Same. I always felt close to her but I feel like I’m understanding her much more now and I think she just felt unloved :( not saying that people didn’t love her, she just didn’t feel it. I wonder if she was words of affirmation. She was also such a sweetheart so she was really dependent on that love expression from others even though she comes off strong she’s really so desperately wanting to feel the love I feel like. And I feel like maybe she was too “nice” to make that her number one priority. So she just suffered through things that made her unhappy. I mean she did come out and say pretty much that on the podcast- not the feeling the love thing but the putting her needs after those of others thing. Where she was kind of doing that to herself though by not advocating for herself, ale hi her she said that too that she realized that. I feel like she just felt the pain of the separation and loss of identity after the ending of that long relationship. For a woman, the ending of a 4 year relationship at the age of 27 is TOUGH because at that age in particular and for women that make figure really replaces your whole family and identity even esp when you’re a sweetheart and codependent and young and don’t fully know yourself and advise care for yourself yet. It was a perfect storm. She was so bright and shiny too that’s what makes it seem crazy that someone so smart and beautiful and knowledgeable and hungry for life and love would take their life- but that’s also what makes it make sense. That someone could be so shiny and want so much but they over prioritize the role of other people in giving them that. Just because that’s how society and life sets young women up to be- it’s an easy trap to fall into to not really be independent and self fulfilling at that age and then you throw a serious relationship into it. That’s why I think those serious relationships ppl have in their 20s often don’t work out. So many people aren’t quite ready then but they spend so many years and share such innocent young love and then the loss of that is the hardest. The whole thing is so damn sad but I have to say I wish she just hung on a little bit longer because I know one she found that final piece of true empowerment she would have been golden. This was literally going to be the hardest time. Because one you have that self love or self fulfillment part nothing is ever as hard. Man it’s so freaking sad.
She was very much into her followers. She responded to everyone. Like what you said ending a 4 year relationship was tough. I struggled for a few years after my divorce and had no one nor did I tell anyone. I just wish she could of seen all of the love we all had for her and not let the terrible people in. 😢
I don't think I ever cried at the passing of someone I never met or knew. Until Lee. The thing is we all did kind of know her after following her for over a year.

Thanx for not being another cheezy vlog couple ,you guys share good info and seem to be a cool couple (& dog).. keep up the good work and safe travels.. Thanx
Thanks Steve! We really appreciate your positive encouragement as we are new to the RUclips world and still getting comfortable talking to a camera! We plan to bring more travel content to our page in upcoming videos! Thanks for watching and joining our community :)
And on cleanliness, the body adjusts to less showers by creating less body oils in the hair and skin. When you wash a lot, you dry your hair and skin out, so the body creates more oil/lipids. When you wash less, it balances out - pretty much like everything. It's similar to a changing metabolism depending on how much you eat and how active you are. Thanks for sharing.

Hey you guys rock! What a lovely young couple you are. I'm an old boy, 55 and about to take on permanent van living. Not my first choice, but I'm determined to make the best of it, and embrace the experience. Best of luck to you both, and your four legged friend 😊
Finally, some honesty about living in a van with another person. Dirty feet, dirty laundry, no toilet/shower and where to see. A little depressing, but still exciting if that is the life you want.
@@MaxLeeandOccy Even Brad Pitt says baby wipes! Lots of baby wipes! LOL. And there is dry shampoo for long locks in between the hour long shampoo/conditioner regimen. I have very long hair and if I washed it every day, would be very damaged. I can't beleive I use to wash it daily and blow it out. Think now, it would fall out. You guys are adorable. Thanks for the honesty and for me, I would want AC & shower/toilet combo. And willing to give up alot of kitchen area space to have it.
Hey Max & Lee. Since you guys are moving around so often you can compost the same way I do in my garden. Dig a hole next to a plant of your choice and bury the compostable waste. Al you need is a dedicated bin (preferably airtight.) Happy Travels!
You inspired me to start my vanlife infuture...tq for info that that revealed to us..RIP..you kind and pasionate explaination will be remembered all forever..
I did a little trip with my friend a while back, every point you had was an issue I had while we were travelling.. only no head room, no room to walk around and was reallyyyy cramped.. I would looooove the set up you guys have ; really good work guys . Should be super proud of ya selves ❤️❤️❤️
Aw thank you!! It is so encouraging to receive positive feedback as we are still learning and figuring out videography! We actually bought our van just outside of Ottawa :)
Hi Max & Lee, I just found you , and your wonderful people who make me smile. A quick note on protecting your van when leaving for a hike, or anytime for a long period of time. You can hide and install a cut out switch under the dash, or somewhere so the van can't be started unless this switch is toggled on. I had a hot rod years ago, and put a cut off toggle for safety. It's a good thing to do for added security. Keep safe, and enjoy ...Jay
Hey, don't know if this has been suggested to you already but when we travel through Mexico to compost we just have a small bucket with a lid and when we do our poop walks into the bush we take it with us and bury it deeply in the ground so it can compost there. Happy travels.
I feel the same way when I leave my little SUV nest... my cat too. ...and at the end of the day, I can’t wait to get all snuggly in my little home on wheels. We especially love the desert 🌵
I'm definitely not in a place right now to live in this way, but watching your videos helps decreases my anxiety level a lot, especially when you dislike the job your in and struggling to just make it everyday. This seems to be a new thing for me, watching videos that have a positive vibe with good scenery to look at and with people who care about being free in this way, if I cant live it I can at least watch it. I also enjoy Almazan Kitchen an outdoor cooking channel on RUclips it has a similar calming theme. Thanks for making such wonderful videos.
