Spice ,Spice baby.Thanks for the tip-its on the side of our fridge now
wow, look at the van you all bought them, dang!
What makeup do you use?
Great video, thanks for making it. I loved several items that you suggested. I already have the spice rack and can’t wait to use it. I was very surprised at how big the containers were and that it came with the spices. Love the poop knife, screen for the door, rug, and lights. I am thinking about the paddle board … I need to look into kayaks too. Well, it looked beautiful where you were… was it hot? I always wonder what the temperatures are like in the summer months with van lifers because that is where I will want to be next July.
Enjoy Idaho!! I think it is gorgeous there, and the most I’ve seen is from the highway.
You two are just too cute. Just came back from my holiday in Poland and doing my homework watching your last two videos. Love from UK xxx
Love your vids guys.
Regards from Cyprus.
You didn’t mention those cool swag hanging chairs hanging in your van doorway . What is the proper name for them 🤔 🌼🦋✌️🌻🧡
Hi, liked the vblog.. but would really like to see more of the places you are visiting plse
Maybe not telling anything new, but the spay bottle is good to spray a mist on yourself when very hot , with few drops of vinegar in it and will chase the mosquitoes away and will calm the bite if you have any.
Love your videos! You are so inspiring!! Do you have plans for this van build that you sell or share somewhere ? I live in Oregon and am starting my van build process.
Welcome to Idaho. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
I didn’t know how much I needed a dancing monkey.
I would add Castile soap to that list. I use the liquid but I actually prefer bar soap and I can imagine in a van it would be more compact and versatile. If you take it in a shower bag maybe not by you have that ridiculous drawer shower! Its also good for dishes and hand washing laundry, and any cleanup you need on the van! Soap does not mix with vinegar but it is a nice companion when you need a bubble. Dr Bronners is the gold standard and very ethical company that I’m proud to support but a close second is huge 8oz bars of unscented olive oil soap by kiss my face. Its super cheap and effective. I lovingly call it my stinky green soap which doesn’t stink at all but is not fragranced so it’s just raw soap smell.
Also here’s a short list of essential oils that are particularly versatile and also cheap.
1 eucalyptus. For vaporizing if congested , for freshening the air, for sore muscles.
2 tea tree. For scalp, first aid, acne, any candida, dental care, deodorant, household drisinfectant.
3 any citrus. For cutting grease, for energy blends, for removing adhesives.
4 lavender. Soothes the skin, calm blends, household disinfectant, for her perfume. (For guys vetivir.)
5 particularly clean smells for adding to your cleaning products: geranium, basil, lemon, peppermint, fir needle.
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice and pratical ideas, thank you !!
PIcked up a few ideas. Thanks!
Those twinkle lights are a must!!
Fortunately my tiny house has a lot of what’s on your must have list…… No need to dig a hole in my house, "wink." and with hot water on demand, no need for (outside shower’s) Burrrr. I already have a lovely 6×8 Persion rug that rolls up nicely and stores easy. His and her built in led personal light on the bed, 32" TV that with my HTMI cable that plugs into my PC, makes movie night rock. As for the spray bottles, I like to re-use the one’s I’ve bought from the store that already had cleaner in them at one time. The spice jars I had planned to buy so getting them with your code will help you a little. I probably should stop here. Great video as always.
Please continue this channel!
Jesus te abencoe minha linda rainha e este maraviloso engenheiro gosto muito de voce s
Great Amazon products you’re recommending, BUT many cost less from Amazon UK. Why this is could be import tax, but your spice rack is lovely. What I’ve done though is buy some very cheap small jars, attach magnetic adhesive tape to the outside of their lids and attach them to our fridge. Cost of the jars: 20 for £4 and a 3metree roll of that tape, £7.99. I love all your videos, and thank you so much for brightening my life. *Hugs you both*
Not minimal if “you must have it”
Awsome list. I’m definitely looking at the outdoor rug for pick nicks. 👍
Awesome video! No matter which video I watch, you guys always have me laughing. Brittany? How the hell did you contort you body like that? I was in gymnastics in high school, but never able to do anything like that! That would have killed my back even as a young man!
What about an upgraded ultra-light Lithium 12V battery? They last longer and less weight means more payload to haul other essentials! I’d love to collaborate with you as we are bringing one of these batteries to market right now! http://www.ohmmu.com/product-page/group-31-deep-cycle-advanced-lithium-12v
Oh my goodness, one of my favorite videos!!! 😂🥰 you two are so darn adorable!! So many emotions I experienced during this video. Joy, laughter, knowledge. Love all the movie inserts 😂😍 I’m laughing and crying thinking of all the love you put into it!! I’m actually gonna look into a few of those items. Thank you for putting the link. Wonderful and one day if you choose too, your gonna be the best parents ever!!! Seriously!!! I LOVE YOU and I’ll always defend you to any mean people as would a lot of us!!! Biggest hugs sent your way!!!! 🥰❤️💕🥰🌻🌸💫😘🤗
