[0:00]hello so I had a different video planned

[0:03]for today I've been working on getting

[0:05]organized in here and I'm like 98 99%

[0:08]there I've been um we had really hot

[0:12]weather yesterday it was so hot it got

[0:14]85 degrees in here so today I went this

[0:16]morning I went to Lowe's and got some

[0:17]things to put reflecti on the windows

[0:19]and I was just going to show you

[0:20]everything I've been doing with that and

[0:23]then I'm playing another video where I'm

[0:25]just going to take you on a tour of my

[0:26]camper now that I'm organized but the

[0:29]weather's not cooperating ing instead of

[0:30]being super hot today it is just

[0:32]thundering and there's tornado warnings

[0:34]and there's no power and it's been like

[0:36]this for hours and

[0:37]hours so I just thought I would share

[0:40]with

[0:41]you kind of what that feels like I guess

[0:44]it's interesting so one of the updates I

[0:46]want to give is that I'm really going to

[0:49]get into cooking very soon I've been

[0:51]chatting with chat GPT

[0:54]for well for days on this I ordered a

[0:57]bunch of stuff from Amazon I'll never

[0:59]have to use my Pro tank so really happy

[1:01]about that I'll still fill it you know I

[1:03]think that's important to fill it but I

[1:06]I don't even want to cook that way I

[1:08]just just that's not how I want to do it

[1:10]so um I'm getting some things like I'm

[1:13]getting a portable charcoal grill um and

[1:16]then some electrical devices that like

[1:19]do induction heating and then an

[1:21]electric

[1:22]skillet some other things that chat GPT

[1:26]recommended and I just made this chat

[1:28]with it that said look teach me to cook

[1:31]and if there's something I want to make

[1:32]it will teach me step by step what tools

[1:34]to use just down to the little

[1:37]nitty-gritty details that you don't even

[1:39]get in like a cooking book because I am

[1:41]a true novice I thought this was

[1:44]important because I need to be

[1:46]self-reliant right and when I start H

[1:50]traveling

[1:51]west I'm going to be boondocking a lot

[1:54]so I won't have electricity but it will

[1:55]work with my solar power uh I you know I

[1:58]made sure of that I don't know how well

[1:59]we're going to test that while we're

[2:01]here we're going to do a lot while we're

[2:02]here it's all about getting prepared for

[2:04]this this

[2:05]pilgrimage and I'm going to make a lot

[2:07]of videos just showing me cooking stuff

[2:10]because it might be entertaining but I

[2:13]also think it'll be awesome because I'm

[2:14]going to make some really good

[2:15]nutritious food gu I picked a good day

[2:18]for this we lost power here there's a

[2:20]bad storm starting my tent was

[2:23]like seriously big wind gust so I had to

[2:27]secure that better um you know just

[2:31]secured my stuff outside and I'm getting

[2:32]back to this but there's no power and

[2:36]tornadoes in the late morning and early

[2:38]afternoon some thunderstorms May produce

[2:41]damaging winds large hail tornadoes and

[2:44]heavy rainfall late in the afternoon

[2:47]tonight partly cloudy with chance of

[2:49]thunderstorms until midnight then

[2:51]showers with thunderstorms likely after

[2:54]midnight some thunderstorms May produce

[2:57]heavy

[2:58]rainfall for your protection move to an

[3:00]interior room on the lowest floor of a

[3:03]building torrential rainfall is

[3:05]occurring with this storm and may lead

[3:07]to flash flooding do not drive your

[3:10]vehicle through flooded

[3:12]roadways a tornado watch remains in

[3:14]effect until 400 p.m. eastern Daylight

[3:16]time for Central Kentucky so they're

[3:19]warning about flash flooding and I'm

[3:20]actually on a lake I haven't seen the

[3:22]lake but I know it's here

[3:24]somewhere learning some things I guess I

[3:28]could turn some lights on you know I I I

[3:30]have a not only do I have my solar but I

[3:34]have the thing that I plug my desktop

[3:37]and basically all of my stuff into and

[3:40]it has a power supply of its

[3:42]own I use that to get on the

[3:45]internet so I could let my mom know

[3:47]what's going

[3:48]on and you know then I turn it off to

[3:52]conserve it so I'm just kind of thinking

[3:55]through what I should be doing to

[3:57]prepare um for for situ uations like

[4:01]this I'm not sure where the safest place

[4:03]would be in here I was thinking the cab

[4:06]area but you know a lot of Windows up

[4:08]there so probably not probably next to

[4:10]my bed just like in the center of the

[4:12]camp room maybe

[4:15]so if something were to happen I'd be

[4:17]grabbing this cat and I guess you know

[4:21]you got to think about this in

[4:23]advance I got my little no radio I I do

[4:27]suggest you guys get one of those if you

[4:28]do this LIF out it's awesome you know

[4:31]it's got an antenna it can it

[4:33]can um charge itself through solar you

[4:37]know it basically will work anywhere and

[4:38]and it just has a weather band so that

[4:41]you can always find out what's going on

[4:42]with

