Van Dwelling: Storing Clothing and doing Laundry minimally & efficiently!

[@IntoTheMystery13]

I dont know exactly how you made such a simple thing so interesting, but you pulled it off! haha, I dig the tunes too. keep it real man

[@WizardDream]

hahah thank you :D means a lot!!!

[@dantravels9269]

I liked that animation of the clean/dirty shift. Very cool.

[@WizardDream]

Hehe thanks Dan!! :D

[@kornfreak78]

I don't think I have ever in my entire 38 years of life come across someone that loves doing laundry, or at least enjoys it. You're a unique human beings, Weston. Anyway, I always enjoy your videos. Keep em' coming man. Stay cool.

[@WizardDream]

hahaha thank you so much man!! I appreciate it :D

[@FOASQUAD]

I am glad to see that you are making videos again.

[@WizardDream]

hehe thanks :)

[@dominiquebt]

IMO, a clean living space is important! I like your simple laundry process too (I get a kick out of turning the washer on after I've loaded it up with dirty clothes and detergent). I buy clothing that resists wrinkling and wool, because of the cooling, warming and anti-odor properties, is becoming my good friend! It can be worn year-round, which reduces the number of clothing items I require. Cool video about a chore!

[@lori6709]

I like your cozy quilt ... it looks like it was made with love. It's the little touches that make your van seem homey. I enjoy your unique vibe, Weston. Keep doing what you're doing. :)

[@WizardDream]

awe thank you so much :))

[@yankeepotroast4169]

i plan to never use dryer sheets when i get my van. then i can just let static cling do the work and stick my clothes to the walls and roof ...i'll never have to dig for any item haha! just kidding. i do love a big basket of freshly washed tee shirts, wrinkles and all. :)

[@WizardDream]

Hahaha that is a great idea!! And me too. I sometimes sleep under my whole pile of clothes... So cozy

[@mothrahdizaztronaut6057]

I can't remember if I commented yet. But I loved the graphic. I'd need a third intermediary bag for "I'm not ready to call this dirty yet".

[@WizardDream]

hahaha good idea! :D

[@festiveraven2938]

Hey Weston... your videos have been real inspiring, love to see your committed to freedom!!!

[@WizardDream]

Aw thank you so much :) means a lot!!

[@lisamallard]

awesome idea

[@WizardDream]

Thanks :)

[@Windkisssed]

Oh Weston, Weston, Weston.... what are we going to do with you...? Don't like folding clothes.... Tsk, tsk, tsk.... I'm with you in loving to do laundry! But sorting, folding and organizing is the final step I need to feel completeness and closure to my meditative laundry experience. I particularly love to do other (certain) people's laundry... I love challenges 😉 Hope to meet up with you some day... you mentioned coming to LA....... Let me know if you need a street (a mile from the beach) to make your address!!! Another great video!...You're charming the pants off everybody!!! Lauri

[@WizardDream]

hahaha yeah, I am done once I have to fold and organize. it would be nice to meet you! And yes! I want to hangout in Venice Beach :D

[@Bayward]

one thing I learned is you don't want your stinky dirty clothes to ventilate. bad idea. it's a small space and you'll stink it up with just 2 dirty socks. def dry the clothes out and then keep them in an air tight storage.

[@peachpls]

Love seeing more content from you! Hope you're enjoying San Diego.

[@WizardDream]

Thank you so much! I am loving it :)

[@irbc]

Weston, this video is so freakin quirky, informative and humorous, I couldn't stop watching it! And it's about doing laundry for pete sake! Obviously your greatest asset is just being yourself. Awesome, genuine and original. Question: how many hours do you have to put in each day, week to afford the lifestyle and comfort level you prefer? Is it working? Have you been able to develop a routine that provides a relatively steady income. I'm in my 50s and on the last legs of a 30+ office based career, daydreaming daily of "if I was to do it all again" scenarios. Thanks again for your great videos.

