LIVING IN MY CAR AND BATHING IN A RIVER

[@ltii7852]

This video brings me back to when I was living out of my car on a never ending road trip, I'm pretty sure I spent a couple hundred dollars on ice, i had the same problem with always needing ice, getting by for a bit on dried food like instant oatmeal, rice, raisins, nuts, and some veggies and fruits do last a while with out refrigeration, like garlic (which can be used to flavor rice); apples can last a while, oranges can last a while; onions last a long time; melons last a long time uncut.

[@roamingreckless]

Thank you!!

[@mollykate422]

you give me so much hope that i can travel alone as a female and have success. i love that you even show the mishaps and fails so that we can see how you grow and learn on your journey. thank you for the awesome video as always

Blue making sure you don’t get swept away or your head going under is the CUTEST thing! He 100% has your back 🥹🥹🥹 Edited to add 1000% lol

[@deneseweatherby7378]

Blue is such a good dog. He stays with you all the time. Very good protector. He loves you as much as you love him. Safe travels from Texas

[@1GGBEE]

I’ve been bing watching you, Blue and Ru, for 3 days. I love my Lilly, like you love your blue. We roam free in Alaska. She’s a 2 year old Purebred Yellow Lab and is training as my Service Dog. I have Multiple Sclerosis and Diabetes. She’s amazing and is my best friend. I enjoy watching your adventures so much!

[@tristanquick2817]

Love watching your videos. You have so much excitement for everything

[@briancclevenger]

Okay I thought I'd share some of my experiences, the first is I dumped my cooler for a fridge. I got the Acopower model, it comes with it's own battery. I then bought the Jackery 1000 solar gen. No more ice ever. Since then I added a 3qt instant pot pressure cooker with a 2000watt pure sine inverter. Fresh cooked meals, anytime. I boil water in my instant pot when my 300w collapsible water pot needed replaced. I bought the Jackery on sale and they threw in two 100w foldable solar panels. I can keep it charged while driving plugging into the cigarette lighter plug, the solar panels out side when parked at a camp site, or in the front window as a sun shade/solar charging. The fridge stays cold day and night. I even plug the fridge to the other 12v dc port and that charges the internal battery plus runs the compressor to keep every thing cold. If you learn to cook with the instant pot, lots of camping with it on youtube, you'll be kicking yourself for not doing it sooner. Sorry this was so wordy but when I like to share a working idea, I get carried away. If you have any question, hit me up, I'll be glad to share. Take care and stay safe.

[@janemerrill5675]

[@bigdaddykahuna1]

Darrington, is home to the White Mountain Rock Festival...good times. As to ice melting, upgrade to a Yeti. I've had mine hold ice for a week without issue.

[@TriggermanEst91]

Just light the jetboil with a lighter or a bernzomatic push button sparker. Igniters are usually the thing that busts. Freeze dried meals are pricey and full of salt so everything in moderation lol

[@williamrandall6472]

[@ayn8643]

So do you take blue inside of all the stores and locations you go? Where do you put him? Can you make a video? Also what about your bathroom situation. How do you travel without a toilet?

[@heymoe1179]

You have room for a fridge and solar. Forget getting ice every couple days...and stay in the outback for weeks at a time (until we gather too much trash) with a portable solar system. I have a Jackery 1000 and two solar panels...allowing me to stay in remote areas (no Verizon bars) for 7 to 10 days. Anyway...love your channel...and relate to your boondocking lifestyle.

[@ashleyrogers3920]

I'm from Colorado, and just moved to Washington, It is so beautiful!! My cousin showed me your channel and I really love your content! I'm hoping I can buy a van or just travel in my car and live a similar lifestyle one day! It really resonates with me!

[@ellenallthetime]

What a wonderful dog!

[@buildanichesite]

Have you thought about getting one of those portable ice makers? I have a portable fridge which uses about 40watts per hour. However, lately I’ve been thinking about just using a cooler and “make ice” each day instead.

[@meelliemoe]

I think the starting your day off with a cold hair wash in the river super charged your brain for the day, the caffeine and energy drinks made it too over the edge hence “squirrel brain” day hahaha Honestly, I think it’s just super adrenaline from all the excitement of starting the 50 state road trip. Loving it!

