learned

12
00:00:28,757 --> 00:00:32,166
firsthand about why every hike in Barr country

13
00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:33,297
should Cherry Bears spray.

14
00:00:34,015 --> 00:00:35,929

r v

26
00:01:12,972 --> 00:01:13,211
lifestyle.

27
00:01:14,101 --> 00:01:17,044
Well, it's been a crazy week. Hasn't it

28
00:01:17,044 --> 00:01:18,714
then? It's been very busy.

29
00:01:19,351 --> 00:01:19,907
We're back.

30
00:01:20,797 --> 00:01:23,495
Still recovering from our Rv lifestyle rally that

31
00:01:23,495 --> 00:01:25,004
was held last week and ship,

32
00:01:25,797 --> 00:01:29,314
Indiana in the heart of Amish country, we

33
00:01:29,543 --> 00:01:32,344
called us the gather and groove meetup up

34
00:01:32,478 --> 00:01:32,716
because,

35
00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:36,390
on Thursday night, we all grew by attending

36
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:37,501
a concert

37
00:01:37,889 --> 00:01:39,564
at Moto towns legendary

38
00:01:40,282 --> 00:01:42,515
temptation. They were the guests. And, you know,

39
00:01:42,674 --> 00:01:45,067
that some of our attendees are now calling

40
00:01:45,067 --> 00:01:47,220
all those who went. We are now the

41
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:48,911
Rv I lifestyle groove.

42
00:01:49,948 --> 00:01:52,023
Here we go. I like that name. Yeah.

43
00:01:52,501 --> 00:01:53,698
You know, when we come back from a

44
00:01:53,698 --> 00:01:54,996
trip like this is always

45
00:01:55,469 --> 00:01:58,658
is a little embarrassing because after every 1

46
00:01:58,658 --> 00:01:58,977
of these,

47
00:02:00,013 --> 00:02:01,209
you and I tell ourselves,

48
00:02:01,847 --> 00:02:04,334
this 1 was the best 1 ever. And

49
00:02:04,334 --> 00:02:06,568
then I'm very predictable because I always say,

50
00:02:06,808 --> 00:02:08,803
let's go back and do the same location

51
00:02:08,803 --> 00:02:11,596
next year. But it was so great hanging

52
00:02:11,596 --> 00:02:14,711
out with our friends and, followers last week,

53
00:02:15,107 --> 00:02:16,536
and we can't wait for the next 1,

54
00:02:16,694 --> 00:02:19,155
which is in October, and it will be

55
00:02:19,155 --> 00:02:21,034
in Florida and October is

56
00:02:21,392 --> 00:02:22,824
by all means the best,

57
00:02:23,381 --> 00:02:24,972
month of the year. Don't you think for

58
00:02:24,972 --> 00:02:26,961
our years? I think you can't beat Florida

59
00:02:26,961 --> 00:02:29,762
in October. Quick remind you that we would

60
00:02:29,762 --> 00:02:31,139
love it if you guys

61
00:02:31,515 --> 00:02:33,985
would give us a review of the Rv

62
00:02:33,985 --> 00:02:34,383
podcast.

63
00:02:34,861 --> 00:02:37,672
Just use whatever app you listen to, and

64
00:02:37,983 --> 00:02:39,731
please give us a review, we really love

65
00:02:39,731 --> 00:02:41,638
those 5 star reviews that you send us.

66
00:02:42,194 --> 00:02:43,783
And every time when somebody gives us a

67
00:02:43,783 --> 00:02:46,106
review, it kinda helps us I get worried

68
00:02:46,106 --> 00:02:49,079
about the podcast out through social media, and

69
00:02:49,137 --> 00:02:51,530
it's just shared more, so we'd appreciate it.

70
00:02:52,248 --> 00:02:52,647
Also,

71
00:02:53,125 --> 00:02:55,534
if you have a comment or a question,

72
00:02:55,773 --> 00:02:57,609
and you'd like us to address it on

73
00:02:57,609 --> 00:02:58,488

77
00:03:05,368 --> 00:03:07,838
Is it hot enough for you? It's more

78
00:03:07,838 --> 00:03:10,069
than hot enough. Yeah. We are in the

79
00:03:10,069 --> 00:03:13,176

80
00:03:13,176 --> 00:03:15,819
the middle part of the country and it's

81
00:03:15,819 --> 00:03:17,649
supposed to last, I think, all week long.

82
00:03:18,047 --> 00:03:18,445

83
00:03:19,081 --> 00:03:20,377

97
00:03:54,288 --> 00:03:54,608
changer.

98
00:03:55,487 --> 00:03:58,215
Everybody knows that the stock mattresses that come

99
00:03:58,215 --> 00:04:01,309
in an Rv are not great. And whether

100
00:04:01,309 --> 00:04:03,292

Jennifer and I got the signature hybrid mattress

107
00:04:20,052 --> 00:04:23,408
in queen with the cooling cover, and we

108
00:04:23,464 --> 00:04:26,108
love it. It truly has a sleeping just

109
00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:27,863
as good in the Rv as our house.

00:04:28,262 --> 00:04:30,973
In fact, so good, we actually got another

111
00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:33,606
Rv mattress for our sticks and Bricks house.

112
00:04:34,339 --> 00:04:37,236
Now swapping out the uncomfortable old stock mattress

113
00:04:37,296 --> 00:04:40,092
for our new Rv mattress was easy. It

114
00:04:40,092 --> 00:04:42,170
shipped from Arizona for free in a box.

115

00:04:44,574 --> 00:04:47,839
looked back. This Rv mattress is plush comfort.

And Wendy Boy reports on the hot issues

130
00:05:20,473 --> 00:05:23,105
most talked about this past week on social

131
00:05:23,105 --> 00:05:23,504
media,

132
00:05:23,983 --> 00:05:27,503
and our Rv lifestyle community group. Hi everybody.

133
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,255
In our Rv lifestyle communities, mods in Diy

134
00:05:31,866 --> 00:05:34,424
tweaks space. We asked everyone What is the

135
00:05:34,424 --> 00:05:37,460
most efficient modification you've made in your Rv

136
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:40,656
to maximize space and utility. And there were

137
00:05:40,656 --> 00:05:43,143
so many interesting things people shared. I have

138
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:45,450
to share a couple with you. A 1

139
00:05:45,450 --> 00:05:47,200
thing that came up over and over where

140
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,893
people said game changer

141
00:05:49,204 --> 00:05:50,795
when they got the snap pads.

142
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:53,102
Brian was 1 of many who said he

143
00:05:53,102 --> 00:05:55,091
puts them with his fifth wheel landing legs.

144
00:05:55,250 --> 00:05:57,732
He uses them there. No more wooden boards

145
00:05:57,732 --> 00:06:00,038
just saves time and been a game changer.

146
00:06:00,913 --> 00:06:02,982
Another thing that was shared was from Tracy.

147
00:06:03,141 --> 00:06:04,675
She's said that she and her husband got

148
00:06:04,675 --> 00:06:06,754
rid of their Ar mid bunk room turned

149
00:06:06,754 --> 00:06:09,154
it into an office, and now they can

150
00:06:09,154 --> 00:06:11,074
go camping more because they can work a

151
00:06:11,074 --> 00:06:13,324
little bit from the road when Siri. And

152
00:06:13,484 --> 00:06:16,507
Mark, he replaced the Jack knife sofa and

153
00:06:16,507 --> 00:06:19,132
foundation in his Rv with a sleeper or

154
00:06:19,132 --> 00:06:21,281
sofa. Now he's got more places to sleep.

155
00:06:21,694 --> 00:06:23,852
And he's lost 0 sleeping room. And he

156
00:06:23,852 --> 00:06:25,451
shared a pitcher in the new self was

157
00:06:25,451 --> 00:06:27,848
super cute. And that's just again, a couple

158
00:06:27,848 --> 00:06:29,606
things that people shared there and lots of...

159
00:06:29,846 --> 00:06:31,125
It's worth reading. Lots of ideas.

160
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:34,340
Also in our community in the troubleshooting space,

161
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:36,900
we had a post recently from Alan and

162
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:39,139
Cindy. Now, Alan and Cindy, were camping in

163
00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:40,754
Texas for a month. And while they were

164
00:06:40,754 --> 00:06:43,395
there, they got ants, those really little ants,

165
00:06:43,875 --> 00:06:45,314
and they're having a hard time getting rid

166
00:06:45,314 --> 00:06:47,254
of them. So they ask for some suggestions

167
00:06:47,634 --> 00:06:48,995
and even pest control products.

168
00:06:49,887 --> 00:06:52,752
Some great suggestions here, but he said those

169
00:06:52,752 --> 00:06:55,060
really tiny little ants from Texas are called

170
00:06:55,060 --> 00:06:56,812
sugar ants. So not only do they need

171
00:06:56,812 --> 00:06:58,259
to find out how they were getting in

172
00:06:58,259 --> 00:07:00,327
the rig and close that up, but where

173
00:07:00,327 --> 00:07:02,634
are they finding the sweetness, clean that up

174
00:07:02,634 --> 00:07:05,678
and then spray. Bert said, to prevent them

175
00:07:05,678 --> 00:07:07,836
from coming in, they need to spray something

176
00:07:07,836 --> 00:07:09,993
at how long anything that touches the ground.

