I’ve had a lot of anxiety lately. The anxiety has been affecting my sleep. I also have some reasons to be stressed. Probably like everyone else, I’ve been a little worry about finances. I’ve also had an intermittent problem with my solar charge controller. Put all of that together and I realized I need to take some action. So I’ve left the beautiful town of Ferndale. And I’m off wandering in search of a town that I not only feel comfortable being in, but hopefully can provide some work.
After a short stop visiting with a friend in the Redwoods in Arcata, I drove north to Mckinleyville. Not sure if this is the town I’m searching for. But I had a very nice relaxing hike at Hiller Park near the Mad River. So far, this feels like I’m heading in the right direction.

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.

The problem with that coconut oil is that there could be addivtives like mineral oil whch could interfere. I used to use coconut hair oil and it stained by pillowcases (and pillows, too) pretty bad. Eventually I stopped using oil, and the natural oils in the scalp keeps the hair well, provided it is short and clean..
BTW too much coffee could give you an 'edge' and make one feel jittery. Meditation should help, and it works.
MaryAnnHerndon8276 in her post recommended you read some bedsde story. I think you should. You have a very quiet voice. It is a GREAT idea. Do try with an episode. Start reading some short stories or some excerpt from some book, a philosophical book, or perhaps from the works of John Steinbeck (your voice, somehow reminds me of him, for some unknown reason).
As a coffee drinker I really like your coffee updates. The people who don't like it should just skip ahead or...mind their own business. Thanks for the for the video, they are always entertaining.
Exactly right!
Hello
Its a good point however you tube don't see things that way any comments are a good response for them to promote the Chanel which creates new followers in time
I hope everyone is having a good day
Regards
Haley
You only live once. You’re entitled to a few joys in life….especially, coffee!
Drink as much coffee as you want. It’s one of life’s awesome pleasures! Thanks for all the great videos. 🙏
Telling someone to mind their own business isn’t being rude….they should mind their business!
Hahaha
I completely agree here!
I'm a bit of an introvert and just realized a few yrs go. The panic attack was at work and I was just working for a week on a shift that was different then mine. As a result there were a lot of people i didn't know around me, too close and for just a little too long. It hit me like cold sweats, increased short breaths, a bit of nausea....it was weird.
That's awful. I can relate
I can relate!
I can relate!
Nice comfortable vlog, Scott. I just left Mendocino this morning. I absolutely loved it! The scenery was spectacular! I couldn't get over that
Been there, didn't like it either! Sorry you all have had to experience that.
Watching you helped me fall back in love with coffee! I don't drink alcohol or smoke but I do love all types of coffee!! I love it when you make it!
Thanks LJ!
❤💁♀️I love coffee too and your comment ☕️
👋 Loren,
You're a good hearted man. Thanks for helping our Emi out....
Love your Channel 😊
Bye-bye 👋
Still catching up. Your humor is EVERYTHING. I love how well you know yourself & adjust accordingly. Safe travels.
Thanks Sukesa
I enjoy the longer vids of your day Scott ✌️
Silent Running, wow, i'd forgotten about that movie. But then again, I cut out apocalyptic movies during the pandemic for mental health purposes :) But now...
We all have been having anxiety the last 2 years. Take care Scott.
You mean 6.
@@monkeysuncle2816 Well.........yeah.
Thank you Scott for another wonderfully long episode. I have the impression although its about anxiety and stress you still appear to be pretty relaxed and joking. Cool, great to have the chance to follow you along on a daily diary style episode. Thanks for sharing, appreciated!
Moving to McKinleyville was definitely a good decision. I'm happy to be able to move around as I need.
Hair cut looks nice. Please take care. Some good sleep will help you and lower stress. Work will come.
Hope you will feel better asap Scott.
🙏
Thanks for the honesty about being a bit anxious. You have to feel comfortable while you are vulnerable while sleeping.
The wifi password story was too funny.
It’s not a normal feeling for me. Part of me wants to head back to Mendocino where I slept like a log.
Hey, Thanks for the help my friend
I hear and empathize with you, I get anxiety, sometimes things are really dark, it normally works it's self out.
Speaking of anxiety. I spent New years eve 2006 in the hospital, for 8 hours, hooked up to an EKG thinking I was having a heart attack. Long story short...I was having an anxiety attack.
