I wish I had time to listen to this, but I have been too busy getting ready to go on the road. My biggest fear was doing things alone. I am now going to face those fears head on. The funny part is, I am not feeling any fear about it. Instead, I am feeling free for the first time. I saved it for when I start questioning myself. Thanks Carolyne.
I have a lot of work to do. I’ve been caregiving since 2004. My dad passed 10 years ago, and my mom is going into a nursing home this week hopefully. I’m so burnt out, it will take awhile to adjust to living alone. I’m 66 and single forever. I’m looking forward to a new chapter, after the adjustments. You are, and have been such an inspiration to me!
Fear is an epidemic in the US. I watched this video to try to understand why everyone is afraid of everything. You are a great teacher and have given me much to consider. Resounding yes. You’ve taught me something so I’ll try and be more empathetic when people express fear.Thank you. My wife and I are off to spend the winter in Mexico in our van tomorrow! There’s a fear to play with! But we are experienced travelers…Cheers.
Oh, I wish I was doing that! My husband is too afraid to winter in Mexico, but I've been researching that for years and find many more positives than negatives. But I don't want to break up, even though I hate snow.
@@normaevett it’s a shame because Mexico is great. Inexpensive campgrounds $20 with all facilities tons of free truck stops on the freeways for quick overnight stops and last winter while they were freezing at Quartzsite we were swimming in the pacific. It makes for a lovely contrast, winter in mainland Mexico and summers boondocking and visiting friends across the US
Fabulous video you gave me the push to jump into my dream and I just traveled from uk to Portugal driving around myself never driving alone and never on driving on the other side of the road. So proud of myself I did it thank you so much I am glad I found you many years ago ❤
Hell yeah this resonated with me. Thanks for breaking this down into small steps, helping me understand how to work through the fear and start DOING! Can’t thank you enough Carolyn. This is exactly what I needed today ❤
Hell yes! Almost left after mouse attack. This is perfect timing for this video. Flagstaff to havasu . Thank goodness for Jess vanlife to be a friend and your video
I want to to travel this winter. Get out of Indiana for the winter. I got all my stuff i'm just scared to pull the trigger... And my dog hates getting in the car. She's fine once she is in. Ive even got my jeep made into my sleeping area. I've got homework to do. Thanks Carolyn!
Getting to the foundations of our fears is crucial. So often it is fear itself that we’re afraid of it. We don’t like that uncomfortable feeling. Love the active nature of this video. We’ve been silent watchers of your van life videos, but this one is different - and worthy of the sub!
Hell yeah 🤗 I live in east TN and have a dream of hiking the AT… I fear creepy people, snakes, ticks and wildlife… I did finally hike about 4 miles and was damn proud… but have not been back for over a year… I had been doing some homework and starting to feel less fearful… Walked Cades Cove and saw bears and coyotes and survived 🤣… I would love to do an overnight on the AT… Baby steps …
Carolyn, I thought of you often this summer as I stepped wayyy out of my comfort zone and drove across country. Your bravery gave me fortitude in the most uncomfortable situations. I am afraid of heights and mountains and I did them both! Now, i'm home safe and sound in my flat lands again, knowing that I can do it! I can overcome my fears! Hell yes!! You ROCK!
Sat down and thought for several days. I now have top goals. And a path to met them. Debt free. Eat good eat cheep. Watch gas and food expenses to get out of debt. 🎉
I'm really loving your channel, thank you for all the wisdom you pass down to us all! This reminds me of step work I did in AA....LOVE IT! This is something i knew, but have forgotten to re-do for myself and my fears....LOVE IT ALL!!!!! Stay safe out there!
This was very helpful. I am in the process of searching for my RV and hoping that I will soon be able to start living my dream. I realize I have some unspoken fears but I think I have some of the tools that will help me thanks to this video. I am 69 and will be out on my own with nobody else to look after for the first time in my life. I took care of both of my parents until they passed away, and to be honest its a little scary but exciting at the same time.
hey Carolyn - thought that was very helpfull. Well done. Is important to follow the steps you described, and then build up knowledge and skills and experiences. Think it is important to remember that small steps are sterps too, and it all adds to change and new experiences, out of the fear. I agree with your analysis of the causes of these fears. Very helpfull video - many thanks! greetz Jason
I'm afraid of skunks, poisin ivy and poison algae more than of bears. Much more likely to be hurt by the former when I'm in the nature. I'm afraid of identity theft, too, but am well educated and keep learning because scammers keep evolving. (They'd be pretty disappointed victimizing me. I'm broke.) I recommend AARPs podcast The Perfect Scam.
Carolyn when you are in the Forest you need to put out two outside chairs so it looks like there is at least two people there be safe I Love you and Love watching you on your ventures
Thanks for a great video, Carolyn. Nothing beats education, education, education in overcoming fear. Reading, watching videos, talking to others with experience - all very helpful in breaking the paralysis of fear. Love your process of self-analysis and positive actions to help oneself. Happy travels!
As a retired ICU RN I am very used to considering worst case scenario possibilities and it was an every day work practice to evaluate and try to prevent those possibilities. I don't think we can dismiss them but we can use those thoughts to prevent many possible disasters. I think too many people blithely disregard or downplay issues that may crop up with solo traveling, including the actual costs of the lifestyle, what they will do if their rig breaks down or God forbid is totalled, the possibility of illness of either themselves or their pets; and yes, the crazies out there. I am more wary of nutjobs than I am of wild animals---I co-exist with bears, coyotes, and other creatures on my own property right now and find them more predictable than homo sapiens, lol. We're only casual part-timers and wouldn't consider full-time for too many reasons to list here (most involving health issues but I also love my home and gardens) but really enjoy your channel, Carolyn. We were up in your neck of the woods last week, spent some time at Green Lakes State Park. Thank you for a very interesting discussion---food for thought for anyone considering solo travel!
