Good call. You can feed several people with a few Ben's original rice while picking what rice you like. If you are really in a pinch you can use pinto beans or any bean that you like. I've really only done it while camping when people come grossly undersupplied on food but plenty of beer.

Maria used to do a really good job of balancing the cozy camping footage (the downtime) with the hectic driving footage (the job). Lately, I've noticed a very real shift away from the actual camping part of her journeys and more emphasis on the fast paced drive drive drive stuff. It's very strange given that there is a new puppy along for the ride and it would be great to see her just chilling with her new mom and big brother at a scenic camp location. Maria seems to get to the camping spot and then that's it, we cut to the next day (or Day 5). I hope she goes back to balancing the chill with the hectic.

There is a free way to get water, buy a five-gallon jug and camp where they have free water. Then you have water for a few trips. You can also look up where there are artesian wells, and that is the best free water money can't buy.

That can be iffy. I understand why she's going with bottled water with two dogs. Sometimes just to change in water supply because different municipalities treat their water differently - it can be enough to create diarrhea for some dogs or stomach upset in general.

Fun fact, you can get a Loves card and use it when you get fuel, coffee, snacks, whatever that will get you in store credit. You could end up with enough for free shower. Also, they have sinks near the soda machine where you can refill your water containers for free 😎✌️

Hi Maria... I'd like to offer a tip which I hope you'll consider seriously. It's about saving your fingers. Whenever you're putting your top down, get yourself 2 small blocks made out of 2x4s and insert them at the rear corners of the bottom camper in case your struts fail. It's happened to me and i've seen it happen to others where struts failed. God forbid one or both decide to fail, they can crush your fingers and you'll be stuck without a way to get loose. You won't be able to lift the top to get your fingers out. Worst case scenario but never say never. Best wishes always and I love your content young lady! STAY SAFE!! Thank you for entertaining us!! ❤

How do you potty when there are no facilities? And how do you keep your own fresh if you don't shower for days. Very curious.

GOOD JOB.

I’m really worried. I feel bad expecting to hear from her. She’s alone anything can happen. She did have Blues appointment coming up. She will be on her soon.

I went to a wilderness program at 15 in 2011 I spent 56 days and took 1 shower... so don't feel weird saying you gone several days without a shower. Wish I could travel the country like you do. Love the videos!
