[0:01]good morning everyone it's Sunday 10: in
[0:04]the morning I've been up a couple hours
[0:06]at least the cats and I slept in the
[0:09]camper last night there was a big
[0:11]thunderstorm I'll I'll try to share some
[0:14]of that with you I don't think I took
[0:15]very good footage though Bailey you stay
[0:18]down there stay down there he's always
[0:21]wanting attention he's head buting me he
[0:24]might come up here I don't have a whole
[0:26]lot to say I just wanted to tell you how
[0:28]sore I feel
[0:31]I just feel sore everywhere my legs hurt
[0:33]my arms hurt my whole body hurts like
[0:37]I'm getting
[0:38]old hi Bailey say hi to
[0:43]everybody
[0:44]so one of the things I wanted to say
[0:47]this morning though is a couple of you
[0:50]have started to comment and you're
[0:52]saying really nice things and you're
[0:54]asking for my advice
[0:56]and I'm super honored by that I really
[1:00]am and I will try to always give you the
[1:02]best advice I
[1:04]can I've always been that kind of a
[1:07]person um as an introvert as a highly
[1:10]sensitive person I do process a lot of I
[1:13]don't really know where it comes from if
[1:15]you read up on like what infj means you
[1:18]maybe kind of understand me
[1:21]better um I'm not saying that I
[1:24]completely subscribe to that it's called
[1:26]the Myers Briggs personality test but
[1:29]it'll get you close
[2:27][Music]
[2:30]you know that's why I'm just so
[2:32]sore um and and a little tired too I
[2:35]just didn't sleep too well I don't know
[2:38]how other people do it I wish I did cuz
[2:40]I feel like I'm just winging everything
[2:43]guys you need to know that I I am
[2:45]winging everything I I decided to live
[2:48]in an RV before I even knew there was an
[2:50]RV Community I didn't know about the
[2:53]YouTube Community I didn't know about it
[2:56]I only ended up on here because I real
[2:59]ized how scared I was and I I was my
[3:03]biggest fear
[3:04]was driving the RV you know cuz I was
[3:08]just so worried that I would hurt
[3:10]someone that I'd sideswipe someone and
[3:13]so I got on YouTube and I searched for
[3:15]that and nothing came up nothing at all
[3:18]and that's why I started my channel
[3:19]because I thought well if nobody else is
[3:22]talking about this then
[3:24]either either nobody has this fear but
[3:29]that doesn't seem logic like likely does
[3:31]it so it's just that nobody's talked
[3:34]about it you know I think it's because a
[3:36]lot of the YouTube channels they start
[3:39]off sometimes years after they've been
[3:42]on the road right and they're just not
[3:44]thinking about it
[3:46]um I mean I could be wrong I always I
[3:49]always want to say that I could be wrong
[3:52]these are just my thoughts on it
[3:55]and my goal really was to try to help
[4:00]anyone who comes after me to know that
[4:03]you know those fears are normal and you
[4:06]can probably get over them cuz I say
[4:09]probably because I'm not over them yet
[4:11]right
[4:12]so I did a good job driving home I
[4:15]really did but I did have my dad behind
[4:17]me and that was kind of like a security
[4:20]blanket over the whole
[4:22]RV and I won't have that when I'm on the
[4:25]road I mean there's a lot of things I'm
[4:27]trying to do to mitigate that fear I I
[4:29]feel like if you have a fear you can
[4:32]either push through it but that's not
[4:34]the easy way that's the hard way that I
[4:37]mean I had a fear of choking to death
[4:39]for over a decade there was no pushing
[4:42]through that there was only one solution
[4:45]to that and that was to get medicated
[4:47]you know that's life and it worked and
[4:50]and I'm
[4:51]grateful um so some fears you just you
[4:55]really can't push through them but then
[4:57]there are other kinds of fears and these
[4:59]fears do have a lot to do with just the
[5:01]fear of the unknown just it's a
[5:03]different kind of fear and that kind of
[5:05]fear I feel like you can mitigate it's
[5:07]the kind of fear where you think
[5:10]about what can I do to lessen that fear
[5:14]cuz that's what I'm doing so okay I can
[5:16]lessen this fear if I have more cameras
[5:18]if I can see around me more if I can see
[5:21]the sides of my RV a lot easier then I
[5:25]know I'll never sideswipe someone so
[5:27]then there's no reason for that fear
[5:29]there's other ones there's
[5:31]like I'm still not sure how I'm going to
[5:33]really navigate gas stations I do know
[5:36]that it'll be easier for me cuz I have a
[5:37]diesel and I can go to trucker stops but
