A ROUGH Day and a Tense CONFRONTATION | Quartzsite RV Life

[@GotOut]

It really wasn’t too bad of a start for this day. I had to dig the trailer out a bit which really didn’t bother me. But then of course the worst thing I think that’s ever happened so far on the road… happened. I am really curious to know how you would have handled this situation. It feels great to be in Quartzsite! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕 I talked about these videos: Unburied dog video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqbXl2VurJeXg6Msi=O2huCcUNghf4ZUAb Quartzsite RV dump video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiyoHx-a818nqssi=sDO9ZoboNiJMYGyZ Quartzsite price hikes kzbin.info9e_om_4XNIs?si=awv9HUWcZLn8bber Quartzsite playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLeH1CWIaRMcVyPhSR5ZPc-ON9aHc7aNjI&si=prb7YINdjP8WI2T3

You did the right thing! A lot of people wouldn't have bothered to take the time to do what you did. Bless you!

[@GotOut]

I seriously thought I was going to be traveling with four dogs!!!

[@randomspirit]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being the kind of person who followed the dog to make sure he/she was okay/taken care of!!! Far too many people these days would have just kept driving. Again...check your email! (You'll see it one of these times. LOL)

[@gailshaversjr1773]

Good of you to check on the dog. Very few would especially walking into a strange neighborhood. Get you a set of traction boards for the low spots. They could come in handy also if you get stuck. MERRY CHRISTMAS. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@sandienochs6132]

When the guy fixed my broken sewer pipe he stopped the little leak by shoving a few loaves of bread up the drain pipe. Now that it was dry, he could glue the new valve in place. The bread dissolved after he was gone, pretty slick.

[@travelfrog888]

You are very decent for how you stopped and went out of your way to check on that dog. 40 years ago, in the next town, going maybe 15 mph, a dog came from between parked cars and I hit it. I pulled over fearing the worst and I just watched that dog run away as fast as it could. I hope it was alright. Yesterday, one of my cats got caught in my electric recliner couch and screamed so bad. That couch is 250 lbs and I needed both hands to lift it. I tried to reverse the mechanism. I thought the worst and that the cat had terrible injuries. It got free but ran on 3 legs. It went hiding under a bed. 1/2 hour later, it came out and after some good food, the cat was as fine as could be. Animals are tough. Best of luck.

[@GotOut]

Very cool 🌵🌲

[@scottpalmer7470]

Bro! Scotty P here. I respect the fact you put yourself in that position, not knowing these people and risking possible agression just because of your concern for that little dog. So…. Good to see you heading south. I hope you eventually run into Eric aka Nomadic Fanatic!

[@GotOut]

Hey thanks, Scotty! It all happened so fast. At first I was mostly just worried the dogs would run off and I wouldn’t be able to find them. 🌵🌲

[@scottpalmer7470]

@@GotOutI totally get it and like how ya handled it. Youre a good guy. And hey! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@ChipMiller-o4m]

You did that right thing by checking on those dogs ! You have a big heart! I am in La Posa South for much of the winter. Will send you an email 😊

[@JigsawPuzzleConnection]

Glad the dog was OK. Welcome to Quartzsite.

[@teedeedill]

Glad you made it to Q. Enjoy the down time and hope you have a Merry Christmas! Also glad the dog lived to see another day! 😊

Problems w.dogs not my favorite subject now. Going through a loud xmas week w.neighbors. they have big barking dogs who bark outside late at night. Now, have company w.howling husky. Rude to let them howl at 5 a.m. Im not in R.V., so i cant move away! Bottom line, people need to respect others and take care of their pets.

[@GotOut]

Ugh neighbors! Yeah we are pretty lucky the dogs and I can Move whenever the location or people don’t suit us! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

Contact city code enforcement, as well as for loud music, trash and Revving engines

[@patriciarussell756]

@@beautifuldreamer3991 are sheriff's department doesnt really care about barking dogs and they must catch them barking and as soon as they see a sharriff come down the road they contain the dogs. Also animal control I have filled out paperwork and complained about them getting loose and they say they must catch them loose. 🥴

[@GR-mw1tk]

Good of you to stop to check on the dogs. Warm weather in quartzite looks wonderful. Hoping to go next year!

[@GotOut]

Yeah you should definitely check it out. Great weather nice people but it is crowded, so not for everyone. I personally like to have a lot of space myself and somehow quartzite still works for me. I usually find sites where I feel really comfortable. 🌵🌲

[@GR-mw1tk]

@ Crowds … that is not appealing

[@benboruff]

You did far more than most would have by following up on the dog's welfare. Good job! I've been in Q for almost a month, staying at the LTVAs. I have mixed feelings about it. So many people ... I'm not sure $180 is worth what we get now.

[@GotOut]

It gets even more crowded! Honestly though I just move to Less Populated areas in the ltvas.

