Those hand warmers are no joke.
Those kept us alive we lived in a trailer and the heat went out
They also have hand warmers that you can charge like a phone.
Jus Sayin'
@@KingsdaleNorthYes, I got one while staying at my brothers because he likes to keep his home arctic cold. The electric mittens and socks were so nice to wear.
A hot water bottle saved my life in winter in South Africa. Highly underrated!
Maybe a dumb question but, where do you put it? Just stick it in your sleeping bag, like by your feet?
@@SoulKisses76 yea.
You can also burn wood to heat rocks outside. Then place those rocks in the van to warm up the space.
@@SoulKisses76in my regular home, I put my hot water bottle under my sheet about a half hour before I'm going to bed. When I get in there is a nice comfortable warm spot. It is a very cheap comfort. *use a barrier between your skin and the bottle if you choose to sleep with it
Wow! I didn't know South Africa had Winters ☃️❤
@@shar6310 Yes! Johannesburg is higher in elevation than Denver (5751 vs 5280 above sea level) and had light snows when I lived there. The places I stayed didn't have central heat - just space heaters. I would legit walk around with a hot water bottle tucked into my pants. 😂
I love how minimal your van is. I would have doodads and thing-a-ma-bobs everywhere. It’s so crisp. Practical and efficient 🙌🏼
This seems way easier to live in than most of the "aesthetically pleasing" vans
I tend to collect clutter too, without even realizing it-till one day I come in and see what a mess I've created!
thing-a-ma-Bob's, cute!! Instead of thing-a-ma-jigs, ok!!!, lol", "take care!!!
Facts 💯
@@cynthianesbitt6197 there's different levels to the thingama- things. Lol. Some are bobs. Some are jigs.. Some are things. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live in the Midwest🥶💨so I know cold ❄️ weather. One great simple trick is to purchase a good quality stocking cap to wear at night keeps the heat in your body from escaping, really helps a lot
I hear you. I’m in New England in Massachusetts. Def gets chilly here during wintertime!
I read somewhere the theory about heat escaping from your head had been debunked as an Old Wives Tale, but when i lived in a dark, damp basement flat and our heating was controlled all year round by a stingy landlord, i am certain sleeping in a hat or a hood up was A LOT WARMER when needed !
🙌🏻 I love your videos! I am saying a prayer for your safety this winter, and that you stay nice and warm at night! 🙏🏻
❤❤
🤗😘😘😘💝🌞🕊️
What an ingenious place you made inside your van.Respect and well done!Stay safe and warm.
WOW YOUR SO SO SMART SWEET HEART 💗❤️💗 BLESS YOUR HEART 💞💞💞
Thank you for this tip on the Coleman sleeping bag, Coleman is the ultimate in glamping supplies!
God bless your ingenuity!! Be well always and always know you got people rooting for you
Can I suggest that you have the zip of your sleeping bag NOT opening to the wall? I found you stay warmer if zip, is facing to the inside of the van.
Put a strip of window foam insulation along the edge of the bathroom sliding doors? (To stop draught/cold)
And layer up with throws over your sleeping bag.
Stay warm x x x
Thank you- was looking for this obvious fail to be mentioned b6 someone.
That’s great advice! ❤
I spent three years with the Army in Alaska. We were issued sleeping bags that were DEFINITELY not for backpackers. They were huge! But that's because they were so thick and warm. I brought one with me when I left the Arctic and I still have it. I want to do spend a winter in an RV so I can use it again.
Hey there. I was station at fort drum, and we were issued some of the gear they give to the soldiers in Alaska as test gear. I have the extreme weather puffy suit and all! This was when the army switched it's uniforms late 2005, so quite so time ago. Glad you got that gear for sure
If you haven’t done it already. Cover any exposed pipes underneath your van. Any water lines. To prevent them from freezing
She got them winterized!
What does this even mean
@@thomaspayne6866 to protect your pipes from freezing in the winter.
@@stronggiftfromgod oh nice
@@stronggiftfromgod how will wrapping a pipe prevent it from getting cold? I can understand wrapping a hot water pipe to slow down heat loss, but wrapping a cold water pipe makes no sense.
