A Snowstorm in Yellowstone | Truck Camper Life

[@user-eg3wd2pc8b]

Your crow is a raven. Love following your journey through the many beautiful sites of North America.

[@krystaldelmonico7294]

The Common Raven in the US averages 25" and 2.6 lbs, they can live more than 23 years and Ravens mate for life. They are very intelligent, can problem solve, use tools, and eat just about anything. I love Ravens.

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

@@krystaldelmonico7294 I was out-landing in NV once a number of years ago. I was out in the mountains between NV & AZ and was taking in the scenery. I came upon a Raven & found myself actually talking to him. Man he was God gifted beautiful. It was like he was carrying on a conversation with me. This is nature in it's finest.

[@mylexicon2]

Yellowstone in October is magical. Most of the resorts are closed. Only Old Faithful and Mammoth stay open until mid-October, before they are winterized and then reopened for snow coach tourists. The animals are often moving around during the day because light is precious and time is running out to find food, and the bison start migrating back to Old Faithful for the winter. Unfortunately, the park is also quite dangerous around this time with overnight temps dipping into the single digits occasionally, and day time highs sometimes struggle to reach 40 degrees. Snow can arrive unexpectedly and melt/refreeze causing dreadful icy conditions that make it extremely dangerous to exit the park through the South Entrance towards Jackson. Beautiful and dangerous. Doesn’t get much better than that.

[@DianeSturlinXX]

You're in my backyard right now! I was born and raised up there. I lived in a small town just south of the park called Jackson. Everybody calls it Jackson Hole but that's not actually the name of the town, that's the name of the valley that the town sits in. When we were kids and we told our parents we were going to the park we didn't mean the city park and they knew they wouldn't see us for a couple of days! My favorite time of year was winter. We built snow caves up by the hot springs and stay for a couple of days at least once a month. That was such a blast! I'm an old old lady now can't hardly make it out to the mailbox. I appreciate this video so much it's like going home for a minute. 🥰🤗

The CO detector may be seeing condensation. The CO detector may not be the BS EN50291-2 model for campers. If it is a -1 model, it is for homes. The CO detector may be mounted in a corner (more condensation or hindered airflow). The CO detector may be giving a low battery beep, or a malfunction alarm, especially if it has been cold or using the battery that came with the unit, so check the directions for the beep that you are hearing.

[@williamfuller2389]

[@1jackvalley580]

I worked for Yellowstone National 🏞️ Park and when it snows lightly be very careful it honestly can turn into an extremely dangerous situation quickly. You really need to be more winter ❄️🥶 prepared for safety reasons. Also always have 2 cans of bear spray and carry one on you when your sight seeing, grizzlies 🐻 look big and slow, but they are lightening fast, can even out run a horse. You were seeing Ravens which are much larger then crows and usually don't make a caw sound similar to crows. Your videos are really great, keep doing them and everything looks so beautiful, THANKS 🙏 for taking us along🐻🐾🐾🥶

[@covetthecamper2289]

4 beeps means the detector is sensing CO or a false trigger from a cleaner, air freshener or possibly some other gas (yes, it can be triggered by flatulence. Human or animal.) If your detectors (smoke, CO and LP) are not new, installed by you, check the date codes on the back of each device. The sensors have a useable/operable lifespan. Replace LP detector every 5-7 years. Replace smoke detector every 7-10 years depending on manufacturer. Replace CO detector every 5-7 years depending on manufacturer. Check batteries each month. CO/Smoke detector) Low battery will sometimes trigger the alarm. Sometimes a low house battery will trigger an LP detector. Cleaners and air freshener vapor can trigger these alarms. Awesome video btw. Great videography and music selection. 👍🏻

Jonathan, Ty . Im one of those people who will never get out much. Because of YOU, im able to see places that i would never have been able to. Much Gratitude.

[@ADVENTUREAROUNDTHEBEND]

Frozen windows break easily, be careful hitting on them. Also, dry heat from a budget diesel heater is pretty nice in a super cold like that. Propane creates so much moisture.

[@brianthegreat1-j4w]

I sprinkle salt around the iced up areas

[@kristenvincent3622]

I had salt lamp tea light holder candles… they melted

[@adventuresforthemasses7025]

Yes! A diesel heater is game changing.

[@buckfiden1776]

[@danandtab7463]

this may be my favorite video so far. something about it was very immersive. Also, my baby son was sitting with me being cranky until I turned this video on, and when you came on screen, he started smiling and laughing and stayed glued to the screen the whole time. So you clearly have a new fan.

[@nwjohn]

Propane doesn’t emit CO2 until it is burned. Raw propane doesn’t have a smell, that’s why they add the smell to it, so it can be detected if you have a leak. Get the wiring fixed in the camper and use the heater that’s built in, it’s way safer and cheaper to run than that buddy heater. Great video, i miss that area.

