car camping in -19 degrees

[@NWgirlstuckinFL]

Rosa: You’re my new favorite YT channel. Thanks for posting all your adventures. You’re giving me some confidence to venture out & are showing that it even can be done in extremely cold weather. 🥶👏👏💕

[@lifeinmyelement]

Ahhh thank you! That honestly means so much ❤️ I hope you get out and have all the adventures!

[@glenndobry7357]

Do you keep your windows cracked for ventilation to control moisture? I’m about to start my car life journey and your videos are super inspiring!!

[@M.Freedom]

Stunning sunrise…🇦🇺🦋💜

[@elliothagen9874]

Instead of using 2 sleeping bags. You should have a sleeping bag that goes to -20. Also as a precaution an electric blanket & a sleeping bag liner.

[@isabelfernandes778]

[@MichaelBouchicas]

Get a sleeping bag that is made for -40 degrees they have them in cold weather camping stores.

I know that sound of crunchy snow…that means its COLD!

LoL I have a pair of winter gloves I use just for camp cooking. They stay in my kitchen tote just exactly for that reason, onion gloves suck in enclosed areas. 😂

You need to get a box of rubber cloves, so you can keep your hands warm while you cook. Then you just throw them away …..from DW

Oddly enough this made me really regret not spending more time with my aunt who passed. Great vid as always

[@leilal8053]

Why not get a pair of lined rubber 🧤 GLOVES and wear them over a lightweight knit pair 4cooking.? Sorry, but you are driving me crazy: Use a Napkin!😮 Suggestion #2: Get a collapsible 12v kettle....fill it b4 going 2 bed so it's ready in the morning . If it's frozen....it will melt once you plug it in! 😊

You need to get a Chinese diesel heater installed

[@anthonysinclair5721]

Here on Vancouver Island I think the coldest I've experienced is about +1 or 2 F let alone sleeping in it! 🧊 😎

[@ajsantana8780]

alron needs a 820cc or so battery for the winter up there.

[@Kevin-o8g4i]

You should invest in a jackary solar system, then you could use a small heater or a electric blanket that would keep you so much warmer...please always be safe out there..hugs from Halifax nova Scotia Canada ❤

I like the way you speak about your family, mittens from Aunt Martha and the blanket from your mom, it is obvious that they support your journey👍👍🤗❤️

[@wenzbee197]

This is so helpful. I live in New Zealand and have been waiting for the weather to turn from winter to spring to start my adventure but watching this made me realise our weather is nothing compared to this and I can do it too.

[@lifeinmyelement]

I don't know much about New Zealand weather but as long as you have the right gear, you should be okay ❤️ a good sleeping bag is key!

That looks too cold to do. I was wishing you had a diesel heater.

Rose their are done great KZbinrs online that have great setups in their vehicle to help not have to use your car engine to keep warm that was very cold experience for me watching you freeze maybe a heated blanket could help until then KZbin is like free university to learn and grow love the video thank you for not dying out there take care God bless!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@lifeinmyelement]

I actually wasn't that cold, I have a really good sleeping bag! And I kinda like keeping my setup as minimal as possible. Since I don't have solar panels or anything like that, it's tough to use any type of heating source!

maybe downgrade the size for cooking and cook in the back of your car electric blanket also

[@lifeinmyelement]

Unfortunately, I don't have any type of power system besides my car charger port. So running an electric blanket all night is not really an option!

[@brucealsaker5504]

@@lifeinmyelement yes, just use your normal battery and buy a jumper fpr like 70 bucks to jump it in the morning. also get a spencer like Jackey.

[@guyb7008]

You are the Real Deal. Much respect. But. You may want to look into leaving your car running more often, even all night Im pretty sure there is no harm in that at all and it will only use a tiny bit of fuel. After all Truckers basically do what you are doing but every day year round. They all run their engines all night. Some have an APU that is just a small engine that runs to provide heat and AC. Anyway Imma bet you are going places with these videos, you're the whole package and we will remember when "back in the day" you were able to write so many replies. Thank you you're fun!

[@lifeinmyelement]

Honestly, you are probably right. Especially when it gets below 0°F. Elrond (my car) definitely struggles in very cold weather, so I'll take your advice into consideration!

[@darrylmcginty1296]

We used to have a little ford transit connect before we got our sprinter, and we ran that little thing all night hundreds of times. Not gonna hurt it one bit, just need to change the oil more frequently. The sprinter has a diesel heater which is really the way to go.

Great video and great channel! Just stumbled across this in reccomened after this video was posted and watched all the vids lol, I’m curious as to how you maintain this lifestyle, especially since you started over 4 years ago, did you do KZbin before ? Just curious as I’m hoping to get out of 9-5 soon

[@lifeinmyelement]

Great question. It's a long and rambling answer! Basically I never went to college, worked 3 jobs for 4 years, saved a bunch of money. Now I travel and do seasonal work at different National parks! And I guess youtube now as well 😊 I highly recommend seasonal work (check out coolworks) it's a great way to see awesome places but still make money
