3 Days Solo Truck Camping in the Montana Mountains

[@roamingreckless]

there seems to be so much confusion surrounding last nights live and this video. KZbin videos are uploaded on a delay, they take ~30-40 hours alone to just edit, not including the filming. So they are scheduled and posted ahead of time. The video covering last nights situation will go live on KZbin in a couple weeks. I posted updates to both KZbin and IG today to let everyone know we’re okay. The details of what’s up with Poe and how we got rescued will be in the upcoming KZbin video. Hope that helps clear things up!

[@roamingreckless]

also to the trolls telling me this is all for drama can disrespectfully get bent. I would never endanger my life (or more importantly Blues life!!) for KZbin views. I have integrity, I was genuinely stressed out of my mind last night and yall can miss me w that behavior, tysm 🩵

[@barber0611]

I looked everywhere to see if you had updated us....looked in video's and in community.....didn't see.....and just glad you are ok!....that's all girl.....did not know videos were scheduled to post ahead of time....good to know

[@blurpledragon2779]

Blue is a beauty with tons of personality and therfore is a hell of a doggie model !! He always brings a smile to my face when I see him !!

[@courtneyisaseagull]

So glad you're okay!!! Be careful! ❤

[@richrospopo3040]

Glad to hear you’re ok! Fuck the trolls!

[@jessima8053]

Maria, I love my dog and all but the way Blue carried around that hippo melted my heart!

[@kayenne221]

G force on a dog left unsafe in a car, without a harness is not so heart melting. It terrifies me. No one will do this to their children who they strap in a safety harness for protection. Why do people not think like this with their precious dogs? I couldn’t gamble with my precious dogs lives that way, not while strapping myself in safe, leaving a dog to fly out the windscreen, or seriously injure himself by the impact. It’s confusing and very neglectful.

[@SuperDixxxie]

rhinoceros, sorry🤭. sooo cute though

[@Larryw-o2k]

​@kayenne221 your correct in some ways traveling dogs are different them other dogs they watch for sudden braking and stops its amazing what they learn my dog gets on the bed and stays as long as we're moving that's a queen size bed 25 ft from the front I do believe there's no danger her going out of or into the windshield if we're in my pickup she's in the back in a kennel that's tied down I have a 4 door truck I dobelieve shes as safe as possible no straps or ties to strangle her if we're on slowdrive shes in the front enjoying her self if I hitthe brake she braces on the padded dash like she has some brains that's what travelin dogs do

[@nursenancy421]

Me too- my eyes actually filled up 😢

[@vstarr624]

My Apollo has been fighting lymphoma for a year and 3 months he was in his 2nd round of chemotherapy when we found out it spread to his liver a week ago. We are now doing our best to make his last days the best ever. I pray your baby beats his cancer.❤❤❤

[@ChevieBabySalvatore]

Prayers blessings and love too you your family and Apollo ❤❤

[@roamingreckless]

😭 praying for you and Apollo

[@JesseHdez]

I pray that your Apollo is as comfortable as can be during his last days. Please give him a couple of belly rubs for me.

[@lynnfiegl4953]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@RMankin-id5uw]

So very sorry , Apollo is so blessed to have you to be with him during this time-praying .❤️

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

Seeing Blue carrying that toy was adorable

[@bill107]

This girl has the greatest personality of all time.

[@OriontheHunter333]

I especially loved how the cashier at Cabela’s handed the hippo back to Blue! After you paid for it. Watching you all on your adventures is just the best! You two make me laugh and smile! And my dog Sampson really enjoys watching you too!

[@Tommy-Eagle-USA]

I don't think people really appreciate how difficult it is to make something as mundane as driving, eating and living in a car interesting. Your editing skills are getting very good I thoroughly enjoy the longer videos.

[@christywallace7339]

Same!!❤❤

[@jadecf5003]

It’s blue picking out his toy for me , omg that made me smile with so much awe 🥹🥹

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

It's this comment for me amen 🙏 🙌 ☺️ ❤

[@christywallace7339]

Yes it was way tooooo adorable and precious 💕

[@tonytrumble]

Blue truly is a camera friendly dog! Every picture is a perfect pose!

