Expiration dates and best by dates aren’t hard science and set in stone. They are basically for 1) liability and 2) created because people got all weird about not knowing the origin of their food as they weren’t as connected to the process anymore, so dates were added to give the illusion of knowledge. Smell and sight check > dates
I love the vlogs 🥰 I think most dates on food are 'best by' & not 'expiration'. My thought is if it looks & smells OK, I'm using it, even if the date's passed.
FYI, chungus is very smart! ( even though you tell him he's not ) And you're even smarter for taking the time out daily to look after you ie skin care! The 5 minutes it takes, I'm sure you feel centers you and makes you feel good about yourself which is nice to see❤ your vlog
Great as always (glad you, the chungus, and the van all ok). Hey, don't know if you want, but you could contact land agency (BLM, USFS, etc.) and let them know about the trash thing (especially as there are new regs that might impact some of these lands soon).
Very cool video! It’s like being there and also makes me feel less insane- cuz my adventures with my dog are kinda never what I pictured- but it always turns out to be good. I love being alone with my dog!
At the start of that story I thought you were in the driver’s seat and had just opened THAT door. The actual door story is so much more alarming! I’ve never seen a hot spring. Thank you so much - that was relaxing (and you are utterly beautiful)
I just found your channel, I like it because your van actually looks lived in, this fact makes your channel more realistic in my opinion. Soon I’ll have watched all your videos and reels. Have a good day and be safe. Salt Lake City, Utah.
Cleaning as you go is the best thing to do! Hard to get started, but it’s worth it. One of the first things my grandma taught me about being in the kitchen.
I stopped looking at expiration dates, when I lost my job during COVID. And when I went back I just kept doing it. Now this I stress is what works for ME!! I look, smell and if its not raw, taste it. My Mum and Brothers are horrified but 3 years in and I've never been ill. Again this works for me..... don't try this at home!! Your vlogs are great, I really look forward to them.
I love on the road with my two cats and make UA-cam videos in a similar spirit as you guys and it is so fun to watch you because while my video style might be a little different than yours - your videos are what my daily internal monologue is like. I need to find myself some hot springs now! Sending love from my little stretch of road to yours! ❤
I loved watching this video! You're definitely more ent than TV! I am absolutely in love with Chungus! Beautiful kitty, full of personality ❤ Thanks for sharing your life! ❤
Always prefer checking smell and look and maybe even taste a bit over throwing food away just because it reached the expiration date. I once saw a documentary where the interviewer searched in a city, crowded street for people with reeeally old food, like expiration date back several years and found someone with ~10 year old canned green peas (Erbsen in german) and they where still completly fine! I also think it depends on what kind of food your judging. Raw meat? Milk/ dairy products or eggs? Pre-made food like sandwiches or cesar salads or so? I would not eat far after the exp. date. Canned stuff, frozen food, highly processed food? Especially with many chemicals in them to make them last longer...i belive some of these things just don't go bad😂
That BIKE RACK has never felt secure. At 12:50 I found it surprising that the bikes sway so much. Wouldn’t it be great to find a journal laid out like that!
just came across this video because I love Mammoth Hot Springs and van traveling I actually loved this video so much! Your cat is so cute❤🥺😭 plz make more videos lol I’m about to binge watch your channel 😂🍿
Take a deep breath in through your mouth. Hold it for 3-5 seconds. Exhale slowly through your nose. Repeat x3-4. Your heart rate-- and anxiety-- should decrease. Certain receptors in your chest wall sense this pressure decrease inside your chest cavity as its volume increases; your vagus nerve ("rest and digest" nerve) is activated and "tells" your heart rate to slow. Additionally, this maneuver allows increased blood flow to your heart chambers, thus improving your overall circulation. Yay, science!
I feel like animal products expire quicker so I would definitely throw those away past expiration but plant foods seem to be okay as long as the package is sealed for a long time (coming from my personal uneducated opinion)
Is the other backpack still smelling of Chungus’ nail trim tantrum?😂 Try letting soak in hydrogen peroxide for at least 3hrs, you can put it inside a plastic bag so no sunlight gets to it and it’s able to soak well. After that, you shouldn’t be able to smell any urine, but if there is still some smell, you can add some more peroxide and let it sit for another 3+ hours, or put it in a regular washing cycle (by itself) and a bit of baking soda instead of soap. Or just add soap if no baking soda available. I’ve gotten the smell out of literally everything, even wood, with that approach. And I think Mercury was in retrograde already when you made the video, so that would explain all the car shenanigans. Good thing you are Chungis are okay!
I started having things happen like you described the van moving and a brain tumor was found. Don't write it off as stress unless you rule it out. Not to scare you but I wish somebody had tossed a red flag up for me. Could be nothing or could be something
glad you mentioned driver's license as they require a permanent address and i don't think many people think of that. many 'official' things require one and a mobile lifestyle isn't in the governments thought process. license plates are another one to consider. it dawned on me if someone saw chungus and thought he was in danger of overheating. has that happened?
Logan has a full time job that he does online. And now they get some money from social media (although that wasn’t the original plan) How cool that they get loot like that amazing backpack!
I dnt think she and other van lovers lives alone with partner or pet every single day and 24hours😅.... Fake life lives strategy 😅 We always sees women girl new born baby girls traps by culprits rapist😢 so never stay like over confidence....it will ruins life. Be safe 🙏

Smell and sight check > dates
I love watching y'alls videos! They are entertaining and authentic.
I had to put child cabinet locks on my cabinets so my kitten loves eating my tortillas and bread
Wow you're amazing... big Chung is awesome.. Paxton Lee Kitty approved ❤
Loving these longer vlogs.
chungus just has the cuuuuutest face oh my goodness!
i cant chungus with the background of cows 🤣

Chungus is a girl 🙂
These vlogs are so comforting ❤️

Love your videos and your adventures, and Chungus of course! I have to hide any bread or chips bags in my oven from my cat. ❤
😂😂😂😂what?! Your cat tries to rip open your bread bags and chip bags?
Most foods have a use by date, if it's used a day or two later and smells fine still, I'll still cook it up.

I love your videos! I’m curious where you got your hair towel? I’ve been searching for one just like it.
Best van vloggers
