[0:00]guys this is so hard this is my third

[0:02]take and I didn't want to do that but

[0:04]this is really

[0:06]hard I keep getting way off on a tangent

[0:09]about my sleeping patterns which you

[0:12]guys don't care about so it's 9:00 in

[0:15]the morning good morning happy

[0:18]Tuesday the cats are up and about and

[0:21]playing already so you might hear them

[0:23]in the

[0:25]backgrounds I'm still waking up a little

[0:28]bit

[0:31]I might not do this every day or I might

[0:33]it's just good practice for

[0:37]me so I need to clean myself up today I

[0:40]need to shave and maybe even shave my

[0:43]hair a little bit I did that the other

[0:44]day I don't know if any of you noticed

[0:45]like I shave the sides and

[0:49]what I don't think I did a very good job

[0:52]like at all like if you could see the

[0:54]back it's probably really uneven and

[0:55]stuff that's something you might want to

[0:57]know about me is I don't go to a

[0:59]hairstyle I'm just going you'll see me

[1:01]shave my hair every once in a while

[1:04]just you know down to half an inch and

[1:07]just easy

[1:10]maintenance um so

[1:13]I yeah I just feel like this could be

[1:16]good practice like I I'll get better at

[1:18]it if I just keep doing it so that's

[1:20]what I'm trying to

[1:22]do I woke up a little bit afraid today

[1:27]so I really wanted to share that

[1:31]it's such a big change what I'm

[1:34]doing that I mean I've been super

[1:37]excited I think you guys know that and I

[1:40]am right now but I woke up feeling some

[1:43]anxiety today just fear not really

[1:46]anxiet to

[1:50]fear but I think that's passing

[1:53]now it's just scary it is such a big

[1:56]change to be

[1:57]doing oh and I actually was

[2:01]thinking you might not want to take my

[2:04]advice and just go out west where it

[2:06]might be easier to learn this stuff I

[2:09]think because I'm

[2:13]so because I'm anxious about it before

[2:15]I've even started like before I'm out

[2:18]there I think you should probably go

[2:20]somewhere you really love like just go

[2:23]to the place that you love the most and

[2:26]spend time there because you want it to

[2:29]be a good experience I saw a a post last

[2:32]night from someone

[2:34]who she wants to give up after 3 weeks

[2:39]and I don't know any of her

[2:41]circumstances I don't know if they're

[2:43]related

[2:45]but I think that you should definitely

[2:48]go somewhere you love just so that you

[2:50]have a good start and a good memory

[2:52]getting

[2:56]started so that's what I'm going to do

[2:58]I'm going to think about it cuz there's

[2:59]lots of places I love it doesn't you

[3:01]know like I could go to the Natural

[3:03]Bridge I know they have campgrounds I

[3:05]don't know about if they what their RV

[3:07]situations like at

[3:09]all I don't even know if I've ever seen

[3:11]one there but they do have a couple

[3:14]campgrounds I think there are some like

[3:16]they might just

[3:17]be not part of the state park system

[3:20]might be like private owners or

[3:22]something like

[3:23]that so I'm going to look into

[3:28]that um I got a GoPro

[3:31]today can't wait to open that

[3:34]up um might seem a little bit silly to

[3:37]have multiple cameras but I want to put

[3:39]this on my the vehicle I'm driving

[3:42]whichever one I'm driving just put it up

[3:45]on the windshield so it's real easy to

[3:47]record that

[3:48]way and maybe I'll find other uses for

[3:51]it

[3:52]too um I spent a lot of money on Amazon

[3:55]last night a lot and it's all stuff I

[3:58]knew I would need

[4:01]well it's all stuff that I wanted to

[4:04]have like most of it stuff I knew I

[4:07]would need so I was expecting like I

[4:09]bought a blue WTI finally I I I settled

[4:11]on a solar power system it'll be here in

[4:14]a couple days

[4:16]hopefully yeah so that I can you know

[4:19]just so that I can put that that stuff

[4:21]in my camper when it gets when I get it

[4:23]Friday and then

[4:25]just get a better feel for my energy

[4:29]requirement

[4:30]you know but then there were some things

[4:32]that definitely weren't like

[4:34]requirements like I got a drone so I got

[4:38]my brother a

[4:39]drone um for Christmas and he seemed to

[4:43]really like it so I got the same one and

[4:45]it's really nice never used one before

[4:50]but I thought you know I really want

[4:51]that because of what I'm doing I'm going

[4:54]to be out there in the Parks and stuff

[4:56]and I just would love to be able to take

[4:59]really cool cool shots you know pictures

[5:01]and video of that and so I can do that

