I've Got Anxiety and Stress, So It's Time To Leave

I’ve had a lot of anxiety lately. The anxiety has been affecting my sleep. I also have some reasons to be stressed. Probably like everyone else, I’ve been a little worry about finances. I’ve also had an intermittent problem with my solar charge controller. Put all of that together and I realized I need to take some action. So I’ve left the beautiful town of Ferndale. And I’m off wandering in search of a town that I not only feel comfortable being in, but hopefully can provide some work.
After a short stop visiting with a friend in the Redwoods in Arcata, I drove north to Mckinleyville. Not sure if this is the town I’m searching for. But I had a very nice relaxing hike at Hiller Park near the Mad River. So far, this feels like I’m heading in the right direction.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

The problem with that coconut oil is that there could be addivtives like mineral oil whch could interfere. I used to use coconut hair oil and it stained by pillowcases (and pillows, too) pretty bad. Eventually I stopped using oil, and the natural oils in the scalp keeps the hair well, provided it is short and clean..
BTW too much coffee could give you an 'edge' and make one feel jittery. Meditation should help, and it works.
MaryAnnHerndon8276 in her post recommended you read some bedsde story. I think you should. You have a very quiet voice. It is a GREAT idea. Do try with an episode. Start reading some short stories or some excerpt from some book, a philosophical book, or perhaps from the works of John Steinbeck (your voice, somehow reminds me of him, for some unknown reason).
As a coffee drinker I really like your coffee updates. The people who don't like it should just skip ahead or...mind their own business. Thanks for the for the video, they are always entertaining.
Exactly right!
Hello
Its a good point however you tube don't see things that way any comments are a good response for them to promote the Chanel which creates new followers in time
I hope everyone is having a good day

