I think it's a purity-of-heart thing. Dogs' joys seem so pure of heart, and while I KNOW dogs pick up on OUR vibes, I think we revel in at least some of theirs.
You should consider a body harness for Camper attached tothe seat in case having to slam on the brakes. Just a safety thing. He has alot of space to flying.
Hi Nikki, started following about 7 months ago and am so impressed how you make this work for you and Camper. My wife is a professional trainer in NE for over 33 years, I dabble since retiring and we currently have 7 dogs, 6 Lagotto ( we show and selective breed) and 1 rescue English Shepherd. I think Camper couldn't have found a better partner for his and your perfect friendship. I make Paracord Collars and leads and would like to gift you a complete safety set of 1 collar with bells, a convertible lead for hiking, walking, & traffic in Safety orange and yellow, a separate wide Trilobite collar and matching 5' lead. This is the only way I know how to reach out to you. I would send it to any UPS shipper or PO box you choose. Stay safe stay strong. Larry & Toni
As always another great adventure. Camper always puts a smile on my face. I just lost my old girl Charity..She was 14 years old 7 and a half months. I rescued her when she was 6 weeks old. A wonderful companion and friend ❤️. Have a nice weekend
This is probably the most well-thought-out and and exquisitely finished camper I have EVER SEEN!!! You absolutely have a fourth career option as a “Van Lifestyle” vehicle designer!!! LUV the totally deadpan topless barista transaction!!!
Thank you for the high compliments!! 🥰 I think after years in a vehicle being as lucky as I have been to test out so many companies rigs, you learn SO MUCH! Hugs!
I must say that I'm Soo happy to see you living under better conditions. I don't know how you lived for so long in that little car! One of the things I love about you is that you never complaint, you focus on the solutions and make it a pleasant experience for everyone. I'm blown away by your gorgeous van👏👏👏🎉
I’ve been a big fan of your posting for 2 years your independence and creativity for your daily lifetime experience is a thing of beauty and rigorous ritual is a positive prescribe role model for channeling your wanderlust desire to travel with camper appreciate your expansive opportunities for viewers to learn how is it to realise how diverse your country is thank you for sharing 🇳🇿 hi Kiwi NZ
Miss Delventhal, last year around this time I had boath a Minor stroak and a minor heart attack, both ont my right side, I Always thought it all happened on your left side, but my Dr. Said it can happen on the right. 🤔 Who Knew? Anyway, I'm proud to say, that I'm starting to get back to my old self, I even just helped my older brother move 😁 But I wanted to take the time to say I love your channel. Your stories have brought me lots of happiness over the past year, you need to know, that you & Camper have helped me every step of the way. I just wanted to say thankyou for sharing your stories, they've meant alot. 😊
Some people would say stay with the feeling and work yourself through it by asking yourself why do I feel so down then you find out start crying which brings relief and you never have to work through that thing again then move to the next thing to process, your doing good Niki don’t be afraid to confront your feelings because behind it there is permanent relief
I'm building my 2nd van now and bought the fold down shower that you have in your van. Thank you sooooo much for letting me know about that product. It changed my van design from having the full-size shower (because the wife really wanted the shower) to having that fold-down shower and in the shower space we're going to have a cupboard with hanging space and drawers now!!
Camper is such a rock star! I remember the video when you found him. What a blessing for you and for all of us who follow you guys! Thank you for sharing and please be safe!
It seems those snazzy new pants don't em- bear-ass you! I enjoy watching you and Camper very much. He usually finds tge biggest stick around! I wish you great fun in your future travels!
As someone who lives in the PNW on the northern Oregon coast, I can attest to the seasonal depression. It rains so much here, the depression is real for a lot of us.
Nikki you and camper are amazing!. You always make me laugh with your antics. Every time I think about how long you lived and survived in a Prius, I am in awe. I'm loving your new ride and wishing you and camper happy times and safe travels.
You need a Pilot's Check List starting from the back and working your way up to the front! That way you wont forget anything and once you establish a routine you won't need the check list any longer! 😂 That was funny! I just love the new custom built "adventure home" and can't wait to watch your new adventures! Camper is just so happy it makes my heart sing watching him!
NO bugs in winter (unless the temp gets to ~ 40° - 45°, then you contend with ticks, which are horrendous this April, and May '23!!) I want your - looks, RV home, and lifestyle!! Glad you are, mostly (except for "glitches"!) having a great life!! (Coffee girl, after my own heart!) Hugs to Camper and your Family!! 💗💗💗💗
you are a ray of sunshine and bring so much joy to social media …. thanks for that ❤ that soul feeling you get in nature i get it too …… it’s such an intense beautiful feeling it can be very addictive 🍀🌺🌞❄️
Actually Nikki I find it hard to describe your personality. You are so amazingly wild, adventurous,happy,sweet,and animated, a special individual. Enjoy your new home and your dog.
❤ I'm a newer subbie, this video made my day. You and Camper are awesome!! Yes it is the best feeling when dogs are happy. I'm just starting out but will be living this lifestyle full time in 10 years when I'm retired. Be safe blessings thank you again 💙
Hi Nikki - I helped my sister decide on a camper here in Tasmania after many mths researching options and manufacturers - the Mercedes Sprinter seems to be one of the best for fit-out and reliability - she loves it and does solo or group tours with a female-only Australia wide network called Tag-a-long - I also helped her with an EBike purchase and she decided on an NCM Milano for build quality and standard durable equipment - good to see your healthy cuisine on the road and Camper has such a huge grin as your travel companion - enjoy the new Sprinter.
