America has always been about a free nomad spirit . Glad to see someone still practices this almost lost but not forgotten lifestyle.

Bri from Rico saying hi!! I’m so happy you stopped in the Fireweed and I got to meet you! Nikki is as genuine in person as she conveys in videos 💛

[garryhoward]

Nikki is one of my favorite vloggers. She cares about viewers - and works hard to produce helpful content. Awesome woman. Cute too.

Tori and I are so glad we got to see you and make such amazing memories together ❤ we miss you already!!

Good times. Great scenery. Mrs and I are a bit older now. Both of us have some medical issues that have kept us close to home for the last few years. So, we’re living vicariously through you. And, you’re doing a good job. Our two youngest grandchildren will visit this weekend. Maybe I can set up our tent in the back yard. Our city recently extended the nearby paved trail all the way to the largest park in our city. Safe travels, Nikki.

I’m late to this video but what you said about maxing out on your options rings so true. A couple weeks ago my garage door mysteriously opened by itself in the middle of the night and I’ve taken multiple steps to improve my security since then, from getting a stronger door between the house and garage, to installing an alarm, and even signing up for a self defense class.

Name your new plant Rico! Your safety tips remind me of one of your videos from a year or 2 ago, where you were parked for the night and felt some unsettling vibes. I can't remember if you moved your vehicle (but I think you did) to somewhere you felt more safe. Recently, your cousin Sarah was embarking on her 1st wild camping experience and she too felt something was off and left for a more public spot -- I think it was a Love's truck stop. My point being is that perhaps trusting your instincts is an excellent safety tip -- if something, or a place or a person is making you uneasily twitch, follow your gut and hightail yourself out to a more secure location or somewhere where assistance is more readily available. Love your new blanket you purchased along with your dashboard plant! I can't wait to see the design for your own blanket you selected for your next Shop item!

Just put yourself in the mind's of Camper and Rodney it must be so exciting for them to be in a different place everyday the sights the sounds the smells I guess that's dog heaven

@12:10 - Another safety tip to add is always to check your vehicle before and after a trip - the fluids, tire pressue, any noticeable "spots" where the vehicle was parked.
Hopefully it's not too serious about your truck.

@17:38 Great tip not to put any PII - Personal Identifiable Information that tells you who you may be.

Always double check that you have everything before leaving a location like the leveling-blocks ( LOL )

Name for the baby plant: Dasher (given its seat in the van and its frontward position like Santa's reindeer).
All your safety tips are recommended for anyone who lives/works for extended periods on the road, so thank you, Nikki, especially the satellite SOS. Run-flat tires and your Jackery are also worthwhile safety investments. I'm glad Sarah, Tori, and you survived the mudbath and got to enjoy the cold plunge. Safe travels to all of you!🙏🏾❤️👍🏾

Awesome video as always Nikki, Camper and R.V. You always give us the best and most helpful advice and you always hang out with the most amazing people. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

[denverdubois]

"Oliver" the plant. 🙂 And Sarah and Tori!! How cool, I love them!! Awesome to see you guys hanging out, and the Krav Maga tips were actually really useful. I will remember those moves, and all your great advice as well...not only useful for vanlifers but for anybody out camping and exploring.

Great Idea Nikki vlog on Saftey, it dosent hurt to refresh and regroup, I live in sticks and bricks and always do my checks on safety when alone, I love my sensor lights around my home and cameras would not do without them Safety First. Loved the quirky little shop lovely lady so freindly and helpful, Your new plant my suggestion Rocky bc those little guys come from rocky terrain, thats why they are so hardy .Im with you with rugs so i try to avoid shops that sell them Im a shocker .Awesome catch up with Torri and Sarah i thought they rescued a stray puppy i was waiting to see it🤔anywho, the boys loved them they are gorgeous Girls Hope you have a week long blast catching up with them.God Bless you all 🙏

[alwayssunnycali]

You are truly blessed to have so many people that care about your safety 🙏💫

[terenzo]

Camper and Rodney are a total kick! Love them both to bits! Please stay safe and wonderful!

On January 29th, I found 5 newborn puppies (with umbilical cords still attached to their bellies) in a dumpster. Three of them survived and are about to turn 6 months old. Before I got them, I didn't care much about my health and safety, but now I even go to the doctor for stupid things because I'm afraid of dying. I know no one will take care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats if I die. Now I think twice before doing anything.

[iceceestudio]

Wow, small world. I used to watch Sarah and now you're meeting them. Be safe always!

[joshuamurphy]

Love ur videos u inspired me to take my 10 year old daughter on a cross country trip and hit most big land marks and we did it all in a Prius and camped in there unfortunately the Prius went down in Arizona and had to fly home to nc but we were out a week and hit every where we wanted to we had so much fun and made so many memories wouldn’t have been possible if I would’ve never came across ur videos and they helped us a lot keep up the great work I hope many more people do the same thing thank you so much

[WarJeeper]

The lake you are camping at in this video is awesome! Was there a couple weeks ago. Bit less snow but what an amazing spot!

[bettyvarone]

It's just so beautiful there, so nice to see you catch up with friends and being safe is always important.
