Unprepared Car Camping in a Winter Storm Warning | 50 State Road Trip

[@Fingerprintguy]

Pasty is a Cornwall England thing. 1st baked for the miners who needed to eat a meal underground. Had them all the time at my grandparents house. They were from Cornwall.

[@jamesbar100]

That dog loves you so much. A dog’s love is unmatched.

[@miniharez]

If you get a 1/2 inch insulation foam board from lowes, get aluminum foil to form fit your windows, tape up the foil to keep its shape, then get the mold, and trace and cut out insulation for all your windows, you will see how much it blocks the cold that emanates from your thin glass windows. game changer for me! when you pull them off in the morning you feel the cold rush in 🥶 fyi the huge form board that I got was $10.99 and it got all my window.

[@maryburr3145]

lol

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

I loved when Blue was running around after you put the boots on him...he was so happy to be running around ...awwww

[@majid3252]

the relationship between you and your dog is beautiful. love these winter camping videos. please make more of them next winter. stay safe out there🤠

[@meelliemoe]

Blue’s morning face is too funny. It’s like he needs his dog version of coffee to get functional 😂

[@mufasta8322]

4:44 His eyes just squinting while you're putting on his snow boots brings out a particular expression/emotion from blu 🤣😂🤣. Kinda like "not these again" Lol

[@livesplendid3728]

My darling that's a CORNISH pasty. They originate from Cornwall and are still eaten today all throughout the UK!

[@margsyn]

I really love your dog. You all are so sweet together.❤❤

[@crazycatlady7190]

Love Blue’s sleepy face. What an adorable baby 💕💕💕

[@IamKoeKoe]

Blues face while you're putting on those boots is the best!! He is over it.

[@ProudAmericanPhil]

There's always a third option other than coffee and tea that would be hot chocolate.

[@sweetlifeofHoney]

Cider :)

[@dylanzak7085]

That’s crazy snow already. Blue is precious safe travels to you both.

[@itpatriot]

Hey I wanted to tell to you about the best thing you can use to protect Blue’s paws in the snow! Get yourself some Musher’s Secret- it will be life changing for Blue’s time in the snow! I started using it on my pup when I lived in Vail, CO and we hiked daily in the snow! It seems short of like Vaseline but it’s a thin sort of wax that really protects them! The snow will not ball up and it seems to moisturize their paws too! Btw- soul sister here with the cold weather! I LIVE FOR IT!!!❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@maryjanespangler7488]

OMGOSH, pasties! We used to eat those when I was a little girl. When I got a little older, my sisters and my mom and I would make big batches of them so we could all take some home. I haven’t had one for a very long time, think I’ll make some this weekend. They are so good!

[@xtrekkmpr2016]

Yeah, me too I’m so ready for the winter and the snow. I’m done with the heat, the wildfires, the mosquitoes, and the drought…

[@edwardholliday3]

I miss Michigan I'm from their Kalamazoo left in 1999 it's sure nice to see the snow and grass and trees and your great videos with blue Michigan is the best state I live in Nevada no snow no grass no trees my mom is still their 84 years old be safe you sweet heart 💜❤️ in I can't wait till you get your big 🚛🚒. Great blog your getting bigger, keep it up

[@robertgwinn8406]

Ty for sharing You got me building my subaru camper. Got the floor insulation in next the windows. I've always wanted to do this. Nows the time

[@nothingspecific.8119]

The temperature was about °28 when I got up and out early this morning, in upstate NY! I'm living in my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT, and am headed down south to warmer weather in about 2 weeks! Can't wait!.... Stay safe out there Maria! P.S I love that hat!! 😁👍

[@esostoopid]

Where in upstate are you and where are you heading??

[@seanmccutchan2361]

Congrats on 40K subscribers! So well deserved. You are a rock star and the sky's the limit. Love your content and looking forward to you ascending to KZbin stardom. Thanks so much & safe travels.

[@anitaquerry8844]

Nov 2024 and she’s at 256k 🎉

[@iankelly4008]

I appreciate your personality. You're beautiful and sweet. Blue is one lucky pup. I see your videos and it reminds me if my long gone husky puppy. I've been robbed on the road before. I had a Magellan taken right from my car window. Look forward to seeing your new rig.

[@jules6499]

All Michigan dogs love snow. I do too but not like a pup does!

