Oh, try opening packages before you leave the store parking lot. Sometimes they have recycling bins out front, either way the packaging can be properly disposed of before you put it away.
Yes! Great suggestion.
i do this too. i'm also an amazon addict, and i always upack when i pick up and toss out excess packaging immediately.
The pillow as storage is awesome, I never thought of it
Thank you Sherrell!
this woman is brilliant! i ssy that with a 😁 because j thought i invented the decorative pillows as storage in my van. soooo much added storage hidden in a touch of glam ☺️.
I don’t understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down!
Great ideas - I especially like the idea with rolling up the puzzle - we do puzzles all the time. Also like cutting up trash to reduce space - I’m using that next time.
I’m glad you liked it! It was a good find for me. ☺️
I’ve watched soooo many vanlife videos and space saving vanlife videos, one that I really like is using a plastic cereal container as the bin, also good for compost veg scraps in the home
Nice! Good hack 🤗
Good hack. Thank you
I love hacks of all kinds because they make you rethink situations that might normally cost money, time and space!
So glad you find them helpful☺️
Clever ideas! I especially like the idea of cutting up packaging.
Thank you 😊
Congrats on your popularity on RUclips . I love seeing what new ideas that you have to share. Love the pillows as we all need extra space
Thank you Dawn. I appreciate the encouragement ☺️💃🏻🐞🚗
Love the pillow blanket. And the pillow covers for storage. I cut up things to put in trash also, even at home. Love your ideas.
Thank you, Toni!😊
Cutting up the rubbish is genius! Mind blown! Your smile is infectious 🙂
Thank you Angela!
I loved the hacks!! I think you are so awesome and inspiring...I'm purchasing things over time to create my travel van with. I've been looking all over for a van like yours because I like the size and shape of it...someday! Thanks for sharing!
You are so very welcome! 😊
Great ideas. I use pillow cases too. I recycle my old sheets and clothes that way for my dog's bed. I've also seen some people do the recycling cut up then push into a plastic bottle and call them Ecobricks. I believe there is a place you can send-in Ecobricks and they actually repurposes them. Great channel!
Yes I’ve seen those too!!! Thanks for the great suggestions.
The pillow cover is... 😦 SO CLEVER! Thank you!
Thank you, Johnny! It was a great find.☺️
Awesome 👍 love how you cut down your trash 🗑️ making it safe for the encouragement and in case it blows around out of the trash 🗑️ container when it leaves your van home awesome enthusiasm
Thank you🤗
It’s late here! 1:42 am, my mind is running with memories of not so good of times in years past! I see your video popped up and they went away ! I’ll tell you about them someday when we can sit down and talk! Listening to you talk soothes me! Thank you!
Deal! Glad you are enjoying the channel🐞💃🏻🚗☺️
Yep we've grown up in large family of 14 and cutting, tearing down and flattening for more space is awedome
Nice! It is a never-ending process!!!☺️
SOOOOO glad that the disrespectful comment I had the displeasure of reading earlier is gone!! I went to find it in order to 👎🏻 his rudeness or maybe reply to tell him that he was on the wrong channel! Because, CLEARLY YOU ARE A CLASS ACT!!!!
His rude comment is still there under Fe Lute comment/replies.
I think I got it removed this time🤗 Thanks for caring and watching out for me ladies☺️very kind of you both!
Really enjoying your videos. Perhaps I missed it, but I’d love to see an intro video in which we learn more about your story and why you have the Ladybug van.
Thank you, Sandra! Yes, I do plan on doing a video on that. ☺️
I’m building out my transit connect right now and I’m so glad I stumbled across your video! I love the pillows as storage and the laundry strips! Thanks for sharing!
Yay!!! Glad it is helpful info.
Each trip we fine-tune, love watching and learning little tips for inspiration, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you. I am same way🤗
Great video. Such useful ideas no matter what size rig you're in. Keep em coming👍
You’re the best☺️
Thank you for sharing your wisdom that makes living in a small space doable and enjoyable as well
You are very welcome☺️
I've always shredded my paper, and broke down my boxes. At. home and camping!!!
Another inspirational video. Thanks for providing the link for the towels and other products.
Thank you, Stacey! You are very welcome.☺️
I love the stuffing the pillow idea! Thank you!
You are welcome!☺️
After watching your other video showing the Voited blanket pillow, I whipped up a waterproof cushion cover (made from PUL so it's fabric on one side and laminated on the inside) to put my kid's sleeping bag in.
Now it does double duty in the car when we go camping in the back of our Prius! 😊
Wow!
@@LadyBugout I'm so glad you showed your blanket/cushion. It's such a good idea! 😊
Every video of yours is full of great ideas. And you have such a lovely presentation. I always look forward! And yay! You are at almost 2000 subscribers!!!
Awww thank you, Lynne Marie! I am so thankful that you watch and find them useful. And thanks for noticing about subscriptions☺️🥳yippee!!!
@@LadyBugout can I just chime in here that in 2 weeks you got 1500 subs!!! Awesome job!!!
Love the pillow blanket but can’t fine the creamy fleece you have. The white looks so fresh real
Hmmmm. 🤔 I’m not sure why you are not able to find it.
Excellent tips! Thank you so much for sharing. I am in the planning stage right now, so can use tips so that I don't buy unnecessary stuff!
So glad you find it useful! Thanks for watching.
Great video, Dee! I especially love the blanket hack!
Thanks. Yes, it saves so much space🤗
Your videos are awesome, I am in the middle of a van build and will be going on a 2 week solo trip soon....I've used so many of your suggestions! Your a true minimalist! Thank you!
Thank you for such encouraging words. Safe travels!!!
More great 💡 ideas. Love how quickly your channel is growing♥️👍🏼
Thank you Matilda! I appreciate you watching☺️
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I am kinda OCD ( not diagnosed lol) and I am grown to love small spaces! So happy to learn about your wonderful hacks! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.... your organized, cozy little home away from home on wheels!
Thank you so much Rita!
Love the Norwex towel idea! I've never heard of those. I was at Cabelas today and almost bought a camping towel. A regular towel takes up too much space and too long to dry. Thanks!
Glad it is helpful. They are a little expensive, but it is so worth it!
Loving your RUclips channel. Full of great ideas and presented in a lively concise way!
Thank you again, Fiona! I’m glad they are helpful.
Hi Dee. I already do the microfiber towels and laundry detergent sheets. But the cutting your trash hack is a winner!
Nice!
Thank you for all the good content. It truly helps someone starting out to know what works for others. Congratulations on the success of your channel!
Thank you! I’m so glad it is helpful☺️
Great job. Thank you!
Thank you Kim☺️

