Vanstock | Alaska's First Van Life Gathering
Переглядів 3134 місяці тому
It's happening! Vanstock is back and better than ever. July 18-21st, 2025. When I shared my dream of Vanstock with Bob Wells, I was shocked what came next. Officially meeting Bob and being able to share the impact he has had on my life was such a gift. I almost didnt bring up Vanstock, as I was still deep in process of the previous 2020 cancelation and didn't have a clear vision of how to finan...

    I know you live in Alaska half the year. Do you have any advice for someone doing van life in heavy grizzly territory. Like food storage and bathroom. This year I will be working deep in the heart of Montana bear territory and I want to coexist among nature and stay safe. This area in particular has had multiple grizzly attacks with folks in tents, so I feel the threat is real. Any knowledge or ideas you could share is so much appreciated! 😁🙏

    • @LindraParadise
      @LindraParadise 5 місяців тому

      Yes! It all depends if you plan on leaving your vehicle for long periods of time. If you plan to keep your rig with you most of the time. Its fairly strait forward to honk the horn when they come by, start the engine or drive away (air horns are great, just angle it out the window if they start sniffin) Being in a vehicle is much safer than a tent. If your leaving your vehicle. Putting your food in a bear canister outside is the safest bet. But honeslty its something that you kind of have to find what works for you. Always locking your car helps as they can open unlocked doors. I keep my food in my van and havent ever had any issues. But I tend not to leave my van unattended for long stretches of time. I wish I had a bear proof secret, :( but its just something I have had to deal with.

      Thank you for taking the time to come to my channel :) I understand if you feel disappointed. Its hard for an interview to capture all sides of a person. I do have clean water and face cloths, they were just dirty at the time. Living in a van isnt always picture perfect. I choose to use my platforms to entertain and show the realistic side of whats its like to live this life. Wich sometimes its thinking your going to have a relaxing evening and then accidentally cementing a face mask to your face, and not having adequate facilities to take it off.

    Wow, I was just looking at all your various types of art work. You are amazingly talented! I, too, aspire to meet Bob some day. He inspires me, too. I'm still in a sticks and bricks with my husband but car camp as much as I can when it's at least in the mid 40 degrees F and up. Your age is right between the ages of my own two kids who have no desire for being a nomad. I did build out (the best I could by myself) a shuttle bus, but eventually sold it because it was an extra expense on the insurance. These days my car camping is in my SUV, which I love, and want to go small like that when I do become a nomad. Anyway, I did see the original, and it was a joy to watch you watch it, too! Happy journeys!
