Living in MINIVAN Camper and Traveling to 11 National Parks!
Howdy. These are highlights of the road trip I took this summer. In six weeks I visited 11 national parks around the Utah desert, the great Northwest, and the Rocky Mountains in Montana and Wyoming. I camped out of my minivan camper while staying in national forest and BLM public land. It was a great experience and I got to see a lot of beautiful places. But there were also some unexpected lows which I want to share in an upcoming video so stay tuned!
The national parks I visited were the following: The Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, the Redwoods, Crater Lake, Mount Olympus, Mount Rainier, the North Cascades, Glacier, Yellowstone, and the Grand Teton. The parks not shown in this video can be seen in my previous videos. However, I didn't shoot any footage through Glacier or the North Cascades.

Hey folks. Here's my journey through Utah in my minivan camper. It was amazing to see a lot of the parks in Utah I haven't seen yet. I'm happy to be getting close to being out of the desert though. It's so freaking hot. I'm heading north this week, hopefully with cool beach or mountain air! Stay tuned for adventures exploring the California coast and the Redwoods. Thanks so much for watching!

Minivan Camper Conversion | Simple and easy build!
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a look at the wooden platform I built for my Dodge Grand Caravan minivan camper. The idea was to raise the floor to be even, while keeping the size of the platform small and low to the ground. I used plywood and a few 2x2 pieces of lumber for support and bracing. I bought cheap carpet from Home Depot and use the basic tools to put everything together, nails, screws, staple gun, as well a...

Living the minimalist life | Learn to let go!

In this video I talk about how minimalizing what you own is one of the quickest ways to foster peace of mind. Living a simple life with less things means freedom and less to worry about. Stop comparing yourself with others - most people are in debt and only have the illusion of success. Things do not equal success. You are not your stuff!

    Thank you for the encouragement, Steve. I am also considering converting to a semi nom@dic transition very soon. I’m only about 20 minutes South of the location you show here and although I’ve gone through CR via I25 many times over the last six years, I didn’t realize that there was open space there that would be friendly. I encourage you to look at some other RV lifestyle channels and expand your offering. As a woman alone, I’m going to be very interested in safety, staying warm, and super-stealth. Also, I am going to want to maximize my quality of life by looking for educational opportunities, figuring out how to stay connected, like via satellite, even finding communities of very mellow people who also are seeking a kinder gentler lifestyle. Peace to you, brother!

    Dried and consumed at low doses, the Amanita is a very calming. It is somewhat sedative at first but after it's initial psychoactive influence and sleep, it brings a clarity of thought that is quite remarkable. I have collected the Amanita Guesowii here in South Jersey(the Pine Barrens) and it is a bit stronger than the Muscaria... or at least the ones I have found. While it may not be for everyone, I have benefitted immensely from its effects especially as a sleep aid. I personally would have FILLED that van with this tremendous gift from nature!😁

This trip I did in the northwest was amazing and I saw a lot. But I need to focus on smaller parts of the country instead of trying to cover so much ground. It was a little overwhelming. I’ll let you know if I’m thinking about kayaking down the Mississippi :)
