FIRST WEEK OF FULL TIME VAN LIFE | Free Camping & Off- Grid Living

FIRST WEEK OF FULL TIME VAN LIFE | Free Camping & Off- Grid Living

FIRST WEEK OF FULL TIME VAN LIFE | Free Camping & Off Grid Living Canada

It’s official it’s our first week of full time van life. Getting back on the road finding free camping and living off grid has never felt better. For the last six months we have been living a stationary van life, traveling locally in our van and returning to our home base due to the pandemic. We are now traveling further, it’s our first week back to full time van life. We’re finding more off grid camps and seeing more of our home & native land of Canada. In this van life vlog we take our family Crown Land camping to be off grid and spend some quality time together before we depart. We then road trip North where we meet other van life friends (& legends -Lee, King Occy, @eamonandbec ) and enjoy some free off grid camping on the beautiful Manitoulin Island. It’s a great first week back to full time van life!

Our Journey! How did we get here?
We started living in our van full time in winter of February 2019. We drove across Canada spent 8 months on Vancouver Island working, living and traveling in our van. We then started our dream of overlanding Canada to Argentina. We fell in love with full time travel and van life as we carried on through Canada, USA, Mexico, & Guatemala. However, we couldn’t keep going due to the travel limitations. Now on the horizon we are going to be driving across Canada (safely)! We cannot wait to show you our beautiful country!

NEW VIDEO EVERY SUNDAY 9:30 EST 🌞
Make sure you join us as we continue to create van life vlogs of our alternative life style. We hope you’ve enjoyed our previous travel vlogs & continue to come along on this cross Canada road trip!

  16. Chris on February 11, 2023 at 6:46 am

    Hi Vanwives, both of you are so happy and bubbly, hard to stay depressed for long, coz you can’t watch happy people and not smile and laugh along. I like this episode best, catching up with family, your mom is amazing, makes me miss mine, and regret not spending more time with her. Hope to see Crystal’s side of the family too… Also nice you caught up with Lee, Eamon and Bec. Sent my love to all including the fur babies… In the end, family matters the most, you can’t take anything, only what’s in your hearts, I know you’re full and brimming with love. I hope to see both your moms on a road trip. Would be a hoot!! 🥰
    I’m subscribe of course. Also at Eamon & Bec’s and Life with Lee and Max and Lee.. Take care and stay safe.

I just found your channel, I am converting a short bus myself, not sure when I will be on the road full time but working on it. Videos like yours are always an inspiration! Looks like you managed the sleeping well, did not even step on anyone lol!

    Was wondering who does the drone work. Very tasteful. Nice editing also.

  31. Brian Grittner on February 11, 2023 at 7:02 am

    I’ve been randomly watching your videos and I thoroughly enjoy them. The way you interact, the places you travel to, the narrative, and the overall quality of your videos is superb. My best and safe travels to you both.

  32. versedi on February 11, 2023 at 7:03 am

    I didn’t expected to see Lee in this video. 🙁
    Shit turned from fun to dark side of thoughts quickly. What matters after all is the fun you had, that’s all there is to live for.

    Wishing you all the best.
