Over the course of about a month I purchase my very first camping gear ever. However some of this stuff in the long run will be for my future van.

Didn't realize wrestling still brought in those kinds of crowds. My ❤ used to be big into wrestling, but I never was. Have a good 2025.
I waved...didja see me?
Most excellent video sir. It looks like you had quite an adventure! Looking forward to the next in the series! Yay for solo travel!
What fun! You took yourself on an adventure! It looked like fun. Tons of people. Good call no checked luggage. That's by far not the smallest hotel room I've see. I follow a flight attendant, so I've seen some doozies. Excited for the next one!
PS I'm pretty sure nobody fits in those airplane seats comfortably.
Funny part was I really enjoyed the flight this time
Awesome I hope you had an amazing trip :)
I want the next video plleeease
Nice new little gadjet. Happy New Year.🎉
Cool bet you're having fun playing with that! Happy Holidays Chris!
I miss you guys so much! Need to start looking at a next trip...
I miss you too
Another beautiful location in AB. Thanks for taking us with you. Nice river walk. What month did you film this in, Chris? I love the addition of the featured places. I’m not sure if I love hearing waterfalls or seeing them more. It’s just soothing. Bet kids of all ages love the tunnel to it.
It was filmed back in September.
Amazing walk...that's a to-do item the next time I visit the great white north! Was that the upper falls? So beautiful 🥰
That was the lower falls
Great you and your mom made the day trip out there, despite the loads of people. It's definitely a very popular place and like you said it would have been better if you had got there earlier in the day. Still great power of nature to view up close and it looks to have been a nice day for the hike in. Enjoyed your selection of audio to fit the vibe. Cheers! Chris on another great video of your outdoor adventures and travel shenanigans. I've enjoyed each one! Hope you have a great time in VanCity this weekend!
Looks like great fun! You must have had to fold yourself in half to fit through the passageway. You are WAY braver than I am! So fabulous to see your Mum again! Thank you for another great video!
A beautiful day with your mom. Great video.
Good video. Just one thing, sound had some inconsistent spots. Most of the video I could hear you & them just fine, but you kind of dropped down to barely audible on the 2nd walk to the shower.
Thank you for the feedback. Audio editing is tricky so I’ll work on it for sure
F'n Training Wheels!!!! I miss the campfire the most...and the Aurora Borealis has a close 2nd even though the ground was damp 😉😉🤗🤗😘😘
Well I miss you
@@DestinationVanlife Miss you too 🤗
Great video Chris. I loved it! Was the lake closed because of animal fecal matter? (Please don’t say people) The shower would have been nice. I was ROFL about the house hippo, once I figured out what it was. I watched the commercial. Pretty funny. I’m gonna be on the lookout for them. Did Andrea get the same POS canopy model that VL+ has? It was too funny watching her wrestle the little tent. Those things are aggravating. I thought that was her favorite part. Very sweet gifts. Can’t wait to hear what your van’s name will be. Vanopy? Vanigan? VapingVan? Smoked? Thanks for sharing.
Funny because they didn’t actually close the lake there were still a ton of people in the water. They didn’t specify the nature of the poop.
@@DestinationVanlife You chose wisely! Yikes!
So I missed this part 2, Dinosaur Prov Park looks awesome. The various topography, sandstone formations, & steep inclines. I like how they showed the small dinosaurs fossils too, because we always think of dinosaurs as big. It must have been the Drumheller museum that you showed before, with your mom. Glad to see you’re getting out more. Enjoy!
So nice to see all of you again🥰
As someone with a partial, those teeth are expensive to loose!! Looked like a wonderful time! 🤗
Other then all the wasps it was great
Ahhh, the memories. Thank you for not including the ridiculous amount of f-bombs dropped while trying to fold that "pop up" shelter. Egads. Yes, Training Wheels...if you know, you know. Most excellent sir, most excellent!
Oh, Andrea, I feel your pain with that pop up! Mine may never leave its bag again 😖.
@ I ended up having a duel to the death with the pop up shelter. It bit me and I saw red. So it was disposed of and I ordered a different style. Set up is 6 minutes. Take down us 6 minutes. Woo!
@ 🤣😂
Great video, nice seeing the summer in our winter. Have a great day.
Gorgeous views!! 😍 🏔️
That was such fun...although I was a little disappointed there were no live dinos. Oh well. Maybe next time?
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask about that. Darn it!
Great video Chris! Good to see Sarah Rose and Andrea! Good to see ya Sarah Rose!
