As a person who lives in Northern Canada, I've been worried about you Maria. No one should be attempting to live out of their vehicle without being well prepared for the cold. Not a time to be winging it. Glad you are safe and sending love to you and puppers.
amen and amen
Please be careful Maria. We care for you. ❤
I mean as someone who lives in the north it’s not about making heat. It should be shedding heat. She needs a curtain heavy curtain to divide the space and bundle with her dog. With some comforters she should be fine
@@zachmarshall7921she needs to make heat and contain heat. Shouldn’t be popping that upper tent up, and not a time for trying shit out without a solid backup plan.
I 💯 agree!! I live where it gets -40 I am also worried. I wear big Sorel winter pak boots. Helly Hansen underwear with Arctic Cat snowmobile pants and it's warm but still would hate to sleep in a vehicle at that temp. I also live in an RV full time, but not off grid. I run Electric heaters with furnace as a back up.
Maria. If you are reading this, when you come down to the east coast next year we will install a diesel generator free of charge in preparation for next winter. Electric heat and air conditioning on demand.
Northern Lights looked incredible 🤩🤩
That’s so awesome
Bump so I hope she sees this!
Very generous of you! I hope she takes you up on it!
Bump
❤❤❤❤❤
so sweet, lets help bump this up!
Maria, I am originally from southern British Columbia, but I have spent considerable time in northern B.C., and the Yukon. The worst part of winter has yet to hit there. It's going to get unbelievably cold there very soon. Vehicles won't start unless they are plugged into a block heater. I'm starting to get a little concerned for you and Blue. That is not the place you should be, trying to tough it out in a vehicle regardless of a heater. The real winter there is about to arrive. Now is the time to consider heading back down south.....
I totally agree. This one scared me! Its time to leave there and get back to the lower states.
This!!!
That diesel heater should have been installed (professionally) way before she ventured into cold climates. Alaska and Canadian winters are nothing to play with. She should also have kept that buddy heater for backup. She mentioned that her truck was blowing cold air, which shouldn't be happening. Her coolant might be gelling. Does that truck even have a block heater? Obviously a must for cold weather. Grinding that diesel motor starting it in the cold is a guaranteed way to damage something. Does she realize what happens to lead acid batteries if you completely discharge them and they freeze? I also noticed that she seems to be putting additives in the fuel. Do Not do this! The diesel will already be winterized up there. The incompatibilities with multiple types of additives may deteriorate the fluids in the fuel blend and completely reverse any benefits whatsoever. If unsure, ask the station about the diesel before adding additives. From watching her videos she often doesn't seem that well prepared or properly think things through. Her cavalier attitude is going to get her in a jam one day that she may not be able to get out of. I know I sound mean, but she needs to hear it.
Liking this comment to hopefully ensure that Ria sees this! @@robertheintz8017
January February your going to see -40 to -60 c up north nothing to play around with
As soon as you said you were returning the Buddy I was like NOOOOO...back up heaters are your friend!
Plus the fact that Blue said “I’ll give you some of my body heat.” That’s freaking AMAZING!!! Go Ria, Blue, and Poe!!!👏🏽👏🏽
9:27 yeah but then he was like your hands are too cold never mind
I think Blue probably wanted some of the electric blanket heat too!
How is everyone praising this woman? She takes unnecessary risks! She's literally risking her life for views. How is this Brave?!!
I live in Alaska and it is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, it can also be extremely unforgiving. “Roaming Reckless” during winter in Alaska is a recipe for disaster. Things can turn dangerous/deadly very quickly. You HAVE to be well prepared for it. Lots of good advice in the comments for surviving the sub temps. Stay safe!
