I Survived 100 Hours Living Alone (off-grid RV camping)
I'm going to be spending the next 100 hours completely off the grid unplugged with no internet no Wi-Fi and I'm going to be all alone with only $100 to spend on food and supplies you might be asking me why and I have a perfectly good reason well recently I've been struggling with depression and by recently I mean probably my whole life but more recently it's been really rough I realized a lot of what was causing this had to do with social media and the internet the impact of constant connect it has taken a huge toll on my mental health which is why for this video I've partnered with better help thank you to betterhelp for sponsoring this video and supporting this discussion before I started therapy my days were often clouded with overwhelming stress anxiety and low self-esteem it led to a state of paralysis I remember one particular day when I felt so paralyzed by my thoughts and fears that even simple tasks like getting out of bed felt like mountains this not only affected my well-being but also strained my relationships with friends co-workers and my business it was after spending a lot of time alone and having challenging conversations with close friends and family that I realized that I needed professional help since joining therapy my life has seen profound improvements it's not that it really gets rid of your problems but it at least gives you the tools that you

wild and let's keep the conversation about Mental Health Health going it's okay to seek help when you need it okay guys if I can survive this full 100 hours I will definitely come out a better person more connected to Nature and if I don't survive this challenge then I don't know you guys might never see me again W that's kind of dark I'm kidding you guys will see me again you know what the fact that you're actually watching this video right now the lights just went out there we go the fact that you guys are watching this video right now means I surv vied and uploaded it to YouTube so you will see me again it's like 7:00 now the Sun is setting so quick these days let get this challenge started um I'm not going to need this since we only have $100 for budgeting we need to be smart with our purchases so I decided to go to Walmart with my $100 and see what all I could get remember I'm going to need enough food and supplies to last me for the next 4 4 days in order for me to complete this challenge I decided to get some snacks some camping food camping gear definitely some stuff for s'mores and some candy all in all the total came out to be $86 I have actually never done anything like this before so I have no idea if I actually got enough food for myself for the next 4 days but the good news is we stayed under budget welcome to my home I'm honestly I think more scared of getting really bored than I am of like running out of food and supplies this is where I'm going to be sleeping this is where I'm going to be eating and living this is the bathroom and the good news is that we do have enough water I think to last us we have 2/3 tank of fresh water it is also extremely hot in here I don't think oh what the I I did not think this was going to work but I guess it does it's like 85° in here wao it actually works we do have electricity clearly I mean we're basically living large in here honestly the biggest thing that we're going to have to fight is um boredom but at least I have you guys to talk to technically we do have a TV in here but I don't have any Wi-Fi out here so it is dinner time so we're going to go ahead and make some dinner and put away all the food I got for this challenge I mean we got options it's night one so we have all the options for tonight I think I'm going to keep it simple though and go with like a sandwich or some cup noodles we got some stir fry for dinner I've never had this flavor wo very interesting it's like so quiet honestly that was so tasty wow this is so peaceful okay let's put together this headlamp so we can go outside and do some outdoor activities whoo wo wo it's so bright wow next on our agenda s'mores we got to collect some firewood and start a fire outside so that we can enjoy nature I'm not really sure if it really makes sense to like make a fire in the rain but I do really want moreor so we might just go back inside and use the microwave but maybe we'll go for a nature walk because I have this headlamp I want to use look just from this tiny little headlamp I'm a little scared I'm going to go back inside I just it's raining out there what do I do I should take a shower hour okay first off I don't know why I'm acting like we have unlimited water cuz I just remembered that I don't and second I don't think we have any hot water so I'm going to have to Brave the [Music] cold so cold we did it I'm clean that was cold we made it through the night we are now 15 hours into the challenge which means we got 85 hours left to go what did people do before technology what do people do without phones before phones and laptops I guess they read and they wrote like it's just weird to think I have the whole day and I'm all by myself but first breakfast that was dramatic we don't have any coffee what are we going to do we'll be okay I think watch this [Applause] guys are you kidding me your girl is shut breakfast is served we got bacon and eggs and I'll probably eat a piece of toast with it except I'm too lazy to toast it so we're just going to grab the end piece over here one thing about me is I love my bacon crispy and I kind of a little bit burned it that's how much I like the crisp M it feels so weird being [Music] unplugged I basically clean the floors and everything in here and just out of pure boredom so I think I'm going to finally get changed and go outside Welcome To Nature [ __ ] fresh air it is so nice to breathe in fresh air I will say that day one of being digitally unplugged I feel like I really am just so disconnected I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing