    Thanks for watching! ❤ I had to use my iPhone for the majority of this video and I find it changes how I film. Do you guys like more raw videos or more cinematic videos? Lemme know because I feel like I was able to be myself more with this style of vlogging which made it a lil more fun too!

True good friends and that is something I love about the vanlife nomad life are the like lifestyle friends you guys make as your all on the same page living in a vehicle.

    I remember Bob Wells demoing how when visiting Alaska, he flew in and rented some kind of van, bought some cheap stuff at Walmart and good will, and spent his few weeks up in your nick of the world quite comfy, a happy camper ! He also started very basic, walking by a van, thinking of how much $$ he was wasting on rent, and got the idea of trying to live in a van. Very successful stories. Definitely the box truck mansion is a great idea, not sure about as much mobility or accessing remote areas, but definitely more visitor friendly. Love your spirit, doing great given the circumstances, hope the jeep is up and running 😉⚒⚘🇨🇦🍃☔

    Decades ago, old cars were frequently dumped along stream banks to prevent/reduce erosion during severe flooding. Engine/fluids/transmission/glass were removed. The vehicle would fill with stream sediment and become very lodged. Sometimes the vehicles were tied together with large cables. Sometimes the tires remained due to how they were transported.
    Last year, California central valley a levee broke and vehicle were deliberately rolled in as an emergency flow restriction. Windows and all. To be removed later, maybe already.

    Engine light doesn't always mean instantly needed or costly repair. For about 20 dollars you can buy a scanner to plug in and check engine codes. It gives you an idea of what is wrong. The 3.6 Pentastar isn't a bad engine.
