I have just subscribed. We have a larger van, but I prefer my minivan for trips. I can’t off road on the forest roads, but I have been to some out of the way places by going slow and careful. The high top van we have is long and just parking it to me is a challenge. And when your on a road with heavy winds the high top is just not fun to drive. Overall these small vans are the best. I love my minivan. And I find that is very true. The more space you have the more stuff you carry. 🤣
I think we are all starting to realize more and more what is necessary to live a happy life, with less clutter!! You're living proof Dee, that it's all possible. You have one of the cutest and most organized vans out there and always coming up with theses super tips and tricks in how to stay organized. We appreciate it, and thank you always 🙏 ❤ 😊
Thank you! Hah…it’s not always the cleanest. But i have a couple of rugs outside that get the bulk of sand and dirt off before entering-and shoes off of dirty!🤗😝🐞
Missy, my amazon cart is getting full😁. I'm enjoying your videos, living van life through them and day dreaming that I will be there someday. Then I wake up to 4 kiddos and a husband🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and 1 is special needs that will always need me.
It's amazing how important and handy items like bungee cords, cable ties, duct tape, velcro help in keeping one's van (any vehicle really) organized . I rented a small storage unit to store things I don't presently need. When it' s time to travel I plan where I'm going, what I need and how to store them for travel. I love how well organized you are and it helps us to think of our own needs and how we can more easily access our possessions. Every couple of weeks I evaluate my situation and if necessary make changes to make my work flow easier. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas that make van life more pleasurable.
Exactly! Those are my go to’s! Good to know that I’m not the only one who goes to rough stuff to assess what is really necessary😜 I feel like I always find something too😂
Jimmy Buffett sang, in One Particular Harbor, "But now times are rough. And I've got too much stuff..." Don't we all. Thanks for another excellent video.
Beautiful. Women are so much more aware of how to tend to things. They have an innate ability to make a space a warm and cozy home. That same talent, ability, generalizes nicely to other areas of life. Genius. I bet if you were an amazing mother. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you Paul. I appreciate that. I think we all have aspects of our selves that we continually develop and explore. This is one of them for me. It’s an outlet for my creativity and life right now.☺️
You’ve done a great job with your van. It’s obvious that you have put a lot of thought into organization. I have a 20 foot travel trailer, and you have given me some good ideas about how to make things more assessable and to reevaluate what I need and don’t need. Thanks for sharing and happy camping. 😀
If your living in a van then organization is a big factor. I myself have way too much stuff but on the other hand there is a place for everything lol. Thank you for the quick tips and the video.
DEE! You have done it again! You have absolutely made your tiny van home into a spacious, well organized, inviting, COZY HOME!! For someone who has “little skills”, you have done such an amazing job. You never disappoint. Thank you for sharing your organization inspiration with us!! Safe travels!
Great organization tips Dee, thanks! I like what you did with the soft containers in you passenger area, I’m looking forward to hearing how your bungee system holds. Safe travels dear lady! 🤗
Always such great tips. I’m still trying to figure out how to minimize and I have much more space than you. 😚. I think if I was in my van more it would be easier but since I’m mostly in my sticks and bricks home it’s not as big a priority. I want to keep the van ready as a zombie apocalypse bug out rig in case I ever have to evacuate, so I’m still determining what’s essential and what’s not. I am considering getting a tiny van now because I’m constantly road tripping to get from A to B and not really smelling the roses but rather needing to get business done on each end. When my life settles down after moving I’ll have time to smell the roses and I can’t wait. Happy and safe travels always 🐞🚐👍🏼♥️
Thanks Maitilda. Yes, the more time you spend in it, the more things will make sense. I still sometimes have to fight the urge to ‘just get there’, so I think that’s pretty natural for all of us. I need that reminder too😜
😂 was just in the middle of organizing since I am at the WRTR and have only been on the road since April 6th. Amazing what I THOUGHT I would need and found nope! I was one of those solo women who had bought so much of what other’s recommended before getting on the road. Now when other newbies ask what is the best thing to buy, I say wait till you actually say to yourself, “I need to find a way to make Xyz happen and then buy it.
Love your organizing tops. I don't have a van yet. I do live in a Tiny House community , rent here ; so your tops help me lots here too. Plan to live TINY for the rest of my years on 🌎( in my 79th year now ) ; so whether it's VAN LIFE or Tiny House it'll be easy . Thanks so much.

