More than 40 women have been found murdered or have disappeared from the Highway of Tears in BC since the 1960s. Most of them aboriginal girls and women. For more about the Highway of Tears and the women, I recommend watching the Documentary h: ttp://highwayoftearsfilm.com/watch
Carolyn's RV Life Good job on following your gut instinct! I’m glad you left and drove on. He was definitely up to NO GOOD! What a creep 😠 Wasp spray the next freak lol (jk) luv ya and take care-Debbie
So glad you trusted your gut! Stay safe. And perhaps don't tell strangers that you are on your way to Alaska. The less they know your plans, the better. Stay safe.
Yeah, great idea and a second dog bowl and call out your imaginary dog named Killer while you warn him that Killer doesn't like strangers.....and use this to make a quick getaway away from a potentially unsafe situation.
She may have but that's not where I heard it. A Bob Wells interview with an older lady. I thought it was great. Shame on a couple Trollers that made fun of it!
Its NEVER ok to get close to someone else's rig, look in its windows, and ask personal questions!!!! Your Creep-meter went sky high and so glad you listened to it.
Always, Always get a licence plate number and description of vehicle and do not hesitate to CALL IT IN even if you think you are JUST being paranoid you may save someone else's life.
Thank you for sharing this story. Your comment about women wanting to be nice, really hit home for me! Thanks to this video I will remind myself that we aren't required to be nice and try not to hurt peoples feelings. Stranger danger is a big deal!
Hi. Carolyn I am a 48 yr. Young black female ..that had many encounters that would make your hair stand up ..I have i just found your channel a few days ago and have been watching almost every day...I enjoyed your journeys..Thank you for allowing me on them with you.. and I am very sad about your fury friend Capone... You are such a care free gentle spirit. I am enjoying all of your exploring..I have said to myself,, one day I'm going to get an RV and hit the road..but that is the most I have done,, is say it..you are truly living it...what an inspiration to me..and I'm sure to so many others....Thank you for taking me for the ride along...Now about the creep alert..I am a female in Baltimore,Maryland.. I drove a taxi cab for many years.. also was a security guard... and I say was because my back is kind of messed up ..probably from sitting in my taxi cab for 16 to 17 hours a day for years..I had many customers that got into my cab while driving the overnite shift..Male and female.. I can tell you that being in a busy metropolitan area some of those customers creeped me out aswell.. Thank God I had a fiber glass shield separating me from them..I can only imagine how isolated it would be in a area that large away from everything and everyone..I am so happy that your creep alert radar kicked in full gear...I do not scare easily but that situation you endured more than creeped me out.. just imagine if it was getting dark out as that happened ...that only throws in ten times more of a truly bad scenario.....get yourself a aluminum baseball bat..and keep it wedged in between your chair or somewhere you can get to it...God allows us to defend ourselves if need be..you are a true warrior with great instinctive intuition,, guts,,savyness,,and wisdom,,, Get you some pepper spray too..continue your journey and exploring with peace and safety ..maybe even carrying some sort of stick with you once you first start exploring your campsite..never know who is lurking around from a far with binoculars..May the covering from our Lord.. precious blood of Jesus cover you from head to toe and your RV..and every place your feet tread..Amen!! Take special care of yourself great lady!!
as a guy i have run into situations like that myself where i have felt uncomfortable and have had to be stern with the person, so its not just the women but everyone should watch out and trust their gut. thanks for the great reminder for i hope to be on the road myself again shortly.
Carolyn, this is a huge thing. Indigenous women, especially, have been disappearing for years, & very little has been done about it. You must report this to the police, & provide a description of the guy & the car, as well as a description of the guy who knocked on your door earlier. Please do this to protect other women who aren't as savvy as you, or who don't have a dog, or who break down at the side of the road.
👍Rewatched this video after watching the “Response” video. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! YOU SHARED YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. You felt uncomfortable, so you did the right thing by leaving. You made me and a lot of people more aware of the Highway of Tears and the tragedy of all of those missing women. You gave good advice. Only Linescrew1 knows what his real reasons & intentions were for posting that video & falsely accusing you of exploiting the situation. KEEP MOVING FORWARD. 🤗💞🤗
Dear Carolyne: Thank you for covering this subject. When I was in College The Campus Police gave us all a lecture and one thin he said stuck with me. He said If your Gut tells you something is not quite right or feels weird to you to please trust your gut cause it usually is 99% correct. I am truly validatibg your feelings and your decisions to trust your gut.
So why the heck are you not 200 miles from that area? I would drive all night to another place for the night to get away from a situation like THAT !!! LISTEN TO YOUR GUT GET THE H*LL OUT OF THERE!
Always listen to your instincts. It's not mystical either... it's neurological. Our brains evolved to pick up on in small things like facial expressions, body language, voice tones and verbal cues as a matter of survival. We subconsciously pick up on things that we are not even aware of... so when you get that weird feeling.... listen! Your brain knows more than you are aware of... and when it detects something is off it releases neurotransmitters and other hormones that increase your heart rate and other things to prepare you for fight or flight. Pay attention when it happens.
TheBioExplorer there's a book out called I think the gift of fear and I think it's about this basic concept and I think it's it's such a good read so eye opening
hotheadedjoelhaha Uh no... Where did I say it was just a woman thing? It's a human brain evolution thing. Dang you must have issues to read all that into my post on what we call instinct as a function of brain biology.
TheBioExplorer True. I got the same feeling from one of my daughter's boyfriends. If I were to say why, the most I could say was that "he did not walk right", crazy huh? Turns out there was a long history of mental illness on both sides of his family so I was relieved when he finally dumped her. I did warn her after I saw him trying to put the moves on her brother's girlfriend (and the girlfriend responding, lol) so she was not too surprised or heartbroken. I was also not too thrilled about the girlfriend but that's another story.
You can report the incidence, as the police put together many small details. If he is a rapist and/or murderer, then you have a description of him, and it should be contributed to the case. Also, I have attended numerous self-defense classes for women, and done community outreach in Los Angeles. The message we learned and shared with women (and men) is to trust your gut and honor it. It's better to be safe than dead. Also, if there is a known area where women are attacked, then it can also draw copy cats, men who hear of the occurrence and follow suit. He may be one of many who engage in these behaviors. You don't want to be his next victim. No woman should end up as the next victim. Trusting your gut means you believe the danger to be true, and take immediate action. The alarm bell is ringing inside your head. Do not turn it off. Do not say, "Oh, he's okay. I'm just imagining it." This is the sign. Women need to believe it.
I really hope you took note of the guys physical appearance & his make/model of car. It wouldn't even be the worst idea to let the non-emergency police line people know that there's a guy lurking around offering tours to give them a heads up. You never know when a small tip will turn into a big breakthrough & possibly save lives. Even if it seems silly it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Living in Prince George for 12 years those stories you read and truely they are true. Please if your still in that area .. please leave .. I would of told you about that had I knew you were going that way. You got me Praying for ya and I hope there are thousands more praying for you too.. You are a very Special Lady to a lot of us so please be careful ok !