ah SPID I feel very peaceful which is nice uh I just wonder like if anybody's texting me or like looking for me no I told all my close friends and family that I am going to be digitally unplugged so I'm also like not really technically in like a remote place so I'm not in any danger whoa look it looks like a heart kind of from a certain angle honestly the biggest thing I'm fighting right now is boredom I am very bored I realized like most of my day consists of me on my phone somewhat connected listening to a podcast listening to music watching TV so it is weird to not have those Outlets I feel like I'm just walking to pass the time look at these mushrooms wo this one's so red oh my gosh it's being eaten by a tiny snail do you guys see that oh my gosh that is the teeniest cutest little snail in the whole wide world to give you a little bit of scale that's my finger that's the snail there's so many like Little Critters running around here it's crazy I guess nature is my entertainment right now I really am worried cuz I have no clue what I'm going to do all day I have no idea where I am but this does not look familiar to me so I'm going to go back from where I came from whoa is that a mushroom over there oh my gosh we got to go see it that's a giant one look at that thing it's perfect it's in pristine condition this is my hand for scale wo it's so soft we're back we're back we're back we're back back to camp [Music] I'm so excited for this fire tonight I think it's time to eat lunch now there are so many bugs out here so I'm going to go inside there's mosquitoes literally everywhere it's lunchtime I'm feeling kind of of tired and lazy so I think we're just going to make a sandwich real quick I cannot believe we are only a day into this challenge it feels like forever maybe that's because I don't have any thing to pass the time as quickly it's crazy how time warps when you're bored [Applause] just going to throw some turkey on here I think that's enough I might throw some bacon on here cuz it's kind of bland think kind of Gloom me out today might go another nature walk I really didn't think it going be this hard to detox it's really boring guys the end goal is that all will come out a better person maybe I hope this is this is the problem right here me like this is exactly what's wrong the fact that this is so hard already and we're just not even a full 24 hours in is insane it just goes to show how much we spend and rely on our phone for not just entertainment but everything like literally everything I don't think I could survive without my phone do I know maybe I should meditate can you guys believe it Millie is turning I got her in 2017 she was born and oh she's turning eight no I can't believe I got her so long ago that's crazy why am I crying I mean she still looks like a puppy and acts like a puppy so she's never going to die oh my gosh I can't believe Millie's so old I need to stop crying okay okay we're going to plan her the best birthday party ever and it's going to be perfect I'm going to make her a little puppy cake and I'm going to give her as much chicken as she wants um oh my gosh it's so hard being a girl have so many emotions this calls for some Sour hormone I just went on a nature walk it was so nice I saw a squirrel very entertaining also after Yi I am starting a podcast it's called going rogue cuz it's just me out here and I know a lot of you guys probably watched me from team raar and from when I was with Carter but your girl's on her own now but yeah I'm posting it on my second Channel and I'm really excited to share with you guys just like behind the scenes stuff and I don't know whatever you guys want me to talk about I could talk about anything granted don't take me that seriously because a I'm not a professional in much and it's really just about my self-discovery journey trying to like find my own way I'm still pretty full for my sandwich so I think we're just going to do morees for dinner it just started raining which unfortunately means we will not be able to go outside and make a fire we are just going to have to find activities for the indoor I honestly might make s'mores on that stove because I really have been craving a s'mores since yesterday the rain is actually perfect for reading so I did bring two books going to bed without my phone I really just am able to fall asleep because I get so bored that it's so easy to just pass out also there's a lot of time to think about stuff so that part's not super fun I mean some of the thinking is okay but some of it is just like a lot it's sores time the trick here what I like to do is put the chocolate in the marshmallow to melt it genius hack life hack for you guys there she is I'm going to um heat up another marshmallow while the fire is [Music] [Applause] on yum that was like heaven I'm going to shower get ready for bed and lay around going to have to take another cold shower we did it time to get cozy yes it is bedtime got to do my skin care routine [Music] we have made it to the second night I am mosquito Beyond board sorry oh my gosh there so many bugs yet again I read half of my book and I think it's time for bed wow I'm so tired good [Music] morning so many bugs for breakfast today we got bacon eggs and I made a piece of toast but I kind of burnt it a little bit so we do not have coffee so I actually heated up my water because it's just nice to drink something warm in the morning I think it's time to go fishing the thing about me is I love fishing I do not buy worms which only means one thing we have to catch some bait oh oh gross gross gross gross there is a dead horm in this box it smells so bad ew that's so gross ew time to catch some live baits usually there's Little Critters under the Rocks today there are none oh a worm yes let's go come on no this one wait a minute what's that ew what is that ew ew ew ew ew gross e ew ew ew ew e ew I don't think I even want to show you guys it's disgusting