Please don't put your headphones in when you are alone in isolated areas. Not trying to scare you... I just want you and Ruby to be safe. Always be aware of everything and everyone around you. Praying for cooler temps for you both. Loved the sound of that rushing water from that little stream. Hugs to you both and God Bless!!!
Agree Remember the hiker Rachel Morin who was alone on the trail & got brutally murdered. The Cartels are grabbing people also. One hand should carry pepper spray cuz won't do any good if it's down in a backpack. Horrible things jumped out in seconds.
I see a lot of people here in the comments telling you what NOT to do (even thought it's probably coming from a place of love / concern), so I won't do that. What I will say, is thank you for all the wonderful, joyful moments you've shared and please KEEP ON BEING YOU!!! The world needs more like ya💞.
Right? So many "aunties" with well-intended but unsolicited advice. And Rowan is so gracious about it! I guess that's typical nowadays. When I was a new mom, complete strangers, mostly older women, did not hesitate to correct me about anything and everything from the baby blankets, my stroller, how I held my son, how much he weighed...it was endless!
Yeah, it's getting a bit ridiculous how many comments lately everyone telling you what to.. and not to do! She has raised her own child I think she is capable and aware! Given her a break everyone!! Please! 🍓
@daniellerancy6515 les personnes qui lui disent de ne pas mettre la musique dans les oreilles lorsqu'elle se promène isolée dans la forêt ont tout à fait raison 🙂
You never complain about anything. Instead, you adapt well to your environment, you look for the blessings, and frankly, I think you have a beautiful life~ 🎉💙🎉
I like your lunch rolls. Smoked salmon, avocado, and carrots are a staple for me. Never thought about rolling in sushi nori. Thanks! You and Ruby stay cool and stay safe❤
You should really think about writing a van cook book you are really talented seriously every meal you make look so delicious even things I would normally not eat good job
The comments I have read offer very good advice, coming from a place of concern for you. Yes, I agree with all the comments I scrolled through. Your viewers are thoughtful people, wanting the best for you both. Be careful on your travels, especially in the heat. ❤❤❤
I love that you are NOT living in fear. Bad things can happen to anyone…anywhere… It seems, as women we’ve been brought up to believe as soon as we relax and appreciate life it equates to being snatched up or murdered. You listen to your gut. You have an adorable pup who’s always listening and aware of your surrounds. You are inspiring! We, as women CAN and should feel comfortable in nature. Love your videos. And thanks for sharing!❤
I hear what you are saying. Unfortunately, women are still the most vulnerable, having mace or equivalent is a start. Learning a martial defence art and escape techniques if tied up, etc, would also be valuable knowledge to have. Just my thoughts.
thank you for saying this! After 4 years of solo traveling I realized that being ready for someone to try to kill me every minute I'm outside isn't actually living!! You can only keep an eye out so much before it becomes too much. At this point if I die I die, I'm tired
Ruby is fine . She’s not on asphalt , she’s on dirt and plants . My dogs life outdoors they don’t wear shoes . My family herded sheep for generations , and their dogs didn’t wear shoes either . Ruby is enjoying being a dog .
Basmati is a long grained more flavorful and healthier rice option. Please show us when u make a spicy, tangy and delish lentil stew/curry served over fluffy steamed basmati rice... maybe when the temperatures cool down a bit. ❤
Be careful hun, don't underestimate the heat and what it can do to your body, and Ruby's. All it takes is a wrong turn. Take plenty of water and supplies next time. In Australia there are regular cases of people getting lost - please take care xx
You are very knowledgeable about plants. Where did you learn? Would you ever do a segment about your visible tattoos- what they are/meaning/significance? Stay cool & stay safe!
Nettle tea is lovely and is extremely detoxifying especially for the blood. Great antioxidant too. Just snip at the tops of the plants where the goodness is 💚
@justrowan a life straw even better it can filter out all the bad stuff.😘keep it with you at all times! I experienced my dog Birdie tripping me with her leash on a run spraining a ankle scraping both knees & elbows bloody.My philosophy is if your prepared nothing bad will happen😘🌞 and yep I wasn't prepared. no bear spray ,outta water ,no snackies😭my mind kept hearing imaginary bears coming for me🤣 in my imagination had me thinking rabid squirrels and skunks to were after me and because I had no snackies Birdie ran off not to find help but to find a free dinner from a sympathetic stranger 😂
Thanks for sharing..I think you are doing a wonderful job of keeping yourself safe..you don’t say where you are at the present time. Keep doing you and Ruby!
