Can I run my jewellery business living in my car? Skoda Yeti pushed to the limit 😅
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Hey guys, in today’s videos I am doing a test run in my Skoda Yeti to see if it really will be possible to run a jewellery business from it if I move into my car. It’s obviously not a very big car and I have quite a lot of tools so it is a bit of a challenge! I really need to see if it’s actually possible before driving off into the sunset, hopefully this video will give you some ideas about just what it is possible to do in a car in case you are thinking of doing a similar thing!
Thanks for watching ❤️
A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here: www.victoriagracesilversmith.com
My new website with greyhound info and illustrations: www.MissNancysDayOff.com

Today's video was inspiring.. I lost my boy yesterday after 15 years through . He got me through loosing my wife , having cancer and recently a heart attack and now he's gone with Nancy .. I certainly know how you feel , and your a inspiration seeing as i feel my world has fell apart rite now . But you have shown my a way x
My goodness.. :(
I am so so sorry. I feel your pain. he must have been an amazing companion and given you so much strength, I know Nancy did me. I hope they are running free together now 😞 i still feel at least part of each day my world has fallen apart but I am tell myself I have to do it for Nancy, she be really cross if I didn’t carry on, and try to help other snoot dogs like her. I’m so glad if these videos help in any way xx

Another enjoyable watch where your enthusiasm shines brightly while obviously still missing your girl. Keep it going , Tori !
Thank you 😊
I have a jewellery business, and this is totally possible. I have made rings in vans, tents, gazebos, a hostel bunkbeds, and filled a massive batch of rings on the London to Birmingham train (why waste time). I am about to add a boat to my list.
Good luck with your business
That’s amazing and very inspiring thank you!
I think a lot of us who watch Van-lifers and Car-Campers on RUclips envy some of the freedom and adventure of that lifestyle, so I am not surprised that the people who walked by were approving and thinking it was cool 😄
it does look really cool from the outside it’s true 😂
You always make me tear up god bless you
🤗
Hi,wild she goes used her bellingo van to work out of and make her jewellery with,about 5 years ago if you go back you can see a few vlogs of it,nice pendant by the way.
i will go look for these! she has done so much stuff. thank you ☺️
Your just amazing Tori 👌✊... Keep going lovely lady. Just a suggestion.. perhaps you could get some sort of fire blanket to put under your work to catch the bits.. and also protect you from fire 👍. Very cute jewelry too 💖😁🥰
thank you ☺️🙏 Now that does sound sensible, and a ,multitasking blanket is really what’s needed in the car! I am glad you liked it ❤️🥰🐾
Oh wow this is such a cool video!!!
Love the necklace and you are funny love your videos tori miss nancy will love your still going for her ❤
thank you ☺️ Miss Nancy is still my inspiration ❤️
@missnancysdayoff that's good just need to get you there with the special hoodie of miss nancy🤗
We lost our beautiful grey, Connie, a couple weeks ago so when you started welling up it set me off too. I still don't want to scatter her ashes yet. Daft or what? Anyway, it's good to see you occupied with something you love to do. Keep the videos coming. ❤
I’m so sorry, beautiful Connie. It’s heartbreaking. it’s not daft, I can’t bear to part with any of Nancys things, I have a little box full of bits of fur I collected and a whisker 🫣 ❤️
Brilliant Tori, love your work
thank you ☺️
What a beautiful vlog.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching ☺️
Hi Tori interesting video today surprising what you can do in a Skoda Yeti. Nice to see you smiling and trying different things again. Keep going you are getting there.
thank you i am glad you liked it ☺️
Very ingenious Tori , luv the video & best of luck ! 🍀👍😘⚾️
Miss Nancy will always be with you Tori , you gave her such a beautiful life . Hugs 🤗 😘
thank you ☺️ my beautiful girl 🥰
I had planned to buy a Yeti years ago. I wish I did. got a skoda estate car instead. I wonder if you can adapt a tent/awning to encapsulate the open hatchback ? Roofbars and a roof storage box .maybe. Careful you dont flatten the Yeti s battery with the extra accessories. Good Luck, Hope it goes well. Best Wishes and keep safe.
it’s not too late to get one, I do love it. one of those at first you think it looks weird then it grows on you in a big way.
! sounds like a good way to generate more space, I’m going to try and just start really simplethen maybe enlarge if i like it in there 🤞thank you! ☺️
I’m not really sure why you thought it might not be a good idea to work from your car. I think it’s a great idea and you certainly have my seal of approval, for what it’s worth. I live in a van and have lived on a sailboat and I never found Them to be a hindrance to doing the things I really want to do. In fact often, they are more of an assistance and benefit. Go for it lady!!!
sounds like you have nailed this a lot more than I have, thank you for the encouragement! ☺️
@@missnancysdayoff you are just starting. You will get there.
I have a lot of respect for entrepreneurs.
Very interesting video hope all goes well with your new project ❤❤❤
❤️🙏
Go for it Tori
Where there's a will there's a way!
Cool video, you look really well..and your hair looks lovely!
Take care out there x
thank you! you too ☺️ x
Nancy would be very proud of you!!❤❤ how you going on in life she with you all the way!!
thank you ☺️❤️❤️ honestly i get so down but i tell myself I have to do it for Nancy and it’s getting me through 🥰
Very enterprising Tori. The pendant Of Miss Nancy is beautiful ❤
Thank you 🥰
I love your perseverance :)
☺️
Brilliant Tori👏👏
I love how you keep in your camera fall and things like that in.
That's what makes you different to all the other big channels.
Never change❤
I think it's a great idea for the summer months, cheap to travel.