Wow those were excellent storage tips and we love everything is also lightweight! My hubby asks are you a wheel of fortune fan because they have a Before and After category which your channel name suits (lady bug and bug out). Ha! Stay safe, have fun, and you’re still stunning! Thanks for sharing your kind heart and great tips with us! 💜🐞
I like the idea of stapling little zippered bags to the shelf for smaller items. If it comes time to move it somewhere else, it would be not very difficult to pull them out and restaple elsewhere. Neat! Thanks!
I love what you have done with your van, the bench seat turned out brilliant didn’t it, you have some ingenious ideas for storage so you can have all your “ things” with you in your van, being tidy is important in such a small space. Thanks for sharing this content, x
Smaller salad dressings/hot sauce/really any condiment means that you usually have fresher items in your kitchen too. My problem is waiting until I run out of something before buying a new one-then you've got 2 in the space. But I'm getting better. Thanks for all the tips!
I always enjoy videos that give ideas on how to make a small space livable. I am a little envious that you don’t have all the windows that I have in the minivan. 🤣 maybe when (if) things go back to the good old days I will trade the minivan for a transit. Enjoy your channel!
Thank you Mel! Glad you enjoy and that you find the ideas helpful. Yea, windows are nice for views, but a little hard to have when you don’t want people viewing you😜
Lmao I love it … u have organizers inside of organizers 👍🏽👍🏽. If I’m ever stranded for anything I hope ur close by … u have everything!! AND in the most perfect spots . Love ur videos love ur life . 💫nothing but mad respect for u 🙏🏼Thanks for sharing 💗
Have you tried GSI cookware, their cooking ladle, spatula etc are foldable and lightweight for backpacking, for spices y use plastic test tubes with caps, I mark them with permanent marker, they take little space but hold pretty good amount. I don’t have my van yet, this fall I will but lots of my camping gear will come handy. Great tips as usual.

Yes! I love that. It is really so much less stressful. I agree that emergency items should be kept even if not used-although a good idea to check and make sure it’s stocked up and everything works! 🐞🚗💃🏻
@@LadyBugout Hi back! I'm positive after that tornado night you went through all your emergency items are up to date and ready to go! A scary reminder to be ready just in case.

See--- just an example how you touch people's lives and are such a help in so many ways.

In your life it is so obvious you have been meant to serve many in this most blessed way. As always thank you for all you do...

I live in my house although I watch va or car life videos regularly. I am getting some ideas from you in terms of downsizing my house more. Minimalist is what I am trying to achieve. Thanks for the tips!
@@LadyBugout Hi Dee very well thankyou just a bit busy, still it's all slowing down now. I see your always looking for ways to improve lady bug, Shows you have good DIY skills and a very clever thinking hat on ihe he best wishes Ken xxx
New subscriber here, been following you for quite a while as a back grounder. Liking your content. As a female micro camper owner here in the Uk you give great tips and content is relaxed . So you won my subscription, thank you Dee. Xx
Great inspiration Dee! Finally organised the workshop. Thank you for the inspiration. Your van's "evolving" in such functional ways. Keep on "vanning" Dee 👍
Great ideas here. I call it the paradox of preparedness. We are self sufficient and traveling but can bury ourselves in so much gear that we start to lose track of stuff. That's actually worse than not having it! So yes, constantly reassessing. Plus gear changes depending on what you're doing, so like on a boat, something comes on board, something's got to go overboard! Also, liked your soft touch.😉 Soft fabric organizers are lightweight! Cabinetry looks all fancy but in a small van too much creates hard edges, takes a lot of space and adds lots of weight. You can do a lot with grommets, glue, fabric and Paracord. I use small cargo net bags in my boat and van. Versatile, cheap, washable, adaptable. Soft storage also adds insulation. Bonus! Nice creativity and functionality Ladybug. Thanks for sharing. Charles.
Thank you Charles! I agree. Hahahah I didn’t even think of the fabric adding insulation. They have been holding up well after 1300 miles. So, I’m happy with my choice!🐞🚗💃🏻
Thanks so much for this video. I struggle with keeping things organized or even knowing where to start... Your "1-2 moves" tip is very important as I realize that I won't do something if it feels like its more struggle than is worth. I'll be working on my van build hopefully soon and will be incorporating many of the invaluable tips you've pass along!!!
So glad it is useful information for you. Yes, I realized the same thing very quickly. Especially in a small van-it makes life less stressful and more enjoyable if the functional space is organized and clutter free☺️
I love the way you organize and decorate your van!! I have a Chrysler voyager minivan and am always looking for ways to make my space more organized. Great video!!
@@LadyBugout yes ma'am! I'm working my way to Van life with my 2003 Chevy Astro Overlander 4x4 conversion. THIS YEAR hope to meet up with Van TH-camrs somewhere! Hope to meet u all on the road sometime! :) I NEEDED THAT NOGGLE!! THX!! :)
Hey Ms. Dee, very well organised and thought out. Those little mini-bungee cords are really handy, I use 'em on cords, hoses and lots of other ways too.
Wow! Everything looks great! Your dashboard organizer is so clever to keep your walk-through space so tidy! Saving this video with so many great ideas. Thanks! Safe travels Dee
Yes, I saved it, too. I especially love the little cloth bags that are attached? to the shelf. They zipper on top. Did you make them? I’ll be starting my van life before too long. So excited!
Yes it shows. Now you have a great body and beautiful face but unfortunately to this guy a sick mind 😂🤣 now that's kidding on the sick mind part as l'm a guy. I have a Weeroll 6x10 Nomad that l use as a one man camper. Yes l do work on it. But the organization efforts are never ending. Oh yes you are gorgeous. 🙂
Just love how you organise so many things, makes me think I don't need a big van at all.