Just between you and me, I always carry a hefty boxcutter in my pants pocket; 2 reasons I might need it to cut the twine on my horse hay bales, open packages, cut weeds, and I always have it on me for security; 24 hrs a day(yes I sleep with it in my pocket). In this day and age you just never know...just sayin'
It's so good to see you traveling and exploring again. Ruby is really growing up fast. Be careful when letting Ruby in water that has algae , it can be very dangerous for Ruby . I seen where this couple took a swim in this place that had Algae in , and their dog became sick and ended up dying from the Algae it had ingested in its system . Blessings to you and Ruby
Thank you for the head’s up! I’ve heard about this happening. So far Ruby is very cautious of water and hasn’t wanted to get in but hopefully one day she’ll go swimming with me and this is good information to be aware of. Blessings to you as well!
Yes... I saw that also about that poor dog and will also kill humans if ingested. Algae blamed in many waters due to the climate change from the awful heat we're getting.
Awesome video, Rowan! Next time you make sushi rice consider adding a splash of rice vinegar to the water (or Any vinegar for that matter). We add diced onion to ours as well. It gives the rice a tiny pop of flavor and an additional creamy texture. Thanks for taking us on your exploration! -V
Without fail, seeing your face and hearing your voice and laugh lift my spirit. You are such good medicine for what ails, you little strawberry elf earth angel mama. Lovely walk, delish food. I wish I didn’t have to recommend you never wearing earbuds in public because they wipeout situational awareness, but…you do you. I have to trust your trust to not worry. Much love to you and the Rubes. ❤🍓🍓🍓🍓
Beautiful place! Thanks for the great recipe. That TJ salmon is the best. You're the only person I've ever watched who makes seaweed rolls "real quick" for a picnic lol!
I meant to comment on the previous video, but you might look into getting extension cables for your solar panels so that you can park in the shade, while putting your panels in the sun. I think you might lose a little efficiency, but not living in an oven would be a good trade-off. Love watching you and Ruby, and the joy you both have for life!
I’m worried for all in this heatwave 🔥 please don’t run out of water on your walks 🙏🏻 i can’t stand the heat, so when its hot here , I carry a little spray with water to spray in my face , and a vet cloth around my neck , it helps a lot 💦💧 I agree as some mentioned, a damp towel and a cooling mat for Ruby would be so good for her ❤ be carefull and stay safe out there 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing your lovely walk in the woods, dear Rowan. I especially enjoy your interactions with Ruby :) Precious! I hope you remain comfortable in this hot weather. Sending much ❤️ from Ontario.
A bamboo sushi roller works very well. Super cheap to buy. Tightens the roll. I learned on TH-cam how to roll the sushi nori using the bamboo roller. Easy and makes a nice tight roll. I put one roll in the fridge wrapped in cellophane for later to slice up. Cleanup: I tap excess food off bamboo roller. Allow excess rice stuck on roller to dry and it comes off easy. Then rinse off well and allow to air dry. Awesome exercising. Good for you. Proud of you.👏👏💃
Running is no better for us than proper walking so in the hot weather it might be healthier for both of you to just brisk walk, but please stay safe by not using head phones. What a beautiful walk you showed us. Love from Australia. Xx🦋🐨
Hey Rowan and Ruby what an awesome vlog love it 💞.Im not a fan of seafood as I am allergic to most but watching you make you lunch made my mouth water what a great combo 👏Ruby is such a gem can we please see more wake ups the snuggle pot Ruby so darn cute 🤗.I also love it when you are out and about with Ruby ,can I suggest next time wear a Wet Hat I found that works a treat and ice blocks in your water just a suggestion ,I like to read other comments Bc you do get good tips which I myself would appreciate ,the beauty of it you can pick n choose the advice .Your Community loves you and are just trying to keep you both safe ,so Kudos to them lovely people🥰Sending lots love 🥰and Blessings to you both .Take care ,Stay Safe, be Alert, and most importantly Have fun God bless🙏
I noticed Ruby's harness was under her instead of on top. It looked a little strange but oh well, you two managed the run and hike. I really like to here you laugh. It's so genuine and refreshing.