[@learntoomuch]

that's a great idea. I need to try that. style

[@9SectorsOfSoundTribe]

really diggin your vids hommie

[@tmbb78]

Love the videos Weston! im moving into a van in april and your videos are so much help 😌

[@WizardDream]

thank you so much! good luck with everything. I am glad I could help in some way :D

[@WookieSenshi]

I have that exact dirty laundry bag from Walmart. (: Great product and super cheap! :P

[@WizardDream]

hehe right! :)

[@dominickbundy6429]

Very interesting alternative for storing clean clothes...I prefer closets to hang certain clothes in..

[@tkandrew3091]

I really like the graphic design and animation you do in your videos, very nice touch. Your channel has a nice charm to it, big thumbs up

[@WizardDream]

hehe awe thanks ! :D

[@Electro_Specter]

Hey man, upload more! Just discovered you today via Reddit and I really dig your content and adventures. So naturally, I had to sub. Be safe and have fun!

[@WizardDream]

Haha thank you so much!! :D I am glad posted on Reddit!

[@GeorgePencilArt]

Haha. I'm all into non-ironing. I presently wear wrinkles to work. Nice vlog. I was thinking in the future of doing a clean drawer, a semi-clean drawer (can be worn a second time), and a dirty drawer, but the netted bag to "breathe" makes sense. :)

[@MrPavePaws]

You MUST be related to Lew from UNBOX. THERAPY. compliment. Lew is fun to watch

[@WizardDream]

haha thanks! that is like the 3rd time someone has said that

[@christophershipley7595]

Sick process, If you ever rebuild your van, would you ever make a build series?

[@WizardDream]

Great question! And yes definitely!

[@captaincrunch04]

You seem cool as fuck, your vlog is on point too.... I have that same Djembe, can't wait to get my van finished! Portland has laundry mat bars, if you ever head north. Def gotta watch some more of your vids. Thanks!

[@WizardDream]

haha thank you so much! Laundry mat bars?! like to drink?? lol

[@WizardDream]

hey! Be sure to ask me any questions you would like me to answer in video format. And I mean ANY question. haha thanks :)

[@move.a]

Wizard Dream Hey Weston, I like your humor and how you enjoy the simple vanlife. Would you tell us about your tattoos, what do they mean to you? When and where did you get them? Thinking about getting one, I want to design it myself but I'm still not sure how it's gonna look like. Cheers from Austria!

[@WizardDream]

+Anna.Mar.Brandl awesome! Great question :) and cheers from the ocean beach Starbucks :D

[@Miss_Judy]

Have you checked out Newport Beach - its very shwanky... very very cool shops etc there to check out

[@WizardDream]

+MJ Healthy Living (Miss Judy) no I haven't! Is it a good place for van life!? I will probably soon be making my way closer to LA

[@Miss_Judy]

Im not sure - I stayed in a hotel - we went out to look for icecream - found a store and bought 2 cupcakes and a quart of milk - it cost $27!!! Very expensive place - but so many different kinds of shops

[@jsavellano2]

They say worrying causes wrinkles, so I think you're on the right track about not worrying about your wrinkles.

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

pssst - folded clothes take up less room & even rolled up clothes do too. tshirt with underwear inside rolled up & secured with socks - boom just grab pants/shorts then done.

[@WizardDream]

Adventures with Gnomie haha that is true! The not folding is time efficient. And the bags are space efficient!

[@ChristopherSeth]

I'm stoked to see your making more videos man!!! Any big road trips planned for 2017?

[@WizardDream]

thank you :D and not really! I might slowly head up to Oregon. There is a music festival called symbiosis that will be happening this year

[@gabechaffin8428]

cool vid man show us a cooking video also how has not having insulation been on the whole entire trip do you feel it's something most van dwellers don't need if your in a cooler climate?

[@WizardDream]

Great ideas! Also for insulation. I have been fine! My van has some insulation, because it was a family van previously. But honestly I haven't had any temperature issues. I may make a future video going over this. Thank you :)

[@knightryder5292]

Where due you see yourself in the next 6 months. And due you follow the election where due you see this country headed. Good practical system living in a van.

