Unexpected Snow Storm Living In A Truck Camper- Did We Finally Learn Our Lesson? 

Our dog loved the snow! She was a 7 lb Morky (Maltese+Yorky) she would make tunnels when it was over a foot deep. She was only 10” tall. She’d eat the snow. After awhile she would get snow clumps in her pads and tops of her paws. She would stop and look back at you, with that face, Please Help me! So I would go over and pick her up, take her over to a little heater I had plugged into the outside receptacle and melt the snow balls. I’d dry her paws and let her go. Right back into the snow, until it happened again. I miss that. Thanks for the memories. She passed 11 yrs ago due to cancer in 2013. She was 11 yrs old. Born on Presidents Day Feb 12th 2002.

I use a Gethercovered Windshield and side window cover. It even covers your side mirrors and wipers. I use it when snow, low temps in the 30’s to avoid heavy frost and a hack is to cut pool noodles a little shorter than the vertical width of your windshield and put them on the window and put the cover over to protect from predicted hail. It is pretty hefty material. Check it out you won’t be sorry. We’ll worth the $50 I paid for mine. It is 6 yrs old. Looks brand new. I use it all winter and spring when it hails.

Barkley is a great dog! Love watching him enjoy the snow!

Tires make all the difference in the snow ! I love the bfg a.t. they grab and clean out well, they are quite and wear like iron!

News, we just get a local weather app and use that for weather and severe weather alerts at night. You can set it for tornados, Forest fires, hurricanes etc and specifically for the county you are in. So you can’t say you can’t get the news and weather in a truck camper.

If your going to be driving under 25mph. Don’t forget to use your non slip axle differential lock outs, (if you have the option), so both your wheels are pulling together in the slippery conditions. You should not use it at high speeds ( over 30 mph max I think )

OMGosh! Chai latte with oatmilk is my favorite! Don't forget to ask them to add a little cinnamon. As for the tires we ended up going with BFG KO2 and so far we really love them. I've heard since the sidewall is a little softer we might not get as many miles out of them but I don't mind since we added 2 more leaf springs to our pack. I know you love the snow but we're sitting over here (WA.) praying for spring to hurry up and get here. LoL!! Barkley should be good to go after the vet. If there is any issues with his teeth he'll feel much better once they're taken care of. Probably only need a day of rest for your sweetie! Thanks for taking us along again. Cheers! ~M

Barkley was probably an Eskimo dog in his former life 😊 I've never seen a dog eat snow so much! What a cutie!

Hermit Park was one of the first places we took our RV. I recognize the pull through spot right next to you. Frosty there last October. A great hike there to an spot overlooking Estes Park.

A couple thoughts, if you are staying in Colorado for awhile, be prepared for a few more snows. We aren't finished yet. Second, Estes Park is fascinating in the fall. The elk just roam the streets. It is wild.❤

At 19:58 they were pulling taffy. Just make sure to go to the Taffy pulling contest at St Peter’s Church and not a Peter pulling contest and St Taffy’s! LOL!

I grew up near Estes and it's a great place for people who love winter activities. The shopping is the same type of stuff that tourists want buy, although there are a few good shops with unique items. I like Grand Lake better myself, but in the winter, it's not great shopping. Breck has the best shopping and some great food, even in the winter. Hopefully, winter is winding down now. I said a prayer for Barkley and hope everything goes well.

You guys find the most beautiful places to camp. And you always pick the perfect music to go along with the views. Wonderful episode.

They make small NOAA (Noah) Weather radios that you can have in your RV that are a constant loop of what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is saying about local weather. My parents had one in their RV and lived by it. I don't because I snowbird out of snowy areas when I RV.

Dinner looks scrumptious, I made something similar and I used a mango habanero sweet chili Thai sauce. I enhanced the shrimp with shredded toasted coconut. It was tasty! Try toasted coconut on any Asian dish.

Our family has gone up to Estes Park, CO at least once a year for well over 30 years. But haven't been back since COVID because of all the rules and needing reservations to get into the park. That took the fun out of it. Safe travels..............