[4:44]that I think Bailey's okay you

[4:47]definitely want to be calm cuz you know

[4:50]they sense that sort of

[4:52]thing

[4:53]um but you know have your stuff powered

[4:56]up you know charged up and

[5:01]I don't have any food that that I could

[5:03]eat that you know without cooking it so

[5:06]I guess that's another thing you want to

[5:07]think

[5:08]about cuz I haven't even eaten

[5:11]today no power so you know probably just

[5:15]going to read my Kindle I just started

[5:17]reading Game of Thrones

[5:20]again really not much else to

[5:23]do I could have just removed that reflec

[5:25]to so much more light that way Ba's just

[5:28]hanging out with me

[5:30]we're fine I'm sure we'll be fine they

[5:33]should tell you what they're saying so

[5:35]wind GS up to 90 M hour the torrential

[5:39]rain that's the expression they

[5:41]use um thunderstorms and they've been

[5:44]spotted in a couple areas they're saying

[5:46]tornado warning I think I'm not sure

[5:49]about this area a lot of the counties

[5:51]it's actually where I used to live so my

[5:54]parents are in Michigan right now I'm

[5:55]going to check on their place and their

[5:57]cat tomorrow they took Oliver with them

[5:59]to

[6:01]Michigan um but their other cat Luca is

[6:03]at home so I'm just going to check on

[6:05]that you know tomorrow morning just to

[6:07]make sure that everything's good

[6:09]there

[6:11]um I don't know I guess

[6:14]just I mean there's not much you can do

[6:17]right so just going to read a book there

[6:20]three tornado watches right

[6:23]now but I don't know what county I'm in

[6:25]so that's another thing make sure you

[6:26]know what county you're in that's an

[6:28]important thing to know

[6:30]so that's how I secured my power box I

[6:32]think I did a pretty good

[6:34]job so quite a few campers left today

[6:37]and I was surprised cuz tomorrow's

[6:38]Memorial Day and you would have thought

[6:40]that they would have stayed till then

[6:41]right they obviously knew about the

[6:44]weather I got to get better about that

[6:46]cuz this isn't the first time I've said

[6:48]that where you just need to know what's

[6:49]the weather going to be like I know I

[6:51]say I chat with chat gbt a lot and

[6:53]that's because it's true I was just

[6:55]thinking about it you know that thing

[6:58]just helps me all the time it helps me

[7:00]with lots of things so I think other

[7:03]people probably acquire information from

[7:05]watching YouTube right so but that's not

[7:08]how I do it like if I need to know

[7:10]something I don't search for it on

[7:12]YouTube I just ask CH gbt it gives me

[7:14]the answer and then I can have a

[7:15]conversation with it and you know if I

[7:18]have questions or I think it's a way

[7:20]more efficient way honestly I'm thinking

[7:23]they must turn the power off on purpose

[7:25]you know just as a precaution I have a

[7:27]Sur protector but I know not every

[7:29]everyone does so maybe that's why they

[7:30]do it may they just turn the power off

[7:34]cuz it seems to it seems to happen

[7:35]everywhere I go and it is always you

[7:38]know during weather like this I mean

[7:40]maybe they just turn it off sure what's

[7:42]up with this cat here he seems pretty

[7:45]happy he's

[7:46]purring I don't think he's

[7:48]worried just wants

[7:51]attention right he want

[7:55]attention a little inconvenient because

[7:57]I was going to fix my bed today after I

[8:00]finished with the reflecti I was doing I

[8:02]bought these 1 in I'm not sure what they

[8:06]are I'll get it wrong some kind of high

[8:09]it's not high density foam it's harder

[8:11]than that I don't know what it is but I

[8:13]think it'll work I think it is exactly

[8:15]what I needed to fix this stupid b so

[8:18]I'm really looking forward to that we've

[8:20]been without power for too long so I

[8:22]decided to turn the blue W on and plug

[8:24]my traveli Wi-Fi into it so I can at

[8:26]least get some internet I've got 80 3%

[8:30]battery life imagine that'll last quite

[8:32]a

[8:34]while this is a cool

[8:37]screen I don't really understand all I

[8:39]have is my router hooked up to it so I

[8:41]don't think that uses 120

[8:45]volts I don't know I don't know what it

[8:47]means I was hoping it could give me an

[8:50]estimate of how long it will last for

[8:52]I'll have to look at it probably can

[8:54]right so but it should last a long time

[8:57]it's a lot of battery for just the

[8:59]little router looks like we have two

[9:01]more hours of this there's a tornado

[9:03]watch and it just says rain and then for

[9:07]the next hour Thunder and then the hour

[9:09]after that it drops to 80% chance and

[9:11]then 30% chance hour after that so

[9:15]within 3 or 4 hours this should

[9:17]hopefully we'll have power again I've

[9:20]been busy though I've even in the dark

[9:22]it's pretty dark in here I'm this is the

[9:24]only place I've got any

[9:26]light that reflector is real great at

[9:28]that too

[9:30]but I've been I've been getting so

[9:33]organized here like like yesterday and