[@WizardDream]

Thank you!!! Great question. Would make a nice video :)

[@enduremetals2578]

I totally enjoyed watching that video. Even though your system is not right for me cause I like the challenge of trying to make my laundry into origami. Please continue to share your ideas on different topics I truly love learning different ways to do things. I do have a question... now that you have been traveling awhile do you plan to add some insulation. Yes I liked your video.

[@WizardDream]

Haha origami is fun! And great question! :)

[@bradleybam]

sometimes its hard to find a laundrymat aint it? but not in SD. use febreeze on the dirty bag. show us how u cook and more...

[@itisconsulting]

Do you still have your guitar? How about a video of you playing it?

[@WizardDream]

great idea!! Maybe I will make a music video with my djembe drum and guitar! Could be fun :)

[@franksierra2200]

Nice video.. why is your ceiling cut out?? What was there?

[@WizardDream]

Hey! It is where the harness for the seatbelts used to be

[@matthewcorbett2493]

Hey man! love your channel, very inspirational! I see you have a small fan/vent in the back of your van, where did you get it? and how much? and does it work well for you? Thanks!

[@WizardDream]

$54 on amazon! It works great for me! But I know some other van dwellers that have had it and said it sucked. But idk. It does the trick for me! www.amazon.com/Ventline-VP-543-Smoke-Roof-Vent/dp/B00407CK5W/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1487109266&sr=8-32&keywords=roof+vent+fan

[@matthewcorbett2493]

awesome thanks! did you install it yourself? and hook it up to solar?

[@rvvanlife7077]

If I wanted to learn how to earn a living through my laptop working remotely the way you do what is a good way to separate the get rich quick courses and bad schools from the good ones? Many of us, especially older van dwellers that have to work at Amazon would love to be able to do what you do

[@WizardDream]

Awesome question!! I plan on making future videos on how I started making money doing freelancing and also sharing good resources. Thank you :)

[@crazyyyfannn2443]

Hey what's the name of the song you use for your intro in the videos?? Sound's very peaceful lol

[@Miss_Judy]

Very good laundry process... I know you are in CA - I follow another car dweller and he lives in FL - and in FL they let him sleep right on the beach - so - are you pretty settled in CA, or are you going to check out other places?

[@WizardDream]

Definitely not settled in California! My favorite spot now is Flagstaff. But I'll be checking out different places :)

[@lauraliekarels4059]

You have to come to MN some time and see the BWCA. (Boundary Waters Canoe Area. But don't come in the winter unless you like the cold. It was -31 wind chill there last week.

[@MrPavePaws]

Wizard Dream ocean BEACH or OCEANSIDE? OB is off the hook great. Oceanside is a town that fcuked up its potential. voltare, Hawaiian cafe. te mana I think its called. like my second home in Diego dog beach, rental dogs without the requirement to feed, house or vet them! bon fires at night ohhhh the memories

[@aaronwulf8338]

Yo Wes! Do you have a video on how you did your Privacy Curtains, if you have one that is. If not, I'd be interested in this topic.

[@WizardDream]

Awesome!!!! Great idea for a video :) thanks

[@Alexotronic]

What about half-dirty clothes? (A shirt that you just slept in, or a pair of shorts worn only once or twice etc) Back into clean bag?

[@andrewmtbfreak]

you sound like lew from unbox therapy, but way calmer

[@WizardDream]

haha Just watched one of his videos!

[@cybersecretary]

yep. you got it down. wrinkles ok, even if you get them on your face.. lol

[@oguzhanozgenc7843]

Music in the background is too high? or is it just me.

[@WizardDream]

Yeah I agree it is a little too high on this one... Pushing it lol

[@doreenb1837]

So do you wash every color all together? When do you wash the sleeping bag? Never? YUCK. . . LOL Luv Ya for real.

[@WizardDream]

I wash everything together! And I still haven't washed the sleeping bag.... it still smells good! haha :)

[@vonblocko2431]

quick editing and music choice, no, slow down the video dude, maybe.