Peace. A grandmother's quality quilt with the white batting under is also a game changer, it blocks cold.
Wool batting for warmth.
I hear some good information about the old army Wool blankets keeping people warm in RV campers.
The Poncho Liners are warmer
The military still uses wool blankets do to being flame resistant and keeps it's warming benefits even when wet. A plus is it is natural. Giving income to sheep farmers 🤠
You got it! I started with my dad’s (WWII). Being a Vet, now I use my own.
I adore my wool Army blanket.
They sure do!
I could have used that sleeping bag when I was growing up, my bedroom was so cold and ice would build up on the INSIDE of the window. I bundled up at night, even putting socks over my hands to keep warm and 2 pair on my feet! Brrrrrrr
Yes, Sleep bag are a plus keeps you warm. I love your van. Yes, Blackouts curtain are definitely great, because know can't see you. Love it and Your Videos. GOD BLESS YOU 🙌☺️💯❤️
A zero degree bag in your van should be plenty by itself. Also always followed my grandfather's advice to not wear socks, just a Tshirt and shorts. The socks may make your feet sweat and then your colder. Put the clothes that you will wear in the morning in the bottom of the bag and they will be nice and warm when you get up.
Cotton socks make your feet sweat, but fine wool socks do not. I can't sleep with cold feet. I knit all of my socks.
@@bonniec8429 I think they have greatly improved wool socks so you may be right. I would still probably not wear them, just hate sleeping in socks.
yup! got this same advice during boy scouts and Pathfinders. helps your body heat bounce off the sleeping bag and keep you warmer
It's all about the build of the van and an insulated body shell.
All of the industrial strength battery power and spark plugs you can get, backup solar, and an industrial strength alternator. For cold temps that is.
Warm climates all you need is that backup solar and a mobile AC system.
NICE!!!🤙💯💫
I stayed all winter in Canada in a C series RV and what was a game changer was a simple candle burning all night. Kept the humidity down, humidity being your biggest enemy in the cold. And since I was doing it in temps that went well below 0°c, I mean lol
Just use an unscented safety candle, in a safe container, in a foil plate.
Oh and a thin Merino wool tuque! The hood of the hoodie just pulls and doesn't protect the front of your head.
What is a tuque?
@@LadyBirch a beanie, Canadian style 😂
Good afternoon Nomadic Introvert You Nailed it Great Job love your stay warm and safe gear 🙌🏽💙🙏🏽💙
I lived in snow country. I used a snow suit for pj's. Knit hat and electric blanket. My old service dog had a thick coat of hair so i never turned the heat on. He's passed now and i moved to town. Miss my RV but i miss my dog more than words can say.
Despite having insulation, hardwood floor, wool padding and vinyl flooring on the floor of our trailer we still felt a lot of cold coming from the floor. The thing that finally really helped was a RUBBER BACKED throw rug (like an entry way rug). It made a dramatic difference and it can be washed .
Those hand warmers are great also. I place one or two on my chest and it really helps.
Make a cover for the water bottle ,this does 2 things .Stops you getting burned if the bottle breaks/leaks also gradually lets heat out over a longer time . Put a oversized fleece over your sleeping bag .or even make a bag with the fleece to put sleeping bag in ,easy to make and dirt cheap to boot.
If I don’t turn on my propane heat or run out I do the sleeping bag and make sure I stop drinking water mid afternoon or earlier because having to get up to tinkle when it’s cold is just dreadful

Sleeping bag looks so warm I'm glad ur gonna be warm
Have you ever tried sleeping in your sleeping bag in just underwear or shorts and a singlet? If not, you should try it. Put your clothes you want to put on in the morning when you wake up at the feet of your sleeping bag as well. Idk why but when I camped 2 weeks in snow in NZ for survival training, we were told to do this and it worked like a charm. We were also sleeping in little tents and I was warm af, woke up and put on warm clothes. Everyone who didn't listen to our flight sergeant pretty much froze every morning 😂
Feet of your sleeping bag on the inside of your sleeping bag just incase that part wasn't clear 😅
I sleep on a wool blanket, really warm & use it in summer too. Not hot, it actually let's air circulate..
You have a nice van.
