      Seek the Lord Jesus Christ while he may be found everyone. Be Holy as God is Holy everyone.Sin shortens life, because of our sins we are separated from God. Everyone have an expiration date and this world have an expiration date.There is nothing in this world worth going to hellfire for, depart from worldliness everyone. It's NOT about religion/denomination, it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ by praying everyday, reading the Bible everyday, believe the gospel, While you are still alive repent of all of your sins and be born again. Rapture is imminent, do not be left behind. Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, get yourselves ready. This WORLD is TEMPORARY and HEAVEN is PERMANENT, Choose wisely everyone.

      @@DracoPadilla Australia too, I'm afraid. I'm 52 and my daughter is nearly 18 in her last year of high school. Our rent has sky-rocketed over the last two years and I can't save to buy a house. House prices have also gone up way too high for a single person to buy. I'm going to make sure my daughter is independent and safe and then I'll hit the road too. I have a Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero in Australia) and I've already been sleeping in it for camping trips. All off-grid solar power etc. Totally comfortable and chipping away at making it really liveable within the next 12 months or so, I'd say. Arslan inspires me with every video.

    When I was a truck driver I figured out a way to carry 14 days change of clothes. What I would do is I have black shirt with a pocket shorts underwear socks roll them up put a rubber band on it. Put it in a bag keep that process up with the exact same clothing. In transportation you have to be quick or you will be waiting for everything. Having your clothes ready to go so you can get on out there and get that shower well it makes a world of difference. Just in 30 seconds a line of two people could turn into 10. If you can get out of your truck and get to that spot before then guess what you just beat out 10 people.

    I don't know anybody that wants to smell a diesel in their vehicle here's what you got to do son you got to take the cap off the In-N-Out diesel. You need to drill a hole in that so you can run that tube down to the bottom this way it'll stay sealed and all you got to do is recharge your pump whenever it drains. This way you don't have to store the pump it just sits on the top.

    If we look at life and our circumstances, most of us are pilled in debts because we want more then our actual needs.
    We want the best looking cars, big house best clothes ect ect.... when really all you need is a roof over your head, something that drives your around and something to put on your back to hide the private parts. We actually put ourselves in financial situations to either impress others or become selfish on our wants over our actual basic needs.
    I've been changing my whole scenario, never been a materialistic person (which helps) i dont need the best of the best. i have been doing a lot of food canning, freezing, growing food which is a big huge cost saving. down sized living area ect ect
    If we would all go back to basics instead of wasting so much money on things even easy "food" meals that cost so much more then making it yourselves we would be in a better situation not only financially but mentally.
    Keep doing what your doing you will appreciate life and simple things so much more!

    Great video, but something seems dangerous about using an electrical pump to move diesel fuel. Yes diesel is a lot less flammable than gasoline but it is still flammable and the vapors can ignite as well. Also, leaving the pump (with battery) inside a bag with diesel fuel in the tubing… something doesn’t seem right about that. Stay safe!

    You might not know, but here’s some tips about condensation. Propane or breathing causes it. As you sleep moisture is transferred from your body, thru your mattress and onto your plywood, where mold is created. Then you start getting sick. Cover your mattress with plastic, or drill holes in your plywood for air to reach. Every day leave your door open long enough to eliminate moisture. Wipe off what you can.

I'm disabled, so I live vicariously through you here. the idea behind s'mores is that toasting the marshmallow makes the chocolate melt. I've never been able to get one melty without charring it at least a little. the best is when the outer part of the marshmallow becomes a bit of a *crust*, because then the *inside* is totally melted! THEN you put that onto a piece of chocolate, and it is [chef's kiss] perfection ~

You don't need to look for happiness, you already have *Happiness* within you.. and you reveal it all the time in the way you live-- very organized and content. You also show lots of happiness and enjoyment with things you eat, such as the lobster and kale in one video..and the delicious shrimp in another video. You seem to be *Happy* 99% of the time!! So you are definitely lucky/fortunate to have already *found* happiness, which lots of people never 'find' or feel in their entire life.

    You said in your opening "This is a good time to tell you...this is not a fitness channel." I say, every time I add a comment on your channel, that you are hilarious. You make me laugh out loud. Great content always.

    I am really enjoying you , your resourcefulness and your channel . I’m 75 and live in a mwb sprinter high roof 4x4 when I travel.
    Your channel is my go to when I awake in the middle of the night . I admire your film editing aslo, and you adlibs……..”this is not a health channel”………..is now part of my repertoire and I hope you don’t mind.
    When you were cutting the window blinds, and flooring and installing the heater I wondered about you being a surgeon
    Congratulation on being YOU!

    I admire your way of thinking “we are not plateauing we are always moving up”. Improving yourself. Such a breathe of fresh air to know there are young people with this mind set. I can’t wait to see what you do with a can knowing what you have done with an old suburban. I’m excited for you!

    I know you got a life and are busy, but I need more videos pushed out faster here. Chop chop, get to it…Jk, I enjoy the nomadic channels. SUV, van campers are my fav. Get tips and tricks. Enjoying your channel though. Do you have an vids of your van?

    • @jodysweetg5344

      Magnetic spice holders. For me I put them on my fridge. But maybe metal plate held on by double sided foam tape behind your sink.

    • @jodysweetg5344

    Very interesting. I find it fascinating how innovative you have been in thinking of all the details, such as seeing how many amps your solar panels are getting, etc. Enjoy thoroughly whenever you have a new video.

    Genius trick using the water pump gadget to fill your diesel heater. The blowtorch is much better to heat the marshmallows. Who knows what chemicals are coming off of that candle, unless it's a beeswax candle. Getting a high top van (when the time is right) will be a great upgrade. There are so many videos on UA-cam of van dwellers who have installed very efficient and workable showers. Love your channel.

    I’m gonna try to outfit my Toyota 4Runner as a camper, go camping, and dip my toes in this self-sufficient lifestyle.

    “Kaizen” is what the Japanese refer to as continuous improvement in all aspects of life. I would say that defines you specifically Arslan! Love the channel and those desserts!

    Upgrades, baby! The best toilet/shower enclosure I've seen in a van is where the woman had her coats hanging behind the driver's seat like a little coat closet, and had a shelf at the bottom. The other side of the coat closet was the wall of her shower/bathroom. She had a swing up door and the toilet that slid out from under the coat closet when she wanted to use it and it was tucked away and hidden (and dry!) when she wasn't using it. Best arrangement I've seen.
    Also people who do the fancy filtering in order to reuse the shower water and not have to skimp on their showers and also not worry about getting water more frequently in order to have a hot decent shower.
    I also love the Murphy beds in a van. Seems so smart and easy to just fold your wall up and you're ready to roll.
    And get a decent sized sink!