Of course meditation is helpful for anxiety and so are long walks, which it seems like you do. I'm glad that your taking care of yourself. Thanks for sharing.
I hope that's all behind you
@@StaticCamperVan Yes it is. Thanks.
Great job Scott. You had a nice adventurous day it seems and you do exactly what you want. I sure hope your solar problem gets resolved soon as well as finding work. Take care and thank you for taking your time out to vlog. 😎
Your voice is so calming. I love listening to you and watching your videos plus your coffee info🥰
Thank you so much
Hello Stump, you harbor a memory of former greatness.
As we get older we change our ways we like more peaceful places
Trust me, Scotty is Yoda when it comes to mobility. Love your vibe man. Keep drinking the Java.
Yes, Scotty Kilmer knows his stuff. I’m not sure why you’re mentioning him though
I so enjoy your channel. I hope the anxiety diminished and you are doing well. 😀
Wow love those organic veggies and fruits!👍🌞💫
Coffee is very healthy for you! There is no reason to cut back, there are so many studies proving that coffee is great for you heath in so many ways. Never cut down on coffee it is so healthy!
Trees are our friends 🌲 🌳 and yes we feel energy and we need to listen
Another enjoyable video. You definitely have a talent for making random , everyday tasks fun to watch. Keep up the good vids, and I hope you find an area better for sleeping. Cheers !!!
You’re a good soul Mate. God bless you.
We’re grown men and can consume as much coffee, wine, pizza etc as we want 😋 saying that though I like to mix my coffee consumption with Japanese matcha tea which keeps me buzzing along nicely throughout the day. Really enjoy seeing the different meals you make. The dinner you made with the ground beef looked tasty. Have a great day 👍🏻
you're doing good Scott. that certainly looked a great meal to cheer the cockles of your heart! hope some work comes along soon to tide you over
This looks like a lovely spot. It's good that you mind your health with your meals, exercise & keeping a good frame of mind.
I'm lucky to be able to do these things now
@@StaticCamperVan Yes, you are. And you deserve it.
Love the channel Scott, keep up the great work with your positive videos. What i use to clean out my injectors is the Lucas gas treatment. I try to add it to the Jeep once a month to clean everything out and I have had no complaints using this stuff.
Wow that Salmon salad looks delicious 😋❤
So much admire these lovely scenery trails and then to complete the evening a dinner marvelous
🙋♀️☕🌲
I just love that area! Anxiety is real, I have such a hard time. I do best alone in a forest lol. Your voice is very calming, thanks for your videos
I've been living with, and navigating Anxiety for a significant portion of my life, so I totally know how you feel.
So sorry to hear that. This was a very very new experience for me. Happy to be over it so quickly.
@@StaticCamperVan I'm glad you got past it Scott, and I hope it doesn't return!
Yes tortilla are better price,last longer& fill you up 😉👍🌞
🌞Hi Scott! If you use a dropof cocoa nut oil & a little shampoo it makes your hair healthy and shine,also its good for skin with body wash! As for your pillow cases ,it washes out in wash ,no problem!👍🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄💫🌞
Really enjoyed this one🎉
I just found your channel recently and luv your coffee segments alot. Thank you for your relaxing videos. Your new big fan😊😊😊😊
Thanks Susie
Thanks, it was nice spending the day with you my friend.
Great video Scott - stay safe.👍
I’m with ya Scott. John from Pennsylvania.
Most beautiful place, Northern Michigan
Wow your making me hungry, Good delicious dinner 😋👍🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄💫🌞
The PNW is very beautiful but you can't beat Vancouver Island! JS...🥰🇨🇦
💖 I'm in Vanc. Vanc & Iale is pretty much Pacific SOUTH West. cuz of the border😁 I often use the weather reports from Seattle, and even Portland. We're all in that same Pacific Rainforest region. I sometimes try to move to the East Coast but the PNW really gets into your bones ♥
Beautiful in summer maybe. Stay a whole winter.
Wow, you find such unique and beautiful places. Peaceful
Oh I forgot to say. Thank you for the great videos.
Thanks Glenn
I know I try not too spend too much but it never wks out. I go in for one thing n winde up spending more.😮
Hey Scott hopefully your money stress is resolved soon. The purple stuff has mostly good reviews. It’s called Royal Purple fuel max injection…
I've read good reviews. But I was hoping to hear some feedback from real people. Maybe I need to trust the Internet more! Haha.
