CRESTED BUTTE VANLIFE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- I came to Colorado thinking that I was going to be able to ride a lot of bike parks. But Unfortunately, there's still a lot of snow In most areas. But we received the best news ever! Crested Butte Bike park was opening this weekend. So I called up my friends and said let's goooooo. Not much convincing was needed, we loaded up the cars and hit the road. We had such a blast considering that most trails still weren't open. If you are planning to go Id suggest to give it a few more days or at least a week so that more trails become open. This place is definitely a place to visit....A beautiful mountain with amazing trails. Thank you for watching and Comment below....where should I go to next!!!

*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers*
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
Although, I just noticed your RUclips channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others RUclipsrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their RUclips channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER*
*vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions.
Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months.
Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle.
If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating.
Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures.
Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks.
Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive.
What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed...
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
*Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
Keep a First Aid kit with
Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration.
Consider installing;
*Mounted Dashboard camera front, and rear possibly.
*Exterior vehicle mounted cameras for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle.
Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights.
*Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others.
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking.
Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you
If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
*WINTER AWARENESS*
I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services.
Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
*Your Safety is Important*
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
*Safety is Paramount*
*Your Life is Important*
*You want to Live to Travel another Day*
*So Be Safe*
*Stay Alert*
*Keep your vehicle gas filled*
Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
*WINTER AWARENESS*
In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc.
Please Be Safe.....
God Be With You.....

We use 3m stick on child locks for cabinets on our camper fridge. The 3m adhesive stuck really well to the stainless fridge (going on 3 years), but I did screw the other side into the wood wall since it didn’t stick to the paint as well. Works flawlessly.
Oh this is a great idea. I will have to look into this. Thank you !
Nice call not drinking while on your break. I learned one day that if I drink a beer at break and go for more DH laps, I always end up crashing.
Love your attitude of gratitude. Super rad.
❤😊
Lawd heather 😍

CB is so beautiful. One of my favorite areas.
Agree!! this place is so pretty
We use Velcro strips to hold our camper trailer fridge and drawers secured during travel.
Thanks for sharing ☺️
Thank you for watching !
Is that Jason Carnes who used to race BMX years ago and was the Redline Bikes rig driver? Teammates with John Purse, Bubba Harris, Kim Hyashi, and Alise Post??? Used to watch him race when my son and I raced years ago. 😎👍
You made it to C.B..... Yay, Im down in the SLV Valley right now , looks like I missed you all... Hope you had a blast✨🌲🛸 ⛰🦋🌲
A Beautiful place to live !
Doing the I70 bike park tour!
RE: Painters Tape
Maybe try baby proof products? There are ones designed to keep ovens, cupboards, drawers, etc closed.
Also I would love to see you and the crew make your way to BC, Canada to ride the North Shore and Whistler. I think it would make some stellar content plus the trails here are insane.
I Have to try the baby proof lock! And I went to Canada last year. My goodness what an incredible place I hope I can make my way back this year too.
Great life awesome riding healthy eats 💕
This is living ❤
Crazy to see Jason Carne's in your video. I have known him for a LONG time. Rode Lance Armstrong's ranch with him Easter Sunday 2011. 🤘🏻
No way that's so awesome. I love Jason. I met him out in trestle bike park this weekend too. Just posted the video. He's so fun!
I think I love Madison 😭🤧
CB in the FALL! YOU HAVE to go...
I have to come back !
Cant wait to go there again soon
I can't wait till you can too. so fun!
Next time you're in Silverthorne you should check out the peninsula there is some really sick Trails there a nice jump line called aftermath and Sky pilot
My friend just told me about this trail. I might be able to check not out before hitting the road!
@@HeatherMunive it is incredible if you do make it and you want a tour guide would be happy to show you around
Gaffer tape for that fridge!
Ill have to look into this
your GF looked very pretty at the pizza rest :D is that ok? haha - enjoyed whole vid and shots of Crested Butte with snow!
Awesome video Heather really enjoyed it. Your Breakfast look delicious unfortunately couldn’t taste it tho 😅 . It’s about time you picked up your boyfriend up and taken Ben out and do some very sick trails together. So looking forward to seeing you on your next adventure 😊❤
haha hopefully Ben can join me on some up coming adventures
Stoked lifestyle ❤
Muy buenos videos hases amiga te felicito
Gracias ❤
I love CB. 401 trail is the bomb. Go down town for awesome pizza.
That pizza was so good !!!
Muy Bonito lugar
Gracias
You could use a child lock for the fridge! A belt style with clip.
I will look into one of these thank you 😊
Just curious, do you ride all trails like that with flat pedals or clipless pedals? If clipless, what brand do you use?
First bike park I rode was CB, and my wife and I got married there. The local trails are amazing
Oh my gosh that's amazing what a beautiful place to get married
@@HeatherMunive for real it was amazing! We just went back up there this weekend for my first Father’s Day too! CB is always an amazing time
We buy our weed in Silverthorne when we stay in Vail. 😃😎
lol I loved Silverthorne
Did I just see the fugitive Jason Carnes in the video? 😮
hahah Yes!!!!! He's the best
You guys didn’t do the epic trail 403! That’s best trail in CB!
dumb question... where is your bike stored--is it even with you on/in the van?
Yes! fig a prosciutto pizza is the bomb diggity!
Toooo good
I just got 2 min into this so my apologies if it's mentioned later in the vid. Is that a new bike or just new bars? I don't remember seeing this one in previous vids. 🤔
It's semi new I haven't ridden it much. Giant glory DH
How much do you spend on eating out per day? Seems expensive with coffee, ski lodge meal and restaurants. Just curious.
hmmm I only eat out when were with friends. I usually do groceries and cook everyday in the van so that saves a lot
Wait, what? You're in Silverthorne? Keystone Bike Park is about 20 minutes from there on Hwy 6. Did your ride Keystone?
I dont think Keystone is open yet
@@HeatherMunive My son told me last week it is open. He works there. Oh well, next time.
You're right. It opens on the 20th. He told me the Kikapoo was open, not the bike park. My bad.
Get a baby lock for the fridge.
I will do that !
I’m trying to figure out how to fit 5 bikes and 5 people in a camper van 🤪😂
hahah When you figure it out let me know ❤
Check out winterpark
Im here !!!
Heather, I agree with several comments here. Get yourself child safety strap locks for the fridge.
After reading everyone comments I think that's going to be my best bet. thank you !!!!
Just ordered some scoops gloves let’s gooo!!
Amazing ❤
Don't ever have kids, they ruin everything lol.
hahaha Stopppp I can't wait to have kids. they can do all the fun stuff with me!!
So many things to enjoy - the riding, the van life, the friends, the vistas, and last but not least - the gastronomy! 🥘🏔🚲
