as with all the other outdoor youtube people, I drove right to the storm and did a little camping.

I know you’re smart but I just want to say it to make me feel better - If you run your car at all, please always make sure your exhaust pipe is able to expel exhaust. If it’s buried in snow, it will back into the car. Many families die this way when they get stuck in snow. 😣 I know this is your life, I watch all your videos, I just had to say it for you or anyone else who maybe didn’t know🫣

@CJ-tf5yd 3 ай бұрын

Yes. I keep telling her stuff like this, you just said it better! This is very dangerous, and I actually hate seeing young (especially) women living like this. Immensely dangerous.

As someone who loves the snow, I 100% see why you would park in the storm! I love all the thought you put into safety. You can tell you really think everything through. Sometime you gotta cook inside, no biggie. Not sure if it would help but a car cover or tarp may save you time cleaning off your car after snows like this so you can just pull off the snow. Safe Travels to you and your Element!

YAY! TOTALLY the "true MVPs of winter!" I waved and thumbed up (thumbsed up? whatever.) EVERY plow driver I saw for the last three days. People complained, "Oh, I was late to work because I was stuck behind a plow driver. Myeh." And I'd just want to say, "Oh, and then what? Did you experience clear roads so that you could actually drive to work at ALL?" Hahaha oh boy. But yeah, the plow drivers kept our little Tahoe town functioning. Anyway, that was awesome!

As per usual stupidity ran rampant, and they all came flying up here, wreaking havoc on HWY 80 with no chains or cables, no winter gear, not enough gas or no heat, no food etc. They disrupted our first responders and got in the way of our Plowers. But they need the views on their KZfaq Channel, so I guess it is ok, to disrespect our mountains, our towns, our locals and law enforcement and medics/firemen, harass our wildlife, throw their litter all over our mountains and beaches and treat us like crap. But they are entitled to be served first and get rescued in minutes of getting stuck! That we are in their way from skiing, how dare the resorts close due to unprecedented weather!!!

My family used to spend most summers camping in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey we have always talked about traveling across the country once my kids are out of the nest. Always pursue your dreams life is too short
