In this video, I spend a little time in my home in the mountains. While I have been living on the road full time and plan to continue to be living in my SUV, I also have this property to call home when winter sets in.

National Park Trips:
I’m Christine and after my plans to hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 2020 were derailed, I have decided to spend time living on the road– camping, hiking and backpacking. # haha! Most of the time I am leading a minimalist life, off-grid in the wilderness backcountry or boondocking at camp.

Recently stumbled upon your channel while looking for other solo female travelers and I am obsessed!! You are such a sweet, refreshing soul with so much talent it's hard to believe your channel is still so small 🙂 happy trails!
Bautiful place , seems to be very peaceful
Great intro….natures beauty from the forest to kitchen baking 👍 Good to see Utah autumn….watch geoengineeringwatch.org to see why caliofornia is becoming an arid wasteland where forests once thrived
I need a fence that tall around my fruit trees…deer! winter is the time for a place of refuge, so it's good to have a place go.
At the risk of sounding like a misogynist old fool, both you and indeed the food, looked absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely loved the opening scenes; the colours and textures. So peaceful.
✌❤🇬🇧
Living your dream is an awesome experience. Thank you for sharing your life. Keep journeying.
Love the start of this video…what an excellent job you did. You inspire me.
Sorry you feel you that california doesn't have camping adventures for you.
Love that you utilized the local fruit. Great for nutrition at the right price.
Those sugar pears are so so good and that recipe,,,,,,,, a must have for the future, you could incorporate any fresh fruit in that I'm thinkin
Great Stuff Christine
Time to start putting pen-to-paper!!!

You have a way of explaining the preparation of hiking, camping, trail scouting, overnight backpacking, life on road…etc like no one else. 👍
You have a natural ambitious quality, but you’re humble enough to realize you’re not an expert.
I appreciate your willingness to share your journey in learning how to be a better hiker.
I hope one day you decide to write a book!!
I wouldn’t even begin to know which books to read to learn the skills for overnight backpacking excursions or camping.
Then when I think “well I’ll just find a book”…but they wouldn’t have that flair for explaining the way you do.
I’m sure it pains your heart to have this fork-in-the-road from your former life…but understand that was just a chapter…
You’re on a new chapter…
A chapter that has really made you stronger and put you in a place, adventuring, that you belong.
Sometimes I feel like you’re hesitant to embrace it… But with every video you share I see you’re becoming more assured that this is where you should be.
This is just another chapter, and with each new chapter in our lives, we become “a great book”.
Take care 🍁🎃🍁
🙏
The photography and videography gene sure seems to run in the family.
I didn't know how much preparation was needed for backcountry hiking. Appreciate your sharing how you prepare.
Your video photography is always top notch. Since watching your channel, I've seen a huge positive change in your self-confidence. Your an inspiration to us all!
Yum! Those home-grown pears in the German pancake looked delicious! 😋. Will have to look up a recipe.
And I’m in the same boat . Perishable food is over an hour drive away. 🙄. But I’ll still take being able to see the Milky Way over the ability to easily pick up eggs. 😊
Very well done! Love this time of year, and where your at , love the colors!!! Hope you don't get offended, never seen you in a dress and I must say you have nice legs for it! 👍
Mmmmmmmm……your making me hungry. I still need to get use to seeing you with the blond hair. Coming to Cali ! You should let me know if you will be in the Sierras at all?…Love to maybe meet you in person. Fires are finally starting to subside. Take care on the road, do stay safe out there and LOL being sent your way…By the way they run an Ultra Race in the Tushers…its put on by Arivipa Running. You should check it out…Take care
Beautiful plece baby .
Hi Christine! Greetings from Denmark 🤗. In these times where it is difficult – or almost impossible – to travel abroad and experience beautiful landscapes, it’s a real pleasure to follow your (and Catherina’s) video’s. And not least experience your wholehearted and enthusiastic video stories. Keep on running – or may I say hiking!
Hello, great seeing you and hearing you winter plans. I enjoy following.
That looks like an awesome place! The breakfast looked yummy! Thank you! 🤙
I came home from work and turned on the computer to catch the news. No new news to be found. Then I see that Christine has a new video and clicked on it. Immediately the calmness that comes from the sights and sounds of nature takes hold. This is the perfect topping to an already great day.
When you started sauteing the spiced up pears and then did the egg and milk mixture I thought it was going to be a Frittata or an open face omelette. Didn't see the Dutch Baby coming at all. I need to rise up to a new level of cooking. Thanks for sharing.
This is a superb video! I have been watching your videos for awhile, and I think they are getting better and better. I hope you keep creating new content (at your comfortable pace) for many, many years to come. Best wishes to you always!
👍👍👍.
Very nice footage! Big like 👍 from me!!! I also love hiking, camping, fishing/hunting and make some videos to. Keep on!!!
Looks like a great place to take a break off trails..
..Are you still Cali. resident ?? thought you were married,, does hubby hike /travel with you ?? Have you gone into the road lifestyle as Catherine ??..
Certainly doing yourself well,, you look great and healthy..hope that is the case..
..With all the fires and natural devastation lately it's hard to stay focused on the positive aspects of being outdoors in the west…please be careful..
….. Stay Safe and God Bless …..
Thank you so much for the map info. That’s exactly what I needed to know. I just bought my “car home” and a foldable mattress. I want to get out there and you’ve inspired me to the point of action. I don’t want to say I’m a copy cat…but I do just agree with a lot of your decisions.
New sub here! I appreciate you sharing! Which laptop do you use? Thank you for sharing! 👍🙏😘🐾🐾
