Amazing video! Thank you. My husband and is just got a van and we are working on a layout for our German Shepard, so all these tips are amazing. One thought though, isn’t really annoying for a dog, whose hearing is amazing, to have a bell at all times. I cannot imagine having someone put a always noisy thing at all times on me.
That’s a great point that we haven’t given too much thought. Over the past four years we only put the bell on her in bear country when hiking and biking. She’s always having the time of her life out on the trails so the little extra noise doesn’t seem to bother her.
Hahaha yes! It took us forever to finally decide to get it. Just one time of us getting lost did the trick. She was back at the car and I was searching in the woods. Luckily it all worked out.
Great dog tips. We travel with two full-sized dogs - and one is a Golden Retriever! Your dog hair tips are great. We feed our dogs dehydrated raw dog food and the equivalent of a 40 lb bag fits in a small box. We don't sponsor this company, but it has turned our sickly 12-year old into a puppy again (Honest Kitchen if you're interested.) I look forward to more of your videos. We have an off-grid van and home channel as well. It might be fun to connect. Cheers!
" Damn Gina" in my Martin Lawrence voice 😂😂😂😂I thought the tracker be like 300 bucks...but you can't put a price on your dog's safety. So I would've got it too for peace of mind...❤
Haha it’s insanely expensive! It’s took us a long time to bring ourselves to make the purchase but we are so glad we did. It really does give us peace of mind in all these foreign places.
Thank you for sharing links to the items!! We travel with our lab/husky mix, I am ordering the dog hair removal tools you linked, he sheds a TON of hair.
Thank you all , I needed this so bad right now . Love that there's a list !!! 🙏🙏🙏 Bless your family !!! 💜 This was a blessing for my Dog and My family !! 🐺
Hi! Doing my research and I wanted to ask what you do with her while you go in places on your own. Does she stay in the van with air/heat on? I have a Bosty that will be traveling with me :) GREAT TIPS!
If it’s warm out we typically leave her in the van with the vents in the back open and our max air fan running and also block out the front windows. We do our best to move with the weather but if it seems too hot out we never leave her. We’ll instead go late or early in the day or one at a time. Coming from Georgia leaving Penelope in the car was a huge concern of ours since we used to use our cars electric start to leave the car running while we were in stores. Also another thing to keep in mind is an insulated van doesn’t get nearly as hot as a typical car.
@@OutOfThisVan thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I am just doing as much research as I can as this is all brand new to me and I want to be happy and make sure my puppy is happy and healthy too! Great info! Xoxo
I. Have four dogs and one of them is my service dog and replacing ate home later this year and living in a camper that’s pretty big for four dogs and four cats we have a safe place for the pets when we aren’t on the camper and I wake up at seven am feed my dogs walk my dogs and give fresh water feed my cats and scoop there littler and give them fresh water I always make sure I take care of my pets before o care for myself thank you for this video found this very helpful
Wow that’s a lot of pets! It’s funny how we always seem to take care of our pets before ourselves but they do give back and provide a lot of love. Glad we were able to offer some helpful tips.

I’m a little late here! Just wondering what you do with Penelope if you are going some where she can’t go (I.e. short hike, into the grocery store, out of for dinner, etc.)? I noticed the crate, do you crate her in the van? If so how do you maintain airflow in the van when she’s there alone? I’m hoping to start Van life very shortly with my dog and this is a challenge we are struggling to solve.
When planning van life we struggled with the same problem. We always took Penelope with us everywhere in Georgia but our car had a remote starter so the a/c kept running while we were inside a store. Originally we thought we had to have A/C for her but then with A/C we would have to have shore power which wouldn’t work unless we had full hookups which is never for us. When we leave Penelope a few things are different in a van than a normal car. 1.) We have vents in the back that open and our MaxxFan running creates some nice airflow. 2.) With insulation and window coverings the van does a way better job maintaining its temperature vs a car. 3.) We attempt to move with the weather so it never gets too hot for her or us. 4.) If it is too hot one of us stays behind. This is unfortunate at times in those really neat National park areas but it is what it is. We could crate her in the van if needed but she’s pretty good when we leave her just whines never really destroys anything. We’ve watched her on camera. We do still use the crate in case we stay at an air bnb or hotel.
@@OutOfThisVan thank you so much for the info! This is so helpful! We don’t have any intentions of being in really hot places but sometimes it’s uncontrollable. Airflow has always been a concern of mine and this gives me such peace of mind.
Hi, couple of questions we have a GSP cross, Noodles loves to explore and we have considered the Garmin tracking device but wonder how good are they? Next question what harness do you use? And like the collar looks really good.
Hi! We love our Garmin! The GPS is incredibly precise and it has a 4 mile range which is pretty good. We haven’t had any issues with battery or other weird defects. She sometimes wears the ruffwear front range harness which we like a lot but it does rub her armpits a bit after a long day of running. Let us know if Noodle wants a collar like Penelope’s!
Many thanks for the feedback. It is great to have a personal recommendation, He comes to Europe every year with us and definitely something we are considering and even more now we are using the van. I’m sure Noodles would love a collar like Penelope but unfortunately we live in Guernsey 🇬🇬, Channel Islands. Definitely some good tips. 👍
She has a set of ruffwear dog boots but only wears them when her paws seem worn down. That only happens after lots of riding in desert terrain over rough rocks, etc. But I do like to pack them with me on really long hikes just in case!
Just the shipping cost at the moment. :) We have a variety of colors as well - apple green, royal blue, and hunter orange. Feel free to email us your pups neck size at outofthisvan@gmail.com
@@abbeyawesome1012 I only have experience with my dog Penelope. Her anxiety is pretty bad but when we were leaving her for work everyday we just kept a routine where we left music on for her and after a while she got use to us leaving everyday. In the van she’s been great she also knows our routine of getting groceries so she just takes a quick nap in the car.
@@OutOfThisVan It's just one that I found works really well, you can literally tip that thing upside down and the water will simply go into the base and not spill. It's insanely well thought out.
We can’t please everyone. If you watched our videos you’d come to realize that we put our dogs needs first and try to provide her with a fulfilling life.
@Out Of This Van Your dog does look like it has a fun life with many adventures, the GPS and speaker features you were talking about sound amazing, but I do think you should reconsider the electric shock collar. Surely you should never need to electrocute your dog. I wouldn't say anything normally but you have thousands of views on this and might encourage others to do the same.

