  • In this video we hop on the ferry back to the main land, and decided to cross BC to see the interior towns in winter conditions. The weather went from warm to cold, to warm again and wet to dry to snow to wet. You never know what Spring in BC will bring.

    The milk story reminds me of when I was a kid! I was born in ‘86, and am the oldest of four kids! Whenever I was thirsty I would drink milk, not water or soft drinks! My mom was always on my case, bec water was free, and a container of milk was getting more expensive every year, but I hated it lol! Im turning 38 this year, and I still prefer milk over water, sodas, beer, etc etc!
    Always my best to you four 👍🏼👏🏼🤙🏼😀

      @randallsmodernlife  5 месяцев назад +2

      Haha our childhoods had that in common. Mom always complaining about how much milk she has to buy. And I say it’s a healthier beverage than beer! If you have to be addicted to something, good grass fed whole milk is not a bad option!

    Keep putting out content regularly. You have the blueprint. Van/camper life. Beautiful scenery. Great homemade food. Cute dogs. And most importantly you are a very likeable couple that are being you. You’re not pushing some fake energy for likes and views. I fully support you both and the pups and I wish you much success.

    Hey! Good to see another video from you and Esther! Loved the ferry ride and the shots of the coastline. What city was that perched on the hillside? Amazing high-rise buildings. Can only imagine the cost of an apartment overlooking the bay. Didn't see your motorcycle on the back of your RV; or did you take it off to drive back up onto the roadway? Will definitely continue to spread the word about your channel. Great content-positive vibes. I know the reality that every day on the road isn't "peaches & ice-cream" but everyday doesn't have to be "dark, negative & crappy" either. That's what's great about your channel. By the way, which is better Paypal-A$$Gas or Grass or RUclips- 🖤Thanks? I guess, either way, someone is going to get a cut, huh? 😁Be safe on the road!

    • @randallsmodernlife
      @randallsmodernlife  5 месяцев назад +1

      Haha to true, everyone wants a cut! Either is good, I think RUclips will promote our videos more if you donate through them? Would really appreciate anything, thanks Odell!
      The city was Vancouver. It’s a beautiful place to live, especially when the summers roll around. But the cost of living is the second highest in the world behind Hong Kong, so unfortunately unaffordable for the average Randall haha I left my bike in storage for the trip into the interior. There’s a lot of salt on the roads out here that will really mess up and corrode it, so I thought better to store my baby for this trip.

    • @randallsmodernlife
      @randallsmodernlife  4 месяца назад

      Good question. The water tank is inside the build, and the diesel heater sits right next to it to keep warm. Grey water is also inside under the sink. Black water is below but somehow we’ve gotten away with it not freezing.
