Guys the video of us stranded in the Colorado mountains goes live this Sunday! This was the video filmed before that. Someone tell past Ria to keep her arctic gear + tool kit 🥲

[@giuseppechiodini1940]

Wait uno momento ;-) Maria I will ask to Kitty Pride if she can give me a leap into the past

[@AM.000]

Oh no! I was going to say you should hold on to the arctic pants for cold nights. Also you should create a digital inventory for the less accessible storage. Probably just need to use a notes app and designate the lockers A, B, C etc.

[@ledatully8371]

Glad to see Blue is well?! Watching a whole video of cleaning? 🙀 Think I’ll fast forward.

[@mikeydog1000]

😂I actually like watching you clean. Lol, i love seeing you and our most loved pupper lue.

[@LisaH582]

Past Ria - keep your arctic gear + took kit! LOL

[@teresar9659]

One thing you could do to keep organized is make you a notebook and number all your storage boxes. Then make you a list of what is in each one. That way you can refer back to it when you’re looking for something.

[@enibeni2071]

Many people say that the trick for having a organized and clean home is: - To inmediately put everything on its original place after using it. - To frequently clean the house. This trick avoids dirty to acumulate too much, it reduce the difficulty of organizing and the difficulty of cleaning.

[@peanuts1173]

this really is a good idea!!! I need to do this for my storage boxes in my closets lol

[@spindrift2719]

@@enibeni2071exactly if everything has a place when it’s not in its place you will notice it

[@danieldzurisin595]

No better feeling then a cleaned up rig, whats nuts is how fast that stuff builds back up! Props for showing that fridge 🤣.

[@SuzGetsItTogether]

Who is watching the door close on the storage with the Buddy Heater inside and SCREAMING! 🥺😳🤦🏻‍♀️

[@justinbrewster4788]

You inspire me to fight my anxiety and be more brave and live life on lifes terms. Tx Ria!

[@brettotte6470]

Cut a dog pee pad in half & put in bottom of frig to prevent spillage. Make your own ranch with seasoning packets or bottled & yogurt. So much cheaper & no fat & smaller containers.

[@emilykalfas2171]

Good ideas! I also use cottage cheese with the Ranch seasoning and blend it 👍

[@PresleyMarie53]

Of course Blue is always the star of the show but the cameo of the mini broom was a strong 2nd! I'm guessing it hasn't been used much since sweeping the survival shelter floor 😆 I agree, Kingdom Harvest Co has the BEST candles on earth - I'll be a returning customer!!! 🕯💙

[@olgahekkert5358]

So happy to see another video of you and Blue! I hope you are keeping safe. Prayers for safe travels and bountiful health to Blue❤❤❤

[@lisaf-d1616]

We use a compression dry sack used for sleeping bags for laundry. It really helps with managing space and containing smells.

[@Al-vr1es]

You should leave mice repellent in the storage unit especially that it’s an outdoor unit

[@rambojohn7118]

Happy to see you Maria and Blue that you guys are safe. 👍💙

[@leomarquie4021]

Totally respect the disgust of digging into the frig parts...lol. If your asking for votes...totally recommend getting a small storage....never get rid of anything you feel you may need in the next 365 possible future days. The storage will pay for itself over even having to pay for one item. Po is looking so much better, and you'll feel better...both physically & mentally!! Thanks for the video's and glad to see all "three" of you are doing good. Message if you ever head to Washington State again soon. Me and my wife live in a private camping club in Olympia, and would love to host you for anytime! Leo

[@ChefScottSUP]

I love to listen to your videos while working on my computer. Your dedication to cleaning every nook and cranny of your truck is inspiring! Watching you tackle the mess and organize everything is oddly satisfying. Can't wait for the next one!

[@AsTheSunRises]

I was going to comment the exact same thing! And inspiring as I need to do this very same thing

Congratulations on 200k! 🎉🌟💥

[@roamingreckless]

thank you! 🩵

[@judyshoemaker9681]

As a mother and grandmother I have been worried about you since the live feed of you stranded in the snow storm. I wasn’t sure if you were in Colorado, but I thought you might be since I knew it was expecting that blizzard. One of my daughters lives by Vail and going over Vail Pass or Eisenhower tunnel can be real tricky in bad weather. By this post I know you are OK and so glad that you are. I enjoy your videos and I especially watched the Alaska ones since I am driving to Alaska towards the end of April. I have a daughter who lives there as well. Looking forward to your next video and pray safety and blessings over you.

[@marcl5048]

You should make a spreadsheet of what’s in all your hidden compartments then when you need something you’ll know right where it is!

[@jamesyoung3760]

My mom and I have been watching your trek religiously! She adores dogs and can’t get enough of Blue! I’m so glad you’re making your dreams come true and exploring. My buddy and I have plans after grad school to van life it for a short time, just to experience the world a little more. Of course, it’s just a plan at the moment, but you inspire us and we’re constantly learning from awesome creators like yourself! Much love, Maria! Safe travels to you and Blue!

[@traci635]

Blue looks so good💙 so glad he's doing better. POE looks pretty darn good with his new seats. Good job keeping POE all clean 😊

[@cch5109]

You got Poe looking aye-mazing... and the Pup is cute as ever and You did a great job cleaning and organizing, fantabulious work Maria👍

[@charleshillard1426]

It is so good to see you and Blue are doing good. Hadn’t heard from you in a while. And in my mind I started thinking the worst. Well anyway, I am so glad to see you and Blue again on KZbin. You and Blue just made my day. Thanks for showing up on KZbin. Maria, you and Blue take care cause you fans care. May the good Lord bless you and Blue on your beautiful journey…😊

[@mayasilliman1465]

Cleaning is not a fun thing to do, I know. Blue looks great. Anyway, I know it feels so good when all the mess is completed, and you can sit back and have a coffee!! Great job Maria, maybe I will sit back and have coffee while I finish watching you!

