Скачать или смотреть Bridge Out, Road Closed… Then This Happened | Winter Van Life in Oregon

We thought we were just crossing a snowy mountain pass in Oregon.
Instead, we hit road closures, a bridge out, heavy winter conditions, and an unexpected van scare — all before we even made it to the coast.

Jason from Primal Outdoors and I were traveling together to meet friends when winter van life reminded us who’s really in charge. A closed road forced us to reroute through wildfire-damaged forest areas, steep icy grades, and snow-covered backroads. At one point, we even thought his van might be overheating on a brutal incline.

Not exactly how we pictured the day going.
But sometimes the forced detours lead somewhere better.

After turning around and adjusting the route, we landed in one of the most peaceful rainforest campsites I’ve ever experienced — snow falling through moss-covered trees, a river running nearby, and Apollo stepping outside in the snow for the first time.

Winter van life in Oregon is unpredictable.
It can be stressful.
It can test your patience.
And it can surprise you in the best ways.

Thanks for coming along on this adventure.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis — it’s an adventure.

ABOUT ME 💁🏼‍♀️
Hi! My name is Beth and I am a solo female traveler, embracing full-time van life! I travel in my van named "Bertie" along with my cat, Apollo. My passion for the outdoors started in 2022. I purchased a van, worked with a company called Noovo to create a custom build that fits my lifestyle. I’ve gone from coast to coast and continue to enjoy exploring, connecting with myself in nature and sharing my adventures with others through my social media content. My goal is to inspire others to find peace and healing through faith, time in the outdoors and to discover their own adventures! I love nature and am all about finding new hikes and trails. God has made such a beautiful world- I love exploring it! This channel will be focused on sharing about real van life, traveling alone as a female and some of my exploring. I want to encourage everyone, that if I can do this, then so can you!
