It's very heartwarming how you realize youe dog needs to get outside and run in between road travel. Good for you, and how well you treat this sweet dog.
Your dog is so cute. I loved it when you turned on the light before getting out of bed,and she was snuggled up next to you. She's so happy. Coffee, a good book, and snuggling with your dog. That is a perfect day.
I just love Ruby and Rowan. Could watch them all day. Her simple life in a van she decked out herself in a parking lot is so moving. I find her very creative, very real and just so clever with her filming.
My dog liked ice cubes when his teeth hurt. He still likes them as treats but he really liked them when he was a puppy and he was getting his adult teeth.
Ruby cracks me up how playful she is, I love how she is such a good girl and stays close and doesn't run off. You can tell she really is enjoying zipping around on the beach 😏
Stay by the lake with the breeze coming off of it to avoid the black flies. They bite, can swarm you, and they LUV bug spray. Been going up there for over 40 years. It’s gorgeous. Enjoy!
Those black flies are nasty bast*rds! They like humid days with no breeze. I used to get swarmed just terrible. They loved me for some reason. One day I went running screaming waving my arms into a little convenience store along the highway to get away from them and a huge swarm of flies followed me in the door. The person working there passed out fly swatters to all the customers …LOL TRUE STORY. All you can hope for is the big lake has a nice breeze coming off of it and hang there. Otherwise, we saved bad flies days for napping inside or going for a drive.
Thanks for letting us hang out with you today. Love to see you and Ruby together ❤️🐶 What a team! And you are so good at cooking. Great stew, love cilantro. Make sure to stay safe and enjoy ! 🤗
A bald eagle just ate a couple of our chickens the other day and I saw crows and a mockingbird chase it away the next day. Rudy is a joy. God bless and best wishes with all you're doing!
My little dog Cisco loves when i can pick up from the grocery store a small piece of bone marrow, usually the butcher will give you free, i fill the centre withorganic peanut butter, just get at health food store, cheap, and freeze it. Good for his teeth, cools him down in summer, loves gnawing on it in general and really healthy, something different ❤❤
The adventures of Rowan & Ruby! You two are meant to be together. If you give her human food, she will turn her nose up at her own food. I am experiencing that, right now with my dog! She loves her freedom to run. She is so young she wants to have fun. Cindy Lauper's song, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, came to mind. When you were gathering wood for your fire, watching here run back and forth was priceless. The Van is looking so nice, inside. I think you are happy. Thanks for sharing. See you on your next video. Stay safe, the two of you and continue to have fun. Heather Ontario, 🇨🇦
It truly is. My ancestors settled there when they came over from England and Ireland. I spent over half my life spending my summers there and even lived there for a while. I hadn't been back since 2002 when my grandma died and we just did a very quick visit almost two weeks ago. It was good for my soul.
My parents immigrated to the states when I was 3, in 1960. Back then you couldn't get SaltnVinegar in the USA. Old Dutch in Canada made them. My Nana would send us SaltnVinegar chips, Caramilk chocolate bars and meat pies 😂 Oh how excited we would get.
I save the watching of your videos for when I don't feel great, and they never fail to soothe me. It feels so homely and cosy here. I do think it might be time to update the channel name though; you're not Just Rowan any more. You're Rowan & Ruby now! Thanks :)
I think she would love to chase a ball or stick. You can get that one at the dollar store that has the long handle with the ball at the end and it just flip it that will give her so much exercise all the energy. She has stay safe and keep enjoying your life.
Oh, you went to my beloved Upper Peninsula!!! I'm half Yooper (Dad was born and raised there). Don't know anything about those Dutch Crunch chips, but I recognized the log and it's Old Dutch. I grew up eating those chips and only saw them when I went to the UP.
i never found a way to cook tofu that made me like it. i am going to try your recipe as best i can. i know it''s a good source of meatless protein. thanks for your channel. i'm enjoying watching your travels and ruby of course.
I was born and raised in Michigan. Had the absolute best childhood growing up anyone could ask for. Didn’t matter what season it was, we had fun. Take your time and enjoy. Hugs Rowan and Ruby. 🍓🍓
I love how everyone cares so much for you and Rube's.. l have lived with dogs most of my life and Rowan those dry kibbles ..food is not good for dogs..l did a course with a couple of holistic vets...they reckon the commercial dry food is full of bad stuff...like take away for humans...l instantly threw the food in the bin...got meat from butcher..along with hearts etc..like what animals do in the wild...please take care you guys