You only live once. You’re entitled to a few joys in life….especially, coffee!
As we get older we change our ways we like more peaceful places
I'm a bit of an introvert and just realized a few yrs go. The panic attack was at work and I was just working for a week on a shift that was different then mine. As a result there were a lot of people i didn't know around me, too close and for just a little too long. It hit me like cold sweats, increased short breaths, a bit of nausea....it was weird.
That's awful. I can relate
I can relate!
I can relate!
Nice comfortable vlog, Scott. I just left Mendocino this morning. I absolutely loved it! The scenery was spectacular! I couldn't get over that
Been there, didn't like it either! Sorry you all have had to experience that.
Telling someone to mind their own business isn’t being rude….they should mind their business!
Hahaha
I completely agree here!
The Bob Ross of van life!!!!
Sounds like you watched all of this vlog. Thanks for doing that.
Drink as much coffee as you want. It’s one of life’s awesome pleasures! Thanks for all the great videos. 🙏
Watching you helped me fall back in love with coffee! I don't drink alcohol or smoke but I do love all types of coffee!! I love it when you make it!
Thanks LJ!
❤💁♀️I love coffee too and your comment ☕️
We all have been having anxiety the last 2 years. Take care Scott.
You mean 6.
@@monkeysuncle2816 Well.........yeah.
Still catching up. Your humor is EVERYTHING. I love how well you know yourself & adjust accordingly. Safe travels.
Thanks Sukesa
👋 Loren,
You're a good hearted man. Thanks for helping our Emi out....
Love your Channel 😊
Bye-bye 👋
Speaking of anxiety. I spent New years eve 2006 in the hospital, for 8 hours, hooked up to an EKG thinking I was having a heart attack. Long story short...I was having an anxiety attack.
Of course meditation is helpful for anxiety and so are long walks, which it seems like you do. I'm glad that your taking care of yourself. Thanks for sharing.
I hope that's all behind you
@@StaticCamperVan Yes it is. Thanks.
I enjoy the longer vids of your day Scott ✌️
Silent Running, wow, i'd forgotten about that movie. But then again, I cut out apocalyptic movies during the pandemic for mental health purposes :) But now...
Thank you Scott for another wonderfully long episode. I have the impression although its about anxiety and stress you still appear to be pretty relaxed and joking. Cool, great to have the chance to follow you along on a daily diary style episode. Thanks for sharing, appreciated!
Moving to McKinleyville was definitely a good decision. I'm happy to be able to move around as I need.
Hope you will feel better asap Scott.
🙏
Great video Scott I really enjoyed. I get really bad anxiety at times I do what you do go for walks etc. what really works for me is listening to you and great cup of coffee 😀 thank for doing what you do Scott 😀
I appreciate you watching, Lee
@@StaticCamperVan thanks Scott
Thanks for the honesty about being a bit anxious. You have to feel comfortable while you are vulnerable while sleeping.
The wifi password story was too funny.
It’s not a normal feeling for me. Part of me wants to head back to Mendocino where I slept like a log.
Hey, Thanks for the help my friend
Hair cut looks nice. Please take care. Some good sleep will help you and lower stress. Work will come.
I hear and empathize with you, I get anxiety, sometimes things are really dark, it normally works it's self out.
Coffee is very healthy for you! There is no reason to cut back, there are so many studies proving that coffee is great for you heath in so many ways. Never cut down on coffee it is so healthy!
Hello Stump, you harbor a memory of former greatness.
Trees are our friends 🌲 🌳 and yes we feel energy and we need to listen
I know I try not too spend too much but it never wks out. I go in for one thing n winde up spending more.😮
Your voice is so calming. I love listening to you and watching your videos plus your coffee info🥰
Thank you so much
I felt so claustrophobic in the redwood forest I had to leave.
Great job Scott. You had a nice adventurous day it seems and you do exactly what you want. I sure hope your solar problem gets resolved soon as well as finding work. Take care and thank you for taking your time out to vlog. 😎
Wow your making me hungry, Good delicious dinner 😋👍🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄💫🌞
I switched to decaf recently, coffee was triggering most of my anxiety 🙂
Hope that works for you ☕
Me too. Love the taste not the anxiety.
Trust me, Scotty is Yoda when it comes to mobility. Love your vibe man. Keep drinking the Java.
Yes, Scotty Kilmer knows his stuff. I’m not sure why you’re mentioning him though
Yes tortilla are better price,last longer& fill you up 😉👍🌞
Thanks!
Aww, Thank you!
@@StaticCamperVan for the charge controller fund.
@@nomoremeetings1183 oh ok. Thanks. But you’re already helping! I appreciate you
It’s up to you how many cups of coffee you have it’s got nothing to do with any one else xo
Really enjoyed this one🎉
Try pure Jojoba oil its great it absorbs. You can also add it to your lotion. Also good for dry hair. Google it for the information
🌞Hi Scott! If you use a dropof cocoa nut oil & a little shampoo it makes your hair healthy and shine,also its good for skin with body wash! As for your pillow cases ,it washes out in wash ,no problem!👍🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄💫🌞
Wow that Salmon salad looks delicious 😋❤
Wow love those organic veggies and fruits!👍🌞💫
I so enjoy your channel. I hope the anxiety diminished and you are doing well. 😀
We’re grown men and can consume as much coffee, wine, pizza etc as we want 😋 saying that though I like to mix my coffee consumption with Japanese matcha tea which keeps me buzzing along nicely throughout the day. Really enjoy seeing the different meals you make. The dinner you made with the ground beef looked tasty. Have a great day 👍🏻
I have friends who are trees, too. 😊🌳🌲
You’re a good soul Mate. God bless you.
This looks like a lovely spot. It's good that you mind your health with your meals, exercise & keeping a good frame of mind.
I'm lucky to be able to do these things now
@@StaticCamperVan Yes, you are. And you deserve it.
I've been living with, and navigating Anxiety for a significant portion of my life, so I totally know how you feel.
So sorry to hear that. This was a very very new experience for me. Happy to be over it so quickly.
@@StaticCamperVan I'm glad you got past it Scott, and I hope it doesn't return!
Scott I don't think you drink to much Coffee!🌞👍 Drs. Say 3&4 6 oz cups a Day is good,also you have half,half good fats! Coffee is a natural remedy for allergies,as long as its light roast😉👍🌞
Another enjoyable video. You definitely have a talent for making random , everyday tasks fun to watch. Keep up the good vids, and I hope you find an area better for sleeping. Cheers !!!
A couple of years ago I spent three nights parked at the Arcata sports complex. The place was closed because of the pandemic. Other vehicle dwellers were overnighting there, too. Some of them seemed like long-termers. It was quiet enough for me. One day a woman came around offering staple foods and snacks (to which I said thanks, but I was well supplied), so I think the community was not only tolerant of vehicle dwellwers but also willing to assist. It's a college town so perhaps a little more progressive than some places. And there's a shop that has really good bagels. A few years before I spent a couple of nights at the Samoa Boat Ramp and it was quiet enough, but when I returned it was packed for the weekend. That's how I ended up at the community center.
It looks so nice there. I wish I could live in a place like that because I have bad anxiety I can’t be around too many people n traffic here in Dallas it’s bad in traffic.
The PNW is very beautiful but you can't beat Vancouver Island! JS...🥰🇨🇦
💖 I'm in Vanc. Vanc & Iale is pretty much Pacific SOUTH West. cuz of the border😁 I often use the weather reports from Seattle, and even Portland. We're all in that same Pacific Rainforest region. I sometimes try to move to the East Coast but the PNW really gets into your bones ♥
Beautiful in summer maybe. Stay a whole winter.
Hey Scott hopefully your money stress is resolved soon. The purple stuff has mostly good reviews. It’s called Royal Purple fuel max injection…
I've read good reviews. But I was hoping to hear some feedback from real people. Maybe I need to trust the Internet more! Haha.
Wish you could read a bedtime story, your voice is so calming
This probably wasn’t what you had in mind but it is the closest video I have to reading a story: czcams.com/video/Q_Kmn4xxDPg/video.html
Now that's a VERY good idea. A VERY VERY Good idea.
@Static Campervan: Scott, you could have one episode where you could read some simple short story, even a selection from the works of John Steinbeck (your voice reminds me of his writing, somehow)
love from Cochin, in Southern India.
Great video Scott. I can relate to the anxiety issue. I agree about Scotty Kilmer too! Take care of yourself. Wishing you the best. From Dublin Ireland ☘️.
you're doing good Scott. that certainly looked a great meal to cheer the cockles of your heart! hope some work comes along soon to tide you over
Most beautiful place, Northern Michigan
I just love that area! Anxiety is real, I have such a hard time. I do best alone in a forest lol. Your voice is very calming, thanks for your videos
I just found your channel recently and luv your coffee segments alot. Thank you for your relaxing videos. Your new big fan😊😊😊😊
Thanks Susie
I know these are essentially "monologues" - but they're so good I really feel like it's been a visit. Thanks!
Thanks Otter!
Oh and that dinner you’re having delicious
I just wanted to say I think you're such a lovely human.
Thank you
Oh I forgot to say. Thank you for the great videos.
Thanks Glenn
That natural food store you went to makes the best sandwiches.
They looked good. But the prices did not. Haha. But good to know. It was hard to pass by the coffee bar. But I held strong.
Love the channel Scott, keep up the great work with your positive videos. What i use to clean out my injectors is the Lucas gas treatment. I try to add it to the Jeep once a month to clean everything out and I have had no complaints using this stuff.
My boyfriend is an auto mechanic and he recommends to just use mid- grade or premium-grade gas once a month or so and skip the cleaner or additives. If they start putting more ethanol into the gas like they are talking about then we all might have to start using additives. If you can drink lots of coffee and still feel good then go for it! 🙃
Good info
Scotty Kilmer being “high strung” is an understatement. He has a great channel but yeah he can make coffee nervous
So much admire these lovely scenery trails and then to complete the evening a dinner marvelous
🙋♀️☕🌲
Hope you feel better soon!
I love your lifestyle 🥰🌿💖
Beautiful area !!!
Your video's r so relaxing. 🤗
Great video! Thank you! ☕

