Living in my MINIVAN | A not so typical day in the life of a VAN DWELLER

[@marymedal8665]

So fun to gift someone they are so excited about!

The van is starting to be super organized. That campground is awesome! What a beautiful spot to be staying at - loved seeing the fog thru the trees. That freezer ROCKS! GTSY! Congrats Kat! Good job to both of you getting that bad boy in your van!

@PattisArtInnaVan Thanks Patti.

Super great meeting you! What a great surprise it was to win the e-bike. Thank you! I really enjoyed our visit and your spaghetti dinner. Super delicious and you are a gracious host! Take care and safe travels!

[@NorthofSomewhereNomad]

@@CatPNW It was great hanging out with you. We had lots of great laughs. 🤍

[@lauramorris2663]

Love the progress you've made in your home. Van life really seems to suit you. I enjoy your sharing of ideas and thoughts. The lucky gal who won the ebike seems so appreciative. She seems very sweet. God bless you!

[@NorthofSomewhereNomad]

@@lauramorris2663 Thanks 😊 She is very sweet.

Hi from California, I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@beyouvanlife]

Congrats Kat you are going to put that to good use. I think I parked in front of you on Wednesday evening over night. Such a great video. Butane likes to be warm and if you heat the butane bottle up in front of heater vent for about 30 second the flame goes up to high again. The bottle get extremely cold when in use and it can seem like they are running out so double check them. Sometime you can get another meal or heating water up.

I was watching millineal gardener this morning and he mentioned next week it is going to be really cold on the east coast and central states. I hope you have figured out how to stay warm. I am so impressed with what you have done so far. Keep at it. You are great!

[@NorthofSomewhereNomad]

@kimberlyferrier1312 Thanks so much 🤍 Yes, it's going to get pretty chilly here on the west coast too, down to -2. I have a diesel heater now, so I am super cozy and warm.

Hi Debra Really dig your new van build looks really modern and comfy! Like your floor/storage very convenient! Plus your kitchen area! Best of all your bed! I think it beats the on in your Fiesta!

Enjoyed that 👍👏🥰

[@richardkotowski2268]

Hi Debra sticking to a good exercise routine keeps the energy up, good to see you caring about your health.I have been wondering how your diesel heater and all your upgrades have been working out for you? We are going to get some chilly weather in the single and minus digits at night here in Colorado this weelkend and all next week. Congrats cat on your new ebike, what a joy to find that out. You ladies stay warm and safe. Mmm I watched the video to the very end when you mentioned mushrooms in the spaghetti sauce. Thanks for the memories of the experiences one might find out about life and what you love to do stay safe take care

[@NorthofSomewhereNomad]

@richardkotowski2268 Hi Richard. Yes, the gym for me is a great release. My diesel heater is one of the best investments I made. I am so cozy in my van. This week we are going to be seeing -2 temps. Have a great rest of your week. Do you also like mushrooms in spaghetti sauce?

[@richardkotowski2268]

Yes mushrooms are tasty

[@BohoBlueVan]

I really like your open space!

[@Brenda-m4g]

I saw a tiny home dweller who swore by keeping liquids and solids separate because only when they mix is there a chemical reaction. and odor So she dumped #1 and covered #2 with sawdust and only had to dispose of that bucket weekly with no odor. I thought this was a great idea. Love your video and channel so far.

[@Charlie-d0ggy]

Awesome Deborah it was so nice to meet you and we will be looking forward to seeing your future adventures Lorna and Ray😊

[@NorthofSomewhereNomad]

@Charlie-d0ggy Hey you guys! It was so great meeting you and hanging out. Love the name. I subscribed.

[@BohoBlueVan]

I use sandwich baggies to store food or leftovers instead of tupperware primarily. Such a space saver!

[@I-live-and-learn]

12:39 A quick tip: blur license plates.

[@richardkotowski2268]

Hey Dbra I forgot to mention the small propane bottle for your cook stove, instead of buying expensive single bottle if you can use a barbecue cooker propane tank that is bigger it is less expensive than buying one bottle at a time, just some food for thought. Ok have a good night

[@sharonoldham4374]

I believe she has a butane cooker stove.😊

[@richardkotowski2268]

There are stove units that use both butane and propane on Amazon Us , Butane works only to -1 C outside temperature and propane works down to -40 F outside temperature which is better for colder winter climates. There are two units on Amazon the Camplux JK-5310 $39.99 US and the Gasone GS-3400P $31.99 US and many more these are just a starting point for those who might be looking for a stove . You are correct Debra has a butane. Yes I do like mushrooms in spaghetti sauce. Thanks

[@ginabrandt6168]

You don't need to boil water first to cook pasta. Place pasta in pot with water, then bring to a boil and cook. Saves time, energy, fuel.

[@NorthofSomewhereNomad]

@@ginabrandt6168 I have never heard of that before. Interesting.

[@sharonoldham4374]

I make pasta that way all the time. It is a time saver 😊
