When Elsa asked if it was "too Grandmaish" and Barron said "it doesn't matter, you made it by hand" melted my heart! The blanket is truly beautiful. True beauty doesn't know a trend or age.
Elsa, your crochet blanket for Kamp is GORGEOUS! As a fellow crochet crafter, don’t let the grandma stigma make you second guess such wonderful hard work! The patterns you pick for blankets are incredibly difficult and you do them so well ❤️
I agree also! Gorgeous blanket. Anyone would be thrilled to receive it as a gift. Enjoyed the video - love the energy and spirit you and Barron have. Also - Kamp is a hoot. Such a cutie.
"Not too Grandmaey?" "It doesn't matter. You made it by hand". One of the dearest exchanges I've ever heard between a couple. Your love and respect for eachother is so heartwarming and genuine. Thanks for everything you share but especially that. A lovely exchange for an Elsa and Barron Valentine share.
*Just a completely random stranger that wanted to express my admiration for Elsa’s endless creativity and skills.* *I have watched with a genuine mixture of awe and envy at what she comes up with and uses in so many different mediums, bravo!* 👏🏻
OMG! Kamp is just way too much ~ ADORE him!!! He is definitely like a human in a dog body and he is DEFINITELY devoted to you two and vise versa. So adorable!!! I love the way he really gets into snuggling up in his cocoon like blankies! What a dude And you two are great too - of course!
I love how wonderfully supportive and encouraging Barron is of Elsa. They have such good vibes as a couple and bounce off each other beautifully. (Also the blanket is amazeballs).
A few years back I was living in far reaches of the mountains of Northern California. I learned a great deal about a good many things from the local tribal people. One of them was their understanding of a major contributor of flavor in harvested meat. Basically, assuming no temp or storage issues, the meat changes flavor depending on the conditions of the kill. For instance, if a deer is hit by a car they would not typically harvest that meat for human consumption because the ph changes due to the high stress which reduces the lactic acid level needed to keep the meat tender and flavorful. Likewise, the cleaner the kill… the less alive time in which that stress effects the ph. But you already probably know all that. Grin.
I also understand that an Off shot not killing immediately makes for some rough taste. If they run, your flavor goes with'em. make it a clean shot if your hunting.
I loved that comment Elsa made ."this is what we'll look like when were old" as a 75 year old i can gaurantee it.no the blanket is not too grandmammy its fabulous.
I always felt like venison tasted like liver. Bloody. We let the deer carcass hang and followed all of the rules and talked to a processor who did hamburger and summer sausage for us, but we kept some big pieces to make jerky - we could never make enough of it no matter how many pounds we dried. We used to give it as Christmas presents and our family loved getting the venison jerky. We were the only ones who always got our tags AND went out to hunt. I'm not sure where you are in Colorado, but we would hunt in the Blanding, Utah area. Huge mule deer. Then one day IT happened: We didn't have enough freezer space so we kept the bulk of the deer meat at my in-laws who lived about 5 miles away from us. My mother-in-law didn't close the deep freeze all of the way. She wasn't sure how long it had been left opened but decided the meat was still frozen enough and just reclosed it. (I didn't find this out until later.) I went over to pick up a weeks worth of meat and decided that venison burgundy was on the menu that night as something special. After years of cooking venison and learning with onions, bacon, spices, etc... how to make it taste less gamey, thinly slicing a roast and making an amazing sauce is one way to make everyone love it. Even me. I'm lucky my babies took a late nap and I got to cook relatively unmolested - which thankfully meant my 3 daughters didn't taste the food while I was making dinner or eat theirs early as they usually did. By the time my husband got home from work, I had already been vomiting for quite some time. I had also called my mil to come and help because my littles were VERY young and couldn't be left unattended. I told them that it had to be food poisoning which was how we found out about the big freezer being left open. I ended up in the hospital for several days but that wasn't the worse part. We lost a huge part of the deer we literally were counting on to feed us for the next several months. The only positive thing is that I probably had 10 lbs of jerky done and maybe 10 more pounds of ground meat in our freezer that wasn't from the group of meat that had tried to kill me. Moral of the story: by the time it's getting warm there you may want to rig some type of alarm to tell you if your freezer ever gets above freezing. It's been nearly 30 years and I still remember those several days and seriously wanting to die. I certainly don't wish that on anyone else. I loved your adventure and getting lots of Kamp time. You have a REAL ski/boarder area close by! I'm so glad! Will this mean no more pulling each other behind the Subaru to get some snow boarding in? Barron, your mustach was epic! I hope you can find a better way to get your videos uploaded soon, but I could see with that breakfast neither of you were suffering too badly. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Elsa, Kamp will have the nicest afghan of any dog! The colors are so beautiful and it's huge and will be even bigger once you get 6 more inches on it. He's a very well loved fellow.