Fun fact (for me): I had never seen a drain plug like the one you put on your sink til you showed us that one. And now there's one in the bathtub here at my new apartment. The best thing for moose is to see it in the distance. My oldest nephew used to call folded chips like that wish chips.
I think Ruby was looking for a stick to chase!! She is so well behaved, curious and just adorbs! Beauteous shot of the juvenile eagle! Great waves... Great video!
Love the ideas of pancakes or waffles for Ruby to chew on. I second the idea of canned food for Ruby. You know Ruby looks part Visla to me...they are known for being energetic and affectionate as well as great with other dogs. she's a beauty!!! Love her name too. I missed where you got her from. Blessings to you both! There's no better company than a dog...including humans! LOL
It is so beautiful when you see a bald eagle flying over you. 😊 I know you don’t have a freezer, but if you have a way of getting a washcloth really cold, Ruby can suck on that. Also, this may sound funny but it works, frozen waffles or pancakes. They are tasty for her and will help with the sore gums. Stay safe on your travels ❤
I just came across this video you posted a couple months ago from Michigan's U.P., one of my favorite parts of Michigan! It sounds like you enjoyed your time in our fair state. ❤
I wish all places was safe for us women's, I got so afraid seen you alone on places! I pray for God to protect you. I was in my Van for 10 days with my daughter and was amazing! But I would wake up in the middle of the night to make sure nobody was trying something so I could have time to call the cops if needed. ✌️ For you❤
Poke holes in a large ziplok and wrap your greens 🥬 in a slightly damp paper towel and put them in the bag. Stores a long time and it will fit incredibly well n your cooler. Same with most produce like your strawberries. No damp towels though.
Sweet onion chips are amazing. Dogs can't have onion or garlic, it's toxic to their respiratory system. Also for her teething, you could get her a Kong ball or bone. If you can't afford that, you could let her chomp a piece of tree branch lol my dog loves them. Maybe you could get her a big bone from the butcher, it should be labeled soup bone. Sweet onion kettle chips are my favorite 😋 may want to get her a hartz flea and tick collar, they're good for a year and work great. I get mine at Walmart and the Hartz collar for fleas, ticks and the eggs. Never had any issues. I don't give my dogs any oral medicine for flea and tick, because I don't trust that. My family has always trusted Hartz collar since I was a child. Also if you get her shots, make sure to get the Bordatello shot so she's protected against anything an animal may have left disease wise ❤️ sorry for so much advice, but we love and care for you two and want the best for you. We enjoy our journey with you. Be safe ❤
Hello Rowan, your personality and laughter is contagious. I always enjoy watching your vlogs, they relax me. I wish you and Ruby happiness and health 🙏
J.R I've watched a lot of your videos..it helps me to find peace in my mind. I struggle with finding my own line in the world. I feel as if PTSD has my trapped in my own mind and I continue to make poor decisions. I want to thank you for the videos you drop
Omg 😂😂😂😂 literally laughing out loud watching Ruby look like an ‘old lady’ in the blanket…wearing a hood. Thx for the video Rowan. Love hanging out with you;) as you say in the video. Be safe be well be happy. M✨
Ive always wondered if vanlife people came up here because being that the U.P. is 95% wilderness with only 5% being populated. I would think it would be a perfect place in the summer. I love following your adventures with Ruby.
OMG, Ruby is so stinking cute and when her nose pushed out of the blanket, so so adorable! To get her to better eat her food, add a little warm water to it because her teeth are probably sensitive! Wow, what beautiful water views and the bald eagle is gorgeous!!! Never heard of Dutch chips but they sound good!!!!! Just to let u know that dogs aren't supposed to have onions, onion salt, onion powder, anything onion is toxic to them. Thanks for sharing! So much fun!!!
Hi Rowen. Hope you get this. I worked at a Pet Store. I notice Ruby isn't to excited about Her Food. I highly recommend Nutro. These foods have what Dogs and Cats need. Cannot recommend enough. Food makes beautiful shiny coat and alleviates skin problems. And they love It! You two are awesome. Definitely need more Ruby. Both so Cute.
I live in Michigan, Traverse City is the best town to visit. Once you are finished in the UP if you travel down lake Michigan side you would enjoy the ride it's beautiful. Also you can take a ferry in your van from lake Michigan side over to Wisconsin if you didn't know. so happy you made it to MI its still cold but the great lakes are pretty.
Dutch Crunch As a railroad worker I shoved car loads of “nut oil” into Old Dutch in St. Paul, Mn. They would sometimes toss bags of fresh chips of the day on our locomotive. Jalapeños and cheddar is a favorite of mine. I’ve seen them out here in ND. I’ve seen Ketchup flavor in Canada. That laugh though… always gets me. Be safe Love the van. ❤