[@user-lk5tf5it9x]

Merry Christmas!

[@GotOut]

Merry Christmas, V! 🌲🌵🐕‍🦺🐕

[@sandy-quimsrus]

Never met a dig that was stupid enough to get hit by a car! Bad luck but good on you for checking. Merry Christmas to you and your followers.

[@GotOut]

Merry Christmas, Sandy! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@sandy-quimsrus]

@GotOut you too my dear

[@TeriDuncan8049]

You did the right thing making sure the dog was ok 👍. More than some people would 😢.

[@timsforcoffee]

+1 I also thought it was interesting that the lady was not aware that the dog had been injured. Now the injury can be properly accessed. The only thing I would have done differently was your initial comment to the lady. “Your dogs were running…”. Would have been a lot softer if you had said. “I just came to make sure your dogs were okay, and let you know…” Great job, you did the right thing, even though it put you in an uncomfortable position. 👍

[@GotOut]

Luckily everyone else stopped because it would’ve been easy for another vehicle to hit them. Speed Limit was 45 I think. I was doing 35 and slowed to about 25 when I hit the black one.

[@GotOut]

Great input. I appreciate it. Kinda all happened at once. I was just really worried about the dogs.

[@timsforcoffee]

@@GotOutI hear you 👍 Sun is in your face. Your heart is racing. An animal is injured. You’re in an unfamiliar environment. You don’t know the owners and they may be confrontational. You're leaving your own dogs and rig behind etc. It’s easy to watch a video and comment vs. being in the moment. I wish the lady was nicer to you. You really went out of your way to do something most people would not have. She wouldn’t have even known the dog was injured. Kind of seemed like she blew you off vs. being appreciative. I had a small cat do the same thing and run into my vehicle 20 years ago. It still bothers me.

[@BrendaBlystone-ur6fy]

Hey there 👋 GO where you staying is very pretty there with Eacho and Dagger amazing video be safe

[@GotOut]

We are doing great, Brenda! Thanks for caring and watching! 🌲🌵🐕‍🦺🐕

[@johnnymac-ly6sq]

Using leveling blocks in the low dips of the road

[@GotOut]

Yeah actually that probably would’ve worked! 🌲🌵

[@spaceprepper3657]

Scary way to start the day. Nowcyou can settle in for a bit. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊.

[@GotOut]

Yeah Q feels like a good place to chill out for now

[@CiaofCleburne]

Poor doggie😢 hope she is ok. Sad about the other dog too. Reminds me of Kilo, a neighborhood dog. I tried to save him but the owners turned him loose one day and there was no chance. Made me so angry they didn’t even bury him. I have such a soft heart for pets❤

[@GotOut]

I was ready to instantly adopt two dogs! Ha that would’ve been wild. At first, I just assumed they were wild desert dogs. But they pretty quickly ran home. 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@Nomadic_freedom]

Sounds like to me that the dogs were trying to pull an insurance scam like those damn squirrels!!!

[@Boot76]

My last travel trailer was pushing 40’. I installed heavy duty caster wheels at the rear of the unit to help roll through some tricky spots.

[@GotOut]

NEver seen that before! 🌵🌲

[@kar-r5i4f]

I heard the new dump site will not open for another two years according to the BLM field office in Yuma

[@GotOut]

Yeah I have heard that as well! A couple More years! And did it really cost 5 million? 🌵🌲

[@kennybyrd770]

Glad you made it to the Q. "Welcome to the party Hans" 😅

[@GotOut]

Haha I'm glad to be here! 🌵🌲

[@jerryw8023]

I hit a dog on a backroad two years ago. I had come up over the crest of a hill, the dog was right along the side of the road at the bottom, and a quick stop while towing that trailer was not an option. Well, sure enough, it ran out, with an unhappy ending. That really put me in a bad place for a couple days, but even more so for the owners. I did go to find them, and we located the dog a little ways back in the woods. Never want to relive that experience. :'(

[@TuttTutt-l4b]

Quartzsite is the place to be this time of year! Wish I was there lol…. I’m in rainy cold Northern California working but starting Friday I have a week off and we’re going to Joshua tree national Park, which will be lovely.

[@GotOut]

Cool park! 🌵🌲

[@prissilou]

Most people don't want to hit a dog and injure it. (Although there are a few sickos out there.) But it's a difficult situation when a dog runs out in the middle of the road in front of you, and you can't stop or swerve in time. You did the honorable thing, however, and luckily the dog wasn't seriously injured. Glad all ended well with no ugly standoffs.

[@GotOut]

I only wish I could’ve at least got a good look at the injury. 🌵🌲

[@LifeHappens-q3v]

Good man for at least checking. But you wouldn’t have been liable. But at least letting the owner know it was hit. But that’s where your responsibility ends.