On hot days like this you might want to keep "minute rice" on hand since it only takes 5 min😉, & the salmon oil would be perfect on Rubys food. Thank you & Ruby for another great video!
I love watching your videos. Your van setup is awesome. I love how you seem to stay calm and confident. I am just getting started with van life. I have two dogs, I would love a video on how you find parking for the night. It seems like many places are not as welcoming to overnight parking. I am currently in Washington State as well. It's HOT!
Great video! Love you both and how great you get along caring for each other. Nice recipe and a cool little hike. Hope you get a break from the heat. Thank you and keep 'em coming. 💕
Enjoyed hanging out with y’all! I’m tethered to West Texas this summer, going through all my belongings, getting rid of most of it 😵💫. Quite the chore after living in my home for 17 years….so I enjoyed your walk about immensely! I make nori rolls a lot but have never tried mustard on them (I will now)… it looked yummy and that canned salmon looked very good. I’m not sure if you’re taking questions for your next live but I’m curious where you got your herbal knowledge and plant identification skills …. I used to own a small herb/health food store and have been an herbalist for many years…. I love to meet folks with plant/herb knowledge but it’s not very common. I wasn’t raised using herbal medicine but my parents did always let me grow plants in their veggie gardens…. I got into gardening and then herbal medicine in my late 20’s/early 30’s. Those nettles are chock full of minerals 😍 and would dry really fast hanging in your van… I drink lots of nettle tea/infusions especially during Fall and Spring allergy seasons. Hope your heart is healing a bit each day….. loss is its own journey unlike anything else. Sending ALL the Blessings to you and sweet, sweet Ruby! 🤗
Many people will put a ceiling fan in to draw out heat, or fresh air in, and add insulation to their vans ceiling and sides to keep out heat. I was just reading this on "van living forum" hope it helps.
The mom in me is asking you not to wear your headphones on a trail alone. I know you have Ruby but it is easy to subdue a dog and a female. Stay safe ❤ Also, the stinging nettle is great for arthritis and inflammation. Not that you have to worry about that but it’s good to pack away for later 😊
I would have loved jumping in the water! I think I was a fish in a former life! 😂😂 Glad yall had a good time! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶
Rowan I just LOVE watching your videos. You are so knowledgeable with wild life. I would be afraid of walking deep in the woods thinking bears, unless you carry stuff for if you get confronted by a bear? You are so calming. You are so good for my anxiety. Thank you. 💖🙏🏻😊🐕🦺🐾🦴✝️
Yawning in sync you two are so adorable together❤ I haven't watched for awhile I'm doing catch up today got my sidekick here too my 1 year Jack Russell Bella she loves to watch Ruby😊
I love to watch you, and the Rubygirl. She is so cute when she is galloping on the grass. You need to take us on a walk, and point out the plants, and flowers that can be eaten, and used.
😂 You got me over here singing Rainbow Connection.. (you wondered aloud what's on the other side). This is not a bad thing. Kermit is my soul spirit and I do love the song❤
What a gorgeous walk! It made me feel like I was there with you and Ruby walking with my Penny and Lily!! I’m sure eventually they would be great friends. My two are not socialized enough so they would bark their faces off for a while and Ruby would charm them and they would shut it!😂. Enjoy the hot days and stay cool lady!!❤
You really make some good (different) food. Well it’s because I just don’t know how to make food like that. But I bet it’s good! Love 💕 your sweet funny doggie. It’s so nice to have your doggie with you. Such good comfort, I have 2 sweet Chihuahua dogs. 🐕👍🏻💕
It would be nice if you published a book about your journey and how it all started, especially being so young when you started this beautiful journey called " Rowan and Ruby 's Journey " or something like that 🤗
Hi Rowan, Hi beautiful Ruby, Rowan, you scared me seeing you walking along with Ruby, in such an isolated place 😬 I was so happy to see you both get back to your home take care all the best Lin 💖
Omygosh! Washington State is absolutely Beautiful when the sky’s are blue. It’s just breathtaking. The wraps looks delicious. Enjoy the beautiful weather. PeaceAndLove Lori
Thank you for the great video's , really enjoy watching your adventures! Washington State is so beautiful , so much to see there. Love precious Ruby so much ,and God bless you both!
