Super cool! I'm rolling with a 12v this season myself. So far I love it. I have the little 290 Jackery power station and a 100 watt briefcase solar panel (Harbor Freight) it does the job but I definitely need a bigger power station so I am not chasing the sun and can relax a little more. Enjoy your summer and thanks for your time sharing your adventures and delicious food! 😀💚
Thanks so much! I’ve been really happy with the EcoFlow. If I start doing multiple nights, or run anything that heats ~ like my kettle or electric blanket ~ a solar panel will be next.
I love that it has integrated wheels! I have a 55L Dometic and I can handle it when it’s empty and manage when a little is in there but when it’s full, it’s a monstrous beast. It’s a 2 person coordinated haul and we have a platform fold flat magnacart to scoot it around but the wheels on that are small so it’s pavement or bust. I just discovered your channel last weekend and enjoy your videos
Welcome! I do love the beefy wheels on this thing. It was easy to move it from the house to the truck and back. My only wish is that they were inset. That would reduce the footprint by a few inches.
Ha! I eated it all, a while back. 😂 This year's crop is just now sprouting, so it'll be a while until the next batch. In the meantime, I have homemade mulberry jam. 😋
With all that extra space you'll either have to go out for longer, eat alot more, or cook for more than one! It will be great to use on a several day trip. I'm curious which Ecoflow you have? I need to power my CPAP along with a small fridge and the other stuff. It's one brand I'm considering.
I am thinking about multi-days -- and if that's the case, the next investment will be solar, to recharge the EcoFlow. I have the River Pro -- snapped it up during one of Costco's specials. They seem to run a deal on them about twice a year.
@@ShoestringMartha check out the xtar sp100 panel. It is a 100w panel and folks are regularly reporting that it gets OVER 100w which is insane because most, if not all panels, usually don’t get up to the “published” watts. (75% is considered decent). There are a few TH-camrs who have discount codes for $30 off+
Suggestion…..load empty cooler in vehicle first, fill the inserts with desired food stuffs, than load those in last. Won’t be so heavy to lift and save your back. Although you may already known this. I really want one! On another note, I have been offered a house in Prescott for the month of May and I will be traveling around checking out the areas you highlight in your videos. Do you have any suggestions within an hour or two from Prescott?
That would certainly be the *smart* way to go about it! 😂 Prescott itself is pretty cool, with a fun and historic downtown area, and the lakes! Watson Lake is really gorgeous and great lovely for kayaking. I went to Willow Lake in the Camping Korean Style video. In May, it will already be pretty warm, so I'd head north, whenever you can. Sedona is a little over an hour away, and certainly worth a visit. The funky former mining town of Jerome is on the way, as well as Clarkdale / Cornville, which is wine country. Flagstaff is a couple hours away and also a really cool area. Lots to see around there!
Christine, what did you think of Prescott? I'm thinking about doing a car camping trip in the near future there. Did you go to any of the places that Martha recommended?
@@vlynn8816 I have only been to Prescott once and stayed at the house I am visiting, no camping yet. But I can say Prescott is charming western feel town with a few quirky people. I like it there and the surrounding areas. I have not seen the lakes yet, but I’m looking forward to it. As far as camping, that is still in the works…..
😆 I cut the strings off this, and applied it with Gorilla double-stick tape. It held 20oz of wine OK, for one trip. For a sturdier, more permanent solution, I’ll probably use self-tapping screws, with little rubber gaskets. I’m just reluctant to puncture my new cooler. 😬 www.amazon.com/dp/B09DZSDNYW/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_RXHZ920EE8K3ZGVG5CFV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ml2&tag=shoestring07b-20
Short answer: maybe! Long answer, depends on the tea. Is the tea made of ONLY hibiscus calyxes, whole and/or in large pieces? Or is there tea and or other plants in it too? If it's only hibiscus, you might be able tor rehydrate it, and then make jam. If it's ground up or has other plants mixed it, probably not.
It’s meant to be strung between the front seats, but I cut the strings off and stuck it on with double stick Gorilla tape. Worked OK for 1 trip, but not a good long-term solution for box wine storage 😄
Always look forward to your videos. Love seeing Gunther and your cooking.

I know that’s right Sis. I know you will be making alot more amazing meals. Don’t forget the Hibiscus jam you made 🤩

@@ShoestringMartha now the mulberry jam sounds great 😊
Well shut da front door and let the deliciousness begin!!!🥳 Nice real Nice 😊 🤙🏿
Great information, thank you so much ❤️

@outtofofficebrb - thanks for the heads-up -- I'll check it out!
When plugged in at home I would take it off eco mode so it would chill down faster
I plugged it in the night before, so I had plenty of time. 😂 But if it was morning of departure - totally max mode!
..cool video keep up the great content... Thank you…
I'm waiting for you to go camping in Baja .Have you already made the trip before . Thanks for the videos
I have never been - only to Puerto Peñasco several times - but never camped there. I’ll need to renew my passport if I want to come home 😅

I think I know the answer but I'll ask to be sure. Does it have Bluetooth and an app?
It does not 🙂
Is this cooler still working for you?
Still truckin'!
Sweet. Was that FR300?
Just off of it - FR 9350
@@ShoestringMartha look that area!
Inquiring minds want to know...tell us the logistics behind the net bag that holds the wine bag?

Oh quick question can I make the hibiscus jam from the hibiscus tea that I have?

If it's only hibiscus, you might be able tor rehydrate it, and then make jam. If it's ground up or has other plants mixed it, probably not.
@@ShoestringMartha Thanks 😊 it’s just the buds. I’m going to try to make the jam and keep you posted. Y’all enjoy your 4th. July 🎆
What is that net bag ?
