[@frankmckinley1254]

Good show and tell.👏✔️

[@LorettaGallagher-gv1zx]

Wow I never thought of that one. Thanks, that is a Big Deal.

[@mayam6678]

What a great idea for my workspace in the garage!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It'd be perfect for that!

[@williamley7380]

This is an awesome idea!!! I will definitely use this!!!

[@BobLHedd]

Brilliant. Great find.

[@MeNoOther]

Thanks for this sink tip! I can't wait to start my vanlife. Alittle scared to start. But I have a minivan and everything I need. Thanks for the inspiration

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

You can do it! Once you start, you won't wanna stop. 😘😘

[@exploringnext1111]

Ingenious! Thank You!

[@juliehoot3916]

Omg! Brilliant! 🤯

[@livinright1]

What an excellent and very affordable idea for portability and convenience! Adding a strainer is such a smart idea to separate "trash" when you dump the gray water from the bucket...thanks so much for sharing! Lisa🙂

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks Lisa!

[@CindyCaVANas]

That's brilliant!! 😊 and you can wash fruits and vegetables easily. I like it. 😊👍🏻🙋‍♀️

[@tears-ran-dry]

Brilliant idea! Sure will save me lots of wood working, plumbing and expense. Especially since I'm going to begin my Van adventures in cooler Months -so just for camping until I decide if Solo Van life is for me. Much appreciate your advice and CH. Much joy, safe travels and peace.

[@NicoleDussome]

I love this idea! Definitely adds another storage idea.

[@belindasalinas]

That is a brilliant idea, Amanda. I am going to have to try it!

[@rvanbeau2009]

Smart. Should also add an option of a bowl with no holes to replace the strainer. Using that would be the equivalent of putting a stopper in a normal sink and the strainer is like a sink with the stopper removed.

[@k8k9vanlifeplus]

You nailed it on that geniusness!!!!❤

[@VooV830]

Thank you for sharing Amanda Wynston.❤️💓

[@Maritza_8223]

Pretty cool idea 🌼🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺

[@anointedpearl4879]

Thank you Amanda. I love this idea. It will work great 3my car camping adventures. Heading to Dollar Tree.

[@ladytydi]

Awesome idea!!!

[@MySonsMother]

great idea and great video. I like the idea for peeling veggies and rinsing. And you can always remove the strainer if you need to.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you!!!

[@maryfry920]

Hi Amanda helpful video 👍

[@cathinieto39]

One of the things holding me back from van life is the running water issue. This is the best solution I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@davidemm829]

Very cook. Ty

[@mimitravels710]

Good idea!

[@terrydavis5223]

❤I would much rather carry the 1 gallon bucket of waste water than schlep a 5 gallon bucket to dispose of he gray water. The strainer can allow clean, washed dishes to drain. Good thinking! 🌞🌴🌟🌵🌼🍀

[@roberthanna4882]

Make a Salad or Pasta and leave it in the strainer, the bucket could catch the excess drippings. All kinds of possibilities with this set up. The bucket could be a shower bucket as well or part of a water capture system when it rains.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Absolutely!!

[@CraftingMom64]

This is brilliant!

[@leese.23]

Great idea Amanda! I was already using the bucket and I was going to get one of those big Automotive funnels that have a really wide mouth at the bottom but I like this one better cuz then it'll catch any food or anything like that.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I thought about a funnel also, until I found the strainer! 😍😍

[@Ch1oeW]

Perfect!

[@juliespencer2588]

Great idea!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@k8barkley]

YAY!! Excellent use of products!!! ❤

[@michelleh5727]

I'm not a commenter...BUT Ohhhhh my goodness..LOVE this!!! I'm a vanlifer in a ford transit connect and actually sitting in the dollar tree parking lot as I'm commenting this..... I've been using a smaller bathroom trashcan in a similar way so I already have water jug and pump. This set up will be way more useful.. Thank you for sharing:)

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Awesome! You're welcome!

[@kimberlywentz5645]

Brilliant!!!

