Van Life On the Road to Workamping

[@takayama1638]

AdVaMa, I subscribed, thumbs up! I love your shower, gotta make one of those. I do have one issue with your breakfast - that coffee cup. Noooooo! It was a plastic cup, right? Listen to your elder - stop at a Goodwill and get a couple of really nice bone china, tall, not wide mouth, fine cups to really enjoy your coffee! Wide cups make coffee get cold too quickly. Listen, it will cause you to really enjoy your coffee! Believe me. Do that for me, please.

Something I learned from a long time boon docker's video, when preparing food at a camp site picnic table, put down a vinyl table cloth first so the table won't pick up the smell from food and attract wildlife. I don't camp and don't have an RV yet, I'm just learning and preparing for early retirement next year.

Hello, Brian. I had discovered your video a week or so ago. I am delighted seeing a young fellow living a free life and doing what he chose to do, free of debts and enjoying his life.I get to see your country free and taking a delight from it. It's my fix up, so to speak of, getting an insight of rural country side.Am from Australia in New Soth Wales and as a lady of going on 72. I would do the same.Enjoy life.Oh yes. I write the towns names down and look it up on google, it sure gives me a kick.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Wyoming is stunning! I saw the most bizarre snow of my life crossing the Tetons in April! I'm so glad you started giving more highway and interstate and town/city names as your channel progressed. I love finding the places in my Rand McNally as you go ✨️😁✨️

[@CherylFlynn1]

Thanks for the reminder about how useful is the pressurized water tank you made. That is an ingenious invention. All of the practical comments about the gadgets, way of life on the road and organization of the van are really interesting and helpful for us out here who are thinking of going nomadic but still stuck on the "hamster wheel" and trapped in the endless cycle of work-and-spend. 👍🏼🙂

It is so cool to see how excited you are! Love the water spray for all the uses. Great Video!

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks :)

[@ChristineBEACHCRICKETLowery]

I ordered one of those sprayers from ebay! Thanks for the great tip!

[@judycarey9051]

Love, love, love the rock formations, Tunnels were interesting. Nothing like a shower outdoors.

[@harrystrickland6945]

Brian, Place a strip of electrical tape from the top of the shower bottle to the bottom, then spray paint the bottle black. Once dried remove the tape. The water will get hotter, and it'll get hot quicker. If you have a black surface to set it on that will help even more.

[@rvpandamonium]

That is a nifty portable multi-use water sprayer... great video thanks for sharing! :-)

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks :) Say hi to Moo Moo for me ;)

[@FOASQUAD]

Hey Brian. Nice to see that you are still making progress. Seems like you are really enjoying yourself and the journey. Looking forward for the next video and destination.

We saw momma grizzly and her cub on that scenic roadway. It was so cool

[@stealth48nurse]

Love the drive through the mountains and through those tunnels. So many great ideas for van camping. thanks

[@andrewconway7730]

[@meaniomc]

that water pump idea for the shower is great ,thsnks stay safe

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks :)

[@aspudkicker]

Hi A.V.M. Thats stunning scenery. The first tunnel doesnt have much reinforcing concrete. I wonder how they assessed the stability of the rock to make the decision, to construct the tunnel that way. Stay safe, healthy, happy and contented my friend.

[@dorisrives1916]

Been there. Beautiful Country!

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

Awesome! So glad you are having fun

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you :)

[@IntoTheMystery13]

[@LindaWolfe20]

Nice camping ground looked like...hey? have you ever considered using organic coconut oil..while your at Walmart get it there... also you can read at Pinterest the benefits of that...I think you will like the reasons why... Happy Trails!

[@chrissapp8676]

I grew up in Cody, Wyoming and I'll van dwelling soon ! Been through that tunnel a million times...lol !

[@emf3391]

..ps.. the🚿water spray tank is A must have👍thanks for sharing! Oh..🙄i think i'd prefer a pop-up shower tent too.

[@roamingfree6968]

I'm a senior single woman. My friends won't believe me when I tell em I watched a man shower tonight. 😂 You sounded so happy right from the start & hope you are just as happy now as you were then. ✌

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you :)

Great video Brian ! I`m really enjoying your traveling videos ! Wado for sharing. ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@badbadbob1]

I do like the pump sprayer shower/cleanup water source. I have a few friends going to make one as well.

