    Can you tell us more about the hot water thermos in the kitchen. Right now we are using a 6 x 12 tramper as you saw on my channel. I am thinking ours has more room than you do and just trying to pick one. We had a van b4 and loved it but like your lifestyle. My tramper is very comfortable and just trying to figure pros and cons. Thought any more on a vid of how to use the Delorme Gazeteer for finding camping spots.

    Beautiful.! Did u enjoy shooting the wedding? I use to do that, hated it. It was before digital. People walking in front of your shot, flash bulbs, demanding relatives. Yuk. The last one lasted 12 hours all went well at the wedding. Came home dumped everything in a chair. Woke up a couple hours later and everything was gone. Cameras, strobes, and FILM. All the film. Called the cop, thinking maybe I didn't bring it home. But 2 days later discovered my toddler hid all of it under his toys in his toy box. The responsibility was too much. Crazy

      Hi Kathy! As long as you keep your propane bottle in a sealed box with a vent that goes down through the floor it is safe. We made a box in the home depot parking lot 😂(we have a video on it somewhere) So far our propane system has worked well and we wish we would have started our build with it. 😀

    What is the difference between Boondocking and camping and where did that word come from?

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tom C
      This should clear it up😂
      The definition of boondocking is camping, in an RV, for free, outside of an established campground, without hookups or access to other amenities.
      Dry Camping is camping, in an RV, without any hookups.
      Dispersed Camping is camping in an RV, a tent, or without any form of shelter, for free, outside of an established campground, on public land (owned by some level of government), without hookups, or access to other amenities.

    Hey guys heads up some guy was traveling from usa to alaska he had to cross through canada to get to alaska and on the way thier he stopped in canada to sight see and got arrested and fined over a half million dollars for doing that because of coronavirus law so beware

    • @LoveLivingLoveNow
      @LoveLivingLoveNow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not sure about the high fine, but people must drive directly to Alaska within the time allotted from the entry point. No travelling, just straight driving. People given a special permit and are expected to check in upon arrival in Alaska. Canada does NOT want a coronavirus spike.

    Are you prepared for an encounter with a threatening wild animal such as a bear or mountain lion? If yes, what do you carry for defense? Have you ever encountered a threatening wild animal?

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have not had any threatening encounters with wildlife. We are aware of our settings and are mindful of the areas that we are staying in. We do carry bear spray and a knife. I do encourage others to research this topic and know how to protect themselves. We just encountered a moose with 2 babies on our recent backpacking trip....we let her know we were there and gave her the space she needed. She took her time and eventually moved along with her babies. Meanwhile we had an escape plan and a plan of action if she suddenly felt threatened. Thankfully we have not had any encounters!

    • @oneadVANtureatatime
      @oneadVANtureatatime  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Christina Williams yes usually! But you need to check burn bans or campfire restrictions in the area you plan to be in. And be very careful with BBQ’s .... I only say this because we have seen many fires started this way. We lived in A VERY high fire area in California before we began traveling full time.