I would buy little items that said where we were and use them on our Christmas tree as ornaments from our travels

Thank you for another great video. Blessings to you all . Wishing Barkley the best for a speedy recovery after his dental work. Looking forward to hearing how he is. ❤

Hi guys…….surprise! Happy Spring!…do you have a weather radio cube? Including traveling with cats? We love going to different stores. Be safe!

Excellent video 📹 👏. The scenery is breathtaking. See you on the next one adventurers ❤❤.

I think I saw in a previous video that you only have one propane tank. If I have that wrong, just ignore my post. Since space is always a premium, consider a 5 or 10lb tank as a backup. In case you run out, you can use these small ones until you can top off your main one. Great videos. I always get excited when I see a new one is available.

Good video guys, Other than her laughing at your shoes, while you work😂🤘🏻🪵🇺🇸

Looked like Barkley enjoyed the snow! Wonderful video and really looking forward to the next ones, good luck Barkley.

It's always slow in the winter time there in Estes Park. My brother and sister in law used to work at Safeway. Now they're retired.

Barkley definitely enjoyed running in the snow!Our Rusty loves it too, but he doesn't get it very often. Be safe out there!

Good luck Barkley❤

Hello you two Living Large Camping I always like all your videos and I enjoy watching this video

LOVE the snow.

I use Yokohama or Patagonia A/T tires, best bang for your buck, never had and issue. Great video! Less than the BFGs

Finally got a set of your pans,I love them! Thank you! Best to Barkley! Stay safe

Love the snow camping and not anyone around. Estes Park looked deserted! We were there years ago and loved it but that was way before Covid, loved the river running through town but winter is pretty cold. Safe travels.

Great video! Good luck with Barkley! We love Barkley!

Whoohoo! Another video!

Thank you for another great video. Nothing wrong with an extra day of decompression and enjoying the spring snow fall. You should think about getting a NOAA weather radio vs just using your weather apps As always, stay safe out there…..

Another great video. New snow makes everything beautiful.

Good Luck to Barkley!

I always look forward to seeing your videos. Beautiful snow to look at from afar. Safe travels.

Great video.always love watching you guys Hope Barkley has a good checkup.Take care and be safe.

Nice video

Good Idea on the tires you guys

Notice the Oura Ring.. I had one until I lost it. Suggestion, See if they will sponsor you then talk about ring and your morning numbers. My friend lives and breathes it. I didn't.

See you guys in your next video 😊❤

The Cah, I did know she was from Massatusittes!

The winter camping you have done you very much enjoy but as full timers living without water systems operational all these months seems rough….

Another AWESOME VIDEO!! What breed of dog is Barkley?? Good luck 🍀 with his dental cleaning.

Yall probably know, but there is an REI in Denver:)

I live in Colorado and the weather changes hourly during the winter months. Do you have a sway bar on your truck to help with the camper. I have read some have one and others don't. Be safe out there and enjoy!

Loved it. The snow was beautiful.

You up at Allen’s Park in Estes

Great video and beautiful scenery. Do you two work remotely while on the road or is RU-vid your full time gig?

you guys should get one of those fold up fire pits

🕊️

When y’all getting engaged? We’ve been waiting for ages. Lol.

First Like, First comment!!

Clothing upgrade needed for environment you choose to live within,you should NEVER get cold outside if you are appropriately outfitted..

If you camp in the 4 seasons of the year, then you need a truck camper that is certified for 4 season use. Anything less is Mickey Mouse. Your Windows are not insulated. You can lose 25-35% of your heat with non-insulated windows. Plastic double pane windows filled with Argon Gas that open vertically are best. You have been through some good storms. In the late 1970's a bad storm rolled through the Hamakua coast on the Big Island of Hawaii. I saw it rain 48 inches of rain in 72 hours. Human graves were washed out into the ocean. Aloha.

… not too smart either.,,

🎊 *PromoSM*

Just wondering, are you two married?

When are you going to marry that girl. Better not let her slip away... and vis versa....

Love your videos but please stop using that filter. You’re too young to need it! Lol😂 Keep up the good work! Best wishes to Barkley!

Don’t u guys eat any meat 🥩
