a rainy day living in my truck camper (story four) 

You made me chuckle. I’ll be 80 in two months & have never felt ‘old’ a day in my life. Have had to adjust and adapt as parts wear-out in aging, but diet, clean pure water, and a positive attitude can carry you a long way in this earthly incarnation. You’re a good gal and I certainly enjoy your adventures with Tara as I no longer travel & all I need is close to home in TEXAS! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 AND: HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Love rain... I don't believe in failure, just learning and growing :) Happy Birthday! For me , getting older has meant life getting better and better !

I love rainy weather once in a while. It's a great way to just chill out guilt free. :)

Happy birthday! I don't think you're alone in discovering that unlike society would have us believe, life doesn't peak at 18, 19, or even 21. There are more adventures to have and (hopefully) many more years ahead to enjoy the silence, the wonder, the majesty that this world has to offer.

I’m 44 and still haven’t “peaked” I believe the best is still to come ❤ Happy 27th Birthday, darlin’ ❤ Sending you love and the happiest wishes for another magical year ❤

Happy Birthday Alex! I love having quiet time in my bus with the rain pelting down on it, I find it really peaceful while knowing I am safe, warm, and dry. Enjoy your day, and stay safe.🎉 You did not fail, it is all part of learning, embrace it.😊

Happy Birthday Alex 🎂❤ The day was not a failure. You were out in nature enjoying the peace, feeling the wind against your face, hearing the rain on the camper. It's a beautiful life. I can't wait to watch story one hundred. ✌

You didn’t fail! You learned! I love your videos… thanks for taking us along and please give Tara some love from me!❤❤

As a 47 year old female who like you continues to discover and accept herself with time... I can tell ya I've "peaked" probably another 3 times since my 27th bday. Actually my 26th bday was when I went camping solo for a week 1300km away from home. And that trip was a turning point in my life...for the better. I wish you many peaks and many loving discoveries over the many birthdays to come. Happy belated 27th and a high 5 paw to Tara for celebrating with you as you wish to do. (and not tripping the tripod :))

Happy Blessed Birthday Honey 🎉🎉❤❤ You generally look HAPPY I'm proud of you for sharing a part of your life with us and I'm glad you share just a little bit of yours and Tara's life with us.NEVER GIVE UP NEVER GIVE IN.Onwards and Upwards. Love and Blessings

A very Happy birthday Alex from an Irish nanny living in Oz. I really enjoy your videos and love watching Terra. I loved your comment about your friend Molly... there is nothing better in this world than a friend where there's no hard work involved... they're fully there with you in those moments and everything just flows... no expectations and no demands i love it! Enjoy your day and safe travels🎉🎂🥂🇮🇪☘️

I only got to watch half of your video for the last comment, I'll tell you fly fishing is very difficult to master on your own, but with your determination you will get it. You can practice anywhere, you don't need a stream or river, just a clear area to work on your swing.

Beautiful Young Lady doing camping alone with her cute dog. Amazing,

So happy you started fly fishing!! You will love it. There is a learning curve, but fish your way, you don't have to have perfection, just have fun!! That's what I do. Many great adventures await!!

Happy Birthday Alex so glad you could spend quality time with a new friend! 🥳🥂🤗💜🇦🇺🌞

Just trust life. You learn to take each year and each month and finally each week and love to do that you like to do.and let me tell you it will get to be great to be alive.

Fly fishing is a learning curve, next time will be a step forward, a good fly fisher usually has years of practice.

Happy Birthday! No, you didn't fail, you just taking a little break!

Happy Birthday! May God bless and keep you💕💐🎂

Finding yourself and comfortable in your own skin in are what the 20’s are about. I have loved most of the ages I have been and I’m up to 68. There are always growing times and self actualization going on for ever! But you have just crossed the main one! Hang in there!

Just turned 67. I have to say that life just keeps getting better. Try to enjoy every age. Sounds like you are figuring it out!

Happy birthday Alex!🎉Oh to be 27 again!❤

Hi today is the first time I’ve watched you. And I must say you made me smile. And honestly age is just a number. Each age has its own special challenges and good points. I’m almost 70 now and about to go into a new decade. I’m not sure what it will be. But I look forward to it. I’m still learning every day and seeing new places and new things. And I still have loved ones. So if you consider the alternative then each age isn’t so bad ❤. Happy belated birthday to you ❤. Just keep being yourself.

Ohh my 27,,out camping with your puppy,,great fishing,,the freedom of the wilderness,,no mosquitoes 😂,,

I enjoyed your talking about fly fishing, I want to learn it,have a rod and real, just cannot do it. I am 79 travel in a small motorhome for the summer months, go north for the cooler weather. Happy Birthday, it is all about enjoying your life. Sincerely, Anita Vonderheid

Fly fishing is amazing! It's a dance - you'll love it the more you do!

Great video and your points made on failing. Also, on peaking. I say trying is just trying. I also never thought about peaking but I did always think I would die young. Now on the other side of 6 decades I still wonder about life Crazy how we can see & ponder things differently.

