Same! I've bought everything from body wash to car parts on Amazon. Every time my husband thinks he has found something to stump me with I'm like, "got it and it will be here in two days!" When the pandemic first started, and I couldn't sleep, I would window shop on Amazon. My "save for later" list is astounding! Lol
Having traveled around in an older motorhome I can tell you that a knowledge of how your systems work is extremely important when you break down in the middle of nowhere. One of the things you need to have in your van is a set of tools and fasteners. You may need screws, washers, nails, bolts as well as electrical tape, duct tape, screwdrivers, wrenches and a hammer.
RichyReacts Dude, look at what the comments and replies are about before posting your crap. Promoting your channel when people talk about their Dads, who have passed? Really?
And she won’t do crap, other than to complain....but if he does it ‘right’, she’ll claim WE did it together! Lol, so obvious how women take accountability
Congrats on the van it looks like a good one. You will love life on the road, it’s so liberating. After bouncing around this continent for 5 years we upgraded to a more internationally capable vehicle,, then the virus hit. We’re at our home base in Alaska for the time being. Hope our paths cross on the road.
When quarantine happened, I couldn’t help but hope you’d get a van and tour the United States! I’m so glad you’re doing this. I’ll be along for the journey!
Your Channel has to be one of the most original ones! Not only showing the beautiful and easy sides, but also showing that there are struggles! This is what makes a REAL channel. Thank you for being honest and sharing everything. Greetings from Switzerland :)
I love how you adapted your channels concept after COVID-19 started (also these renovations videos are so fun to watch). I can’t wait to see your new adventures! good luck& have fun!
My grandparents used to travel in a van nonstop several years ago. They would be gone for several months to a year at a time! Now they’ve retired but the stories of their travels across the US and Canada are great. Can’t wait for the travel vlogs!!
Whenever you start a project, never use the “E” word. Jinxes everything. It can be “straightforward” or “do-able” but never say “easy”! I speak from experience. 🙂
You both are so wholesome and I can tell you’re trying to stay positive even though this project is difficult. I can’t wait to see the awesome adventures! It will be worth it in the end
Natalie Wainwright I just checked and I don’t think they follow Trump anymore... but yeah, If they are still a Trump people, I’ll never click on a video of theirs again.
Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago- so excited to "travel" with you this summer since we won't be going anywhere. Today I started from the beginning with Japan. Something to look forward to each day! Thank you!!
This is my impression of Kara after she pepper sprays an intruder: “Hey, I’m sorry. I know that stings! The police are on their way to give you a ride, they’ll be here soon. Do you want some water?”
Freaked me right out....my husband is extremely experienced with power tools and still managed to nearly cut his left leg off last weekend with a grinder........VERY scary and he has been very lucky, severed a muscle but didnt hit any major nerves or arteries and should be back on both feet in no time but it was a close run race, he was heading into his right leg when he managed to stop it. Grinder is now in the bin, turns out the safety was faulty.
#1: you need an awning on the outside of the vehicle. It’s incredibly handy for boon docking. #2: Don’t cook inside. Cook outside under the awning. Plus you won’t have to deal with condensation inside causing problems.
Oh man, really don't like wobbly tables, that's probably the first thing I would fix ahaha. Also don't undersell yourself Kara, everyone needs a cheeleader! ;)
I'll totally use a power Sit/stand underframe like form IKEA, and fix the leg with a plate on the ground. Much much stable and easy to convert to a bed at night. Link to IKEA: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/bekant-sit-stand-underframe-for-table-top-black-80263224/
I’ve loved van life for years and I’ve been working my butt off to live that lifestyle and I’ve always liked their channel and how their constantly on honeymoon so they just combined the two things I love and I STAN
Love this guide, so true! Also, when you hit the road, you’ll realise a lot of things you wanna change again, and again, and again. It’s part of van life! 😎
The joy of van ownership and van life... repairing things that come loose in travel, replacing things that break in travel and/or daily use, and so on. It is a good learning experience for both of you. Thankfully, Nate's dad and mom were close by to offer their expertise and loving support. Never take your parents for granted. Enjoyed watching your video today, even with the real experience of having to do something for 3x more time than it should have taken. Stay safe, keep cool in the heat, and be good. God bless you abundantly! Pastor Dean, Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL.
Nate: pulls out a wire and proceeds to touch it to check if there's electricity... My heartbeat going off the roof, thinking Nate please dont, please dont.
When you start exploring the US, you're going to find in very short order that you were born in an astoundingly beautiful and varied country. Just think about this. In the north of Alaska, there's the Arctic. Hawaii is tropical, and much of the far South is subtropical. There's the desert SW, Creole French spoken in the LA bayous, Hawaiian mixed with English in Hawaii, national parks that people come from around the world to see, etc, etc. Just for fun this past winter, I picked 2 cities for the present temperature. Honolulu was sitting at 90F, and the same moment, Fairbanks was at -40; that's a 130 degree temp. span in the same country. I could say more, but I think I've made my point.
@Tony Samson Actually your wrong. People do care and maybe that's where you are going wrong with your life. It's time Tony to CARE. And show yourself first, and then people RESPECT. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Have a great day.
@@rsplatpc , good point! :))) Of course, driving to CA, flying over, and renting a car is always an option. By the way, your name is hard to pronounce. : ))
For the table, you just need to make a detachable leg that you can put on the the wobbly side that doesn’t have any support. You can probably attach some brackets to the bottom to lock it in, and then remove the leg and store it/the table when you’re not using it.
Hey buds! I have an RV which my BF and I rebuilt together! It ALWAYS feels like you’ve lost before you feel good about your build!! I’m proud of y’all, your van is looking amazing so far!
If you're gonna hit the road, you need to give your van a name as it's the new member of your travelling team. I would like to suggest 'Christopher' (patron saint of travellers). Hey, I wonder if the previous owners of the van are watching what you are doing!
This is a lot of work! What I admire about you, Nate, is you never give up. (Thank you Dad & Mom for your support!) I'm sure working on this was hot and frustrating. Kara, I relate to you as well because I have no skills in the areas you mentioned either. I'm glad you are traveling the U.S. I think you will find some amazing discoveries ... and we all get to watch!
I remember in the begining i didnt like the van vlogging but it has grew on me and i love the both of u guys so much and see ur vlogs brightens my mood and makes my days a whole lot better and beautiful. Thank you guys for keep going and love ur editing.❤❤❤🥰
Gosh, I miss home! I'm originally from Clarksville, TN and I always kick myself when I go home to visit for ever moving away! Good luck on finishing everything and HAPPY TRAILS!!!
Put hooks on the bottom of the window covers too so you have 4 corners to attach to maybe. That way it will sit flush against the window hopefully. Just an idea.
