Roaming Reckless - The Backstory on Maria, Blue, Po... and a Land Rover Defender 110

Рет қаралды 8,362

Жыл бұрын

Traveling the country shoehorned into a Subaru wagon, Maria and Blue made van life look like one of luxury. But last year they brought a new member into the family, Po, a 1997 ex-British Military Land Rover Defender 110. We bumped into this inspiring trio in Moab, and spent a few days with them on the trial and learning about their backstory. Blue has quite a KZfaq following, and his human chauffeur Maria shares how they jumped off the proverbial bridge to live a life of adventure on the road.

I absolutely adore Maria but she also has an excellent support system & is very young. It's not easy for everyone to just go do what she's doing. That being said, it's still good advice and I'm a huge fan of her channel.

Hey Taysezz, thanks for the feedback, and we agree, Maria and Blue rock!

Maria is awesome! That was so nice of you all to let her tag along and patiently explain the basics of low-range, off-road driving. I was thrown in the deep end when I started. This would have been a far more positive learning experience.

Thanks for the input, Matt. It was a pleasure to have Maria along with the crew. As you mention, super important to be out with good/experienced folks (uh, not that we qualify) when learning the ropes. Cheers

Nice, nice interview. That was so well done. You made it interesting, although to be fair, Maria makes that easy. Thanks for the video.

Hi Sodoodle, thank for the feedback, good words, and hanging out on our channel. We've been crazy busy lately (with our real jobs) but hoping to get back in the saddle.

Maria…just watched your bee sting video…old tip…buy a can/box of powdered snuff (my aunt told me this decades ago, it works) make a thick paste with snuff water mixture, apply to sting, only once. It stops the burn and prevents swelling. I’ve used it over 60 years, yes I’m a grandmother. Thank me later!

I love this trio and all of their travels and adventures my question is where does your funding come from 10,000$ for tow money is never an issue 😮

@emmacooper3573 8 ай бұрын

Her dog caught my eye, so well trained and loving. Now I am interested in that lifestyle (car camping, vanlife, suvlife, etc...I even made a real car bed) I am a introvert, is it possible to stealth and be a person who snores 😢

@Gone_Gpn 8 ай бұрын

Blue is such a great pal. As far as traveling on your own, Maria and Blue are making a great go of it. Not sure about the snoring thing? Thanks for the in put.

We have no idea, but she ranks high in the 'cool' party.

Excuse me, but why is that an issue? Just asking. I enjoy the fact that she keeps her political issues to herself.

@Brandonbikes 9 ай бұрын

What does she do for money?

@Gone_Gpn 9 ай бұрын

She travels as economically as possible, but does support her adventure addiction with KZfaq videos, Patreon supporters, and merchandise sales (t-shirts, etc.). Thanks for the feedback.

Imported defenders are cheaper and US models.