[@BFVgnr]

The Cabelas cashier doing the best job. Not only rang up the floof for Blue, but handed the floof TO Blue!. Blue living his best life. You rock Ria.

[@myfivebrats1972]

Blu with the stuffed animal was the cutest 🥺🥰❤️

[@Laurie03]

The hippo and Blue melted my heart! So precious ☺️

[@timwheel8466]

So cool. An American chick driving around Canada (as it was) in a British car with an Aussie dog. So bloody good. You go girl. All the best from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@NancyMoody-ec7wt]

WOW! I can’t believe at all blue has gone through with his cancer and his chemo treatments that he has that much energy that just amazes me!!!!

[@geriann8]

Let us know when you are back. Miss seeing you two

[@juliebianchi2163]

Watching Blue puts me in the best mood! He's such a good dog and a great travel companion for you. I'm gonna send up extra prayers that his chemo goes well and that you have MANY more years together. ❤

[@RobertBeardall]

Watched your live and hope you and blue and Poe are ok 😄

[@barber0611]

glad you posted cause now we know you are alive!

[@starsoldier3643]

I lived in Montana for the first 20 years of my life. I miss it alot. One of the most beautiful wild states left in the usa.

[@briancclevenger]

I love Blu's zooming by you while outside, but the toy in his mouth leaving the store was priceless.

[@annasilvestri6204]

Maria are you and Blue ok? Hope your both healthy, warm and defender is now fixed 🙏🏼 praying for you both especially for Blue’s health 😘

[@morbid_goblin_]

I just lost both my childhood dogs this week, seeing the bond between you and Blu makes me so happy and sad at the same time. This video definitely made my week, wishing you guys safe travels ❤️

[@clarity8]

I’m so sorry. May you see them again in dreams.

[@mariasant7810]

Sending you a virtual hug.

[@groupersti]

Your dog picking his toy and carrying it with him, brought me to tears...My lil guy is getting up in age and I know it's coming...

[@christiandedome2764]

So cool you let him pick his own he gets what he really likes. My wife and I used to let our dogs do the same thing ,since she past ( 10 yrs ago ) I still let our 2 tiiny ones still it keep me smiling and remember the good time Barbara and I had with 7 dogs🙃

[@johnyoder9302]

If you want a seasoning for most things including steak, I use Lawry's seasoning salt. Perfect for about everything.

[@kristinseymour25]

True! However you can do the same with Montreal Steak seasoning! I put it on all meat and vegetables!

[@user-Cam-x7b]

[@kaskl5403]

Good to see you made it out.

[@Brydello]

Blue with the toy he picked out is the cutest thing ever🥺

[@alohatvn]

Blue loves his new toy. Very entertaining video 📹. We will see you on the next one adventurer ❤❤❤.

[@LindsayLouHoo]

Love you and Blue! Glad you are safe. I'm perplexed by the drone shots of Poe cruising down the mountain. That must take some serious multi-tasking :)

[@Serene_jl]

Glad to see you back in action! Blue is flipping adorable and looking spunky as always. Omg him picking out his own stuffy..so cuteee😊. Thank you for sharing with us ❤

[@teresabass5306]

I’m having roamingreckless withdrawals. 😂 Hope you and Blue are just out there enjoying life!!

[@saltyassassin]

Blue all proud carrying around his new stuffed Rhino made my year!!

[@PhatboyHD88]

That was so awesome to see how happy Blue was with his new toy Rino 🥰🥰

[@korykraner7876]

Little tip for lighting the stove with a lighter turn the gas on notch til you hear a decent not full blast stream. They just move the light toward it. So it will ignite from the futherest distance. Save you from burning hairs off your arm.

[@robertstanley563]

We need to get you a DC to AC inverter so Poe can charge your Jackery. My rig has one and I turn it on while I’m driving and it fully charges my Jackery and aux batteries.

