won't go in details, but restraining orders are totally worthless !
Very good advice.
Negative attention is unfortunately in this kind of situation also a form of attention for them. Don’t give it to them, otherwise they’ll continue..
There are no manipulators/aggressors/violent people without victims... there are people who either like to play the victim or are too innocent...
I'm a man and was stalked on by someone in a bathroom one time, the total sickening and fear I had in my stomach was the first time I've EVER felt that as a man. Then it dawned on me, oh wow, this is what women experience almost regularly.
It happened to me only once in my life, but I imagine it is way way more common for women to experience this more than once.
Scary thing is we are most likely to be killed by our partners. Yes, there are bad men out there, but the one next to us can turn as well. And if youre a woman and know the statistics, those numbers never leave your mind. Because the others didn't expect it either.
were you having your period at the time
We experience it a lot like pretty much anytime we’re around large groups or intoxicated people it’s happens all the time. It sucks
I’m sorry, stalked in a bathroom? I feel like I need more information
"...this is what women experience almost regularly." Seriously, dude-do you even know the definition of regular?
Hi Eva! You need another
property to live on, keep it secret, never film on it, a property where you have direct car access and camp in your car ready to go. Never show your emotions especially fear because this may trigger psychos, they enjoy it. Nobody should know where you are or where you will go. Post weeks later after you left a location. We understand. ❤ Thank you for sharing. A big lesson for all women who are hiking and camping, thank you!
THIS
Thank lord Jesus for $75k that biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!🙏❤️
I'm feeling really motivated. Could you share some details about the biweekly topic you brought up?
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Mary Elizabeth Webb.
WOW I know her too! Miss Ms Mary Elizabeth Webb is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
Dear men,
When I was in Madeira I wanted to hike around the island in one week. Staring the hike from a small village I had to go through the town first to get to the beginning of the trail. Walking past a cafe I remembered a man turning his head as I walked past, we never made eye contact. 15 minutes later, struggling to walk uphill with my backpack I heard a car pull up and slow down to drive beside me. It was the same man. He invited me for a coffee - I politely declined. He continued driving beside me, following me, offering a ride, food and accommodation for 20 minutes while I went on explaining that I’m here to hike and camp and I’m not looking for company. The only reason he stopped was the road turning into a thin mountain trail. Yet the ghost of him stayed with me for a week. For 7 days I’d ask myself, why had I told that man that I’m camping here alone? I’d turn my head, fully expecting him to follow me. Every branch cracking was a sign of him approaching me. I was pissed. Because my peaceful walk suddenly turned into a hunting scenario where I was pray. For a week, wherever I’d camp, walk or rest I’d look around frantically. Because of one man.
Dear men, please leave us alone. Whether you mean well or want to try your chances in romance, there’s about 0,000001% chance you’ll succeed and a 100% chance you’re gonna scare the girl you approached. For days. Let us be, we’ll be fine without you.
Chill you ain't special
Not sure if it’s been said or mentioned, but please check your car for AirTags, they’re so small and easy for stalkers to use!! Stay safe Eva❤️❤️
The genie is out of the bottle now, and hindsight is 20/20. But in this video alone, your car's license plate is showing and isn't blurred out. There are geotracking groups that can see just a snippet of forest or a ridgeline of a mountain range, and can pinpoint that exact location, anywhere in the world. The beautiful view from your property you've been sharing on your channel is enough for people to pinpoint your exact location. The world shouldn't be this way, but it is. You have almost two million subscribers, and that doesn't count viewers who aren't subscribed. I hate to tell you this, but you have to stop sharing so much of your life. It sucks, and it's NOT YOUR FAULT, but that is reality.
A European license plate says literally zero. It's not the US where all your data is public for anyone to look up. The European Union has very strict privacy laws.
@@lidewijvos That's good to know; I wish it was that way in the U.S. But still, if a stalker or someone is in her area and looking for her specific car, they know her license plate number.
Well said. Many single woman have been victimized by this kind of male delusional thinking. Women need to be aware of the dangers of fame and especially the loss of their privacy.
@@lidewijvos In Poland, when you buy a car from another city or even from the one you live in, you can even keep the old registration. Only from police records or at the office you can find information about who owns the car. It’s not that simple.
@@ksmith9715 I agree. Thanks to the internet, we are living in dangerous times. But I feel these content creators are not going to stop sharing their lives. So, they have to weigh the pros and con of the their decision. Now I hope that she starts to change a few things about her channel. I don't know what she can do, accept posting less, sharing less. Stay safe. 💯
I appreciate the exciting potential of your new property and the vision you have for it. However, I believe it would be prudent to reconsider the idea of staying alone in a tent in such a remote mountain area.
Before making it your permanent residence, I think it would be smart to focus on building a proper house and establishing a reliable road that connects you to civilization. And of course, implementing various security measures that would enhance your safety.
As someone with combat training, a firearm, and experience as a former soldier, even I would hesitate to camp alone in an isolated location given the realities we face in today’s world.
Your safety, as well as Vilk's, is paramount. Please prioritize your well-being and hold off on camping there until you've developed a more secure environment with all necessary precautions in place.
Stay safe Eva!
You should look into bunkies. They are pre-built cabins and they drop off the material and you build it yourself.
I camp alone, at 79 and in my younger years I hiked alone, 7--10 miles at a time. But Idaho mountain country is a lot different than most places. I live alone, but neighbors are close, 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile away and my nearest grocery store is 8 miles away and my nearest Costco is 2 driving hours away on a two-lane road. All places can be dangerous, but I think Idaho mountains are some of the safest. Maybe Eva can move to the States where she wanted to live but real estate is too high, now.
My mom left her country in her early 20s in 1959 .. for Greenland .. she had a rifle to keep men away from her tiny house .. she's 91 now and have moved back to Denmark 30 years ago .. I have a daughter now in her early 20s and she's already been in South Korea alone when she was barely 17 .. strong as her grandma' - My daughter has the same straits as my mom who went through so much in the Arctic and taking care of me and my 2 younger siblings .. You're strong and intelligent enough to follow your intuition .. trust it and you will be ok - This World are full of psycho's.
