4Runner Camping in -9 Degrees (no heater)

- This was the coldest night I've ever spent in the 4Runner. To be completely honest, I was expecting it to feel much colder. It was a good confidence boost to know that I can winter car camp in the colder temps without worrying about staying warm. This was fun!

Were you as surprised as I was that the water in the small water bottle didn't freeze?!
I have a 4Runner as well. Is there an issue with having key fob in your car while you camp in it? Mainly, can anyone open your doors because the 4Runner thinks they have the key fob?
No. A hottie kept it warm.
Yes !!! Wow Colorado is beautiful!!! I can’t wait to move there soon !
@@Hash2009 I saw somewhere that if you put weight on one of the front seats that that won't happen but you'll have to try that out. I would probably buckle the passenger seat as well but I don't know if that would do anything.I have not yet tried it in my Toyota.
I was really shocked at how the water was not frozen as I live in Colorado and during that cold everything freezes!
Doing this is how I learned years ago don’t bring a 0 deg sleeping bag when it’s 0 deg. You will survive but that’s it. You will not be warm. Now I bring a -35 for anything under 20 deg.
Or two zero degree bags, can sleep one inside the other
EXACTLY!!
This. Honestly a 32 degree rated bag is an east coast summer bag lol
Just stay home 🤣
My trick is a kids sleeping bag WITHING a big and tall sleeping bag, im short so it works 🤣
When the snow squeaks when you walk on it, you know it's cold!!
Styrofoam squeak 🥶
The hair in your nose freezes at zero degrees, It's weird and annoying, I wonder if snow squeaks at Zero?
@@keithlints2514 at minus 50 blinking makes your eyes wanna freeze
Came here for this comment!
When I was a kid, I used to love sleeping in down to about 10 F degree night with the window open. We didn't have any heat to the upstairs so even with it closed, it would be maybe 40 F. As long as I had 4 or 5 regular blankets, it was great.
On the other hand, getting up in the morning was pretty tough.
Our farmhouse did not have any heat either. I know what you mean.
Always keep a second car key in your left pocket. No way to ever get locked out that way.
ok
no no no
right pocket
I always just put it in my shoe, not gonna go outside without my shoes
It's common sense. But some people don't have common sense.
I am eager to watch. One I got stranded on a county road in Wisconsin in sub-zero temps. Before age of cell phones. A police office didn’t come by until 5 in the morning. Farm houses were too far away. It was a horrible night and not one I would ever repeat.
@Metal Head CB is still the answer.
Glad you're okay. What a nightmare
A candle is worth keeping in the car, makes a big difference.
Yep it's important to keep some basics in your vehicle like blanket, water, energy bars, etc. Sounds cliche but sooooo important when the fecal matter hits the fan.
@@David-jd5lp Not in the U.K. nobody else would have one to reply. It died a death here
Please always check if it snowed in the night while you were sleeping. If snow dumped and covered your exhaust you could end up unliving yourself.
Wrong., and why.,??? Unless you have a leak., which would kill you anytime., the exhaust will melt the snow it’s blowing on., it’s ok ., dumb people don’t know their dumb
You mean she could end up being dead.
@@thecatatemyhomeworkshe could wake up dead.
This stuff always looks bizarrely cozy. I did this stuff as a kid in weather I pretended was colder than it was. Dude, I was a total hero. Hero of the suburbs.
I remember you - legend
I am 72 years and been doing the camping car small suv without heat for 40 years. Stop at the truck stops for the nite and move on to the west coast from Indiana. Makes me feel like a kid again. The lowest it ever got was 7 degrees. You wake up several times but its like a bear in hibernation.. Motel, hotels ever once in a while but somebodies else bed, creeps me out........Little noisy sometimes but the snow is like a blanket. It simply fun and adventurous. Be careful, it can be addictive.
i have slept in my van in Chicago FEBURARY in 0 degree weather just 3 quilts and 2 hot water bottles , joggers and a benie hat. Slept no problem perfectly comfortable. In the morning i remote start my van and i keep a thermostat in the van once it warms up cozy I'm good. READY TO START THE DAY
If you can have an extra door key made (easily😂) you can get a hide a key magnetic holder or put a key behind your liscense plate. Just put it on a hey ring and run the liscense plate screw through it. I used a screw that could be turned w a straight screwdriver so it can be accessed w just a coin or knife if you can’t get to a screwdriver. My dad taught me that and it helped SOO MUCH! I’m the worst for getting locked out😂😂😂
Having spare key (somewhere) can save your life
I love how us ladies could be sleeping in arctic cold air, but we still make sure to tone and moisturize isn’t forgotten. 🤣
I sleep like that every night in the winter INSIDE MY HOUSE in New Jersey because I cannot afford to put heat on. Granted, it’s not 9 degrees below zero, but it’s damn sure COLD!