[@lilgucci_____]

Blue caring the toy was adorable 😂😊

[@bigsky2111]

There are two bigger Rover clubs in MT one in Helena and one in Bozeman. Also Jeff Steiner at BradfordsBritishService in Stevensville is the best Rover mechanic in MT.

[@kithobson548]

i use to have a rot wieler half blood hound he was long as a blood hound but looked like a rot wieler. i use to bring him into the store and he did the same thing like blu and it made me smile so hard he died on thanks giving.

[@tamirule4216]

Blue is the cutest on the planet ❤ I loved seeing him pick out his toy and that he picked out a rhinoceros. He’s such a good boy. I love when you call him kid🥰

[@Chrissssyyyyyyy]

Oh Blue and his new toy! So adorable! I hope you guys are safe now after the other night and you got Poe running.

[@marilynfletcher4147]

990.000 miles is so many miles. I bet you have replaced all that you can ! Praying for safe travels. Praying for you and Blue. My Jake passed and I hope to see him again.❤

[@taconoodle88]

Blue made my day. What a cutie and so adorable carrying and picking out his toy!

[@EYES2seeEARS2hear78]

Girl.. u went from HELP! We are stranded… to Blue pick out a stuffie! Good to know you are both safe young lady.❤

[@kathyamick2327]

Maria I was sad to hear that Blue crossed over the rainbow bridge. My Pablo died 3 years ago. He was my best friend. Sending hugs and condolences. Havent seen any new posts from you. Hope to see more posts when the healing begins.

[@SimoneNC]

Newbie here! I love your personality and your Wit! Blue is adorable and I call my girl bubby tooo! I’m 64 and travel quite often. I’m from NC and I just bought a couple acres for my home base here and I’m wanting something out west too! The SW has my soul!!!! Safe travels!!!

[@jlgraham5606]

This video makes me miss my old stomping grounds home. I was a Deputy Sheriff near Glacier park until retirement. Will be back this summer. Love your KZbin videos!

[@TammyHiland]

I had to get up early this morning I've been worried about you have a good night thinking that you know somebody hopefully came to check on you and take care of that. I'm glad you & your Furbaby is doing great okay so God must have answered our Prayers Thank you Lord..

[@andrewwinick2906]

Glad you’re ok but that truck really needs a complete overhaul. Stay safe!!

[@estellamitchell7518]

I'm the Vice President of the 5am club. Its 5am currently and I am up watching your video while cleaning my house haha. Also Blue looked absolutely adorable with the toy. Of course Blue is always adorable! ♥♥

[@brendakarakeian7318]

Great video! Editing fantastic! Blue is adorable! 💙💙💙

[@garygooch8638]

Hello from Dearborn MI. I have been enjoying your videos for maybe 6 months, but I laughed so hard @ Blue running out of Cabella's with his stuffed rino like he stole it. I've binged watched most of your videos now & want to thank you for the great content you provide. Keep up the great work.

[@whyme6534]

Your dog is so cute his hippo and the zomies can’t get no better then that love the way you interact with you pup

[@BookerDishes77]

I loved seeing Blue with the toy purchase! We have a retired police k9 (hubby's partner). Every time I take him to get his haircut, we do the same thing. The toys only last about 5 minutes once we get home, but his proud happy through the store is so worth it.

[@jalyassin]

OMG Maria you literally have THE CUTEST dog ❤I'm not even a dog person but him picking up his little stuffed toy at the store is just the cutest thing ever

[@scottkindley]

So how are you getting drone footage of driving POE if you’re traveling solo?

[@katarina1852]

I think sweet boy Blue was exposing his belly to say “notice anything about my fur”. Watching him stick his head out the window during your drive early in this video and later picking out that toy & carrying it around in his mouth will make me smile all day. 🥰 He’s so precious.

[@michaelmedlen]

read up on the third eye, the pineal gland., the third eye supplement has helped me with sleep, and overall stamina..

