first time truck camping in PA!! :) I hope yall enjoy todays episode❤️❤️
Wait whatever happened to the diesel heater?!
Where in PA was this? I only ask because I think you mentioned a link to where you stayed the second night.
I grew up in a little valley town in PA. Just curious if you were near my hometown. 😊
@@tonyaroche7733 I just linked it in the video description box!! I forgot too but that did it lol
@@LemonAndBeanCo cheap, broke on me so fast. I wanted a new one this winter but the one I want/NEED is very $$ and the company didn’t want to work with me sadly LOL and I didn’t save up enough money before the cold came so now i’m kinda stuck. not the most fun situation but i’ll be able to get the right diesel heater soon enough
I messed up the headliner in my van with the same heater. A fan helped circulate the hot air.
Hummus is a good alternative to cheese... lots of different flavors.
You should try adding a fireplace fan to your buddy heater. I use one religiously in my cargo conversion and it really helps spread the heat through out the space! Hook a 5gal paint roller strainer from Home Depot to the handles and set it over the heating element. Game changer!
Yes!!
I'm really not able to visualize your description. Why the paint roller grid thingy (strainer)as the buddy heater has a shield over the heating element 🤷🏾♀️. The fan part I get but not the other. Guess I'd have to see what you're describing.
@@JNantegoogle paint roller screen buddy heater hack and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’m a visual person so I’m not really sure how to better describe it! Most responses show boiling water or what have you, however I use a fireplace fan which helps push the air around my rig instead of just letting it go straight up to the ceiling area.
Make sure you have a window cracked while using the buddy heater, and think about getting a co2 alarm. Stay safe you two!
Hey Becca, I am dairy and gluten free. I know you are an amazing cook, so here is my FAST recipe for non-dairy cheese sauce (which would have gone great on your sandwich in this episode). You don't have to use all the spices if you don't have them...and adjust the water for thicker or thinner cheeze sauce. I had made this camping a bunch and it always seems to turn out. Love ya lady!
Fast Non-dairy cheeze sauce:
¼ cup vegan butter or butter
⅔ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
¾ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
⅔ cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh or bottled or even the powdered crystals
1 cup warm water (adjust for desired thickness) - add a bit at a time and stir well before adding more.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
Add the flour, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the melted butter.
Whisk until combined; the mixture will be crumbly.
Gradually whisk in the nutritional yeast until well mixed.
Slowly add the warm water while whisking continuously. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it appears too thick, add more water until you reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon juice for a tangy flavor that enhances the cheesy taste.
Use immediately over nachos, pasta, philly sandwiches, or steamed vegetables.
Enjoy!
Skye’s face at the waterfall! Pure joy in that beautiful smile. I love you guys and wish you all the best❤
@@pamelataylor412❤️❤️❤️
So glad Skye and you got a warm hotel you deserve it❤
I'm so glad I was able to go to a hotel before the weather got too extreme. It was a great way to ensure Skye was comfy! but i’m also glad we no longer have to do that :)
If you put a wood stove fan or even a small usb fan on-top of the buddy, you will be amazed how much warmer it gets and more evenly! It's a game changer
there is an accessory shelf just for that purpose of using a wood stove fan.
You need a fan to distribute the heat evenly. That's what I do works every time. Put the fan Behind the buddy heater on that shelf, and it'll distribute the heat everywhere It will stop it from going just up in the ceiling. Try it. It works like a dream.
Good call!
That shot of Skye sitting with the waterfall behind was Amazing!❤
I'm about 4 miles away. I know where you're camping. I hike up there all the time. It's fabulous.
the owner is super nice!!
Hey Becca, I haven't popped in in a while. You are a breath of fresh air. I agree that just because it's cold, it shouldn't prevent anyone from enjoying what nature gifts us. Give Skye a warm hug from me.
