Frank's overpowering sacrifice was designed for your safety in mind. That poop was fresh, ergo the bear is near, and his new smell would fend him off, or at least not attract him. Brave Frank (who, admittedly, seems to love poop in all forms) was protecting you. Love your life, mice and all.
@@TomLloyd-18 I actually was curious enough to look it up. Animals (dogs specifically) will roll in the feces of other animals to disguise their scent. They made the point that it's instinctive, and not just to hunting dogs. Now, the eating of poop is a whole other deal. According to one theory, the pet is so well trained not to leave his droppings, when he sees another animal's poo, it eats it so that the owner won't punish their pet thinking it's theirs. I don't know about all that, but I do believe the theory for why they roll in it.
@@AndrosIslandZ Dogs eat poo from an animal that has just eaten a lot of protein...thus their love of cat feces, cats being obligatory carnivores, their poo has a lot of protein in it. Dogs don't think about punishment until they see their owner looking displeased. Thus the TH-cam videos of the guilty-looking dog with a torn-up couch pillow or an overturned kitchen trash bin.
"Who'd have known that my own state was just as cool as the places that we drove thousands of miles to get to?" Isn't that the truth for all of us. We sometimes look else where and it's right in front of us. Beautiful.
One comment about the frisbee .. had a catahoula herding dog who would chase/catch a frisbee like Frank. Had to change to soft toys after she lost one tooth and chipped another catching that hard plastic. Something you might want to consider.
And he says, "cause my Mom's here", can this guy get any closer to my heart. Allie you and you're kiddies to come, are blessed beyond the sun, the moon and the stars. Trent is cosmic.
A small thing you can do to help the contractor out. Every time you go up to check things out. Bring a case of water. Buy a cooler, ice the water down for the guys. " you will get those little extras with out a cost plus slip. Put up a tarp shaded area where they can get out of the heat on breaks. I've been in the trades for 45 years, those little things mean alot.
Hey you two, the golf game and fishing was funny to watch. But a heads up on the house your going to build. Not time to be playing. You know snow is coming. You know you will have LUMBER building supplies. You may want to build a strong , car port like shelter. 4×4 ? 7 feet out of the ground and a basic, 2x6 roof framing. It's only temporary, to rain and snow off you building stuff. Also you'll want a area for a fire pit, to warm up. When the temp drops you want dry wood to work with. It not it will be 3 times as heavy. And hard to cut. And nail.have fun later.
The grey and black hose can be stored in the trailer bumper. Pop the rubber cap off, slide hose inside, put rubber cap back. Don't store it under your bed!
YAY !! That's great the 2nd Maiden Voyage w/Terry was a success . So happy you spend time with your Mom Trent . My mom died in June 2003 from lung cancer . Dad died November 2010 . My brother July 6 , 2019 Brain & Lung Cancer . Since July 31st I'm being treated for Hodgkin Lymphoma .
I hope you know that putting the oyster shells into the feeder unmixed with the feed means the chickens are just going to get oyster shells til the feed comes down. The feeder doesn't do the mixing. You're supposed to do it before hand.
Don't need oyster shell, the chickens will find what they need in the dirt but a really good tip is to mix the crushed egg shells in with any scraps of greens or corn you feed them.
Put diatomaceous earth around the wheels and jacks when you go somewhere new, and spray with peppermint under the rig. Keeps our critters, including earwigs!
I tried peppermint tea bags to keep mice away. Sadly, they chewed up the tea bags, and left a terrible mess. Also, there's a machine that makes a high pitched noise that's said to work, but it will harm a dog's hearing.
In my camping gear, we have a plastic shoebox container with various games. Farkle, yahtzee, a deco of cards, word problems, word searches, kanoodle, uno, phase 10, Dos, and more. With creative packing it holds 15 various games (more when you consider the deco of cards), but it’s nice for evenings, or rainy days when we are stuck inside, and takes up very little room.
There's nothing better than taking a couple of days to disconnect from everything around you and just take a deep breath in and then out and just relax your mind and body before having to get back on your grind!! I love watching your videos. Much ❤ to you both. ❤
You might want to consider a carport/“garage” tent for Terry for the winter. The winter winds will turn Terry into a icebox/freezer that your heater can’t heat up. You could also consider skirting/foamboard for Terry as well to keep the wind/cold from underneath.
They have solar on the roof so need roof exposed to the sun, bit I agree about the being an icebox. I spent a winter in my son's camper I'm wyoming. Even though it was skirted it froze. Tub froze, sink froze, toilet froze, I froze, Minus 27 for a week straight, yep, that will do it!
There was a good article in outsideonline.com "How to Survive the Arctic Winter in a Broken Down Camper Van. He "built a "shed/cave" out of 117 bales of hey. Something to consider and modify.
Trent I don’t think you could have found another woman that would do everything Allie does with such a joyful spirit. You too have what it’s going to take to get things done. You make a lovely spirited team. Love that about watching your videos. Go get those darn mice. Nasty.
Yeah. Most women weren't brought up in the spirit of teamwork and division of labor in the context of family first. It's kinda slim pickings out there these days with so many lacking a grateful spirit. We see the causes but are violently opposed. At least we can still raise our own kids and help form our grandkids.
@Jim Beam I'm right there with you! She reminds me a lot of my wife of 40 years. May God be with them and teach them to always be appreciative and grateful. The real adventure awaits them when they become parents. If they continue chronicling their shenanigans then, that too will be awesome to watch.
