Can I just say that I'm an insomniac and I've been putting your vlogs on in the background as I sleep lately and it's been very helpful. I also enjoy watching your videos in the daytime mind you, but I have rarely found more soothing content for my ever running brain. Thanks!
Scott, I think you have a real talent for storytelling. Your video was so engaging and interesting, and I was captivated from beginning to end. You have a great way of making your audience feel like they're right there with you. Regards, Joe B.
True! Backing in is WAY safer. Some people ask, "Well, you have to back in or back out, what's the difference?" Right after highschool, I worked at a pool servicing company, and visited 50-60 pools a day. I backed into almost every driveway. As I approached, I could do a quick visual check of the driveway and all the area around it, then pull just past it and immediately back in. No chance of running over a bike or kid (heaven forbid!). Then when leaving, 5 minutes later (we only checked and added chemicals, no cleaning), I could see everything in front of me as I departed the driveway and headed for the next pool on my route. Later, as a supervisor, I'd go with the new guys that always wanted to pull in forwards. That was the first habit I'd break them of, and though they were skeptical at first, after trying it a few times, they always recognized that, especially with the limited visibility of a truck, it was much better to back in.
I worked in the office for a mechanic and he said always back in because front ends are cheaper to repair if someone backs into you when they pull out. Radiators and front clips sound expensive but it was true that rear end parts were way pricier.
I would have replaced the plugs to when doing the coils. You can get carbon tracking on the plug due to a weak boot. However you can have a bad coil also. You did a good job either way. The wire-releasing agent, when they make wires, like to use peanut oil, and the mice and other critters smell and think it's food. Some manufacturers use soybean oil, and they love that more.I think by now, they will find something better. I love your videos.
Coils are a good DIY project. Small flat screw driver helps with the connectors. Two of mine were showing signs of arcing. My old Toyota oil burner. Burned oil since new. Dead by 125K. They didn’t make long lasting Corolla in 2009. Also didn’t stand behind warranty. It’s okay to burn a half quart of oil every 500 miles. Not a Toyota fan.
Always excited to watch Scott doing Van life. Haven’t seen the video yet. About to grab me a cuppa coffee. Just wanted to say I was with my wife driving in Santa Rosa California. My wife says hey there’s that coffee guy she knows that I like watching his videos, she said that I almost jumped out of the car. She was out of my seat. She was only joking. It was a van that looked like Scott’s anyways buddy. Thank you for keeping me entertained and taking me along on your adventures Scott.💯🙏☕️☕️☕️
So glad that Scott he’s willing to come out here and share a bit of his life with us. There’s always good humor. Found myself watching this video again today. I still have not caught up on all of Scott’s videos, but I have found myself popping into videos I’ve already seen, but I still keep watching because he is so genuine and authentic. Let’s keep following him and supporting him with likes and comments everyone!💜💜
Beautiful beach! Love northern California, Love to be by the beach! Glad the van was fixed, and yes you save alot by tefusing to pay yourself lol. Love your videos
Chap watching u live u life safe & self sufficient in u lil home ,is bring me contentment, m sure u gat u struggles as do us all , bt i still tink u have a calm respectable life ! Ize b day dreamin is me living in da van 😅. Tek it easy deh comrade & god bless
I live in the New Mexico mountains. Ack! Mice! I use a mix of sugar and baking soda. It does kill them, but does not kill things that eat them. Does not kill squirrels. They exit my house and stay in the food chain.
Beautiful scenery! I so love the ocean (even though I can't swim 😄) I find it incredibly soothing and calming even through video. Thank you! Have a wonderful week, Scott.
Hi Scott. I am from the Canadian Prairies. The mice love the new cars, because a lot of the new wire insulation is made out of corn. I have heard of mice totaling a car, after the damage they did one winter on a SUV that was in storage, as the owners went south for the winter... All the best with your van
Oh yes....the butter delivery device! It's amazing how we get so focused on it 😄. I have a penchant for very thin, seedy bread which I toast for 1.75 minutes in the toaster. It's perfect. Second option is my home-made sourdough. Very nice. Another great video - thanks Scott! Enjoy your journeys 🤩
Oh, Scott your sense of humor is showing!😁 The views are wonderful & I love to hear the breakers on the beach! Take care of yourself & thanks for the videos! Also I haven’t thought of bacon fat in Mac & cheese, I have to try it!
Napa parts used to be good but now, some are stamped made in China. If the engine skips and misses, I would replace the spark plugs before the coils or all at the same time. Plugs are more a wear item. There are dealer prices for Mopar parts and there are online Mopar parts that are way less and not marked up like crazy for the same Mopar parts.
💜ooooo… and, there is glass beach! Thank you for sharing this with us :-) I am so grateful that I found you and your channel a while back. It has brought me so much peace. Between all of the beautiful places that you go and share with us, all your humor and the calmness of your voice and your personality you bring me such peace. A piece that I’ve needed in my life for a very long time. So thank you thank you thank you so much, Scott! And thank you so much for sharing that beautiful sunset! May your week be one full of love and joy and a whole lot of coffee :-) take care!
Yes. The best pets are other people's pets. What I love most about dogs is that they are so happy to see you! A happy dog can make your day😂 Have a good week.
Thanks for showing us all these interesting places you go to in your van. I looked at Fort Bragg in my maps to see your location. I’ve only been to California once years ago and enjoyed seeing something of the state. 👍🤗😃
Wow. I made the “Mac n cheese” with peas and yellow bird salsa and you are right, it was 5 star-yelp -deliciousness! It took it to fancy hotel Mac n cheese status. 😂
Was thinking of u the other day when I replenished my supply of Yellow Bird. Found a 6.7 ounce bottle of Blue Agave Sriracha at Walmart and it was a bigger bottle than I usually find there. Cheers man ✌️ 🚐
DYI whenever you can is always good. When it was time to change the cabin air filter in the other car, they wanted $120.00. It was an $11.00 part and took me under 2 minutes. We had squirrels chewing wires and tried the peppermint oil. I think I saw a squirrel look at me and laugh.