oh my gosh that is just n what are those ew that's disgusting ew what are those they're like maggots that is so gross that's the grossest thing I've ever seen in my entire life why would that be even who created that okay this is what we've got so far um this grub looking thing this worm and whatever that thing is we're going to keep searching oh guys it's awakened the centipede it's huge holy moly that thing is giant All Aboard you're ready to go fishing got to set up our Rod oh my gosh we're moving quick what the heck I think we should get an anchor for this [Music] thing I have docked us onto this tree I'm hoping we catch a catfish but you never know [Music] we caught a fish [Music] guys let's go it's little but it's a fish okay I say we put it back in the water cuz it's like not small enough to be bait but not big enough I mean I'm not going to keep any of these anyways what should we name him I'm going to name it Billy Billy Bob we're going to let you free Mr Billy Bob oh there it goes go need a little love top that's one fish down see how many more we can get oh I'm getting bites guys I'm getting nibbles like crazy look you can see you can even tell cuz my worm got bit off this is where they're at something that has helped me so much in my healing Journey has been fishing and has been being outside and just enjoying nature truly that being said I do miss being able to call my friends at night that's like normally what I do I also miss being able to take like a bunch of photos I guess um what else do I miss honestly I don't miss that much the days feel super long but that's not always a bad thing guys the centipede escaped it escaped I left it open oh my Lanta oh my gosh look it's right there it's on the move it's been planning this Escape all day look at those little creepy crawlers e running out of worms we got two left but we can definitely cut them in half to prolong when I was younger my family would go camping every summer and it was one of my favorite things to do I also loved watching River Monsters with Jeremy Wade when I was younger in like Middle School is one of my favorite TV shows I think that's where love for the outdoors and fishing really comes in to play we have been out here I did change my lore to a little guppy cuz we ran out of worms so we've been getting some bites but the problem with this is that it's kind of big so the only fish that could actually eat this would be a larg mouth bass or maybe a catfish I think I'm gonna call it a death I might leave this out here and we come back and check on it tomorrow maybe we'll have caught something we still have like two more days of this challenge going to go with some instant lunch classic guys I've been way too liberal with the water usage I okay when I was doing this levels test I was like looking at the battery which is full fresh water we're low we are going to have to be very very conservative with our water usage on the flip side our ramen's ready I'm going to make like a mini sandwich here need to ration our food and our water I'm going to make a fire to lighten up my mood it is so crazy how time slows down I can't believe it's only been like 2 days we're only half way through this what it's crazy it's actually nuts I feel like I've been in here for a week I guess if you really want to slow down time just digital detox it sto raining hooray I was getting so carried away with my book cuz it was getting really exciting it is a autobiography of Ral doll and he's fighting in World War II which is crazy and he was actually a pilot but it's s'mores time because it's getting dark it's getting late and the fire is absolutely firing I went to grab more wood and I got bit by fire ants on my hand so it's just kind of hurts oh that was hot m m camp fire s'more is one of the greatest joys in life I'm so glad we got to do a fire [Music] tonight I'm going to go inside prepare myself mentally for a cold shower and get ready for bed I'm tired we are more than halfway through the challenge so I'm proud of myself 50 hours in nature I mean even that is a lot and I do feel quite refreshed and more connected have a lot of bug bites which is not fun but aside from that it hasn't been like that hard fire was so nice we are off to bed third night in here we got this Facebook is so interesting Ral doll had an amazing life crazy story I still need to finish it so I'm going to read this and go to bed I finished my book last night it was amazing I'm not going to lie I stayed up a little late reading it's so sunny out though and it's our last full day of the challenge maybe that's why I'm tired cuz I slept so well I don't think I could eat instant noodles anymore I know it's only been 2 days but I'm already sick of it and I am very excited to eat a real meal after this but there's something about the Simplicity that I and really appreciating it's really peaceful it's like all the problems in the world don't exist without my phone even some of my problems don't exist without my phone it's also weird cuz I feel like my senses are heightened and I can hear everything like I hear so many nature sounds which I usually do hear it but like this morning I kind of woke up a little bit because I heard these crows like having a conversation outside they were so loud but I kind of like listened in I was EAS dropping and it sounded like they're coming from like three different directions I was like wonder what they're talking about [Music] might be out of water yes check it out got eggs and bacon again and I heated up my water again you know when you don't have a lot of options it really does simplify the decision making process I can't get over that book I read last night I did not realize R doll had such an intense life me I grew up reading his books and dang I didn't know he was a fighter pilot in World War II he's also from England survived a plane crash day three of this 100h hour challenge I spent my time reading Walking appreciating nature and just generally