Suggestion..Allie is you pickup a canning funnel it will help with putting your feed in the feed tubes. A canning funnel has a wide lip with a large hole on the bottom, which will help with putting feed down the feed tube. Speeding up the process of filling.
When it comes time to set Terry up for winter (hopefully you'll be plugged into electrical power by then), but hay bales will be your best friend, use full bales all the way around the bottom of Terry, DON'T forget to put waterline heaters on all your waterlines, it's called heat tape, just incase you're unfamiliar with it. Back to hay bales, you can use them to block wind and even on your roof if you have alot of heat loss, Also pick up an oil filled radiator for extra heat inside, they're absolutely awesome and hold heat long after they shut off. So unlike an electric heater they don't have to run constantly, plus imo they are safer and give off better heat.
Awesome! Note-Wintering in an RV is a whole different can of worms and cold! You can burn through a whole world of lp in a heartbeat. Look at alternatives to your little furnace. Look at ways to put a skirt around Terry - she is a girl after all and cold wind under her isn't fun. You need to keep your water from freezing! Look at blue flame heaters - 99.9% efficient and a dehumidifier because lp produces water, whether it's your furnace or an alternative and you'll need one regardless of your heat source. Cooking will produce a lot of moisture too. Moisture is an RV's worst enemy. Been there and done this for three years. Also snow in the mountains and a heated trailer is going to create ice on the top of Terry. She isn't designed for the load. She needs a roof/carport to keep you all safe and her roof/solar panels secure from load damage. Do your homework now before winter sets in because learning these things and having to fix them when there's 6 foot of snow coming down is going to be horrible. That all being said, it's so relaxing and fun to watch your videos. Thanks!
Funny stuff now let's get serious. So when you're set up on your property you'll want to skirt that trailer and come winter you'll be glad you did. Allowing wind/cold under that trailer would be a mistake so do it before winter snow sets in.
I was just thinking the same thing! Also, I would definitely get electric/power on the property ASAP so that they have access to shore power when needed.
Watching your videos is like, i am physically with you. You are both so engaging. Thank you for your companionship. I am under house arrest due to covid. Our country is so strict on lockdowns. Your video is a breather. Thank you for taking pains in sharing your life with us. Stay safe!!❣️❣️
My recent discovery about mice is they are lazy and don't leave their nest every day. Set traps again. They maybe now stuck inside Terry trying to get out. Took me 2 weeks to trap out mice after I plugged access. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.💟🍀
@@CARSON441 ....also don't touch the traps with bare hands. According to varmit expert, put gloves on when handling traps so no human scent gets left behind. The human scent "warns them away". Also place traps next to outer edge of room... they're mostly blind & use whiskers (against walls/room edges) to direct them.
Don’t ever change. You two are a breath of fresh air. I know it must be a lot of work making these videos, but your videos are the best! You provide good, clean entertainment, and God knows we need that! Thank you!
Get a feather bed for the top of your mattress and a heavy duvet and you will be toasty warm even when it is cold out! We do a lot of cold weather camping and we are always warm!
I'm so glad Terry's second voyage was a success. What a beautiful spot you guys camped at. Baby goat names...Deaken, Trellie (Trent and Allie combined). Sophia, Rose, and Jenny.
Haha my Sweet Beloved Daughter named her Fire Belly Newts when she was 6 Fig New Ton & Cookie. 🤣 Cookie lived for 21 years (probably due to the powers within from eating Fig, New & Ton) 🤔 Great video you guys!!! ♥️
My friends have had good luck with Irish Spring soap place around their camper when it comes to closing it up for the season. Also, you mentioned the black /gray water hoses under your bed. Check to see if that rear black square bumper have caps that pop off.... they store their black hose in it. Also I heard someone who's new camper has the colorful track/rope lighting around their rig. They leave the blue under carriage on at night to reduce critters.
When you use your chicken eggs, save the shells, let them dry, and if you want to use for yourself and your pup bake at 300F for 5-7 min (before they turn brown) you can use a morse or coffee grinder and use the powder for the chickens, 1/4th tsp. your dog, and for you 1/2 teaspoon in your smoothies.
Jerr Nelson Thanks! I’ll have to check. It’s really crazy the things people in this area are buying up, like antibiotic ointment! Luckily I’m a prepper but those wipes aren’t something I have extra of. Have a great night and stay safe!
I don't know why, & I'm trying not to overtink it, but I'm enjoying these videos much more than your abroad videos. Anyhoo, I had a great time just hanging out with both! Thanks so much!1
I have spent two winters in my rv in Utah now. I block my bedroom windows with pillows. I also keep my water tanks empty and use bottled water and shower at the gym. You have got to get some heaters for your pipes and tanks. On top of that you have to insulate the heck out of them. You don't want to be doing that after the snow is flying and pipes have broken. "Winter is coming!"
From experience, we lived in a Terry while building a house.There is not enough insulation in Terry or is the water system designed for winter it will freeze, that's likely how your outdoor shower broke. Single pain windows will sweat and water damage will occur on the walls. Your own seat and moisture from breathing will freeze on walls. An insulation box over the A/C will help a fraction.
Actually, RJ is Way Right here. If not wanting to keep on upkeeping Terry, now's the time to do it. Not when mountain cold 🏔 and really high & impassible snowdrifts sets in. (That's assuming if you all are still living in Terry when winter mountain deep freeze sets in) ...🌬❄🏔 Again, very best to all.
