I'm a Brit living in the UK, the Land Rover Defender is a legend, it's an icon and I'm not surprised people stop you and say it's awesome!
“It tastes like chewing on a sock…but in a good way.” Yep, that’s a prime example of the way you look at the positive side of things.
one other super quick small thing. that salty humid air will wreak havoc on your rigs metal body panels (rust & corrosion). once you make your way away from the coast run by a car wash and rinse Poe if you're able.
💯
With regards to the sink. Remove the tape. Then put the stopper in the sink and fill it with water. Look under the sink and if it is dripping the leak is coming from the drain connection, use plumbers putty or silicone. If it is not leaking, remove the stopper and drain the sink, and watch where the water is coming from, then fix the connection with Teflon tape. (I did notice that there is a paper sticker on the bottom of the bowl where the drain is, I am guessing, that may be your issue. Good luck.
Like you, as soon as I saw that sticker, yep that could be the spot
You may want to look into a ThermaCell to repel the skeeters. You may also want to look into those screens for your doors since you have door frames on the Defender. I wonder if it would possible to get replacement windows for the back of Poe that open and have screens on them.....if you were interested. One last thing, you can get insulated window covers for when you are in colder climates. Love the adventures you and Blue have, I travel vicariously through your videos!
Head to the Texas Hill Country...Fredericksburg...Bandera...Leakey...all in the central part of Texas on the other side of San Antonio. Beautiful area with small towns. Welcome and enjoy your stay with us!!!
When I lived in Oregon, me and my friend would get Dutch Bros every morning, love that coffee
I love when people compliment you because I definitely would to. Your filming angles and stuff are getting better and better. Sending hugs to you and blue. Hope the leak is fixed ❣️🚐🌲💫
I had a bit of an idea....
The seat-base of a Defender is, as I'm sure you know, a separate, removeable, part of the seat.
It should be pretty easy to make an entirely new seat-base from wood.
The seat-base attaches with 4 steel pegs (two at the back and one on each side at the front).
It should be possible to make a wooden frame (out of, say 2" x 2" wood) and then put 4 bolts through it to replicate the 4 metal pegs that fix it in place.
You could then build a flat wooden platform on top of the frame that extends all the way forward to the dashboard, big enough for a proper dog bed, to give Blue more space, and you wouldn't have to worry about him slipping off the seat when you hit the brakes.
If you wanted to be really clever you could make the platform hinge at the back (kind of like a toilet seat) so it lifts up for Blue get in and out, and so you can access anything stored under the platform.
You could keep the original seat-base in the footwell, store stuff on top of it, Blue would have his platform AND you could swap everything back if you ever have a human passenger.
Also, while, I'm at it, you should buy yourself a half-decent air-compressor... and a foot-pump.
If you're planning on driving on beaches, it's best to lower your tyre pressure to avoid getting stuck.
Of course, once you've let air out of your tyres to drive on a beach, you'll need the compressor to pump them back up again when you get off the beach.
And, the foot-pump is for when, inevitably, the compressor decides to die just when you need it to pump up your tyres.
I liked learning about your suggestions..
Hey Maria and Blue another nice post, if the insects are really bad and you don't want them in the vehicle you are off to a good start turn off the lights to not attract so many of them, but I think you should get yourself a nice little bug-zapper that you can keep hung up in the corner, can hang it somewhere. A good enough one really works when we get quite a lot of fruit flies, mosquitos, etc. they end up dying in the zapper a lot sooner than later. The main thing is it works better in the dark as that would be the only source of light that would attract them to their own demise. Up to you what you choose, but it would make your insect worries much better.
Fantastic idea! I love it! Just make sure to avoid the chemical kind that baits them to the light. Get the bright light zapper only versions because they have carcinogens in the bait kind & are therefore only meant for outdoor use. After the research I've done, I would be upset if my neighbor put one in their yard because it spreads carcinogens that cover a 2 acre radius. Please be safe & get the old fashioned kind.
Also, I was thinking some of those mosquito curtains with magnets would help.
