I must say. I am new to ur channel. But ur calm and sincere demeanor. Has made you my favourite youtube content creator now. I look forward to a new upload
The benefit of NOT putting it on your roof is we can sometimes put our rig in the shade & our panels in the sun…if your cords are long enough. I don’t know a lot about that but maybe something to consider.
Most of the comments below are very nice, but when people start telling her how to care for Ruby, I take exception. If you haven't figured out that Ruby is healthy and loved and cared for and is in no danger of heat exhaustion or anything else, then you are mistaken. I just wish she would make me a cheesburger, and I'd share a couple of pieces with Ruby. I bet I would be her favorite viewer lol.😊
My Google pants says, Gelato uses less cream and more milk than ice cream and typically contains no egg yolks or eggs at all. Gelato is served slightly warmer than American ice cream and is also churned at a slower rate, introducing less air into the product.
Thank you for explaining what gelato was. I never heard of it before I'm just an old southern girl over the hill on the way down. But not too old to learn something new everyday. Thanks again and take care
Rowan I have portable usb air conditioners in my apt and they really work! They are little! You put 1 quart of ice water in them and the fan blows the cold air. Love them. Love you both too!!!
Rowan I had an idea for the pans noise, Have you tried removing them and hanging Pot holders on the same hooks first? I think it would definitely soften the blow and quiet it down when they bounce.
First hang an oven mitt, then drop the measuring spoons or cups inside the mitt, then put the loop for it on top of the mitt loop on the hook. That way the measurers are totally muffled inside the mitt.
Hi 🤩!!! ThnQ for the 4 minute dip 😅. It was, indeed; refreshing. In my area, we have been experiencing HEAT WAVES; one after another - temperatures over 90 degrees up to 100 🥵🥵🥵 w/the HUMIDITY - JUST CRAZY!!! Ruby is acting like she's the one that took a dip 😂😂😂. TYFS. P.S. Gelato usually does not contain eggs, it's served warmer than Ice Cream & has less fat.
Hi Rowan! It looks like the PetSmart in Lakewood has "a few left" of the medium sized Green Pet cooling mat, and the Gig Harbor PetSmart has "a few left" of the large sized. We have one for our Labrador, cuz our campervan does not have built in air conditioning.
I have been living out of my Ford Escape and I found this system thru eco flo it is a heater and air conditioner together and it comes with a system to charge and another thing that you could hook to your van and it charges as you drive. The system is around 1300 dollars but I believe it’s worth it you and ruby stay cool😊
😅 Gelato, France translates to ice cream in Italian and actually the textures a little different.They use the less cream.Love your videos, just so sweet. Ruby .Gotta make sure you give her water lots of water
Hi , a good cooling tip is to put an ice block or frozen Ice bottle or in your case a bag of ice in a bowl add some water and salt to get it really cold in front of a fan at night it works. Put a towel under for the condensation.
My new favorite channel. I live in Tacoma, so right with you in the middle of this heat wave. It's so much fun to see you traveling around in all the places I'm so familiar with. Stay cool💜
Hi Rowan and Ruby I am in Tri-Cities, WA and right now we are at 104….due to meds I can’t be in the sun and/or get too hot. Something I do to help keep cool is to get a microfiber towel wet with cool water and wrap it around my neck, I use a small hair claw to clip it so it stays in place. It is night and day difference with my body temp. If you shred your carrots they will cook quicker. Can you show us the tattoo’s on your hand/wrist please? Please be careful with Ruby and the heat. Dogs overheat quicker than we do. Even a damp something on the floor can help cool her down and keep her cool. I love all of the natural beauty in the PNW! I can’t wait for the time when I can travel and take in everywhere I want to check out! Take care and be safe!
I don’t deal with the heat well, but your summer day looks so peaceful and not dealing with anyone’s bs at work (at a 9-5 ☹️but thankful) looks so awesome. Enjoy!! You are living my dream, thanks for taking me along. ☺️✌🏽💖
I'm a new viewer (Minnesota). I enjoy your positive spirit. I'll be watching you in your adventures. Be safe in your travels, and I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos ❤😊.
I love that you ate the flowers, made a nice impromptu meal, & that despite having just a small window of time, you just went for it rather than abandon the idea. Chocolate gelato…sounds refreshing in addition to that swim. 😝No sprinkles on ice cream. They’re like speed bumps for your tongue😳. A nice raspberry or blackberry topping or a wonderful caramel…now you’re talking. It’s wonderful to watch your channel! Looking forward to your cookbook.
I hate the heat which is why I moved to the Pacific NW. The nice part about living here is that even when we get those rare heat waves there are so many wonderful places to get cooler. I would have parked in the shade and had a really long cord to get my solar panel charging (not a fan of the sun at all. lol) Hope you and Ruby find lots of places and ways to stay cool until this passes. God bless!!!