177
00:07:10,153 --> 00:07:10,792
We're talking,

178
00:07:11,352 --> 00:07:12,971
landing gear hoses

179
00:07:14,558 --> 00:07:17,126
steps, power cords, tires, everything

180
00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:19,330
to try to make that barrier.

181
00:07:19,728 --> 00:07:21,421
And then a lot of folks suggested

182
00:07:22,289 --> 00:07:24,358
chemicals that they had bought that they had

183
00:07:24,358 --> 00:07:25,871

185
00:07:28,021 --> 00:07:31,857
ant baits, At Ant gel, 0 spray. So

good information there, and I hope Ellen and

187
00:07:33,926 --> 00:07:35,439
cindy you guys got rid of those things.

188
00:07:36,076 --> 00:07:37,906
And then over in our Facebook group,

189
00:07:38,716 --> 00:07:40,066
I have to tell you about a post

190
00:07:40,066 --> 00:07:42,710
from joy. Now, Joy was frustrated.

191
00:07:43,242 --> 00:07:45,783
She says exhausted because she keeps spending so

192
00:07:45,783 --> 00:07:47,549
much time and she getting ready to go

193
00:07:47,549 --> 00:07:48,584
camping every weekend?

194
00:07:49,301 --> 00:07:51,690
She said, by the time they... She makes

195
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:54,318
her meal list, go shopping prepares the food

196
00:07:54,318 --> 00:07:56,566
loves it, then gets her bedding then cleans

197
00:07:56,566 --> 00:07:58,482
the rig and then gets clothes in there

198
00:07:58,482 --> 00:08:00,419
and then gets the toiletries, the paper products

199
00:08:00,478 --> 00:08:02,873
and anna and on. She's just exhausted and

200
00:08:02,873 --> 00:08:05,604
she's looking for some tips. On how to

201
00:08:05,604 --> 00:08:06,104
just

202
00:08:06,485 --> 00:08:08,964
streamline this, so she's not so exhausted every

203
00:08:08,964 --> 00:08:11,204
time when she thinks about camping. And over

204
00:08:11,204 --> 00:08:14,172
800 people, his suggestions for her, there were

205
00:08:14,172 --> 00:08:15,606
a lot of really good ones here.

206
00:08:16,881 --> 00:08:18,475
Many people said for food,

207
00:08:19,272 --> 00:08:21,599
simplify it. Make a very simple menu and

208
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:23,832
have the same 1. Every weekend you camping.

209
00:08:24,071 --> 00:08:25,587
That way, you have the same shopping list,

210
00:08:25,826 --> 00:08:27,979
the same meal, plan, you don't have to

211
00:08:27,979 --> 00:08:29,908
think about it, makes it simple. And you

212
00:08:29,908 --> 00:08:31,821
can even order your food online ahead of

213
00:08:31,821 --> 00:08:33,335
time at the grocery store have bring it

214
00:08:33,335 --> 00:08:35,168
to the car saving more time.

215
00:08:35,965 --> 00:08:37,081
For other items,

216
00:08:37,735 --> 00:08:40,294
A many said, get duplicates for your bedding,

217
00:08:40,534 --> 00:08:43,254
get duplicates for your towels, get duplicates. Even

218
00:08:43,254 --> 00:08:45,095
for your clothes, if you can get duplicates.

219
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:47,105
Have clothes that you keep in the camper

220
00:08:47,105 --> 00:08:48,621
all the time, close that you keep home

221
00:08:48,621 --> 00:08:50,776
all the time. That way, no thought. You

222
00:08:50,776 --> 00:08:51,973
clean them when you come in from the

223
00:08:51,973 --> 00:08:53,250
trip you stick them back out there.

224
00:08:53,984 --> 00:08:55,580
At your leisure. And then when you're ready

225
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:57,256
to go that's 1 less thing to worry

226
00:08:57,256 --> 00:08:57,416
about.

227
00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:02,125
For food and toiletries, people suggested bins,

228
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:05,163
it's easy to bring things in and out

229
00:09:05,163 --> 00:09:05,560
that way.

230
00:09:06,355 --> 00:09:09,137
Also, for people said for paper products, when

231
00:09:09,137 --> 00:09:10,886
you run out of something, write a list

232
00:09:10,886 --> 00:09:13,289
while you're camping, And then when you're home

233
00:09:13,289 --> 00:09:15,520
at your leisure, we stock it. So that

234
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,034
way when it's time to go camping. Again,

235
00:09:17,194 --> 00:09:18,389
you don't have to think about it, you've

236
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:20,639
already handled it. And that's just a couple

237
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:22,480
things there were so many good suggestions in

238
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,480
this thread and there are others besides joy,

239
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,240
who've got exhausted every time they need to

240
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,894
go camping. So hopefully that

241
00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:29,999
post helped a lot of people.

242
00:09:30,634 --> 00:09:32,222
And that's it for me this week. I'm

00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:55,065
at amaze made. The new thoughts, the new

252
00:09:55,065 --> 00:09:57,127
ideas, and I could really relate to the

253
00:09:57,127 --> 00:09:58,237
woman who was saying,

254
00:09:58,792 --> 00:09:59,744
she needed some help,

255
00:10:00,775 --> 00:10:01,275
organizational

256
00:10:01,584 --> 00:10:02,702
help to

257
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:06,134

258
00:10:06,134 --> 00:10:07,651
need to do to get ready for a

259
00:10:07,651 --> 00:10:11,258
trip and then coming home and so people

260
00:10:11,258 --> 00:10:13,812
gave her a lot of suggestions and things

261
00:10:13,812 --> 00:10:15,648
they do to make that not so burdensome

262
00:10:15,967 --> 00:10:18,123
That. That was great. We're gonna meet a

263
00:10:18,123 --> 00:10:19,400
bunch of real rv.

264
00:10:19,734 --> 00:10:21,564
In a minute. And we went out to

265
00:10:21,564 --> 00:10:23,315
of them, these are folks we met last

266
00:10:23,315 --> 00:10:24,826
week and in our and are gathering in

267
00:10:24,906 --> 00:10:25,406
Ship.

268
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:27,930
And we asked them what they liked best

269
00:10:27,930 --> 00:10:30,419
about their Rv. Because you'll learn some things

270
00:10:30,419 --> 00:10:32,899
when you're shopping, and we ask what they

271
00:10:32,899 --> 00:10:34,019
liked the least.

272
00:10:34,580 --> 00:10:36,580
And sometimes it was the same thing.

273
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:39,059
How'd that work out? We'll stick with us.

274
00:10:39,536 --> 00:10:41,681
Right after this, you'll meet them all on

275
00:10:41,681 --> 00:10:42,420
our Rv

276
00:10:42,794 --> 00:10:45,670
discussion of the week. Jennifer and I took

277
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,213
a trip to Las Vegas and Arizona to

278
00:10:48,213 --> 00:10:50,994
look at wind mail acres, a brand new

279
00:10:51,153 --> 00:10:53,792
Rv property being offered by West stern land

280
00:10:53,792 --> 00:10:54,350
and ranches.

281
00:10:54,908 --> 00:10:58,037
They're selling off 1 and 2 acre parcels

282
00:10:58,494 --> 00:11:00,486
starting at only 14900

283
00:11:00,486 --> 00:11:03,297
dollars Now these are big. An acre is

284
00:11:03,297 --> 00:11:05,954
the size of a football field. The properties

285
00:11:06,014 --> 00:11:08,970
are on a plateau with big valley views

286
00:11:08,970 --> 00:11:11,692
and the look location is amazing. Next to

287
00:11:11,851 --> 00:11:15,507
Lake Mead national recreation area. We had a

288
00:11:15,507 --> 00:11:18,050
blast. There are so many places to explore

289
00:11:18,050 --> 00:11:18,868
near the property

290
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,570
the Grand Canyon. We took a bold ride

291
00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:24,041
on the Colorado river below Hoover dam.

292
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,751
Boulder city was a fun little town.

293
00:11:27,725 --> 00:11:29,485
That's right off route 66,

294
00:11:29,804 --> 00:11:32,125
and, of course, we had to enjoy some

295
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:33,725
nightlife in Las Vegas.

296
00:11:34,365 --> 00:11:37,094
It's a lifetime supply of fun things to

297
00:11:37,094 --> 00:11:39,559
do when you own a camp at wind

298
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:39,956
acres.

299
00:11:40,513 --> 00:11:42,581
The properties are now available.

300
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:44,465
This is 100

301
00:11:44,664 --> 00:11:47,136
percent ownership. So there's no reservations needed when

302
00:11:47,136 --> 00:11:50,008
you wanna hang out, time limits or crowded

303
00:11:50,008 --> 00:11:51,842
parks that you have to go through. You

304
00:11:51,842 --> 00:11:54,450
can share your property, you can rent it

305
00:11:54,648 --> 00:11:55,681

00:12:07,317 --> 00:12:09,810
Welcome back everybody. Time now for our Rv

310
00:12:09,948 --> 00:12:10,905
discussions of the week.

311
00:12:11,558 --> 00:12:13,255
Our viewers have puzzling

312
00:12:13,871 --> 00:12:14,908
relationships with their Rv.

313
00:12:15,706 --> 00:12:18,279
Only an Rv can be a love hate

314
00:12:18,577 --> 00:12:22,174
relationship. At our recent Rv lifestyle In Indiana,

315
00:12:22,333 --> 00:12:25,423
we surveyed a bunch of the attendees asking

316
00:12:25,423 --> 00:12:28,196
what they liked and disliked about their Rv.