Good on you for getting some exercise!! I hope you continue to do it. You are quite brave for walking in unknown territory. Talking is a good thing to do just in case you are not alone.
What a beautiful hiking spot! Thanks for taking us along, Rowan. Nettles are tasty but it's been a few years since I've had them. They supposedly are good blood purifiers. Rubes was lovin' that AC.😁✌🤟
Hey Rowan, I know you've read the comments of concern....I agree with them. god forbid something should happen. Having said that, I love the snippets of info you give me/us as you explore the plant life. And can I be annoying and advise you to keep the flame under any pot on your gas hob to just inside the rim of the pot. It will heat quicker and save gas. 🥰
Please don't put your headphones in when you are alone in isolated areas. Not trying to scare you... I just want you and Ruby to be safe. Always be aware of everything and everyone around you. Praying for cooler temps for you both. Loved the sound of that rushing water from that little stream. Hugs to you both and God Bless!!!
That’s good advice- thank you! Hugs and blessings to you as well !
Hugs and blessings love to watch u and Ruby from my beautiful island Jamaica
👍
Agree Remember the hiker Rachel Morin who was alone on the trail & got brutally murdered. The Cartels are grabbing people also. One hand should carry pepper spray cuz won't do any good if it's down in a backpack. Horrible things jumped out in seconds.
Ewww I voiced this same thing to the tv like she could hear me or something 😮😊
Could put some of salmon oil over Ruby’s food. Good for her
So is canned pumpkin!
I see a lot of people here in the comments telling you what NOT to do (even thought it's probably coming from a place of love / concern), so I won't do that. What I will say, is thank you for all the wonderful, joyful moments you've shared and please KEEP ON BEING YOU!!! The world needs more like ya💞.

Because we care !!!!❤
Yeah, it's getting a bit ridiculous how many comments lately everyone telling you what to.. and not to do! She has raised her own child I think she is capable and aware! Given her a break everyone!! Please! 🍓
@daniellerancy6515 les personnes qui lui disent de ne pas mettre la musique dans les oreilles lorsqu'elle se promène isolée dans la forêt ont tout à fait raison 🙂
I love how freaking real you are. ❤
Those pet cooling beds are great for dogs & humans to keep cool.
Just a girl and her dog. I am so envious! The purity of your life is so wonderful to witness. Bless you and Ruby always 🫶🏻
You never complain about anything. Instead, you adapt well to your environment, you look for the blessings, and frankly, I think you have a beautiful life~ 🎉💙🎉

You should really think about writing a van cook book you are really talented seriously every meal you make look so delicious even things I would normally not eat good job
Totally agree!!!! Even if it was a PDF, I’d buy it.
I'd definitely buy it too ❤❤
Your content is wholesome - love watching you and Ruby’s journey.
Thank you!
It is, I just love it. I learn a lot from this channel. :)
The comments I have read offer very good advice, coming from a place of concern for you. Yes, I agree with all the comments I scrolled through. Your viewers are thoughtful people, wanting the best for you both. Be careful on your travels, especially in the heat. ❤❤❤
Totally agree its wrong some think its not ok...we are only concerned and want to virtually care x
I love that you are NOT living in fear. Bad things can happen to anyone…anywhere…
It seems, as women we’ve been brought up to believe as soon as we relax and appreciate life it equates to being snatched up or murdered.
You listen to your gut. You have an adorable pup who’s always listening and aware of your surrounds. You are inspiring!
We, as women CAN and should feel comfortable in nature. Love your videos. And thanks for sharing!❤
Amen to that.

❤❤❤ The synchronized Yawns from you and 🐕 Ruby!!!
Might be a good idea to get ruby some doggy shoes so she doesn't burn her little paws on the hot asphalt.
Ruby is fine . She’s not on asphalt , she’s on dirt and plants . My dogs life outdoors they don’t wear shoes . My family herded sheep for generations , and their dogs didn’t wear shoes either . Ruby is enjoying being a dog .