[@ronethridge9875]

Sweet blue thanks much 😀😀😀

[@crazymichigander7204]

Yeah I know snow already, I'm down here in the southern most part of Michigan and we had a dusting all ready nothing big but the ski resort nearby is getting ready.

[@amybear2941]

My Favorite place to hike with my Dog is Michigan. Love Blue ❤ You make us laugh , So does Blue . Great adventures with your best friend.

[@drivingmissmolly]

Just a tip for Blue and the winter boots: Dogs expel heat through their paw pads, so if your dog is warm enough, they won’t need paw covers or booties. If he hates the booties more than he hates jackets, maybe consider getting him a “Hurta Extreme Warmer” jacket or something of that nature.

[@hsoderberg6505]

Main thing is that they don't get snow in between their toes that then freezes.

[@islandGG]

Wow.. winter snow ⛄️ ❄️ and it's 90deg 🥵 here in SoCal. Be safe and stay warm and fuzzy!!

[@pamelastevens8136]

The literal eye roll as you are putting his boots on is hysterical. 😂

[@mannybravo237]

Maybe fold up thermal longjohns, keep em under your pillow for surprisin' colder weather! Blue knows snow-fun!

[@Elysian40772]

We need a "boot" word counter also ❤ I love watching the shopping for winter gear and food, it's like ASMR for me.

[@psykotikdiva6699]

Blue is like "But Mom there's still SNOW!!" LOL

[@rebeccaburke5404]

Love your content I also live out of my car .its an awesome lifestyle if you know how to do it right And girl you know how to do it right, keep up the great content!!!

[@MMTIGER7]

I freaking love your sense of humor and even in the edits. Love it Maria! Keep it up, you are Awesome

[@LuigiBull33]

It's the little things she does too. Like that Home Alone reference had me cracking up more than I probably should've 😂

[@jasonjones5213]

Ya, that got me too.I was probably laughing harder than I should have.

[@pamwoodard7834]

I

[@pamwoodard7834]

Jjjuuuiju

[@javy619]

Your a true warrior, I wouldn’t be able to sleep with that weather. Blue’s snow boots look like boxing gloves. 😂. Awesome video

[@LuigiBull33]

10:26 Maria can definitely pull off voicing a cartoon character with that. Damn near had me fooled. Thought you had a guest with you for a moment there 🤣

[@lionandthelamb9379]

I just bought a 12 volt car kettle from Amazon on the suggestion of another channel and I really like it. I plug it into my jackery and can do other things while it heats up for my morning coffee.

[@MaggieG70]

What is the name/brand of the kettle? Thanks

[@briancclevenger]

Hi ya Maria. If you put some window insulation on at night, it'll help keep the heat in. I use a 140w little electric heater, plugged into a DIGITEN Temperature Controller DTC102 Thermostat Outlet 2-Stage Temperature Controlled Outlet, then into my Jackery. I place the temperature probe level with me, then place the heater somewhere low (it has a tip over switch for shutoff safety) then set the DTC to 62 degrees. The DTC will turn on the heater when needed and then off. The best part about this, it dries the condensation out so no chance of mold. Hope this might help, it's super simple and works great. Take care Maria and stay safe.

[@MaggieG70]

What is the brand/name of the little 140 watt heater you use? Where did you purchase it? Thanks , I need one for my 300 watt Jackery

[@conniewaite1371]

Get a hot water bottle and use it in your sleep bag to keep warm.also fill a thermos for a quicker cup of coffee in the morning

[@Takeoffin321]

Oct 20th and no snow and sunny 65°skies here in NW colorado . Feeling lucky.. but weather coming in Monday..9 years in and I've slept in my clothes a lot.. Always good to jump in the driver seat when u need to w clothes on😁

[@amywest9642]

Omg he looks so cute in his winter boots.stay safe and safe travels

[@joannataylor9118]

My daughter and I just got back from Michigan yesterday boy did we get lucky. I thought it was going to snow yesterday but I guess it was today. Anyways it's actually warmer in Indiana it was freezing yesterday so I can imagine what the temperature is where you're at right now. Stay safe have fun

[@Cyclops1983]

Lol Dogs can be in snow for longer then 30 minutes. They hunt, pull sleds and work in snow for hour's. Stay safe. Great video

[@roamingreckless]

But mushers have boots they wear 😭 I just worry about blue that’s all lol

[@Cyclops1983]

@@roamingreckless better safe then sry lol no wrong in that! 😁😁👍👍

[@angelatm1000]

I can't believe the snow you have there. I'm in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada right on Lake Superior. We have no snow and tomorrow's weather is suppose to be +15°C.