never seen that on youtube guess it could be set up to see a vid of real happening .titel , woman shows rifle to stop romantic man near her house
Eva, you may or may not know the meaning behind the word "retreat." When the word "retreat" was called out on the battlefield, I thought it meant to run, flee, and give up. But it actually meant for those on the battlefield to get to a safe place, patch up the wounded, regroup, and rethink their strategy. This is the smartest thing to do when faced with an overwhelming situation. It shows strength, which is what you are doing right now. You are a strong woman, Eva, and it shows in many of your videos. Even in showing your vulnerability, that is strength.
Being an empath, watching this brought tears to my eyes. Being on the other side of the world and wanting to help in some way was challenging, so I prayed to my higher power for you. Now, it's time to let go. You are a smart woman with a network of people to reach out to when you need to. And I'm sure retreating will bring you and Vilk an exciting new adventure. Much love from Australia. ❤
This is a very intelligent comment!! Great advice. I really hope Eva sees this one.
_Tactical withdrawal._
@brucemistelske8813 Thank you! 😊 I hope so, too.
@@dancarter482 indeed!
This is so so soooo sad. And even worse, it’s a sad reality. I’ve had people track me down in other countries also. (With zero malicious intent) but still. It’s not a comforting feeling. As a solo traveler also, the struggle of creating and not sharing too much about your whereabouts is such a fine line. You made the right choice to leave. Thank you for making this video and bringing awareness to how absolutely unacceptable their behavior is. ❤
FWIW an associate was doing a round the world motorcycle adventure trip and blogging it , although he was ntot grifting for cash, just a blog.
He found the bulk of the people he passed by to be kind & helpful .
Even more so after some one worked out where he was , beat him up & stole his bike & all of his belongings .
So not they get posted 6 months after he has done each leg .
The person most responsible for your safety is you .
Itchy Boots had the same problem. She works months ahead now and no one knows where she is at any moment. Any presence on the internet, let alone on UA-cam, makes one vulnerable. There are choices to be made unfortunately. Good luck
A few years ago Jonna Jinton had someone was coming to her property also.
Veela (singer) the same
Noraly is really way more thoughtful and well planned and has a very methodic way. I don't know when she started it, but she definetly starts posting way after she has been through somewhere. And even at her beginning, she was not in the same area for more than a few days if she was not absolutely pinned there for some reason
She also has pre-arranged contacts in case something goes awry, GPS locators, SOS beacons with her etc.
Noraly (Itchy Boots) hardly stays alone in the wilderness. She always stays over the night at a planned and trusted place. Surrounded by solid walls.
@@frankrault3190 She even went so far to find a German mechanic who can build an old analogue bike from scratch, with next to infinite supply of parts, in case she needs one, build a Tenerife from scratch and modified so that she can stay mobile and least amount of malfunctions, sensor problems, electronic issues etc.
One of the big reasons, I am sure that although she doesn't expose herself in the night, she still did not want to be stuck somewhere for prolongued time because, when you pass through, you're just a phantom, but if you are there for weeks, waiting for shipped parts, it might draw attention from a lot of people because she sticks out a lot in places she visits.
The main idea is to be as mobile as possible, yes. But I'm dead certain the other thing is, she's been in unnerving situations and wants to avoid being stricken anywhere as much as possible
I hope that things work out for you Eva. I was stalked by someone in my martial arts dojo. It came to a point he followed me on my way home good thing I sensed this before I left the parking lot and I ended up hiding under a car till he was gone. Then he would send me suicide threats that if I didn’t go out with him he would kill himself. My best friend died of suicide just a year prior to my experience so I asked the elders in my martial arts dojo to intervene. Turned out he was doing this to a number of other young women in our dojo. Anyway, the elders intervened and spoke to his parents and I left the dojo for another one. If you could sleep on a friend’s couch and change your patterns for a while would be good maybe also do delayed posts on your channel i.e. post stuff from a month back… so people do not know real time where you are. God bless your beautiful soul. May you be protected always in all your travels and endeavours. Leaving is a smart thing to do for now and not giving up. It’s proper risk management as your friend said. Maybe blur signposts that can reveal where you are? Take care.
Living in Northern California, I am used to camping with plenty of wildlife. I love animals. Bears, mountain lions, snakes, coyotes, etc do not scare me at all. It is the human species that terrify me.
ive never heard of anyone not scared of mountain lions let alone loving them
I agree but it makes me so sad.
Living in Idaho, I car camp a lot usually only a couple days at a time. I see very few people. I few weeks ago I came across a cow camp. Public land is used by cattlemen a lot to graze their stock, I first went through their cow camp and then met them further on. I enjoyed talking to the nearly 6-foot driver of a pickup. The group was heading for winter camp at lower elevations. This person mentioned that the group had killed 40 rattlesnakes the previous winter. I'm glad she was friendly because she wasn't someone to be trifled with, but I enjoyed my visit and directions.
Even with good maps and a hand held GPS, traveling in my region is still hard. I got lost trying to go on gravel and dirt roads back to my home but luckily an old guy in a utility truck helped me. I'm also well trained with firearms, but I'm not a mechanic, so if I break down I might have to walk home 50 miles and my arthritic joints don't do well. I only travel, usually in my county which is the 18th largest U.S. county with only 17,000 people but no one lives on back country public land, so I rarely see anyone.
Just stop it. It’s a dangerous and stupid myth to perpetuate. In Romania the government official data shows that in the last 20 years 27 tourists and villagers were killed by the carpathian bears and 274 people were disfigured!
Well, I do love mountain lions, camped solo around them, woke up to two wild lions fighting near my tent in California and had worked with these kitties, and Im a woman. So now you heard of one, son. They are much more harmless than dogs
There’s some people who are so lonely they start to think UA-camrs and celebs are their friends and want them. For all the crazies out there are thousands of real fans that appreciate you and want to see you happy and healthy.❤️

