Love your channel. I'm binge watching. Don't let the negative people and comments affect who you are. I love it. I'm a retired truck driver and enjoy looking at the places you travel. Like seeing old friends.
I am so glad I found your channel; very relaxing. I Love watching your vlogs. Those cookies would be gone in one minute for me. I have no control when it comes to cookies & ice cream. :)
Here in Australia, shopper parking is time limited to stop commuters leaving cars there all day 🙃 it’s enforced by idiot security ppl (emergency services rejects/wannabes)…
While you live your best life nested in your tiny mobile dwelling the same challenges exist for you as the next person who travels and shapes their lifestyle in a van. You face each element of the environment strategically. Your prepared and comforted by the nuances of your van design and make it home. You have successfully incorporated and embraced can life and made it work when the weather is good or poor. You figured it out. You seem content and squared away with your lifescape. That's something alot of people who have an apartment condo or sticks and bricks home don't have in the way you do. Good for you!
Really enjoyed this weather laden visit. Calming. Humor. Eats. Snacks. *** Yes, if the head is covered but the toes are cold, time to put the heat on! *** Was reminded to be grateful for my smallness - I can still pretty easily pass from the front to back / back to front of my mini-van (no need to go outside). But if I were taller it might not be so easy.
Scott, what about riding out the storm in an indoor mall garage? I did that when I got caught in South Florida during a hurricane. Thank you for the great videos!
just found your channel Cooking Oats for Breakfast. Always cooked mine the day before. Bring to boil with oats already in, give it a stir when boiled, put lid on and take off gas then cover with a thick cloth. it will cook on its own over night. it turns out solid and a clean pan. i put mine in a microwave to heat up, but i guess you'll use the pan.
In warmer weather, I will soak oats overnight and heat them briefly before eating. But there isn't any reason to heat or cook oats that have soaked overnight.
The last time I got a severe weather warning the rain stayed on full blast with heavy winds and off and on lightning and thunder. i parked close to the side of a. Walmart building that lessened the wind shaking my van. I was expecting a knock on my 🚪 but none came. When I woke up there were 4 cars parked in back of me. Later that day a police car passed he gave a thumbs up I did the same and he drove off. In snow my favorite is the lower level of a large multi level hospital parking lot I park fairly close to the elevator I have a handicap placard and handicap spots are near the elevators. I have met 2 other van lifers and we keep in touch and have spent. 2 snow storms together Its great when they shut the city down no cars are allowed on the roads. Maintenance crews come around and brush the snow off all vehicles and plow the driveways its a win win situation. If people are stranded Im told the hospitals have places to stay until the severe weather is over.
OMGOODNESS, you reminded me of a time I was lost in Texas. Seemed like nothing around for miles. Till found a different rest area next to an abandoned building. The rain was coming down hard, like this video. Did the best I could and even put my emergency brakes 😆. The sound of the rain was so calming I even was rocked to sleep with the van swaying. I actually slept peacefully
Hi scott! I just discovred your channel! I am from L.A. and left in 1963, and feel the same as you about returhing. I love to hear the raiin oh your Van, and like you., as you seem to be gentle man with kind eyes. I enjoyed watching and listening to you go about your day. I would love to see your very first vlog! FYI I am a Black lady! Leona
Hello Mr Scott and hope you have always a wonderful moments in your life. Just want to ask about your set of coffee preferably with links. Thanks for sharing us you brave life style.
I’m sorry, not sure if I understand. Are you curious about the coffee maker? I use an Aeropress usually. And there are some links to other coffee related products in my Amazon Store link that is found in the description box of every video.
Love this video Scott. I’m chilling in my room pretending like I’m in my van. It’s raining outside. I love these videos thank you my friend again for another awesome video slowly going through all your videos. This one made the day after Thanksgiving special just chilling in my bedroom vanwith you listen to the rain having coffee eating some food.
Good coffee & yummy cookies on a bleak day. All cosy and warm, quiet and snug. Listening to the soft pitter-patter of rain on the roof. This video is a mood, and I'm here for it :)
@@ianm5249 that’s not an easy question to answer. I’m also not supposed to talk about it. The easiest answer is to say that the algorithm prefers longer view times
