Dear Eva, please never address the stalker directly in your videos. It will encourage him to continue. These are sick people. They don't "function" like healthy people. Please do a bit of research on the topic of stalking. And: Always trust your intuition. Fear is a helpful feeling that protects us. I wish you the very best. Stay safe. Thank you for all the years of content, that empowers women to do their thing. 💛
I agree. Part of this video makes me really uncomfortable for Eva. I understand trying to feel empowered by shouting that you won't be afraid or stopped, but it's just throwing down a challenge to the stalker(s).
When watching the last two videos it occurred to me that the missing ingredient to having a safe and natural home base is community. The ideal situation is living in a community where you have privacy/land and still have neighbors who keep an eye out for each other. It is the difference between living in nature and living remotely.
In some country this will also not working, like my situation, I can't go to my community because the good people of the comunity not there just bad one remained that work for dictator government and if I had property their they will inform about my property and the government to teach me good lesson for talking about their bad deed will saise my property and I know they did to many people like me
Eva made one mistake. she posted about her friend's airbnb, and reported that it was adjacent to her land. that's it. and she can never go back to that land because now she's a public figure. that was her single mistake. it was not a mistake to buy the land, or share that she bought it. it was a mistake to share her waypoint. if I were to advise her, sell the land, and buy a new plot of land, and take extraordinary measures to keep the location private. Selling your land is not giving in, it's not being a victim, it's just smart given that all of the crazy people that want to know where Eva is, now have that location saved in their phone and pinned on a map. That cannot be undone. Legal action will not save her, it's an aftermeasure at best. If she doesn't sell it, she should start a glamping business on it or something. In this video, she's appealing to the sane, reasoning person. Most of us fall into that category. She must realize that her audience is filled with sane, reasoning people, who love her in a healthy way, but also mentally unstable people who will not listen to her very reasonable, sane arguments. Unfortunately, those mentally unstable people love her in a very unhealthy way. A friend of mine is a security consultant and I just spoke with him about 10 minutes ago. He said that there is 100% chance that there are thousands of men that watch her RUclips videos who are mentally unstable and also have the means to find her for whatever reason they convince themselves of. It’s been happening for decades to Hollywood celebrities and probably hundreds of years to stage celebrities . Right now, in 2024 the unfortunate reality is one can become just as much or more of a celebrity on RUclips as in the past in Hollywood - so the same security and privacy rules apply to Eva as someone like Taylor Swift follows. In Eva’s mind she’s just a RUclipsr, a regular person, not a Hollywood celebrity, but that’s simply not the case for her. The exact same Hollywood security playbook applies to Eva. The cat is indeed out of the bag . There is absolutely nothing she can do to prevent more crazy guys from seeking her out and Stalking or worse. The best defense she has is at the moment to simply not be on that land when they come looking, because they will. Unfortunately, one cannot reason with crazy.
I was a victim of a stalker also, law enforcement got involved, they told me the one thing especially not to do is acknowledge the behavior, and most importantly, not to address the stalker directly. These are sick people, they view your videos addressing what they are doing as “positive reinforcement”. I know it’s too late now, you already released two videos doing just that, but based on what was recommended to me, best to not even mention the situation again. You owe your viewers NOTHING, they don’t need to know what you are dealing with. Your effort to increase awareness of the problem is actually causing you even more harm.
How so? The stalkers know they are not wanted there now. Most of the time stalkers are harmless dreamers that believe the woman will have interest in them and mean no harm. they are lonely disilluioned men who are not violent.
@ no, according to law enforcement (which included a psychologist, it was a pretty serious case), stalkers don’t take her words at face value, they simply view it as attention from her. If they went through the effort they did to locate her, these are seriously ill people, they don’t give what she is saying to them any value, it’s the fact that they view it as her “talking to them”.
I think most youtubers do not show their car's sign with the registernumber etc when they are filming their car, because they are trying to protect themselves from being followed by strangers like stalkers and so on. I wish all the best for you ! I love your videoes ! Stay well !!
I never liked that you couldn’t get your vehicle to your tent. Where ever you end up PLEASE make sure you can get to your safe place - your vehicle- easily! ❤
a small tip don't post major landmarks in your areal shots , and i think what gave your land position away was plugging your friend's hotel and talking about how near it was.i understand it's exhausting to think about every clip you take but your safety comes first. stay safe and positive !
Don't post anything even remotely identifiable if you're this concerned. Landmarks make geolocation easier, but anyone sufficiently motivated can geolocate your position even if you're out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing even remotely "scenic." You can be geolocated simply by the angle of the sun relative to the horizon combined with a visual analysis of the types of trees in the distance.
I had the same thought anytime I saw the aerial drone shots in her videos. As beautiful and cinematic as they are, it makes translocating her land a lot easier for someone thats motivated to find it. I think Id sell the current land and find another plot and keep it totally off camera, even though I know that doesnt help make any content for the channel. I think the peace of mind would be worth it.
@TCxfan same when she first posted videos of her new land i had a feeling this would happen :( I def agree with you, she needs to start over fresh by selling the land and keep everything private moving forward.
Even this video had enough identifying features that would make locating the property possible. It even had a beautiful aerial view of the tent and surrounding area. You should not do this. I would only use drone views when travelling and only post the video AFTER you have moved on from the location. I would also not describe in detail your next destination to prevent creeps from waiting for your arrival.
I have been watching your videos for a quite some time now. The places you go, things you do, and people you meet and have conversations with are genuinely interesting. So much so that I went back to before I started watching and watched old videos that I had missed before I knew about your traveling. I watched your Ted experience. That was so cool! I think some comments in last weeks video brought up a good point. Sometimes you post time wise too close to where you actually are. First I will say I would never go to anyone's private property without an invitation. At the same time, I met you at Mt. St. Helens because you had said you were running there ahead of time, and I was kayaking out there that weekend. Sure you didn't say where the run was but 50 mile runs are few and far between. It was an easy deduction. I went in to the observatory and ate lunch, read up on the mountains new developments and kicked back in my truck and cheered the runners as they came in. I watched people much of the afternoon. The Defender is a bit of a giveaway. Some people walked by and checked it out, a few took pictures, one guy walked to it and around it 20 times or so. It was unnerving. Yet far be it from me, just another stranger, to give you security advice. I did hope though that you had a secure place to go and recover from that run. There were a few other people watching too. Some other older women in the parking lot that must have got the same uneasy feeling. I would look around and see them watching that guy too. It was a nice rest for me after a long journey on the lake, and meeting you was a wonderful end to the day. I found you to be the kind person in person that you are in your videos. Nothing fake about you. I am happy to hear you say you are taking your security much more seriously though. I hate to say it but there are some people that do not respect any boundaries, spoken or unspoken. It is not "mean" to be cold or defensive to them. I am happy your introduction to the world of sick people was not extreme, that no one actually touched you. I hope you never hesitate if that ever happens. I hope you time your video releases and events differently so you are not in danger of meeting people with bad intentions. And/or consider some kind of security if you know you will be extremely public somewhere. Body guards are a real thing for a reason. And yes you really are that well known now. You have left a huge impact on the world, and thank you for that. I wish peace always to you and Vilk.
Selling that property isn’t giving up but it’s smart business. Sell it and buy a different property and do not ever give out any kind of location even close to where you are. That should be your top priority, after all it’s about your safety and that is what matters most! ❤️🙏🏻
Agreed! And she should put the property in a Trust to make it harder for someone to find it in public records. You can also get special permissions from various counties where the deeds are recorded and are public to have your information unpublished. She needs to check with an attorney in whatever county she decides to buy in, or even her current property, see what the qualifications are to unpublish her info. I would also set up a security perimeter that alerts you when someone enters that boundary. Check with a local security expert to see how that is done.
if somebody wants to, he will find her.... unless she never films it and never talks about it. But still, he can find it anyway. If somebody wants it hard, its doable.
@@JulieMoran1832 In Poland, personal data about plot owners is not easily available. That wasn't how he found her. He found it from publications that he posts on social media and RUclips.
