A bonus video for you this week! There will still be a Sunday video, as well. Hopefully no one will complain that I posted an extra video this week. ;) I also want to thank you all for the overwhelming positive feedback on my last video! It blew my mind in a good way. I FEEL THE LOVE! Sorry I couldn't respond to all of the over 1300 comments, but I appreciate them ALL! ❤ Love you all! Cat
Its a nice surprise.
No complaints here! Sundays are my sleep-in day, so I always miss the new uploads. This one let me enjoy your company during lunch 😊
PS That Anker unit is pretty nifty. I don't have a lot of upper body strength. Is it hard to maneuver?
You're messing with me. I thought it was Sunday. 😂 I've only followed you a couple years so I'm going back and picking up vids from 4 years ago. You and Joey in Grand Canyon and Devils Gorge? (Cant remember for sure but those were both awesome trips! Glad I finally got to watch them.
Keep enjoying nature!
Hi Kimberly. It’s easy to maneuver. :)
You inspire me with the knowledge that one can live well with very little. I think your campsite beat a lot of hotels I've had to stay in. Also glad so many viewers have come to your support. I think you are doing a fine job.
A long time ago, after 2 weeks travel camping, I remember getting a hotel room as a "reward"... boy was I disappointed! I could not wait to get back out in fresh air and nature! Glad your truck is happy again. We appreciate you, too! 👍🇨🇦😎🎁
Same here! Nothing beats your own setup once you have it the way you like it, even at the price of a few "comforts."
Please be safe. You need to set up two chairs with plates, cups, etc. Therefore, if someone passes by they will think someone else is with you. Also, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Wesson are always good friends.
Love your truck setup. Yes, hotels are super expensive, camping is so much better. Safe travels!
I love to watch you. But I don’t like the baren country. I’m born an live in western Washington. ❤
Hello Catherine, I have been a follower for some time now and enjoy your stories of travel.
Saw a video from about a month ago where you were speaking on the subject of rude people and comments,
I can tell that you are a kind soul which I know makes it harder to understand how those people live in the world as they do.
But what I've also learned,,, when people are judging you it doesn't define your character-it defines their character as someone who needs to judge to feel better about themselves
Way better than a hotel.What great peaceful moments we have to hold now.Thank uou
What a great surprise to see a bonus video today! We loved it. Thanks Catherine. ❤
I love the basics 😍 Everything you need!
Less is more!!! Looks so cozy 🥰
I like your blog you’re cool
Thanks for sharing your life. Was so surprised to see your video midweek. Great setup in your truck. Stay well and be safe.
Thank you for the bonus video. Absolute love your truck camping setup. You manage to make it look and feel warm and cozy inside. Looking forward to Sunday's video!
Bonus Day.... HOORAY!!!... Always good!
Cat, the efforts and the professionalism you put into your videos, make them very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for bringing us with you on your journeys.
ROCKY MOUNTIN HIGH by John Denver my fave while camping out w/my brother many moons ago
Life is to be lived. You are the example and a leader. With all of my heart ❤ I truly hope young people, high schoolers are a large percentage of your audience.
Your fun to watch and hear about your love for the life of being in nature. And being alone, never let that be a issue with me either. Yum, enjoy. Can’t wait to see the rest.
You should be in radio; you have such a soothing, beautiful voice.
Thanks for the video Cat just want to give you a safety tip not only do you have to worry about carbon monoxide but you also have to worry about that heater using all your oxygen up make sure you are getting enough fresh air in to replace what is being used by the heater. Be safe out there and God Bless.
I hope you don't have any more problems with your truck and you have safe travels. Thank you for posting this video. Happy adventures!
Good for you Cat, having this set up gives you the freedom of pulling up and boondocking whenever possible. You had all that it was needed, the only thing that was missing was a little hike, but keep bringing these types of travel adventures.
I have been a John Denver fan since age 5. This is my reason to visit Aspen, Colorado, this fall for the John Denver Celebration. Watching videos about Aspen is how I discovered your wonderful channel. ❤
I have been watching you for years. Every video you create inspires me. I finally became a patron yesterday and am so proud to support your work. One comment you made quite a while ago is you started recording hikes for your mom. That is what I do too. She can't really hike anymore and I try to take her virtually with me on every hike I take. This week I am with her as she has cancer surgery. Praying she comes through entirely cancer free and continues to be the most spry 81 year old lady with a bum knee you've ever seen
Thank you so much for your support on Patreon! Sending prayers for your mom! 🙏
Prayers
According to the calendar, it’s Spring! Bring on the warmer temperatures. Stay warm and keep on exploring the West. 😎
I have a similar setup. My campervan is a standalone rig with everything I need for comfortable overnighting. I use a heater buddy to take the chill off before I rise in the morning. I also have a travel trailer which has amenities the van doesn't offer. So typically I will find a place I want to explore and drop the trailer. Then use the van for close-in travel for exploration. The trailer has built-in heating/AC which is perfect for boondocking.
same here, I have a suburban setup and a 19' travel trailer, I feel free'er going with the suburban only in the rugged roads the beaches and the city when I need to venture out.