R J we built a garage first with a temporary electrical construction pole placed. That way we had electricity fast and much cheaper and the garage had spray foam insulation with a furnace so we could use both that and the RV furnace. It worked great.
@@livinglife8333what a great idea! I was just reading through this thread hoping people are starting the conversation about how cold it is going to be and how they need to figure out their insulation NOW before it gets too cold!
Our goat had a "kid" which is a baby goat. We named him Jasper " the friendly goat" he is so cute. His mom was called Elisabeth I did not like that name at all so I call her Momma EL lol naming them are fun, and when they realize that is their names and when you call them by their name they run and kick and buck all the way to you... They are my blessing and they calm me down. I promise they are the most relaxing animals I have ever had. Oh and when their about to give birth the Utter sack will turn really shiny. When they are in labor their tail stands straight up. My momma EL stood facing the wall as this happened. and she was extra lovable during that time. It brought us closer together when I helped her give birth. So get extra towels to wipe the Kids down and the back of the momma.. I am so happy for you guys.
Goat Names: Ethel, Gertrude, Floyd, Elmer, Stella, Edith. The great lesson of travel: "Who would have known that my own home state was just as cool as the places we drove thousands of miles to get to"
So true. I've lived in Florida 16 years, only have been to Key West as part of a cruise, haven't done the gulf coast from Homosassa up, and I've only hit the highlights from Sarasota down, but my husband and I are about to spend a few nights at one of the beaches, since a friend pointed us to a resort she's been going to for years that is sparsely booked lately, and their beach is private. A couple of books, lots of sunscreen and it's be a nice break from everything.
I wish we could attach a photo, but we keep our water jugs on a cinderblock laid horizontal not vertical. So it’s high enough to keep out the dirt but low enough for them to reach. Some of our younger ones stretch their neck to reach but they’re birds and can do it. Plus they will grow and fully reach the water. Consider a cinder or cement block laid horizontal. We are going to look into your feeder pipes! Great idea!
From one ex-city girl to another, when you clean up mice 🐭 🐁 poop 💩, wear gloves 🧤. You can get a whole box of latex or nitrite gloves at Harbor Freight for about $5! Plus you can use the gloves for many other jobs when you live in the country and they are disposable! Health first!
Heard from Creativity RV that skirting around your camper really makes a difference when camping in the winter. Reflectix also CB helps keep warm in and cold out on the windows.
That was a beautiful boon-docking spot. We’re flying up to the mountains in a couple of days and your video this morning is the reason I’m wanting to get out of the heat of Texas.
By far one of my favorite vlogs! I think the best was the chicken you were holding & squeezing her chest - she loved it so much she spread her wing like “ohhhhh yeah, more please”. ❤️ you all.
Imagine my surprise when I woke up to find this. I started the day with a headache, and with the aid of my protein drink and a few minutes with Trent and Allie, the headache is gone. Thanks, y'all. Hopefully you didn't pick up any furry hitchhikers! 😉💖
My daughter lives in Oregon and they have a blue heeler like Frank as well. They got Jax his own dog sleeping bag for when they go backpacking. Works great. Plus more compact than a dog bed.
You guys should insulate your windows for the deep deep cold. Plus, you need to insulate your pipes and tanks for the cold. If you reduce the area to keep your bodies warm, you will stay warm easier. I would hang a heavy blanket to seal off the bedroom at night.
Allie, you never have to "earn" Trents love. Have you seen the love in his eyes when he sees you. If Trent ever lost his mind and stopped loving you there would be millions of men in line. But I dont ever see that hapoening
When Trent was speaking on what made him enjoy fishing I was reminded of my late brother. He loved to fish and didn't care if he caught anything. He said just being alone with his thoughts and in the fresh air was what it was all about. Kind of like a form of therapy for him. I sure miss him!
W wonderful memory of your dear brother and I am honoured that you shared it with us. When I was younger my Grandfather use to call me the Patient Fishergirl because I sat there peacefully and let the fish nibble on my bait. It was such a wonderful time and so peaceful that I really didn't care if I got anything either. My Grandfather has passed away also 4 weeks before my Mom did so I understand your pain. It's been 2 years and it seems like it just happened. Miss you Mom and Pops, take care of each other up there. Anyhow, God bless your journey and take care of yourself. Sending love and light from Canada.😀💜💛🧡
Love watching your videos. We used to have a toy box we took with the kids to the wilderness often. Be sure you pack extra 9v batteries for the carbon monoxide detector, and not just one you need 3 in case the back up doesn’t work. Keep enjoying & living.
We fulltime in our 5th wheel year round with very cold winters. What works for us to keep warm, water flowing and pipes thawed....skirting, heated hoses, heat tape, multiple digital thermometers, and a small heavy duty electric heater for under the rv. We skirt with high density foam board. You can buy snap on skirting. Just steer clear of straw or hay bales as they attract rodents and are highly flammable. We heat tape and utilize heated hoses. We place a digital thermometer under the rv to monitor that temp...we learned at what temp we began to have problems and began propping open cupboards where plumbing exists. This also allowed us to turn on a very small, stable heavy duty heater underneath, plugged into a heavy duty all weather cord if things dropped too low. Be sure to have good smoke/fire, carbon monoxide and propane detectors. The other thermometers helped track internal and external temps. You can also have a larger propane tank delivered to the property if they offer that in your area. If you buy bulk before temps drop it will be less expensive and they will just deliver to you without further charge until your account reaches zero...then you will pay as you go. Reflectex or bubble wrap on your windows is a great insulator. Make sure you crack vents and use moisture barrier under mattress to avoid mold from moisture in the closed in space over winter. We also keep a few different heat sources around to be safe. A little buddy heater and an electric portable heater (as high efficiency as you can find).
