I love your videos and your attitude! It was a rude awakening for me in March when showers, public restrooms, and commercial hot springs shut down.I used the one gallon water jug at a time dumped over my head method well into the summer. I love simplicity! Just 2 or 3 gallons works quite well! But my whole (van) life is basically a quarantine.So that is a nice coincidence. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photography with us!
Thank you for sharing your candid thoughts about living on the road and relaying the challenges you’ve encountered during the COVID pandemic. I feel as though I was right there with you. Your determination is admirable. I love watching your adventures. Hang in there!
Are you ever scared of running into a Bear on the trails?
Hey, take a look to Kärcher OC3 MObile Outdoor Cleaner…the pressure fits perfect for cleaning dogs, bikes or have a shower (you will love with your long hair). The "plus" option ables to extend the water tank up to 7 liter…in my opinion the best mobile camping shower…for less money. You can buy an used one for 60 bucks. cheers Chris
Stay safe Darlin’. At least you’re quarantined. LOL🤷
Great montage!
Christian schaffer.. I love your videos.. Visit my country soon.. See u in the Philippines.. I am 2 hours away from BANAUE RICE TERRACES.. let’s take an aerial shots there using drones 🙂
Wow. What a beautiful setup. Very inspiring for me to leave everything behind
Safety tips would be great.
Cool
Amazing photography! Thank you! You certainly have what it takes to life to the fullest. A big shoutout from Ontario…….
You inspire me to start living in a van
so if you are solo, who is shooting you?
I would like to see your van. Do you have a van tour video?
Just found your channel. Awesome videos! Is your bug screen purchased or DIY? We’re finishing up our van build and need to deal with a screen for our Ford Transit without paying an arm and a leg!! Thanks.
Great content! Just discovered and will come back 😉 Regards from Germany
This was one of the most incredibly beautiful videos I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I can definitely see why this outweighs all the cons of living in a van during the pandemic. Also, it’s interesting because I’ve toyed with the idea of van life but my goal was to always have a dog with me if I did. However, having a pet would definitely pose additional challenges when it comes to finding an Air BnB or other kinds of accommodation if need be. Gah, so many things to consider. In any case, you should have way more subscribers than you do. Your content is amazing!
are you travel solo
Too cool! I went to PT today! You are awesome!
Wow great photography on the scenery
Very jealous. I say screw living life for the man. You have got the perfect life. Do what you want, go wherever you want. Especially right now. That is pure freedom. Wish you well on your amazing adventures.
Chris did you do your own van conversion? If not ,who did and how much it cost everything including the van . If you don’t mind my asking . Me and my husband are thinking something like yours. ♥️ I like your simple and clean design.
What camera are you using for the landscapes shots? And lenses?
You are doing what I have dreamt about. Thanks for showing that it is possible!
Great content!
You mentioned working and hot spot. May ask what kind of work you do? Do you HotSpot off your phone and just buy more data? Thanks! (one of the things I think about with living in a vehicle)
I thought you travel alone solo.? but……..hmm
Your life is just fabulous 💞💞💞
Im new !
I love ur work & ur van 😉
Keep up your good work 🌎
Thanks for a peek into your world. While nothing is perfect perhaps, your minimalist life has a lot going for it. Now 58 having observed people in all walks of life I think happiness will come more often your way than to someone always wanting more and more with the unending restlessness that brings.
I am glad you safe 🙏
So how has the pandemic affected Van Life more specifically??
Thanks for the videos 🤗 stunning footage. Random question as I’m about to start van life, it’s the little things I take for granted that I worry about. do you find using the dryer to dry your laundry shrinks your clothes?
The safety on the road topic interests me. We’ve had a few questionable moments in the camper so some tips would be great.
Oregonian here!!…Yay!
Amazing views and pics. With the pandemic still in full swing you bring all of us places we cannot make it to currently and hope for the future.
Awesome video
Dang that wide angle lens makes that van look spacious. LOL
Oh man that “front row view” …so epic!!!!
Im so drawn to Washingtons’ "mystic" mnts…. like something out of Lord of the Rings. (Zeppelin’s "Misty Mnt Hop" comes to mind!). Extended family lived there with a cabin near the upper Peninsula rain-forest, (the Sound you crossed?). I was a kid back then, but wow was that a cool place, and we had the family chevy hi-top camper van!! Good times. Need to go back. Ya know..Colorado’s OK …. love Montanas big feel but ..has too many Grizzles(!) Washington tops those in scenery, and not many grizzlies but they still have some. Had a black bear (rarely dangerous) pushing in my tent wall 2 ft from my head at midnight on the Superior hiking trail (my playground), if it were Griz country, I’d been dinner. Thats a nice modern clean looking shower / restroom facilities to use….what a rare find for a campground.
Shower?…Does that sink faucet of yours pull out ?…or that sun shower of yours will do….or several plastic jugs of warm water will do..If so a small inflatable pool,,,,I’ve seen some that don’t inflate they just fold up… to stand in to catch the water and then you can make coffee from it ! or pull it to the now open side door to dump it…
Keep this up please… it was very therapeutic for me.
Awesome you were able to shower! That’s the biggest thing that sucked in the Canadian Rockies: the campground showers were boarded up all summer. But yeah that solar shower is awesome; I put it on top of my van before I hiked and then have a sweet shower after a long day on the trails.
Definitely makes you learn a new set of skills travelling at this time
You ever have run-ins with wild animals?
Classy looking van! 👍 Love the Olympic Peninsula!😊
Deception Pass?
I miss living like that
Anticipate you’ll become one of the premier adventure-hers on YouTube. Be safe!
No shower yet you look so refreshed:). Nice photography???