[@Stargirl11128]

Omgggg the way your baby carried the toy is the cutest thing ever!! 🥲

[@AmberClark-d6w]

I loved seeing blue carry his toy to car it was super cute times 10 🤗.... this camping trip looks like tons and tons of fun congrats 😊

[@TheMimichacha]

Hi Ria😁.."in the old days", those of us that r nite owls, they called us "the WATCHERS"...we r the kind that kept the villages, etc SAFE!! Yep....💙

[@rosellawerbicki]

I love your video's!!! I stayed up all Friday night to watch all your latest ones and now I will go back to your earlier ones. Blue just loves his new friend lol. So darned cute.I would buy the book you want to write "The 5 am club" cause I'm up until at least that time. Border Collies are the smartest dog. Changing subjects yet again. I love Montana too. I drove through it about 20 yrs ago and I would never get bored living there. Blue is sooo loved by you. You can see the love he gives back in his eyes.

[@NeilNZ]

Blue and his new toy is adorable 😊

[@finallyawakened3350]

Blue is the cutest, most adorable dog!!! Love him to bits!! ❤❤

[@christywallace7339]

Blue is the best, him carrying out his toy is just EPIC ❤❤ From North Carolina 🇺🇲

[@jenny88cc]

Seeing Blue with that toy is everything! Just too cute! 😍

[@mariagautier5956]

Blu is so cute with his stuffed hippo!! Safe travels!! Great pics of Montana!

[@dasta7658]

Both Blue and you bring smiles to our faces! Blue with the toy is too cute!

[@Julie-l7r]

Your Dog made me smile so big when he was carrying his new toy through the store, he really is adorable! 😊❤❤❤

[@jkodot]

I love watching your adventure and journey. Just a survival note in case you dont have a preference, angel hair or thin spaghetti pasta cooks faster and uses less fuel. 😊

[@thehattersmadness1957]

Peak is the best RME that we have found! Flavor and texture are on point. Blue of course is the star of the show!! Hugs from us and good luck with future treatments. You have got this Blue!!❤🐾❤️

[@delbertmontgomery1968]

Blue makes my heart smile!

[@barryread3672]

I’m also a member of the 5 AM club but differently. I wake up at 5 no matter what time I go to sleep. Many years of military service programmed my body. Hopefully when I retire I’ll be able to reprogram that. You and blue travels are the highlight of my week.

[@Larryw-o2k]

Takes years if it ever does I wake at 3am every day was my shift in military 3am to 11am wake at 3 no matter and start getting tired around 1pm even if I didn't get up til late sucks

[@hazegreyghost]

Awesome, live in Columbia Falls, MT, can now cross off one more item from my bucket list. Was less than 20 miles away from an internet celebrity, when Blue visited Cabela's in Kalispell, MT. Thanks Blue!

[@inhertrax9612]

I got a job in Glacier for this summer WITH HOUSING INCLUDED. Cannot wait. Only a few more weeks until I start. BTW, I have a small storage room in Seattle for all my winter gear .$20/month. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

[@hbee921]

Hey Maria and Blue! Welcome back to the U.S.! Hope you have better weather in Montana! We keep getting snow off and on in Wisconsin.

[@petknow]

I fell in love with Blu, but didn’t realize how special your channel is until I started to worry about your truck Poe. Of course I was worried about you and Blu, but the truck shocked me. 😂

[@traci635]

Blue is so stinking cute! So glad he's doing good. Thank you Maria for sharing such a beautiful campsite. Safe travels 🙏

[@Walking_With_Strangers]

I can't with Blue and his little stuffed toy! So cute!!

[@indecline06]

As you're doing a grocery haul I am adding them to my list. My favorite sugar free drink mix is a horchata one they sell on amazon or target. Great vids!