I love those window covers. What a brilliant idea to use magnets! :) Stuff in storage can be so gross! I'd forgotten about that. Good job getting fans that won't cut your finger off! *Making notes* Kara, your editing is still so stellar.
This video brings back memories of my dad because he built a wodden "cabin" onto the back of a station wagon back in the 1970s. I was just a little kid but it was so much fun to play inside there. My dad was pretty smart and creative.
Good job to the whole family! What a team :) I can imagine how frustrating those little things that-take-much-longer-than-planned can get but I can't help but feel like this video was still super fun to watch for us lol I can't wait to follow you on your next van-adventures!
I just discovered your vlogs a few weeks before quarantine hit. You've help me "travel" while real traveling wasn't possible. Thanks so much for a wonderful escape from quarantine. I started at the beginning and am already starting year 4 (plus watching your brand new ones)!!! When you're ready to hit the road, I'm your gal for Lancaster Amish country in Pennsylvania!
Good renovation checklist. Runs stronger, less hold ups in the end 💟 For back window cover, could do a stick on hook and thread a loop of braided cloth to corners thru grommet. Maybe do a drilled silicone plug that will fit to hold it snug.
Family on Standby As a masculine presenting, trans lesbian, I find your comment incredibly offensive! Welcome to the land, not of the Free, but of Woke! 🤪
I love how your van is coming together. I'm sure you have this, but if you ever want any tips on boondocking or traveling full-time in the van, let me know. I've been on the road and in my fourth year in my van also. Cheers! I'm in CO right now.
The advantage of building your own anything from scratch is that you know everything from the bottom up. You know where are all the wires are going because you put them there. Plus you have full freedom to have everything how you want it. It's very hard & challenging at times but very rewarding to create.
when something breaks on the road or you install some new item while traveling, your confidence will be strong following these trials and tribulations.best of luck K & N.
lol literally it was Nate who called his dad, i think thats how most people would react if they needed help to fix something and they knew their parent could help!
For the window coverings, 2 ideas come to mind. Attaching magnets to the bottom to either stick them to the walls or to add weights to the bottom of the curtain
I feel like that nice little skip in the middle of the headliner install skipped someone showing up who knows a lot more, which allowed Nate to fix all the problems he had made while he was trying to install it initially.
I love you guys so much! I got my passport this year to study abroad and then covid happened. But I am planning on traveling when I can because watching you has inspired me to leave the states and see the world! Good luck on your US adventure!
Having good storage bins/containers is super useful! Be careful with glass/normal dishes as they can break in transit. My parents use melamine/metal/plastic/similar in their RV. Cleaning glass is a pain and can really hurt! If you use anything breakable, make sure to pack it carefully and protect it before travel.
It's always the case isn't it, you see way more of other countries than your own! We keep tossing up the idea of buying a van but then realise that the vans we could get are all falling apart 😂 Hopefully we'll be able to do it one day! Another great video guys, keen to see your new adventures!
LOL, I had to laugh when Kara was opening all the Amazon packages. That's literally me right now! I've been ordering SO MUCH - both for myself, and work - that I forget what I ordered, and opening up the packages as they arrive is like a fun little mystery. 😂😂
When Kara said “I’m really good at buying things on amazon,” I felt that.
😹😹
Same! I've bought everything from body wash to car parts on Amazon. Every time my husband thinks he has found something to stump me with I'm like, "got it and it will be here in two days!" When the pandemic first started, and I couldn't sleep, I would window shop on Amazon. My "save for later" list is astounding! Lol
Same 😂
meee tooo lol
You guys should get a poster or merch saying “how hard could it be”
I know right😂
That's probably my fav merch idea ever!
I would buy a t-shirt with that saying and a K& N van life edition logo in a guy's X L. ( Just sayin', in case)
@@KaraandNate -"less is more - probably because I'm lazy" love that one
Kara and Nate thanks so much love your vids
We normally get the bloopers at the end of the video, this vid is one big bloop! :-)
Having traveled around in an older motorhome I can tell you that a knowledge of how your systems work is extremely important when you break down in the middle of nowhere. One of the things you need to have in your van is a set of tools and fasteners. You may need screws, washers, nails, bolts as well as electrical tape, duct tape, screwdrivers, wrenches and a hammer.
I was thinking the same thing and put a similar comment but yours was more detailed and accurate lol
Absolutely
And zip ties. Never underestimate a zip tie.
Where would we be without Dad’s to help us with handyman things? This made me miss my Dad terribly.
Me too
Yep, me too, and my Mama
Me too😢
RichyReacts Dude, look at what the comments and replies are about before posting your crap. Promoting your channel when people talk about their Dads, who have passed? Really?
Aww I never had a dad, never met him nor my late mom ever talked about him.. have a blessed day everyone
“My theory is Less is more because I’m lazy” most relatable thing I’ve ever heard
If a husband says "Don't worry. I have this under control", start forming an escape plan.
Lol
And she won’t do crap, other than to complain....but if he does it ‘right’, she’ll claim WE did it together! Lol, so obvious how women take accountability
Ernest T. Bass who hurt you 😂😂😒
Lol
So true
Congrats on the van it looks like a good one. You will love life on the road, it’s so liberating.
After bouncing around this continent for 5 years we upgraded to a more internationally capable vehicle,, then the virus hit.
We’re at our home base in Alaska for the time being. Hope our paths cross on the road.
Hey Nate, Thanks for FaceTiming my dad we had a nice conversation about TH-cam videos.
Nate “I didn’t know I was buying a constant project”... Snort and laugh from anyone who has EVER owned a motor home, trailer, or camper van 🤣
Oh yea, I can sign that one! 😁
Or a motorcycle
Truth!!!
or a boat!
Those who own and live aboard boats probably spit out their coffee (as they were repairing a fuel leak and troubleshooting the water maker)
When quarantine happened, I couldn’t help but hope you’d get a van and tour the United States! I’m so glad you’re doing this. I’ll be along for the journey!
Nate playing handyman is so hilarious. 😂
😂hahaha
"I make sure everyone is hydrated!" Have you ever heard anything so sweet? Love Kara & Nate.
Your Channel has to be one of the most original ones! Not only showing the beautiful and easy sides, but also showing that there are struggles! This is what makes a REAL channel. Thank you for being honest and sharing everything. Greetings from Switzerland :)
Nate: attempting to use power tools and renovating
Kara: I shop and drink coffee ( a literal mood)
P.S. love the decorations
"How hard could it be?"
Famous last words.
Jokes aside, you guys are wonderful! Wishing you the best on your travels!
Lol been there before
Yes, change is hard but y’all will learn and grow together during the process. Keep the faith you got this! ❤️❤️
Looking forward to watching your travel adventures and van life. Such a great idea!!
I love how you adapted your channels concept after COVID-19 started (also these renovations videos are so fun to watch).
I can’t wait to see your new adventures! good luck& have fun!
Agreed!! I think they will have some great content for us seeing the good ol USA
It’s really great to see the “real” side of van life. Thanks for sharing your journey!