[@lo8337]

Enjoying your vlogs, sense of humor, and most of all Blue.

[@joannconfer1144]

Snow….. awesome, I live in Pennsylvania and can’t wait for the big one. It always looks so pretty. Blue really enjoys it… a lot. It was fun watching him. Thanks for sharing. ❄️❄️🙋🏻‍♀️❄️❄️

[@betsyrose9233]

Sending WARM Vibes!!! Stay safe and well you both…

[@ToddtheFox96]

I remember It snowing in the middle of July While growing up In Idaho

[@stanleyolszewski7701]

Blue’s face when you first put on his boots was priceless. 😂😂😂

[@shannonagain3]

I am the opposite of you in terms of preferring cooler/cold climate. I've lived in Wisconsin my entire life. I used to be an avid and active winter person (country ski, camp, hike, fish) but as the years add on I am inclined to chase the warmer climbs. Hopefully starting this starting spring/summer. Blue is definitely in his element...with or without booties, lol.

[@TheFlutterrbye]

🦋❣🦋I truly enjoy seeing the snow. Its pretty early in the year to be snowing. It's crazy weather. I live in S. California, our temperature today was 90. 😎I'm looking forward to cooler weather. 🦋❣🦋

[@Robert-qt9lg]

That's so cool it reminds me of when I used to take my mother's dog up to Oak Glen in Southern California the snow line around the end of October and it would start snowing it was so beautiful

[@NickAm01]

Those Pasties are the American equivalent to an Empanada. 🙌 🔥

[@stj971]

Exactly

[@hsoderberg6505]

Actually brought over by immigrants from Cornwall that came over to work in the mines. Practical food for miners to eat while working underground.

[@robertwernsing4566]

Hi Maria and Blue!!! Safe travels......

[@justinraywolfe]

7:57 Ya missed one! 😝 OMG, you two are cray cray adorbs. 🥰

[@mixmediaproductions]

When you go hike 5 miles and dark is happening, and it starts to rain. The Temp is dropping and you have no fire. You like it when some people happen down the trail, and you spend the night in the snow without a tent. Then you leave, and find you can not drive home, so you sleep in your car. Where you cook breakfast and then go into town to a motel.

[@rockylee6247]

Got to love the Aussie mine sheds like crazy

[@davidemm829]

All cozied up... looks comfy😄

[@danjackson9033]

Marie , I believe UTAH in UTAH city has been more Snow than MICHIGAN as far as I checked. Your state does get a lot too!!!! And my state Minnesota. We’re very close to Lakr Superior too!!! Dan here in ST.Paul & MPLS.,Minnesota ***Have a Great & blessed day!!!!!

[@nyakundibose6972]

Blue is a polar bear in disguise. Blue Love the snow (blue will be Blue).

[@jeffsamsundar5908]

Gotta love that lake effect snow. My dog loves the snow too! Looks like Blue is trying to hide those boots lol.

[@nassermj7671]

Yes delicious - I'll be over in a few!

[@lisaandrews1658]

How I love that dog.

[@itsscaeleycx]

i love when it snows early!

[@balthazarquinn]

Great video Maria! I loved watching Blue cuddle up to you for warmth - he’s such a loving, beautiful menace… I mean, pup. 😛 That hand-warmer trick is great! I’ll have to remember that when I buy my van. I was wondering if you had one of those ball throwers. You really do need one for a working dog like Blue. He has enough energy to be your sled dog if you ever have to rescue yourself from being snowed in. 😂 Thanks for another very fun video. ❤

[@hsoderberg6505]

Suggest watching Bunny Plays Here, she just posted a vlog of staying warm in a van.

[@elliothagen9874]

You should have with you. A sleeping bag that goes to -20f. A sleeping bag liner. & an electric blanket for the car.

[@ginaparalejas26]

Be safe! Cute that you have matching color hat and snow boots 🥰

[@eddiesanchez8571]

Double r, all that pasties needed is some fire roasted green chili.. lol. also, it would've warmed you up. Stay warm&safe.