When referring to the mammary glands of goats, cows etc... One goat has one udder which has two teats, one cow has one udder which has four teats..... The word udder is singular unless referring to multiple udders on multiple animals. Hope that helps with your dairy husbandry education 😁. Hope Eleanor's kidding goes well🐐!!
Heat tape your trailer water pipes and insulate! Winter is going to be interesting. Look into a mini wood burning stove for your trailer. They make them. My uncle had one.
Girl’s names: Missy, Matilda, Yvette, Beatrice. Boy’s names: Waldo, Emit, Ralph, Wally, and of course..... Billy Le Kid. ( a Francophile match for Yvette)
Trent, someone suggested skirts for Terry & insulation for heating hoses. Consider the potential for your water, fresh & waste, during cold winter freezing temperatures if you haven't yet.
That's cool. My friends goats all have cool names, in my opinion. Goatle is my favorite name, though most of them have music names (we're all musicians). I love how the goats want to stick together and how they do bond with their humans.
I think baby goats are called "Kids" so there has to be a Billy the kid or kid Wichita. Any gunslinger name sounds good with kid in front or behind it. You may also have a Calamity Jane or Molly Brown in there to!
Females: Tillie, Sally, Millie, Cora- just to remind you of this time of Corona Male: Sammy, Jack, Ivan, Billy The hens are laying? That’s great! How many are they producing? Fabric sheets will help with mice. Also, using solar lights placed aiming at four corners and the middle, works amazingly well.
The female goat is called a “doe” or a “nanny.” The male goat is called a “buck” or a “billy.” A baby goat is called a “kid.” The act of giving birth for a goat is called “kidding.” The doe can have 1 to 6 goats per litter. YOU WERE RIGHT!!
Hey guys love the show but Trent all you need to do is put a bypass on your line feed and you can type it in because you’re going to have a pressurized well pump getting you water so you don’t need that other pump or you might want to do is put some thing on there that you can regulate the pressure
Please look into some greater insulation for that trailer before you freeze this winter. I mentioned in a comment back during the remodel that it wasn't insulated enough for the hills. And a new head for the Frank shower!!
Cotton balls of peppermint oil .. other oils might be good like: cedar, eucalyptus, lemongrass, or cinnamon.. remember to set on something so it doesn't stain .. it also is a great reminder if you can't smell it .. replace it! Natural oils first!
@@rubywannabe8600 Yes. When we close up our travel trailer for the winter (we're in Ontario, Canada) we have been putting dryer sheets in every nook and cranny we can think of - probably 40 or 50 of them and haven't had a mouse in years. The trailer always smells really nice in the spring when we open it up as well. I then use the sheets as fire starters stuffed into empty tp rolls with dryer lint.
Don't worry. When they get parked for the winter and get snowed in, and all the Nutella and Danish cookies are done, both Allie and Trent will spend their time making the lesser of the two evils, homemade shortbread with REAL butter, as a pair. So it becomes shared moments with" Melting Moments" which is the name of the recipe for the shortbread. And "Bread" is just a euphemism. Then Trent will know what it is really like to "En-joy" and Allie can happily forsake her nutty 'vice'. Get some good quality cocoa and make chocolate shortbread. - Keep the tins from the Danish to store the next six months' supply.
Hey guys we’re needing to replace our water pump. The link doesn’t appear to be working on you list. Would you mind passing on the brand and model number? We enjoy the shows! Thanks
I’m concerned about your trailer being winterized for the winter in those mountains there. Trailers were never built for those kinds of conditions. You’ve had a few suggestions on this post that might do the trick. The cover for a terry and the tiny wood burning stove sounds like good choices and of coarse the “skirt” around the bottom of the trailer, Good luck with that. It’s close too moving on the mountain. I’m excited for you guys.
Digital school started where I live: server crashed for the entire county. My new house build; I looked at it and the painters treated my house awful.

And last but not least toilets . After all that you got to know it best be my Happy butt on that throne the first time . that would just be a right of passage in my new home world .

@@yourLittleSinner 🤔 They're for the owners and those they allow to use them. If the workers weren't given permission then they should've only used the porta-potty!!! 😬
yourLittleSinner there is a porta- potty outside for the sub contractors to use. This is a brand new home being built. One sub contractor went no 2 wiped it on the seat and floor no toilet paper. Another damaged my new tub. In new construction workers are not supposed to use toilets/tubs when there is a porta-potty outside with toilet paper and soap new construction has no soap or toilet paper. In houses.

I hope you know that putting the oyster shells into the feeder unmixed with the feed means the chickens are just going to get oyster shells til the feed comes down. The feeder doesn't do the mixing. You're supposed to do it before hand.
A separate container for the grit. Chickens take when they want.
The clips of the deer were great, but to see Frank catch the Frisbee was awesome.❤️💯
We grandfolks enjoy those things Trent does, he is definitely an old soul. That's a good thing! Most of the adventure ends up being the journey.
Steel wool in holes, dryer sheets, cedar, Irish spring soap for mice.
I fly fish. Matching what fly to use is the key. I have no luck, but it's fun!
Don't need oyster shell, the chickens will find what they need in the dirt but a really good tip is to mix the crushed egg shells in with any scraps of greens or corn you feed them.