Making blankets and other crocheted/ knit crafts are so hard (the amount of energy and time, effort, ECT). I tried to make hats once with a friend and her grandma and I literally couldn't. Then there they are making blankets and socks and a whole star wars character set for presents for Christmas and birthdays. Honestly some of the best gifts I have ever gotten.
I'm old, guys. Had to watch the board segment several times so I could put myself right on that mountain with you. Thanks for the FUN!! I loved every minute of it. :-)
Camp says heck with this snowboarding stuff. His blanket is beautiful, I spend a lot of time spinning yarn, knitting, crochet and weaving. I love wearing things that I made from a ball of fluff. I would love to send you some handspun yarn.
What a great snow adventure! Loved your snow beard Barron, but looks like it hurt trying to remove the snow......ouch! Enjoy watching Kamp in the snow...what a trip he is....😂. Warm 🫂 🤗 🐕
We house trained a puppy during a winter in Minnesota. When we let her out into the backyard, she would disappear into the snow. Then we'd see steam coming up from the snow. She was done.
I simply loved this video! I’m actually working 12h a day during the night and seeing your day just make me much better. You guys are my influencers and with my 38 years old, 8h to 17h normal lifestyle with 2 kids and a wife it’s very nice to have some kind of heroes, hehehe. Keep on living well… Cheers from Portugal
Great video. I like the close look into your day. I can relate to how appreciative you are with your meat. My husband hunts every season to fill our freezer full of vension and has for years. We raised our children on venison. The taste doesn't compare to commercial store meat. One suggestion, tenderloin and back strap are the premium cuts, but on the tough cuts marinate the meat before cooking. I use fresh garlic, Japanese soy sauce, lite Kikkoman because I'm half Japanese and it's the best😄) and olive oil. Mix and the longer it sits the better. Use your cast iron, and baste with butter while cooking. Perfection! Deer Jerky is delicious and easy to make too. Really enjoy your sweet little family.
You guys are so amazing! ❄️ I’ve never seen a snow before, but this video made me experience snow and snowboarding! 🏂 Thank you and much love from the Philippines! ❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day!
You both are such an inspiration-- I know you're told that all the time but just know ppl like me envy the life you live!! Thanks for sharing it!!.. Hugs and much love to you three!!
I had the same gas “pumping” issue. Check to make sure your fuel line isn’t collapsed. It would take me a very long time to fill and I could only fill a small amount at a time before it would click off. I finally asked my mechanic and it was a very simple fix!! I was so relived and it made pumping gas so much less stressful! Good luck.
You really should auction that beautiful blanket, I’m sure Kamp wouldn’t mind because it shows how clever his Mama is lol Could you give him a voice again like when he got lost and he was scared in the river. I love to hear him ‘talk’. Great video guys ♥️👍
Your EVAP vent valve is likely causing the slow fueling problem. You may have damaged it by overfilling the tank in the past. Once it's repaired, never add gas after the pump clicks off.
This video was the best - I laughed so hard, but feeling your pain at the same time. You guys are the best. As a fellow crocheter who is not a grandma, I love watching your work. The mandala blankets are very NOT grandma-y. Just gorgeous.
🦌 I'm in Arkansas where near me is plentiful and one of the best ways I've found to cook deer meat is to get Zesty Italian dressing and let the deer meat marinate in it for like an hour in the fridge or snow whatever and then don't rinse it off dip it in flour salt and pepper and then fry it and it taste wonderful and it gets rid of the game taste especially if you slice it in thin slices
That looked like so much fun! Barron looked like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph! I really enjoyed this video it was a lot of fun. Keep them coming. See you in the next one
Enjoyed the virtual ride down the slopes! I'm a granny and your crochet is simply put a BEAUTIFUL work of art! It's therapeutical for me! Love your enthusiasm for adventure and life!