Love Tuesdays! I look forward all week to your videos. Thank you very much!!! Ps. I hope you get as much needed sleep so it cures that tiredness you have been feeling! Here’s to energy! 👋🏻
It’s so pretty. I like all the organic things you find. I have hypoglycemia and I have to eat super healthy, unfortunately I live in an area that doesn’t have the best selections for eating organic. So sometimes I order it on Amazon. I have a picky body she has allergies to random things. I also get vertigo. There have been times I wake up and the room is spinning and I can’t stand up. So I have to do the Epley maneuver. I’m trying to get my anxiety in control so I can drive to N Ca to see the sights. Once I get the nerve to do it! It’s been my dream for a very long time. The last time I went was 15 years ago maybe more. So I write down places you visit so I can see some of those things. Thanks for taking us along with you!! 🤗😊
That is so interesting about spritzing your coffee beans - going to give it a try. Yellow Bird absolutely qualifies as your vegetable. Parts wear out, much like my heart?!
Hi Scott I see you are very close to getting 40k subs are we having a party 🎉🥳 I will definitely be having a tiny beverage but I don't drink anymore but I definitely think it's worth a tiny one 😅 thanks for all your videos its great to see a notification come up on my feed stay safe and happy my friend from all your UK subscribers 🚐🚐🚐👍😁🤟✌️🙏
Some medications block the effect of caffeine. It’s 115 am here, I’m having coffee and making apple muffins. The coffee made me realize I haven’t seen any of your videos lately.
I have a couple of playlists with all my videos in order if you’re interested in catching up: ua-cam.com/play/PL9PWzpL1cZIFEMzan0labSGtOKwZ5bm79.html&si=TMaFwmWq1OZ4AnVt
Bought my coils, cables, and plugs at Rockauto. Think it was around $350 for everything (4.7L V8). Firestone wanted $605 for a "tuneup" and i'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten new coils. We'll see how long it takes me to put all this in. Hopefully I can get it all in in a single day. I'm quite fatigued these days myself. We'll see.
Hi Scott, Enjoyed your content. Lots of people work under the hood where they park here at auto parts stores and even rest areas. Enjoy your narriative. I dont worry about you because your so self sufficient. I learn alot from you. ❤
When I am in my van and suffer of flies or mosquitos..., I would always trash the inside of my van, the walls and attached equipments, attempting to murder them with the fly swatter - it's war and I was accustomed to antagonization from those bastards as belligerence was high I dropped all 'rules' of engagement. But I escalated with increasing success by deploying a mosquito net over doors/windows, to setup a defensive perimeter. Next I developed a specific van lighting scheme that optimized my target acquisition capability. Finally, I had defense contractor procure a powerful, military grade 18.2v batt. handheld vacuum with stretchy hose and the long needle nose attachment for corners (low bidder > DeWalt team of Black & Decker fame). I vacuum them right out of the air. Then I place a balloon over the nose attachment, so they cannot escape... EVER !! (I stay with the Haz Mat yellow balloons - they match my DeWalt) Clearing my van usually takes 5 min max, but after which, I'm completely done with them. I store it under my bunk as multipurpose device and I train with it on weekends... clean-up my van
@Haha I can see why you said that now! Do you ever encounter snakes in Humboldt county? Also have you tried Frank’s Hot Sauce? It’s made here in Canada. It is awesome! I can’t find Yellowbird here. It is worth trying if you see it👍 Happy Halloween Scott:)
woow only 55 minutes ago ,,good catch knowing i am only 5000 mile away in turkey watching ,i used to live in east coast ,only once i have been to LA and huntington beach venice beach,if i only knew scott and his nomad life style i would never come back to turkey i lived in newyork since 83 till 2012 but now i am 64 should i start doing it i am undecided.long live scott by the way i am having my second coffee and on the first i watched your hair cuting ,trinidad area lol, thank you for keeping me watching you entartained by you also taking me alone places i havent been yet. by the way your flanel shirt you bought it from walmart or home depot somewhere ,look good you like it a lot dont you scott.i have to tell you one more thing you got everything in that van anyone can have in a house. also harm the suckers RATs scott or put some moth bolls around the engine.no dont kill the spiders they good ,eating musqitoes.yes sunset was great ,thank you for reading i realy appreciated.
😊 I like to put dry mustard and cayenne pepper in my homemade Mac and cheese and right before you mentioned it, I was thinking, "Ooh! I wonder how Yellow Bird Serrano would be in it?". When my mother-in-law comes to stay I've been giving her Yellow Bird to put on her eggs in the morning. She likes it and she is a die hard tobacsco fan.
What a lovely place you are Scott. It is so nice and open. I am so happy you are a Mr. Fix-it and do things yourself when able. As usual, I am commenting before you finished. That is ok. I won't miss anything important that you say. I hope you had a fabulous day.
Love that you showed us glass beach, it truly is beautiful. I’m learning so I must ask. I noticed you have what looks like an enamel coated cast iron fry pan. I just bought one but haven’t used it yet. I also noticed you have a metal fry pan. What are the reasons you use one over the other at times? I read one has to treat enamel cast iron pans carefully in special ways so I’m nervous in caring for mine properly. Can you shed some light on how you care for yours? Thank you, Scott! ❤
I don’t do anything special with my enamel on cast iron pan. Here’s a vlog that has a bit more info on why I bought the pan: ua-cam.com/video/RB680wnanRw/v-deo.htmlsi=MW-mFoPtuirB8ziV
When you're in Northern California and say you're going to NAPA, you sometimes need to clarify. "Whatta ya mean Napa is a few blocks away? It's like 140 miles!"
Summer of 2021 going north on Hwy 1 spent a few days in Ft Bragg. One of my go to day places to park was Noyo, ur right pretty good place to hang out. How's the homeless rv/van situation these days in Ft Bragg?
You must not do much sky viewing due west after sundown. You've said nothing of the comet. Mendo so much more rocky than Humbo. The arch at the beach where the water swishes in and out through a "cave" and looks like its coming from a secret source below a sharp drop off...does the tide ever get high enough so that the hole doesn't drain? gotta love that ocean wind especially when temps are melting lead inland. wish I could eat as many carbs as you do, sure looks yummy.
I haven’t heard about comets until just now. I’ve been avoiding watching or reading the news. Never got close enough to the punch bowl to notice the water level.

