Who knew you could explore Bali in a camper van? I picked up my van in Ubud for a 4-day adventure, and it’s been a wild ride!

I understand the attraction of picking up a few quid by a bit of promation BUT I pay good money each year to RUclips for ad-free transmission . However , you and many more youtubers are blatantly using your vids to ram unwanted adverts in our face . I really don't want to watch you drinking sugar water telling us how good you feel etc etc . The whole video has a feel of " beach of contract" about it now . Whether its the fault of youtube for allowing the ads or you for promoting them I don't know . The word "unsubscribe" is buzzing round my head resulting in a loss of followers for you , but nobody would benefit from that , so , please , I would welcome your comments .
Isn’t it lovely that you have your mum and dad in your life still. They look like very practical parents! I’m glad you have heating. Baby wipes are what I use for my dog to clean her feet. She is elderly now and has accidents inside and proceeds to walk back and forth through her accidents! What we do for the ones we love!
Dinegara anda apakah lagi musim dingin?
I was just thinking about what happened to you, when you lost your hot-water bottle cap, it just happened to me. It somehow ended up under my bed, and every time I went to retrieve it, my fingers pushed it further and further away. Little bastard thing! I'm going to use a small zip tie, to connect it to the bottle itself Xx
Hi love the videos. You can pur little socks on for walking and take them off before getting in the back in the van. Richard
Can you tell me the place you went to get your electric upgaraded i live in the southwest
All of those readings you just took could be off if you didn't calibrate it correctly in distilled water, but you know that now. The water you drank from the river earlier was not the same the second time because of the flow. The first time it was much more toxic because of the cow poop and urine (nitrates) not running off as fast.
I know 😂
@@its_van_life It's one of those ughh moments that we all have. I cringed when you drank the water from the river by the cattle.
So, your dog ate the cow poo, and you drank the cow poo. How did your stomach take it? Be sure to take the cap off next time, and also calibrate it correctly.
Well done. Now you need a high roof so you can stand up. Or you get bend over the years😀
Hey, 25c in the van that's more like it! I smoke alarm and CO alarm would be worth getting now you have a heater.
Tool bag... Love it! Abd diesel heater are a game changer. Please do ensure you've a co2 detector in the van though, abs as your dad righty says, a fire extinguisher also. Much love abd many blessings to you. 🙏🤲🙌🫶💜
You're a talented seamstress Cat. Need to knock up two little pairs of moccasin booties, front & rear, for Pud. No laces, strip of velcro wraps around the top ! Sorted 🐶
So when you're Finnish swinging in the trees is it possible to get tourist insurance for the van I have it for my car in Spain just a thought
🤔
Better than drinking dirty water lol 😁
😂
for puddings feet cleaning, mud daddy or one of the cheeper ones, heads up some countries you need a flashing light now for the top of van instead of the triangle, loved the flog as always ❤
Thank you that’s useful to know, I will research this 🙏🏻
You did really well lasting so long without what I find are the stable needs of ft Vanlife, will be much easier future for you
Haha I’m quite stubborn but finally caved 😂🥰
Your dad needs his own 'how to' vlog for technical stuff. He'd be good at the product reviews😂 A really good way of keeping Pudding's mucky paws off the inside of the van is to leave her at your daughter's😂
😂😂😂 no way, she’s coming on my epic trip with me, it’s worth the mud to have my little mate with me 🥰 Seriously my dad could make/ fix anything 😁
So happy for you with the upgrades, that will make a huge difference for you ❤
Oh and how about puppy pee pads for pud to stand on when she gets in the van? They might absorb some of the mud?
That’s a good idea 💡🙏🏻
Honestly, a huge game changer 🙏🏻🙌
afternoon vanlifer not have my own car which has been converted into a mini camper 😊
Oops insurance that is😂x
Hi cat when you get to Morocco you can get it at the port for about £260 for 3 months x
Thank you, I have done a bit of research and saw that was an option, that’s a relief 🙏🏻
You can buy a genuine silent pump for the heater, best thing i done with mine, the ticking used to drive me mad ,I couldn't stand it, there are a few out there that claim to be silent but they're not ,the genuine electronic one is the one you want
Hmm 🤔 it hasn’t started to get on my nerves yet, probably because I’m still so grateful I don’t have to scrape the ice off the inside of the van 😂
Hiya cat happy Sunday darling 😊. Wow im so happy you are warm now i was so concerned for you !!. I bet you are getting so excited for your big journey. I know i would be jumping up and down lol 🤣🤣. Is the dog staying behind? Good luck im so happy for you ❤😊🙏🍀😘🫂👠👠😎
Thank you, yes I am so excited to get going, I feel like I’ve been talking about it forever! The pup is coming with me this time 🙌🥰🐕
@its_van_life aww I'm so happy 😊
Love your vids!! You are stunning too xxx
❤️
Diesel heater 👍 the best things I've fitted to my T5.1
Yeah it’s a game changer 🙏🏻
Hey Cat, make contact with ‘our van tales’ on RUclips. They went to Morocco with Blue their frenchy. They can give you the info to help going from uk to Morocco. Have fun travelling!!