[9:36]today I've just I don't think there's

[9:38]not much left for me to do I I'm looking

[9:40]forward to showing you

[9:42]guys my bathroom is perfectly organized

[9:45]I have these shelves that are a whole

[9:47]bunch of stuff I you'll

[9:49]see there's not much left for me to do I

[9:52]was going to fix my bad next my back is

[9:55]killing me like and I've never had back

[9:59]pain in my life so this bed is just

[10:01]killing me I I don't understand that I

[10:04]replace the bed right

[10:06]but just has to be right where right

[10:09]here is just 1 in gap whole thing

[10:14]so it's a very uncomfortable bed but I

[10:16]got something to fix that I just it's

[10:19]got to be dry out cuz I got to cut stuff

[10:21]with

[10:22]um you know whatever those um not

[10:27]scissors you know razor blade but that's

[10:29]a certain kind of razor blade I don't

[10:31]know what they're called that's so sad

[10:34]xacto knife I guess it's kind of like

[10:37]one but yeah so I just got to wait I

[10:44]guess one and a half months of not

[10:47]sleeping you know 4 to 6 hours a night

[10:49]that's it cuz this bed is that

[10:51]uncomfortable $8,000 for this freaking

[10:55]camper and Forest River and probably

[10:58]every other manufacturer in the RV World

[11:01]puts the worst possible bad possible in

[11:04]these

[11:08]things it's

[11:10]unbelievable I do need to learn

[11:12]everything I can about my solar if it

[11:15]can be hooked up to my camper you know

[11:17]all of that

[11:19]like what I can run with it for how long

[11:22]just everything I need to know the

[11:24]details and I need to learn that while

[11:25]I'm here before I leave for Nevada

[11:28]before I start my

[11:31]pilgrimage I'm going to know

[11:33]everything about everything I need to

[11:35]know hopefully chat gbt says I can do it

[11:38]all I have to do is just use an AC

[11:40]outlet and plug it in just like I would

[11:42]to you know sh part my house or

[11:44]something so we'll try that we'll see

[11:47]how that goes see if I can run the

[11:48]microwave with AC whatever probably not

[11:50]for like a great amount of time I'm

[11:52]guessing but it' be good to know what I

[11:55]can do with it I do have out side of the

[12:00]outside of my camper there's some

[12:03]there's a solar hookup I don't know I'm

[12:05]going to have to look at I don't know

[12:06]what the connection looks like but I

[12:08]think all that does is charge the

[12:09]batteries which so that means running

[12:12]the 12vt systems guess I could run the

[12:14]12vt systems that

[12:17]way that would be cool right um I might

[12:21]charge the batteries too I don't know

[12:23]you know the camper

[12:25]batteries I have a lot to learn I do I

[12:28]never worried about weather when I lived

[12:30]in a

[12:31]house and I was thinking about it you

[12:33]know that's

[12:34]probably a false like sense of

[12:37]security cuz things happen to people all

[12:40]the time entire enre town

[12:44]sometimes nobody really expects it to

[12:46]happen to them I keep thinking that it's

[12:49]like you know it can happen to me can

[12:51]happen to anybody but when you live in a

[12:55]camper you are closer to the elements

[12:57]and it just

[12:59]it

[13:02]feels well it feels scarier

[13:05]honestly there's nothing really

[13:07]happening it's just rain I love rain so

[13:11]I don't know what it is like I guess all

[13:13]the warnings all that stuff on the Noah

[13:15]weather station

[13:18]and everybody leaving you know a lot of

[13:20]people leaving on

[13:23]everybody just feels different somehow

[13:26]but you know maybe it's should feel this

[13:29]way in the house

[13:30]too cuz you really never do

[13:35]know yeah

Summary

The speaker is experiencing severe weather while staying in their RV at a campground. They lost power due to tornado warnings and thunderstorms, with wind gusts up to 90 mph and flash flood warnings. **Weather preparation**: They secured outdoor equipment, identified the safest interior location, and used battery power systems to maintain internet access through their router.

**Cooking preparation**: They've been working with ChatGPT to learn cooking skills and ordered equipment including a portable charcoal grill, induction heating devices, and an electric skillet. This is part of preparing for boondocking during their upcoming westward travel.

**RV organization and maintenance**: Nearly finished organizing the interior space. Planning to fix their uncomfortable bed using 1-inch foam material once the weather clears. The bed has a gap that causes significant discomfort and sleep disruption.

**Solar power learning**: Needs to understand their solar system capabilities before leaving for Nevada, including what appliances can be powered and for how long. Plans to test running various devices through AC outlets.

**Weather awareness**: Reflecting on how living in an RV makes them more aware of weather threats compared to house living. Many other campers left the campground early, apparently anticipating the severe weather.