Chantel do you have electricity? A small space heater perhaps can help? Let me know I am in NJ and can get you one.
Many Americans can’t afford to heat homes and eat…
How does your pipes in the house not freeze & burst????
I believe you
I live in SJ and can bring you a space heater if you're able to use it. I have forced air and radiator heaters. I lived without heat an the radiator heater worked so well and didn't make my electricity bill jump.
I had a old car with a big back seat I used to camp out in. A flashlight ,a roll of potty paper ,a couple of PBandJ Sammie’s and a book , I was in hog heaven
I was going thru an issue with probation. I wasn't allowed to live in certain places which included staying with my mom. I slept in my car for about a week in February in Wisconsin. I think the coldest night was into the single digits. The biggest saver is to cover your face and use all the heat you are breathing out to keep your body warm.
Doesn't the moisture in your exhaled breath really make the body colder though? I remember someone I knew in the military a long time ago said they learned never to breathe down into your clothing as it cools your body down (sleeping outside-survival situation)
@@bkgdnoize111you shouldn’t cover your face up bc the moisture will cool the body and your sleep system bag or quilts will become wet and cold. This makes is inefficient at keeping you warmz
When walking on Snow sounds like walking on Styrofoam, yep it's freaking cold.
Great video, nice spot and you are a natural at describing what's going on! Love it, thanks.
I loved living in Colorado at 8,000 ft. That being said, Im glad I lived there in my thirties. Im only 50 now, but extreme cold like that isn't fun.
50 is the new 30 - don't be a geezer
Right clothing. Right bedding. No problem. Did -18 last winter in my MDX. A #110 Rottweiler helped keep me warm I have to admit. And it's the first and only time she wanted under the covers. Nothing like waking up to inside of all windows frosted solid. Nice being able to turn a key, and have toasty heat in the mornings. Getting dressed and stepping out is the COLDEST time
I've lived in Tennessee my whole life and am so thankful it doesn't get this cold. I don't remember it ever getting below zero here. If it gets below freezing we are all panicking lol
What month does it snow in Tennessee?
🤣🤣🤣
Yes I live in Tennessee too and but I love cold weather the colder the better I would rather freeze than sweats I don't know I guess it's just because I'm 55 years old and going through menopause I don't know but camping and a Truck below freezing I believe I could do that.
It gets cold between NC & TN - I drove thru a couple winters and loved it
I noticed you wrote your comment before we got the artic freeze in Tennessee ( east Tennessee here) it was 3 degrees here and with the wind chill factors it was something like 15 below! ...other than things like this rare occurrence that just happened, im with you...I panic if it gets below freezing...by the way today is Jan 3 2023 this time last week everybody was panicking!!
I’m impressed that you was able to camp in such cold weather!
I recommend you get the roof cargo box so that you can lower your bed platform. That’s way more comfortable to move around
A DUHLE
Beautiful camping experience in that lonely snowy town! Loved watching it.
Your a real trooper! I admire you tremendously. ❤️
Wow!!! Can't believe you did that. Im glad everything went ok. You're Amazing!!!
Beautiful scenery... love Colorado
I live in Denver and have a somewhat similar setup in my 4Runner, although I don't live in it. I sleep on a 3" trifold memory foam matress with my Dometic 45 fridge in the back and camping gear bins. There is a massive difference when I use Reflectix vs when I don't -that stuff is incredible for blocking the heat loss from all that glass. Stay warm!
Hi neighbor, I live in Denver also.😊❤
Colorado looks spectacular. The mountain are amazing.
Great vlog💗
the coldest i slept while camping was 32F. I felt like I was actually not going to wake up in the AM, nothing felt warmth. I *thought* I dressed layered enough but wow the bitter cold breaks through everything.
