Living in a 4x4 Van in the Remote Wilderness | Adjusting to a Growing Family

[@Kelly19217]

Rodney is such a gentle soul it breaks my heart to think of him begging for food and all alone, love you for taking him into your lovely little family ❤

[@kdbanister8978]

Agree and it makes me happy and sad at the same time seeing how he became so attached so quickly. Thinking of his past life breaks my heart. Happy he has a loving home now.

[@SRtruth]

Rodney sleeping on you belly up is the funniest & best ❤ Also good thing you carried him across the bridge his little leg could go right through one of those cracks!

[@terenzo50]

Rodney is about 12 kinds of adorable and a perfect compadre for Camper who's no slouch in the adorable department himself. Good health to all three of you. Please stay safe. You're all so important to us out here in the vast uncharted wilds of the Internet.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank you!!!!!

[@terenzo50]

You're more than welcome. I don't know if you've noticed, but certain things in our country are worrisome and you and your four-legged family take all that away.@@NikkiDelventhal

[@pomskylifenova7344]

For sure 👍🍀

[@karadizon4299]

Rodney and camper are so cute. He’s so lucky to have a mama who loves him. Many dogs are abandoned by their owners but it’s devastating to hear what happens to them. I have two dogs and can’t imagine my life without them. Life is so much better with companion like dogs. Rodney is such a gentleman to let his mama go first. You can see how much he loves his mama. My husband and I dreamt of taking our girls in cross country via RV one of these days. They are our family. We are lucky to have two dogs to keep each other company.

[@MalissaThomas]

When you first showed Rodney and took him for a while and them took him back, I cried. Now I'm so happy he's with you and having the time of his life! Love watching you guys!!

[@WildDoveTrail]

Rodney looks so much better and happy. He's really improving with his stamina. Thank you for your love and patience with him.❤

[@NikkiDelventhal]

He’s doing so well! Love watching him grow and come into his personality!

[@WildDoveTrail]

@@NikkiDelventhal I hope you're feeling better! 😀

[@happydays241]

I love the matching PJ’s. Don’t worry about what people think about feeding them from your mouth they are your babies and you have thought them a lot of great things. You have got two beautiful dogs there and Rodney’s a quick learner. I just love them both.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Rodney is adorable, such a character!

[@alexamerling79]

So glad Camper has a brother now :)

[@wstafco]

Nikki, I have alot of admiration and respect for you because of your commitment to rescue and rehabilitate these dogs. You are an inspiration.

[@Deborah1056]

I am enjoying your channel so much! Camper and Rodney are adorable and you're such a good trainer! Love all of the content.

[@jtaylorb88]

Ive really enjoyed Rodney being added to the clan. Besides when he's sleeping its just too darn cute too.

[@petepotaczek5844]

Thank you for enriching your life with your two boys. I almost cried seeing Rodney take that food outta your mouth!

[@jenniferparrott8260]

I love watching your two pups! Life always gets better when you add a 2nd dog. Rescues are the way to go! They know you saved them and they never forget.

[@susanstebila8707]

U crack me up😂😂😂😅

[@Simone_Samadhi]

I love your videos. It makes me happy to see you and your four-legged friends so happy together. Thank you so much for your positive influence in this world. I wish more people were like you. ❤️ Please keep it up! 👍🏻😉

[@pienpakvis6118]

I love nothing better than seeing a pup-Mom and her 2 boys exploring nature. Travelling in the great outdoors is such a perfect life for 2 dogs. It is heartwarming to see what a bonded family you have become. Also a very creative way to include them in your exercise routine , lol

[@mikebolton3816]

Your not alone. And frankly, dogs are generally better company than humans.

[@BigV96220]

Here here Amen to that 🙏 ❤

[@amandamccoy1165]

Beautiful area. Your pups make me smile. I love how Camper's stare. And Rodney is learning so much. And you are right. Nothing like seeing your dogs happy. I have 2 dogs and I love the company they give each other. Thanks for your video.

[@KatreenKorneeva-sj9ce]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom, the effort and passion you inject into your videos are truly valued.

[@colleencolleen44]

aww Rodney looks so much more relaxed!! He looked so stiff and reserved the first few videos. It just shows how important it is to give rescued dogs time to decompress❤❤

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Yes! I believe it takes months before we really get to know them!