Wow that was really lucky that your camera happened to be right on the spot that went with your story. Good luck with your transition to Nat Geo.
Brave to share this! What a terrifying experience. On your own land! I hike, camp and vanlife a lot alone as well. Writing this from my van in the wild (Europe). All I can hear are birds, but each car passing by makes me extra alert. It’s how it is. Like you, I have my own safety rituals: a weapon by my bed, car keys and a charged phone within reach, never share a live location with the internet, but I always let someone know where I am, and always park in a way that let me drive away, and I try to never arrive in the dark. And I have a dog:) My most terrifying experience was someone knocking on my van in the middle of the night, pretending he was a female police officer. I saw him coming, the recording being played, and didn't open of course. Waited forever for him to leave. And then I also drove away. Shakey. And one time someone, either super drunk or drugged told me to move but I had a flat tire and couldn’t go anywhere. I rang the police. Thank god we have dogs!
It’s unsettling not to know the intentions and what intoxicated and mental unstable people could potentially be up to. And yet, despite these moments, I feel much safer in the wild than in cities and busy zones.
Take some good time reassessing. I’ve been struggling getting into making videos, for which a big reason is less privacy. But also courage and priorities I guess. You inspire me to show up more in the youtube thing. And you encourage sooo many people, especially women I believe to get out there and be wild! I hope you find a way to continue that doesn’t sacrifice the freedom and peace of mind you need. Always follow your instinct. Sending love, care, and solidarity from a fellow adventure sister. ❤
You sound very foolish. Enjoy your "freedom"
I am sorry this is happening to you. Bear spray works wonders I am in Mississippi where most women who live alone own a gun. I hope you are given peace
i live in a small town in ok. i would bet at least 95% of the women are carrying a pistol all the time.
My daughter's stalker caught her leaving her apartment to go to work late one night. He violently assaulted her and held her hostage for hours. She was unrecognizable after the attack. That was 7.5 years ago and she still suffers from horrible PTSD. As a mother, it was the worst thing I ever experienced as a parent.
God thats so awful.
I hope she can or has found a group for therapy that is helpful.