@@elisabethrobbins1053 Thanks for the further information when we take it in truth that is how knowledge gets passed, God willing we learn to seek the good knowledge, but in an imperfect world, I know there will be both parts to knowledge the good and bad. Find God find the good as He leads me and all who truly surrender and seek, to show me through His Holy Spirit. Thank you for the wise advice! God bless
Found your youitube videos today and you look like a really fun person to be around. Keep the videos coming.
You may want to have your fan blowing under your sink to dry it out to avoid mold. And I wonder if you get a small dehumidifier if it would help with the condensation in the rig. Blue looks so soft and clean 😍 he's such a good boy!
Oh, and yes, WA has DB❤
Get yourself some Damp Rids for Poe’s condensation. Dutch brothers are in Oregon and Washington. (I think based out of Oregon.
So glad he’s feeling better! He looks great!!!
I often google what my dog can eat so I am not feeding him something bad. I am sure Blue will be fine, but may end up with upset stomach, diarrhea or vomiting from oranges. I know he didn't eat much, just wanted you to be aware. Love watching you both and stay safe.
If you go up to North Texas to the Dallas Fort Worth area, I'd suggest driving to the Fort Worth Stockyards!
Dallas just had a tornado. That area is bad for tornadoes.
You should look into those screens that slip over your door so you can roll down your window. That would keep mosquitoes out and would help with the condensation if your window is cracked.
That's a big leap for Blue. Please always assist. He's not getting any younger. Flat land or gradual inclines will keep him fit for years.
There must be some sort of folding steps or ramp for Blue?
Inhate to hace clothes or especially socks get wet with water. Id be really upset with almond milk 😮n my shoe!
the real deal Land Over Defender!
Not sure what direction you’re heading through texas but here are some things I would recommend!
-Monahans Sandhills State Park
-Hamilton Pool
-Jacob’s Well
-Barton Springs
-Palo Duro Canyon State Park
-Fort Worth Water Gardens
-Marfa Prada Installation
-Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo
-Fort Worth Stockyards
Hope you enjoy the state! 🤠
Thank you!!
If you can Pedernales Falls is beautiful! For the mosquito problem I always have one of those rechargeable bug zappers with me. For the condensation you need some window screens so you can crack the windows. Don’t get the ones that go over the window. The defender is metal, so you could rig some with magnets to go inside the window frame.
You should try DampRid for the moisture in the truck. I live in SC, a very humid state, and they work rlly well for me.
Safe travels 😊
There is a Dollar Tree version of Damp Rid that works great.
Sooo excited to see a new upload and glad Blu is feeling better 💙 Chances are the mosquitoes hitched a ride on Blu's fur. Stay Safe and much love from NC 💜💙💜
Ok girl… here it is: if you take a peel from that orange and fold it with the orange side out, you’ll see the orange oil spray out of it in a fine mist. THATS what your pup knows that you don’t:) Just point towards your eyes or nasal cavity…and feel the buuurrrn….it’s instinctive for him:)
Now for your benefit: put a thickish bath mat or towel on your front seat so ‘bubby’s’ dirt/sand doesn’t cut into your nice leather and ruin it. All it involves is a quick shake and you’re good to go:)
A peice of rubber backed fake grass works well too.
So happy to see a new video from you! Hope Blue is feeling better. Excited for the rest of your journey! Stay safe!
Go to Home Depot or Lowe's. They have stuff that remove water build up in your truck.
Hey, I'm no professional, do you have proper ventilation in Bo while you sleep? I'm thinking that since the temp. probably drops, your breath while you sleep is generating a lot of moisture, not to mention the humid air around you. I've noticed it's not really collecting condensation on the ceiling during the day while you're in and out of the vehicle. So, maybe if you install a small fan near the ceiling to suck the humid air out at night... maybe that will help. Or, they have really cheap plug-in dehumidfiers that you can drain with a tube through a tiny hole in the floor. Or, as a temp. last resort... get a couple of those little closet silica-gel dehumidifier things to soak up excess moisture in the cab.
Just shooting some ideas at you for relief!
