    I’m just building a camper slightly over a year after my wife of 51 years died. I like solitude but it IS different when you are suddenly permanently on your own again, it will be great to see new places and some places where we both used to go. I’m very sure some parts will be emotional but that’s life unfortunately. Do your own thing Eva, good luck and may your trails be muddy ones. Go girl !

    Just so you know, if you go to Greece in winter you will actually have it pretty much to yourself. I spent ten days on Mykonos island in February once and the main town was a ghost town. The islands empty out between mid-October and mid-May. Weather will be warmish during the day, cool at night, possible rain but likely sunny. Good time to go, no crowds, cheaper, quiet, a few restaurants and hotels open, very peaceful. And you can swim if you're brave.

    I've always gravitated towards solitude and the more quiet places in nature. I've just always felt more comfort in the company of nature vs other human beings. It's literally a breath of fresh air. Nature doesn't care who you are or what you do. It automatically invites you to become a part of this thing that's bigger than you. And the more you connect with it, the more empowered you can feel within yourself. Never break that connection.

    Hi, Eva!
    It's great to see you again going North. When I was watching Your previous winter trip to Scandinavia, I was betting we will see You there again. And here You go... 🙂
    THERE IS something like "the bite (or call) of the Far North", definitely. I know it from own (slightly limited) experience, too. There must be something in those vast, empty landscapes, harsh, but extremally scenery and sometimes colourfull, with plenty of solitude and silence.
    You must have got it already in Alaska, but it is far, far away from Poland and Europe, not easy to get. So when You discovered North of the Europe last year, I knew almost for sure You'll probably return...
    So then good luck on the road and on the trail, be happy and stay safe, share Your adventure with us as usual.
    PS. I see you have packed Your pulks again, so definitely You go straight into wilderness or tundra from time to time. Hope You also took snowshoes/skis and modified the towing system of Your pulk finally ;-)

    I have not read any comments or concerns about the challenges/dangers of operating a diesel vehicle in extreme cold weather. Diesel fuel typically gels at temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 to -9 degrees Celsius). My diesel truck will not turn over much less start unless it has a plugged in block heater or I park it in the the heated garage. The cold drains the batteries faster then you can imagine. There is a reason that work trucks in the oil fields of Alaska are left running all day long. We install insulated engine covers so the motors will actually reach operating temperatures and do not freeze solid.A canvas roof/wall provides almost no insulating value and interior condensation in a frozen vehicle is a major issue and game changer.

    I totally understand how you feel. As a child, I grew up out in the countryside far from the nearest neighbors. I was used to occupying my time alone. Flipping over big rocks watching ants carrying away their baby sacks (as I called them). Collecting bugs, I was amazed when I found a Praying Mantis for the first time (thought he was from Mars). Looking at the Stars at night and watching seasonal changes.Watching the location of the sun every day so that I could get a general idea of the time of day. Mom always turned us out at day break and said to come home before sunset. Breakfast was oatmeal, lunch was what ever we could forage, dinner was oatmeal again. No TV, no telephones, no distractions. A neighbor had about 10 years of National Geographic Magazines. I visited her just about every day. So many things to do when one does not have outside distractions. Being alone allows your mine to be creative. Go for it.

    Recently binged a bunch of: 'I shouldn't be alive' stories, with many revolving around the ocean and sailing. A common theme was isolation. I've always found the ocean to be a source of rejuvenation. There's a purity there. And the smell, oh man, now I'm missing it, haha. I sailed across the Pacific and there's a magical feeling out there when you're alone looking around with absolutely nothing in all directions. And then there's the night sky... TREMENDOUS. If you're digging the vibe of this vid consider island hopping. There are so many remote uninhabited islands out there, where you can wash ashore, and feel like Columbus back in the 'ole days. And if you want to add a little fate, terror, and overcoming your mind schtick... open-water swimming across the ocean from island to island dials up the ALONENESS factor x10. I'll never forget some of those swims... nothingness below you, above, and in all directions. It's an active meditation out there. So much chatter in the mind: sharks? Am I on course? How's my energy? Do I have enough juice for the return trip? What's the current doing? Almost didn't even seem real.
    Never forget the final revelations of a man named Christopher McCandless (Into the Wild/movie), a real-life fella who solo trekked to Alaska, and eventually died in a school bus in the Alaskan wilderness: 'Happiness only real when shared.' Don't forget to come back.

    when you master the state of mind of being alone in solitude all the while in the midst of a crowd then you can truly be alone. i have been doing this most of my life. even in a wilderness you are surrounded by life even it is just plants and insects and then add the animals. being alone is a state of mind.

My kids have the same worries about something happening to me when I'm on the road , but they also want me to enjoy my life . I'm happy to see you traveling again , and enjoying the nomadic life .

    Aaww, Ms. Eva, I love your new rig, and to be honest I am rather jealous of that beautiful thing, but dang it's good to see Odyssey! Such a badass truck. 💙🚙💙 Vilk seems really comfy to be back on the road in it, too. I'll be looking forward to your musings from the middle of nowhere; that's my favorite Eva mode. I cheer you on in your growing success, of course. But this stuff is why I come back to your channel. My loner heart loves your solo trips!
    I've heard it suggested that if you need the company of others to recharge, you are extroverted. If you require solitude to recharge, then you are introverted. I'm solidly in the second camp. The company of others can be a true joy and I'm very social at times, but it costs me in energy and emotional and mental bandwidth. I'm sure many of your followers relate! Enjoy your peace. Wishing you and Vilk all the best on this voyage. Much love from California. 🥰

Now I'm a recent widower in my 50's with a special needs child so it's not an option any longer. But I'd oh so love to be able to take off even for just a few days. In a different life I'd have spent a lot of this last year on the road and in the wilderness processing my 'new' life but our son needs me more than ever now.

    The reason is that if your car breaks down in the outback in Australia then it can result in your death. So Japanese cars were very popular in the outback.