The way you’re spending your bday is what makes it special! It’s a unique thing to do, to go on a journey!! Why not!?

I don't even keep up with my birth date. Last year I was checking my calendar for something else and found out it was the day I was born. Hahaha. I guess it's not that important to me as I get older. Tara is showing us how much peace is in your abode. So sweet. Thank you and your hair is curly and pretty.

Happy Birthday Alex! You are such a beautiful young lady with a beautiful soul inside you!!! Don’t think of life as having peaks…live each day for the day it is meant to be, live each hour for the hour it was meant to be and live each minute for the minute it was to be! When I was your age I was a ski bum (13 years ski bummin’ in Steamboat Springs, CO) and thought I to had peaked. Then I turned 27 thinking I had peaked, then I turned 30 thinking I had peaked. I am now 55 and I continue to peak each year of my life, each month of my life and each minute of my life….. As always, stay safe out there…..

If fishing were easy, it would be called catching Happy Birthday Ms. Alex

It's been my experience that fish eat in the morning as the sun is raising and setting and the rest of the time they play with whomever comes along to fish. In steams, they are found in white water and with lakes, turn a rock over by the water to see what they've been eating. Or use some heavier weights and put garlic on the hook. Fish like smelly stinky stuff, like old clams or sharp cheddar. And get a real fishing pole. Fly fishing is something only a pro should teach you. It's like the high end of fishing and you can't just grab a pole and be a pro from the beginning. Try crickets on your hook, especially in high mountain lakes where the trout get big and picky about what you offer them. Happy 27th, and yeah your still a kid, still have some daring in you, still a little bold and somewhat bullet proof. Once you hit 30 you start to mellow. Enjoy your new age while you have it, and remember, it's only good for a year. Keep the video's coming and remember we're here for you, if you get lost send up a flair, and one of us will tell you what direction your headed.

Happy Birthday! And Congratulations, you are a fisherperson! Failure isn't the right word, you are learning the tricks and techniques...my hubby (a former fishing pro in Western OR) still has things to learn because each river or lake is unique. Keep going, you are doing GREAT. 😊

Happy Belated Birthday! Every year we live is truly a blessing. So many young and older do not get to see many birthdays.

Happy Birthday!🎉 Life is an adventure! I've got 30 more years of memories than you telling me to not stop looking forward to the possibilities. I've learned that my outlook has changed. What happiness, success, friendship, financial stability looks like have evolved. I think you're way ahead of the game by doing what you brings you joy and not what you "should". We're not guaranteed anything. It's taught me to try to live more in the now. Enjoy!!

Great choice in music 👍👍 Tyler Childers is always appropriate!

Growing older is a privilege.

Finally a realistic truck camping channel!!

I heard once that only dead people never change. That's when I decided to embrace change and live life to the fullest. Happy birthday.

U didn’t look ridiculous I am a learning vicariously thru u!

Happy birthday 🎉 You have tons of gumption! IMO your fishing trip was a success, you gained so much knowledge!! Keep it up and congrats!

Just getting into fly fishing, got some basic rods, line, and flies. There is alot to learn and it may be a good idea to get a tenkara set up.

Happy birthday 😄 I’m in my late 50s… best years of my life ☺

Happy belated birthday, I'm 58 and I love hiking with people your age.Keeps me young.

Happy Birthday, Alex🌹 Can’t fail when you are teaching yourself a new skill! You will be catching fish in no time! But…..do you know how to clean them?. Lol Enjoy the new experiences.

Happy Birthday 🎉 Keep trying on the fishing. Alex I love upur perspective and your thoughtfulness in your commentary. You are wise beyond your years. Hope you and Terra have a great week!

Seeing this reminded me of fishing in the Arkansas River near Canon City. Love your videos, Girl.

Alex, we all went fishing as a family when I was a kid but I never took the time to learn all the nuances. As an adult, I’ve gone off shore fishing, and I’m trying new rigs, weights, techniques, some of which work, and sadly, like today, some that don’t work. Still, I’m learning and hoping to get better each time I go out fishing. Good luck to you and don’t get discouraged!❤

Something about fishing in the rain just hits different. Get some paracord and caribeaners to practice knots with. And oh my god Tara is so stinking 'dorbs.

Hon we all fail! It just makes you stronger!

Happy Birthday. You folks get your fair share of rain but I hope it doesn't spoil your summer. When you're a nomad you can follow the sun and good weather or plan to be in a cooler climate if that is your thing. Glad to see you out and about doing what makes you happy.

Happy birthday.. I'm still a beginner fishing lady but I know basics if I had to fish just keep doing it.

Good evening Alexis & Tara ! Happy Be-lated Birthday ! Thank you for sharing your special day ! Just remember fishing isn’t always about the catch, it’s all the little cherished moments that lead up to it ! Failure is only when one uses every excuse to not pursue what their heart desires in the moment ! Cast a line every chance you get & keep smiling !

