Stay safe Rosa, especially using a camping stove in such a small enclosed space. It's not the fire risk but the carbon monoxide they produce, and Coleman models are especially notorious. Sleeping in the same space afterwards I would be careful to ventilate the car for a while first, say by running the car heater for a while with the blower on high to bring plenty of fresh air from the outside. Perhaps get yourself a carbon monoxide alarm to see if it's a problem.

When I wake up at 0°C I most certainly don't jump out of bed as quickly as you do, haha! Also, jealous that you guys have 24/7 supermarkets ... One day, I WILL have my car shipped over to the US and take my trips over there. The nature there is simply astounding.

Rose if you use a tarp with bungee cords and cover your vehicle and then hook the bungee cords under your bumpers. Then all you would have to do is take the bungee cords off the bumpers.

Hi Rosa - Mammoth gives me great memories - after 7 hours of driving from SD and sleeping in the parking lot of the slopes, then waking up in the parking lot covered in snow - even in the 1980's their snow control was excellent. Then hit the ski slopes at 7am - your videos are such great content. Such a treat to get a new 🔔 Rosa notification. ❄👍

I want that blanket!! I would love living in a car. I actually did for several months, traveling the country. I left from Florida(Gainseville) and traveled west. I wish I didn't have to sleep in the front seat though. It was an Acura Legend, and I was heading to Colorado, but I went to meet a buddy I used to game with, and met his GF's sister, and somehow ended up in New Mexico, then Arizona..... I met a guy in Tuscon, and 10 years later, he asked me to be his best man. Life is strange, isn't it? I hope more people try and travel. Good things will happen. I woke up in Texas after a long night on I-10, and this road runner was sitting in front of my car, and I saw the most beautiful sunrise ever..... ever. Cheers

About the places that don't handle snow well - you won't believe it - Toronto, Canada! Two years ago, the news were full of a major snowstorm coming or way. For about two weeks it was hyped up in the news, everybody was talking about it and when it finally happened, no one was surprised. Almost no one, except the city. In spite of two weeks of media hype, the storm caught them completely off guard and the snowploughs were still sleeping in storage. It took them two days to get them mobilized and finally hit the streets. That was unbelievable...! A masterpiece one could say...
