    Would love to hear more about your life…childhood, family, reasons for doing van life etc. I wish more UA-camrs would tell more of their story. I guess lots of people don’t want to share, but I enjoy hearing about people’s lives. Enjoy your channel. I have a 2012 Ford E250 van very much like yours. 🙂

    Happy Sunday, Rowan!
    ❓ Question:
    Have you by chance invested in a
    sport/marine safety horn?
    These horns are compact--making them easy to take along on a hike.
    Some air horns are audible
    up to a 1/2 mile.
    I encourage you, if you haven't already, to purchase 1 for your vehicle, and one that goes with you anytime you hike.
    The incredibly loud sound can deter many predators.
    More importantly, if a creature has you or Ruby in its clutches, this sound will most likely get the predator to drop what is in its mouth and run away from this sound as fast as possible.
    When I consider how much nature you and your precious 💞Ruby cover on a daily/weekly basis, it occurs to me that this device can preserve both of your lives.
    Be well & take good care,
    Joy 🌊

    Just a idea but get small towels and wet them with cold water. Then put them in ziplock bags and place in cooler. You can use them when you and Ruby need cooled down. We always put on the back of neck.

    • @lornagoodman1891
      @lornagoodman1891 5 місяців тому +4

      Yes, this! My German grandmother did that years ago when she visited us in the Florida summer. Putting the cold washcloth on her wrists and the back of her neck. 🤗

    There’s a cooling vest you can get for Ruby. You soak it in cool water and put it on like a harness. It cools the dog’s body throughout the day. REI Carrie’s them.

    You put the plug in the fridge upside down. There is this little metal piece on the top of the socket in the fridge. The slot that goes into is on the other side of the plug. So turn your plug 180 degrees and maybe it will work then.

    I think you should hold off on going out to dog parks in that heat… Dogs can overheat and have heat stroke, also their paw can burn from the heat on the ground

    • @ilyykwjo7754
      @ilyykwjo7754 3 місяці тому

      I was going to say the same. I'm in Texas, so it's definitely hot here. I always walk my dog on the grass and am very careful, to not keep him out long but enough to enjoy frolicking in the grass a little. Lol. Always keep water with us, and we can go several times a day, just smaller walks when it's terrible hot.

    Look up dogs and ice water. It can spazz their intestines n cause knots. Lick frozen water bottles or lick ice. I could be wrong. Wet Rubes ears and paws to cool her down. You guys are awesome. Stay cool. 100 in Oregon. I admire all you do. Keep on keeping on.

    Hello! Missoulian here! Yes! You were right by the University of Montana! The 'L' is for Loyola Sacred Heart High School. Idk when you were here but we just had a MASSIVE wind storm, 107mph winds on the mountain near the 'M'. Hence all the branches. May be why the burned area you found.
    July and August is almost always really hot. And smokey. I dont blame you for leaving lol!

    Always remember when she gets overheated don’t cool her down too fast, as a nurse I can say their bodies are like ours..you don’t want to send her into shock. Poor baby. I have a black dog and we live on the beach in Alabama so the humidity is 98% right now..

    I hope the freezer keeps going. Here in Australia I came heaps with just and Esky (cooler) and what I do is freeze 3 Litre (0.7 gallon) plastic bottles from either juice or milk that are filled with water and that one will stay frozen for 3-4 days in 38C (100F) weather so if you can constantly have a few frozen you can keep everything constantly cold.
    I love watching you guys. Keep enjoying life. Take care.

    The L, in case you're wondering, stands for Loyola Sacred Heart High School. The trail immediately starts heading uphill, and the view of Missoula begins to reveal itself. Looking to the south, you can see the University of Montana. The foot of University Mountain (where you'll find the Big M) is on the left.Nov 15, 2015