[5:03]with a drone and I also had another idea

[5:05]for it you can tell me if this is

[5:08]practical or not I don't

[5:10]know um what if I could dock that thing

[5:13]on the top of my camper you know just

[5:16]park it

[5:17]there and I could be in my camper and

[5:21]maybe there's a situation going on

[5:23]outside and I want to check out what's

[5:25]going on and I just you know call up my

[5:27]drone and go and check it out like and

[5:30]then just park it back on our I think

[5:31]that would be awesome like that would be

[5:33]so cool I think I saw that in a TV show

[5:36]or yeah like a TV show or something

[5:39]once um not with an RV but you know just

[5:43]similar circumstances or something so

[5:47]might try to do that I do have like I

[5:51]said in another video I've got some

[5:53]external cameras coming I got four I

[5:56]might send two of them back I just

[5:58]really wanted to

[6:00]um get a sense for the angles like I'm

[6:04]going to probably like the way I'm

[6:05]thinking about it is I'll put two on

[6:07]each side facing different directions

[6:09]it's kind of how I do it at my house

[6:10]like you know each window it's facing a

[6:12]different

[6:13]way

[6:15]um I don't know maybe if you put them in

[6:17]the center you wouldn't need to do that

[6:19]like I'll experiment with it for sure

[6:21]and

[6:22]then cuz you know they're not cheap and

[6:25]I want to save as much money as I

[6:27]can so there you know

[6:32]um I'm excited to see what that's like

[6:34]cuz I think it'll be cool and then

[6:36]another thing I got

[6:38]was um another dash cam so I wanted to

[6:42]and there's a couple reasons for this um

[6:45]I like having the protection that it

[6:47]provides like I don't know if protection

[6:50]is the right word but it's just it's

[6:53]evidence if something happens on the

[6:55]road you've got it on camera so whatever

[6:58]anyone wants to say about about a

[6:59]situation you've got it on camera if you

[7:02]weren't at fault that camera's going to

[7:04]help you out a lot so and if finding an

[7:07]RV and I was thinking about it if I'm

[7:10]driving down the

[7:12]road and let's say something happens and

[7:16]suddenly my hitch comes undone and my

[7:18]Jeep stops itself on the

[7:21]highway and then somebody gets into an

[7:24]accident with my Jeep you know they they

[7:26]run into

[7:27]it um

[7:31]I mean I guess that puts them at fault

[7:32]automatically because they're the ones

[7:34]behind and it's obvious that they're

[7:36]tailgating if that happens but you know

[7:39]I just think it's nice to have that on

[7:41]camera you know on video so there's just

[7:45]no dispute yeah my Jeep came undone I'm

[7:48]not you know let's find out why that

[7:50]happened but they were following way too

[7:53]close and you know so I think they'd be

[7:56]responsible for that not sure but

[7:59]anyways I just like the idea of having

[8:01]cameras anyways

[8:04]so the dash cam I got has there's two

[8:08]well it's got four cameras in it but two

[8:11]devices one goes in the

[8:13]windshield so it points out towards the

[8:16]road but then there's one that's

[8:17]pointing towards you and then there's

[8:20]one that goes in the back and it's the

[8:22]same situation I'm we just going to put

[8:23]it in the back

[8:25]window I looked at one of my videos just

[8:28]you know to refresh

[8:30]my memory of how it looks and you know

[8:33]and that Windows just it looks perfect

[8:36]to me I think it'd be perfect in that

[8:37]window and that and it'll just point out

[8:39]towards the back of the RV and it'll be

[8:42]looking over the Jeep

[8:43]or you know if you know even when the

[8:46]Jeep's not I mean it just it's pointing

[8:49]backwards and then it also points

[8:50]forward that one's you know kind of

[8:52]pointless in my situation but you know

[8:55]they've been making them basically for

[8:57]like uber driers stuff like that so

[9:01]um you know so they can protect

[9:04]themselves I think it's pretty

[9:06]cool

[9:08]so see was there anything else

[9:12]um just feel like I spent a lot of money

[9:14]in Amazon

[9:18]yesterday um I mean there are other

[9:21]things I got like I got you know finally

[9:23]got my chocks and and the balancing

[9:26]things like just the stuff I think I

[9:29]really need oh yeah and I got a you know

[9:32]I got a surge protector and a long

[9:35]extension

[9:36]cable and a converter from 30 amps cuz

[9:40]my RV is 30 amps to I think it's called

[9:43]110 volts which is your house like so I

[9:47]can plug it into the

[9:49]house

[9:51]um I don't know how much I'll do that

