    We are Linnea and Akela. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
    Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

    Tip for the oil change - When its really tight and your pushing, get into a position where you can use two hands, use your dominant hand to push (Lefty loosey - Righty tighty, use your other hand like a hammer against your other hand.

    You mentioned Jesus in this video so I just thought I'd tell you how much He loves you ❤

    I've heard you mention 3M tape before as if it's One Singular type of tape. 3M is a company that makes multiple types of adhesives and other products. I believe what you're referring to is double-sided tape

    Pro tip: when u cant get enough leverage like with your oil plug, u can use another larger spanner and hook to the end of your attached one to double your length, works 90% of the time :D
    might need to google how to hook it :)
    Glad you guys are having a nice time amidst Buss problems, Stay awesome!

    You should check out whether your van is compatible with the Fumoto drain valve. I put one on my vehicle and love it. No more battling to get the oil drain plug off or looking for a crush washer. Install the valve and it lasts for the life of your vehicle. When I change the oil, all I do is pull the safety C clip, attach a length of vinyl tubing to the valve port using a hose clamp, put the other end of the tubing into my recycle container port, same one you use btw, and open the valve lever. It's a thing of beauty to watch the old oil drain straight into the bin. The only down side is if your vehicle's drain location doesn't have enough room for the valve, or if the valve will protrude beneath the under carriage where it might get hit when driving over rocks, etc. RUclips it, it's a game changer.

  • @daniellawson652
    @daniellawson652 2 года назад

    I don’t know what kind of quiver that you have, but I have a Trophy Ridge and I know that they sell extra mounts. If the brand that you have does the same then you might be able to fix a mount in your van somewhere that things wont land on the fletchings. If you can’t find one online, stop by a small archery shop along your adventures because sometimes they have parts “boneyards” that you could buy one from. My heart felt for Chris because you can see the stress on his face during your campfire. I hope all goes well. As for your rig, if you are getting a misfire code then it could be the gas. The rig I’ve been driving threw one and the mechanic told me to stay away from the dinosaur gas station because they thin their gas down more with a garden hose. Sometimes the cheaper gas may not be the best. Too much water in the gas clogs people’s catalytic converters and therefore makes the engine misfire because the exhaust can’t escape fast enough. Anyhow, Safe journeys.

    Hi who would have thought hiding in your home was a supermodel all dressed up ready to go out for dinner you looked amazing. I've seen some crazy things in my life but who would have thought I would see two mates lying on the ground chewing on broccoli it's a new one for me. I've been following you since day 1 this is my first comment and I must come more often because I really enjoy watching you and your life. You look like you're in a real happy place at the moment. Keep being cool cheers from Australia 😀

      Isn't her channel so addictive & inspiring? Akela makes it even better. I've watched her for some time now & her channel is one of the few that's on my "regularly scheduled" watch list. I anticipate each video. Her down to earth personality & transparency is unmatched for sure! I love seeing new people fall in love with her channel. It reminds me of how captivated I was (& still am) when I discovered her. Nice to have you here!

Love seeing them eat broccoli, you asking for help (we know you have super powers but as an up and coming super woman myself its good to see you do what you do smartly). Oh, and tell Chris when you push him its his job to be a goofball and fall down! FYI speaking of subscribers, Congrats!!!! You deserve it!

I just bought a diamond compound bow it's never been used. And it's left-handed which is rare and hard to find. Cool thing is diamonds are made right here in Oregon where we live.