Hi Scott, I'm fairly new to your channel. I enjoy watching and have an interest in van life due to financial constraints. I loved what you said, that the bread is the butter delivery device. Too funny! It's true. I lived in Gig Harbor, WA twice. Five years each time. I'm back in Southern California again for the last year (Murrieta) and kind of regret my move back this time. I miss it there in the Pacific Northwest. I'm familiar with places you talk about and stores you frequent and I worked at Fred Meyer. I already want to go back! So beautiful there.
F mice. That sucks. I have tons of traps to keep my garage clear. Stainless steel wool at all gaps helped too. Hard with an engine bay to keep them out. You need a pack of snakes for the engine bay.
found your vids just a week ago. will watch more love them, you have a way to bring people in and get to know you and your sites. great job.
I lived in Crescent City, California on highway 101 as a kid. In 1966. I liked it there. Glass beach reminds if Bandon beach where I am from.
Love that beautiful wild ocean , so peaceful 😊
Glad to know that I’m not the only one who loves , loves , loves COFFEE ♥️

Thanks Joe. That’s about the nicest compliment to read.
I agree and well said. ❤🚐
You're a pleasant person!
I have no idea why I love these posts so much but I do. Keep them coming please.
Thanks. See you next Monday
I love dogs too. I can’t afford one right now . Like you I pet dogs whenever I can. They are so sweet and adorable.