Hello from Portugal.

So true.
Your videos are great. I really like all of the ideas, especially the miniature idea 💡
Thank you Kathy! 🚗🐞🚗
I live in my house although I watch va or car life videos regularly. I am getting some ideas from you in terms of downsizing my house more. Minimalist is what I am trying to achieve. Thanks for the tips!
That is great! Glad some of my ideas work for you ☺️🐞🚗
🌸 Thanks for the tips! Stay safe and have a Blast!!!
Thank you 😊 🚗🐞

Thank you Ken! Hope you are well🐞🚗❤️
@@LadyBugout Hi Dee very well thankyou just a bit busy, still it's all slowing down now. I see your always looking for ways to improve lady bug, Shows you have good DIY skills and a very clever thinking hat on ihe he best wishes Ken xxx
Hope some day you willl do a video about your wardrobe. How many items of each thing do you have. How often do you do laundry?
That’s a great idea!!!! I will figure out to do that. 🐞🚗💃🏻
This is so good! I need you!! I’m the worst organizer on the planet!!!!!
😂 one step at a time! Before you know it, it’ll get done🐞💃🏻🚗
It’s frustrating for sure (for me) becoming a minimalist is a change but def feels good
New subscriber here, been following you for quite a while as a back grounder. Liking your content. As a female micro camper owner here in the Uk you give great tips and content is relaxed . So you won my subscription, thank you Dee. Xx
Thank you Sue! I appreciate that so much. It is encouraging to me🐞🚗❤️