317
00:12:28,528 --> 00:12:30,588
Now, if you're shopping for a new Rv,

318
00:12:30,904 --> 00:12:33,281
their answers may give you some ideas on

319
00:12:33,281 --> 00:12:35,524
what kind of things to look for and

320
00:12:35,674 --> 00:12:38,471
what to stay away from? Well, we've got

321
00:12:38,471 --> 00:12:38,971

That's a big plus. In the city. Yeah.

334
00:13:03,246 --> 00:13:05,073
And we can get anywhere with it. And

335
00:13:05,073 --> 00:13:06,821
what do you like least about it?

336
00:13:07,947 --> 00:13:08,662
Great question.

337
00:13:09,615 --> 00:13:11,202
I don't know. We've got it pretty customized.

338
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,830
Diesel engine. You're you're tapping the Mercedes d

339
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:16,943
solar there the Mercedes example.

340
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:19,973
Just you know, it's scary because if you

341
00:13:19,973 --> 00:13:21,887
ever had to get diesel maintenance,

342
00:13:22,525 --> 00:13:25,095
it be Very experience best. We've haven't been

343
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:26,774
fortunate in it. So we. So you don't

344
00:13:26,774 --> 00:13:28,695
like having diesel even though you have a

345
00:13:28,695 --> 00:13:30,535
lot more tour than me... I like that.

346
00:13:30,774 --> 00:13:32,695
And the engines last forever. We get about

347
00:13:32,695 --> 00:13:34,470
4 he miles the gallon and can't complain

348
00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:37,509
about that. Yeah. That's it's acceptable. It's better

349
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:38,069
than a gas.

350
00:13:38,709 --> 00:13:40,389
And you sound a lot of power. Yeah.

351
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:43,442
So so the maybe expensive of maintaining a

352
00:13:43,442 --> 00:13:46,076
mercedes. The potential. Expense. Yeah. Yeah always it's...

353
00:13:46,235 --> 00:13:47,991
You have a major problem miss that Gotta

354
00:13:47,991 --> 00:13:50,466
be pretty. Yeah. But this just gonna go

355
00:13:50,466 --> 00:13:50,966
forever

00:14:12,309 --> 00:14:14,932
convenient, easy to drive down the road easy

364
00:14:14,932 --> 00:14:15,567
this store.

365
00:14:16,839 --> 00:14:18,524
We give up a little bit as space,

366
00:14:18,763 --> 00:14:20,541
but the convenience of traveling

367
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:23,234
little more economics works out really good for

368
00:14:23,234 --> 00:14:24,911
us. And it's just the 2 of you

369
00:14:24,911 --> 00:14:27,840
guys? Mostly, but you because I can drive

370
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:30,591
if I have to? Yeah. So what do

371
00:14:30,591 --> 00:14:32,984
you like best, guys? What I like best.

372
00:14:33,463 --> 00:14:35,377
The size I think is is a good

373
00:14:35,377 --> 00:14:37,451
for us because we're not full time rv

374
00:14:37,451 --> 00:14:37,825
ears

375
00:14:38,343 --> 00:14:40,018
but we can get in it and take

376
00:14:40,018 --> 00:14:42,093
off and be good 2 of us. Alright.

377
00:14:42,252 --> 00:14:44,007
What do you like the least?

378
00:14:45,457 --> 00:14:47,924
Probably the least is the same thing. It

379
00:14:47,924 --> 00:14:50,233
is a little bit tight, and we've had

380
00:14:50,233 --> 00:14:53,374
to learn to walk carefully down the corridor

381
00:14:53,592 --> 00:14:54,390
between 1 another.

382
00:14:55,588 --> 00:14:57,503
But once you learn how to do that,

383
00:14:57,662 --> 00:15:00,876
it's not a not really a problem. So

384
00:15:01,903 --> 00:15:04,550
for us in our lifestyle with the other

385
00:15:04,607 --> 00:15:06,912
things that we do in our retiree years,

386
00:15:08,264 --> 00:15:09,616
if it works just fine.

387
00:15:10,411 --> 00:15:12,919
I at least. I like leash the beds

388
00:15:13,456 --> 00:15:15,370
because I'd rather have a better bed and,

389
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:17,683
you know, more comfortable a little bit bigger,

390
00:15:17,843 --> 00:15:20,236
but... It's a it's they're sofa bed? Yeah.

391
00:15:20,475 --> 00:15:22,723
It's a sofa bed made into 2 twin

392
00:15:22,723 --> 00:15:25,195
beds or but they're small at width. Yeah.

393
00:15:25,514 --> 00:15:27,508
You know, I think we we both struggled

394
00:15:27,508 --> 00:15:28,465
a little bit with,

395
00:15:29,422 --> 00:15:29,922
enough

396
00:15:30,554 --> 00:15:33,271
comfort, the the bed is really the bench

397
00:15:33,271 --> 00:15:35,509
seat that bends down, and and

398
00:15:36,148 --> 00:15:37,207
that makes it

399
00:15:37,746 --> 00:15:38,965
a little bit more,

400
00:15:39,915 --> 00:15:41,528
uncomfortable sleeping, but

401
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,971
I sleep well, I don't have sleep apnea

402
00:15:43,971 --> 00:15:46,914
to worry about. So I I do just

403
00:15:46,914 --> 00:15:47,073
fine.

404
00:15:49,554 --> 00:15:51,781
Alright. Can't go wrong with an airs stream

405
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:53,928
Mike, tell us what what model is this.

406
00:15:54,246 --> 00:15:55,383
This is the

407
00:15:56,568 --> 00:15:57,524
20 21,

408
00:15:58,241 --> 00:15:59,857
globe trout 27

409
00:16:00,711 --> 00:16:02,066
front bed twin.

410
00:16:03,022 --> 00:16:05,591
What do you like best about this. I,

411
00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:06,070
how.

412
00:16:06,868 --> 00:16:09,183
How it pulls down the highway. It's really

413
00:16:09,183 --> 00:16:09,503
light.

414
00:16:10,221 --> 00:16:12,137
Yeah. And it's easy to set up when

415
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:13,175
we get to a campground.

416
00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:16,386
What do you like the least about it?

417
00:16:18,463 --> 00:16:19,283
Well, sometimes,

418
00:16:19,741 --> 00:16:22,230
the shower gets kinda small. But other that,

419
00:16:22,469 --> 00:16:23,027
it's not bad.

420
00:16:24,779 --> 00:16:26,850
So you an airs stream guy through through

421
00:16:26,850 --> 00:16:27,726
now? Oh,

422
00:16:28,363 --> 00:16:30,116
until you find something else. You just never

423
00:16:30,116 --> 00:16:30,195
know.

424
00:16:33,009 --> 00:16:36,149
20 23, leisure, travel vans unity,

425
00:16:37,169 --> 00:16:39,490
peter and des spin, what do you like

426
00:16:39,490 --> 00:16:41,184
best about this, Rv.

427
00:16:41,985 --> 00:16:44,804
Everything, but, I guess the rear lounge

428
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:48,065
and the bed having a bed to sleep

429
00:16:48,065 --> 00:16:48,384
on.

430
00:16:49,516 --> 00:16:51,763
Peter What do What I like is a

431
00:16:52,057 --> 00:16:52,557
separate

432
00:16:53,566 --> 00:16:55,258
toilet area and shower

433
00:16:55,869 --> 00:16:58,014
so that, you know, they're not... You don't

434
00:16:58,014 --> 00:17:00,891
have to worry about? And what do you

435
00:17:00,891 --> 00:17:02,402
guys like the least?

436
00:17:04,708 --> 00:17:07,832
There's no put enough space to

437
00:17:10,132 --> 00:17:12,601
store things. Not enough storage?

438
00:17:13,158 --> 00:17:13,397
Right.

439
00:17:14,114 --> 00:17:16,662
Indoors are outdoors you mean? Cool. Both. Yeah.

440
00:17:17,714 --> 00:17:19,789
That's the trade off. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

441
00:17:20,108 --> 00:17:22,503
We bought... We purchased to talk up 10,

442
00:17:23,062 --> 00:17:24,898
it's a small 1 for 2 people.

443
00:17:25,617 --> 00:17:27,938
So when there's a of mosquitoes and bugs,

444
00:17:28,176 --> 00:17:30,715
we can sit outside, but it won't fit.

445
00:17:31,667 --> 00:17:34,300
Yeah. That's the problem with the smallest It

446
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:36,681
seems like the earlier models had more stories.

447
00:17:37,554 --> 00:17:39,697
Yeah. I think so. Yeah. I don't know

448
00:17:39,697 --> 00:17:41,761
why they they don't. Well you have a

449
00:17:41,761 --> 00:17:43,846
beautiful rig. Well, thank you you very. We're

450
00:17:43,846 --> 00:17:45,203
trying to get it cleaner here.

451
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:46,959
Thanks.

452
00:17:48,315 --> 00:17:50,012
And we find Andrew

453
00:17:50,882 --> 00:17:53,024
in the sun in front of his forest

454
00:17:53,024 --> 00:17:54,556
river FR3

455
00:17:54,849 --> 00:17:58,437
small, 30 foot class 08:34 11 inch. 30

456
00:17:58,437 --> 00:18:00,906
foot 11 inch class say, okay. Andrew, what

457
00:18:00,906 --> 00:18:02,978
do you like best about the FR3?

