    Like you videos a lot. Good to see a new one with Gunther too. I think you got pushed out by the Rv's and their inconsiderate generators. For the longest time I or we (my fiancee) thought we wanted a RV of some sort. Looked at them etc. After I took a 6 week solo trip way out west, did disperse camping, boon docking, paid at RV camp grounds and sites. Realized there in no way in hell wanted one. They defeat the purpose of escape into the wilderness and void the appreciation and solitude. It's bringing your home and comforts with you. I could hear those generators in your video, could tell they were defeating the spirit. I like being able to go to spots where Rv's cannot. There is a lot of them when you have a SUV/4Runner. Don't get me wrong, I do like the teardrop style, mini camper trailers with no generator. Maybe in the future. Merry Xmas, holidays all that joyous stuff! You camped all year!

      Merry Xmas! 🎅🏼 I guess if it’s you’re only home, or if you’re traveling for many months, I get the appeal of RVs. For week or weekend getaways, I dunno. Like you said, might as well stay home.
      Last time I was out there, you could get off the road a little bit, on your own, and that’s what I was hoping to. But overuse wrecked that option.
      Ah well. Next month is at a campground, but tent only. So hopefully more peaceful 🤞🏻

    It's unfortunate that because Sedona is so spectacular and popular...the flip side is that restrictions are being put in place. We used to take day trips from Prescott all the time but no more...on a positive note we're exploring more and different areas.
    A question...do dispersed sites have "quiet times"?? That trailer was sooo close to you!!☹️

    • @ShoestringMartha

    The decorations were so cute and made me smile. Close campers aren't too bad unless they are noisy or come with generators. You handled that really well. I would have had to take alot of deep breaths and probably put some headphones on to get myself out of the grumps.

      Go for it! I’m going to mention it in the recipe video, but I’d grind them finer, and you can also heat the water and melt the butter in it and add it to the crumbs to make it doughier.

      This is true and that is a great tip! That can was from inside, so it was warm, and ignited. The flame was just really REALLY low. Excruciatingly low, when you’re waiting for that first cup of coffee. 🥱
