Backcountry Exploring & Acclimation To Mini Skoolie Life - Podcast

As you can see in the podcast, we were a little sleepy after non stop work combined with strenuous hikes in the backcountry. With that said, I'm not complaining, just sharing the realities of our life on the road and sharing why we might seem a little low energy! In this podcast we share our latest adventures, some thoughts on balancing working, and answering a few submitted questions.

I don't know about doggy bug repellant but don't forget your heartworm preventatives ❤

[@round51]

Wow I remember when you first got Kobuk. Time flies. Hehe but then I’m pushing 70 🤔 yikes but I figure I’m gonna live another 70 😏✌️🖖 Have to add, change is inevitable, maintain a heightened sense of situational awareness.

[@theoffgridskoolie]

Yep, for sure! Cheers to another 70!

Peppermint essential oil mixed with rosemary essential oil and water is my natural bug repellent!!!!! Works well for me

[@jacquelineg3987]

You two are such good storytellers. Thanks! Love following you both ❤ Many blessings to you both

[@theoffgridskoolie]

Thanks so much!

[@MountainGirlwIPA]

Hey one of my favorite female van lifers. ❤ New sub. Btw that's how my dog learned he liked to swim.

[@theoffgridskoolie]

That's awesome!

Chris is right about just get on the road. I started with a love truck with a shell on it and bed in back with a cabinet. All my stuff would go into the cab when I would sleep. That was in 73. I have had 5 different rigs and I find you really don’t need much. Now I have a built out old sprinter and carry a dual sport on back. Things have really changed over the years. I feel I have been everywhere in the US, but still so much more. YALL ARE BOTH GREAT. I really ENJOY YOUR ADVENTURES.

Currently in Maine and the bags are brutal. We have a bunch of Thermacells that work well with mosquitos.

[@jacquieh9428]

If you haven’t been, Silverton Colorado is such a beautiful place to go. Miles of roads up into the mountains and you can camp anywhere. Magnificent mountains and rivers. ❤Stay safe and take care

[@theoffgridskoolie]

Thanks for the tips!

I LOVE Christian’s videos! Such beautiful footage❤

[@jsmith7820]

Hi guys! Love you both and you're videos - watching here in New Zealand 😊 I use citronella to keep flying bugs away, either candles or small oil burners. Not sure about the US but here I can get a citronella and permethrin oil for my small burner, works great for spaces and even round the campfire 👍 you would need to store it away from the pups of course because it should never be ingested. Really looking forward to your back country vids with your new lens Linnea!!

[@babygirlgibbs]

My husband and I both loved the picture of Linnea with the pups on the rock. You should get that framed. Thanks for the vlog chat and updates.😘❤❤❤🐾❤🐾

[@brendakersey8624]

Excellent catch up! Awesome to hear stories about the shorts we've seen! Can't wait till next podcast! p.s....sky raisins (flies), will not harm the pups! Ignore those that say they do.

[@lilwoolf9256]

Avon SKIN SO SOFT. I put some in my hands and rub it on my Husky. Really helps!! Doesn't take much. I got it at a flea market. For humans & pets.❤🐶

[@caroline70485]

Yay, perfect timing..just came on and here you guys are 🎉❤

[@trail_name_angel]

You can use permethrin on dogs.

[@douglasw804]

Use a zaper called the exterminator it works fantastic.

[@sherriberkley188]

Linnea, I use ZONK IT! 35, controls Fleas, Ticks, for 35 days. Get it at the farm store here in Kansas. Can use on horses too, waterbase formula w/lanolin & aloe. Ingredients permethrin 50% and other ingredients 99.5%

[@theoffgridskoolie]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@capricreech9562]

I use Wondercide to spray on my dog for bugs in general but for all of you I would love to learn any anti mosquito suggestions lol

[@melrescuebar7496]

Nutritional yeast, it's a natural flea, tic & mosquito deterrent. It's not 100% for all dogs/ cats but it is for others. It's also a whole protein. It's used to make vegan cheese and has a "meaty" flavor that pets love. 🙂 *Make sure your pet doesn't have a yeast allergy.

[@bettygatlin6580]

Dollar Tree sells clip on dragonflies. Flies and mosquitoes won't come near you and your dogs. 👍

[@michelleellis8201]

What about of mosquito head nets for all 4 of you? I’ve seen other KZbin folks up in Alaska at the Arctic use them on themselves and their dog.

[@jknocal]

LETTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@chris847m]

I’ve heard vanilla extract works on humans might be something to try.

[@ashleyanderson3701]

One of these days I'd love to do a video chat about builds and van living with a toddler. Would that ever be possible?

[@shuper2010]

Hi guys!!!!!!!!!!

[@NoProGoPronto]

First! Haha, I've always wanted to do that

[@theoffgridskoolie]

You've never done that yet!? haha

[@jackieporter517]

Get some walkie-talkie

[@KimKreiss-qo3os]

Do you get fishing licenses in each state you travel?

[@theoffgridskoolie]

Yes, sadly. No national license.

[@KimKreiss-qo3os]

@@theoffgridskoolie wondered if you just asked forgiveness later kinda thing. Ever been asked to show your license in the back country?

[@sherriberkley188]

Letting the dogs EAT flies, gives the dogs worms