458
00:18:03,535 --> 00:18:05,383
We like it because it's a great couples

459
00:18:05,383 --> 00:18:08,037
coach and you can actually get into everything

460
00:18:08,255 --> 00:18:10,489
when all the slides are in. So when

461
00:18:10,489 --> 00:18:11,207
we're traveling,

462
00:18:11,606 --> 00:18:13,449
if we can't pull our slides out. We

463
00:18:13,449 --> 00:18:15,457
can still use the bed. We can still

464
00:18:15,592 --> 00:18:17,338
get the refrigerator to the bathroom.

465
00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:19,694
The thing I don't like about it

466
00:18:20,292 --> 00:18:22,125
is when the slide is in the bedroom

467
00:18:22,125 --> 00:18:23,798
with, the slide in the bedroom. There's not

468
00:18:23,798 --> 00:18:25,870
a lot of room to actually walk around

469
00:18:25,870 --> 00:18:27,879
the bed. You gotta do that. Sc. Yeah.

470
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,836
You gotta... Like, yeah. You know, my wife

471
00:18:30,836 --> 00:18:33,313
claimed the the spot, you know, we where

472
00:18:33,313 --> 00:18:34,591
you could walk up to the side, and

473
00:18:34,671 --> 00:18:35,550
I have the other 1, so I have

474
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:37,476
to sorta, like, get up on the bed.

475
00:18:38,350 --> 00:18:40,336
But I know in the newer models, they've

476
00:18:40,336 --> 00:18:42,027
actually lengthen or

477
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,831
did something to it and made that look

478
00:18:43,831 --> 00:18:45,678
a little room here. So what year is

479
00:18:45,678 --> 00:18:48,312
yours? Mine's a 20 18. 20 18. Yep.

480
00:18:48,472 --> 00:18:51,027
And it's a nice looking rig. Yeah. And

481
00:18:51,027 --> 00:18:52,943
we enjoy it. We've we've... We bought it

482
00:18:52,943 --> 00:18:54,002
brand new and

483
00:18:55,033 --> 00:18:56,629
we really love traveling it.

484
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:00,379
What do like best about your Rv?

485
00:19:01,097 --> 00:19:03,266
What do I like best about my Rv.

486
00:19:05,178 --> 00:19:06,054
It's a 20 10,

487
00:19:08,046 --> 00:19:09,401
and it looks amazing.

488
00:19:10,197 --> 00:19:11,871
Still working out the kinks a little bit.

489
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:13,580
But

490
00:19:14,035 --> 00:19:15,070
I think it's beautiful.

491
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:17,378
What you like least?

492
00:19:18,890 --> 00:19:20,323
The little hiccups that we've had a long

493
00:19:20,323 --> 00:19:21,357
way to figure things out.

494
00:19:22,806 --> 00:19:23,922
Alright like, give me 1.

495
00:19:25,118 --> 00:19:26,575
The batteries. The

496
00:19:26,951 --> 00:19:28,009
rig batteries

497
00:19:28,546 --> 00:19:29,444
are located

498
00:19:29,821 --> 00:19:30,790
underneath the stamps.

499
00:19:31,981 --> 00:19:32,481
And

500
00:19:33,252 --> 00:19:35,316
when we ran into the problem because we

501
00:19:35,316 --> 00:19:37,142
just got it. And so when we ran

502
00:19:37,142 --> 00:19:37,777
into the problem,

503
00:19:38,749 --> 00:19:41,146
they had to take that off, and the

504
00:19:41,146 --> 00:19:42,525
batteries were all.

505
00:19:43,943 --> 00:19:46,420
We needed brand new batteries. And that should

506
00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:48,188
you think been caught when you bought it?

507
00:19:48,585 --> 00:19:49,085
Oh,

508
00:19:49,458 --> 00:19:50,094
I think so.

509
00:19:50,808 --> 00:19:52,499
And the Rv dealer though

510
00:19:53,031 --> 00:19:56,049
paid for new batteries. Well, yes. That's pretty

511
00:19:56,049 --> 00:19:58,530
good. Yes. So it was a oh and

512
00:19:58,530 --> 00:19:59,326
it ended well.

513
00:20:00,998 --> 00:20:01,635
Bottom line.

514
00:20:02,431 --> 00:20:02,909
I love it.

515
00:20:03,705 --> 00:20:05,954
What do you like best? But your little

516
00:20:06,115 --> 00:20:09,154
Rv, the Ins Gulf stream. Well, I love

517
00:20:09,154 --> 00:20:10,994
that it's small, and I'm able to tow

518
00:20:10,994 --> 00:20:12,035
it with my jeep wrangler.

519
00:20:12,595 --> 00:20:13,734
And what you like

520
00:20:14,035 --> 00:20:14,410
least

521
00:20:15,324 --> 00:20:16,199
it's very small.

522
00:20:17,631 --> 00:20:19,858
I mean, it's wonderful for 2 people and

523
00:20:19,858 --> 00:20:22,099
2 small dogs. But I see all the

524
00:20:22,099 --> 00:20:23,924
other large ones and I've been in them,

525
00:20:24,082 --> 00:20:26,304
and they're very spacious. That's the only downfall,

526
00:20:26,463 --> 00:20:28,208
but I'm extremely happy with my little camper.

527
00:20:28,446 --> 00:20:29,398
And how long is that?

528
00:20:30,289 --> 00:20:32,604
It's 16 feet. 16 feet. Mh. And you

529
00:20:32,604 --> 00:20:35,079
tow with bumblebee b jeep. A jeep wrangler.

530
00:20:35,318 --> 00:20:35,478
Yes.

531
00:20:36,675 --> 00:20:38,991
So what do you like best about your

532
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:39,571
Rv

533
00:20:40,438 --> 00:20:41,071
tell us about it.

534
00:20:42,419 --> 00:20:44,187
1 thing I like is that it's

535
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,168
it's kinda simple and

536
00:20:47,269 --> 00:20:49,263
It doesn't have us... Doesn't name any slides,

537
00:20:49,502 --> 00:20:50,460
and it doesn't have

538
00:20:51,098 --> 00:20:53,809
an aw. So I don't have those hassle

539
00:20:53,809 --> 00:20:54,368
to do with.

540
00:20:55,006 --> 00:20:56,362
It's very easy to drive.

541
00:20:57,652 --> 00:21:00,379
It's it... Has a get good motor and

542
00:21:00,436 --> 00:21:02,425
get get up and go. Easy easy on

543
00:21:02,425 --> 00:21:03,619
the highway and

544
00:21:04,414 --> 00:21:05,528
it handles really well.

545
00:21:06,339 --> 00:21:08,407
And then I also like about it as

546
00:21:08,407 --> 00:21:10,339
the interior. It used to be a

547
00:21:11,509 --> 00:21:12,407
cruise America

548
00:21:12,862 --> 00:21:13,234
rental

549
00:21:13,831 --> 00:21:16,217
and they're making them very durable. The the

550
00:21:16,217 --> 00:21:19,320
in interior is very durable and haven't had

551
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,803
really any issues at This is a a

552
00:21:21,803 --> 00:21:24,295
class c. A majestic class c cab over

553
00:21:24,433 --> 00:21:26,584
for those who are listening to the audio

554
00:21:26,584 --> 00:21:28,655
version. So those are the things you like

555
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,144
the best. What about the things you like

556
00:21:30,264 --> 00:21:30,662
the least.

557
00:21:31,539 --> 00:21:33,212
Well, sometimes, I wish I had an aw,

558
00:21:33,531 --> 00:21:34,248
right you know.

559
00:21:35,204 --> 00:21:37,929
But that's okay. I, you know, I learn

560
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:40,563
to have that adapt and I've added some

561
00:21:40,563 --> 00:21:41,840
of my own touches to it.

562
00:21:42,958 --> 00:21:43,756
But I don't like.

563
00:21:45,033 --> 00:21:45,592
It's the fuel.

564
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:48,972
It's The cost of the fuel is is

565
00:21:49,028 --> 00:21:50,618
tremendous. And then if I was towing my

566
00:21:50,618 --> 00:21:51,174
a car,

567
00:21:51,731 --> 00:21:54,250
if it goes way. Way. Way. Alright. What

568
00:21:54,450 --> 00:21:56,210
is the mileage on that What do you

569
00:21:56,210 --> 00:21:56,849
get per gallon?

570
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:58,849
I I think I'll be lucky if I

571
00:21:58,849 --> 00:22:01,650
get 8. Yeah. Maybe 9 if I'm going

572
00:22:01,650 --> 00:22:02,130
downhill,

573
00:22:03,024 --> 00:22:04,459
I have the wind behind me in kansas.

574
00:22:05,495 --> 00:22:06,452
All said and done though.

575
00:22:07,647 --> 00:22:09,322
This is pretty nice rig. But I enjoy

576
00:22:09,322 --> 00:22:10,938
it. I really do enjoy it

577
00:22:11,966 --> 00:22:13,262
What do you like best

578
00:22:13,637 --> 00:22:15,068
about your Rv? This,

579
00:22:15,705 --> 00:22:17,137
Eagle J fifth wheel?

