      Sometimes I stay places for a while. I was in the same area of Washington (The Olympic Peninsula) for over 2 months. When I was camphosting in Oregon, I was there for 4 months, while making videos. I had someone try and find me and it was terrifying. So now, i don't care if my videos are 6 weeks behind because I know that the crazies are also 6 weeks behind me.
      Make sense?!
      I've been asked this question so many times. Even on this video.
      I think I should just stop saying the date in my videos and then you guys would never know.
      Then I'll just have a bunch of people like "WhEN WaS tHiS rEcOrDeD?!"
      Lol I can't win.
      In the end, I'm safer because of it and that's all that matters. ❤

    Traveled many miles on bumpy dirt roads in my grandpas old GMC pickup truck.