Small tip for your dogs and bushes you can place pepper around it and it keeps them away
She is so beautiful! I love here! ❤️
I love how much Ruffwear you have. I have some also, for my husky and lab-triver. It's great and strong but very dueable
It’s the best stuff Penelope has gotten even more gear since and uses it daily!
@@OutOfThisVan Awesome.
I did not know they make so many deferent items. We need to buy some bags for them for backpacking
Excellent suggestions! Love your layout for her and really like the tracking leash. Hmmm
Thank you! She’s part of our fam so she had to have a place for all her things. Haha
Y’all said pricey and I was like,
how bad could it be?
I stand corrected
Hahaha yes! It took us forever to finally decide to get it. Just one time of us getting lost did the trick. She was back at the car and I was searching in the woods. Luckily it all worked out.
we have two very active dogs, one large, one small. Really appreciate the tips!
Glad to hear! Hopefully they'll make travel with your two pups even easier than expected! We know how crazy it can be with an active dog. haha
We are starting our van build journey hopefully this year and this was really helpful as we want to be as accommodating as possible for our dog!
Our dogs rule our world, right? Haha glad you guys found this helpful 😊

That is awesome! We've heard great things about that brand. Thanks!
i realize I'm pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Jairo Kyng Flixportal :)
@Rocky Judson Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it !
@Jairo Kyng no problem :D

Haha it is such a fun filled life! She gives us back just as much though.
Penelope if only you knew they're roasting you on the internet. 😭
The hoomans can eat my dust! (Penelope... probably)
Thank you for sharing links to the items!! We travel with our lab/husky mix, I am ordering the dog hair removal tools you linked, he sheds a TON of hair.
Oh my! Hopefully it helps! Even with all our efforts to deal with Penelope’s hair it still finds its way all over the van. Haha
Thank you all , I needed this so bad right now .
Love that there's a list !!! 🙏🙏🙏
Bless your family !!! 💜
This was a blessing for my Dog and My family !! 🐺
Happy to hear the video helped out!
Awesome!!! Seems nice to have a taller van for sure.
I think so too! Always great to be able to comfortable stand.
Thank you so much. This was so helpful.
First video I’m seeing of yours and I subscribed within 10 seconds! Dog + vans + ecollars = perfection
Yay! Welcome! Hope you enjoy our adventures. If you love dogs it should be pretty easy to watch. Haha
fantastic video thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this! Would love to have you as our guest on Yappy Hour where we talk about traveling with pets.
Thank you for this video
Yay! Thanks for watching!
Can you also use a apple air tag for tracking?
Not entirely familiar with how those work but I don’t think they would be ideal for remote tracking.
Great vid
Thanks!
Are you guys still making collars? I’d love to order one from you guys!
Ahh We wish! We need to get back into it. We'll let you know if we start it up again. Thanks

What can I call about collars
Ahhh bummer! We no longer carry the supplies with us in the van. Thanks for inquiring!

"ROAD REFRESHER" NO SPILL DOG BOWL
Neat invention. Looks like a great fix for a messy dog/water spilling while driving.
@@OutOfThisVan It's just one that I found works really well, you can literally tip that thing upside down and the water will simply go into the base and not spill. It's insanely well thought out.
I was with you until you said that your dog's collar has an electric shock feature for "if she's a bad girl" ... 👎
We can’t please everyone. If you watched our videos you’d come to realize that we put our dogs needs first and try to provide her with a fulfilling life.

Is Penelope hunting trained? We have a versatile puppy! And we're looking forward to van life with a dog one day so we can hunt all over.
She is not hunting trained. We just use a hunting collar to keep track of her if she goes after a rabbit or something while mountain biking.