A couple of years ago I spent three nights parked at the Arcata sports complex. The place was closed because of the pandemic. Other vehicle dwellers were overnighting there, too. Some of them seemed like long-termers. It was quiet enough for me. One day a woman came around offering staple foods and snacks (to which I said thanks, but I was well supplied), so I think the community was not only tolerant of vehicle dwellwers but also willing to assist. It's a college town so perhaps a little more progressive than some places. And there's a shop that has really good bagels. A few years before I spent a couple of nights at the Samoa Boat Ramp and it was quiet enough, but when I returned it was packed for the weekend. That's how I ended up at the community center.
I just wanted to say I think you're such a lovely human.
Thank you
I love coffee. ...drink all the coffee you like that's one reason I love your channel. ...besides the places you go your cooking and coffee drinking thanks for all the enjoyable viedos.
I switched to decaf recently, coffee was triggering most of my anxiety 🙂
Hope that works for you ☕
Me too. Love the taste not the anxiety.
Try pure Jojoba oil its great it absorbs. You can also add it to your lotion. Also good for dry hair. Google it for the information
Wish you could read a bedtime story, your voice is so calming
This probably wasn’t what you had in mind but it is the closest video I have to reading a story: th-cam.com/video/Q_Kmn4xxDPg/w-d-xo.html
Now that's a VERY good idea. A VERY VERY Good idea.
@Static Campervan: Scott, you could have one episode where you could read some simple short story, even a selection from the works of John Steinbeck (your voice reminds me of his writing, somehow)
love from Cochin, in Southern India.
The Bob Ross of van life!!!!
Sounds like you watched all of this vlog. Thanks for doing that.
4:12 What a beautiful park.
You're ok!
Coffee with vanilla sugar or almond sirop has a very good taste.
Thanks for sharing. Watching from the tropical rainforest of Suriname 🇸🇷
I felt so claustrophobic in the redwood forest I had to leave.
It looks so nice there. I wish I could live in a place like that because I have bad anxiety I can’t be around too many people n traffic here in Dallas it’s bad in traffic.
I have friends who are trees, too. 😊🌳🌲
Another video i really enjoyed so informative and natural
Regards
Haley
Thanks for all you do. Hopefully things will start getting better. What kind of work do you do?
PNW looks like New Zealand.
I'm learning so much about the US west coast watching your videos , ta :D
Hello Stump. Fantastic views. Have a great week.
Thanks Annette
It’s up to you how many cups of coffee you have it’s got nothing to do with any one else xo
Your video's r so relaxing. 🤗
I’ve got to agree with you about the Pacific Northwest it is my favorite part of the country that I’ve lived or visited. The redwoods were stunning camera phone or not, just amazing that you can walk on those paths that close to town. I’m shocked those paths were that empty with that kind of beauty nearby, although them being busy certainly might put a slight damper on the experience.
It was a lot busier than my vlog suggested. I had to wait quite a while to get clear video without people.
I just started watching ( the car care nut ) he seems pretty knowledgeable about vehicles and said how important oil changes are
Oil changes are definitely key
My boyfriend is an auto mechanic and he recommends to just use mid- grade or premium-grade gas once a month or so and skip the cleaner or additives. If they start putting more ethanol into the gas like they are talking about then we all might have to start using additives. If you can drink lots of coffee and still feel good then go for it! 🙃
Good info
Scott I don't think you drink to much Coffee!🌞👍 Drs. Say 3&4 6 oz cups a Day is good,also you have half,half good fats! Coffee is a natural remedy for allergies,as long as its light roast😉👍🌞
Hope you feel better soon!
Oh and that dinner you’re having delicious
When I have limited room in my freezer, I will open the frozen veggies, burgers etc, and portion them into smaller zip lock bags. I can then fit them in the smaller spots and utilize the space more efficiently.
I love your lifestyle 🥰🌿💖
Great video! Thank you! ☕
Great video Scott. I can relate to the anxiety issue. I agree about Scotty Kilmer too! Take care of yourself. Wishing you the best. From Dublin Ireland ☘️.
Beautiful area !!!
I really enjoyed watching your contents it's so soothing i can see you are a perfect gentleman.
thank for the tour throug the trail. Sorry it has to be this way.