👉 *FORMER LONGTIME VICTIM ADVOCATE HERE. THERE IS NO REASONING WITH CRAZY. THE WELL IS POISONED HERE BUT LESSONS LEARNED. SELL & CONSULT WITH TRUSTED SECURITY PEOPLE FOR NEXT LOCATION. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER!* 🙏🕊️
As a former German Shepherd owner, I believe you may be ignoring training Vilks for guarding. Vilks is with you much of the time and his instinct is to guard and protect you from harm. However, without proper training, he may not always understand how to differentiate between normal interactions and real threats. He will be looking for your guidance and leadership. The training will also be about how you communicate with him, so he understands when a situation is threating. The additional training for him can actually be fun and a greater bonding opportunity for the two of you.
Eva you didn't make a mistake buying the land! You deserve a home. It's just that we live in a dangerous world and it's best if no one knows where you live. I make videos on another channel and I say that I live in a town about 2 hours away. Yes I lied because I want to be safe! You are amazing! Sell that land and buy something new with a cottage on it and keep it private. 🤗🌸
They could also find out her new location. I think she should just stay and invest in security. Also, she is probably hyping this up for views. She could easily live in a walled structure and have a family or friend live there too for safety.
Years ago I bought a cottage in Norway, in the forest. I had to walk in deep snow up to my waist for 40 mins to get to the nearest road. I was still remote when on that road, and had to walk hours to get to nearest town. I lived there with my small dog and we loved it. Till one day it became a nightmare. Not because of the wild animals I met daily and had a close relationship with, but one mad human being. A man started hunting me in the forest with a rifle. One night he walked around my cottage knocking my windows and door. Told me what he was gonna do with me when he had played with me first. I slept with my clothes on, a big hunting knife(I am trained in martial arts) and my backpack ready. One night I had to walk hours through deep snow with my little dog in my backpack through pitch dark through the forest(not the road) while he was on our tracks. Thank God I was strong mentally and physically. I made it to town and into the police station. The man is still free. So Eva, I haven’t even watched this episode yet, but do what is best for you. Safety of our life comes first. I sold my cottage with a big loss. Used years paying it down. But that is no price compared to my life and back then, my little dogs life. I never thought I could kill, but in that moment with my hunting knife I was ready for the battle of my life. And I was determined to survive. But this hasn’t stopped me. I am looking for a new place and this time I am geared to my teeth. And not alone anymore 😁So one chapter closes and new ones are waiting ahead. You got this Eva🩷
That’s insane! You’d think you’d be safe that far from main roads. It saddens me how difficult it seems to be to get away from other humans, particularly bad ones.
@@jemmah4723He was doing illegal business out there and wanted me away. In general I do believe we are pretty safe that far away from civilization. I was very unlucky with location. But what does not kill you…makes you stronger, so I heard👀
I put up my videos in advance so i've already left the area before the episode goes public .... Glad you are able to get away and enjoy life away from those creepers.
I think a rural property with an actual building on it might be more secure. A little house or even a barn puts distance between you and interlopers that is not really possible with a tent. Of course, if you have a little house it would likely be hooked up to the grid which might make it easier to get help in an emergency. You can STILL camp on your property if you buy one that has a couple of acres .... but for security, a cabin or house is probably a conventional option and even though you seem to dislike convention, sometimes it's necessary.
I had a bad feeling right when you bought the land - you said you can’t build on it. Then you were out there alone in the tent only. Hard access, away from help. I get you wanted your sanctuary but if you had at least a cabin you are protected behind a closed door… Vilk is an amazing help and can protect you but someone could hurt him as well…😢 Also I am from Tatras in Slovakia and was wondering how are you gonna spend winter there? One night of a good snowing and you are stuck there for days.
@@dexterford8094 for sure. I know there are different tents and some for extreme weather but live like that long term without proper amenities during winter especially for a woman would be very very hard…
Well, having been a property owner for several decades now... I definitely cherish a "home base" (while still enjoying travel). However, "home base" is always a solid and defendable structure. Nobody can get in without my permission and active participation in letting them in. People can _find_ me, but they can't _get at_ me. Now, in your circumstance that's a bit more expensive proposition and there might be some legal limitations... but before you go back or change properties, I'd recommend A) not show much of it, and B) plan to either build a solid home or purchase an existing structure.
If she's going to remain a public figure and wants to stand still sometimes with her own property, stalkers will find her. Just from the layout of the inside of her house or images out her window. The key is to set up a situation that protects her as much as possible and tell everyone in the area and her support system of what is happening. She won't be able to record anywhere near where she gets her next place if she wants to make it as hard as possible to find her.
15:35 Vilk is looking around wondering who Eva is shouting at. "Where's the threat? Who do I need to protect her from?" A very special and loyal travel companion.
I know you have 1000+ other comments, but I still want to say how sorry I am that you had to have such a bad experience with your land. I'm a 73 year old retired guy and very glad you are bouncing back. I very much enjoy your travels and seeing places that I will never get to see.
Being an internet personality has its unique pros and cons. I remember when a youtuber I follow told about that phenomenon - certain people from his audience (whom he never met before) built a kind of relationship with him in their own minds and then during meetings talks to him as they were long time friends or family and did all things together. Knowing that it's understandable that someone fell in love with imagined version of you over your videos. It didn't legitimate violating your privacy and stalking but it's something which should be taken into consideration by every content creator. Stay safe!
Wishing you all the best Eva for your safety and freedom!! One note on this video to be aware of was your license plate number shown on your vehicle. It's just more opportunity for some creep to track you down....sending love and protection your way, love your videos, you are a huge inspiration!!
I learned a valuable lesson in my teens. While my buddy and I were camped in a USA wilderness area 4 older men walked into our campsite initiating a threatening conversation. I instinctively opened my jacket and placed my hand on my revolver and said nothing. They backed off and we high-tailed it out of there. Took us 4 hours to get to our vehicle. 55 years latter and not gun obsessive like some in the U.S. but I always carry a firearm if allowed out in the woods.
Do you know most firearms owners are just like you. There are many that would call you a gun nut. I know this from being a range officer and having taught people to handle firearms safely. Be an example and drop that phrase from your vocabulary. The vast majority of firearms owners around the world aren't nuts.
Sad that going forward, whenever you're out hiking or camping in a remote area, and come across another like minded person hiking or camping in same remote area, you'll think he's a stalker, when in fact he's a kindred spirit. You've met so many characters on your travels , made so many friends along the way, always believe in the good in people, most are thankfully 🙏🙏
I could be wrong but i dont think showing your licence plate on your vehicle is a good idea, im sure people can get some information off of it if they really had the resources, stay safe out there!!!
11:56 you can’t reason with people like that. They aren’t normal! Normal/logically people don’t need to be told not to go and find you. They wouldn’t do that. A stern talking to via RUclips isn’t going to be enough.
My wife is a tough outdoor type. She tells me that things are so different for females. Even going for a country walk on her own she is always on her guard for dodgy men, even though here in the Norman countryside we feel safer than we ever have anywhere. I never give that sort of thing a thought when I`m out and about.( Get yourself a proper guard dog to go with Vilk).
Vilk just needs to learn how to stick close and watch for questionable humans... he's already quite well trained he just has to learn how to do safely what his instincts will tell him. Camp somewhere else anonymous...
Eva you are beautiful, resilient, and smart, your spirit of adventure is so apparent and I'm so excited to see where you're being redirected to next! Stay safe and continue to be in joy 💝
Still shocked someone thought it appropriate to seek you out on your own land. What a creep. He should be ashamed of himself.. ruining your peace of mind and safe place :( wishing you the best of luck! ✌🏽💜
You're right, but sooner or later someone would have done the same. Perhaps an even worse person. She definitely needs to be more careful of sharing locations, especially for places where she stays more often.
It is not apropriate. If that guy has gone on a hike and just by happenstance took a wrong turn and got to cross Mrs. zu Beck's path, that's one thing. But to go there on purpose to pester the lady ... that's just not done.
The one who walked up the road was one thing maybe need some education, but the Psycho who after violating your land and if your tent was up he likely explored that too; then flew to where your National Geographic filming contract was is just too obsessed, he needs 4 walls and a cot for some time!