Second suggestion: get somebody to install the heater inside your truck so it recirculates the inside air. Having fresh (and darn cold) air pulled in is very inefficient, plus you're pressurizing the inside and push the warm air outside the truck. The heaters are 100% safe if properly installed. I can help if you need, I have one installed in a shed and it's been working fine from day 1. I'm an electrical engineer so I think I can help with these things.... last thing I want to see is a RIP post on your channel, Ria... seriously. Recklessness in small amounts is cool, but in large amounts can be deadly... Stay safe, and keep posting the great content you're been posting so far! Oh...and always have a plan B. Go get that Buddy heater back. It's small enough but can save your life if Poe refuses to power up.
Also easy access to a heated building. 24 hrs store for example.
Very good suggestions
Sorry
We all care about you both that's why you are getting the messages.
Please think things over like when you were chopping wood and holding the wood with your hand and you're miles from any help. Maria you could have built the heater before you left civilization then you wouldn't be without a heater in the middle of nowhere. I just want you to be safe. ❤️
No matter how simple equipment may seem, always set it up, test it before you venture, glad you and pup are safe!
As soon as you said you were returning the buddy heater in order to test the diesel heater, I yelled “Oh, noooo!” at my TV.
Glad you and Blue survived! 😅
So did I! Always always have back up!
Miss Reckless Maria....trying to help you understand what is happening. The diesel heater draws up to 12 amps for 3 minutes during start up because of the glow plug. It has to be red hot to ignite the fuel. The fuel will not begin pumping until the glow plug is ready to ignite it. The problem does not seem to be the diesel heater, but rather the Jackery does not put out enough amperage at the 12 volt outlet without overload and shutdown of the Jackery 12 volt outlet. If you were to run a 12 volt supply from the defender batterys the diesel heater would have enough amperage to start correctly. Have it professionally installed to solve your issues and repurchase the buddy heater for back up. Keep in mind once you get this issue solved you can use that diesel heater to blow under your engine to warm it up cold prestart or even blow the warm air at the engine air intake in case of super cold conditions.
Even Blue knew you were cold and used his body heat to warm you up 😍 Glad you guys have each other and Poe made it through. Stay safe out there Ria! ❤️
Considering the temp outside it was really funny to see the lack of space in the ‘fridge’ 😅
Probably to keep things from freezing
Lots of great advice from your loyal viewers here. As a parent, I feel for your mom and dad. I’d be sick with worry. I don’t have to tell you to be cautious…plenty of people here have already done so. Enjoy your time in Alaska! You are doing things I will never get to do! I live vicariously through you! You and Blue be safe! ❤
You really think she stayed in her vehicle.. doubt it 😅
@@PEDALSnPROJECTS You clearly don’t know what I’m thinking. 🤣🤣🤣 She’s traveling in Alaska in winter. If she were my child, I’d worry and I’d tell her to be cautious constantly. Maria is a smart girl. But if she were mine, I’d still tell her to be careful constantly. ❤️
Yeah lots of good comments! and some good advise from those in cold places. I am retired Army with a lot of Alaska experience and your spirit matters. Getting tested emotionally is good, but you may be taking on too much risk in the early Winter. For the risk of annoying-Unsolicited recommendations: First, boots recommend Baffin's arctic (-60 degrees) or polar rated (-120, no kidding these are issued for Antarctica) --ditch the sneakers until Spring. Wet tennies constitute potential frost nip or bite. Cotton kills and that goes for footwear. The Army Alaska minimum insulation rating for boots is 1200 gram thinsulate. This assumes you are hiking. For camping those Baffin pac boots will keep you dry and retain heat in the toe box --toes get cold first. Second, window coverings will retain heat in the cabin. You lose a significant amount of heat via uninuslated windows. When using diesel or portable heaters keep a Carbon Monoxide alarm with you. Third, have a go inside plan. When it gets colder, get Poe in the garage with you in the B&B. You made a wise choice not to tough it out all night. Fourth, talk with the folks at REI on winter survival or take some winter survival courses in the community --even from your fellow content creators. Winter has come and its yet to reach beastly cold. You got this. Stay warm!
Not 100% prepared in these harsh conditions is asking for problems. Please stay safe. We need you longer on this planet because we love your content.
