      @Wendy-palamadays68 That's true. I thought about that when he said it was painful going in. "Think about when it has to come out." 😊

    Stomach ache help - Keep some fennel seeds and ginger root capsules in your van for potential stomach aches. You can take a handful of fennel seeds and chase them down with water OR 1 ginger root capsule. When I used to travel for work all of the time, I made sure to keep those staples. I’m a master herbalist so I’m not just giving random advice. LOL! 😂😂😂

    • @annabellegettingwell1531

      Or get sage leaves from produce section and take a leaf crunch it up with teeth and swallow like a pill. Works every time within one hour

      It's detrimental to your health to ignore a craving. Although, in the case of Reaper, seems the craving was the thing detrimental to Mateo's health.
      Does bring up one of the biggest reasons I chose to stop considering van life...how do you deal with being sick? I remember you stayed at a hotel once, but on the road, sudden tummy troubles...well, wasn't sure I wanted to deal with that without a full-blown (literally!) toilet 🤢😆 Hope you're better!

  • @whoopsydaisy6389
    @whoopsydaisy6389 Месяц назад +2

    As someone who happily drives just over 5 hours for apples, I think 4.5 hours for a chicken sandwich is very reasonable. It made me so happy when you asked if you should do it, then showed yourself on the road. 😁 Keep flying high Mateo!

    "Go ahead, walk around!!"-"I can't even HEAR you right now!!!" took me out! 🤣😂🤣💀
    I can't even imagine!! My brother challenged me to eat some ghost peppers he grew with him. I said at one point, alternating between bites of ice cream and just sucking on the cold spoon "this isn't fun anymore" and somehow our family thought that was hilarious. It wasn't!!! 🤣
    I absolutely love watching your videos every day, and I am so sorry it's got you working so hard 🫶🏼 I would love to see you and Lars every day, but I know this must take a bit of the fun out of adventuring to work so much. You are doing amazing!! Your dedication and hard work are seen, and so appreciated. You have almost made it through the entire December! 🎉🙌🏼 Thanks for providing a place of joy and peace to a crazy season.
    Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year holds for you guys! Safe and wonderful travels, gratitude for all you share, and all the very best from Oregon 🌲💙

    Mateo, I can't believe you drove all the way from Pagosa Springs to Colorado Springs for a chicken sandwich. I haven't driven to the other side of Denver for one of their sandwiches. Maybe now I will. Enjoy the beauty of our beautiful state. It will be interesting to see where you go next in Colorado. Stay warm and drive safe in the snow if it snows. You can use cat litter for traction on ice. I glad you got to see a herd of buffalo.

    I participated in a hot wing eating contest once and made it to the second to last round and people who haven't eaten super hot wings just don't know. It's like razor blades scraping down your throat! It's crazy. This is the second video I've seen in like a week about Dave's Hot Chicken, I have one nearby but haven't tried. I think this is my sign to do so! Lars' cold kitty breath was the *cutest*! Safe travels!
