Our Scariest Day of Van Life [What Happened in Central America]

Our Scariest Day of Van Life
What Happened in Central America? Snow and Curt have been full time traveling in their Sprinter Van for over 2 years and are currently van living in Central America. This video covers their Scariest Day of Van Life so far. The day started out as a typical van life travel day. Securing the van for a day of traveling to a new location. But, finding a camp became difficult because Covid has several places in Panama closed down or under curfew. So, we drove all day to find a suitable camp! And it was an epic campspot... on top of a beautiful waterfall. But, when the sun was starting to set... Snow and Curt's day took an unexpected and very scary turn. This travel couple found themselves caught in a real van life disaster where they almost lost their tiny house on wheels.

I heard this tip: always point your vehicle with the front pointing to the exit. I see the importance now. Not just for night time tip. Glad you got out.

[@jasmineleigh328]

You are awesome for sharing this tip. I’m going to use it, thank you.

[@jdaly1739]

And another tip I heard: Never park in the middle of a blind corner.

[@lth1072]

Scary stuff. Usually in vanlife videos when the words "nightmare" and "panick" are used, it's because they've lost the yoga mat or can't find fruit for their smoothies.

It was so sweet to hear how you communicated during that intense time. There is clearly so much respect and love between you. Thanks for sharing the rawness with us- it’s so good to listen to a real couple work out the ups and downs of communication, moment by moment. High five for such an amazing team effort.

We still are not quite sure how we managed that! Lol

The true testament of a relationship is how you treat one another in times of great stress. You two passed with flying colors. What a frightening event. I got caught in a flash flood once but it was nothing like this. Glad you guys made it out safely with no damage to the van.

[@SnowAndCurt]

So true!

[@traceydoe1022]

So this confirms for me that 4 wheel-drive is a must and not a luxury when travelling in a van Great team work!

And make sure it has a rear camera when backing up.

[@joechambers4112]

This is my first video seeing you guys, and I gotta commend you both for staying calm. There were several points during that ordeal that you could have gotten angry each other's tone, but you both showed each other respect and grace and powered through the stressful situation. Awesome job, both of you. Everyone should use this as an example of working through a dangerous or stressful situation as a team.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Welcome to the channel!

[@nancymongeur4060]

The way you handled yourselves through that experience was amazing. Despite high tension in a dangerous situation you communicated masterfully without resorting to shouting at each other and kept your heads through the whole situation. That’s what got you out. You two are awesome and I’m so glad everything turned out okay.

[@RockDove5212]

She coped well with the situation AND with the added stress of her husband NOT handling it well!

[@vickenator]

@@RockDove5212 I think they BOTH reacted well to each other's panicking. Curt took over the driving when Snow was uncertain as to how to proceed, then she navigated them adroitly and calmly when he got stressed out. Great team effort.

[@Anlidu]

@@RockDove5212 he actually handed himself really well. He communicated exactly what he needed, and she was able to hear that and give him direction. Idk what else you could ask for honestly

In Australia the willywagtail warns you, it's an indigenous thing, one flew in front of my car on a long a stretch of road, made me slow down because it kept on doing it, if I had kept going at the same speed I would of had an accident with a car going over the speed limit through the T Junction

[@kericaswell6084]

I absolutely believe anything is possible and they say a lot of animals sense spirits and danger and are able to use senses we don't always use so I definitely believe it may very well have been a warning. Glad you guys are okay!

[@dezarydrak8241]

Love how Kurt said “I need help not suggestions, help not panic, look in the mirrors”… Even while stressed your brain was able to grab and express key words for Snow to focus on and use. Snow you activated effectively. Well done you two!

[@monaestewart4591]

Perfectly done. Kudos to Curt...😍! What a beautiful man.

