Living in a Prius: CAME WITHIN 3 FEET OF MY LIFE!!!! - solo female full time car camper

How's it going everybody? I'm Nikki Delventhal and this is my dog Camper Delventhal. We live in a 2006 Toyota Prius and we're here to take you along on the wild ride. Found you. So fasten up your seat belts and let's have some fun. Don't forget if you like what you see, like, subscribe, comment, share with your friends and turn on notifications. Camper and I would be so thankful. Last week's adventures in La Hotel Prius took us all over South Dakota but we were ready to keep heading west in search of bigger mountains and to eventually meet up with our best friends and Camper's future wife. But first a little adventure through Wyoming. You ever walk out of a truck stop just saying hi to everybody like they're your neighbors for 10 years? No? Just me? Okay. Home sweet home. We're in Wyoming baby. Oh my god this is gonna be so fun. We of course started the day right with some coffee then hit the open road. After a few hours we made our first pit stop. We're gonna get out and stretch the legs. Oh tight turn. Maybe a little too tight. Wow! Camper check this out. This landscape is like no other. That was a cool pit stop huh? As we continued west the scenery just kept getting more and more beautiful and we were sure to take full advantage of it stopping at every point we put along the way to just soak it all in. This was also a great time for Camper to take a nap. Oh to be camper. What a good boy. Although the drive starts wide and open we knew we were getting west as the colors of the nature changed around every turn. We quite literally enjoyed the nature show fully equipped with popcorn. Eventually getting to our first destination. One of my favorite mountain ranges. Although Grand Teton National Park is not dog friendly we were still sure to take advantage of the gorgeous views from the road. They never disappoint. If you do not have a dog or have a sitter for the time being I do recommend checking out Grand Teton National Park along with Yellowstone right above it. The scenery is beautiful and the hikes are amazing. But don't worry if you have a dog the things surrounding the National Park are just as beautiful and we're gonna take you on one of those adventures. But first bear spray. Look what we got. We're gonna be safe now. As last time I was here I came across eight different bears in a 48 hour period. It's on the trail crossing means a mom's close by. Okay now off to our dog friendly adventure and place to sleep for the night. There were some really amazing spots to sleep but we would need a 4x4 to get down to the river so I think we're just gonna park at the trailhead tonight. I'd say this is still pretty amazing. My dad's still hiking you can tell because he definitely doesn't live in it because all the seats are there and there's nothing in there. I like that spot. All right that's where we're sleeping tonight. So we had some dinner and got ready for bed. The next morning we decided to work a little bit and see if anyone would show up at the trailhead so we had safety in numbers. Camper did we make friends for our hike? So while we were getting ready this morning at the trailhead we made a friend. Hi Alyssa. So now we're hiking together. We made our way along the trails spending the time swapping stories, jumping in the river. That's the good stuff huh? This is his favorite thing. Admiring the amazing views. This is beautiful. Stopping to relax. We're having a blast aren't we? Drink water and even play in the snow. What is this stuff? Are you eating it? That's the good stuff. All right that's where we're going. A couple more miles in and we made it to our first stop. This amazing waterfall followed by a steep climb to our final destination. This is crazy huh? This mysterious cave. Wow. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, no. Camper, Camper. Camper just decided he would climb this literal wall. How the heck did he do that? I gotta get him. So this is what happens when you have a mountain dog. How am I gonna get you back down? No you stay. I guess we might as well check out the view while we're up here. How are you gonna get your back down huh? I'm crazy. He wanted to check out the cave so bad. The cave of one does. Camper and I made it back down from the cave safe and sound. Or so we thought. Watch out for rocks. Creek, creek. We need to play that again. What's up there? I wonder. Wow. Whoa. That is wild. On that note we decided to head back down to the cars. Look at that. We made it. Bye guys see you later. All right back on the road. Okay so we're continuing west but priority is wi-fi. Uh and a shower and a place to sleep. I'm tired. It's very hard to find a good wi-fi living on the road. There's three options we can try right now. McDonald's, got a Flying J and Outlaws. I think first we'll take a shower. Yes. I've been looking forward to this all day. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. That is worth it every time. I feel like a new woman in a 2006 Prius. With work and wi-fi on the priority list we started uploading a video and got some work done before dinner. All my food is on my dash right now. This is how I make my food in my kitchen. My fridge is over here. I had to to get to it. Life is good. You know we could have not been here. We could have not been here if that rock was three feet closer. You gotta live like you're gonna die tomorrow. You gotta do what you want. Whatever that means for you. For us that means living out of a car roaming the country eating cheese wraps and salads. We kept on working till the sun went down and then we came across a little issue. Okay so both McDonald's and Love's wi-fi haven't budged in two hours. Still at zero percent so we are trying somewhere else. From there we went to three more places to find public wi-fi. The final verdict was we found no wi-fi so we're Who's my favorite boy? I just love to eat my coffee cup huh? Oh you guys look at my new window covers. They're super thin fabric and I put magnets on the sides so they could just stay up on the inside between the screens. It's been working out really well. My old ones are still back here though because they work best there. I love my old ones but these take up less room and let's be real the Reflectix really doesn't do that much insulation for a car. Possibly for another rig though it would be great. I'm gonna start getting us ready for the day. I'm sounding old lady making all these grunts and moans. Gotta do that one carefully all this stuff's about to fall out. Oh god. We ate, cleaned up, we're gonna make sure you don't have those dirty paws, and grabbed some coffee. All right the hunt for wi-fi continues but first we must change. I like wearing pajamas all day but apparently that's not acceptable and then people think you're actually homeless which we're not because this is my choice. I think we're just gonna go to a hotel and ask them if we could pay for the wi-fi because that's probably our best bet right now. This is like striking. Those two hours were a blast and Camper was a hit with the hotel staff. All right Camper what do you think straight to the mountains or a little detour for a really cool waterfall? Let's do both. All right so we just left Idaho Falls we just stopped at this rest stop. Something that's really cool is as you're driving you see a ton of lava rock so at this rest stop there's actually a walk around where the lava flow is. It's really awesome so we're gonna check that out on our way to Shoshone Falls. Wow. We continued our drive and noticed this beautiful park so we had to stop. All right so we're just gonna take a little pit stop here at this beautiful state park. We're just gonna have some lunch and I'm gonna utilize the sun right now to charge up my Jackery portable power station because right now during this drive the car is charging up my battery for the refrigerator. Got two batteries. I love my Jackery portable power station. It is absolutely essential for me living out of a car but also being able to work and have backup for the fridge when we're off grid. You know I'm using it for my phone, my computer, my smoothie maker, my coffee, but also because of things like this. While I'm making lunch I could just pull out these solar panels. They go right under my mattress. They take up little to no room and it's just so convenient to be able to have power even when you're off grid and not have to rely on a wall plug or the car when I'm driving so love that. If you would like to purchase one for yourself my link is in the description. While we charged up we took a little hike and soaked in all the views. That was amazing. All right camper you ready to move on? Waterfall time. Current water level is dry. Interesting. So Idaho Power had to shut the dam to do maintenance? Yeah so they turned it off completely. That's crazy. But in a couple weeks it'll be flowing again. Oh yeah. How high do you think it'll be? Probably back to the 500. I mean yeah. Well thank you for the information. No problem. You're amazing. Have a good one. Two weeks too soon. I'm gonna have to carry you for these huh? Even though the water levels are low this is still a beautiful stop for your trip. But just in case you're wondering this is what it would look like at normal water levels. From there we got a little workout in with the view. Okay. Explored around the park and all the beautiful views. Enjoyed each other's company. Got some yoga in and got ready to hit the road. You know despite the lack of water that was pretty amazing. All right so now we're just gonna head back to the car find a place to sleep for the night and get ready to hit the road. We have a big surprise for you guys tomorrow. We are meeting up with my best friend and camper's girlfriend.

That looks like a lot of fun to do. Dried up. Oh I almost made a joke I shouldn't be making on YouTube. Moving on.