580
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,179
Big. I can stand up in it and

581
00:22:20,179 --> 00:22:22,332
it actually has a little office inside of

582
00:22:22,332 --> 00:22:23,768
it where I can do some work on

583
00:22:23,768 --> 00:22:25,124
the road if I ever need to just

584
00:22:25,124 --> 00:22:27,516
to hook up to my Tv, my Hdmi,

585
00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:29,128
and I can go to work longer. I

586
00:22:29,128 --> 00:22:30,646
got a sell signal. And what do you

587
00:22:30,646 --> 00:22:31,685
like least about it?

588
00:22:33,043 --> 00:22:35,041
It's a little longer than I would really

589
00:22:35,041 --> 00:22:37,211
want, but It tow just fine. And I

590
00:22:37,211 --> 00:22:38,968
don't don't have any problems moving it around

591
00:22:38,968 --> 00:22:39,367
the country.

592
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:42,879
How long is it? 42 feet. That is

593
00:22:42,879 --> 00:22:45,447
big. It's big. Yeah. I've pull it with

594
00:22:45,447 --> 00:22:47,279
that 3 quarter ton pickup right there.

595
00:22:48,633 --> 00:22:50,226
Actually, it pulls so well. It doesn't even

596
00:22:50,226 --> 00:22:50,704
know it's there.

597
00:22:52,712 --> 00:22:55,506
But more importantly, more importantly, we got breakfast

598
00:22:55,506 --> 00:22:59,018
here. We cut brian and sausage and... We

599
00:22:59,018 --> 00:23:01,420
caught Brian while he was fixing breakfast.

600
00:23:02,928 --> 00:23:04,515
I wonder if that was a coincidence. I

601
00:23:04,515 --> 00:23:04,991
guess I will.

602
00:23:06,975 --> 00:23:07,531
Look at that.

603
00:23:08,562 --> 00:23:08,934
In my

604
00:23:10,085 --> 00:23:12,941
It is always so much fun to get

605
00:23:12,941 --> 00:23:15,003
chance to go in everybody's Rv and to

606
00:23:15,003 --> 00:23:17,009
meet them and 1 of the things we

607
00:23:17,009 --> 00:23:18,529
always do at our gatherings is we have,

608
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:20,529
we call the Rv crawl, and it's a

609
00:23:20,529 --> 00:23:22,529
dedicated time where everybody it goes from Rv

610
00:23:22,529 --> 00:23:23,625
to Rv and

611
00:23:24,140 --> 00:23:26,280
it it's really fun. It's fun to see

612
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,262
how how people... Even with the same Rv

613
00:23:28,262 --> 00:23:30,403
you have, how they have they've equipped it

614
00:23:30,403 --> 00:23:32,401
and set it up. That's also fun to

615
00:23:32,401 --> 00:23:34,862
listen to the things that everybody, the little

616
00:23:34,862 --> 00:23:35,362
id

617
00:23:36,132 --> 00:23:38,751
of of owning and Rv. There is always

618
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:41,230
something that you can learn from going into

619
00:23:41,230 --> 00:23:43,300
other people's Rv. And you don't have to

620
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:44,574
do it at a gathering. Even when you're

621
00:23:44,574 --> 00:23:46,087
in a campground, you get to know people.

622
00:23:46,485 --> 00:23:48,179
And fight them in to see your Rv

623
00:23:48,237 --> 00:23:50,955
and asked to see theirs, and you'll always

624
00:23:50,955 --> 00:23:53,420
kinda learn something new about how to make

625
00:23:53,420 --> 00:23:54,636
the Rv lifestyle

626
00:23:55,010 --> 00:23:57,952
more fun. Alright. Lots of Rv news this

627
00:23:57,952 --> 00:24:00,359
week. We'll get to that right after this.

628
00:24:01,236 --> 00:24:03,310
Jennifer and I bought some land near Nashville

629
00:24:03,469 --> 00:24:06,500
Tennessee a while back. We got tired crowded,

630
00:24:06,899 --> 00:24:10,172
expensive campground grounds and worrying about reservations.

631
00:24:10,806 --> 00:24:13,658
Tennessee is a gorgeous state with friendly people,

632
00:24:14,055 --> 00:24:16,133
and it has been such a pleasure. The

633
00:24:16,133 --> 00:24:19,188
same developer has some new property near us

634
00:24:19,326 --> 00:24:22,142
close to the Natchez trace and Buffalo River

635
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,755
called the reserve at High forest.

636
00:24:25,487 --> 00:24:28,276
Big properties, 5 to 41 acres, you can

637
00:24:28,276 --> 00:24:30,746
build a house, a cabin or Rv year

638
00:24:30,746 --> 00:24:33,932
round. Prices started at only 89900

639
00:24:33,932 --> 00:24:34,171
dollars.

640
00:24:34,823 --> 00:24:39,182
Your property, your way, 100 percent ownership. The

641
00:24:39,182 --> 00:24:41,821
scenery in this part of Tennessee is breathtaking.

642
00:24:42,367 --> 00:24:44,115
And the property is gorgeous,

643
00:24:44,512 --> 00:24:44,989
garden,

644
00:24:45,386 --> 00:24:45,886
landscape.

645
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:49,119
Bring your pets, build what you want. There's

646
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,954
high speed fiber optic Internet, and it is

647
00:24:52,314 --> 00:24:55,190
so private. A great place to make your

648
00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:58,706
home base ready whenever you want it. 5

649
00:24:58,706 --> 00:25:02,228
to 41 acre proper from 89900

650
00:25:02,228 --> 00:25:04,797
dollars. There's even great financing.

651
00:25:05,331 --> 00:25:07,401
Check out the site and a video tour

652
00:25:07,401 --> 00:25:11,015
at rv lands dot net. That's rv lands

653
00:25:11,149 --> 00:25:11,703
dot net.

654
00:25:12,971 --> 00:25:15,610
Welcome back. Time now for the Rv news

655
00:25:15,823 --> 00:25:16,537
of the week.

656
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:20,145
So how important is good and Wifi to

657
00:25:20,145 --> 00:25:21,683
you when choosing a campground

658
00:25:22,222 --> 00:25:25,348
an interesting story of the weekend from Nbc

659
00:25:25,348 --> 00:25:28,159
news put its importance right behind

660
00:25:28,615 --> 00:25:30,709
water, sewer and electricity

661
00:25:31,085 --> 00:25:33,577
calling at the fourth utility that increasingly

662
00:25:33,967 --> 00:25:34,467
campers

663
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,166
demand. It's so important that campground

664
00:25:37,539 --> 00:25:39,309
invest in reliable Wifi

665
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:41,031
before good laundry.

666
00:25:41,443 --> 00:25:41,841
Facilities,

667
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:44,388
dog walks, and pickle ball courts.

668
00:25:45,024 --> 00:25:47,650
About 40 percent of all campers make decisions

669
00:25:47,650 --> 00:25:48,526
on where to camp,

670
00:25:49,176 --> 00:25:52,191
based on the reliability of the Internet, that

671
00:25:52,191 --> 00:25:54,436
number increases to 65

672
00:25:54,492 --> 00:25:56,872
percent for Jan z and millennials.

673
00:25:57,443 --> 00:26:00,546
And our social media platforms, we often hear

674
00:26:00,546 --> 00:26:03,433
complaints about slow and unreliable Wifi f

675
00:26:03,967 --> 00:26:06,058
because let's face it. Campground

676
00:26:06,528 --> 00:26:10,664
Wifi is notoriously bad. That's true. About 29

677
00:26:10,664 --> 00:26:12,812
percent of all campers do some work on

678
00:26:12,812 --> 00:26:15,464
the road. And those who don't still want

679
00:26:15,464 --> 00:26:17,065
to stream at the end of the day,

680
00:26:17,464 --> 00:26:20,184
and Unwind in the same ways they are

681
00:26:20,184 --> 00:26:22,845
accustomed to unwinding at home. Personally,

682
00:26:23,398 --> 00:26:25,632
I don't think you can depend on campground

683
00:26:25,791 --> 00:26:26,828
Wifi F yet,

684
00:26:27,705 --> 00:26:29,859
especially if you need it for work. A

685
00:26:29,859 --> 00:26:32,730
few months back on the podcast, we interviewed

686
00:26:32,730 --> 00:26:35,459
some experts and what you can do to

687
00:26:35,459 --> 00:26:37,455
ensure the Wi F is dependable for you.

688
00:26:37,854 --> 00:26:39,530
It is so important and I think the

689
00:26:39,530 --> 00:26:40,030
most

690
00:26:40,728 --> 00:26:42,106
revolutionary change to

691
00:26:42,417 --> 00:26:45,111
to that whole thing has been star.

692
00:26:45,665 --> 00:26:48,463
You know, the satellite system. It really has

693
00:26:48,755 --> 00:26:49,255
improved

694
00:26:49,563 --> 00:26:51,150
the connectivity of

695
00:26:51,864 --> 00:26:52,523
of Rv,

696
00:26:53,134 --> 00:26:53,634
I'd

697
00:26:54,007 --> 00:26:54,959
I can't even I think the last time

698
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:56,943
I'm even bothered to log on the Campground

699
00:26:57,102 --> 00:26:59,896
Rv because it's so bad. Now I know

700
00:26:59,896 --> 00:27:02,041
it's really costly for these Rv parks to

701
00:27:02,041 --> 00:27:03,018
upgrade it, but

702
00:27:03,471 --> 00:27:06,728
that that story that Nbc reported on something

703
00:27:06,728 --> 00:27:07,894
that we all kinda know

704
00:27:08,493 --> 00:27:10,249
it... If you go camping, if you own

705
00:27:10,249 --> 00:27:12,723
a campground, you better have good Wifi F,

706
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,756
people are bringing their own and that kind

707
00:27:15,756 --> 00:27:16,886
of helps. But

708
00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:20,224
you'll get more people and happy campers if

709
00:27:20,224 --> 00:27:21,336
you have good Wi f.