Should always have a backup for everything especially heat..❤️Always live by 2 is 1…. 1 is none.
Ria I’ve been living in Alaska 13 years I’ve made mistakes if you lucky to live through them out here don’t make the same mistakes. I will make sound suggestions rent a place to live through out your stay here in Alaska until Blue and you are ready to leave. Alaska weather is nothing to mess with. Sending hugs.
Prime example why I keep my buns in warm climates 😂. You’re strong as hell and tough as nails for doing this so mad props to you
You actually really scared me in this one. Especially with the no heat part in -15. But I’m glad that Poe said “No worries, just warm me up with a few cranks, than we’ll get going girly”.
It’s extraordinarily irresponsible for everyone in the comments to tell her how great and brave she is. She’s going to end up killing herself which would be a tragedy. A night in 15 degree weather is uncomfortable in your sleeping bag. A night in -15 degrees weather is deadly. She should seek help from an experienced Alaskan before she falls asleep and never wakes up. I’m certain there’s tons of people who would be more than willing to help her. I say this with compassion and as a father of a young lady the same age as her, and 100% out of concern for her well being. It’s not worth her life just for some money from TH-cam and/or the adoration of people who live vicariously through someone they don’t even know.
Gonna get a lot colder than -15. I hope she learned her lesson and we don’t see this or worse in the future. Truck not starting, no backup heat source or plan? Hope they are both safe from now on.
@@Never-mind1919 we all live and learn in different ways. She clearly has from the video, so sit back and give her some slack.
@@Liz_Au-enstar Had the fuel line in her her Rover froze(like many with water do at that temp), she would have been a body recovery by a rescue team. There would have been no "live and learn" for her.
I have watched you since the beginning and have never worried about you on an adventure until the No Heat video came out. You are very resourceful and use your smarts when traveling but girl, the cold is nothing to mess with. So glad you opted for Air B&B. The northern lights were epic. TFS. Hope you get the diesel heater figured out. ❤😊
Why have a comment full of spoilers? Geez
@@squakke why look at comments before watching the video?
Stupid spoilers
The glow plug draws a lot of current in the diesel heater at startup and cool down around 7-10 amps. When the glow plug kicks on, the screen dies, likely because your Jackery has a circuit breaker or something that protects and prohibits that amount of current draw. Hope this helps.
I have the exact one. And you are spot on.
He is 100% right the 12volt plug on these can’t provide enough power to run it when the glow plug needs power to heat up. You need to get small inverter that goes from AC to DC
The odds are that the Jackery 12 volt cig lighter plug in has an amperage max and will auto shut off if amperage is exceeded. The glow plug on the diesel heater is technically a direct short to get it to glow and most likely draws too many amps for the Jackery 12 volt outlet and causes the jackery to shut of power to that plug in.
This is what I've read as well. Except that the pump should be running almost immediately. It's unfortunate that most of these power packs shut down at 10amps
I have a 12v 15 A power supply that I plug into my solar battery. Works for me
Thank God you're alive, Ria! As for the Diesel heater, the power getting cut so abruptly when the glow plug is supposed to turn on makes me think that your Jackery turns its 12V output off when overloaded... some Jackerys do not allow 10+ A that the heater requires for start-up. Solution: connect your Diesel heater directly to one of the 12V batteries in Poe (hopefully you have two... so use the house battery, not the starting battery). You already have 12V supply in the truck, so forget about the Jackery.
It's only gonna get colder. Please be safe 🙏
If it's the pump I think those heaters have a prime feature on them, but if not you may have to prime the pump manually (get air out of the line). As for your vehicle blowing cold air, you may have to put some cardboard across your grill in the front to help hold in the engine heat. Otherwise, it may never warm up to a good temp to blow hot air from the heater.
I felt really sorry for you and Blue stuck in that cold with no heat!
Bless you both hope you got it sorted Maria 👍
Blue has that thick fur seems at ease in that weather.