You did well with your cabin fever! I was on You Tube for the entire day and night watching Ryan Hall Weather reporting all those tornadoes that hit yesterday March 31, 2023. What a strange massive group of storms. I like hearing rain. I'd have had to take a nap. Cookies and Coffee, there you go! :)
Greetings from Epsom Surrey, UK😎. Thanks for sharing your day… Santa Cruz.. surfed there for first time 1990.. then upto Portollo, and Quincy. Happy memories…. STAY SAFE OUT THERE
I'm from Sacramento... so a NorCal girl. I agree that NorCal and SoCal feel like completely different states. I also agree that Santa Cruz and Capitola are fantastic places. What's not to love....Good weather, ocean, redwoods, cool people. 😎
The malls are dead almost everywhere. It’s so hard for small businesses succeed in this economy. I haven’t been to Santa Cruz in many years. It had a lot of charm back then and hope it hasn’t changed.
Good for you, I am always getting teased because I don't put a lid on my travel mug. And I do it for that exact reason, it taste better to me when I can smell it while I am drinking it.
Omg u remind me of my husband and when I saw u put the nutritional yeast on your food I couldn’t help but laugh, he’d be perfectly happy with Van life too he’s always talking about it . Thanks for sharing your videos just subscribed.. 😀
Love the sound of rain on your van, so soothing! I’m new too and binging! You make me a little sad to have left my native California. P.S. I feel about Kenyan coffee the way you do about Ethiopian! ☕️
Great video….again! I love those cookies too! The coffee tin is pretty……keep it and use it for something. 😊👍 (I wish I could drink as much coffee as you)
Yay, I just bought my first bottle of Yellowbird. So excited to try it, a man after my own heart I hope I love it as much as you. Thanks for introducing it to us
It’s so relaxing to spend a rainy day with you and your coffee. I’m glad that your van and you were safe during this storm. Keep up the beautiful film work.
Yum, those cookies look good - especially with a good steamy cup of coffee! Hope you got more work done. Yes, malls are becoming obsolete. Still good places to walk though!
Yay, thank you for the introduction to polenta! Something i had never eaten or even heard of! Since i developed some very challenging food sensitivities i haven't had cookies....those cookies look like something i could enjoy and actually tolerate. This video was a super win for me! I enjoyed all of it. I live in very small quarters which i don't mind at all because i too prefer to be outside. The one upgrade for me was a zero gravity chair to recline in as pain is often an issue and my body has a tendency to lock up when I'm not able to get out and walk about. I really appreciate and admire your ability to enjoy life and get along well with very little excess.... obviously what may be excessive to one isn't to another...not judging...😅 Thank you so much for sharing your life!
Every time you make coffee I want to make it too so I'm having mine right now while I'm watching your video! I admit I am a coffee addict! Got to go find me some cookies to go with it! Haha!
Made me smile when you said you’d finish that bag of cookies “tonight” lol I gotta go buy them now!!!! Justify eating two now!! You are adorable I love your videos! Just found you! Keep them coming!
This was 3 months ago. Hope that you're enjoying the weather, much more now. I would just kick back and do some sewing or something creative, and sip my tea, and listen to the rain, all day. Possibly watch some you tube, as well. A beautiful rainy day is gift... In my eyes. 🥀🌸💝💮🤗🥸💮💝🌸🥀
I am a coffee lover too. I am glad to see you smiling more. What do you use for your migraines, I have tried everything my new thing is Botox every 12 weeks. My niece and her daughter and wife live in a small town just above Santa Cruz I think it is called Bear-creek. She work at the USPO in Santa Cruz .
If you need more protection, try parking in a car wash stall. I live in okla. When we get hail or wind we would park there. Also check if any places have underground parking. Like malls or office buildings.
I was traveling during severe weather one time. I saw tornadoes in distances and got off interstate and ended in small town. Everything was locked down tight. I parked the van between two brick buildings, in a small alley, until weather cleared. We ended up safe. Tornado missed town, but hit cars on interstate. Be safe out there!
I’ve been getting older videos from you pop up on my feed today. I click on them and I’ve already given you a thumbs up, which means I’ve watched them. I’ve been rewatching. 🥰
New here, nice video. Thank you for pointing out how the coffee tastes different when you can't smell it. Looking back, that is so true for me too but I didn't realize it until you said it on this video. I have been leaving the lid off my Brumate lately and now I know why. Down side, I recently spilled my coffee everywhere because I had the lid off my 100% spill/leak proof mug. LOL! Happy to subscribe. Cheers ☕

