Our Glamping Dome Getaway (break from RV living)

[@GuyHufstetler]

Craig. Take it from a guy who's been married 40 years. When your wife hands you food she's made, you don't complain about it. Dude. Seriously. I love your videos and your quirky personalities. You both seem like people my wife and I would love to hang out with. Looking forward to this Alaska trip.

[@weeepsalotts723]

I love that you guys eat like most people instead of doing the ultra healthy stuff most youtubers pretend to survive on. It is more relatable and more honest.

[@blakep4082]

Craig, learn to say thank you. Your beautiful wife made you supper. Don’t complain about it. Enjoy it.

[@shawnburnett22]

chair is too close to wood stove, be kind to each other, and enjoy your lives together, great vids.

[@Icantsitstill]

Love you two. Craig, ignore the 'when your wife' comments. She knows you love her.

[@josieruiz3946]

Yes say thank you to your wife and be kinder she's your wife.😊

Your refreshing escape in 'Our Glamping Dome Getaway (break from RV living)' is truly inspiring. Your ability to find solace and adventure in unique accommodations reflects a deep appreciation for exploration and relaxation.

Thank you so much!

[@keving4792]

It's not just the latitude that causes wild weather, it's also the altitude. You're at 4000+ feet in elevation at Bragg Creek.

[@gusgus2539]

Stoves have a feature called a damper. I am not sure you found it. Generally when fire is visually going up the chimney the damper is open. The heat will fly out the chimney.

[@wildrvlife]

Yes! We opened the damper before starting the fire, but didn't film that part. Seemed like it was working as far as we could tell

[@gusgus2539]

@@wildrvlife After the fire is going strong you close the damper to stop heat going straight out the flue. Only open it to add wood. It saves your wood supply from burning so fast, and the heat radiates out through the stove. Fuel burns slower and the stove is hotter.

[@juanitasellshouses]

You two crack me up! So fun to watch you have these new experiences. For someone who doesn't own an RV, I'm sure the yurt would be a great way to get away. I, on the other hand, will stick to my campervan. Craig, you do a great job editing the videos!

[@wildrvlife]

Thank you so much for coming along!

I guess Craig was never a boy scout. LOL. We had a wood stove like that one that we used to heat our whole house. It did a pretty good job, too. Lovely spot to vacation. Thanks for the video!

[@wildrvlife]

haha we had a wood burning fireplace in our old house, but neither of us had ever done anything with a wood stove. It definitely did the job of warming things up! Thank you for watching!

I grew up in Maine with a wood stove. It was our only source of heat. I remember getting up at 530 to fill it up so I could get dressed for school where it was warm.

[@wildrvlife]

I've always enjoyed a real wood burning fireplace and the wood stove was a great experience too. Very cozy! Although I'm sure getting up early to fill it wasn't always so enjoyable 😅

[@maryphillips1162]

Very cute dome! The scenery was very pretty and peaceful. The little strip mall where you had dinner then ice cream was pretty cool. Ice cream looked yummy! Can't wait till next week! Maybe we will get to see you interact with Joseph and Kalyn ??? Stay safe and have fun 👍

[@wildrvlife]

It was a lovely little getaway and yes! Next week starts our trip up to the Alcan so you'll be seeing more of Joseph and Kalyn - although admittedly at first we'll be spending a lot of time in our own vehicles just driving the Alcan lol... it's soooo long!

[@ohioclassCcamper]

Looked nice. Very nice place on the river. Did just leave the RV at a campground ? Get ready for ruff roads head hopefully the fires are gone.

[@wildrvlife]

Yes, we just left it at a campground. And I'm excited to see how the rv holds up on these crazy roads ahead of us.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Bragg Creek is a hop skip & jump from Calgary & my stomping grounds. It was pretty wild to have you shoot areas of Elbow falls that I had taken still shots of! The ice cream shop is cool too, candy & ice cream, can’t go wrong with that! That area is truly beautiful & any month of the year you could have all 4 seasons! It’s the joy of living in the foothills of the Rockies.

Welcome to Canada and to my backyard when you your were on your way thru to Kootenai National park You drove thru the town I live in Cranbrook BC I grew up in Edmonton the capital of Alberta but spent many years in the Calgary area the area's you have visited so far I know well I've camped hiked and skied all the area's also in the USA If you get a chance go to Calgary and check out the Calgary Zoo oh be Bear aware there are black bears and grizzlies in the area

[@wildrvlife]

That's awesome! And that whole area is so beautiful, we have enjoyed getting to visit.

[@deborahswanberg6144]

A forced unplug is always good. Do it more often.

[@randallgriffith6416]

Well, that was a cool getaway. Thanks for sharing. I agree that living in the Brinkley is a higher level of glamping than he off-grid dome. I really like when you show the menu at the restaurants. I helps us see what the costs are doing (how much higher they keep going). Please feel free to linger a little longer over the menu so we can check it out. 🙂

[@wildrvlife]

That is a good point! I'll have to try and include it more often (remember this was Canada so those were in CAD), but I can definitely relate on the 'keep going higher' part 😅

[@jayner3981]

Bragg Creek is a beautiful small town, love all the different shops. With all the campgrounds around there, it gets very busy in the summer.

[@wildrvlife]

I bet it does get very busy! It was such a cute little area, we enjoyed getting to spend a couple days there

Fun video guys!!! I think you’re right, your rig is more glamping then the dome!! Totally get the weird weather thing. We were in Coeur d'Alene today and had sun, rain and hail all in the same hour!!! So Victoria, you can tell me. Craig has the pallet of a toddler doesn’t he? Like chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs and juice boxes… right? Safe travels guys! Looking forward to what’s next!

What funds you guys have to live on just wondering everything expensive

[@crashweekly7925]

I think every Floridian should visit Canada at least once in their life, not knowing anything about a natural fire place or how to set up a camp stove is just common knowledge for us Canadians. Also if the BBQ lighter runs out of gas you should still be able to use the igniter part to light the stove. Plus you also had matches at your disposal. Looks like you managed to get it figured out regardless.

[@wildrvlife]

Well, it turns out using the same technique we used in our wood burning fireplace that we had in our house in Florida basically worked just as well for a wood burning stove. Granted, we never let our fireplace burn through the night because that isn't really safe 😅 But, we do use BBQs in Florida too, by the way. I (Victoria) don't usually, but it's ok, that's why I've got Craig lol

Leave to me to bring up something negative. Sorry! But, I gotta ask…are there no bears up there?

Maybe I’m just a paranoid city girl🤷🏻‍♀ GLAD YOU’RE SAFE!!!
