[0:00]good morning so it's moving day it's 9

[0:03]o' right now I have get to stay here

[0:05]till 3: and then I move to my next site

[0:08]Bailey's rubbing up against me messing

[0:10]up my phone here hi Bailey hi hi

[0:17]hi so oh he's going to sit on my lap I

[0:21]guess you all right dude he I don't know

[0:24]what's going on with him I just went

[0:25]down to the showers got some breakfast

[0:28]and and he was only alone an

[0:30]hour so anyway I was anxious about this

[0:35]for the past couple days I think it's

[0:37]because of well it's a couple reasons

[0:39]one is because of Bailey light thing is

[0:41]so weird like what is up with that

[0:44]anyways you know it's the first time

[0:45]with Bailey and we're going to have to

[0:46]go upto the tanks down there we're going

[0:48]have to drive a little bit out of our

[0:50]way to get

[0:51]fuel cuz I'm not comfortable going to

[0:53]just any gas station it's got to be one

[0:55]of the trucker stops so I'm going to do

[0:57]that and then we head to my next site I

[1:00]check in time there is five that's the

[1:02]latest I've seen so

[1:04]far but I was feeling anxious about it

[1:06]I'm feeling a little bit better I guess

[1:08]um I think it's because I don't prepare

[1:11]well enough

[1:12]like I didn't know where I was getting

[1:14]gas until today you know I used RV trip

[1:17]wizard to find out if there was a Truck

[1:18]Stop nearby where I could get gas and

[1:21]it's a little out of the way but you

[1:22]know not bad

[1:23]and that seem to help I guess I don't

[1:26]know I think it's going to get easier

[1:28]with time I don't move around enough to

[1:30]where it just feels comfortable yet I

[1:32]guess and I am play staying at this next

[1:34]site for a while this cat is just

[1:37]crazy um but it's also Bailey it's going

[1:40]to be a challenge with him I'm going to

[1:42]keep him in his carrier I don't know how

[1:44]safe things are in here like like those

[1:46]shelves there um so this is a test we're

[1:48]going to see how that goes I have to

[1:50]take my mattress off the bed now so

[1:53]it'll be partly laying on on that I

[1:55]think or under it hopefully but it's

[1:58]probably going to be laying up against

[1:59]it a little

[2:00]bit um I did do all kinds of organizing

[2:03]in here there's a little bit more to do

[2:06]but not a lot so Bailey you're making

[2:09]this difficult dude come

[2:11]on

[2:13]um I mean I can show you I guess it's to

[2:17]look bad though baile you're killing me

[2:20]I mean so this stuff is the only stuff

[2:22]that's not really organized that one bag

[2:23]is full of cables and then those are the

[2:26]cables I want to keep inside the

[2:28]camper uh I think random stuff I just

[2:30]couldn't find a place for yet that's

[2:32]just my socks and underwear I changed my

[2:34]rug that stuff needs to go outside

[2:37]mostly or somewhere anyway shower

[2:42]stuff um you know it's pretty organized

[2:44]honestly really is there's nothing

[2:48]behind the beds or around the beds or

[2:50]anything like that um that's where I've

[2:51]been putting Bailey's food now actually

[2:54]and this water and stuff so it's out of

[2:56]the way and it's kind of like this

[2:57]little space and

[3:00]so it shouldn't be hard to pack up it is

[3:01]raining

[3:02]today pretty bad has been since last

[3:06]yesterday and it's supposed to all week

[3:08]so you know there's really no point

[3:10]trying to just put this off we just got

[3:13]to go and you know deal with the weather

[3:16]second time just like last I'm going to

[3:18]get muddy you know getting that tent

[3:20]taken down and breaking camp but just

[3:24]like last time hopefully it doesn't

[3:26]become a trend right so I'm feeling

[3:28]pretty good

[3:31]yeah I still haven't gotten propane you

[3:33]know really need to do that it's been a

[3:36]month and a half like I got to do that

[3:39]and I didn't do everything I wanted to

[3:41]here you know I didn't go down to the

[3:44]Marino um you know I hiked several

[3:47]Trails

[3:48]here I think I hiked the trails I'd want

[3:50]to they they rent horses here to ride

[3:53]and I didn't want to be on those Trails

[3:57]so I went down to the lodge I ate at the

[3:59]restaurant there you know I did quite a

[4:01]lot

[4:02]here

[4:04]um my next s I'm going to be there for 1

[4:06]to 3 months I don't know yet I've booked

[4:08]it for a little over a month like a

[4:10]month and a week and then I can extend

[4:13]it but I just want to see the place see

[4:15]if I actually like it there and figure

[4:18]out if there's a site there that I can

[4:20]stay for two more months and then I do

[4:23]want to start heading west I feel like I

[4:25]have to I'm never going to know for sure

[4:28]if this lifestyle is for me unless I get

[4:30]on the road and just get better at this