[@Bronte-on6tm]

I would only use the bucket for washing my hands since the colander is unnecessary for that task. I very much like the idea of using the calendar for washing fruits and vegetables over the bucket.

[@johnr5545]

Thanks god bless

[@markmcla]

Simple is better! Well done! I sometimes consider buying an electric water dispenser. But I think my 56oz handheld pump sprayer is fine...

[@HypasMusic]

Thanks for sharing, Very clever.

[@65plusfabulous56]

Excellent idea. Love it!!!🥰🙌👏👍

[@dawnsmith4275]

BRILLIANT!!!

[@littlewarrior62]

[@debrabain7564]

Great idea. Very useful for many things 👍

[@Sendupprayer]

Thank you! You are amazing you have earned yourself a subscriber thank you so much

[@karlocarausos4978]

Good idea im gonna do that

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Super creative approach to such a concept in demand! Would love the option to be able to wash things more frequently! Great idea! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

[@Hebrews_3]

Thank you. Yes this is an amazing solution. Why I didn't think of it idk. I have stressed a lot about not having a sink when I was homeless and living in my van trying to do the nomad thing. What a stress reliever. Especially because of cost. I'm on such a low budget.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Glad it was helpful!

[@becalmlivelifetothefullest6752]

I'll try it!👍

[@donnabacon4681]

What a fantastic idea, Amanda! Thanks for sharing!! Have a fab weekend!! 💕💕💕💕🐾

[@mustseevideos7777]

Wowza! Lmao! How did we not think of that already?

[@theacarp6807]

Love it

[@dirtnsmores]

This might be perfect for my truck camper. Thanks!

[@Believe30]

P.S. just ordered the water pump from your link. Ty

[@Knightrayn]

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@reynam5427]

[@MarkMayhew]

Impressive!

[@sick86stang]

Thank you!!

[@Gramma-Bambi-Lynn]

Brilliant!

[@VanventureswithKaia]

I like this idea 💡

[@Love4Plex]

Your are a clever genius.... woof woof 🐶

[@suerop]

I like your ideas. I'm not afraid to wash dishes all together in one bowl, so this won't work for me. But i can see how that is soothing to your OCD anxiety thing. 💕👌

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I don't have OCD. What an incredibly disrespectful comment. I'm just trying to give people budget ideas. 😳😳

[@carolwest6095]

Jeez!! Feeling organized and having a routine does not equal OCD.

[@alanshaffer6724]

Hi Amanda

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Hi Alan!

[@metroteacher]

What’s the purpose of the strainer? Seems unnecessary. 🤷‍♀️

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Keep stuff from falling in, cleaning/peeling veggies. All sorts of stuff. Just like any other regular sink...lol.

[@metroteacher]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda I use a sink to HOLD water-washing my body parts, washing dishes, clothes. Of course I see the benefit to washing veggies, then maybe I’d peel/cut the veggies on a cutting board, dump in strainer, put over bucket and rinse. Just wondered if you had something else in mind. Love your channel!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

​@@metroteacherI don't like to hold water to do dishes. That's very icky. I want it to drain. So this way, my silverware won't fall into the gross water. It's very simple.

[@user2811-h9u]

Hihi .. I am a new subscriber to your channel. You done any truck stop camping?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Lots!

[@beatrice24encanopee80]

🫶🏼🇫🇷👍

[@marycraig2610]

Whats the purpose of the strainer?

[@MeNoOther]

Probably a drain

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Keep stuff from falling in the nasty water like any other sink...

[@nizzle13]

hi there, after 11 months how is it holding up? i’m hesitant because of the negative reviews on the battery life. thanks 😊

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Are you referring to the electric water dispenser?

[@cynthiacrawford1573]

Be better off using a big bowl with a hole punched. Too many holes in the strainer

[@cynthiacrawford1573]

This is nice

[@user-life-simple]

That’s great idea 💡

[@just__celia]

Great idea!

[@laurajphillips]

Great idea!