I watch this channel called the outdoor boys and he uses the same things when he winter camps. You are doing great and I wish you all the best.
ive been binge watching your videos lately and i absolutely do enjoy your vlogs and your personality is awesome!!! Love your vibe and energy
A sleeping bag is the best. They keep you nice and toasty.😊
Well thought out plan. Good job and also educating others. 👍
Not going to lie, I'm jealous of your van. I live fulltime in a 2006 chevrolet express cargo van, but without my van I would be homeless on the streets. I'm grateful for it.
I sleep with a thermarest camping mat and use a similar sleeping bag in the winter because it gets REALLY cold in Michigan! 🥶
Don’t mean to nosy be nosy, but the two questions I have are do you have to keep moving your van every day or so to find a place to park and how do you go to the bathroom?
How the heck do you survive the winters?
That is well thought out and terrific! Great to know of all that. It certainly gets cold in that area, I'm sure. Have a blessed day.
Suggestions: Try wool socks, hats and gloves. Army wool blanket underneath the sleeping bag. Try seeking out a wool blend all over pajamas. This way when u get out of bed and the van is cold your body want be in shock from the cold til the van can heat up. Good luck young lady and may God continue to bless you.
We use a wabasto cab heater (inline heater) extra battery & diesel fuel. Uses about a cup of fuel… also have an engine heater that circulates the antifreeze. + heavy window coverings. I see you sleep in a super single spot, we would curtain that area so the heat remains around us, our truck has a front grill cover, but suggest cardboard attached with zip ties or twist ties. You need 4 ties each corner.. really helps keep the engine warm. Our sleeping bag is an extra large big timber -35 sleeping bag that has a flannel layer that you can remove to wash. XL means we wrap our feet. Our mattress is 8 inch foam with reflective furnace pipe wrap which is thicker than Rv wrap.. also wear a cap that has side flaps that cover the ears & tie under the chin..
Honestly the cold is one of the biggest upsides to van life for me, and why I continue to consider it despite my anxieties about the bathroom situation. I LOVE sleeping and existing in the cold, I'd wear layers at all times if the weather permitted it.
I love your little bedroom on wheels. So snug & cozy! Sweet dreams, adventurous queen!
Apartment dweller but like you, I wear a bunch of warm jammie items, and those chemical hand warmers are a miracle for cold feet. Last year, my electric blanket malfunctioned and caught fire, giving me a 3rd degree burn on my leg that took 7 months to heal. Ever since then I've been gun-shy about getting a new one, and that's why I tested the hand/body warmers. Glad to have the option.
❤AS a country girl raised in Northern NM I so admire you . We were on the Jacarilla Rez which is on the border of the Rocky Mountains . 3 ft. Of snow ❄ through out the winter. I was the one of 7 children who couldn't bare the cold. So long story short. "I get You"!
I love that sweetest voice! Bout to binge your latest videos & catch up!
I love how you said "that's what l do" 💚
Wherever you go .. stay focused and safe with your surroundings.. Take nothing for granted in this cold world. Be watchful and protective. Keep phone numbers for planning ahead. I live homeless since 01/06/2003; how time flies.
I loved using an electric throw to help me stay in 28 degrees in my class B. It worked the best for me. Enjoy and stay warm. Happy Travels!!!
I have 600 W of solar panels with four RV lithium batteries. The electric blanket worked all night
Could always put an extender pole across the top of the double doors and put up a thick long curtain, will help keep the cold air to that area.
Use a mov in ng blanket or one of those thermal heat shield sheets that runner use. Will completely block out the cold.
Hanging a shower rod will cost about $20. Shower hooks $1.25 from the dollar store. A package of super easy to apply, shower rod adhesive stick on's are about $9 for a package of three and holds up to 3Olbs.
You actually stay warmer naked in a sleeping bag because sleep clothes allows your body heat out but insulates the heat the sleeping bag stores away from your body. No sleep clothes allows heat from the bag to stay near your skin keeping you warmer.
I figured that out sleeping in non heated tents in the dead of winter. Also, always open your bag so it can air out/dry as any perspiration or condensation trapped in the bag will make you colder the next night.