Elsa, “I never knew I had hair on my upper lip”…I’m 75; hubby 81. I always told him that when my mustache got better than his I was leaving. I’m right there, lol. Problem is we’re both so old nobody else will have us. The good news is our eyes can’t always see the extra hair and wrinkles. Thank God we can still drive 😁. We’ve been married 56 years and are used to each other so we’ve decided to stick it out to the bitter/better end. Hugs to Camp. Take care.
😂“You can think whatever you want, but that’s what happened.” 😂🤣 “This is what we’ll look like when we’re old” 😂😂 Scamp in the snow drift… 🤣 Thanks for the giggles! Good for my heart ❤️. And your blanket is stunning, Elsa!
Honestly the best steak I ever had was Elk. I've had white tail and bison along with beef. Elk topped them all. Granted it was farm raised Elk so I don't know exactly what their feed program was.
When I was a teenager, we used to go camping with friends. We had nothing but Canvas tents shovels and axes. We used to go out in 25 to 30 inches of snow. Packing up food and drinks for three or four days and tougher out. 15 inches of snow isn’t crap
Love the blanket. I knit but never got the hang of crochet .. on you comment that this is what we will look like when we get old … I swear it happens overnight we were you age and turned around twice and now I’m 68 and hubs is 76 and I still don’t know how it happened so fast 😉. Often say we wish there was snowboarding when we were skiing we would have loved it.. but it started just after we were done .. enjoyed the adventure with you .. oh and when you are processing your own meat .. be sure to take all fat and silver off .. we swear that’s where the gaminess came from
I am terrible on social media. I’m an old mom of a teen. We started watching your adventures in the pandemic quarantine. You guys are awesome! Now I am starting to love the outdoors and my kid loves to go camping! Thanks for putting your lives on screen so we can live vicariously through you!!
We got 18 inches of snow a few weeks ago. I have corgis and while they LOVE snow, we had to dig trails for them for bathroom purposes lol. Fun video today!
I work in finance, having to think non stop everyday every second until I sleep... I've been enjoying your guys' videos for almost 2 years now, every night before going to bed and morning while brushing my teeth or grabbing a quick bite. I really enjoy these types of videos you guys make with just random conversations you guys have. It's quite nice, not necessarily focusing on a topic but just chatting. I think this one and all your winter series and the rainy day one with Vance riptide cover song are my all time youtube favorites. It really feels like I'm chilling in the scamp 😌 Thanks for the great uploads as always! Honestly, your guys' uploads are my highlight of my day.
My daughter just started crocheting about 6 months ago and she gave me her very first Afghan she made which I love and she gave me another new one for Christmas and I adore them. I know the work that went into them so they are priceless to me and very sentimental. I love your dog such a cutie pie. You're crocheting is masterful! Great video I will sub. ‼️😊💞🐕💕
Skiing in powder I agree is definitely hard if you've never done it before. I moved to Montana August 2021 and my first time going here was on December 22, 2021 for this season - regular snow skiing, (I don't snowboard ) yet., I've snow skied 50 years of my life but never in powder. I've always skied on groomed hard packed snow. So I went up to my local ski resort Teton Pass, here in Montana and there was about four to five feet of powder. I had to give up after a couple hours. I kept falling. I kept thinking did I forget how to ski. It didn't realize to me till my drive home I'm like that was deep stuff. I then googled when I got home is there a different technique to ski in powder than regular groomed snow and for sure there's definitely a whole different way of skiing. Plus recommended wider skis and so on. I've gone two times since that day( actually yesterday )I went and it was amazing, never fell once ,went down the slopes and trails 20 to 30 times. I skied for about 5 hours. I love snow skiing. Next time I go there I am going to try to learn how to snowboard . Definitely just buy a magic carpet ride , the beginner slope to try and learn. I have always wanted to try snowboarding. It looks like so much fun. I'm so happy I moved and retired here so that I can go snow skiing as much as I want during the season. We have a window from December through April that we can ski here. I'm glad you guys are out enjoying a sport that you love. I can so relate. It's like no other. It's so fun. And I'm 62 years old. I plan on keep on skiing until I can't no more LOL. I enjoy and love watching your videos. Kamp is so darn cute ❤️
You may make your own fire starters. You need a sacrificial pot, one not used for anything else, a bag of cotton balls, a jar of Vaseline. Melt vaseline in pot, dip cotton balls in melted vaseline, dry on wax paper, start fire! TaDa! Gaminess in venison is a product of what they eat. Super tasty if you hunt in the fall near farm land. Deer glean the fields at night.
