Bri from Rico saying hi!! I’m so happy you stopped in the Fireweed and I got to meet you! Nikki is as genuine in person as she conveys in videos 💛
You're cool!
I thought she would be. 😊
I've totally thought this from her first videos.
On January 29th, I found 5 newborn puppies (with umbilical cords still attached to their bellies) in a dumpster. Three of them survived and are about to turn 6 months old. Before I got them, I didn't care much about my health and safety, but now I even go to the doctor for stupid things because I'm afraid of dying. I know no one will take care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats if I die. Now I think twice before doing anything.
I'm the same way about my 2 cats and 1 dog!
Bla bla you probably a karen white woman ❤❤
sending you lots of love and blessings from Australia ,you have a beautiful soul please look after yourself Bc all your fur babies need their Mum God Bless you Margarita🤗🙏💞
That is literally the most beautiful thing I've heard in a while.
Thank you for rescuing! You're an angel on earth! 😇
Nikki is one of my favorite vloggers. She cares about viewers - and works hard to produce helpful content. Awesome woman. Cute too.
Yes. Rico!
Name your new plant Rico! Your safety tips remind me of one of your videos from a year or 2 ago, where you were parked for the night and felt some unsettling vibes. I can't remember if you moved your vehicle (but I think you did) to somewhere you felt more safe. Recently, your cousin Sarah was embarking on her 1st wild camping experience and she too felt something was off and left for a more public spot -- I think it was a Love's truck stop. My point being is that perhaps trusting your instincts is an excellent safety tip -- if something, or a place or a person is making you uneasily twitch, follow your gut and hightail yourself out to a more secure location or somewhere where assistance is more readily available. Love your new blanket you purchased along with your dashboard plant! I can't wait to see the design for your own blanket you selected for your next Shop item!
I love this!!! Rico! Tho he’s not doing so hot, trying to revive him! Hah! I totally agree instinct is everything! And yay, I can’t wait to share the design with everyone in the coming months!❤️❤️❤️
Those dogs are sooo great!!! Yes those people could sleep overnight and then get rescued. If you got a drone that could get help for you. Those Mts are beautiful...hidden gems in them but prices can be high
NAME IT RICOARAMA
Noooo! Hang in there Rico!😊@@NikkiDelventhal
No, not Rico!!
Just put yourself in the mind's of Camper and Rodney it must be so exciting for them to be in a different place everyday the sights the sounds the smells I guess that's dog heaven
Might be weird, but you bought the plant at Fireweed and it's new home is the Delvenhauler, so maybe the Delvenweed? 😂
Name for the baby plant: Dasher (given its seat in the van and its frontward position like Santa's reindeer).
All your safety tips are recommended for anyone who lives/works for extended periods on the road, so thank you, Nikki, especially the satellite SOS. Run-flat tires and your Jackery are also worthwhile safety investments. I'm glad Sarah, Tori, and you survived the mudbath and got to enjoy the cold plunge. Safe travels to all of you!🙏🏾❤️👍🏾
Especially if it takes up residence on the dashboard! good name...
Love ur videos u inspired me to take my 10 year old daughter on a cross country trip and hit most big land marks and we did it all in a Prius and camped in there unfortunately the Prius went down in Arizona and had to fly home to nc but we were out a week and hit every where we wanted to we had so much fun and made so many memories wouldn’t have been possible if I would’ve never came across ur videos and they helped us a lot keep up the great work I hope many more people do the same thing thank you so much
I wish I had been able to do that with my girls.. they were up and out by the time these type vids came out.. I think your daughter will remember that always, good on you
I’m late to this video but what you said about maxing out on your options rings so true. A couple weeks ago my garage door mysteriously opened by itself in the middle of the night and I’ve taken multiple steps to improve my security since then, from getting a stronger door between the house and garage, to installing an alarm, and even signing up for a self defense class.
America has always been about a free nomad spirit . Glad to see someone still practices this almost lost but not forgotten lifestyle.