Plugs were replaced about 500 miles previous

Beautiful beach! Love northern California, Love to be by the beach! Glad the van was fixed, and yes you save alot by tefusing to pay yourself lol. Love your videos
Years ago i changed my alternater in my Ford Expedition in the parking lot of that NAPA. It's a family business that relocated from San Jose.
Im with you on the cooking…
It’s good you kept up on knowing what your body needs. As always, I enjoyed your video.
Enjoyed! More coffee to you!

Scott, the weather is changing now. I noticed the wind is picking up and the fall birds are back.
What a gorgeous beach! I've not been to it but have seen many videos and photos. Lovely. Your Mac & Cheese looked great!
Oh yes....the butter delivery device! It's amazing how we get so focused on it 😄. I have a penchant for very thin, seedy bread which I toast for 1.75 minutes in the toaster. It's perfect. Second option is my home-made sourdough. Very nice. Another great video - thanks Scott! Enjoy your journeys 🤩

Kitty cats are happy to see you, too. Mine would run out in the rain to see me 🙂

Always look forward to your videos Scott.. ❤❤❤❤ Especially the cooler cozy days and coffee talk 😀😀😀😀😀

I recently bought rumiano’s cheese curds. Loved them!
Oh, I love the Fort Bragg Bakery bread.
And the Petaluma creamery cheese, so good.
Yay! 45+ minutes!!
Looking Good , Cozy up , out of the chilly draft , and enjoying you on a 43 inch is Amazing ❤ looking forwards to another beautiful Day trip 🌞🍃☕

Hopefully Walmart switches to the bigger bottles 👍🏼
Thank you for doing the touristy thing for us. I never heard of glass beach.
Fort Bragg has a lot of great campgrounds Scott. I hope you enjoy your time there.
Ft. Bragg is my very favorite place!
Second time watching it. I could hear it in your voice when you said "there's a big steep cliff here".
Haha
Enjoyed this update! Had some of my favorite things ... car repair, grilled cheese sandwich, wind, and philosophy!
Your heart.
DYI whenever you can is always good. When it was time to change the cabin air filter in the other car, they wanted $120.00. It was an $11.00 part and took me under 2 minutes.
We had squirrels chewing wires and tried the peppermint oil. I think I saw a squirrel look at me and laugh.
Bwhahaha, squirrels are hilarious
A guy on the FB Promaster City group just changed his Transmission Fluid at 118k
Such a beautiful coastline!! Thanks! 😃
I know the coil packs are expensive but when I have a misfire in one I normally replace all four plus new spark plugs just to be safe .
Love Tuesdays! I look forward all week to your videos. Thank you very much!!!

If the Epley maneuver helps your vertigo. You might research vibration plates. Reported good success with settling the otoliths.
@@sandramartin2555 oh I never heard of that. I will look into it. Thank You! 🙏
Hey, i noticed there is an autumn maple light roast coffee at trader Joe's
Generally I don’t care for TJ’s coffee. Everything they label as “light” roasted is medium or even dark
@@StaticCamperVan oh darn, just saw if and thought of you.
Have you had honey on buttered toast? Amazing!
Great vid! The coast was amazing and the mac+cheese looked great, will try the bacon fat add! You are the chef! Thanks!

Thanks Stephen. Raise a cup of coffee ☕️
Wow! I learn so much from you! Thanks for sharing your mouse 🐁 technique.
West coast Spiders check, foot water check, probably better ignition parts check… Safe travels Scott
thanks for the water spritzing tip for ground coffee, first I'm hearing of it.

9:30 , That must be some good butter because you put butter on it like its a condiment.
Aw man , wish I knew you were in town 😢😅

Try WD40 for insects. Yes, WD40. Spray around doors, windows, etc. Give it a try.

