Добавлен 20 ноя 2019
Welcome to Kathy's Great Big World! My name is Kathy and it's my dream to travel America, in a van, with a dog, living a free and simple life. Rolling down the highways, camping in the forests and sleeping underneath a sugar sky.....so here we go!!! This is the time...the time is now for dreams to come true and this channel is my journey. I am an over 55, solo female minimalist, traveling with my dog, River. We live full-time in a 1999 Ford Econoline Conversion Van and her name is "Alice". Ride along with us as we embrace all the beauty and challenges this "Great Big World" has to offer!

@@peskybobcat 🥭🥭
I agree when we take on a four legged love we have to do right by them. Not sure my heart can take another love but she may give me a sign in time. You will be on the road again when it’s right for you. Take care.
Loved your comment♥️..thanks Debbie!
❤
Hi Esta🖐
I sure like my 1999 E150 it’s a V6 I been staying in it up in the mountains to get through these heat advisories just remember altitude equals cool
@@peskybobcat I know thats right Bobcat!👍...stay cool😎...up in those mountains🗻...getting my van was worth going through this Texas heat!🤠🔥...Cmon Fall Ya'll!🍂🌾🍁
I’m an old hand at living like this
What a great new name. You’re so right…summer time is brutal. Come on cool weather. 😅
Thanks so much!✌️😊...Fall is near!!🍂🌾🍁🌽
Love the name …and love Alice…River too! 🤗
Thanks so much!🖐😊🐕...We are sending all the Love right back to you!🥰
Great vision.
It is a nice vision!...A vision of a better place to be!🌈
I just spent 2 weeks in Colorado at 8,000’ BLM with temps in the 70’s and afternoon showers…Bliss…but now back in NM with high 90’s. Glad I have a little apartment to wait it out! Fall will be here soon! Glad you are taking care to be smart about travel! I can see that River Loves the AC! 🐾🐾🐾👏👏👏🤗🚐🚐🚐🌈❤️
@@ruthaspen2076 Hey Ruth!!🖐 Sounds good in Colorado👍....I am sure there are pockets of cool temps in high elevations🏔...I look forward to my future days when I no longer have to work to live....though not in a hurry...enjoying each season in life. Enjoy this season Ruth....you've earned it!🌈😊
nice
@@larrylong9958 thanks!👍
I watched this earlier today but forgot to comment. Very cool! I have signal where I am tonight. I had a nice fire going but ran out of wood quickly. I bought a couple of little cabinets today and rearranged my van again lol it gets better each time..my bed got a new foam addition so it's finally comfy. It's the little things. 😂 I bought a screen tent for the bugs but I was silly and thought I could put it up alone hahaha not happening and my sister tried to help today but it takes more than 2. So it's dark now but her and her roomie are coming out to help me set it up after he gets off work. Gonna use our headlights lol. My new solar panel gave out on me so I've been without one for over a week sadly. The replacement arrived tomorrow. Only used it 2 weeks before it stopped working. I didn't know if it was the charge controller or the panel but neither worked. Sigh. It has sucked but I've managed to charge my fan battery at a nearby state park shelter house. I can swim.and shower there too for free. Love .y state park pass. Already paid for itself. Happy trails, friend!
Bummer about your solar panel👎...thank goodness for family!!❤️...my family has helped me so much in all my life's journey's...Unconditional Love❤️...all I can say is c'mon fall🍂...you my friend are in Nomad Boot Camp and you are kickin' butt!!👍🦁Roar!!!
@@Kathysgreatbigworld thank you, Kathy! Finally goty.screem tent up with some help earlier. Omg, so nice not to have insects flying around me while I watch some TV on my tablet. I got my solar panel too and have things charging. Doing without one made me realize I won't be able to use solar much here in the winter because there will be weeks we don't see the sun at all. I have a gas generator but no room for it so a cargo hitch may be needed for winter as well as a diesel heater. I'm getting there though. Buying ice sucks but I can deal with it for now. I won't need it in the winter hehehe
What in the whiteness is this!?
😁
I love it!!!
@@barbarafrazier8843 🥭👍😋
Sooo cool! I love it! 😍