Hi Rowan, I’m having hard time keeping maggy cool and it is hard to do deliveries because the car heats up so fast and parking lots do not have shade. Maggy is 12 years old and can’t handle the heat. I lost my RU-vid channel me and maggy because RU-vid did an update and somehow locked me out so I dusted another one. I have so much respect for all you get done as I now know living on the road is allot of work.
What a wonderful spot. Your rocking chair and your reading book would be perfect in that shade! The breeze looks heavenly 💨. The van looks amazing, great job!
The great news is Gelato has a lower fat % compared to ice cream and ice cream has egg yolks and cream whereas gelato is made with whole milk. Lovely to see you and The Rubes enjoying summer days and cooler evenings ❤
If Ruby pants excessively, you can pour cold water on her. Also have a towel that is cold ,and you can put it on her on and off. They calm down with the cool. In Philadelphia we call them Jimmies! Buen provecho!
I always am happy when I open up RU-vid and see that you’ve posted a new video. It’ll be 106 here today. I keep you and Ruby in my prayers every night and I’ll be looking forward to your live hopefully this Sunday. Your gelato looked incredible. I was going to post with the differences, but somebody above me already did that. I hope you’re having a great week, thank you! 🍓🍓
Park in the shade, put your panel in the sun and move your power station as close to shade as possible or cover top of station to keep heat off it. The whole point is you can stay in shade while your panel is in sun. I am in Portland and it is hot and I would not want my dog sitting in van in the sun. You can also throw a tarp over your van then put the panel on top. The tarp will keep your van much cooler
The old Texas woman is ready to move somewhere cooler and away from the coastline. You’ve been lots of places, in your opinion, what area is nicer than most, temperature wise? Wish I had your courage. You are so inspiring. Best R&R ever. Stay safe lady. Hug Ruby for me. Washington sure is pretty, Dodge City Van Life hikes there and shares some beautiful scenery with waterfalls.
I’ve never had Gelato before, but I think I deserve some……. I’ve been good. Well kind of…….. ok well, never mind ha!! I’m bedridden right now, so I’ll have to talk someone into getting me some 🫠😶🌫️🤗🥰 Stay safe & cool you 2 beautiful girlies 🩷🩷
Yeah, I live across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. We are definitely not used to these temps on the Olympic Peninsula! I actually live on the Kitsap peninsula that’s off of the Olympic Peninsula! lol Luckily we do get a nice breeze here in Sliverdale off of the Puget Sound! My sister lives in Tacoma. It’s so much busier over there. 😃
Beautiful area sorry it’s so hot for you and Ruby! Try to stay cool! Great idea on the solar pad! It’s been a hot summer in certain parts of the country! Enjoyed this video on your cooking! Hope your vans A/C helps a little! Ruby is a happy camper anyway! Your meal looks scrumptious! Enjoy and hope it cools down for you guys! 💕🤗🐾😎🐕❄️🧊🧊🧊
Thank you for the meal idea, looks delicious and healthy:) Something I would do to keep my chihuahua from overheating is pour some cool water over head. Blessings! 🦋
I love how Ruby's "hamburger" has grown with her😂 has anyone else noticed that your voice sounds like 'Ellen's' , except your cute giggle. I think you guys have the same accent😊
For Ruby go find a Butcher and get her some fresh bones that's what we give our puppy and he just turned 7 months old, will keep her busy and she will love them! ❤❤❤❤
Love your videos. Just started watching this morning and have watched a couple if them. Love the strawberry dish rags and the curtains you made very refreshing, natural.
I live in the U.P. of Michigan and it was about 74 today. The humidity made it seem a little bit warmer but I live on Lake Michigan so we get a constant breeze. I do not envy anyone that lives where it's so hot.
The tropical storm is forcing hot and humid thick air up to my state of S.C. that is already hot and humid. It was 94 today but feels like 101. It will still be 86 at 3AM. My poor air conditioner unit is the GOAT! Hope it cools off somewhat tomorrow. I need to mow! Thanks for vlogging your day with Rube's.
We just arrived in Greenville SC and it is HOT and humid. So grateful for a few days staying with friends. The van is so hot. Grateful for trees and shade. Lived in NM 19 years, much hotter and very few trees
Watching Ruby roll in that grass reminded me of foxtail weeds that can get lodged in dogs noses and can actually be fatal. Im only mentioning because Im not sure youre aware of them, although you seem to be knowledgeable about plants lol. But we love Ruby! ❤❤❤
Poor ruby so hot in the van. Just because we say its hot then it hotter for the dogs they have coats on. I do understand I wonder if ruby gets enough exercise. Stuck in tat van quite a bit?
@sandrapicciotto2508 It looks to me like they get out quite a bit for exercise and cooler weather... and she has fans, same as a lot of houses that dont have a/c. And she never leaves in the van alone during the day. I think most dogs and cats that live like this have better lives of fun, play and activity than most dogs that live in houses lol.
Have you had Ruby spayed yet? If not, you might want to start looking into low cost clinics (unless that’s already covered on your Banfield insurance plan). The last thing you need is having her go into heat on the road!
