ROAD-TRIP gone WRONG… 

As a "big-truck" driver for 18 years I can say you got the important "bits" right. You came to rest UPRIGHT, UNHURT (well, physically at least it would seem) and able to press on. It IS traumatic to go through this sort of thing and after you step out of the car, easy to wander off aimlessly and step into an abandoned mine shaft or something, so gathering your wits after the "event" was very smart. Kudos for keeping your head! Oh and a huge hug to help with the post-crash "shakes and wiggles" you get when the adrenaline fades. We love you! Remember to all of us, sheet metal is cheap but you, young lady, are PRICELESS!

Thanks for the video !! Never feel bad, I’ve learned a lot by making mistakes that’s what makes one wise !! 🧐Always enjoy watching your videos…stay safe and take care !!

Getting things wrong is how we learn to get things right :)

Glad you are ok Becky, we have all done that sort of thing. Take care.

Well we won't ditch you Becky, your channel is amazing and so are you. You live and learn and make mistakes along the way. So honest of you to share it, so put it behind you and keep making top notch videos. Glad your OK!!

Could of been much worse they say when drivers first year have accidents. Lucky it never turned over stay safe x

Glad you are ok. Everybody has had stories like that. I always have back up stuff in my car.

The principal is that you are ok🥳🥳🥳. The rest is metal. Really happy to see that you are fine. Be carefull. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Glad to see you're OK and safe. Definitely a learning experience. Please stay safe and healthy!

Hi mate. At least the car didn't 'roll over' as that is easily done & you are fine which is the main thing. This is what gains you experience so learn from it & move on. I would recommend being a member of a recovery organisation if you aren't already. It certainly brings peace of mind. Looking forward to your upcoming videos xx

The most important thing is that you're OK. These things happen unfortunately especially on open country roads. A tow rope is usually a good piece of kit and a first aid kit along with jump leads. A blanket is always a good thing to carry, a folding spade aswell

I always have a space blanket, wool blanket, first aide, water (24pk), fire starting kit, some canned and dehydrated foods, and a hand radio in the car whenever i go on a camping trip/ long drive up north.

That's happened to most of us. Don't feel bad. I carry a small backpack in my vehicle that weighs about 18 ponds. It has 5 days of food, a fire starting kit, water and water purification, a small folding saw, a mora garberg, a box stove with fuel tabs, cook pot, canteen,small 30 degree sleeping bag, first aid/trauma kit and reflective tarp and cordage for shelter.

It's worth including a tow rope in your emergency car kit and making sure you know where the towing eyes are in case you get stuck and a tractor passes by that can help you. Other gear I carry all the time is a basic first aid kit, basic toolkit, a bit of cash, warning triangle, hi-vis jacket, foil blanket and torch + headlight. Food/drink + warm clothes/waterproofs and a powerbank aren't permanently in the car but I take them depending on how long my journey is. I'm glad you're ok and the car isn't damaged.

Glad you're okay that's the main thing :) Had a flat tyre on a dual carriage way in the dark recently, very glad for all the safety kit I have especially warm clothing and torches. One thing I didn't realise is if you have a flat tyre (which wasn't fixable) and the vehicle comes with no spare they won't tow you. Must look at getting an emergency spare wheel now.

So glad that you were not injured! I have done similar things in my life and you learn from each one. Blessings!

Glad there are no injuries. Winter break downs over here can be quite dangerous. I do carry an emergency kit including first aid and warmth. Keep safe.

I've learned so much over making mistakes and some were hard lessons learned. We all do it so chin up it's all good. Be safe out there.. love all your vids. I live in the US and your voice is that of an angel..😇😇

As long as you are 100 percent ok, the car can be replaced or fixed. I'm glad that you are ok.

It’s great that only your ego was injured. Looks like the car wasn’t too badly damaged. You’re right, it could have been a lot worse. When behind the wheel, that’s your job and nothing else. So glad you’re okay!!

