Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we’re so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

    Great video : ) I love to hear that soap recipe. We’ve been using a couple different types, but they contain mostly oils and my hair is so sad. lol Take care ladies!!

  10. Maggie's Journey on December 20, 2022 at 1:35 am

    There is a great community canter in Lake Havasu. They even have a water slide. Hot tubs, wave pool. Everyday between noon and 5. I’ll be in AZ all winter and will head up to Seattle in May. Let me know if you need some company. Lots of family around.

I’m still camped on that road if you guys want to stop by and share a campfire. Like I told you yesterday I see a lot of love in your videos and that’s a wonderful thing. Happy travels!

  33. Rollin’ Coal Hotshot on December 20, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Some great ideas 💡!

  34. Hideaway sailing on December 20, 2022 at 2:08 am

    I will definitely be getting the solar shower nemo I like the foot pump because it helps alittle with water pressure . I will be living on a small sailboat it has toilet but no shower so the nemo would be great to shower on my boat

  35. Richard Jubb on December 20, 2022 at 2:09 am

    We used a 12v portable shower that plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. Pipe into a water source and you had a good quality shower. No electric, just use a garden watering can. Easier if you shower with a friend and the watering can doubles up as a great way of collecting water if your hose is not long enough.

  36. Wendy Bauman on December 20, 2022 at 2:09 am

    Thanks for the video :). Would you be willing to share your recipe for biodegrade shampoo and soap? (Hello from Ontario! ❤️)

  37. Kat1791 on December 20, 2022 at 2:10 am

    Great vid!

  38. Abby And Albit ! on December 20, 2022 at 2:12 am

    Awesomeness 😊

  39. Khalid Hussain on December 20, 2022 at 2:13 am

    wow best episode ever

  40. Kathi Foy on December 20, 2022 at 2:14 am

    Lovely introduction, and great recap of bathing/showering sources. I hadn’t thought about using surf areas on the beach, good tip. Another place I shower is at established RV campgrounds for a nominal fee—I paid $6 in Moab in October. Also, I don’t travel with big bath towels. I either use a tee shirt to dry off with, or a bandana. Both dry fairly easily and serve multiple purposes. It was good seeing sweet Bella’s face. Travel safely and choose kindness.

  41. Chef Santa Cooking Travels on December 20, 2022 at 2:17 am

    Good video yeah the bus I’m looking at has 2 /35 gal barrels on top of the bus over the cab part and then there’s a deck with the railing from a pontoon boat anyway the water will be pumped into the shower that I’m building, what’s nice about it is being up high it will help the gravity fed shower and the sink !! . Stay safe, stay,strong , stay healthy ,god bless and enjoy life. 👨‍🍳🎅🌶🥑🥩🚍🚌

  42. Danny Grisssom on December 20, 2022 at 2:18 am

  45. ttxela on December 20, 2022 at 2:20 am

    Great stuff, we use the showers on campsites but we’re not fulltime 👍

  46. Ray Kemry on December 20, 2022 at 2:25 am

    Always save water make sure ya share a shower with a friend.

  47. Andreas Npg Nhmb on December 20, 2022 at 2:28 am

    Really great how you do everything. It is refreshing to see such positive videos. All the best from Austria. 👍🏽☯☮

  48. Linda Tait on December 20, 2022 at 2:28 am

    Great video! You guys are already so much more relaxed in front of the camera 👍Need to see more of the dogs though 😁

  49. Jits into the Sunset on December 20, 2022 at 2:28 am

    Thanks for the video – I am always curious as to how fellow vanners manage without an indoor shower. You guys have it covered though! Please can you share your recipe for your homemade soap? Do you use Dr. Bronners Castille Soap + Essential oils? Or do you have another trick? Thanks! xx Tania