Hey Scott you mentioned mice in Arizona- have you ever seen scorpion there? Yikes!!
Thanks for the company today:)
Yes, and tarantulas and rattlesnakes too
Thanks for mentioning this as I'm getting ready to become a full time nomad. It really is important to be aware of your surroundings.
@@StaticCamperVan Holy cow! How do you protect yourself? Thick hiking boots?
@lelerussell3623 it’s not really anything that I deal with anymore. I swore to never set foot in the desert again. Haha

hmmm my computer says a bit further, more like 7,000 miles. The southern part of California is nothing like northwestern part. How did you like NYC?
The Mac & Cheese looks sooooo good!! 😋
I hope your vehicle repair works out well and successful.
Thanks
Lately haven’t been getting that buzz. I think the cafes aren’t getting the premium roast.
😊 I like to put dry mustard and cayenne pepper in my homemade Mac and cheese and right before you mentioned it, I was thinking, "Ooh! I wonder how Yellow Bird Serrano would be in it?". When my mother-in-law comes to stay I've been giving her Yellow Bird to put on her eggs in the morning. She likes it and she is a die hard tobacsco fan.
What a lovely place you are Scott. It is so nice and open. I am so happy you are a Mr. Fix-it and do things yourself when able.
As usual, I am commenting before you finished. That is ok. I won't miss anything important that you say. I hope you had a fabulous day.
I was there 3 weeks ago and I hated this road before Fort Bragg. Never do it again! 😅
What? I prefer Route 128 because it’s both easy and a very pretty drive. But of course it’s out of the way if traveling from the north
OMG, what do you mean, not the best grilled cheese?? It looks wonderful! Now I'm hungry!
I have high standards in regards to grilled cheese
Love that you showed us glass beach, it truly is beautiful. I’m learning so I must ask. I noticed you have what looks like an enamel coated cast iron fry pan. I just bought one but haven’t used it yet. I also noticed you have a metal fry pan. What are the reasons you use one over the other at times? I read one has to treat enamel cast iron pans carefully in special ways so I’m nervous in caring for mine properly. Can you shed some light on how you care for yours? Thank you, Scott! ❤
I don’t do anything special with my enamel on cast iron pan. Here’s a vlog that has a bit more info on why I bought the pan: ua-cam.com/video/RB680wnanRw/v-deo.htmlsi=MW-mFoPtuirB8ziV
When you're in Northern California and say you're going to NAPA, you sometimes need to clarify. "Whatta ya mean Napa is a few blocks away? It's like 140 miles!"
Haha
If that's Direct Injection, you need to use fuel additives to keep carbon from building at the injection site....
I just checked. Your van has port injection, not as critical, but could use a injector cleaner once in awhile..
The heart quip was funny. And man, send some of that weather over this way haha. The sun, not the wind😂
The wind was intense!
Summer of 2021 going north on Hwy 1 spent a few days in Ft Bragg. One of my go to day places to park was Noyo, ur right pretty good place to hang out. How's the homeless rv/van situation these days in Ft Bragg?
You must not do much sky viewing due west after sundown. You've said nothing of the comet. Mendo so much more rocky than Humbo. The arch at the beach where the water swishes in and out through a "cave" and looks like its coming from a secret source below a sharp drop off...does the tide ever get high enough so that the hole doesn't drain? gotta love that ocean wind especially when temps are melting lead inland. wish I could eat as many carbs as you do, sure looks yummy.
I haven’t heard about comets until just now. I’ve been avoiding watching or reading the news. Never got close enough to the punch bowl to notice the water level.

Hi Scott, I'm fairly new to your channel. I enjoy watching and have an interest in van life due to financial constraints. I loved what you said, that the bread is the butter delivery device. Too funny! It's true. I lived in Gig Harbor, WA twice. Five years each time. I'm back in Southern California again for the last year (Murrieta) and kind of regret my move back this time. I miss it there in the Pacific Northwest. I'm familiar with places you talk about and stores you frequent and I worked at Fred Meyer. I already want to go back! So beautiful there.
Love the ocean
F mice. That sucks. I have tons of traps to keep my garage clear. Stainless steel wool at all gaps helped too. Hard with an engine bay to keep them out. You need a pack of snakes for the engine bay.
Butter delivery, oh heck yeah, that's my attitude too! I usually say that I season my butter with toast!
