    I am SO proud of you! We all fear the unknown no matter what age or gender. You kicked solo campings butt! I was jealous of your rainy read day. There simply is not better way to calm your mind and reset your soul! Thanks for taking us along for the adventure sweetheart!❤

    I agree on the solo trips. It takes a lot to just go but it does reset you. I went this last week for 3 days solo . Went fishing, hiking and just relaxing.

    So nice to see you appreciate what Connor taught you and that you get emotional a bit over it. I know when my wife and I finally land on a trailer camper we will be total newbies, even though I’ve done some camping with my best friend.

  • @sportsabsorb6844
    @sportsabsorb6844 5 месяцев назад

    That was beautiful. Alone time brings all those thoughts and reminders…alone travel, dad’s stroke…Connor’s patient and loving kindness towards you sharing his world. Those were sweet tears with lots of emotions ~ best of all, you all successfully made it through…can’t lie, I shed a few with you!
    PS: maybe next solo trip wait to let the audience know where you were specifically staying as you are departing. Lot a crazy out there.

  • @robinjames2481
    @robinjames2481 5 месяцев назад +2

    Everyone should camp alone at least a few times, it's amazing time to get to know yourself. Love the videos, always have fun as you both do.

  • @jimmbling

    @sgebert8491 5 месяцев назад +3

    Good for you! The first time I took our truck camper out solo, I went to the Two Hearted Campground in the U.P. I was a little nervous so I put two chairs out by the fire pit so people would assume I wasn't alone. I also had bear spray for bear and anything else I might need it for....lol. It has always gone smoothly, but you do need to be aware. Take Care.

    @breecrawford7856 5 месяцев назад

    My first thought was Wow you are brave, but I really enjoyed seeing you succeed at everything. I understood exactly how you were feeling nervous about the dump. The biggest surprises about our abilities is just to TRY. My mom is 90, but she always says "You will never know what you can do unless you TRY....my motivation on a lot of things in my life. Yep....I cried with you...TEARS OF "YAY ME, I DID IT!" Love you and Connor so much!

      I'm a single woman whose camped alone for 9 years. In all that time I've had one issue. This guy lives in Pahrump Nevada and has been an issue for housed women too. He's been arrested.
      I do have actual dogs though, so that might be the difference.

    You did so great!! I love solo camping. I only have a minivan that I set up for camping and do not have to dump tanks. I would love to have a truck camper. What you did was a good thing. It’s important for us to be self reliant. We are better prepared for whatever situation we might find ourselves in alone without our partner. And kudos to Conner for teaching you the things you want to learn. This video was very well done by the way!! I enjoyed it very much!

    We are currently in camping in St. Ignace, and went exploring for campgrounds for the next time we’re here. We were checking out that same campground (loved it!), and when we came back to the camper, we turned on the TV to see you were there! Our paths crossed (sorta) again!

    • @LivingLargeCamping

    • @judypeeklueer5484
      @judypeeklueer5484 5 месяцев назад

      We stayed at a pull through, full hookups campground. Right across from Lake Michigan. Lots of big rigs. I prefer a little more rustic campground, but my husband liked it. I love St. Ignace though! Just made reservations for South Higgins Lake in October. I love to camp in the fall.

  • @sandrawood5909
    @sandrawood5909 5 месяцев назад +2

    As a solo female camper most of the time, I hear a lot of comments telling me it’s dangerous or in disbelief that I am comfortable alone. But.. I am comfortable alone. I don’t feel in danger. I love seeing the country and exploring. If I didn’t go alone, I would have missed so much. And I have much more to see. Enjoy your time alone!

    Amelia, you are such a cutie! 😊 And sometimes we gals just need some alone time, right? Absence makes Conner's heart grow fonder (wink, wink). You made me tear up after that dumping incident and giving a shout out to Conner 🥲 Every woman who drives solo with a camper should be self-reliant and confident enough to feel good about doing stuff like that. I feel you girl and kudos! Kudos to Conner too for loving you enough to show you how to dump appropriately.

    If it's any comfort, the worst part of camping with my travel trailer is the dump station! I am slow and a bit handicapped. Almost every time I get at least one or more behind me The last two times I told myself to stop getting anxious and don't rush it. No one is perfect so I don't need to be either!! lol Good job!

    I’m so stoked for you & can absolutely relate to your anxiety & pride! I bought my truck last year & bought my camper in March!
    I’m so grateful to everyone who teaches me something about my camper etc!
    I joined an online camping ladies FB group! It’s great to learn from & meet other solo women campers!

    Well, when your husband passes from cancer you either sell the truck camper you both used or you go solo. I just returned from a short trip to a local county park, baby steps. It was hard and emotional but I knew it was good for me. I will continue to try cause I know that is something I enjoy and David would have wished for me. Let’s do this together! PS, I totally get the dump station anxiety… sometimes people are rude.