Ruby looked like the Big Bad Wolf with the blanket over her head!
Hahaha 😂
I have to wonder how you're always fortunate enough to find spots where there are little to no other people there 😂❤
The scene with Ruby under the blanket made my day 🥰
You can mix a little bit of warm water and with her food it will soften it up for her while she is teething.
I love the sound of the crashing waves and the water fall. What a beautiful place.
My dog liked ice cubes when his teeth hurt. He still likes them as treats but he really liked them when he was a puppy and he was getting his adult teeth.
Ruby cracks me up how playful she is, I love how she is such a good girl and stays close and doesn't run off. You can tell she really is enjoying zipping around on the beach 😏
😅you make beautiful videos!!! You and Ruby are wonderful, I love following you and Rubes❤
My two little dogs would take off like a streak of lightning 😮 Ruby is so good 💕 🐶 hugi
16:01 Welcome to Michigan.
Check out our lighthouses.
Enjoy❤
Stay by the lake with the breeze coming off of it to avoid the black flies. They bite, can swarm you, and they LUV bug spray. Been going up there for over 40 years. It’s gorgeous. Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up. We’re going to Michigan this summer
Good morning from south carolina.
Bug jackets, and napalm. 😅😅😅😅...Been there, done that, never again!!
Hang in there JR... good wish from a lot of people I'm sure are rooting for you
How to do the day to day things we take for granted while living in a house is very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for letting us hang out with you today. Love to see you and Ruby together ❤️🐶 What a team! And you are so good at cooking. Great stew, love cilantro. Make sure to stay safe and enjoy ! 🤗
❤That little dog has never known anything but L❤VE ❣️
The UP is one of my favorite places. It will always have a special place in my heart.
I really like the way you set up your home on wheels, very nice and beautiful.
Like seeing you two.
Your channel feels like home. I've started eating green salads first meal of the day and am finding this helps my digestion enormously.
A bald eagle just ate a couple of our chickens the other day and I saw crows and a mockingbird chase it away the next day. Rudy is a joy. God bless and best wishes with all you're doing!
I love the sink/water/“plumbing” setup you have. I’m going to borrow that idea. So simple and logical!
❤️😎🐈⬛