Thanks for taking us along hiking Chris, Andrea & Sarah. You’re braver than I am 🐍🦂🦣🦖🦕
Chris, don’t you just love DPP?
Yes!! I can’t wait to go back
Atta girl Andrea! You smite those little 🤬
You guys did behave ! So impressed.
Lol we tried
That looks like fun. I'm glad you're getting more use out of your tent & camping gear. Too bad about the sleeping bag. I've done similar before, going to Colorado in the winter. It's so hot down here in TX, that I don't think I can get that cold again, so I don't bring my heavy coat. So, instead I freeze. I also forget about the icy wind up there. I should know better, since I'm from there. I love the Northern Lights. They are mesmerizing! Hope you had a great time out & about.
Oh wow...I didn't realise how much you were filming...that's how observant I am. OH, and I swear a LOT! Yikes! Looking forward to the next one! BTW, nice Brewery hat Sarah Rose!
AAWWWW...it's like I have my own birthday video! Now I go watch... And now Tank Girl's Origin story is known. Nice side shot of the Non-Jeep duck...LOL
Hey there, found you through Matt's channel. I see you're still facing the license challenge and just wanted to send some words of support. I have been trying to start van life for three years now and life keeps getting in the way. For the last 14 years my life has been one obstacle and hardship after the next, and I know all too well how utterly exhausting and demoralizing it can be when you want something so badly but the combination of sh*t you cannot control and the complete mental and emotional fatigue of trying to just take the next step makes everything feel impossible. I've promised myself to work on my van for at least 30 minutes each day, because my dreams and my goals are worth it. I'm worth it. And so are you. ❤️🩹 Hope to see you on the road someday!
Wow thank you so much!! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one struggling to keep motivated on this giant life changing project. Thank you for joining the fun here!!
Enjoyed the heart-warming video. Your mom looked like an elf making those cinnamon rolls, which I'm sure were yummy. We are usually in Colorado for Christmas, which is better than TX, with no snow. Snow makes Christmas perfect!
I love the watering hole, you & Crystal go to, to fill water jugs. I bet it's the best water. Getting away from the noisy city always helps put things in perspective. That was the quietest lake, hardly a sound, so peaceful. Great job!
I loved the video! It sucks to break up camp in the pouring rain! The pasta looked yummy & sounds like you had a great time! Win! Win! Hope you get another chance to camp this summer!
Seems like a great time. The food looked yummy. Did your tent stay dry? I loved the video! You did a great job filming it.
Tent stayed dry yes! Thank you so much I loved making this one too
Yikes! Worked 9-days in a row to start out! You needed a vacation. Your mom is a trooper! I love shopping for snacks! I hope you found dry ground to pitch your tent & had a great time with everyone!
I love the new fence, you guys did a great job. Beautiful panels. We don't have the ready made panels down here anymore, I have no idea why, they are much easier. After hurricane Beryl, a lot of fences need to be replaced down here in Houston. It looks like it will be a lot of work digging out the old posts & cement. How did the Sasquatch fit into the back seat? I love it when we grow up & our annoying siblings become some of our favorite people! Keep up the good work!
How I wish I live in a place where I can just leave the city and be with the mountains I love within a couple of hours of driving. It's the journey that matters brother. It's how you traverse it. I was so depressed in February and I made it there weeks ago and met all of you. Keep moving forward :)
Sometimes the best journeys is when you push yourself to go.
How very rude. I left a comment and it wasn't saved. Let's try this again... Another wonderful video my friend. And I bet if Crystal was skipping that rock with no camera rolling, she would have skipped that rock to eternity! And yes, the journey is all about meeting yourself on the way, figuring things out and becoming a better version of yourself...absolutely! As a wise man told me, not so long ago, sometimes you just have to trust, embrace and step into the unknown and the discomfort. I believe in you. I wish you could see you the way I see you. Maybe one day. Be well my friend, be well.
Hi Chris, it's great to see you out camping again. What I wouldn't do for that rain today
Oh me too!
Need to speak up can't hear you
Working on that. Actually got some microphones I’ll be using soonn
😂just got the tent dried out & back in its bag yesterday The rain didn't stop💦 Great Trilogy Said it before...but will say it AGAIN! 💯The VanlifePlus 🍀LUCKIES🍀 are THE MOST AWESOMEST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE EVER❣ Sending you all BIG LOVE❤
I seriously thought you were going to hang up the fly to dry and then in a suprise twist ending, instead of just setting up the tent to dry in the backyard as well, you got your bedding stuff out, got comfy, closed your eyes and went back to sleep happily & outdoors. UA-cam musta gotten me contact high. 😂
