Winter Tent Camping in Alaskan Blizzard

[@rla9889]

I love how Maria laughs. It's like she is always on the cusp of an existential crisis and she laughs to keep from crying😂

[@cristianmendoza1156]

Maria is fine

[@kaleylindsay8923]

@Shaniqua187wow this was so dramatic. I’ve heard her refer to herself as Maria in the past. It’s truly not that serious dude.

[@JoseBoots]

@Shaniqua187the world doesn’t have to cater to your needs. Learn to get over your trauma and be an adult.

@Shaniqua187what are you talking about? Girl you have too much time on your hands.

[@ScoobySteve555]

Psychopath is the word i think 😁

[@andrewmichalak5471]

Wiper issue: There's a small nut (that may be loose) holds the metal arm down - flip the metal cap up, where the arm attaches to the motor shaft (where your wrist was in video @ 2:03) and try to tighten. If it's not that, the splines on the motor shaft (what wiper arm slides over) might be stripped. Good luck!

[@bigG6023]

Yes that could be the issue 👍🏻

[@taskutvtrailers4496]

The wiper arm splines "should" strip out before the motor shaft splines. Probably just need a new arm assembly.

[@NewDayNewAdventure77]

Exactly! Give a try

[@dirtdude96]

doubt the motor shaft is stripped or the passenger side would do the same thing (One motor for both wipers)

[@Javy1021]

@@dirtdude96it’s not the motor shaft but the individual wiper arm shaft spline that might be either lose or striped but even if it is striped you can temporarily or some times permanently fix it by removing the bolt and arm and putting a pice of wire in between shaft splines and arm done it a few times on old trucks it works

[@simplybeingme]

Blue looks so cute in his winter gear!!! His little boots!

[@dangrcat]

what kind of dog is this? im not a dog person and now i want him

[@jimdarhower4945]

@ dangrcat - Australian Shepherd.

[@ja-bv3lq]

Blue is 1) more patient and 2) more understanding than any people I have ever met when you are trying to help them!

[@floridagal150]

You could use that tent inside your rig, why not! Bubbie is precious and he seems to have a blast in the snow.

[@BeachcomberNZ]

Would definitely be a warmer option than just sleeping in the open van.

[@r8ter316]

Merry Christmas! Such a meaningful quote. Hope this helps with chemo, wipers, etc Derek

[@venessalizabeth]

Ria’s perpetual optimism is contagious. I’ve been going THROUGH IT lately-but it’s impossible to feel like sh!t whenever I’m watching Maria and Blue do their thing 💙

Merry Christmas Maria and Blue! 🐾🎀🎄🎅

[@jpshipwash6240]

Really liking how you not only thermally protected Blue’s core, but especially his paws.

[@canecorsodude1224]

The Culla is a genius invention, glad you stayed warm out there!

[@jameswortley7921]

Your wipers should be a pretty easy fix, it's worth changing the spindle adapter "top hat" part number STC987 and the wiper arm part number PRC4276. If that doesn't fix the problem you will have to change the spindle behind the dash part number DKU500010. I hope this helps

[@roamingreckless]

Thank you!!

[@dangeroustoman]

Just try tightening the nut that holds it on. ​@@roamingreckless

[@fueledbyadventures]

Try tightening the nut on the spindle first. Might fix it for the time being

[@cleopatrablackwell3414]

This was so kind! Thank you for sharing knowledge.

[@Kitsune2009]

Oh me next! I have an emissions leak that no one can find, fix mine now 😂😂😂…but for real that’s so nice of you to give the info and parts info

If the culla was as awesome as it seems, you really should consider putting one in your rooftop. Fantastic backup.

High five to all the k9 buddies faithfully hanging out with their crazy owners. I just absolutely love dogs, my one is on the end of the bed right now, with two pillows!!!

[@kaycescudder5748]

I Really enjoy watching you because you're fun you love your dog as much as I love my dog and you're not afraid to adventure all by yourself you do better alone and that's how I love to just have me time to set my mind where it needs to be and I absolutely love your adventures❤❤❤❤ BE SAFE ON ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS ❤❤❤

[@debbie62140]

I'm English and I know Land Rovers. It looks like your wiper is slipping on the spindle. The wiper arm is intentionally made from a softer metal than the splined spindle so that if the wiper arm gets stuck, in ice for example, the splines inside the arm strip to save the spindle.. You need a new wiper arm, but as a temporary fix, take off the wiper arm and slide a small meatal paperclip into it so that when you replace the arm it will make a friction fit against the spindle. If you don't have a paperclip, try a small piece of rolled up tinfoil.

[@aliciacarpenter71]

Oh my gosh! Stop, I can not handle Blue in his doggy snow gear. ❄️🤩

[@RickyD1968]

[@katarina1852]

Blue is so cute putting her paw on Maria as she speaks to the camera. Since Blue doesn’t see any people that her mom could be talking to, she assumes mom is talking to her. So she extends her paw as if to say “I’m right here mom, why are you talking to me and not looking at me”? So stinkin cute!❤️ Happy camping, don’t let the polar bears bite!! And Merry Christmas Ria and Blue!🎄🥰⛄️🎅🏼🎁

[@grozint]

Wished that I could see snow out of my window like that right now. So beautiful.

[@rjommp]

Hi I'm Rick from Michigan The wipers are each attached to a round base and either the end of the wiper needs replacement or the base that it's attached to. As a temporary fix cut some small pieces of reynold's wrap and place on the round base then place the base of wiper over it. That should stop the slippage that you're hearing when it gets stuck.

[@rajgill7576]

Windshield wiper motots have these splines on them that the receiver for the wipers goes onto. If it goes loose/the extra weight of snow can strip them round if they're drifting both ways. If it's just an offset wipe, it's probably just tilted or loose, but it could lead to it basically ruining the motors splines. I've only worked on this sparingly a few times, but every time, it needed a new wiper motor if the wipers get all floppy, like you explained. If you can see a photo of the part before you order, it should show whether or not it comes with that metal spliney gear part. Good luck!!

@Roaming Reckless... a few quotes I like from that book : “All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.”.................... “Many people say that you have to love yourself first before you can love others, but really, if you learn to love others, you will learn to love yourself.” .............and ..............“The real glow up isn't proving the people from your past wrong." Keep reading... GREAT BOOK!