Key is if it's too hot to put your hand on, too hot fir doggy paws
I agree lizette . the asphalt is way to hot. Even if its 70ich or 80itc. Its like us humans walking barefoot.
Doggie shoes? Rediculous
I love when people forage edible plants/weeds/flowers/berries to eat like you did. Free nuritious food.
Basmati is a long grained more flavorful and healthier rice option. Please show us when u make a spicy, tangy and delish lentil stew/curry served over fluffy steamed basmati rice... maybe when the temperatures cool down a bit. ❤
Your videos always lift my spirits .you have such a great perspective on life.
Be careful hun, don't underestimate the heat and what it can do to your body, and Ruby's. All it takes is a wrong turn. Take plenty of water and supplies next time. In Australia there are regular cases of people getting lost - please take care xx

Nettle tea is lovely and is extremely detoxifying especially for the blood. Great antioxidant too. Just snip at the tops of the plants where the goodness is 💚
What a beautiful place you found! Take that life straw with you EVERYWHERE. It truly could save your life! Love to you and Ruby!
Great advice! This experience taught me I always need to have it with me in my backpack!🎒🍓🐾
Get ruby away from nettles.
@@glee105 Ruby has her fur to protect her from that sort of thing.
@justrowan a life straw even better it can filter out all the bad stuff.😘keep it with you at all times! I experienced my dog Birdie tripping me with her leash on a run spraining a ankle scraping both knees & elbows bloody.My philosophy is if your prepared nothing bad will happen😘🌞 and yep I wasn't prepared. no bear spray ,outta water ,no snackies😭my mind kept hearing imaginary bears coming for me🤣 in my imagination had me thinking rabid squirrels and skunks to were after me and because I had no snackies Birdie ran off not to find help but to find a free dinner from a sympathetic stranger 😂
I wondered why Rowan didn't fill her bottle. I thought running water would be safe....more fool a naive me, eh!
Thanks for sharing..I think you are doing a wonderful job of keeping yourself safe..you don’t say where you are at the present time. Keep doing you and Ruby!
Just between you and me, I always carry a hefty boxcutter in my pants pocket; 2 reasons I might need it to cut the twine on my horse hay bales, open packages, cut weeds, and I always have it on me for security; 24 hrs a day(yes I sleep with it in my pocket). In this day and age you just never know...just sayin'
Lovely trees there - thanks for taking me along on your hike. Ruby is a treasure.
It's so good to see you traveling and exploring again. Ruby is really growing up fast. Be careful when letting Ruby in water that has algae , it can be very dangerous for Ruby .

in Austin few years back algae was deadly. they check it everyday now at Red Bud Isle park which is unfenced no leash dog park.
Yes... I saw that also about that poor dog and will also kill humans if ingested. Algae blamed in many waters due to the climate change from the awful heat we're getting.
I don't know if it's the same people but I saw that happened to a couple who's dog died from algae.
Wow! Never heard of that B4.
Awesome video, Rowan! Next time you make sushi rice consider adding a splash of rice vinegar to the water (or Any vinegar for that matter). We add diced onion to ours as well. It gives the rice a tiny pop of flavor and an additional creamy texture. Thanks for taking us on your exploration! -V
Another idea to keep cool without running your AC is to put a block of ice in a pan and put a battery powered fan behind it. It will cool you off
I love that you wake with a smile on your face ❤️🙏🙏❤️
Without fail, seeing your face and hearing your voice and laugh lift my spirit. You are such good medicine for what ails, you little strawberry elf earth angel mama. Lovely walk, delish food. I wish I didn’t have to recommend you never wearing earbuds in public because they wipeout situational awareness, but…you do you. I have to trust your trust to not worry. Much love to you and the Rubes. ❤🍓🍓🍓🍓
I find Rowan very inspirational and love all the videos.
We all had a lovely walk and learnt a few things about the plants…👏🦋🇦🇺
Beautiful place for a hike and lunch! Great video RnR! Thank you for taking us along! Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐕❤️
Beautiful place! Thanks for the great recipe. That TJ salmon is the best. You're the only person I've ever watched who makes seaweed rolls "real quick" for a picnic lol!