Hey Mark. The second half of this video is very important. It sounds like you might not have watched the whole thing
Sometimes is hard to understand and l know sounds crazy ,it also happens to me in the mountains (besides big cities) ., when l take off to relax camping or bondocking l prefer open areas that is deserts valleys, plain deserts dry lakebeds etc. (Closer to higher altitude where is cooler in summer etc.) seems to be more freeing . I noticed when l go to forests as beautiful they are even with water and greenery l get stressed “is weird he?” Hope you find your way in this journey take care.
Enjoyed the vid. Enjoy as many cups of ☕as you like ☺
11:26 What a coincidence, I'm eating those chips as I am watching this video. They are available here in Québec and I just love them.
I know these are essentially "monologues" - but they're so good I really feel like it's been a visit. Thanks!
Thanks Otter!
Scotty Kilmer being “high strung” is an understatement. He has a great channel but yeah he can make coffee nervous
That helped a lot. If you see your van/home clean and organized you will start to feel a lot better. I had to look for help to deal with my anxiety, and between yoga, therapy, meditation, praying and sometimes medication (very rearly) I am feeling better. And about coffe...yes I do like it. I use it without cafeína. But if you do need the cafeína boost, wich is ok, just try not to drink it more than twice a day. We need to make sure that we will get a nice sleep, and will feel with energy and happiness in the morning. And if you pray, start by being thankful for every beautiful and not so beautiful experience the universe has put in your way for you to learn and grow. Again, BLESSINGS.
I heat the coconut oil first. Works great.
Totally agree about the PNW and even though I dream of exploring other places I’ve never been, my heart always calls me back. I’ve mentioned this here before but Seattle was one of the only places where I really had a hard time finding parking and feeling safe and I wish I knew how you made it look so easy. Smaller coastal towns seem similar. Especially as a static van lifer who would love to live in a town like Astoria or Newport I have a lot of anxiety that I might not be able to make it work there.
Astoria and Newport were more difficult than Seattle for me. I found Seattle to be one of the easiest cities for vanlife. Although it has its share of not so great neighborhoods.
@@BT-dl8kq I’ve been here a couple of months now and it’s actually not bad at all. Just needed to get over the anxiety of being somewhere new.
Drink all the coffee you want to drink, let the coffee overlords be damned. Good luck on getting "work". And yes the pnw especially Oregon is #1
I'm enjoying a rather nice cup of coffee right now!
You seem happy but know yourself and when you have to move on. Nomads have to be comfortable in their own skin. I can identify with your generalized anxiety. When I feel anxious I make coffee and intercept what ever is that is a trigger for kidnapping my peace. Love the tree stump. Your right it's a very special place. Reset your heading travel on and revisit this place another time.
It was very strange to have a bout of being anxious. Not something I’ve experienced before or since. Humboldt is now one of my favorite places to be.
Hi there! So, Arcata gives ME a bad vibe and I live in rough and tumble Eureka! Ha ha! There are some nice quiet and pretty areas in Eureka but if you don't know the town you wouldn't know where to go. We have some dear friends in McKinleyville and if you get in a bind they would let you park in front of their house.
Hammond trail is beautiful and yes, the PNW is one of the most lovely places!
For your hair, you could try Cantu Curl Cream for natural hair - no silicone, parabens, propylene glycol or phthalates. Works great on my coarse wavy hair and very reasonably priced.
Winco and the Natural food store usually carry Rustik sourdough bread - plain and cracked wheat - no scary ingredients and under $5 per loaf.🍞
Enjoyed your video! 👍😊
I'm happy that you didn't take offense at my Eureka comment! Thanks for the suggestions.
Loleta is nice as well.
Thanks!
Thank you!
That natural food store you went to makes the best sandwiches.
They looked good. But the prices did not. Haha. But good to know. It was hard to pass by the coffee bar. But I held strong.
They say it helps the channel to like and comment....Sooo, Thumbs up 👍
Thank you
Hey! You enjoy the coffee, drink it! I love coffee too!
I’m about ready to make another cup just now!
I'm a coffee drinker also. Our treat. 😊
Scott, have you ever watched the Netflix movie “Murder Mountain” ?
It’s very entertaining and the first thing I always think about when someone mentions Humboldt County. Stay strong and prosper 🤓💕
No, I don't have Netflix. I loathe anything to do with Hollywood
