      Some of the people who choose to live in their vehicles and have the financial resources required to buy the stuff they need to be OK are happy with their choice. Vanlife is still regular life, just in a vehicle. And I'm only saying this because people have sold their homes and jumped into vanlife really believing that's it's wonderful all the time. They were shocked to discover that it's challenging and takes awhile to get use too.

      That's true. It's a world of difference if you are retired and have the means to travel, do whatever you want, and go on big adventures. I have enjoyed 2 years vanlife and can't even imagine being confined to a box with no wheels. 💙🦋🦋

      @@livingmybestestlife Most of those people didn't take the time to fully research vanlife first, & jumped into it too quickly. Those who did all of the research & planning first, are fully enjoying it.

    Other than really insulating a cooler even more, put a brown paper bag inside on top and then a folded up towel on top of that. Throwing a heavy towel over the outside of it helps too. I always put ice inside ziplocks so everything inside doesn't get wet.

I have a lot of questions but maybe she has already answered them in some of her videos I hope to watch soon. Thank you.

    @joanndavis4843 5 месяцев назад +1

    Liked your comfortable and convenient setup. Must be real cozy. I day camp out of my mid-sized suv and cook out of the back of it. I only use my small butane stove inside a metal box with a door that swings up. It used to be a rolling toolbox. I figure if any kind of flame goes astray, it will be contained at least in something metal versus sitting out somewhere on a table with flammables nearby. And congrats on you wearing your car keyfob on your person! A lot of solo women in vanlife videos say to always keep it where you know it is in a place IN the van. The only problem with that is if have to make a quick getaway for whatever reason and they are on other side of their van where their key is not, now they have to get to the key and waste precious moments when they could have just hopped in the driver's seat and away they went! You got the right idea, though. Hope this comment registered to other van lifers so that it can help😊.

    I was hoping she would show us the toilet set up.
    Also, how to get in the mini van without using knees and can't step up that high. If I use a step stool, then how to get the step stool in when I can't reach down and over very far.
    I was happy to hear the mattress is comfy.

    • @ButterflyTracks
      @ButterflyTracks  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hey, Tooned.
      1. The toilet was simple. Legs extend then you put a bag over the seat.
      2. I usually leave the stool outside. At a Cracker Barrel or truck stop, I park next to those islands with a curb. I use the curb as a step. 🙂

    Not able to watch this yet. But. I would like a van I can transport my power chair in. Budget is limited. I currently have a sienna with a Braun conversion and self locking device. I had a set back in health so I have not been able to load and unload my camping bins. I think if I had a bigger van I might be able to camp out and travel but, need help finding one. I am bedridden for the most part. Started camping out a couple of years ago. Have Lyme disease and mold illness so need. Lean air inside and out. Have mcs also and MCAS. I am living on the low end of social security. Not sure how to see messages someone might leave me.