Becca, I can almost FEEL your smile and positive energy radiating through my phone! Just watching you and your sweet puppy makes me so happy! 💛
Welcome to Pennsylvania. Where you can get all 4 seasons in one day. Watch out for the potholes too. Welcome to Pennsylvania 😊
If you're still thinking about coming up to Canada, Lake Simcoe, 1hr north of Toronto is pretty good for ice fishing this year. It's also not as cold as Ottawa.
Skye loves to smile! She looks like she had a blast out in the snow and out by the waterfall, she seems to be hanging in there and seems so happy.
Welcome to PA! You were near my area. Glad you and Skye got a room for the night when it got too cold and happy you enjoyed your time while you were here!
I would HOPE that the new Buddy Heater at 18,000 BTU would heat your Project M camper. As long as you have the propane, yes it should work fine.....worse case....you can pull the top down and conserve heat......
Watching Skye playing and eating snow was awesome! Skye is definitely feeling better 🧡
Native Pennsylvanian here! It’s an underrated state imo. Welcome to the Commonwealth! Also hearing you mispronounce Jim Thorpe and Scranton was so funny! 😂
Right! I drove through Jim Thorpe this past week. We have some interesting town names in PA!
Thorpe is my family lastname 🤭🤷🏼♀️ It sends me when people mispronounce it also.
I agree. I’ve drove through the Pocono mountains before and WOAH they are so beautiful. I love all the small times I drove through in PA!
Nice to see you both feeling better and staying warm! Hugs from Canuckistan!
Loved the Van Wives plug. I am loving their Mexico build.
right?! i’m so excited to see how they do!
That big buddy heater is awesome! I have the same one and I see you have it turned up all the way so you must be really warm because I usually have it set to medium. I never have it turned all the way up because that thing is smoking hot when it’s turned all the way up to high.. It’s your workout. Just fine for you.
I have the mid sized Mr Heater Buddy. Been happy with it. If you use it with the long hose to the tank it is recommended to use the gasline filter. 😊
Hey as a Philly girl, your no-cheese-cheesesteak looks good, it's about the soul that went into making it! Also, PA is a beautiful state, Jim Thorpe is iconic.
I’m super jelly of your new heater! Nice job lighting it! 🙌 idk how you’re not cooking to death with it. I use the little red one (heater buddy) in my little cottage and it literally gets so hot I have to turn it off and I have 2 bedrooms. When it got super cold temps here in Kansas I wanted the bigger one like you have now. Super jelly and super happy for ya! Y’all are always in my prayers. 🙏🙌
Omg you are the sweetest friend in the entire world to shout out Roaming Reckless. Hope you and Skye are taking care in the cold! Coming from a fellow Minnesotan 🫶❤️
Bought a Four wheel camper back in December because of you Becca ever since I saw you with one I had to get one as well I take delivery of my Hawk model March 7th can't waite.
that’s so sick. you’ll love it!! the people at FWC are the best :)
@beccayaseen they walked me through everything very nice people
The big buddy works well in that cold weather …. The only thing that I would do differently is getting a 10 or 20 ld propane tank …. The 1 ld. Cylinder will get used up quickly …. It is cheaper to get the bigger tanks with the big Buddy conversion connectors to the Buddy unit .
I don’t use the 1lb, that’s for my cook stove top
I think he’s saying for the next time girl :) that way you’re not in a situation where you need to get a hotel. That way you need what you got & you’re prepared.
@@HughMadBro I thought you where using them as backup fuel for the Buddy heater . I keep a 10 ld. Cylinder for backup . and for propane stove .I found that disposing a 1 ld. Cylinder can be complicated . Putting out with the trash is not supposed to be legal . Unless you puncture the center and submerge in water .
I think that in the long run … it costs more for the 1 ld. Cylinders … since you can’t properly refill them .
Just a suggestion from my own experience .
I really enjoyed your videos ….. especially since I moved out of the States and only go back for camping in our camper for a few months out of the year . But am now considering selling it . We are concerned about the higher costs of living that will occur in the states and may not be worth it anymore .
We will reevaluate the situation in about 5 more years and see if it is worth going back to in the future in the states .