[@ownerkits3079]

Agree, great communication. I’d say. And I never would tell ppl they are doing anything wrong... but just to share my experience- I converted an Ambulance to an RV and never felt comfortable backing up. So I bought a “backup camera” with screen for about $80. I wired it hot so it’s ALWAYS on while driving. It’s great for full time rear view and keeping track of traffic around you. On long stretches I just turn the screen off on the dash. I have a Sprinter now and immediately ordered one for the same reason. I mounted the cam just to the right of my brake light- I can back up anywhere with confidence. I would highly recommend doing this- hit home when watching this terrifying situation- glad you guys are ok. Sorry for the long message just wanted to recommend to anyone that sees this. God bless all. Safe travels

[@thenibbs6647]

I work at a campground and I see couples screaming at each other and their kids as they try and back in their trailers on a sunny day. Y’all handled that better than most of the couples while y’all were in a flash flood

It was very intense and dangerous, you both did very well, good driving backwards, is not easy at all, and Snow, clear warnings to Curt so he knew how to drive the car, respect. Good to show us this. In a rainy season follow your instinct, if it does not feel good, hit the road. You scared me a lot 😱. Chapeau for both of you.

[@juliabrown2479]

What a scary time. The whole time I watched it I was commenting to my husband how well you two communicated to each other. Even with anxiety/panic you two were respectful to each other. Curt you did great communicating what the best way was for her to help you. The whole time watching it though I kept telling myself you were ok since you could publish the video.

[@rodstein09]

Such a crazy experience. I’m glad it all worked out in the end. I can empathize with what happened because I had something similar happened on safari in the Serengeti. We were in a Toyota Land Cruiser on a trail on flat ground a couple hundred yards from a river when the rain came down. The Toyota started floating and our guide ordered us to climb on top of him in the driver seat. The one front wheel was able to barely touch the ground and held us in position. A few minutes later the rain stopped and about 10 minutes later the ground was already cracking under the sun. There was one short trench into the field where the Toyota sat and that was the one wheel trying to grab the ground. The drivers only comment was “that was a close one”.

[@lesbiacandelaria9354]

Omg, I’m impressed and grateful that everything is good now! You two have guts to live and film at the same time! I would’ve be crying! We love you guys! Our prayers for God to keep you protected.

[@michigandogman3060]

Could feel the stress! My son, “who was 10 at the time”and I were 13/4 hours from home and it was 32 degrees and raining ☔️ he was asking a lot of questions and I said Jacob no more questions until we get home. Almost 4 hours later we got home but it was a bare knuckle ice rink the whole way.

Whoa!!!! Glued to my screen, barely breathing - and glad you have flash-flooding under your belts now. I've only encountered that once in my life and quickly gained a healthy respect for what comes out of nowhere! So relieved you got out safely and had a calm place to camp.

[@FallingWaterAdventures]

I didn't read all the comments. Sorry if this is a repeat. A few thoughts. - Fortunately you were in a relatively flat area and not in a wash. So any water rise will be more gradual and with significantly less force. - if you don't have one. You may want to invest in a rear camera. I have two installed. One a standard backup camera. The second attaches to my front dash camera. Which mounts over the rear view mirror. It provides an unobstructed rear view. Plus, the dash camera records both front and rear cameras. Handy -I expect you already have a set of walkie-talkie. If not get one. Then one person can provide clear instructions from the outside. They will have a much clearer idea of the actual water depth. Good luck! Hopefully I'll be crossing into Mexico in a few months on my way to South America.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Good advice... we have backup cameras, but the rain was too hard to see clearly! And, we have walkie-talkies, but did not think to use them in this situation... THANKS! Good luck on your journey south, it is AMAZING down here!

Happy you both worked your way out of a potentially harmful situation. I was particularly impressed that Curt was so attentive to the river levels at "Sliver Island". That was very astute on his part. If you have a chance, could you please share what mistakes you believe you made, and what you would have done differently? That could possibly be helpful for anyone who finds themselves in a similar place or happen stance. Do you think it might make a good future video to go over your emergency procedures / contingency planning along with multiple possible scenarios? Perhaps showing what safety / recovery gear you keep how you'd use it. All the best, Mo-

Not the rims included just your tires 🤪 Grew up in this type of village and yes when it rains, it pours hard and the water flows over the roads 🤣

A piece of advice. When in this stressful situation if ever again remember you take a second and make sure your next move has the safest way and relax. Getting worked up and rushing will just make it worse. Bless your hearts and safe travels. I hope your wife's is feeling better.