[9:54]because the idea of you know being in

[9:59]my driveway

[10:01]is get used to it but you know I'm not

[10:05]going to be hooked up to somebody's

[10:06]house when I'm out there

[10:09]so um that might not

[10:13]be you know I'm not duplicating The

[10:16]Experience I'm going to have out there

[10:17]if I do that so but you know you want to

[10:22]you know I'm probably going to do it at

[10:24]first maybe I'll the first week I'll do

[10:25]that and then and you want to have that

[10:28]stuff anyway place in case you end up at

[10:30]a campground obious not the 110 volt

[10:33]thing but you want a surge

[10:35]protector maybe you need an extension

[10:37]cord to get to sign don't know so just

[10:40]basic things like that and you know the

[10:43]chalks and the

[10:44]bouncers and and I'll show you the stuff

[10:46]but I got I thought this was pretty

[10:49]cool

[10:51]um there's it's like a little Bluetooth

[10:54]device you put this thing right in the

[10:55]center of your camper while you're

[10:57]driving you know

[10:59]when you're about to park right so you

[11:01]just put it in the

[11:02]middle and then it's got the smaller

[11:05]unit that's just kind of next to you and

[11:07]it shows you how balanced you are in

[11:09]four different angles which like that's

[11:12]cool like might make things a little

[11:15]easier it wasn't very expensive I don't

[11:18]I don't it wasn't very expensive I

[11:19]probably wouldn't have got it

[11:24]um so yeah I um there was one other

[11:28]thing

[11:30]I was thinking about it in my head I I

[11:31]was talking and now I've forgotten what

[11:33]it

[11:37]was so yeah

[11:42]um let me see

[11:46]here it's just

[11:49]um I mean it'll come to me I'm sorry it

[11:53]was just one other thing and actually

[11:54]was kind of a big deal just drawing a

[11:57]blank right now you know let me just PA

[11:58]pauses and think about it of course tire

[12:02]monitoring pressure system I bought

[12:05]one

[12:06]so that was kind of hard actually to

[12:09]figure out um I got a tire minder I

[12:12]think it's called like Tire minder I 10

[12:15]or something like that it comes with

[12:18]10 I don't know I I'm going to um what

[12:22]are those called I mean you connect them

[12:24]to your tires I forget what they're

[12:26]called there's 10 of them I only need s

[12:30]wait no actually guys I got the one

[12:31]that's only gives you six so there's

[12:34]different packages I got the one that

[12:35]gives you six

[12:37]so it'll but you can connect more to it

[12:40]like this unit you can connect up to 20

[12:42]tires I mean wow what is that like a a

[12:45]semi I mean I don't know

[12:47]what um so I'll connect the six to my RV

[12:51]and

[12:52]then

[12:54]so they have two different

[12:57]kinds my I can't even you know what what

[13:00]are they called like anyways like

[13:02]there's two different kinds one is brass

[13:05]and one is aluminum I think and so you

[13:08]have to get the right kind to put into

[13:11]your

[13:12]vehicle that's weird oh I'm losing power

[13:15]here guys like a lot of power at

[13:20]5% oh that's

[13:22]funny okay so this is going to probably

[13:26]yeah mess up the balance I'm almost done

[13:28]here

[13:31]so um almost turn that

[13:35]sideways so you have to figure out

[13:38]there's brass and then um aluminum and

[13:41]it just depends on

[13:44]your tire stem I think it's called I got

[13:49]to figure out where my jeep has if you

[13:50]put the wrong one on there it's two

[13:52]different metals are interacting with

[13:55]each other a lot and that's bad I don't

[13:57]know how but it's is just

[13:59]bad um and I think the reason they do

[14:03]that is cuz that's how they're

[14:05]monitoring temperature and I thought

[14:07]that was important to get one that

[14:08]monitors

[14:10]temperature

[14:12]so uh I'll find out what my jeep has and

[14:16]then I'll buy the other four that I need

[14:18]for it so that makes a total of 10 and

[14:20]it looks like a really cool unit it'll

[14:22]cycle between the two it'll show

[14:24]you it'll show you your RV and then

[14:27]it'll show you your Jeep and just keep

[14:29]going back and

[14:30]forth so I'm not going to be able to put

[14:35]that on when I go and get my my RV so

[14:39]when I go to pick it up I was thinking I

[14:42]would really like to but the problem is

[14:45]there's part of it that goes into a

[14:46]battery and it needs to be at the back

[14:49]of the RV so I'm just learning about

[14:52]this stuff and I assume there's

[14:54]batteries back there somewhere

[14:57]like you know know but maybe I have to

