    @christinestein4725 4 роки тому +4

    If u get a circular bucket with a screw on lid..add dirty clothes water and washing pdr..the movement of the van when travelling will wash it 4 u ! Also we have a "Dream pot"
    It is like a v large thermos with 2 removable stainless steel containers.U throw in meat veg liquid to season and cook..bring to a rolling boil on any cooking heat..when boiling quickly put in thermos container and close lid..this will slow cook all day and your meal will be cookef when you arrive at your destination..no fuss after a long day driving or if you are away hiking etc !
    Enjoy! Christine from Australia.🇦🇺

Your energy is contagious and you two are clearly genuinely happy. I'm from New Brunswick and am ecstatic to find Canadian vanlifers who aren't far from me and who I relate to so well! My dream is to experience vanlife some day and it's awesome to see that you can do it in Canada all year round.

      Sieve or strainer...same thing. Usually made with mesh (plastic or metal). Tiny openings.
      Colander = usually one piece (plastic or metal or ceramic) with holes drilled/stamped out of it.
      For vanlife needs, the sieve/strainer would be all you need. Tho have seen collapsible colanders. Probably wouldn't use very often.

    For cloths we use packing cubes. you can get different sizes on Amazon or in many big box stores.The medium and small sizes do the best. We pack the cubes and label the cube so we know what has what piece of clothing we are looking for. Also you can get different colors for his and hers. They pack tight and if we have to travel on public transport they pack easily in to a travel bag.

    Yesterday I've discovered your channel and I've already watched at least 10 of your videos. 🤪 You are such a nice and funny couple! 😃
    A trick for organizing your clothes: you can roll up your t-shirts (and other clothes) - they will take up less space this way in the cabinet, and it is much easier to take a t-shirt from the cabinet, from the middle of the pile, without ruining the whole pile.
    (I didn't read all the comments, sorry if it has already been mentioned).

      Tools for building you mean? You will need a little set of many things if you don’t want to spend too much time hammering down your nails. Maybe we could do a video on that. Otherwise, check the « How to make your curtains » video that we posted a few weeks back. You’ll see many tools we use on a daily basis.

    Another great video! You guys are very well organized. Thank you for showing it. To know which box/bottle is the dish soap and which one is the clothing soap, my suggestion is to make a big sign on a label for each. You can buy those big labels pretty much anywhere you'll find office supplies and from the software "Word", you can create your own label. You can also add a color for each by hand cause I think those labels are available in white only. So, you can use paint to add a color on each label. It may be easier to remember that laundry is blue for example and red is the color for the dishes. Have a wonderful day! :-)

      Or get a black permentant Sharpie and write on the box/ bottle , (Dish) /( Clothes) easy peasy. You have that masking tape, just write on that with a pen. My son says to me. KISS Mom, KISS. That means: Keep it Simple Stupid. LOL. I think he's joking about the stupid thing......he better be...lol.