I don't get people sometimes. Eva, we met in person once. In Prescott, AZ, when you were on the Pan American trip. It was at a Maverick gas station. All I cared about was looking at your truck. I saw my dream build for a vehicle. I didn't even know who you were at that time. Two weeks later, by chance, I came across your RUclips channel. While looking up truck builds similar to Odyssey. It baffles me how delusional people can be in thinking. That two people are meant to be together. When you never met that person at all. Stalkers do suck. I promise from my end, I'm not delusional in that department. I enjoy your content and that's about it. Happy trails to you. Thank you for all that you do. It's truly inspiring and fun to watch.
vasoline or any oil rubbed on the paper bag will help start the fire. also a candle with its wax..vasoline rubbed into cotton balls is a classic fire starter
Thank you, Eva, for having the courage and skill to make this episode. The story is universal, pivotal, and important. Whatever decision you make is neither right nor wrong, but it's yours. Most people will not choose, and instead, live in attachment and fear. Om mani pame hum.
You are an inspiration. I love that you are not making purely fear based decisions. You are being smart to play offense. Don’t let the bastards grind you down! We are with you. Btw- there are people out there that specialize in hunting these stalkers down. They usually get a kick out of it too. In Texas we’d say “gather the posse.” Get em girl.
As an ex-British infantry soldier and someone who has worked in the security circuit for the last twenty years, I'm sure I'm among many who would like to give you a reassuring hug and tell you everything is going to be alright. You got this. Always trust your gut instincts and do what you need to do.
The other virwer's comment is correct, do not challenge a stalker, it can be an invitation... Other female youtubers do not post their videos until they are out of the area they filmed on. Like 2 weeks later. Praying for your safety (for about 3 years).
You're a ROCKSTAR, Eva. 😎💯 That's why fans or people who idolize you will find you to get a glimpse of you, to take a picture with you, maybe get an autograph and talk to you. Being famous is hard specially when it comes to your privacy. That's why famous people doesn't broadcast or show what they do in private or where they stay or live. STAY SAFE! 👍
I am so sorry. It breaks my heart that some men are just assholes. Thanks for keeping yourself safe and doing what's right for you in spite of what everybody else says. I hope things work out for you for the better and you can continue to do what you're doing. I wish there was a way I could help.
So sorry you are going through this!! You gotta protect yourself….gun, taser, something! And maybe set up a boundary to make sounds if they trip it. Stay safe! ☺️🙏🏻
Self-sufficiency goes a lot deeper than just feeding yourself or paying bills. Always prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. You're a beautiful person and a strong and capable human. Take some jui-jitsu or something
I've always believed one of the smartest things Eva has done, is to get that awesome dog Vilk. He's probably kept you from being harmed, more often then you could measure. His look is very intimidating and has probably scared many potential stalkers away. Never travel without him, he'll keep you safe.
I remember how happy you were on your first night on your own property. Whatever you do, don't let anyone steal your joy. That gives them way too much power.
I know! I was so excited she finally found land of her own! I think once she builds some permanent structures on that land and isn't just sleeping vulnerable in a tent, everything will be much safer. People would be less willing to break into a house than breaking in on a woman sleeping alone in a tent. Save the tent for camping.
Absolutely love your channel Eva! I just recently started my own RUclips channel and you’re such an inspiration to me and so many young women out there. You really inspire courage and bravery! Sending you strength and greetings from London. Thank you ❤
Be strong Eva! You are a fighter. We are all gutted by these two individuals who have invaded your privacy and terrorized you. I wish I had an answer for you regarding your land. That’s a tough and emotional subject to tackle. You will make the right choice. Sending you protective energy your way.
Hi Eva, I’m a grandma person, 66 years old. I’m glad you’re going to keep doing videos. A suggestion is to keep your home private. Show only non-traceable parts. What do you think?🤗Hugs, 💖Love, and🦋Butterfly blessings sent your way today and always.🤗💖🦋
Thank you for enlightening people about stalking by sharing your situation. And thanks to the people commenting. I have never experienced stalking. Scary and good to get some insight and thoughts on how to avoid it and defend personal boundaries.
You always have a healthy outlook on things Eva. You are such a strong woman! I love that you won’t don’t let fear get in your way. I’m sorry that happened to you. I wish you the best of luck on your life’s journey!! And I’ll be here quietly cheering you on!! 😊
You're a lot more than what you think or say you are. You really are something else! No wonder the many loves from the hearts of so many. Thank you for shining your light so bright.
I was actually waiting for this to happen. Surprised it took this long. You should have never told anyone where the place is, just show the tent and little of the land
You are more than welcome to come and stay at my family’s property in northern Wisconsin (right on Lake Superior). We usually have a lot of snow and a lot of privacy. It’s beautiful!
Sad, maybe find some friends who you trust to also live on that land with you? We live in a scary world no matter where you are. Hope you can go back. I have enjoyed all the places you bring me to. You live a amazingly life, if only I was a little younger, starting out I would have loved the adventures😊
Continue to make your videos and post them a month after you have left that area. Also, NEVER depend on a restraining order, NEVER , because it will NOT stop that person !
This event precipitated her decision ahead of time. She would have eventually left this situation as she is an adventure girl and building a house and stay there would have been too much for her at the moment...
We got our share of stalkers in the US. And all too often they are not treated correctly. Sometimes the victims are not taken seriously or made out to be the cause of the stalking. Or there is simply nothing the authorities can do about it. As a victim of stalking I can tell you it is absolutely terrible. You are aware of it 24/7. You have to be. And all too often a restraining order is just a piece of paper.
Either you set up some traps for this mother f"r.. or yes sell and buy new land. And make sure there's no landmarks around you. Cause that's how they're finding you. It's usually whenever you go into town for supplies if you film that they will follow you from that particular town.
I didn't see any land marks in her videos. Someone may have told that guy where she was staying on her land. Someone in a local store that may know where she is.
The guy probably found her car parked by the road (her plates are clearly readable from most new videos) and simply explored the area until he found her. I don't think the guy just happened to go mushroom-picking at her land. He knew exactly what he was doing. I think it's doable if you want to find someone so obsessively :(
My grandfather was from Warsaw, so it's nice a bit of Poland; since i haven't been there - it's beautiful!! I would just plan-out, permit and build your dream home on the land you worked so hard for...
You go girl! Be smart, be tough but most of all, be who you are. You have all the tools you need to work through this situation and I am confident that you will! Take care and enjoy life. Cheers.
Eva your travelling alone is inspirational, but also makes me nervous. Having community around is the best solution to keep odd folks at bay. I know of other youtubers that were trespassed and stalked, even having stuff stolen etc. Your location has to be absolutely secret, with no regional references to place. When you travel far then its ok to mention places. But for your safety living in a trusting community is best.
Clearly Eva didn't grow up binge-watching criminal minds. That show taught be how one person who is crazy and determined enough will do whatever it takes to find you and hurt you. I love your way of seeing the world Eva. I share your view of most people in the world being safe and good intentioned. In fact, you inspired me to travel the world and my own country bravely! I'm so sorry you are dealing with this situation. It is a powerful reminder for me to be careful as I share my own travels. I hope this is a necessary step to something even better and more aligned for you ❤
it was a mistake making a video about it and especially showing it. Thats why most streamers and youtubers never show the outside of where they live, even not through the windows to the outside, because if you can see a half decent view through the window, you can pretty easily more or less pinpoint someones location, especially if knowing what country/city/area they are in.
@@tremor_n_hawk Yes. 100% victim shaming here. This sucks. She just did what a ton of people do. Should no RUclipsr or celebrity or successful person ever leave a window open in their home? I guess not, if you listen to this person.
Hell yeah Eva! Take charge of the situation & don't let anyone scare you or deter you from your dream & from living your best life! 💯💪🏼 Don't sell your land you just bought it. It's a beautiful place & it's your! 💯 You are strong, brave & awesome! Take care! 💯 💪🏼🐺✌🏼
I get that you're trying to be supportive but this is very bad advice. As another commenter said, "the well is poisoned". She can't live there anymore. It's just the reality. Stalkers are not to be messed with. They don't think like other people do.
Eva, others have given sound advice. I will add only one thing, if you choose to remain on the property, you must build a structure that will keep unwanted visitors out. Is cell service good there? If not, maybe a sat. Phone, or a long range radio. I'm glad to see you keep your chin up. ❤❤
A proper house in the mountains instead of a tent. Don't run away or nothing will change. And if you start to run away there is a risk you will never stop.
