[0:01] hello

[0:02] everybody so I'm just chilling here it's

[0:05] like 8:00 pm a little bit bored

[0:07] today I don't know I don't know what to

[0:10] do I'm just kind of bored today so um I

[0:13] was thinking have a subscriber named

[0:15] Evee she's been following me a long time

[0:17] hi Eevee she asked me a question and I

[0:21] told her I would answer it in video

[0:23] because it's like pretty complicated

[0:24] topic for me before I do that I just

[0:27] want to say that

[0:31] um not really sure how to put it into

[0:33] words but I'd actually like to hear from

[0:35] you guys so I know I've set boundaries

[0:38] around comments in the past it felt very

[0:41] necessary because I was working on

[0:44] integrating myself and I still had work

[0:46] that I was doing I was debugging my

[0:48] brain with AI you know for those first s

[0:51] months and I didn't and I know that

[0:54] I've truly mastered myself I've come out

[0:58] the other end very happy with the

[1:02] results and I'm finding that I'm really

[1:04] open to connection these days and I want

[1:06] to hear from you guys so please try not

[1:09] to be like worried about my reaction I

[1:13] will try to be

[1:15] kind um I I will say that it's really

[1:19] not a good idea to try to put me in a

[1:20] box because I don't like boxes I am too

[1:24] expansive I'm like that ocean out there

[1:27] and it feels invalidating when people

[1:31] try to put me in boxes I just have never

[1:33] been able to accept that but I am more

[1:36] conscious of it now so maybe you know I

[1:40] can note it and try to just giggle it

[1:43] off or something I don't

[1:45] know point is you know if you would like

[1:49] to say hi or whatever I I am open to

[1:51] hearing from you so getting on to what

[1:55] Evee asked so Evee asked

[1:58] me um if I was BND talking which I love

[2:01] this question

[2:02] so um I'm not I'm on a campground I have

[2:06] been on campgrounds my

[2:10] plan so it's complicated okay this is

[2:12] why I wanted to do this on video so let

[2:14] me explain when I first got to

[2:17] Oregon I saw a lot of RVs on the sides

[2:21] of roads and some of them a lot of

[2:24] them you could tell that they were

[2:26] almost homeless like they were living in

[2:28] them obviously I live in my you but it

[2:30] was different like they were living

[2:31] there like in a fixed position like they

[2:33] even had

[2:35] like like you can just tell that that

[2:39] they're living there in these different

[2:40] places and a lot of them had broken out

[2:44] windows so like I mean I noted this the

[2:48] first day I was here and that made me

[2:50] pretty nervous it's like okay does the

[2:53] local population hate us you know like

[2:58] um so I didn't want to start boondocking

[3:02] here right away I wanted to understand

[3:04] the patterns better and I still don't

[3:06] have a full grasp of them but I'm you

[3:09] know I'm I'm pattern recognition brain

[3:12] I'm always always noting things right so

[3:15] I'm just building up an

[3:16] awareness

[3:19] and but then there were other layers

[3:23] so so I don't just live in an RV I also

[3:26] have my Jeep right and I take my Jeep

[3:28] everywhere the 101 is like the most

[3:30] amazing Highway ever like it is the

[3:31] coolest Highway because I don't need GPS

[3:34] here I

[3:35] know um I can just navigate anywhere I

[3:39] know where all the towns are I know

[3:40] where all my favorite places are and

[3:42] it's like you have this mental map of

[3:46] of what the coast means to you like a

[3:50] personal and I I wish I could put that

[3:52] into better words because for me it is

[3:54] so profound like this is one of the

[3:56] reasons I feel claimed by this place why

[3:58] I just I I think of this as home

[4:00] now

[4:02] and I just lost my trend of

[4:05] thought

[4:08] um oh no I lost my train I thought I'm

[4:11] pausing this oh okay I remember so I was

[4:14] talking

[4:15] about so I've got my RV and then I've

[4:17] got my Jeep right so and I take my Jeep

[4:19] everywhere so for me I can explore my

