Jugaad It Yourself
United States
Приєднався 6 бер 2016
Hey! I'm a graduate engineering student that loves to figure out ways to do things with ingenuity and a frugal mindset. Enter my favorite Hindi word: Jugaad! Give it a wikipedia search or listen to this podcast: shorturl.at/syQU9. Jugaad is a spirit of problem solving that demands creativity and making due with what you have: whether that's limit of the materials at hand, the budget you can't overstep, or the skills that you bring to the table, I hope my videos help you learn to embrace the spirit of jugaad to tackle your own projects worth solving :)
Stanford 2022 commencement speech "Don't stop to smell the roses, stop to thank the gardener"
I made my speech about appreciating the people who make the roses bloom in our lives, using my experience working with the grounds management at Stanford (and coming to understand the nuance and expertise of their work) to frame realizing instances of work that go unacknowledged in our lives.

Do y'all have a favorite word that exists only in other languages? As in we don't quite have an English word that captures the true meaning? That word for me is the Hindi word "jugaad" ; here's my best attempt describing it and the reason it's the theme of my channel!

DIY Mud Water Recipe IN BULK!
Переглядів 41 тис.3 роки тому
EDIT: DO NOT ADD 1/2 CUP SALT! I made a scaling error of astronomical proportions, and it's definitely wayyy too much. As I mention in the video, rather than mixing salt into the bulk recipe, I recommend leaving it out and adding individually to each cup if you want to include it. Otherwise you risk making an entire 100 cups too salty! Want to enjoy delicious flavors and focus without the caffe...

The video that got us started on our build!!! Thank you so much for such an inspiring and clever little build, we loved it!!!
Are you still making this three years later? Did you move on to something else?
The table and bed setup is perfect my question is did you find this design online or did you make it yourself ? Do you have a link or something to the plans itself I would love to do this. Great bulid❤
Did you build this alone? Or did you have help? It’s awesome !
Did you build the pull out kitchen or is there somewhere to buy something like that? Ty. 😊
jugged = renecking things
Good video. Like what you did to the van. Great job
please drop the google doc girlie. this is genius
Thank thank thank you!!!!
❤ oh you just made my day❤ I was staring at the windows of the Sprinter today thinking you are too lazy to make a template and would rather just hang up the blackout curtains that I already have❤ a couple of the ladies and I have been talking back and forth in the threads about the different ways to hang curtains and the one of them used PVC elbows to hold up a broomstick she used as the curtain rod.❤ welcome to the tribe yes we're mostly a bunch of old ladies but we're wise and we're wise enough to learn from the yunginz❤😂❤
The Van is adorable, the build is smart & super functional. If you can live on less, the better!
What about your bathroom and shower!? 🚻
Where is the toilet ?
This is my mission and vission of life struggle life dream with my real heart and soul touch life partner but as a bachelor single there is suffering and seeing as like your mentality life style, natural simple to use love ❣️ life,oh God please find and attached me as my dream for your kind blessings ❤️
With all this plug and play power system it’s obvious she’s not electrical engineer and it’s highly unlikely she’s a structural engineer so what is she, yet another software engineer?
Nobody ever says I converted a Ford transit because that’s all I could afford, but …..
Magnetic strip will only hold low quality 18/0 SS, not the 18-8 or 18/10 SS that won’t rust. What king of “engineer” (student) are you hoping to be?
Hi !! I’m a new subscriber … your van is absolutely beautiful!!! I wish you much success as you continue your education. Enjoy your van life 👍🏾
This build is brilliant, classy, and so professionally executed. Thanks for sharing
Great little van.
the drawer sliders are such a nice touch, sweet tour <3
I did the 12 servings bulk recipe and I think the 12 tbsp of cacao powder is way too much. Perhaps a typo?
Thank you so much for posting your beautiful and unique creation. I admire your handiwork and especially your annuity. Creating a very unique design that addresses the need for both a place to sleep and a place to work. I love the pop-up table design! I’ve never seen it anywhere else. Bravo! A great job! I’m a new subscriber because of how I’m impressed. I am with your build and YOU!!!❤😊
Annuity should read ingenuity. 😆 Please allow some editing in the future?😅
I’ve had my ford transit connect for 6 years now and have been watching these builds for longer. This by far the best build you’re a genius. How did you make the metal box for your fridge? Where is your cloths?
Since you can make this work, I have something I think I could make work for van life full time. My bulkiest things would be bucket toilets(2), grey and fresh water tanks, the electrical system, and fridge. I'd want open space moveable plastic basin for bucket bath. Sink is important for handwashing. And finally, a recumbent stationary bike! That would be the bulkiest item but I could cut up,so I can disassemble when desired, if at all. I use it everyday in a bedroom for my exercise, and my seat. The rest of the stuff is fairly small and packed in netting, hanging on the ceiling or walls Most people go for a boxy build with cabinets but I think more space saving but not as pretty mostly without cabinets.
Thanq for sharing This is a great build its been fantasticly though out. Please stay safe on your journey.
You are a goldmine of information! If I replicate your bed design, how much fabric would be needed? I can figure the individual cushions as you gave good descriptions but if you can provide that as well it would be great!
Great van, just about to embark on something similar, could I get in touch with you maybe to ask a few questions?
Yes! You're welcome to message me on my insta @murphy_mobile_
Thank you thank you thank you for this!! 🙌🏼🫶🏼☕️
Thanks for this! I’m going on my second year using your recipe. So much better than that pricy stuff. One batch lasts me about 10months 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Can I possibly buy the kitchen cabinet somewhere?
What is the cost per bulk/ serving? (compared to Mudwater)
You still van lifing?
Can you do a recipe with turmeric instead of cacao
Can you show me how to make the creamer please. Mahalo
Why only 1/2 cup of sacred 7 mushroom powder? Just curious I thought it would be more
What year is your van
I got so nervous watching you pour the water into your mug right next to your laptop! One wrong move and, ZAP!, $2k down the drain.
Did you ever post a link to Google docs with the exact dimensions for your bed?
I've seen hundreds and hundreds of van builds and over 30 mini vans, and you got it all right. Genius design, you nail it girl! -💯 If you do have the plans for this rig build, do please share 🙏
Any major issues with the 2013 transit?
Hi there! What year is your van? I seriously want a Connect and want to know if this is a post 2013 model. If it is, it looks like I could easily sit in it. Thanks!
Hi! This is the 2013 model! This is the last year that the roof at this height. After this, Ford dropped the ceiling height significantly. Mine is also the XLT or passenger version, meaning I have bluetooth speakers, a backup camera, the third window etc
love your recipe; will you be doing others on the MW rooiboss or turmeric combo. Thanks. On a budget; this helps so much. Cannot drink regular coffee..have watch mw due to high mineral content.
Probably one of the nicest conversions I've seen. Fantastic job! (Doing my own DIY conversion in the next weeks).
Nice video. Yours is the first I’ve seen using the passenger version of the van with all the windows, love it!
I am currently planning a build rn for my 2012 ford transit and I am in absolute awe of how smart you made this 4-in-1 bed design. I will most definitely be using this design for my build. I have been so worried about not having enough multipurpose spaces, and this just solved those problems. Do you have any dimensions or measurements on how you built out the base? I would be beyond grateful if you could help me out with my build. Thank you so much for your video!! Sending love from the midwest ❤️
I dont have the mud water that has cocoa powder
love your van
You have the exact build I would like to have! Do you offer plans for your build to other wannabe #VanLifers ? I know that at least one guy sells his for $20 to make some additional cash. I’d be willing to buy them!!!