[@CC-in1jy]

Your Blue always puts smile on my face, what a darling precious Blue ❤

[@torikorn8706]

Peak refuel is the best!!! The chicken pesto pasta and the chicken coconut curry are my faves!! Brought both of those on my backpacking trip across Isle Royale last year 😍

[@ItsTOUGHtobeFascinating]

I've had that French press attachment for awhile. It's nice and easy. But I don't have running water, so it's a pain to clean.

[@NancyTipton-u8e]

Love every video you and Blue do. Please don’t work too hard doing them for us. You two need to have a good time together, then do a video if there is time. Happy days-and nights to you both. Thanks for sharing your travels with us.😊

[@tammyinman1699]

I love y’all!!! Blue is awesome and sooooo beautiful!!!! I’m glad he’s doing well!!!! Your journey is so fun to see! The views are always amazing!!! Thank you Maria♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻☘️

[@rrrrrrtt1]

You and blue are super brave and talented. Keep it going and stay safe and warm!

[@jio930]

Recently, I have been watching your channel and I hope for the very best for you. I would like for you to be very successful with your content. You deserve it. Your funny and your road trips give me inspiration.

[@Sonic_Boom92]

That was so cute how Blue was prancing around with pride with his new toy!☺

[@rambojohn7118]

Blue was cute picking out a new toy and carrying it around

[@d3vin301]

yea, I agree with you better get poe washed soon, all that road salt will start to corrode. I'd try to find a place that you can get the underside cleaned too. or those self operated washes even though its cold out spray the heck out of the frame.

[@chaosncheckt9356]

PEAK were my go to meals when I hiked the AT last year. Personally, I think they tasted the best,plus they had more calories which was what I needed. My black/tan/white Aussie is named Bugsy and he goes everywhere with me. They are way too smart for their own good some times, but they love adventure and are great companions. Stay safe

[@BigPoppaJNutZ]

I've been using the Jet Boil press for many years. Total game changer!

[@babyWillow2009]

I’m so so sorry about your Blu! I just lost my dog from cancer & I didn’t know until she had a horrible nose bleed. Broke my heart into pieces because the cancer was in her nose. The vet thought after a few nose bleed, she thought it was from a couple ear infection she had. She was just Best like your dog. I miss her so bad. Never thought after going to ER 1:00 in morning, I wasn’t going home from ER with her due to the cancer. That’s when I found out she had cancer. I was totally in shock! I like to know how old is Blu? I wish him the best with his chemo, I really hope he pulls through this. Safe travels to you both..

[@toddramsay977]

You should get some wide egg noodles, cook and drain, put in good iIrish butter to taste. Put in some fresh parsley. Combine well. Little bit of whatever protein you want. Pork, Beef, Chicken, Fish or not. I love wide egg noodles with chopped fried soy egg. ( fried egg in soy sauce or scrambled with soy sauce)

[@jamjon85]

I love Montana! I hope you stopped in West Yellowstone! Be safe!

[@jeffbanks9955]

Blue is the most adorable creature on earth. I am truly jealous you have such a wonderful companion. I'm really enjoying your videos Ria; I've been binging them for a while now. The LR defender is one of our legendary creations...it's very popular but it really shouldn't be as popular as it is given it foibles! I think it's the Character...the rugged, down to earth and unpretentious spirit it holds that makes it so popular. What you see is what you get. Also, it's nice to see a fellow believer out in the world living their best life. Greetings from England & may God bless you and keep you safe on your travels.

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Montana is gorgeous. But the best part was Blue carrying that stuffy. I can't. So much cuteness. I'm a night owl and this time change is kicking my butt. It's 1:25 am right now lol. Excited for the next video. Have a great weekend. ❤

[@tawney.]

I started watching your videos for the cool camping but I 100% stayed for Blue. He’s absolute perfection 🥹🥲

[@tonykolar5079]

❤ I’m so Happy and Glad to see by little Buddy Blue up and running! I Absolutely Love 💕 watching you both Traveling together keep up the great work Sweetie 😊

[@RobinHarley]

how cute is Blue with his dolly? The cutest in the whole wide world!!
