#vanlife Isn’t All Fun & Games #adayinalife | Best Laundromat, Summer Heat
#sleepaid
Just because I live out of a van doesn’t mean I have a lot of time on my hands. Today I was forced to do laundry because I needed clean sheets. So I drove well out of my way to the best laundromat I have found, North Slope Launderette in Tacoma. While I was waiting for the wash, I read and replied to UA-cam comments. Then we got a propane fill at McClendon’s Hardware in Tacoma.
At this point, the day was almost over, so I drove over to what might be my favorite bridge, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and explain why I like this bridge so much.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

#sleepaid I’m not in Seattle but close to it. Today I am in Bellevue to buy a new piece of cookware. And I am going to make a day of it by first getting a coffee at my favorite coffee shop in the city, Cafe Vita. Then we drive across town and do some quick shopping at Daiso, a Japanese dollar store. Then lots of walking around a park with a killer whale. Please don’t leave Links in comments. An...

8 Years No Rent Experiment | Living In A Simple Minivan Camper

#vanlife #fulltimetravel Eight years ago I started an experiment to improve my life. I stopped paying rent and moved into a Ram ProMaster City minivan. To make the van comfortable, I added a MaxxAir Roof Vent Fan, a sink with running water, a stove to cook and make coffee and a Solar power system for my electrical needs. At first I wasn’t sure if I would be comfortable, but the van quickly beca...

    10:25 just for reference, the "Gerolsteiner Sprudel 0,75 l" costs 0,79€ in germany, which is very expensive for water though.

    wow what a cool day!! ... it's sooo hot here that I've been taking Lots of naps ... my hip is better for it, but my garden looks like a wildflower jungle with field grass up to my chest ... smh ... just ordered a portable patio shade & a misting fan, so life will proceed. I think most of us are happy just to get a little ❤ to let us know you saw the comment, I can't even imagine answering all the comments we all leave, especially without a computer keyboard, so that makes it special when someone gets one 😊. ... I can just see you wheelin' over that bridge at the end of a tough week ... lookin' forward to goin there with you soon!! ... my grand-daughter just bought a condo in Capitol Hill ... I think you took us there once, yes? ... could you take us there again? have a groovy week up there, Scott! 😺💜

    If you like coconut water, don't want a bunch of crap ingredients you may be allergic too including synthetic colors and would like electrolytes and B vitamins go with Body Armour. I only like the fruit lunch and blackout berry but it's super good and does a nice job with hydration

    For 11 years I've been trying to find the best balance between having enough clothes and bedding to prolong laundry (and to satisfy my desire for variety), and having enough space for other things. I think I have it worked out now. Maybe. Oh, and I keep my dirty things in a former scuba gear duffle with mesh panels (for drainage of wet gear). The ventilation seems to keep the clothes from fermenting like they would in a solid bag.

      Horrible childhood experiences with wool have kept me away from the stuff, and it'll probably stay that way for the rest of my life. I know, I know, we have much better wool now than we did in the 50s, but I'm fine without it.

    You have to watch Smartwool products. I ordered a beanie and I believe it was a fake. It's logo was altered. It was thin and small, like made for a child. I was so disappointed I let the return time run out and was stuck with it. But the real thing is amazing. I have some Smartwool socks I never have to wash and they never smell. Don't wear them in hot weather, but wool keeps you cool, even when it's warm. Mainly because of their wicking quality. Sheep are one of God's amazing creations. Wool is even used for insulation in van builds. Now for coffee!

    • @alchristensen8121
      @alchristensen8121 Годину тому

      "...wool keeps you cool, even when it's warm. Mainly because of their wicking..." But in arid climates (where I spend most of my time) you want sort of the opposite. Damp clothing works like a swamp cooler when it's single-digit humidity.

I hope your channel grows so much that it is impossible to read all comments. My wish is only that my liking and making comments helps you get there is some small way....don't need nothin' in return.