Composting? When we went on picnics as a kid, Dad would bury stuff. Use a shovel. Paper, kitchen scraps etc will break down in soil. Worms will love it. That's sustainable. John in Québec
U could probably take ur food scraps & shred ur recyclable boxes & throw them around trees in a tropical or wooded area so they get fed. Throw some leaves on top to cover it. U can also throw urine around plants to fertilize them...just thought
uh....I disagree with your "throw urine around plants to fertilize them" bit. A man yell violently at me for watering a tree in front of his house in Noe Valley of San Francisco. He was a member of the Friends of the Urban Forest. Pack it in; pack it out.
A great view of the ups and downs of living compact. Great job. As you know this will be an experience that will stay with you a lifetime. Enjoy. Great to see people actually living and not just existing in this journey we call life.
I put composting into a coffee can with a lid. Every 2 or 3 days I bury it into the ground or when you need to. It's great for that land. Does not hurt a thing.
Thanks for sharing, I love the vibe of your videos. As a full time vanlifer, I practice guerilla composting whenever I am in nature. I have a tupperware type of container to put my compost in, so it will be airtight and no smells come out. Then whenever I am out in nature, I will put it under a bush for the animals to feed on or for it to compost. In the beginning, I thought I had to plan ahead but by now, I just empty the container regularly and throw everything into the trash if I haven't found a spot where I could put it in nature. Having that seperate container also keeps my main garbage fresh much longer. Looking forward to your video about travelling with a dog. I am a dog lover, but since I travel on my own, I find it too inconvenient and would never want to leave the dog in the van for hours. So I enjoy visiting friends with dogs along the way instead.
Thank you for sharing your experience with composting on the road! We find it especially helpful learning from people like you who are living the same lifestyle :) Aw that is understandable about not wanting a dog with you at the moment. We do find it easier being 2 of us - if one os us did want to stay behind with Occy, the other can go on to do whatever they wish! Thank you for joining our community on here :)!
You guys are my favorite van life couple. You guys are a beautiful couple, but I love that you're honest about the ups and downs of van life, but you make it still feel so rewarding and worth it. Plus, Occy seems to make a great travel buddy too. ❤
Living a van life is an upgrade for me since I have no issues stated here. I was homeless, lived and slept in a car, worked 2 jobs. Just getting ideas since I've been there and done that (twice...been homeless twice). Thanks for the vid =).
If you're in the US, Planet Fitness is an awesome alternative to not having a bathroom or shower. For 20 bucks a month you can use the more than 4000 facilities across the states. I travel in a van from January to May every year & PF has been a great place to unwind, workout & clean up.
When camping we use a Folgers coffee can to store compost items. It woks perfects. You can seal up the smell with the lid and wash it out when u dump it(forest,farmers fields, etc). Happy travels😉
If you guys dig a hole when you're taking a poop, why not just dig a hole in the ground for your compost? If your compost is mainly food waste it's bio degradable and less harmful than any human waste that you leave when you go to the toilet! :) Great video!
Human waste fertilizes the dirt and any plants near. All forms of manuer help fertilize. Why do you think people use steer manuer in their gardens? Not harmful, beneficial.
I owned 1991 Chevy convertion van with a back seat/bed and I started from there. I was able to build a "2 1\2 x 2 1\2" wet bathroom, among the rest of the facilities, with a single holding tank. Bath is a must for us!
Aw thank you! We are just as shocked and both truly humbled. Our channel would never have started the way it did if it weren't for the Minimal Millennials and Bec & Eamon helping us out! It has been a fun experience so far and we are both excited to learn and improve as we go!
You took the words right out of my mouth, they are so damn likable! And some great honest points, some here that I find as well when caravanning yet no one ever seems to mention!
You could fill the spot where you used to have the toilet with a worm box! They help breakdown compost and turn it into soil! Don't have one myself but someone I know who does says it smells like fresh grass clippings!
Thats is probably the most secure spot to put a compost box as incase it for some reason ever leaked it would not spill onto other shelves! Fresh grass clippings sounds appealing and much better than rotten veggies!! Thanks for the tip! :)
Great video, thank you for sharing! You guys should look into going zero waste, it would definitely make your van life experience much more enjoyable. Plus, our planet desperately needs us to make the effort as our future all depend on it. My husband and I are about to leave on a two year trip from Ottawa, Canada to Panama, in our Chevy G20 with our two small chihuahuas. I am looking forward to the next video addressing travelling with a pup. Sending you guys good vibes x
Zero waste would be an amazing milestone to reach! We hope to start working towards it! Aw we wish you the best travels and we hope our paths cross on the road! :)
Im regards to the composting issue. If youre outside in the countryside I dont really see the issue. It occupies the same category in a way that your 'toilet' does. It will break down in the woods and nourish local flora. I can however understand why it would be an issue in a city.
Yes James we agree! We will be sorting out an air tight bin that can hold our compostable items when we are not in optimal locations to bury our compost - and otherwise will start digging ! Its time for us to take action!
at home our council has provided composting facilities. They provided all the houses with a gallon lidded bucket which has some sort of membrane in the top. We put a compostable bag inside and it sits in a cupboard under the sink. Never smells - really good system. I wonder if you can adapt this to your lifestyle by just burying the contents in the woods when it's full? Happy camping!
Interesting points on cities. Cities and the people in them are generally garbage. Once you’ve been out of a big city for a few years, you realize how much anxiety urban sprawl and overly artificial, non pedestrian friendly cities are. I imagine this is a much bigger issue in North America than parts of Europe or South America for example, where cities were built around people and markets, not cars and corporations. Beyond enjoying your personalities, I found this video very honest and informative, thanks so much.