1:17 Blue approving every purchase going into the fridge. ❤😂😊
Just as I’m yelling “Ria, get an air bnb” you said you were getting one. Yes, please get that diesel heater professionally installed. We love you girl.
WATCHING BLUE WAS MY FAVORITE PART ALSO!!!
Big Blue fan here too! ❤😊🐕
So so glad you are ok , i bet you were worried there , be careful and please please take better care of yourself and Blue .
Personally I would NEVER yell at you for making a mistake. God knows we've all made our share. I'm so sorry you are so cold 🥶. I'm praying you get the heater up and running very soon ❤
Just so you know…unlike diesel heaters that are meant for heating, diesel vehicle engines don’t warm up or stay warm when just idling. I owned a VW Golf TDI (w/ diesel engine) for over 20 years. So, I’ve experienced this firsthand. Also, you may want to get an engine block heater (even if you have glow plugs) if you’re having trouble starting Poe. Also, I’m sure they’re selling winterized diesel fuel in Alaska. Stay safe!
My Hilux has a power heater button that increases the idle speed, so it gets warm when idling.
As a 27y/o guy (33 now), when I saw the northern lights for the first time I quite literally burst into tears. You'll remember it forever. Stay warm! Get a good grill cover (can also just use cardboard) to block some of the air running into your radiator. This will help keep the engine warm when running in cooler weather. Just my two cents 👌
i second the grill cover. if it won't hold temp, thats the only way to get it to do so in those temps. slide a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator and off you go. you can do a portion, i used to cover the entire radiator in the winter with no issues.
That's a great point. I forgot about that. No need to worry about overheating right now.
Omg I cry just watching the lights 😅
Wow Ria, that was an amazing video for,so many reasons! Northern lights…wow!! Blue is amazingly cute!! Love Bubby! That cold was so frightening. I hope you have the diesel heater up and running. I was really scared for you! Don’t fools it’s Mother Nature especially in the winter in Alaska! Once again, Bubby is adorable!! 💙🐕🐾🥶❤️
The northern lights are awesome. The first time i saw them tho i thought we were being bombed. I lived up there on Eielson AFB in the 80’s I was in HS and had no idea what it was while walking home one night. Lol I ran home and yelled for my dad. But now that I’m a grown up, I really miss seeing the lights.
Your diesel heater's fine, you need that adapter to plug into 110 outlet, a 12 V 15 amp works fine, this is an old video so you. I'm sure you have the new diesel heater already installed.
DON'T get frost bite please be careful the cold is no joke.
I'm so happy to see a new video of
my favorite twosome😀❤ WOW,
the Northern Lights, how amazing!
Bubby is looking SO well🙏🐾🐺
Glow-plug POE with the ignition pigtail- wait a minute, than pigtail again, then start. So basically give it 2 doses of heat before you turnover, in arctic temps.
Ahh this one was so intense to watch- wish it was much longer!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Blue is the sweetest dog!❤️He is the best buddy heater. Glad you got the Airbnb. Amazing experience seeing the Northern Lights. They came out just as you were feeling defeated with that diesel heater! Stay safe🙏and try to stay warm. I can’t wait for your next video.😊
Always look for your videos. Glad God took care of you and Blue out in the cold. Blue looks great. Glad you got a B&B and some rest. Seeing the Northern lights was so exciting. That is on my bucket list. Hopefully one day to see.
And absolutely looooove that you caught the northern lights and is able to cross it off your bucket list!!!!🎉
I've literally spent the last week+ binge watching your 100+ videos of your 50 state road trip and girl, you have put me THROUGH THE EMOTIONS. It has been a roller-coaster and I just love your channel so much. Thank you for just being you and sharing that with us
What an extraordinary moment for you.. being under the same sky that the Northern Lights are lit up in. Your on a road trip of a lifetime, enjoy every minute but safely! Excited to see what is to come..best wishes❤
When your diesel is blowing cold air you need to use your throttle adjuster to steady rev your engine until it starts blowing hot air again.
