Preparing for My Road Trip // Everything I Bought // Living in a Van Full Time

[@simmpleenough]

Thanks to all of you who are subscribed, and even those who just watch and like my videos without subscribing. Your views really helped me with getting Starlink. I’ve already begun my road trip and having Starlink makes me feel a lot more comfortable when staying alone in secluded places. I’m able to use WiFi calls if I don’t have a cell signal and I can video call my loved ones. I’m still learning the best places to use it (hint: don’t park too close to ANY trees), but overall I’m super pleased with it 😊.

You are so blessed to have such supportive parents!

It's good to see you back...I'm catching up on all your videos. It's so good to see you with a bigger vehicle and I look forward to the cooking sessions. I've loved the Ford Transit Connects since following Lady Bugout channels...her's look like a little tiny house. I'm always fascinated with how you all make them so cozy. There's a KZbinr, "Where is Tiffany", she shares great tips on how to keep rodents out of your vehicle using natural sources like peppermint oil and mothball bags that she places outside and inside of her vehicle. I look forward to more videos from you.

[@simmpleenough]

I follow both of their channels! I’ll check out Tiffany’s video about the rodents. I do remember hearing her talk about that a while ago. Thank you 😊.

[@bizceo6593]

@@simmpleenough You are more than welcome. Again, I look forward to more content from you. I found the video for you that Tiffany posted. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5zFemufaLqkaKc

I found ur channel today & def subscribing. I'm a 44 yr old woman who has an 06 Honda Odyssey. I've boondocked in it before but "Pearl" isn't ready for any long term living. Eventually that's my goal. Until then I can live vicariously through you and some of my other Fave Van Life KZbinrs. I absolutely LOVE ur Van build out. You did a Great job on it. I think ur Dad seems really happy & PROUD of you & you can tell he's excited for you. It's sweet that ur Momma's a lil worried about u. She's likely excited as well but ur her baby & She's just doing what good Mom's do. Good Luck on all your future trips & I'll be sure to check up on ur channel to see what adventures you've been up to.

[@simmpleenough]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and for subscribing. Before leaving, I shared my location with my parents, so that made my mom feel a little better. She said she’s always watching my little dot on the app to see where I’m at 😂. I hope you and Pearl make some good memories when she’s ready to hit the road. Thanks again 😊.

[@dallasjordan4340]

I'm so excited to see your road trip! Glad my views helped you get starlink. I always get happy when you upload and watch all the way through 💛.

[@simmpleenough]

Thank you so much. I appreciate your support.

[@michelleh7769]

New to the channel.... Wow so amazing that you were able to make the starlink purchase from KZbin income and with under 10,000 subscribers is quite inspiring... I'm also a solo female traveler....I have a 2013 Ford Transit Connect .. it's a no build conversion still but I've made it work for spending the last 2 winters in Florida... Looking forward to another one this year .. thank you for sharing your journey and safe travels!

[@simmpleenough]

Yea, I’m so grateful to have made enough money for the Starlink. I was not expecting that when I uploaded my van tour video. Thank you and safe travels to you, as well 😊

[@malikaeastonAllahfirstanfamily]

Salam, Enjoy your nature journey. Stay safe, live laugh continue smiling. Looks like you have all your needs. Your internet 🛜 connection was a must. Great you have your father helping you get everything together and going through what to have on hand. Your observing from what I see so you’re going be great, enjoy nothing like waking up to hearing birds , running water and nature 😊

[@simmpleenough]

Salam! I started my road trip earlier this week and falling asleep to the sounds of insects and waking up to the sound of water has been healing. I’m so happy and grateful for my life.

One suggestion, be careful with that bear spray. Bob on cheap rv living did a test on different products like that. He sprayed the bear spray and it flew back in his face. He fell to the ground and had to stop taping. He suggested getting the gel instead. I tested mine just to see if it was working and just being in the air made me cough. I’m getting the gel. Just be careful. Safe travels.

[@SarahNicole420]

Hey good idea. I would've never thought of that but it makes perfect sense. I was gonna buy some bear spray myself but now I'll be sure to grab the gel instead. Thanks for the tip.👍🏽

[@simmpleenough]

I agree with Sarah. I’ll be looking into the gel, as well. Thank you so much for the tip.

[@ashleymchale9608]

I totally get the exercise mat and seaweed. Obviously they're essentials 😂. Great video.

Not surprised! I love that stuff. I really need to try it in beans...thanks for reminding me!

[@Chunkybutterfly]

Thank you for the great video Monique. May I ask, how do you take care of your hair while living in the van?

[@simmpleenough]

I wash my hair in the shower at the gym. Then I sit in my van, turn on some KZbin videos or a movie, and spend a few hours detangling, moisturizing, and putting my hair in twists. My van usually has hair all over the place when I’m done, but it is what it is. I typically keep my hair in twists.

[@dee6816]

Did I miss something? How did you mount the starlink? Or do you just bring it out whenever you need it?

[@simmpleenough]

This version can’t be permanently mounted, so I bring it out whenever I need it. I think there is a much more expensive version that can be mounted.

[@errolcarandang6717]

maybe consider having a pet? That would be so much fun. Love from Philippines. 😘

[@simmpleenough]

Maybe one day! Right now, I just don’t have the room for pet food, toys, etc… but it’d be nice to have a little cat to travel with.

[@susie2251]

There is a peppermint oil spray that works for rodents.

[@simmpleenough]

I have it!