[@loriperkins8805]

Love it! Everyone brushing their teeth and matching jammies, you're the best dog mom!! On another note. I still tell our 2 yr old lab/golden to "go potty" when we got out before bedtime 😂

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Camper is the goodest boy now. I hope he's being the best big brother to Rodney ❤ nothing better than happy pet freinds. Thanks again for being so wonderful for them. You are right that they are good for each other. Thanks for always putting so much amazing work into filming. The drone shots are really getting great and really enhance the already fantastic quality of your videos. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Hugs 💚

[@therealsugarking]

I love Rodney. Thank you for taking him in 😊

[@michelebullock9867]

You are doing such a great job with da boyz! Each is so unique. Rescue personalities evolve over time and it’s fun to watch.

[@karatechop]

Glad you're feeling better, Nikki! I love how Rodney sits on your lap when you drive. Very cute!

[@josiespreitzer1690]

I used to feed my dear dog, Angel, who was also an abandoned puppy, from my mouth. She was so gentle taking food from me, so I think feeding Camper like that is adorable, too. Thank you for reminding me of me dear Angel❤️. So glad you’re feeling better, Nikki

[@Monaz1]

The bread looks amazing. Rodney is learning a lot. They look cute in their little coats. He is very happy. That's great!

[@joejoness9939]

11:08 that dog was like I’m not getting out until you do I remember the last time I got out first they just closed the door and drive off an left me those a$$holes! 😊

[@NikkiDelventhal]

😭😭😭😭😭 never again for this little guy!

[@BeKindGoVegan.]

Rodney is doing so well :))) What an addition to the family!!!

[@TSIRM0]

hi nikki, can you please do a feature on how you do your filming? i am intrigued

[@alanalan-uc4zb]

i am a 69 year old guy. i had a stroke on 3/6/24. i am okay now, i am home taking care of my 2 adopted daughters karma and karli, thanks for taking care of camper and rodney. they have the best mom in the world.

[@ToeKneeMarlow]

I'm so incredibly in love with your life with these boys, your videos. and of course, you! Pat on the back, Nikki! Looking forward to seeing more to come!!!!

[@kmadsen65]

I am just SOOOO IN LOVE WITH RODNEY!! Every video I watch he just gets cuter & cuter!!! 🖤🤎🤍🖤

[@moryan6447]

Nothings better than adding veggies to soups, like tomato, topped off with grilled sandwich likely cheese😊

[@t.michaelbodine4341]

Your rig is just impossibly beautiful. I'm so jealous. Also, I had a cat named Rodney for years. I love the dogs.

[@sandrapicard422]

Glad you are feeling better. Camper is teaching Rodney the ways. The best way to train a new bowser. Sourdough is my favorite bread!!!! ❤❤

[@Eaglebarron]

Good job on the sourdough!!! Rodney seems like he’s getting more and more adjusted all the time. There’s nothing like the great wide open. Carry-on, mother of 2 trucker! I look forward to you guys next adventure!

[@dorothysaal7775]

Glad, to hear, you are all feeling much better!😊

[@pme166]

Happy to hear you are feeling better. Being sick like that is no fun especially for weeks on end. Keep up the education and fascinating videos. I usually sit and watch your videos and try and spot places I have been. Too much fun.

[@meredithheath5272]

( Sandwich and soup looks yummiest) You make this endeavor look easy - and fantasic! (I'm stuck, financially, and can't go anywhere) So sorry you had to be stuck for so long, to hear of your illnesses and dealing with canine issues, too... Glad you're back to living your best life!

[@jerryjerrylee]

You are an angel. You create wonderment and joy for those precious babies every day. So giving! It's amazing to witness!!! A million times, God bless you N.

[@tehutiboi]

So glad you are feeling better! Beautiful spot! All the best to you and your tribe. Safe and Happy travels!

[@josegonzalescedillo2399]

I can tell Ronnie is really happy and his new home and family thank you for loving those two dogs camper and Ronnie❤❤

[@rogerj.fugere3570]

I originally came here for the Nikki Prius adventures. I stayed here for the Camper adventures. Now I’m treated to the Rodney adventures as well. A veritable trifecta of adventuring!

[@rvwithbob]

I can't believe Rodney did a high five already. I love it. I like your editor too!

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

It's just SO precious to see Rodney and Camper, as brothers! You can just tell that Rodney knows he has found his forever family and it literally brings tears to my eyes!!