[5:40]that does require me to really be good
[5:42]at planning that sort of thing and I'm
[5:44]just not and I'm going to have to get
[5:47]better at it and I know I am getting to
[5:50]dump stations just just all of that
[5:52]right it
[5:53]just I still have fears around that
[5:56]getting propane
[5:58]just
[6:00]all of that is fear of the unknown and
[6:03]you can mitigate that you can research
[6:05]it you can watch YouTube and then when
[6:07]you get out there I think you probably
[6:09]just discover that it's not nearly as
[6:11]bad as you're making it out to be
[6:15]right cuz I guess there's a giant
[6:17]Community out there that you know so
[6:19]that means it's an industry and that
[6:20]means there's just all kinds of support
[6:22]services around that industry right
[6:24]you're going to find what you need
[6:28]everywhere that you need it I mean I
[6:31]kind of think that's how it works so
[6:33]really don't think I should be so
[6:35]concerned but I'm just sharing with you
[6:38]my thoughts
[6:39]on how I try to tackle my fears because
[6:42]I don't want them to control me I didn't
[6:45]get up on top of my roof and I still
[6:46]feel like that's the challenge I need to
[6:48]overcome I I need to be able to get up
[6:50]there it's my responsibility to go up
[6:54]there um well you know what I did
[6:57]mitigate that fear I bought a of um a
[7:01]ladder that collapses so I can take it
[7:05]with me that so I can get up there on
[7:07]the side I don't have to climb up on top
[7:09]of it I can just stay on the ladder but
[7:11]I can still access everything there I
[7:14]think that's just you know okay that's a
[7:16]great compromise for me that that that's
[7:19]a thing I can do it's still a little
[7:22]scary but it's a thing I can do so just
[7:26]think that way if you can it helps me
[7:28]I've got a few C that I'll share I don't
[7:31]know what I'm doing today I just I have
[7:33]no idea I feel I wish I could just have
[7:37]a rest day but I just don't feel like I
[7:40]have I don't have the time a few hours
[7:44]without food and you would think that
[7:45]these cats were famished the way they're
[7:49]acting this is a little bit after they
[7:51]got started oh my
[7:54]God these are some of the most spoiled
[7:56]cats I know have ever known and I have
[7:59]known own a lot of
[8:01]cats you guys will live I promise so I
[8:05]was just thinking how silly I felt for
[8:07]suspecting the birds for doing something
[8:10]to my my
[8:11]tanks and I realized something it was
[8:14]the birds it was the birds they cut
[8:18]those cables I know they did those birds
[8:20]hate me you know a bird once shat right
[8:24]on my head on the way to a job interview
[8:26]while I was walking down the
[8:28]sidewalk and you should see what they do
[8:30]to my
[8:32]deck I can hear them out there right now
[8:35]it's the
[8:41]birds well we're having our first
[8:44]thunderstorm in the
[8:46]camper woke me up it's pretty loud
[8:49]thunder both of the cats are little
[8:52]creeped out
[8:54]too the bed with
[8:58]me this here
[9:00]and see what we can hear or
[9:10]see okay guys
[9:14]green
[9:28]green just rain
[9:32]guys
[9:34]wor it's just
[9:58]rain feel like
[10:25]it's okay
[10:27]be it's okay
[10:31]really don't have to
[10:34]worry it's just
[10:37]rain it's just
[10:40]rain rain is not very
[10:43]important it's not anything to worry
[10:45]about
[10:47]guys it's just rain that's all it
[10:50]is just
[10:52]water Sur you hear it in the
[10:55]house don't you guys hear it in the
[10:58]house
[11:01]se you act this
[11:04]way never se you act like
[11:08]this it's just
[11:12]rain just some
[11:19]rain
[11:21]maybe look it's just
[11:25]rain just
[11:28]rain
[11:34]calm down calm
[11:57]down work
[12:00]I feel like if you don't panic then they
[12:02]won't panic I mean there's no reason to
[12:04]panic right but so I'm off to an early
[12:08]start today it's my coffee can ATT
[12:11]test oh this is my bed area the cat's
[12:14]nice slapped in here last night uh went
[12:17]pretty good there was a thunderstorm
[12:19]scared the cats pretty
[12:21]bad other than that was pretty fine
[12:23]except it's just still cold over here
[12:25]but let's just work this out right so
[12:29]this this
[12:30]is this is what the bottom of my bed
[12:33]looks like now under here I can't get a
[12:36]good view of this for you so I'm not
[12:38]even going to try but I know this void
[12:41]space is for now it makes sense that's
[12:42]where the slide comes in right that
