Living In Our 1997 Dodge Van

  • Since making the decision to live in our van, life has been everything but slow. So with a desire to relax and Victoria’s injured hand preventing us from going rock climbing or mountain biking, we set our sights to take it easy and actually enjoy living on the road. Cody rock climbed in the iconic Indian Creek, Utah. We took a much needed lake swim and had a quiet morning in Flagstaff, AZ. And lastly, we hiked a mellow trail for sunset in beautiful Sedona. This relaxing little road trip was everything we needed but we’re definitely ready to get back out there with all of the outdoor activities! Enjoy all of the peaceful nature vibes:)
    Thank you to our friends over at ICECO for sending us the perfect fridge for our van:)

    Great composition, your captures of the little sounds of life (coffee prep, banana slicing) are all things that just get buried in normal busy life. Your storytelling through this is very compelling. Another “great vibe”

    Awesome camera placement and video quality. You have one of the first channels i subscribed. I can't imagine the amount of time, energy and effort it takes to produce, record and edit one of your video. What sold me was the confident and enthusiastic "My Boy Cody Blue" was going to take me on an adventure i physically can no longer accomplish. Of course followed closely by lovely Victoria who is madly in love with Cody.

    Always enjoy your videos and travels, even more so now that you have Hazel! I would highly recommend rattlesnake aversion training for Hazel with all the southwest traveling you are doing. I see Hazel has mastered the "You have food, I don't have food" stare down.

    “When you live in your office, work is your life.” Maybe separate things a bit more. Work in one are, take as many pictures and videos, exploit it as much as you then, when done, go somewhere else and do NO WORK. No video, no pictures, nothing. Keep it secret, sacred. Just for the 3 of you.
    “But then I won’t have content…” you might think. Yes you will but, this time, it’s for you and you alone.
    Keep it up!