The key isn't layering when laying down to keep warm, like you need to do while standing up. The key to keeping warm while sleeping is insulated pad and proper rated sleeping bag/quilt. If those items are rated properly (plus another 10F for saftey) then you can literally sleep naked and stay toasty.
Good video, I'm impressed 👍
My wife and I were renting a trailer for a short time. During a freezing 28 degree windy night our furnace went out. I did everything I could to get it working and called the landlord over 10 times. I found a small space heater and held my wife tighter than ever before. Absolutely no, I didn't sleep lol, at all and froze all night listening to my wife snore. I remember thinking how people are able to sleep being that cold plus not sleeping in your normal environment.
I have trouble sleeping in motels and most places that aren't my bed to be honest. Anyways I believe it is a talent
Edit: I wanted to clarify we were only renting the trailer for a few months while our apartment was being updated. We went to a Cracker barrell at 6am waiting for the landlord to call us. He was remorseful and fixed same day.
Because they are headed to HYPOTHERMIA. Be careful..😮
It really is a 'talent'. Or some people simply can sleep anywhere. Guess we're more complicated than that. lol
I hope that night brought you two really close to each other. When you will be old that's the memory you can cherish upon.
She's the female version of Maverick keep on truckin kid on CZcams 👍 both of them are adorable.
Yep
Just stumbled upon your channel & this video.& I am amazed ,& shocked how well you managed with negative nine degree temps. And being able to remain so positive!! I myself am from Michigan , so we get pretty cold winters usually ,& it can drop down to negative temperatures,& I personally dread every winter living in Michigan & because I rather have 60-70° temps all year long ! But holy crap this is so amazing to me ! You are amazing !
You need to go to San Diego, California for 70° sunny year round.
Great info! I’m in Minnesota, and have really been wanting to try this. Thanks for the ideas! I know my ancestors were Blackfeet and Swedish and they survived, before indoor heating. It still amazes me, how people come up with ways to do this. ❤
In northern Scandinavia (well above the Arctic circle) people still have fun winter camping with no heating, trust me 😎 Knowing how unforgiving that environment is, l absolutely admire your Scandinavian ancestors. l actually find it hard to believe that they managed to survive... it truly is incredible.
Animal skins are VERY warm.
I live in Alaska, outside of Anchorage, and plan on living in my Tacoma this winter. Enjoyed your video and gave me inspiration. Continued blessing to you ;)
good luck my friend.
Tacoma is too small for comfort, I tried. Get a box trailer to tow along, plenty of room to stand up and cut a hole for a woodstove...
The great thing about Anchorage is that on a clear day, you can see Alaska from there.
Either shipping the front passenger seat off to a trusted storage spot or folding it into a rooftop cargo box will triple the amount of available interior space and provide unlimited options for setting up work areas.
Having ample room to stretch out for changing and crawling out of bed is an absolute game changer! Comfort is key. When living the detached, nomadic, minimalist, self-reliant life, if the mental health gets strained, the physical health quickly becomes unsustainable.
Just have to resist temptation to fill that extra space with wasteful clutter.
I put rear passenger seats in my house. More Yukon sleeping room.
Absolutely, you got spectacular view along the way! Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Cool set up! Love cold camping
Back in 2011, we were the second vehicle (a 4Runner) in a convoy of three 4Runners and one Ford Ranger. We were travelling from one river valley to another but instead of taking the longer valley route, we took a backcountry track across the mountains because our guide (in the lead car - the Ford Ranger) insisted it was shorter and that he had taken it several times. Unfortunately, we were gradually enveloped in a thickening fog and I think we ended up going in circles on the top of the mountain. So, we stopped for a while, while the lead car went ahead to scout for the route. That is when the snow blizzard started! Soon, it became clear that we would be stuck there the night, and to top it all, we had no idea where the two other 4Runners were. All vehicles were fitted with walkie-talkies, i.e., 2-way radio transceivers, but under those weather conditions, there was only static. Finally, we got through to the lead vehicle, whose occupants informed us that they too were stuck and were bedding down for what was to be a long, cold, dreary night. We all wore winter gear and had two quilts in our 4Runner that we shared among the 5 of us. By 2 a.m., the outside temperature was -15 degrees celsius and our extremities were beginning to feel bitterly cold. By 4 a.m., the outside temperature was -20 degrees celsius. We could have switched on the powerful 4Runner heater but we didn't want to run out of power in the middle of nowhere. It was around that time that horsemen came from a nearby village to offer us warm food and tea. Unfortunately, chilled and worried as we were, we took them to be thieves and lay as still as possible till they left. They returned at the crack of dawn, but this time we could see better who was approaching. It is then we found out the 4Runner was submerged in a thick layer of snow. It took us nearly two hours to dig ourselves out of it, which we took by turns. With the others taking their turn to dig, I went looking for the lead vehicle and found them submerged in even deeper snow. We helped them out too.
