I never realized how many rv's are at your home base, lol. Love the new window shades - definitely a smart upgrade. I can't imagine Chris with long curly hair!! You guys are so prepared for Alaska and you're gonna have a blast 😊
Yea, my brother thinks it’s a storage facility.🤣🤪 I’ll have to give credit to Chris for that upgrade. It was more like a mullet!🤣🤣🤣
It's so exciting watching all you guys get ready for this epic journey. We hope you have a safe and wonderful adventure and you make a lot of fantastic memories!! Herbie, Mary, & Peanut!! 💯👍🏽 BTW!! Get a spare tire!! Better to have and not need!!
Thanks for watching and cheering us on! Yea, I guess we need the spare tire.🤪
I’d think you definitely want a spare tire for Alaska. Just a note, when I bought a spare tire for our class C, which is a Ford chassis, it was about a third of the price to buy the rim from Discount Tire than to get it from Ford.
We went the same route. Totally agree tires are so much more expensive from a dealership. Safe travels and enjoy your summer.😊
@@oureverydaygetawayI am from BC and know Northern BC well. We went into Alaska last June, and yes the roads aren’t great but then your no travelling at interstate speeds so you can avoid a lot of holes. Myself or my brother never had tire issues, but we do know very well so we both packed 2 spares. Tire shops are far few in between, and if you find a tire shop will they have your tire size. Pack a tire and if you can a jersey can of fuel, maps may say 50 miles to go. But they dont say 3 hrs to go 50miles…. Just go slow and be ready for some rock chips and mosquitos!!!
You definitely need the spare, rim n all. .... and xtra coffee!!
Oh no we cannot run out of coffee!! A spare tire is in the works. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Safe travels!😊
Whoever is in charge of making reservations and planning side trips,for a long journey, needs to be paid!!!!! (One of you), (lol) knows what I am talking about. The hours spent is mindblowing, right? In any event, safe travels and " Remember, any day you can get a "C".... is a good day! Oh....PS: bring a spare and a rim. Get a hitch if need be.
Hmmm, must be Chris.🤪 Driving the class C right now on our way to see the eclipse. It sure makes things easier. Tire and hitch in the works. Safe travels!😊
Can’t wait to follow your trip, you guys are a blast!
So excited to take you guys along! It should be quite the adventure!
Cannot wait for your journey to Alaska content
Us too! So excited for this adventure!
Hey, Spare tire Yes wife NO " joking😂" fly head netting and 55gallon bug spray. In case of bear attack just one thing to remember run faster than the person next to you. 😂 as you go by spray them with bear spray their screaming and yelling will attract all the Bears in the area so you can get away safely😂LOL this has been an Alaska tip
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the Alaska tips.🤪
Take the spare and you won’t get a flat 😅
True! 🤣🤣
I had a couple uncles that passed away when they were young from carbon monoxide in a camper. It’s been probably 50 years so it’s been a long time. They didn’t have those alarms in those days. Bees had made a hive in the ventilation system, they were running the heat at night it was in November in Michigan so heat was needed. Thank God for these alarms, good idea to have a back up. Not trying to scare you guys at all. They have all the failsafes these days. They were 13 and 17 both in high school.i was really young like 4 or 5 years old. I’m 56 now so. As long as you’re safe you’re good.
What a sad story. So sorry for your loss. Gone way too young.
Looks like you’re almost ready for the trip, like you Chris I’m not a big planner fly by the seat of my pants! Tell Katrina don’t let her mind wander in the gutter! LOL😂
Wish we could just fly by the seat of our pants. Would so much less stressful. She definitely needs to stop wondering!🤪🤣 Safe travels!
Can’t wait to tag along on your Alaska adventures, this is going to be amazing!
