Living In My Van During Heavy Rain| I Tried Something New| Ep. 18

[@eckankar7756]

Such a beautiful Class B you have. I lived in a Class C ages ago when I was a travel RN. I did 13 week hospital assignments across the country. Florida in the winter begging for nurses, northern states in the summer needed nurses so I followed the good weather. The hospitals would pay for my RV park fees along with decent pay. After 3 years I saved up enough to buy a home in Sedona, Az. Nearly 40 years later I'm still in that home.

[@themcintoshmanor]

Wanna try this in about 2 years when my last child goes to college.

[@sarahreid8801]

What a lovely story.🙏

[@Lit123ful]

@@themcintoshmanor I always wanted to do this but wondering what people do when they are to old to drive anymore?

[@debbiepotter4592]

That is so cool. I wish I was young bc I would totally do that.

[@swilson5346]

Thanks for sharing! I love 💕 your story!

[@lindapowell2397]

I struggle daily getting up...I've never been an early riser. More of a late morning riser. Enjoy your day. ❤

[@ZaibahMA]

I really love your discipline in keeping the living space within your vehicle clean - even when you say you're tired you never fail to make the bed, put away anything unwanted items and keeping the living space looking pristine! You go girl!! Praying that you will stay safe on the road!

[@Deeerlove]

Omgosh!!!! Love the half blond half black hair look yaaassss🎉 7:43

[@ladyindaroom]

I hope you are well protected. I see too many women doing this alone. Please stay vigilant! Don’t give out too much information on yourself. The creepers come out at night

[@brettanderson132]

I enjoyed the video! A small suggestion: only use cooking spray when the stove is off. If the spray gets into the flame, it could ignite. Safe RV living!

[@Lit123ful]

Yeah, that makes me nervous.

[@pastorbuzzhall9928]

M, mmmmmnpppppp 🙎🙎🙄

[@MissyQ12345]

Yeah, I might spray that oil while holding the pan outside. Ooky.

[@sharonfincher2032]

Yesssszz plus you in a small space,

[@dsbennett]

We spray with the pan down in the sink. That keeps the inevitable overspray from getting on the stove. We always have a lid on the pan when it's frying something on the stove. Put the pan over the sink when flipping or turning over the food. Stove stays perfectly clean all the time.

[@arroyobaby38]

I would LOVE if you do a Q & A about yourself. This way our viewers can get to know you on a more personal level.

[@mrs.jack-string2420]

Yes, and what do you do for a living? How do you make money? I'm a new subbie and I like your channel and your chill vibe. It's relaxing. 💯

[@A.TAYLOR]

I love the rain! I swear it’s so soothing and therapeutic. 💦🌧☔️❤️

[@blackcherry6877]

At night yes. When its daytime and you're trying to get things done but its raining...not so much.

[@A.TAYLOR]

@@blackcherry6877 Okay?

[@ForeverEclectic]

I'm still binge watching your videos. Love the hair! Your personality is so warm and I am loving your content. I've watched other van videos, but there is just something about the simplicity of your space that I find so soothing. Thanks so much for sharing....learning a lot👍

[@keayrashidler3693]

Best sleep ever when it rains and when it doesn’t I play sounds on KZbin it’s my guilty pleasure😂😂

[@DeliaAndVachonThePapillon]

Love your hair. It's nice to change it up every once and a while.

You always have such a positive attitude. I love your videos. I really think I would enjoy van life just wish I were younger. I love coming along with you whatever you may be doing. Thanks again for your service. Your an inspiration to many. As usual be safe, have fun and enjoy yourself. God bless you. Betty 🙏🥰❤️🌹♥️💕🌹🌹

Sleeping in van during a storm....BEST SLEEP EVER! 😁🤣✌️

[@DIAMONDDIVALIFESTYLE]

You make even mushrooms and rice look yummy im getting hungry

[@Alicesdream17]

I could listen to a whole video of the rain on your roof. Love it. ❤️

[@eckankar7756]

There are several relaxation music channels on YT that have different long rain sounds, sone on a car roof, or tin roof, in the woods, with thunder and without. Most last for 8-10 hours, I often play them all night

[@michellybaby]

WOW, that bit where you laid down in the dark and the rain is going, with the candle, SO SATISFYINGGGG

[@Maritza_8223]

Hi I'm a new subscriber, just found you, really appreciate the REAL van life. Pretty sunsets and beach scenes is nice, but people need to see how to function day to day realistically. Be safe !

[@RitaPsych1]

Your hair looks awesome! Kind of exotic and it fits you. Glad the rain relaxed you and helped you sleep. I would like your rice dish, for sure.

[@marvelsgrandma1]

Your hair looks awesome, way to go! 💕💕

[@markallen2806]

Always turn the fresh water on and clean the hose out before you put it in your tank. Otherwise you're going to have all contaminants spiders, bugs and dirt in your freshwater

[@barbhansen5292]

Good suggestion

[@amandaslife6775]

I've also heard some people rinse out their sewer hoses with the drinking water.

[@texasrefugee7888]

Oh I envy your lifestyle and you look like a cool person to know. I lived in a Honda Odyssey and I loved it because I'm a gypsy anyway. I love exploring. And what I love about van life if you don't like the weather or the people you're near just start the car! That is so awesome

[@debbiepotter4592]

It’s not just you, I seriously struggle in the morning!

