    It’s amazing how much you can cook with the bare minimum. I think it forces a person to be more creative. Thank you for sharing. I would also be interested in what art supplies you bring for a future video.

    You could prepare the garlic by cutting a lot of it into smaller pieces, putting it in a jar and covering it with oil. So everytime you cook you just have to put a spoon full of the mixture into your pan/pot. Saves time and keeps the garlic fresh for longer.

    Looking forward to the cookbook! Thanks for showing the details of how your kitchen it set up. That helps me to pare down what I actually need in the van. I know everything takes 3 times as long to do in the van than it does in a house, so I really admire how well you have it working!

    Hi again kids 😊, as per usual very informative video. I look forward to your recipes, curious if you ever come across pick your own veggies or herbs ? Like at little local farms, roadside type ? I figure you don’t do much BBQ-ing 😊 , since charcoal etc is expensive and bulky, but wood bbq can be really good too 😊. Also I do a lot of marinades, for extra flavor and just cook when you want. Can help meats last longer, Italian dressing is one of my favs. Seems you have a great process going with making your water last longer, and still get a good amount of daily drinking water. I know from living off grid, you learn how precious water is. I’m also curious about gas prices, since your going through so many states. I’m sure it fluctuates a lot state to state, I hope rover gets good mileage 🙏.. love your knife holders, duct tape is so useful 😊. Ever tried using dry ice ? It lasts a good long time, but can be hard to find at times. How often are you able to take a shower ? Truck stops help with that I’m sure, but not all have showers. Do you use biodegradable soaps ? Like dish detergent, or shampoo. I fell in love with Aveda, it’s not cheap. But it’s concentrated , so it last a long time. And biodegradable, I’m talking shampoo and body wash. It’s amazing how much you learn far as not having a lot of space, and your doing great at meal planning etc. But you have to splurge on eating out once in a while ? Claire gets a break from cooking 😊, I’m not surprised in Ca food cost a lot more. Why I’m going off grid, growing your own is so much better, cheaper and know no pesticides no other hands etc have touched your food. I hope your planning somewhere fun, and a great meal for your birthdays 😊. Oh, I also wonder if your getting stickers etc to show how many towns you’ve been to ? I love seeing on other travelers how many places they’ve been, I’m still very jealous of your traveling and seeing so much of our beautiful country 😊. Ok, I’ve babbled enough 😁. Stay safe, take care. Can’t wait to see where your going next 😯

      Hey Deborah! Wow you have lots of incredible ideas and thought! We have not ever tried wood or charcoal bbq or marinades, but we definitely want to!
      We used to use a biodegradable shampoo bar we ordered from an Australian brand which was Incredible!
      We actually recently treated ourselves to a nice dinner to celebrate 4 years together! 😁 not cooking or washing dishes was incredible!
      We have not collected any stickers as we traveled, but I guess our videos are our way of documenting where we have been.
      We’ll make sure to do something fun for our birthdays! 😁😂
      Thanks for following along with us. It’s so nice to hear your perspective and personal thoughts.
