Rainy Day in a Van | Stayed Inside Because of Rain & Cold Outside

Since today was raining and cold, I decided to stay in my van all day long. Normally, I like to spend most of my day outside, but today seemed like a good day to stay inside and dry and warm.
I spent the day catching up on work and cooking. It was a productive day. I cooked some Bob’s Red Mill soup mix. And I drank lots of coffee.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

Hey Scott! I hope you can see this. I love all your videos. I'm solar power challenged and would love a video showing how you wired your panels to your van. Also, have you ever been frightened by a wild animal on your hikes? Men don't like to admit fear but I think it would be interesting for us to know. I'm a city girl so forgive my ignorance. I'm an RN and don't know much about the outdoors. You're a good man and I respect your lifestyle immensely.

@rhondaweaver4486 hi Rhonda. It’s probably time for an update video overview of my solar. I do have some older videos in a Playlist here: kzfaq.info/sun/PL9PWzpL1cZIEK5IOyMP6XlZN_abmkRega&si=nvoQl8CIyaLzSVot The best advice I can pass along is to use good quality glass solar panels and not the flexible panels. The glass panels generate much more power. I’m afraid of cougars when hiking. They are scary. But I usually stick to well trafficked trails so seeing any wild animals is extremely rare.

When people call a toque a beanie, I expect them to pull out a skullcap with a propeller. I'm glad you got it right. :) When I make oatmeal, I put 1/3 C of Quaker oats, powdered milk, sweetener and a bit of raisin bran cereal in a bowl before adding hot water. A bit of a stir, let it sit, stir and eat. No need to dirty a pot. Sometimes, for a treat, I'll use honey instead of Splenda. Jon in rural BC, Canada

Just an idea for for you from a frugal Scotsman who lived in a van for 12 years. Try making savory oatmeal. You add anything savory. All the items you put into your burritos can go in oatmeal. Put a fried egg on top, cheese to make it like a risotto, pizza items to make it Italian, tofu, chicken or meats/sausages are good too. Sky’s the limit with savory oatmeal and of course a splash of hot sauce :) Thanks for your wonderful videos. Cheers buddy :)

I remember big storms when I lived in that 20-ft trailer in Big Sur. ... :) I remember one day there was this big storm, and the wind was blowin soooo hard, and my crow buddies were sittin in this tree in front of my window. That tree was bending, and those crows were standing almost sideways on that branch, but they were holdin' on ... lol ... funny memory ... wishing you a warm & cozy night out there, Scott.

Loved your video.... I'm older than dirt ... 9 years US Army including a combat tour in Vietnam (2/502 inf 101st Airborne) and spent around 330 days of that tour, sleeping, eating in the mud on those mountain jungles along the DMZ. Being clean was; shaving once every four days... that's it ... We carried the water we used. We had ground sheet to sleep on, as an air mattress will squeak if you move on it (not good in a combat zone). A few times we would find NO markings (I was the point man) of NVA around a mountain stream (ICE COLD) and we would place security while a couple of washed in stream taking turns. My teardrop has a shower tent with a 20 ltr feed tank to a gas water heater. (plus a "porta potty" for my wife) .... digging a hole in the woods works fine for me (LOL). Sorry but 2 quarts???? amazing, mate. Let them bitch, that's amazing! Side note> I move to teach in Australia in 1979 ... used to take my sons, one at a time each weekend camping on my Harley Dresser... It's a life I always enjoyed... great time watching this.

We’ve had a couple of nice thunderstorms in Redondo Beach late this morning and just a few minutes ago. It’s time for some warmer and drier weather so I can head over to S. AZ for my annual camping/hiking trip!

Currently raining here as well = no watering of plants. My emotions never bounce around w/ the weather, I appreciate rain, sunshine, snow, etc. The start of ea day is exhilarating to me = a fresh new start.😊