Fingers crossed it all works out. I hear there are lots of bear!😬
The alaska trip is an awesome trip. We went there last summer with one other couple, we did take an extra spare tire but didn't need either one. Liard Springs was nice. Just be aware of the alcan hwy between Congdon Creek government camp and tok river state rec.area which we stayed at both places. Our gps said 4 and 1/2 hrs. It took us almost 8 hrs due to the road was so rough we could only go 15 to 20 miles an hr. Fyi, we liked Jasper more than Banff. As Jasper was a lot less crowded plus athabasca glacier and falls were great. Safe travels and enjoy your trip. Love watching your videos
Wow, what an Amazing trip you had! Great tips! Ty. Can’t wait to start our travels out there.😊
Getting ready for son and a few friends from around the country to arrive tomorrow for the eclipse. Camped with Mike and Lori at horse show in Shipshewanna this weekend, they might show up for the eclipse too. I still remember the HALF bottle of peach Crown you gave me at the Derby party at their place. 😁
Sounds like a blast! Please tell Mike and Lori we said hi. Chris said it was 3/4 full.🤣🤣
I have to tell you, we had our dog, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, set off our CO detector in our travel trailer in the middle of the night one time. I can't believe someone else had this happen as well. And, yes, it was due to her laying her butt up against it and she did fart!!! We woke up from a sound sleep thinking there was a fire or we were dying of CO poisoning. Until, we got to the area of the CO detector with the dog freaking out and got a wiff!!! LOL Love you guys!!!
What a great story! You guys are too funny!! Poor pup was probably scared to death. Thank you!♥
@@oureverydaygetaway She was terrified!! Anytime a smoke detector would chirp or any sound like that, made her get up and run around. Just one of those great stories you keep with you :)
Thanks for bringing us along!
Our pleasure! Safe travels.
Hi guys! We live in Alaska and are awaiting your arrival! It will be quite the trip. Not many fancy campgrounds up here. Web drove to Ak when we moved up here but didn't do any camping. Had everything we owned in a 24ft car trailer. We have been watching your channel for a while and enjoy it. We also have a Tucker but he's a Rhodesian Ridgeback along with his brother Riley. Be glad to meet for dinner and a brew. We are planning on going full time RVing in July when we retire.
Traveling in a 24’ car trailer…🤔 Not sure if we could do that. Wow, your Tucker is a big boy. Fur babies are the best! We will be posting on Facebook some if not all of our locations a few days before we get to each one just incase anyone is in the area and wants to meet up. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Congratulations on your retirement!
Awesome video guys! No one likes saggy equipment! 😂 I would say definitely take a spare tire guys.
🤣 Spare tire is in the works. Fingers crossed we have everything we need for the trip.🤪
What a duo!!!
Thank you! 😊
Looking forward to watching you and @openroading as you both travel to Alaska!
Fingers crossed 🤞 we don’t run into bear!😳
Tucker is Batman😂
Yes! 🤪
I know everyone has their own opinion but we have a Buddy Heater and we have used it several times. Last year we went on a long trip up to North Dakota, Glacier NP, etc. it saved us from freezing at the places with no electricity. We of course have a CO2 detector and my husband watched a few videos on the safety of the buddy heaters. If you get cold enough, you might be wanting to use it!😉 Can’t wait to see your adventures in Alaska!! Also, a spare is a must!👍🏽
Glad to hear your experience with the Buddy Heater was a good one. And yes, we may have to use it. Fingers crossed it won’t get that cold.🥶 Safe safe and enjoy your summer adventures.😊
We did the trip with our 43ft 5er. Went with 2 spare rv tires (not used) buddy heater worked outstanding with a 20lb external tank. 400w solar and 2 100w lithium batteries. Once in Alaska you can camp on the side of the road. In Canada, it is illegal to do so however with weather as a consideration we had no issue for one night. There are plenty of parks.
We plan on staying at rv parks/campgrounds every 4-5 days so we can shower, wash clothes and tanks. The rest of the time will be boondocking. We have reservations while in Canada so everything should be alright. Fingers crossed. Dealing with a few unforeseen issues at the moment. Take care and thanks for the advice. We very much appreciate it.
It is so awesome that you guys are enjoying life traveling. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming travels.
Thank you. More to come!
Wow guys! You have a great channel! Your videoing of the prepping for your trip is so exciting! I'm happy for you guys and looking forward to seeing the trip, stay safe!
Thanks so much!! Fingers crossed everything goes well and the weather isn't crazy cold. 🥶
Great update! Sagging and performance issues is no joking matter, many rvs suffer from it each year😂. Going to be trying some of that coffee too. Can’t wait to see the updates on the Alaska trip. Fair winds and safe travels Chris and Katrina. Always stay flexible
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Looking forward to sharing our adventures this summer. Take care and have a wonder summer.