[@HeavenintheGarden]

Brian! You have to come back thru Montana and go north to Glacier National Park! Absolutely the most gorgeous place on earth!

[@MrChangeordie]

Thumbs up as always, breakfast was slamming and the portable water sprayer is awesome! 😊👍

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks man 👍✌

[@SDsailor7]

+AdventureVanMan Those burritos that you made reminded me of Santana's.That was a place that was located in the shelter island area they made some killer California burritos they where so yummy.

[@Hobo_Juanito]

That's a pretty awesome shower set up you have!

[@Mr-hz6jz]

[@wheelynelsontinyhomeliving3782]

Thanks for the video, I really like the driving videos, shows me parts of the country I have yet to see. And thanks for the info on the sprayer, one will go on my list of things I need :)

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy :)

[@irbc]

Cool video. Looks like you are really enjoying your new found adventurevanman spirit.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you :)

[@KatandzR]

Love that area of the country..

[@AdventureVanMan]

It is very beautiful country :)

[@michaelg6652]

Cool idea with that water pump , thanks for the info .

[@AdventureVanMan]

It has been working good so far!

[@joeg.355]

Safe travels Brother.

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

Great video, thanks for sharing!!!....Really wanted to see you cook those burgers though :(

[@gareth800]

great stuff

[@goose2die4]

You should paint that bottle black so it warms faster !

[@wellsonwheels457]

I hope you didn't miss the beautiful scenery leaving so early

[@dantravels9269]

Very cool man. Michelle loved the drive. She has been there before.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Beautiful country :)

[@chevyvantravel9735]

never been to montana but it looks so nice...

[@MDC2020]

Damn a 5 gallon sprayer for a shower..now that's a good idea!

[@AdventureVanMan]

+My Damn Channel It's been working out great! :)

[@ronmiller7916]

I think it's 1 gallon

[@WaynesRV]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thank you :)

[@laurajphillips]

Very Nice!

[@TheViking533]

good luck in ND. I am in Minnesota and I am heading south for the winter. I have spent one to many winter here in the cold north. I am looking forward to warmer weather.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Right on! Im not spending winter here. Did the sugar beet harvest. Im heading south also :) Safe travels

[@AFewMinutesWithjman]

+AdventureVanMan Don't mean to highjack the thread but Brian what do they pay, how long did you work, and did you happen to get any videos while at the harvest? Really enjoy your videos and wish you would make more. Take care and safe travels. jman

[@AdventureVanMan]

The sugar beet harvest pays $12/hr. 12 hours shifts, so time and a half after 8hours. Saturday pays time and a half the whole 12hour shift. Sunday is double time whole shift. Usually around 2 weeks of work. It is a great way to make some good money in a short time frame. I did get some video and will do a full review soon. Thanks jman!

[@AFewMinutesWithjman]

+AdventureVanMan Man, that's a nice chunk of change! Looking forward to the video as I do all the others. Take care my friend and don't work so hard that you lose your joy. Great to see you happy. jman

[@mymjctube]

i love your video!

[@MOUNTYize]

like your portable shower pump, that's a must have for myself.

[@AdventureVanMan]

I love it! In colder weather I boil about 2quarts of water and add it to the water in the pump bottle and it comes out at a nice warm tempature.

[@gearjammer4779]

😎 Cool !

[@DixieBlueEyes]

I just started watching & subbed you. I think your life is interesting. How did you learn to cook so well?

[@MarshaMarsha885]

Question I have is how you put the spray nozzle on the flexible tube. Thanks Brian really enjoy your upbeat vids

[@teresap.5991]

At the end of the video when you were talking about your water system setup behind you right at the tree line there was something walking behind the bushes and it traveled behind you and then stopped behind a tree it looked like a person because it looked light in color but I could not make out what it was even on my large screen TV. But you said there were no people in the campground that's why it caught my eye wondering what the heck it was?

[@AdventureVanMan]

I think it was a deer!

