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.
That dog loves you so much. A dog’s love is unmatched.
There's always a third option other than coffee and tea that would be hot chocolate.
Cider :)
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.
lol
Blue’s morning face is too funny. It’s like he needs his dog version of coffee to get functional 😂
I loved when Blue was running around after you put the boots on him...he was so happy to be running around
...awwww
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!!!❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My darling that's a CORNISH pasty. They originate from Cornwall and are still eaten today all throughout the UK!
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
Love Blue’s sleepy face. What an adorable baby 💕💕💕
Blues face while you're putting on those boots is the best!! He is over it.
That’s crazy snow already. Blue is precious safe travels to you both.
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🤠
All Michigan dogs love snow. I do too but not like a pup does!
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!
I really love your dog. You all are so sweet together.❤❤
Blue is like "But Mom there's still SNOW!!" LOL
Hot chocolate with marshmallows!🙏🇺🇸
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…
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!!
😁👍
Where in upstate are you and where are you heading??
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
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.
Main thing is that they don't get snow in between their toes that then freezes.
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.
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.
Your a true warrior, I wouldn’t be able to sleep with that weather. Blue’s snow boots look like boxing gloves. 😂. Awesome video
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
Sending WARM Vibes!!! Stay safe and well you both…
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 TH-cam stardom. Thanks so much & safe travels.
There is nothing better than a furry dog to cuddle in winter nights!
Wow.. winter snow ⛄️ ❄️ and it's 90deg 🥵 here in SoCal. Be safe and stay warm and fuzzy!!
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!!!
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 🤣
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.
Blue is a polar bear in disguise. Blue Love the snow (blue will be Blue).
Maybe fold up thermal longjohns, keep em under your pillow for surprisin' colder weather!
Blue knows snow-fun!
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
But mushers have boots they wear 😭 I just worry about blue that’s all lol
@@roamingreckless better safe then sry lol no wrong in that! 😁😁👍👍
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)
I mean... it makes the $500 tires more worth getting now 🤷🏻♂️
Very true. I'm still mad about them though lol
All cozied up... looks comfy😄
i love when it snows early!
Omg he looks so cute in his winter boots.stay safe and safe travels
Enjoying your vlogs, sense of humor, and most of all Blue.
I remember It snowing in the middle of July While growing up In Idaho
Blue’s face when you first put on his boots was priceless. 😂😂😂
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. ❄️❄️🙋🏻♀️❄️❄️
GREAT UPLOAD. thanks Maria
Be safe! Cute that you have matching color hat and snow boots 🥰
Hi Maria and Blue!!! Safe travels......
Sweet blue thanks much 😀😀😀
How I love that dog.
Stay warm & Stay safe ✌🏻
Love your camp videos ! You have a great sense of humor 😂
Best vlog entry ever. Legend
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.
What is the name/brand of the kettle? Thanks
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😁
Such a awesome pup. He loves to play exactly why I'm a dog person not a xat person dogs give so much love
🦋❣🦋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. 🦋❣🦋
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
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!
Just like Chicago. The weather is so unpredictable!
Gotta love that lake effect snow. My dog loves the snow too! Looks like Blue is trying to hide those boots lol.
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!
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. ⛄ 🎃
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. ❤
Suggest watching Bunny Plays Here, she just posted a vlog of staying warm in a van.
We need a "boot" word counter also ❤ I love watching the shopping for winter gear and food, it's like ASMR for me.
Got to love the Aussie mine sheds like crazy
Cool blue..
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.
7:57 Ya missed one! 😝 OMG, you two are cray cray adorbs. 🥰
Love pasties easy to make too 😊
He is adorable🥰❤️
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
I freaking love your sense of humor and even in the edits. Love it Maria! Keep it up, you are Awesome
It's the little things she does too. Like that Home Alone reference had me cracking up more than I probably should've 😂
Ya, that got me too.I was probably laughing harder than I should have.
I
Jjjuuuiju
Hey 😌
Double r, all that pasties needed is some fire roasted green chili.. lol. also, it would've warmed you up. Stay warm&safe.
Yes delicious - I'll be over in a few!
Maria with another banger.
I don’t know why you say you don’t believe it’s snowing, after all we are in Michigan right.😂😂😂😂
My daughter lives in Michigan
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.
Blue’s boot- a Bloot hahaha 💚💚💚💚💚
Every door you open Blue is poking his nose out….typical Aussie!
stay safe -- stay warm
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
Just found your channel. Love it!
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.
Love Marquette
Pasty with gravy
I liked your video you have a great vibe about you. Be safe
2 weeks ago! Oh my, winter IS going to be bad this year. Bundle up n stay warm
its almost 2am and I am watching old vlogs because I can't sleep...but laughing at Blue so hard that I almost woke my hubby..lmaooooo
Luv Blues little booties...You're a good mom!!
thanks for sharing !
I think you actually said "It's October" 6 times. Lol! Enjoyed the video 👍 Hey Blue!
That's a lucky dog@!
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.
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
Do you ever have to go to the bathroom at night? I could never car camp because I get up a few times at night to go pee! 🤣🤣
I got the heck out of Dodge before the big storm this week end. We made it to Lake Mead NV
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.
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions;
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
Although, I just noticed your TH-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others TH-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their TH-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
Smoke detectors and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
*Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
Exterior vehicle cameras
Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
Keep your vehicle gas filled
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze.
Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc.
Please Be Safe.....
God Be With You...