What a fun day skiing down that Mt.☺️ That Deer steak looked soo tasty. Everything is better using cast iron. Your blanket is soooooo pretty! Awesome content. Thanks so much. This was just loaded with life. Loved it!🙋♀️☺️
When preparing our mule deer meat that is not those choice pieces you refer too, (back strap, etc), we find they get extra-melt-in-your-mouth tender by cooking them in the crock pot; usually make a thick stew. It will blow you away by how tender. (We first slightly brown the pieces, lightly coated in flour, in cast iron). Add the carrots, celery, onion & potatoes, along with browned meat and water, to crock pot or large pot you can slow cook in, and a cook until everything is so tender. You can add a packet of “stew” seasoning or season with your own concoction of seasonings. You guys will get the hang of venison cooking. Just keep trying! It’s all good!
Snowboarding looks SO FUN! Love watching you guys. Idea for podcast discussion: continuing filming and posting to UA-cam when you have kids? I have been a bit worried you guys won't post videos when you have kids because of privacy/judgment/all of the above... Care to share your thoughts in a podcast or future video?
You could add 1/4 arcs in the same pattern as the circle on the 4 sides to make the throw square and finish it with a few rows of your favorite rows from the circle. It would then be a medallion afghan.
Loved watching you snowboard. Brought back so many memories of my childhood ski trips. Can’t do it anymore but it’s fun watching while I’m under some warm blankets sipping my hot tea. 💕
@@weavingrainbow9063 Elsa does as well. She was one of the first people I ever heard mention it. I have it too, but had never heard of it before that. Girl in the woods may have it too. It seems more common among women and women with neurodivergencies, as many of the best creators on UA-cam are.
Elsa, you are so talented from your crocheting, to your journaling, your leather work and your drawings. I love everything you do. You and Baron make a great team. Love watching your channel.
I love your relationship dynamic and how well you two seem to work together. It would be really cool to see an updated video talking about relationships and how you two cope with disagreements if you have time.
So happy to see the epic powder adventure. Keep doing it, powder is flying is heaven. Just takes some spills. Super fun vid guys. You make me feel my dog needs a blanket, lol.
I guess because I live in a snowy place, and we got over 20” a week or so ago, and expect 200” a season… it sounds like not so much snow…and a lot of preparation! But we live ready for snow!
What you could try, is thaw out your steaks then put them in A salt Brin for about 12 Hours in your camper. Then rinse those bad boys off and throw em in the skillet . They'll be a lot more tender this way. 🙂
To Baron’s question about the “gamey” reputation of venison, it is because some processors do not cut out the fat. Deer fat is nothing like beef fat and leaves almost a coating of wax on your teeth and tastes very gamey. If you process your own in the future, be sure to cut out the venison fat and add beef or pork fat into your ground meat if you want a higher fat content for burger meat.
So at the end of ur video Barron you said that you are so ballast to have the meat that ya'll were eating. Please believe me when I say WE ARE blessed to have ya'll as part of our family . Lov ya'll. Tony and Dee.
Just leaving a comment
Too.
No comment.
Your both completely mad zooming all over those snow covered mountains haha!! Looks Like Fun tho lol 🥰🥰
@@iraynalee3570 good lord your so chatty ...I thought this was the say nothing section. crap...forget I said that
Jus leaving, BYE! Sharon!
When Elsa asked if it was "too Grandmaish" and Barron said "it doesn't matter, you made it by hand" melted my heart! The blanket is truly beautiful. True beauty doesn't know a trend or age.