'People in cities are generally garbage'? You will find good and bad everywhere, from cities to rural areas. You can't lump together an entire city population and say they are all 'garbage'. You're being quite unfair.
I totally agree that cities are too traumatic. There exist little moral support as everything is synthetic and driven by capitalising on *another's loss/unfortunately circumstances!* City life is hell... *"Sodom & Gamorrah!"* Possibly any location in which there is an over flux of life size organisms. Societies produce so many petty nuances and time wasting experiences. I suggest for those attempting the transition, gradually attempt road life/off grid... while still living in a cheap rented accommodation as a back up. One could also keep the cheap rented accommodation or just rent a garage and convert it to leaving space!
I have a desk that is really just a piece of plywood, with some chain, that stays out of the way by just folding up in the wall, and it is a really great addition to any van, especially for me because I love tinkering with things.
So much good information! I’d really like to get a van of my own in a couple years so I’m stocking up on all the good van-lifer wisdom :) Might be too personal here, but could/would y’all do a video just about you? Basically discussing your backstories, families, where you grew up, school/degrees, how you met, how you got interested in travel and van life, future plans, etc.? It just makes watching informational videos a tad more enjoyable if you know more about the people, ya know? I’m sure I’ll like your videos regardless but I thought I’d ask!
Hey Sarah, thank you for your feedback and ideas! We do hope our information will be handy for you when time comes to start your own van adventure! Sharing our backstory is a great idea! I guess Max and I always thought that no one would care, but its proving to be otherwise as we have a fair amount of people subscribing to our channel and I think you are right! We will work on that video idea and would be happy to share more about us :) Thank you for being part of our community!!
Great candid info! For composting, there are tiny compost boxes that you can even secure to the outside of the van, you should look into that, and yes, just ask around for community gardens that might appreciate the extra compost materials donated!
Recycling / compost: I guess, your roof? Roof bars and some kind of aero case for recycling stuff? As for natural material - simply collect it in something and then dump it in vegetation. It's going to biodegrade anyway, so what's the issue?
Couple years ago I did some experimenting I got me a tote put some soil in it and some nightcrawlers and through all my compost in it fruits vegetables stuff like that work pretty well till all the nightcrawlers died I still don't know what I did wrong.
Nomadic Pioneer The worms go on top of the compost in a little soil. They eat their way down thru the composting. Also check that it's not getting to hot and dampen occasionally. A small tub would be better so new compost could be put to one side until you transfer your night crawlers over on top of it.
...amazing how a space can be chill/cozy/not limiting if you think to upgrade the small stuff to not feel you’ve “compromised”...then downtime=good vibes...👍🏼for organized content-tysm:)
I like to know where all these vandwellers get all their money to live on the road I could use $30 a day in my van easily on fuel I am retired and I'm still having a hard time getting the funds to build my van
@Fairfields you are right I agree. Plus there's not many places you Can stay more than one night. I often think I made a mistake doing a van build. I've always loved boats maybe I should have look in to that. I know one thing if I was out on a mooring I would get a knock in the middle of the night telling me to move he he. Right now I don't know which way to go.
Composting. In remote areas if you are going into nature to dig a hole for a toilet why not do similar with organics? I was told any organics going into a composting bin decompose quicker if cut up - increased surface area for the microbes. So dice up your organics, walk to an appropriate place, dig a hole 8-10 inches deep and leave a day accumulation of organic matter. While not true composting because it lacks oxygen, the bacteria in the earth will break down the organic matter into usable nutrients.
Thank you for your advice on the matter :) It is true and reading everyones ideas has pushed us to stop simply wanting to compost and finally making it happen! Soon enough it will feel like a normal part of our daily routine! Thanks again :)
I advise getting an awning for the bad weather days. Makes it a little more like having a porch. Plus you can open your door and get fresh air at least.
Many thiefs do target trailheads because they know you will be away from your vehicle for awhile and that you might have left your wallet or valuable equipment. My car was broken into at a trailhead and they stole everything I had stowed away in my glove box and trunk. I understand the worry!!
Me and my wife love it too it's a type of Freedom that you can't explain I'm glad to see that there is other couples that enjoy it also and like you have mentioned we enjoy the clothes time together
Well the sick part really made me rethink this layout. I think the bed in the back actually is way better and that reason helps me now that I think of that scenario
Essentially Crystal that’s seems quite common for ppl in cities and I’d definitely do that too I think. Travelling through other countries is a whole other story though and then you have “make adjustments”. I’m not so sure about using a spade in a jungle, I’d be a bit worried about bitey or stingee things lol but watching this vid of Max, Lee and Occy playing in waterfalls and rivers....why would you even need a shower? Especially if you use the good bio option of liquid Castile soap.
i find this lifestyle so interesting and appealing. to experience life from this angle seems so real, and way more free and diverse than the 'regular' mon-fri 9-5 office-life. thank you for sharing!
Hey!!! If you compost in your van (I’ve never done it but I think this might be a good idea) you can save your compost in your fridge, a small box, and you can donate it to farmers. There probably isn’t an official service to do this, but I’ve brought my compost to just random vendors and farmers markets and most were happy to take it
I surprised you can keep your long hair and beard clean. To me it’s would be a hassle to wash it every day, and keep it tangle free. But that Mexico you need to blend in and show a bit mucho to get respect out in the sticks.
