Guys! I totally forgot to talk about my electrical system. Duh. I have a big ol' house battery that charges off the alternator like in the last van. I also posted a video explaining the entire electrical system that you can watch if you want detail. Thanks for watching :)

I’m not sure why the brightness / contrast is all kinds of messed up… big whoops!! After a massive amount of time has passed I'm back with the long-overdue tour of my van (and right before I sell it).

Winter Solo Presidential Traverse | White Mountains NH

Have you done this route yet? Done it in the summer and thinking of trying a winter traverse? Let me know! I think this video could have been more informative if things had gone wrong, but it was a pretty near-perfect day. Comment if you want a gear/clothes/food breakdown video!

I've been living in my Ford Transit Connect for two months and love it. It's a perfect size for me! However, it gets VERY cold up here so I got an apartment for the colder months. I wish I could live in it year-round but it's not feasible, especially for a smaller vehicle like the Connect that requires some degree of cooking outside. :( IG: abby.j.bennett

Im On my way to build my van soon too 2011 ford transit
This was great. I did it in summer… You got amazing weather!
I see you have perfected the inverted brew method! I just got one of those Go's and that is definitely the way! ☕
I love being up there in the winter. Summer is too easy😂
I love your set up.im making a van over always looking for space ideas... love your bed😊 you are talented ❤
Thanks for sharing!
How much did you sell this conversion for?
Great job...single lady van...single HOT lady van.lol
this is a beautiful van. well done! you seem like a very down to earth genuinely kind soul. best of luck on all your future adventures! may the universe guide you well
Thank you so much!! :) you as well!
Just discovered this video. Seems like such an interesting job and has never really knew this was something you could do. I may try and do this in the near future! Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoyed your winter up there.
Hi!
put some cheap 3 ply on top of the slats drill a few holes in it for air
How’s it looking up there these days?
Awesome!❤
wow, I'm impressed. nice going abby, thanks for sharing!
Abby no longer works at the cabin but the video which 500 thousand people have watched remains. The little known cabin was a last place left in the White Mountains that you didn't need a reservation but now it will be overcrowded and ruined. Abby wasn't hired to ruined the cabin but she has. If you are concerned about what she has done contact the Randolph Mountain Club and voice your concerns so that they will no hire other professional RUclipsrs that can make thousands of dollars at the expense of the cabin. Contact them by email or phone. Also post here to ask Abby to delete the Video to save the cabin. Doubt you would as this is how she makes money. One hundred year old small cabin open to the public has been ruined by a RUclipsr/ Instagram poster. Bet the other caretakers and RMC members just love what she has done.
Wonder how much money she makes with so many views. Few thousand or more. Hope she enjoys the spoils of her videos. I agree with the post below the cabin is or will be ruined due to overuse. The video will remain and views with increase even after she is no longer there. It was a nice place but someone just had to ruin it.
🙄 find somewhere else to release your negativity dude!
@@abbyjbennett He sounds like AMC to me. 😉
I'll bring 2 wheel cart that carries all that stuff if I can eat what you cook
The diet is not good count as you go some of that serious bs sounds healthy but no
Amazing...you killed it!!
More than any other vid i've watched, this highlights the desperate need for a hightop. Living on knees cant be done and its showing here in spades. Vans seem big until you begin filling with a build and the space evaporates immediately. I have no idea how a couple with a dog and cat manage this.
Worked for me alone! But definitely couldn't imagine with even one more person or a pet.
Some swingers on ya girl, well done.
Can I ask what you did for a mattress in your van? I have the same and can’t figure out what will fit.
Hey!! Can you tell me what you used for a mattress/what size? Love your van.
The cabin holds 12 people first come first serve with no reservation system. I was already busy and sometimes filled up before you as a You Tuber got the job and made a video that 500 Thousand peopel have watched. Imagine how crowded and exploited the cabin is now after such exposure. There won't be any room anymore. It must be great to be famous but now people will reconize you as the person who ruined a hundred year old cabin and tradition in the White Mountains due to overcrowding. A lot of RMC members and guests will and do really resent you for destroying the cabin because of your selfishness so will other caretakers and the RMC Club itself. Why don't you delete the video and try to preserve the cabin. You would lose money from You Tube but people really don't like what you have done to Gray Knob. You were hired as a caretaker not someone to destroy Gray Knob which you have done. People have posted on hiking forums how destructive you have been and they are really saddened and upset about how you ruined Gray Knob. But hey it all about you and your You Tube channel and number of views and all the money you make from 500,000 views not others or Gray Knob. You are a RUclipsr with 24 videos / 700,000 view and you cross post to Instagram and you have sponsers. That should add up to several thousand dollars a month of income at the expense of Gray Knob. Can you not see why people resent you posting for profit at the expense of a hunded year old cabin and Mountain Club. You have ruined it. I have cancelled my membership to the Randolp Mountain Club. Thanks
Lol, I have been caretaking for five months and it's not any more busy. Folks are just curious to see what life as a caretaker is like from afar. Very few will invest in the plane ticket, time, and effort it takes to hike up 3k feet. Use your common sense, man!