710
00:27:22,052 --> 00:27:24,374
Alright. There was an interesting story. This is

711
00:27:24,374 --> 00:27:25,733
the time year that everybody's plan to go

712
00:27:25,733 --> 00:27:26,532
up to Alaska,

713
00:27:27,171 --> 00:27:30,128
and a company called Alaska Motor home.

714
00:27:30,767 --> 00:27:33,005
Is being sued by the Alaska Trinity General.

715
00:27:33,499 --> 00:27:34,395
For stealing

716
00:27:34,926 --> 00:27:35,426
thousands

717
00:27:35,958 --> 00:27:38,813
of dollars and engaging at some pretty shady

718
00:27:38,813 --> 00:27:39,710
business practices.

719
00:27:40,654 --> 00:27:42,964
Is a popular Rv rental company, and it's

720
00:27:42,964 --> 00:27:44,898
accused of charging its customers

721
00:27:45,355 --> 00:27:47,586
2500 dollar damaged deposits.

722
00:27:48,462 --> 00:27:50,215
Before they even picked up their Rv.

723
00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:51,849
And then charging

724
00:27:52,150 --> 00:27:54,789
consumers taxes, which were really not owed at

725
00:27:54,789 --> 00:27:55,029
all.

726
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:58,470
And even forging a customer signature on receipts

727
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:01,521
to win a credit card charge back dispute.

728
00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:05,351
Now, since that lawsuit was announced, Alaska,

729
00:28:05,910 --> 00:28:07,926
motor home, abruptly closed

730
00:28:08,478 --> 00:28:11,109
And this is pretty unclear. They gonna honor

731
00:28:11,109 --> 00:28:13,740
all the contracts, signed by Rv viewers who

732
00:28:13,740 --> 00:28:16,132
have paid money and are counting on Rv

733
00:28:16,132 --> 00:28:16,610
this summer?

734
00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:20,754
The state calls this whole thing unprecedented with

735
00:28:20,754 --> 00:28:21,254
hundreds

736
00:28:22,025 --> 00:28:22,818
potentially affected.

737
00:28:23,533 --> 00:28:25,518
The Alaskan attorney general trying to get the

738
00:28:25,518 --> 00:28:25,970
states

739
00:28:26,329 --> 00:28:28,747
superior Court to ban the company from liquid

740
00:28:28,806 --> 00:28:30,644
assets and is trying to force them to

741
00:28:30,644 --> 00:28:33,840
tell customers who paid their deposits that they

742
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,929
don't and won't have an Rv.

743
00:28:36,647 --> 00:28:38,721
Now this is happening at the start of

744
00:28:38,721 --> 00:28:40,236
the Alaska tourist season,

745
00:28:40,714 --> 00:28:42,389
and that the company's been trouble before and

746
00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:44,798
frankly, this whole thing is is a mess.

747
00:28:45,597 --> 00:28:47,435
We hope everybody who is counting on renting

748
00:28:47,435 --> 00:28:48,794
an Rv from them we'll be able to

749
00:28:48,794 --> 00:28:50,712
get their money back and salvage their trip,

750
00:28:50,872 --> 00:28:51,372
but,

751
00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:52,684
be aware

752
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,592
not everything is going well in Alaska this

753
00:28:55,592 --> 00:28:57,584
year when it comes to renting an Rv.

754
00:28:59,177 --> 00:28:59,336
Alright.

755
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:03,797
Now, Rocky Mountain National Parks popular marine Park

756
00:29:03,797 --> 00:29:04,297
campground

757
00:29:04,670 --> 00:29:07,686
is expected to be closed this summer and

758
00:29:07,686 --> 00:29:08,003
fall.

759
00:29:08,733 --> 00:29:11,278
Marine hat park is the largest and most

760
00:29:11,278 --> 00:29:13,744
popular campground in the park, but it has

761
00:29:13,744 --> 00:29:17,109
been closed for construction since May of 20

762
00:29:17,109 --> 00:29:20,950
23. Last year. The park is undergoing underground

763
00:29:20,950 --> 00:29:23,750
utility improvements to improve the water,

764
00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:24,789
wastewater,

765
00:29:25,444 --> 00:29:26,262
and electrical

766
00:29:26,957 --> 00:29:29,507
distribution, so the campground can be used year

767
00:29:29,507 --> 00:29:29,746
round.

768
00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:33,411
And the campground utilities have not been improved

769
00:29:33,411 --> 00:29:35,657
since it was built in the night sixties.

770
00:29:36,455 --> 00:29:39,884
Construction also includes moving some campsite sites and

771
00:29:39,884 --> 00:29:43,314
installing some new ones. Speaking of national parks,

772
00:29:44,112 --> 00:29:47,240
free entrance. Coming up. So if you're anywhere

773
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,076
in near a national park this this week,

774
00:29:49,395 --> 00:29:49,874
Wednesday,

775
00:29:50,513 --> 00:29:50,673
today,

776
00:29:51,391 --> 00:29:54,026
June nineteenth, as this podcast comes out. It's

777
00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:55,870
free admission and celebrate of

778
00:29:56,663 --> 00:29:57,719
celebration of the June

779
00:29:58,568 --> 00:29:59,282
June tenth,

780
00:29:59,837 --> 00:30:01,742
the newest federal holiday, by the way.

781
00:30:02,392 --> 00:30:04,693
And it remembers the day in 18 65

782
00:30:04,693 --> 00:30:06,066
when news of

783
00:30:06,518 --> 00:30:08,739
emancipation reached enslaved people in Texas.

784
00:30:09,627 --> 00:30:12,165
That was well president Abraham Lincoln. He signed

785
00:30:12,165 --> 00:30:12,665
the

786
00:30:13,355 --> 00:30:14,387
emancipation proclamation,

787
00:30:15,101 --> 00:30:17,663
and noose took are you ready for this

788
00:30:17,663 --> 00:30:19,901
2 and a half years to reach Texas.

789
00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:21,899
That was in 18 63.

790
00:30:22,458 --> 00:30:24,776
So June nineteenth became a federal holiday in

791
00:30:24,776 --> 00:30:26,702
20 21, and this is first year, the

792
00:30:26,861 --> 00:30:27,837
National Park Service

793
00:30:28,210 --> 00:30:30,748
is offering free admission to celebrate, and there

794
00:30:30,748 --> 00:30:33,524
are now 6 free national park days every

795
00:30:33,524 --> 00:30:34,024
year

796
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:37,352
the next 1 after today, Wednesday the nineteenth

797
00:30:37,352 --> 00:30:39,974
of June will be on August fourth.

798
00:30:40,531 --> 00:30:43,495
So check all of that out. Alright. When

799
00:30:43,495 --> 00:30:45,830
we come back, we've got Rv questions

800
00:30:46,288 --> 00:30:46,767
and

801
00:30:47,485 --> 00:30:49,560
Mike and jen story time. Stay with us.

802
00:30:49,974 --> 00:30:52,154
When we're asked what's the most important

803
00:30:52,535 --> 00:30:54,615
modification we made to our Rv, it's an

804
00:30:54,615 --> 00:30:55,115
easy

805
00:30:55,414 --> 00:30:58,910
answer. Battle borne batteries. Battle borne batteries are

806
00:30:59,029 --> 00:31:01,995
quality safe, reliable lithium batteries

807
00:31:02,370 --> 00:31:05,233
that allow us to stay out there off

808
00:31:05,233 --> 00:31:06,521
the grid longer.

809
00:31:06,998 --> 00:31:10,179
Lithium batteries charge faster. They charge fuller they're

810
00:31:10,179 --> 00:31:13,519
longer lasting their maintenance free, and battle borne

811
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:17,136
batteries are protected by a 10 year guarantee.

812
00:31:17,829 --> 00:31:20,296
Now in our case, they just dropped into

813
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:23,000
the existing Ag g batteries that we have.

814
00:31:23,493 --> 00:31:25,169
And they'll probably be the same on your

815
00:31:25,169 --> 00:31:25,648
rig too.

816
00:31:26,286 --> 00:31:28,999
Ba born battery experts can get those in

817
00:31:28,999 --> 00:31:31,088
your rig just like they did with ours.

818
00:31:31,248 --> 00:31:32,605
They can also match you up with the

819
00:31:32,605 --> 00:31:35,579
right cabling, the inverter the charger the solar

820
00:31:35,637 --> 00:31:36,435
controller everything.

821
00:31:36,994 --> 00:31:40,041
Jennifer I swear by our battle borne batteries.

822
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,992
They allow us to boo doc off the

823
00:31:42,992 --> 00:31:45,784
grid, check them out. Go to rv lifestyle

Slash lithium.

826
00:31:51,223 --> 00:31:53,137
Hey, everybody. Welcome back. Time now for the

827
00:31:53,217 --> 00:31:54,355
Rv questions

828
00:31:54,812 --> 00:31:56,646
of the week, and just a quick reminder.