There have been a couple of times I got that sinking feeling in my gut and I took off, and I hear your voice in my head. Thank you sharing the pictures and what’s going on with you now. Please stay safe Blessings to you and Capone 💖🐾💖
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. You saw and your subconscious picked up on non-verbal cues that, when put together, led you quickly to your conclusion dude ain't right. He was deliberating in his own mind whether he should act and looking for an opportunity to do so. You never let him get that far and vamped before he could. You are a natural. We're hiring! !!! Take care and continue to enjoy this amazing adventure! :)
Thank you for this vote of confidence Wally! Yeah, something was not right with that guy.. I actually left town after that and drove miles and miles away...
sunny spaces yep. Programmed by men to make us easier to rape, push around, etc. I have a t-shirt that says, "BITCH- it's not just for breakfast anymore!"
Thank you for sharing this. I just took my first long solo trip up the east coast. I have been worried about the gut instinct kicking in and me being able to hear it. I had friends driving an hour and a half up to see me at this campground and to go out to dinner. I pulled into the campground and immediately was on alert. I was "judging" people on their looks and on the rv park itself. I left...called my friends and we ended up driving back to their house and I stayed there. Sometimes you have to "judge" others. I don't regret making that decision. The campground might have been perfectly fine but I knew that i would not get a good night sleep if I stayed there.
Back in the fifties when people hitchhiked it is safe to say your gut feeling is right. Out of ten rides you might encounter an act of predatory behavior at least once. Those billboard signs were there for a reason.
Cal Ryan I totally freaked out and, can't get over the story my husband said that after he worked at the bowling alley as a pin settlement, they'd close up and he'd hitchhike home. He was 11!!!!!!! But, that was in 1953.
Carolyn, you are right to be rude. Don't spare the feelings. Things happened when I was young and afraid of hurting feelings. If that were today it would be different. Women are smarter today and thank goodness for that. And I would not be alone without my Smith and Wesson. I don't care who likes it or who doesn't .Women are not able to protect themselves unless you have the physical strength of a man. I don't . I'm 5 ' 2 and and 120 pounds. I'll keep my gun thank you.
Whether you are in a van, rv, trailer, in a house, or even on the phone, never tell a stranger that you are alone. If anybody ever asks you if you are alone that is definitely a red flag 🚩
Thank god you listened to your gut. I’ll show my daughter this video. Well put. Don’t ever Doubt when you feel a dangerous field of energy around a person and don’t try to rationalize it just to soon as you feel it leave
Carolyn I am so glad that you follow your gut. You have to stay safe because you are too important to all your friends and those who follow your travels. As for men being inappropriate to Women in any way, It is never OK or innocent. I have walked this earth for many years now and too many men enjoy seeing how far they can go and how uncomfortable they can make a Woman feel. This is wrong, it is barbaric and if it is done in my presence there will be hell to pay. It all boils down to respect and there is far to little respect being shown to one another in this world of computer interaction and social media. People say hurtful damaging things as they hide behind the keyboard. These are the actions of a bully and they are damaging to the innocent.
Stay safe honey & your never traveling alone. You have all of us praying for you & God is always with you. Thank you & Capone for this great adventure you are taking us on. Happy trails
There are about 1200 missing or murdered Aboriginal women in the north of Canada. Dating back to 1980. It's a preditors haven, not enough police and lots of hiding places and it's easy to make someone disappear out there with no witnesses. It's not just the Bears you have to worry about up north.
I'm not talking about just that stretch of highway I'm talking about up north in general, get your facts straight this is easily looked up. Aboriginal women are murdered all over Canada. It's been on the news alot over the last few years.
Corinne McLeod Wow I didn't believe you at first that so many Aboriginal women went missing so I googled it and it says that actually over 4000 Aboriginal women went missing in Canada within the last few decades. That literally blew my mind that so many Aboriginal women are going missing.
Sad isn't it, can't say that the police have killed themselves trying to solve these murders. I know the statistics vary depending on what areas they are including. Just wanted Caroylin to be aware and stay safe.
Carolyn, good job listening to your inner voice and getting out of there. There is a lot of predators on the Hwy’s and rest stops and wilderness looking for a easy victim. I am glad you are being wise and got out of that area. Your right never tell anyone your traveling alone.
Carolyn, I am home bound and so I am an avid “Investigative Discovery” watcher. I have seen a special on one of their shows regarding the “Trail of Tears” disappearances. It is very sad, and to my knowledge, as of yet unsolved. Please for the love of God, be careful. As a survivor of rape, I never leave home without a gun. I would feel so much better knowing that you had one. Definitely trust your instincts. God bless you and I pray that he keeps you safe. Hugs to Capone. I have 3 myself.
Sheila Lowe I also am ID savy, and have learned a lot about preditory behaviors. I pray for the victims of violence and their families as a special intention when at Mass and often. Good day and take care 😃
T Gately, I think the biggest reason that I watch those shows, is when the perpetrators are caught, (sadly, some not for decades), not only to see justice served, but ultimately see good prevail over evil. I was touched by murder in my own life, long story. You never get over it. Thank you for your comment and prayers for all that are touched by evil. I too pray for them. Let us also pray that God keeps Carolyn and Capone safe on their journey. God bless you and keep you safe also. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🦋
You are being a good example of how a woman can be safe solo on the road. Being aware of where you are what's around & how you feel (gut). Acting accordingly. Good.
These are the kinds of things we, as women need to hear. Particularly those of us that live on the road. This was a very calm, well articulated video. No drama, none of the other garbage that line1 screwed up guy mentions in his video. Keep sharing!
Amen Carolyn!!! I could just hug you. Over my 56 years, I've had that 'gut feeling' and it was right every time. Never ignore it. Stay safe out there dear girl. Love your videos!
Please don’t go off the main roads searching for camping spots... I have followed may You Tubers in vans and RVs traveling up to Alaska and back and they all park right Near the highway or businesses in small towns... It is different than down in the lower 48. The lack of people traveling the AlCan highway or the other one create a big vulnerability. I’m sorry you can’t be as free as you were down South on the back roads... if you went for a walk, someone could disable your motor while you’re away from your vehicle... it’s a different situation up there, save your trust for the more populated areas.
That is my experience traveling the Cassier and AlCan. This is true wilderness where anything can happen with few outposts many of which are closed. I advise going to visitors centers to find out places that are open and camping in settlements only. Predation from animals and humans is a real thing here. There was just a couple murdered near Liard hot springs on the AlCan. Their vehicle broke down....
I decided about 10 years ago that I will no longer feel uncomfortable so that someone else can feel comfortable, when I looked at it that way, it made it easier to be "rude"...I think it comes with age and we need to tech young people especially women this ...when they are young ...before life changing events take place.
Yes, always trust your intuition. It will never steer you wrong. Creepy as the hair on the back of your neck tingles....... It's not a laughing matter. This is a very, very serious matter.
