Rain On Van Roof Inside While Cleaning

#vanlife #debuyer #carbonsteel
Rainy days are great days to get indoor projects and cleaning done. Cosy, dry and warm in the van I get to work. My De Buyer carbon steel pan needs a thorough cleaning. Then I seasoned the pan to give it an almost nonstick finish.
I also cleaned my Hario kettle. After lots of elbow grease, both jobs turned out great. And getting to listen to rain patter away on the van roof almost made the cleaning therapeutic.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

Watching half an hour a guy sitting in a van cleaning pots and pans.......Strange, but very relaxing with the rain on the roof and also entertaining (as always) thank you for sharing this and have a great day.

[@ChippiSweet]

Rain 🌧️,wind🌬️, cleaning 🧼, cookies w/coffee🍪☕️…💆🏾‍♀️💕. I think I’ve watched this vid three times while washing my dishes.😊

[@marthahackett8967]

Good Morning my top 10 favorite things about living in my van is the sound of rain on my van roof. Recently we had 3 days of rain. The highlight was big drops for about 2hrs that were coming down hard. I was in my world. I fixed a corned beef special sandwich with some potato chips and a Ice cold glass of Pepsi. My entertainment was watching people run in the rain often getting splashed by passing cars. This is the life for dinner I heated some homemade soup had a slice of pizza and continued enjoying the rain drops on my van roof.

[@KatsHouse]

I found your channel 2 weeks ago & now..I have my early AM coffee (every AM) watching your new & older videos. Enjoying the quiet, peaceful & inspiring vibes that radiate from your daily life as a van dweller. You share my mornings w/ a dozen squirrels (tree rats) that I feed raw peanuts to. Their antics make me smile...as do you!

2:44 - the salt lamps are actually supposed to use incandescent bulbs and not LEDs bc the heat activates the minerals in the lamp which supposedly helps cleanse the air. - I’ve read conflicting views as to weather they actually make any difference or not but I like mine either way.

@@StaticCamperVan very good watch, thank you. You actually simplified that really well, I saved it to my van-life-electrical playlist so when I am building my van out I can refer back to it.

[@Joanneeisle8458]

Turning on that little salt lamp is like putting a warm filter on a photo...very nice effect for a rainy day😊 OK you're on pause for now. I need to make myself some coffee to watch the rest of the show. Back in a minute!

[@StaticCamperVan]

That little salt lamp has been a great addition to my space

[@edwardgeezil3318]

I just did that with a stainless steel percolator. And yes, it’s a lotta elbow grease to clean it. Great video stay healthy from Boston

[@jeanieirwin4747]

Hello Scott, Your passion for good coffee is endearing. I like it that hour salt lamp gives you such pleasure. I like subtle lighting too. It does create a welcoming ambience to your dwelling place. Your attached to the things that your using like your little skillet and the oil that you season hour pan with. A favorite skillet is the prerequisite for making most of your meals. There is not a trader joe's near me. When I run across one I do go there because I can find things there other stores don't have. I can tell you have worked in kitchens and you have a system to everything you do. I like routine too. Its like a low grade OCD but makes me really productive. Enjoyed your narrative and listing to the rain on your van roof. You look well and in control of your van life. There is a lot of howling wind on the east coast tonight too. Your kettle pot clesning and polishing turned out well! I like it that your include in your narrative where things are made and by whom. I'm glad you kept your kettle too. Be great!

[@WanderingNature]

If you take your pan to the ocean the sand is a great pan cleaner! 😜

[@lorikoches1125]

I once dated a guy who yelled at me for putting his cast iron pan in a little bit of soapy water. Needless to say he was a jerk! Glad to hear you say it is acceptable in some cases.😊

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

It totally is --- when they are very greasy or "baked on" and boiling some water in the pan won't work, I use hot, soapy water with a brush ... swish it around, then rinse and put it on a hot stove to dry ... then I like "Buzzwax" to season it.

[@Bernimv]

Cool branches.. Beautiful day for walk in Nature and you had a rain jacket. Nice. Luv ur salt lamp. That's how our familia for generations wash our cast iron pans (no soap😁) Great informative video

Another couple of options to strip old seasoning off is to soak pan in vinegar, or even better, simmer a sacrificial can of tomatoes in it and the acidity will do the work.

Lmao ,I'm not going to change how i do it" after tasting the Serrano yellow bird, you have my trust.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

Scott --- what did you spritz on the coffee beans before you ground them? BTW - to make your cookies be soft again, put a little piece of bread in the package and seal them up. The bread will get hard and the cookies will be very soft!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Plain water. It has been recommended for better grinding and brewing

[@dianakamalamars8397]

I have that kettle, too and have had it for years. Still love it and agree it is a little piece of art that makes me happy every day when I make my pour over.

I do love rain but from the vantage point of my cozy house. listening to it hit my metal roof is a comfort. I've been watching you for awhile but today was a first finding a current episode...hi there! Have you thought about getting a dog. Most van travelers seem to have one. I say that because I always have one who gives me incredible joy. I watch a lot of Scott Ritter and col McGregors take on wars we are embroiled in and should avoid. I love the Houthis helping the Palestinians in the red sea. I keep an eye on that almost every day. I often wonder why you don't come east a bit anyway. I dont drink coffee ... love the smell of it perking. Your voice is very comforting.... helps me sleep. I do catch most of what your up to before I nod off.

[@seller559]

I’ve had cast iron for years. Never really took care of them. Worked great lol. I’m avoiding teflon and currently using stainless steel. Blink or look away and it burns everything.

[@raveninavaniam9438]

I love salt lamps! I have a few of them I just spotted in my storage in my old 5th wheel camper. Friends are staying down at my Old Homestead and there are cats there --- the salt lamps are said to be poisonous for cats so I'm just probably going to give my salt lamps away because with 2 dogs in my van they'll surely get broken.... but they're so soothing! When I was in acupuncture therapy, my doctor would turn the lights down low and have sounds of the ocean and she had salt lamps in the room it was very very relaxing.

Lol... I have had soooooo many people chew me out for using soap on my cast irons, over the years and it stung me a bit but I continued using the dreaded soap as always. My pans, my choice grumpy know it all's... lol Then FINALLY recently I bought some new cast irons and guess what...the manufacturer says go ahead and use soap if you want...it won't be a problem!!! SOOOOOOO HA HA HA GRUMPY''S!!! ❤😊

Ah, a warm cup of coffee, or two, inside on a rainy day tinkering away on things that's been put off for too long is a nice way to stay dry and cozy. And on that, not patronizing a business that keeps a short staff is commendable. Stores do it to drive up profit margins and HR because they don't have an understanding on labor. I looked it up. So now, before I give my money over to an establishment, first I'll notice how they're running it. Thanks for the heads up on that one, Scott.

[@robertphillips93]

Scott -- as someone who also enjoys rainy weather from time to time, I finally picked up a decent rain jacket and a pair of capable rain pants (both on sale and still not very cheap). The insulated anorak is a respectable black w. rust colored zippers. The bargain pants are straw in color -- so the first time I test them it will definitely be a long walk in stormy weather! If it's really coming down I'll deploy the ol' urethane coated ripstop poncho . . My carbon steel pan is not quite DeBuyer grade, but it's heavier than the cheapies -- and it gets a lot of use, so it gets a seasoning retrofit with a little 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper around the corners once in a while too. She ain't pretty, but she can cook!