🌯🎒😊
Yeah, I loved this idea. I love sushi and making it with basmati rice and mustard stuck together seaweed, genius! 😊
What a fun day! Thanks for taking us along! ☮️❤️☀️
Ruby's heavy eyes made me sleepy. What a beautiful day, and thank you for sharing it with us.
Like a lot of comments have said, not both headphones! Love your content, love how whole vibe just nervous for you.
Ticks are everywhere.
Sweet video. Lovely place. LOL on you and Ruby yawning at the same time.
I noticed their yawning together also. Hahaha
Nice hike! Ruby snoozing against the a/c ❤ So cute! 🥰 Glad you ran the a/c to cool off!
I meant to comment on the previous video, but you might look into getting extension cables for your solar panels so that you can park in the shade, while putting your panels in the sun. I think you might lose a little efficiency, but not living in an oven would be a good trade-off. Love watching you and Ruby, and the joy you both have for life!
That synchronized yawn was adorable 😅
Great spot for an afternoon walk with Ruby. Stay safe and have a good rest of your week.🍓🍓🍓🍓
Oh my Goodness you answered my question about how you stay cool....so awesome thank you ! You seem so down to earth bless you!
I’m worried for all in this heatwave 🔥 please don’t run out of water on your walks 🙏🏻 i can’t stand the heat, so when its hot here , I carry a little spray with water to spray in my face , and a vet cloth around my neck , it helps a lot 💦💧 I agree as some mentioned, a damp towel and a cooling mat for Ruby would be so good for her ❤ be carefull and stay safe out there 🙏🏻❤️
We love you all the way from South Africa
Thank you for sharing your lovely walk in the woods, dear Rowan. I especially enjoy your interactions with Ruby :) Precious! I hope you remain comfortable in this hot weather. Sending much ❤️ from Ontario.

And carry a personal locator device ❤. Advised by the lovely David Paulides
Where ever there are nettles there's usually dock leaves nearby to put on your sting and calm it down.
So nice to see the forest up close and personal! Thank you so much!! Love you guys!
You’re welcome! Thank you for coming along!
I noticed Ruby's harness was under her instead of on top. It looked a little strange but oh well, you two managed the run and hike. I really like to here you laugh. It's so genuine and refreshing.
Great video! Thanks for advice! Beautiful place and Beautiful weather. You are and your Ruby be safe!!
A hat would really keep you cooler! What a nice place to hang out
Thank you Rowan and Ruby! I loved sharing this day with you! ❤️🍓🙋🏻♀️
Another wonderful video!
Im glad you and Ruby 🐾 had a nice walk, hope yr staying cool and stay safe ❤️✌🏻. ÇALI 🌴
On hot days like this you might want to keep "minute rice" on hand since it only takes 5 min😉, & the salmon oil would be perfect on Rubys food. Thank you & Ruby for another great video!
Ruby's reaction next to the AC after the hike 🥰
It feels so calm when i look into your videos 😊❤
Such a peaceful place. Glad you found such a special path, and exploring with Miss Ruby is the best. ❤❤
You and Ruby yawning at the same time ❤❤❤🍓🐾🍓🐾
I love watching your videos. Your van setup is awesome. I love how you seem to stay calm and confident. I am just getting started with van life. I have two dogs, I would love a video on how you find parking for the night. It seems like many places are not as welcoming to overnight parking. I am currently in Washington State as well. It's HOT!
I love how Ruby was laying against the air vent, so cute
Get one of those cooling towels , when you wet them they stay cool ,i always use them in the summer! Life saver really $6 at walmart😊 camping section
Great video! Love you both and how great you get along caring for each other. Nice recipe and a cool little hike. Hope you get a break from the heat. Thank you and keep 'em coming. 💕
Enjoyed hanging out with y’all! I’m tethered to West Texas this summer, going through all my belongings, getting rid of most of it 😵💫. Quite the chore after living in my home for 17 years….so I enjoyed your walk about immensely!

