A lot of people make the mistake of trying to drive too far in one day find a campsite early like around 3 o'clock so you can enjoy the trip instead of just driving.
You should mount some motion sensitive lights on the outside of your van so if there's something out there you can actually see and when the lights come on do usually scare people away and animals
She’s happy and healthy!! Sorry i misspoke, that might be in the next video or one after.. turns out I’m way behind on editing what i filmed🤣 thank you for watching and the care for Cass!
:-) Fun video, reminds me I haven't used my Instant pot in months. The only reason I bought it was to do pot roast, but made some homemade soup a few times too. Favorite channel right now is Fab Rats. I used to watch Foresty Forest for his hiking in the Canadian Rockies (love the views) and his cooking. He started out with an old crock pot and eventually got something newer and more versatile. He makes some pretty tasty looking meals. He got a Jack Russell a few months back and she has SO much energy, I could never keep up with her. LOL
Just discovered your channel. The pluses, I think your easy on the eyes, Cassie is the real cutie of this show, and your voice is soothing. I have been exploring several lifestyles as I plan for an early retirement. There is quite the pull to just drive. You show some realness that other Van Living videos don't show. The internet is full of disingenuous lifestyle motifs. You asked about favorite you tubers. My current obsession is Tyler and Todd. Check out their adventure which started out like yours in a van, then they evolved. Hope you interact with your viewers. I'd love to hear back from you.
Thank you Tim!!! If the road is calling you, follow that calling!! Even if it’s short lived you’ll appreciate it!! I will check them out!! I hope the van can evolve into a school bus or toy hauler someday, and end run dream being a tiny home/homestead with a racetrack on it
: ) i don't know why you think your videos are bad. They're not at all. I've already watched 2 and I'm going to keep going. Keep it up. The longer you do it the more better you'll get, but you're doing pretty damn good.
hey man - I like how your van turned out. Just would be nice if you had a roomtour of the van. My experience with dog & car is that it helped to have the dog on the floor at my feet during the driving. That way he satyed more relaxed and not get sick. I would remove the passengerseat in your van, and replace it with a storagebox (maybe the dometic!) and have a large cushin on top for Cassie to lie on. Just a thought... nice video! take care budd!
Sauteed onions....I'm with you on the chicken prep. Get some bleach wipes to use on your countertop & anywhere you set the chicken better than hot water. Glad to see you concerned about that! From 1 Iowan to another😉
I'm interested in seeing you explore abandoned places. My favorite youtuber at the moment is Base Camp Chris. His videos are about people who believe that have had encounters with Big Foot. He puts out new videos every Sunday. :)
Vancity vanlife was my inspiration to do vlogs when i first built the van and I never committed to it!!! I almost bought an English Bulldog way back when too haha love them!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
:) . Your videos are fun to watch! I really wish that I had some of that chicken; looked good. I am also pretty anal about cooking and handling chicken. Cassie looks like a really sweet dog and a great companion for travelling. That snow looked awesome coming down. I live in WV and we actually had WAY below normal snow fall this winter; so yeah, seeing the snow in the video was all good. Stay safe!
I didnt see much snow this winter and came here hoping to catch one snow storm and might have got lucky with the last one! Chicken is my main meal and it still just weirds me out, I am blessed to have found Cassie without a doubt!!
I love Nebraska !! Not many do but I used to drive trk and I have traveled your route many times….i always enjoyed it. Sucks about the ticks from the previous video …
This video really was not boring at all by the way. I watched all the way through without fast-forwarding and I can't say that about every RUclips video.
:). I don’t have a favorite RUclipsr because they’re all Van people and I like them all. Brilliant idea putting cheese between corn tortillas like that. I’m definitely doing that. Cassie is a gorgeous dog. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventure.
Im so stoked I ended up on your youtube if you watch a lot of other van lifers!! Hahaha the tortillas are so good like that, especially if cooked on a pan.. Thank you Storm!
Scarlet and Seth are a fave right now... Mariah Alice hasn't been posting much... And of course, really enjoying traveling vicariously through you and Cassie
Dog! Be careful ticks are no joke. Someone I know used to walk his dogs early in the morning when deer were around and he got bit by a tick and had to have a pacemaker put in his chest and he was only in his thirties.
I watch such a wide array of diff kinds of videos, I don't really have a fav. But, VibinWitTay makes me actually LOL. I don't know how much space you have for extra food, but if you're back on tacos, do a double-decker taco w/ the soft taco on the outside, some refried beans, then a hard shell or crispy soft shell then all the taco stuff inside that. oh! and here's your :)
My current fave youtuber is Ryan twomey. People also love those no talking daily vlogs too. Just watching others do normal activities can be relaxing :)
Favorite channel right now is Simple Living Alaska, been watching Eric and Arrielle for several years now. They feel like family. Also enjoy Life Uncontained, Foresty Forest, and Kyle's Cabin.....:)