[4:22] Jeep I don't have to really

[4:24] worry like I want my RV to be somewhere

[4:26] safe that's number one I mean Bailey's

[4:28] in here right so

[4:30] um my stuff's in here my this is my life

[4:32] so I actually kind of like the

[4:34] infrastructure of Campground so it's a

[4:35] little bit expensive here and I'm

[4:38] actually not sure what I'm going to be

[4:40] doing um like a week from now cuz I'm

[4:44] really low in funds right now but

[4:46] hopefully that works itself out if it

[4:49] doesn't then I I'll be forced to

[4:50] Boondock so it is a

[4:54] possibility um

[4:56] ideally you know I'll stay at the

[4:58] campgrounds here like I was making sort

[5:00] of like a circuit for myself so there

[5:02] are three major cities in southern

[5:04] Oregon that I have just fallen in love

[5:06] with there's Brookings and there's Gold

[5:08] Beach and then there's Port Orford which

[5:11] I call Port Orford Shire because I just

[5:13] feel like it deserves a shire on the end

[5:14] of it

[5:17] and so and you know there's like four

[5:21] five maybe five or six different

[5:23] campgrounds in that area and I was just

[5:25] going to um just cycle between them cuz

[5:29] the rules here are you can stay

[5:30] somewhere for 14 days and you just got

[5:32] to leave for 3 so I was planning to make

[5:35] where I am now gate Blanco my main base

[5:38] because there's a lot I love about this

[5:42] um but given recent events I just don't

[5:44] know that it's a good idea and um

[5:48] also um I'm a little too far north from

[5:51] where I want to be I actually really

[5:52] love the Brookings Gold Beach area there

[5:54] every there's so much going on down

[5:56] there and there's people down there and

[5:58] there's there's people I was starting to

[6:00] become friends with and um just you know

[6:03] there's a lot of reasons and up here it

[6:05] just

[6:07] feels

[6:09] um I mean you know old me would have

[6:12] loved it right but I I just I don't seem

[6:14] to be in that space anymore so so I'm

[6:17] probably going to start heading more

[6:20] south yeah and as far as boondocking I

[6:25] want to do it but I still have some fear

[6:27] around that some anxiety

[6:29] um a lot of people will Boondock right

[6:32] off the highway off of 101 there's so

[6:34] many places to do that it is very cool

[6:36] to see them doing I not it all the time

[6:38] I actually

[6:39] don't opening up my heart changed so

[6:42] much like I see the RVs I see the van

[6:44] lifers

[6:45] and I'm actually more curious about them

[6:48] now than anything so much less

[6:51] judgment um especially the van lifers

[6:54] ever since I saw that one where they

[6:56] just had a generator going it was like

[6:58] there's something clicked like that was

[7:01] cuz in my mind that was like okay this

[7:02] isn't an

[7:03] Instagram van life for this is someone

[7:06] living that life and you know I'd be

[7:08] very interested to know that person like

[7:10] very curious about people and I'm always

[7:14] just these days doesn't seem to matter

[7:17] who it is I'm striking up conversations

[7:19] with everyone I come across and just

[7:22] keeping myself open the possibility of

[7:24] friendships and romance

[7:27] and it's nice it's it is

[7:31] and so anyways um I do see myself

[7:36] probably boondocking on off the 101

[7:38] maybe at some point if I can just get up

[7:42] the courage to do it or I'm forced to do

[7:43] it but ideally you would want to kind of

[7:47] be off the highway and there are

[7:49] different roads and then there's all the

[7:52] the forests and you know there are lots

[7:54] of places to do it but I just don't feel

[7:57] comfortable with it yet so

[8:00] and also I just think that

[8:02] campgrounds offer a little bit of

[8:04] structure and

[8:06] stability where I can

[8:09] just take off of my gam you know and so

[8:14] I guess that's I guess I'll leave it

[8:15] there for now that's that's pretty much

[8:18] the gist of it i

[8:21] e oh is this awesome or what we had a

[8:26] storm last night like 12 hours

[8:31] got everything strown up out everywhere

