Every hike is dangerous. Its hard to show people when we make mistake but you may have saved a life today by sharing your story. I am so glad you got out safely. You are a very safe person but somedays we need a reminder. Peace right back at you!
Nomi might have saved mine. I'm not kidding. I'm planning to move north after living in the south all my life. I'm *SO* looking forward to hikes in the snow, reveling in the beauty, then returning to the warm house that smells of something cooking. The rare times it's snowed here, I ADORED doing that, but that was hiking on places I know well. Had I not seen this video, I *would* have tried a hike in snow like that through a place I didn't know well once I get moved up there. Now? Nope. NO. No way. Thank you, Nomi. Sincerely.❤
@@Liberal.Linda. I suggest joining a hiking club where-ever you move to and or really researching and using all the great tools out there such as apps and books. I moved to North Dakota from So. Cal. 30 years ago and I had a bit to learn but most people are so nice and willing to teach and help.
Nomi, I’m 77 🚺🇨🇦 and I strongly, very strongly advise, when you get up to the Yukon and the Arctic, that you do not go alone! I strongly advise that you go with a tour group in the Arctic especially, even northern BC can very dangerous places full of wild animals, lots of bears, and it doesn’t matter what colour bear you encounter, every bear is a dangerous bear. Please start looking into Tours through northern BC and the Yukon. When you get to the Yukon & Alaska, you’ll be able to find tours that go into Alaska & the Arctic I’m sure. Please do not go on your own.
Yes. If this was attempted with zero knowledge of snow hiking and she thinks it was almost death, do not attempt anything similar without a guide 😂😂 No where near dying 😊
Thanks for sharing your hiking experiences. You learned from your mistake, and I did, too. I’m from south Louisiana. I know nothing about snow. I would have thought Cool! Snow! Let’s take a hike! Thanks for the lesson, and I’m glad you’re ok
I just don't know why she takes chances like this?? We want her adventures not exploring wilderness. She keeps overlooking avalanches, bears, wolves and falling and injuring herself.🧤🧣👢⛑
as someone from cold country reading these comments is baffling. it's under a mile hike. there is a road right next. there's elecrtic lines. like this is urban place. this is afternoon walk for me in a city.
😂 I literally snorted salsa out my nose when you said, "God doesn't protect you from stupidity" 😂😂 ... truest statement ever spoken lol ... seriously, glad you made it back and are safe!!!
Whew Nomi your followers have given you a proper comment spanking on this video 😂😂😂 Seriously we just want you to be SAFE! Please get all the right gear and please be safe!! 🙏🏽
Well if this terrifies you what do you think is going to happen in The Yukon? It’s more than a notion sweetie. Lots of ppl lose their lives and they are way more experienced and prepared. Take it easy. Listen to God. No content is worth your life. At least you haven’t run into the wild animals - yet but if you keep going to remote places you will. Godspeed Nomi ❤
I enjoy being alone but it’s just some things and places I will not do or go to alone. Be safe Noami. Don’t ever put yourself in a position to be a victim or to be victimized.
I know someone who went hiking/rock-climbing and fell breaking his leg in two places. He had to be rescued. It’s always good to carry a Personal Locator Beacon God forbid anything go wrong. I am glad you were no worse off for your experience. May your Guardian Angels stick to you like glue. God Bless 🙏🏽 Nomi
Thank goodness you’re friend was ok and rescued. Nomi makes me nervous when it comes to hiking & venturing off on trails. Must be prepared when doing anything solo / hiking/camping etc Blessings and ❤️ love
You're crazy to head up a trail you've never been before, in an area you're totally unfamiliar with in cold weather. If you had fallen no one would ever know you were up there. I'm happy you acknowledged that it was a dumb move.
