enjoyed the video, Lisa. I thought it was sweet that you labelled yourselves as a pair of badasses. The 2 of you don't actually qualify as a couple of biker ganghounds. lol.

We are all glad you're doing this. Keep going. I'll watch out for your next installment in Cal. ( Its been raining sideways here ) chuck

Just a hint from a longtime slow cooker addict,try to cut your veggies into the bit bigger chunks as that way they will still maintain their shape and texture better.

[@cotter9751]

[@fraulowrey]

When we cook using a slow cooker. We use a cheap wall timer to turn it on and off. That allows use to set up groats(steel cut oats) at night and wake up to cooked morning oats. It might work for you on your battery. You will get the timing down with your slow cooker. You get to play with your food.🙂 Even if your Mom said no. So glad that you are getting out there. Go girl.

Cool adventure, sharing your slow cooker meal will have more people inspired (especially me, I have the Bluetti AC180). I seen the tour of where "Not a Wheelchair" is made JerryRigEverything on youtube, the story is pretty cool how he got started making them. Keep smiling it brightens up the day!

What fun week in one of my favorites areas the lake is the most beautiful. Just a tip when cooking in a crock pot. They make crock pot liners so you have easy clean up and won't have to use all of your water 😉😢

What a fabulous advocate ❤. Thank you. I used to drive through the Rockies every year, traveling from Vancouver Island to London Ontario. Everytime I saw the sign 'Distracted driving laws in effect' I laughed and thought, 'then you should cover the road so we can't see the mountains' 😂

She is half Canadian but born and raised in England and never seen the beauty of your country - that's going to change now... and yep, you two are completely badass!

[@Keepinitwheel306]

[@marymactavish]

I am an ambulatory wheelchair user because of years of severe rheumatoid damage. The crank mountain bike wouldn't work for me because of damage in my hands, wrist, and elbows. That not a wheelchair might be ideal, if I can find a way to haul it. I miss hiking so much, and though my wheelchair can do pretty well, it really prefers smooth surfaces and it doesn't have a wide enough wheel base for anything tricky.

[@Keepinitwheel306]

Where do you reside? You might be able to rent something similar if there is an organization nearby.

When you were preparing your ingredients for your slow cooker I was telling you that it's all to small but you just carried on ,HA HA Seriously think chunky next time and only heat the slow cooker on high then as you leave put it down to low and it will be fine after six hours ,loved the vlogs ,

[@Keepinitwheel306]

Haha I think I was compensating for the smallness of the slow cooker but I’ll heed your advice next time!

[@franklealand1181]

@Keepinitwheel306 Did I mention I used to earn my living cooking and when you're cooking for 2500 or 1 boiling point doesn't change so good luck cooking and try a nice summer siyo to warm you up this time of the year ,ingredients.....some of this and some of that basically what ever think will taste nice mostly works out great but you can never remake the sane one twice even if you write the ingredients down HA HA
