alone in the van (last few days of stationary vanlife)

Our parking space is about to expire and next video we'll be back on the road! Here's a look at some calmer days before we resume our days of having no clue where we're sleeping each night.

awwww Chungus is toooo cute with her lil head at the window

[@nadia6579]

I'm obsessed with these vlogs. Got hooked on the Big Chungus shorts and have stayed for the realistic + homey vlog content

[@thegrimlooper]

I want to declutter so bad and live minimally. These videos give me that feeling for a moment 😊

[@alicewonders9291]

Congrats....on the refrigerator. I am sure it's a relief plus you are happy again! Chungus seemed to love her girl week. What a cute video of her spying out her little window at nite. She loves that window!

[@MsBritishwoman]

Love your vlogs....newly subscribed. So relieved u got a new fridge. Being binge watching so it's literally like 5 videos prio your fridge went out...😅 love your cat. Content is light and relatable to watch. Thxs for sharing!

[@melissahodgson1958]

One of the best places I have found to dump large things is Apartment Dumpsters.

[@Everyyoueverymiau]

I usually don’t like blogs but I like yours 😊

[@nappkins9346]

Never been so happy to see someone get a fridge! X

[@rebornscannon2789]

Seeing how you guys manage space and living in such a small space is actually really helpful to me as my girlfriend and i are in the process of building us a tiny home. We'll have more space than you guys but its always a good idea to take notes lol also he have a cat to named princess

[@ourhumblecommode]

I'm a bad celiac to lol but I usually make bread products with Einkorn flour, still has some gluten but not as much and it isn't hybridized like regular flour. It's expensive though 😢

[@danielson518]

“ 7 days - nice!” 😂😂

[@urmilaramaa3152]

Recipe recommendation Paneer and carrot salad sandwiches You can buy or cook paneer of your choosing it doesn't matter how you flavor it cause it's so good any way, then you make carrot salad with finely shredded carrot, lemon juice, mustard and sugar (or honey mustard) chili powder and salt it's fine if you make it to taste no fancy measurements required put it in a bowl and refrigerate till cold , then with your bread of choice with toppings of choice (mayo, ketchup) you just layer it all up it's great if you add tomatoes and bellpepper too, also great without and you've got a great sandwich. A bit random but it tastes really unique , is my new favorite sandwich and since you guys seem to like indian food I thought you'd enjoy it. Sending lots of love from the Caribbean ❤.

I miss your narrative on Chungus's days

[@jenniferthomas5305]

Love the way Chungus started the video off. Her cameos were great too - purrfectly chill 😺💞

[@parryyotter]

Logan’s inability to not eat out for 10 days makes me cackle cuz…same 😂

[@jenniferd2094]

Yay!!!! New fridge!!! Very happy for you all!

[@gabrielleszafir]

I make KZbin videos in a similar spirit as you guys and omg my cats always get in front of the camera when I'm starting to film. Coming up on a year on the road and omg a fridge makes all the difference! So glad you guys finally got that resolved! Sending love from my little stretch of road to yours! 💛💛💛

[@000luvrnhatr000]

Love y’all! ❤

[@WorldWideCynthia]

Irene Iron Travel has great van life recipes. Chris and Aaron were in a van but now they’re in a fifth wheel. Check them out. Love them as much as you guys and Chingelson Poppyseed. So glad you got a new fridge. What a stressful ordeal for you guys! Trader Joe’s has gyro meat. So you can eat a salad with that meat. Don’t skip the cheese, you can’t get that cheese just everywhere! Can’t wait to see y’all’s next adventure - together❣️

[@mightytaiger3000]

“We have to hide food as we would from a bear” 😂 They don’t call her *Big* Chungus for nothing.🧡

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Great video!

Love your channel! ❤

[@Trish....]

