Finally Making *THIS* Upgrade to my Car Camping Set Up

[@1Bonnie777]

Dogs eat grass when they have an upset tummy already. It helps them, and they know it as instinct. Sometime they use it as fiber to take things 'up', and sometimes they use it as fiber to help digestion.

[@Mari-xp8qm]

When acid builds up in our own stomachs, people often take an antacid knowing they'll feel better soon. In dogs, eating grass may have the same effect in acting as a 'natural antacid'. Most dogs appear to feel better after eating grass, but this relief is often temporary as most dogs vomit afterwards

[@heathercastle9219]

I was just going to send you a comment explain the same thing

[@CSC1steel]

Samers.

[@joannadavignon1608]

When we vomit the toxins are exited from our bodies

[@hfortenberry]

Yeah, it’s best to allow dogs to eat grass. We used to have five dogs and they all ate it at times. We just figured they had some nutrient deficiency and the grass was providing what they needed.

[@lawrencejohnson9154]

It's a myth grass is an antacid for dogs but they do eat it when they have a gut issue. It has no nutrients or benefits other than a dog trying to vomit, to clear their stomach of hopefully whatever is causing the discomfort. If a dog continues to eat grass over a period of time then a vet should be consulted.

[@JudithSingleton-h7j]

While I am watching this a yr. after you posted it, I just want you to know how much I enjoy you and Blue! I am an old woman in my 80s and I loved to camp and still would if I had someone to camp with me. Since I don’t, I am enjoying watching you! I love Blue and know that he passed over the rainbow bridge, but so glad you continue to honor him. Take good care of yourself!

[@Victor47930]

We have the same fridge - took it on a dozen camping trips so far this year and it's a game changer from an ice cooler. You may want to consider plugging it into a portable battery and then plugging the battery into your car's 12V. Also note that the it will fluctuate +/- 2 or 3 degrees. Keeping a fridge thermometer in there is useful too. I hope you get better soon.

[@jjc2323]

great advice! I have similar car fridge and did not consider this. I don't have that 12v in the back. and just got a ECFLOW River 2 max. excited to try this out.

[@fotomotoxxiii]

Plug your fridge into your power station and your power station into your car. Also use your solar panel so you're not killing your battery during the day and have a way to charge your power station!! Awesome score on free fridge!! Usually there is a voltage drop in the rear outlet and your compressor won't kick on right. Power station will supply clean power you want for the fridge.

[@sodbuster518able]

A lot of 12 volt cooler s are thermoelectric with no compressor

[@fotomotoxxiii]

@@sodbuster518able I believe what she got is an actual refrigerator/freezer. So yes it will have a compressor. Danfoss or knock off.

[@betsyirving9177]

I think I saw she had the Ninja Power Station what kind of solar panel does she have the same brand? 120W??

[@mariahorsfield76]

Does it use ur battery when car is not on will it kill it ??? How does it work I would like to get one ❤❤

[@HeavenlyMama1]

Maria I’m so glad you got a fridge that doesn’t need ice! You might need some form of power to keep it working. Anyway I hope you feel better soon. I am sending prayers your way tonight. Xoxo

[@briancclevenger]

For a cold, the best out there that works wonders is Oscillococcinum. It's all natural and you can take it anytime. I've had my portable fridge for two years and love it. When driving long distance, it's plugged in to the 12vdc outlet in the car, when the car is off I use my Jackery solar gen to power it so food stays cold. If you leave yours plugged into the 12vdc car plug, just be sure that car outlet is not on all the time when the car is off or the car battery will not start the next time. Hope you feel better, your smile is amazing but shines better when you're all well. Take care Maria and stay safe.

[@DARKDURELL2]

I’m new and have want to know have you been to my hometown New Orleans , La

[@jasonsandifer3250]

I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their own actual realities of vehicle living, and some have expressed some of the the ups, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. I believe that it is very helpful and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through the possible challenges, and some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc. People need to know the up sides as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been very informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others KZbinrs sharing this with your viewers will is very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with another traveler as I watched their KZbin channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety items That may help you or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Carry Extra portable phone chargers and cables. Mini portable power charging station. I have seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, this may be useful to have, to power your devices. Cellular booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost your cell reception, Research to see what you prefer. Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating or camping situations. Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts and location updates that can be sent to your family and emergency first responders. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. Mini portable vehicle battery charger-( portable vehicle battery jumper cables ) Vehicle Jumper cables Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. Exterior vehicle cameras Interior vehicle cameras Flashlights or pluggin spotlights Portable spotlights and lanterns Keep a few whistles around your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies. Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Although, I just noticed your KZbin channel, and other similar channels. You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors and Nature Wherever you find yourself Just..Please continue Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All. God Bless You, and everyone Traveling, or living in their vehicles. Be Safe... Author Advocate for Humanity, Safety Advocate Jason Sandifer, Michigan 10/01/2022, 10/02/2022

[@nothingspecific.8119]

Yay! 🎉Congratulations!🎉 You finally got one! You will not be sorry! Enjoy not stopping for ice constantly!👍

[@susansmith4112]

Roaming love your content so much fun to watch. Just wanted to say as a woman be careful about telling people where your located until after your gone. There’s a lot of crazy people out there. You probably already know that but just sayin. I learn so much about camping out with the videos. Be safe.😇

[@gonagain]

You're going to like that fridge, Setpower makes a high quality product. Glad you got that because you deserve it.