It is so cute that Camper always sits in the driver's seat at departure and rides shotgun for the trip. Good thing he is handsome because he doesn't share the driving.
Get a pair of large men’s hiking boots (goodwill) and put outside the door at night. Set up 2+ chairs outside
When I use to take my kids camping which was over 20 years ago I always set up another chair. I think this has become such a thing now I would not rely on that.
No storage room
Jfc
Tori and I are so glad we got to see you and make such amazing memories together ❤ we miss you already!!
My best tip is always trust your instincts. I traveled coast to coast many times and had a couple scary experiences but I think by trusting my gut feeling I remained safe.
Camper and Rodney are a total kick! Love them both to bits! Please stay safe and wonderful!
Name your plant Rico.
I respect your thinking. Sometimes I had to park within a city when I drove over the road. These days I am quite a bit older. My biggest concern is trying to not injure myself. Be safe, Nikki.

Ahhh yes! I remember that vividly! I agree on gut reactions! Thank you! I too am soooo excited to finally release it, waiting on a few samples as we speak!!! 🫶🏼💪🏼
She had no such video, dear owner of magnificent breasts. She was the one telling the story. “I was at a truck parking lot. I got up at night and felt “they grabbed me!!” I got behind the wheel and drove for 2 hours without stopping.” It's not because she was captured. This is because of the public places where she twirled her butt. Because the real evil is in public places. Which is looking for a way to get close unnoticed. And when a person is left alone, the intoxication of smiles goes away and dormant fear comes.
@@NikkiDelventhalей ты!! Я первый хотел ей ответить!!!
Wowzee! I know right?
@@NikkiDelventhal yes rico, spanish for rich
It's just so beautiful there, so nice to see you catch up with friends and being safe is always important.
Friday's are always better with Nikki! 🙌🤗 Thank you for the great videos! Keep them coming! 🦋
Thank you! Fridays are better here with interactions and love like this! We are so appreciative! ❤️
@@NikkiDelventhal yes they are
You are truly blessed to have so many people that care about your safety 🙏💫
I just recently stumbled across you and you have a cool fulfilled spirit. Which is a 10 out of 10 for a new viewer like me. 😊
Please consider a Cosair card. what does it do? The card helps reimburse the expenses of search and rescue missions, by funding the Colorado Search and Rescue Reimbursement Fund. Many organizations need the money if they are called out
"Oliver" the plant. 🙂 And Sarah and Tori!! How cool, I love them!! Awesome to see you guys hanging out, and the Krav Maga tips were actually really useful. I will remember those moves, and all your great advice as well...not only useful for vanlifers but for anybody out camping and exploring.
Happy weekend, everyone 💚 I hope you all have a great one 😊
Not sure what your regime is in terms of diet and exercise, but you are looking the fittest and healthiest I've seen you look for years. You are absolutely glowing from head to toe. Great content, stay happy and healthy.
Find someone who loves your dog as much as you ❤
we camped right across from Lizzard Head trailhead..amazing up there! Be safe & happy travels!!
Just starting the video, I found myself spontaneously smiling seeing Camper and Rodney. I miss them in the few videos that don’t include them.
@12:10 - Another safety tip to add is always to check your vehicle before and after a trip - the fluids , tire pressue , any noticeable "spots" where the vehicle was parked.
Hopefully it's not too serious about your truck.
@17:38 Great tip not to put any PII - Personal Identifiable Information that tells you who you may be.
Always double check that you have everything before leaving a location like the leveling-blocks ( LOL )
Great Idea Nikki vlog on Saftey ,it dosent hurt to refresh and regroup ,I live in sticks and bricks and always do my checks on safety when alone ,I love my sensor lights around my home and cameras would not do without them Safety First. Loved the quirky little shop lovely lady so freindly and helpful, Your new plant my suggestion Rocky bc those little guys come from rocky terrain ,thats why they are so hardy .Im with you with rugs so i try to avoid shops that sell them Im a shocker .Awesome catch up with Torri and Sarah i thought they rescued a stray puppy i was waiting to see it🤔anywho ,the boys loved them they are gorgeous Girls Hope you have a week long blast catching up with them.God Bless you all 🙏
Awesome video as always Nikki, Camper and R.V. You always give us the best and most helpful advice and you always hang out with the most amazing people. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.