Hi Max & Lee! Congrats on successful van living, overcoming the downsides. Regarding composting, when we travelled on a boat for 4 months we saved up our produce scraps and buried them ashore whenever we had an opportunity. Another idea: if you don't want a composting toilet in your van to use (they come with crank that mixes peatmoss with feces--could add produce waste additionally or instead) u could consider making room for sawdust or peatmoss to layer with your produce scraps--would keep odor down. Recycling depends on what towns offer. We saved that up too until we came to a dock. Nowadays, recycling has been shot down quite a bit in the US.
Thomas Norman .yes absolutely, have done almost all of North America and met people who did an awful lot more than that in vw. Eurovan. Cheaper than staying home but didn’t have a means of producing income at same time.
It is just a fake potted plant from ikea that we drilled onto the cabinet! I enjoy the feel of having plants in the van without any maintenance or mess :)
I would say keep food waste in a container with a lid in the freezer but I'm guessing even doing that and putting it in the fridge would be hard and to dispose of it I would think about asking in coffees shops ect if you could add your waste to there recycling but that could take some explaining lol also have you ever thought about contacts the local government or council office if they have drop off points, we have in the uk. Don't feel to bad when you can't recycle because the way you live has far less impact on the environment then living in a 2000sq home already, I like your channel 😀😘
Thank you for some helpful ideas Claire!! We agree that we produce less waste however now that we are comfortable living small we want to try our best to be as environmentally friendly as possible! :)
Even the poorest van lifer is much more environmentally friendly than city dwellers. Much less wast and more evenly distributed. Your waste doesn’t magically vanish when you flush and put waste in garbage container.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making this and for taking off the vail to be honest with people!! This was so helpful and we need more videos like this! Thank you guys praying for you and wishing you the very very best - Travel safe ♥️
Menstral cups are to die for! One they are economical, two no need for garbage, and as long as your hands are washed prior to emptying it and reinserting it’s perfectly hygienic and lasts up to 12 hours!
In the us idaho has compost bins that people put on the sides of the road. Its really great to keep your veg out of the trash. I think other states have done this aswell. If your ever by here you can always look!
I'm sorry, I couldn't make out the name of the app you mentioned for finding camping spots - could you mention it here or put it in your description? Thanks! :)
‘Tasty’ by Buzzfeed has a video titled ‘How to Compost in Small Space’ and it walks you through pretty much all the steps. Worms can help decompose everything quicker too. Good luck! 😊
I highly recommend the Cup! 12 hours of being free from all the other stuff you deal with using a pad. Look into it and give it a try. It has changed my life dealing with my cycle.
No idea if van life people use traditional birth control 😝 but obviously these days so many traditional methods stop your monthly cycle or limit it to just a handful in a years time soooooo yeah LoL just saying
For composting, if you don't mind primarily using the side barn-doors to get in and out of the sprinter, you can put a hitch + hitch mounted cargo carrier (A basket with high-sides and a fold down rear cage/gate) and use a recycled 55gal plastic food-service barrel for 10 or 15 USD with locking collar/sealed lid for compost, and put a medium sized sealed bin next to it for your compressed recyclables that you can deposit when you are making your way through metropolitan areas with public recycling bins.
Haha we totally agree! Thank you guys!! We wouldn't be anywhere without the help of the Minimal Millennials and Bec & Eamon. We are happy to be sharing on RUclips and excited to keep learning and growing on here :)! Hopefully we can cross paths on the road one day!
Hey y'all! I live in Mexico and when I moved here everyone told me there is no recycling down here...just put it in the trash. I just couldn't! So I searched around and in San Miguel de Allende there are big recycling centers. So I got our land lord to let us start a recycling effort here. We just drive it out to the center once a week. I know it would be hard for y'all - but big cities can have big recycling centers. Thanks - you are awesome and I am jealous
I'm from Germany, live in a small apartment and use a Bokashi bucket for composting my household garbage. Might be the right thing for you too. Enjoy your travelling and give Occy a hug from me. ♥

Hey you guys rock! What a lovely young couple you are. I'm an old boy, 55 and about to take on permanent van living. Not my first choice, but I'm determined to make the best of it, and embrace the experience. Best of luck to you both, and your four legged friend 😊
Finally, some honesty about living in a van with another person. Dirty feet, dirty laundry, no toilet/shower and where to see. A little depressing, but still exciting if that is the life you want.
Thanks Jessica. But remember, definitely a small price to pay for what you gain!
I think they are very sweet and very realistic.
@@MaxLeeandOccy Even Brad Pitt says baby wipes! Lots of baby wipes! LOL. And there is dry shampoo for long locks in between the hour long shampoo/conditioner regimen. I have very long hair and if I washed it every day, would be very damaged. I can't beleive I use to wash it daily and blow it out. Think now, it would fall out. You guys are adorable. Thanks for the honesty and for me, I would want AC & shower/toilet combo. And willing to give up alot of kitchen area space to have it.
Hey Max & Lee. Since you guys are moving around so often you can compost the same way I do in my garden. Dig a hole next to a plant of your choice and bury the compostable waste. Al you need is a dedicated bin (preferably airtight.) Happy Travels!
I've watch many downsides of van life, so far you guys experience and input is more informative... I give this video 2 thumbs up!
Aw cheers Jun! We appreciate your positive feedback and plan to keep sharing as much information as we can :)
You inspired me to start my vanlife infuture...tq for info that that revealed to us..RIP..you kind and pasionate explaination will be remembered all forever..
I think it's somewhat a relief to me that none of these were unexpected or really a very big deal.
Both of them are super understanding to each other..
You are beautiful people inside and out a house is not a home without a dog glad for you enjoying your lives your way.