Hey, Dan & Cassie... So here's the deal, Lakeside 🤡Amusement Park🤡 isn't abandoned. It was either closed for the season or you drove past on night that it wasn't open. And as far as breaking into it, the entire town is around 2 square miles and it has close to 20 Police Officers patrolling, crazy huh?? FWI, Colorado has almost 30 Santiago's Restaurants in it, you can't blink w/o seeing another one. As far as Tick's and Fleas on our pet's, you get a bottle of Chewable's from most Pet Supply Stores or from a Veterinarian's office. The dog chews the tablet and about an hour later the tick's are dead, effect for about a month. Good Luck and Safe Journeys 🤙🤙🤙
😀 I like the video, and I don’t watch RUclips that often to really watch someone regularly. I am a native of CO till 3 yrs ago, and sometimes my heart aches to be back there in those mountains I worked in Telluride for 8 yr and one thing is for sure, It can snow anytime in those mountains! I look forward to following your adventures.. Safe travels
Another cool video.. U cook i like watch n cook n parts gives me new ideas when i cook. I watch many utube van lifers no fav tho. Be safe 🙂💜. Oh n glad u n the dog are tick free.
Favourite youtuber...I really enjoy Sandi Brock,A Bus Life Story,Leave Jaylena Wild, Cheaprvliving l,Mav,FishNMore and now I think Im digging your journey hope your furkid is doing well 🙂🤙🏼
I watched to the end. You need to stop doubting yourself and your videos. I think they are great. Prayers and love 🙏 ❤. Be safe and vigilant on your journey 😊.
My favorite you tuber lately is a mix between you and Christine Meachum ( also a van life traveler) omg your food looks SO good!! Mmmm 😋 been loving your videos! Give Cassie a hug for me 😊 Btw none of your videos have been boring one bit
♥ loved your video!!!! So sorry for your challenges!!! 🐕🕷🍟 Cassie is a beautiful dog!!!!! She's lucky to have such a good owner!!!! ♥ HAVE FUN!!!! BE SAFE!!!
😊 you should do abandoned place but not if your going to get in trouble an your viedos are not boring and my favorite RUclips channel is the ingham's and your!
Hey just a suggestion if u want to stay away from chemicals for cleaning down ur bench u can use a white vingar, lemon juice and water mix, its perfect.
What are the bed bugs you speak of. What we know as bed bugs are literally in the seams of the bed and crawl out at night to feed on your blood but definitely don’t fly. Watching from an island off the West coast of Scotland 🏴🏴
I subscribe to a ton of automotive channels and all of the big ones…but my favorite by far is Puddin’s Fab Shop. He’s a small channel but growing so fast and he’s is extremely enjoyable to watch because he doesn’t take himself seriously. If you like old cars and mini trucks with some patina, slammed on air ride you’ll enjoy it. :)
I subscribed and came to watch some of your older videos. My first one seeing of yours was I think the first part of this one "where you was leaving Iowa". My favorite vlogger is The Nomatic Movement, been watching their content for years.
You have a really cool chanell.When you discovered that car with the broken window and that had been rifles through, i would have left,Scary.Keep up the cool videos.Thanks.
Enjoying your videos,the mountains are beautiful!! You might try an adaptal collar for Cassie.They,re calming collars,work really well for my dogs. love the fox!! Be safe
😊 FYI you shouldn't assume that your videos are boring. There are people out here that are living vicariously through you.
😊
Thank you so much Marva!!! I genuinely appreciate you saying that!! A new video just uploaded of making some pizza in the mountains!😊
@@DanVanLife I agree! Your videos are not boring at all. I am a mountain girl who loves dogs and Van life! ❤ your channel is great.
A lot of people make the mistake of trying to drive too far in one day find a campsite early like around 3 o'clock so you can enjoy the trip instead of just driving.
I used to be really bad about going from start to finish even if it’s 12 hour+, getting better at taking it slow!
You should mount some motion sensitive lights on the outside of your van so if there's something out there you can actually see and when the lights come on do usually scare people away and animals
I have considered that for a long time, I’ll add it to my list!
@@DanVanLife you will find that that list never ends sometimes it gets a little shorter, good luck
:) you forgot to tell us about Cassie’s overnight vet visit 🥺 I was waiting and worrying. Hope she’s doing well ❤️ Love the videos!!!
She’s happy and healthy!! Sorry i misspoke, that might be in the next video or one after.. turns out I’m way behind on editing what i filmed🤣 thank you for watching and the care for Cass!
@@DanVanLife dog
Well right now I really like your videos
:)
@@DanVanLife dog and ;) or was it :). Lol idk but I watched both episodes til the end 😂🎉
Vicarious indeed!
😊 this was not a boring video at all. OMG I love abandoned places too! Your tacos look delicious.
Glad you enjoyed!
Not boring at all, loving your videos, loving Cassie as well. Stay safe you two and happy travels. 😘
Thank you for watching and saying that, a new video just released on the channel!!
:-) I love seeing people living in and using their van.
Thank you for watching and the content D Laurent!! 🙏🏼
COOL vlog🎉😅😊.....
14:30 ingenious. I’m going to do that with my tortillas from now on. ‘Til the end :)
Sooo much better when done on a stove top too!!! Thank you for watching and commenting, a new video just released on the channel!!
😊 Great van and beautiful pup!
I very much appreciated the cooking segment. A nice surprise. I hope you do it again and show how you do it. Post your recipes.
Aloha Dan - you underestimate how enjoyable your videos are :)
Thank you so much!! A long video just released!

What a GREAT idea to put cheese between 2 corn tortillas!! 👍

Dog! Good luck on your trip and keep that “safety device” handy!! Stay safe!
Love the way do your videos. Your real!!!! It would be awesome to see your abandoned places when you do stop. 😊

Mav and vancity vanlife are my fav channels currently for vanlife , jimmy oakes ricer miata and dj no way are the car channels on the top for me !
Abandoned places, ideally haunted, yes! Current favorite RUclipsr in that arena is Jasko. Thanks for the videos!