[@Rose-kp4ow]

You have a beautiful soul ❤️ Thanks for sharing, I loved your video 😊

[@veetour]

The music was on point in this video. Also, I think travelling to Yellowstone is awesome in the off season.

[@williamfuller2389]

I hope you're not intending to use the Buddy heater while sleeping and here's why. It is a low-pressure unit requiring an integrated regulator. Those one pound propane bottles deliver high pressure propane, around 250 PSI. Campstoves, lanterns, and the Buddy heaters utilize low-pressure propane at around 15 PSI. I, personally, prefer bulk tanks and hose setup but definitely use the fuel filter they make to prevent the oils leaching from the hose to gum up the Low Oxygen Shutoff and prevent the heater to light. Learned the hard way on this as well. If and when those regulators fail, a fire could ensue. I've seen it happen twice but was able to quickly extinguish them.

[@danielschear556]

Also "the Buddy heater" works far less efficiently at higher elevations such as in Yellowstone. This probably accounts for the CO alarm sounding.

[@williamfuller2389]

@@danielschear556 According to their website, absent from any messaging on their product packaging, is a notification that the heater is not for use above 7000 ft. It's Low Oxygen sensor system would hinder it's ability to operate in such low oxygen environment. Personally, I've been able to use it in areas slightly above that threshold.

That was definitely a raven watching you. They are huge. While backpacking down in Grand Canyon last week, the ravens were destroying people's rat sacks containing their food and they were able to unzip packs and tents to carry away items they thought were interesting. Yellowstone is absolutely stunning in the snow. Great shot of the bear.

[@JonnyDIY]

The high altitude and cold weather will affect the heating output quite a bit. You can change the orifice on the stove for higher altitudes. And the Carbon Monoxide detector can sometimes go off from humidity or cold weather even. Propane heater will put off a lot of moisture too 🤙

[@motogirlz101]

I love how you don’t curse. Even when you couldn’t open the window, you didn’t swear. That is very admirable and rare these days. Keep up the wonderful work and stay safe! I think the Buddy heater caused the CO monitor.

18:35 Check the battery. CO doesn't form from a gas leak, just gas combustion. ... As others said, check the manual. Usually CO detectors make a real ruckus when they go off, so if you're dozing off (b/c CO makes you sleepy) it can wake you. ... Also, most batteries don't function as good as normal when temperature is below freezing.

[@mjremy2605]

This is a lovely camper, and its surprisingly spacious inside while compact outside. Very nice and cozy. Those are not crows, but ravens. The country cousin of the city crow. Crows depend on humans, but ravens do not. The photography was splendid. I really enjoyed seeing Yellowstone in November. So deathly still and crystalline. Although you have no crowds in the off season, it is dangerous to have no one around, no ranger that knows you are in there, no campground, all in the dead of winter. Extreme weather can make a lot of things go wrong. Trust nothing to work. If you get stuck, you can die easily. I would not do what you are doing this late in the year. Not for Yellowstone. It can go from pleasant to very scary in a few hours. Do you have traction boards for your wheels if you get snowed in? Some tips for your safety: Don't hit a frozen window unless you want to shatter the glass. Propane heater on the floor next to a seat cushion? Propane heat will create a lot of moisture inside the cabin during the night, as it burns. Also CO2. You need a diesel heater - dry and no CO2. This is very unsafe. Propane creates CO2 which is why your detector went off. Good test that it works! Best to have more than one heater in these snowed in places. Get a diesel heater, keep the Buddy propane heater, and get also a Butane heater called Kavua - small and mighty. Buy butane cans at Asian stores. Your windows are letting in a lot of cold air through the glass pane. You need to make magnetic insulated window covers with Thinsulate, Reflectix, and quilted material. Rubber backed curtains on top of that. They sell little insulated pillows for your hatch as well at Camping World. Love your curtain fabric, by the way! To tenderize meat, get papain extract and rub on it. Tenderize with a mallet. Wait half hour then cook. Cook your aromatic herbs in olive oil in pan first, then add crushed garlic and some onions to caramelize, then steak. I make my own steak rub with Creole (like Cajun but richer) spices, a bit of sea salt. This will be so good on any meat, fish, steak, pork chop, calamari. Rub, sear, done. Eat your veggies!!!! Veggies are the cornerstone of good health. Make a fresh salad, always good. Good recipe for travel is to slow cook a medley of veggies in season - cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, swiss chard, zucchini, eggplant, etc. Throw them all in a pot chopped up, add garlic, onion, Herbes de Provence or any spices and simmer into a nice warm stew. Serve with meat. You are always guaranteed a warm veggie stew or soup on your travels. Do not just eat meat this is not healthy. Did you forget the levelers under your wheels? Oh no!!

Hey, so with the cast iron pan you have to remember the pan is stored in a cupboard where it is cold, so heating the pan for a few minutes will not make it searing hot.