enjoying the outdoors yesterday we went fishing I left a line out and it's moved so I think there's something on the line I'm going to reel it it and let's see if we caught anything oh my gosh it ended up all the way over there how is that even possible the amount of movement in the water is crazy you just can't see it that well cuz there is such a beautiful reflection of the clouds on the water ah we are so stuck I mean something must have had to come out here for the line to have moved that far oh here's what happened we caught a monster an absolute monster and it cut the line it is what it is guys I really wish I knew what was on the end of that line I if I had to guess it's probably a cat fish since we're already out here we might as well go fishing again and got nothing else to do I'm getting so sick of I know it hasn't been that long but I do miss a hot warm cooked meal that's not noodles I'm going to be honest with you guys nature is cool and stuff very healing but I'm going a little stir crazy in there like I need my phone I just want to brain rot sometimes like sometimes I just want a doom scroll is that so bad of me also we're pretty much out of water I mean if I'm lucky there might be a spurt left for a shower tonight there's only so much nature I can look at I'm also eating cuz I'm bored I'm going crazy I'm trying to calculate in my head how many more hours left of this I have because oh my God I'm getting beat bit by bugs let me think 24 hours wait am I done what even is bread does anyone know you know what I'm excited for campfire tonight we're almost done I definitely have enough food for the next 24 hours ran out of water but the good news is I got chips in my hand it's not raining and I could shower tomorrow we're going to go do something I've never done before and we're just going to do it cuz I'm bored got nothing else to do gosh it's so many mosquito bikes I'm going slightly crazy from the lack of human interaction so you know like don't mind me I'm okay I'm okay you made [Music] it I hope this thing is on sturdy cuz if it's not then we're up here M now what I think I'm just going a little stir crazy I mean there's really nothing to do up here but we did it I think I'm going to go collect some wood for tonight's campfire and just start it up because I [Music] am so bored be cool if we saw an animal or something but the only animals I see are mosquitoes I think I need to meditate find peace [Music] again oh my gosh through these [Music] leaves for the last night on this challenge we are going to make the most beautiful fire to celebrate my I return back into society and back into the real world where there's people and the internet we can have unlimited s'mores cuz it's the last night one thing I will say though is my sleep has been amazing like I've been sleeping honestly I think my mental health has gotten better now that I think about it it's crazy a lot of my problems really do exist on my phone and I don't know if that's cuz I'm a YouTuber and like my job and my life is literally social media but having done it for so long there are times where it really does stress me out so getting off the internet has been amazing I 10 out of 10 would recommend despite my going a little bit insane right now and the not showering I think I'm going to kind of switch up my daily routine and not go on my phone as much we are pretty much Fresh Out of Water oh wait there's a little water left that might mean I could take a shower crazy I don't think we have enough so we're going to give up on that green I think we're just going to use the rest of the water to wash up I'm going to wash my face brush my teeth and wash the dishes and we'll be good and I have some drinking water I could use for emergency for the rest of tomorrow tomorrow's shower when I get back is going to be glorious [Music] [Music] did it I mean we got a lot of drinking water left so I'm not super worried we are shutting down for the night I'm going to bed I did finish my book so I don't have any entertainment for bed tonight but I'm actually pretty exhausted and so is my camera it's about to die good night I'll see you guys in the morning good morning it is the final day of this challenge I'm so excited to get back into society and get back on the internet it has been so peaceful and I honestly feel like I need to do this again for my own mental health but I also really want to shower I want to take a really hot shower and I really would love a home-cooked meal yeah hooray we're almost there we ran out of eggs we'll have some bacon [Music] these past few days have been a roller coaster I missed my phone at first and I really struggle with being bored but as the hours went by that noise started to fade away I learned that I'm actually okay on my own that silence isn't empty and it's full of life it's full of ideas and dreams that get drowned out when you're too plugged in I found pieces of myself out here that I had forgotten pieces drowned out by the constant ping of social media I love sharing my life with you guys and I love the community we've built together but this challenge has taught me the importance of stepping back sometimes and making sure that I'm not just living life for the next video or the next post I need to live for me too I'm excited to dive back into civilization and the digital world but I'm going to approach it a little differently with more balance and more moments like these with more real connections both online and offline so thank you for joining me on this crazy adventure while I'm going to miss the silence and peace of solitude I'm excited to take a hot shower eat a proper meal see my dogs and step back into civilization with a deeper appreciation for the things I usually take for granted thanks for watching I'll see you guys in my next video we did it we completed the challenge just like that it's [Music] over proud of myself it's time for me to acclimate back into civilization home sweet home
