Van Life: 5 Changes I Never Saw Coming!

[@CLdriver1960]

One thing thing to add if I could: it’s the impact you’ve made to the 57,000 or so people with your knowledge and kind demeanour. Keep ‘em coming Dee, we love you!

[@LadyBugout]

That is very kind of you to say, Doug 🥹

[@thearamatrose]

The outtake of 'I definitely know more about solar power, ......, and composting toilets than I ever thought I would'.. gave me an instant belly roll! TY for your humor ;)

[@LadyBugout]

I’m glad you got the humor in that 😝 I never know how it will come across. Thank you for the feedback. Makes me smile!

[@TheBlueOwl21]

Yes, the benefits of living in a van certainly out way the negatives, many people opt to stay safe, locked in their comfort zone, programmed to keep working, paying the bills, and patiently waiting for the golden years to arrive, but never really experience true living. For me, a big positive of van life is getting out of the ‘system’, and as much as possible living truly independently. 👍

[@LadyBugout]

I definitely feel like I am truly living☺️🙌🏼💪🏼💃🏻

[@ritasmoot1823]

Thanks Dee! I always appreciate your perspective and this one resonates with so many of us who can or could benefit from simplicity. I come alive when I get to experience nature and don’t have to deal with clutter either physical or mental. So many opportunities to decompress and just be. Even though there are many things to contend with in any given situation, so much better to deal with them in freedom. Thanks again friend. Enjoying our WEEKLY visits through your videos.

[@Brittanyjacks]

Omg that’s why I live in my car. No rent and just started my KZbin to share people to get out of the work work work. I’m sleepy I wanna not stress about money so that’s why I chose car life ❤

Greetings from Australia. Love your attitude Dee. I think most people will agree that most people who live on the road as we do, are people who do not fit into the box labeled 'Normal". Happy travels.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes! Definitely not ‘normal’.

[@debbieelliott532]

What perfect timing of your video! Find out tomorrow if my house is sold and then I’m van shopping! It will be the realization of a dream and awesome videos like yours only confirm that I’m making the right choice! Thank you! ❤

[@LadyBugout]

That is awesome! 💃🏻

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Wonderful video that hit the nail on the head. Great job, Dee! The biggest benefits for me , personally, are mental health and education. Add your five benefits, and it all adds up to an incredible daily experience. I meet amazing people along the way. Tonight is a van life meet up on Fiesta Island here in San Diego with a DJ and a live band. It should be a blast! One of the benefits you mentioned was the change of scenery, the freedom to change your backyard as often as you wish...or to remain in that same place you've come to love. I document my travels on Facebook, and the decision to live the nomadic lifestyle is one I shall never regret.

[@LadyBugout]

That’s awesome. Glad you are documenting it too🤗

Hey Dee! BEST video yet IMHO. I am still with you because from the day I found you on YT I have found you totally relatable. I used my heat gun today to seal wires and get a big smile knowing the sun is replacing the energy I used from my batteries. I may not have realized all van life has to offer yet but am happy to know it all is attainable in time. Thank you!

[@EfficientRVer]

The squirrel thanks you for making him the first Tiny Red Van Fan despite missing his last payment due to unexpected expenses. Maybe the algorithm will like the number of nut jokes this might cause. This was a nice recap of what you have learned about van life. Not one detail a long-time viewer doesn't already know, but it's nice to hear an update of your perspective on it all. Details can always be learned by trial and error, but a dreamer or newcomer seeing one perspective that their own might evolve to, is very valuable. It might cut months off their struggle phase, or save them a big pile of money, or convince them to hit the road sooner rather than later, and with more confidence. For me, there is the added benefit of just loving hearing your voice, seeing your smiling face, and being entranced by your demeanor. I doubt that I'm alone in appreciating seeing any new video you post, because I can be sure my day will be better, even if it's already really good. My own day has been great, due to spending part of it researching all the alternatives of where to scoot to if the weather turns bad where I plan to view the April 8 total solar eclipse in Texas. Google Maps and the Jubier 2024 interactive eclipse map have both been getting a workout from me.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you for sharing your perspective and the encouragement. Glad you liked the squirrel. Ahhh yes, the solar eclipse! Hope you find a good spot. ☺️

[@holgermessner851]

I worked as a long haul truck driver in Canada and USA. Well. My company and house was in Canada but I delivered goods all across North America. 3 weeks on the road, 3 days at home. So I do know what living in a small space means. Now that I live in Panama, I mostly sit outside the house. My girlfriend has always a discussion with me about that. “I don’t like to sit inside. I did this for years, living in a small place. I need air!” That’s how I feel about it. Building my house, I know where my main space will be. Right. Outside. 😊

[@LadyBugout]

Love that! 💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

Great points! As a part time traveler I haven’t had the chance to experience the camaraderie of meeting with other like minded travelers. I’m hoping that will be more likely when I’m able to slow down and spend more time. I also hope to join in more gatherings down the road. My adventures tend to be constantly moving as I try to fit in as much as I can on a break!