Be careful and always go with your gut. I think you should go somewhere else to sleep tonight. Like my friend used to say. His name was Ray. He said if men are nice and not harmful, they usually won't approach a woman who is alone somewhere vulnerable because they don't want to scare her. He said and if a guy approaches you somewhere and asks things like "are you alone" or "how long will you be here" most likely he is up to no good. Ray (God Bless his Soul) was an ex cop so I know he knew what he was talking about. I have always kept that in mind. He said never admit you are alone. So you have good thinking. Believe it or not a lot of women answer truthfully. Plus, you kept thinking about it after so it makes me think you sensed something. He sounded Creepy. Be Safe! You have me hooked on your videos. I can't wait until you post your next one lol!
Shirley Anderson lol yes I saw that but I was still telling her in case of another time she happens upon that situation. I saw that she said she never tells anybody where she is at the moment.
I agree with you about not being so freaking nice as a woman! As a recovering people pleaser = this has been a huge challenge for me during the first half of my life!!! And something I am working hard to change in the 2nd half!
yogawick 👍great post!!! Loved the "recovering people pleaser" there are far to many of us out there that can relate to that :) I just hadn't had a title for it until now, thanks
Geez, and i've been creeped out by random killings lately, but your story is alarming. Never let a stranger approach you alone in a deserted place as a female. Lock up and get the hell out of there.
You are so good about paying attention to your Gut. I'm glad your ok. Your fast on your feet saying you were not alone. Thank you for reminding us all about trusting our gut instinct. That is sad about the girls that are missing. They poor families who don't have closure. Omg. Your so right about women putting others before ourself. That is hard to do with all the training we have had. Thank you so much for this great lesson.
You did the right thing. "Are you traveling alone?" definitely falls into the category, "Just because the question is asked, does not mean that it must be answered!" Why would any stranger need to know that? No positive reason I know.
Carolyn, You did good, gal. Trust that gut. Even if it turns out to be no big deal, it usually never hurts to follow it, though when you don't, I've experienced for myself how things can go sideways. It can change drastically or even end a life and I'm glad it didn't go that way for you, Dear. The guy did fit the profile of a suspicious character and didn't seem that smart either, as he gave himself away by leering into and at your motor home and hanging about. Sizing the situation up, I'd say he might be part of a group of nappers. He may have been thinking about the motor home, if they have any stray plates to exchange with yours, so they could drive it away after he takes you on a "tour". As far as Capone, I'm thinking, "Yep he's friendly now, but if the guy emitted any bad intentions toward you, Capone would sniff that out in a hurry". Give him some nice scratches for me and Keep Trusting Your Instincts. : )
I just posted some links... 2011 Madison Scott disappeared from Highway 16 aka Highway of Tears...check out the links I posted... been following the Highway of Tears disappearance for quite sometime..
That sounds very suspicious, I think your gut was on target. The fact that he asked if you are traveling alone was just too weird!! Don't take any chances, these guys are pretty sly !!
As you said he asked "are you alone?" My radar totally went up! Why would a man want to know that? Especially up front. There's no need to know that of a stranger. Good job trusting your gut!!!
Thank you for posting this, i think many women do not TRUST their inner voice and are conditioned to be NICE and do that instead Many lives could be saved if women prioritized their lives and understand that VIOLENCE against them is a reality and the Trail of TEARS is very dangerous. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS TO WOMEN. I have traveled throughout the world and stayed safe, not out of luck but always listening to my gut/intuition and being reasonably cautious, never walk in fear---NEVER. I never compromised my safety. Second thing is NEVER SECOND GUESS YOURSELF.
I live in BC, The Highway of Tears is tragic, why the entire country is not completely outraged is beyond me. Yes, as women we're taught from day one to ignore our instincts and to be polite. There is an amazing book called The Gift of Fear by Gavin Debecker that EVERY woman should read. Never be afraid to react when in doubt and listen to that inner voice! It's instinctual and it's primal, it's there to keep us safe. Good for you for getting out of that situation.
Keep your Bear Spray on your hip and at night on the stand. Although Wasp Spray is cheaper it has a more concentrated stream and won't fog up the entire RV.
Please do not use bear spray on anything but a bear. It is too strong, and in some areas you can be prosecuted for illegal use. On the other hand, you can not use pepper spray on a bear, it is ineffective. It works great against an attacking human.
Oh Carolyn! Coming in two years later -- I would have done exactly the same thing, down to your answer. When someone only asks you if you're alone and actually waits for you to answer -- it is WAY creepy. I'm never "alone" for whoever's asking. I just gave this response to a guy that suddenly appeared outside a building I was working in. I told him, "No," and he actually said, "You look like you're alone." I told him to have a nice night & left to go into the locked building. He was probably working for my boss, but without an introduction... and that singular "Are you alone?" question... I'm real "unfriendly". I'm so thankful for your response and safety. It would have been an awfully sad story without you around to tell it! Thank you for helping the folks doing the road life!
Thanks for sharing this Carolyn. You are SO right when you say that women are trained to be "nice" and not to be "rude" and that's something that I used to struggle with a lot. Smile, be nice, don't make a scene, don't be impolite. Well sometimes, like you said...you just gotta say, uh uh, no way, I'm outta here. I'm so glad you have a good gut instinct and that you are keeping yourself safe! Hugs and happy travels!
Glad you're okay! Wish you had pictures... I like Nomadic Fanatic's setup with security cameras all around connected to a DVR that records 24/7... so you've always got a record of anything that happens.
You’re doing the right thing - always trust your instincts (they will never fail you). I’m a bit shook for you - I see this a nudge from the divine 💫 to be on guard more often.. Be safe! Continue to enjoy the journey 🚐 Thanks for sharing this with us 👍🏽
When in doubt, take a hike! Get out and figure it out later...if all you did was hurt his feelings, then that’s livable. Glad nothing else happened...you stay safe!
Carolyn you need to go to Goodwill and buy the biggest pair od mens shoes and couple pair of kids shoes..outside your door as soon as you open it...always leave on noise on in camper...you need second chair..never..NEVER..give appearance of being alone..doesn't hurt to every now and then Holla or say..what honey? It is with the other ammo.
Adding the kids shoes and an extra LARGE DOG FOOD BOWL is a great idea. The man, the kids and the dog could be just within hearing distance for all that guy would know. Also, when talking to anyone, it's "WE went to the museum, WE are from Nevada, WE are heading out in just a few"
I always tell my kids to listen to that voice inside you. If it feels wrong, feels creepy, or is an unwelcome feeling, you listen! My daughter's and grandkids know. We need to keep empowering each other. Thank you for a good lesson!!💜
Four yrs ago when you made this mention over the highway of Tears Women had gotten empowered to stand up and be counted and you still stand up and be counted. Bravo Carolyn Bravo!
Your camera would have made him back off. I'll never forget that creepy guy in your video when you were swapping RV's. I still wonder what the heck that guy was doing, but that time, he did get scared of Capone. Always be on guard. Keep your bear spray handy. Be safe and enjoy the beautiful scenery and tranquility.
Yes always trust your gut instinct. Especially a stranger. That man definitely sounded creepy. And to ask if you're traveling alone. Red flag. TMI Too much Information. To ask a woman that anywhere anytime. Definitely time to go! Good for you Caroline. Safe Travels.