"Paragliding mice" was so funny I had to mute my zoom meeting so they wouldn't hear me dying laughing!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Cathy Gunther how very true they are both such a great match. Not often you see this.x

I'm right there with you! She reminds me a lot of my wife of 40 years. May God be with them and teach them to always be appreciative and grateful. The real adventure awaits them when they become parents. If they continue chronicling their shenanigans then, that too will be awesome to watch.
Suggestion..Allie is you pickup a canning funnel it will help with putting your feed in the feed tubes. A canning funnel has a wide lip with a large hole on the bottom, which will help with putting feed down the feed tube. Speeding up the process of filling.
The video captured your experience very well. Example. A hand slow motioning over the pine boughs expressed the day amazingly well!
When it comes time to set Terry up for winter (hopefully you'll be plugged into electrical power by then), but hay bales will be your best friend, use full bales all the way around the bottom of Terry, DON'T forget to put waterline heaters on all your waterlines, it's called heat tape, just incase you're unfamiliar with it. Back to hay bales, you can use them to block wind and even on your roof if you have alot of heat loss, Also pick up an oil filled radiator for extra heat inside, they're absolutely awesome and hold heat long after they shut off. So unlike an electric heater they don't have to run constantly, plus imo they are safer and give off better heat.
Awesome! Note-Wintering in an RV is a whole different can of worms and cold! You can burn through a whole world of lp in a heartbeat. Look at alternatives to your little furnace. Look at ways to put a skirt around Terry - she is a girl after all and cold wind under her isn't fun. You need to keep your water from freezing! Look at blue flame heaters - 99.9% efficient and a dehumidifier because lp produces water, whether it's your furnace or an alternative and you'll need one regardless of your heat source. Cooking will produce a lot of moisture too. Moisture is an RV's worst enemy. Been there and done this for three years. Also snow in the mountains and a heated trailer is going to create ice on the top of Terry. She isn't designed for the load. She needs a roof/carport to keep you all safe and her roof/solar panels secure from load damage. Do your homework now before winter sets in because learning these things and having to fix them when there's 6 foot of snow coming down is going to be horrible. That all being said, it's so relaxing and fun to watch your videos. Thanks!
Funny stuff now let's get serious. So when you're set up on your property you'll want to skirt that trailer and come winter you'll be glad you did. Allowing wind/cold under that trailer would be a mistake so do it before winter snow sets in.
I was just thinking the same thing! Also, I would definitely get electric/power on the property ASAP so that they have access to shore power when needed.
Great idea
Frank is such a good boy. What a gift he is.... 💗🐾
Watching your videos is like, i am physically with you. You are both so engaging. Thank you for your companionship. I am under house arrest due to covid. Our country is so strict on lockdowns. Your video is a breather. Thank you for taking pains in sharing your life with us. Stay safe!!❣️❣️
My recent discovery about mice is they are lazy and don't leave their nest every day. Set traps again. They maybe now stuck inside Terry trying to get out. Took me 2 weeks to trap out mice after I plugged access. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.💟🍀
best bait=bacon&peanut butter tied on with string. The better mousetrap is the wooden base ones that have been around forever. Happy hunting!
Clara, that's exactly what I was going to say
Me thinks it is large cockroaches. :)
@@CARSON441 Exactly! My 'secret' weapon. Bacon / p.b.
@@CARSON441 ....also don't touch the traps with bare hands. According to varmit expert, put gloves on when handling traps so no human scent gets left behind. The human scent "warns them away". Also place traps next to outer edge of room... they're mostly blind & use whiskers (against walls/room edges) to direct them.
You can install a battery isolator so the truck battery doesn’t drain the camper batteries. Really nice video.
Kid names : From the movie “Little Women” : Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy
Mollie.
Don’t ever change. You two are a breath of fresh air. I know it must be a lot of work making these videos, but your videos are the best! You provide good, clean entertainment, and God knows we need that! Thank you!
Get a feather bed for the top of your mattress and a heavy duvet and you will be toasty warm even when it is cold out! We do a lot of cold weather camping and we are always warm!
Hey Trent, the proper way to eat nutella IS with a spoon right from the jar. Everyone knows it!
I bet a spoonful of nutella on top of butter cookies must be heaven!
In the future, dish detergent is great to wash a dog when they're poopy dirty. It also deters fleas etc.
You guys are having so much fun!!
Lottsa goat names in here....some really clever. My choice? Easy. Nutella and/or Cookie. One for each of you. Done!
I'm so glad Terry's second voyage was a success. What a beautiful spot you guys camped at. Baby goat names...Deaken, Trellie (Trent and Allie combined). Sophia, Rose, and Jenny.
Allie, your editing it’s so pleasant! Feels like we are there with you guys! ❤️
You should be scooping the Nutella on Sugar cookies. 😉
Goat names: Nut and Tella. Other ideas: Female: Nora, Lily, Emmie, Molly. Male: Dean, Billy, Moses, Bach.
Can't forget Trent's supply of sweets... A couple more names Butter and Cookie :)
Terri B A goat named Butter? Seriously? Wow! lol!
I agree Lily and Molly my favorite.
Another one Gertie
Haha my Sweet Beloved Daughter named her Fire Belly Newts when she was 6 Fig New Ton & Cookie. 🤣
Cookie lived for 21 years (probably due to the powers within from eating Fig, New & Ton) 🤔
Great video you guys!!! ♥️
Mice can enter a 1/4 inch hole. Basically a pencil size hole. Tough to find every little hole. Good luck.
