Sadie has a keen sense for what's lurking about. Amazing how dogs and cats can see hear an smell what we usually miss. She's a good protector.

[@raktoda707]

Actually,dreamy footage of being away from it all That Bluetti seems to be the answer, a Godsend in it's own right..That Sadie is so precious,a little puppies disguised as a sleek protector.The best of both worlds.

[@grimalkin5706]

That Bluetti is amazing! That must be a relief for you to be able to run everything in the RV with that!

[@markshelhart8338]

$4800 dollars sale price for that combo, ought to be pretty amazing.

[@oneforchrist7446]

What a beautiful way to wake up! The rain sounds wonderful, I can't even hear it when in my house. Thank you for this video!

[@WingmanNation]

Love the sound of rain, so relaxing. Great video 😊

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Hi Carolyn 🙋‍♀️ You're so brave walking knowing there was a bear 🐻 in the area 😮 Glad you partnered with Bluetti 😊❤ Thanks for sharing &stay safe ❤️😊

[@shelleywalker6225]

Nice video of you hanging out at your campsite. I realize the rain was inconvenient for you, but it really did sound relaxing. I love watching Sadie. She is so smart and beautiful.

[@deborahkelley4719]

Sadies like a little human, when you talk to her. She responds to your voice. Blessings 🙏 from VA

[@CarolynsRVLife]

So true!

[@susanblack7782]

Hi Carolyn! Sadie is always on duty, listening and watching. I just love her!

[@blanetalk]

I'm so glad to know that Sadie does such a good job looking out for you.

[@padmepadme]

We still love our Bluetti we bought recently... after seeing/listening to your review of the Bluetti you use at your RV. Thanks dearly for helping us find a great battery power station: Bluetti.

[@cargotrailereric6738]

We are so blessed to witness such beautiful scenery with a dog company. I had to keep mine leashed most of the time in cimeron canyon , lots of bears getting fat for winter.

[@JulieTobin-Ruszczyk]

That looks so nice, in the rain all warm and cozy you and your best friend 💘

[@bettybrigance6784]

Love sleeping in my van when it rains...you girls look great and happy...that bear sounds big ! Be safe and keep going..

[@Patty5825]

That's why Carolyn is admired: She's fearless! I know we're on wild life's territory, when we camp. I can't help but to think about those who have encountered bears, and met their fate. You'll just never know what mood the animals are in. Carolyn and Sadie, walk around, as if they own the camp grounds. 🤣

[@martinep6293]

Bears are probably less temperamental than campers. Last week I could not believe it I had to "defend" bears from stupid campers. I have hiked those trails alone for a week and a half. Not a bear in sight. Campers show up, bears sighting...they get scared, they call rangers. Ranger feels obliged to try and chase the bear away using small pellets (bb gun type, just smaller). Hello, you are camping in bear food. They close the trails??? I hike these trails every single day and now I am "grounded"?? Actually the tourists hoped they would use LEAD. I am from Texas too but I know, it appears to get along fine with bears. They do not want to meet you, they just want food (no, not you😂)

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Love the sound of rain

[@texaslady7630]

Thanks Carolyn and Sadie! Love the solar power machine. Enjoyed the video as always.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maryswanson9982]

I love camping in the rain! The air smells so fresh and pure. I don’t mind getting a little wet. That generator is incredible! I hate our gas generator, too. It stinks and it’s loud.

[@martinep6293]

I purchased a Bluetti 3 years ago (just 1500 watts). I am on the road full time. Doing just fine with 100 watt pannel. Of course I am a minimalist. My minivan is a "hard sided tent" not a house. I will never buy an RV. A bigger van yes in order to accomodate a furry companion and camp in Yellowstone in Winter. For a full size van 3000 Watts will be fine for me. I am very strict about not having unnecessary stuff adding weight and taxing my vehicle in altitude (10, 000 feet plus) especially in summer. I like my cars to remain like new for 30 years😂.