[@Lonnwriting]

Jaw dropping loaf of bread Nikki. Yes × 3

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Wahoo! Thanks!!!

[@bsloannyc]

How did you bake that bread in the van?

[@lyric8006]

It’s so touching to see how happy Rodney is now that he has a home. ❤

[@ajress]

Camper is SUCH A GOOD BOY and Rodney is a sweetheart.

[@rudeboy8628]

A rescue pet is just on a different level. We got a rescue cat ( all thanks to my daughter). The love and attention she gives when she is in the mood is on another level.

[@MOTrav]

Not sure who likes the mountains the best? You or your dogs. I do know that the mountains are magnetic. The draw you in and always amaze. Enjoy! 😎

[@bettyvarone4420]

Rodney is such a a sweet baby , so cute to watch him getting along with Camper, enjoyed this video , remembering my sweet dog eating right from my mouth like yours, so gentle.

[@kellinomnom]

Sorry you guys got sick and so glad you're all feeling better!

[@BohoFreedom]

You're so much fun to watch. Good for YOU girl! Love seeing your channel grow.

[@PamLuce]

Rodney’s High Five was just the sweetest thing!

[@wholetthedogsoutwhowho]

6:36 not gross at all! 🤣 I do the exact same thing with my dog, and have, for years now. It's fun! Camper was so gentle, and so was Rodney!

[@markk.5637]

Camper and Rodney are the best! You are a great dog trainer Nikki

[@robyn9617]

Rodney is adorable 🥰 and sooo sweet poor thing glad u found each other. Loved the gentle treat lesson and impulse control

[@AnnieOaklee]

Always a good Friday knowing there's another video from Nikki and the boys ❤

[@carlosespinoza2453]

I am a vanlifer in Mountains in Peru . Huayhuash, Cordillera Blanca, Colca Canyon, Gocta Watefalls, Paron Lagoon, Chachapoyas, Titicaca Lake, Cusco Ruins, Reserva San Fernando, etc.

[@kenkitsul8076]

Hi Nikki. don't forget..... "a darker night dawns a brighter day." Sunshine and smiles!!!!! KEN

[@FreedomRock44]

Good to see the boys adjusting well to one another and a year from now......Hopefully the best of buds! Will be so good for Camper to have a Pal/brother. Camper has been really good from what I can see...that is not an easy adjustment.

[@hydroxacte]

I recognize all the care and trouble you go to, to create not just the drone shots, but the ground-level "van approach" and "van depart" and "Nikki opens the van door and steps out" shots, and the trouble of editing them all together into a coherent narrative flow -- and I appreciate it. I only just noticed that your YT feed has 1440 HD quality, as well! I did a screen grab from about 1:51, with just a bit of tweaking it makes a great poster. I'll post it over on Patreon for you.

[@susanlilley-rizos9906]

I love anything with Rodney and Camper the video just flew by so engrossing.

[@moryan6447]

As to getting stomach issues in Mexico, a friend spends 6 months in PV and usually has stomach issues when he returns to California. Sometimes it’s just a change in the usual digestive flora and fauna.

[@susanstebila8707]

Wow I to got RSV boy that was bad…❤ your channel…it’s my favorite 😊

[@patricecoronato3760]

Nikki, you are an amazing human. I am so happy I discovered your videos! I love the 3 of you and your matching p.j.'s. GOD bless all of you.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank you!!! I’m so glad you did too! Big hugs!

[@kevinhayes1656]

That loaf of sourdough bread looks awesome.

[@marisaw5150]

I can see Rodney feels so loved...

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

Two is better than one 🐾🐾 Rodney looks like he’s bonding well with both you and Camper. Such a sweet boy.

[@susanstebila8707]

WOOOZA AMAZING SOUR DOUGH 🤩👍

[@thetv2122]

Happy you all are doing better, loved the peaceful mountain scene !!! Stay safe

[@karengraves3900]

Loved watching the boys out and about on the mountain. So happy to see them enjoying their best lives...and so cute how Rodney waited for you to pick him up!! Your bread looked SOOOOO GOOD!!!!

[@jasonlin9976]

Hi Nikki, Camper and Rv sorry to hear about all your health issues the past month, I'm also sick right now. Good to see you're feeling better and Rodney looks like he's calmed down and is being a good boy now. Can't wait till next week.

