VAN LIFE with pets can be DIFFICULT

VAN LIFE with pets can be DIFFICULT

Hola Amigees!

We’re about to head out of east Tennessee and make our way into western North Carolina. We’re starting to see the effects of the pandemic in certain places more-so than others. With this, we’ve also noticed some places appear to be operating exactly like they did before, and viewing people in masks is almost as rare as spotting bears in the wild.

This week we shed some light on the realities that our beloved dogs can’t always go with us for the fun. We can responsibly leave them in the van, much like you’d leave pets at home while you’re away. It just takes some good old common sense and planning.

Life is good.

    We traveled to Gatlinburg over the summer, and the same thing happened to us, when we were looking for the spruce flats falls trail. We found and hiked the middle prong trail instead. It was gorgeous, and easy. I think it might be a horse trail. The next day we went back and found spruce flats falls. It is on the same road, but closer to the entrance of the road. The falls were really pretty, but the trail wasn’t easy. It was pretty sketchy in some places and everyone in our group fell at least once. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

    Me gustan como son de Venezuela

  3. Monkey’s Mom on July 31, 2022 at 2:25 am

  4. Simon Jones on July 31, 2022 at 2:25 am

  7. Travis Corriher on July 31, 2022 at 2:29 am

    NC started some great new mask laws on Wednesday, you should feel safe there (I live just across the border in SC). My van is almost ready, electrical is done! Just have to set the cabinets!

  8. Marius Pislaru on July 31, 2022 at 2:29 am

    Hello from Romania🇷🇴🙋‍♂️ Guys are you homeless? why you don’t live in a house ?

  9. Tanya Jones on July 31, 2022 at 2:29 am

  10. John Lee on July 31, 2022 at 2:32 am

  14. Joyce McCauley on July 31, 2022 at 2:36 am

    Yay, you got to see the elk!!! It looked amazing!

  15. Winnie A on July 31, 2022 at 2:36 am

    Try out upstate South Carolina there are lots of mountain trails and great sites. Like the Pretty Place Chapel, Caesars Head and Bald Rock. Also Lake Lure in NC is cool.

  16. BENEDITO CRISPIM on July 31, 2022 at 2:37 am

  17. GREEDY ebk on July 31, 2022 at 2:38 am

    I would love to visit some of these spots you guys have been stopping at. Just to sit and think how life used to be 100yrs ago. Soo much history at the schools and church’s. Just sit and think of how life used to be without phones and internet.

  18. kelley wimberley on July 31, 2022 at 2:41 am

    Yeah! NC is my home state so Welcome to NC

  19. shyla pacardo on July 31, 2022 at 2:45 am

    9 elks.

  20. Angela and Glenn on July 31, 2022 at 2:45 am

    Beautiful scenery for hiking. We have always been amazed when visiting North America and Europe how many places such as national parks or even hotels that you can take dogs to.
    Dogs not allowed in any National Parks in Australia and also many state parks and nature reserves and definitely not in hotels.

  21. Dawn Devereux on July 31, 2022 at 2:46 am

    So good. Love the elks at the end. Have a wonderful week everyone.😊

  22. Zoe Nell on July 31, 2022 at 2:47 am

    maria we cannot have that many shots we won’t be able to finish the video 😂😭😭

  23. Angel Pereira Alvarez on July 31, 2022 at 2:47 am

    Holaaa, me gusta vuestros videos, pero me gustaría hacerles una crítica constructiva, y si ponéis subtítulos en Español, soy venezolano y vivo en España y mi inglés es del 10% 🤣, y a veces no me entero de nada, como lo veis?? Saludos

  24. Sheila on July 31, 2022 at 2:51 am

    Loved everything about this video! Thank you so much for sharing this adventure. And thank you for emphasizing environmental and health responsibility:) 🌈 ☀️

  25. Christina Sparks on July 31, 2022 at 2:55 am

    Love the smokies! Wow, I’ve never seen elks!! So beautiful!

    I love you guys, I respect your choices to do what is right for you, but I just wanted to let you know that in Florida masks are not required, so, just FYI. 💗

  26. KK Van Pelt on July 31, 2022 at 2:56 am

    caught him bugling

  27. Kaltrina Demiri on July 31, 2022 at 2:56 am

    What a fun video, I have seen Elk up close before and they are amazing creatures. Would love to see bears too but I think I would be too scared lol

  28. Rose Wardale on July 31, 2022 at 2:56 am

    I counted 9 Elks mentioned from when you mentioned it😆 But lost concentration because of seeing the bears! Gorgeous video xx

  29. Felipe Roehe on July 31, 2022 at 2:56 am

    Love seeing you guys’ adventures!

  34. Lacey Lynn on July 31, 2022 at 3:04 am

    Fort Myers beach Florida is a must for y’all!

  35. John Lee on July 31, 2022 at 3:04 am

    Next time you take middle prong there is a y at the very beggining if you go to the right its a much more scenic route. More water and falls and cascades.

  36. Deeserving1 on July 31, 2022 at 3:04 am

    Hey beautiful people, im jealous. Ive been going to the Smoky Mountains for the past 20yrs for my b-day and have never seen a bear😞 they’re so darn cute😊 love your channel and amazing views💕 stay blessed

  41. Dawn the OG on July 31, 2022 at 3:10 am

    Your dogs are so well behaved. If mine saw me open the door after being gone those water and food bowls would be spilled all over the place.

  42. Alyssa Terzo on July 31, 2022 at 3:11 am

    Your hair is adorable like that, MariaJose! (Your hair always looks nice, too, Chase!) 😀

  43. katiebug1957 on July 31, 2022 at 3:11 am

    Ok, so come on down to SC and visit Oconee Cou ty, the home of (count them) 17 (i say 11, but my husband disagrees) waterfalls! While you’re there, come about an hour south and visit us in Anderson! Love to see you…

  44. Adam Shaiken on July 31, 2022 at 3:13 am

    I don’t drink…though, I’ll gladly take a bong hit instead !!!, and I told you before that I love your accent. So, "elks" it up !!!

  45. Wavia MP on July 31, 2022 at 3:16 am

    New subscriber from philippines! Looking forward to your next videos! Loving your videos so far, very calm and relaxing. Keep it up guys! You deserve a million subs! 👍🗣🔔❤

  47. John Lee on July 31, 2022 at 3:16 am

  48. TravelnGeek on July 31, 2022 at 3:22 am

    We were working on our van today and hope to explore North Carolina. We have lived here for five years and there is so much to see from the beaches to the mountains!

  49. alex ego on July 31, 2022 at 3:23 am

    10:53 Hope, he cleared up the poop after the dog…))

  50. Donny T on July 31, 2022 at 3:24 am

    Nope. Choose a trail you can bring your dogs on. Nope nope. 😓