[@LadyBugout]

I think that happens a lot…it has taken a while for me to settle into it as a ‘lifestyle’ so it seems natural to me that if you are limited in time, you’re going to want to do more and see more 😝

[@62WILDCAT]

Have loved & thoroughly enJOYed watching your youtube videos Dee, & often feeling like I AM virtually traveling with you. All that you share & teach is wonderful . Wishing i had learned all this several years ago. Am in my ,81st year her on Planet Earth now. Realizing now that I COULD have embarked on a NOMAD van life when i was just 68 after my Beloved Dave had suddenly without warning TRANSITIONED out of his body ( some say he died) .All i needed was a Van to get started. That would have been easily doable in 2013 when the house sold as my 2004 Toyota Avalon was paid off ,so could have been sold ! I had made ap few cross country trips in that automobile & me 2000 Jeep wrangler already by myself ! Had enJOYed tent camping lots by myself as well as living & camping in the 5th wheel my now ex husband & I owned !! Saying all this to do my part to encourage other women thinking about doing this NOMAD LIFE ! IF you are physically able & desire this ,just GO FOR IT ! Dee is so encouraging & helpful as well as CAT LADY VAN & several others . Dont let fears or lack of "enough money" hold you back !! Blessings to whoever is reading this ❤

[@LadyBugout]

Well said!!! Thank you for sharing this and encouraging others to not let fear or other ‘limitations’ keep you from trying new things and taking good risks and living life fully - whatever form that takes🥰💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@LindaM.DicksonMay22]

Blessings to you also. 💜 Isn’t it a joy to see her videos? 😁 I watched the one about making homemade toothpaste, face cream, etc… and saved it for future use. I used to travel every summer when school got out, until it started again, with my daughter in a van. We absolutely loved it. When she started junior high school she wanted to be home with friends so we did that. The internet, and KZbin, make it easy to interact and learn so much. I enjoyed your comment. 💜 God bless you.

[@mrabrasive51]

So far im on day 10 of van life.when quartzite gets too hot i will head north somewhere.i just retired 4 months ago and with my social security and medicare im better off than when i was working and paying out all my money for rent,utilities,etc..i always keep atleast 3 weeks of canned food in the van just for peace of mind..

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for another great video. Even if you are driving, your carbon footprint living in a van or small vehicle is much smaller than in an apartment or house. I have noticed the "Van life" community, uses items up or passes the item on to others. To get something I have to get rid of something because I don't have space to spare. I love that people just accept you the way you are. As a whole monads will pitch in and help rather than criticize. It is such a diverse group and as a group they are kind and grateful. Just like backpacking, I find I am happier with less. Thank you again for your video. Safe travels.

[@LadyBugout]

I agree! Yes, and on the whole people are way more helpful than not. Backpackers have taught me so much. I often ask them what they’re doing and what gear they use…so helpful for vanlife too!

For this first time solo trip in my self contained 2002 GMC Safari I fondly call ‘Van Verde’ …it was epic!!! So many new pals, many will be life long!!! The adventures and connections have changed my life. My advice is get out there and give it a try! Warning: it could be addicting!!! Have a great next adventure in your sweet set up and maybe I’ll see you down the road somewhere. Cheers Debbie 🇨🇦 ❤😊❤

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

YES!!!! Being aware of what I use and what waste I create has been something on my radar for quite a while before I started travelling in my van, but it’s become even more of a focus and awareness. When you have such a small space, no plumbing, and a limited supply of water, you are suddenly _very_ aware of how much waste you create and how much of your available resources you’re using.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, it’s crazy how that is so in your face…lol…I don’t mean that literally (although 🤔😝)

[@Swimdeep]

Wonderful episode as usual Dee💜 Mobile life is certainly something else entirely. The feelings experienced in the course of daily living bring a palpable existentialism to being human and alive on the planet. The freedom from a rote, “normal” life in Western culture is replaced by finding out what’s really important beyond the mores of a system based upon, “whomever dies with the most toys wins.” This life is a blessing available which you didn’t realize, until you live it. 🌿

@@LadyBugout just googled, there is a clearance sale and free shipping. I hope they help Augustblue1297, too.

Gosh! Another great inspiring video. I have a pile of cash. Do I buy a transit connect or play it safe and just get a new car? Working through much self doubt and fear. Your vids help!

Thank you, Carmen! Sending you good vibes. All in due time🥰

Hi Dee! I’m just beginning to enjoy your posts! I too have a transit and working on it so I can get on the road. Would you be able to tell me when an upcoming RTR or WRTR 🤷🏻‍♀️ is happening? I would like to have a date to set my sights on. I don’t even know what those letters stand for!😅 I’m in TN and any event coming up would be so helpful to know about. Thanks so much!

[@LadyBugout]

I’m glad you are enjoying the channel. The WRTR stands for women’s rubber tramp rendezvous. They have information under that name if you google it or cheap rvliving! 💃🏻🚗🐞

You are welcome 😊 I’ve shared some of my story. But I am not comfortable sharing more. I hope you understand.

Thanks for another excellent video. I am on the beach at Port Aransas, Texas in my 2010 transit connect. 70 degrees and sunny.

Sounds nice!!!

A few questions Dee: top 3 places you've been? And where would you like to see anywhere in the world?

[@LadyBugout]

That is actually a good video idea😝 and soooo difficult to answer!!!

[@Jackietreehorn-z5e]

@@LadyBugout I demand answers. 🤣

What brand boots are those that you wear? I would like to purchase some like your's. Can you help a girl out?

[@LadyBugout]

The boots are from www.blundstone.com Expensive but worth it and last for such a long time. I’d order a 1/2 size to a size up to have room for thicker socks☺️