[@Carol-qi6me]

I love this video for lots of reasons. I’d loved your product endorsement. It was not only informative but it feels like that’s something that anybody could use. Especially happy that you get to run your AC.😁…. The scenery are pretty to the close-ups of the flowers . lol….Bear feet? Oh it was your bare feet 🤣 Much love 💜✌🏽

[@padmepadme]

Wow, a bear oh my! Amazing Sadie heard the bear as Sadie was looking out the opened, screened window. I've heard moose require caution, too. You and Sadie certainly lead a very adventurous life together. It's obvious you both love and protect each other. You are a lucky woman, Carolyn. Stay safe and happy and free.

[@MooniiplaitsCrochet]

Well done, Sadie. She's such an intelligent dog.

[@havenonwheels5158]

So happy you’ve partnered with bluetti. Preparing for hurricane Lee this week. Fun video as usual. Sadie is always on guard. Hugs to you both!

[@casitacathi]

Bluetti has made off grid living less complicated for so many people. I need to get one too. 🤞

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yes! I'm loving my Bluetti products 😍

[@lauramorris2663]

Hope you've got $4800 when you're ready to pull the trigger.

[@derylbenoit13]

Thanks for sharing hope you're having a wonderful day say something.😊

[@m.d.grimes1622]

Nice video Carolyn, thanks.😁😁😎😎👍👍

[@coyoterosenbaum9186]

It's absolutely beautiful where you are staying at!!❤❤❤⁰

[@sky02148]

I got to see a bear in my camp before. I wouldn't get out of the car when I could see it. The ranger had to come and relocate it a few days later. One time, I saw a moose on the side of the road. I got out and took a picture of that. It was beautiful and scary at the same time. Thanks for sharing. Love ya, Nancy

[@craftytraveler9238]

thanks for the video. I like the new upholstery on your chair

[@thizizliz]

WOW. Sure was a pretty place and I love that the bear was afraid of Sadie's bark! Ooh, your new power source looks smaller than the generator too - bonus! Safe, reliable, cleaner energy for the win. Rock on Carolyn. P.S. this is one of the prettiest places you've camped.

[@farawayroaming]

HI,Carolyn you and sadie both is so lovely. Always be careful ❤❤

[@Patrick_Ross]

Please send some of that beautiful rain to the Pacific Northwest! We are parched!

[@annieyahu676]

❤Beautiful country. Your right haha, just put ur bathing suit on and a little campers soap and stand outside for ur rain shower heehee. Sadie is precious ❤

[@janicepeck4828]

Carolyn, Flowers , I too like calidiums too to perk up rv. Those pink butter cups ,wildflowers perk my spirits any time. Great colors from your camera. Greetings from OKLAHOMA🤩

[@carolynhoover9444]

Carolyn, you are braver than I am. I can handle coyotes but a bear? Nope😮

[@PEDALSnPROJECTS]

Glad you didn't get lightening on your walk 😊

[@CreepyCharlie]

A little bit of 100%Deet on a rag/paper towel on those headlight lenses buffed in and rinsed would make the headlights look crystal clear and new.

[@rhondatraywick3724]

WoW that’s some rain! We could use some here! Enjoy!!!😁

[@tinacourtright3863]

When I see a small black bear I have to assume a mama bear is nearby! Super-caution needed

[@pursleydl2009]

I love Bluetti. I bought the 200 W for my electronics while camping from my Durango. All I needed. It is the easiest, no fuss system I could find.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I agree. I've been very impressed with all their products I'm using!

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Loved this video❣❣ Love the rain, my fav❣❣ Awesome bluetti system!!

[@ellensaccoia1151]

I'm enjoying your time in the Adirondacks. I am from Utica, NY and I miss visiting Saranac Lake, Old Forge, Saratoga Springs, and Watertown.

[@budgetwithfatima6530]

Loved to see the rain 🌧, here in California it’s hot 🥵

[@user-bq9es8ut5e]

Hi Carolyn and Sadie,Sadie is such a good girl, taking care of mama Carolyn in a nice rainy 🌧 day.

[@eleanorcramer7986]

Glad bear didn’t pop out while walking the road

[@TomWagemaker]

Most people don’t have $3,000 to $4,000 to splurge on a solar generator and panels. Especially compared to a 2500W duel fuel generator for a little over $600 that takes up less space.

[@martinep6293]

As long as they are not the noisy ones...totally offensive, I wont camp near those. Alaska, different issue.