[@alicesullivan1790]

Yes, I always have trouble waking up, and it takes me forever to get out of bed, especially on rainy days, or if I have my ac cranked down and several warm blankets to nest in, and if my cat, Ms. Kittie Squeaky Doodle has her ample body on or next to me. She is like a furry hot water bottle. Never fear that you are the only person who procrastinates. I put the P R O in procrastination. Your running errands and doing laundry with two days left before you have to go back to work is praiseworthy. Rainy days are the best for sleeping. Peas, mushrooms - yum. When you turned it into fried rice, and added the soy sauce and cheese - you drove me to the kitchen to heat up some of the canned corned beef, fresh steamed cabbage, topped with corn bread which I had cooked last night. Yummy! I love simple, tasty and colorful hot meals. Thank you for sharing your day. Be well, be safe. Sending big old bear hug your way. :) X :)

[@skydreams5207]

omg.. last night your channel popped up… I went back to your first video and I’ve been having a marathon… Love you… Love you sharing your beautiful life experience… I’m eating with you… yum… And enjoy you immensely… Can’t say enough how much I love your videos… U R Living the dream🫶.. 🥰

The sound of the rain was amazing!! ❤️❤️

[@chaplain4046]

Love it!!!! ❤

[@mschoctaw7726]

I love the meals you prepare. FYI: If you store you mushrooms in a brown paper bag they stay fresh longer. If you don't eat them right away.

[@gifted_animalrescuer]

I didn't come into your Van Life journey until middle of it so I am just now getting the time to watch all of the beginnings. Hence why I'm commenting on so many later videos. I just want to say I love the hair it reminded me of the one and only Sia except the colors are opposite unless doing blonde and pink. Its awesome. I love doing my hair in colors. You look 👀 marvelous

[@fitnesslady1667]

I'll be in morning worship service tomorrow and I'll keep you in prayer we all struggle with life either way we it depends on where you want to wear you comfortable at sleeping in your car or either it's up to you but you'll figure it out

[@LaLadybug2011]

Your hair is awesome! You shoulda told us a little bit about it-what inspired you....I love it. You say you're an introvert but that hair says something different. It definitely will be a conversation starter. Loved the video-all of your cooking makes me hungry! You've definitely giving me ideas for trying some new dishes. I live in a regular sized home but Ihave the same cooking style as you-one pot or pan, keep it simple! Take care and have a good week!

[@deannepayne5670]

I love sleeping to the sound of rain!! Love this!!

[@shellybeau2006]

OMG! I didn't know that taco seasoning existed in a container. Getting that now. I am obsessed with the dinner you made. So easy and it looks incredibly delicious!

Sorry. I replied to the wrong video. I'm going through all of them now and I'm thoroughly enjoying them

[@janagardy4559]

Love your hair, cute & fun! I am not a big pizza person but about every 6 months all of a sudden I gotta have pizza, very weird. Storm coming, can't wait to hear if the rain sounds like rain on my tin roof. So calmng to listen to a storm & fall asleep.

I love how you can just come up with a delicious dinner with mushrooms, rice and whatever else in the kitchen 😂😋

[@ahoward3819]

It is actually a good idea to flush some water through that fresh drinking water hose before you connect it to fill your tanks-just to get rid of any grunge in that hose. I had a friend that used a facility just like that and had no idea there were wasps trying to build a nest in a hanging hose. She grabbed the hose to connect it and got stung a few times before she could get away from them. Love your vibe and love your hair!

[@colleen9311]

Yes great idea to flush it first. But what if it’s hard water?

[@mfitzgerald130]

Yummmmm and the bottom of the bag is the best,. more raisins next time 😄

[@f3lance]

Great video! I think your hair turned out awesome! I don't blame you for falling asleep to the rain, I do the same thing. Unless it's a loud thunderstorm, then I'm just up with the shakes! lol

[@arroyobaby38]

I just subscribed to your channel today and binged watched all of your videos making sure to give each and every one of them a thumbs up! I love your channel. You’re so real and down to earth. I can tell you’re an amazing cook and very clean as well. Love your van. Please be safe out there. Much love from New York. ❤️ Be safe out there Mamita 😘

The meal looks delicious, you diffinitely love to cook. Blessings always 🙏🏽

[@firequeen2194]

I also work very long shifts three days a week (hospital) and I completely understand putting everything off, lol. I’m back to work tomorrow and I still need to vacuum, clean the cat box and her water fountain, as well as finish up lunch prep. Glad to see your doing well, love the hair! That storm was amazing! I love it. I got a brand new portable DVD player on marketplace for $5 and it works perfect in my van. Game changer to unwind. Best part is you can find DVDs everywhere for next to nothing. I just donate them when done, I only keep a handful of my favorites that I never get tired of watching.

[@thanhhoale3886]

I like the dark hair color side better !!! Oh my !!! It's was pouring down. Love it !!! I am a vegetarian. Rice is my main dish and then I will have vegetables, soy sauce is good enough for me. I am a very person to feed. Sometimes rice and soy sauce will make my stomach happy. The only thing I am picky about stuffs that I put in my mouth is about the cleanliness !!! Don't have to eat meat to have a good meal, but for most of the majority people can't live without meat ! As for me personally, I can't live without rice and vegetables.

[@lorettakilgore7671]

I you are so special, it just comes nature with you and I love raisins day