Absolutely...indeed...agree,
100%!!!!!!!
YES!! Wish someone loved & respected me like that. What personal regard for her creativity.
My heart melted 😩🥰😍
Elsa, your crochet blanket for Kamp is GORGEOUS! As a fellow crochet crafter, don’t let the grandma stigma make you second guess such wonderful hard work! The patterns you pick for blankets are incredibly difficult and you do them so well ❤️
I totally agree very beautiful well done Elsa
Looks like Mandala Madness. If so it is super difficult because I have one as well.
I agree also! Gorgeous blanket. Anyone would be thrilled to receive it as a gift.
Enjoyed the video - love the energy and spirit you and Barron have. Also - Kamp is a hoot. Such a cutie.
Love the blanket, did you follow the tutorial on you tube? That’s how I made mine I made the Sophie blanket, do much fun
She's so talented.
"Not too Grandmaey?" "It doesn't matter. You made it by hand". One of the dearest exchanges I've ever heard between a couple. Your love and respect for eachother is so heartwarming and genuine.

Elsa, the afghan you’re crocheting is absolutely gorgeous! 😳
'I spent months crocheting this blanket.... for the dog.'
You guys are my kind of people.
Lucky Kampers! Happy dog!
I like very much when Elsa & Barron make jokes to each other, laughing and enjoying life!!! Great video
OMG! Kamp is just way too much ~ ADORE him!!! He is definitely like a human in a dog body and he is DEFINITELY devoted to you two and vise versa. So adorable!!! I love the way he really gets into snuggling up in his cocoon like blankies! What a dude And you two are great too - of course!
I aspire to be as grumpy and crotchety as Kamp. I’m not a dog person, but week after week, watching him give no farks is a highlight of my week
@UCjX9km03m-1mwDyhQVAeo5A not bloody likely, but he’s a character, that’s for sure
I love how wonderfully supportive and encouraging Barron is of Elsa.

Pls keep sharing such wonderful knowledge. Some of us are really dump!
Gaminess also largely comes from what the animal eats. Domesticated farm animals mostly eat corn and grains which makes the meat taste mild.
I also understand that an Off shot not killing immediately makes for some rough taste. If they run, your flavor goes with'em. make it a clean shot if your hunting.
I find it interesting that no one applies that same logic to the domesticated animals we consume (in regards to the high stress).
I loved that comment Elsa made ."this is what we'll look like when were old" as a 75 year old i can gaurantee it.no the blanket is not too grandmammy its fabulous.

This is an awsome video...especially the part about being on "the driveway to hell"! Loved watching Kamp🐾
Barron- very sweet that you said “ it doesn’t matter that it looks like a grandma blanket, you made it”
As always, Elsa is AHEAD of her time, granny-wise.

I knit but never got the hang of crochet .. on you comment that this is what we will look like when we get old … I swear it happens overnight we were you age and turned around twice and now I’m 68 and hubs is 76 and I still don’t know how it happened so fast 😉. Often say we wish there was snowboarding when we were skiing we would have loved it.. but it started just after we were done .. enjoyed the adventure with you .. oh and when you are processing your own meat .. be sure to take all fat and silver off .. we swear that’s where the gaminess came from
When Barron was "cooking in the snow" lol.
Have y'all explored that rock formation behind him?
That looks so cool to explore?
I am terrible on social media. I’m an old mom of a teen. We started watching your adventures in the pandemic quarantine. You guys are awesome! Now I am starting to love the outdoors and my kid loves to go camping! Thanks for putting your lives on screen so we can live vicariously through you!!
Glad I'm not the only one who wakes up their partner with fun facts about animals :D
Us too! ❤️
Flip the gas nozzle upside down when filling. Works for me
Yes! Best trick ever!
Love the music when your cooking lol
Kamp is the most adorable dog i've ever seen, always makes me break out in laughs xD
We got 18 inches of snow a few weeks ago. I have corgis and while they LOVE snow, we had to dig trails for them for bathroom purposes lol. Fun video today!