Very proud of ya lady keep smiling don’t let things bring you down or spoil your trip through our beautiful country love your broadcast always be safe enjoy your journey (kev)
Years ago, a friend recommended a book by someone that started profiling for the FBI. He wrote that society teaches women to be too nice and to always try and make peace. A lot of women who are abused by their significant other are killed AFTER they leave their partner. The abuser convinces the woman to have one last conversation for one more chance...the woman out of guilt will give in and that is when the woman is murdered......thank you for listening to your therapist, thank you for respecting your self and your gut and being reasonable . I hope to catch up to you one day on the road.
I just found your Highway of Tears video, glad you shared it. If you reported the man, his car or his license plate, you prevented numerous future murders by reporting this to police. Thank you for that. Best, Helen
This was one of the most touching ones far as posting with the young girls missing. Sad to say the least & praying for those lost victims to be found safely & reunited back with there loved ones one day. Be careful out there while there is a lot of good people out there, so is bad.. And I'm glad you trusted your gut..
Carolyn, you're sharp. I'm so glad you got the hell out of there. Thanx for helping me turn off the 'nice' when some punk makes me feel 'icky'. I'm an old man, but it happens to me here in Concord, CA.
Thank you for sharing this important encounter! This has encouraged me to become more socially aware and be confident in my caution and much more aware of my surroundings!!
Great therapy lesson Carolyn! Many (most) girls are trained to be polite and to put other's comfort ahead of our own. I was trained to respect others above all else, but my parents forgot (?) to teach me that respect for myself is most important. Thanks for your lesson shared, I will remember it while on the road especially...and daily!
Carolyn, In the mid 1970 I made a trip to Prince Rupert and Stewart in BC. On the way in I noticed a nicely dressed, young crippled native lady sitting beside the road at New Hazelton. She had a cardboard sign on her lap. On my return several days later, she was still sitting there. Of course, with a family, there no room for her in my car. I have often wondered what happened to her. I'm glad your encounter didn't escalate. You did the right thing. Yet licence plate number. and thanks for sharing.
I just had to go back & watch this video as I remember when you first posted it and actually I’ve watched it several times since you first posted it!! And I’ve actually watched it several times since you first posted it! I watch it to remind myself to stay vigilant no matter where I am ♥️♥️
You cannot fight a Man, I hope you have a equalizer. You told him you were alone when you said I just went to the Museum instead of we went to the museum.
Exactly...They be trolling to see if they can attack you..Smfh..Sad world we live in but I"m glad this lady made it to safety..I've been following that Trail of Tears story for years now and it's never been solved..Maybe it never will..But either way women in that area need to be aware. Peace and Blessings!
My husband and I live in North Pole, which is 13 miles south of Fairbanks. I think I remember you saying you were going to come up here, and I know you post a few weeks after you leave a spot. It would be awesome if we could meet up in Fairbanks! If you come up here, be sure to visit Pioneer Park, and the most awesome RVs, converted vans, converted buses and all kids of things like that, camp at the Wal Mart here. It's worth driving through the parking lot just to see all the interesting things folks are doing on the road!
Highway of Tears is mostly younger girls that were hitchhiking and went missing. Still always best to stay safe and away from people who raise any red flags. Remote areas can be sketchy for women traveling alone no matter where you travel.
Check out all the missing and murdered indigenous girls and women that have not found any justice in their disappearance and life taken in Canada. Talking about over 1000. It's a huge epidemic there. Please be safe. Its beautiful there, but you should be cautious there. Aloha
![[Special Clip] ATEEZ(에이티즈) 홍중 'Why Do You Love'](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/I6XYXQKN_pY/mqdefault.jpg)
More than 40 women have been found murdered or have disappeared from the Highway of Tears in BC since the 1960s. Most of them aboriginal girls and women. For more about the Highway of Tears and the women, I recommend watching the Documentary h: ttp://highwayoftearsfilm.com/watch
Carolyn's RV Life Good job on following your gut instinct! I’m glad you left and drove on. He was definitely up to NO GOOD! What a creep 😠 Wasp spray the next freak lol (jk) luv ya and take care-Debbie
Carolyn's RV Life I won't be one of them! I'm a bitch with a cleaver and handy with a gun! Oh and a German Shepard who likes asshole blood!
Partially Off Grid & Homesteading right on her was up to no good! There are a lot of freaks lurking in the woods!
So glad you trusted your gut! Stay safe. And perhaps don't tell strangers that you are on your way to Alaska. The less they know your plans, the better. Stay safe.
You could write a really good short story about this. 😎👍
The missing. So sad. My son has been missing for almost 2 years. I wasn’t expecting the signs you showed. Made me cry. Please stay safe.
Debi Argust ,I am so.sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
{{{Hugs}}}
I am so so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I see this was posted 1 year ago. Any changes?
oh my God I'm so sorry :(
Some single gals always put out 2 chairs and a pair of large men's boots you can pick up at a thrift store, not a bad idea, just an FYI.
laura j phillips. Better yet, dress as a man.
2 chairs, large men's boots and a HUGE dog bowl! ;-)
laura j phillips great ideas!!
Yeah, great idea and a second dog bowl and call out your imaginary dog named Killer while you warn him that Killer doesn't like strangers.....and use this to make a quick getaway away from a potentially unsafe situation.
She may have but that's not where I heard it. A Bob Wells interview with an older lady. I thought it was great. Shame on a couple Trollers that made fun of it!
Its NEVER ok to get close to someone else's rig, look in its windows, and ask personal questions!!!! Your
Creep-meter went sky high and so glad you listened to it.
Thank you, I can't stand that, our first BLM stay we were inundated with lookie loos and I wish I had been less polite and said GO, NOW.
Always, Always get a licence plate number and description of vehicle and do not hesitate to CALL IT IN even if you think you are JUST being paranoid you may save someone else's life.
Thank you for sharing this story. Your comment about women wanting to be nice, really hit home for me! Thanks to this video I will remind myself that we aren't required to be nice and try not to hurt peoples feelings. Stranger danger is a big deal!
That’s right !
Are you traveling alone is not a normal (man stranger) question. Your gut was RIGHT!
Exactly, a gentleman WUD NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION TO A LONE WOMAN TO BEGIN WITH KNOWING IT WUD FREAK HER OUT.
Hi. Carolyn
I am a 48 yr. Young black female ..that had many encounters that would make your hair stand up ..I have i just found your channel a few days ago and have been watching almost every day...I enjoyed your journeys..Thank you for allowing me on them with you.. and I am very sad about your fury friend Capone...
You are such a care free gentle spirit. I am enjoying all of your exploring..I have said to myself,, one day I'm going to get an RV and hit the road..but that is the most I have done,, is say it..you are truly living it...what an inspiration to me..and I'm sure to so many others....Thank you for taking me for the ride along...Now about the creep alert..I am a female in Baltimore,Maryland..
I drove a taxi cab for many years.. also was a security guard... and I say was because my back is kind of messed up ..probably from sitting in my taxi cab for 16 to 17 hours a day for years..I had many customers that got into my cab while driving the overnite shift..Male and female..
