Thank you! 🙏

I totally agree! So much better than so many nomadic channels I’ve followed for years. The only one I’m watching now. Rock on

[@veemiller9325]

I think I remember last year(?) when you (?) were loading up your car in your Grandma’s driveway. You drove to a park not very far. If that was you, I recall thinking that “the road” is going to eat this poor girl alive. If that was you, then you’ve come a way baby!!! So much more self assurance and esteem. You are your own person now. If so, I’m very proud of you; speaking as someone who is old enough to be your Grandmother. ❤️👍

Pancake Tip: cut up the pancakes all the way BEFORE you add syrup & butter, then you can push the pancake pieces into a little circular wall, pour the syrup in the middle & then the syrup will slowly seep into the innermost pancakes first & not slide off your plate or cutting board. Love watching your easygoing style!

Hi 😍😍😍! Yes, this is an older video & of course; I enjoyed it. I would like to suggest, if you don't already know; Applesauce is Great to bake w/& - or use in Pancakes (no milk/eggs) 4 packs are about $ 1.00 & do NOT have to be refrigerated. Also, you might consider a Tarp w/Bungee Cords for a Portable Shower 🙂. Tarps are also reasonably priced @ Dollar Stores & are TERRIFIC to put on Vehicle Windshields in Snow/Ice Storms.

[@FieldsOfGold149]

Nice relaxing video your natural serene calmness make for a soothing affect for your audience love the looks of the pancake then the nice creek scene. I peel all apples as they are sprayed heavily with pesticides.

[@janelleharms1978]

You have the best laugh and attitude! Love watching your videos.

[@joanndavis4843]

Yeah, another curtain would round out the whole idea of complete privacy. And Home Depot has some small square magnets that have heavy-duty strength. Holds so strong on metal that's it's takes some effort to pull them off. They come in a pack of two and not expensive at all.

[@NoOneUKnow-c3y]

That shower curtain is a great idea. My husband and I have a van that we use to when we travel and I will probably add a couple of shower curtains to my supplies list.

[@keithsparling5537]

Maybe a suggestion... if youre going to have your tailgate open for long periods of time, you might consider a "pole" to support the weight of the tailgate to save on the gas shocks the hold the door up. It will extend the life of the door air shocks.

[@jenniferharris-ux5vx]

You always pick the prettiest spots to camp. I told my husband: We need to go to the Oregon coast, because Rowan took us through the Hobbit trail.😊 I admire your survival skills and seemingly innate ability to create a happy cozy wherever you go. You are a cool person!

[@jkwithlove8180]

You're so creative!

[@beckyraver7959]

Rowan, I just wanted to let you know. Contrary to popular United States of America beliefs as long as you have farm fresh eggs that have not been washed, they will keep unrefrigerated for months.! People over in England never refrigerate their eggs they just leave them on the countertop. You can't do that with ones from the grocery store because they washed the protective coating off. If you do run across a really good deal at the grocery store that protective coating can be replaced with castor oil.. as long as there kept a dark place, they will keep!

[@ivanleelivingston4902]

My wife and I started camping with our families when we were about 5 years old. In 1979 we started dating and we learned something BIG that November in the cold of Canada. We were at my parents old school bus on the lake and I noticed that my parents had put up a 12 x 12 canvas kitchen tent on a deck overlooking the lake. Angela and I found a pick nick table inside with a 2 burner propane stove and 2 pond tank attached. We got a BIG pot and heated the water for a hot bath and as it heated the air went from freezing to a perfect 80 degrees F. We had 2 5 gallon home depo pails and 1/2 filled with cold lake water. It was the nicest bag in my life as we poured hot water over us. This Canvas 12 x 12 would make a place for a small titanium wood stove, a place to sit and read and cook food or avoid the bugs. TRY IT !!

[@justrowan]

I’ve seen some amazing canvas tents! Thank you for sharing the sweet memory with you and your wife and for the inspiration to look into tents again!

[@SullyVanLife]

[@Dr.Pepperlady]

Goodwill is a great place to find camping things

[@cyndyt2927]

I love your genuineness. Just for future reference, rather than cutting those slits in the hem, if you could have cut a tiny bit of the thread of that hem, you could then unravel a little of it & slip a magnet inside. Then, a minor stitch or 2 would close up that opening.

[@justrowan]

Good idea! Thank you.

[@ligiamanj]

A strong hook magnet is multipurpose. I got 4 from amazon. Holds a pot or a robe. 👍 perfect length!