[@ginaparalejas26]

Just like Chicago. The weather is so unpredictable!

[@mikelee7876]

Such a awesome pup. He loves to play exactly why I'm a dog person not a xat person dogs give so much love

[@dafuq1523]

Trying to catch up on Maria's older content. I always listen to these videos with earphones. At exactly 16:09-16-10, if you listen (and watch), it sounds like Blue is saying, "I love, mom." I must be hearing things.

[@lydiarosalieanndamiano7206]

Hot chocolate with marshmallows!🙏🇺🇸

[@ohnonotagain8935]

2 weeks ago! Oh my, winter IS going to be bad this year. Bundle up n stay warm

[@fredricjulien8738]

You're rockin the red and white carhart stocking cap Maria. Glad that you already had one in the roof rack. You can never have enough stocking caps in Michigan. Loved the matching red snow boots on Blue (even though they didn't last long). Have fun in the snow and don't eat too many of those pasties. Yes, as a fellow Michigander, I like them with ketchup too. 🐾 Blue's footprints in the snow when the snow boots came off. 🌨 Safe travels and keep warm. ⛄ 🎃

[@shesoutthere387]

I got the heck out of Dodge before the big storm this week end. We made it to Lake Mead NV

[@marieguillot8835]

Watching you walk and drive on that ice and snow gives me anxiety! I am not cut out for ice and snow since I'm from the deep south. I would be sliding all over the road and busting my ass repeatedly! Be safe out there!

[@garrettsmith8286]

Maria! Maria! How easily Blue & you bring a smile to my face! I can't believe I saw snow here in WI last week, wth is going on? I'm hoping to get up to the UP for the 1st time this winter to do some snow wheeling & outdoor activities! Looks amazing. Stay warm!

[@ralph5874]

Love your camp videos ! You have a great sense of humor 😂

[@JOYsCAmpeR_ADV]

There is nothing better than a furry dog to cuddle in winter nights!

[@Banagal]

Sweet dreams of snow banks and ice. Guess this October snow sort of “broke the ice”. LOL.

[@briellebarbagello7282]

Blue’s boot- a Bloot hahaha 💚💚💚💚💚

[@cyndifehler1361]

Weather tech makes window covers that insulate and provide privacy. Totally worth it for my Subaru Outback. Less than $175.

[@ashmartin6430]

That stop look sweet as... Snow and it's quiet! What a dream. Give blue a fist pump. He's awesome!

[@ronmullis4896]

Best vlog entry ever. Legend

[@alweiser6957]

Great tips😉👌 I just barely started watching your channel🤔 very very entertaining 😀 boy you don't age, the clip from 2018 looks the same as today's video 😊 have a wonderful and safe evening 🤘😇🤘

[@DuvAngel1]

You’re right where I’m going to be someday soon.Cudd’l Duds ( top and bottom, mild climate) from Walmart and sweatpants are the thing to wear in a car in the winter ~been there,done that. When I lived in Ironwood it was like living in a snow globe blizzard while 30 miles away it was clear.

[@vandafedyszyn4612]

Love pasties easy to make too 😊

[@mikejurnak0324]

Stay warm & Stay safe ✌🏻

[@txcowpatty]

When I heard about a snow storm warning for UP, I thought of you and Blue. Glad that you were sort of prepared and happy to be in it. I'm too South Texas to take any snow. Enjoy before it turns to slushy mud!

[@kayenne221]

I am loving your adventures with Blue. But..Please get him a harness for travelling. I couldn’t put my belt on, without knowing my dogs (just like my children) are also secure. You will fell great knowing he is protected incase of accident (which no one plans)

[@sparky42]

It was high 80's today here and I was swimming at my house in Florida .... just saying ;-))) plus Desantis is kicking butt !!!

[@persenubernation2244]

if blue is a australian shepherd then that weather wont even hurt him a little, our aussie could handle 25-C with ease before before she needed boots and we used to be outside all day sometimes. its a badass breed ☺ but its good you do what you think is best for your own dog 😊

[@stevesmith9221]

I'd agree that if a dog is active there's enough blood flow to keep feet warm, above 25f anyway. And a dog probably keeps car few degrees warmer too.

[@JordanHeller1]

GREAT UPLOAD. thanks Maria

[@jasonjones5213]

Supposed to get snow in Montana up on the mountain passes.It does look fun though.