    4:05 Oh! I just bought one of those! By Odoga. It's a small inverter. (Voltage) You may need to check the wattage to see if it can handle your freezer. Mine's wattage is 500, but there are smaller ones too. I figured it would often be handy to have... Glad to hear that you agree. 😊 Have not tried mine yet.
    I want to do van life too. Been contemplating it since 2012. Should have done it in 2013 when I had some spare cash.
    I'm more than fed up with renting homes. It used to be fine, but it's becoming increasingly unpleasant (people hounding me; it seems to be age-related) and all I now do when I rent is put money into other people's pockets for something that makes me miserable, also for other reasons. That is just stoopid. I love the idea of being in a van, have thought about it a lot now. I can do this. (But I need some more money, to buy a van. Been looking at auctions etc.)
    Yes, I'd always looked forward to getting older but I am truly taken aback by how much contempt and abusive behaviors it can attract. In a van, if someone is pestering you, you simply drive away. 😊

    I had the same thing for dinner! I was bragging to my roommate how good it was. I like mine with just a little Lowry's garlic salt. Sometimes I will marinate the meat in a teensy bit of vinegar on hand. Wish I'd had that ice cream though. Did I miss when Ruby got that fabulous Everything Bagel toy. I'd like to get my doggie one. Nice and sturdy and easy for her to grab. I'll Google it. PS I've been told when it's too hot go north (meaning altitude.)

    If your air conditioner is not putting out the coldness that it should be putting out you may not go to O'Reilly's automotive and buy some freon and ask them if they would put it in for you. It's so good to see you traveling again and having a good time at Ruby has really grown and she is such a good dog. She looks really hot, you're such a good mommy for her and I'm glad you have each other. Blessings from my little Jaxson and I ( Sherry ) here in Oklahoma.

Come visit Bozeman we’re about 3.5 hours away. I go to the Gallatin Regional dog park it has a dog pond in it and a .5 mile walking loop around it, lots of room for Ruby to run.

    I'm enjoying this so much. Even though it's hot it looks beautiful.
    The river looked so inviting. Glad Ruby didn't get stung. Oh yummy. Steak salad for dinner. It looks delicious. Enjoy your evening. Hugs to you and Ruby. See you tomorrow. Be safe. 🫶🐾🐾🦋

    I find your laugh very infectious and by no means do I mean this in a bad way but I always think of Fred Flintstone when you chuckle.

    I have to give you a compliment you must be in a much happier state of mind because from the first time i've ever watched your videos which I want to say is about 6-7 months ago you look much younger I think ruby has gave you strength&lots of love and I think getting this nice size van has also been a good thing for you you have great videos.

    One more thing, lol. Have you thought about getting a PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER for your van? Ive heard they work excellent! Maybe even better than a regular window unit.They have all sizes and dont really cost all that much. I think theres a small one for just over $100. They stand up, plug into a regular amp plug socket. They have 3 fan speeds, a Dehumidifier that keeps it cool also and the a/c. There also one that comes with a air conditioner and is also a heater. Just see about how many square feet your van is and the smaller the area the cheaper it will be.They stand upright and dont take up much room. All you have to allow for is theres a 3 to 4" inch hose that you need to put outside a window for the hot air to blow out. It comes with the hose and a window kit that is easy to put in the window so its secure and safe. You can take it on and off window at any time. Check Walmart Online for info. MIDEA PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER/ AND HEATER, if you need it for the winter. You'd save your gas from letting your van 0:01 . Sorry, just an idea for you. If I was staying in my van I'd sure get me one. Love y'all.❤🐕‍🦺🤗💜🙏 ❤

    Maybe you should consider a suggestion I saw a while back when you were building the inside. Someone had said to buy 4x4s post for the corners of your bed so it lifts it enough for you to slide storage in and out from under your bed. Glad you got a freezer. Good addition.

    Get ice cube trays for your freezer so you and Ruby will have when needed. At Walmart they have different sizes so they will fit your freezer. Be careful in this heat. Love yall. 🐕‍🦺💜🌹🤗🙏💜

    Amazon has a set of thermomiters (so one can be in the freezer, and one in the fridge) with a digital reader you keep outside the fridge/freezer. Really convenient to monitor them w/o having to open them.

    The heat has been horrible everywhere, more so the humidity. Way too hot to cook just keep drinking water. I enjoyed Ruby's vlog you are such a love to watch. Stay cool ❤ From Boston

    I used to make freeze pops for my dogs. Mix a bit of peanut butter, veg and apple chunks any thing into a paper cup. Freeze.