I love this channel and all the people Nikki associates with!!! Everyone in general should always be aware of your surroundings especially in this day and age regardless if you living on the road or going to the store. But if living on the road you should always be prepared for anything and you should have some way to defend yourself and or your belongings, whether thats pepper spray a taser loud alarms or even a conceal carry because someone who is up to no good does not care about you in the least. I'm no expert at all but I am always aware of my surroundings.....
This was a good com. Safety is always a first priority in life. We take this for granted most of the time but your outline and tips ware very important. The fact that you have the courage and ability to travel alone is a highlight of the modern age. The best as always to you and your travels.
Even if you have a spare tire, an inflation kit and a plug kit allow you to fix most flats (and maintain your tire pressure) quickly. All by yourself. WalMart or Amazon can supply you with them.
Put security film on you van windows. Helps prevent breakins both while you're in the van and while you're away.
Very good Nikki. As a 74 year old male traveler I am sorry that you, a young woman, should have to feel, correctly, so vulnerable. Having said that I will also say that I travel “armed”.
The fact that you made such a comment like that proves to me that there really are decent and caring men out there who would never think of harming a woman. You sir are the definition of class and sincerity, and you truly make this world a better place, so thank you for being you....and thank you for your honesty where you as a man even fear your fellow man and travel "armed" just because of that reason.
From the very beginning of time, we have always had to endure being in fear of man, and sadly, nothing has changed.
You however, are in a different league all together....a league where the good guys exist!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
HI NIKKI, Your plant babies new name choices are (I'm partial to #1):
1) Vincent Van Grow (because it's growing in a van)
2) Sir Pokes A Lot
3) Mr. Prickles
4) Button
5) Sprout
Safe travels to you three 💛🐾
Sir, I DO NOT think that this nice lady appreciates YOUR GROSS SEXUAL Innuendos .. keep your potty mouth to yourself and stop with the PHALLIC suggestions
Hi nikki I'm Vaughan from Australia I enjoy your videos I would live to live in a van etc and travel you look great keep up the great work stay safe
How about if you make a bumper sticker that says, "Dogs RULE this van."
When your boondocking like that you should try and use your four low range on the transfer case. It takes a lot of stress off of the engine and stops it from overheating.
Or you could keep it in 4/4 high and shift your transmission into first or second gear depending on the speed you were going
Great video from one of my favorite areas, Nikki. I've loved this area since I first visited in 1965 and, other than Telluride, this part of highway 145 has changed very little over the years. I find the scenery from Dolores to Telluride even better than along the Million Dollar Highway, but the MDH does stimulate your adrenaline production quite a bit more!
This drive is especially nice in the autumn. Come back here in September and the colors are off the chart.
What beautiful scenery and I loved the timelapse at night section so gorgeous. That was a lovely cute shop and the blanket is beautiful. Oops Rodney your cute but eating all the food was naughty, very hard when he is so cute and lays like a baby in your arms x
Sooo glad you have a backup system with family and friends! I’ve wondered about that. Plus I love the fur babies with you when you sleep and in the passenger seat when driving. Just know I have you and the puppers in my prayers 🙏👍😎💕🐕🐕
Love your safety tips! So true and so good! Love your channel and your videos and travels and scary spooky camping adventures and stories! Over all I love the outdoors. And you are so beautiful ❤. Call it baby desert plant.?! Love your camping ⛺️ vehicles! Outdoors with all the amenities. Ok STAY SAFE & like I suggest be watchful of your surroundings! Please keep making those videos they are awesome!!!!
And having a dog or better more than one for your safety and sanity😉☺🐕🐕💕 Happy safe travels!
Yeah dogs have a good sense of something not being right and will start barking if something is off.