Prayers for (both of your) continued healing. 🙏🌻
I am sad for you both.

Eva, You put yourself out here month after month, sharing your innermost thoughts, knowledge, triumphs and failures, your wit/charm, your adventurous spirit, your courage, etc. You are beautiful in so many ways and you live a life of peaceful solitude YOUR way. You have sought meaning in your life for what matters to you. All those things and more are all reasons why people may seek you out. I don't think it's right at all, but people are going to do this if you put yourself out there in such a public way. It's a huge attraction to people to live their lives vicariously through you, because you seem like such a happy person who has life all figured out. People are going to venerate you. Some may also see it as a challenge, like Geo-Caching. The bottom line is you need to protect yourself. Get some German Shepherd dogs who are trained to guard the pack. Put up signs warning others they will be shot. Maybe put up a fence. I know these things are not who you are and it goes against every manner in which you interact with people, but the bottom line is people will continue to seek you out as long as you continue to put yourself out there. It's a sad choice to have to choose between living in fear or not sharing all the things in your life with others. No, it's not fair, and again, I don't think it's right that people are doing this to you at all, but the world is full of lots of different people, all with varying degrees of empathy, trust, loyalty, honesty, obsession, jealously, motives, etc. etc. etc. I'm hoping this isn't the end of your channel, as I have enjoyed your musings on life and what it means to enjoy the time we all have here together on this planet. I enjoy watching your journey and I hope you continue to have your peace and safety to live without fear.
Your courage is impressive, as is your resolve. You certainly don't deserve to live with that anxiety. I hope things get better. Put your privacy and safety at the top of the list. Best of luck to you.
I escaped my kidnapper. I solo camp as therapy. You need to add lights outside & away from your tent close to the tree line so you can actually see what’s going on out there after dark. All you’re currently doing is lighting up yourself after dark so someone could sit in those woods & watch you, but you’d never see them. THIS IS WHY WE CARRY OUR PEW PEWS as well, along with mace & bear spray.
I camp in state parks in the fall & winter when I’m likely the only camper. My state doesn’t have blm land to camp on. But even with that I’ve gotten a bad gut feeling & packed up to leave as soon as I got set up. I take men’s sized 13 shoes that stay outside the tent, I bring an extra smaller tent & extra chairs to look like I’m not alone. I also got a German shepherd, Labrador & a Labrador/Malinois mix who accompany me now as well. Stay safe out there & ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Oh, and try to leave in daylight when at all possible. Don’t stop for a cup of anything, just get out!
I love the idea of making it look like you are not alone! Good thinking. Unfortunately, she has to pack all of that in but might be well worth it. Also, we all know the creepers are reading this now.
I thought the same thing when she put the heater outside the tent in the last video. The smoke could be used to indicate where she was.
Brilliant information. Stay safe! 🦋
Permanently lighting up the wilderness is not a good idea, for people or wildlife. There are plenty of low light cameras available that should give plenty bright pictures if there is enough light for a human to traverse the terrain. (Infrared lighting is an option but relatively easy to detect with cheap equipment so nothing that will deter the determined).
@@notsonominal Motion-activated lights could be part of the answer. Not a full solution on their own, but as one of the pieces of the puzzle.
I think the best option, though, is probably to relocate and then be much more careful about revealing information about the new location.

It's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Evelyn Vera. for years and highly recommend her I focus on him. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
I would really love to know how much work you did put in to get to this stage.

Why can’t women just be left alone in PEACE? Why must we always, always have to factor potential male aggressors into the equation, when we do the things we want to do in this world? Like we aren’t entitled to joy or peace even on our own private land. I’m so sorry this happened to you, and I understand how terrifying this must be.
because they are physically stronger and have dominated the female body for centuries. But that doesn't mean all of them are agressors - it just is dangerous for women on their own
I’m sorry for the sorry state of the world…especially with a “certain president-elect” setting up the worst example for men all over the world to see and “follow”.
@@hcbevin3234 I agree with you 100%. It's concerning now that the trump cult creeps will feel empowered that it's "okay" or that they won't get prosecuted, just like he gets away with everything. Be careful ladies. We need to protect each other. 🦋
this isn't a woman only thing, a man can get killed while traveling as well, happened plenty of times, truth is people in general aren't left alone by other people, humans worst predator and enemy is another human and we're worlds apex predators in general.
@Angleka I know exactly what you mean. Had it been a man's channel the odds would have been definitely lower to find an intruder so comfortable to invade such a private sacred space like someone's HOME.
I want to SCREAM and RAGE for you, Eva. I am furious that after so much work to get your own home you do not feel safe. Because you legitimately are not safe. I am FURIOUS for these disgusting men who think this is okay.
@@Erin-S you Can meet sick women too....don t you réalisé thé World WE live in?