Always a Fun and adventurous video Nikki thanks !! Love the van ,its perfect for the both of you and great for us as we watch you traverse the different terrain. That naked coffee concept is interesting, and everyone leaves with a smile. Looking forward to the next stop. 🥰🐾🌸✌
Diesel burns cleaner than gas but the carbon footprint is still impactful. The Prius was so much cleaner and charming. Hope that Sprinter upkeep isn’t too $$$.
Nikki, I live for your vids!!!! Don’t forget to take a break for yourself❤ You bring us so much awesome content but I know it must get tiring. I used to have an adventure blog but I got too overwhelmed because when I’d explore, it was always about the content. I was no longer being present in the moment and stopped my blog completely. I’m just an adventurer gal, not a social media person. Perhaps someday I’ll restart the blog and have someone help me with it so I can continue to explore and be my free self❤ Hope you and Camper have an awesome week🤘🏻
You are making Camper so happy. He is more human than dog with all his expressions. The way you got Camper is magical, he was supposed to be your dog, and it shows every day. Both of you guys are so special, love you a bunch.
It’s so good to wake up in the morning and see you be so happy and enjoying life. It’s like my morning coffee to watch Camper and you on your adventures. Thanks A lot!!!!
I totally know what you mean about your dog being happy. I just ordered a pink, doggie baby carriage for my chihuahua. She to small to do long hikes like camper. But she happy just getting out.
Congratulations Camper & Nikki! Your new digs is just beautiful!!! They did a wonderful job on it and all your personal touches are great! ❤👍🙏🏻 I'm soooo happy for you guys!
Thank you for the discount code. Got my first bottle bottle. Found your channel last month and I love how energetic you are and the adventures you go on. I found myself checking out older content as I like the vibe of the videos and the Greece videos are one of my favorites so far. Enjoy the new ride!
Anything that makes your dog happy, makes you happy! And the other way around! your dog picks up on your emotions easier than you pick up on his. So when you're happy, he is also! So you both fulfill each other's happiness!
Hi Nikki, I just subscribed to your channel because I admire your courage in doing what you are doing, and the fact that you rescued camper. Love the sense of fun you incorporate into your videos! Keep having wonderful adventures and safe travels! Love from New York City!
Like Beverley, we lost our puppy Robin a few weeks ago (like Camper, she loved to camp, hike and swim on new adventures her whole life). Your vlog, with its sense of joy and wonderment, always amazes. Keep up the great work, Nikki!
Watching u go thru life with such a great attitude and a positive vibe is soo inspiring! The van is a total masterpiece! For reals, great job on the build! U and Camp deserve it! Have fun, and safe travels!!✌️😎🤘
Hey there girlie, just a little advice coming from a diesel owner in the northern midwest. Put your anti gel in before you pump. That way it blends into the fuel better. Some will say it isn't necessary, but every little thing you can do to treat the fuel better helps.
What an amazing life you live, must be absolutely amazing to travel around. It is something I hope we can do when the children move out. A few more years, but never too late. Congratulations on the new car, looks absolutely fantastic.
😂😂😂I love Campers' opinion of the goat milk!! I so love watching your adventures. It gives me such a good feeling and reason to get up and out of the house. I love ❤️ your new van😊
Topless Coffee servers. NICE! Back in the 80's and early 90's in Florida there was a donut shop called Doughboy's Donuts that had topless wait staff. And hotdog cart vendors on the sides of the roads that went topless. Those were some fun times.
So interesting to be able to be in Winter, then to go down a few levels in elevation to be in early Spring, in your neck of the woods!! Love your Camper Buddha!!!
Oregons wildlife is so beautiful! Even the lil river you were camping near was so picturesque and perfect omg Also, I am shook the women can serve coffee shirtless in Oregon. Ngl I bet they get amazing tips
As a life long Oregonian, I didn't know we even had the topless coffee stops nor that the state even allowed them. Thought it was only a California and Nevada thing. When she said that I was like "Wait REALLY?!" 😂 But yes the nature and it's total diversity we have here is my favorite and now other than family about the only thing that would keep me in the state. I wish I could say there was more, but most of the changes in my eyes over the last decade and a half have been negatives in my opinion.
You definitely put a lot of thought into this van. It came out beautiful and I’m sure you’re extremely happy with it and it looks great. I think maybe you should’ve got a little bigger size van but it’s still a great van and utilizes some great space.
I live in Florida and I am building out my van now. Can't wait to finish it. I currently rent and my landlord is a wood worker and is helping me with the build.
Love this video! Gives me the inspiration I need in order to continue the DIY build out in my van!!! The campgrounds and lakes near Bend OR are awesome!!! Views incredible.
the bloopers are always the best part, im glad they are back! also great the repeat from last week of trying to be badass while wearing birkenstocks and socks
I know you can’t possibly always match your video persona in real life. We know that. So no pressure. But you and Camper bring us sooo much joy, fun and smiles. Thank you so much for your channel!!!!!
I lived for 17 years with a dog in my camper. Yeah when they are happy it just makes you smile and go warm inside. After he passed it was never the same so I sold my van. I say to everyone make the very most of your dog every single day, because when they are gone, you lose a piece of your heart.