You weren't a John Denver fan growing up!? Thank goodness you changed you ways, lol! I remember playing his songs on the jukebox back in the day. One in particular I played a lot at our family summer vacation lodge in Lake of the Woods, Ontario Canada. We went there every summer for two weeks, and it's still one of my favorite childhood memories. One year in particular, I developed a teenage crush on a girl whos family was there at the same time we were. Thankfully her parents and my parents became friends and we'd go visit them from time to time thereafter. The one song in particular was John Denver's "Annie's Song". Yeah, I was only a teenager, but an old soul. If you haven't listened to it before, check it out. Sorry, that story became a little long winded. I can definitely relate to your distain for hotel rooms. I hate them. If I can help it, I'll never stay in one again. Shouldn't be a problem since I have a truck camper. Glad you got your truck fixed, Cat! Wow, that bill is a little steep, but it's fixed. :) Nice cooler! Anker makes good stuff. Why do I get hungry every time I watch one of your videos, haha! Good thing your ceiling lights don't stay stuck up, lmao. I saw you pause for a second after saying that. I have the same stuck up lights too. They're great. You've got your truck camper setup dialed in. Nice job! Thanks for the bonus video!!
Great story Mark!
It isn't hard to love John Denver
I’m choosing campsite over hotel/motel any day of the week! No people = more peace & more peace = a true vacation and time to reflect on life. Thanks for the midweek video!
Thank u for this bonus video! I am still thinking about doing this with my truck. Going to be looking at your previous truck camper videos again.
A , Thursday post. This is a treat! Now back to the video.
That was a fun little ride thank you so much for taking me along and the rest of us very enjoyable to spend time with you 🙂
Thanks for sharing your traveling process and your camper setup. I love your independence, it's very encouraging for me!
Thank you for taking us along on your quick trip! Stay safe!
Nice simple set up. Beautiful spot you picked to spend the night.
I'm glad you let in some ear, as you knov, a burning heater use air.❤❤👍👍
Always nice to get mechanical problems behind you.
Your truck/canopy outings are inspiring.
Like how simple you've kept everything.
We're working on similar setup.
That’s a great little cooler! I have not seen one like that.
Definitely better than a hotel!! 👍😊
I truck camp with my 2012 Silverado with a rooftop tent over the bed. I'm jealous of your new Anker cooler. I'd love one, but I guess I wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost. I'll have to stick with my 30 year old Igloo plastic cooler for now. Looks like you had fun. I'm looking forward to Spring and some warmer weather here in Maine.
I've always camped. Got a beautiful travel trailer and it's much nicer than any hotel!! My Father owned a RV Company so I grew up traveling and racing Bmx. God bless
Thank You Catherine' Really nice that everything worked out together for the better'! Cool chill camp space' wishing you continued and safest travels and peaceful vibes, and thanks again for great meditative music' as always🎼✨
Awesome video. For what it’s worth, I enjoy videos about all aspects of life on the road. Also jealous that it’s still snowing out there.
What a nice surprise seeing you today! I love being able to pick up and go. You have a nice set up to do just that! Have a good day!
Neat setup Catherine. Glad your still out there living the dream. Pretty sad some viewers get grumpy over not seeing you for a week or so. You’d think you were working directly for them. Cheeky bunch! Good on ya Catherine!
Glad you invited us along!
You're an amazing lady... You live a life that some of us are scared to commit to you. Give me hope every day and thanks for keeping the great videos coming
What a nice surprise to see you again this week!❤ Safe and happy travels!
Very cool setup keeping it simple, so much better than a motel
I have that same utensil organizer thing. I love it. The Anker cooler looks amazing. I have yet to camp in my vehicle. Car camping always meant driving your car to somewhere to set up a tent. Times they are a changing. I’ll try the new version of car (sleeping in your car) camping this season…’only issue, I have a car, not the room you have.
i wasnt a John Denver fan nor a country fan either, i remenber listening to one of his songs "Annie's Song" many years ago , now im older that song is one of my favorites
The value of a good technician is huge 🕊🗽
Wonderful video-love it when you sit and chat with us! ❤
Nice inspiration!!! I drive a Jeep where I’ve built a sleeping area and kitchen with cabinets! You inspire me to continue my overland travels. So, thank you!!! Travel safe!!!
Nice to see u in the middle of the week - thank you.
I love your channel... I also love that you don't do one set of modalities as far as just the camper or just the truck camper or just the truck but you combine these things to show us the versatility of how anyone can camp with whatever they have.... And that makes me so happy because you don't need the perfect thing that you might think in your mind just to get out there and do a little camping, to experience God's beauty... Thank you for that😊
I watched this for the second time and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. You have learned alot since the first trip you made a few years ago but the fresh air has done you good over the years. You look younger now. Keep going
Nice surprise this morning....
Thanks CAT.
Joan
A good camp is 10x better than any motel.
Thank you. Thanks for the information on the Anker cooler. Been looking for just such a thing.
I so agree……..a campsite is preferable over a motel any day………even if the weather isn’t the best! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Catherine I am so Happy you are back on the road safe You might want to try to get a Long stem lighter for your stove so you don't get to close to the flame
Thank you David. I meant to pack one, but forgot it.