@@Creamyson When I was at University and in High School, I had a habit of finding the crazies. My dating life was literally me throwing darts at the crazy-hot matrix, but filtered for only girls greater than 9 on the crazy scale.
@@johnmatthews4717Stupid man. How would you like it if a complete stranger showed up on your land because they had been looking for you? That's her HOME. Private property.
I'm going to be blunt. He knows where you are and you have to assume he will be back. Next, if he found you, surely other people can as well. You have to prepare for that. Even if he gets arrested and never comes back, someone else could find you the same way he did. Relocating, perhaps with the help of professionals, is unfortunately your safest bet. No amount of locked doors and security cameras can protect you from a committed stalker. The alternative is armed security. I'm not going to lie to you or downplay the situation like others might. This is serious you need to act. Don't be afraid, but be realistic and aware.
No, but a gun, bear spray, pepper spray, self-defense classes are the best chance of stopping stalkers. Woman or man, you need to be able to defend yourself anywhere if travelling alone or living off the grid. It is the sad reality, unfortunately.
we are not allowed to defend ourselves in Europe we can’t own guns for protection against human aggressors or wild animals and the right to private property is also a joke in Europe compared to America
@@cherylp3710 remember there are countries outside US, so no guns. I’m glad we don’t have guns because this guy could have been trigger happy if he felt rejected by her. Crazy people out there
She's a social media influencer. Even if she kept moving contantly and only posted one month in the past, it would always be possible to find her.
@@boredom3646 You can get permit for carry in Poland and it's not hard. Problem would be no safe in solid structure in the tent. I think it's still required.
My prayers to you as you figure out the next right steps. When you're a public person (I'm one too) you are vulnerable to others who have unsavory intentions. We protect ourselves many different ways but the most important one is being in community with others. We can look out for each other and show when someone needs protection. Think about that idea in your planning process. Be well, Eva!
That's absolutely terrifying! It's scary to think there are people out there who would act this way. I noticed you may have inadvertently shared information about your location when you mentioned the B&B near your property. My wife and I, who live in Krakow, actually looked up the B&B hoping to visit someday - but this makes me realize that someone with malicious intent could have done the same thing.
I'm so sorry you're going through this unsettling experience. Please know you have our complete support and are in our thoughts. ❤️
I thought the B&B was was standard for 'bed and breakfast', so that could be anyplace,,,it is the actual name there by where she is?
Oops
@@mannybravo237 yes name of her friends place is in the earlier videos
Exactly this. I noticed this too and commented then out of worry that something like this could happen in the future. People can do a lot of stuff with just close by landmarks like that one.
@@krewetkaaaa i heard her say that in her previous vlog, and thought the 'b&b' was as if saying, "the market's close by.", without disclosing the exact location, since bed and breakfast houses are all over. Terrible security breach
This is fucking tragic. People do not understand boundaries.
Many of the people who do this kind of thing are not mentally stable, thus boundaries don’t matter much.
it's worse...this fu@%er don't CARE about boundaries
There are 3 stages 1. they don't care, 2. they search maybe locate, but would never visit or approach, and then 3. there are these creeps who really cross the line!
Calm down sir, there is no stalker, she does it for the views. Don't believe everything the world puts on the internet.
@@annca 🥱
as a very recent victim of stalking, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It has ruined my life. I cannot sleep without a gun in the room because I'm afraid to hear that break of glass in the night. Spent hundreds on security cameras. Considering leaving the area. I hope your situation isn't as bad as mine. Leaving is not 'giving up'. It's preserving your mental health. And I'll just say in my situation, I refused to give into the fear, but the situation just got worse until this whackjob eventually tried to light my house on fire while I was inside.
Isn't it terrible that us women cannot enjoy our peace without a man intimidating and scaring us. Unfortunately to be safe, we have to do what feels safe and if that means taking yourself off the land for a while, then that's what has to be done. Time for you to regroup and think. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Sending you a huge hug ❤
I have seen your video, and I just want to say that this is not fair. No one should have to go through what you are experiencing. I am truly sorry for what you are going through and sending you all my strength and warmth.
I'm a 48 year old man and I live in a rural location. It is common around here to wave at passing cars or pedestrians who are out walking. Recently I noticed that woman more often than not don't wave, especially when they are on their own. I wondered why this was the case, and then it dawned on me that if they wave at a man, then some men would think it was an invitation instead of just a greeting. I mentioned my observation to my sister and she was like well duh!, she said she was once followed around a supermarket because she smiled back at a guy.
Username checks out
Duh, indeed. Now think further: Women have to be alert at all times. We have to be suspicious of every situation where we encounter a man on our own because not just our personal experience but also history has shown what happens. All the time. Every single woman I know has made multiple experiences with scary men who tried something or succeeded. Imagine your privilege not having to live with that level of precaution at all times.
I think this is a really great opportunity for men to check their privileges.
Yep, that's the sad truth. I often like to be friendly to all people and also currently work in a customer service job. I am so sad to see how often it happens when a friendly smile or word or two is thought to be flirting 😕 I feel sorry and frustrated that women have to be careful even being friendly and for decent men who experience things like you or even worse, because of the stupid ones.
Also some men seem to think, that all women like being complimented on their body. I can tell to most it feels intrusive. Especially at swimming hall or such 🤮
I am glad you know why this is happening, that in many cases the women aren't just being rude.
Have to add that most men are still decent. So I still continue to be friendly and try act cooler with creepy ones
@@magma7961 No, this person deliberately sought her out in a remote area. I think his intentions were questionable, to say the least.
That is absolutely terrifying. I am so sorry you are going through this..
How the CAMERA knew the exact location the "Creepers" were going to Walk by?? And, if he went there to "hunt" her down and "hurt" her, how come he didn't do it when he had the Chance and just let her Walk away that easily?? And, did she announce on her show the exact LOCATION where she was for him to know which way to go to find her?? Like she said!!
Hi Eva,
If he seems to always know where you are: He could had put a GPS tracker in something you own, e.g. car, luggage.
Apple's AirTag is also something to be aware of. There're are apps who can tell you if something, e.g. An AirTag or something like it, is tracking you.
Good advice. He could have put a GPS tracker on your truck also. Have it throughly checked out to clear it from tracking devices. It might be a good idea to change your phone and phone #. It could have been hacked and now be tracking. So sad that this has been your new reality. I'm truly sorry.
@@charonstyxferryman My thoughts exactly. My ex put a GPS tracker beneath my car last year. Also, why why why did she displayed her car plate for the world to see here?
Jesus...if that's one way of how he found her location, then there's definitely a possibility that he had other intentions. If his excuse were "I just wanted to hangout", its probably just a fake excuse cause no one who just wants to "hang out" is gonna stalk someone by finding their location using a gps tracker unless they wanted to act on their other motives
Android phones have a tracker scanner built in, go to settings, and search "unknown tracker alerts" enable it and it can scan automatically, but there's also a manual scan that allows you to pinpoint a tracker... in my job were supposed to scan our company vehicles to protect ourselves... I imagine it's also in European phones...
I really hope she sees this comment
Yes Eva I will be polite ❤️ what your are experiencing is really sad…..I’m in Canada and and being 66 years old, I love following your videos….being public and doing what you love, these people doing this to you is not what you were doing this for . Hope this will change. Fallowing you inspires a lot of people around the world….DON'T STOP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.

