[@naminhabolsamala3062]

Get lonely ?! People get lonely when around or not around people . They key is simply one , enjoy your own company regardless and love yourself . Then every thing else will be just joy . Hugs hugs 🤗

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, indeed 🐞🚗🤗

[@RK-ti2qq]

I love how you do van life with a minimalist aesthetic. Your van always looks so neat and organized.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Robert🚗🐞☺️

[@gloriouslifeonwheels3621]

I just love your comment about this journey teaching you to love yourself. If you never learn another thing from these experiences you are a rich woman.🥰

[@CLdriver1960]

As always, your videos are very informative, and you smile is infectious!😍🤗

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you😁

[@steveedward7572]

When it's cold I use those disposable hand warmers from Walmart that you just shake and they last like 10 hours. They help and are good back up.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, those are great! Always have some on ‘hand’ 😛🙌🏻

[@normaevett]

Loved this video, especially the end, about experiencing the beauty of our country!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Norma 🚗❤️🐞

[@docink6175]

8:36.. Im on several van living pages and I give basically the same advice, what works for me wont necessarily work for you. Start out small, use the vehicle you have, figure out a way to sleep in it then do an overnight in your driveway, then at a local walmart or cracker barrel, work up to 2 nights, figure out what you need, rent a larger vehicle like your interested in, try camping out/living in it for several days

[@LadyBugout]

Perfect!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@karenb1627]

Thanks for answering. I like the pace you mentioned. It's important to be present on our adventures. You sure do help a lot of people navigate the lifestyle. Keep being you. Xxoo

[@LadyBugout]

Yes! Very important🐞

[@Maurice1151]

Another brilliant"tell all". Your pragmatism comes shining through in this post. Thank you for your insights. Take care Dee.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Maurice!🐞🚗☺️

[@DesertAdventuresinArizona]

Great video! Many people will benefit from your very thoughtful answers to their questions! Thanks for reminding us that getting hurt will make everything we do more challenging. Safety First is very important!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you! Yes, getting injured is quite the challenge. Hope you are well!🐞🚗☺️

[@maryanna2245]

This q&a definitely help those of us who are thinking of starting even just part time. From your previous video, you mentioned you have a teenage son. Do you think he would like to join you for a summer travel? My kids liked traveling with me in their teenage years. But now that they are in their early 20's, not so much and I miss it. I hope to do part time van life and maybe, they'll join for the experience. Fingers crossed. Stay safe always.

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks Mary Ann. He’s kind of a home body …. But maybe one day!🐞🚗💃🏻

Thanks for sharing a lot of your life with so many people . I love your little Ford van . I have a neat little Chevy HHR panel and I love it . I am 75 years old and can see me in it with a light build . You take care and enjoy your life. God is good .

[@LadyBugout]

That would be very fun!!!🤗

[@denisemeredith2436]

Great video as always. For the person asking about part time living in their van whilst holding down a full time job, it is possible. Here in the UK most people have a job in a fixed place and will spend their vacations in their van travelling around the UK and hopping on ferries ir taking the Eurotunnel to Europe.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, I have found many here who hold full time jobs as well.🐞🚗🤗

Thanks for all of those explanations and answers! To answer the question about cleaning the floor…even though I have linoleum instead of carpet, it takes just a few seconds to sweep an FTC out because they are so tiny. It’s like you said, really not an issue to keep clean.

Hi Rebekah! Yes, I figure it’s just a matter of keeping ahead of it. ☺️

You’re hair looks especially lovely in this video x

I like the fact that you say (honestly) that choices on van size depend on the individual(i.e. no one answer). Also that being happy with yourself is important. Very true. I just retired and am now adjusting (well) to my new life.

I changed my van bed from a big cot to a similar set up of a trundle/lounge/chair bed where I can keep both doors open and enter from rear as well. The extra space is worth it!

Thank you again, Debbie☺️

[@strawberryroad1347]

The connect has a short distance between the wheels, which makes it way better over bumps and such. I drive a volkswagen for work, which is a bit longer, and it really affects how bumps affect the driving, even though it has more ground clearance, the Ford does better. If I drive where the tracks are deep, I just get one wheel on the side and the other in the middle of the road, where I can..

