I ADORE that you didn't find a hotel to stay at during this time... I think it's brave and unusual and lovely. So glad you're in an area where that was reasonable.
I'm so sorry that your van got broken into you and that they stoled your fridge. I'm glad that you are okay. Sending lots of good energy, positive vibes your way. Wishing you and yours the very best in life take care of yourself :)
Jinx! We both said, "... and it's not dark!" at the same time. :) Ok, having that out of the way ... Madilynn! This is one of the best car life videos I've seen of taking something bad that happens in stride! You were so calm and matter of fact. So you have to change plans, experience a different car/home, and take care of money/insurance/mechanic stuff, and then move on. You weren't scared or discouraged. You weren't cursing humanity ... you were like ... happy to take care of business and then you get to resume the van life. Amazing. I think I'd have been a little more traumatized. And you seem to have a great insurance policy/company taking care of your needs. :) Wanna recommend them? And now you're in an SUV for a while? Cool. Not bad, eh!? (My car home is Ford Explorer.)
Oh my gosh hahaha thank you!! You are too kind! I try really hard to not let things I can’t control get to me. My insurance has helped a lot in making me feel better, knowing that it seems to be getting handled is encouraging. I have USAA 😂 I’ve heard good & bad about them, but so far they’ve been good to me.
I'm sorry this happened to you, I know what that is like. but im glad you are staying positive and smiling! :) looking forward to more videos in the future
Oh, that's terrible! Such an uncomfortable feeling of being violated. My heart goes out to you. Be VERY CAREFUL of those car rental places. They will take you to the cleaners! They have all kinds of hidden charges. A few years ago my mom had one briefly. Even though we cleaned it before taking it back, they found some dog hair and charged an extra $400! Plus other silly charges. She could have bought a good, used car for what they gouged her for. This was on top of what the insurance paid. Enjoy your day!
Thank you 🤍 oh my, that’s awful to hear about the rental car! $400?! I am a little nervous honestly about Athena hair! I’m going to clean it before returning of course, but I know how rental places can be…hope you had a lovely day!
You really did an awesome job dealing with the bad luck..sorry about the van but you really kept cheerful through it all..I'm new so not sure how things are going for you now..but I have No Doubt that you are Doing well 😀..p.s Always stay safe out there ✌️
Aww poor madilyn 😢 you know i ❤ how positive and bubbly and smiley you are even though your shit got broke into.. when the worst happens in life just laigh at it! I was actually just camping in a national forest and my Hennessy hammock got stolen from my campsite when i went into town for food.. cant belive why people gotta be so rude these days
Ew, so sorry that happened to you!! I live in Portland and I always worry about this - it’s happened to my boyfriend’s truck twice!! Something I think helps is using a club in the steering wheel - it’s slightly inconvenient, but I really think it deters these jerks from trying - one more obstacle for them to have to get through, you know? And it’s pretty inexpensive, very worth it imo!
Wow that’s tough to do this on your own. Big props for sure. My first night on the road I couldn’t sleep. And started thinking what a mistake I made. Untrue.
Wow, I'm so sorry your van got broken into kind young spirit. The terrible things people do in this life. Know that good things will come your way. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. Iceman. Last of the rare breed....
Wicked bummer about the break-in. Having your personal space invaded is awful. Losing the fridge has got to be aggravating; it seems like you just got it and it was perfect! I would be losing my mind if this happened to me but you, with your kind spirit, you handle it very well, I hope your'e back on your journey soon! Please be safe!
That was pretty freaking cool finding Nessie hiding on the hatch, October easter eggs! Sad you got your van trashed by wanna be jackers but glad you had good insurance & got into a rental right away, & found a chill place to park, camp & film instead of throwing $ at a crap motel. They're so overpriced now for the quality of service/product given like so much else, not to mention you've got a garage bill coming, hope there's good news on that & you get covered for damages & some $ for a new fridge. It's always great to see you being resourceful & the scenery & view up there was awesome. Your tenacity is inspiring, looking forward to what's coming next in the Jeep Compass saga, hoping you stay safe & don't have to use that bear spray! 💚🌲🧡🍂💚🌳🧡🍁💚🌄
Thank you so much! I agree, hotel/motels are so expensive and hardly worth it. I’ll keep you all updated on what happens with me van hehe Have a lovely week!
You are just absolutely amazing I love the lifestyle. Just be careful and watch out for the crazy ppl lol. I have been thinking about #vanlife and I think it’s going to happen soon. And I would also love to say you are just sooo pretty 💯🍀☮️🪬
You sure turned lemons into lemonade. Do hope your van home is fixed quickly and sorry for all you're going thru but you got a great positive mindset. When did you get the dog, did I miss that post?
Thank you!! I’ve had Athena (my dog) for a little over a year now! She just didn’t come with me to the festival in the last few videos :) she was being watched by a family member!
hola :) so, last Friday (the 13th no less) somehow I switched the drivetrain dial to 4lo on my vehicle (05 Trailblazer) and unknowingly drove it around town on dry pavement in that mode for 4 days 🤦🏻♂️ it's still driveable, buuuut I've probably caused some damage to the axle housing or transfer case. not compared to having your vehicle broken into, but I guess just that I recently had some vehicle issues too. mostly because I'm an idiot, though 😂 anyway, hopefully you can get an anti-theft system on your van?? I have no clue if that would be expensive for your van or not. sweet view, by the way. that PNW stuff is unbelievably beautiful. much love.
Hi!! Oh my gosh, that is terrible. It seems like so many people are having car troubles lately. Hopefully things start to look up 😅 hope you had a good Sunday!
@@madilynndawn thanks. it's either that or I just start getting around on a penny farthing. besides, I have an actual top hat, so it makes sense to me lol
Madi i new what you were going to say in this video about your fridge even befor you said it.I read the title and said i hope they havent took her fridge. its not nice what happend but i did laugh (SORRY) when you said they took your new fridge, i know how many weeks you went with out one when yours broke and you were over the moon to get a new one and you loved it sorry again Madi. so pleased you were not in the van anything could of happend. STAY SAFE.
Oh, geez, sorry to hear about the break-in. I once owned a classic F250 p/u with a pretty nice sound system installed... it was broken into and they stole the entire system. Some people's kids really suck. You appear to be weathering the situation pretty well (at least what you've shown, HaHa). I hope they can find the parts and get your van back to you soon!
I’m so sorry that happened to you!! It’s the worse feeling ever. I definitely was upset when it happened, but having insurance has helped so much! Thank you ☺️
You could do with a visible lock on the steering wheel. Had they seen that they wouldn't have even bothered about trying to spark the ignition or even bother to enter the van.
Do you happen to know what year this Jeep Compass Limited that you are renting is? It looks to be a pre-facelifted second generation model from 2017-2019.
Alot of Bad intentions out there....I discovered your channel yesterday and have followed your journey over your videos. A truly inspiring story you are awesome, hopefully this whole incident doesn't detour you. Thank God for insurance, can not wait till the next video
if your planning to live in a vehicle, I would have a "club", just to signal to the would-be thieves that they can't drive into it. It's more protection than nothing, after all, your whole life might just drive away. I have one on my old truck, only because I hate losing it.
Really makes me nervous about traveling to democrat states :( But they have some of the most beautiful views too. Hope the van is able to be fixed fast and you can get back to your plans!