My friends have had good luck with Irish Spring soap place around their camper when it comes to closing it up for the season. Also, you mentioned the black /gray water hoses under your bed. Check to see if that rear black square bumper have caps that pop off.... they store their black hose in it. Also I heard someone who's new camper has the colorful track/rope lighting around their rig. They leave the blue under carriage on at night to reduce critters.
When you use your chicken eggs, save the shells, let them dry, and if you want to use for yourself and your pup bake at 300F for 5-7 min (before they turn brown) you can use a morse or coffee grinder and use the powder for the chickens, 1/4th tsp. your dog, and for you 1/2 teaspoon in your smoothies.
Hopefully Frank doesn’t let any dog food drop down the floor vent for his friends 🐭 🐁 😳
I had that same thought.
Yup, right at the beginning... I facepalmed MYSELF!
Haha, the way he is scarfing up his breakfast, I am sure there is not a single kibble that is left.
Dog drool on the floor? EEEWWWW!
@@sharoncochran8508 It mops right up. Any paper towel or kitchen rag will do it. Easy-peasy!
What are you doing?
Allie with her mouth and spoon full of nutella
"Nothing"
"Nutting"
Wow, you have Clorox wipes?! We haven’t been able to find any to buy in months! We’ve resorted to making our own.
I have found them at Costco
Jerr Nelson Thanks! I’ll have to check. It’s really crazy the things people in this area are buying up, like antibiotic ointment! Luckily I’m a prepper but those wipes aren’t something I have extra of. Have a great night and stay safe!
I don't know why, & I'm trying not to overtink it, but I'm enjoying these videos much more than your abroad videos. Anyhoo, I had a great time just hanging out with both! Thanks so much!1
I have spent two winters in my rv in Utah now. I block my bedroom windows with pillows. I also keep my water tanks empty and use bottled water and shower at the gym. You have got to get some heaters for your pipes and tanks. On top of that you have to insulate the heck out of them. You don't want to be doing that after the snow is flying and pipes have broken. "Winter is coming!"
From experience, we lived in a Terry while building a house.There is not enough insulation in Terry or is the water system designed for winter it will freeze, that's likely how your outdoor shower broke. Single pain windows will sweat and water damage will occur on the walls. Your own seat and moisture from breathing will freeze on walls. An insulation box over the A/C will help a fraction.
Actually, RJ is Way Right here. If not wanting to keep on upkeeping Terry, now's the time to do it. Not when mountain cold 🏔 and really high & impassible snowdrifts sets in. (That's assuming if you all are still living in Terry when winter mountain deep freeze sets in) ...🌬❄🏔 Again, very best to all.
Look into a dehumidifier for the condensation. Also great for humidity.
R J we built a garage first with a temporary electrical construction pole placed. That way we had electricity fast and much cheaper and the garage had spray foam insulation with a furnace so we could use both that and the RV furnace. It worked great.
@@livinglife8333what a great idea! I was just reading through this thread hoping people are starting the conversation about how cold it is going to be and how they need to figure out their insulation NOW before it gets too cold!
@@Tesabr1 A tiny wood burning stove helps with humidity.
Our goat had a "kid" which is a baby goat. We named him Jasper " the friendly goat" he is so cute. His mom was called Elisabeth I did not like that name at all so I call her Momma EL lol naming them are fun, and when they realize that is their names and when you call them by their name they run and kick and buck all the way to you... They are my blessing and they calm me down. I promise they are the most relaxing animals I have ever had. Oh and when their about to give birth the Utter sack will turn really shiny. When they are in labor their tail stands straight up. My momma EL stood facing the wall as this happened. and she was extra lovable during that time. It brought us closer together when I helped her give birth. So get extra towels to wipe the Kids down and the back of the momma.. I am so happy for you guys.
Goat Names: Ethel, Gertrude, Floyd, Elmer, Stella, Edith. The great lesson of travel: "Who would have known that my own home state was just as cool as the places we drove thousands of miles to get to"
I've observed almost everything I've seen in other countries can be found in the States - sometimes on a smaller scale. Explore our country!
So true. I've lived in Florida 16 years, only have been to Key West as part of a cruise, haven't done the gulf coast from Homosassa up, and I've only hit the highlights from Sarasota down, but my husband and I are about to spend a few nights at one of the beaches, since a friend pointed us to a resort she's been going to for years that is sparsely booked lately, and their beach is private. A couple of books, lots of sunscreen and it's be a nice break from everything.
Edith is cute. But a E name would be great!!
I wish we could attach a photo, but we keep our water jugs on a cinderblock laid horizontal not vertical. So it’s high enough to keep out the dirt but low enough for them to reach.
Some of our younger ones stretch their neck to reach but they’re birds and can do it. Plus they will grow and fully reach the water.
Consider a cinder or cement block laid horizontal. We are going to look into your feeder pipes! Great idea!
Allie has a great smile and seems to smile all the time.
From one ex-city girl to another, when you clean up mice 🐭 🐁 poop 💩, wear gloves 🧤. You can get a whole box of latex or nitrite gloves at Harbor Freight for about $5! Plus you can use the gloves for many other jobs when you live in the country and they are disposable! Health first!
Yes yes yes gloves for many things ...
Heard from Creativity RV that skirting around your camper really makes a difference when camping in the winter. Reflectix also CB helps keep warm in and cold out on the windows.