[@LadyBugout]

Very true! I do the same🚗🤗🐞

[@marksadventures3889]

Love your videos. Sorry to hear about your wrist. To help you with zips - I thought I'd tell you about something I did when I damaged my wrist and had issues with zips - I made a toggle on a lanyard - the toggle was just big enough to fit into the top of the zip and the lanyard allowed to pull it up. I then just removed the device by a wiggle and the toggle falls out. Make loops in the lanyard enough to get your arm through or fist of fingers etc to pull the lanyard up and down. It also works for ring-pulls on cans, just make sure the can is secured so that it won't spill everywhere. How I damaged my wrist, I fell in the fells ...lol...of course - the hills where I live in Northern West England are called fells, most are around 600 to 900 ft high, I walk these hills and moors a lot. I enjoy the freedom of my own space and being in my church the great outdoors, nature is my spiritual path. I have had a rich and adventurous life - and the adventures have changed but I still make the most of life. I fell and my wrist took the full weight and pack weight, and it wasn't good I almost snapped it, so I was in a wrist protector for some while - I still get niggles with it and last year it almost stopped my annual jumps - to keep my wings I jump 8 times a year, I have done since I left the regiment 26 years ago. Keep fit, eat well, sleep like a child and live every day as if you were not to see another - live long and prosper as the man said.

[@alicial6072]

You mentioned how beautiful our country is, I grew up on east coast and have been up and down the coast dozen's of times, vacation in Maine to Florida; but never been out west other than a layover in San Francisco on the way to Hawaii. I went on a business trip to Phoenix and decided to go early and travel up to the Grand Canyon and it was an OMG moment and that's when I realized there is so much more to this country very different than the east coast, the desert is beautiful in it's own way, I can't wait to get on the road full time to see this country, I just wished my mom had lived long enough to bring her to the Grand Canyon so she could have seen it's beauty.

Yes!!! It is so gorgeous. The Grand Canyon did the same thing to me when I went there for the first time. ❤️

Counter top. In our home we have a counter made with LVT luxury vinyl tile. Quite durable. But can cut to size w craft knife. There also are several stick on but the lvt uses a mastic but you don’t have to make grout lines. Try Lowes.

[@LadyBugout]

Good to know!!! Thanks.

[@heatherangellight8558]

Good to see you today and loved all the Q and A. One thing I wondered is how do you have medical insurance without working full time? Also, if you go to Hawaii, be sure to check with regulations first as I’m from there (not there now) and they’re very strict against sleeping in vehicles typically. No RV’s are even allowed because they’re such small islands. If you spend funds to get lady bug over there please ship it inside a crate. My car radiator rusted out terribly shipping in an open container when I left. Keep your light on and hope your wrist heals faster than expected! 💜

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you for all the tips! Yes, I would definitely do research on it first. It wouldn’t be any time soon either. I have to pay for private insurance. It’s not good, but at least if something catastrophic happens it might help😛 otherwise, I try NOT to need it.

[@herblapp6134]

So in a manner of speaking, you are partly self insured. When l was last downsized and with their booting me off their island at 58....l was retired with no medical ins when Cobra ran out. I found a hi deductible policy that was vy reasonable. I had savings so l said l'll take care of then routine but l need protection from catastrophic so l wouldn't be bankrupted. That decision wss3s winner till l was eligible for Medicare.

Speaking about awnings, I use an 8-foot ARB awning on my 2012 Transit Connect. My van came with a roof rack for a ladder, but the ends opened up to receive the mounting L-brackets a buddy made for me. Biggest single improvement you can make if you do a lot of desert camping!

Waaaaaay back in college, we rented a house with a very ugly kitchen. I covered all of the kitchen countertops, including right to the edge of a traditional sink, with plain old contact paper (which also had a semi-waterproof feel to it). It held up surprisingly well for the two years we lived there.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes… sometimes the simpler, cheaper solutions work really well. And I figure, if they don’t last, at least they didn’t cost much🤗😜