I wanted to backpack the AT and knew I had an irrational fear of bears. I joined the Appalachian Bear Rescue, took their online classes and now I hope to see a bear in the wild. Education works! 🐻 Thanks, Carolyn!
Thanks for making this video Carolyn. I have been wanting to rv full-time for 2 years now. I already sold my house and I'm starting to sell off my things in storage. My goal is to be debt free and to travel, but now that It's all starting to get real , I'm back and forth about should I do this or not. I've never traveled outside my home state by myself and my biggest fear is not encountering animals but breaking down and encountering a weird person.. I have this saying " I'd rather be in a cage with a lion than to be in a cage with a person because at least I know whats coming from the lion..but I agree with you that it boils down to having insecurities and to have a plan if worst case scenario should arise. Thanks again for putting my mind at ease. Im moving forward towards my goals.
Great video, I’m at a crossroads and this video could not have come at a better time, I’m grateful for your content, you have given me much to consider and a process to noodle on it!
Thank you for this video. I have recently gotten on the road and feel afraid sometimes. But now I feel like you have given me some tools to work on that fear.
I am not afraid of being alone. I am not afraid of not having enough money. My fear is humans. I am afraid of other humans and their threat. Being out alone and being cornered by another human. The evil lives in the human mind not any animal that I know of.
I am at a retreat camping with a group of people working on living more and fearing less by sharing their experience, strength and hope with one another. That is exactly what you are doing. How cool is that?
I love this video you made. This is great. I want to do more hiking. My fear is bears. It is rooted from videos/news and stories of people that have been attacked by bears. HELL YESSSS!!!! I am beginning to get it. I don't feel confident using my bear spray if I need to. i will be saving this vid and reviewing again and again Thank you! 😁
Great video! I like that book you shared a few years ago about the Gift of Fear. - training my gut to pay attention helped alleviate my fears of traveling alone.
I did have some "aha" moments. I will do these steps, thank you. One fear that has been voiced by many when I say I want to be a solo female nomad in a van at least for a while is, "What about the psychos who live out in the woods? They need food,etc. You'll be a target." I respond with it's more dangerous walking down the streets of a city than out in the National Forests/BLM land. But I guess I do need to prepare for that worst case now. Also, I've seen in one of your videos that you hung either food or trash to not encourage a bear that was in the area. Is this something you do regularly? Is that something one should do if living in a van when in bear country?
I've lived in Bear country, slammed the door on the bear, because it went for the garbage when I thought it was kids teasing me, so I slammed the door on a bear. I told my daughters if they didn't like being belittled by a boss or person of authority, a parent or guardian, put on your ear plugs, People, you are in charge of what you listen to, Nobody will care that I'm hearing impaired, I listen to what makes sense at the options and choices you do have. Nobody has to like my art, I have to like it. Nobody was born a mistake. I can't wait for a vacation!
Great advice and yes, Dixie is a wonderful people from whom to learn. She is honest and really gets into what the important things to know are. Another good video Carolyn - you never disappoint.
Hello Carolyn. Thanks so much for this video. I'm terrified of getting covid again. PTSD terrified. Spending 43 days in the hospital really scared me. I tried going to the fall covered bridge festival. I admit I froze, couldn't do it. I've always camped and hiked alone, on my property though. I'm going to keep working on myself. I am seeing a therapist for help. This video put things in perspective, thank you again. 🙂
This made me think of the what if moments. Playing out the situation in my head. I buried my truck and trailer in a spring, I had no reception my ac went out and it was 100 degrees. A slight panic then I played out in my head how I can come up with solutions. This was a fear breaking down and having what I need to work it out. It does build confidence. I calmed myself and then I could think. Ty for the advice.
Not so much afraid, but I am torn between my Children and Grandchildren. I am in Northern Idaho and Have my youngest Daughter and Grandkids in Redding Ca. Feel very torn. I love both places. Been traveling and trying to split my time. Not so much afraid of nature. Can get scary yes. Much respect for nature. Family is my hold back.
I think my biggest fear today is other drivers on the road in a hurry. We are in a no blinker state with tropical storm Ophelia. Hunkering down in a safe place until early tomorrow. Great advice about writing down goals and fears. I’m finding I have a fear of people with no common sense. Take me to the wilderness 😊
Great video Carolyn! Love the way you broke this down. So many women (and men) out there are afraid of being alone in different situations. I feel like this will help so many start to look at fear in a different, more healthy way. 🙌🙌❤❤
HELL YES! I've been watching your videos since 2018. I think of your travels often, and wish you safe. though I know your knowledge brings you far. It truly is a mindset.. to get past these fears and learn. unexperienced, and the unknown scares people. LEARN as much as you can, it'll bring you far! Thank you!! I needed a reminder of this today. I'm going to a memorial for a friend that passed and seeing hundreds of people is really affecting me... but I know I can do this. my fear has nothing to do with said people. it's to do with me.
Under most circumstances, advice like that would've cost us hundreds in therapy dollars! This counseling is GOLD! Thank you so much for helping us to stay in perspective. HELL YES! And YES again. (The trail designations that you mentioned: "JMT and PCT" reminded me of ancient NYC subway designations: IRT, BMT, and IND).
Hello Carolyn..I'm not afraid of being alone..I am alone now & I do travel every year to go see my mom in Illinois..a 2 day drive...so i am thinking of getting an RV & doing lots more traveling...love your videos
I think my fear of hitting the road is that I won’t be able to afford it and handle doing everything alone as I am disabled. I’ve lived as a nomad before and did it quite well and I was much younger then lol
Yes! I'm afraid I won't be able to get away or take care of myself. Thank you for this. I'm planning on going hiking and camping alone and lots of fears are coming up.