That was a beautiful boon-docking spot. We’re flying up to the mountains in a couple of days and your video this morning is the reason I’m wanting to get out of the heat of Texas.
By far one of my favorite vlogs! I think the best was the chicken you were holding & squeezing her chest - she loved it so much she spread her wing like “ohhhhh yeah, more please”. ❤️ you all.
Trent you are the man and Allie you're such a sweet wife and have a adorable laugh. Love you as a couple. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Got my coffee, iam ready.
Allie saying "What, are you serious" set off my Siri and I was so confused!!!!
Imagine my surprise when I woke up to find this. I started the day with a headache, and with the aid of my protein drink and a few minutes with Trent and Allie, the headache is gone. Thanks, y'all. Hopefully you didn't pick up any furry hitchhikers! 😉💖
My daughter lives in Oregon and they have a blue heeler like Frank as well. They got Jax his own dog sleeping bag for when they go backpacking. Works great. Plus more compact than a dog bed.
You guys should insulate your windows for the deep deep cold. Plus, you need to insulate your pipes and tanks for the cold. If you reduce the area to keep your bodies warm, you will stay warm easier. I would hang a heavy blanket to seal off the bedroom at night.
Allie, you never have to "earn" Trents love. Have you seen the love in his eyes when he sees you.
If Trent ever lost his mind and stopped loving you there would be millions of men in line.
But I dont ever see that hapoening
When Trent was speaking on what made him enjoy fishing I was reminded of my late brother. He loved to fish and didn't care if he caught anything. He said just being alone with his thoughts and in the fresh air was what it was all about. Kind of like a form of therapy for him. I sure miss him!
What a wonderful memory, so sorry for your loss.
I like that idea, "being alone with your thoughts and in the fresh air."
My late Uncle Chuck fished with no bait on the hook. He just wanted some quiet time alone as well.
W wonderful memory of your dear brother and I am honoured that you shared it with us. When I was younger my Grandfather use to call me the Patient Fishergirl because I sat there peacefully and let the fish nibble on my bait. It was such a wonderful time and so peaceful that I really didn't care if I got anything either. My Grandfather has passed away also 4 weeks before my Mom did so I understand your pain. It's been 2 years and it seems like it just happened. Miss you Mom and Pops, take care of each other up there. Anyhow, God bless your journey and take care of yourself. Sending love and light from Canada.😀💜💛🧡
Names= Surely, Goodness, & Mercy. Shall follow you al the days of your life!
Love watching your videos. We used to have a toy box we took with the kids to the wilderness often. Be sure you pack extra 9v batteries for the carbon monoxide detector, and not just one you need 3 in case the back up doesn’t work. Keep enjoying & living.
We fulltime in our 5th wheel year round with very cold winters. What works for us to keep warm, water flowing and pipes thawed....skirting, heated hoses, heat tape, multiple digital thermometers, and a small heavy duty electric heater for under the rv. We skirt with high density foam board. You can buy snap on skirting. Just steer clear of straw or hay bales as they attract rodents and are highly flammable. We heat tape and utilize heated hoses. We place a digital thermometer under the rv to monitor that temp...we learned at what temp we began to have problems and began propping open cupboards where plumbing exists. This also allowed us to turn on a very small, stable heavy duty heater underneath, plugged into a heavy duty all weather cord if things dropped too low. Be sure to have good smoke/fire, carbon monoxide and propane detectors. The other thermometers helped track internal and external temps. You can also have a larger propane tank delivered to the property if they offer that in your area. If you buy bulk before temps drop it will be less expensive and they will just deliver to you without further charge until your account reaches zero...then you will pay as you go. Reflectex or bubble wrap on your windows is a great insulator. Make sure you crack vents and use moisture barrier under mattress to avoid mold from moisture in the closed in space over winter. We also keep a few different heat sources around to be safe. A little buddy heater and an electric portable heater (as high efficiency as you can find).
When referring to the mammary glands of goats, cows etc... One goat has one udder which has two teats, one cow has one udder which has four teats..... The word udder is singular unless referring to multiple udders on multiple animals. Hope that helps with your dairy husbandry education 😁. Hope Eleanor's kidding goes well🐐!!
u are udderly rediculus.
The best name for a goat is "Scape" That way he gets out of his pin, you can call him a scapegoat!!
I like the name. My daughter's dog is named escape, but we can him scape. When her was a puppy he could escape out of anything.
Made me think of Dori from finding Nemo where she says "es-cop-eh"... hilarious
You've got to name a goat "PataGOATia" after your trip 😂
Heat tape your trailer water pipes and insulate! Winter is going to be interesting. Look into a mini wood burning stove for your trailer. They make them. My uncle had one.
Goat names, sage, rosemary, thyme. Terry is looking good glad all the problems are fixed.
The Environmental Water Resource Engineer saves the day again. If it’s terribly cold this winter, some van/trailer people install wood stoves.
Girl’s names: Missy, Matilda, Yvette, Beatrice. Boy’s names: Waldo, Emit, Ralph, Wally, and of course..... Billy Le Kid. ( a Francophile match for Yvette)
One of the goats should definitely be named "Butter" in honour of the cookies.
Nick Borsman and one “cookie” 😁😁
And one named Cookie!
Billy
Excellent name!
he should REALLY try cardamom. a wonderful sweet spice from iran. makes incredible deserts!
Trent, someone suggested skirts for Terry & insulation for heating hoses. Consider the potential for your water, fresh & waste, during cold winter freezing temperatures if you haven't yet.