I've adopted you as my crazy little sister. So yeah I'm fussing at you the whole time and then at the end giving you a big relief hug that you made it back to safety. Sending you love vibes, prayers, wishes, and blessings ❤🙏❤
But God! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽 While I enjoy watching your adventures, this one had me shook for various reasons! You were alone in uncharted territory, in the snow and without the proper protective gear/equipment. I’m so glad you finally heard that voice that said “enough is enough” Please going forward, do your research and make sure that you are prepared for whatever may come your way. Keep the videos coming…I enjoy them! 🙏🏽🧡
Nomi, I knew when I read, "no you don't" that there was a hard-headed lesson to be learned. Glad you are safe, and listen, don't let me see a news report about a hiking rescue and see you being tandem airlifted from one of these snowed over hiking trails giving us a thumbs up. If it comes up again and there are not any fresh footprints in the snow, please don't let yours be the first. 💕🙏🏾

You've opened up so much since you've started your channel. You've gained alot of confidence and that's awesome. I'm happy for you. However, a lot of the caution you had before is gone. Please be careful. Your followers are interested in your well-being. Xoxo
She wasn't prepared for that hike plain and simple. When I was watching I thought oh my I hope you'll stay safe. I hope she doesn't take chances like that in the future. You can encounter a dangerous animal
I’m in Texas and I know better. Boots and walking stick is essential and especially I don’t think I would of went know I didn’t see any other cars or hikers around
Thank you for sharing this Nomi!! You could’ve left it out and we’d never be the wiser. Thank you for sharing your mistakes along with your many triumphs 💕💕💕
That sourdough sandwich was huge! And a bear is a bear regardless of color. You never know how hungry or if young cubs are close by, you are a target. ❤❤❤❤
I've been binge watching your videos and I can't even express how much I absolutely enjoy each and everyone of them. you are a true joy to spend time with and your light shines thru every moment!!! Thank you for taking me along all of your adventures.
Omg I was scared for you girl I'm so glad you turned around and went back and sneakers too get some walking boots sending you a big hug and all my love ❤
Nomi!! I thought you were PREPARED for this hike!😡 I didn't know that you had on SNEAKERS & NOT HIKING 🥾!!😡 You're too SMART for this! Do you know the purpose of a walking stick (especially in the SNOW)? To test how deep the snow is !!! No GLOVES?!?!🤬😵💫😧WHAT WERE YOU THINKING (or not) ?!?! You should've known better being from Michigan !!! PLEASE BE PREPARED THE NEXT TIME YOU GO HIKING!!! PLEASE !!! What would we do WITHOUT YOU?!?!?😭😱♥️🤗😉😁♥️
Girl, that was the dumbest thing I have ever seen you do! From the point you said there were storm warnings, and still went, I was saying NO don't do it. Who even knew you were out there? Did you not think of bears?
@@heathers.911it was the truth though. Her first warning was when she looked up the weather and it said winter storm warning. She’s lived in MI a long time. She knew better. It’s not worth risking for content. Glad she’s ok.
That happened to me & another friend on mount Rainer in Oregon years ago. Yes it’s a scary feeling as one sinks into snow. At first I thought it was fun. But then we started getting afraid of how deep that snow was & we weren’t used to that being from Texas. But we also learned our lesson as you did to just return & get out of it. An experience that isn’t forgotten. Thank you for sharing Ms. Nomi. You’re an awesome traveler & glad you take us with you! May a thousand angels always walk & protect you!
Oh you were bold BOLD in this video! 😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ You had me talking to the phone “Nomi TURN AROUND!!” Glad you’re ok and got to see& share some beautiful views with us!
“The weather changes like the wind.” One August when I was young, my sister and I were on the beach in Emerald Bay in our swimsuits. Sunny & warm. Started feeling cold so we walked back to our campsite. By the time we arrived it was snowing.
Hi Nomi!!!! Glad that sandwich tasted good!! It might have been costly, but it looked sooooo good! I really enjoy your videos!!!!! You are one of a kind.
Great time to research snow/hiking. You needed snow shoes to hike in deeper snow, which you would most definitely run into in the West. Now that you are traveling at higher elevations this is 100% normal. You didn’t almost die. You hiked in deeper snow with zero knowledge or experience. It’s not that drama, you just need to be more informed. Prepare yourself for the facts about Alaska if that’s where you’re going.
I was going to write something very similar. Postholing is not dangerous, but indeed can become quickly very uncomfortable when wearing improper gear, and no experience. Not sure why she didn't turn around in her own tracks...?
Don't be so hard on yourself! You lived through the experience and if there is a next time, you will listen to that still small voice that says DON'T DO IT!! 😂
Same. Especially if there’s a pinned comment saying the same thing. Some people get so concerned with being right or just wanting their opinion out there so badly. I’m sure she got it the first 10 times lol.
Thank you for putting that scene in, even though you knew you would get a bunch of backlash. It really is important to take hiking seriously. I didn’t think it was all that bad until you said you didn’t take the same route back. 😱That was your biggest mistake of all. I was thinking, at least she can follow her footprints back, little did I know! Glad you’re OK❤❤
Oh my Lord, if you do not start listening....this is not the first time you have done this Nomi and I am concerned for you and your safety. You should never venture out without a backpack filled with provisions. Please be safe
I'm a newer follower and have been enjoying your videos. That said, please plan more carefully on your solo hikes. Proper footwear and gear is essential - this could've gone so badly. From experience, a mile hike can easily get off track. I am so glad you made it back safe. Thanks for keeping it real.