I don't know who you've been studying acting with but I'd switch.
Oh lovely, i am a mum of 5 girls, a grandma, and my heart goes out to you it is sooooo wrong. I cried seeing you cry , your honesty and vulnerability are felt deeply.
God i am angry
You are strong , beautiful,intelligent you are amazing , dont give up for men , then they have won ! Adopt big shepherd dogs and electric fences and maybe woofas (young folk working for board and lodgings)on the edge of your land living in a caravan in exchnge with security and dog sitting.

Ohh! I didn't know you had studied drama.
Wasp spray, 27 feet of continuous spray in the face, they will wish they hadn’t… get many cans and cart one . more cameras too.
I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. It would be a loss to us if you discontinued your journey, you are such an inspiration - don’t let them take this from you. Fight back in whatever way you can. It’s outrageous and terrifying! Not staying there until you have the camp secured is not giving up , your being wise.
Praying a circle of protection around you! ❤
You are so brave 🌸
Wasp spray is good but most cans are fairly large. More practical would be to have pepper spray that contains indicator dye so authorities can positively identify the perpetrator. Most pepper sprays easily fit on a Keychain or EDC carry.
Thanks for showing us that nothing is ever perfect.
I'm a czech fifteen year old with great aspirations for my future, and it is amazing to know that people like you exist. People who are honest, fair and stay true to themselves. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Love from Brno, Doubravka ❤
That's so terrifying. I can't imagine being able to sleep with what's going on - you would feel exposed. You are brave and strong and making good decisions.
As a combat Marine, I too, choose the effing bear.
Eva, if you intend to use a knife as a self defense weapon, please get yourself the proper training, or get training with Mace or another similar pepper spray. Better yet, get a comprehensive course on self-defense for women. You are an independent, often solo adventurer. Situations like this, unfortunately, could happen again. Such courses also give you training in how to assess someone approaching you, teach about cover and concealment, escaping holds someone may have on you, and much much more. They're worth doing for peace of mind as you adventure through the world.
Americans are different but I don't know anyone who would live that remotely without a gun. I'd have a shotgun or rifle plus a side arm to carry. Protection from animals and that includes the men who are hunting you down. Women have a right to feel safe anywhere but that isn't the real world we live in. Get a gun and take gun safety classes so that you learn how to be a responsible gun owner. Don't let it be known that you have taken these steps. Then go back to your land secretedly and protect yourself and your land. It is your right!
Pepper spray is illegal in a lot of European countries
I really hope she reads your comment. She doesn’t hold a knife like she could defend herself. I would have grabbed ax. I grew up with guns but still learned some basic techniques for when I’m unarmed.
good advice
You don't use knife for defense. If it gets into attackers hand you are dead.
Parasocial relationships are scary, but these guys are even scarier. Hope these "fans" see the video and understand what they have done. And I really hope this does not encourage even other "fans" to set out to "save" you.

Check the windows for hand prints
🚨The Police should know. These stalkers might stalk other people and attack.
true but police generally can't protect you all the time just after the fact.
In the video she mentioned restraining orders. Police already knows.
Arm yourself…(if you can in your country) having Vilk isn’t enough for your protection. In America we have the 2nd Amendment:
“The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was ratified on December 15, 1791, along with nine other articles of the Bill of Rights. “
It should still be reported so there's a trail.

Cheering you on. Be safe!
This is so awful. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. My wife has a public profile too and we had a stalker. He tracked us around the world for 2 years, even shot at me with a rifle. His plan was to kill me so he could be with her. He was relentless. Things ended badly for him. But the impact of his actions scarred us for life, so we take precautions to this day:
1) Be alert at all times (unfortunate reality now - borderline OCD/PTSD for us)
2) We never give our address to anyone - we always use a post office box or UPS mailing address. We are VERY private.
3) We use aliases whenever we can filling out any forms because these databases will eventually get hacked
4) We never tell anyone where we are going or where we are until we have left that area/country
5) We do not allow strangers (contractors) into our house when she is in it and I watch them the whole time.
6) Never post images giving a clue where you live/what you drive etc.
7)Try to always have your dog (or two) or a friend with you.
8) Get help from mental health professionals - stalkers cause serious emotional damage from the stress.
Best wishes and love. I hope It all works out for you.
Eva. Something that UA-camrs probably do not realize is that when they disclose their journeys, their lives, their adventures, many viewers think that they are somewhat "frieds with" the youtuber. They think that they know you at a level which obviusly not. These men are only one of 1.3 million people following your channel. It goes for them beyond entertainment or information.
Yet. That is also the reason why OF took off. Lots of lonenly men sitting in their computers believing that somehow they have a "relationship" or friendship with a person on a screen.
Are these men just lonely? Sounds like they are unwell.
True that! There's a dark side to this UA-cam fame. Eva has become a sort of "public" figure at this point, which has a price. She reveals too much of her private life and whereabouts. Things always happen for a reason and there's a valuable lesson here for her. She's smart and she'll figure it out. When one door closes, another one opens.