Your safe, not hurting, cars can always be fixed, God bless you

I think what people in the camping community should say when something happens like this is that... LIFES A PITCH! 😜 The main thing is that your safe, take care out there

Never mind. These things happen to most of us at some point in our driving career. Dont feel bad. It will without doubt make you an even better driver as you will be more aware in a similar situation in the future. As long as you and no one else was not hurt that is all that matters. All the best.

Glad your ok. ✌️👊

Glad you are all right. Best wishes!

Glad that you are ok. Hopefully your car isn't damaged. I like to keep a wool blanket, water, food, lantern, tire repair/plug kit, and some kitty litter (I live in Wisconsin and use the litter to gain traction if stuck in ice or snow)

I'm so happy to hear that you weren't harmed. These things happen so please don't beat yourself up too bad about it. See you on the next adventure, Becks!

Glad your ok! You live you learn!! Chalk it up to experience and take the lesson 😊 we have all been there!!

Ooh no. Glad you’re okay

Done it myself around Fort Bill. One wheel down a ditch and you're done. Same trip I saw three more over the week. Last year I was first on the scene if a rollover, an old bloke was upside down. I went to help. Car was a mess blood, all over the interior. It turned out to be his wife's strawberry jam, he'd just been shopping and was fine !

Life is live and learn, glad you wasn’t harmed

Happy to see your unhurt. 😀😀 I carry a self inflating mattress and a large throw. The batteries in small torches go flat too quick so l carry a large lantern type with the large square battery and replace it every year. The wheel brace you get with the car are useless too small. One with an extending handle is what you need. Hope you enjoy your trip look forward to your next blog. 😁😁

So glad you weren't hurt! Cars can be replaced,you can't!

Hope your OK. I stopped one winters night to help a guy who done the same. Easy done x

Very glad you are ok. Hope you have had your car checked fully.x

So glad you're ok, keep in mind that for every mile of road there are 2 mils of ditch. lol We've all been there. Have a great day.

Glad you are safe and sound!

I've got a 4x4 pick up and always keep a selection of tools, WD40, ropes, a tow chain, jump leads, a couple of torches, a small fire extinguisher, 12v air pump, space blankets and a decent first aid kit in the cab (it all fits easily behind the back seat) so that I can help myself or others in an emergency. I also have a big roll of gaffer tape so I can fix something that isn't meant to move and a hammer to move things that are supposed to move but won't.

Just glad your ok!

Glad you’re ok!!! I always carry a pack in my truck with enough gear for a couple of days

I glad you are ok, be careful and take care of yourself 🚙

My mom used to say "a car is an appliance with wheels". Glad you are well!

Glad you weren't hurt! Tricky bit of fast road there. I carry a window breaking mini hammer/knife (ResQme) in my car in case the doors won't open. I have it permanently attached to the dashboard in a non-airbag area that I can reach with my seatbelt on. It's no good in the glove box or the door pocket if the car is upside down or my seatbelt is jammed. Learnt that the hard way! I also have a multi-tool type entrenching-spade in the boot, lots of torches, a sleeping bag, tarp & water and these items never leave the car. Also Hi-viz vest, first aid kit, tyre puncture kit, zip ties, duct tape, multitool, rope, trangia&messkit. And I want to get a couple of snatch blocks for good measure!!

Thank God you're safe!!!

Hi Becky, pleased you are ok. I live in Mid Wales not too far from Elan Valley. So i always carry a cooker, water, coffee and sleeping stuff. Mainly coz of snow or flooding. Oh...and I just bought a packraft!lol

I'm glad you're ok Becky

No damage done & you are alright Becky These things can happen to anyone. One way to look at it you picked one of the best & most scenic places to....ahem.... park.🤣.... all the best, look forward to watching your next adventure..

Thank heavens you are safe!

