I cant believe it.
I thought you were cool and brave hiking and camping on your own, then i find out you are a proper nomad.
You are gonna smash youtube.
Respect.

As a 61 year old woman and a citizen of the U.S., I have to say that I so appreciate your adventures because it's such a nice manner to forget the craziness, hatred, fear, and uncertainty in our country. I am not a camper or roamer, but your channel makes me wish that I was young, brave, and adventurous enough to do so. Thank you again for sharing, and also please stay safe, positive, and happy!

There aren’t enough superlatives to express how impressed I am. You really are an inspiration to your generation and extremely gutsy.

I was just sat in my van .on a carpark having my lunch. Thinking about my next camping trip . When this exact same car pulled up next to me. I wasn't sure, but I went and said hi,and it was Katie.

The algorithm randomly threw your bivvy bag video at me yesterday whilst in bed watching YT. I have to say I think most of us here have mad respect for you for living this way! I've just bought my first home this year(which needs fixing up), and I've been stressing quite a bit trying to get everything sorted, but seeing you living in a car with such positive energy and enjoying the simple things in life is making me realise how much most of us take everything for granted. I don't think I could live like you do, but it's a pleasure to see you enjoying it. Keep up the vids!

Hey, not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but on my rooftop tent I use locking nuts to stop someone taking it off, ive heard and seen horror stories of them going missing, the locking nuts are not that expensive at all but worth it.

Katie, you are a true inspiration to ladies of all ages, ethnicity and social backgrounds. Truly love your videos, and hope you stay safe no matter where you roam.

I'm quite young (your age similarly) but hearing you go travelling around at Europe at 17 and visiting many different countries is so inspirational and so cool to me. Just been watching a few of your videos, really cool. Keep it up Katie!

If you flip the awning up onto the roof and then extend the side poles out to roughly where the awning needs to be, then unroll the awning out onto the top of the side poles, the structure will have enough strength to get the legs to fold down and adjust to the right height, before adjusting everything and doing up the velcro.

You are an inspiration to us all, with real drive and passion for everything outdoor, a credit to your age group. Keep up the great content ❤

This setup is such a dream! 😍 The roof tent looks unbelievably cosy - those fairy lights and blankets give it the perfect cabin-in-the-woods vibe ✨⛺️ Love how you’ve organized everything so practically but still kept it super homey. And that peaceful morning by the lake with some fishing? Absolute goals 🎣🌅 Thanks for sharing your space and lifestyle - super inspiring for anyone curious about full-time car camping or looking to simplify life ❤

I bought a tent box 7 years ago to use when I went freediving with my club( the b&bs were too expensive for me). I drove through Spain and Morocco with my wife in it, and wow it was amazing. My beloved passed away nearly three years ago but I used the tentbox to visit family and friends all over Ireland even camping in Derry where in my youth I was a soldier during the troubles, and I visited my wife’s best friend in Belgium taking in WW1 battlefields at the same time. It’s sitting unused in my garden at the moment cos I’ve a soft top car at the moment. Love your Vidio brought back happy memories

Keep warm as it’ getting close to winter now 😊

@MeetMrMayhem88 11 months ago

Would you ever consider doing a Q+A video? I'm curious how you can afford to do this; keep yourself fed and things like that. Not that it's any of my business, if it's something you're not into talking about online ☺️
