Chinese Diesel Heater Update || Winter Vanlife on Vancouver Island

[@warrenpeterson6065]

I follow several west coast van dwellers with you included. Your vlogs bring me much pleasure as compared to the others because of the great visuals. Even when you post visuals with little to no sound I can hear what is going on in the background. That is a huge Kudo to you for having such creative power over me. Hugs and best wishes. Please stay safe.

[@dianecampbell184]

I agree. Her videos have a zen quality to them that is soothing to the soul. 🌈😊💖

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Her and Foresty Forest and Vancity van life are my favs.:)

[@EstherLilyW]

I concur.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Does this thumbnail make Trucks butt look big? 😆 I forgot to mention in the video but the heater DEFINITELY helps keep the van dryer where there is good airflow. It’s been great to be able to have dry window to look though while chilling inside out of the cold 💯 I hope you have a great weekend, see ya soon!

[@abeach5420]

🤸‍♀️👍👌 Yeahhh 'now' Friday is way better w/h a new fab share by Amanda & 'the' co-pilot of allll doggos🦴🐾💗 Frankeee I am pulling out my *smoked tofu & rye Wasa crackers* to join ya.

[@abeach5420]

Miss Amanda I meant to ask you ... do you have your fabulous tide wave to alpine mountain sketch/hand drawing of such as a tattoo?? The thumbnail here on my YT page is that of a heartbeat changing to a wave then a heartbeat again. It is the image of the tat I would have had 'so' many years ago IF I had any sort of pain tolerance to do so, haha. I have always loved yours as it speaks so very much to your most genuine self.

Why was your last video deleted? Didn’t get a chance to watch it.

You can definitely tell that your back in your Happy Place!!

Frank knows!!

[@oddanneout]

Franks snoring ❤️❤️❤️

[@karenb1627]

There is something very soothing about being a little uncomfortable. It's very zen to have to put effort into cooking, gathering, basic living . The reward is appreciating ( I love that word) the fruits of your labor. It cultivates a great deal of gratitude. Truck looks good everywhere. I've become a Wasa snack person... Your dad was smart ( isn't he always?? ) suggesting the diesel tank go where you put it. Very nice video. Beautiful you have heat this winter. What a lovely gift and blessing.💜☮🐾

[@tidelinetoalpine]

It was actually my idea to put the fuel tank there 🤫 😆

[@karenb1627]

@@tidelinetoalpine I'm sorry. You picked a great spot!!

[@harleyn3089]

My dog watches your videos. He especially likes the parts with Frank and with scenery. Cheers.

Thanks for another beautiful video! 💕🐕💕✌️🇨🇦

[@dave8k9hohnjmdavez57]

Yes yes on river sounds.One flows 60ft. Away from my bed. Good read is the book ."The River Why". Keep it flowing team F.T.A.

[@spookydonkey2195]

That icy waterfall was amazing! Loved the video

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Beauty !

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

So beautiful. Thank you.

[@scamphound1892]

I love how it looked like you had a ton of floor space….then Frank came into the back! 😃

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Love all the winter footage! The trees covered with all that snow...a view I'll never grow tired of.

[@GreenVegan816]

I got my sticker of Frank a while back and wanted to say how much I love it. Frank's paw print means a lot, too. It really warmed my heart to look at it. It's cool to think that I have this keepsake of a sweet dog out there who I never would have known existed if it weren't for KZbin and you making these wonderful videos for us. Thank you!

[@Chiamex]

Such a beautiful winter paradise! Thank you.

[@mindfulsound2680]

This is so beautiful! Nature is such a gift and Frank's snores are adorable!!

[@michellenelson7899]

Absolutely beautiful Enjoy stay safe

[@TheMadmacs]

hehe the little clink of cups in front of the fire was awesome.

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Haha ya that was Troy’s idea, I don’t know if you could hear the little giggle before but he was motioning me behind the camera to do it 😆💜

[@russellrlf]

For those that hate winter... This is the video to watch that will change your mind.