Unfortunately, we were unable to find out the other two 4Runners. But the horsemen assured us that they would keep looking for them and insisted we go on our way, lest the weather turn bad again. Even so, the track was awful and it took us several more hours before we reached the first point of civilization in the river valley we were headed to. Then, we sent a rescue vehicle up the mountain to look for the remaining two vehicles. Unfortunately, that rescue vehicle broke down somewhere along the way, owing to the steepness of the track. In fact village folk had a tough time believing we drove across the mountain, apparently nobody had attempted it in a motorized vehicle in 20 years! ... don't know what our guide had been smoking when he assured us he knew the way and that the track was well travelled....finally, it was the very same horsemen who had so kindly brought us warm refreshments who rescued both the two remaining 4Runners and their occupants as well as the rescue vehicle and its trapped driver! It turned out that one of the two 4Runners had unknowingly parked half in a ditch in the foggy night, as the snow was thick and compacted. In the morning, the snow had thawed and the vehicle fell totally to one side! The ditch being lower than the track, the vehicle lying to one side had failed to be spotted the first time the horsemen passed near it....anyway, they were finally found and rescued!
What a story! Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Ram Mony - so, what became of the guide? didja' kick him in the pants...
@@z-z-z-z On the way down the valley, he quietly exited from the scene.... the story did make the rounds among local villages, though, so I'm sure he must have drawn some flak later...
@@RamPMonyPers that's a movie right there. Glad you made it.
Donner party would like a word
Thanks for sharing. Totally shocked that the water was not frozen. Loved how well your insulation panels worked! Definitely going to make those up for mine.
That scenery is beautiful
Purchased my first 4runner and this was very inspiring.
My first new car was a 2.4-liter, 4-cyl '88 4Runner and I had it 15+ years. That car would go about anywhere and with some sleeping pads/blankets was very comfortable to overnight in. Enough room for a stove and box of food for a 2-3 day trip away. and so many great trips! Put the motel-fee in the gas tank and keep driving :-) 2+ years of Corona-stuck-at-home and the itch is on and I'm looking forward to getting out and exploring again. Keep travelling and sharing--good inspiration!
This is obviously much colder but there's no better feeling than climbing into bed when your room is freezing.
Yess
Thats why i love winter, being cosy and warm is the best.
I admire your courage!
Loved this vid....while watching this- rain was falling here in the caribbean an i was snuggle up under my blanket enjoying the content🌧🌩🇹🇹
Good for you. I’ve always wanted to car camp. Have not tried it yet.
Great video, beautiful landscapes!
Consider getting a wabaso diesel heater you can mount in the rear side wells and exhaust out the back via a hole you drill in the floor. Don’t forget to use auto move seam sealer top and bottom. Did this in my 4runner and now you have zero issues and you will actually need to crack the windows do to it being too hot😂. Cool vid and good luck in your future adventures.
I was and am worried for you. I also am happy that you are so confident and happy with your trip.
If you're out in the Utah area Matt's off road recovery can pull you out in a pinch! I've followed him and its pretty neat all the stuff him and his crew have recovered. Also I own a rav4 and Toyota is honestly the best in Colorado. Good choice!
Wow... that sleeping bag kept you warm. I'm saving to buy a van and I cannot wait to sleep in areas like that. I am buying the things I need right now. Thanks for all your tips on sleeping in your truck.
Colorado is the most amazing place I've ever been. Going to come visit the Poudre and Roosevelt this summer. Can't wait. Family has a cabin on the canyon, but I'm going to go camp the wild up high this time. Have been longing for it.
I did Sub-Zero temp in DE, AZ, UT and MT. Everything was solid ice inside and outside and Good sleep bag is a big MUST!!!!