Glad to see you again, Kathy! Exploring Arkansas in Autumn is a smart move. It'll be beautiful (& cooler!) then. Happy for you in your brand new camper van looking forward to your next awesome adventure! 🌻♥🚐♥🍁
Thanks for being here Celeste!😊🐕✌️...Arkansas in the fall🍂...sounds lovely.
I know what you are dealing with. It’s been five week since my beloved Bree has got her wings. My heart is still shattered. I don’t know if I can ever get another four legged love. I would keep the channel but change name. I’m sure you will be full of adventures down the road. Take care.
@@debbiedusterhoft2870 Thank you Debbie for your kind words🐕❤️...and I am taking your advice...same great channel 🎬😊🐕...with a cool new name👍Take care!

Just spent 30 mins struggling with this tent!!! Should’ve came here first. Thank you for this 💖💖💖 signed a fellow lady camper on her first solo camping trip😊
Hello fellow Solo Female Camper!👋...so glad my video helped out with your Skydome set up!👍..Happy Camping and stay safe!✌️😊
Beenie weenies! Little can. Cold right out of the can.
Nothin' wrong with that at all!👍🥫🥄...serve it up!😋
You have lovely hair! I am letting mine go grey but it's so thin. Nice grocery haul! I'm gonna get some of those Kroger cup veggies. Convenient! I have a feeling I will be eating a lot of grilled cheese and red beans and rice next week..lol I just got the insulation done but my flooring hasn't arrived yet. I took the vinyl planks off I got for free because they moved too much so waiting on peel and stick tiles to come today. I have an appt for my rear shocks on the 17th so I can't finish until then damgit. But I'm going to frame out as much as I can..happy trails!
How sweet💜...thanks Sherrie😊...go get you some of those good veggies!🥕🫛🌽...Grilled Cheese Sandwich should be the official Nomad Eat!! Just keep changing the bread...I am going to pick up some marble rye 🍞🧀 mmm good!😋
@@Kathysgreatbigworld so true! There is this dark brown sourdough bread I get at Kroger that starts with an I but the name has slipped my mind..izzio maybe. Anyway, it makes the best grilled grilled but it's 7 bucks but very healthy. Guess what? I have a sink cabinet frame with my counter in it! I almost have the bedframe done..6 more pieces of wood to cut and screw in the rest of the frame and it will just need a top. I had to make my appt for my rear shocks for July 17th so I can screw anything down yet or build anything in the back..so, each piece is movable ATM but I took a drive after I built the sink cabinet and it did not move.. I took the top off one of my fave tables and used as a counter. I haven't got my sink yet but next week. I have pretty much everything out of the appt minus what I'm using and clothes and food. This is my last night here girl, I can't believe it's finally here! Anyhoo, that's my update! I'll be leaving here tomorrow and going to my cousin's and camping out so I can work on the van more. I have to work Monday but I'm so glad because I'm so broke from the build lol happy trails! I'll send pics when get a chance
@@sherried79 It's your last night in your sticks and bricks!!😁...how exciting!. I know your night will be filled with fond memories of the past...and dreaming about the endless possiblities of your future!🌍...What you have accomplished already, is not easy....I am proud of you Sherrie!
@@Kathysgreatbigworld thank you! I have literally worked my butt off. I've lost 5 lbs in this heat. Lol I finished off with making a little cabinet for my fridge to sit behind my seat and now I'm hauling what's left of the wood to my cousin's so I can come back and clean up all the sawdust out of the living room! Hahahaha I didn't care I knew I had little time and had to get er done. I am making one trip to my storage unit in the early morning to get some of my stuff to put in the van but most of it is already in my cargo box but my screens and such are in storage. Then I'll head back here to meet my cousin so she can take what furniture she wants then I'm leaving the keys and moving on! No more rent, no more rent! Hallelujah! Hehehe
@@Kathysgreatbigworld oh, my van name is Finley, Finn for short. Finley was my dad's name and without observing him work all those years, I would not have had the courage to do the build. And, I know he was guiding me through the whole thing. Happy trails girl!
LOVE the hair! I see some good snacks but you need more.
😘...Thanks!....Need more snacks!!!😋😋🌮🌭🍕🍟🍔🥞🍦🍨🧁