I can tell you that being in a busy metropolitan area some of those customers creeped me out aswell.. Thank God I had a fiber glass shield separating me from them..I can only imagine how isolated it would be in a area that large away from everything and everyone..I am so happy that your creep alert radar kicked in full gear...I do not scare easily but that situation you endured more than creeped me out.. just imagine if it was getting dark out as that happened ...that only throws in ten times more of a truly bad scenario.....get yourself a aluminum baseball bat..and keep it wedged in between your chair or somewhere you can get to it...God allows us to defend ourselves if need be..you are a true warrior with great instinctive intuition,, guts,,savyness,,and wisdom,,,
Get you some pepper spray too..continue your journey and exploring with peace and safety ..maybe even carrying some sort of stick with you once you first start exploring your campsite..never know who is lurking around from a far with binoculars..May the covering from our Lord.. precious blood of Jesus cover you from head to toe and your RV..and every place your feet tread..Amen!!
Take special care of yourself great lady!!
as a guy i have run into situations like that myself where i have felt uncomfortable and have had to be stern with the person, so its not just the women but everyone should watch out and trust their gut. thanks for the great reminder for i hope to be on the road myself again shortly.
ken strampe your so right anyone traveling alone should be on guard even couples
Carolyn, this is a huge thing. Indigenous women, especially, have been disappearing for years, & very little has been done about it. You must report this to the police, & provide a description of the guy & the car, as well as a description of the guy who knocked on your door earlier. Please do this to protect other women who aren't as savvy as you, or who don't have a dog, or who break down at the side of the road.
Makes me wonder if the perpetrator may be a cop. Maybe that's why little has been done about it.
It’s been going on for so long that I don’t think it’s just one person. It’s probably several taking advantage of the isolation
So did she report the stranger to police in case he was a killer?
Probably not.
👍Rewatched this video after watching the “Response” video. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! YOU SHARED YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. You felt uncomfortable, so you did the right thing by leaving. You made me and a lot of people more aware of the Highway of Tears and the tragedy of all of those missing women. You gave good advice. Only Linescrew1 knows what his real reasons & intentions were for posting that video & falsely accusing you of exploiting the situation. KEEP MOVING FORWARD. 🤗💞🤗
Dear Carolyne: Thank you for covering this subject. When I was in College The Campus Police gave us all a lecture and one thin he said stuck with me. He said If your Gut tells you something is not quite right or feels weird to you to please trust your gut cause it usually is 99% correct. I am truly validatibg your feelings and your decisions to trust your gut.
So why the heck are you not 200 miles from that area? I would drive all night to another place for the night to get away from a situation like THAT !!! LISTEN TO YOUR GUT GET THE H*LL OUT OF THERE!
Always listen to your instincts. It's not mystical either... it's neurological. Our brains evolved to pick up on in small things like facial expressions, body language, voice tones and verbal cues as a matter of survival. We subconsciously pick up on things that we are not even aware of... so when you get that weird feeling.... listen! Your brain knows more than you are aware of... and when it detects something is off it releases neurotransmitters and other hormones that increase your heart rate and other things to prepare you for fight or flight. Pay attention when it happens.
Exactly. This is ingrained in us; hardwired to protect ourselves even if we aren't totally aware of what our brains are doing.
TheBioExplorer there's a book out called I think the gift of fear and I think it's about this basic concept and I think it's it's such a good read so eye opening
So true..
hotheadedjoelhaha Uh no... Where did I say it was just a woman thing? It's a human brain evolution thing. Dang you must have issues to read all that into my post on what we call instinct as a function of brain biology.
TheBioExplorer True. I got the same feeling from one of my daughter's boyfriends. If I were to say why, the most I could say was that "he did not walk right", crazy huh? Turns out there was a long history of mental illness on both sides of his family so I was relieved when he finally dumped her. I did warn her after I saw him trying to put the moves on her brother's girlfriend (and the girlfriend responding, lol) so she was not too surprised or heartbroken. I was also not too thrilled about the girlfriend but that's another story.
You can report the incidence, as the police put together many small details. If he is a rapist and/or murderer, then you have a description of him, and it should be contributed to the case. Also, I have attended numerous self-defense classes for women, and done community outreach in Los Angeles. The message we learned and shared with women (and men) is to trust your gut and honor it. It's better to be safe than dead. Also, if there is a known area where women are attacked, then it can also draw copy cats, men who hear of the occurrence and follow suit. He may be one of many who engage in these behaviors. You don't want to be his next victim. No woman should end up as the next victim. Trusting your gut means you believe the danger to be true, and take immediate action. The alarm bell is ringing inside your head. Do not turn it off. Do not say, "Oh, he's okay. I'm just imagining it." This is the sign. Women need to believe it.
Bernadette Bockis .
Bernadette Bockis yes ...exactly needs to be reported...license plate, man & car description...he could have followed her
@@melindalancaster9648 I really hope his car and description was reported
I really hope you took note of the guys physical appearance & his make/model of car. It wouldn't even be the worst idea to let the non-emergency police line people know that there's a guy lurking around offering tours to give them a heads up. You never know when a small tip will turn into a big breakthrough & possibly save lives. Even if it seems silly it's always better to be safe than sorry.
I'm an ex-cop. You're right to get a physical description and make/model of the car, but the most important thing to get is the license plate number.
@@remaguire A picture or video would be nice too.
Most important thing is to keep yourself safe above all else, x cop.
Living in Prince George for 12 years those stories you read and truely they are true. Please if your still in that area .. please leave .. I would of told you about that had I knew you were going that way. You got me Praying for ya and I hope there are thousands more praying for you too.. You are a very Special Lady to a lot of us so please be careful ok !
There have been a couple of times I got that sinking feeling in my gut and I took off, and I hear your voice in my head. Thank you sharing the pictures and what’s going on with you now. Please stay safe
Blessings to you and Capone 💖🐾💖
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. You saw and your subconscious picked up on non-verbal cues that, when put together, led you quickly to your conclusion dude ain't right.
He was deliberating in his own mind whether he should act and looking for an opportunity to do so. You never let him get that far and vamped before he could.
You are a natural. We're hiring! !!!
Take care and continue to enjoy this amazing adventure! :)
Thank you for this vote of confidence Wally! Yeah, something was not right with that guy.. I actually left town after that and drove miles and miles away...
Amen!!!
BE RUDE!!!! Who the hell are they that we're supposed to make them happy?! BE RUDE!
Olive Moskal unfortunately it is programmed in us females.we must deprogram this shit
sunny spaces yep. Programmed by men to make us easier to rape, push around, etc. I have a t-shirt that says, "BITCH- it's not just for breakfast anymore!"
You did correctly leaving right away, don't incite anger or danger by being rude or aggressive.
I hate my polite training! It lets predators get too close. I'm gonna practice being rude today. Abrupt.
Thank U, Olive.
That would have creeped me right out! He also could be another ted bundy..why can’t us girls be free to be alone without some nut-job bothering us?!
My thoughts exactly.
cindy haddock We can't be free cuz men think we're just property....
Carolyn get off from that road if you have to drive all night.He is probably following you
.