She is already beyond that point. Since a few years she's been running away, and when she tries to stop, she changes everything again, so that she can continue running. She's so delusional, thinking women can be strong and independent. But reality proves that women belong to a vulnerable group. They have to attach to a strong community and a strong man, and this man has to build her a strong house with sturdy walls. Since thousands of years, women have chosen this kind of lifestyle to be safe from crazy people outside.
So pleased you are in a better mental space......Don't let the bastards grind you down........was one of my favourite sayings when i worked for a large American company based in the UK. Just follow your gut but never give in or be intimidated by another unstable human being. I wish the human race was as loyal and unselfish as the animal kingdom, it would be such more of a happy journey through this life. Anyway you have a wonderful personal bodyguard by your side....All he want's is your love a bit of play and a nice bowl of food and it's clear to see the love between you two, Vilk was the best thing, you two were made for each other. David. From a cold snowy England.
World is full of fruit cakes, sad lonely mixed up people, men who think a woman on her own must need a man etc etc. I love seeing your videos and your way of life, but hope I am well enough balanced not to get carried away by them. It is your life and no-one has the right to inflict their unwarranted prejudices and needs on to you. I would say keep your privacy, live on your land but have steps in place to protect yourself. A proper building, fencing, more dogs maybe, hire someone to look after the place when you are on your travels. Be safe, most of us admire what you do, you're brilliant at your career - don't let anyone get you down!
Dear Eva, my wife and I watch your videos regularly. We actually wait for you to post new videos. It was inspiration from you that we bought an SUV for off-road travelling. Some day, we might start full time travelling like you do. Couple of months ago, we actually decided to buy land away from our city of residence, and live off grid…. Now about your incidence … you are a brave girl. Don’t let stupidity of two individuals make you alter your major life decisions. Stay blessed.
I'll always recommend the mountains and rivers in western Oregon. They're just so incredibly calming and healing. You've got this, you're a woman which means you were born fierce. 💜
It's unfortunate everywhere in Oregon is so expensive. That was one of my options but the prices are just unreachable...especially if you want land and some solitude.
Keep the land Eva, but build a cabin. Surrounded with a electrified razor wire fence. ⚡ Also, a pet Golden Eagle, nesting on the roof, trained to go in talons first, then beak ! 🦅 At the same time as Vilk ! 🙏 Peace 💛 🍓🐿
Eva, my heart goes out to you. I have traveled in active war zones and lots of other extremely remote and dangerous places. Everyone deserves to feel safe at home.
You could also invest in putting up signage like Private Property, Keep Out, No Tresspassing. That way you know anyone you find on your property is most likely up to no good.
I get a permant home there, like one of those German Huf Haus were you pick a design they build it in a factory and come and build it all in a week, everything included, furniture, Cookers, Toilets and Beds, with solar panels for off grid living burglar alarms as well, Back up battery and generator if needed! Think you'll be safer in a Huf haus than a tent or in your car
- But you actually need a permit to build on land in Poland and most European land, not every land plot is legal to just build on, you need a plan, you need a landscape architect to draw your buildings into the land etc. etc. Especially if the land is an earlier grazing land or other type of farm land. She will also need to follow any local regulations and get the drawings of the house(s) approved, BEFORE she can do anything... most likely she also need to get someone to dig and lay water and sewage because of new regulations and laws... or invest in a mini sewage cleaning system...
@@StoltHDexactly, her land looks like a forest plot, at least up where she was staying. And as far i understand, there's no access road, electricity, water... they're much cheaper for a reason - you're not allowed to build there, you might never get a permit. I'm not sure what the plan was...
Eva please prioritize your safety and you don't owe the viewers any explanation. I have been stalked before and it requires following all possible avenues to defend yourself. Definitely restraining orders and I always keep weapons in my home ready to reach.
My advice make the land were you can drive in so you could get a camper on it that way you can lock doors and feel more safe from everything very pretty land best of luck
I'm not sure what the laws are there. But at the very least, I would definitely post " Private Property - No Trespassing" signs around the perimeter of the property. ( And of course, carry a firearm.)
It doesn’t matter where you live or if you have celebrity. You can be targeted anywhere by anyone. I’m glad Eva is standing tall. I hope she keeps her land and makes some safety modifications, like sleeping in her car at night and using the daylight hours to build a more permanent structure. Even if it is just a small shed to start out, along with hanging no trespassing signs, installing wire fencing at known access points, or finding a way to park her vehicle on her land. Wishing her the best ❤
It is your land and you sure keep it and live on it. This may happen anywhere you go because people are hurts. Just think about what you can do and I am sure you have friends that will help you. Just don’t gave up
On this land there is nothing protecting her. She needs four walls and a door with a driveway TO the house. She does need to move and change how she does things. Stalkers are going to stalk but she can take steps to protect herself as much as possible. Her land is untenable to live on for safety reasons.
You go girl! Be your strong resilient self. Sometimes fears try to creep in. Being proactive using whatever means is available will shrink those little fears to nothing. Keep on keeping on never look back or question a decision.
Dear Eva,
please never address the stalker directly in your videos.
It will encourage him to continue.
These are sick people.
They don't "function" like healthy people.
Please do a bit of research on the topic of stalking.
And: Always trust your intuition.
Fear is a helpful feeling that protects us.
I wish you the very best. Stay safe.
Thank you for all the years of content,
that empowers women to do their thing. 💛

Talk with other celebrities and You Tubers. They must have come across this and have way to deal with it.
that's exactly my thought
Yep, I also think she should probably really research stalking.
I agree. Part of this video makes me really uncomfortable for Eva. I understand trying to feel empowered by shouting that you won't be afraid or stopped, but it's just throwing down a challenge to the stalker(s).
When watching the last two videos it occurred to me that the missing ingredient to having a safe and natural home base is community. The ideal situation is living in a community where you have privacy/land and still have neighbors who keep an eye out for each other. It is the difference between living in nature and living remotely.
That was my feeling too.
100%
In some country this will also not working, like my situation, I can't go to my community because the good people of the comunity not there just bad one remained that work for dictator government and if I had property their they will inform about my property and the government to teach me good lesson for talking about their bad deed will saise my property and I know they did to many people like me
I concur
Eva made one mistake. she posted about her friend's airbnb, and reported that it was adjacent to her land. that's it. and she can never go back to that land because now she's a public figure. that was her single mistake. it was not a mistake to buy the land, or share that she bought it. it was a mistake to share her waypoint. if I were to advise her, sell the land, and buy a new plot of land, and take extraordinary measures to keep the location private. Selling your land is not giving in, it's not being a victim, it's just smart given that all of the crazy people that want to know where Eva is, now have that location saved in their phone and pinned on a map. That cannot be undone. Legal action will not save her, it's an aftermeasure at best. If she doesn't sell it, she should start a glamping business on it or something. In this video, she's appealing to the sane, reasoning person. Most of us fall into that category. She must realize that her audience is filled with sane, reasoning people, who love her in a healthy way, but also mentally unstable people who will not listen to her very reasonable, sane arguments. Unfortunately, those mentally unstable people love her in a very unhealthy way. A friend of mine is a security consultant and I just spoke with him about 10 minutes ago. He said that there is 100% chance that there are thousands of men that watch her RUclips videos who are mentally unstable and also have the means to find her for whatever reason they convince themselves of. It’s been happening for decades to Hollywood celebrities and probably hundreds of years to stage celebrities . Right now, in 2024 the unfortunate reality is one can become just as much or more of a celebrity on RUclips as in the past in Hollywood - so the same security and privacy rules apply to Eva as someone like Taylor Swift follows. In Eva’s mind she’s just a RUclipsr, a regular person, not a Hollywood celebrity, but that’s simply not the case for her. The exact same Hollywood security playbook applies to Eva. The cat is indeed out of the bag . There is absolutely nothing she can do to prevent more crazy guys from seeking her out and Stalking or worse. The best defense she has is at the moment to simply not be on that land when they come looking, because they will. Unfortunately, one cannot reason with crazy.
If it's near the Tatras, people can identify the place by the panorama of the mountains seen from the land.
