    In response to popular questions/judgements:
    -Our dog is a (nearly) 6 year old male Shiba Inu.
    -We do not want to go south, we did so 2 winters ago. There are very few young snow birds. We find the winter to be beautiful, enjoyable, serene and silent. Our ideal conditions.
    -The challenges of winter are interesting to us. This is our 4th winter in the Scamp, our third in high elevation. It is evident that hundreds of thousands of others enjoy viewing our winter adventures too.
    -Calling me a millennial does not insult me, it only makes clear to me your age. Calling me a hippie or tree hugger is even further from an insult. I’m proud to be connected to nature and truly happy in my simple lifestyle.

      This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and I can definitely say it's drawn me in and it is beautiful. I've only seen snow like that one time in my 37 years, but you're right, it is very peaceful. Not sure what the comments you were replying to are but continue doing you, and enjoying every second of this short life we are given. Also, your dog is adorable ❤

    The good old times.
    My partner and I were trying to escape Covid while watching your videos in Hawaii. We're trying so hard to get a car and a scamp or mini trailer. Find BML land to feel some sense of freedom. We'll everyone seem to be doing that. It was almost impossible to get a small trailer, and our dream soon became dead. We watched you guys and truly felt the off grid vibe we longed for. We moved into our family's spring cabin, opened it up for the winter, and bunkerd down while covid passed.
    I miss these old videos, Raw simple life. I need to remember, no matter how far you go in life, it's about the steps that got you there.

    In my 20s, I spent a winter in the Jemez mountains in New Mexico, in a travel trailer with a newborn and a 3 yr old. My husband was working on a geothermal well. Our water froze, our sewer froze, but we had propane. I hauled water from a frost free faucet uphill in a bucket. It snowed many times, many days in a row. We made an inner tube run on an abandoned logging road above our campsite. Many challenges, but I count it as one of the best times of my life.

    Dear wonderful adorable couple... how wonderful to find you! I'm a 70 year old lady who was once your age, hitch hiking through Europe on my own, having quit San Francisco College for Women (formerly known as "horny hill." ) My parents were aghast, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was picked up by a trucker in France, & he gave me his studio apt to sleep in while he stayed with a friend. I learned that America was not the center of the universe, but just place on the map of humanity, some of whom would feed you a fabulous seafood lunch and not ask for anything in return. I learned that you should never wear suede boots trying to pee in a hole in the ground at a Youth Hostel. I learned that the world was bigger than I ever imagined, and home-grown tomatoes are the best. I watched the moon landing while the Italian newscaster went nuts. This is THE time in your lives to live free, open to possibilities. My wandering days are mostly over, but in my heart I want to walk down that snowy road with you, not knowing what will happen next. This is exactly what you should be doing now, and someday, when you both are 70, petting the ancestors of your adventuring doggie, you will be so glad you lived adventure and the unknown, and the possible, in your brief, glorious youth! Love and more love, Aurora, Talent Oregon xoxo

    I am 75, live in a cabin in the WV mountains and think and wish positive thoughts for you both. You are having a great adventure! Paraphrasing Robert F. Kennedy, many ask why? And I say why not! My experience is I have a months worth of food, including can goods, dehydrated and frozen. I keep about 32 gallons of fresh water, which I must get from on top of another mountain 20 minutes away by vehicle and still have an iron water well good for washing, toilet and shower plus generators. I still teach school as a Substitute teacher so often am heading out to one of our six schools in our very rural county. Life is to be lived. This is not a rehearsal! You are doing it! Helen Keller said “Life is either a great adventure, or it is nothing!” I might have advice for you but not judgement or negative criticism. You are learning and you have each other and a wonderful dog. Can’t be much better in my view. Warm smiles and soup to you both!!!

    I did this with a large backpack and a good pair of boots for years and I don't regret one minute of it. It's a healthy lifestyle if you're living right. I'm "cultured" now with shelter running water,money in the bank,oh yeah and bills. Don't forget the bills. Very peaceful out there. Great place to listen to God when he tells you things you need to know and remember. He's never led me astray or forsaken me and he's always provided for me. You have a really beautiful and healthy dog. He seems to be enjoying himself. He's on top of the world and loves y'all immensely. Ciao ....

    My husband and I lived off-grid in the mountains of Northeast Washington for six years. It was beautiful but not easy. Brought back memories of getting snuck in the snow, way too much snow at times, and dogs that hopped like bunnies. Beautiful but very hard and ultimately had enough when the bitter cold of winter became too much to bear. Best of luck to you and your family.

    Having lived in Northern Canada for most of my life, here are some winter tips. Keep several bags of cat litter in your truck or rear of car. Provides weight and you can pour it under tires for traction. Always, always, keep candles in your car, and of course a lighter or water proof matches. If you go off road, the heat from one candle will keep you warm enough to survive. Crack a window tho. Keep a spare shovel , blankets or foil space blankets in your glove box. Stuff some granola bars in the side pockets and keep a glass jar for melting snow to drink. Buy a portable battery starter for car as cold kills the battery. Good luck you two!!

      Jennifer Wong Thank you for that advice!! I live in CA near San Francisco, and we haven’t had snow here since 1975. (Seriously) But Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains are only 3 hours from my front door, so getting stuck in snow is a real possibility. Every year, we see on the news that someone got stuck in the snow and died in their car. It’s because they drove from the SF Bay Area to Tahoe during a snowstorm, and wore shorts and a t-shirt because “it’s warm here”, not thinking how cold it will be if you have a breakdown with your car. But your suggestions are common sense, although I never would have thought of any of them. Great stuff here, thank you again!

      The candles lit and placed in an empty coffee can is what provides heat in an emergency when you are stuck in a snow bank in your vehicle. Good gloves and boots can prevent frost bite. A couple of flares to signal for help.

I live on 40 acres myself in California's central coast area, with tons of space between me and my neighbors. BUT I live with a hoarder so my house is choking. Seeing you out in the open with a minimalist lifestyle is like a dream to me. I really hope you travel come this winter. All that said I still enjoy watching all you videos and your change in living won't stop me from enjoying your journey. Thank you for sharing.

    I remember when I lived in Alabama, we got 18 inches of snow. It was the blizzard of March 12, 1993. We lived in a mobile home at the time and not traveling of course, but in the south that kind of snow shuts everything down. It was awesome! No phone or internet and we lost power a couple of days but had a gas stove and kept pretty warm and could cook. My sons were 18 months and 4 and they had a blast. I’m back in WV and no good snow for the last 3 years. I love the snow. Your dog is adorable by the way! Have fun and hunker down!

I cannot imagine living in one especially being in one during a blizzard.

You never know when you might go off the road, and where I live it could be forever until someone else comes along(shoddy cell service up here too).

    When the car got stuck on the way home, the amount of snow under the carriage not only lifts the car reducing tire contact/traction, the snow touching the undercarriage melts and refreezes holding the car stead fast.