I just woke up where I live!!!

Whenever you start a project, never use the “E” word. Jinxes everything. It can be “straightforward” or “do-able” but never say “easy”! I speak from experience. 🙂
It's like working in customer service or when I worked in a homeless shelter. Never say the Q word (*quiet*)
I would be all kinds of lost for a process like this
I’d just be standing there spinning not knowing what to do 😂
You both are so wholesome and I can tell you’re trying to stay positive even though this project is difficult. I can’t wait to see the awesome adventures! It will be worth it in the end
@Natalie Wainwright no way....I'm unsubscribing
@Natalie Wainwright do they? where did you get that?
Natalie Wainwright I just checked and I don’t think they follow Trump anymore... but yeah, If they are still a Trump people, I’ll never click on a video of theirs again.
Everyone needs a kara
👍
Kara: I don’t really have any skills that would help them with the van. My best skill is probably shopping 🛒 on Amazon. LMAO 😂 LOL 😆
I can relate hahaha
Same!
Nate doesn’t seem to have the skills either but he is learning! You could learn too Kara!
It's still a valueble skill to have 😊
@@jeffpro8 yea buy Nate the items
I love how their lifestyle completely changed but nothing between them did. Adorable.
It was a super humble thing for Nate to allow this on the internet.
Ahh week one in the van looks like so much fun!! I’m so excited for the van life vlogs already!! 🥰
Have you been to the uk I live there
I feel Kara for being good at getting people water and food, playing good music, and a pro Amazon shopper. Hehe I love y’all
Like if you are the same
Sometimes it's just as essential a part of the process as the people actually working on stuff ;) xD :))