Oooo, I didn't know there were those dispersed spots near Alta Lakes! We camped in the official campground by the lakes a couple of years ago, one of our favorite areas in the San Juans.
I appreciate you Mrs nikki .thank you for your sharing this amazing journey.
I was living with my van more than 2 years in czech republic..actually that's was amazing live and happiness but just August 5 I living in Wellington. New Zealand
Really enjoyed my time with you on this adventure and all your safety tip were on point, now I loved the small but wonderful coffee house you went into because you lucked out with a great cup of coffee that beautiful blanket and that wonderful plant 🪴 but what really made this adventure was when you got to your destination and met up with the two ladies you hadn’t seen in awhile and it sure was nice to see so happy hanging out with them also can’t forget your two little baby’s aka you precious dogs and I truly love dogs and yours are amazing, now with that I’ll see you on the next amazing adventure peace ☮️ out ✌️
Name it Rico! We love your channel, adventures and pups! I always tell my pup Sophie that Camper is her boyfriend. 😄
Good to see Sarah and Tori again. Girls are so much fun. Boys, not so much, even me (dogs excepted). ¡Hurra por las mujeres!
Hey Nikki, Truck driver here. You should sign up to one of the truck stop programs it's absolutely free. Every 50 gallons earns you a free shower & points. Also can i ask. What camera setup are you using
What a beautiful area to camp in. You really find some great places!❤
My family and I will fly over from Europe for 3 weeks next year. Rented a Solis at Indie Campers from Denver. Good to see some safety tips I'll be able to use :)
Nikki , Dollar General sells outdoor motion senser lights for about 10.00$ . There solar powered , and should be perfect for you .
Look forward to Fridays and seeing your videos 😎
Van Plant Delventhal, loved Rodney taking advantage of you not watching, Camper and Rodney are so awesome!!!
Travel videos are comfort videos
Nikki,Camper, Rodney, and girls,y'all rock! ❤ Peace
Glad you have a plan. Love your episodes and your doggies!
Been with you for years, I don’t know you even though I feel I do. I have seen you change and grow. You are always welcome here in Idaho. You remind me of my daughter so much. Love Dogs. Proud of you. Glad you are well and God bless you.
Is so great to hear that you take safety so seriously. Safety should come first in every situation. How great are those two girls? Pretty amazing if you ask me. Stay safe and happy travels. P.S. you should call your baby plant " hot baby " because it sits in the sun all day. See ya next week
Good decision re midnight people in trouble... good advice all around!
Aw, dear Nikki, hello! Thank you very much! I am so glad to see your new videos!
Hi Nikki, Jason from Alaska here ,I have recently started watching your videos and I love them, especially camper and rodney, just wanted to say YOU ROCK
You always have to be aware of people, you never know what their intentions might be, especially when traveling and being on your own. Stay safe out there
I never get out of my van after I am set for the night until my dog had diarrhea and I had no choice but to take her out twice. Luckily she is a shepherd and she is very protective. Not ideal but situations arise when you have dogs.
Wow, small world. I used to watch Sarah and now you're meeting them. Be safe always!
I would go with Sprout for the plant or C.P. (For cute plant 😆)
Good job safety first always stay safe everyone ❤😊
I worried about you in the Prius, but the Sprint Camper plus two dogs is definitely better! Keep in camping! 😊
situational awareness is the best defense! leave the area if needed, never advertise what you are willing to do! WELL DONE! BE SAFE! Prayers! GARMIN INREACH! OH! and dogs are a girl's best friend! they will know if you are under stress!
Thanks for the good security advice. I just hate it when I sink in the slimy mud.
So awesome you are promoting and getting out there how to safely a woman should travel!! Yes everyone can benefit from your tips but especially women because we can never be too careful even on just short trips. Always being aware of your surroundings and doing our best to stay safe is such a huge thing for us women!!!!! And thank you for giving me more people to follow and see things I wouldn’t normally see!!! And they seem like sweethearts. Definitely going to check out their RUclips videos !!! They seem like genuinely great girls!!!!!!
