In Yellowstone and Tetons now having a good time. Been traveling since 6/1/23 from Florida to the Arctic and working our way back. South then East then South. Guys good great. Have fun guys!
We were camping at Teton and Yellowstone a month ago and enjoyed many of the same areas and will say that you covered it very well and our sprinter van Thor sanctuary was quite comfortable for sleeping, but we brought the wife’s forerunner so the grandchildren could sleep in it to reduce the issues with tents and occasional rain showers. Enjoy your blog, and I am now considering a trailer for behind the sprinter because of the lack of storage and the convenience of a separate tent for grandchildren or friends guests, etc..
You guys area great team. My Laura and I have been married for 35 years this fall. Its not always pretty but if you don't talk about it you can't fix it. Communication is key! We are planning to hit the road when we retire. Stay safe and you will see me in the next one!
My wife and I are really looking into buying a large 5th wheel camper to live in so we can travel the country so she can travel nurse. I think it'll be pretty cool but don't have a clue what I'll do for work. Luckily travel nurse pay is ridiculous. Definitely going to have to build out a powerstroke to pull the camper too. Was pretty cool seeing a vid about "living" in close quarters. Gonna have to take some notes.
Leave the dog at home, bring Ashley, lol. Always enjoyable watching you two together. Curious how she feels about the ST...especially since this one doesn't have a toilet.
So we love watching the vids of you guys together but of course watch always no matter saw you at overland expo west and you were super busy but I think these Q&A are the best you guys remind us so much of us keep doing these ❤ #23years and going strong thanks for the amazing content
Thanks for answering my question even though you don't have any hidden secrets. Lol. See you in next video!! Added question since you have had both and used for a while. Go back in time. You are buying a new van, 4x4 or AWD? Any spots awd didnt get to?
Talon, QuickTip get yourself some Avon skin so soft bug guard and rub it on your face neck and Hans the mosquitoes and bugs don’t like it they’ll stay away.
Ha ha Ashley, my step daughter has ADDADHD, I know that scenario all too well. Hey Talon, does she start cleaning one thing and then go to clean five other things but never finished the first three..
No matter what permit you have, there's a crazy patchwork of states you will have to avoid. Or where you may be allowed to transport it, secured and stiwed, but not stop for anything but gas. Even with provisions for retired law enforcement...plan on highly constrained travel if you carry.
Good video! One question that came to mind is, what is the creepiest thing that has happened to you guys while sleeping in the van, or just in general being in the van all together???🤙
Not gonna lie, it looks beautiful. But I have two reasons fir not going to Yellowstone, personally: 1. in some tv show, I heard thag we are near the required threshold to cause a massive eruption of the magma reservoirs underneath the Yellowstone Caldera because lately holds more magma than previously estimated. 2. And even when this threshold it is measure in many years, more than decades, easily hundreds or maybe even a couple of thousands years.......With my luck, I'm not willing to risk it with my presence there, not just for me, but for the poor animals there. (It's like the conspiracy theory about Tayllr Swift's romance with Travis Kelce. You know, probably she just likes him, and is not about changing the results of Google's web search about her expensive, polluting private jet's vain travels.......But no one can deny that her presence there in that jet's game was the trigger of a chain reaction that culminated in that conspiracy eruption. I mean, small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system......like the presence of a person in a place. Why risk the butterfly effect? 😊)
Have you ever had wild animals/bears wolves coyotes around the van while camping? And what do you do for income that allows you to live this great lifestyle .Aloha 🤙🏾
It was nice to see a video focused on you two!

Oh come on Ash, those aren't little charcuterie boards, they are adult lunchables lol :-)
Wheres the line though 😂 it seems to blur from one to the other

Goldfish for the Road! 😎
3 months into living out of our Kimbo full time... so much learning all this stuff in real time lol...thanks for sharing!
This was a lot of fun to watch.
Just found your channel (new subscriber) and really appreciate your honest take on van life.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks such a fun couple and video. 🔥🔥👍💙💙
Lol Only vans? Lol. T shirt. So much marketing potential.

Just got to 18:00. OMG the ADHD vs OCD 😂

Only vans - 😂😂😂 hysterical!
Awesome as always
Great video as always bro answered a lot of really good questions I was also curious about the cost so that was cool to hear!!! 😂
"that National Park lady" 😂
The most stoked ranger I’ve ever seen
I will say Ashley's skin is pretty amazing
Thanks for answering my question even though you don't have any hidden secrets. Lol. See you in next video!!
Added question since you have had both and used for a while. Go back in time. You are buying a new van, 4x4 or AWD? Any spots awd didnt get to?
Im still picking the AWD. The drive ability of it is way better then the 4x4 counterpart.
Talon, QuickTip get yourself some Avon skin so soft bug guard and rub it on your face neck and Hans the mosquitoes and bugs don’t like it they’ll stay away.
Yeah, I always sleep next to the door as well
Ha ha Ashley, my step daughter has ADDADHD, I know that scenario all too well. Hey Talon, does she start cleaning one thing and then go to clean five other things but never finished the first three..
Sweet video. Do you bring your gun with you? What type of security device do you use?
cdo....because it has to be in order😉
Yup !
Just wondering how do you watch Netflix on your TV in your van?
Star link?
Yup starlink for anything that involves being connected.
Lol OnlyVans methods def needs it's own video...somewhere. We talk about toilet methods, why not that...right? Right 😜
As you travel the country, I assume you conceal carry. Is so, which CCW permit do you have?
No matter what permit you have, there's a crazy patchwork of states you will have to avoid. Or where you may be allowed to transport it, secured and stiwed, but not stop for anything but gas. Even with provisions for retired law enforcement...plan on highly constrained travel if you carry.

Has Ashley’s nursing skill came in handy during Van life? I think I seen one video, maybe when you were in Mexico, where she had to patch someone up.
Yup that’s the time that came to mind for me too 😂
Not gonna lie, it looks beautiful.

😊)
Do you guys use the portable toilet in the storyteller? How do you like it and how often do you empty it?
We actually don’t use it. I took it out after I picked up the van and it’s never been used.
@@TalonSei so just crapping in the woods?
What’s the book thing Ashley brings out at the end of the video that she says is the best gift you’ve gotten her?
Her kindle
any advice on enjoying traveling alone?
How long can you usual last full time in a van before the ROI favors selling and getting a new rig 100k miles? 150k?
Depends on the quality of the initial van / build components.
YOU SOLD THE SATVAN?! That must have been sad 😢
"I think we answered that earlier... hehe" lmao
for real if OnlyVans isn't a shirt already, get on that.
Van life adventures over seas? youve seen so much of the US are you itching to explore another country yet?
Have you ever had wild animals/bears wolves coyotes around the van while camping? And what do you do for income that allows you to live this great lifestyle .Aloha 🤙🏾
Question, would you consider adding the metric system and centigrades in the video for your non US viewers
Do you carry a weapon in the van?
be flexible and be humble.