The UP is God's country... Tranquil and so beautiful ❤❤
Oh I’m looking for peace! Hope togo soon.
It truly is. My ancestors settled there when they came over from England and Ireland. I spent over half my life spending my summers there and even lived there for a while. I hadn't been back since 2002 when my grandma died and we just did a very quick visit almost two weeks ago. It was good for my soul.
Yes it is I was born and raised in the copper country of Michigan upper peninsula
Love the waterfall. Ruby is so happy-go- lucky😊❤
Old Dutch is a Canadian company started in 1954 . I grew up eating their chips . Still the best ones . 😊
My parents immigrated to the states when I was 3, in 1960. Back then you couldn't get SaltnVinegar in the USA. Old Dutch in Canada made them. My Nana would send us SaltnVinegar chips, Caramilk chocolate bars and meat pies 😂 Oh how excited we would get.
Rowan has such a lovely smile just waking up...@9:25

I just realized that there is a dog tooth fairy and my mind is blown 😅 Happy travels in beautiful Michigan!
🧚🏻♀️🐾❤️
That truly is beautiful. It almost reminds me of Nova Scotia.
Your smile is so addictive 😅. Makes me happy ❤. Cheers from Poland
That waterfall is beautiful

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. What beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad I quit coffee ☕️ for good feeling so much better and energetic. Now I drink only green tea and herbal teas. I sleep better too ❤❤❤❤
Wow, How Beautiful all the places you were at in this video!!! LOVED the waterfall! !!😊❤❤
You should go to St. Ignace, you and the little one can take a ferry over to Mackinaw Island.
i never found a way to cook tofu that made me like it. i am going to try your recipe as best i can. i know it''s a good source of meatless protein. thanks for your channel. i'm enjoying watching your travels and ruby of course.
Ha-Ha---I think Ruby kept wanting you to throw her a stick when you were gathering kindling for your fire. SO cute!!
I was born and raised in Michigan. Had the absolute best childhood growing up anyone could ask for. Didn’t matter what season it was, we had fun. Take your time and enjoy. Hugs Rowan and Ruby. 🍓🍓
Best cherries in the world, too!!
What’s the best time of year for a Texan to visit? I really don’t like cold weather.
Love Ruby. What a personality. ❤❤❤
Adorable Ruby so fun, funny and a sweetie pie!

Wow some of the dishes you prepare look so good.
So wonderful you get to explore together. Ruby must love life on the road!
Beautiful camping spot. It looks peaceful and quiet.
Welcome to Michigan!!!
I'm Northern Lower, where the pinky is! If you have an opportunity, you should visit Leelanau County 💯❤️🤙

28:00 you can always tell an Eagle because they fly with flat wings opposed to flying with V wings
Love a 1 pot meal ! Yum 😊

You have a beautiful dog and that tofu dish looked really yummy! Stay bless on your journey
I live in Michigan, Traverse City is the best town to visit. Once you are finished in the UP if you travel down lake Michigan side you would enjoy the ride it's beautiful. Also you can take a ferry in your van from lake Michigan side over to Wisconsin if you didn't know. so happy you made it to MI its still cold but the great lakes are pretty.
That ferry is v÷ry expensive.
Ruby is getting so big ! ❤
Ruby under the blanket cracked me up. She is so funny to watch. I enjoy seeing all the views you show us, and especially seeing the eagle. too cool!
Summers and fall are beautiful there. After that exit for a warmer climate. Winters are long and harsh there.
You are living my dream life Rowan 💞💞I hope you feel wonderful!!! Ruby is getting big, and she’s running around free!!!!! Such joy, I love it 🥰🥰
Welcome to the place I grew up. I now live just across the border in Northern Wisconsin. ♥️😊
Old Dutch chips are sold in parts of the Midwest and Canada
They were delicious!
I love how you always offer us a bite😂 so sweet❣️
Dutch Crunch
As a railroad worker I shoved car loads of “nut oil” into Old Dutch in St. Paul, Mn. They would sometimes toss bags of fresh chips of the day on our locomotive.
Jalapeños and cheddar is a favorite of mine.
I’ve seen them out here in ND.
I’ve seen Ketchup flavor in Canada.
That laugh though… always gets me.
Be safe
Love the van.
❤
Hi Rowan I use the same ingredients in my curry’s not a meat eater an absolutely delicious , ruby is growing up so fast she’s beutifull ❤xx
Ruby is the vest & so are you sis, take care friend.❤
The beach is my peaceful place. Need to visit it soon.
You are my favorite channel. Love your videos and rubbs too❤
I love watching your videos.