Lol she's so sweet and kind
When he said "Is there an on switch.." with that dangerous tool close to his face...😱😓😥😰
Well we can’t blame him, there’s always a learning curb with a new tool, we can also be glad that circular saws have safety measures in place
Right!!
Freaked me right out....my husband is extremely experienced with power tools and still managed to nearly cut his left leg off last weekend with a grinder........VERY scary and he has been very lucky, severed a muscle but didnt hit any major nerves or arteries and should be back on both feet in no time but it was a close run race, he was heading into his right leg when he managed to stop it.

Only true electricians would relate to this! I literally tried to slap the wire off his hand before he touched it 🤣🤣

For the table, you just need to make a detachable leg that you can put on the the wobbly side that doesn’t have any support. You can probably attach some brackets to the bottom to lock it in, and then remove the leg and store it/the table when you’re not using it.

Put hooks on the bottom of the window covers too so you have 4 corners to attach to maybe. That way it will sit flush against the window hopefully. Just an idea.

For the window coverings, 2 ideas come to mind. Attaching magnets to the bottom to either stick them to the walls or to add weights to the bottom of the curtain
By far one of your best videos yet. Considering ya'll are grounded. Nate, your parents are so sweet and helpful. Looking forward to the next video.😊
This video is honestly a mood very relatable 😂
I feel like that nice little skip in the middle of the headliner install skipped someone showing up who knows a lot more, which allowed Nate to fix all the problems he had made while he was trying to install it initially.
'Less is more...mostly because I'm lazy' 😂
I love you guys so much! I got my passport this year to study abroad and then covid happened. But I am planning on traveling when I can because watching you has inspired me to leave the states and see the world! Good luck on your US adventure!
Having good storage bins/containers is super useful! Be careful with glass/normal dishes as they can break in transit. My parents use melamine/metal/plastic/similar in their RV. Cleaning glass is a pain and can really hurt! If you use anything breakable, make sure to pack it carefully and protect it before travel.
It's always the case isn't it, you see way more of other countries than your own! We keep tossing up the idea of buying a van but then realise that the vans we could get are all falling apart 😂 Hopefully we'll be able to do it one day! Another great video guys, keen to see your new adventures!
LOL, I had to laugh when Kara was opening all the Amazon packages. That's literally me right now! I've been ordering SO MUCH - both for myself, and work - that I forget what I ordered, and opening up the packages as they arrive is like a fun little mystery. 😂😂