[@GotOut]

I was thinking if I got the vibe that the owner was not a good owner, maybe I could take the dog to the vet myself. That’s why I wanted to see the dog.

[@chuckbrewington6817]

You took the time to make sure the dog wasn't suffering and it's with it's owner. Not your fault.

[@LifeHappens-q3v]

As far as raising the rate. It’s good if they use it for improvements. Not good if they don’t. That’s the tell for if it was worth it or not.

[@timrodatz1274]

Why don't you get the system to raise the axle on the trailer etc. You might know it as Flip Your Axles. That will raise your trailer height to keep from damaging the important parts like sewer etc

[@GotOut]

Yeah I did look into exactly this upgrade when I re did the suspension. I decided against it because there is some minor welding involved. I may still do it. 🌵🌲

[@joeyking2765]

Is the water at the LTVA unlimited? Can someone fill a 300 gallon tote if they wanted to?

[@GotOut]

Yeah it’s unlimited until 6pm then it gets shut off. Some people fill big containers but I’ve never seen More than a couple 55 gallon drum filled at once.

[@Right-laneRubberDucky]

You would think in Arizona that people would be extra careful with their dogs.... it is a one bite state, no exceptions, not that they were aggressive at all but it is still quite a steep penalty. Glad it went well.

[@GotOut]

I was instantly worried they might be aggressive but quickly I could tell they were just scared the white dog barking out me I could tell wasn’t going to bite me.

[@nathansmith2418]

Another fine video curious about trailer weight and how well your truck pulls it

[@GotOut]

Trailer is 7000 lbs. I have the bigger engine in my truck and it tows great! 🌵🌲

[@JamesDonovan-p5r]

Go you did good

[@GotOut]

Haha yeah kinda weird day

[@Mark-gg6iy]

You are in America, I would not expect any confrontation to go well. Here in Brazil the dogs lay in the street and don´t move for vehicles.

[@rgreed20081]

RULE NO. 1 - Keep your dogs on a leash. If not on leash, you are at fault for what happens to your dog. RULE NO. 2- if you think it that it is all right to let your day off a leash, look very carefully at RULE NO. 1

[@UtahPaul]

Hey KZbinr great episode. Where did you get that sound when you transition love it

[@GotOut]

Oh shoot if I give away my editing secrets… really cool that you noticed that by the way. It’s actually a default sound effect in the editing program I use. 🌲🌵

[@Alleycatthegadite]

Welcome to south.

[@WindGypsy65]

Guess it would really suck if they can agree to pass the budget. If Federal employees are out of work there will be No trash removal. Can’t wait to pick my spot! Maybe some of the funding will go to more facilities 😊???

[@bobmartens1089]

Wow that sewer pipe is low!!!!!

[@GotOut]

Yeah I have learned a lot about the low clearance issues of my trailer. It’s kind of insane but I’m getting much better at it

[@donnawest2316]

My new to me MH is the same... low exposed sewer pipe. Trying to figure out something to protect it. I also like to boondocks in the desert. My Winnebago class C was all enclosed. I constantly worry about it

[@UtahPaul]

That's not your fault its the owners fault for letting the dogs run loose. Probably why the new dump stations are not working they want more money. 😢

[@bobmartens1089]

I thought you were going to show how to take a poop and dig a hole in the desert 😮😮😮😅

[@GotOut]

I guess that’s what you really want yo see? 🌵🌲

[@SegoMan]

I heard they were going to raise the LTV fees, is that true?

[@GotOut]

That’s what everyone’s talking about. I made a video about the proposed increases. Link in description.

[@jimdoozy]

BLM got screwed on their contract for the waste stations. The contractor drilled down and hit water - and stopped drilling. They were supposed to drill deeper to hit better water, but they didn't and it dried up. There is no water there and BLM has to redo the contract or sue.

[@marksr8784]

What is the price of Gas ⛽️???

[@GotOut]

$2.80

[@BrendaBlystone-ur6fy]

Yu know what I say they should keep there Dogs put up it's not your fault

[@tracymeskel2839]

They built that dump station, last year, and they didn’t drill deep enough for water. Now they want to charge us $600 to stay here next year. So they can drill deep enough to get water. They screw up and we have to pay for it!😡🤬

[@MericanAdventures]

Everything in California sucks, except geographically/nature. So dam expensive, i avoid California when I can, but living next door makes it hard to avoid, and there's so much to see and do there. You gotta save up like you're going to Vegas 3 times before you go! LOL.

[@GotOut]

Ha I agree! 🌵🌲

[@phuckindrummer5537]

Wait, you have a low spot on your trailer?????? I thought you were explaining that the dog had been run over by you!!?? What the hell are you talking about, changing subjects mid sentence?

[@GotOut]

Seems like the teaser at the beginning confused you maybe?
