    No apology necessary,,, The heater is all part of the experience ...... And what a GREAT LOCATION,,, Snow, Wind, and the whole Van so well equipped ..... I wish I was 40 yrs younger to do it all over again,,, enjoy every second to the MAX .... I had a van in the 70's, 80's, 90's and I really miss it,,, so many things I think of now I should have done then,, so whatever crazy adventure idea you have, DO IT,, you'll be glad you did !!!!!

    Pro tip: when scraping food from your cutting board, turn the knife over to scrape with the blunt edge. This will save your blade!

    • @lackofdubs5975
      @lackofdubs5975 9 месяцев назад +2

      Lightly brushing a knife over a block won't dull it as quick as most think.. you will have to sharpen it faster, but the difference is so minimal.

The thing that hooked me early on about your videos is your attention to the soundscape.. You have such artistry in your use of ambient sound, music, and silence. Combined with your videography, your channel is a joy to follow.. If I were a blind man, I would still watch your videos. Your comment about the heater sound, prompted my comment.

    A lot of years ago now I drove a sprinter van, it was done out to accommodate our four children and two dogs. I loved it, my husband worked on the oil rigs so a lot of the time it was just me taking the kids all over.,the only thing I found was in the bad weather it didn’t hold as well on the roads as I would have liked.. yours is brilliant. I miss those years, however we have 8 grandkids now and we bought a holiday home instead, my health isn’t what it used to be but I still help out as much as I can.
