  • WE MOVED OFF-GRID IN THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS. Living at 9800 feet makes us want to catch our breath. In this video, we arrive to our home for the summer, a beautiful national forest high in the Collegiate Peaks mountain range of Colorado.

    OMG
    I don’t usually read the comment section.
    I’m 61, a life long service industry employee and well aware of the 10% of the population, completely miserable in their own existence.
    I feel sorry for them
    They deserve pity 😢
    My husband and I have watched your channel from the beginning. ( we refer to you as “the girls”
    As in, “The girls have a new video today.”)
    We are in your cheering section.
    You have been an inspiration in our own journey
    ( we are hitting the road full time wed!)
    I know I’m not supposed to give trolls their life blood by responding so I won’t mention the gross unfortunate comments made by
    fellow “humans”
    Just happy thoughts on how great you guys are!!
    How you bring joy to real humans all over the place!!
    Keep it up
    Don’t stop
    Get it
    Get it
    Don’t stop
    😎❤️😉😁
    Thank you for being a source of good in the world

    The worst part about our treck to the badlands last year was dealing with the dang ice cooler. It was awful. I couldn’t imagine doing that for months. I’m trying to convince wifey to do another Colorado road-trip this summer since we’re both teachers but we gotta replace the roof. Adulting SUCKS. I hope y’all like your new job. I know it’s tough at times but you’re legit living my dream right now. I want to be a full-time truck cramper content creator. Right now, i’m settling for lifestyle vlogger but I’ll get there. One of my OG subscribers lives in denver and just bought a camper. I recommend your channel to her! Amber should start a wood splitting tiktok, apparently it’s popular with the ladies, Put careless whisper for the sound and Giulietta will have to beat them off with a stick.😂

    I moved from Florida to Alamogordo, New Mexico. We came through Ruidoso at 7000+ ft above sea level. As soon as I got out of the car and walked to the bathroom, I nearly blacked out. Where we live is 4000+ ft above sea level. For 3 weeks I had trouble breathing. You have to take it slow. Don't talk too much at one time. Use the oxygen in the can. You may recover faster than me since I'm 67 yrs old. Nice campground. The snow is amazing. Be careful of Fires. We have 2 fires, one in Ruidoso and one near Cloud Croft. Stay safe & enjoy!❤❤

Be sure you get a shady spot. Give yourself a week to adjust to the altitude!! Coffee helps. Maybe you guys can obtain a pallet to stand on for your shower.

    Loved this one. Good thing about Colorado - in the Spring and Summer at least, it will snow but because we're so much closer to the sun, the snow will melt in a day or two. Pretty sure you can sharpen an axe on the same type of stone you would use on a knife. You can get them at Walmart if you end up doing a grocery run every couple of weeks or so. Love your site. Yay!

    • @honeyiroam

    What an AWESOME camping / working experience this is going to be! What a beautiful area to spend so much time in. Get your fishing poles ready for that stream by you, must be some nice trout in it! I would also do some research on any gold panning in that stream, might be a little bonus! Anxious awaiting your next video! Be safe out there. Also keep an eye on Winston with Moose in the area, as Moose see dogs as a major threat (as in Wolves / Coyotes), and will try and stomp them before bothering humans!

  • @adventureshark631
    @adventureshark631 4 місяці тому

    I would put a filter on the water from the creek, even just a RV water filter. And then get some of that crosshatch squares to use as a shower floor. and a cheap chair. Othewise, I thought the ice tent was a great find. and think about one of those cheap washers so you can do clothes and then cut your laundry to every two weeks.

Beware of altitude. It can cause many crazy things. You will be surprised how quick your lungs adjust to the altitude.

  • @Marie-ll2df

    Your videos and adventures are truly enjoyable. I love the camp sites and places you discover. There's just one aspect that's a bit off the mark - your food choices and recipes. Given your journey began due to an autoimmune issue, it seems like there should have been a connection between the animal and dairy products and the truly unhealthy foods and your health. Since so much of your content features you cooking and eating, it feels like there has been a missed opportunity to explore healthier, greener living. I've come across two other couples, Vanwives and Ride And Seek, who seem to live such a healthy lifestyle with traveling and it's so inspirational. I hope to see some of this in the future for you.

    When I lived in Colorado I helped a couple friends log beetle killed trees starting in Spring. I loved how I didn't need a cooler for my drinks or food. It was so gorgeous in Colorado. I'm a FL girl (Miami) too. And was never landlocked before. I didn't mind being landlocked there as the views are so stunning and like nowhere else.

There's just one aspect that's a bit challenging to watch-your food choices. Given your journey began due to an autoimmune issue, it seems like there might have been a connection between the animal and dairy products, unhealthy foods, alcohol, and a healthier way of living. Since so much of your content features you cooking and eating, it feels like there's a missed opportunity to explore greener, more earth-friendly, healthier-for-your-body options. I've come across two other couples, Vanwives and Ride And Seek, who are very well-received, who seem to have such healthy lives. It might be worthwhile to take a look at their approach to cooking on the road as it's inspiring.

Sorry for the ramble, just so excited for you all. I live in Denver and I think the weather is finally turning nice (mountain wise). So cool that you all are in CO for your camp job!

So different out here. fires are discouraged in the summer and guest can’t harvest wood from the park. It’s food for the other trees. The generator is loud enough.... Are you sure you can’t depend on the solar panels or add a second battery? Just saying....