🙏🏻
Wow, what an adventure, you crazy lady x.
Hello, video keren
Wow sounds like haven your up coming trip. Ps don't forget to leave the shower screen at home 😁 and diesel heating what's the world coming to. In my day it was body heat 🔥 lol have fun take care
Just love your dog. She's kin nuts 😂😂
😂🤗❤️🐕 she’s wicked isn’t she 🥰
Yep it’s done 😊😊
I think I’ve mange to do a subscription to support you, not 100% if it went through ok, any idea how I can tell, Codge❤
Yes it has come through 🙏🏻 thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Do you think/feel you love living in your van because you are free, no clutter, only what you really need and what you have works for you ? When I watch your videos, with your music and landscape I somehow feel I can take a deep breath. 😊 I am going out in my little van this week. I have the option of a hotel but I’m choosing to stay in my van and I am excited to have the space and freedom.
Yes it’s all of those things. It’s taken practise to feel that. Early days I would worry about where to park a lot more but now all the anxiety of that has gone and I just feel free and liberated
Enjoy your little van break! So much better than a hotel. Stay warm 🙏🏻
reminded me of feeding the stock out on the moor. the cold would take your breath away. thankyou dear keep them coming. still looking for someone to take me will pay for the time and fuel. would need to talk first. what do you think dear? might you be interested. give it some though .like I said can talk andmeet up if need be.
Haha not sure you would fit 😂
@@its_van_life Sorry dear a moment of complete madness I do apologise.
ju st realized how that may have come across would only be same day there and back . digging my self a big hole. once again appolagise.
Already supporting on Patreon 🥰 Keep going, Girl 🤩. Lovely videos 😎
Thank you so so so much 🤗
Will be like new for quite a while your always in warm climates 🤣 can I be a goldmember
😂
Think I done it... It's taken the money anyways lol
Aww that’s so amazing! Thank you 🤗
Love your content! But girl drop that skin care routine! Absolutely stunning!🙏🏼💕
Aww thank you! Ok will do x
Be careful with the diesel heaters, not all are very safe to use and also be careful you put a heat shield where you but the exhaust through the van, take care, Codge❤
Indeed, invest in a good brand, that can literally save your life!
Saya senang bisa melihat video anda lagi untuk menjadi member saya pikir pikir dulu😊
Wool blankets make an incredible difference, both under the sheet and as a cover
Awesome
Love watching your videos, you bring such joy during a cold dark January. Looking forward to your new content take care lovely lady xx
Aww thank you! January has already been about 6 months long this year hasn't it? hahaha
Hi joung lady. I will do both just to keep in touch with you on your nice channel
Ok thank you so much x
You definitely need a diesel heater it’s a game changer and not to hard to fit , living the videos ❤
Hats off to you, you’ll be much warmer with the diesel heater, that’s next on my list,and the window screens help, fleece bedding is a game changer as it doesn’t feel damp when it’s really cold.
Well Hello, I live in Canada and I was taught to always have a couple of candles in the glove box,for the winter, could save a life .I know you don't have cold weather like us but they come in handy.
Now that I watched the rest of it my first comment is irrelevant
Hi Kat ..Showers are in the motorway services in France. If you are not using the motorways , most motorway services have access from minor rds behind the services. It's what motorway service staff use. Their car park is usually on these minor rds .. Google maps satellite view will help u locate the staff car pk outside the fences
That’s really helpful thank you 🙏🏻
@its_van_life No worries. As a European lorry driver, I know how nice getting a shower is out on the rd . Happy travels, I might even see you on your adventures .👍. Ps on the National rds the router/ restaurants usually have showers aswell .