[4:33]you know and the more practice I have

[4:35]the more I'm forced to keep

[4:37]moving the more I'll know um but my

[4:41]initial impressions

[4:43]are I'm having second thoughts I

[4:48]I I can't say I love this lifestyle I

[4:50]mean there's there are things I love

[4:53]about it and but there's things that I

[4:55]don't and I need to find out if the

[4:56]things that I don't are things that I

[4:58]can there trade-offs there's trade-offs

[5:00]in everything you got to compare it to

[5:02]living in a house my life there and all

[5:04]of that um but I don't like breaking

[5:06]Camp I don't you know that's not fun to

[5:09]do and then um you know managing your

[5:12]tanks I I I manage my tanks good this

[5:16]time two weeks here and I didn't

[5:18]overflow anything

[5:20]so um I haven't had to go and empty

[5:23]those I'm going to do that when we leave

[5:25]and then I mean what else so it's a

[5:28]small space but I am getting to the

[5:30]point where it feels a little more

[5:32]organized I would like to be able to

[5:33]cook more in here that requires propane

[5:36]though um I do like using the convection

[5:39]oven but I don't have all the proper

[5:43]like I need to get a rack it's been hard

[5:45]to find one in that size I did find one

[5:46]on Amazon I just got to get it from my

[5:48]parents house to where it was sent to um

[5:51]and I yeah that's another thing like I

[5:52]couldn't get packages anywhere nearby

[5:54]like Amazon had nowhere nearby for me to

[5:56]get them I'm sure there would have been

[5:58]somewhere closer than my parents 2 and 1

[6:00]half hours

[6:01]away um but they're going to be an hour

[6:03]and a half way now and just going to

[6:06]stay there work on my Minecraft content

[6:09]I'm actually having a lot of fun with

[6:11]that

[6:14]and I just don't know yet

[6:18]it's I I don't know if it's just me or

[6:20]if everybody goes through this stage I

[6:22]I'm still trying to think up like what

[6:24]is this stage because there's going to

[6:26]be that I know on this channel three

[6:29]different stages so far the one was the

[6:31]first one was the transition and then

[6:32]there's this one and then there's the

[6:34]pilgrimage to Nevada cuz I feel like

[6:36]that is a big pivotal thing for me to do

[6:39]and I'm actually going to at some point

[6:41]you know when I just feel settled enough

[6:43]to sit down and spend a very long time

[6:45]doing it update all my thumbnails and

[6:47]put that kind of like you know label

[6:50]them that way but I don't know what to

[6:51]label this part it's

[6:53]like limbo or something I

[6:57]just I'm trying to figure it out don't

[7:00]like I feel like you have to give

[7:02]yourself lots of patience and time

[7:06]and you know there's going to be

[7:07]challenges and you just have to face

[7:10]them when they come but you should be a

[7:12]little more prepared than me like I feel

[7:14]like I'm not preparing like I should

[7:17]have I knew that it was going to rain

[7:19]today well it rained yesterday too but I

[7:20]knew that I should have broke Camp

[7:22]yesterday cuz that I learned that from

[7:23]my last site right and I should have had

[7:26]my route planned you know where am I

[7:27]getting gas and all of that before this

[7:30]morning you know and

[7:32]just um it's just that's my personality

[7:36]type I'm very kind of a spontaneous

[7:39]person I

[7:40]don't this just how I work and I guess I

[7:43]this is it's another area of my life

[7:45]where I guess I need to adjust my

[7:48]my just change I guess

[7:52]um been wondering if the initial spark

[7:58]that led to all these changes and other

[8:00]changes I hope that's alive in me still

[8:02]because I just don't feel

[8:05]like I have made all the changes I want

[8:08]to in my life and I don't want that to

[8:11]stall or stagnate or anything like

[8:14]that

[8:15]um I'm trying not to get into a negative

[8:18]frame of mind

[8:20]where that would happen you know I think

[8:22]that's probably how that happens where

[8:24]you're just like oh I hate this

[8:25]lifestyle and I just you know and then

[8:28]you're not even trying anymore you're

[8:30]just miserable so I don't think that's

[8:33]the right approach and I'm just going to

[8:36]keep reminding myself for that if I have

[8:38]to but mostly things are

[8:41]fine and you know Bailey's happy that

[8:44]cat's a happy cat

[8:46]so we'll see how things go I'll talk to

[8:50]you guys later this forur already what

[8:52]am I going to do about that I forgot to

[8:55]mention so I got bit by a spider while

[8:58]sleeping and I was like whatever right a

[9:01]couple days later it actually looks

[9:03]worse so I put Neosporin on it and some

[9:06]Band-Aids but yeah like that's another

[9:09]thing you deal with there are you know

[9:11]kind like vacuum up something