Where we live most of the time now is not popular for camping like the states . So , I get to enjoy others like yourself on your journeys …. From your videos .
We will miss it …..
Its always a pleasure Becca Y & Skye to see you both off on your adventures & enjoying yourselves wherever you both go. 🐕🐾🐾😁🇦🇺
Becca, we have two roughcut cabins in North Central Pennsylvania a little west of Susquehannock State Forest that has the most amazing camping spots, and a lot of dispersed camping as well. Waterfalls galore! Anything west of Route 15 is the best. If and when you have time, please please check out those areas (Elk State Forest, Hammersley Wild Area, Cherry Springs [Google Cherry Springs, you won’t regret it], Colton Point State Park, there is even a PA Grand Canyon, Quehanna Wild Area [LOADED with Elk], Moshannon State Forest, the list can go on…PA IS AMAZING!!!
I am a winter girl all the way! Also, a Golden dog mom to Chester - we love LOVE Skye!
Becca and sky and Kara and Nate collab would break the internet!
Kara & Nate are so hard to get in touch with 🤦🏼♀️ they’re so big it’s almost like you gotta pay to book to collaborate or hope they’re coming to your area & all that 👀🤷🏼♀️
Happy Becca is the best Becca.❤
Skye being the sneaky pup stealing sandwiches.😂
honestly, didn’t even get mad at her. she deserves it 😭 #gentleparenting
I'm in central Vermont and this winter, we're actually getting a real winter! The past 2 years, it's been fairly warm winter season. And I love my air fryer! Lol. That spot in PA looks beautiful. Stay safe!
i’m lovinggggg this real winter. FINALLY!
@beccayaseen lol! Yes, finally. Your heater would have had a good test in my area this morning. It was -16 around 3am! Lol
"Am I inspirational now? I don't know...maybe." 😂 I love your sense of humor, Becca. Thanks for another great video!
You telling us to get outside was the cutest and I agree I always joke that Im a husky because I love the cold. It was Beautiful there!🙌🏻❤
Get yourself 1 or 2 little fans and set/mount them up high to help push the rising warm air down. Keep the fan speed low and it will make an amazing difference regulating the temp in the camper. We've done this for years on our winter camping adventures.
man - i never comment on youtube videos. but this is the content im glad youtube is putting on our algorithm. preious pup, awesome truck build, and a great dinner. awesome watch, gained a subscriber out of me!
thank you!!! :)))
Ok, haven’t watched it yet and I think it will keep you *just warm enough*, but you’re gonna blow through propane. Please please stay safe out there, especially for that AMAZING doggo. Love her!
Please stay safe and warm, especially your dog. Love you guys 💗
she’s in good hands❤️
Jim Thorpe! Loved watching Skye in the snow.
Thoroughly enjoying, glad you and Sky are warm now and Sky’s energy is off the charts 😊🙏
Wow that shot with sky and that background was absolutely stunning
It will warm it up , here is what I would do in addition to the bigger heater, I would get some insulation boards and add them to the sides when it’s really cold out and then store them under your bed when not needed
I run a Big Buddy in my 100sq/ftplus ice hub camping at -25/30c and stay warm. Need to recirculate the warm air down, I use cheap 12v computer fan to push air back down. Works great.
You were in my area! Been camping by Hickory Run and Jim Thorpe for years. Great video.
Have you ever considered a small diesel heater. I LOVE mine! Used a buddy heater for years horse camping and it just couldn't keep us warm.
I know whats going on here, the little Puppy is the star of this show😊 and your secret weapon😂, Doggy just makes me happy for some reason.
You should consider a very small energy efficient fan directed at the Buddy heat to move that air around,preferably downward as heat obviously rises. Get the max efficiency from any heaters why they always have fans.
I love how you covered her paws . We all know that when the feet get cold, it's over😂
Hi Becca and Skye! Glad you stayed cosy and comfortable in the hotel. Don’t come to Alberta! We are -34C(-29F) and snowing! Stay safe and warm!❤❤❤
This was a fun one! 🙌🏼 Great to see Skye enjoying her new booties and waterfall adventure! Woooot!
