"Bubby's sister!" OMG! Can't wait to see her! 🐶

[@DoctorHayduke]

The Bubby Cam makes me feel like a tiny caveman riding an albino mammoth, and that is both a novel and delightful experience!❤❤❤

That's HILARIOUS & ADORABLE!! He's probably a GOOD cuddler!! 😊

Does Bubby eat a raw diet?

[@DieselProdUS]

Maria, when removing a battery, always take the negative(black) cable off first then the positive(red). When installing, put positive(red) cable first then negative(black) cable. Never let your tool touch both cables at the same time either. Safe travels!

[@tomrowe1435]

Except on positive ground vehicles. :)

[@miteshraja4823]

Ty for this, you can learn something just by reading the comments 👍

[@drewschumann1]

Great tip. Your chances of arcing and ruining equipment are much less if you remove negative first .

[@robertj7834]

It's also important to remove the plastic caps covering the terminals....

[@mercedesclk320]

You are right mate .

[@corykey9187]

I was expecting more of an uproarious reaction from the commenters about 26:06! Congrats! Looking forward to the next video

[@johannaknight2104]

I was thinking, a person 2 dogs in a small truck? Nope. LOL. I'd need an RV for that. But good for them!

I love watching you and Blue’s journey. My 11 y/o chocolate Lab has Copper Storage Disease. It’s hard knowing he’s sick but we are trying to let him live his best life. You take such wonderful care of Blue. Warrior on!! 💙

[@normanmallory2055]

I give you a tip from the shop ; Disconnect negative- clamp first !! When you reinstall the battery connect positive + clamp first and negative- clamp last !

[@Mitch93636]

Congrats Maria and Blue on getting featured in OVR. I remember back in 2018, when you and Blue were featured in InTouch.

[@donniejmanos]

For future reference, always connect your positive first and your negative last. This prevents any arcing or explosion in case you accidentally hit metal while tightening positive.

[@Ellesar1978]

I have to say that I just realized two things. I know it might not be such a big deal but I would feel worry some sleeping while my dogs is out in the middle of nowhere thinking an eagle might pick him up or a snake might bite him. Two, I would buy myself one of those portable gas stoves for camping and I'm sure you can make some yummy food there. Keep up the great work.

[@SandySellards]

Or a mountain lion..not safe!

[@JustSayTyy]

to be a fair an eagle could never swoop down and pick up her dog. Its a full size aussie. Now a puppy, that's different. 2nd, dogs are very smart and an aussie is even smarter than normal dogs. I'm sure her dog would not go near a snake or even attempt to attack one. It would keep its distance. Even if a snake somehow snuck up on her dog, they have better senses/hearing than us humans. Remember dogs derive from wolves. Her dog is at probably at peace and at home when he's out there.

[@erikavargs]

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!! Omgoodness! Can't wait!! 🐕🐕

[@angelas4681]

Bubby Cam is my favorite thing ever. Edited to add...OMG, "Bubby's Sister"??? 💕

[@PhatboyHD88]

You should get Blue a apple air tag collar , just in case he chases a rabbit or something and either gets lost or god for bid hurt you can use your phone to find him .. thats what i do with my dog when we go on a camping fishing trip , just gives you a piece of mind knowing you can always find him 👍

[@belami_irl8543]

💯

[@melissaandell9966]

I’m almost 100% sure he has one. I’ve see. His collar.

[@JarodWilkerson]

Airtags rely on an apple device being nearby to update the location... They're better than nothing, for sure, but a true GPS collar (like the Fi I think it's called) would probably be better suited for them, I think.

[@PhatboyHD88]

@@JarodWilkerson i can be at the lake and find my air tags miles and miles away.. they rely on your phones connection , if you have service on your phone they work. The air tag is just a receiver that gets pinged from the satellite your phone is getting its connection from .. trust me i wouldn’t lie.. try one you will see . Thats why people put them in their car in case it gets stolen .. they can find their car , that is the whole purpose for their being created .. try one you will see.

[@JarodWilkerson]

@@PhatboyHD88 I'm aware, I have some Airtags. They will always show the last location that was recorded when you look in the app, but they do indeed need a compatible Apple device nearby to update the location accurately. That's literally just how they work. If the dog moves away from an apple device, the location wont be accurate. This information is easily obtained by looking at the specs of Airtags the Find My network. GPS is far more accurate.

