Thank you for suggesting Grandpa Gus products. (They should sponsor you.) I use the one for spiders and spray it around windows (inside and outside) and my front and back door frames (inside and outside). It really works and it smells good too. So, thank you.
Great tips! I have one to add, use a small tarp or rug under your shower tent. The wind will destroy the bottom of the tent from rubbing against the rocky ground. I’m looking forward to getting my desert tan.
Thank you so much! This is to be my first year (last year due to rains we went to Padre Island instead). I'd remembered in one of your videos you mentioned a spray for rodents, but forgot what. Now will order the Grandpa Gus! Can't wait to get there in Jan. along with my aunt & my oldest daughter. Hope we get to see you and many other You Tube friends that have taught us about this life!
Good morning I’m sitting here having a cuppa coffee November 12. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos you explain things very very well. I really enjoy listening to you. Hopefully one day will catch up with each other out down the highway. Sit down and have some coffee but thank you for everything you do, be safe out there and take it easy later
Yea! 27K and counting, Amanda and Wynston🎉🎉🎉 Thanks Wynston for giving us some perspective on the size of those stakes. Good job. Great tips. Hugs to Wynston❤❤
I am concerned about being under the sun, honestly, I'm not really a sun person, the sun bothers my eyes and the heat bothers me just in general (yea, I know, really a bother in van life for me!) I'm going have to have some kind of cover for myself out there, otherwise I will just be in my van all the time, facing away from the sun! Thanks for these sugeestions.
I got my rug near there at the Trading post going to the West I think more across from McDonald's. 8'x10' under $20. Mouse repellent. I make my own, casting oil, peppermint, cinnamon and eucalyptus oil, rubbing alcohol. It dies work. I get quite a few bottles from these ingredients. Yes, but remember the wind. It tore up my new canopy even with my extra strength stakes and rope to tie down and lowering it to the ground.The wind on the desert is always higher than what they state on the weather. There is no wind breaks, rarely anyway, and it is about 5 mph higher. Thanks Amanda ! woukd recommend quality rope, extra poles and stakes, heavy duty clips, some good tarps but not heavy for wind breaks, walls, extra rain fly and heavy duty tarps to put under your rug to protect it and for a ground cover if you have a tent. Fast drying rug for your shower. I am getting a spot light this year to see the road better in the desert at night. Dollar solar lights to stick in the ground to mark where your camp turn is and I mark with them where to park. I also put them in each corner of my rug as well. If you have a tent, put some where guy line are on each side. You can remove the tops and put them in pretty containers for your sitting areas. Thanka for all you do! Oh, darn it, sure extinguisher and/or a fire rug and a window breaker. Luv ya, love your channel❣️ 🪢🔦🧯💺🔨🔧🪓🦴🐾🚙
Thank you for all these great suggestions! Now when you leave your spot to go into town, how do you know if someone won’t take it? Or is that OK and you just find another one? Or did you just leave your rug out if you have one?
What are the things called that hold up an awning? I tried to figure it out before and I couldn't. Yea, my diabetes isn't the only thing that affects my skin out here in AZ, I just found the best thing I've ever used on my feet, it's called Palmer's Shea Butter formula! Who knew? It's def something that has probably been around for a long time but this has worked miracles for my dry skin and even a skin condition that developed on my legs from poor blood circulation, thank God...my skin finally feels normal again!
Arizona has been and pretty much still is a recommended place for people with lung diseases, asthma, copd,historically....think Doc Holliday, Tuberculosis....wet lung diseases.
Question if your staying in your van and need to leave.what to do to get your spot back or do you have to find another spot to stay thank you for posting
Question for you - I know that LTVA rules say no grey water on the ground. Do people use shower tents? Also FYI - if you do not have a true toilet in your van/tralier/bus/etc, you are required to camp near a pit toilet at LTVA.
I'm not really sure all of the specific rules with that sort of thing because I don't stay at LTVAs. But I do see people using shower tents if I stop in to visit friends.

Wonderful! Safe travels!
@AdventuringWithAmanda thank you for taking time to reply. Have a great time there!
Don’t forget to bring a headlamp. Keeps your hands free to do whatever you need to do. And for safety bring a whistle too 👍🏼
Great things to add to the list! 😍😍

Thank you for the great info.

Hi, im in quartzite south. New this year
Thank you Amanda. Planning my first trip out there in Dec. Great info!
Great advice! Thank you!
Hi Amanda
They have plenty of stores in quartzite
Thank you for all these great suggestions! Now when you leave your spot to go into town, how do you know if someone won’t take it? Or is that OK and you just find another one? Or did you just leave your rug out if you have one?
I leave my camp setup. I just take my valuables, like solar panels.
What are the things called that hold up an awning? I tried to figure it out before and I couldn't.

Tarp or tent poles. ❤️
@@AdventuringWithAmanda Thanks!
What type of under vehicle strobe lights did you get?
Thank you in advance.

Question if your staying in your van and need to leave.what to do to get your spot back or do you have to find another spot to stay thank you for posting
Have you tried peppermint oil for mice
That's what Grandpa Gus is - peppermint oil with a few other ingredients.
How long can you stay there before going into town?
Well I go into town frequently because I enjoy it, so I may be the wrong person to ask. I go into town every other day or every 2 days.
Okay thanks.
Can you link your blinking lights for under van please?
Hello new sub here! I primarily do movie reviews but I also did some Van Life vids! I was not full time
👍
New subscriber here. Thanks for your Quartzite videos. I'm checking out Roadrunner BLM based on your playlist. Thanks!