@@sagittario5405 It’s the same in Sweden where I live, but that doesn’t give you the right to walk up to the person or their house uninvited and say “there you are, I’ve been looking for you”. That’s something completely different.

Eva, I am no one and I have been stalked in my lifetime 3 times. I wil say it again, I am no one. I live in the US and I own guns and know how to use them, and will if I need to. That is the only reason I feel safe at home in the mountains alone. I KNOW what you are feeling right now. I don't know what your laws are there or to what degree you would protect yourself. I only know what I can and will do at my own home. So many men in this world feel so entitled when it comes to women. They do not believe that women should have anything to say about the choices they make, even if that choice is to have you. Thier ego is so much bigger than thier brain, its pathetic. That is not to say that there are no good men, I know some of the best men in the world and I trust them whole heartedly. Please do not let a few bad ones wreck your dreams. Get tough. Check out what happened to Vanessa Blank. She has a YT channel and was stalked, even though she is married. Maybe talk to some people who have had these things happen and see what they did about it. In the end your safety is up to you. A restraining order is only a paper ultimately. I don't know what your options are for equalizers, but don't give up your dreams because of freaks. I also have bear spray, a taser, a nasty Rotwieler that hates people and the will to do whatever I need to so that no one hurts me. I hope you can figure this out and not quit what you do. You are a treasure to most of the world. Remember that, most of the world respects you.
what about your new president..he is one of those macho men, posting an image of that for young people to follow.
@wout123100
Wow. I had nothing to do with him, I haven't seen any image you say he posted, and Eva says she is in her early 30's being stalked. What does any of that have to do with a freak like trump?

Go to Washington gun law and you will see me call out trumps people all the time. We can have this conversation there if you want.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I had a stalker and had to buy a firearm at the recommendation of local police. Your safety is paramount. Don't ignore your instincts.... too many women have suffered unspeakably due to this behavior. I am now married to a cop and there are still days where the stalker haunts me.
I'm sorry to hear that your sense of security has been tested. I'm 60 years old and a woman. A sense of security is what we all want, but with the internet, UA-cam and TikTok are part of our lives. This is the first time I have watched your UA-cam channel. I see a beautiful and smart woman living her life to the fullest. Don't let these strange people scare you. Many famous women need to protect themselves with more security. Think about putting fencing along your properties and some larger dogs. Don't let fear win.
Thank you for sharing what’s going on with your life. You have the right to feel safe, and to be safe. If that means leaving the property for a while, to figure out what’s right for you at this point in your life, that’s 100% OK. You are not giving in to darkness, you are finding your light, and the right safety path for you.
If I may make a suggestion, moving forward - when making a video &/or share anything about where you live, don’t give any distinguishing information. The moment you told your audience what mountain range you were on, it was only a matter of time before crazy people found you. In the future, be as vague as you possibly can, for your safety. You’re well-being must always come first. Sending you positive energy, and wishing you the absolute best!
How come the CAMERA knew which path the "perpetrator" was going to take??
In my 20s and early 30s, I was heavily into hiker and camping. And depending on the time of year, you would meet the same people over and over on the trail or at a campground.
There were a lot of single women who did van-life, camping, and hiking by themselves. They would always tell us stories about men stalking them or just "incidentally" showing up at several campsites they were at.
There are some truly broken delusional individuals out there.
If shutting down your channel is what you have to do, I hate to see you go, but I understand why.
believe me , it's even worse if you meet a bear .

Instead, it's that we don't have a way to know *_which_* ones are until it's too late, and we fear that it would be our luck to meet that man in the woods.

Nothing excuses this kind of behavior.
That said, anyone who has aspirations of being a content creator should know this is the reality. When you make yourself a public commodity, people WILL seek you out like this... well-intentioned or not. It's not for everyone, and in fact it's very much not for most people who don't have the resources and know-how to keep themselves safe. Frankly, any amount of visibility on the internet can lead to this, increased visibility just makes it worse. So I really recommend that everyone think on such things carefully before getting into it. It's not nice, it's not fair, but it's reality.
I agree on this.
i agree , i left the same comment. after years of watching an influencer a person feels like they are a friend some don't realize that friendship is one sided the influencer doesn't know you from adam. putting your life on the web takes away any privacy you have and exposes you to everyone the good as well as the bad remember that .