829
00:31:56,806 --> 00:31:58,241
We'd love to get your questions. We'll love

830
00:31:58,241 --> 00:31:58,934
to get your comments

831
00:31:59,453 --> 00:32:00,649
and you can reach us at mike and

832
00:32:00,729 --> 00:32:03,680
Jen at rv lifestyle dot com. What do

833
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,993
we got? Okay. Our first question is we

834
00:32:05,993 --> 00:32:08,226
are headed to Canada this summer for a

835
00:32:08,226 --> 00:32:08,385
long.

836
00:32:09,118 --> 00:32:11,987
Trip. Our adult children are urging us to

837
00:32:11,987 --> 00:32:14,697
get travel insurance that covers medical expenses.

838
00:32:15,255 --> 00:32:17,339
Do you think we should? This is from

839
00:32:17,498 --> 00:32:20,116
Anne and bill. Well, it's... For 2 of

840
00:32:20,116 --> 00:32:21,702
that you would ask us that this week

841
00:32:21,702 --> 00:32:23,209
weekend and, a bill because we have been

842
00:32:23,209 --> 00:32:24,558
looking to that for ourselves,

843
00:32:25,446 --> 00:32:28,968
we are, about to head to the Canadian

844
00:32:29,024 --> 00:32:32,125
maritime with the group from Fantasy Rv tours.

845
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:34,530
We're doing that in the middle of July

846
00:32:34,530 --> 00:32:35,646
and through, August.

847
00:32:36,523 --> 00:32:36,922
So

848
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,235
the answer to your question is we do

849
00:32:39,235 --> 00:32:40,192
think you should get

850
00:32:40,990 --> 00:32:42,345
extra travel medical insurance.

851
00:32:42,918 --> 00:32:45,148
In fact, whenever you leave the country, even

852
00:32:45,308 --> 00:32:48,414
Canada, we suggest you purchase medical insurance.

853
00:32:49,051 --> 00:32:52,013
There's enough differences between the 2 countries that

854
00:32:52,013 --> 00:32:54,237
you wanna make sure that you are completely

855
00:32:54,237 --> 00:32:54,475
covered.

856
00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:56,166
If you're hospitalized,

857
00:32:56,699 --> 00:32:58,765
it just makes sense to us that you

858
00:32:58,765 --> 00:33:00,933
have all of your out of pocket medical

859
00:33:00,989 --> 00:33:01,307
expenses,

860
00:33:02,037 --> 00:33:03,149
doctor's expenses,

861
00:33:04,183 --> 00:33:05,375
prescriptions, pharmacy stuff,

862
00:33:06,090 --> 00:33:07,521
ambulances, if necessary,

863
00:33:08,554 --> 00:33:09,849
the cost of a medical

864
00:33:10,462 --> 00:33:11,670
evaluation, if you need that,

865
00:33:13,103 --> 00:33:15,252
it gives you peace of mind in the

866
00:33:15,252 --> 00:33:16,309
event of an emergency.

867
00:33:16,764 --> 00:33:18,569
And there's a lot of different plans avail

868
00:33:18,689 --> 00:33:20,941
level, just just search emergency,

869
00:33:21,397 --> 00:33:24,105
travel, medical insurance. Now we priced a bunch

870
00:33:24,105 --> 00:33:24,822
of them out.

871
00:33:25,539 --> 00:33:27,744
And the most expensive was

872
00:33:28,183 --> 00:33:29,778
1500 dollars for the 2 of us.

873
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,090
We thought that was a little high for

874
00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:34,583
just a 27 28 day trip

875
00:33:35,598 --> 00:33:37,769
for when we tour the canadian Maritime.

876
00:33:38,970 --> 00:33:42,089
So we worked with their suggested insurance provider

877
00:33:42,089 --> 00:33:44,743
and we found an excellent plan that cost

878
00:33:44,743 --> 00:33:46,579
us 436

879
00:33:46,579 --> 00:33:48,416
bucks. That's for the 2 of us and

880
00:33:48,416 --> 00:33:51,928
it provides emergency medical expense reimbursement of up

881
00:33:51,928 --> 00:33:53,445
to a hundred thousand dollars each.

882
00:33:54,579 --> 00:33:57,059
And a bunch of other benefits as well.

883
00:33:57,619 --> 00:33:59,140
As I said, there's lots of other plans,

884
00:33:59,460 --> 00:34:02,740
lots of options, and you can spend a

885
00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:05,009
lot of money if you're not careful. So

886
00:34:05,225 --> 00:34:05,861
choose carefully.

887
00:34:06,816 --> 00:34:08,963
The 1 we chose worked best for us

888
00:34:08,963 --> 00:34:10,157
in this particular trip,

889
00:34:10,808 --> 00:34:13,272
So, Am bill, we advise you to shop

890
00:34:13,272 --> 00:34:14,942
around, and we're sure you can find something

891
00:34:14,942 --> 00:34:15,816
that works in your budget,

892
00:34:16,532 --> 00:34:19,393
but don't leave the country without that extra

893
00:34:19,393 --> 00:34:19,632
insurance.

894
00:34:20,284 --> 00:34:22,280
We think your kids are right. You do

895
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,834
need it. Peace of mind. Yes. It is.

896
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:25,473
Alright.

897
00:34:26,670 --> 00:34:29,305
Time now for story time with My and

898
00:34:29,305 --> 00:34:30,276
jen. And

899
00:34:30,992 --> 00:34:32,821
this 1 is is a good 1 to

900
00:34:32,821 --> 00:34:35,685
remind about because, the bears are all up,

901
00:34:36,083 --> 00:34:38,231
and they're very active and a lot of

902
00:34:38,231 --> 00:34:40,072
us are going to be spending parts of

903
00:34:40,072 --> 00:34:41,420
the summer in bear country.

904
00:34:42,214 --> 00:34:45,230
And you hear people often say, particularly those

905
00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:47,000
out west that you should have

906
00:34:47,388 --> 00:34:48,025
bear spray,

907
00:34:48,662 --> 00:34:49,378
and you should.

908
00:34:50,731 --> 00:34:52,722
Let's set the scene for this story. It

909
00:34:52,722 --> 00:34:54,313
was a a height that we did a

910
00:34:54,313 --> 00:34:57,514
few years back We were at Glacier National

911
00:34:57,753 --> 00:34:57,992
Park.

912
00:34:58,788 --> 00:34:59,266
And

913
00:34:59,744 --> 00:35:02,054
we were rail long of swift currently lake,

914
00:35:02,373 --> 00:35:04,459
beautiful lake on the west end the of

915
00:35:04,459 --> 00:35:04,858
the part,

916
00:35:05,575 --> 00:35:07,249
and we came across the bear. It was

917
00:35:07,249 --> 00:35:09,720
actually stocking a female moose or calf.

918
00:35:10,358 --> 00:35:12,565
Now remember was... We took off, somebody said

919
00:35:12,684 --> 00:35:14,518
you know, could we've been telling about. Always

920
00:35:14,518 --> 00:35:17,150
carry bear spray, and we said, somebody said

921
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:19,143
to do. We have bear spray and we

922
00:35:19,143 --> 00:35:21,615
said, yes. Yes. Yes. We should.

923
00:35:22,505 --> 00:35:25,284
And we're absolutely right. This was a very

924
00:35:25,284 --> 00:35:27,190
short high. You wanna set the scene a

925
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:28,698
little bit as we started with? There were

926
00:35:28,698 --> 00:35:30,786
12 of us. We had finished

927
00:35:31,494 --> 00:35:32,951
having a lesson and

928
00:35:33,328 --> 00:35:35,402
photograph, and we decided we'd take a little

929
00:35:35,402 --> 00:35:35,902
walk

930
00:35:36,279 --> 00:35:39,151
just to fill a few minutes. So 12

931
00:35:39,151 --> 00:35:41,199
people, and we had 2 cans of bear

932
00:35:41,319 --> 00:35:42,114
free. And

933
00:35:42,671 --> 00:35:44,421
we should have had... Now we didn't have

934
00:35:44,421 --> 00:35:46,012
to actually deploy any of them in this

935
00:35:46,012 --> 00:35:46,910
case. But

936
00:35:47,762 --> 00:35:49,524
because you know, it's a narrow trail, and

937
00:35:49,524 --> 00:35:51,271
you have 12 people. You're all spread out.

938
00:35:51,747 --> 00:35:53,096
You spread out pretty wide.

939
00:35:54,366 --> 00:35:54,866
So

940
00:35:55,477 --> 00:35:57,478
everyone should have had a bear spray. With

941
00:35:57,478 --> 00:35:58,353
them everybody.

942
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:01,853
We had because we're... We do all these

943
00:36:01,853 --> 00:36:03,523
videos. We recorded this whole thing.

944
00:36:04,255 --> 00:36:05,853
And we're gonna play that for you now.

945
00:36:06,012 --> 00:36:07,451
I think from the audio, you'll you'll be

946
00:36:07,451 --> 00:36:09,949
able to pick up exactly what happened. And

947
00:36:10,408 --> 00:36:12,485
from the video, you'll actually see a picture

948
00:36:12,485 --> 00:36:15,050
of the bear. And the mousse that were

949
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:15,369
involved,

950
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:19,347
because the bear was stocking a Mama mousse

951
00:36:19,347 --> 00:36:20,619
and her calf.

