Nice one guys and some real truths there! Hope all is good. We feel cheats with our van parked outside our winter cottage! However van life is all about compromise and grabbing the moment. PS ours is 6.4 metres long with bunk beds. Take care Dave and Jo plus Tam the bam
Thanks guys 🙌. Hey it’s all how you want to do it and not how others are doing. We defo fell into a trap and a hangover from doing trips in our old van of speeding around all the time 🤪. Love the sounds of your winter cottage 😍. We are very good, loving the New Forest at the moment. Can’t get enough of the nature and outdoors 😍. Hope you guys are all good to and have had an awesome weekend 🤙
Just got back from India and have really really missed the posts from you guys! Just been catching up now! I personally am not on social media as you already know lol, but you guys are so engaging, so real, so genuine - we have promoted you all over South Goa! For those of you who haven't yet purchased their scottish map - my goodness - buy it now! We have bought it for ourselves but are now buying it for friends as xmas presents - it is BRILLIANT and only £12.99 for LIFE such good value!!! I am very cautious online but these guys are the real deal. Don't buy a Boots 2for1 gift this year as we always do - buy your camping friend/family member THIS and they will love you forever. We are real people not AI lol, so any queries please ask us but you cannot go wrong with Trist and Kez, they will see you right! x
Hey Andrea, great to hear from you. How was India? Thank you as always for your super positive comments on us and our videos. It really means a lot to us 🤗. Thanks for the promotion in South Goa. We’ve just hit 3000 subscribers so maybe a few from there? 😎 We are promoting the map in this weeks video. We’re so happy you love it and you’re right it’s an ideal gift for Christmas for anyone wanting to head to Scotland 🏴 Have an awesome evening and speak soon 🤙
@shaunwizard the good old day 🤗. Far simpler times. Had to know where you were going, using maps and booking in on the phone. It’s been a long time since I’ve used a map to get somewhere on the road 🤙
@shaunwizard I still remember taking a roll of change and having my BT phone card to make calls if I needed to. The last time I used a phone box in an emergency a few years ago . It just swallowed all my change and didn’t work 🤣. Really wasn’t ideal at the time. TBH I was surprised I could find one
Wise words guys,easy to fall in to the trap of overthinking every next move rather than enjoying the moment but looks like you’ve got the balance right 👌
Thanks Pete, we’ve defo needed to slow it all down. With shorter days upon us we’ve found ourselves on the move too much and not being able to switch off. So back to slow travel for a bit for us. Definitely about finding the right balance for yourself 🤙
Fantastic vlog with so many nuggets of worthwhile information from your experiences...especially about being 'present' in the moment. If you moved on to a bigger van, would you be going for something much bigger for your needs & wants...& a motorhome or campervan? Your thoughts on this in a future video would be a great watch. Oh...if something much bigger, do you think it'll be easy enough to find overnight spots? We're thinking this way & we hope so.
We can definitely answer this in a vlog. It’s something we’ve spoken about at length. It all really depends on what you want from a van and what you want in the van I think. The bigger it is definitely can, but not always make it tricker to park up places. Even going to certain supermarket can be harder with a bigger van. But we’ll have a think of how we can chat about this in a vlog for you 🤗
Will have a look thank you 🙌. Definitely Wellies are on the cards. We took a very muddy and wet walk yesterday and got away lightly. But at some point my feet are going to get soaked 🤣😂. It’s only a matter of time
I just think tattoos are popular. Most people I know have tattoos now. I’d say 9 out of 10 of my friends have them. As time goes on I become more unique by not having them. Plus I hate needles 🤣😂
@@TristandKez I'm with you, I don't have either...yet yes they seems popular, especially amongst campers. I personally don't have because I don't like them & some (older guys) I know that have them, wish they hadn't. Each to their own though 😀
Oooh with Xmas coming the challenge surely has to be a Christmas cake made in the van? Or maybe a Yule log if you don’t like Xmas cake! Love;y catchup again guys, take it steady with all the water about. Emma 😊
Love the suggestion Emma 🙌. I have relayed this to Chef 👩🍳 Kez and I think it’ll be a Yule log in the van 🤗. We did a 3 hour walk yesterday and rivers were taking over footpaths. It was quite crazy and a bit of an obstacle course. Wellies are being purchased asap 🙌
@@TristandKez Multiple utube vids, there are some that come with tanks, but the logistics if having a tank inside of the vehicle? Diesel stinks. There are expensive european made petrol burners, i don't kno if there are cheaper models our there.
It’s turning on again but haven’t tested it for a long period of time. I suspect it was the super cold weather we had. We were in some very cold exposed park ups that week. Not great timing 🤣.
Having an old van, do you guys worry about your van starting or breaking down? We bought a thirty year old van but are worried about reliability of the old boy 😕
The only times we worry about her starting is when we have had insane rain. Like you been sat in a car wash. Then she’s a bit temperamental. But we thinks it’s because it’s not a modern engine and a bit of wet gets in. After a bit of time she starts fine. She’s also fine in normal rain. We replaced the spark plugs and distributor cap as that haves us a bit of jip. On the whole she’s great. We have AA breakdown cover with parts and garage cover for a little extra peace of mind. TBH no vehicle is perfect and we’ve had our far share of issues with more modern vans and cars 🤣