A roof box would be good, they are huge or a text box.
A company might give you one free if you plug it.
Fun video again.
The Miss Nancy pendant is beautiful👋❤️
thanks! ha well me being a klutz and everything going wrong, i feel it would be wrong to cut it all out 😅 I’m glad you like it!
thanks, yes this is the right season to try it which is something new for me it always seems to be winter when I’m in a vehicle. roof boxes are cool, if I stick it that might be a plan especially if a company sent me one!
thank you ☺️🐾❤️
good advice in comments. I shall add that am not happy laying your electric motor on a blanket. 1) It looks not to be an inexpensive item. 2) The casing seems to have cooling fins and air vents and there's probably an fan impeller that sucks air inside and outside the casing.. Almost any reduction of this facility may cause rapid heating that could burn out your motor/something touching it. Make a way to suspend it as it should be - an S hook on the handle thing above the door ?????? Cool workshop
honestly I agree, it can’t be good for it lying down or it wouldn’t be designed to hang up. I will try to figure the hanging solution! thank you ☺️
Cool!
I'm impressed on every level 💜Good luck, ma'am x
Thank you! ❤️
Hello i always find your videos are very interesting and I love to watch them, it would be obvious to a blind person just how much love you have for miss Nancy and i see how much it still hurts losing her i look at you and I see a a genuine loving person, what I’m trying to say is perhaps a miss Nancy the 2nd might help, you take care and look after yourself 😊.
thank you I am so glad you do ☺️ Honesty I would like nothing more than to rescue another Miss Nancy, but I couldn’t move them into the car or even the van, so I just can’t until I can resolve the little housing issue. one day it will come right ❤️
Skoda yeti I have always liked these cars and you’re certainly proving that you can camp in one great job Tori All the best from myself and snowy ❤
Thank you! 👍 I do love the Yeti I can’t believe they stopped making it. I call for a rerelease! I hope you ans Snowy have had a good weekend ❤️
LIKE IT... still watching love this idea
Taking polishing to the road!
Ok, I subscribed. You seem like a wonderful person. ❤
Thanks for subbing! ☺️
Hi Tori another great video must be great doing your work in such beautiful scenery it’s hard to watch seeing you get upset hope you are ok and well miss Nancy is with you always be safe and take care looking beautiful as ever xx❤
thank you ☺️ xx❤️
Well done Tori, I would def. need a bigger van 😎
🤗 madness
Love it Tori, if anyone can make it work then you can, I would call it cozy. Beautiful jewellery and I can’t believe how quickly you were working there, surely not sped up!
Love your hair and the Nancy pendant is so amazing ❤️
Bit of a pickle with that coolbox! Xx ❤️
😂 i had to speed up some of it lest you should get bored! Thank you my Nancy pendant is my new talisman. Omg that prickly toolbox!!!!! Xx
@@missnancysdayoff I was thinking for a moment there that you might have slowed it down 😂 Nancy is with you wherever you are in the pendant ❤️ xx
Will let you know ASAP so you can fit it in to your schedule
I think that's a good idea as well and so does Mr Sweet, the Akita.
Thank you and thank you Mr Sweet! ☺️
Sending you big virtual hugs from Canada🤗
thank you 🤗
I think you can achieve anything you want to. Good to see you adapting things to help you. I’m sure you will have fun working anywhere you like. A different place whenever you feel like a change of venue. Will be great for the mind and soul
thank you i hope so 🤞
@@missnancysdayoff I’m sure you will
This video was cool and unique not a bad idea. The way I look at things, yeah anyone can do just about anything anyone puts their mind to. What I've learned is we could be our worst obstacles in life. Everything's easier said than done. It's always good to be the one that walks instead of the one that talks.
Thank you! You’re right about that, I know I’m my own worst enemy. Still I’d rather try to do something and it no got well than never try.
Awesome vid as always Tori.
Certain you'll arrive at the setup that will be the perfect solution eventually.
Volkswagen style camper, with a extending roof would be perfect.
Fantastic little pendant of Miss Nancy's face ❤
Take care beautiful free spirit
☀️
Thank you! Yeah I hope so, you could be right poo too so handy. I’m glad you like it, wearing it is bringing me some comfort ❤️
Your videos are still great,bit better for me with a sweet greyhound in tow,but I will watch anyway x🎉❤❤
you know I agree with you 1000% on that, just trying to make the best of it at the moment. if that video had shot of Miss Nancy’s sweet little face and eating snacks it would have been a million times better. thanks for sticking it out ☺️ ❤️❤️
Qué alegría me da verte otra vez cumpliendo tus sueños, eres atrevida y decidida y no te para nada, eres como yo, nos ganamos la vida con nuestras manos y sobre todo somos autónomos e independientes.
Una grata alegría a mis ojos verte otra vez.
Chica sensible y de gran corazón ❤️ ♥️
Thank you! I am doing my best, working with our hands brings the most joy I think ❤️
@@missnancysdayoff❤❤
You are very practical and innovative.
thanks!
Hi Tori, lost my bestie in 2017, and still think of him all the time. Its part of loving someone or something, and it shows how good a doggy mum, and what a life you gave her. My friend brought me his new cockapoo last week and we were both nearly in tears about our former dogs, and yet in love with his new puppy.
Regarding the vehicle/ work thing...... to me it would be easier to work under the tailgate at a little table and chairs, perhaps with an awning for rainy days (google magnetic windscreen shields for ideas how you could make it work). This saves you working on your bedding, saves your pedal issue, and allows you to hang up the motor too, and a bit safer than using a blowtorch next to bedding. I think you can get solar attachments for the power bank too - so it becomes less costly.