When leaving for a few hours take the starter fuse out or installe a kill switch in a place that is very hard to find!!!
Your dog looks so happy 🐶
Thank you Chrissy, he definitely is living a great life!
In Brasil
I did a little trip with my friend a while back, every point you had was an issue I had while we were travelling.. only no head room, no room to walk around and was reallyyyy cramped.. I would looooove the set up you guys have ; really good work guys . Should be super proud of ya selves ❤️❤️❤️
You two are so sweet and are living the dream life...... I LOVE your videos. Best wishes from Ottawa, Canada
Aw thank you!! It is so encouraging to receive positive feedback as we are still learning and figuring out videography! We actually bought our van just outside of Ottawa :)
ditto, including the part of being from ottawa!
Hi Max & Lee, I just found you , and your wonderful people who make me smile. A quick note on protecting your van when leaving for a hike, or anytime for a long period of time. You can hide and install a cut out switch under the dash, or somewhere so the van can't be started unless this switch is toggled on. I had a hot rod years ago, and put a cut off toggle for safety. It's a good thing to do for added security. Keep safe, and enjoy ...Jay
Hey, don't know if this has been suggested to you already but when we travel through Mexico to compost we just have a small bucket with a lid and when we do our poop walks into the bush we take it with us and bury it deeply in the ground so it can compost there. Happy travels.
They showed us their shovel in another video. They did that.
I can see Lee was so passionatr about rubbish and desposing of it properly, good on her!
I feel the same way when I leave my little SUV nest... my cat too. ...and at the end of the day, I can’t wait to get all snuggly in my little home on wheels. We especially love the desert 🌵
I have been living in my Chevy g-30 for three years now ... I love it and my van. Thank you for your videos .
You guys are just a wealth of helpful information. Love you guys so much ✌✌ safe travels... Lee your absolutely Beautiful....... Max you lucky....
Stoked you find it useful William! Thank for the kind words.
And yes... I know how lucky I am ; ) cheers, Max
Max & Lee cheers brother ✌✌✌
What was the app you use for finding places to park please? X

I'm definitely not in a place right now to live in this way, but watching your videos helps decreases my anxiety level a lot, especially when you dislike the job your in and struggling to just make it everyday. This seems to be a new thing for me, watching videos that have a positive vibe with good scenery to look at and with people who care about being free in this way, if I cant live it I can at least watch it. I also enjoy Almazan Kitchen an outdoor cooking channel on RUclips it has a similar calming theme.
Thanks for making such wonderful videos.
Composting? When we went on picnics as a kid, Dad would bury stuff. Use a shovel. Paper, kitchen scraps etc will break down in soil. Worms will love it.
That's sustainable.
John in Québec
Realistically put across, a little gem of infinite insights to van-life .... very honest..guys.
Thanks for this video. I love your honesty, and you both are very genuine and easy to listen to.
I like how they love and respect each other. #respect
U could probably take ur food scraps & shred ur recyclable boxes & throw them around trees in a tropical or wooded area so they get fed. Throw some leaves on top to cover it. U can also throw urine around plants to fertilize them...just thought
uh....I disagree with your "throw urine around plants to fertilize them" bit. A man yell violently at me for watering a tree in front of his house in Noe Valley of San Francisco. He was a member of the Friends of the Urban Forest. Pack it in; pack it out.
A great view of the ups and downs of living compact. Great job. As you know this will be an experience that will stay with you a lifetime. Enjoy. Great to see people actually living and not just existing in this journey we call life.
Awesome guys... thanks me and my family of 7 will be moving full time into an rv in june❤️😊
Unreal! I can't even comprehend so many people in a van! Or is it a bus? Hopefully run in to you all on the road some day : )
Love the way Lee looks at max
isn't it amazing how that works? girls pay very close attention to this. it's how they let the other girls know what the scoop is.
I put composting into a coffee can with a lid. Every 2 or 3 days I bury it into the ground or when you need to. It's great for that land. Does not hurt a thing.
Awesome thank you Michelle!
Most honest video I've seen so far about the truth of living in a vehicle! Thanks for being frank and posting this
Thanks for sharing, I love the vibe of your videos.
As a full time vanlifer, I practice guerilla composting whenever I am in nature.
I have a tupperware type of container to put my compost in, so it will be airtight and no smells come out. Then whenever I am out in nature, I will put it under a bush for the animals to feed on or for it to compost.
In the beginning, I thought I had to plan ahead but by now, I just empty the container regularly and throw everything into the trash if I haven't found a spot where I could put it in nature. Having that seperate container also keeps my main garbage fresh much longer.
Looking forward to your video about travelling with a dog. I am a dog lover, but since I travel on my own, I find it too inconvenient and would never want to leave the dog in the van for hours. So I enjoy visiting friends with dogs along the way instead.
Thank you for sharing your experience with composting on the road! We find it especially helpful learning from people like you who are living the same lifestyle :) Aw that is understandable about not wanting a dog with you at the moment. We do find it easier being 2 of us - if one os us did want to stay behind with Occy, the other can go on to do whatever they wish! Thank you for joining our community on here :)!
You guys are my favorite van life couple. You guys are a beautiful couple, but I love that you're honest about the ups and downs of van life, but you make it still feel so rewarding and worth it. Plus, Occy seems to make a great travel buddy too. ❤
Great tips and reality reminders of van life which makes one appreciate life on many new levels 👍🏼🗝🔓🙏🏽🌍🎨
Living a van life is an upgrade for me since I have no issues stated here. I was homeless, lived and slept in a car, worked 2 jobs. Just getting ideas since I've been there and done that (twice...been homeless twice).