Hey Becca yep when skye shivers yes time for a hotel ,bc you asked yes I think your heater will work fine bigger hopefully better🙏 God Bless❤
Look up on YT. How to cook on a buddy heater. Toast is a snap. Remove front grate and turn it upside down, then insert back in the heater. Great shelf for toast, canned goods.
Sky is such a happy girl. Adorable with the water fall and her playing in snow. Love all your videos. She needed that sandwich more than you 😂😂😂😂
I just subbed and by far worth it. Becca your content and editing are on par, but you're personality....huge.
Beautiful waterfall, glade you guys got a new heater & stayed warm. You picked a great spot for the night. ❤❤
Philly native here. Cook your cheese steak to your preferences. I like sweet relish and ketchup (heinz). 😊
That heater will heat your camper. The key is moving the air around with a fan or two. Otherwise the heat is going straight to the ceiling. Good Luck! Love your videos. 😂
It also makes a huge difference when you use the tiny tank and the big tank use the big 1 it works way better. Get everything out the way in case of fire.
Hey....just a buddy hack. if you remove the grill from the front of a buddy heater. Before you light it of course. It just pops off. Hook two of the curved legs under the handle. It lays out 90 degrees, above the heating elements. It's pretty sturdy and you can put a small pot on it and cook stuff. You know, backup plan for soup night. Always test it outside first, but it works great on mine
Your water pump most likely needs primed. Try sucking on the end while it is on and trying to suck water from the jug they sometimes get air pockets trapped inside.
I love seeing that Skye is doing so well. Eating your steak sandwich was the highlight of the vlog for me.
I think the heater will heat the truck but it will struggle. Considering your camper is a tent and you're in single digit temps, you may find that you'll use the old heater with the new.
Fingers crossed, I think the new, bigger heater will warm the truck. Sky looks like she is doing great.
That heater is absolutely amazing it works in my huge RV you will be so warm. My lab wouldn't be able to stay in that cold either honey. Take care❤
My parents are snowbirds and used Harvest Host on their way from Ottawa to Arizona, and they will on the way home as well. Sounds like such a good idea for everyone involved.
Walmart has their brand Ozark Trail 10,000 BTU portable propane heater for $59.00. It's solid and half the price of a Buddy Heater. Definitely recommend.
Skye loves the snow ❤
14:29 just love your cozy place ❤
One tip: put open glass of water in there somewhere corner of the truck when the gas heater on. Just for balancing humidity of inside the truck
I think your new heater will be good, you're in my prayers, stay safe and warm.
As you should probably us a filter for your heater - propane purity varies widely and impurities can build up gunk and effect performance
I live up by Scranton, PA, I can say there is in fact nothing besides ricketts glen state park but I dont think its open in the winter because of all the waterfalls! Love you sm!!
Love watching your videos. Love watching your fur baby running and getting excited. Wishing you all the best. Stay warm. Looks so darn cold. Travel somewhere warmer. 😊
Get a Eberspacher diesel cab heater if your truck is a diesel, because you can run it off your vehicles main fuel tank and they work really well. We had them on our Land Rover Defenders in Iceland , was warm at -40c
Hey Becca, I think the buddy heater will keep you warmer but I know it’s not the safest way to stay warm. Are you ever thinking about getting a diesel heater? I know there are more of a dry heat and it’s a safer way to stay warm. Thanks for sharing. Be safe out there.♥️🙏👍🐾
You should come to Erie PA lots of great fishing. Walleye and Perch are plentiful in our lake
Absolutely beautiful episode - Skye is living her best life ❤
2kw Amazon diesel heater that feeds from your main fuel tank is the best way! It’s done us for 5 years with no issues 👌🏻
I really feel like you should give the diesel heater another shot. Not one of the all in one style like you had. Or even get a Webasto gasoline heater and have it professionally installed so it’ll use fuel straight from your tank. You’ll never be cold again. I think it’d be much more enjoyable for you and skye. Also probably save money with not having to use nearly as much propane.