So glad your ok beckie and the car is not too damaged I bet after it happened the shock kicked in but you are very capable and you know how to survive. I keep a power bank and a 12v heater that it will power and a blanket and shovel and always have chocolate bars in my glove box .and I don't go travelling that much but you never know when the snow will hit or a fault might appear when your out in the country side .your amazing and love all your videos keep up the good work 🤗x

Glad your to see your ok little Becky

It's all part of the learning curve of driving. I used to be a driving instructor and I used to tell those that passed their tests , now the real learning begins. Driving on roads you're not to familiar with can be totally different in daylight and night time. Winter roads in the Highlands can be treacherous especially with black ice about. Glad you're OK albeit out of pocket a bit. Hope the cars OK as well. Keep the great videos coming. 👍

First and foremost, glad to see you're OK. On the narrow roads in the Highlands and around the NC500 route this sort of thing is quite common. If you're solo then an emergency beacon of some sort is worth considering, mobile signal isn't always there in the Highlands either. I work in IT and used to spend my life on the road so learnt to carry a few things like a warm coat, an old towel (to use as a mat and for cleaning in the event of a puncture), water and snacks and have since added a little hexi stove and coffee from UN ration packs, along with a US army style canteen and mug to heat things in. The M8 (Motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh) has a high point at Harthill Services that is very prone to heavy snow in winter and getting stuck there isn't uncommon. Lastly I also carry a bottle of pre-mixed screenwash so I can keep the windscreen clear.

I'm so happy to hear you didn't get hurt :)

Take care always Becky and stay safe.

Stuff happens to all of us , glad you are ok , yes carry your backup stuff.

Hi Becks. Thanks for sharing your experience. So glad the ditch wasn't a deep one! I don't think for one second you're a careless speeding driver but in my lifetime I've seen so many accidents that were avoidable by simply slowing down a bit especially on the tricky narrow sections. Remember it's better to be a bit late but alive! (I'm sure you know this already) If any idiot behind you starts tail-gating just pull over and let them pass. From looking at the wheel ruts on the video I'm thinking you weren't going very fast when it happened and I'd bet a month's salary you had your seat belt on. Stay safe mate, we love you.

Glad to see that you’re ok and came away from that wee mishap unscathed. Stay safe.👍🏼

So glad YOU and your car are safe and ok Becks. When you drive these narrow country roads like we do to get to the lakes, lochs and mountains it's an occupational hazard. Put it in the life 'experience bank' and learn from it. Could have been a lot worse and you handled it amazingly :-). Like Elliot said, cars are metal and plastic and can be fixed or replaced. If you walk away upright and unhurt, that's a hell of a good result. Couldn't have picked a prettier place to come off the road mind you..!! Keep up the good work Becks.

Glad your safe and sound. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Very brave and honest of you to tell the world you got it wrong, many would have kept it quiet. That's why we love you and your work.

Glad you are ok. It could have been a lot worse. Stay well and be safe.

hope all is going well now

Cars are replaceable but people aren’t. As long as you walk away safely it’s never a bad day. It’s all a learning curve as a new driver and is sure going to give you more experience as to what can and will happen. I personally always carry an emergency kit which includes a flashing yellow light that fits magnetically to the car. Glad your 👍

Nothing ever goes wrong, it's just a new adventure. ❤️❤️👍👍❤️❤️

It's only a bit of metal and plastic. Can be sorted. Your safe, all good.

The important thing is that you are OK!

I carry quite a lot to make sure I would be ok if stranded, lot of it old camping stuff I don’t use anymore. The shizzy hits the fizzy when ever you least expect it!! Xx

Glad you are ok Becky

That’s why they are called accidents, as you say could have been worse, main thing your ok 👍, in the past always carried food water and a swag, the areas I used to travel were quite remote might be a couple of days on the roadside, take care stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thank god you’re ok Becky ,it can happen to any of us , the important thing I your ok 🙂x

Pretty standard lovely, so no worries there!!....just glad that you're safe to be fair.

Awww glad your ok becky!

Glad you're safe!

Thanks for sharing, we all make mistakes or rather have learning experiences. As long as you are OK, nobody's hurt, then all is good. I always try to have enough on me or in my car to survive an unexpected overnight stay. Remember the more you do, the more fun you have, but the more learning experience opportunities you will have. Just be prepared & enjoy.

