Gorgeous scenery. Know what you mean about talking in the tranquility of nature. Quiet is music too.
Thanks for your video. Very helpfull
So happy to hear that! Thanks for watching.
This makes me hopeful that I will find a way to enjoy trails again as a para. From one prairie girl to another, enjoy your mild winter!
I hope you find a way soon!! Depending on where you are located, there might be an adaptive organization near you with bikes to rent.
Thanks for another great video. Genius set up for your bike. You inspire me to think more about doing some solo camping. I'm an able-bodied, married female and my husband and I are in the process of doing a low-budget build in a new to us 2006 Sprinter - for traveling, not living fulltime. We travel together quite a bit, but I've only gone on one van trip alone out of necessity. I'm honestly just scared! Seeing what other women are doing solo is pushing me in the direction of planning a solo trip. Keep sharing your adventures and inspiring all types of people!! Safe travels.
It’s certainly daunting when you start solo travels, but just start with a small trip that you’re comfortable with. It’s amazing how quickly you’ll embrace it and feel good doing it. Thanks for supporting my channel and have a great time on your solo trip!
Great vid Lisa! You are so well prepared and have put so much thought into possible problems and solutions. Plus I think you're an engineering genius! Happy Travels!❤
Aw thanks! Yes, preparation is key and I’m a bit of a planner hehe. Happy travels to you as well 🙌
That's such a gorgeous spot! Good find
It has easily made it into my top 10 spots :)
Lisa could I suggest you have a look at yacht tender lifts these are basically a telescopic arm that would bring the item it lifts clear of the back of the van, (I’m sure there’s channels on here that will go into depths about them, I only thought of it as I’ve been watching Aquaholic for a couple of hours and they use these tender cranes to lift small inflatables out of the water and into a small garage)
It may not work for you at all but if it could be retro fitted to the underside of the bed (which may need some strengthening added) it could make life easier for you,
New to your channel, from Australia and love love love what you are doing! My dream to handcycle around the world!
Glad you found my channel!! Let me know if your dream unfolds and you find yourself cranking across Canada or the USA 😃
I absolutely love your videos 🙏 we are a family of 4 from sweden. And my husband is a T5 complete. And we're planning on building our own campervan in the future to explore Europe. I'm so impressed over things you have in your van. And we are probably going to copy some of it 🤓
@@Julia-vd9or ah that’s so exciting!! I started the channel to show what is possible l, even for a high level injury, so I’m glad it reached you in Sweden 😊
Getting to be a winter weather here around Toronto wish I was going to California as well. Enjoy your trip down the coast and have a good winter in the warm weather.
Thank you so much! Just went biking in California in 22C weather … I love this nomad life :)
jealous 0° here in OSHAWA -but I finally bought a metris van and I’ve been driving for three months so hope to head south with it someday-love your set up-you’re an inspiration keep it up
I really Love your videos I Also in this app from an auto accidenot. I would love to travel Like you' What you're doing is very inspirational because of my accident. I don't believe that I can dive ove to live in a van but I don't think that it'll be able to.
Keep doing everything that you Are doing
Amazing and something fairly inexpensive as a fence post for ramps. I love people that can think outside of a box for ideas. An for the 2 ways of loading your bike is great. The manual is harder to work with but it's better than nothing for sure. Another great video and yes it did help me with ideas for loading and unloading my little 3 wheel scooter if I don't have help. Safe travels down the coast. Blessings! Sherry
Wonderful news! A scooter might be a bit heavier than my bike so my winch may not work, but I’m sure another wouldn’t be difficult to find. Happy trails to you!
That backup system might be our backup for the Superarm. Or do you have something else figured out for that? Really appreciate your sharing these videos.
If my Superarm is broken (which happened), I’m able to transfer from my wheelchair to the van floor at the sliding door. Then I pull my chair in through that door and get into it. Lots of effort required but it’s doable!
One of these days you should go and meet up with "Chrome" from "VanCity VanLife" he lives around there.
Haha I’d love to meet up with Chrome and Cruz, I just wouldn’t know how to make it happen!
@@Keepinitwheel306 Try emailing him couldn't hurt.
And or maybe give him shout out in one of your videos perhaps?
Can you change a flat tire on your van?
I haven’t even tried! Hoping a plug kit will be all I need if I’m ever in that situation
You will be faced with that challenge in due time, I suggest practicing at least once.
Perhaps in a safe and easy location.
And once you have mastered this responsibility, you can learn to install snow chains, which are also very handy in slick muddy conditions.