I live in florida, I couldn’t imagine doing this lol 😅I freeze at anything below 70
Putting up the reflective stuff, automatically made it more , well, cozy ❤ ☀️
Very nice video looking forward to seeing you in some more camping situations. Stay safe and Aloha 🤙🏾
"Time to motivate myself" that's alot.of motivation so cold
I have a subzero sleeping bag and a big huge down blanket . I use half the blanket on the bottom and flip the top over and I’ve never gotten cold overnight . Excited to watch this video .
I only have respect and admiration for you girl , good luck going forward.😊
As a much younger guy, I had stayed 2 winters in my van I converted to a camper, here in AK. You are correct, the experiences you live now, will be great memories in your mind ! 💕😘😘👍👍
Nice video, and very helpful. You are brave to light up that stove in such tight quarters! I'm paranoid about air, I guess; I would probably also have cracked the moonroof in the night just a smidge or something. Be aware that, if you had had real wind and/or snowfall, the situation would be considerably more hazardous. I've lived near Fargo, ND for forty years; the wind will kill you. All in all, a great experiment. I haven't yet seen a car camping show where someone was so restricted to just the space in the car. Very helpful.
Enjoy the journey! I remember when this kind of thing was fun. You will have fond memories looking back if you decide one day that sleeping in an icebox no longer suits you 😉
OUCH! Many love the lifestyle...she will probably get a diesel heater one day.
@Brendalicia Turn's Musings Homelessness is overrated
The real problem is after sleeping with no heat, you don't like sleeping in a heated area, with no fresh air. I need 2 open windows and the door closed.
i want stay same place ,,i love that dear
Such a beautiful area
I took the old times train up to Silverton from Durango some years ago. It was summer, and in Durango it was like 60's or so. It was lightly snowing and very cold in Silverton! BTW, if they still do that train ride, it is well worth doing, beautiful!!!
love your videos. Can't wait to see what you have in store for cold weather camping.
Fun, fun stuff 😆 Thanks for tagging along on the adventures!
You are so lovely. Thank you for this video. I moved from Northern Michigan to Denver 11 years ago. That crunching sound of snow and cold almost made me homesick. I love what you're doing. I wonder where you are now.
That was so nice, I loved it. You're very brave😅 👏 ❤️
Woo! Wash U, St. Lou!!!! Nice part of the vid seeing my hometown represented even in a small way. I live in San Antonio now, but always get excited when I see "St. Louis" anywhere. Great braving the frigid weather in an unheated car. Brave and VERY brave.
Do this all the time during snowboarding season.. well except I have a diesel heater to keep my Land Rover 70 degrees. Even with the canvas top up. You are a champ lady! Keep at it.
@Eljah Carter I have a Porta potty. Fits well inside and has never smelled.
I did an '04 4runner for 2 years before buying a Transit 350. Can't say I miss it🤣. Still have the 4runner and still do weekend trips to the mountains in it, but the 350 for work is hands down the way to go when you're a traveling musician.
My only issue sleeping when it is cold is that my nose gets cold. I just cannot wrap up like a full burrito bc I get claustrophobic. I love this life.
Que lugar lindo parabéns 👏 show mais muito frio
I love my 4runner. I love camping in my 4runner but, I despise the cold. :) Still, that 6:00am view of the mountains. Gorgeous! More power to ya'!
I'm thinking of going a night to the mountains to try it out. I have warm sleeping bags & a Subaru Outback. I'm old compared to the rest of you probably.
@@colleenowens99 I'm 60 my 14yr old son and a Border Collie and a Jack Russell roam all over Colorado in a 3rd Gen 4Runner. Have for the last 8yrs. My 4Runner( 21 yrs old) set up for it. Seen some incredible sun rises/sun sets/ storms and stuff that just makes you say WOW .
And when you pulled out is was two hours earlier. Someone is a fraud
Carl Jacobus The view in the warmer months are just as gorgeous. I never liked the cold either though I grew up in a cold climate ( like it is right now 16*, 5* tonight) I've been to Silverton and places like Leadville etc and it is beautiful country but at my age it'll be Jun to Sept when I visit. Just wish my daughter and grandkids didn't move from Co to SC as I head into my SUV ( Toyota used 4 runner purchase on Monday) rving retirement travels,
Can a 6 foot person sleep comfortably in the back?
Just found your channel and no way I could do that! Beautiful country where you are.