I work in finance, having to think non stop everyday every second until I sleep... I've been enjoying your guys' videos for almost 2 years now, every night before going to bed and morning while brushing my teeth or grabbing a quick bite. I really enjoy these types of videos you guys make with just random conversations you guys have. It's quite nice, not necessarily focusing on a topic but just chatting. I think this one and all your winter series and the rainy day one with Vance riptide cover song are my all time youtube favorites. It really feels like I'm chilling in the scamp 😌 Thanks for the great uploads as always! Honestly, your guys' uploads are my highlight of my day.
Elsa your face just glows with the anticipation of snowboarding. Its precious.
My daughter just started crocheting about 6 months ago and she gave me her very first Afghan she made which I love and she gave me another new one for Christmas and I adore them. I know the work that went into them so they are priceless to me and very sentimental. I love your dog such a cutie pie. You're crocheting is masterful! Great video I will sub. ‼️😊💞🐕💕
Woot! ❄️ SNOW. Your vid’s are so fun, and your podcasts are very informative. I love watching your homesteading progress. 💓
So fun seeing you snowboarding. The ice and snow collecting on your face and hair - wow. Beautiful blanket. I really enjoy you three.
The blanket is beautiful! Kamp loving it brings me so much joy!
Skiing in powder I agree is definitely hard if you've never done it before. I moved to Montana August 2021 and my first time going here was on December 22, 2021 for this season - regular snow skiing, (I don't snowboard ) yet., I've snow skied 50 years of my life but never in powder. I've always skied on groomed hard packed snow. So I went up to my local ski resort Teton Pass, here in Montana and there was about four to five feet of powder. I had to give up after a couple hours. I kept falling. I kept thinking did I forget how to ski. It didn't realize to me till my drive home I'm like that was deep stuff. I then googled when I got home is there a different technique to ski in powder than regular groomed snow and for sure there's definitely a whole different way of skiing. Plus recommended wider skis and so on. I've gone two times since that day( actually yesterday )I went and it was amazing, never fell once ,went down the slopes and trails 20 to 30 times. I skied for about 5 hours. I love snow skiing. Next time I go there I am going to try to learn how to snowboard . Definitely just buy a magic carpet ride , the beginner slope to try and learn. I have always wanted to try snowboarding. It looks like so much fun. I'm so happy I moved and retired here so that I can go snow skiing as much as I want during the season. We have a window from December through April that we can ski here. I'm glad you guys are out enjoying a sport that you love. I can so relate. It's like no other. It's so fun. And I'm 62 years old. I plan on keep on skiing until I can't no more LOL. I enjoy and love watching your videos. Kamp is so darn cute ❤️
You may make your own fire starters. You need a sacrificial pot, one not used for anything else, a bag of cotton balls, a jar of Vaseline. Melt vaseline in pot, dip cotton balls in melted vaseline, dry on wax paper, start fire! TaDa!
Gaminess in venison is a product of what they eat. Super tasty if you hunt in the fall near farm land. Deer glean the fields at night.
What a fun day skiing down that Mt.☺️ That Deer steak looked soo tasty. Everything is better using cast iron. Your blanket is soooooo pretty! Awesome content. Thanks so much. This was just loaded with life. Loved it!🙋♀️☺️
100% agree
When preparing our mule deer meat that is not those choice pieces you refer too, (back strap, etc), we find they get extra-melt-in-your-mouth tender by cooking them in the crock pot; usually make a thick stew. It will blow you away by how tender. (We first slightly brown the pieces, lightly coated in flour, in cast iron). Add the carrots, celery, onion & potatoes, along with browned meat and water, to crock pot or large pot you can slow cook in, and a cook until everything is so tender. You can add a packet of “stew” seasoning or season with your own concoction of seasonings. You guys will get the hang of venison cooking. Just keep trying! It’s all good!
Snowboarding looks SO FUN! Love watching you guys. Idea for podcast discussion: continuing filming and posting to UA-cam when you have kids? I have been a bit worried you guys won't post videos when you have kids because of privacy/judgment/all of the above... Care to share your thoughts in a podcast or future video?
You could add 1/4 arcs in the same pattern as the circle on the 4 sides to make the throw square and finish it with a few rows of your favorite rows from the circle. It would then be a medallion afghan.