Nikki Delventhal You Are Truly Such An Amazing Spirit!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Here s a tip you probably didnt think about a few STURDY Maps that wont tear easy on Mt roads...you may have to hike out or see where the next town is
Your new plant is shaped like a “star “!
Love you all are friends. You’re my favorite utubers.
Got to have coffee with Nikki and the boys this morning! So fantastic! Thank you for all these wonderful tips! I don’t share all my tricks for things because a good magician never does. :P Oh gosh, Trent’s great! 😂😂😂 You’re tempting me to make an instagram just so I can see your stories. You have awesome ones! Safe travels!
If you watch Snow and Curt, they had an episode where they had someone try to break into their van and how the shatter-proof window film saved them. They actually filmed it while it happened!
Bullet-proof car window $2000
I switched to a manual grounder love it ❤ except I’m not coordinated to pour a pot so I love my French press
Yay! We made the safety tip list with the magnetic motion lights! Great video and other tips. ❤
How to you treat the dogs for fleas?
Girl I could not do those high roads, I give you all so much credit. The scenery was beautiful when you got there though.
Hi Nikki wanted to let you know I saw a commercial for Nevada at the end of the Commercial I saw you dancing on the top of your van, I remember when you did it from your RUclips channel. Keep safe
Loved the time lapse of the night sky. More please.
I noticed when you was asking about safety no one mentioned putting indoor locks on all of the doors
Love this tip!
2 extra locks from inside all doors. Never sleep near a window and 9mm under your bed.
You have the option for Off Road Recovery clubs to come help. I had to do that in NV when I hit Peanut butter mud towards a mountain top camp site. Thanks for the advice. I am a solo male, but it's good information for solo females. 5I do back in being a male , too. Thanks so much.
Good day.put sliding bolts onto your doors on the inside plus smash and grab film on all Windows.
😭😭😭,,,I heard a story in the news, that this couple stop an help these people that were stranded in a road an they gave them a ride an sadly the couple were murdered , , next time I see somebody stranded on a road,, I am going pedal to the floor , ,
You got Two attack dogs 🐕, I use pepper 🌶️ spray and 38 special,haven’t had to use either.
Nikki D.❤,
Loving the Friday check in! Kisses to Camper & Rodney V.❌⭕️🐾❤️‼️
First off, the opening of this video has to be one of my favorites you've done! The music and nature clips were so good and such a great way to intro this vid!
Secondly, I might have had a slight freakout when my name and safety tip popped up on the screen😂 I wasn't expecting that at all! I FaceTime'd my partner I was so excited I was "in" a video with you😂 (nerd alert👋🏼)
Thank you! Hahaha! 🥰🥰🥰 yayyy! You guys are the best!!!
I'm South African and it's tough being a woman or a child here but I'm realizing that we're not alone. Thank you for safety tips girls, noted!
I'm surprised you didn’t say anything about having a dog not so much as they will attack someone but they tend to hear things before you might and can warn you.
Make sure to douse your fires people. There is a wildfire that is a little too close for comfort. Just a friendly reminder to all those who camp.
An SOS messaging service that has insurance would be awesome. Why haven't I heard of this sooner. I am looking it up, but do you or anyone know which one is available?
Are you sure you don't have a camera man with you? All your shots are so good. Love the dogs.
Another awesome video from Nikki, Camper and Rodney you three always brighten up my day and week especially out traveling around the beautiful countryside and thanks for your tips on camping safety especially in the
very remote areas where you are, another great video and tour of these small western towns, thank you Camper, Rodney and Nikki.🇺🇲🚌🚐🇺🇲
Would say carry a strap but not sure that would work traveling between the states. Stay safe Nikki
It's her home.
Maybe on person won't work everywhere, but definitely can keep in cab.
Liked the format or mixing info in while you were doing stuff. And that cold plunge!😅
Nikki,
If you have key fob. You can press panic button too.. to scared off the bad guys.😂