You’re welcome! ☺️
I love love love the puzzle hack! I am not yet on the road as my son and I are looking for a van for me(he has his own). I love puzzles and was trying to figure out how to outfit a van to accommodate a puzzle in progress. Thanks for the tip!
It is awesome! I love puzzles too☺️
Your videos are very inspiring. If started the process of finding my own small van. Stepping out of my comfort zone is good, thanks.
Thank you, Robert! Glad to hear you are stepping out of your comfort zone☺️
I love all your ideas! Now why didn't I ever think of cutting up the trash?!? I know some people use a 5 gallon bucket with gamma lid for "smelly" things when they don't have access to a dumpster for a few days. I was going to try that in a 2 gallon size, but even that will take up too much space I feel in my little Kia Soul. I planned on getting a couple cute pillow covers for a jacket & blanket perhaps. Love your "blanket pillow"! I have microfiber towels on my list. I love the packaged quinoa, etc. idea. I have to say I absolutely love the laundry strips most of all. I didn't even know such a thing existed!! Thank you so very much for sharing all your great finds. Love your videos.
Thank you! I am glad you find some of the ideas useful to you as you plan for your build. Have fun!!!🐞🚗💃🏻
Great Hacks, I agree any idea to be compact, efficient and still provide convenience is the upmost.

Thank you, JP. That means a lot to me!
Big thanks from the uk I live in my van and love your little van
Thank you. My pleasure! ☺️
Oh the trash bag hack is good! I use the pillow and towel ones too.
I have gotten some not so useful laundry detergent strips like that. Do you stick yours in the machine with the clothes? I’d assume they’d gloop up in the machine where the liquid usually goes
But also I tend to get groceries in a parking lot, bring the cart back and pre cut/ peel carrots and other veg so I can throw those food scraps out right away if I have the time. I use some oxo storage containers for food like rice, dry beans, etc and so after a grocery trip I’ll take the crackers, beans, nuts, etc and put them into my containers so I can throw the big containers that came with the food away in the parking lot. If there’s too much for a container, I have reusable stasher bags I put the remaining food into. For such a tiny van as the transit connect I find this works best for me.
Great tips! Thank you. As for the laundry strips, I just throw them in. They don’t cause me any issues.
As always. Great ideas. I also love jigsaw puzzles. I'll add the roll up thingy to my list. And I love the hack where you cut up your trash. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Barbara!
Love the pillows x
Thank you, Rebecca!
Fantastic space saving hack ideas! There’s those boots again🤣 I ordered a pair last night, I’m so excited to get them, I hope I ordered the right size🤦🏼♀️

How's the cooking and shower! Show us please!
Thanks
Thank you so much for always being so encouraging! Here are links to those videos: ruclips.net/video/dY2kQbs_YI8/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/7kJPaVJMU3M/видео.html. In some upcoming videos, I plan to do more 'day in the life' for you all to get a better idea of how it all works for me.
How awesome, loved your hacks! Liked and subscribed, thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that Deb! Welcome to the channel😌
You are so helpful and cool.
Thank you Karen! 😌
Your ideas ARE GREAT! THANKS...!! 👍🏼👣😷
Thank you Alva!
just ordered the voited blanket!! perfect was looking for a warm one
Nice! It’s a really warm and comfortable blanket☺️
I rip up and cut up my recyclables too! Saves so much room! Good video!
Me too!
Yay! Yes, it is so satisfying😜
Boa noite menina beijos linda
Please don't cut up your recyclables!! Plastics below a certain size are either too small for certain machines or such a hassle to recycle they end up being designated as garbage!
I love your hacks!
So glad you like them💃🏻
Awesome video thank you
Thank you so much!
🌼 Nice hacks! Thank you for sharing!
Yay, glad you like it!
You are so cute! I don't have a van but really enjoy watching your video! Love your ideas that can be used not only in the van
Thank you so much☺️
I have watched a lots of videos about vanlife and I didn't see some of yours anywhere else. Thanks : ).
Thank you Charlotte! That means a lot ☺️
Smart ideas.😊
Glad you like them!

I’m so glad you find it helpful.🤗
You have the best energy... your smile is so contagious! I find myself grinning from ear to ear while watching you. Hope I meet you on the road someday. Your information is so valuable.
Thank you Lisa! That’s so kind of you to say☺️ I hope we meet someday on the road too!
What you have as your #1, is the most obvious hack... that many of us do daily in Europe as garbage disposal is so expensive.
My ABSOLUTE #1 of your 5 is defo the Blanckets that fold up into themselves. I gotta get a couple of those, like, right now. Fantastic, I hope they ship to 🇨🇭. Thanks and greets, Steve
Hahaha yep you are way ahead of me!!!
thank you for the hacks!!
You are welcome!
Good one
Thanks Susan!