[@campingwithcruz5808]

Praying 🙏 you get to feeling better soon. Colds 😢are no fun

[@Northanteus]

Look into getting a multi tool. They can be used for many miscellaneous things including lifting up lids on plastic containers. 😉 Look up Leatherman, Victorinox, etc. Also, if you don't have already, buy a few cans of Bear Spray. ☺️

[@mollywatson161]

Love the fall. My favorite season too! We have pretty colors popping out here.

[@ScotTheGr8]

Maybe you already have a hundred comments that say this already, but you will need a battery like a goal zero or jackary to power that guy. Suggest something along the line of 1000 watt hours. Driving a lot will keep the battery charged using that car outlet. IIf you don’t drive lots then you will need either a charging connection to your car battery/alternator or some solar panels. You’ll love the fridge. I always hated floating, water logged food when camping.

[@tacoma_jon]

A fridge is a game changer. I’ve used one in my Tacoma for two years now when camping

[@CookingbyCampsite]

This is going to change your car camping experience forever! I’m so excited for you! Umm. That’s not going to work plugged into your 12V in your car because when your car is off it’ll be off. If it’s an “always on” 12V source then it’ll work but it will drain your battery. You’ll need to hook this up to a battery pack eventually. Lol, those are the same eggs I buy. Vital farms. So damn expensive but so good. Worth the money.

[@roamingreckless]

Thank you!!

[@roamingreckless]

Yeah I realize that. For now it’s fine because it locks the cold temps for four hours and when I turn it off at night it’s 30° outside. So I’ll be fine thru the winter! Next summer will be the issue, but by then with the new rig I’m hoping for a solar constant set up

[@CookingbyCampsite]

Nice!! Let me know how this works because I’m in the market for one. I was looking at a Dometic but it’s twice the price of that one it appears.

[@Stubby1031]

That crooked pillar on the right at 5:27 is giving me anxiety 😂 hope it doesn’t collapse on ya!

[@chucky6367]

Same! It's messing with my ocd 😂

[@susansharp112]

Great fridge setup. So excited for you new rig you will feel like you’re living in a mansion after living in a car. Enjoy your content. So Real !!!

[@roamingreckless]

Literally!! I’m excited. Thank you!

[@757Adventurer]

Buying one. New Lift, tires, wheels, cheesy bed tent until next weekend at Overland expo East. Next was actually a fridge to replace my center console( removing the folding seat) Perfect timing.

[@meelliemoe]

I remember this camp site!!! Grass just sorts back out the animals tummy. It’s good for them. Cats use it to pass out hair balls and dogs use it to settle and sort things out. Just rough on you if he has to puke while in the car. You’re absolutely right about the finger nail it hurts so bad because of all the nerve endings.

[@JDS-Dalton]

I've got that same fridge, been running it for a couple months now and it's been great! When I have it in dual zone mode, I keep the freezer section at 8°F and the fridge at 35°F. If I'm just running the fridge, I keep it at 35°F

[@suzannekrimmer659]

Sending you healing loving energy, hope you feel better soon!❤

[@daddybob6096]

Dogs eat grass when they're not feeling well, Maria. I think it helps them to throw up to get rid of whatever is bothering them.

[@truckcampinglife]

I just want to say I love this channel and think you are a Bad-Ass. I too live in Michigan. I hope to run into you one day and maybe hangout. I have a truck camper and have camped all over Michigan. No campgrounds for me either. be sure to not block the vents on the fridge.

[@brittanythompson4082]

I didn't realize how often I do different "voices" or accents until I started watching your videos! I love watching your adventures with Blue.

[@williamrandall6472]

Congrats on your new fridge Maria,soooo incredibly happy for you. I sure hope you definitely get feeling better, hopefully I will meet you some time out here,on the wide open road.Ya can never have too many friends.

[@mikea69vette65]

Used to camp in the same generation Subaru Outback as yours [‘05 & ‘06]. Could fit a twin size mattress between the inner wheel arches which left little storage areas either side of mattress down by tailgate. Would also use floor behind front seats and the entire passenger seat and foot area for storage since i was literally solo w/ no pet or companion. It was great and i miss it a lot! These vids bring back awesome memories!! Love that you’ve upgraded to a Defender w/ pop up!! Keep up the good work, have fun, and be safe! ⛰️ 🏝️ 🌲 🌳 🚙

[@kevincrooks639]

That's a great fridge. Just got back from a weeks camping. Having a fridge made it easy. No running to town for ice. Heard you mention on the livestream about tall people using an Outback for camping. I'm 6'3" and took out the passenger seat to get enough room. My car is now a one passenger!