Thank you for sharing your real experience for all if us to learn from. I chuckled at "God won't save your from stupid", but it is also SO true. Glad you are ok. Stay safe out there. ❤
I've been following you since almost the beginning. I always enjoy your "bringing us along" style. But, for some reason this is the first time that I truly felt that I was right there alongside you. Thanks for taking me with you!
OMG Nomi, u usually follow ur first instinct when God is talking🤦🏾♀️😂, the missing hiking gear, the hole in the snow (not just 1 but multiple) but hey lessoned learned when he pushed u over🤭 (I'm glad ur safe). The scenery with the waves and mountains were therapeutic and calming❤🥰🤗.
Good afternoon why don’t you invest in some walking sticks or when you do your climbing the mountains and snow like that will give you more of a balance and help with stability…take care have blessed day stay safe.❤
Glad you are ok - one of the biggest surprises that can be very dangerous in snowy woods, is tree wells. They surround the base of a tree and can be very deep! - you learned your lesson, safely, thank goodness! Lake Tahoe is beautiful - I lived in Southern California for 5 years and I kick myself for never going up to Lake Tahoe. I cannot believe that I didn't but I was in my twenties and I didnt have time or money enough to go. One day I will go there now, though. I really am happy I saw your video because I have a taste of what it's like - 😍 Lake Tahoe has several ski areas. I would love to go there since I am a skier! Thank you for the travel videos! I LOVE them! Can hardly wait to see your new build!! 🫶
Omg! Im glad you made it OUT! I lost a Best Friend to the Snow . He was A Coast Guard Veteran, he went missing and they Didn't find him till a Month Later, Buried in the Snow, ( Deceased ) : (
I agree. And an experienced hiker would have had proper boots on for the amount of snow that accumulated in the area. Was not worth it. Stay safe always! 🙏
I have that same little rice cooker. There are so many different things that can be cooked in it besides rice. I use it to warm up leftovers too. Love that little cooker!
Glad that you are okay! Lesson one, enjoy the scenery too much snow, no other footprints and you're all alone no climbing. Just walk around on the ground land and enjoy. I understand your excitement and I understand that you scared yourself and all is well. When God speaks LISTEN. I look forward to your next video.
Ok!! Now you're finally in my area of Lake Tahoe! Dont know when u were actually out this way, but today is gorgeous.. IT'll begin rain/snowing this weekend, so get yo butt out here before that happens!
You should do a cookbook for people living in their vehicles. You can have tips for storage, left overs, washing and etc. Your food looks so good. Just an idea.
It's hard to get mad at you because you're so brave, daring, enthusiastic and precious. But doggone Nomi I think you did it on this one!! You must not underestimate nature, wildlife and man! I am sure I am not only one upset with you! Love ya! ❤🕊❤
I can’t wait to retire! You make me want to see things I didn’t even think I wanted to see! lol. My husband is retired military, so I have been to a lot of places over seas, but not to much in the good ol USA. Thanks for sharing your adventures, I love it.
Hi there. Can I suggest that you don't roll your window covers up everyday. That keeps the curve in them and make it a little more challenging to stay in window. I suggest that you just lay them under your bedding to keep them flat.
You are taking the exact route we took 50 years ago camping. Up through Colorado, then Reno, then Tahoe, then San Fran, then Eureka. That’s as far north as we got! So fun to see it again. Thank you!
Nice video Nomi. Love the footage of Lake Tahoe. Beautiful. Would be a good idea to carry a physical map on a hike just in case cell phone service goes off.
As you can see they had a very heavy snow fall this winter. Going out on a trail snow packed that has winter storm warnings is not smart. Do you remember the story about the Donner party? Make smart decisions. They got over 7 FEET of snow. You could drop in and be found next summer
Nomi, 😂 you Crack me up😅 Love your videos! You are an awesome soul ...putting yourself out there to share with us each and every crazy moment 😂 Be safe and know we keep you in our prayers 🙏.
❤ Good Day Naomi 🌻🌞Wow that was a Scariest Hike! Really,you could have slipped of the edges in snow& ice😱 Good thing you got some Vibes from God!👍👌🤞✌️🙏🙌🌟🤩
You’re not stupid. You are adventurous. I would advise getting snow shoes as you go further north you may find them really useful. You can easily wear them on your back as a just in case. X