That was TENSE! I really hope you’ve gotten the heater figured out by now. Those lights were AMAZING!!! ❤❤❤
I think the best bet for now is to rent a small air bnb and stay there for as long as it takes for them to install the heater correctly. I know you you wanted to do it yourself but sometimes asking for help is ok the main thing is you and blue staying warm and then while poe is getting his upgrade you can relax reset and just hang out and site see the city you happen to go to to get poe fixed I am worried for you stay safe and ask for help its ok
Hello Maria. My girlfriend and I really enjoy your videos. Please keep em coming!!!!
Great video. You are doing a great adventure by yourself. Showing that you can do anything.
Wow what an adventure. Glad Blue is doing good.
Oh my! That is painful cold! All my good thoughts to you! ❤
Be safe! Glad you and blue are okay. The northern lights were spectacular! You are doing things and seeing things I could only dream about. Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
Good work. Great attitude. Adventure is always that, an adventure. Take it from someone that lives in the mountains, preparation is everything. Back ups for your back ups etc. Great video.
Hi Maria and Blue! Hope you all are doing well. Looks like Blue is doing well. Loved the Blue shirt on Instagram. Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Also, go to a military surplus store and buy a Military Sleeping System. I slept in -15 in one in a snow shelter( think snow cave).
good episode, it was riveting to see you meet the difficulties you had and problem solve them and deal with disappointment. you really powered thru some tough moments .. really good work.
Good day Maria, Blue and Poe......no one should be yelling at you for making a mistake. It's always what choices we make and how to correct them if they are not working. That's the adventure. When you were starting Poe, I actually crossed my fingers! Blue is looking good. When are his treatments completed. All the best always.
No we should just ridicule her for not researching come on did she not know it was cold
@@nicks8869Of course she knew it was cold which is why she tried to set up the diesel heater.
@@mdurham2137 The diesel heater that broke because she keeps trying to duct tape 21st century tech unto something that's 27 years old. Pretty sure now we're just going to see a report of her either being eaten maimed or killed. Blue will probably be the first victim of her ineptitude or in a high pitch white girls voice“ I'm just roaming reckless “
I love watching you & Blue traverse the wilds of our country. Is Blue doing well?
I know people's responses can be overwhelming! Glad you made it through that night/morning. Stay safe and enjoy learning and growing from these experiences. Blue is blessed to have you as a mommy!
Be safe. Take care. So glad you got the air b&b. Northern Lights were awesome. Y’all keep safe and warm.
I truly look forward to your latest videos, and it's a unique experience for me compared to other channels I follow because honestly I don't care much for the other channels I watch, I simply watch them for mild amusement. You've become my favorite TH-camr in a very short time! Your personality, lifestyle, and dedication to said lifestyle get me excited to see new videos every single time. Stay safe, stay cozy, stay warm and give Blue a big hug from all of us.
Who could ever get mad at you???? Some of the biggest lessons I've learned in life were through a very difficult trial. -15 degrees is super cold and you survived it and with lessons learned. I say that you are the big winner here!!
LOL.... -15 is very WARM compared to what is coming soon. She can expect -60
@@canadianwarrior2108 really?! thats insane!
It's coming , already had -25 in willow, webasto heater cab heat and recirculation heat for diesel engine only way when remote plus bunny boots mittens and mummy bag rated -40..been here 40 years now lots of tundra winter time all over state , your right about -15 warm LOL canadianwarrior..
Never a told ya so! Just hope the best for you, glad you made it through this. Keep being great!
Glad to see that you are ok
You tried and figured out a safe plan that worked. We all learned a lesson along with you. Those Northern Lights were AMAZING girl! Blue looked confident you would find a way out. He really trusts you!
yeah who would ever thought Alaska in Dec would be a bad idea with no heat
Thank you for taking us along on the adventure! The coldest hasnt hit yet, its just begun being a life long Alaskan. Get your diesel heater and be safe out there. Rooting for you chica!