[15:00]drill a hole to get to them I just don't

[15:02]know and so probably won't be able to

[15:04]have that little bit of measure of

[15:06]safety on my first drive

[15:09]home so that's basically it you know I

[15:13]am I'm just going to get myself cleaned

[15:16]up today and then

[15:20]um so much to do I've been taking notes

[15:24]like lots and lots of notes there's so

[15:27]much I have to do you um and this is and

[15:31]I was starting to feel real overwhelmed

[15:33]last night you guys should know that

[15:35]too it is

[15:38]so much effort

[15:41]and I mean there's just so much to do to

[15:44]get out of your house like it's man like

[15:48]I've been moving around my whole life

[15:50]like as a kid as you know if you watch

[15:53]that video but even as an adult I have

[15:55]lived so many places I've been homeless

[15:58]I you know you know there's a lot I

[15:59]haven't told you guys about me yet I've

[16:01]been homeless many

[16:02]times

[16:06]um and like it was always easy for me to

[16:09]just kind of pack up and go cuz I never

[16:11]really accured stuff but now I have and

[16:15]it's oh man it is just so much work

[16:18]there's so much you got to do for your

[16:19]pets and your vehicles and you know and

[16:24]just your house

[16:26]and so yeah I'm just looking at my list

[16:28]here and it's

[16:31]just I'm feeling overwhelmed I'm feeling

[16:33]anxious I'm feeling excited just a whole

[16:35]mix of emotions you know and I think

[16:38]you're going to go through all of that

[16:39]when you embark on this

[16:42]journey um I'm just going to say one

[16:45]last thing so there's a channel I found

[16:47]last night and this guy is super cool

[16:50]and I just want to recommend him his

[16:52]name is Donnie his channel is

[16:55]Donnie

[16:57]um oh

[16:59]now I can't like um disperse Donnie

[17:03]disperse like you can go to Donny

[17:04]disperse decom he's got a little website

[17:06]there with great information on where to

[17:10]get maps for the different areas you

[17:12]might want to stay like he's all about

[17:14]dispersed camping like if you go to his

[17:16]channel and then to his oldest videos he

[17:20]did a whole bunch of camping some years

[17:22]ago I think I don't know if he's still

[17:23]doing it like he's he doesn't post

[17:25]regularly he posts like all videos are

[17:29]good and real high quality but he

[17:31]doesn't post often so you know um his

[17:35]older videos he did a whole lot of

[17:39]camping in a Subaru with his dog and I

[17:42]just found him really inspiring like I

[17:45]assume he's a lot younger than me me now

[17:47]like and he it just he is living the

[17:50]life that I wanted to live 20 years ago

[17:53]and it just was really nice to watch I

[17:57]think you really get a kick out of that

[18:00]if if this you know if you're watching

[18:01]me knowing what I'm going to do you know

[18:04]you must have an interest in that kind

[18:06]of lifestyle and he's someone you

[18:09]definitely would want to check

[18:10]out so that's it for now guys happy

[18:14]Tuesday I hope you guys have a good day

Summary

rswfire records a morning transmission expressing anxiety about the major life change of transitioning to RV living. He discusses waking up afraid but notes the feeling is passing. He shares advice about choosing beloved locations for initial RV experiences after seeing someone wanting to quit after three weeks.

**Equipment purchases:** He spent significant money on Amazon the previous night, including a solar power system, GoPro, drone (same model as his brother's Christmas gift), external security cameras, and dash cam system with four cameras. He also bought RV essentials like wheel chocks, leveling equipment, surge protector, extension cables, and a 30-amp to 110-volt converter.

**Technical details:** He purchased a Bluetooth leveling device and tire pressure monitoring system (Tire Minder) that can handle up to 20 tires but got the 6-tire package. The system requires different brass or aluminum components depending on tire stem type to avoid metal interaction issues.

**Practical concerns:** He notes the tire monitoring system won't be installed for his Friday RV pickup due to battery access uncertainty. He expresses feeling overwhelmed by the extensive preparation required, contrasting this with his previous easy relocations when he owned fewer possessions. He mentions his history of frequent moves and periods of homelessness.

**Recommendation:** He endorses Donnie Disperse's YouTube channel and website for dispersed camping information, particularly praising older videos of camping in a Subaru with a dog.