Happy belated birthday, Alex. A nice, quiet, relaxing day with Tara and a meal with a friend is always a nice time. Don't think of your mistakes today as failures, UT as learning experiences. Now you know what not to do and what you need to do. Like practice tying knots 😉

Friends thar are easy like Sunday morning 😊🌞

Happy Birthday Alex.

It’s called “live and learn “! Beautiful scenery!

Happy birthday! Enjoy your “you” time! I spent my 66th (!) birthday alone at Joshua Tree NP this year 🎉🎉

Happy Birthday Sister

Happy birthday to you Alex, may you have a bright and day on your birthday may it put a smile on your face

RU-vid can teach you almost anything with the videos,,, actually doing it is on you,,, practice,practice,practice 😊😊😊

I'm a big believer..What we learn is what we know ? Your videos are awesome and helpful. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Happy birthday 🎉 I’m so glad your enjoying life and going on adventures I truly enjoy watching your channel gives me peace ❤

Keep smiling it reflects the pulse of your soul, HBD 🎉

First time I’ve seen your video it was fantastic. Looks like good places to fish and camp and love your dog. I actually learned a couple things from you very good video. This is Steve hopefully we’ll meet up someday and will have a cuppa coffee until then travel on.

i love rain you have a good life

Hi, Alexis! I found your YT channel just now. You're an interesting young person with lots of positivity. Have a blast birthday though you're celebrating by yourself. Take care, from your new fan from Malaysia 🇲🇾.

Happy Birthday! Don’t rush the ‘peak’😊

I just subscribed to your channel just now... let me just wish you a very happy birthday...I adore your beautiful dog... your channel is fantastic.... keep up the great work you are doing.... from Ireland... happy birthday again

Your a naturally good person is what draws me to your videos,and also you do cool stuff.

Love how you're trying new things (fishing, yes!!). Fly fishing will take a while to get the hang of... but keep at it! Love how your filming/edits have changed. Feels like we're watching a movie with multiple cameras at times. Take care.

First time watching your channel. Loved it defiantly will continue to watch. And you either succeed or learn. You never fail. You Learned a ton on the river. We are always learning in life. Always getting better everyday in some way. Happy Birthday and I look forward to your adventures..🙏🏻❤️🤙🏼🇺🇸

Happy Birthday. I just came across your channel. Beautiful dog. 🐶 God Bless you 💖🤗

Happy birthday! Here’s to many more!

The weather could be leftovers from the hurricane that came up from California! The haze from Canada, they are dealing with fires up there! I heard there's a hurricane in Florida like yesterday! We usually get what's left over to the northeast! I enjoy your videos though

Happy Birthday! This channel I just started watching keeps getting better and better! No it was not a failure this day, every day on the water is a new and learning experience. Keep at it and it will happen just keep learning each time out and have fun!

Nope, not a fail at all! Learning experience for sure tho!

The two most important days in our life are the day you are born and the second is the day you find out why.

Hey happy birthday hope you are ok and driving in The rain be safe

I noticed you using what looks like an Apple charger and would recommend getting a 12 volt USB C adapter. Theoretically the system loss will be much less than any AC adapter.

Well done, keep on keeping on.

Happy birthday Alex!🎉🎉

Happy birthday sweet ❤love your content creating skills! Enjoy ❤

Happy birthday beautiful lady

My God woman, you are radiant! My fly-fishing advice (I'm no master)... some days just aren't good for fishing!😂 Thanks for the Bluetti rundown...I'm considering picking up a portable solar generator and some panels. I'm trying to figure out which brand offers the best quality and best reliability. Also, there's no such thing as failure, only practice for success❤

Looks like lots of good life lessons. Success and failure; yin and yang. Thank you for sharing.

Happy Birthday! I enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday Alex

Happy Birthday Alex 🎂🥰

Love your sweet dog

Happy Blessed Birthday 🎊 I like regular fishing 🎣 ❤. Never was good at fly fishing or not enough patience ❤ Safe travels

It is only a failure if you didn’t learn anything from it! Keep trying, watch videos, get the equipment you feel comfortable with and afford. I would get a fly rod and not use what you were using. Al’s trout and other fish sit in the Eddie’s behind rocks or along the slow moving bank. They won’t be in fast moving water. It uses up too much energy. So target the slow areas and throw upstream and let the current carry your fly past these places. Once past reel in a cast again, try a couple times the try another bank or rock and work the stream. Then move up or down stream and work it all. You’ll pick it up. May want to invest in a guide, who will put you on the fish but will give you some lessons on fly rods and fly fishing. Happy Belated Birthday! 27 I just got out of the Army and was working in Philly. I am 30 years your senior. I was in the best shape of my life from 19 to 35. You still have peaks up to your later years! It is all how You look at it for yourself.

Happy Birthday love watching your videos

I love rein

You're so young! 😊

Have a great and blessed 🎉 birthday!
