#4 - Living in a van with a cat for 4 years. Vanlife and chill podcast.
In today's podcast I talk with Frank who has been living in a van for 4 years with his cat Sunny. we talk about why he chooses to live in a van, he shares the benefits of vanlife for him, and some stories from his life on the road.
"Nomad Builds Highly Functional Stealth Camper Conversion from a Ford E350 Work Van." Is currently my most viewed video and is closing in on 1 million Views! Tyler the star of that video suggested that we make a follow up video, in the original video he was still living part time in an apartment, but now he is full time in the most functional van I have ever seen. He is able to get away with Stealth Camping in the city where others could be harassed for van life, and live comfortably with his dog Casper. Our goal with this video is to answer the most common questions that we received on the first video. How does he shower in the van? what does he use the rain water collection system for? and also details some updates he has made to the van to make it more comfortable.
Hope you enjoy! and make sure to watch the original video if you haven't seen it!

John and Deanna decided that it was time to change their lives drastically, giving up stability and jobs they had had for years for an adventurous life that would make them happier. They started by buying a 2004 coach bus, and started to convert it using left over wood from their woodworking shop. They also ended up buying a salvaged class A motorhome that had been totaled for 2500$ and took the fridge, grey water and fresh water tanks, hot water heater, furnace, sink, storage units, and much more from it and put it in their DIY bus. They also traded their car for a mural by a local artist. When I shot this video with them they had been living on salt spring island, BC for 9 months in their tiny home, and now they are on the road traveling North America!

In this episode of Alternative dwellings we tour Jason's Van which he gutted completely after finding significant dry rot, he then rebuilt it using modern appliances like an induction cook top, a composting toilet, LED lighting and he even has a bathtub. Jason got into vanlife because he had had bad experiences with landlords and even an illegal price hike on a place he was renting. He saw vanlife a a solution to that problem by providing him with housing freedom while also lowering his work travel expenses and making travel easier.

In this episode of alternative dwellings Darshan and Alex take us on a tour of their island Homestead in Canada. Alex had been living off grid in a yurt for many years and grew a sub tropical garden, he moved that garden to the property we show here, but unfortunately last winter was surprisingly harsh and some of the plants he had for decades didn't fair so well. Still a testimony of what can be accomplished with care. they also show us their one room studio house and cliff edge deck and swing bed.