4:12 What a beautiful park.
You're a sweetheart😘
I’m with ya Scott. John from Pennsylvania.

Great video
I really look forward to watching your vids. .I' am doing exactly the same as you are small van not much money .and I'm fulltime like you.but I'm in the UK. Wish I was in America though. Looking forward to seeing your next vid. Stay safe.
I really enjoyed watching your contents it's so soothing i can see you are a perfect gentleman.
Thanks, it was nice spending the day with you my friend.
Wow this guy is awesome
I have always used sea foam injector cleaner
I love coffee. ...drink all the coffee you like that's one reason I love your channel. ...besides the places you go your cooking and coffee drinking thanks for all the enjoyable viedos.
Enjoyed the vid. Enjoy as many cups of ☕as you like ☺
11:26 What a coincidence, I'm eating those chips as I am watching this video. They are available here in Québec and I just love them.
Sometimes is hard to understand and l know sounds crazy ,it also happens to me in the mountains (besides big cities) ., when l take off to relax camping or bondocking l prefer open areas that is deserts valleys, plain deserts dry lakebeds etc. (Closer to higher altitude where is cooler in summer etc.) seems to be more freeing . I noticed when l go to forests as beautiful they are even with water and greenery l get stressed “is weird he?” Hope you find your way in this journey take care.
Coffee with vanilla sugar or almond sirop has a very good taste.
Thanks for sharing. Watching from the tropical rainforest of Suriname 🇸🇷
Another video i really enjoyed so informative and natural
Regards
Haley
I just started watching ( the car care nut ) he seems pretty knowledgeable about vehicles and said how important oil changes are
Oil changes are definitely key
Enjoy your journey!!!👠🚌👠
✌🏻
You're ok!
Thanks for all you do. Hopefully things will start getting better. What kind of work do you do?
PNW looks like New Zealand.
Scott, have you ever watched the Netflix movie “Murder Mountain” ?
It’s very entertaining and the first thing I always think about when someone mentions Humboldt County. Stay strong and prosper 🤓💕
No, I don't have Netflix. I loathe anything to do with Hollywood
When I have limited room in my freezer, I will open the frozen veggies, burgers etc, and portion them into smaller zip lock bags. I can then fit them in the smaller spots and utilize the space more efficiently.
I'm a coffee drinker also. Our treat. 😊
Coffee is good for you! 🍮👍
thank for the tour throug the trail. Sorry it has to be this way.
Hey Mark. The second half of this video is very important. It sounds like you might not have watched the whole thing