You’re my hero. My absolute hero! Boss of all bosses. Thank you for sharing your interesting life. ❤️
Stay Blessed and Warm! 💛 I enjoy watching your videos!
Glad you are staying warm!!
Covering the door & windows with one of those thick fleece blankets might help keep the inside warmer on the snowy days.
Wool… awesome insulation
It hovered around 7° yesterday. I found myself wearing a coat inside (not when sleeping). Electric bills are already out of this world. I love your sleeping bag. It looks so cozy. Be safe.
Awesome. Just love your van life vids. I will be starting my vanlife next year.
I'm looking for a rig now. All the advise people share is wonderful.
Try a bungee cord to hang up your blackout curtains. It will give you the tension you need without it falling down.
Good morning Ms lady, ty for the cheap ideas on staying warm 🤪
I would hang a blanket or a thick curtain over the sliding doors. that's extra installation for sure.
Put a extra blanket over your sliding doors leading to the back- you can get eyelets on both sides of the doors and run a close line rope thru that short area to hang anything that can block air. - plus there are battery operated heaters on the market that can be solar charged and safe for your van ! I’m a old Michigan Gypsy and lived in a 1 ton dodge Van with a dog for 5 Years all 4 seasons . Now I’m waiting on the hand of God in a nursing home , unable to walk but lucky I’m still breathing air ! ❤ it’s a fun lifestyle and I dare anyone to try it ! Pay rent or pay gasoline ? It’s a no brained
Keeping warm is the Key…….also try Flannel Sheets those hold Heat very well……👍
Fleece sheets are even warmer
Quilt batting purchased at Walmart is also a huge insulated. Can easily cut to size. Can put in the windows or later under the sleeping bag.
Yes, inside the sleeping bag.
Ooh! Looks comfy! Great idea family 😀
you are so right. those sleeping bags are the best! I haven't tried the hot water bottle or the hand warmers yet, but just socks and nice thick jammies have been enough
I lived in a mini van for 8yrs.
I wore many layers. 3-4 turtlenecks
When it got cold. A beanie. And a
Sleeping bag
Your sleeping bag is designed to conduct and radiate your own body heat. If your putting all the clothes on before you get in it, it's not keeping you as warm as it could if you were in shorts and a t shirt or nothing at all
I was under the impression that removing layers is only advised if you’ve been sweating, out in the damp, or your layers are otherwise wet.
Otherwise things like hats and wool socks, thermal layers, and flannel is awesome because you want to create warm air pockets to be insulated inside?
Your van has such a cool vibe💕 Thanks for sharing
You are so positive 😊 love your independent spirit .You have a wonderful voice for this post!
Love this! If you're going into Northwest states, you may want yo get a -20° sleeping bag as well. Love this channel. Glad i found it.
Thinks 33° is cold. 🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from Steamboat Springs, - 5° when I woke up this morning! 🏂🎿🏔️⛷️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
🍪
Vermonter here. -17 with wind chill of up to -40 is typical in February. 30's feels like bikini weather at that point, lol!
@@awordindueseason We get the same as you at some point during the winter, with one huge difference..... MUCH less humidity. I can't imagine -40 with high humidity! I feel for ya! 🥶 Hope you're warm and safe. 💖
Sounds like you sleep 😴 💤 very comfortably. Way to go!
I have two sleeping bags that are good for -35 and a liner that you can put in them that drop them down to n-45f and have slept in -60 out here in Alaska and you can zip the two bags together and they make a really big bag and never need hand wormers
A comprehensive collection! Different possible combinations to stay warm.
Awesome~~~pretty colors too~~looks like warmth will b u
Im happy you was warm.
What I like about your videos is, that you are very real. You are not trying to glamorize. The introvert in you name was also a reason I started watching. I saw one person commenting about you being an introvert and she praised you for talking to someone. That comment was a bit ignorant, introversion is not something to try to change. Introverts usually think before they talk, and extroverts can sometimes be very obtuse in their rush to dominate every situation.
You don’t wipe before you potty! Extroverts need to try to listen sometimes. Ok end of rant. I appreciate you, stay safe and live your dreams.
While living in my van I covered the entire windows with insulated blankets and a rug on the floor. A below zero sleeping bag is a must. Stay warm.