Thanks for the vid =).
If you're in the US, Planet Fitness is an awesome alternative to not having a bathroom or shower. For 20 bucks a month you can use the more than 4000 facilities across the states. I travel in a van from January to May every year & PF has been a great place to unwind, workout & clean up.
Great idea.
When camping we use a Folgers coffee can to store compost items. It woks perfects. You can seal up the smell with the lid and wash it out when u dump it(forest,farmers fields, etc). Happy travels😉
If you guys dig a hole when you're taking a poop, why not just dig a hole in the ground for your compost? If your compost is mainly food waste it's bio degradable and less harmful than any human waste that you leave when you go to the toilet! :) Great video!
Human waste fertilizes the dirt and any plants near. All forms of manuer help fertilize. Why do you think people use steer manuer in their gardens? Not harmful, beneficial.
Beneficial except for the occasional E.coli...
@@JStrange13 Do plants get E.coli?
I owned 1991 Chevy convertion van with a back seat/bed and I started from there.
I was able to build a "2 1\2 x 2 1\2" wet bathroom, among the rest of the facilities, with a single holding tank.
Bath is a must for us!
Wow! 8,500+ subs after only 4 vids and in less than 30 days. Kudos to you! 👏
Aw thank you! We are just as shocked and both truly humbled. Our channel would never have started the way it did if it weren't for the Minimal Millennials and Bec & Eamon helping us out! It has been a fun experience so far and we are both excited to learn and improve as we go!
It's nice to see someone getting away from drone shots and funky music to get real about the crappier parts of living out of a van.
Great vid..you guys are so likable! Loved the end it was beautiful!✌️❤️
Thank you Trina :) We do plan to share more footage of our travels in upcoming videos!!
You took the words right out of my mouth, they are so damn likable! And some great honest points, some here that I find as well when caravanning yet no one ever seems to mention!
Love that natural sound of the birds
Loving the channel! You have sort of a different fresh spin on sharing vanlife.
Aw thank you Melony! If there is anything in particular you'd like to see let us know :)
Lovely couple acting naturally and so sweet and friendly.. a lot of practical tips and useful info. Wish you well..
You could fill the spot where you used to have the toilet with a worm box! They help breakdown compost and turn it into soil! Don't have one myself but someone I know who does says it smells like fresh grass clippings!
Thats is probably the most secure spot to put a compost box as incase it for some reason ever leaked it would not spill onto other shelves! Fresh grass clippings sounds appealing and much better than rotten veggies!! Thanks for the tip! :)
Just discovered your channel. Such raw, enjoyable material. Loved the video!
Great video, thank you for sharing! You guys should look into going zero waste, it would definitely make your van life experience much more enjoyable. Plus, our planet desperately needs us to make the effort as our future all depend on it. My husband and I are about to leave on a two year trip from Ottawa, Canada to Panama, in our Chevy G20 with our two small chihuahuas. I am looking forward to the next video addressing travelling with a pup. Sending you guys good vibes x
Zero waste would be an amazing milestone to reach! We hope to start working towards it! Aw we wish you the best travels and we hope our paths cross on the road! :)
Silver Talbot
Zero waste when you’re travelling in a petrol heavy Chevy for 2 years? 😂 Yanks are so thick 😂😂
I love how honest y’all are! It’s a great perspective to add to the community! ❤️✌🏽
Thank you! We appreciate your feedback and plan to remain open and honest while sharing our travels :)
Im regards to the composting issue. If youre outside in the countryside I dont really see the issue. It occupies the same category in a way that your 'toilet' does. It will break down in the woods and nourish local flora. I can however understand why it would be an issue in a city.
Yes James we agree! We will be sorting out an air tight bin that can hold our compostable items when we are not in optimal locations to bury our compost - and otherwise will start digging ! Its time for us to take action!
at home our council has provided composting facilities. They provided all the houses with a gallon lidded bucket which has some sort of membrane in the top. We put a compostable bag inside and it sits in a cupboard under the sink. Never smells - really good system. I wonder if you can adapt this to your lifestyle by just burying the contents in the woods when it's full? Happy camping!
Great video. You can build a shelf onto the back of your van and have a compost bucket with lid and Secure it to the shelf with bungee cord.
Interesting points on cities. Cities and the people in them are generally garbage. Once you’ve been out of a big city for a few years, you realize how much anxiety urban sprawl and overly artificial, non pedestrian friendly cities are. I imagine this is a much bigger issue in North America than parts of Europe or South America for example, where cities were built around people and markets, not cars and corporations.
Beyond enjoying your personalities, I found this video very honest and informative, thanks so much.
'People in cities are generally garbage'? You will find good and bad everywhere, from cities to rural areas. You can't lump together an entire city population and say they are all 'garbage'. You're being quite unfair.
I totally agree that cities are too traumatic.
There exist little moral support as everything is synthetic and driven by capitalising on *another's loss/unfortunately circumstances!*
City life is hell... *"Sodom & Gamorrah!"*
Possibly any location in which there is an over flux of life size organisms.
Societies produce so many petty
nuances and time wasting experiences.
I suggest for those attempting the transition, gradually attempt road life/off grid... while still living in a cheap rented accommodation as a back up.
One could also keep the cheap rented accommodation or just rent a garage and convert it to leaving space!
I have a desk that is really just a piece of plywood, with some chain, that stays out of the way by just folding up in the wall, and it is a really great addition to any van, especially for me because I love tinkering with things.