Thank you for sharing this. I just took my first long solo trip up the east coast. I have been worried about the gut instinct kicking in and me being able to hear it. I had friends driving an hour and a half up to see me at this campground and to go out to dinner. I pulled into the campground and immediately was on alert. I was "judging" people on their looks and on the rv park itself. I left...called my friends and we ended up driving back to their house and I stayed there. Sometimes you have to "judge" others. I don't regret making that decision. The campground might have been perfectly fine but I knew that i would not get a good night sleep if I stayed there.
Now I see the importance of being able to drive away rather than pack trailer and leave
Always trust your gut. Your brain gathers information on a subconscious level, we need to listen to the information it supplies. God bless.
Back in the fifties when people hitchhiked it is safe to say your gut feeling is right. Out of ten rides you might encounter an act of predatory behavior at least once. Those billboard signs were there for a reason.
Cal Ryan I totally freaked out and, can't get over the story my husband said that after he worked at the bowling alley as a pin settlement, they'd close up and he'd hitchhike home. He was 11!!!!!!! But, that was in 1953.
Carolyn, you are right to be rude. Don't spare the feelings. Things happened when I was young and afraid of hurting feelings. If that were today it would be different. Women are smarter today and thank goodness for that. And I would not be alone without my Smith and Wesson. I don't care who likes it or who doesn't .Women are not able to protect themselves unless you have the physical strength of a man. I don't . I'm 5 ' 2 and and 120 pounds. I'll keep my gun thank you.
Yup! I carry a 20 gauge and I don’t miss my target.
Whether you are in a van, rv, trailer, in a house, or even on the phone, never tell a stranger that you are alone. If anybody ever asks you if you are alone that is definitely a red flag 🚩
Thank god you listened to your gut. I’ll show my daughter this video. Well put. Don’t ever Doubt when you feel a
dangerous field of energy around a person and don’t try to rationalize it just to soon as you feel it leave
Carolyn, you and I both knew right away that the second he asked if you were alone, he was a threat. Good instincts.
He wasn't harmless. We women are lucky to be in tune with our instincts and intuition. You're trusting yours. Good!
Carolyn I am so glad that you follow your gut. You have to stay safe because you are too important to all your friends and those who follow your travels. As for men being inappropriate to Women in any way, It is never OK or innocent. I have walked this earth for many years now and too many men enjoy seeing how far they can go and how uncomfortable they can make a Woman feel. This is wrong, it is barbaric and if it is done in my presence there will be hell to pay. It all boils down to respect and there is far to little respect being shown to one another in this world of computer interaction and social media. People say hurtful damaging things as they hide behind the keyboard. These are the actions of a bully and they are damaging to the innocent.
Stay safe honey & your never traveling alone. You have all of us praying for you & God is always with you. Thank you & Capone for this great adventure you are taking us on. Happy trails
There are about 1200 missing or murdered Aboriginal women in the north of Canada. Dating back to 1980. It's a preditors haven, not enough police and lots of hiding places and it's easy to make someone disappear out there with no witnesses. It's not just the Bears you have to worry about up north.
Corinne McLeod no not 1200, about 18, all native girls and women, I lived up there for 50 years, all hitchhikers, do not hitchhike!
I'm not talking about just that stretch of highway I'm talking about up north in general, get your facts straight this is easily looked up. Aboriginal women are murdered all over Canada. It's been on the news alot over the last few years.
Corinne McLeod
Wow I didn't believe you at first that so many Aboriginal women went missing so I googled it and it says that actually over 4000 Aboriginal women went missing in Canada within the last few decades. That literally blew my mind that so many Aboriginal women are going missing.
Sad isn't it, can't say that the police have killed themselves trying to solve these murders. I know the statistics vary depending on what areas they are including. Just wanted Caroylin to be aware and stay safe.
Makes me mad. Why is this tolerated? If I lived up there I'd find out who's behind it. There are ways. That's all I'm saying.
Carolyn, good job listening to your inner voice and getting out of there. There is a lot of predators on the Hwy’s and rest stops and wilderness looking for a easy victim. I am glad you are being wise and got out of that area. Your right never tell anyone your traveling alone.
Carolyn, I am home bound and so I am an avid “Investigative Discovery” watcher. I have seen a special on one of their shows regarding the “Trail of Tears” disappearances. It is very sad, and to my knowledge, as of yet unsolved. Please for the love of God, be careful. As a survivor of rape, I never leave home without a gun. I would feel so much better knowing that you had one. Definitely trust your instincts. God bless you and I pray that he keeps you safe. Hugs to Capone. I have 3 myself.
Sheila Lowe I also am ID savy, and have learned a lot about preditory behaviors. I pray for the victims of violence and their families as a special intention when at Mass and often. Good day and take care 😃
T Gately, I think the biggest reason that I watch those shows, is when the perpetrators are caught, (sadly, some not for decades), not only to see justice served, but ultimately see good prevail over evil. I was touched by murder in my own life, long story. You never get over it. Thank you for your comment and prayers for all that are touched by evil. I too pray for them. Let us also pray that God keeps Carolyn and Capone safe on their journey. God bless you and keep you safe also. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🦋
Sheila Lowe Blessings to you as well. You are absolutely right 😃
You are being a good example of how a woman can be safe solo on the road. Being aware of where you are what's around & how you feel (gut). Acting accordingly. Good.
Thank you Berta!
Always, always trust your gut. So glad you’re safe!
Always trust your gut.
These are the kinds of things we, as women need to hear. Particularly those of us that live on the road. This was a very calm, well articulated video. No drama, none of the other garbage that line1 screwed up guy mentions in his video. Keep sharing!
Amen Carolyn!!! I could just hug you. Over my 56 years, I've had that 'gut feeling' and it was right every time. Never ignore it. Stay safe out there dear girl. Love your videos!
you should report it to the RCMP just as a 'heads up' that stretch of road is 'legendary' in a bad way.
So glad you listened to your gut Carolyn!
Thanks for putting out that valuable message.
Great video! Stay safe out there. ❤️
Please don’t go off the main roads searching for camping spots... I have followed may You Tubers in vans and RVs traveling up to Alaska and back and they all park right Near the highway or businesses in small towns... It is different than down in the lower 48. The lack of people traveling the AlCan highway or the other one create a big vulnerability. I’m sorry you can’t be as free as you were down South on the back roads... if you went for a walk, someone could disable your motor while you’re away from your vehicle... it’s a different situation up there, save your trust for the more populated areas.
Hi Carolyn thats creepy. Trust your gut feeling.
That is my experience traveling the Cassier and AlCan. This is true wilderness where anything can happen with few outposts many of which are closed. I advise going to visitors centers to find out places that are open and camping in settlements only. Predation from animals and humans is a real thing here. There was just a couple murdered near Liard hot springs on the AlCan. Their vehicle broke down....
No, people are scary, I stay away from the fuckers. The woods never harmed me.
Fred Stahl - with a face like hers She has nothing to worry about 😊
Nada Nada Really? That old boy taunt? Let’s assume you’re God’s Gift to Women. How sad for you.
I decided about 10 years ago that I will no longer feel uncomfortable so that someone else can feel comfortable, when I looked at it that way, it made it easier to be "rude"...I think it comes with age and we need to tech young people especially women this ...when they are young ...before life changing events take place.