USB Rechargeable hand warmers on Amazon, one near my feet, one close to the torso. You should get a couple of those!
Get you a Buddy Heater to stay warm. Also.
I suggest you get a roll of silver mylar bubble wrap. You could put it under your white blanket or sleeping bag to reflect your body heat back to you. You can cut it to fit the window area for insulation. Stay cozy.
Zero degree Rectangle sleeping bag with hood is a must have for wide shoulder, mummy is great for folks that isn't wide shouldered.
Nice short! You are going places!!
Thanks!
U are welcome
If you can get a blanket from Ikea called feather deca it does keep you warm. And I'm always cold so it does me good. Also, if anyone is in a trailer and is in a trailer park put hay bales around your camper you can get some from IFA. Then whatever spaces you have that are left from the hay bales you can use swimming noodles for insulation and it does good
You're a true inspiration always stay humble.
Prayers to you...please be careful...please. You are alone out there, and there are a lot of strange people out there who would hurt you and take advantage of you. Have a bat or a stick beside you at all times. And call your family daily. I mean it too!

I carry a camping knife and bear spray in my vehicle.
Just incase you didn’t believed her, she was warm all night. Did I mention she said she was warm all night?
I need this life 😩
Blessings 💞 around all in van life !!!
Last year I found a Colman -30 sleeping bag and I to put a heavy fleece blanket on the inside and have a 2nd blanket that goes over top, and also good sheep skin sock (for bed only) And last winter was in North Dakota and it was -43° at night and I was cozy warm!! So yes we do find ways to stay nice and warm!!
Please stay warm this winter 🙏
Great ideals....
I for one vouch for that Coleman sleeping bag definitely is no joke it will get you right lol😊
Almost 3 years living in my van in the Northeast. My secret to sleeping warm on cold winter months is to run the van hot while driving, then climb into bed with warm clothes. Most important is multiple blankets, that helps a lot.
What kind of van do you have???
@@VBYCHOICE Ford E350 extended van
Very nice 😊
Stay safe and warm. Iam being selfish. I want to see more of you💕🙏🏿
I just hope you are keeping safe out there! 🙏
I'm 63 and this type of life looks so amazing and fulfilling.
Get one of the rechargeable hand warmers. They double as a phone charger and flashlight. Great to have
Greetings from Washington DC Sis. You can hang a blanket or curtain of some type across those back doors in your bathroom to the "outside" to cut down on that draft also. It's a pain, but keeping your main area warm in the cold weather is worth it. It's like being in a house with good modern windows and a good seal around all doors to keep heat inside. Wishing you the best.
Yes! My sleeping bag is a good subzero Temps bag. I am living in a tent in Vermont winters and I am quite comfortable all night. I do use the hot hands down in the foot bag on super cold nights.
Down sleeping bags give you the ultimate level of warmth during the winter. Coleman has never kept me warm.
A trick I learned in the boy scouts in the 60s was to use a sheet on the inside of the sleeping bag. Prevents the inside from getting dirty, scuzzy.
Suggestions: unless you have double pane windows, tape 2 layers of bubble wrap on inside of windows for insulation.
12 volt electric blanket.
You can sleep in your underwear and a beanie with this setup.
Very cool - thankQ for sharing. You've inspired me. I've been caring for my 93 year old mother. Afterwards I plan to shop for a RV Van and take off on my own. I live in Florida. I'll be heading north to visit all of the northern states, which I've never seen to include Alaska. Be safe. I subscribed to follow your adventures. ❤❤
Sister get an electronic blanket and a solar generator also I put my electric blanket inside the -30 degrees sleeping bag. First thing I installed was floor insulation,my van came with acoustic insulation in my Sprinter.
I'm just starting out have watched yours and many others to motivate me to go full-time vanlife. Thanks
To keep us warm while camping in our tent, my dad got us "mummy bags". Sounded spooky as a kid, but they worked great!
I really look forward to watching you now I'm all over TH-cam looking at people camping and van life I've learned a lot
Good for you! Stay warm! That sleeping bag really looks comfy!🥰
Extra security tip
When you are in for the night, pull your seat belts AROUND the loop in your door handles in the front and buckle them up
Great idea!