[@simonagree4070]

Oh Nikki, I love you so much. You kids and dogs are like my children and grandchildren to me.

[@Sirshackleton]

Rodney is a cute little dude and seems thrilled with his new pack!❤😊

[@orangeskythinking]

PJs ❤ Rodney has really bonded. Great stuff. Rodney even had the loved up zoomies ✨🌈👏🏻🌈✨🐶🐶

[@stratos175escape7]

Two lucky dogs getting to live the best life's possible. Enjoy the road and smooth travels.

[@lynnemac1402]

Sorry you were so ill, hope you and Rodney are on the up and up! So funny 'Deven-Dough' lol well done on the starter and the baking the bread looked yummy. So cute Rodney had you leave the van first and then you had to carry him on the bridge. Love that you now have two workout buddy's x

[@BlazinBlades]

We just love all your adventures Nicky and are big fans but we keep saying how it just can’t be all that healthy breathing all that pet hair all the time and having them eat their food in your bed… Best wishes and a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 🙏🙏

[@jamesbean7560]

Sorry you were sick. It's the pits. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Vicarious fun for me.

[@JM-jr1sb]

That is a nice looking piece of sourdough. Bread making is kind of addicting. There’s nothing better than a good homemade sandwich.

[@Rexodus014]

Enjoy following your travels and adventures... especially your bonding and communication with Camper and R.V. You're a Champion. Be Safe... to Be Well, Nikki ! 😊👍

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Glad everyone is feeling better!

[@BooBoo-hp6dd]

❤I love camper and his new brother Rodney ,,, Rodney sticks to mom because he loves her and camper he is afraid she leave him or he’ll lose her ❤❤❤❤❤

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Nikki, Camper and R.V. y'all always find such unique places you could spend days there and it would be so peaceful and a epic adventure.

[@MG-pj2oo]

I started fostering over a decade ago and will never look back. 2 dogs is my minimum bc you're right, it's really not hard to add even s 3rd or 4th dog, and they're great for each other. They fill my life with love even and especially when people blow. As an animal lover i really love these videos and appreciate when you don't eat meat in them.

[@wendylynch6511]

Beautiful scenery and nature! Camoer and Rodney are awesome together,cgreat company . Rodney is settling in nicely Thanks

[@charleshicks3492]

Love your videos, especially with the “kids”😎⭐️🤩

[@cherylsibson2529]

The dogs are both so well behaved and so gentle with each other and you, so good to see them get along!

[@d-v-cez9152]

RV's tail looks relaxed and has risen up more. Good sign he's acclimating. Energy level is way up, wow! 👍🏻😊

[@laurenm8561]

Glad you’re feeling better Nikki. Rodney is definitely part of the family and his training is going really well, great job!

[@lindasimmons-pe9ew]

Absolutely love the matching pajamas that was so cute❤

[@megarichie007]

Rodney is learning love the PJs

[@terrykirk6951]

Glad to see/hear everyone's feeling better...great looking mountain view and meal 😋

[@pdodwell1575]

Awesome sourdough, Nikki! When you showed it, I could hear music from the heavens! I am so jealous. It looks so good.

[@carolinec221]

Looks like Rodney likes to follow Camper around. He is so adorable.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

He does! It’s cute to watch him keep up! Hehe camper is FASTTTT! Haha

[@toddmullin-3519]

Have a great weekend. Seeing your fur babies is a great start to the weekend.

[@martysinq4831]

Your pups are getting so confident and obedient. Loved this beautiful video.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank you!!!!

[@PeterStawicki]

First, I've always known you were brave but seeing you drive down a back road at major elevation not knowing the road conditions and just trusting you would make it, all I could think was Damn! Your plaid PJs were cute but matching for everyone is Awesome, and for a dog abandoned at a McDonald's I have to think that Rodney is just fantastic. He's always so calm and cute and precious and he and Camper get on so well together. Just fantastic.

[@martinhernandez6506]

Hi Nikki & double ear rubs Camper & RV Rodney ! It’s obvious to see they adore you so much ! Camper clears the way & Rodney has your back ! They’re both quite the gentlemen Pups ! You should be a proud Doggy Mom ! That loaf & meal looked so deliciously tasty ! Safe travels, great work & keep smiling !

[@RogerdeMoura]

I love watching you and your dogs ❤