People are lame. Sorry you got broke into. Stay safe out there.
They really can be lame sometimes :( Thank you!
I ADORE that you didn't find a hotel to stay at during this time... I think it's brave and unusual and lovely. So glad you're in an area where that was reasonable.
Sorry about the van, at least they didn't get it.Your confidence has grown a lot since you started.
I’m very happy they did not successfully steal it!!! I would have been heartbroken! Thank you :,)

Oh no! ❤
Do you happen to know what year this Jeep Compass Limited that you are renting is? It looks to be a pre-facelifted second generation model from 2017-2019.
It’s a 2020 jeep compass!
Sorry to hear that. Never leave your vehicle! Keep it in sight. To much scum in this world!
Thank you, seems like you can’t take your sight off anything!

if your planning to live in a vehicle, I would have a "club", just to signal to the would-be thieves that they can't drive into it. It's more protection than nothing, after all, your whole life might just drive away. I have one on my old truck, only because I hate losing it.
what's a club?
@@cheeriosaltcream it's a steering wheel lock for your car.
@@ex8280 oh!! i've seen those! thank you for clarifying
Yay 4 rental car❤
Shame on them
Unfortunately that's the world we live in nowadays. My buddy was caring for his parents during Covid and some tweakers tried squatting in his house.
Oh my goodness…that’s awful! :(
What do you do for work?
Bruh I would way rather be in that jeep then the van lol that jeep is perfect
👻
No new videos ?
where did this happen…. Could have been worse…. Stolen!!
I’m SO happy they did not steal it!!
People are so disgusting and need to get a life, it’s like they are too lazy to work for their stuff, stealing is so wrong smh.
FN Tweekers!! I'm sorry..
Sorry
Stop by in salt lake, let’s go camping 🏕️
Anything of value, hide an AirTag or tracking tile in it.
Really makes me nervous about traveling to democrat states :( But they have some of the most beautiful views too. Hope the van is able to be fixed fast and you can get back to your plans!
I’ve been lucky enough that this is the first time anything like this has happened to me, but it is really common unfortunately /: Thank you!
Will you marry me? Queen
