Day 40 - to Bamfield and back
Today's plan is to get to Bamfield to pick up the Admiral (Sharon). We had some thoughts about overnighting in Bamfield but Effingham Island was such a beautiful anchorage that we decided to return to it.

We spend the day exploring this island in the Broken Group Islands. This is one of the most popular sea kayaking destinations on the west coast. It became apparent why with the abundance of marine life.

Thx Joseph for your commentary. We have loved travelling with you even if we are in our easy chair on dry land. What an awesome trip. How many more days until you are back home? I want you to keep going but I bet Judy want you back. Jerri y Bruce
I spent a couple of hours visiting with Billy in 2018 after reading his books, on a trip sailing to Alaska. He's fascinating man and rich in great stories about the area, fishing and living off the land.
The bed looks too small/short.
I used to fly with Joel regularly 20 years ago to woods lagoon. Glad to see he's still going
It looks like you caught Sockeye. In BC Area 12, you cannot keep it. Please check closures before fishing in BC coastal waters.
What year Honda Odyssey do you have?
Cheers from Duncan.❤
Having built out my own Sienna mini camper van, I understand why the price is a bit high. I worked on mine for about 6 months, then made a few improvements the following year. It’s definitely a labor of love. ❤️
How to get it and how much is the price? 😍
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing. Great shots of the orcas too :D
You two are adorable!!!! Thank you so much. This is really helpful.
That piece of wood on the burner shelf to fit the notch underneath the burners appears reversed. We're you folks able to flip it around?
Too bad the package is so pricey
I used to work at J&J
This was a really nice cubes for the van. Only thing missing was a toilet.
Great video...thank you
This was to adorable. Thanks for this video. May yal have many exciting adventures. 🙏🏾
What is the width and length
Not sure of the physical dimension but it fits nicely in our 2013 Honda Odyssey. You need to let @vanpackers know the make, model and year. They’re designed to fit that way.
My husband and I are moving to Nanaimo at the end of the month. Can’t wait to check all this out!!! ❤
Great video. Thanks so much for sharing. Just subscribed 🤗
Watching the Vancouver walking video felt like taking a virtual trip. It's an incredible place to explore. I am a fan now.
How comfortable is the sofa? I’m concerned the cushions that come with the kit might move around a lot sitting on the sofa. I suppose a good industrial type velcro could keep them in place. Could you make a video sharing your experience with the sofa? Thank you.
They weren’t too bad for shifting around. We’ll do more in depth videos next camping season. We’re into our cool and rainy season.
I am so excited! My conversion kit is on its way to me here in SWFL. I’ll be doing an SUV conversion on my Rogue. So many cool places here in FL to explore! Congrats on your kit!
We've used ours a couple of time and are really pleased with it! Looking forward to next season.
Did you get your kit yet? What do you think of it?
Yes, I sure did. I’m very pleased with my set-up. It’s so cool how the dual kitchen cabinets fit so perfectly at the rear liftgate. Everything was packaged very securely on a pallet, and wrapped tightly in plastic. The assembly was very simple-even for me 😂 When I had questions, the guys at Vanpackers were quick to respond and always so friendly. My Rogue will be ideal for my wknd adventures. I work full-time during the week in healthcare so the traveling will be both relaxing and fun! And another fun part of this is making all your personal choices on the gear you’ll need.
@@debbiethorne6222- can you post photos or a video of your SUV kit
I really like how compartmentalized it is, easy to assemble and get back to the "kid driver" in 10 min.
Yes, that’s one of the reasons we got this. There’s nothing complicated about switching from one mode to the other. 😎
where did you get this camper kits? Anylinks?
We got this from Vanpackers. Here’s a link to their website. vanpackers.com/en/collections/kit-de-conversion/achat
Looks like so. Much fun! I really enjoyed the video. Can’t wait for your next one.
Thanks. Hope we’ll have a chance to do a couple of trips before the end of the season. Stay tuned.
@@Life_with_J_and_J ❤️ I’m actually retired and on a very small budget. The only traveling I do is to virtual reality and channels like you. I like to think you travel so I don’t have to. Thank you so much!
@@AprilPvd we’ll share as often as we can. You’re welcome to travel along with us vicariously. 😎
That was great.
Love it!
This an awesome set up
They’ve definitely put quite a bit of thought into designing it. We’re glad we found it.
Here’s how it’s set up. th-cam.com/video/nITWCDpQx_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6ieXsm1YFOGz7HZ4
Really cool little setup. Thanks for sharing!
It is a well thought out design. We love it. Stay tuned for more as we start exploring our island.
Here’s a video for the setup process. th-cam.com/video/nITWCDpQx_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6ieXsm1YFOGz7HZ4
Class!!!!
Great video! I really enjoyed it!
Thanks. We had fun unpacking it. It was like Christmas morning. 😀😀
What's the total cost?
The base cost was around $4500 CAD. We added a couple of options and had it shipped to Edmonton. Total cost with taxes was approx $6500 CAD
how long did it take from ordering to delivery?
Did they pass 4th East avenue, va?
Not sure if the route. This was a practice ride and we were at the traffic light at the south end of Cedar Rd

This is actually quite cool to see that there's kits like this you can self assemble into your vehicle. Where'd the back seats go though?
The rear row seats fold down into a cavity. We have to remove the middle seats. We’re planning to do a video to show the before and after configuration.
Here’s a video showing the full set up. th-cam.com/video/nITWCDpQx_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6ieXsm1YFOGz7HZ4