I think it's cool you are doing this.I've lived in Montana all my life and never have seen the northern lights.Great video.
-4 in the afternoon... probably don't need to refrigerate most things. 🤗
You need to plug the heater into a AC to DC converter, and put the AC plug in the battery station.
The 12V plug can't handle the starting load.
Maria, so glad that you and blue are ok after that. As a father, a former Marien, and a country boy, I amazed at your resilience and problem solving skills. Absolutely amazing. What an adventurous young lady. I love watching your videos. The way you think about things and problem solve is amazing. Keep doing what you are doing. Stay safe you two. Bob here from Chillicothe Ohio.
She needs to develop the skills that will help her avoid problems. She doesn't seem well prepared for traveling to Alaska this time of year. She's putting herself and her dog at risk, and potentially others if she needs rescuing at any point.
Back-ups for everything!!!! Be safe, if not for you, do it for Blue.
You're not stupid, just inexperienced. You took a chance and it backfired. Learning experience. At least you have the guts and character to try!!!! The AluCab will bleed out your heat unless you make some insulation. Same goes for anything metal, and the glass.
You can make insulating panels for the AluCab and your windows:
~Make patterns for the sections you need to insulate, allowing about 3" extra for attaching later, as well as allowing better coverage.
You can use butcher paper or newspapaer and a sharpie; whatever works.
~Get blankets at a thrift store, surplus wool/wool mix blankets at an Army-Navy, or some old/inexpensive sleeping bags.
~Smartfoil (bubblewrap sandwiched between aluminum foil).
Have a sailmaker or someone who can sew heavy fabrics sew you the panels (after measuring and triple checking the dimensions). Smartfoil sandwiched between the blanket material.
I would probably do it by having the wool against the AluCab sides/windows/panels, the Smartfoil in the middle (doubled up), and the sleeping bag or thick blanket on the inside.
You can attach them to the inside using velcro strips, magnets, whatever. This will make a HUGE difference.
Also, should have some redundancy. Maybe a little mini wood stove as well. Or a Dickinson P9000 (this is propane but designed so you get no condensation).
You need a way to keep that engine running or to heat up your fuel so it doesn't gel up.
PS
I realize finding a sailmaker or someone who has the equipment to do the above may take time-and you need it now. You can basically do it on your own using good thread and a large needle, or spray glue/Barge cement (but you need somewhere to do it at). You may even be able to do it with hot glue and some Gorilla Tape.
You can basically get the panels ready enough to use and then, when you find the person to sew it, just ask that person to finish the job.
Oh goodness can’t say I’d do any better. Sending love and I know you have it all figured out now. I hope. ❤
Maria this was seriously the most stressful video. And now we have to wait a week to make sure your ok. 😢😢 Be safe this cold is no freaking joke.
Well she edited the video and posted so I’m sure she is ok, lol. If it were live then that would be different
@@Nallisn I'm not talking about in the video I meant in general. She obviously doesn't have the heater working and why do you need to comment something snotty? The comment was meant for Ria and it was written out of concern.
@@enns5366 wasn’t trying to be. Just stating the obvious. It looks like, from the video, she would stay in an air bnb until she could get her heater to work or buy a new heater
@@Nallisn ok Sorry it's always just so gnarly online people are so quick to be mean and judgey. Sorry for assuming and Thank you for clarifying 😜
When you’re going to be in harsh conditions you make sure your equipment is properly working.
I'm praying your next video has you safe and warm back home for the winter! Mission accomplished after seeing the Northern Lights and getting a photo at the Arctic Circle!
