  • This week, we were surprised and nearly stranded by an unexpected snowstorm while living off-grid in the mountains. While my truck camper seems to be faring well, we still aren't sure if the van will make it out...

    Words from an old man: After seeing you on Maddie's recent video. I decided to find your channel and I subscribe to it. Watching you Maddie and the dogs play, give me much joy. When I was young I use to hang out with smart Pretty Girls/ladies. Watching you and Maddie's videos Is like hanging out with my Granddaughters. They too are smart and beautiful just like you guys. Thank you for your video!

    i carry 2 - 5 gal buckets of salt ,the last time i was in montana , we were in rest area, spend the night there, the next morning we couldnt get out due to the snow fall the night before? went to a small store and purchase some rock salt , spread it around the truck/trailer and in front of me toward a path onto the highway, it took about 4 hrs, but were out, so since that trip , i carry rock salt and be prepared. on around trip i watch a man with a 50 foot hose from a propane tank and a harbvor freight blow torch to smelt down the snow to get out , its something else if you want to get out of the snow .

    Your body makes enough heat, you just need the right gear to retain it. I have a TETON Sports Celsius XL Sleeping Bag that is rated to -25F. I get the XL so I can put my regular flannel sleeping bag inside it when needed. If for some reason you are in -60F, you can put a space blanket between the 2 sleeping bags to retain more heat. Don't sleep with the space blanket on you, you will sweat and then freeze when you come out. Baffin Titan boots are comfort rated to -148F.

    I mentioned it on another channel. If you make it to town, get some newspaper. You can crumple it up and stuff it between your clothing and /or bedding for insulation. I used it often when doing evening newspaper deliveries in upstate western new york in the 1980s. Plus, it's what the homeless used too.

    Girl get some gloves lol. The snow while cold, was just stunning. Tara sure enjoyed it. I'm in SC now and building on my van still. Yesterday it was 86 degrees out. Its still in the 40s at night but last night only got down to 61. I have a portable ac but still no heat source yet. Not sure what I can safely use in a mini van. Although I have one of the largest mini vans (20 ft), I don't have the height. Any suggestions? I sure hope Maddie got the heat going. Last yr with only an electric blanket and my Bluetti, I had to sleep.in -10 °.
    You truly look radiant this week. Have fun and be safe.❤

    I have a similar unit from Inergy called the Flex 1500 with 2000wh lithium (your;s 1152wh) and love it but it will not heat my van with an electric heater for any significant amount of time since most heaters are 800w and will run about 2 ish hours on 1000wh. I run a small fridge, lights, fans, recharge phones etc, c-pap, and cook almost exclusively with electric. My heat is from propane and a Wave 6 radiant heater and I have a back-up Coleman camp stove. I love your setup, plug and play solar systems are the way to go for those of us who are electrically challenged. Can't wait to watch your winter camping adventures.

    I'm a North Dakotan so seeing you clear off snow with an oar was very amusing. Fun fact if you didn't know: you can use a credit card (you don't care about) to scrap ice off your windshield if you don't have an ice scraper *in general*. Have you thought about getting a bigger ice scraper that you could maybe put in between your seats or something? It would be so much quicker. But considering you probably don't deal with snow that much it probably doesn't make sense to have one.