[@whereswendy8544]

Frank is great. He even fetches firewood! the freshly fallen snow is truly magical ... I have a green camper van as well, '74 Dodge B200. It runs well and I only use it in the warm months. The Island is my home, now.

[@charlottescott6609]

Love the pooch 🦮🐕💯👍

YOU DID IT ! GOT THE CHINESE DEISEL HEATER 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 GOOD FOR YOU ... 💜

[@shesoutthere387]

Your van is so bad ass.

[@moe9265]

Great scenery.

[@GracieandJacqsAdventures]

I noticed that the different rivers and waterfalls all sound different from each other! Man, Frankie has a nose for sniff'n firewood!! And I ♥️ how he gets the biggest sticks to play with!! 🐕😂🤣😂 Beautiful scenery as usual 💚💜💙

[@antoinette272]

Loved hearing the update. Glad to hear. Rivers are indeed different every season - never gets old. Can’t wait to hear about the city. Cheeers to you, Troy and Frank!

[@debscreepy]

There are so many more places you can go living in your van. My 25 foot class A mororhome is limited. Im 60 years old and I need to have a more easy way to live day to day. I m on my fourth year living full time in my motorhome with my little dog Tinkerbell. Love filming our travels. I really love watching your videos! Thank you! I just got back into Arizona after going to California and filming some really cool abandoned buildings that I was able to get inside!

[@Ashlee1985]

Good boy Frank! Always knows where all the best sticks are!

[@pierreajlariviere3861]

Always fun and entertaining to watch your videos. 😃

[@loritowne-culver2506]

Amazing beautiful photography

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you!

[@robertphillips3893]

Be careful not to run your diesel out in your tank for the heater. If your heater runs out it will get full of soot and stop working. Wonderful video. Such amazing shots you captured.

[@domwatts8314]

Thanks for another episode of beautifully filmed amazing scenery & update! You do a wonderful job at capturing your surroundings, probably because you resonate so well with the nature you film. Very glad to see you, Frank & Troy are doing well and enjoying life! Frank is such a great finder of wood I think he may have been a mountain man lumberjack in another life, or a beaver! LOL Be well!

[@balderdashery1]

Chrome from Vancity Vanlife got a better muffler for his heater and it makes them much quieter. Wonderful video! Just gorgeous! Your van never fails to engender a feeling of coziness when your out in the wilds.

[@Airfun101]

I saw that video, looks like the non-branded have no baffles and are very lightweight. It's great to hear real people, real user accounts :) Foresty Forest also had a vid on installing a silent pump.

[@balderdashery1]

@@Airfun101 That's right! I forgot to mention that.

[@sarawarrener2193]

Such a visually stunning video, the snow, the trees, the light and of course Frank💕💕💕

[@susanscovill6817]

Frank will find a stick no matter what. It was nice they covered the fire pit to keep it dry. I haven’t seen that before but when I leave firewood I cover it. That way others can enjoy it. Cheers from Vancouver eh!

[@lkj974]

Some of your most beautiful nature scenes. Winter wonderlands.

[@SweetiePieTweety]

Looking so good so good Amanda! Love the joy shining through❤️ River sounds and Frank snores are the BEST!

I love watching these videos in the morning with my coffee. Such inspiration. I can’t wait for my 9th year in my van. Shopping around for one of those window wipers today

[@flockoturtles]

You capture the most beautiful imagery. 6:22 - 6:25 is just WOW. Thank you for sharing your vision and thoughts. I kinda think of you as a kindred spirit and thoroughly enjoy living vicariously through your videos while I am here in Florida caring for my elderly parents. I can almost feel the air and the snow and the peace. I am homesick for the North and your videos are my cure. PS * You can significantly muffle the ticking sound of the pump by building a little soundproof box around it. You can find instructions for building it on youtube.

[@debscreepy]

I love water Any kind of river or lakes and the ocean are all amazing! I really miss some snow In my life. I started my travels from Walla Walla Washington. I really enjoy your views of the snow without being cold! LOL!

[@bradthompson9400]

The sound of a crackling fire and that of running water are two of the most soothing and relaxing sounds. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into bringing us along on your journey. Blessings!
