Car Camping in Heavy Rain

[@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919]

When I was growing up I had an Australian shepherd named Blueberry. She lived 20 years and was the most amazing dog I ever owned.

[@annarodriguez6808]

Oh Blue 💙 is a blessing. Enjoy every minute because life is short. I miss my pet that passed away and would never complain about her, ever.

[@Enlightened77777]

As long as they are with you, fed and loved they don’t care where they are. ❤

[@jons7677]

Your dog is happy where ever you are, as long as he can be with you. 😉

[@katietaylor3525]

Oh man! That rain coat for Blu is adorable 💙

[@treelimbtlc]

Maria,, every time I watch you, I'm amazed of what you are able to accomplish. You are such an inspiration to just get out and do it, adapt and have fun. It's fun to see you laugh at everything no matter how it turns out. Inspires us to be be calm as well. As the saying goes, "Be calm and be Maria".

[@roamingreckless]

You’re so sweet! 🥺

[@alanmay1945]

At 11:38, to open those jars real easy, put a spoon to the lid edge and lever it up, to release the vacuum in the jar, then the lid turns very easily to undo. Simple when you know how! Best wishes from England, where the weather's always like it is there in your video, don't get me started! x

[@Fran23NY]

I love that you’re so passionate about your dog

[@davidemm829]

He's happy cause he has YOU..simple..😃

[@cliffpearce9043]

Well I am a chef, so here's my advice to you it's a good idea to always keep a separate canister propane with a single torch head for it, that way when you're done cooking something and in your case the cheese didn't melt or you want a crispy top without burning the bottom of whatever it is that you're making including desserts but you want the top melted or crispy, just take your trusty propane torch, light it and go over it back and forth until the cheese is melted or until it's crispy like you like it that goes for anything Pizza desserts anything that you cook 💯🇺🇲💯🇺🇲💯🇺🇲💯🇺🇲💯🇺🇲, and yes I am Italian

[@UTeeNye]

You are down to earth and very genuine. You express how you feel. I have seen some fake personalities on other overlanding travel youtube channels. When i am bored i will tune in to your channel. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@menwaralanazi47]

May all your campings be safe , enjoyable and serene 🙏👍🙏

[@heavysighs]

Me: I'm just sitting in my car eating and car camping watching you and Blue car camping. Seems normal. 😂 Nice 🍕!

[@bigbbigb2549]

Hearing the name Blue brought back memories of my dog Blue. American Pitbull Terrier. Cancer sadly took him away.

[@nothingspecific.8119]

I'm a huge fan of the channel! You're an inspiration to me , as I am starting my car camping life in November! Stay safe!... P.S. My dog Blue, says woof to your dog Blue!😆🐶

[@roamingreckless]

Thanks so much!

[@judymurray191]

I’m proud of you too. That pizza looks amazing! And your giggle is infectious!

[@sergiovalenti7255]

I like rain too. Blue is a great travel companion.

[@clearsailing7993]

Little doggie gets more love than most people do!

[@unknownsender6852]

The bestiality in society today is mad cringe

[@RebelViking912]

Blue is definitely the star of the show! He’s awesome. Pizza looked good!

[@eljay1092]

Just a heads up, pre-shredded cheese is usually covered in cornstarch to keep it from sticking together in the bag; which also keeps it from melting easily or seamlessly on pizza. The best kind of cheese is block cheese that you shred yourself. 😊

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

Hello fellow traveler! (travelers) I just wanted to let you know what I found! I know it's not summertime but if you've ever heard of the company "arctic air" you know sometimes their stuff is ok but not great, well, I found a handheld cooler that is rechargeable! For car campers I think it's going to work and all you gotta do is recharge it and it lasts anywhere from 8-12hrs depending on speed you use! I just tried it today and so far so good...I'm not in a car yet but I've used it in my car this morning for my run arounds. I definitely need probably 3 or 4 of them, they are small but w/them on you directly, you could definitely get yourself and your car cooler! They run about $20 and i bet you can find them online too, I found them at walmart...def going to buy more!

[@kimsaggio5637]

That pizza looks pretty amazing. That rain sounds so relaxing.

[@danielnewman3370]

I have never made a pizza from a car before. Great one. You and Blue enjoy your journey.

[@kevincrooks639]

Just discovered your channel. I've also got an 07 outback with a manual transmission, cracked windshield and a camper build out. Except, I had To pull the front passenger seat for the bed. I'm 6'3" and it just wasn't gonna work. Pizza on cast iron is the best. Especially on the back under the tailgate.

[@mayasilliman1465]

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep you and Blue from your walk! How awesome is that? Dog gone that pizza looks good.

[@MoongoddessRising]

Blu is soo cute. Fly in paradise 🕊

[@LuigiBull33]

16:11 Blue is all like "Heck yeah this is the life mofos!" 🤣

[@truckcampinglife]

When I get groceries I just open the back door and they are there waiting for me. Just an fyi, cast iron will hold the heat longer than normal cookware. So when you cook don't cook on high because you will burn things.

