I have a doctor who believes that cold and flu season should actually be called lack of vitamin D3 season. Because in the winter it's cooler and we keep our bodies covered up more so we have less skin exposed to the Sun to collect vitamin D3. I take it all year round and I rarely get a cold or flu. Elderberry is awesome.
I believe it! I work in the healthcare field and I’m scanning patients with Covid for 40 minutes and I never got it (that I know of) bcuz I take vitamin D3 for migraine prevention. I really think that helped!
Excellent advice. I have experienced desert fever twice. Once almost like pneumonia. And as you said, it was difficult to find medication near Quartsite.
Thanks Amanda, great info as always. I like that you covered the lights regarding the rodents and coyotes. I already have my grandpas. Just waiting to get the opportunity to use it. Glad you’re on the mends. Stay well.
The first time I went out west I noticed that anywhere my clothes rubbed against me, that skin became dry and chapped: around the waistband, thighs, and so on. It also surprised me, coming from Wisconsin, that everything was bone-dry outside in the morning, no dew!
I laughed when you had to say you didn't want to get political when you mention face coverings to block out the dust.! Thanks for a very helpful video!
This is such a handy video. I’m preparing to head that way from Indiana in the month. Your videos have helped so much, especially since I’ll be traveling with my 2 dogs. Hugs to Wynston!
WOW 😇 Amanda you are a real Blessing … you know your stuff and so kind of you to share your experiences … awesome and neccesary information! Thank you kindly ! I’m sure allergies have a lot to do with those flu like feelings . Great advice !!!!!! Thank you so very much !
at the big box hardware, they have nails of that size. just no plastic thingy to break. so also get a number of washers to fit the nails, (less total cost than the "camp" units like you have). and a large claw hammer. (to pull them back out of the ground.
Excellent video! When I'm dehydrated or feeling lightheaded, the first thing I do is make an electrolyte drink. When I first feel any cold -like symptoms, I take some elderberry syrup. Usually my symptoms go right away and I don't need a second dose. Great stuff! Glad you brought up the info about rodents. If they nest in your car and chew on your vehicle's wiring, it's going to cost a bundle+ to replace it. I have read pinesol also works, but will look into that brand you mentioned. I also want to put rechargeable units with flashing lights and high pitch signals under my hood and at the back.
I bought a 5lb bottle of propane. It last me about 3 months, so I bought another one fore back up. The tanks cost about $65.00 here in west virginia it cost less than $5.00 to fill it up. It quartzite, it cost about $14.00. I also have a 10 lb bottle fore emergencies (-:
Hi I'm sorry if I bugging you on all of your videos but I'm planning on moving in a house with wheels as well and watching your videos is getting me mentally prepared. So when you see me asking questions please just know that I'm asking out of a place of trying to learn from you because I am learning a lot from you thank you for all of these
Great INFO! And yes we travel full-time and always have all supplements, OTC meds, Teas and tinctures for all kinds of things that spring up. My boyfriend just got the sore throat too. It has been so dusty so were pretty sure that is what it is. I always worry about Valley Fever as well. Today over here in Tyson Wash LTVA its a nice 88..... ouch. Tomorrow (Monday) supposed to be 90! After that its smooth sailing..... thank god. On the stakes we found some heavy duty stakes at KB Tools in town. Their no joke and yes bring a HAMMER. Again great video and please everyone keep hydrated.....even in the winter. I keep drinking my Electrolyte waters all season. Thanks Amanda~
Get one of those adapters to fill little cans from big can - sooooo much cheaper. Amazon wanted 16 and I got one at walmart for 8 - it was even the same brand.
I'll be at the Skadden Wash Wed to overnight on my way to Calif. Been using that area for a few years now. Saw Marty there once and said hi. I have a Toyota with a pop up camper on the back. 🤠
I have more of a tent type shower I anchored parts of that tent to my vehicle plus I put my giant water containers in there to hold it down those five or six gallon types
just buy a 5 or 10 pound refillable tank, yes costly (but only once) but you are not making more trash for a land fill. with a post, and couple hoses. got plenty of light, can run a stove, camp fire, or even a heater. i have a very small one i use in my cj-7. mostly only 3-4 trips never have run out and never needed a green tank.
Ty for sharing. Great tips. I'm making a list so I don't forget anything. I'm thinking about coming out in January. So do you think a sleeping tent is safe with possible coyotes coming in close? Or just leave lights on all around to keep them away? And what about rattlers, terrantulas & scorpions in January?
Yes, I do believe sleeping in a tent is safe. I've known plenty of people to do it. Winter is typically when the snakes and scorpions aren't active. Tarantulas aren't an issue.
@@AdventuringWithAmanda hi Amanda, how often do you use it? And when you say the engine bay, do you avoid spraying the engine and spray everything around it? Thank you!
Can you tell me the temperature of Quartzsite during the day and night. I’m going after Thanksgiving and will stay through April. Do I dress for cold weather or warm weather. How cold does it get at night. Will w have freezing temperatures?
I love your content and how helpful it is. I am wondering if you could cover other desert pests. Scorpions, Tarantula’s, Rattle Snakes and other wild life. I would want to do what I could to keep these things from getting in my Van, or in the case of snakes, having them hold up in shady areas created by my Van. I live in Texas but have manger to avoid a Scorpion sting and do not want my first in a desert area far away from Medical Facilities. When you keep food in your. An do you have issues with Coyotes trying to get in etc. I understand you can not cover everything people ask but if you can fit any of these into your content that would be great. No one ever talks about these things so perhaps it is not an issue.