952
00:36:21,415 --> 00:36:21,915
And,

953
00:36:23,101 --> 00:36:25,725
well, here's what happened. So the thing about

954
00:36:25,725 --> 00:36:27,793
glacier, we keep saying, you should take bear

955
00:36:27,793 --> 00:36:30,179
spray even on short walks. Well, we were

956
00:36:30,179 --> 00:36:32,666
on a short walk, and well,

957
00:36:33,304 --> 00:36:35,460
Joe tell us what happened. As we were

958
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:37,695
walking down the trail, the 2 guys up

959
00:36:37,695 --> 00:36:39,690
front with the bear spray said,

960
00:36:40,263 --> 00:36:42,809
they... They saw a bear. And I was

961
00:36:42,809 --> 00:36:45,356
about 10 yards behind them, and I was

962
00:36:45,356 --> 00:36:48,317
watching the shrub move and then I could

963
00:36:48,317 --> 00:36:50,730
see the bear. So the brown bear

964
00:36:51,666 --> 00:36:54,377
went through the woods and started walking up

965
00:36:54,377 --> 00:36:54,877
the

966
00:36:55,652 --> 00:36:58,785
em up to the road, people were stopping

967
00:36:58,785 --> 00:36:59,505
on the road,

968
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:02,864
looking at the bear, and I guess the

969
00:37:02,864 --> 00:37:03,364
bear

970
00:37:03,905 --> 00:37:05,985
decided to just parallel the road a little

971
00:37:05,985 --> 00:37:08,796
bit and then came back down here on

972
00:37:08,796 --> 00:37:09,116
this

973
00:37:09,675 --> 00:37:10,735
grass area

974
00:37:11,114 --> 00:37:14,150
and was walking over towards the wood area

975
00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:14,789
to my right.

976
00:37:15,361 --> 00:37:17,742
And then, Pat, you saw what happened? You

977
00:37:17,742 --> 00:37:19,964
were we were together. What what was the

978
00:37:19,964 --> 00:37:21,495
bear headed for? The

979
00:37:22,424 --> 00:37:23,559
the cow

980
00:37:23,869 --> 00:37:24,748
and her baby,

981
00:37:25,388 --> 00:37:27,545
then she got up, and the baby got

982
00:37:27,545 --> 00:37:30,582
up, and then she was in frantic mode.

983
00:37:31,222 --> 00:37:33,654
Just going around in circles

984
00:37:34,031 --> 00:37:34,988
getting on the trail.

985
00:37:35,706 --> 00:37:37,142
I hid behind trees.

986
00:37:37,939 --> 00:37:40,172
And that's where, I saw the bear. The

987
00:37:40,172 --> 00:37:41,390
bear was maybe

988
00:37:41,847 --> 00:37:42,746
15 yards

989
00:37:43,459 --> 00:37:46,016
from the mama and her calf, and then

990
00:37:46,016 --> 00:37:47,693
he saw all of us on the trail,

991
00:37:48,173 --> 00:37:50,410
and he kind of veer off away. I'm

992
00:37:50,410 --> 00:37:52,654
am convinced weren't... Or you guys that he

993
00:37:52,654 --> 00:37:54,744
was going for that calf. He was machete

994
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,539
when we

995
00:37:56,152 --> 00:37:56,947
see the calf.

996
00:37:57,742 --> 00:37:58,878
Then we

997
00:37:59,347 --> 00:38:01,017
we didn't have the bearish issue, but we

998
00:38:01,017 --> 00:38:03,404
had a moose issue issues issue come. And

999
00:38:03,404 --> 00:38:05,631
here's. Yeah. What happened with the moose?

1000
00:38:06,523 --> 00:38:08,359
Well, just trying to stay out of the

1001
00:38:08,359 --> 00:38:10,194
calf in the mama's way,

1002
00:38:11,791 --> 00:38:14,185
the calf decided it like the open trail.

1003
00:38:14,439 --> 00:38:16,740
Which I was standing on and ran right

1004
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:18,882
past me, which gave me a little fright

1005
00:38:18,882 --> 00:38:20,652
because I figured mom was gonna

1006
00:38:21,105 --> 00:38:22,136
come get me, but

1007
00:38:23,821 --> 00:38:26,291
she was very tolerant. And as I stepped

1008
00:38:26,291 --> 00:38:28,145
off the trail to avoid the

1009
00:38:28,601 --> 00:38:31,070
the calf, the mom just went around us.

1010
00:38:32,106 --> 00:38:34,341
That you had the calf I was 4

1011
00:38:34,341 --> 00:38:36,085
feet feet. And Yeah. Now I should point

1012
00:38:36,085 --> 00:38:38,066
out that everybody's doing the right thing. We're

1013
00:38:38,066 --> 00:38:39,414
trying to stay on the way and move

1014
00:38:39,414 --> 00:38:42,363
away, but we got trapped between bear and,

1015
00:38:43,156 --> 00:38:44,901
mama Moose and her cow,

1016
00:38:45,536 --> 00:38:45,774
and,

1017
00:38:46,726 --> 00:38:49,130
tried to go down to trail and we

1018
00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:51,130
tried to get out of the way, but

1019
00:38:51,289 --> 00:38:52,670
Mama moose and the baby

1020
00:38:53,130 --> 00:38:55,210
followed us down the trail. So we had

1021
00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:55,710
to

1022
00:38:56,182 --> 00:38:58,507
climb up into the wood area

1023
00:38:59,277 --> 00:39:01,579
so that mama had a clear path in

1024
00:39:01,579 --> 00:39:02,396
front of her

1025
00:39:02,848 --> 00:39:05,086
and the baby to follow that down the

1026
00:39:05,086 --> 00:39:07,869
trail to get away from everybody. And all

1027
00:39:08,028 --> 00:39:09,698
I saw was mama coming at me with

1028
00:39:09,698 --> 00:39:11,606
her ears down, and I knew I had

1029
00:39:11,606 --> 00:39:13,292
to get out of the path. And there

1030
00:39:13,292 --> 00:39:14,647
was a gentleman up on the road that

1031
00:39:14,647 --> 00:39:16,002
was telling me to move faster.

1032
00:39:18,154 --> 00:39:20,226
So I was going through the mosquitoes up

1033
00:39:20,226 --> 00:39:20,625
that road.

1034
00:39:21,834 --> 00:39:22,334
So

1035
00:39:22,869 --> 00:39:24,540
who gives good hikes. That's all I wanna

1036
00:39:24,540 --> 00:39:24,699
say.

1037
00:39:28,772 --> 00:39:31,706
Forgot to Hyde. That's the 10 minutes our

1038
00:39:31,706 --> 00:39:32,262
t shirt.

1039
00:39:33,213 --> 00:39:34,482
Yeah. But we're not back yet.

1040
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,476
So as you saw the moose in her

1041
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:40,713
calf, moved down down the path, Jennifer got

1042
00:39:40,713 --> 00:39:43,370
out of the way, and they went back

1043
00:39:43,762 --> 00:39:44,952
towards the campground,

1044
00:39:45,586 --> 00:39:46,934
and we know that they went in the

1045
00:39:46,934 --> 00:39:48,838
in the campground there at Glacier because,

1046
00:39:49,472 --> 00:39:51,137
the rangers chased them out.

1047
00:39:52,349 --> 00:39:56,109
This moose obviously chose people to protect her

1048
00:39:56,109 --> 00:39:57,789
calf and for good reason.

1049
00:39:58,750 --> 00:40:00,989
People better than not be at our own.

1050
00:40:01,485 --> 00:40:03,644
Safety and numbers. And later we learned from

1051
00:40:03,644 --> 00:40:05,485
a ranger that there had been 2 calves,

1052
00:40:05,885 --> 00:40:07,724
but the barrett had killed and eaten 1

1053
00:40:07,724 --> 00:40:09,999
of them just a day before. So

1054
00:40:10,696 --> 00:40:12,372
I'm glad that the bear moved down. We

1055
00:40:12,372 --> 00:40:14,367
didn't have to use our bear spray. But

1056
00:40:14,367 --> 00:40:16,543
you don't know how fast the bear encounter

1057
00:40:16,762 --> 00:40:17,320
can happen.

1058
00:40:17,893 --> 00:40:20,514
And it can happen that quick and in

1059
00:40:20,514 --> 00:40:21,546
very popular areas.

1060
00:40:22,657 --> 00:40:24,166
So my hand was near the bear spray.

1061
00:40:24,404 --> 00:40:25,730
I was ready for it, but

1062
00:40:26,328 --> 00:40:26,828
fortunately,

1063
00:40:27,206 --> 00:40:27,923
the bear

1064
00:40:28,402 --> 00:40:31,115
didn't need it. Man that gives you adrenaline,

1065
00:40:31,594 --> 00:40:32,094
always

1066
00:40:32,551 --> 00:40:33,051
carry

1067
00:40:33,525 --> 00:40:34,905
bear spray, and

1068
00:40:35,204 --> 00:40:37,445
it should be fresh bear ready. Yes. Don't

1069
00:40:37,445 --> 00:40:39,525
keep it year to year. Right. They say

1070
00:40:39,525 --> 00:40:42,005
to buy new bear spray every year. Every

1071
00:40:42,005 --> 00:40:42,164
year.

1072
00:40:43,059 --> 00:40:44,817
Alright. That's our story of the week.

1073
00:40:45,536 --> 00:40:47,454
We'd love to hear from you guys, send

1074