As a fellow crocheter, that is a gorgeous blanket. I'd put it up on the wall in your new home. First piece of wall art, done! Boom! lol
Loved watching you snowboard. Brought back so many memories of my childhood ski trips. Can’t do it anymore but it’s fun watching while I’m under some warm blankets sipping my hot tea. 💕
Gorgeous views of the snowy mountains!!!
Barron, "Not too Grandmawey!" 😂 Beautiful craftsmanship, Elsa.
I love the backround music you use while Barron was cooking the steak!!
Because of Elsa I am determined to learn to crochet so I can make a blanket like hers. I love it so much. 🤪
How on earth are you doing all that snowboarding with Raynauds? I could never.
Way to go Elsa and Baron!
And every time she takes her gloves off outside in the snow it hurts me LOL
I only survived with a TON of hot hands
Isn't it another UA-camr that has Raynauds? I don't remember who, maybe the woman in "Girl In The Woods"?
@@weavingrainbow9063 Elsa does as well.
She was one of the first people I ever heard mention it. I have it too, but had never heard of it before that.
Girl in the woods may have it too. It seems more common among women and women with neurodivergencies, as many of the best creators on UA-cam are.
@@skateranddancer ah ok, I may have heard her and others mention it awhile ago..
Have you guys thought of building a deck-style “bay” for the scamp? Kind of “L” shaped and the scamp backs right up to both sides.
Poor Kamp looked so put upon the entire video. lol! "The things I do for my hoomans!"
Elsa, you are so talented from your crocheting, to your journaling, your leather work and your drawings. I love everything you do. You and Baron make a great team. Love watching your channel.
So happy to see you guys twice a week. I miss you when you’re “gone”. 🙂
Me, too!
I love it when Scamp “talks”. More Scamp, more Scamp. Another great video guys well done
All due respect! It is 18 degrees inNYC and here I sit in my nice warm house.
Kamp looked tiny curled up between you guys. Can you share your crochet pattern? It's gorgeous and definitely NOT grandma-ish.
Kamp is so spoiled! So cute. Like my cat, loves the human mommy!
You both seem really content and challenged with the life you have created. Happy for you both, I have enjoyed being part of your life as it has grown
I love your relationship dynamic and how well you two seem to work together. It would be really cool to see an updated video talking about relationships and how you two cope with disagreements if you have time.
So happy to see the epic powder adventure. Keep doing it, powder is flying is heaven. Just takes some spills. Super fun vid guys. You make me feel my dog needs a blanket, lol.
awesome video guys! Wow, so much snow and the views are incredible. All that ice on the face, must've been nice hahaha Also, the blanket is BEAUTIFUL!
I guess because I live in a snowy place, and we got over 20” a week or so ago, and expect 200” a season… it sounds like not so much snow…and a lot of preparation! But we live ready for snow!
What you could try, is thaw out your steaks then put them in A salt Brin for about 12 Hours in your camper. Then rinse those bad boys off and throw em in the skillet . They'll be a lot more tender this way. 🙂
Winter is awesome! Cheers Elsa, Barron and Kamp!!
Elsa that blanket is GORGEOUS! Well done woman!
re: fuel tank fill up...and shutting off. Ours does this too. Don't put the nozzle in all the way and then it doesn't shut off so often.
What a blast! You two look fantastic covered in snow!
Loving the podcast.
That blanket is absolutely beautiful!! Just think of how cool it will look in your new home eventually :)
To Baron’s question about the “gamey” reputation of venison, it is because some processors do not cut out the fat. Deer fat is nothing like beef fat and leaves almost a coating of wax on your teeth and tastes very gamey. If you process your own in the future, be sure to cut out the venison fat and add beef or pork fat into your ground meat if you want a higher fat content for burger meat.
Elsa your blanket is beautiful, just like you!!! You truly are glowing with happiness and it is beautiful to watch!!!
So at the end of ur video Barron you said that you are so ballast to have the meat that ya'll were eating. Please believe me when I say WE ARE blessed to have ya'll as part of our family . Lov ya'll. Tony and Dee.
I like that you don’t hide your emotions and you’re real. Thanks