Now that's what I call living life 👊🏼
Enjoy the journey
I subscribed!! ♥️ I think you inspired me to do solo camping. I don't have friends so this might be a great alternative on the weekends for me.
I too choose to be friendless!
@ Lauren
Where are you? Are the temps as cold in this video? Risky
Wow, way to go. Some folks use sleeping bags that are good to -30°. You really did this, that took courage, intelligence and creativity. Thank you for sharing this with the public, it may save lives by getting folks prepared for a stranded vehicle or who knows what life situation. Hats off to you.
That's exactly what I'm thinking and why I'm taking notes!
she has a 15 degree quilt and she stated in the video that she had two, and the one she linked costs $460 lol
There is absolutely nothing intelligent about it, that takes guts to do what she did that night.
@@cccro6228she did it to get hits and money !
oh good old Silverton!! woohoo! can’t believe you drove there in winter without snow tires. I was just there in August and we got a little bit of snow and an epic rain and light night storm that made the million dollar highway up to Ouray impassable for a brief while. Silverton is over 9,000 feet.
If it gets too cold you can always go down to Durango which is a great town, way warmer as it’s a few thousand feet lower.
Good to seeing your vlogs 💚💚
Thank you for sharing this video. Way to go! We should always be prepared in our vehicles. Water, tea, protein bars, portable water boiler like yours, and window shades, and heavy blankets. You even told someone where you were. Good planning. Thank you for sharing.
It is good to be prepared just in case.
I’m actually getting cold just watching this. It’s 91 degrees in Colorado right now!
I wished that I could have commented earlier. That Colorado weather is something different. Did it drop to 30 the next day??😁😁😁
I would feel very uncomfortable . your endurance is amazing wow!!!
Way to go girl! I'm glad temps are in the high teens here in Connecticut tonight. I'm not as tough as you but my van has the same Yeti thermos (not in pink though)!
Just subbed.
I sleep in my 2018 runner all winter and the reflective window screens make a Big difference with the interior comfort at night. Also I try to keep at least one window cracked for venting humidity. Happy trails
Insulating the windows and windshield are a good idea to keep heat in and cold out. Good luck, I subbed. Stay safe.
You're a trooper girl well prepared.
wonderful place.
Cold all right, I always like to wait till the sun comes out before I get up.
I'm so jealous of your 4runner it's the exact same one that I always wanted and still want haha! anyways just found your channel and love it! brand new sub here👍
Just found this video and was really enjoyable to watch, thanks for posting and I subbed take care!
Grace use some petroleum jelly (lip balm) and apply it to the weatherstripping for it wont get stuck shut in this kind of weather
You... are an absolute legend for this comment. I will be doing this from now on! THANK YOU!
Alaska here, silicone lube spray will work on all rubber to keep it from sticking. Works like a charm down to -40.
I spray it during the first frost, works through the whole winter
Petroleum jelly degrades rubber. Silicone is the way to go.
The human spirit n desire n will always keep ur adventures going..no fear...it's all about planning....
Thanks for sharing your experiment. How much water was released when the frost melted and how did you deal with that?
Been there! In the same vehicle! Good for ya!
I really appreciate this video you made, as heating my 5th wheel with propane is expensive. Thank you!
I converted my Jeep Renegade into a little car camper and I too slept in it at -8 degrees one night without a heater. It was my first night trying out what my limits were for winter camping and what to modify if necessary. The next morning there was frost everywhere, but my water bottles were frozen. It sounds awful but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I found, oddly enough I enjoyed sleeping in the colder weather.
The best way is have a window cracked for less frost and more ventilation, and a cooler will keep things from freezing:)
Why wouldn't u just turn the heat on in your jeep? Makes no sense
@LITMOVIESCENES it makes complete sense when you're trying to stealth camp. Nothing says stealth like sleeping in a running vehicle. Hence the statement "trying out what my limits were for winter camping"
@keithlints2514 Luckily, I learned that, lol. Great advice, thanks! 😊
just subscribed to your channel on today October 14 / 2022, love the Channel, Camping in the Coldest weather temperatures, I wouldn’t have been able to do it, but i’m so glad that you managed it without additional heating , thumbs up and thanks for sharing your experience with us.
really impressed
Loved this video, way to go girl! ❄️🥶 New subscriber here! 💙
Thank you Brooke!!