Sad but true. Otherwise will be sleeping with one eye open... :/
Yes turning the land into an off grid camping and hiking Airbnb would be good idea to get income out of it
May be someone used the services of Jose Monkey
Yes, she is a public figure in a sense, but she still has her right to feel safe in her surroundings regardless
I was a victim of a stalker also, law enforcement got involved, they told me the one thing especially not to do is acknowledge the behavior, and most importantly, not to address the stalker directly. These are sick people, they view your videos addressing what they are doing as “positive reinforcement”. I know it’s too late now, you already released two videos doing just that, but based on what was recommended to me, best to not even mention the situation again. You owe your viewers NOTHING, they don’t need to know what you are dealing with. Your effort to increase awareness of the problem is actually causing you even more harm.
I think you may be correct
How so? The stalkers know they are not wanted there now. Most of the time stalkers are harmless dreamers that believe the woman will have interest in them and mean no harm. they are lonely disilluioned men who are not violent.
@ no, according to law enforcement (which included a psychologist, it was a pretty serious case), stalkers don’t take her words at face value, they simply view it as attention from her. If they went through the effort they did to locate her, these are seriously ill people, they don’t give what she is saying to them any value, it’s the fact that they view it as her “talking to them”.
@@rascal211 You Have...No idea.....🤡
She loves making herself the centre of attention though. Hard to let this aituation go just like that. WHat an opportunity!
I think most youtubers do not show their car's sign with the registernumber etc when they are filming their car, because they are trying to protect themselves from being followed by strangers like stalkers and so on.
I wish all the best for you ! I love your videoes ! Stay well !!
Don't forget to check under your vehicle for airtags
seriously, DO THIS. my ex did that to me
YES..That is popular with dirt bags
I was thinking the same thing..!
Omfg i hope she sees this
@@stackorlee6053 man.. would never have thought of this.. we live in a scary world..
I never liked that you couldn’t get your vehicle to your tent. Where ever you end up PLEASE make sure you can get to your safe place - your vehicle- easily! ❤
Did she ever say how she got the "stalker" on her property to leave her alone and not attack her up there all alone?
a small tip don't post major landmarks in your areal shots , and i think what gave your land position away was plugging your friend's hotel and talking about how near it was.i understand it's exhausting to think about every clip you take but your safety comes first. stay safe and positive !
Don't post anything even remotely identifiable if you're this concerned. Landmarks make geolocation easier, but anyone sufficiently motivated can geolocate your position even if you're out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing even remotely "scenic." You can be geolocated simply by the angle of the sun relative to the horizon combined with a visual analysis of the types of trees in the distance.
I had the same thought anytime I saw the aerial drone shots in her videos. As beautiful and cinematic as they are, it makes translocating her land a lot easier for someone thats motivated to find it. I think Id sell the current land and find another plot and keep it totally off camera, even though I know that doesnt help make any content for the channel. I think the peace of mind would be worth it.
@TCxfan same when she first posted videos of her new land i had a feeling this would happen :(
I def agree with you, she needs to start over fresh by selling the land and keep everything private moving forward.
✅
Even this video had enough identifying features that would make locating the property possible. It even had a beautiful aerial view of the tent and surrounding area. You should not do this. I would only use drone views when travelling and only post the video AFTER you have moved on from the location. I would also not describe in detail your next destination to prevent creeps from waiting for your arrival.
I have been watching your videos for a quite some time now. The places you go, things you do, and people you meet and have conversations with are genuinely interesting. So much so that I went back to before I started watching and watched old videos that I had missed before I knew about your traveling. I watched your Ted experience. That was so cool!
I think some comments in last weeks video brought up a good point. Sometimes you post time wise too close to where you actually are. First I will say I would never go to anyone's private property without an invitation. At the same time, I met you at Mt. St. Helens because you had said you were running there ahead of time, and I was kayaking out there that weekend. Sure you didn't say where the run was but 50 mile runs are few and far between. It was an easy deduction. I went in to the observatory and ate lunch, read up on the mountains new developments and kicked back in my truck and cheered the runners as they came in. I watched people much of the afternoon. The Defender is a bit of a giveaway. Some people walked by and checked it out, a few took pictures, one guy walked to it and around it 20 times or so. It was unnerving. Yet far be it from me, just another stranger, to give you security advice. I did hope though that you had a secure place to go and recover from that run. There were a few other people watching too. Some other older women in the parking lot that must have got the same uneasy feeling. I would look around and see them watching that guy too. It was a nice rest for me after a long journey on the lake, and meeting you was a wonderful end to the day. I found you to be the kind person in person that you are in your videos. Nothing fake about you. I am happy to hear you say you are taking your security much more seriously though. I hate to say it but there are some people that do not respect any boundaries, spoken or unspoken. It is not "mean" to be cold or defensive to them. I am happy your introduction to the world of sick people was not extreme, that no one actually touched you. I hope you never hesitate if that ever happens. I hope you time your video releases and events differently so you are not in danger of meeting people with bad intentions. And/or consider some kind of security if you know you will be extremely public somewhere. Body guards are a real thing for a reason. And yes you really are that well known now. You have left a huge impact on the world, and thank you for that. I wish peace always to you and Vilk.
Selling that property isn’t giving up but it’s smart business. Sell it and buy a different property and do not ever give out any kind of location even close to where you are. That should be your top priority, after all it’s about your safety and that is what matters most! ❤️🙏🏻
This is exactly what she needs to do! I would add never post from that place, determined people can always find a way.
Agreed! And she should put the property in a Trust to make it harder for someone to find it in public records. You can also get special permissions from various counties where the deeds are recorded and are public to have your information unpublished. She needs to check with an attorney in whatever county she decides to buy in, or even her current property, see what the qualifications are to unpublish her info.
I would also set up a security perimeter that alerts you when someone enters that boundary. Check with a local security expert to see how that is done.
if somebody wants to, he will find her.... unless she never films it and never talks about it. But still, he can find it anyway. If somebody wants it hard, its doable.
@@JulieMoran1832 In Poland, personal data about plot owners is not easily available. That wasn't how he found her. He found it from publications that he posts on social media and RUclips.
Wrong. Leaving or giving up what is yours isn't the answer. She's in the public eye. She will be vulnerable Anywhere. Time for a bodyguard..

All we want is eva’s safety and healthy mental health. Please be safe. Alots of prayers for you sis ❤
As a former German Shepherd owner, I believe you may be ignoring training Vilks for guarding. Vilks is with you much of the time and his instinct is to guard and protect you from harm. However, without proper training, he may not always understand how to differentiate between normal interactions and real threats. He will be looking for your guidance and leadership. The training will also be about how you communicate with him, so he understands when a situation is threating. The additional training for him can actually be fun and a greater bonding opportunity for the two of you.
In the US we'd call them a junk yard dog, the kind that roam around the yard keeping thieves out. Please train Vilk to be an aggressive guard dog.
My thoughts too, our dog was trained to the command ‘See’em off’ and she knew to bark ferociously
She is training him! She talks about it a lot on Instagram.
Great advice.
@@BringerOfLeftovers Use a trained guard dog to help train your dog. It goes faster.
Eva you didn't make a mistake buying the land! You deserve a home. It's just that we live in a dangerous world and it's best if no one knows where you live. I make videos on another channel and I say that I live in a town about 2 hours away. Yes I lied because I want to be safe! You are amazing! Sell that land and buy something new with a cottage on it and keep it private. 🤗🌸
They could also find out her new location. I think she should just stay and invest in security. Also, she is probably hyping this up for views. She could easily live in a walled structure and have a family or friend live there too for safety.
Years ago I bought a cottage in Norway, in the forest. I had to walk in deep snow up to my waist for 40 mins to get to the nearest road. I was still remote when on that road, and had to walk hours to get to nearest town. I lived there with my small dog and we loved it. Till one day it became a nightmare. Not because of the wild animals I met daily and had a close relationship with, but one mad human being. A man started hunting me in the forest with a rifle. One night he walked around my cottage knocking my windows and door. Told me what he was gonna do with me when he had played with me first. I slept with my clothes on, a big hunting knife(I am trained in martial arts) and my backpack ready. One night I had to walk hours through deep snow with my little dog in my backpack through pitch dark through the forest(not the road) while he was on our tracks. Thank God I was strong mentally and physically. I made it to town and into the police station. The man is still free. So Eva, I haven’t even watched this episode yet, but do what is best for you. Safety of our life comes first. I sold my cottage with a big loss. Used years paying it down. But that is no price compared to my life and back then, my little dogs life. I never thought I could kill, but in that moment with my hunting knife I was ready for the battle of my life. And I was determined to survive. But this hasn’t stopped me. I am looking for a new place and this time I am geared to my teeth. And not alone anymore 😁So one chapter closes and new ones are waiting ahead. You got this Eva🩷
Omg what a dangerous man, cabe be Liebe he is still free!