Yes, always trust your intuition. It will never steer you wrong. Creepy as the hair on the back of your neck tingles....... It's not a laughing matter. This is a very, very serious matter.
Be careful and always go with your gut. I think you should go somewhere else to sleep tonight. Like my friend used to say. His name was Ray. He said if men are nice and not harmful, they usually won't approach a woman who is alone somewhere vulnerable because they don't want to scare her. He said and if a guy approaches you somewhere and asks things like "are you alone" or "how long will you be here" most likely he is up to no good. Ray (God Bless his Soul) was an ex cop so I know he knew what he was talking about. I have always kept that in mind. He said never admit you are alone. So you have good thinking. Believe it or not a lot of women answer truthfully.
Plus, you kept thinking about it after so it makes me think you sensed something. He sounded Creepy.
Be Safe! You have me hooked on your videos. I can't wait until you post your next one lol!
Shirley Anderson lol yes I saw that but I was still telling her in case of another time she happens upon that situation. I saw that she said she never tells anybody where she is at the moment.
Aztec Girl zzz
I agree with you about not being so freaking nice as a woman!
As a recovering people pleaser = this has been a huge challenge for me during the first half of my life!!!
And something I am working hard to change in the 2nd half!
yogawick 👍great post!!! Loved the "recovering people pleaser" there are far to many of us out there that can relate to that :) I just hadn't had a title for it until now, thanks
May the Almighty continue to bless and protect you. Peace.
Geez, and i've been creeped out by random killings lately, but your story is alarming. Never let a stranger approach you alone in a deserted place as a female. Lock up and get the hell out of there.
You are so good about paying attention to your Gut. I'm glad your ok. Your fast on your feet saying you were not alone. Thank you for reminding us all about trusting our gut instinct. That is sad about the girls that are missing. They poor families who don't have closure. Omg. Your so right about women putting others before ourself. That is hard to do with all the training we have had. Thank you so much for this great lesson.
You did the right thing.
"Are you traveling alone?" definitely falls into the category, "Just because the question is asked, does not mean that it must be answered!"
Why would any stranger need to know that? No positive reason I know.
Carolyn, You did good, gal. Trust that gut. Even if it turns out to be no big deal, it usually never hurts to follow it, though when you don't, I've experienced for myself how things can go sideways. It can change drastically or even end a life and I'm glad it didn't go that way for you, Dear. The guy did fit the profile of a suspicious character and didn't seem that smart either, as he gave himself away by leering into and at your motor home and hanging about. Sizing the situation up, I'd say he might be part of a group of nappers. He may have been thinking about the motor home, if they have any stray plates to exchange with yours, so they could drive it away after he takes you on a "tour". As far as Capone, I'm thinking, "Yep he's friendly now, but if the guy emitted any bad intentions toward you, Capone would sniff that out in a hurry". Give him some nice scratches for me and Keep Trusting Your Instincts. : )
I just posted some links... 2011 Madison Scott disappeared from Highway 16 aka Highway of Tears...check out the links I posted... been following the Highway of Tears disappearance for quite sometime..
I'd rather piss them off by leaving than leaving tied up in a trunk!!
That sounds very suspicious, I think your gut was on target. The fact that he asked if you are traveling alone was just too weird!! Don't take any chances, these guys are pretty sly !!
As you said he asked "are you alone?" My radar totally went up! Why would a man want to know that? Especially up front. There's no need to know that of a stranger. Good job trusting your gut!!!
Thank you for posting this, i think many women do not TRUST their inner voice and are conditioned to be NICE and do that instead Many lives could be saved if women prioritized their lives and understand that VIOLENCE against them is a reality and the Trail of TEARS is very dangerous. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS TO WOMEN. I have traveled throughout the world and stayed safe, not out of luck but always listening to my gut/intuition and being reasonably cautious, never walk in fear---NEVER. I never compromised my safety. Second thing is NEVER SECOND GUESS YOURSELF.
I live in BC, The Highway of Tears is tragic, why the entire country is not completely outraged is beyond me. Yes, as women we're taught from day one to ignore our instincts and to be polite. There is an amazing book called The Gift of Fear by Gavin Debecker that EVERY woman should read. Never be afraid to react when in doubt and listen to that inner voice! It's instinctual and it's primal, it's there to keep us safe. Good for you for getting out of that situation.
Keep your Bear Spray on your hip and at night on the stand. Although Wasp Spray is cheaper it has a more concentrated stream and won't fog up the entire RV.
Good to know Thanks!!
Please do not use bear spray on anything but a bear. It is too strong, and in some areas you can be prosecuted for illegal use. On the other hand, you can not use pepper spray on a bear, it is ineffective. It works great against an attacking human.
good idea with the wasp spray. Pila (Thanks in Lakota)!
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6
Grammathia
If it's my life or his...........
I'M USING BEAR SPRAY !!
I'm glad you just left. 💔💔
"Highway of Tears" yes, many women have gone missing over the years. 💔💔💔
Oh Carolyn! Coming in two years later -- I would have done exactly the same thing, down to your answer. When someone only asks you if you're alone and actually waits for you to answer -- it is WAY creepy.
I'm never "alone" for whoever's asking. I just gave this response to a guy that suddenly appeared outside a building I was working in. I told him, "No," and he actually said, "You look like you're alone." I told him to have a nice night & left to go into the locked building.
He was probably working for my boss, but without an introduction... and that singular "Are you alone?" question... I'm real "unfriendly".
I'm so thankful for your response and safety. It would have been an awfully sad story without you around to tell it!
Thank you for helping the folks doing the road life!
Thanks for sharing this Carolyn. You are SO right when you say that women are trained to be "nice" and not to be "rude" and that's something that I used to struggle with a lot. Smile, be nice, don't make a scene, don't be impolite. Well sometimes, like you said...you just gotta say, uh uh, no way, I'm outta here. I'm so glad you have a good gut instinct and that you are keeping yourself safe! Hugs and happy travels!
Glad you're okay! Wish you had pictures... I like Nomadic Fanatic's setup with security cameras all around connected to a DVR that records 24/7... so you've always got a record of anything that happens.
Get the heck out of there, take more populated route. Like the security cameras around the rig, nomadic fanatic has right idea!
Nomadic fanatic had the right idea, butvhe just did it because he had idiots harassing him
Because I said so!!! She need to see about putting some cameras up on her vehicle..
Keep up the good work of trusting your gut
Thank goodness 😅 that gave me the chills Carolyn super not ok the trail of tears 😭
You’re doing the right thing - always trust your instincts (they will never fail you). I’m a bit shook for you - I see this a nudge from the divine 💫 to be on guard more often.. Be safe! Continue to enjoy the journey 🚐 Thanks for sharing this with us 👍🏽
LAST WEEK (APRIL 2021)THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED FULL CELL SERVICE THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE AREA. I'm so glad you listened to your gut.
When in doubt, take a hike! Get out and figure it out later...if all you did was hurt his feelings, then that’s livable. Glad nothing else happened...you stay safe!