If you are still looking for adventures, I can recommend the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and the Northumberland coast, as well as the west coast and islands of Scotland. I also believe the Wild Atlantic Way is stunning too.
I’m so sorry you lost your best pal too. it’s strange how you can think about them all the time and it’s so nice to be thinking about them but them sometimes it just totally breaks you again and the tears flow.
if i am doing a different kind of work (and I do a few things) that is a really good idea, with my jewellery it’s just not possible to be outside because the wind blows my stuff away! I’d much refer to if I could though.
thank you I am always looking for suggestions and those are right up my alley 🙏
Yes I noticed your necklace tory
Straight a way lovely ❤
thanks 🥰
Wonderfully watchable! Such an inspiring idea. Minimalism for the win! 🎉
thanks!☺️
Great video, love your pendant, my black greyhound Starsky has been diagnosed with lymphoma, on chemo at the moment, he is nine but only had him four years, devastated but cherishing every moment with him. xx
Thank you! I’m glad you like the pendant too 😊 I am so sorry about Starsky. I hope he can get better, and at least as you say you are cherishing every moment, it’s never enough 😣xx
@@missnancysdayoff Thankyou xxx
Have you considered a cordless dremel (or similar) ? Also, a lip around your table/board would help contain the grindings etc.
I did I just didn’t want to have to buy a new one 🤦♀️ but if I did end up doing it longer term it’s a good idea! The lip sounds good as well thank you 😊
Impressive work. I was unsettled by the blowtorch/naked flame danger.
thanks! it is only a super tiny torch like you would do a crème brûlée with, i don’t think I’d want to use a big one in there 🫣
Oh I'm digging that double bass sauntering in at 5:40! Interesting to see you work. The techniques and materials. An unknown world to me. Fascinating. I do know that cherished art tools become magical charms themselves over time.
The set-up might become a trial over long periods but it's interesting to see you testing out possibilities.
I'll always watch your videos.
me to love strings i used to play the cello! thank you, yes i definitely have some favourite tools, your right i think only fairly short periods of work sat like that would be realistic! thank you glad to have you along for the ride 😊
@@missnancysdayoff Wow cello? How cool is that. I love me some soaring sonorous notes 😯
I wrote my previous comment before your video was done so I want to add this. I hope to make more and more like this and keep trying with the car. With practice you’ll figure out and off a lot of things and it will get simpler. Keep trying :-)
thank you! ☺️
I fink this is my favourite video yet, I feel like this was made just for me! 😆- “this is utter madness, I’ve literally no idea what I was thinking when I thought this was a good idea!” That hit me me right in the feels as I’m in my saxo, in the rain, thinking how naive I am to have thought that the weather in Orkney was going to be favourable; living in and out of a car has its challenges! Love the vibe and I’m all for the curiosity you have that takes you to these places, never lose it. 😎
😂 that’s so funny oh my gosh, nice rainy evening in the Saxo 🙈 but tomorrow it may be sunny and you’ll make tea with everything open and think yes this is cool! All we can do is try right 😊
The worst part for me was the time where I was considering whether or not to drop my summer plans or just push on and, like you said, try! Your last yeti video gave me the inspiration and I’m here, working, in the car and I love it. Most of the time 😆
I feel like there’s synergy with your channel and more so with this one because I could identify with everything - leisure batteries, plastic containers, camping stove inconvenience, rain, dirt, space… the list goes on 🥴
❤
You could always get a small trailer itd probably be better to get a pod cravan but thats costly but a small trailer shouldnt be to bad.
The obstacle shows you the way. Embrace the limitations.
Love the idea !!
I minimalist camp using my Nissan hatchback !
Fit a little roof box to the top of your car, they're dry, lockable, and you could store clothes and things you don't need all the time inside it 😊
Thank you! 🤩 k now isn’t that even smaller than the yeti?! The box is a good idea 🙏
@missnancysdayoff Yes, a Nissan note is a bit smaller than a Yeti !!
I have a little tailgate tent that fits over the back of the car. Otherwise, my feet would get wet if it rained 🤣
Tink, one of my greyhounds does like to come along with me if I go camping, she squeezes in the back of the car alongside me.This is fine as long as its not raining , its a bit smelly with a damp dog in the back of a small car 😁
Hi Tori, thank you for your reply about swimming in the West Country. Just watched your new video. Another great video and you seemed very up beat, it is lovely to see you like that. I felt for you when you were remembering Nancy - very touching. Fascinating subject and also exciting to think about. I am looking forward to your next installment. A couple of thoughts for you - what about a roof box and have you seen these "hatchback awnings". All the best, Andy
thank you ☺️ well i try to be upbeat, not always easy! i am sure those would be welcome additions, i want to kind of try it out before i invest in too much in case it turns out to be short lived, I’ll look into this though hatchback awning sounds good, maybe i can replicate it with a tarp! 🙏
I look forward to seeing how it goes. Hatchback awnings can be quite a reasonable cost. If storage proves to be a problem I have an old Halfords top box that you are welcome to have. I don't use it anymore and it is taking up space. You will need roof bars for it though. Keep the lovely smiling faces and sense of humour coming. Andy
Another great video Tori. 👏 Like yourself I have been fascinated with the idea of living in a vehicle for some years. In fact a while ago it was pressed upon me due to being homeless. At that time I had little chance to prepare so since then I've always thought just in case and have planned what I would do in meticulous detail if that situation arose again.
