Have you ever seen a Sugar Beet? Well we hadn't either! Join us as we take you along on our 1st ever work-camping job. We give a quick look at the process and all that it takes to work this job. We were paid $16.45 per hour, time and a half on the weekends and we received Stay Pay (4 hours of pay per each person) when we were not able to work due to weather conditions. Although we had a fabulous weather year, we still were not able to work for 7 days out of our total 23 days....the stay pay added up quickly! BEST OF ALL...Express provided an RV park where we had water, laundry, hot showers, electricity for FREE.
We will definitely be back next year. Yes, the hours are long! Yes, the weather can be horrific! But the pay is UNBEETABLE!!! If your are interested in signing up for next years harvest....check out:
The Unbeetable Experience @ www.theunbeetableexperience.com/ ....Maybe we will see you at orientation ...Dont forget to tell them we sent you!

I love the pitchfork thumbnail idea! They try to use all the beets by February or March. The longer they set the more chance of rot they have. They can make syrup out of the beets and store the syrup until it's time to make sugar. That was a great experience, we can't wait to do it again next year. 😀

A wage well earned. I bet it’s really fun meeting other nomads. I’m still working on getting on the road but am super grateful I have a retirement pension to finance my travels. I’m way too old and out of shape for that kind of hard work 😜. Happy and safe travels 🐶🚐❤️and I’m glad Roodle has his folks back to play with.

Some of the smaller farmers drove their own trucks in. We did meet lots of other nomads doing the same thing! We had a fantastic time and look forward to doing it again next year. We have been spoiling Roodle nonstop! I can tell he is happier now by the way he sleeps on his back with on leg stretched up to the ceiling. 😂😂😂

Great, informative video! I have watched Adventure Van Man do this for a few years now. It's always good to see a different take on things. One question...do you buy your own clothes/boots for this, or are they furnished? The pay is great since they throw in a camping spot with full hookups, but since factories around here pay around $15, and even McDonalds will soon be around that. I'm not sure anyone around here would make the trip for that kind of pay. That said, it seems like the perfect job for RV'ers who need to build cash reserves. Thanks!

I live in Vancouver, Wa and have a beach house on the long beach peninsula. If you are ever in this area and would like to spend a couple of days at the beach, my house is open to you. It is easy to use... key is always out there. There is a dog run. I used to let folks take dogs out but had too much trouble with the boys wanting to claim my couch and chairs so.... now... no dogs allowed in the house. The house is a 2 min walk through the dunes. the driveway is fairly short... may 25’ but you can park in front of the house. Private gravel road. The house is about 2 mi south of Ocean Park, WA and about 9 mi. north of Long Beach. I REALLY appreciate the way you share the locations of the great places you camp. Take care, mary

@@oneadVANtureatatime . Great! The beach house is just 40 min north of Astoria, Oregon. Realized my message was a little confusing. The house is a 2 min walk from the beach on a easy walking path... through the dunes. Another really nice thing... you can drive for many miles on the beach during low tide. There is a driveable entrance to the beach every few miles from the town of Long Beach to Ocean Park . Camp fires are allowed on the beach if it isn't too windy. Long Beach is a tourist town but not too crazy. The house isn't fancy... I don't rent it out... I just let friends and family use it. There is a 20 and 30 amp outlet available in the garage for RV plugin. Hope you can make it up there. I am sure Roodle will love running on the beach. I know my dogs do. 🙂 Take care.

We are definitely doing it again next October! There are 2 12 hour shifts and we were pretty happy to get the day shift our first year. We worked with 5 people on our beet piler. There was close to 50 people total working the harvest in the Sidney, MT. area. There were a few dropouts but not many as the weather was much better than normal. Roodle is very happy we are back in the van and on the road again. We have been spoiling him rotten to make up for lost time. 😀 It seems like he prefers about 4 hours of playing ball time a day now.😜

@oneadVANtureatatime
@oneadVANtureatatime 3 жыл бұрын
Yes you got it all right! Some of the farmers drive their own trucks while others pay drivers to take their beets to the piles. They do get paid by weight and by the sugar content of the beets. We took samples of beets from trucks to test sugar content. It was fun to get paid and learn about the harvest. We look forward to doing it again next year.

Pretty interesting way for people to make some quick cash. After those cold, rainy days I’d high tail it to Florida for a month to recover 😂

I think quite of few people did go to Florida right after the harvest! Not us though 😂 We went to Idaho and it's getting down to 6 below zero some nights! We are having a ball chasing hot springs. Good times! 😀

That experience turned out more fun than we imagined! We meet so many other friendly nomads doing the same thing. That was the closest thing to a van meet up we have done for a long time😂

After taxes we ended up with 6400 dollars, that’s great money for us as we only spend about 1k a month. 😀

So you work 12 hour days? Then on your breaks you let Rudel out and he did ok? Just wondering because I too have a dog.

+Kandy Hilton Hi Candy! Yes, we took Roodle out on our breaks and lunch. And if the weather was nice we would play ball at the park after work. The first few days he was adjusting but he did fine after that. Our friends who worked in Minnesota did opposites shifts so someone was always with the their dog. Last year we were there for 23 days and worked a total of 14 days (9 non working days due to weather) ..... so not to bad.

Roodle is having a much better year at the beet harvest! We have a friend (Caroline) watching him during the day at the RV park. He goes for walks and gets to play with his best dog friend while we work. Much better than being cooped up in the van all day. Although we miss him. 🐕🎾🎾❤️

This job we heard about from other nomads and then got online for more details. We are still new to seasonal jobs so I am not sure how we will find our next one yet.😜 We do want to look into the Cherry harvest in late spring 🌸

If you made pre-arrangements I don't see why not. But I honestly don't know the answer. If you contacted someone at the ”unbeetable experience ” I bet they could be more helpful. 😀

We didn’t see any mice or rats at the factory yard but lots of rabbits. However there were lots of mice in the surrounding fields so I image they are there. We were fortunate to work the day shift.