I enjoyed seeing your functional, pleasant, minimalist setup. That's my favorite style of camping and traveling also. Thanks for your video and best wishes to you!
Your Vids are such a relief from the crazy world today....Thanks for sharing your travels....
Cozy trip. Love the little frig. Sure it comes in handy. 😊 ❄️❄️❄️
Nice truck set up...way better than a tent, lol...a day in the "woods" beats a week in a motel...thx
Cat it's amazing to see the competence you have developed over just a couple of years on the road. We agree you have found your calling and appreciate each and every video you share. We feel as if we are right there with you. Keep on rollin" and be safe.❤
Thanks for sharing your adventure, awesome video.👍
Delightful little video ..love the truck..the simplicity of things makes life most treasured
We love you and we feel so good to see YOU happy!
It was so nice to see your truck camp up finished. It all work so well for you, stay safe & be happy,Elaine from Queensland,Australia.
Nice setup! Thanks for showing it.
Is it Sunday already🤔 So happy you posted early!!!
Isn't it funny, maybe ironic is more appropriate. I spent two years getting my van fixed up with gear and gadgets. However, I find I just use the basic gear I started with. I love the simplicity of your truck setup. Great video, Catherine.
You sure inspire a fellow to get back on the road. I
Enjoy viewing your channel.
My wife is a real trooper who drove thousands of miles across USA up to Canada and back.
It’s nice to know she’s not alone:)
Drive safe stay safe.

Love that cooler. I trucked for many years and then had a cigarette plug in cooler and warmer. It was very handy. One stop was to a Space shuttle landing.
I'm camped north of Bend. Cold, windy and wonderful. Sun just went away and it's time for my 60 year old goose down cocoon.
Love your vids. Keep up the good work. Keep well. Stay safe.
A mid-week video! Nice surprise.
That was fun! That’s cool to be able to use the trailer or just the trunk.
Love that truck set up. Well done!
Love the video cat look at you you went from 80,000 to 84. See you’re not gonna lose anybody stay warm we just started getting a snow storm. All the snow was melted here in Michigan at least Alpena Michigan and it looks like we’ve got about 2 inches right now so at least I can get some skiing in before it melts. 😂 😂😂😂😂 ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Excellent a midweek video release. I'm glad to see the truck is fixed.
Thanks 👍
Good evening Catherine. I'm glad to see you're doing well. That being said, thanks so much for sharing your latest adventures solo truck camping in the Great Outdoors.
Thank you Cat for caring and sharing!
Hi from Tennessee. What a beautiful camp site great meal so jealous. Fun times
Nothing better than coffee in the morning - my only vice.
Thanks Cat 😊 Perfect little road travel and campsite video. That burger looked scrumptious along with your nicely prepared broccoli. Cool how you have your truck camping set up just right. Good Job .... Be Safe and Well
Cat I’m really digging the truck camping stuff! I do the same thing when I wanna leave my trailer behind! 😊
Yes. If it's a hotel vs. an outdoor site like this one - outdoors wins every time...
Happy and safe traveling to you Cat! 🕊
Thanks for taking us along! A nice mid week treat! While traveling out to Arizona a few weeks ago, we hit a large chuck hole on I10 in Beaumont, Tx. We had what called the “death wobble “ It was so frightening! Long story short, it occurred 2 more times before arriving in Sierra Vista, Az. We had the inner & outer drag link ends replaced & added Icon dual stabilizer kit in Prescott Valley, Az. We had seen the “Death Wobble “ on another RUclips channel. It’s fairly common in F250 trucks. It was a
$ 2,000 repair. Take care, Cat! Continued safe travels ❤
Amazing adventure the view driving great adventure stay safe out there ❤
Better and more affordable than a motel room. I'm not the biggest fan of John Denver either but I do like folk music, bluegrass, classic rock even some county -western. Thank You for posting your videos. It's nice to take a trip without getting out of my easy chair. Stay Safe!! 🙏👍
Your set up is very nice, meal looked awesome and as always tastes better outdoors. Yes, I will always prefer to sleep in my own bed. We appreciate you Cat, keep doing your thing.
That's awesome setup I love camping in a canopy I used to do it all time super simple😊😊😊
Surprised. TY
Great call with that A1 sauce!! Getting away to next place to see the great sights nature has to see. Oh what a life it is to be camping in the open.
Thank you, thank you for the bonus video! Always enjoy the view of nature from your trips!
Great arrangement. An ex of mine and i used to camp like that a lot. He had drawers under a bed platform that held all the necessary supplies. During the week those drawers held tools for work. So easy to switch drawers.
Awesome! Thanks for the bonus video Cat! Looking forward to it!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hope you like it!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Love it!!
Your truck camp set up looks simple and cozy! And your dinner looked so delicious -- I was very envious! Safe travels 🙂
Great to have an extra video; beautiful, stay safe😎⭐️🤩❄️
This was so good, I’m ready to get out and start camping and traveling again. I happen to meet someone along the way that is not a camper and it’s time for me to get to what I love and we’ll figure it out. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures and the inspirations.