A couple of dear friends of mine spent a good chunk of last year living in a small van and whilst doing that they came across a box with three abandoned guinea pigs 🐷 in it, naturally they adopted them so there were two adults and three guinea pigs in a small van. It is amazing what you can do when you need to as you said 'where there is a will, there is a way'.
I enjoyed the way you use your ingenuity to overcome problems. I would say is try to flip the negative conversation you can have with yourself so instead of using words like 'silly idea' suggesting failure view it as feedback. Like yourself I'm an inventive sort, always have been, I never see a fail as a fail it's always feedback It just gives me additional information so I can a modify my approach until it succeeds, you may iterate the process several times but ultimate the you find a successful approach. And you have demonstrated that marvellously, yes there are some kinks to iron out but you'll crack it.
I think we live in very different times so don't be surprised how society has changed we are far more mobile now then we were in the recent past. Yes decades ago it would have been frowned upon to live out of the vehicle but given that people don't want to be slaves to a mortgage doing decades of mindless work and unhappy, they are looking for alternatives. So the girl that said to you that it was a great idea you have probably inspired her to do something different and that desire was probably within her for a long time but you validated it for her just by doing what you're doing. And the young lads, I'm hardly surprised that they would be interested in doing something like that. Given that a young person now can expect to change their job a minimum of 10 times in their working life, and they will in all likelihood never own a property, plus they want time to do a fun stuff such as travel and seeing the world of course they would love to run a business out of the back of a vehicle and experience the freedom that goes with that. So more power to your elbow Tori you're doing great things, you're inspiring people, and you are making Miss Nancy proud! 🐶💖🤗
thank you 🙏 definitely not good to be forced into doing stuff like this, I bet you have a far better plan than me now then! I wonder if I will find a box of guinea pigs. If i am honest, part of me wants to find a dog abandoned somewhere and take them in. not that I want them to be abandoned of course, you understand what I mean. i’m going to keep an eye out for boxes 😂
your right, there isn’t really failure and I do feel like I have failed at some things, perhaps mainly when i think I have not tried hard enough at something. it all experience though, and trying to something the deciding you don’t like it is surely a good thing as you say, it’s all learning wat yo. do and don’t want.
yes the idea of freedom, the more I have chased it the more confusing a concept I actually think it is. but it can sure look like people who are travelling ore have more freedom. but not the freedom to have a hot shower on demand or wash their clothes 😅 it’s all an experience! I am certain that my beautiful Nancy thought I was quite mad, and still does if she is watching me 🤗🐾❤️
You did really well there I think. If it were me I'd have been driving myself mad trying to build little cabinets in every inch of spare space to hold all the stuff I didn't really need. 😝 A camper sized vehicle could be really well kitted out for something like this if done right. Pretty cool to imagine. Absolutely love your Miss Nancy pendant too by the way. 👍
I mean that does sounds like a good idea, however i promised myself no more spending months and months on woodwork so it’s going to be stuffed in plastic bags probably 🤣 thank you, keeping my girl close 🐾
lovely pendant 😊
😂 nuts, but it worked!
Insurance ? vehicle & equipment ?
Fire extinguisher ?
for any cock-ups - but you know all this if you've been doing it in your van 👍
thank you ☺️ perhaps i ought only work outside in a tent o navigate these issues 🫣
As an ex trucker there are a few 12v kettles available, they are slow to boil compared to brewing up at home but they're low draw. 😊
Thanks! I will do some research, sometimes you just really need an easy cup of tea too 😊
the pendant is lovely. so very sweet. and the vulnerable moment was just... well, i had to take a moment to go into the kitchen and cut some onions - no sense in wasting good tears.
as for the practicality of doing this long term? well, it's a good thing that you were a contortionist in the circus in your youth!
i had a thought: what about a top carrier (or a trailer hitch cargo carrier) to hold a small workshop-sized popup tent and whatever you need in the way of workshop gear? when you're ready to work, set up the tent next to the car and do your work inside. pack it up when you're done and stow it away. this will allow you to have a separate 'office/workshop' and leave the inside of your yeti as your 'home' space. no more shaking dirt out of your bed. setup and teardown would take a little more time but the tradeoff might be worth it.
as always, it's awfully nice to have a video from you show up in my feed. i admire your determination.
thank you I’m glad you like it I haven’t taken it off yet. Ahh tears in cooking always makes it taste better.
long term? honestly i think it would drive me bananas. it went well but I’ve had to make a lot of sacrifices what tools i could take so i am limited in what i can make, and honestly it’s not comfortable enough to work at it all day like that. but it’s fantastic to be able to do what I need to in there!
maybe that’s possible, i guess where Ia m stopping to work all comes into it. if i went to a campsite that would be great and I’d find it more relaxing, if there are people coming by in a public place i don’t think id want to put a tent up! ☺️
Very interesting you achieved a surprising amount it that space iam a jeweller and my workshop full of stuff ,think what you could do in a van perhaps may be a vw camper .brilliant remembering nancy.x
I did have to leave a lot behind, this is the bare minimum to make the things I sell most of. I do think to be creative and spends all day working this might not be the best! the van definitely easier. thank you ☺️🐾 x
Love the Tardis Tori 😂 Solar lights would be good for darker evenings, save battery use x
😂 thank you! I do have a little solar light, at the moment I like going to bed before it’s even dark 🫣 x
@@missnancysdayoff Haha Ditto! I've created my backyard into a little solar oasis with a small pond yet i'm asleep at 10pm 😅😅 x
Well done kid. 👍

Good morning 🌅, I was just watching 👀 a different video, about Drift Wood Art, as you walk around the countryside, you might find small pieces of wood that you could use as inspirations for pieces of art to show your jewellery et cetera On, I wish you all the success for the future, France.