[@danmartin2235]

Great Job! Satisfying video, got me motivated for spring cleaning😊

[@tigercupsvups7233]

I traveled around in a van for a year, mainly lower states.What a great feeling it is getting a deep clean done. Until driving down a dirt road with the windows down or stopping at a beach. I always had the same thought why so many ziplock baggies.

[@davequige5732]

Congrats to you and Blue for 200k. Your hard work has paid off.

[@reeljamescooper]

I've been on the road for 15 years, watching your content, I still learn stuff, nearly every time.

[@datnguyen478]

Nice to see that we have the exact same taste and collection of books. I switched to audible a few years back and it has made my life so much more compact and mobile.

[@julienelson3448]

I was here to suggest a kindle. As much as I prefer physical books, they are the best for traveling. Mine is even back lit so I don't bother anyone else with a booklight on planes etc.

[@ThatJewyJesusChick]

I was JUST thinking about you guys and considering watching an older vid of yours while getting ready for work tonight-and looked at YT and you just uploaded🙏🏻🥰 Praying you both are doing great today. I’ve been watching your backlog over the last month or so and I’m truly enjoying it. Very grateful to have found you guys! Stay safe; God bless you both!!!❤

[@robertfrye5161]

I can relate. My storage room for my business was a disaster. I hired a part timer and she worked for 2 weeks a few hours a day. I found things I never knew I had or found quantities of items I thought I was out of stock on. I smiled when you were doing the same thing.

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

OMG! You make me wanna declutter my house now! It looks and feels so great when you get it all done!! Great job!

[@JaneDoe-ov1hb]

Yay,I'd been hoping to see a new video from you and here it is! Hope that all is going well with you and handsome Blue Sending positive thoughts your way💛🐾

Hi Maria. Take a look at packing cubes!! We use them for all our travels. In our 5th wheel drawers and our suit cases. Different colors help you know what’s what and they hold a lot more than you think.

Glad you are both keeping safe .You will feel better after cleaning and organizing your Vehicle. Hi from 🇨🇦

[@nancy9704]

Oh, I know this is so hard to do, but when it's done, there's nothing that feels better than a clean environment to live in. I'm so proud of you for doing a deep clean. It inspires me to do more myself.

[@glendarobinette5360]

It’s SO SATISFYING!!! Looks great!

[@jillwalls9330]

It feels good to clean and organize your space. I’m in the process of doing that in my barn and house. I’m about half way done. I’m weird I love to throw junk out and take unwanted stuff to goodwill. I hate clutter. It’s going to be nice when it’s finally finished. 😊

[@bettydanico2959]

Awesome clean out and washing exterior. Great organization skills. We all do the same…make messes and clean them up! Guess it’s just part of life. You are working hard trying to figure out what purpose you need to fulfill in life. You are a beautiful soul inside and out. Sorry I reamed you out for choosing this lifestyle. Just concerned for you and blue. You will survive anything that life throws at you. Be true to yourself. At 73 yrs old I know that being true to yourself is what’s important to yourself❤️Looking forward to Sunday’s video😍

[@user-dq6zp5zp1q]

I’m glad you made it out of thee mtn. very grateful. Your set up, and PO rock, perfect for you and Mr. Blue. Exquisitely the fitting for all nature has to provide. Ma’am i admire how well you take care of PO and yourself. Keep on roaming, AwEsOmELy……. “ 🙏 💜 “

Maria, your videos are so interesting and love your adventures. It's always good to clean when the spirit moves us which does not happen for me often, so I do take advantage of those moments. Happy cleaning. Hello Blue, didn't want to forget you.

[@flightycocktails]

That was so satisfying! 🤣 Thanks Ría & Blue!

[@RyanJanousek]

[@chickkeys]

Hey Ria, You can store unopened jars in the storage. Unless opened canned goods (also sauces and pestos) are fine outside the fridge. Once opened, that's where they should go. Saves you space. So proud on you for cleaning 🌱🐛🦋 Hope Blue is okay 😚💙

Noone would be proud of her for living in that hell, especially with a sick dog. I, at first thought how amazing Ria is for managing yo live in her land rover, how well she does it.... however, when you live by yourself in such a small space, with so much free time, she could easily put things away!! No need for this at all.and shes got a dog with cancer living in this! Not good at all.

You cleaned him up good Maria and how were you suppose to know a big snow storm was right around the corner and your battery was going to died and u needed your tools and buddy heater💙

Your vehicle looks good. A clean vehicle reduces stress and anxiety. Safe travels 🙏 💕. See you on the next one adventurer 😊😊.

Which is why she should not let it get like this. This is someone who literally reads books about self improvement, but can't keep her "bedroom " "home" clean or tidy.

Pro cleaning tip. If you get the little scrub brushes from like the dollar tree it makes it so much easier to clean stuff, especially stuck on stuff. Then come through with a wipe. It makes stuff so much easier to clean

[@ellebee2419]

Hello, I've been enjoying watching your adventures. May I suggest a roll of large parchment paper/baking paper. It's cheap and you can use it to line the cupboards and fridge. It won't prevent spills or need to clean but will seriously reduce the work needed to clean the next time. It's small to store and can be used to wrap up food etc so will easily use the remainder.