Yeah please make sure that you have some window cracked open and get a CO2 alarm.
I just watched a show and they were using the buddy heater and they did not crack the window open and one of the children had died.
But not only that but you got to clean that camper up it's so crammed in there
Lovely water fall.
Beautiful sun set
Little bit of free advice, check into a diesel heater. It’ll work better for you and it will provide better heat.
My Big Buddy has a battery fan in it.
The fan does help move the worm air.
Using the a 20# Propane tank, you will save a lot of money.
You cab also use it to fill the 1 pound cylinders.
The new Buddy should be plenty to keep you worm but you will fight condensation.
Check out Allegheny National Forest ! A lot of dispersed camping , some of which is on maps and some hidden ! Stay safe !
The right equipment (heater, clothes, etc.) make a difference. Thanks Becca for sharing your experience with us. But, negative 0 Fahrenheit is just plain cold. It's not a discussion.
This girl went to Yapper University for sure.
Looks like miss Sky Loves Snow, I pray 🙏 and hope for the best that everything works out for you two. I Love your shows ❤😊😊😊😊
Hope you can stay warm. I had to move out of mine 12/14/2024. It was 20°F I had an ear infection and said forget it.
Our heater went out during the winter storm and that buddy heater (18000) heated our whole downstairs (1500sqft) to a comfortable 70 degrees on $11 worth of propane. It was amazing. Those little propane bottles are so overpriced. A big cylinder is the way to go.
Great vlog Becca & Skye 🐶Your such a positive person even when life can bring us down sometimes. Hope to see you & Maria again in a future vlog, you guys are so funny. Enjoy seeing Skye 🐶Safe travels!!
SKY IS SO ADORABLE ☺️🤍🩷
maaaan i am so glad i found you through roaming reckless, YT is so vast that hidden gems go unnoticed ! Love the content !!
Becca, Mayo needs a fridge, butter don't.
Also, get yourself an O2 detector if your going to run a Buddy heater.
Thermal heaters with those Mr Heaters. I got a NortStar 850sc and StarCraft RoadStar on a Ram. Great video young lady! WaWa has some good comfort food too!
Wow, great views, and I love your adventures together!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Hi. I love winter camping. I grew up not too far from where you were at a place called Delaware Water Gap. Great hiking on the AT. I see you are using the Blue Rino tanks. You only get 15 lbs of propane in them. If you get them filled somewhere, you will get 20 lbs. Pretty important. That's 6 more hours of heat set on high. Oh. I use paper bowls instead of dishes. I learned to conserve water in the winter. I'm on my 12th year fulltime RVing on the east coast. I still love it. Safe travels. 🙂
Yes
LOVE LOVE LOVE your passion and joy! It’s contagious, and yes inspirational. Regarding the large water bottle, would sealing the opening help? Maybe covering the hole (with the pump inserted of course) will start the suction going. Eh, what do I know? Imagine if it does work though. I think you’re wonderful! God bless you!
Skye is so strong and such a fighter ❤always enjoy your adventures 😊
I am so liking this channel❤❤ staying warm is hard using these heaters, love cold weather fishing😊
Just get a good diesel heater, I have a 6x12 cargo trailer that I converted to a camper and it keeps my camper warm, I can’t even run it more than 40% power because it gets too hot. I have the LF Bros N2.
I live in a truck camper and heat my home with propane, I use my propane stove! you can get a heater that goes on top of a burner !also . I use a shower curtain rod and blanket along with some foam foil insulation
Sheets / boards,, to divide off part of the home leaving the kitchen bedroom to get warm and leaving the table and bath cold ..till morning or sometimes just leave it .( you can just roll them up when not needed . Cuts way down on propane cost! Plus i have 2_ 20 lb tank outside so i never run out ,so much cheaper too 👍i hate to freeze😱