Newer viewer here and I just want to drop in and say I love the way you interact with Blue. Some people I watch treat their pups like objects, but I can tell you see blue as more then a dog. He’s your best friend and kiddo! He’s so lucky to have an awesome adventurer mama like you to raise him and provide for him

[@billyc5914]

Always remember to disconnect & connect ur ground connections last when when working on ur batteries, it will avoid any fireworks if u touch any grounded metal. Just a little reminder, u probably know that already. I watch all ur vids. U & Blu r living the dream everyone wishes for.❤❤

[@myjourneytosanity]

I have a Service Dog, whom I love soooo much, but I just have to say that Blue makes me so happy. I love seeing him happy and when he's in a cuddly mood, he really does look like the perfect dog. Now don't tell Bailey I said that.

This video felt like a throwback to your old Subaru videos, where you'd just be hanging out at campsite, playing with the dog, editing, cooking (laptop playing some podcast in the background), running into town etc. I kinda missed those more mundane 'day in the life of' type vids.

[@donna2753]

I love that grocery store in Moab! It was such a pleasure meeting you and Blue as we were heading back to our camp in Canyonlands after driving through Arches National Park. You are as sweet as can be and Blue is just as beautiful and cute in person. I think I talked about you and Blue and all your adventures nonstop back to our camp! My husband is a car fanatic and is enamored with Poe. Congratulations on the feature in OVR! I will definitely be getting a copy. Praying for Blue all the time. He has the best mom ever. I had to rewind a good couple of times and really look at that!!! I look forward to every video and now especially the next one! Best to you and precious Blue. Donna and Don ❤

My other dog, could care less 🤣 Happy Trails!!

OMG a vanlifer (well, technically an Overlander) who isn't a vegan who basically lives on avocado toast and kale! A stereotype (or cliche? meme?) destroyed by chicken sausages and a meat and raw egg-loving Sheltie! Major points earned here. And note that I love avocado, toast and kale and all the other vegan standbys. It's just that, well, it's gotten to be such a tired cliche (stereotype? meme?) and someone had to put it to rest, and that would be you and Blue. Extra points for the new battery and tool kit!

[@kandyggurl]

Keep an extra battery in ur car please . And extra oils. Jumpers etc. That day u got stuck was scary. So lucky ppl cam to help but keep extra parts etc in ur car somewhere. Keep hothands etc.

She does have an extra battery in Poe, that’s why all she had to do was switch out the spare battery with the dead one. Most all diesel engines require you to have two batteries at all times!

Just a tip, ALWAYS put your ground cable on LAST... ALWAYS hook up your positive cables FIRST... That way you will never short out a tool tightening up a terminal... Great job swapping out batteries. not too many women will attempt to do that themselves. Kudos to you...

What I've learned from these videos is that I love my little stationary mobile home in my senior living area in the Southern California desert. I work on improving the home every year. I have a community center with golf and pools. I have stores within a mile and not as much traffic as the bigger cities. Even if I was younger, I would never do what you are doing unless I was forced to. I'm glad you enjoy it. Great videos.

Multimeter! Get a multimeter, even a cheap one, you can check your batteries to see if they are healthy/charged (11-12 volts), you can make sure your truck is charging and not overcharging the batteries (13-14volts). Good to have for troubleshooting stuff around the car.

[@jonarnejorgensen1179]

A little tip when disconnecting/connecting batteries. ALWAYS disconnect the negative first. And with a dual system like you have, on both negative. When installing ALWAYS connect positive first. If you do the opposite, the risk is that the wrench get in contact with ground, which is mostly the whole car. That WILL make a short circuit, which might be just a spark if you are lucky, or a red glowing hot wrench/tool or a battery catching fire. People have put their cars on fire that way, or got seriously burned.

[@goodykei]

[@tazmurphy187]

For the shower Idea, you can do a Australian shower with is a waterproof cloth and strainer hanging from a tree or higher item. Just fill the container full of water and hang up. It will be cold but will give you the sensation of a shower. Tarps wrapped around to give you privacy if need it.

Also, regarding showering. Have you looked into a shower/toilet awning unit like KickAss or IronMan makes. Pretty compact when closed up along the side of the truck, really quick to setup. Couple that with one of the USB rechargable battery powered shower units and a 2 gal collapsible bucket and you can have a shower whenever you have the water capacity on board.

Safety tip. Always disconnect the ground first and reconnect it second.