Like the way you are so detailed with your day. Since this is a thought process for me so far it actually will help me make up my mind whether to try boondocking or not. Thank you for posting about your van time.
These are my favorite type of videos of yours is when you stay inside the van for the whole day.
Omg .. except do u have an escape hole from your own breath?

Man after my own heart. Coffee and cookies, and listening to the rain. ☕️ 🍪
SEEMS SO COZY IN THE VAN WITH THE RAIN OUTSIDE ! !
ALWAYS LOVED A COZY SPACE ON A RAINY DAY ! !
Thanks Alice
Love how you find enjoyment from the simple things in life like a good cup of coffee and the shelter of your van on a rainy chilly day. Take care!
That is the moment.
Very genuine personality love the rain in the background good video
What a sweet man? I love the sound on the van. Thank you for taking us into your life living in a van. I am watching from Australia
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you
The sound of the rain was so lovely
You should have more subscribers cause your awesome❤
Aww, thanks Charlotte
I agree. Scott is a really nice humble guy who will continue to grow his channel over time. 👍🏻👍🏻
I am so glad I found your channel; very relaxing. I Love watching your vlogs. Those cookies would be gone in one minute for me. I have no control when it comes to cookies & ice cream. :)
Some malls have free garage parking that would offer protection from bad weather.
Yes, I addressed this a little later in the vlog
Here in Australia, shopper parking is time limited to stop commuters leaving cars there all day 🙃 it’s enforced by idiot security ppl (emergency services rejects/wannabes)…
I’m like you Scott, I’d have to finish off the bag in one night too. Hahaha. Love the idea of coconut in it. Those cookies do look pretty darn good.

These ProMaster City vans are a little narrower than a regular minivan. I kind of forget about the size difference between the two
Very peaceful watching your videos. I'm a new viewer to your channel
Just a Static man living in a dynamic world.
Yeh! Yes coffee is always needed. The rain sounds so great on the roof. Coffee, rain, cookies...how much better can it get 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Your voice is so soothing and then the rain 🌧️ sounds in the background 💞
Thank you
I love the rain AND the wind! It's humbling and calming,
What a beautiful day!! Seriously, love the rain!
It was a good day
Scott, what about riding out the storm in an indoor mall garage? I did that when I got caught in South Florida during a hurricane. Thank you for the great videos!
As I explained in the vlog, I parked outside to get solar power.
I so enjoy your sense of humor 😊
"See it has my name on it" 😂
Good video, nice you got out for a walk in the heat of the mall. Coffee and cookies, oh life’s rough, LOL keep safe!

Hi from the UK enjoying your content, top tip if a cookie comes out of the package broken it contains no calories so it won't count on the total 🤔

Why don’t you buy the Coleman folding oven. Then you can bake cookies. It folds flat and won’t take much space.

Funny how he says I parked away from trees - surrounded by trees lol. Anyway I find your videos very enjoyable.
I am a coffee lover too. I am glad to see you smiling more. What do you use for your migraines, I have tried everything my new thing is Botox every 12 weeks.