[@HRMcKee]

wow cool video

[@gdyupgal4u]

you should travel through Miles City during May for the Miles City Bucking Horse sale

[@Fullovjoy1]

Did you do a tutorial on how you changed your spray water pump ?

Are you still traveling? Nice videos! ❤

[@WheelDweller]

This, too, was a lot of fun; again the road time, the camping time...it's almost like we're there with you. But what's with the dash-cam pointing at the sky? I felt like I had a crick in my neck!

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks, yes I made some adjustments on the cam mount to fix the angle :)

[@JJF10101957]

EPIC!!

[@bensavage6389]

i like your opening music

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks, I recorded it back when I still had my guitar and gear. I actually slowed the tempo down digitally with my recording software.

[@ridebks]

Paint your portable shower with black spray paint! They make some for plastic applications! Water will heat faster!

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@Jollyprez]

Very pretty country. One quibble with your video - when driving, the camera angle is slightly up, and really should be level, if possible. The wide-angle lens causes some distortion and becomes apparent when the angle is skewed.

[@AdventureVanMan]

Thanks for the feedback. I made some adjustments with my setup. Will take a few videos until you see the change. I appreciate you watching :)

[@CampervanKevin]

Dude! You are supposed to blow your horn twice when you enter a tunnel or cross state lines. Next time I film myself doing that in a video I will give you a shout out :).

[@AdventureVanMan]

Nice!...thanks CVK. Now I know, I will do the same!! :)

[@CampervanKevin]

check out my CVK fb page. My campervan is for sale. u interested?

[@luther7449]

Well, you had a smile the entire time, so all is good. Congrats.

[@k.pacificnw02134]

"How sweet! How passing sweet, is solitude. Yet, still grant me a friend in my retreat, to whom I may whisper, 'Solitude is sweet.'" . . . . . .That is to say, I've always wanted to live in a van alone, but in my van fantasies, I visit family and friends a lot, still have my job, have people visit me in my van, and still run my online channel from my van. I'm an extroverted introvert.

[@russpost2557]

Brian , you are doing a awesome job,with everything. I hope one we can meet and I would gladly pay u to help out with some of your talents. I don't want to discuss my plans on a open forum. But it would not be competing with you....soon stay safe

[@RollingEarthShip]

Beautiful area Wyoming. You probably not there anymore, but how's the weather around those parts? Drive safe, and no showers at Walmart. 😂😄👍🏻🚐

[@AdventureVanMan]

Its lower elevation than Yellowstone so it was much warmer, but they get cold winters as it is up north. I considered showering at walmart to gain some troll viewers but they will find me in time 😂👍✌🚐

[@RollingEarthShip]

+AdventureVanMan; that would be an interesting video. I can see the news now: guy living in a van arrested at local Walmart while taking a shower in his underwear. 😂😂

[@AdventureVanMan]

😄 👍

[@RutherfordTony]

+Rolling Earth-Ship Your right no showers at Walmart since Nomadic Fanatic did it and there was 40 kinds of hell as a result of it, lol!!

[@RollingEarthShip]

+Nomadic Traveler; I might try just to see what happens, but first I need boxers like Brian. 😂😂👍🏻🚐

[@kathleenschallock361]

what is your pressurized water tank from. Weed killer spray? And what did you do to it to make it the nice little tool you showed on you video?

[@ConsciousMechanism]

So I do have a question that's been pressing me with all the vandwelling vids I've seen from different folks. I never see anyone actually cleaning their dishes outside and wanted to know how you clean your dishes outside...if your cleaning the food out of the dishes where are you putting it or are you just washing out onto the ground. Thanks Brian.

[@ConsciousMechanism]

Yes, thanks Brian, I guess I've missed the cleaning sections...ha! I'm one of those pack it in pack it out folks and as I get closer to hitting the road full time I just want to get as many tips as possible when it comes to cleaning and not encouraging the wildlife to stop by under those terms...much appreciation. Have an unbeetable week...

[@SDsailor7]

+AdventureVanMan Did you have to ask permition to sleep at the walmart parking lot? sorry about the bad grammar.Cheers

[@SDsailor7]

+AdventureVanMan Did you make a video on how to make that sprayer set up I cant remember.Cheers