100 forms of fear! And one that cures them all- faith
The funny part is, I started this lifestyle out of fear. My fear of people. I'm working on camping alone, well me and my dog. You know, like you do.
Hell Yes! Always trust your gut.

I am afraid of running out of money. And of course insurance coverage cost.
I hope this helps you .

amazing video Carolyn I really enjoy watching you're video
Thanks so much
This made me think of the what if moments.
Playing out the situation in my head.
I buried my truck and trailer in a spring, I had no reception my ac went out and it was 100 degrees.
A slight panic then I played out in my head how I can come up with solutions.
This was a fear breaking down and having what I need to work it out.
It does build confidence.
I calmed myself and then I could think.
Ty for the advice.
Hell yes. Yes, it resonates.
Not so much afraid, but I am torn between my Children and Grandchildren. I am in Northern Idaho and Have my youngest Daughter and Grandkids in Redding Ca. Feel very torn. I love both places. Been traveling and trying to split my time. Not so much afraid of nature. Can get scary yes. Much respect for nature. Family is my hold back.
I think my biggest fear today is other drivers on the road in a hurry. We are in a no blinker state with tropical storm Ophelia. Hunkering down in a safe place until early tomorrow. Great advice about writing down goals and fears. I’m finding I have a fear of people with no common sense. Take me to the wilderness 😊
Oh no... Hope you're staying safe.. but I know you are, because we texted this am. LOL
Thank you my friend.
Great information 😊❤

Of course hell yes you are making lots of sense.
Good morning friend! Good, glad it makes sense. Thanks for the feedback..
Yes that is resonating with me

Hello Carolyn..I'm not afraid of being alone..I am alone now & I do travel every year to go see my mom in Illinois..a 2 day drive...so i am thinking of getting an RV & doing lots more traveling...love your videos
Glad to be here. I can benefit from your experience and knowledge before i set out on my escape. Thank you!❤
Wonderful!
Thank you, I am more insecure around people than a bear. Great video!
Yep. Same here
I think my fear of hitting the road is that I won’t be able to afford it and handle doing everything alone as I am disabled. I’ve lived as a nomad before and did it quite well and I was much younger then lol
I fear one or more humans over taking me, my van and leaving me on foot...but I travel alone anyway... Thanks for this video
Managing worst case isn't paranoid, it's called "risk managment". It's a business tool which is excellent for personal use.
Hell Yes 🎉❤😂