May want to stop and buy some liner for under your sink. Just so it'll catch water leaks and won't damage the wood.
Hey Maria and Blue!! Just wanted to say I love watching you two travel. Onto Dutch Bros. It originated in Grants Pass ,Oregon! My hometown!
Hey Maria, I advise you to get a fan to the outside before the condensation allows mold to grow inside the truck...
Good luck and happy trails!!! 🤗🤗🤗
little tip. when you open your door, have the fan full blast directly out the door, mosquitoes will be blown out and won’t get in
Please give that thing a good wash and get the salt/sand rinsed off! Will totally create rust faster!
Port Aransas to South Padre Island have the best beaches in Texas. However; Florida beaches are way better if you want to head that way.
Getting stuff done. If that leaks again, wrap a paper towel around it to test, then see where it soaks up the drips. Also, there is such thing as an orange peeler tool.
That flex seal tape job is way overkill 😂
Nevada has lots of Dutch Bros now. My favorite coffee stop! 😋
Another great video thanks
Great orange peeling hack. 😅 My Gimli (dachshund) LOVES oranges, and his favorite food is tomatoes. ❤
You can get a moisturizer collector. Look around the RV section in Walmart. Blue is so sweet. Happy trails from southern Oregon
Fun video!
Good Luck!!
Dutch Broes is, by far, better than Starbucks.
Maria, get a box of dryer sheets to keep in Poe they are a good mosquito repellent. Safe travels.
We have Dutch Bros in Utah now! So good!
Ride safe & Happy travels,Maria...
Another Awesome Video !
Blue is looking extra handsome !
Hope your plumbing job works !
You do know, it could just be condensation forming on the outside of the metal pipe ! Just a thought 🤔
Love and Blessings to You and Yours 🤗🙏🐾
That’s such a good thought I hadn’t thought of that!
@@roamingreckless❤❤
Your smile brightens my day.. Great to see the landy going strong.. Keep up the great adventures
I love your videos!! just moved to Tucson AZ and tried Dutch bros ! Literally THE BEST drinks!!
That's an awesome rig
Wonderful videos. I enjoy them very much thank you
Dutch bros is the best. They started in my state of Oregon. And they do so much for the communities. I will be forever a Dutch girl.
Natural selection is shining!
You might need to install a like Max air fan to suck out the moisture that way you have a constant air flow I was thinking it was a way to keep the condensation down
the background sound on the beach is amazingg
Blue is so beautiful!!!
Avon skin so soft sprayed around your doors and windows repels mosquitoes and it’s great to use on your skin. I believe they even make one with spf in it.
I don’t know about other places but Tulsa Oklahoma has a store front Avon.
Dunno if you have air conditioning in Poe but if you do you can make it really cold and it slows them down to kill them easier lol.
Your journey is so much fun and exciting to watch!
Hugs and prayers ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Skin so soft didn't work at all for me in Florida. Maybe the mosquitoes there have dry skin? 😂
@@serenityjewel 🤣
I’ve used it in AR and down in Panamá
You’re the first I’ve heard of it not working.
Something else that repels flies n mosquitoes from screen doors is dryer sheets😃
@@tammyinman1699 I was in Bay Pines, Florida and none of that worked for me or the guys I was with, not even the dryer sheets. 🤣 I had to hurry up and get some Deep Woods Off. I thought mosquitoes in Mississippi were bad but Florida but me in my place. Never again
@@serenityjewel 😱 where I live we don’t have a lot of mosquitoes but 75 mi south where my kids are they’re horrible!!! All the rice fields make it a terrible problem! And I’ll end up living there when I get older ugh lol 😂
Bless your heart I wish those things worked. Have you tried lemon grass plants by your door and lemon grass essential oils? I just try not to use any poisons but hey I will to keep ticks off me! I already have alpha gal which is allergy to red meat since a lone star tick bite.
❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but, does your sink bowl have a sealant around the top to prevent water from splashing out of the bowl and dripping down under? Is the sink caulked on top to the wood? Because maybe it’s just splashed water dripping down the side of the sink under to your storage? Just a thought.