[@Clarinda1963]

Glad u got the frig freezer. That’ll be so nice.

[@detraed8962]

You still sound sick, but get well soon!!! Glad you got your fridge! I bought one for my house and it comes in handy.....basically a 2nd fridge mini one.

[@amilehighguyjjay6097]

Hope you feeling better. I missed a few of your last videos. But I'm so excited to binge watch them at work tonight! 😅 I lobe your energy and you inspire me and I'm sure so many others that watch your channel. Wishing you the best of luck through fall time, going into the winter season also. Stay safe. -jjay

[@thunderstruck5484]

I have tubes of neosporin all over the place I’m always getting cut or nicked or torn etc and that really heals it up quick, at least for myself, thanks for taking us along camping! and congrats on living the dream,!

[@nyakundibose6972]

Put a wedge/stopper (appropriately) to prevent the fridge moving while driving. Good for you Ms.

[@jaynewarriner7214]

They eat grass to settle their stomach. It's not what causes the upset if there opportunity to try to calm it. If they throw up after eating grass it's because they needed to something didn't set right🙂

Congrats on the *DUAL ZONE* fridge (smaller dual zones are a newer item and so far cost a lot of $$$; the Setpower price is excellent, most are in the $900-$1600 range (PSA beware of shady descriptions for dual zones if using amazon; some are, some are not ...)); In case of any interest; Northern Michigan is the location of one of the world's best Lutherie schools (it's famous) - people from all over the world go there to learn Lutherie (mainly for guitars).

[@dianeschmiane]

Oh man, I look forward to this day myself!

[@carolynelliott5135]

I’m so glad you purchased this so I have information for my car camping trips planned for 2023-2025. I wanna get a car refrigerator soon. My 2003 Subaru “Little Baby” Baja has a standard Igloo cooler in the covered bed. However the ice bag method is messy. I’m also looking at replacing my 20 year old Ru. I’ve had her the whole time and she’s quite the worker bee. Recently it became obvious there are major repair issues in the several thousands of dollars. So it is time to upgrade my rig too. My Westie Maltese mix dog Whitley loves traveling but the sleeping arrangement is tight. Another reason to upgrade as well.

[@annacummings5841]

Hemp hearts and flax plus chia seeds are delicious in oatmeal. 👍🏻

[@Sergio54321]

Yeah, I did the same thing to my nail last week. It really hurt. Put a little dab of first aid antibiotic ointment on it but didn’t use a bandaid. I cut the nail down to lessen the split. It’s healed but still a little sore. You’ll probably heal quicker.

[@rickdelaney9977]

Just subscribed from the Great White North. Love your journey. I think when dogs eat grass. They’re stomachs are already upset. I have no pets . But I do baby sit my daughters dogs.

[@Lunarstruck1]

I'm the same way, I take it as a personal challenge to see if I can figure out how to set something up without the directions first. Lol. The last time I used ice in a cooler my bf put it next to me on the seat and it dumped all over me on a cold day on the freeway. NEVER AGAIN. Hope it works smoothly awesome for you and happy camping!

Cool car fridge! Loved seeing Blue doing the Wild Thing! I'd sing that whenever sweetheart would zoom around or to start her on a race around. Ouch! The fingernail looks painful. I loaded up on oderless garlic to boost my immune system and of course Vit. C when I got the crud. I think it helped. Also Mucinex. Hope you're feeling better. Take care and God bless.

Good job on getting the new fridge. Glad you finally made the upgrade. The stickers look great too. You've got room on there for plenty more. Sorry about the broken fingernail. I feel your pain. Hope your cold clears up soon also. Love watching Blue play fetch. Did you ever try throwing him a frisbee? Good to see you back in MI. Enjoy the cooler weather and fall foliage. Yay! October in Michigan! 🎃

[@Fingerprintguy]

I just acquired my Bougerv dual zone. It fit perfectly in my '19 Outback. Fortunately I already had a slider built in so I can drag mine out just far enough to open the lid fully. What I do for powered is plug it into my Bluetti and the Bluetti into the car. Since the rear outlet switches off with the ignition I have sustained power during a road trip.

[@Random-Wanderer232]

[@angievironchi5590]

Hope you feel better. I got a set power fridge/freezer, not dual but I will say that if I pack stuff I don’t want frozen on the top it works. Used it for a cross country road trip and it worked great. Very energy efficient. Mine has low, Med, and high settings for the generator which helps with the efficiency. Enjoy your new fridge.

Be certain not to block vents on the cooler,also watch for DC plug 🔌 not to get hot in your 12 volt outlet.They consume a lot of amps of power.I have been using Igloo coolers in my 18 wheeler for yrs now saves on my food expenses.put a little thermometer 🌡️ inside to monitor your food temperature 38 degrees is optimal.
