Baja can be challenging for non-desert raised dogs. They've never experienced cactus and once they do they paw the quill and spread it to their other parts and I do mean other. My wife and I were at Punta Baja and some locals asked for some help extracting the meanies from everywhere. The Mexicans restrained it,my wife tried to comfort it and me and the needle nosed pliers went to work. That was tough on everyone. The poor dog just collapsed afterward. It was a beautiful cocker spaniel that had wandered from it's owners or was "adopted". You don't see many pedigree dogs down there. The Mexican dogs seem to follow their elders lead and no touchy.
Wow that is great to know! Our dogs go to desert quite often but I often wonder how they would do down there. Thank you for chiming in we almost went to Baja a few weeks ago.

Off Road Shock Tuning! In this video we drop some knowledge for beginners (me being one of them). We show you some of the basics of tuning your rebuild-able shocks.

Our RAM 2500 has a full Carli suspension setup but you really need to tune the shocks to your exact specifications. Meaning your driving style, how much gear you carry in your vehicle, as well as what comfort/performance you would like. There is no out of the box solution. Shock companies can get them close but there is always room for improvement. Hope you get some shock knowledge and basics out of this video!

This video we cover everything about Kernville California, from hiking, mountain biking, fishing, rafting and even skiing. Great boondocking locations and great campgrounds as well.
We have been going to the Kern River Valley/Lake Isabella area for a long time now, it's the gateway to the southern sierra's! While we were in Kern for Whiskey Flat Days we decided to share our knowledge of the area and take you on a tour. This area is an outdoor paradise with year round activities. Whiskey Flat Days is one of the most popular festivals in Southern California. This festival takes place in Kernville (Formerly Whiskey Flats), Where the town is taken over with vendors, carnival, rodeo, a parade and even a wild west encampment. Hope you enjoy the video and do not forget to SUBSCRIBE!

This video is all about reviewing our 2016 RAM 2500 and all the towing/off road modifications we have done to it. This is our version of a Power Wagon/AEV Prospector/Tow rig.

Now that we have owned our RAM 2500 Cummins turbo diesel for almost 4 years we though it would be a great time to review it and show everyone our towing and off road setup. Plus we have been getting many questions, we thought it would be great to put all of the information into one place. This truck build is all about compromise and getting the best of both worlds, towing and great off road performance. Our truck has gone through many phases and with almost 75k on the odometer it has seen all different types of terrain. We share our reasons for choosing a RAM 2500 over a Power Wagon or AEV Prospector. Hope you enjoy the video, Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

In this video we show you how to change your both of your fuel filters on your RAM 6.7 Cummins. These fuel filters are fairly easy to swap out and you can save money by doing it yourself. This job consists of two separate filters. One located in the engine bay and the other located in the rear of the truck above the drive shaft. We love doing our own maintenance because we know that it's done right and we save money. If this video is helpful please make sure you SUBSCRIBE and give it a thumbs up.

While in the Eastern Sierras we go over our free camping/boondocking RV tips and proper etiquette. The guidelines that we tend to stick with when we are looking for boondocking and once you arrive.The major concerns to keep in mind.

Our 10 rules or guidelines that we try to follow as best as possible. Obviously there are many things that can come up or change. We have been following these rules for quite a while now and it has defiantly helped keep us safe and have a great experience.

Manzanar Japanese Internment Camp is located in the Owens Valley just north of Lone Pine California. Rv living allows us to explore this country on our time and terms.
Rounding out our long weekend in the Eastern Sierras we head over to Manzanar National Historic Site was once the home of over 10,000 Japaneses Americans that were rounded up during WW2. The museum has many exhibits, videos and recollections. This museum is full of history and leaves us a little uneasy. We hope you enjoy this video, please make sure you subscribe.

Why we live in a Rv? This video we will tell you how we started RV travel. We always thought Rv Living was a great way to see the country but we quickly realized there was so much more to it. This is our story. Rv Living has been a great experience for us. We have fallen in love with this community and thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know how our journey started. Defiantly have had our ups and downs, we think our story is pretty unique. Everyone starts for their own reasons this is ours. Hope you enjoy the video and please do not forget to subscribe!

Do you know about the abandoned Nazi camp in Los Angeles? It's called Murphy Ranch is a ranch built in a canyon near Los Angeles in the 1930s by anti-semitic sympathizers.
Come along as we take the 4 mile hike into Rustic Canyon to explore the old ruins. The area has been covered with vibrant graffiti that almost makes the area feel like a walking art show. Some of the older buildings have been destroyed but there is still a lot intact. Enjoy the video and please subscribe.

RV living vs living in a house? We finally dive into what we miss the most about living in our sticks and bricks. Fulltime RV travel is amazing but there are 5 major things that bug us from time to time.

There are definitely some pros and cons. In this video we tell you the 5 things we miss the most. It was a hard list to compile, considering we do not miss much. It might seem like some simple things, but when you live in your RV fulltime, they can take their toll. We definitely took these things for granted! We hope you like the video and please make sure you SUBSCRIBE!

What is social distancing? RV living can be tough. Dealing with isolation while living in a RV can be even harder. After almost 6 days we decided to go out and explore with friends, while keeping our distance!

Right now keeping our distance is very important to help stop the spread of COVID-19. It's completely changed the way we think, travel and live daily life. Heading out to the desert to explore, we talk about precautions we are taking to stay safe and avoid contact with others while still trying to maintain a bit of adventure. Hope you like the video and please SUBSCRIBE.

Coping with loneliness & isolation can be tough when RV living. Life on the road can take a toll on your mental health if you are not careful. We've been taking steps to get comfortable with isolation. Here are our tips for you!

We experienced some loneliness even before the mandated self-quarantine protocols due to corona virus. But the bright side is that has actually helped prepare us for this situation. We talk about everything from a good diet and exercise to maintaining a regular routine to protect our mental health. Most of all, a healthy dose of positivity and optimism is the best thing to have when feeling lonely. Hope you all enjoy this video and don't forget to subscribe!