[@justrowan]

Awesome! Thank you for the tip!

[@rouseyournicholls]

❤❤❤very nice. Love the atmosphere in this video. Very calming and serene feeling.

[@Liberal.Linda.]

What a great idea! I also think you should get another curtain. Then you can have an enclosed "porch", too, and can set it up and tie the curtains back to watch the rain.

[@DragonflyzPrepsteadNDesigns]

Great idea for a privacy curtain! Id definitely get a second one with more magnets too. Something we are getting is prob two 5 gallon buckets with lids, cut a pool noodle for a cushion seat on each and plastic bags to go in them for going to the bathroom when we cant use our regular toilet. We have to pay $200 to get water hauled into our inground 1200 gallon tank that feeds the cabin with water. This lasts about 5 to 6 weeks. And we have three 275 gallon tanks for backups. I know you can also buy collapsible water jugs that are several gallons for extra water to keep on hand in your car.

[@veemiller9325]

Dear Dragon: Yes, I’ve seen other car campers use those collapsible kind of water jugs or carriers. Once empty they fold and take up little until space to store until you refill them. Great idea.

[@charlottewoodruff193]

[@justrowan]

[@tthomas6013]

Adding an additional curtain would be perfect. It could also double as extra real estate. Here's what I mean. Have the opening of the two curtains in the center of the hatchback. Use loose tie backs to pull them back. Now you have incredible views out the back and you can rock with privacy until your hearts content or lay and watch the Sunrise and Sunset in the newly formed "Bay Window". Next idea. Have the opening off the back corner for changing or showering. Hang a Solar Shower off the hatchback. Now taking a shower you can feel a bit more comfortable. I'm completely loving your journey. So being that I just found your channel I am enjoying hours of Binge watching to catch up on the starting of this adventure. (I'm recovering) Safe Travels Rowan! 🧙

[@melody7779]

Rowan, you did that!!! Those pancakes were awesome. Next time I go to the store I'm buy syrup. That is a great idea about the shower curtain. You are adapting so well to every situation that you are facing. You videos are so calming and teachable.

[@trishaanthony7331]

Just a little tip. If eggs have not been refrigerated or scrubbed clean, they can sit out in a basket/container. Check it out.

[@kaseygraham6525]

First, not sure if anyone told you but farm fresh eggs don't need refrigerated. Second, stumbled onto your channel and enjoying your journey with you and your community. I won't say I "can't" but wish I had learned when I was a lot younger to try new things when I could still move around better. Baby steps for me while enjoying your channel. Your kind heart and manner is refreshing. ❤

[@justrowan]

Thank you! 😊

[@sharilhouston8916]

There are SUPER STRONG rectancular magnets from Harbor Freight and I'm certain they would have similar at Home Depot. even stronger than two of the big round ones. That actually connect and I found the metal strips on the corners of my walls in my senior apt where I hang the letters needing to go to the mailbox. LOL Grea video and yes a second shower curtain would be amazing extending your living space and event help if you put pennies in the bottom (I did that in a shower curtain to keep it from blowing with the steam of hot water.) so you're curtain won't blow up in the wind. You're ver creative, homemaking in van home and resourceful.

Fresh eggs that have never been refrigerated, do not require refrigerator. Learned while living on a boat from a sailing cookbook🤷🏼‍♀️

[@justrowan]

I’ve been hearing that but I guess I am still so used to refrigerating eggs. I have access to some very fresh eggs tho so I’ll try it out! Thank you for the suggestion. Living on a boat sounds fun! 🤩

[@emb74]

Yes I’ve read that in the U.S. we wash eggs before selling which ruins the natural layer of protection eggs have. In Europe they don’t so they always leave their eggs out.

[@titalinda8515]

The woods are gorgeous!!, love the fall season. Here in Chile we will be in Autumn pretty soln. Love it.

[@cherrychriestenson3319]

Hi Rowan. You mentioned farm fresh eggs. Do you know as long as the eggs aren’t washed you don’t have to refrigerate them? Washing removes the “bloom” from them then they need to be kept cool. So if you buy them in the store, definitely refrigerate them. I’m enjoying your videos and admire your grit!!

[@hjkgufytfyug]

I like the magnets, but how about spring clamps found in the wood working area? Might hold better in windy situations.

Doubling up on the magnets is what I was thinking to. I thought that you were going to put the magnets on the hatch/door, put the fabric shower curtain on and put another magnet on top of the pre-existing magnets. The way you did it works to. Coolness! 👍🤟