Good morning! That is actually a really nice idea thank you, I will start looking 🙏
@@missnancysdayoff Good morning 🌅, not sure if you are interested, or if you have heard that you could make pendant by using resin, there is a lot on RUclips, but it can be expensive, and it might take a few attempts to get it right, France.
Beautiful Nancy pendant Tori, perhaps dogs could be a new jewellery range for you?
P.S. while camping recently in Cornwall with Mrs. S and the dogs, there was one day when i had the car doors open for a few hours. When I tried to start the car that evening, the battery was flat and I had to call the AA. So top tip, turn off the interior lights.
i want to do that! it’s a work in progress, I’m trying a few things out. oh god that is a good point about the lights i hadn’t thought of that at all, and that would really not be convenient at all! 🙏
Hang the tool of the hatch back if you can, B&Q or wicked do awesome hand wipes so you don’t need the water apart for drinking and buy a folding stool so you sit half out the car under the hatchback and can put the foot pedal on the stool. On of those collapsing ones would be perfect.
these are good ideas thank you!
With working from your car you can change the view you have as much as you want, that may give you the inspiration you want/need 😊
i hope so 🤞
You are are obviously a very practically minded person. I admire your give it a go attitude. Would you be able to get an awning to fit on the back of your car to provide more space ? Just a thought from someone who is not very practical. Hope it all works out for you.
Hi Tori just to let you know the canal boat I mentioned to you will be coming to our yard first two weeks of August if you are still interested. Let me know
awesome thanks!
Tidy Tori👍
🙏
Well done - loving your life philosophy. Can you do it? Yes, you can do - whatever you decide, you can do it. I would inclined to consider having a roll up camp table and simply sit on the back of the car as long as it’s not too windy / rainy? Spread out an old bed sheet when working inside the car so it’s easy to shake out and to wash.
Kettles, I have a 12v kettle for when I’m driving and a 650watt / 230v travel kettle. Both make I decent mug full.
Water to wash your paws - get a solar shower with a tap and a hose so when using it doesn’t drip inside the car - or place it on the car roof.
A roll up table sounds good but I’m not sure I could work on it as well as I need to hammer, then again maybe I could have a small hammering block. Often we think we need things until we try a different way! Wind is a big problem though and I cannot work outside for that reason, I nearly had to shut the boot my bits are so light. I’ll check for kettle it makes life so much easier! Dirty paws 🤣 good idea thanks!
What an achievement , just show's with a bit of intuity what can be done in a small space and don't beat yourself up and cool box we all get things wrong sometimes.
thanks ☺️
Maybe you could get a roof box for your other stuff, you can get some quite big ones, but they are rather expensive.
I think if I do it long term that is a really good plan, I want to try it for as little as possible initially incase it’s a horrible mistake 😂
You can get an inverter that runs off your car battery, they provide 240 volts and most also have a phone /laptop charger built in. I have 2 in my van a 180 watt one which is ideal for tool batteries and small items and a 6kilowatt one for heavy duty jobs in building work. I have a split charging system fitted and 2 batteries so I don't end up with the vehicle battery going flat. You can also get 12 volt electric kettles but again you would have to have the engine runnning to use it.. My van came with a hot water heater and a sink that folds up which is handy for washing grubby hands.I also carry an airbed and portable toilet for weekends away. Maybe a van woulld suit you better if you want to work and live in it, I have a high top Transit but it is not much longer than an estate car.
that all sounds extremely handy! a fold away sink and hot water heater love it. yeah long term something a bit bigger would doubtless be better so we will see! My van is pretty big and i wanted to try something smaller and more handy, your transit sounds good.
Lol. You certainly had a few tribulations during your trial run, Tori 😂
Instead of that hanging, foot pedal tool thing, could you use a Dremel multi tool? It would save a bit of space.
Either way, it’s going to be a tight squeeze in the back of that car. I mean working, obviously 😂
and I look forward to a lot more tribulations as i pursue this madness 😅you know what i was actually considering that, not as good to use but realistically better for on the go! ha tight squeeze indeed I’ll be crippled within the week 😂
I’m obsessed with watching RUclips videos about people living in cars!! I’m not sure why?? The only answer I can come up with is that it’s a small safe cosy space, a bit like when you made a cubby house as a kid? It felt like you were getting a permanent hug in that space! I def got the wrong Skoda! You don’t have as much head room in a Fabia!
yeah I don’t know but they do make it look cosy maybe it is that! honestly i still find it completely insane but also completely cool 🤣 yeah people in the low roof cars, how did Nicki Delventhal manage in that Prius i don’t think i could if i couldn’t at least sit up in the back!
@@missnancysdayoff And Nicki lived in a Prius with a chipper sunny outlook to boot. Not a mention of using a permanent catheter!. I reckon she could probably live in a shoe box and still make it instagram worthy! Cool and insane, car dwelling is def an oxymoron!
@@EYEMISSSEINFELD I don’t know how she does it, with anyone else I’d think they were probably grumpy and swearing when the camera was off but she really seems the cheerful 😂 yeah I never heard her talk to much about the toilet it does make me wonder about these people. Like what if you just really need to go! And now cousin Sarah in her car too I love it
@@missnancysdayoff I think Sarah is up to about 40k subscribers already! I’m obsessed with a Japanese Guy that camps in his Toyota Hiace. He never says a word! The whole video has a mindfulness quality as he sets up his camping equipment and he has a little GI Joe doll that he keeps panning to. I find it very amusing ruclips.net/channel/UCOCHhBjH_4-XQ2vSJsNF-fA
Congratulations, you are very good at making costume jewellery

thanks!