I needed to watch something light, fun, interesting, & adorable (your fur baby), & your channel popped up! 3 vids later, & I'm hooked & subbed! I lived on a 31ft catamaran w/my daughter for almost 2yrs (300sq ft). It was an adventure! Teaches you how to pack well, & think about what you buy bc of little space. It was sailboat + had an outboard, & could just fit in a 16ft slip, so nuch wider than many single hulls. We had 3 cats aboard, but only one leash trained. We went up n down the right side of FL on/off the ICW, & went across the state via the Okeechobee Lake - lots of locks & dams, & tricky. We had only a 2ft draft (space between water line & bottom of boat), & we missed a marker & ended up in water less than 3ft! Sailboats of similar size have 6ft drafts or more, so having a catamaran was smart! We made it - had 2 depth finders tG! We docked all over, sometimes offshore using sev anchors. We could go sev wks w/o docking- solar ran the fridge & everything, just not the w/d combo or a/c. Sun was never a prob - solar was always at or over 12! 6 deep cell batteries was plenty! Just like y'all parking your van, tho, we often had to find marinas, which could be pricey (one in Miami beach was $110/night). Another marina was literally a manatee nursery, & there were dozens! They were silent, tho, & hard to spot - just their backs would rise above the water, so we had to barely move to get in/out. One passed right thru our 2 hulls, & we were so worried! It was amazing. In Key Largo, we were docked & had a manatee come up behind the boat to drink water dripping from a berm. I was changing a spark plug & just happened to look behind me, & hello! It had a huge tongue, & lots of scars on its back, which was sad. Ppl s/b more careful, truly. There were schools of snapper everywhere, & even clown fish, which I remembered cost a ton of $ in fish stores, yet I could grab 20 for free (I didn't). The cats could see them from the windows bc the water was so clear:) Farther north above St. Augustine, we saw nothing but trees, & at least a dozen bald eagles - unmistakable & huge! Of course, we saw 1000s of alligators, often only a few ft from the boat. Pretty cool to see their eyes popping up & nothing else. We saw nurse sharks & giant jellyfish everywhere in Tavernier Key. Interestingly, the dolphins we saw changed color from dark up north to really light farther south & in the Keys. They'd play right beside us, follow us, & come up to the boat- incredible! We saw so much cool stuff, & my daughter was doing high school virtually online. Whole idea was bc public school wasn't great, & the opportunity presented itself (her Dad, my ex, lived in FL, & she wanted to live near him during high school, so he'd drive from Ft Laud to wherever we were for visitation). I understand completely the thrill of seeing new things, & traveling in your home! It's a little stressful knowing you're house is floating on top of water, tho, but the rocking at night made up for that worry:) Sorry so long! I'm enjoying watching your journey:) We tired of our journey, & returned to NC, & 8yrs later we're now living between here & a house in the SW VA Appalachians we're renovating (for forever) to move into. Doing more homesteading things - chickens, gardens, preserving food, sanding floors, painting, drywall, etc. Maybe homesteading could be an in the future for y'all someday! It's exciting, too:) Anyway, just watching while relaxing outside, listening to crickets & feeling the chill of fall. Glad I found your channel! Y'all are awesome ppl, def soulmates, & I look forward to y'all sharing more of your adventures! Love your cat, btw

[@kayhenry6293]

Adorable kitty.

[@laceyjs92]

I love Logan’s “I don’t wanna make a deal I can’t keep” I mean that’s honest at least 😆

[@sfoeric]

No more cheese! Love Chungus. She is the best.

[@errollleggo447]

Thumbs up.

[@Cjskqj]

I was thinking of starting vanlife myself, do you have any tips, what should I think about before I start?

[@errollleggo447]

100$ for 19 gallons.... hrmm.. a little expensive no? Guess it is the location.

[@parryyotter]

Yes. It is. But we have higher gas prices in California due to taxes that go to various environmental protections.

[@errollleggo447]

Makes sense, thank you@@parryyotter

[@1206jl]

Saw your packing video- can you link the toiletry bag

[@terribels]

What's your fanny pack brand? It looks so cute because of all the colors. Also, poke bowls :D

[@Narrowway7]

Cotopaxi 😊

[@kimberlylalley7255]

Chipotle should sponsor you. Chungus is darling. 💚

[@kevinguenther3865]

Dammit, you guys are too cute together. CoMe take me with Youuuuuu!!!! 😅

[@Pancakesnobutter]

Have you ever been to the White Mountains?

[@isthatrubble]

I hope you changed that battery asap..... they can give off dangerous gases when they die

[@paris9474]

What do you be putting on your face? If you have a video link, that would be great.

[@GallifreyLives]

Do you mind if I ask your age?

[@dilanplabanbaruah4694]