YOU ARE ONE STRONG WOMAN!! Always impressed by your composure, over here in tears because I’m a worry wart but reading all these comments just make me sob! We all are thinking of your safety while you live out the raddest of dreams, you go dude! If you’re ever in trouble you have friends from everywhere willing to help, don’t you fret! Seeing Blue get to travel makes my heart warm, I do the same for my pups in our Tacoma! Happy Holidays Ria and Blue🤘
Im so happy you got to see the Northern Lights. Im happy you found a bnb I was getting worried because Blue didnt have a sweater or coat on and I worry his paws will get frost bite as well as you. Praying you find someone to install your heater so you and Blue can get back to enjoying your trip.
Can you get poe into the garage.
Your propane cook stove could serve as a heat backup. I've seen Bob Wells on TH-cam have this as his only heat. You put a metal circle tube like thing over burner to direct heat up. Works just like a buddy heater. Stay safe 😚❤️
Glad you are safe. Time to upgrade for winter!
I get so excited when u post!!!!
I'm glad you and Blue survived this adventure and learned a valuable lesson! 💕
As someone who just witnessed the northern lights a few weeks ago in Iceland, I can verify it wasn’t just your night! They totally just looked like illuminated clouds but are very visible through camera lenses when I witnessed them. Had I not mentioned it like you did I wouldn’t have heard from other people that it was definitely the case! Hope you’re keeping warm 🙏🏼🔥
This is good to know! I want to take a trip to Iceland next year to see the lights, so now I know what to look for.
Go for it!!! You only live once. Great video and thanks for sharing, Stay warm.
The stars and the lights are amazing... stay warm.
Why in the hell would you get rid of the buddy heater??? Its like hey im gonna get rid of a guaranteed heat source for an experimental one that I have no idea how to use or setup, oh and by the way its subzero temps at night. Have you never heard of a plan B or a backup???? You know just incase you didn't know how to use the new heater?? Never mind I already know the answer....lol
Since it so cold outside, would it be an option to store some of you’re fridge stuff outside Poe? Love watching your exploration!
As a car lifer it's such a win
In winter u get free fridge but it's way harder to cook (takes 2x longer to get hot)
In the summer it's easy to cook but you can't store anything
pls take care!!!! ily both 🥺
Well you tried..now its time to go somewhere that you and blue can get warm. God Bless.
You really need to better prepare. Not a time to wing it.... THINK
The heater can draw 10-12amps of power on start up, which drops to less than 2amps ( 0.4 to 2 amps ) when running .. I think the cable from the Jackery isnt allowing the current to flow so the Diesel heater shuts down.. direct power source from a battery is much better imo ...... And the Landy. .if sluggish to start then turn key until heater plug light goes off..do it 3 times and that heats the injector plugs when experiencing super cold weather... Best of luck to ya..
I was thinking the same. The screen shutting off just before it tries to go through start up makes me think it tries to draw the power but trips because of the power source.
RIA! This is the first video that had me genuinely worried about y'all. I'm happy you and Blue are safe and that you got to see the Northern Lights
Your ❤’d Maria your attitude makes us follow you so be safe and keep thinking ahead. Now get warm ❤️🖐🏽🎄🎄🎄
Didn't know Alaskan men were such puxxies.... oh no we can't change your oil, thats a foregin truck! Glad you found at least one man over there that has some balls and willing to help out a woman traveling solo!
Time to put a bit less reckless into the roaming I think - this is the first time I've seen you really out of your depth, and it's genuinely concerning. Going out in subzero temperatures with not only no backup heater, but your only heater *untested* is putting yourself in genuine danger. Be safe out there please.
As a Minnesota gal all my life, I guess I take for granted when I see the northern lights quite a bit! So glad you got to see them.
Two is one and one is none. Always have a backup when in dangerous conditions. Stay safe!
I live in the upper part of the lower peninsula and last year I witnesses the northern lights with the naked eye from the back porch. Green rays, dancing and waving over head. It was pure magic and I'm so blessed to have seen them on a -10 degree night @1 in the morning.😅
I love traveling !! Im really glad i found your channel, your videos are amazing, love from Canada 🇨🇦🍁🥰