[@TomWagemaker]

@@martinep6293, I have a 4,000w onboard Nan, but it’s pretty loud. So I got a 2,500w duel fuel Champion that’s pretty quiet. I plan to use just propane, too.

[@lcostantino7931]

WOW NICE....AC

[@CarolynsRVLife]

So nice

[@felicefiore6783]

You’re both very brave. I don’t know what I might do in u situation. Stay safe ✌️♥️🇨🇦

[@charlesjarrell9454]

I’d be looking outnfor mama bear

[@Toltecgrl]

Sadie is sick of the rain she wants to be running around in the forest lol

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

Tjis is relaxing like a sleel video

[@KatMac5]

I live in the city. New neighbors special garage appropriated 20 years ago for golf cart storage (his third garage) is 30 feet from my whole living area. He now is running some sort of ...mmm... engine... I think it is a idleing pump of some sort. I am getting used to the sound, but not the weird chemical smell when he uses it with chemicals. sigh. Glad you have found an alternative. And I get notices from the HOA for trying to make a visual barrier (that the neighbor approved) from his work area where he works on antique car finishes.. sigh. If I knew how to drive... I would consider Van life.

[@larryclark5355]

Be Very Careful if you encounter several days of bad weather you lose your solar charge. Also in winter you will have less charge time,your Bluetti lost almost half in 2 hours so nights are longer than that. People are being told to expect infinite power out of solar generators but ,sadly, that is not true so keep your generator just in case.

[@user-js9gn2hw9s]

SADIE..GORGEOUS AS EVER! OOOOH, WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE NICE BOHO TILES ON YOUR KITCHEN WALL?THAT LOOKS SO GOOOOOD....EVERYTHING TIES IN SO NICELY. NICE JOB!

[@sleepycalico]

I wouldn't go bear hunting -- because I wouldn't want to find a bear! Good girl, Sadie! My good girl, Orca, sleeps with me on a bed with the headboard pushed up to the window, open for the night breeze. Her early warning senses told her a raccoon (turned out to be a big male) wanted to come in. Orca (kitty, black on top, white on the bottom) leapt onto the window sill, hissed, popped it on the nose, and sent it back to the ground, all before I fully grasped what was happening. Good girl, top predator of the living room! Lots and lots of praise. lol

[@judyclark8653]

All this with a screen on your window or just open? Too funny.

[@sleepycalico]

just open. Long ago there was a cat-sized hole in the screen from where she had lunged at a moth, which gradually frayed bigger and bigger, so now it is just an open window. 😁@@judyclark8653

[@judyclark8653]

Its the same thing here - the other day it wasn’t supposed to rain until 7pm and we got buckets around 3…It’s beautiful there - did Sadie see the bear? Would she stop from chasing it if you called her? Can you show us the ingredients on that plant protein powder sometime - thanks!

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

I would never let my dog run if I know for sure there is a bear or moose around or even the possibility of one. That just me I guess. The place looks amazing, where is it!

[@ronnyfoulk1858]

Thank you!!! Always enjoy your episodes.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Ronny

Lots of fun wild animal smells for Sadie

[@zowie740]

Love channel. Need a new generator on rv. How much is that blue etty both. Txs😊

[@Dashbshots]

Bears often will not just run far away. They may run quickly out of sight and then sit and watch. They really can't afford to use the calories to just run and run. Soon they will be trying to put on weight for winter. While riding an atv years ago, a bear ran across the dirt road in front of me. It just went off the road and was watching me. I took a turn into a driveway and it ran across the driveway in front of me again. The bear might have been attracted to something with a strong smell at your site. Black bear attacks seem to be on the rise a little. Like the guy that was sitting by a fire drinking coffee in Arizona and a black bear killed him. Older bears might be more desperate for food. There's also that slight chance that it could have rabies. So it would be best to put your dog on a leash if you know an animal is in the area. Just in case the dog doesn't want to listen to the come command while it's in a excited state of mind.

[@RVG9]

You so lovingly dry off your dog. It’s obvious you too love each other. Great to see.