I hope you have told your insurance company what you do, especially the part involving flames. I personally couldn't work like this . But all the best though
it’s not how I would choose to work unless it is a means to an end, and it will be could to be able to work in there if I need too ☺️ thank you 🙏
my darling, when you tear up speaking of MIss Nancy , I feel it's so generous of you to display unabashed love- a privilege. May all the love ,peace and comfort you seek be yours. Goodnight Blue Eyes . Tom (the Yank)
🥰 thank you. I feel like I owe it to her not to pretend like i don’t think about her all the time and how I feel. my girl. 🙏
Where there’s a will there’s a way !
So true!
Hey you 🙂 xx
I hope you had a fab weekend Tori? I've been painting the toilet of the house i've just bought, oh! and my washing........Living the dream huh? lol
Well, what can i say? You certainly like a challenge babe, that's for sure. I don't know who else would try to pack a Skoda Yeti with the contents of a small 3 bedroom house except you........AND you pulled it off 😃. Mind you, how you sleep with all that under your mattress is a mystery hahaha 😅
Maybe get a roof box, "Thule" make some quality ones. It'll be ideal for storing your clothes, toiletries, food etc. Please please DON'T put you work tools and equipment in it though sweetheart, if its broken into, or anything happens to it, that's your livelihood gone.
To be honest, if i can make a suggestion, without putting a dampener on things.........perhaps only take your work tools etc out in your car for a day or two at a time? Again, if, god forbid your car gets stolen or broken into if you're away from it for any length of time, its all gone babe!
I hate being a doom and gloom merchant, but i was a prison officer for 25yrs and i just know there are lots of people out there just looking for any opportunity to steal your things........(i do a much more civilised and rewarding job now though lol 😅).
Anyway, back to the vid........I was glad i didn't see that wretched filter bottle in this one! Did you forget it? I'm sure there was some fetid swamp water around, just crying out to be filtered!! 😵💫🙂.
I love the jewellery you make Tori, even in the back of your car it looks amazing, so delicate!! How long have you been doing it? I said you were a girl of many talents.....hopefully, as your channel grows (which it is 🙂 ), some people will maybe even commission something from you?
Take care Miss Tori (if you're still awake after reading this!)......see ya soon ok xx
hey ! I( rocking p;singing your new toilet sounds pretty exciting, where is your house? totally living the dream, I wasn’t doing anything more exciting i don’t think 😅
haha yes well I’m not sure that plank was actually quite ideal to sleep on 🫣 might have to find something. thinner!
Those roof boxes do look really cool, we will see how it goes before I start investing in that, probably will have had enough after a couple of days! yeah honestly it’s a big fear getting broken into when all my stuff is in there, i worried about it all the time in the van as well. makes it not so comfortable being away from your vehicle which kind of sucks! i try to make things look as unappealing as possible but i guess you never know. fingers crossed it won’t happen 😞
haha yes wretched water filter bottle free! don’t worry I’ll make a special filtering episode just for you. then wait for me to keel over. and there was a fetid swamp right there so it was an opportunity wasted really!
thank you that’s very kind, been doing it a few years now, yes i have had orders from people who watch this channel which is so cool!
thanks you too ☺️ xx
@@missnancysdayoff
Really good to see you Tori xx
Amazing reply, thank you 🙂.........My house is in Sth. Wales, just north of Cardiff. I've literally just moved out of Cardiff but still work there.
I imagine producing these videos takes up a fair amount of your time, what with the filming, editing etc. Along with making jewellery, you must be keeping pretty busy, which is a good thing sweetheart, helps take your mind of the rubbish things in life huh?.........oh! and i loved the music you used in this one too, is it the type of music you like to listen to?
Yeah, maybe postpone investing in anything like a roof box for now then if you're only going to go on short outings. Its difficult giving up the security and creature comforts of home for too long......its nice to get away, but its also nice to get home again when your mind tells you you've had enough of the outside world for now 🙂.
I know you're sensible and would have already thought about the implications of carrying your stuff in your car. I had to say something about it though, just in case. It would break my heart if anything happened to it............and i know it would utterly devastate you babe, and that would be unbearable for me xx
Hahahaha.......Go on then, make an episode which includes actually filtering water in that contraption and make a cuppa. Get it out of your system Tori, i know you want to.............but don't come crying to me if you're s**ting through the eye of a needle for a week afterwards 😃😃. I'll just be sitting with a "told you so" smile on my face hahaha .............seriously though sweetheart, if you're going to do it, please start off with water which you can actually see through if you squint long enough, rather than go straight for the stuff glowing yellow with Plutonium 204 !!!.......Jokes aside, i REALLY don't want you getting ill, so small steps huh?
People are already ordering your jewellery?? T!hat's fab news Tori, i love the stuff you make.....perhaps i'll order something in the near future.
Take care babe and have an awesome rest of the week.......see ya soon ok 🙂 xx
Haha I do that with my oatly yoghurt too 👍🏼 If you like following RUclipsrs living in cars, have a look at Bren P Grace. He makes it look super easy! I find his videos very calming to watch too ☺️ Ps. Try hanging your motor thingy on the grab handle above the door? ☺️X
My first thoughts were 'where the hell did all the boxes suddenly come from?! lol. hope it works out well for you!
😅 so many boxes, thank you me too !