You two are hilarious!
🤪🤪
Safe travels. I can't wait to see your videos. 🙂
Thank you! Safe travels to you as well. 😊
From what I have heard from others and family members you want to have a spare tire. I look forward to seeing your videos on this adventure yall are about to take. I wish you safe travels.
Thank you for your kind words. The tire is in the works.😊
A spare for sure .. hands down.
We need to work getting the spare.
Love you guys. Can’t wait to follow you on the Alaska trip.
Safe travels.
Thanks Mike! We very much appreciate it.😊
Chris get the Phillips one blade cheap game changer and I agree with a couple others about a spare tire
Thanks for the suggestion!
The Alaska trip sounds amazing. Can’t wait to vicariously travel with you.
Hey guys! Should be an amazing trip. Take care and enjoy your summer travels.😊
I know I am seeing this video two weeks after it aired, but do you have a current departure date set yet? I can't wait to follow along on your trip. This is going to be exciting. 🙂🙂🙂
We left two days ago on Friday. Spent time visiting relatives in Indiana now off this morning headed to "The Field Of Dreams" location. Thanks for watching we really appreciate it. Stay safe and enjoy your summer. 😊
Good to hear you enjoy the Blackberry Crown - I was hesitant to try it because I was afraid it would be cough-mediciney! I’ll have to grab a bottle to try! 🥃 (Love peach 👑 !🍑 - make a large Apple Cider ice Cube and pour over… it’ll change your life! 😋)
Always good on the rocks. Try the Blackberry crown with lemonade. Sooooo good! Will have to try the peach with an apple cider ice cube. Thanks for the suggestion! Safe travels guys!
From others I’ve watched, items in Alaska are expensive. May want to go ahead and get any “little” items from here. Can’t wait to tag along.
Will be stocking up on a few items but unfortunately there’s not a lot of storage in this little guy. Chris may have to do with his Crown Royal.🤣
Yes take a spare. Repair facilities can be far and few between!
That’s what we are thinking. Not excited about the thought of breaking down up there.😳
Cant wait! We are doing Alaska next year. Going to start south of California and up to Alaska. Cant wait for all the content on your way over. BTW... we should be promoting our channel soon! hope to meet you guys in the future.
Congratulations on making the decision to start a channel! Wishing you guys the best of luck. Keep on keepin on and enjoy your travels. 😊
Great video. ❤
Thank you Judy.😊
So excited for you guys to take this trip! We plan to do it as well but it won’t be for 4 more years! We have been trying to get the BlackBerry but have missed out every time! The last liquor store we were at said they aren’t getting anymore the rest of the year! And the salted Carmel is also seasonal here and won’t be back until fall! I’m guessing by your FB post you went with the spare tire. Good choice! Safe travels guys! Mike and Shelley
Thank you! The Blackberry is so hard to find! Chris has one bottle of both BB and SC. Not sure why he's saving them. Finally found a way to carry a spare tire. This rig didn't make it easy. Safe travels for you guys as well!😃
So exciting! Can't wait for my virtual trip! 😂 Yes take a spare!
Thanks you! Spare tire is on its way. Have a safe and wonderful summer!😊
Great video!
Get a spare tire most definitely. Looks like you are almost ready to go. Love the idea of having a space heater and a carbon monoxide indicator. It’s great to have. You both were funny with the curling iron. You had me laughing. I love the drinks you are bringing. Can’t wait to see your trip in Alaska. Have a safe trip and stay safe.
Thank you! Just had a few upgrades done for the trip. Fingers crossed everything goes as planned. Have a wonderful summer!😊
@@oureverydaygetaway
You too have a wonderful summer.
Alaska doesn't know what's gonna hit 'em. Double entendres galore! 😂
Another great video, Katrina and Chris. I can't wait to see you on the big trip!!!
Thanks so much for watching our adventures and learning a comment. This trip should be nothing but Amazing! 😊
❤🎉
Thank you!😊
Great job ya'll.... Keep on Keeping on....
Thanks Frank!
Ya'll are welcome...