[@MBMCincy63]

With the way the climate is changing I would consider getting a back up power source- like this. Thank you for always giving an honest review and good suggestions to help oneself out. I know that rain is not a great camping atmosphere, but I REALLY enjoyed hearing the sound of it on the RV... shivering black bell thumbs up. heart.

[@galenmctripper7223]

Last month you talked about why lots of people are quitting RV life.. You mentioned that it is a project for you and some others, embarking in RV life…. How about a twist to it all and start a totally new and different project - like tour the world.. Whether you do it in an RV or fly, touring the world and staying in different countries for some length of time (rather than quick turn arounds), and immersing in their culture … Would that be something you might want to do next ? Just a thought…

[@martinep6293]

Carolyn is not in RV life?

[@judyclark8653]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what do you mean by plugging the Bluetti into “the wall” to charge it - at an electric hook up? (If there is no sun) I’m thinking about buying an older Class B RV without a generator, and they are noisy anyway, so looking at options. You said you ran it for an hour with A/C and it used up 50%, so does that mean the longest you could run your A/C would be 2 hours? Not all nite? Thanks

[@lcostantino7931]

lol have to put coats on my dogs to make them go out to pee.nooo mater the heat.....lol....

[@lcostantino7931]

lol sounds like what I listen to every nite to fall asleep.....hugs.....from former NY ER Hudson valley.....now in Nashville GA....yup more than one....n don't ask how I got here.....lol

[@cbryce9243]

Hi Carolyn, I need to PM you about an email change, is there a way to do that? The Bluetti 1800 arrived about two weeks ago but I didn't pull it out of the box until yesterday. There is no way I could afford the ones you showed today, but I am glad they are coming up with more and more choices. I didn't read all about it before it came so I was happy that there was a 12V and home charging ability with it. I'm leaving near the end of the month; I am so excited! Sadie such a sweet girl and a good warning system! 🐕💌

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I don't know what you mean by an email change? I don't have anyone's email? Unless you mean for my newsletter, then you can go to my website and enter your new email and then opt out the next time you get an email from me at the old one: CarolynsRVLife.com

[@barbveenstra8625]

At 4;20 I have already watched 4;30 of adds I could not skip. A bit excessive don't you think!! And then 4:30 min of Bluetti adds...give us a break!!

I am so jealous of you, in a very good way! Yiu are so brave! I want to do what you do so bad, but no one supports the idea, at all!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

The only person who needa.to support the idea is you . Just do it! 🙃😉

[@enough1494]

Thnaks! Courage I need the courage! Lol@@CarolynsRVLife

[@Sharkurash]

I've been trying to talk the other half into investing in a bluetti system. Enough to power our necessities during a power outage that could last a few days. I mean I could plug it in and charge it up on off peak time and have it ready to go. The way our power company has had issues lately, and a lot of outages in areas even in good weather, it seems like something we could use. But we live in a condo and the solar panels would not be approved. The plugging in and powering up would work for us though.

[@cbryce9243]

Meteorologist do have a good gig going for real! What other work can you get paid great money for and be wrong so often! I need to PM you about an email change, is there a way to do that? Maybe in my next life if I have to come back here...

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I know right??? LOL

[@agr8h2o]

👍👍👍

[@martinep6293]

I am on the road for 2 reasons: hiking and photography. When you are alone in nature animals come to you they are curious. I had a coyote not even a yard away. But bears are shy and very risk averse. 3 years hiking in bear country alone on trails with bear tracks and not a single bear encounter. Bear attacks are a people problem. Would be campers are so ignorant having done no research these people are a danger to bears and people like me. Thankfully bears are smarter than them.

[@lisak720]

Advice please? I’m tired of renting and don’t get along with landlords, but limited on income! How would someone get a life like this started and now with winter approaching it’s maybe not good time? Living a depressing life? Thanks!

[@joanneepps1750]

I have a Jackery, but i want your generator instead. I'm taking care of tiny humans with special needs, and i cant afford for the power to go out.

[@thepast8376]

$5,000.00 for A?C?

[@CarolynsRVLife]

5000 to run your entire Rv or house. You'd spend more than that on a solar install to give you this much power

[@kissitnow898]

Definitely pricey... unless you get one for free 😳
