Thanks for the insight into your van life. We are setting the van up now so all tips appreciated.

Thanks for watching! I also have a series of videos on my van build which might be of interest. Some of them are hidden from the channel at the moment, but I will republish them at some stage, so be sure to check back later.

Seen lots of solo women campers doing their van tours/channels so good to see an Aussie bloke doing the gig too. Hoping one day to get a similar van but for now it’s my Toyota Rav 4 and a 2P tent. 😊

Thanks for the encouragement! Really appreciated 😊 Nothing wrong with making do with what you have. Took me a long time too to save enough money for my van. You'll get there!

@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces that's so awesome. I'm so happy for you! I just got back from Machu Picchu. Love affair with mountains, I guess it runs in the family!

Your crappy day still looked incredibly beautiful and peaceful. I had forgotten the name of Govetts Leap Lookout, I didn't remember I had been there until I saw it - it was so beautiful. Also was able to forage lots of mushrooms in the area.. some fun and some simply delicious. From a fellow van-lifer over in WA.

It is a beautiful area up there. Maybe one day I'll make it to WA as well. A lot to see over there.

I've just found your channel. Nice content. Personally I love rainy days as long as it's not too cold. You have a great set up. I hope to be doing what you're doing in the next year or two, over here in NZ.

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Ай бұрын

Nice! I'd love to come to NZ and travel around for a while...cold though 😁 I hope you can make it happen. It's well worth it!

Enjoy all your videos Jason. Would like to take you back a few previous videos when you said you’re tired of eating ham sandwiches for dinner. May I recommend a Vietnamese “Ham” pork roll called ‘Cha Hue’ brand name Xinh Xinh that you can get from a Vietnamese/Chinese Groceries store. It is a roll with a fried exterior texture but soft centre. It’s delicious! Give it a try if you want something different.

Thanks Amanda. I finally found the weichuan dumpling sauce the other day. Haven't tried it yet, but next time I cook dumplings...😁 I'll have a look out for the cha hue too. I should get some steamed buns too, but my freezer is a little too small for that much stuff 😂

@amandalee7783 4 күн бұрын

You are not only adventurous in sports but food too. Soon you do a BVlog on food too😄. Just show the Grocer the name cha huế ‘Vietnamese Ham’ if you can’t find it. It’s a roll approx L16cm x D7cm

@amandalee7783 a funny fact...at one point, all the Australian government messages coming to my Facebook account were in Vietnamese. I have a lot of Vietnamese friends from my working days 😁

I watched the video all the way through Jason. They're always informative and give a real perspective on van life. I don't mean to be a busy body however, you are a homeowner and have the option to return at anytime or do you lease it out? Just asking, Cheers, Sean.

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Ай бұрын

Thanks Sean! I've actually just sold my house, which was leased out (and still is after the sale 😉) so no, I don't have anywhere to return to. The van is my home for now.

Thanks mate. There's so much to see. It's going to take me years! 😂 I guess you have Walmart over there. I think that's a much bigger version of our K Mart.😁

The Blue Mountains, is it a full time job your lifestyle?

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces 2 ай бұрын

Not really a job. I don't make any money from KZfaq so just post the videos for fun. These long format videos are new for me but seem very popular so I will do a lot more in the future.

Just saw your youtube is still new, what is your main source of income tho?

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces 2 ай бұрын

I rented out my house and living off the small amount of income from that. It's tight, but I'm making it work. Hence the need for unpaid camp sites....

You seem to spend time deleting comments. Cheer up and post when you’re positive or can be. The places and nature were beautiful.

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Ай бұрын

Actually, there's not a single comment I've deleted. You might want to keep in mind that KZfaq does automatically filter out hate speech and anything that is seen as offensive. Sorry that you seem to think I'm a negative person. You seem to be the first one that has commented this way....

Cool 🚐 life, even with its limitations, you seem to enjoy it better and experience freedom at a whole new level. A few things I'd do instead: 9:21 1 spot space from the disabled one (better not to rely on their skills ♿) 11:30 poncho, shorts, crocs (with good sole adherence), a full face see-through visor and go out like a wild man (save the umbrella for special occasions) 😎 12:21 quick boil instead of frying: less smell, messiness and much healthier ❣ 20:24 swap high carb+fat meal with some simpler boiled meal (e.g. veggies, dumplings, soup) for better gut health/sleep... 🍨 ice-cream after lunch allows longer explorations, but at night will keep the bad bugs awake for hours 😅 Cheers and keep up 🧗‍♂

@MakingStuffGoingPlaces 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the very thoughtful comments! Agree with your comment on parking, though usually at these "out of the way" places, there are no disabled drivers...so I get a vacant spot next to me. I think I'd have to move anyway if someone needed to get there wheelchair out! The main reason I carry the umbrella is actually to keep the rain off the camera. I should add a little rain shield to it. You'll see on one of my other videos, the sounds goes funny when the camera got wet. I like your idea of moving my ice cream time to lunch. Could definitely help me sleep better. Just need to break my habit!

@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces glad it might help! Budget solution for the camera: clear transparent bag (e.g. freezing bag) and duct tape or use an elastic around the lens?
