    You perfectly addressed any negative comments regarding your channel. As you said there are hundreds of van life channels on UA-cam and if you're not happy with one particular one, go search and you'll eventually find what intrigues you. Also using newspaper when cleaning your windshield instead of the terry cloth will eliminate those streaks/swirls you see afterwards.

    Re: Homemade wasp traps. Take a 5 gallon bucket, fill 2/3 full of water adding Dishsoap like Dawn. Next, set the bucket away from the house like under a tree. Next, take a raw steak or salmon fillet and run a string through it and hang it directly over the bucket under the top edge. The wasps will gorge themselves on the meat and fall into the soapy water and die.
    My wife and I lived in Fairbanks Alaska for several years and were plagued with the same wasp problem, this works really good 👍
    Add more bucket traps around the yard as needed away from the living areas.

    hint for streak free windows on the inside, use newspaper and vinegar water, I learned that one from a 93 year old woman who was a lighthouse captains daughter.

    Right after I got my van, I was sitting in a Walmart parking lot. It was the middle of the day and some guy came up behind my van and started trying to open the back doors. The idiot didn't even seem to care whether I was in the van or not. I snuck into the back of the van and screamed as loud as I could. The idiot ran off. Idiot !!!! 😂 Opportunity thieves are so stupid. ❤

    Have you ever tried "shelf milk" sometimes called "UHT milk"? When I was stationed overseas in 80's, we used Vollmilch from Germany and loved it. Allows you to have unrefrigerated milk stored up on a shelf, and just cool the liter/quart you want later. In US there's a dollar type store where it sells for $1.25 per quart/liter. Maybe some there in Canada too.

    That last shot of Slocan Lake was breathtakingly beautiful, I don't think I'll ever get bored of looking at Slocan Lake, no matter what season, it's unbeatable!🥰