Good morning 🌅, that great day, at work, if you are careful, you can make a hanging bracket to hook on the back edge of your vehicle so you can attach your Dremel machine to it, I know there is a device that has got the clamp on it that allows you to hang it off a hook at the top, I have seen people put an extension on the back. Are there vehicle to make a camping area?, That you could obviously use as a workshop., need to be very careful with fumes from when you’re doing soldering or chemicals who are using, obviously I do not know your circumstances, but I have been to offence years ago, where people have a workshop, a caravan to work in, with a horning on the side as a display place to show your Products you make, the countryside looks nice, though it looks a bit windy, do you do craft fairs?, Or have you thought about doing it?, I have done them years ago where I’ve used my van to sell things that I’ve made, and I have done renovation projects where I have worked in my van and slept in my van as well. You just have to make sure that way you sleep as well covered up., And obviously there are vans and there are vans, I have a long wheelbase sprinter, excellent for doing work if it’s raining and obviously sleeping as well, in the region where I live in France there are people called artisan, they make anything from Woodturning to pottery sewing jewellery et cetera,
When I first started working for myself , I had a very small workshop, I would buy secondhand furniture from auction houses and restore them and then put them back into auction and make some money sometimes, I ended up getting commission work to make furniture, et cetera, I ended up doing specialist joinery work for restoring Barnes conversions, and renovation projects, , et cetera, It might be worth buying secondhand jewellery, and taking it apart and remaking it into something new and modern, or even creating pieces of art,
I wish you all the success for the future , Keep up the great work and stay positive, I would say that you could have my caravan which is in my garden, but you will need a very large truck to pull it, France,
hey! thanks for the good ideas. I’ve actually never done a craft fair with my jewellery but maybe i should! I usually make stuff to order, but i am going to start doing some new things i can make in advance. windy as heck everywhere i go! your work sounds great, I’d love to restore furniture etc. that could definitely be a fun idea with the jewellery as well, it’s good to recycle/upcycle things. sounds like you have a nice peaceful place out there in France, and thanks for the caravan offer, not quite sure I am ready to pull one of those! 🙏☺️
@@missnancysdayoff Good morning/evening, I am so glad that I have been able to help, there is a lot on RUclips, Wood Art. Sculpture., Et cetera,
I don’t know why, but there seems to be a lot of females over in the US and Canada , that are into Woodcraft, and Woodturning which another thing that is very interesting as well, but that will cost a lot of money to set up, there is one thing I should say that if you do a craft fair with jewellery, you must make sure that it’s behind a cabinet or out of reach so people cannot pinch or thief, something else that might be of some help or interest, is contacting some of the colleges and schools in your area, they might do evening classes where they will teach you turning woodcraft et cetera and even furniture restoration, Are used to teach in the evenings at a college near where I used to live for about six or seven years, teaching furniture restoration, I had a wide group of students, from an 18 year-old to 82-year-old, It was very interesting and good fun. Had a good banter with a lot of students , got to a point where people’s birthdays were bringing cakes and have a celebration, over the years I have restored a lot of furniture some very very valuable, I have made furniture for two universities in Cambridge, and I have worked as a contract worker at a organ building company, As they were short on a specialist machine operator, I even still have a lot of my machines and tools, I am a present trying to restore an old mill, which I’ve turned into a dwelling , so it still needs a lot of work to it , it’s got the main essentials like bathrooms, kitchens and dining rooms and lounge , and a huge garden with a stream/river , and I’m in the process of building a workshop/garage, I wish you all success for the future, if I can help in any other way, I will try, stay safe, look 👀 forward to your next project on RUclips, France.
I'm guessing we're seeing the more regular Tori now. I like (But then I did from the start.)! I think working in the car id a great idea. However, I imagine cramp would soon set in at some point. As for having the woof in the mix? Hmmm! Scattered jewellery contents doesn't sound promising.
Next question, I s;pose is can you not get some kind of specialists gloves for keeping hands clean and products free from mussing up? Maybe something similar to museum readers gloves.
Nice, whimsical vid this. All you need is to chase your dreams. Just be prepared for the certain stumbling blocks (Which I know you can overcome.). Oh! Btw, I'd love to own a Nancy Pendant. If there's a way to obtain one, suggestions would be nice. I'll even pass on my address for you and, of course, pay for pendant and postage!!
Usual rules girl. Well, Happy, Safe, and all that stuff!
Love ya, Wolfie.
Thanks! Your not wrong, can’t remember if I cut is cause I talked too much and it was about 35 mins long at first but yes after a couple of hrs distinctly uncomfortable, could not do it for longer. The thing is with gloves you just can’t get the grip and dexterity you need, not in my experience anyway. Thats why my hands are always filthy and dry 😂 it often feels like life is nothing but stumbling blocks but it’s good to try stuff I think; even if you end up not liking it! I’d love to make you a Miss Nancy, thank you! She was my first prototype. I will make some more 🥰
@@missnancysdayoff Hi again! So how about those latex gloves? Would they be better? I am definitely up for a Nance pendant/pin. Just lemme know the price (So uncouth, I know. Sorry) and I'll be happy to buy it/them. I didn't say so in the main comments but when you are a little more relaxed and happy, it makes you more gorgeous that I've yet seen you. That doesn't mean you "ain't lovely! anyway.
Keep that good spirit you have.
Love ya. And still looking for another Nancy, should you think of getting another furry sprinter.
Take care. Wolfie.
🤗😁
Oh, if only I were rich! I would love to buy you a decent 2-bed house with enough room for you and friends, rental on workshop space, and ten times that for animal rescue!
But I can't
All I can do is wish you well, admire what you do, and fervently wish you all the best - you are a fine human being
now that is very generous, should you ever become horrible rich just let me know! all the animals 🥰
thank you and the same to you ☺️🙏
@@missnancysdayoff I shall message you immediately!