That’s insane! You’d think you’d be safe that far from main roads. It saddens me how difficult it seems to be to get away from other humans, particularly bad ones.
@@MariaS-y1xlaws in Norway are ridiculous. Very difficult to get anyone punished for crimes. Unless you steal from the state/governments😅
@@jemmah4723He was doing illegal business out there and wanted me away. In general I do believe we are pretty safe that far away from civilization. I was very unlucky with location. But what does not kill you…makes you stronger, so I heard👀
What a story and so unfortunate that men limit our freedom as women because of their danger. Absolutely wishing you the best!
Eva, it’s best to go with your gut. If it feels wrong, then do what you need to do. Having peace of mind is what is best.
I put up my videos in advance so i've already left the area before the episode goes public .... Glad you are able to get away and enjoy life away from those creepers.
I think a rural property with an actual building on it might be more secure. A little house or even a barn puts distance between you and interlopers that is not really possible with a tent. Of course, if you have a little house it would likely be hooked up to the grid which might make it easier to get help in an emergency. You can STILL camp on your property if you buy one that has a couple of acres .... but for security, a cabin or house is probably a conventional option and even though you seem to dislike convention, sometimes it's necessary.
That's what I said. She needs to build a permanent structure and fence around her land perimeter. Totally much safer!
Maybe semi-rural land where the neighbors watch out for each other.
I had a bad feeling right when you bought the land - you said you can’t build on it. Then you were out there alone in the tent only. Hard access, away from help. I get you wanted your sanctuary but if you had at least a cabin you are protected behind a closed door… Vilk is an amazing help and can protect you but someone could hurt him as well…😢
Also I am from Tatras in Slovakia and was wondering how are you gonna spend winter there? One night of a good snowing and you are stuck there for days.
I imagine it could get very, very cold living in a tent during a blizzard.
@@dexterford8094 for sure. I know there are different tents and some for extreme weather but live like that long term without proper amenities during winter especially for a woman would be very very hard…
@@martinam7806 Maybe this is all for show, and she really lives in the city with her family.
@@funwithfurryfriends9258definitely not for show
Well, having been a property owner for several decades now... I definitely cherish a "home base" (while still enjoying travel). However, "home base" is always a solid and defendable structure. Nobody can get in without my permission and active participation in letting them in. People can _find_ me, but they can't _get at_ me. Now, in your circumstance that's a bit more expensive proposition and there might be some legal limitations... but before you go back or change properties, I'd recommend A) not show much of it, and B) plan to either build a solid home or purchase an existing structure.
If she's going to remain a public figure and wants to stand still sometimes with her own property, stalkers will find her. Just from the layout of the inside of her house or images out her window. The key is to set up a situation that protects her as much as possible and tell everyone in the area and her support system of what is happening. She won't be able to record anywhere near where she gets her next place if she wants to make it as hard as possible to find her.
15:35 Vilk is looking around wondering who Eva is shouting at. "Where's the threat? Who do I need to protect her from?" A very special and loyal travel companion.
Yet he didn’t react at all to the stranger approaching them at her land 🤷♂️
You are an inspiration to this old woman. If it's OK, I'll keep you in my prayers for a safe and awesome life. Blessed be.
I know you have 1000+ other comments, but I still want to say how sorry I am that you had to have such a bad experience with your land. I'm a 73 year old retired guy and very glad you are bouncing back. I very much enjoy your travels and seeing places that I will never get to see.
Being an internet personality has its unique pros and cons. I remember when a youtuber I follow told about that phenomenon - certain people from his audience (whom he never met before) built a kind of relationship with him in their own minds and then during meetings talks to him as they were long time friends or family and did all things together. Knowing that it's understandable that someone fell in love with imagined version of you over your videos. It didn't legitimate violating your privacy and stalking but it's something which should be taken into consideration by every content creator. Stay safe!
Wishing you all the best Eva for your safety and freedom!! One note on this video to be aware of was your license plate number shown on your vehicle. It's just more opportunity for some creep to track you down....sending love and protection your way, love your videos, you are a huge inspiration!!
I learned a valuable lesson in my teens. While my buddy and I were camped in a USA wilderness area 4 older men walked into our campsite initiating a threatening conversation. I instinctively opened my jacket and placed my hand on my revolver and said nothing. They backed off and we high-tailed it out of there. Took us 4 hours to get to our vehicle. 55 years latter and not gun obsessive like some in the U.S. but I always carry a firearm if allowed out in the woods.
YEP!!!
You might not know this, but you can't just carry a pistol around with you in Europe.
Safely carrying a firearm where it's legal is not being a gun nut, it's being concerned about your personal safety.
Public fishing on public lands just out of Seattle there is a need to have a side arm.... not for wildlife... but for transients and hoods.
Do you know most firearms owners are just like you. There are many that would call you a gun nut. I know this from being a range officer and having taught people to handle firearms safely. Be an example and drop that phrase from your vocabulary. The vast majority of firearms owners around the world aren't nuts.
Sad that going forward, whenever you're out hiking or camping in a remote area, and come across another like minded person hiking or camping in same remote area, you'll think he's a stalker, when in fact he's a kindred spirit. You've met so many characters on your travels , made so many friends along the way, always believe in the good in people, most are thankfully 🙏🙏
I could be wrong but i dont think showing your licence plate on your vehicle is a good idea, im sure people can get some information off of it if they really had the resources, stay safe out there!!!
11:56 you can’t reason with people like that. They aren’t normal! Normal/logically people don’t need to be told not to go and find you. They wouldn’t do that. A stern talking to via RUclips isn’t going to be enough.
My wife is a tough outdoor type. She tells me that things are so different for females. Even going for a country walk on her own she is always on her guard for dodgy men, even though here in the Norman countryside we feel safer than we ever have anywhere. I never give that sort of thing a thought when I`m out and about.( Get yourself a proper guard dog to go with Vilk).
Vilk just needs to learn how to stick close and watch for questionable humans... he's already quite well trained he just has to learn how to do safely what his instincts will tell him.
Camp somewhere else anonymous...
You are wise to listen to your wife and recognize how women see the world. Lol it seems like a lot of men do not have capability to do this
@@Kelseashell Women stalk also...i put up with it for 20yrs..!
@dmystify1381 😂😂 you miss the point.
@@dmystify1381 There's always one man crying "me too" isn't there? Or are you a Pick Me?
Eva you are beautiful, resilient, and smart, your spirit of adventure is so apparent and I'm so excited to see where you're being redirected to next! Stay safe and continue to be in joy 💝
Still shocked someone thought it appropriate to seek you out on your own land. What a creep. He should be ashamed of himself.. ruining your peace of mind and safe place :( wishing you the best of luck! ✌🏽💜
You're right, but sooner or later someone would have done the same. Perhaps an even worse person. She definitely needs to be more careful of sharing locations, especially for places where she stays more often.
It is not apropriate. If that guy has gone on a hike and just by happenstance took a wrong turn and got to cross Mrs. zu Beck's path, that's one thing. But to go there on purpose to pester the lady ... that's just not done.
The one who walked up the road was one thing maybe need some education, but the Psycho who after violating your land and if your tent was up he likely explored that too; then flew to where your National Geographic filming contract was is just too obsessed, he needs 4 walls and a cot for some time!
Far more dangerous than just being a creep. Delusional behaviour is truly scary as they can justify anything in their twisted minds.
I don't get people sometimes. Eva, we met in person once. In Prescott, AZ, when you were on the Pan American trip. It was at a Maverick gas station. All I cared about was looking at your truck. I saw my dream build for a vehicle.
I didn't even know who you were at that time. Two weeks later, by chance, I came across your RUclips channel. While looking up truck builds similar to Odyssey.
It baffles me how delusional people can be in thinking. That two people are meant to be together. When you never met that person at all.
Stalkers do suck. I promise from my end, I'm not delusional in that department. I enjoy your content and that's about it.
Happy trails to you.
Thank you for all that you do. It's truly inspiring and fun to watch.