So much good information! I’d really like to get a van of my own in a couple years so I’m stocking up on all the good van-lifer wisdom :)
Might be too personal here, but could/would y’all do a video just about you? Basically discussing your backstories, families, where you grew up, school/degrees, how you met, how you got interested in travel and van life, future plans, etc.? It just makes watching informational videos a tad more enjoyable if you know more about the people, ya know? I’m sure I’ll like your videos regardless but I thought I’d ask!
Hey Sarah, thank you for your feedback and ideas! We do hope our information will be handy for you when time comes to start your own van adventure! Sharing our backstory is a great idea! I guess Max and I always thought that no one would care, but its proving to be otherwise as we have a fair amount of people subscribing to our channel and I think you are right! We will work on that video idea and would be happy to share more about us :) Thank you for being part of our community!!
Great candid info! For composting, there are tiny compost boxes that you can even secure to the outside of the van, you should look into that, and yes, just ask around for community gardens that might appreciate the extra compost materials donated!
i have that shovel too, its been the shit so to speak, cheers guys
Definitely a key for any van lifer Dave. Glad you enjoyed it ; )
Dave2D Vlogs dig that shit,got it!!!!!
@dave2dvlogs David is our leader! Na nar nar nar!
Dave2D Vlogs - vegans dont sh1t yo.
Dave2D Vlogs 😁😁😁
it's a good thing that it was salt that spilled and not sugar. bugs and such are not attracted to salt, so that's a blessing !!!
you can easily make a dry composting toilet.
But isn't bad to urinate into a dry composting toilet?
I love these videos, it gives me a real image about vanlife and helps me to make informed decisions about doing vanlife myself :) So thank you!
Recycling / compost: I guess, your roof? Roof bars and some kind of aero case for recycling stuff? As for natural material - simply collect it in something and then dump it in vegetation. It's going to biodegrade anyway, so what's the issue?
LivingThroughTV yeah was thinking the same idea. Compost on the roof then when you need to go to the toilet in the woods just empty it out then 👍🏻
Dig a hole in a park for compost
Couple years ago I did some experimenting I got me a tote put some soil in it and some nightcrawlers and through all my compost in it fruits vegetables stuff like that work pretty well till all the nightcrawlers died I still don't know what I did wrong.
Or could you put it under the bonnet? Might get warm but that should help the decomposing :)
Nomadic Pioneer The worms go on top of the compost in a little soil. They eat their way down thru the composting. Also check that it's not getting to hot and dampen occasionally. A small tub would be better so new compost could be put to one side until you transfer your night crawlers over on top of it.
...amazing how a space can be chill/cozy/not limiting if you think to upgrade the small stuff to not feel you’ve “compromised”...then downtime=good vibes...👍🏼for organized content-tysm:)
Thank you so much for watching this weeks video :)!
I like to know where all these vandwellers get all their money to live on the road I could use $30 a day in my van easily on fuel I am retired and I'm still having a hard time getting the funds to build my van
I think they spend significant time in each spot. Not driving it everyday.
@Fairfields you are right I agree. Plus there's not many places you Can stay more than one night. I often think I made a mistake doing a van build. I've always loved boats maybe I should have look in to that. I know one thing if I was out on a mooring I would get a knock in the middle of the night telling me to move he he. Right now I don't know which way to go.
@@vanpiper continue with the van, you don't want to be eaten by sharks or alligators plus you have to worry about tsunamis
I love that at the end of the day you care about recycling and compost options! amazing!1
Composting. In remote areas if you are going into nature to dig a hole for a toilet why not do similar with organics? I was told any organics going into a composting bin decompose quicker if cut up - increased surface area for the microbes. So dice up your organics, walk to an appropriate place, dig a hole 8-10 inches deep and leave a day accumulation of organic matter. While not true composting because it lacks oxygen, the bacteria in the earth will break down the organic matter into usable nutrients.
Thank you for your advice on the matter :) It is true and reading everyones ideas has pushed us to stop simply wanting to compost and finally making it happen! Soon enough it will feel like a normal part of our daily routine! Thanks again :)
I advise getting an awning for the bad weather days. Makes it a little more like having a porch. Plus you can open your door and get fresh air at least.
Many thiefs do target trailheads because they know you will be away from your vehicle for awhile and that you might have left your wallet or valuable equipment. My car was broken into at a trailhead and they stole everything I had stowed away in my glove box and trunk. I understand the worry!!
Me and my wife love it too it's a type of Freedom that you can't explain I'm glad to see that there is other couples that enjoy it also and like you have mentioned we enjoy the clothes time together
Really enjoy this kind of videos! :D
TiaraASMR thank you!
Well the sick part really made me rethink this layout. I think the bed in the back actually is way better and that reason helps me now that I think of that scenario
I know a lot of people have a membership at a gym and use their shower.
Yeah that is a great idea! If we travel in the US or Canada again we would get a membership!
Essentially Crystal that’s seems quite common for ppl in cities and I’d definitely do that too I think. Travelling through other countries is a whole other story though and then you have “make adjustments”. I’m not so sure about using a spade in a jungle, I’d be a bit worried about bitey or stingee things lol but watching this vid of Max, Lee and Occy playing in waterfalls and rivers....why would you even need a shower? Especially if you use the good bio option of liquid Castile soap.
Planet fitness is in most major city and only 10$ a month workout everyday and shower
$10/mo.? That's a good deal.
RedRider1600 in Australia our gyms are around $40-$50/month 😖
i find this lifestyle so interesting and appealing. to experience life from this angle seems so real, and way more free and diverse than the 'regular' mon-fri 9-5 office-life.
thank you for sharing!
I've only begun, and already had a terrible beans spill as I was just getting to bed. Ugh!