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the music ☺️
Very nice set up and good advise.
Glad it was helpful!
Another useful and well-planned out video. Thanks.
Thank you🐞🚗💃🏻
Great inspiration Dee! Finally organised the workshop. Thank you for the inspiration. Your van's "evolving" in such functional ways. Keep on "vanning" Dee 👍
Hello Maurice! Woohoo🎉 I have been having fun with the ‘evolving’! Keeps me busy😜
Great ideas here. I call it the paradox of preparedness. We are self sufficient and traveling but can bury ourselves in so much gear that we start to lose track of stuff. That's actually worse than not having it! So yes, constantly reassessing. Plus gear changes depending on what you're doing, so like on a boat, something comes on board, something's got to go overboard! Also, liked your soft touch.😉 Soft fabric organizers are lightweight! Cabinetry looks all fancy but in a small van too much creates hard edges, takes a lot of space and adds lots of weight. You can do a lot with grommets, glue, fabric and Paracord. I use small cargo net bags in my boat and van. Versatile, cheap, washable, adaptable. Soft storage also adds insulation. Bonus! Nice creativity and functionality Ladybug. Thanks for sharing. Charles.
Thank you Charles! I agree. Hahahah I didn’t even think of the fabric adding insulation. They have been holding up well after 1300 miles. So, I’m happy with my choice!🐞🚗💃🏻
Very helpful and I like the way you stapled the little zipper pouches to the wall. Great idea. It's the little things sometimes!
You caught that!!! That happened when I had the staple gun-I went a little crazy with it- but those pouches are working great!🐞🚗💃🏻
You have great organizational skills. You've learned alot, on your journey
Thank you Lorene! I learn something new every day🤗🐞🚗
Yes a mini john bucket, 2 1/2 gal. With kitty litter,and a hunters urinal. I got those items for the back of my 2008 ford ranger no build build.
Sounds like you have a great set up☺️
Good job, your setup is clever and looks really cosy.
Thank you. I enjoy the space 🐞🚗💃🏻
Good tips. I was just thinking about you. I'm toying with the idea of a Lagun table. But I might have to rethink my electrical placement.
Hey Linda! You know…I have too…could be interesting 🧐 😊
Dear lady bug out as usual enjoyed your video …hope u are doing well and stay safe!
Thank you Vicki! Glad you enjoyed. Hopes you are well!🐞🚗💃🏻
Thanks so much for this video. I struggle with keeping things organized or even knowing where to start... Your "1-2 moves" tip is very important as I realize that I won't do something if it feels like its more struggle than is worth. I'll be working on my van build hopefully soon and will be incorporating many of the invaluable tips you've pass along!!!
So glad it is useful information for you. Yes, I realized the same thing very quickly. Especially in a small van-it makes life less stressful and more enjoyable if the functional space is organized and clutter free☺️
I can't wait to start packing up. First I have to get over this Covid, not an easy feat.
Oh no… yes, get well🙏🏼
Loved your video.
Thank you for the great tips.
So clean and cozy.
Look forward to your next one.
Thank you Cat 🐞🚗💃🏻
I love the way you organize and decorate your van!! I have a Chrysler voyager minivan and am always looking for ways to make my space more organized. Great video!!
Thank you so much. Glad it helps🐞🚗❤️
Thank you! I have ideas on how I want to do my truck but don't have tools (female), and feel insecure. This video was helpful.
You can do it💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Love your set up so organized
Thank you 😊🐞🚗
I like your ingenuity !
Thank you Kris!
Thank you!!🙋♀️
Thank you Vicki 🤗💃🏻🐞🚗
Excellent! We think and organize alike!
That’s awesome! Glad you like ☺️
@@LadyBugout yes ma'am! I'm working my way to Van life with my 2003 Chevy Astro Overlander 4x4 conversion. THIS YEAR hope to meet up with Van TH-camrs somewhere! Hope to meet u all on the road sometime! :) I NEEDED THAT NOGGLE!! THX!! :)
Hey Ms. Dee, very well organised and thought out. Those little mini-bungee cords are really handy, I use 'em on cords, hoses and lots of other ways too.
Thank you Mark. They turned out to be quite handy😊🐞🚗
Thank you for sharing your well thought out solutions.
You are very welcome 🐞🚗☺️
you are amazing. How very talented you are! thanks.
Awww thank you. I appreciate that🐞🚗💃🏻
Hang storage from the dash might be a bad idea?
Air Bags? Make sure you can turn off the passenger side air bag.
Yep. That was already done when I took out the passenger seat!😎
That was really helpful thank you and lovely to see you again..
Thank you Karen! Glad it was helpful!🐞🚗💃🏻
Wow! Everything looks great! Your dashboard organizer is so clever to keep your walk-through space so tidy! Saving this video with so many great ideas. Thanks! Safe travels Dee
Thank you! Glad it is useful information. That encourages me🐞🚗💃🏻
Yes, I saved it, too. I especially love the little cloth bags that are attached? to the shelf. They zipper on top. Did you make them? I’ll be starting my van life before too long. So excited!
Hey gorgeous! I should hire you to organize my shop! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great video!
😂 sure… I’d love it! It’s fun for me😜🚗🐞
Yes it shows. Now you have a great body and beautiful face but unfortunately to this guy a sick mind 😂🤣 now that's kidding on the sick mind part as l'm a guy. I have a Weeroll 6x10 Nomad that l use as a one man camper. Yes l do work on it. But the organization efforts are never ending. Oh yes you are gorgeous. 🙂
awesome canvas closet organizer will have yo figure those ones out😊
They’re great!