Carolyn you need to go to Goodwill and buy the biggest pair od mens shoes and couple pair of kids shoes..outside your door as soon as you open it...always leave on noise on in camper...you need second chair..never..NEVER..give appearance of being alone..doesn't hurt to every now and then Holla or say..what honey? It is with the other ammo.
Adding the kids shoes and an extra LARGE DOG FOOD BOWL is a great idea. The man, the kids and the dog could be just within hearing distance for all that guy would know. Also, when talking to anyone, it's "WE went to the museum, WE are from Nevada, WE are heading out in just a few"
Don't let random people make friends with your dog, keep him close until you feel comfortable around those people.
I always tell my kids to listen to that voice inside you. If it feels wrong, feels creepy, or is an unwelcome feeling, you listen! My daughter's and grandkids know. We need to keep empowering each other. Thank you for a good lesson!!💜
Four yrs ago when you made this mention over the highway of Tears Women had gotten empowered to stand up and be counted and you still stand up and be counted. Bravo Carolyn Bravo!
Your camera would have made him back off. I'll never forget that creepy guy in your video when you were swapping RV's. I still wonder what the heck that guy was doing, but that time, he did get scared of Capone. Always be on guard. Keep your bear spray handy. Be safe and enjoy the beautiful scenery and tranquility.
Yes always trust your gut instinct. Especially a stranger. That man definitely sounded creepy. And to ask if you're traveling alone. Red flag. TMI Too much Information. To ask a woman that anywhere anytime. Definitely time to go! Good for you Caroline. Safe Travels.
CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE?????
Very proud of ya lady keep smiling don’t let things bring you down or spoil your trip through our beautiful country love your broadcast always be safe enjoy your journey (kev)
DON'T PUT OTHER STRANGERS COMFORT BEFORE YOUR OWN!!! YOU FIRST!! this is the message!
I would never say I'm alone and you are not alone Capone is your traveling companion. Your instincts may save your life.
Years ago, a friend recommended a book by someone that started profiling for the FBI. He wrote that society teaches women to be too nice and to always try and make peace. A lot of women who are abused by their significant other are killed AFTER they leave their partner. The abuser convinces the woman to have one last conversation for one more chance...the woman out of guilt will give in and that is when the woman is murdered......thank you for listening to your therapist, thank you for respecting your self and your gut and being reasonable . I hope to catch up to you one day on the road.
I just found your Highway of Tears video, glad you shared it. If you reported the man, his car or his license plate, you prevented numerous future murders by reporting this to police. Thank you for that. Best, Helen
This was one of the most touching ones far as posting with the young girls missing. Sad to say the least & praying for those lost victims to be found safely & reunited back with there loved ones one day. Be careful out there while there is a lot of good people out there, so is bad.. And I'm glad you trusted your gut..
Continue using your instinct. Thank you the reminder. Stay safe always.
Carolyn, you're sharp. I'm so glad you got the hell out of there. Thanx for helping me turn off the 'nice' when some punk makes me feel 'icky'. I'm an old man, but it happens to me here in Concord, CA.
Thank you! I have said and thought these things for years! As women we have the best gift of great intuition. We need to listen to our guts.
I would suggest letting the authorities know. You never know what he was doing or has done. You may save a life.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal information. I wish I can be like you.
Thank you for sharing this important encounter! This has encouraged me to become more socially aware and be confident in my caution and much more aware of my surroundings!!
Great therapy lesson Carolyn! Many (most) girls are trained to be polite and to put other's comfort ahead of our own. I was trained to respect others above all else, but my parents forgot (?) to teach me that respect for myself is most important. Thanks for your lesson shared, I will remember it while on the road especially...and daily!
It was harmless....because you listened to your gut and got up and left. Good for you! And good message...
Well said Betty Horn!
Betty Horn Glad she trusted her instinct to not open the door and to get out of there but for my taste he got to close.
I just posted some links ... I've been following the disappearance of women on the Highway of Tears aka Highway 16 for quite sometime...
I don't know that it was totally harmless. She has bad feelings in the after shock.
Good instincts 👍. Continued safe travels. ☺
Carolyn, In the mid 1970 I made a trip to Prince Rupert and Stewart in BC. On the way in I noticed a nicely dressed, young crippled native lady sitting beside the road at New Hazelton. She had a cardboard sign on her lap. On my return several days later, she was still sitting there. Of course, with a family, there no room for her in my car. I have often wondered what happened to her. I'm glad your encounter didn't escalate. You did the right thing. Yet licence plate number. and thanks for sharing.
I just had to go back & watch this video as I remember when you first posted it and actually I’ve watched it several times since you first posted it!! And I’ve actually watched it several times since you first posted it!
I watch it to remind myself to stay vigilant no matter where I am ♥️♥️
You cannot fight a Man, I hope you have a equalizer. You told him you were alone when you said I just went to the Museum instead of we went to the museum.
Newton Washinton so true
We forget how much information we give away in short but truthful answers.
oh yeah....I can.. I've taken out a men 6 ft and 250 lbs....Stun Gun baby.
@@SinMore Those won't always work on crazed or drugged out men. Get - a - gun.
Good instinct
Its a great lesson
Excellent lesson and one I live my life by. Much better to be rude to a harmless guy than dead because you were polite to a creep!
Be VERY careful Carolyn ok,? Very careful...♥️♥️
Andrea, I always am!! My instincts might be ahead of my emotions sometimes, but I knew to get the heck out! thank you!
Always listen to your gut feeling!
WHY do men think they need to talk to a woman alone? Ugh! Don't be creepy or lurking!
So.
No man should ever approch a woman?
Let's not give into fear.
@@ronsauceify not when she looks like she doesn't want to be bothered. Can't you tell when a woman wants to be social?
Exactly...They be trolling to see if they can attack you..Smfh..Sad world we live in but I"m glad this lady made it to safety..I've been following that Trail of Tears story for years now and it's never been solved..Maybe it never will..But either way women in that area need to be aware. Peace and Blessings!
My husband and I live in North Pole, which is 13 miles south of Fairbanks. I think I remember you saying you were going to come up here, and I know you post a few weeks after you leave a spot. It would be awesome if we could meet up in Fairbanks! If you come up here, be sure to visit Pioneer Park, and the most awesome RVs, converted vans, converted buses and all kids of things like that, camp at the Wal Mart here. It's worth driving through the parking lot just to see all the interesting things folks are doing on the road!
Word. your advice goes for everybody, not just women. preach it, Carolyn, and please keep preaching it. - C
Highway of Tears is mostly younger girls that were hitchhiking and went missing. Still always best to stay safe and away from people who raise any red flags. Remote areas can be sketchy for women traveling alone no matter where you travel.
Check out all the missing and murdered indigenous girls and women that have not found any justice in their disappearance and life taken in Canada. Talking about over 1000. It's a huge epidemic there. Please be safe. Its beautiful there, but you should be cautious there. Aloha
EXCELLENT .... EXCELLENT VIDEO !!!! I completely agree with you about "Carolyn's Lesson of the Day to all of the women out here"
I'll watch the doc. Surrounding you in prayer and light! You're good Girl! Smart. Trust your gut. Thank you. Maureen