Can’t wait to watch your journey. We are full timers also and are doing the northeast this summer. Maybe Alaska next year
You will enjoy the northeast. There’s some beautiful places to see. Safe travels and enjoy your summer.😊
Good luck on your trip. I you travel through ohio. The state park system is great.As long as you travel though Sunday to Thursday lots of available site and normal may near major roads.
We are heading to one in the afternoon tomorrow
Sounds like a great system you have in OH. Hopefully we can get there someday. Safe travels and have a wonderful time.😊
Yes to the spare...you don't want to be way north and have to try to find one! An ounce of prevention!
Very good advice. We know we should it’s just become a bit of a pain figuring out where to put it. Safe travels.😊
Preparing for the trip of a lifetime can be overwhelming. Are we prepared for this? Leave a comment and tell us what we think. You can subscribe here.............ruclips.net/channel/UCBxZGQHnISDesb9NFM3BsgQ
What about covering the window in the overhead bunk area?
There is a built in blind just didn’t show how it works. Love all the natural light. 😊
Hey you're going to need one of those Norco portable refrigerator freezers man I'm telling you Alaska you go for days before you see a store and you're going to need it's you're going to need some extra gas cans too by the way you want to carry at least 12 gallons of extra fuel on the outside probably put one of those racks in on the back bumper you can put fuel and water on the back bumper and I'm not joking either I mean it I've been up there I know what you need and you might even need one that's a small RV to go in Alaska good luck
Fingers crossed we have everything we need. If not it will make things quite interesting for sure. Safe travels.😊
Better bring the Parka in case Katrina kicks you out of the RV 😂. Just finalized our trip plans there and back and it’s 8492 miles. I mean who is driving all those miles oh wait it’s me. Our border crossing date is 5/25 hoping to find you guys along the way.
I Katrina won’t be kicking Chris out of the rv. Well maybe…😁😂 JK Would love to meet you guys this summer. We’ll be posting on Facebook a few days before we arrive at different areas on this trip. Hopefully you’ll be in on of the areas at the same time. Safe travels and have a great trip!😊
Your dog voice sounds like Kevin Malone😂
😁🤣
If you have no house on the property what were you in when you were talking about planning the Alaska trip with Katrina? We want the long hair, Chris. Lol
The property was a garden center with a building used for retail sales. A small part of it has been converted into an apartment where one of our adult children live. I'm still working on the long hair.😁 He may have no choice once we get to Alaska.😉
love your videos hey Chris I see you like peach have you tried Ole Smoky Tennessee peach?
Not yet! May have to go pick one up. 😁
You guys are great planners. We are going this year also and plan on crossing into Canada from Montana mid May. We have no plans no reservations just going to go for it.
Crazy, right?
I don't know about great planners but thank you. Sounds like the same time we're going to cross. Maybe we'll see you on the road. 😊 I "Katrina" like to travel with no reservations. It makes it so much more of an adventure. Safe travels and enjoy your journey.
Nice!, Great prepping ideas for a safer trip, thanks for sharing! BTW,...I'm curious,..do you need to bring passports? Or is a real ID enough ?🤔, - Jen & Kurt, MN
Thanks for watching! Yes, we will need passports to enter Canada. Safe travels!😊
Get a spare, you’ll thank yourself. And going up there in that little thing is beyond me.
Spare tire is in the works. Oh come on you could do it as well!😁
If you are near Rocky Mountain House Alberta. Would like to meet you.
That would be wonderful. As we get closer to places we will post some local meetups. 😊
Katrina, I’m scared now… I have no idea of dates for our trip hence no chance to make reservations! Boondocking then?
😮 Let us know how it turns out! Actually, I think you should be okay for the most part with boondocking. There’s also last minute cancellations. Have a wonderful trip.😊
@@oureverydaygetaway I wonder if Harvest Host is active in Canada and Alaska!! I hope so. Have you considered it?
Do you own the Maryland property or does it belong to someone else? Enjoy your trip to Alaska
Myself and my family own it. Thank you.😊
Differently get a spare tire!!!!
It's on the list. Just need to figure out where to put it.
@oureverydaygetaway remember to also get jack and 4 way... try putting the tire on the ladder or the roof