[@roamingreckless]

Great video! I knew that water was going to be freezing lol and all that hair that came off Blue, you could start saving it and stuff a pillow 😄. I agree the fan is great to just be able to move the air around and have a little noise. I have to have something on (like a fan) or I cannot get to and stay asleep. Again super video and I'm looking forward to the next.

[@danorthwest]

I’m glad the Darrington area was a good experience for you. I need to get back up there. Great video.

[@garydavis786]

I have one of those fans and have used it for almost 2 years and I love it! I use it even in cooler weather because I just want the air flow and if I don't use it, the air feels "stuffy". Mine will go for 2 nights on low before I recharge it.

You should leave the dog fur you brushed out of his coat for the birds, they use it for nesting material. That way it won’t end up in a landfill.

[@Jonsmama1]

I did that once in a Colorado river and oh my gosh, I got the biggest brain freeze and it felt like it wouldn’t end. Never again. Plus a big fish swam right up to my face and I screamed and scared the poor thing. Haha!

[@janemerrill5675]

Thanks!

[@roamingreckless]

Thank you so much!

[@wildandliving]

Thrashro is asking for problems with bears. If you get an iceco gp21 and a jackery 240 you can plug it into the car and run the fridge off the jackery. Had no problems running no solar when you drive around park ect

[@qg4263]

Maybe a weird question but what do you do if you have to go to the bathroom and there are no toilets/bathrooms near you? I want to go on a trip with my dog but where i live are no public bathrooms so thats a problem i guess 😅

[@bangbangcfp]

I have the exact same problem as you. I’m in a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. It’s small in back. I have all my stuff in there. And ICE and trash are the biggest issues. It’s a drag. 14=days in and so much gross trash. So far I put my restroom trash in a dry bag and hook it to my roof rack. And just let it hang. But my entire car is trash bags when I leave. 😖. And ice every 2 days. Takes a lot of gas going back and forth.😢😢😢. Lol, there’s a solution somewhere. Let us know. peace

[@gbcookiesyqr]

If I sat on that chair, not only would I break it but you'd need a shovel to dig it out of the ground. Love your channel! and me and my good girl, Sofia, love Blue!!! I'm catching up on the old material still.

[@nursebabs]

They make refrigerators the same size as coolers more room because you don't need ice. You will never go back to ice.

[@lifemyway200]

But then she would need way more power to keep the fridge running. She doesnt have a lot of excess space.

[@nursebabs]

@@lifemyway200 I only have a jackary 500 and it's plenty w a solar panel. I travel in a kia Sorento it's the same size w a smaller dog though. It's just how bad she wants something like that I'm guessing.

I'd put one toe in the river and say, "Um no. I'm going to Anytime Fitness or a Hotel for a shower." Akira-sensei would have been WAY proud of you. Anyway ... I had a JetBoil that stopped igniting, and I just bent the little L-shaped sparky wire thingie about a 1/4-millimeter closer to the gas-hole (ykwim?), and 100 cups of coffee later, it's still working. But REI is so great, isn't it?

[@mikemurphymagic]

@@roamingreckless It was a great book recommendation. It was what I needed to hear right now. I'm on my 3rd time through the audiobook. Thanks for the recommendation! The bamboo analogy hit home -- the long process of invisible growth for like 5 years, building the foundation necessary to maintain success -- then WOOSH, the bamboo grows like 90 feet in 6 weeks. I'm working on a business for 3 years now. Loong process indeed. Anyway, THANKS!!

I don't know if you are vegan but you could just get soups, canned beans, rice, quinoa, dry canned goods, fruit, nuts, seeds, bread, peanut butter, anything basically that doesn't require refrigeration. If you are not vegan you could add canned chicken, tuna etc. Just an idea.

[@roamingreckless]

Good idea!

[@mikemurphymagic]

@@roamingreckless Also, look into Wild Planet Ready-to-Eat Wild Tuna Meals -- pull-tab soft-top canned meals --- So good, and no prep or ice needed.