I can't imagine this. Both of these psychos should be locked up. The real monsters are always human. So sad. stay strong and from a honest hardworking man this breaks my soul. You deserve the best and the sanctity of safety.
@RobsNeighbor look darling, your not cut out for this , crying and getting emotional about this shows your weak, pack it in find something else. I'm ex military.
@@brian-jv9bt you're, not "your"...and also, you're commenting in the wrong spot...and she's not weak, she's having a human response to being stalked by two separate crazy men.
@@brian-jv9bt stfu you absolute loser! nobody, and i mean NOBODY gives 2 shits if you are ex military. Which you definitely aren't btw
@@brian-jv9bt if u have seen some of her other videos you would know she is anything but weak.
@@Miss9830 he's right, you don't understand the definition of weak, running a marathon doesn't make you strong, and living alone in the woods does not make you strong nor smart, it just shows your ignorance to real life and the dangers you're putting yourself in. I can go on forever, but what she's doing is crazy and dangerous, crazies will kill people just for the fun of it and in a house, nevermind a tippy or a tent.
Sad that i knew something like this would happen eventually. Showing your location to millions of people on the internet unfortunately can attract all sorts of weirdos. Please stay safe out there
She wasn’t showing her location. I hike in Polish mountains quite regularly and I wouldn’t be able to tell where her land is just from watching Eva’s content. Let’s not put it on her that some psycho put in an effort to locate her.
Also sometimes you can be randomly wild-camping and that will still happen to you that someone will invade you sleeping arrea in the middle of the night just to toy with you. I had that happen to me. And i was not sharing anything. It’s just men being psychos because they feel like they’re entitled to it
@@ancymonek1984 it's a skill. look at geoguessr, it's an online game where you have to guess your location from just from a google street view picture. anyone can get good at it, and some people can guess the location of some landmark to within a few hundred metres just within a few seconds. and anyone obsessed with her like this, probably watches her channel and finds some little tidbits of info to piece together to get even more sure about the location. it shouldn't be on her to hide this info, but ultimately, it is.
@@ancymonek1984 When she parked for the night in this video you could see the trail sign and sometimes, those markers, as well as just a skyline or tree line are all stalkers need to find a location. It is not victim blaming, it is just a fact that you cannot disclose such details, especially as a woman.
There is a fun game online called GeoGuesser, you are dropped into a place on google maps and have to guess where you are. Many people are very very good at figuring out where they are by the tiniest of details in an image. So yes, someone could just look at a skyline and know where to find that location exactly.
I feel the same way, I am actually surprised this hasn't happened sooner. I actually have a hard time watching her videos because of how unsafe it all felt at times for me. This exprience now is terrifying but thankfully, she has been "lucky", she got away okay. That "luck" may not last. I have always been scared for her, I can't imagine now how scared she must then be.
@@ancymonek1984 ahum you are way out of contact with reality, its easy to find any location from just dronevids, that you cannot do it, shows your ignorance.
I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. As a father of a beautiful daughter I constantly think of her safety, that you do find these predators out there. I had a very frank talk with her not too long ago where by I first apologised that she and all women in the world have to face this adversity just because they are female. It disgusts me that men feel they have this right over women. Gave her the warnings like most parent do with their children about strangers and strange places, but one thing I have told her a few times now, if she finds herself in an unwanted situation, get out and if she can't, start screaming, start fighting with everything you have, to bite, scratch and kick and don't stop, that she not stop at all. Being submissive in that moment empowers the perpetrator and they feel that they now have the power over you. As a man, I pray that one day soon, women will regain their power, to walk without fear and live free as they choose. I pity the man who attempts to harm my daughter and or my wife, my life will mean nothing without them. So again, I do hope that you find peace and safety where ever you decide to lay your head. Much love
Cześć Pani Ewa… I’ve often wondered how a young woman like you can go out alone into the wilderness and feel safe and secure. It is brave of you, but your innocence and trusting personality is a liability. These incidents are a warning to you and young women like you that it’s highly dangerous to be out on your own, even in places where you feel comfortable such as Poland. If you choose to continue on your adventures, I’d highly recommend you find a trusting partner (as well as Wilk) to traverse the world more safely. Szeroki drogi and God bless!
“Women choose the bear, I’d choose the bear any day” that statement gave me goosebumps because of how real that is! I’m so sorry this has happened!
Ok, I'm probably behind the times and the new lingo but what does "women chose the bear" mean? 🤔 Just curious. Thanks!
I’d choose the bear too.
@@PeterTX-PL just google it dude. pretty funny :P
Most of you would not have any choice other than the bear. Saying all men are dangerous is just like saying all women are gold diggers.
That’s just a men hating view. Reality is that a bear would eat you. The world has plenty of troubled people in it. Male and female.
American woman here and I figured that was one of the reasons you left the US was maybe an issue such as this, but never thought you’d have that problem in your home country. You’ve been given some good advice by people here. I pray you are able to get your sense of peace back.
Hello American woman, stalking and others things happen outside of America :D
No the issue was the US was too expensive
She didn't report any trouble in the western US. Other than border patrol or bigfoot.
No, this didn't happen to her in the US. She regretfully gave up her dream of living in the US because of the high price of land in the Western states, which is where she wanted to be.
@@malloryjines5050 Eastern Europe is more dangerous for women than the US. I could tell you a few stories…
Im really sorry you experienced something like this. So scary. Who remembers that campaing asking women 'What would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours?' Shockingly the most common answer was ' walk around freely at night'. So true
Unfortunately , men are raised to be like this . I do not trust men either and I'm literally one of them . They are even worse in a group .
That's what I would do. I'm an extreme night owl, and I'd love to be able to walk around in the peaceful darkness without fear.
this is everything.
Eva I hope you’re in a safe place not just physically but mentally. Thinking and praying for your safety. 🩷🫶🫂