[@davidford2169]

Great to watch you both enjoying your adventures!! Respect from Dave in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@simplybeingme]

Oatmeal saves the day! Yesss! 😂

[@biznello1]

Funny, charming and educational, you are the complete package...fan for life..TY Maria😍

[@roystephens1534]

LOL !!! Watching you and you're dog reminds me of a song I really like, Me and you and a dog named Blue !!! It's also wonderful Watching you cook !!! LOL Great stuff !!!

[@eagleflyfree3116]

OMG..FN LOVE YOU AND BLUE...He is totally loving everything..❤👍

[@StoopsThereItIs]

I love how you’re willing to try something you’ve never done before without fear on camera.

[@briancclevenger]

Cast iron is really easy to clean up, most times just wipe out with a dry paper towel. Another great thing about cast iron is you can make toast in it, just butter both of sides of the bread, on low heat, jelly and you're there. When it's time to season your cast iron, grab some grapeseed oil (low smoke when heated), put about 3 tablespoons in and heat over medium until hot. Then pour out oil (I use an old can) take a paper towel and "carefully" wipe the remaining oil around the inside until coated. Since you don't have an oven, heat your skillet over the lowest heat for ten minutes covered. Turn off heat, leave covered for 2 hours and when cool, wipe remaining oil out with dry paper towel. That's it, it should be good now until you cook something that dry's the coating, then just wipe and repeat in a month or two the seasoning instruction's. There are lots of cooking in cast iron while camping video's that'll have the Italian chef in you coming out before you know it. Awesome work on your first time pizza in a cast iron skillet can't wait to see what's the next chapter in Maria and Blue's adventures. Take care and stay safe.

[@A.TAYLOR]

That’s all it’s been doing here lately where I am is raining and I’ve been taking full advantage of it. The rain is so soothing to my soul. This video almost put me to sleep but in a good way 😊❤

[@andrewwhelan2669]

Did you get the pupper some new tennis balls ? Oh , is the tire fixed ,

[@Jackie2149]

Your pizza looked pretty good. Seems like oatmeal saved the day. Blue in his raincoat was so cute. Stay safe.😎

[@myoverlandingjourney]

Yo! I dig Blue’s rain coat.

[@78twood]

Hey! Just found your channel! Decided to tag along on your adventure 💜

[@bryanbirney2866]

I only watch for the end cuddling with the dog, very cozy atmosphere.

[@felixcat9455]

Channel is growing!

[@terryqueen3233]

you now have an old man following you don't look behind you LOL! yeah I'm an old man but looks like you're having fun so I'll follow you for a while. oh yes your dog loves you if anyone can't tell that they are really blind. a gal after my own heart I love the rain I love the cold I love the outdoors. have fun see you in your next adventure.

[@jasonjones5213]

I love your cooking videos.The pizza looked good.

[@SimplelifeCo]

We use pita bread for our pizza crust when in the woods in cast iron skillet! Tj my gsp loves it as well as long as we don’t have onions or garlic, he goes crazy for the crust. Try out Twin lakes sometimes not far from Leadville also Leadville has a pizza place to die for called high mountain pies. Have fun and be safe.

[@mikeydog1000]

Oh Blue😢😮😢 I miss you so much😢😢😢. He was such a wonderful bubbe.

[@lifemyway200]

That pizza looked bomb!! But also, Blue had me enraptured with his facial expressions. He is the cutest. Getting my Hyundai Accent ready for little day trips. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada so the weather is already turning. Hope I can get a couple overnights in before it gets too cold for my Yorkie!

[@susiealamillo5140]

I love the your fur baby loves you unconditionally ❤️ bub is the cutest in the rain coat. You are 2 peas in a pod. Forever. .. ohh I love you videos thank you.

[@Hylan_]

Blues so cute he smiles when you let him cuddle with you 👀

[@jyankanich]

The fun of cooking, just go with the flow and give it your own flare!!

[@anorak78]

Glad to stumble across your page! Great road content and Blue looks to be the best boy!

[@roamingreckless]

Thanks so much!

[@zeesoutdoors65]

I use biscuits out of a can easy to roll out not so thick when i go camping .

[@teardropcamper3988]

Baking paper under pizza while cooking it will stop burning. Pinch salt, Plain flour and yoghurt make pizza dough, lot healthy for you

[@vincedagiel3905]

Great video! I love the rain as long as I stay dry. Being wet and cold sucks. Love Blue’s raincoat. I’ll be looking to get one for my girl.

[@thanhhoale3886]

Love your video, you and your dog Blue !!!

[@audramitchell9894]

I get nervous cooking new things. You did excellent ❤️🌹❤️ Glad it turned out so good 🌹❤️🌹

[@irawhitlock1084]

LOVE rainy camping

[@CookingbyCampsite]

Bub is so cool with his raincoat on!! I’m crying. 😂 I suggested vegetable stir-fry for a reason.

[@roamingreckless]

He tries 😂

[@teresap.5991]

Your pizza looks great. If I can give you some advice. Turn the heat to medium, then it can get done all the way through without burning the bottom. I'm so glad it turned out so good 😋👍🖐️‼️

[@Sunsetschano]

That's so cool you made pizza! It actually looked fabulously tasty. You need to get you a grate to lift the pizza off the skillet and a lid. Try that on an open camp fire then you'd have fire roasted pizza. :) that rain coat is adorable. I gotta get my dog one.