Fingers crossed

Wow, this would be a major change, and I think you need to think very carefully about if you were to make this permanent. How about a smaller van, something where you could actually sit properly - sitting like you were in this video will hurt and possibly do some serious damage..
I think the portable workshop idea is good though, making the plank into more of a box, possibly with a hinged lid, would allow you to fold up and put away very quickly, and also set up very quickly. Just an idea, enjoyed your video, thank you.
you’re not wrong it did hurt after a couple of hours! I actually do consider a smaller van, but I kind of wanted to test it out first in the vehicle I already have to see if I actually liked it or not. I’m not sure how long I’m going to want to be on the road really! that is a brilliant idea for the table though i need to think about that thanks! ☺️
@@missnancysdayoff your body is very precious, if you damage it it can take a long time to fix. Take care. X
what about cutting off the coolbox handle and replace with rope handle?
not bad idea!
Hello Tori again😅, Your motor needs to be hung up - I notice you have roof handles either side of the INSIDE of vehicle...how about getting bungee cable with the hooks either end and hook the ends on the roof handles across the car threaded through the motor handle? Also Asda are selling a ground sheet that self inflates at around £15 which with the bedding you already have may make it more comfy? 😮Take Care
hey! i agree it does, and I did consider the hooks but the motor is pretty heavy and i was slightly concerned it would rip them right out. maybe i should just try it 🫣 self inflating groundsheet sounds interesting thanks! ☺️
@@missnancysdayoff Good point, did not realise it was that heavy😊Another alternative would be to hang it from the back door metal hinge, but that of course would only be when the weather was okay! Problems problems 🫣🤔
@@missnancysdayoffAlso Dunhelm has sheets of sponge seat padding different thicknesses/sizes👍
Hi Tori, guess its okay as a sort of adventure for maybe a few days while away, but you really are so limited for space in a car. Your camper van was good tho, you had everything there you needed, and cooking facilities, washing etc etc. You take care, blessings.
you’re right there, yes it’s true the van had a lot more facilities! 🙏
Have you thought about getting a roof box ? it would free up loads of space, and what about privacy ? its a bit like sleeping in a green house with all those windows,. I'm guessing the van seems a little empty without the company of nancy drew ? security would be better in the van to, anyway stay safe and be vigilant out there, your videos are a breath of fresh air,.
I think if I end up liking being in the car a roof box is a good plan. Definitely be putting up blackout blinds in all the windows for privacy when sleeping trying to be as stealth as possible, it did feel like everyone was looking when I was working. You’re right the van doesn’t feel right without my Nancy Drew. Do you really think vans are safer? Thank you I’m glad you like the vids 😊
@@missnancysdayoff Standing up is a big plus with the van and your across the van bed looks cosy, side door is a big bonus to, i had a little road trip to france and belgium and decided to sleep in the car, ive got a ford mondeo hatch back with those black tinted rear windows (can see out but not in) maybe thats an idea for the yetti ?, small fold up mattress in back with seats folded down, it was brilliant, saved me a couple of hundred quid on hotels, on the yetti get the rear dark tinted and a lighter (legal tint) on the front side windows, just need one of those silver front widow blinds on screen, good window tinting would be £200+ not cheap but better than faffing with blinds,. secure safe parking with some pepper spray (allegedly) illegal, so use a can of deep heat instead, .its good to have toilets and washing facilities near by to, you seem well sorted so no probs, cheers ,.
Hi Tori .Are you still interested in the canal boat life. If so I can give you some advice. Boats come in all sizes from 40ft to 60 ftand prices from cheap small second hand to expensive brand new. Licence fees vary with length and use.there are 3 types of licence . First leasure use holidays weekend etc. Second live aboard which is self explanatory and third continuous cruising which should suit you It is fully legal unlike van living. All facilities include hot and cold running water heating shower and toilet as well as cooking facilities and insulation for winter living . Number of beds depends on length with plenty of room to use as a business. A friend of mine buys old second hand boats renovates them and sells on . He has one up for sale now if you would like to call and see. .Let me know if this appeals to you
hello, I am interested yes thank you. interesting about the different licenses too, and with the cruising one you don’t have to move everyday i think? I’d want a small one that was easy to fit places 😅 that sounds interesting thank you, is he up in Manchester near you?
Can the motor thingy,(tech term there😂) not be hung on the handle behind your head on bungee?
well maybe, it’s really heavy though I’m not sure if it will break the handle! 😂
I’ve just noticed watching this for the second time if you turn the cool box around having the lead opening hold on then you won’t be able to open the fasteners sorry thought I had a constructive solution it turns out I don’t and I’m actually a Fool 😂
😂 well if you are a fool I am too because I did try that 🤦♀️
@@missnancysdayoff It will probably take your time you will find a solution for this at some point 🙏
Far be it from me to broach the subject of grimy practicalities but where are the toilet and shower in this vehicle?
😂 well spacious though the yeti is I think installing an inside shower would be pushing it a bit: I do have toilet facilities for desperate times!
why dont you work the other way so like a seat outside and then maybe a plastic cover over your tailgate and then mosy of dirt would be outside etc just a ideal
this could be a good plan!
i did have to laugh seeing you work out of your car as your nice and slim
how on earth could i as i am a very large bloke my god you will need to have a tin
opener 😂trying to get out may be you could get a car tent so you an make more room
take care lovely lady kkep smilling👍👍
This cracked me up 😂 you’ve got a good point, I’m fairly tall but lanky, a big person would really be struggling 🫢 then again you probably wouldn’t be daft enough to think it was a good idea to work in your car 🙈