Great tips that I haven't seen anywhere else! Especially about the fuel. Kudos!
Great video ❤️❤️ so much info ! Thank you& God bless.
Awesome advise. Be prepared people.

Great tips! Glad you didnt get really sick! 🤢
Dust and dog hair... a constant for me! Good seeing you and Wynston!!
The first time I went out west I noticed that anywhere my clothes rubbed against me, that skin became dry and chapped: around the waistband, thighs, and so on. It also surprised me, coming from Wisconsin, that everything was bone-dry outside in the morning, no dew!
Thank you for all the good info! Love how you do your videos, how you present well and to the point!!!
I just got here a few days ago. I've visited a few times. This is my 1st long term stay. Thanks for this info
Have fun!

Thank you, Amanda, for this great information. So thoughtful of you to help future Quartzsite campers.
I am glad you are feeling better. Thank you for your always informative videos.
Hi Amanda, I really enjoying your videos. Thank you for your help 🤠😅
You are so welcome!
WOW 😇
Amanda you are a real Blessing … you know your stuff and so kind of you to share your experiences … awesome and neccesary information!

Hi Amanda, another informative video
Great job
Very helpful! I thought of you when I looked at the 10 day for Q. Happy to know you left. That's just too hot!
Had same light virus in Portsmouth UK! Good tips.
Try solar lights they are cheap and do lots of work, if you don't want them all night put a rag over it. Love your spirit.
Yes I do have solar lights.
at the big box hardware, they have nails of that size. just no plastic thingy to break. so also get a number of washers to fit the nails, (less total cost than the "camp" units like you have). and a large claw hammer. (to pull them back out of the ground.

Hopefully you're feeling better today. My niece has had Covid this week and my son a really bad cold. You gave some great tips.
I am feeling better! It was a pretty minor cold.
Great tips. The walmart in parker never had fuel my first year. My second, i brought all the fuel i needed for the season!

Very very informative thank you
I like to use a rubber mallet to pound stakes into the ground.
Me too, but it's not always effective on this ground.
A 4-pack of butane is $6 at H-Mart.

Saved! Love the gear advice vids. #gearresidue
I'll be at the Skadden Wash Wed to overnight on my way to Calif. Been using that area for a few years now. Saw Marty there once and said hi. I have a Toyota with a pop up camper on the back. 🤠
Safe travels!
We appreciate when people let us know they want to come say hi, rather than showing up announced. It can cause discomfort.
Hope you get to felling better soon. (-: I'll be headed that way in a week or so. Most likely I'll camp in Lake Havasu (-:
I'm already feeling better! I'll probably be 💯 in a couple days!
Hi Amanda
Hi Alan!
And don't forget the lint rollers
That's right!
I have more of a tent type shower I anchored parts of that tent to my vehicle plus I put my giant water containers in there to hold it down those five or six gallon types
5 gallon bottles will work, but I can attest to the fact that even 3 gallons won't be enough in the winds we get sometimes.
@@AdventuringWithAmanda LOL did I forget to mention the giant bag of canned goods
just buy a 5 or 10 pound refillable tank, yes costly (but only once) but you are not making more trash for a land fill.
with a post, and couple hoses. got plenty of light, can run a stove, camp fire, or even a heater.
i have a very small one i use in my cj-7. mostly only 3-4 trips never have run out and never needed a green tank.
Many people don't have space for that, or even need that much fuel.

Hi Amanda, are you doing Nascar camping this weekend
I am not.
Poor Matty! Why doesn’t he use the Grandpa Gus?
He does, but I don't think he uses it as frequently as I do.
@@AdventuringWithAmanda hi Amanda, how often do you use it? And when you say the engine bay, do you avoid spraying the engine and spray everything around it? Thank you!
❤
The tool tent has a good price on butane.
#vanlife
While it's in stock LOL!
Where did you get the grampa gus?

There will be freezing temperatures, especially in January and February. Most of January it's below 40 degrees F.
