  • Van Life just got a whole lot cozier! As winter approaches, the nights have been dipping below 20 degrees, which means it is time to make some big changes to the van so we are well prepared for snow, wind, and chilly nights.
    Thanks for watching everyone :)

    So, I'm African and have lived in Europe for 5 years, during which I just spent the winters hating the weather. Only now, almost 10 years after coming back home, I start having an appreciation for colder climates and that's all thanks to you, Linnea! In fact, I have a renewed appreciation for all seasons, since they all bring something exciting and challenging. Still, all thanks to your way of sharing your appreciation for life with us. Thank you!

      Here in the state of Georgia, we have wonderful reason changes. I think the worse is pollen season in spring. Everything is blooming so beautifully with a light green film on our cars.

    I love the way you enjoy nature! But what is so awesome is, You! You know how to make sure you are knowledgeable about what it takes to get what you want. You know how to fix things to make sure you and Chris are comfortable! I just love that!
    I know I will never be able to enjoy life and God's creation, the way you do, due to be disabled, so I will do it through you!🙂 I am grateful that God loves me and I am still here!🙏
    Safe Travels! And God's speed! May you and your partner stay covered under God's love!🙏 YOU ARE AWESOME!💖

      It might have an auto shut off? I used the larger lil buddy model in my van and it has an automatic shut off if the oxygen levels get too low - it wouldn’t even turn on at high altitudes.

    Seeing your candles made me think of this. Have you tried the candles and inverted clay flower pots as a heat source? If you couldn't wood stove it, and didn't have propane, that might work for heating the size of your van.

    If U Install, The Stove Pipes Upside Down = Liquid Cresote Runs Down Into The Inside Of The Pipe Instead Of Over It = Less Build Up Because It Runs Down Into the Stove & Burns Up Instead Of Drying Up In The Pipe.... U Just Need To Make A Double Male Joiner 4 The Cap 2 Fit...

    I'm surprised Akeela got up at all not being into the mornings 😂.

I have traveled as far as the United States goes but I find my favorite spots are just like yours in the high desert in the quiet mountains in the wilderness ...after going through a rough 3 years I look forward to hopefully being able to get something a little bigger for me and Simba my dog to travel in because a Subaru Outback is pretty tiny. Anyhow I just want to tell you that I admire you I admire your free spirit your loving heart❤ thank you for making videos and letting us have a glimpse into your world I hope this isn't bringing up sore topic I want to give my condolences for your loss of your father my dad and I made jerky today and I just am so grateful that I have a dad and you came to mind today when I was able to learn how to smoke jerky with my dad and just visit with him❤ I love the videos you make your mom and the way she laughs and the way you look at her with such love and admiration I have a lot of things I'd like to say but I just want to say thank you❤ thank you for inspiration thank you for showing me to be grateful and how to count my blessings even when things seem uncertain❤❤ stay safe❤❤

    If you have a cold spot in the van, aim a mini usb fan from behind or off to the side of the stove towards that area. Will also help cool down the hotspot a bit right behind the stove. :)

    I’m so amazed at how well you make your tiny space work so well. And back to the wonderful woods the again! I’m especially curious about the space that Akela and Kobuck use to jump up on the bed. The van always looks so big but I know its tight…I would love the actual dimensions starting with the width going into the sliding door, the length to the cabinet(how much room d they have to land) and then the ‘alley’ to the bed. It looks like your little writing nook doubles as the step.

    - when Chris said he like it thick (Madagascar vibes lol)
    - when you said you'd hike to that water which is AGES AWAY as if it's nothing lol
    I loved the install so much, you make autumn look so cozy! We're coming into summer here in NZ but I'm almost jealous of your autumn already lol
