    Thank you for these videos. I'm a housebound old fart and enjoy exploring the great outdoors vicariously through your adventures. Small advice: put mouse-proof goods (cans, jars, etc.) on your new shelves under the counter, put bread and not-mouse-proof things in upper-cabinet/shelf storage. Mice and bugs are everywhere! 🐭 🐜

    Here's a thought on your motorcycle loading, install a 12volt winch on the front of the ramp and hook it to your bike then you can slowly winch it up onto the platform safely. Stop by Osburn in North Idaho and I'd be happy to help you install it. But I'm sure you can do it on your own also. Be safe kiddo

    I was thinking maybe you could lower your bike ramp. It looks like you have plenty of room to go lower and I think it would make loading much easier. I love the lake and your filming. I am disabled and I am enjoying seeing all the places you are visiting.

    Hey Emma,
    Great video and glad you had a good time where you were! Music festival! That's pretty exciting you played that down a bit (would have been good to see a some of that!) Fantastic looking place with the lake where you were paddle boarding!
    As for your batteries, you'll TOTALLY "fry" them of you let them run down like that! (You're lucky of you haven't damaged them/the capacity even this time..) (DEFINITELY get that on road charging/alternator set up ASAP and in meantime, maybe connect to mains power to charge, if you get the opportunity to top them off for free when you can (if it's free/included in any nightly fees) if you pay for anywhere that is..
    Very chilled video REALLY enjoyed it! I hope you kept the lense of the previous indicator you broke! (As you can use it to replace the current ones if you break another)
    Have a great week! Cheers from London 👍😉😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x

  • @ravinloon58
    @ravinloon58 2 года назад +1

    You really are trying so hard to do everything yourself... which is inspiring for sure. But there are so many people connected to the bus life/van life etc. many have already figured out the best way to do things and they would be happy to help. You haven't really joined the traveling community yet and I know that is scary, especially for a young woman travelling alone, but there are meet ups/events all over the States and once you meet a few like minded people your life will get easier all round. Thinking someone might help with that charging while driving hook up, someone else might make your bike rack/ramp more sturdy and easier for you (definitely getting better at it though). Looking forward to the next one!

    Nice video. It would be nice to also record on camera some of your interactions with "the locals" in the places where you are at. Like the kids who helped you put the motorbike stright, the place in the summer town where you had a snak, or the men fishing in the lake. It would add to the video, I"m in Europe and have no idea what those people are like.

  • @BillySBC
    @BillySBC 2 года назад

    The problem you are having loading and unloading your motorcycle on to the carrier stems from the fact that as the motorcycle is going up the ramp you are still standing on the ground, this puts you below the motorcycle as you are loading it, which does not give you the leverage you need to control the bike. What you need is something like an automotive ramp, like the ones you drive cars up on to change the oil (you can get them from Walmart), so as you are loading the motorcycle you are also walking up the little ramp, which puts you in a much better position to control the bike. Just set the ramp up next to the motorcycle ramp, and as the bike goes up it's ramp you walk up your ramp. I think you would have a much easier time doing it that way.
