    Nice scenery around the ice cave! You know it’s cold out when you need a refrigerator to keep your food from freezing. Take care!

    Happy you two are safe after the crazy weather we have had ! After Thanksgiving we had four feet of snow in two days here in Erie Pa. A warm up then sub zero temps for awhile . After the big snow fall it slid off the roof and landed on my sons RV and crushed it . Crazy weather ! Stay safe !

    My diesel heater had issues in similar cold. Diesel gels up in certain low temperatures. I learned there's an additive to avoid that. My diesel heater is cheap but supposedly detects elevation and adjusts automatically.

    Love the Ice Caves! Adding to list! Inspiring, indeed, but my key takeaway from your video today is THAT SOUP! I'm going to STUDY your soup. LOL I buy cans of veggie soup for $5 that have like a thimble-full of vegetables in it. I'll definitely try that boullion too. LOL at the attempts to light the stove. COLD! We're all cry babies in Tahoe today because it's 15 degrees. PLUS +15 degrees. LOL You're tougher than we are! :) Keep going!

    The price you pay for living in the beautiful north, that kind of weather is insane, I was born in DC in July & the below 0 temps are not my best days or nights. Felt that soup big time, reminded of making fondue & dipping bread, veggies & fruit. Thanks for showing that cave of frozen wonders, if you visit Julia again this winter you should get her out to Skyline Drive & Shenandoah for some cool Virginia winter scenery!

    "madilynn" when it comes to ice, (after a serious "slip" accident I had - off work 10 months), I utilise winter "Icebugs" rather than "slip on" "spikes" for dodgy ice ground in my location. Never knew about them prior to my incident. I'm sure there are other shoes/boots same/similar out there that will also do a good work. Anyway thank you for your update. Both you, & Athena. please take care😀 BTW the soup looks really good...

    I have lived in my 98 Chinook for 5 years. I see all of these beautiful people on youtube who are supposedly nomads yet I have never run into 1 single beautiful person on the road. This is all B.S.

    • @scotthuffman-jf6fy
      @scotthuffman-jf6fy 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      P.S.-Do you have any idea how cold it is in a Chinook much less a van like this? I spent many nights at 10 degrees much less this van with much less insulation. She is not even bundled up. What a crock. Rvs are very rarely made for winter weather much less vans. Fake.

    • @scotthuffman-jf6fy
      @scotthuffman-jf6fy 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Look how everything starts up so easily, even the oven....at -17 degrees? She even takes her coat off again. This is not RV life. If this is what you expect you will be very disappointed.

    "capitalism is working" unfortunately, no, it is a disaster. a lot of these videos are incredibly misleading about how good life is in america when compared to life in the past. is it still a much better standard of living than most places in the world? sure, but our middle class is vanishing and our economy is becoming more and more geared to the working poor. people must work much harder and longer on average to afford the same comparative lifestyle of only a few decades ago, but unfortunately most people don't know or care because we are rich with convenience and a multitude of useless choices. we have the illusion of wealth even if we struggle from paycheck to paycheck.

  • @leilal8053

    How can you not have a spoon when you love soup so much? Also, language is a turn-off. A generational thing, obviously, but a shame as it detracts from what could be a nice video.
    If you plan on camping in this kind of weather (which I love) you might consider getting some doggie booties. Happy Travels.