That was different... In a nice way. Enjoyed it.
Now back to work! Each day is shorter than the last, and soon the snow will fly.
My sister raised goats. They were all named after “perfumes” ... such as “Cinnabar” (by Este Lauder).
Oh, I like that!
Cute
Maybe Old Spice for a male goat.
That's cool. My friends goats all have cool names, in my opinion. Goatle is my favorite name, though most of them have music names (we're all musicians). I love how the goats want to stick together and how they do bond with their humans.
Coco (Chanel)
I think baby goats are called "Kids" so there has to be a Billy the kid or kid Wichita. Any gunslinger name sounds good with kid in front or behind it. You may also have a Calamity Jane or Molly Brown in there to!
Females: Tillie, Sally, Millie, Cora- just to remind you of this time of Corona
Male: Sammy, Jack, Ivan, Billy
The hens are laying? That’s great! How many are they producing?
Fabric sheets will help with mice. Also, using solar lights placed aiming at four corners and the middle, works amazingly well.
Awesome! Congrats on Terry’s 2nd voyage! WooHooo👏😃
Music is wonderful. I live vicariously through you.
Just put out oyster shells in a separate feeder. The hens will eat what they need.
The female goat is called a “doe” or a “nanny.” The male goat is called a “buck” or a “billy.” A baby goat is called a “kid.” The act of giving birth for a goat is called “kidding.” The doe can have 1 to 6 goats per litter. YOU WERE RIGHT!!
The most common kidding number is 2 though. First time mothers often have just 1. Triplets are not uncommon. We only had quads once.
I believe that 7 is the world record.
Well said Michelle!
Michelle Spettel are you kidding? 😂sorry I couldn’t resist! Great info!
So when someone says “just kidding”, it now takes on a whole new connotation....lol
Bad water pump could have been draining batteries, even in standby.
Exactly.
Hey guys love the show but Trent all you need to do is put a bypass on your line feed and you can type it in because you’re going to have a pressurized well pump getting you water so you don’t need that other pump or you might want to do is put some thing on there that you can regulate the pressure
Please look into some greater insulation for that trailer before you freeze this winter. I mentioned in a comment back during the remodel that it wasn't insulated enough for the hills. And a new head for the Frank shower!!
Bounce dryer sheets!! I'm telling you - try them!! If nothing else, the trailer will smell nice.....
Be careful with dryer sheets. They can be toxic to your lungs.
Dryer sheets for what? Mice?
Cotton balls of peppermint oil .. other oils might be good like: cedar, eucalyptus, lemongrass, or cinnamon.. remember to set on something so it doesn't stain .. it also is a great reminder if you can't smell it .. replace it! Natural oils first!
@@rubywannabe8600 Yes. When we close up our travel trailer for the winter (we're in Ontario, Canada) we have been putting dryer sheets in every nook and cranny we can think of - probably 40 or 50 of them and haven't had a mouse in years. The trailer always smells really nice in the spring when we open it up as well. I then use the sheets as fire starters stuffed into empty tp rolls with dryer lint.
Don't give her crap about the Nutella when there are at least 4 tins of cookies behind her for you! hahahaha!
Don't worry. When they get parked for the winter and get snowed in, and all the Nutella and Danish cookies are done, both Allie and Trent will spend their time making the lesser of the two evils, homemade shortbread with REAL butter, as a pair. So it becomes shared moments with" Melting Moments" which is the name of the recipe for the shortbread. And "Bread" is just a euphemism. Then Trent will know what it is really like to "En-joy" and Allie can happily forsake her nutty 'vice'. Get some good quality cocoa and make chocolate shortbread. - Keep the tins from the Danish to store the next six months' supply.
Hey you got Nutella on my cookie, but you got your cookie in my Nutella
Hey guys we’re needing to replace our water pump. The link doesn’t appear to be working on you list. Would you mind passing on the brand and model number? We enjoy the shows! Thanks
I cannot tell you how great it is to see you camping again. If I said I didn’t cry, I’d be a liar. YOU’RE REALLY BACK -BACK.
allie is so much a mum lets face it trent she has been mothering you for so long good luck the three of you for now , one word . perfect GOOD LUCK
I’m concerned about your trailer being winterized for the winter in those mountains there. Trailers were never built for those kinds of conditions. You’ve had a few suggestions on this post that might do the trick. The cover for a terry and the tiny wood burning stove sounds like good choices and of coarse the “skirt” around the bottom of the trailer, Good luck with that. It’s close too moving on the mountain. I’m excited for you guys.
How about 'TALLIE" for one of the baby goats? Can't wait to see the wee ones.
Digital school started where I live: server crashed for the entire county. My new house build; I looked at it and the painters treated my house awful. Paint on my granite countertops... used my toilets- brand new when there is a porta potty outside . I am glad your video is up always puts a smile on my face :)
Sorry to the workers violated your home. Guess no one likes porta potties. Except maybe Frank.
The paint on the countertops is a huge problem! But genuine question, what is wrong with using the toilets? Isn't that what toilets are for?

I get it when you spend on the level of a new home .

@@yourLittleSinner 🤔 They're for the owners and those they allow to use them. If the workers weren't given permission then they should've only used the porta-potty!!! 😬
yourLittleSinner there is a porta- potty outside for the sub contractors to use. This is a brand new home being built. One sub contractor went no 2 wiped it on the seat and floor no toilet paper.