Next time you fancy off roading Becky , yer dads vehicle is better suited ! Glad you are safe and well .

Glad that you and the car are OK; must have been a traumatic experience for you,. i always carry an emergency pack when driving into remote areas in the winter months. It holds a flask of boiling water and an ordinary bottle of water, coffee sachets, some energy bars, and a couple of John West tuna salads (long shelf life and don't need refrigeration). I'll also have a sleeping bag, torch and a few light sticks as well as a snow shovel and snow mat for tyre grip if I need to get out of a hole ! I've not been stranded yet but have come very close a couple of times and what I had stashed in the boot gave me a lot of reassurance.

Glad you weren’t hurt,that’s the main thing.take care out there.

:) You handled your off road experience quite well. Thank you for letting us know you are okay. So crack on and be safe. Stay warm also. And have a wonderful day.

Arr never Becky. Main thing is your okay and your car is still Road worthy and not damaged. 👍

Get yourself full breakdown cover - a lot of insurance companies include it. I had to use mine today and got a tow home after breaking down this afternoon, plus a taxi home (70km) for other passenger. The tow truck went all the way back to my house with the car on the back.

Most young drivers have a misshap it's part of the learning process, ( I had at least one) looks like you weren't going fast which is important and therefore able to walk away though with some luck ! I live near kyle of lochalsh and always use winter tyres on my skoda 4x4 with stoves sleeping bags food and tea etc usual sort of stuff for a Mountaineer / Bush crafting type. Big of you to make a video off it.

Cars can be fixed and replaced glad your okay x

Hi, luckily you are healthy yourself and no one else was injured. You can repair or replace a car, that is an afterthought.

I am just happy that you are safe Becky. We've all had some frights along the way, you are not on your own. Learn from the experience, don't worry and move on. The experience is all part of the learning curve. Really enjoying your videos here in Australia. We always have a warm sleeping bag, water, some food, a torch, charged phone, map and toilet paper in the car. In addition, in remote areas I always take a personal locator beacon in the car and when I am hiking.

At least you werent hurt, thats all that matters. Andy from North West England

Dammit ..that's my favourite colour car...very glad you are safe and well ...💙💚☯️

Becky you sweetheart, so many would have freaked out in this situation, but you handled it well. Although it's the first time you have looked slightly upset at anything. You are very wise young lady, you have the knowledge with all your outdoor activities and bush craft to survive in these situations. Glad you stayed upright and are ok. We all make these mistakes, the main thing is to learn from them. Enjoy the rest of you road trip in Scotland 🙂🛻

Great to see that you were not hurt, and that you learned from the experience..

I'm just glad you are safe and not injured !

Just glad your OK. X

Glad you’re ok! Could have been much worse, take care x

glad there is no damage. right outside the best road I cycle on which can be scary on a bike. welcome back. whats ur plans, where you heading .

Glad your okay

Thank God ur safe...the self confidence u have from bushwhacking.... definitely...prepared u for this...continued success in 2022....and safe travels...big hugs!

I'm so sorry you had all this turmoil but glad you were unhurt and your car was OK. These unfortunate things happen.

"wisest person in the room is the one who's made the most mistakes" ~ quote i read somewhere :)

Euw ! That spot looks familiar to me, did an off-roader near Etive Bridge because of an huge oncoming camper, a very nice guy from Kings Hotel pulled me out with his Landrover. Many greetings from Holland !

A car is replaceable a life is not, good to see your ok. Stay safe young lady…

Ha ha I was driving up Glen Coe in our camper van talking about standing on top of Crowberry Tower, when I ran off the road too, not a crane though to help but a helpful chap in a Landy. Back on road and feeling like a muppet.

All that matters is that you are ok and you kept your wits about you the car can always be replaced you can’t, look forward to seeing your next video cheers Becky 👍🏕

So easy to do! Where I live, they cut pits in the edge of the tarmac, so when you wander over too far you hear a loud rumbling from the tires. It happens more often that you'd think!