👍 it was said that we can only join the dots looking back. Wishing you glittering stars
9 summers on fire towers in Alberta. Stories for hours. Memories for a lifetime. It's an adventure. Enjoy. Peace out.
I'm not anti-people but I dream of this type of solitude. That evening hike had to be amazing.
😍
I often wonder how someone could be so lucky as to find a job that is so perfect. I pray for your good health.

Do you carry some sort of firearm or other self protection tool(s). Seems appropriate for such a remote scenario..
Oh it's so cold that you decided to wear 1mm thick leggings and a shirt that is equally as useful? Get real. But at least you brought broccoli
Not to pee in your Wheaties, but you're 28 and making life decisions based on choosing those that are exciting and carry uncertainties, is not the way to manage your life. You must either have some sort of privileges or haven't experienced the challenges which would press you to know that life isn't going to just take care of you, regardless of your feelings and beliefs. I wonder what your perspective will be 10 years from now? You think you have time, as you said, but you really don't. You're approaching 30, your 1/3 of your way through life. This doesn't mean you need to be career-driven, you don't need to collect things, but there is some base needs to take care of yourself as you age. Well, unless, of course, you have family money or just have no appreciation of how time flies and your responsibility to take care of yourself throughout your life, not just during your carefree youth.
Awesome. I spent a night or two between there and the perch. I seen northern lights at crag camp. Its awesome.
Talk to the guys who own the hut if there is a possibility to install a so called RAM PUMP, to pump the water to the cabin. RAM PUMPS need no external energy.
Cool. This is why I decided to join the military at 28, after I'd already earned two degrees. I wanted to live a "life less normal, and I knew if I didn't do it then, when I was still young and fit, I'd regret it for the rest of my life. I was an anti-poverty advocate for a few years out of university and that made me very aware of how privileged I was, and I wanted to give back. I served for a decade and, yes, it messed up my "career track," but I've done things "normal" people wish they'd done but didn't. You're living a great life on your terms. I'd have loved to have had a girlfriend like you if I could be 28 again. 🙂
Hi Abby, Loved your video. I’m Hoping to hike up there in next week or two. Is there electricity of any capacity or a way of plugging in a charger? For cooking, I would just bring a canister stove and my own cook-pot/spork?? I have a 4 season sleeping pad and a zero degree bag.. Any other tips or info you can recommend? Thanks for your help.. Kevin
Beautiful situation!
When cooking with gas, the flames belong under the pot, not beside it.
Loved doing that route in the summer but it took us MUCH longer (Started at 6AM and finished at 10PM), so I don't think I could do it in the winter. Then again we stopped at both huts and the Washington summit for snacks and pics with the summit sign, so that could have added quite a bit of time. But I loved the scenery up there, especially the undercast early on.
So glad I found this. I grew up visiting the Whites and live in NH now. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
Nice life!
Abby is using snowshoes :O
Not much energy food in cheese and soup. Good luck out there. Dangerous to be on those rocks in the ice and snow. I hope you carry some type of weapon in case there are predators around the area.
Lol
🙂👏
I worked in a fire lookout here in Arizona (the other state with white mountains) and I know how you feel. Not everyone gets to experience this.
I want to live here forever
