Winter Van Life and Covid Lockdown Three - PT 4 | Van Life Travels Yorkshire UK

[@robduncan599]

If you are mostly in remote hilly areas winter tyres are an absolute must ! I live in Aberdeenshire rural i only use wintre tyres 24 /365 ! This will work much much better even if you go farm/forest track in mid summer. This is the way to go ! Winter tyres will make a world of difference, but you still need to take your time ! All terrain tyres will work in mud but winter tyres in snow is better in snow . If you decide to struggle through the winter .get new winter tryers in time for next winter? That is my advice, for what it's worth .

[@Krafty]

So cool that you got see some shooting stars. I’ve seen plenty down here in Kent, right on the coast we get a lot of clear nights with so many stars. They pass by so quickly though, blink and you miss ‘em!

You're the same age as my daughter, and just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. You're a lovely girl and an inspiration. Keep doing what you're doing 😊

[@nicroams]

Aww, thank you so much for your kind words 🤗 stay safe x

[@jamesthrush1601]

Driving in snow you need high gear and low revs, flooded roads use the opposite, low gear high revs.

[@walt-sh7ju]

Only recently found your channel and it's great. Winter tyres make a big difference not only in the snow but they grip much better when temperatures are low. This morning I'm setting off to start a job near aysgarth and did plan on staying over in the car park you parked in to save some extra money but chickened out because of the cold.

[@nicroams]

Welcome and thank you 🤗. Aww yes, I'm saving for some all weather tyres which will hopefully make these trips much smoother 🤞🏼. Haha it is freezing cold, I would only do it if you have a heater 😄

Another super video Nic, I do love your down to earth approach to documenting van life.

[@nicroams]

Thank you 🤗

[@julianlangdon3456]

Snow Driving: accelerate gently, use Brakes only if you haven’t time to slow down simply by taking your foot off the Throttle (were you not looking far enough ahead?) and if you’re coming down a hill use the Gears mostly, dabbing the brake very gently & often to keep engine revs below about 3000. If you’re safely holding it in first at 10mph that’s fine, there’s no rush. Drop the front tyre pressures if you’re really stuck (pack a Pump to pump em up again afterwards if you have one). Thanks for the content. Enjoy your travels

Went up the mountain was a bit snow and all good but on the way down in half h temperature droped and was pure Ice covered with snow. so actualy did slide down quiet some distance without being able to stop. but lucky me was no sharp turn on that part as i wouldnt go true and no cars. but thank god all was Good i managed. i slided quiet few hundred meters

[@mikeclare5907]

Hello, Mike from County Durham. Enjoyed the video as per and i have taken to reading the comments too. Here is a snow drive tip. When moving off in second gear as a previous person has already mentioned, ensure your front wheels are straight forward, only when you are moving slowly turn the steering wheel gently. If you start moving with your wheels at an angle there is a likelyhood you may start slipping and burying wheels in the snow and ice. Crack on and best wishes Mike

[@nicroams]

Nic, try a little USB fan for the steam issue. It's better than blowing. haha. I got a couple from Amazon and they re great for blowing out the moist air, when cooking, and also circulating the warm air. You could get a rechargeable one so as not to add to your battery strain. Just charge it when you drive. ;-)

[@nicroams]

I actually got one off Amazon Saturday, I went for rechargeable too and it has a clip so I can just put it anywhere around the van! It will be good to direct the steam towards my window 🤗 thank you though!

@@nicroams Ive just discovered (and ordered) a couple of solar and battery window extractor vents as well. They sit on the top of your front windows and suck the old moist air out. 20 quid on amazon... Bargain, if they work. I'll let you know how I get on with them. I converted a minibus and thought I could get away with just a single roof extractor vent due to having so many openable windows. Nope, that was a fail!!. haha. I'm now trying all sorts of affordable gadgets to help with the moistness issue. Also, If having plants is your thing, there are a few plants that do well at absorbing the moisture in the air. :-)

Trundles through snow no problem. I have the same van and she's been through plenty of the white stuff here in Scotland over the years......although we've had the odd scary moment too so I can relate.

Haha yes, I was using them on snow covered roads 😄. Zip tie trick sounds good though for when the road surface is interchanging 🤗

Cold weather, tough conditions, logistical problems and still so positive. Well done. About the Covid decision the important thing is you used logic and consideration despite what others might think.

[@nicroams]

It's that or have a breakdown 😂. And thank you! Covid has been so mind boggling, would be great if they considered those who don't have a typical dwelling 😄

You're 28, blimey I thought you were much younger than that for some reason.

You need to start off in 2nd gear

[@nicroams]

Will try this next time 🤗

[@jerrysims7900]

@@nicroams When you start out in 1st gear you have more power. If you start in 2nd less power and you can get more traction. Not sure why but it just works.

Is that a guy next to you and he can’t figure this out. European men and their softer sides. Wow!

[@nicroams]

I feel like you're implying that a male has more knowledge than a female... 🙄👸🏻

[@EdTurner.]

Not only that, but also implying it with the grammar, sentence structure and punctuation of a 6 year old European either male or female.