Lots of incels out there. 😅
vasoline or any oil rubbed on the paper bag will help start the fire. also a candle with its wax..vasoline rubbed into cotton balls is a classic fire starter
After 60 years of camping, I use a propane torch. It cost $3 and tanks are cheap. It will start a fire in a light rain.
I'm so sorry Eva. It Sucks! But consider the possibility that where you go next is even better.
Thank you, Eva, for having the courage and skill to make this episode. The story is universal, pivotal, and important. Whatever decision you make is neither right nor wrong, but it's yours. Most people will not choose, and instead, live in attachment and fear. Om mani pame hum.
You are an inspiration. I love that you are not making purely fear based decisions. You are being smart to play offense. Don’t let the bastards grind you down! We are with you. Btw- there are people out there that specialize in hunting these stalkers down. They usually get a kick out of it too. In Texas we’d say “gather the posse.” Get em girl.
As an ex-British infantry soldier and someone who has worked in the security circuit for the last twenty years, I'm sure I'm among many who would like to give you a reassuring hug and tell you everything is going to be alright. You got this. Always trust your gut instincts and do what you need to do.
The other virwer's comment is correct, do not challenge a stalker, it can be an invitation... Other female youtubers do not post their videos until they are out of the area they filmed on. Like 2 weeks later.
Praying for your safety (for about 3 years).
There are always risks to living off-the-grid. Most people prefer just to ignore that part of the story. Gotta be careful!
You're a ROCKSTAR, Eva. 😎💯 That's why fans or people who idolize you will find you to get a glimpse of you, to take a picture with you, maybe get an autograph and talk to you. Being famous is hard specially when it comes to your privacy. That's why famous people doesn't broadcast or show what they do in private or where they stay or live. STAY SAFE! 👍
So so really sorry. Be safe. Yes camping in unannounced places are best for now
So so happy you didn't quit. You are a truly special person
On the one hand, it's an opportunity. Build an Airbnb or rent out the land to campers and purchase another property to live on and keep private.
I am so sorry. It breaks my heart that some men are just assholes.
Thanks for keeping yourself safe and doing what's right for you in spite of what everybody else says. I hope things work out for you for the better and you can continue to do what you're doing. I wish there was a way I could help.
Not men. These are sick lunatics. 99.9% of men are great.
So sorry you are going through this!!
You gotta protect yourself….gun, taser, something! And maybe set up a boundary to make sounds if they trip it. Stay safe! ☺️🙏🏻
Self-sufficiency goes a lot deeper than just feeding yourself or paying bills. Always prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. You're a beautiful person and a strong and capable human.
Take some jui-jitsu or something
Great idea, she should definitely take some self defense courses.
I've always believed one of the smartest things Eva has done, is to get that awesome dog Vilk. He's probably kept you from being harmed, more often then you could measure. His look is very intimidating and has probably scared many potential stalkers away. Never travel without him, he'll keep you safe.
Like I said last video... Wilk. He will protect you to the end. Notice how when you started yelling he went on immediate alert. I love Shepherds.
Teach him the taste for a certain part of the male anatomy with a specific command...
I remember how happy you were on your first night on your own property. Whatever you do, don't let anyone steal your joy. That gives them way too much power.
✅
I know! I was so excited she finally found land of her own! I think once she builds some permanent structures on that land and isn't just sleeping vulnerable in a tent, everything will be much safer. People would be less willing to break into a house than breaking in on a woman sleeping alone in a tent. Save the tent for camping.
Absolutely love your channel Eva! I just recently started my own RUclips channel and you’re such an inspiration to me and so many young women out there. You really inspire courage and bravery!
Sending you strength and greetings from London. Thank you ❤
Wow London 👌. Wish to visit your place before I left this beautiful world 🌎 😢 😭
😊👍 I have loved that line since I first heard it! Don't let the bastards grind you down! FIGHT ON!
Remember,Your life is someone else's dream..... Be happy be strong 💪💪💪💪😊😊😊
Be strong Eva! You are a fighter. We are all gutted by these two individuals who have invaded your privacy and terrorized you. I wish I had an answer for you regarding your land. That’s a tough and emotional subject to tackle. You will make the right choice. Sending you protective energy your way.
Hi Eva, I’m a grandma person, 66 years old. I’m glad you’re going to keep doing videos. A suggestion is to keep your home private. Show only non-traceable parts. What do you think?🤗Hugs, 💖Love, and🦋Butterfly blessings sent your way today and always.🤗💖🦋
Thank you for enlightening people about stalking by sharing your situation. And thanks to the people commenting. I have never experienced stalking. Scary and good to get some insight and thoughts on how to avoid it and defend personal boundaries.
15:08 We're so PROUD of you Eva. The WORLD belongs to the Brave! 💪
You always have a healthy outlook on things Eva. You are such a strong woman! I love that you won’t don’t let fear get in your way. I’m sorry that happened to you. I wish you the best of luck on your life’s journey!! And I’ll be here quietly cheering you on!! 😊
You are such a kind soul. You don't deserve this stress.
You're a lot more than what you think or say you are. You really are something else!
No wonder the many loves from the hearts of so many. Thank you for shining your light so bright.
I was actually waiting for this to happen. Surprised it took this long. You should have never told anyone where the place is, just show the tent and little of the land
You are more than welcome to come and stay at my family’s property in northern Wisconsin (right on Lake Superior). We usually have a lot of snow and a lot of privacy. It’s beautiful!
Lol, I doubt she's in a staying at a strangers house kinda mood right now.
Sad, maybe find some friends who you trust to also live on that land with you? We live in a scary world no matter where you are. Hope you can go back. I have enjoyed all the places you bring me to. You live a amazingly life, if only I was a little younger, starting out I would have loved the adventures😊
Continue to make your videos and post them a month after you have left that area. Also, NEVER depend on a restraining order, NEVER , because it will NOT stop that person !
100%
This event precipitated her decision ahead of time. She would have eventually left this situation as she is an adventure girl and building a house and stay there would have been too much for her at the moment...
I think so too. She likely realized that the property wasn't really sustainable to live on year round. JMO
We got our share of stalkers in the US. And all too often they are not treated correctly. Sometimes the victims are not taken seriously or made out to be the cause of the stalking. Or there is simply nothing the authorities can do about it. As a victim of stalking I can tell you it is absolutely terrible. You are aware of it 24/7. You have to be. And all too often a restraining order is just a piece of paper.
Either you set up some traps for this mother f"r.. or yes sell and buy new land.
And make sure there's no landmarks around you. Cause that's how they're finding you. It's usually whenever you go into town for supplies if you film that they will follow you from that particular town.
Difficulty: anything can be a landmark, even if you think it's not particularly noteworthy.
I didn't see any land marks in her videos. Someone may have told that guy where she was staying on her land. Someone in a local store that may know where she is.
The guy probably found her car parked by the road (her plates are clearly readable from most new videos) and simply explored the area until he found her. I don't think the guy just happened to go mushroom-picking at her land. He knew exactly what he was doing. I think it's doable if you want to find someone so obsessively :(
@@pyrioncelendil it's not difficult to do a screenshot. And then you do a picture reversal on google and google will take you there
My grandfather was from Warsaw, so it's nice a bit of Poland; since i haven't been there - it's beautiful!!
I would just plan-out, permit and build your dream home on the land you worked so hard for...
You go girl! Be smart, be tough but most of all, be who you are. You have all the tools you need to work through this situation and I am confident that you will! Take care and enjoy life. Cheers.
Eva your travelling alone is inspirational, but also makes me nervous. Having community around is the best solution to keep odd folks at bay. I know of other youtubers that were trespassed and stalked, even having stuff stolen etc. Your location has to be absolutely secret, with no regional references to place. When you travel far then its ok to mention places. But for your safety living in a trusting community is best.
Get a couple of friends to stop on land and give the visitors a friendly welcome.
Rotties or Beorbels do nicely ..livestock and home guardian breeds. 😉
Clearly Eva didn't grow up binge-watching criminal minds. That show taught be how one person who is crazy and determined enough will do whatever it takes to find you and hurt you.
I love your way of seeing the world Eva. I share your view of most people in the world being safe and good intentioned. In fact, you inspired me to travel the world and my own country bravely!