Hey!!! If you compost in your van (I’ve never done it but I think this might be a good idea) you can save your compost in your fridge, a small box, and you can donate it to farmers. There probably isn’t an official service to do this, but I’ve brought my compost to just random vendors and farmers markets and most were happy to take it
I surprised you can keep your long hair and beard clean. To me it’s would be a hassle to wash it every day, and keep it tangle free. But that Mexico you need to blend in and show a bit mucho to get respect out in the sticks.
Hi Max & Lee! Congrats on successful van living, overcoming the downsides. Regarding composting, when we travelled on a boat for 4 months we saved up our produce scraps and buried them ashore whenever we had an opportunity. Another idea: if you don't want a composting toilet in your van to use (they come with crank that mixes peatmoss with feces--could add produce waste additionally or instead) u could consider making room for sawdust or peatmoss to layer with your produce scraps--would keep odor down. Recycling depends on what towns offer. We saved that up too until we came to a dock. Nowadays, recycling has been shot down quite a bit in the US.
Where people driving around in their Vans like this before the internet
Thomas Norman .yes absolutely, have done almost all of North America and met people who did an awful lot more than that in vw. Eurovan. Cheaper than staying home but didn’t have a means of producing income at same time.
Ray Fletcher Scooby and Shaggy have been at it a mighty long time now.
for recycling, some folks have a purpose made bag called a trasharoo which mounts outside the vehicle, sometimes on a rear tire mount.
What type of plant is hanging in the corner so pretty?
It is just a fake potted plant from ikea that we drilled onto the cabinet! I enjoy the feel of having plants in the van without any maintenance or mess :)
To help w the bag situation get fabric grocery bags. They'll help reduce plastic bag waste and are easy to store. Thanks for the tips
I would say keep food waste in a container with a lid in the freezer but I'm guessing even doing that and putting it in the fridge would be hard and to dispose of it I would think about asking in coffees shops ect if you could add your waste to there recycling but that could take some explaining lol also have you ever thought about contacts the local government or council office if they have drop off points, we have in the uk. Don't feel to bad when you can't recycle because the way you live has far less impact on the environment then living in a 2000sq home already, I like your channel 😀😘
Thank you for some helpful ideas Claire!! We agree that we produce less waste however now that we are comfortable living small we want to try our best to be as environmentally friendly as possible! :)
Even the poorest van lifer is much more environmentally friendly than city dwellers. Much less wast and more evenly distributed. Your waste doesn’t magically vanish when you flush and put waste in garbage container.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making this and for taking off the vail to be honest with people!! This was so helpful and we need more videos like this! Thank you guys praying for you and wishing you the very very best - Travel safe ♥️
from a woman to woman, how do u deal w your period??
SierraCelesteH wondering this too!
Menstral cups are to die for! One they are economical, two no need for garbage, and as long as your hands are washed prior to emptying it and reinserting it’s perfectly hygienic and lasts up to 12 hours!
In the us idaho has compost bins that people put on the sides of the road. Its really great to keep your veg out of the trash. I think other states have done this aswell. If your ever by here you can always look!
I'm sorry, I couldn't make out the name of the app you mentioned for finding camping spots - could you mention it here or put it in your description? Thanks! :)
Hey! It is called "i overlander" it is a white symbol with an orange background :)
Thanks!
jorasparents I also use and app called park4night
Thanks!
‘Tasty’ by Buzzfeed has a video titled ‘How to Compost in Small Space’ and it walks you through pretty much all the steps. Worms can help decompose everything quicker too. Good luck! 😊
I know this is kinda personal but how do you deal with cleanliness when you are on your period?
Dani Alexandria
Good question 🤔
I highly recommend the Cup! 12 hours of being free from all the other stuff you deal with using a pad. Look into it and give it a try. It has changed my life dealing with my cycle.
No idea if van life people use traditional birth control 😝 but obviously these days so many traditional methods stop your monthly cycle or limit it to just a handful in a years time soooooo yeah LoL just saying
For composting, if you don't mind primarily using the side barn-doors to get in and out of the sprinter, you can put a hitch + hitch mounted cargo carrier (A basket with high-sides and a fold down rear cage/gate) and use a recycled 55gal plastic food-service barrel for 10 or 15 USD with locking collar/sealed lid for compost, and put a medium sized sealed bin next to it for your compressed recyclables that you can deposit when you are making your way through metropolitan areas with public recycling bins.
Hey, you guys are smashing RUclips👏👏congrats both... VanLife wouldn’t be the same without a shit shovel and some dirty feet! 😉🤣
Haha we totally agree! Thank you guys!! We wouldn't be anywhere without the help of the Minimal Millennials and Bec & Eamon. We are happy to be sharing on RUclips and excited to keep learning and growing on here :)! Hopefully we can cross paths on the road one day!
Hey y'all! I live in Mexico and when I moved here everyone told me there is no recycling down here...just put it in the trash. I just couldn't! So I searched around and in San Miguel de Allende there are big recycling centers. So I got our land lord to let us start a recycling effort here. We just drive it out to the center once a week. I know it would be hard for y'all - but big cities can have big recycling centers. Thanks - you are awesome and I am jealous
Yes I wake up looking like a supermodel jealous yeah nobody wakes up looking like a supermodel
I'm from Germany, live in a small apartment and use a Bokashi bucket for composting my household garbage. Might be the right thing for you too. Enjoy your travelling and give Occy a hug from me. ♥
What type of insulation did you use?
We used EZ-cool and polyiso rigid foam boards!
Thank you for sharing your experience, including the potential "downsides" and how you approach those concerns.