[12:45]piece right there but if you look in
[12:48]there there's that object I don't know
[12:50]what it is that black object um so
[12:55]anything I assume anything going up to
[12:57]that height it's going to have
[13:00]clearance you know so you could have
[13:02]insulated that if you wanted to do a
[13:05]high quality job on these things right
[13:07]of course they don't
[13:10]um I suspect
[13:13]that if I were to open this out it would
[13:17]just be a giant void with some cables
[13:19]most of which could be insulated but I'm
[13:22]not comfortable pointing that
[13:24]out I wish I were you know if I had the
[13:26]skills I'd do it um the issue is I mean
[13:31]what if I pull this thing out and I just
[13:33]really can't get it back together again
[13:36]there's really no reason to pull this
[13:37]board up because we know it's under
[13:39]there it's just a small void where the
[13:41]slide comes
[13:42]in if we come over
[13:46]here you know all this is all of
[13:51]this is part of the
[13:54]slide um and I don't think these are
[13:57]perfect seals you know like there's I've
[14:01]got to come up with something here and
[14:04]up here I I realized this the other day
[14:07]that's the slide right
[14:09]so you can feel some air from there like
[14:14]it's not a lot but I bet you you know I
[14:16]bet you it
[14:18]contributes and then there's this area
[14:20]over
[14:22]here
[14:25]I'm there's like nothing under there I
[14:27]don't think I'm going to be able to
[14:28]really get under here not not with my
[14:31]skill set right so but I did find some
[14:33]places where it definitely needed
[14:35]insulating or where cold air is
[14:37]definitely coming in I don't know what
[14:39]to call this stuff I think it's called
[14:42]PVC pipe but it's not a pipe it goes
[14:45]over a pipe to insulate it right
[14:47]so I'm you know whatever that
[14:50]is put it up here cuz there is there's a
[14:53]gap you you know cold air comes right
[14:55]through
[14:56]it and then just along the side of the
[14:58]so
[15:00]and then under the bed all the way
[15:03]across I mean that's really all I can do
[15:07]nobody wants their home to look like
[15:08]that some gaffer tape right but no one
[15:12]wants to be cold either can't show this
[15:15]to you too well but you know so just do
[15:17]that I actually think that it will help
[15:19]I just don't know how hard this will be
[15:21]to put in there with my bed here with
[15:25]the mattress and everything else we'll
[15:26]see how that goes cuz I'm going to have
[15:28]to take it out before I pull in my
[15:29]slides that'll just become part of my
[15:31]process and put it back in when I get to
[15:34]my next camping spot not sure about over
[15:37]here I'm going to check it out I just
[15:39]need to say this if they ever come up
[15:42]with a comfortable mattress that you can
[15:45]put your sheets on without 10 years of
[15:47]yoga practice I'm buying
[15:51]it guys what's happening to me I'm
[15:54]becoming a real man today I had this
[15:57]thought I could just drill a whole ho
[15:59]down here and a hole down here put a
[16:02]rope around it in order to secure the
[16:04]spot for my cat I would have never had
[16:07]that thought before look at these cats
[16:10]already getting their fur
[16:13]everywhere it is a constant
[16:15]battle one thing I have not figured out
[16:18]is what I am going to do with my shoes I
[16:20]have two pairs of sandals wearing one of
[16:22]them and those shoes that's it and
[16:25]nowhere to put them I think they I think
[16:27]they live on the stairs guys I'm a
[16:30]genius look what I just gained access
[16:33]to I learned from my kitchen experience
[16:37]pull the drawers out and look under
[16:39]there I am insulating that and I'm doing
[16:43]it right
[16:45]now okay maybe not I don't know what
[16:48]that thing is I'm going have to think
[16:50]about it
[16:52]like you know I couldn't really get
[16:54]blueb board in there because it's got to
[16:55]fit the size of the hole and I could do
[16:58]it in
[16:59]pieces it's worth
[17:02]considering h i mean this is just like
[17:06]this could be a project for later I
[17:08]guess I have so much to do maybe this is
[17:11]a project for later but I'm thinking
[17:14]maybe I don't know put some reflecti
[17:18]around that thing just to protect it and
[17:19]then pink insulation everywhere and
[17:21]rboard on the
[17:23]sides tell me what you think so I just
[17:26]finished editing my video I'm going to
[17:28]add this this to the end it's 18 minutes