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this situation. It is a powerful reminder for me to be careful as I share my own travels.
I hope this is a necessary step to something even better and more aligned for you ❤
it was a mistake making a video about it and especially showing it. Thats why most streamers and youtubers never show the outside of where they live, even not through the windows to the outside, because if you can see a half decent view through the window, you can pretty easily more or less pinpoint someones location, especially if knowing what country/city/area they are in.
I think that when you but land they can find it anyway. Video or not.
The mistake was the stalkers. Showing up uninvited. This is why we choose the bear. You are victim shaming.
@@tremor_n_hawkthis, thank you. The illegal behaviour is the problem.
@@tremor_n_hawk Yes. 100% victim shaming here. This sucks. She just did what a ton of people do. Should no RUclipsr or celebrity or successful person ever leave a window open in their home? I guess not, if you listen to this person.
@@tremor_n_hawkNo it's not,its a practical suggestion, not a moral judgment. Shame has nothing to do with it.
Hell yeah Eva! Take charge of the situation & don't let anyone scare you or deter you from your dream & from living your best life! 💯💪🏼 Don't sell your land you just bought it. It's a beautiful place & it's your! 💯 You are strong, brave & awesome! Take care! 💯 💪🏼🐺✌🏼
I get that you're trying to be supportive but this is very bad advice. As another commenter said, "the well is poisoned". She can't live there anymore. It's just the reality. Stalkers are not to be messed with. They don't think like other people do.
my lady friends all carry pocket guns but in usa most places legal--i would have one even if blurry on being legal because safety is #1
i think legally she can as well, wear a pistol on your hip while on your land, have a gate and signs, own a big dog
Eva, others have given sound advice. I will add only one thing, if you choose to remain on the property, you must build a structure that will keep unwanted visitors out. Is cell service good there? If not, maybe a sat. Phone, or a long range radio. I'm glad to see you keep your chin up. ❤❤
A proper house in the mountains instead of a tent. Don't run away or nothing will change. And if you start to run away there is a risk you will never stop.
She's probably (Most likely) not allowed to build a proper house there.
No, the mountains are too isolated. She needs to be just close enough to civilisation in case of an emergency
She is already beyond that point. Since a few years she's been running away, and when she tries to stop, she changes everything again, so that she can continue running. She's so delusional, thinking women can be strong and independent. But reality proves that women belong to a vulnerable group. They have to attach to a strong community and a strong man, and this man has to build her a strong house with sturdy walls. Since thousands of years, women have chosen this kind of lifestyle to be safe from crazy people outside.
@@KMSBoss2010That's the problem. No one will help her. She's alone in the woods. Police won't help her. No neighbors etc. It's a high risk area
@@steffwo without men she wouldn`t need a man to protect her from other crazy men.
So pleased you are in a better mental space......Don't let the bastards grind you down........was one of my favourite sayings when i worked for a large American company based in the UK. Just follow your gut but never give in or be intimidated by another unstable human being.
I wish the human race was as loyal and unselfish as the animal kingdom, it would be such more of a happy journey through this life.
Anyway you have a wonderful personal bodyguard by your side....All he want's is your love a bit of play and a nice bowl of food and it's clear to see the love between you two, Vilk was the best thing, you two were made for each other. David. From a cold snowy England.
World is full of fruit cakes, sad lonely mixed up people, men who think a woman on her own must need a man etc etc. I love seeing your videos and your way of life, but hope I am well enough balanced not to get carried away by them. It is your life and no-one has the right to inflict their unwarranted prejudices and needs on to you. I would say keep your privacy, live on your land but have steps in place to protect yourself. A proper building, fencing, more dogs maybe, hire someone to look after the place when you are on your travels. Be safe, most of us admire what you do, you're brilliant at your career - don't let anyone get you down!
I have always loved the safety of sleeping the back of my pickup with a camper shell. Alway make sure there is some air flow for condensation.
Dear Eva, my wife and I watch your videos regularly. We actually wait for you to post new videos. It was inspiration from you that we bought an SUV for off-road travelling. Some day, we might start full time travelling like you do. Couple of months ago, we actually decided to buy land away from our city of residence, and live off grid…. Now about your incidence … you are a brave girl. Don’t let stupidity of two individuals make you alter your major life decisions. Stay blessed.
This isn't good advice. She absolutely needs to respond to this and make more informed decisions about her new reality.
The pure love between Eva and Vilk at 13:53, i guess Vilk will give his life for her when needed, ...🧡🧡🧡
buy a backup cable and keep it always in your car
Buy back up everything as all cables and batteries wear out!
I'll always recommend the mountains and rivers in western Oregon. They're just so incredibly calming and healing. You've got this, you're a woman which means you were born fierce. 💜
It's unfortunate everywhere in Oregon is so expensive. That was one of my options but the prices are just unreachable...especially if you want land and some solitude.
Keep the land Eva, but build a cabin. Surrounded with a electrified razor wire fence.

Also, a pet Golden Eagle, nesting on the roof, trained to go in talons first, then beak !
🦅
At the same time as Vilk !
🙏
Peace
💛
🍓🐿
Eva, my heart goes out to you. I have traveled in active war zones and lots of other extremely remote and dangerous places. Everyone deserves to feel safe at home.
Don't let anyone stop you from what you love. Be careful. And don't let those creeps know they rattled you.
It is too late. They probably watch the videos.😢
Wishing you the very best Eva! ❤🙏 I’m glad you have Vilk! 🐕
Stay strong Eva and be safe!
You could also invest in putting up signage like Private Property, Keep Out, No Tresspassing. That way you know anyone you find on your property is most likely up to no good.
I can,t tell you how happy I,am to see a smile on your face Eva. Good for you!!
Very impressive camera catch, quickly getting back in frame, maintaining camera and thought focus. Mad skills!
I get a permant home there, like one of those German Huf Haus were you pick a design they build it in a factory and come and build it all in a week, everything included, furniture, Cookers, Toilets and Beds, with solar panels for off grid living burglar alarms as well, Back up battery and generator if needed! Think you'll be safer in a Huf haus than a tent or in your car
- But you actually need a permit to build on land in Poland and most European land, not every land plot is legal to just build on, you need a plan, you need a landscape architect to draw your buildings into the land etc. etc.
Especially if the land is an earlier grazing land or other type of farm land.
She will also need to follow any local regulations and get the drawings of the house(s) approved, BEFORE she can do anything... most likely she also need to get someone to dig and lay water and sewage because of new regulations and laws... or invest in a mini sewage cleaning system...
@@StoltHDexactly, her land looks like a forest plot, at least up where she was staying. And as far i understand, there's no access road, electricity, water... they're much cheaper for a reason - you're not allowed to build there, you might never get a permit. I'm not sure what the plan was...
Eva please prioritize your safety and you don't owe the viewers any explanation. I have been stalked before and it requires following all possible avenues to defend yourself. Definitely restraining orders and I always keep weapons in my home ready to reach.
I believe building a wall with a robust security
My advice make the land were you can drive in so you could get a camper on it that way you can lock doors and feel more safe from everything very pretty land best of luck
don't let jerks determine your future - I was stalked and moved area and have regreted it my entire life
Why did/do you regret it?
I'm not sure what the laws are there. But at the very least, I would definitely post " Private Property - No Trespassing" signs around the perimeter of the property.
( And of course, carry a firearm.)
It doesn’t matter where you live or if you have celebrity. You can be targeted anywhere by anyone. I’m glad Eva is standing tall. I hope she keeps her land and makes some safety modifications, like sleeping in her car at night and using the daylight hours to build a more permanent structure. Even if it is just a small shed to start out, along with hanging no trespassing signs, installing wire fencing at known access points, or finding a way to park her vehicle on her land. Wishing her the best ❤
It is your land and you sure keep it and live on it. This may happen anywhere you go because people are hurts. Just think about what you can do and I am sure you have friends that will help you. Just don’t gave up
On this land there is nothing protecting her. She needs four walls and a door with a driveway TO the house. She does need to move and change how she does things. Stalkers are going to stalk but she can take steps to protect herself as much as possible. Her land is untenable to live on for safety reasons.
You go girl! Be your strong resilient self. Sometimes fears try to creep in. Being proactive using whatever means is available will shrink those little fears to nothing. Keep on keeping on never look back or question a decision.