I love your laugh!! This video is fabulous and I learned a few new things! Much love to you and Ruby from Joppa, MD. ❤
The mom in me is asking you not to wear your headphones on a trail alone. I know you have Ruby but it is easy to subdue a dog and a female. Stay safe ❤
Also, the stinging nettle is great for arthritis and inflammation. Not that you have to worry about that but it’s good to pack away for later 😊
I would have loved jumping in the water! I think I was a fish in a former life! 😂😂 Glad yall had a good time! Happy Camping and Safe Travels! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶
Thanks for the walk because I would NOT be doing that alone. I’d be afraid I’d loose my way.🤦🏼♀️😁
Glad you enjoyed your day. Looked very peaceful.
Wowza THAT looks so yummy. Thanks for the demo & idea. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this trip today with us.
Rowan I just LOVE watching your videos. You are so knowledgeable with wild life. I would be afraid of walking deep in the woods thinking bears, unless you carry stuff for if you get confronted by a bear? You are so calming. You are so good for my anxiety. Thank you. 💖🙏🏻😊🐕🦺🐾🦴✝️
My girls and I ate a lot of nettle when we lived in the Saskatchewan boreal forest.
😂😂😂😂 Yeah Ruby's no fool. Laying up against the AC 😂😂😂😂😂
Yawning in sync you two are so adorable together❤ I haven't watched for awhile I'm doing catch up today got my sidekick here too my 1 year Jack Russell Bella she loves to watch Ruby😊

😂 You got me over here singing Rainbow Connection.. (you wondered aloud what's on the other side). This is not a bad thing. Kermit is my soul spirit and I do love the song❤
What a gorgeous walk! It made me feel like I was there with you and Ruby walking with my Penny and Lily!! I’m sure eventually they would be great friends. My two are not socialized enough so they would bark their faces off for a while and Ruby would charm them and they would shut it!😂. Enjoy the hot days and stay cool lady!!❤
You really make some good (different) food. Well it’s because I just don’t know how to make food like that. But I bet it’s good! Love 💕 your sweet funny doggie. It’s so nice to have your doggie with you. Such good comfort, I have 2 sweet Chihuahua dogs. 🐕👍🏻💕
Ruby got all pooped out, those droopy eyes were adorable
Great walk Rowan ❤😊
Ruby has the right idea...head against the A/C!!!! Sending loves and hugs to you both!!!
🤗
I love nettles, but it’s best to eat them only before they start to flower, otherwise they can be hard on your urinary system.
It would be nice if you published a book about your journey and how it all started, especially being so young when you started this beautiful journey called " Rowan and Ruby 's Journey " or something like that 🤗
Hi Rowan, Hi beautiful Ruby, Rowan, you scared me seeing you walking along with Ruby, in such an isolated place 😬 I was so happy to see you both get back to your home take care all the best Lin 💖
Omygosh! Washington State is absolutely Beautiful when the sky’s are blue. It’s just breathtaking.
The wraps looks delicious. Enjoy the beautiful weather.
PeaceAndLove

Love watching you I'm glad you made it back to your van before getting overheated thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Thank you for the great video's , really enjoy watching your adventures! Washington State is so beautiful , so much to see there. Love precious Ruby so much ,and God bless you both!
Rowan and Ruby stay cool and hydrated 😎 🐾🫶🍓🦋🙏🏻
Thank you! You as well!
Thank you for the amazing hike❤❤
Hopefully Ecoflow will send you their AC and powerbank machine to advertise - fingers crossed 🤞
Good on you for getting some exercise!! I hope you continue to do it. You are quite brave for walking in unknown territory. Talking is a good thing to do just in case you are not alone.
What a beautiful hiking spot! Thanks for taking us along, Rowan. Nettles are tasty but it's been a few years since I've had them. They supposedly are good blood purifiers. Rubes was lovin' that AC.😁✌🤟
Thank God for air conditioning. Glad you have it.
Always carry more water with you and the headphone thing isn't wise. Watch for creepers lerking in the woods waiting for unsuspecting females
R and r.. wonderful together..just love all your videos.from Teresa.cork.ireland.
Hey Rowan, I know you've read the comments of concern....I agree with them. god forbid something should happen.
Having said that, I love the snippets of info you give me/us as you explore the plant life.
And can I be annoying and advise you to keep the flame under any pot on your gas hob to just inside the rim of the pot. It will heat quicker and save gas. 🥰