Great vlog and fabulous awning....all that extra space 👍😊
Thank you 🙏 🤗. It’s definitely been awesome to have some more space. Keep saying we’ll start some Yoga in the awning. Starting is always the hurdle 🤣😂

Cheers Shaun😎🤙, we just say it how it is for us🤣. Hope it can help anyone looking to try vanlife themselves. Hope you’ve had an awesome weekend mate 🙌
@TristandKez we did it with a car & caravan many moons ago, before t'internet & satnavs 🤪👍
@shaunwizard the good old day 🤗. Far simpler times. Had to know where you were going, using maps and booking in on the phone. It’s been a long time since I’ve used a map to get somewhere on the road 🤙
@@TristandKez a lot more phone boxes then, no mobile phones back then 👍

Brilliant vlog and a fantastic Newsletter. Thank you ❤

@ Definitely the way forward otherwise by the time you’ve eaten your lunch you’re already fretting about where to park that night.
Haha that’s exactly how it’s been getting 🤣🙈

Lovely vlog, darlings 👍💝
Thank you very much guys 🤗🙌🤙
@@TristandKez Our pleasure. This vlog sparkled. Well done. 🥰
@HappyAdventuresForever thank you 🤗 and what a lovely message for us to start our Monday off with. Have a great day guys 🤙
@ you too 👍
Mini portable heaters from Jml I think, they are very effective. Worth considering.
Great idea 🙌😍
Hi just found you guys lovin your work
Thanks Stephen really appreciate the positivity 🤙🤗
Mucker boots would be great as you could store them easy and keep your feet warm.
Will have a look thank you 🙌. Definitely Wellies are on the cards. We took a very muddy and wet walk yesterday and got away lightly. But at some point my feet are going to get soaked 🤣😂. It’s only a matter of time
Great Video guys as always..
Haha your love this i was watching another TH-cam vanlife channel an through their window drives past is Old Gurtie 😮 😂
*Gertie🤦🏼♀️
Thank you 🙏 🙌 means a lot 🤗
I think that might have been Carol and Ken’s video. Great TH-cam channel 😎
🤗
@@TristandKez yes it was i emailed a pic of it lol, yes love watching them too so relaxing
@sangel_adventures awesome thank you 🙏 🤗
Is it true you guys have no arm tattoos? If so you guys are totally unique, you must be the only van lifers without.
I applaud you 😊
I don’t but Kez does, I’m even more unique now 🤣🤗
@TristandKez
Definitely unique, every other van life vlogger has them. It makes me wonder what the connection is 'campers/vloggers'
Any ideas?
I just think tattoos are popular. Most people I know have tattoos now. I’d say 9 out of 10 of my friends have them. As time goes on I become more unique by not having them. Plus I hate needles 🤣😂
@@TristandKez
I'm with you, I don't have either...yet yes they seems popular, especially amongst campers.

Love the suggestion Emma 🙌. I have relayed this to Chef 👩🍳 Kez and I think it’ll be a Yule log in the van 🤗.
We did a 3 hour walk yesterday and rivers were taking over footpaths. It was quite crazy and a bit of an obstacle course. Wellies are being purchased asap 🙌
@ vanlife essentials .. wellies 😂
I have resisted them for too long 😂. But they will help wading through river/paths 🤣
I think you should get a diesel heater fitted ❤
Probably not the worst idea 🤗🙌
@@TristandKez
Dirt cheap Chinese versions have good reports, if u are diesel of course, i don't know.
We aren’t diesel. Can you get a little tank attached to it for the diesel?
@@TristandKez
Multiple utube vids, there are some that come with tanks, but the logistics if having a tank inside of the vehicle? Diesel stinks.
There are expensive european made petrol burners, i don't kno if there are cheaper models our there.
@QB2ERS we may have to do some research on this. But at the rate I make decisions it’ll be summer again 🤣😂
Have you thought of putting a shower curtain in the toilet ,so still have some privacy?
Great idea, may have a look at that. Had a net curtain but it got a little dirty over time 😬
Did you get the heater fixed?
It’s turning on again but haven’t tested it for a long period of time. I suspect it was the super cold weather we had. We were in some very cold exposed park ups that week. Not great timing 🤣.
Kez with a bit of a Klapping tick 😂
😂🤣don’t even know what this means lol
@TristandKez 👏👏👏

@ ours can be be quite Smokey from the exhaust, how is yours?
@jorose6093 yeah same if it hasn’t run for a bit. No idea what that is 🤣. But goes pretty quick. I’m sure someone may see this comment and chime in 🤗.
@@TristandKezlove from ol Stan the van ♥️