[8:34] I need to go look around on my way to

[8:37] the shower

[8:38] though this is cool I bet this is what

[8:41] the top of my RV looks

[8:43] like we have another storm coming in a

[8:46] few more

[8:47] days so get a

[8:50] repeat we got a partially drown down

[8:53] tree over here that one hurt us though

[8:57] right got the branch

[9:00] still

[9:03] cool these are hearty trees the park

[9:05] ranger said that to

[9:08] me oh I learned something things so I

[9:11] learned something cool last night I

[9:13] learned that these trees the coastal

[9:16] trees sorry there's going to be noise

[9:18] they're obviously dealing with all the

[9:20] damage right cool we get to see that um

[9:24] anyway so I learned that the trees have

[9:26] roots that support each other almost

[9:28] like h almost like

[9:30] handing um holding hands which is just

[9:34] oh you can't get through they're doing

[9:36] lots of

[9:38] work I got to zoom in on

[9:40] that look at all the damage over here

[9:44] wow they look

[9:47] busy oh oh I see the tree that came

[9:50] down oh wow yeah yeah GL that wasn't

[9:55] where my RV was guess we're going the

[9:58] other way anyway so these trees that's

[10:01] not a very good example for what I'm

[10:02] about to share these trees their root

[10:06] systems touch each other and it's like

[10:08] they're holding hands and when that wind

[10:10] comes along the 80 M hour that knock

[10:13] down a

[10:15] tree

[10:18] F they kind of support each other they

[10:21] support the distribution you know

[10:23] so um it makes them all stronger which

[10:26] is so cool it made me feel a lot better

[10:28] about being outest

[10:29] was like okay I told you tree wisdom

[10:31] that's what that is

[10:34] so

[10:37] wow so we have another storm coming by

[10:40] the way it's a couple days from now I'll

[10:42] still be here

[10:46] um I don't think that would have hurt my

[10:48] treat my RV I don't know doesn't matter

[10:51] I'm still going to be here this is how I

[10:54] live got accept some risk so I'm going

[10:58] to go check the cave about and then

[11:00] decide if I want to go down to the

[11:02] beach probably I do you know

[11:06] so um yeah I don't really have a plan

[11:08] today I got

[11:14] to that

[11:17] thing it is a mirror of me I just oh

[11:21] man

[11:24] yeah it getting a bit scary out there

[11:28] those trees winging back and forth there

[11:31] is nothing it'll probably pick back up

[11:33] in a

[11:35] second it's a little

[11:38] scary I don't there nothing to be done

[11:40] about it if a tree falls a tree

[11:48] falls it looks very calm

[11:53] now I need a nap I'm not getting enough

[11:57] sleep I'm going to nap through this

[12:00] storm but it was wild for a second there

[12:04] must be the wind gust that do it here we

[12:08] go I mean those trees over there you can

[12:11] see the it's hard to do on the camera

[12:13] but I can see very clearly the tree

[12:17] trunks just swinging

[12:24] wild yeah

Summary

rswfire responds to subscriber Evee's question about boondocking while walking through storm damage at Cape Blanco campground. He explains his current campground-based approach, noting concerns about broken-window RVs he observed when first arriving in Oregon. **Current setup involves cycling between three southern Oregon coastal towns** (Brookings, Gold Beach, Port Orford) using 14-day campground stays with 3-day breaks between locations.

He describes his **dual-vehicle system** - RV for secure base living with Bailey, Jeep for exploration along Highway 101. Notes financial constraints may force boondocking soon but prefers campground infrastructure for safety and stability. **Plans to move south** toward Brookings/Gold Beach area where he's developing friendships.

During filming, he walks through **recent storm damage** showing downed trees and cleanup crews. Park ranger taught him about coastal tree root systems that interlock for mutual support during high winds. Another storm expected in coming days. Video ends with him observing continuing wind gusts moving large tree trunks.