Blu!!! You look so handsome! ♥️👍
Thanks, Maria!
Great video once again. You are so entertaining and Blue is GORGEOUS 😍
Welcome to Texas! Love your videos and handsome Blue
Yay!!! You're in Texas!! Welcome to Texas!!!
Hey I've been watching your videos a lot and you've inspired me to think this is something I can do. Is there anyway you could update your list of camping gear in the description? Or if you could do an updated video of your essentials for a beginner?
Your video's crack me up, Thank You
Great job on installing the flex tape! 😂 you’re amazing.
Love the Dutch love!! Good to know they’re in TX Have fun and be safe 🐾🐾🐾🐾
Looks like you and Blue are enjoying your travels.
I love your videos Maria, . Take care and God bless you 😊
BLU looks gorgeous 😍! I love your videos. Can't wait for the next one! God bless ❤️
Great video,glad Blue is feeling better.Looks like people think PO is a pretty cool rig.Have fun in Texas.
Welcome to Texas from the DFW !!! Love Bubby 😆
When you picked up Blue at the groomers, I almost thought you grabbed a different dog. 😂
Woke up to new vid from you!!!! Whoohooo Woman I was looking for you😊 it’s going to be a good day!!
i love this video i in joy watching your videos and im from Texas
Great Video! Really enjoy your adventures!
Thank you!
The happiness I felt watching this update is 100%. Keep safe always ❤
Two favorite lines “hear me out” on the orange peeling and “I don’t even want to chew on a pillow “ 🤣🤣🤣
Another awesome episode! Stoked things are going well and you are conquering all challenges. 🙌
I usually peel oranges with a guitar pick making a big plus sign and take the peel off in 4 quadrants. 😜
Love your Defender❤❤
Blue totally was haming it up after the groom. He looks adorable 💙
Great video!
You and Blue looking Fab!
Video to darn short!!!
Hope to see you all soon. Safe, bug free travels.
N.J.
Yay! I hope you come to my city San Antonio! 💖
Arizona has Dutch Bros and great weather right now. Swing on by and check it out.
That’s my good girl, putting the shopping cart back. 👍❤️
Of course momma!
Love the Remove Before Flight on your keys i use them too loving your channel :)
There are a ton of coffee places that are better than Starbucks!!
You're doing everything right because you're doing it with a wonderful attitude. I mean dealing with those mosquitoes in the sand and your doging it it all right very impressed.
That sand is off the wall! Yikes! Good thing you have that vacuum.
Haha blue came out a whole different dog!! I felt what he must’ve felt like! ❤
Take apart the leaking joint and use Teflon around the threads
I think we need an attitude change. Life is so full of wonderful adventures!
Hi Maria and blue be safefrom eastern Pennsylvania, your youtube family wants to make sure you stay safe
Why not buy some citronella candles to light in the truck. Give you some light but also help to keep the mosquitoes away. I hope.
Nice video Maria and Blue..
I love Converse
I love looking at that beautiful smile everyday..be safe and may God watch over you..always
I definitely don't know if you're going to get this but absolutely love your channel one quick thing get rid of the butane and get you a small electric hot plate it works just as good but you don't have the gas or anything going on or a chance of Fire just a small electric hot plate they work fantastic God bless you and your dog
Love the Land Rover - in the late 60s my Dad had one - in West Africa! 👍
Ok, I'm only a couple months behind on catching up. Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying the content, oh can you hear me yelling at you about some of the tasks 😆😆I've got OCD so bad but you're doing such an amazing job. Stay safe.
We had a Dutch Bros right by where I lived. The city asked them to re-locate (I think they received some compensation from the city) because it was at a major intersection, and lines to get in were backing up traffic.
Like the room in your ride.
I'm still in my 2001 subaru car camping
Stay safe !
Blue is the cutest!!
For the humidity get some DampRid and you need to keep a window cracked at all times, so id suggest getting the mesh sleeves that go over you the window so mosquitos don't get in:)
