    I would just like to say, for the longest time I was thinking how perfectly put together I thought your daily lives where. This video has made you both SO MUCH more relatable especially as a couple. My husband has done the chapstick thing before and ended up buying me one for every point in our house. Tv stand, night stand, computer stand, bathroom, purse and briefcase so he never thinks he has stolen mine.

    LMAO I love this video and it's honesty soooo much! You two are so much fun to watch! Love your channel!
    A few suggestions:
    1.) For the Cabinets and Drawers:
    A,) Try Marine Latches for the Cabinets and Drawers - it will keep them from flying open!
    B.) And add an interior drawer WithIN the drawer for added storage of little stuff.
    (Take a look at Ikea Kitchens to get an idea of what I am talking about.)
    2.) Try re-painting the white cabinets and walls with white gloss, semi-gloss, or satin finish paint. The glossier the finish, the easier it cleans, and more importantly the cleaner it stays! (Also the more light it refracts so it makes a space look brighter.). IDK what the fascination with flat paint is, it gets dirty and stains SO easily!
    3.) Try putting a cargo net in front of the items within the upper cabinets to keep the stuff from falling out when you open the cabinet.
    4.) Add a small shelf to the inside of the upper cabinets to utilize more of the vertical space.
    5.) Go to the Dollar Tree and buy a ton of elastic hair ties. Roll your cloths and put a hire tire around each piece. This way when you dig through your cloths cabinet, the cloths stayed rolled up. This also works brilliantly for suitcases!
    6.) Look into 2 piece cab window shades, they fold up much easier and as a result are soooo much easier to store! For the side cab windows look into side pull down shades, great for driving down the road and for parking.
    OR
    You can get a day/night Slow Roller Shades by Irvine Shade & Door for the front window (or all of the windows for that matter). We just upgraded our travel trailer with these and we LOVE them!
    7.) Why not put a pop up/removable/rv/marine table between the 2 cab seats for eating and put the drivers seat on a semi-swivel?
    I love all the honesty and realness! So much fun to watch! Thanks!

I love that you do not pretend that you are awesome at everything you try for the first or even the tenth time, I love it when you guys do not cut out your inexperience with the outdoors life, electrical failures, looms shouting not being wolves, being afraid of mountain lions or bears , when your back is hurting like hell after hours of biking and all those crazy and amazing things you are going trough.

    I can’t tell you how much we loved this video! It’s great to see real life in a van as opposed to the Instagram version. We’ve lived in our RV built on a Sprinter chassis for about a year so we completely get how real the struggle is. Van life changes your priorities about so many things! We started exactly the same way and it lasted about a month. We also found that we are constantly purging stuff that doesn’t get used.
    A possible solution for things falling out of your upper cabinets. Target has extension curtain rods in different lengths so you can find ones that will adjust to fit your upper cabinets. It might make it safer to open the upper cabinets after a drive day. Thanks for sharing real life!

    YESS!!! Finally someone else who reuses paper towels and saves napkins and condiments 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 our society is needlessly wasteful it’s really nice to see Kara being mindful of the environment. Imagine if everyone was a bit more mindful of the things they throw away. It would make a tremendous impact to our environment.

      Well considering she has one million napkins, that is already produced, in her drawer... it seems like an odd behavior ^)^

      might be better for the envirement.. but I read microbiology in school and made bacteria growth.... that napkin has about a zillion of bacterias thats just growing by the hour, trust me...
      it would be better if she would have a small towel which she clean between the drying or if she just "hit" the brush in the air (over the sink) until it is almost dry and have a small glass by the window where the sun is shining and let the rest dry.
      I had a friend who held their toothbrusch under water and then "sucked" in all the water in her mouth to make it dry, not sure how hygienic that is, but its bettern than that napkin :) not being a hater, just thinking more about the hygien.

    I appreciate this video. I watch a lot of tiny house, schoolie and van videos and my first thought is it can’t be that tidy all the time. Small spaces are difficult to organize and clean. If I have problems in a two bedroom apartment, I can’t imagine what a van like yours can be.
    It’s not you, it’s a difficulty that comes from living in such a small place,

    Thanks for keeping it real! Drying your toothbrush is not weird, using a recycled paper towel could get gross after a while, but if the toothbrush is clean, what's the big deal? Washing your coffee pot with soap is not necessarily a good thing (if you use pure essential oils - the ingestible ones - put a little lemon oil with hot water once in a while and swish it around then rinse). In life, I've learned that more people are messy than neat, if you can live with it and it works for you - who cares what everyone else thinks? Your space is not so messy, and dirt is part of life. I appreciate and more realistic view of van life, and according to the comments below - so do most people. Stay healthy, stay safe, have fun!!

    Don’t worry about seeming too raw, I lived in a van for a while years ago and Yes it gets just as messy as you guys described here.
    Planning on (deliberately) living in a van again soon, and videos like yours help a lot. They Remind me of the good and the bad. So that I’m not looking back with rose colored glasses. And I’m not overly discouraged from it, by others that couldn’t imagine living in a van.