[@eugenenault4935]

Years back I lived in my Cadillac fleetwood waiting for apartment being painted, it was quite the challenge mentally and physically.

[@candybrown3785]

Oatmeal rolling pin 😅 I love it 🤣 That pizza 🍕 looked so good!

[@PrplAngl]

I love the rain. ☔

[@brianbarton3717]

He loves his rain coat

Pizza shrunk into shape of a heart

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

I love your channel! I am glad I found you! It doesn’t hurt that you are gorgeous too…and your dog is cute! ❤❤❤

[@zekeurrabazo]

Love the new cooking channel 😁

[@thanhhoale3886]

I love the rain and love to hear raindrops, especially when I am in bed relaxing that will put me to sleep quicker. Hearing raindrops remind me a lot about my childhood time when I was still in my mother's country (Asia). It rains like cats and dogs there during the wet season. The sound of raindrops is like music to my ears and it calms my soul, giving me the utmost relax and romantic time (even by myself) !!!

[@bitterandcynical]

I had to laugh out loud when you said you were Italian so the pizza should come out fine! The entire Country of Italy’s reputation rests on your shoulders. 😂 Really enjoying your adventures.

[@TheMewiya]

Pizza in the back of a Subaru on a forest road; what could be better? I'm impressed!

[@franmartinez779]

I bought Greek Peta bread, it's pizza bread already made all you need to do is heat it up...no mess! And it tast fabulous. add toppings then heat till cheese is melted. Look into it next time you will be alot happier.

[@friedtofubitz]

a trick that has always worked for me is to tap the side of the lid at the edge of a flat surface like a table or that plywood while simultaneously twisting the jar and tapping against the table on the side of the lid.

[@AshJae]

UGHHHH, I’ve been watching ALL of your videos and I can’t WAIT to go do this myself. I’ll be spending all of my next several paychecks getting ready for it. I still have to get a new vehicle since I’ve messed up the ABS system on my current one. Feels like it’s so far away but I know myself and my dog just cannot wait to get on the road! Even with all of the ups and downs, there’s plenty at home so on the road it’s just easier to take a break from it all and enjoy life through the journey 🎉

[@audrey136]

I just found you and you’re living the dream. Love your videos ❤

[@user-os7cy4fk7v]

Blue is a good boy he never barks❤😊

[@SimplyCelticVanLife]

Blue looked so cute in his raincoat

[@lionandthelamb9379]

The secret to dough is you roll it out partially and then let it rest for 10 minutes. It rolls out real easy after that.

[@Deekers2020]

Have been looking for a rain jacket for my pooch. Please share where you got your sweet dog’s rain gear.

[@roamingreckless]

amazon!

[@OrganicSilverMoonDesignsLLG]

Wow Blu is such a champ And you being the loving Paws mom you are, Great stream Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@gwenwallace6175]

So enjoyed your pizza cooking skills!! Much more condensed that the mud coffee!! Looks like a winner and ofcourse, Blue is always great footage!!

[@goodykei]

Loved the video ! That was some nice pizza 🍕 especially for a first Ru 🍕 Love and Blessings to You and Yours 🤗 FYI: I love the sound of the rain ☔ while falling asleep 🙏🙏🙏

[@mikejurnak0324]

Gotta love pizza 🍕 and rain 2 of my favorites. that pepperoni 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@davidemm829]

Dinner..I spent several months in Frisco Co. amazing place, whoa on your videography & editing..don't let dead relatives pressure you when cooking, they don't know😃 or care, Ms Italian..I've never yelled in my life🌟

[@Veteran22out]

Hi was waiting on the next video,enjoying watching you and blue together be safe

[@rosslehmkuhler923]

Hi, I am going to go car camping for the first time in a couple of weeks. To the Pacific Northwest. I am taking my dog too. Will be taking any advice you give on this channel.

[@reogroenewald6361]

Welcome to the Fraser Safeway lol our go to during archery season

[@s0larfire]

Yay pizza success!! Next time you're struggling to open a jar, tap the side of the lid on a hard surface to make it super easy to open 😘

[@treymack1874]

[@emmarose7204]

Hi Maria, new subscriber here. Luv watching your vids with Blue. Pizza looks good. Enjoy your travels and be safe.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

As you title stated, Heavy Rain. I wish we could have seen more than a second of it. Love your beautiful hair. Just so gorgeous ----- From a 65 year old woman in Texas.

[@ellenados804]

If you have a water bottle or something similar you can roll your crust with that. It looks delicious!

[@Joeybz1]

Will you miss your Subaru? You are doing good! Hint for anything that sticks and needs soaking on a pan. When done cooking and removing your food. Add a little bit of water and heat it up. Anything sticking will loosen and you can and Dissolve Mays life easier!! Pizza looks good!

[@maggiequinones3573]

Soo cute, 🥰 never seen a doggy raincoat 🤗
