I love watching your channel because of your humor. Yes, it’s dry, but so is mine, and I totally get yours. I also love watching your channel because you’ve been spending so much time in Santa Rosa, my home town of 67 years. I love your comments and opinions on various aspects of the community and surrounding towns. I hope you stick around a bit longer!
A lot of the heat in a van (or building, for that matter) is the vehicle and the stuff in it that's at the ambient temperature. You can cool the air but everything else is still putting out heat. My method for dealing with heat is pointing the front of the van north (away from the sun) opening the driver window, the side door and one of the back doors. If there isn't a natural breeze I turn on a fan. And if that's not enough, I too go to where it isn't as hot. Stay cool, amigo.
You have pointed out a good method for keeping cool in a parked vehicle. As an OTR driver in the summer I will hang a jacket out the window facing the sun to keep the sun off the glass. It dramatically lowers the in vehicle temperatures.
Oooh, extra pretty ending. I'm also a fan of "i rarely ever drive while i'm sleeping" - and I've started to think about adding ventilation to my cargo van, so I was pleased for this reminder of your drain approach to that hole in the floor. Nice update!
hahahaha definitely didn't expect this when I'm trying to learn more about coffee. "we've never actually gotten to the moon..." You couldn't care less when mentioning this. So funny🤣
I live in very arid desert near death valley ca. Evaporative coolers work great here in our average of 9% summer humidity. But even if the rain is coming, or something, & our humidity gets a just little bit higher, the swamp cooling actually makes it worse. To me, way-high heat without humidity, is much easier to live in than even moderate heat with humidity.
❤ Good Evening Scott 🌌🌻This little Air Cool is Awesome 👍I have one & use it in my Bedroom, can't have Direct Air-conditioning on myself while sleeping,kills my Back ! But instead of using ice or water,i get Freezer Packs & put them in the filter area & you get a Dry Cool fow from the Fan🤞✌️👌🌞🙏🙌🇺🇲🌟🌅Have Great Night!🤩✨🌠
If you have Freezer packs , there's no water to melt& stay cooler longer, then just replace them with another Frozen Pack 👍You put the packs in where the Filter is!👍Thank you for sharing all your Adventures! Love to watch them, because I don't think I will ever go as far in places that you have,so I enjoy watching 👍🤞🇺🇲🙌🙏🌟👌🤩🌞🌅
I love watching your channel, I love coffee like you, and the problem for me is that I live in an area where the weather is hot most of the year. If the weather is hot, drinking hot coffee becomes less enjoyable, and switching to drinking (brew Coffee) is more enjoyable. I wish you a good morning and an enjoyable day.
Yup, they are much more efficient in dry climates. Your point about having it directly on you is well made - in your van, that should be pretty easy to do. Also interesting observation about the water heater - good to know. That makes sense really - making things hot is expensive, so limiting it's use makes sense. Be well.
Just a side note - today, 4/18 - I got a 12 oz package of sustainably grown, high elevation, organic, single origin, beans from Peru today at Aldi for $5.99. I haven't tried it yet but it smells great = it is however, a medium roast, but does not smell burned at all. Brand name: Simply Nature.
Wonderful video!!! Sooooo many things to comment on but I'll stick with Mint Chip Ice Cream!! ALWAYS my first choice~!! Never in my life have I heard of anyone not liking it! Hope you can stay cool!! Best wishes coming your way!!
A combination Swamp Cooler directed at myself while enjoying ice cream are ideas that suit me fine.. enjoy keeping cool and comfy in your really neat van.
....now that everybody else is gone....LOL Lots of funny little tidbits throughout on this one, so I enjoyed listening twice to catch it all. Education + humor. Classic Static!
I tried that air cooler when I first bought my promaster city. It definitely didn't cool me off in a heat wave however it wasn't too bad blowing directly on my face
Scott I love and appreciate your wit and your humor lol great reviews too by the way 👍 I have a very small Comfort Spectrum regarding Heat versus cold now that I'm 57 years old. So far the hottest it's been here in northern Wisconsin was one day, it reached 70° and personally I don't need anything warmer than that ... I was getting too warm.
I'm in Vancouver BC, so PNW. I call them swamp coolers, too, and I've avoided them because the summers get humid enough... Although not as bad as the Great Lakes region nor the southeast US. Someone I know was raving about theirs, so on a whim I bought one of these $20 mini gadgets from Amazon and I'm really surprised how well it works! Having it blowing on me was MUCH cooler than just a fan. On a completely unrelated note, I want to thank you SO MUCH for your video in the past about using Dr Bronner's (I can't remember if it was conditioner or hand lotion) on one's hair! I can't find the hair cream locally and it's too expensive online, but it's essentially the same ingredients as the hand lotion LOL, just thinner. WHAT A GAME CHANGER! I inherited wiry, but fine, "floaty" hair and seriously must have spent thousands of dollars over the years trying to tame my poofy ends lol. Switched to Bronner's and PRESTO, situation resolved!! 🙀 If I didn't love you already, I certainly love you now!! 😂
I am envious of you, because you can have coffee whenever you want. I can't tolerate more than 1 cup of coffee a day, or it will affect my sleep, in a negative way. I do like your videos though!
These variants of the new one you got don’t drip water on the filter and only spray mist. What I found to be a huge help in the summer is pouring some water in that pull out tray the filter sits in so those little sponge pads leech it up and gives more of a swamp cooler like effect. It doesn’t look like it but the little ledges around the side allow it to do so, I find it lasts 3 hours or so and is a good boost before going to bed. Also that white on the old one isn’t mold just calcium buildup, I get rid of that with a little vinegar wash but replacements are still sold on eBay too.
Yes, I should have been clearer about this type needing to be wet first. But this particular cooler drips water between the fan and filter. It was most definitely mold on the old filter. The growing fuzzy legs were the tip off
My favorite ice cream is coffee ice cream. When I can't get it, instant coffee sprinkles on vanilla is good. As always, good ideas and entertainment. Best idea this time to try out is driving while I'm sleeping 😂
Yum. My grandkids and I always get mint chip icecream. I always watch to the end. They are always great, and entertaining. Of course if you put out a video on watching paint dry, you'd figure out how to make it great!!
It is best to carry more than one size of hammer, so if you need a bigger hammer you have one... PS it is not good to have a mechanic with the nick name "Bigger Hammer "...
We had some extreme summers last couple years and i live on the 3rd floor of a building with no AC, all the heat collected up there and it got HOT. I found reflective in the windows blocked the sun well and a couple well placed fans kept air moving was just enough to stay comfortable. Also i thnk your body acclimates a bit and that hot weather doesnt feel so hot. I was suprised how well it felt , and felt bad for people who got used to AC all summer, if you let your body acclimitize and you get some good air flow, keep the sun out and that should do it. It kept me cool during some extreme heat here in the Great lakes region., Thankfully last summer wasnt so hot and looks like this one will be the same (thank you El Nino) that being said , a vehicle is a different story and im not sure how just ventilation would do but i suspect might be just enough. Ive been practising living in a car before making the jump and could feel the heat the last few days as well and its not even warm yet, couldnt imagine it the dead of summer but i guess thats what happens when youre car is a greenhouse basically with all those windows, well most cars. The hybrid toyotoa priuses have this climate control everyone raves about just for this kind of situation, but not very spacious living.
I can't live without air conditioning in my RV, and since you made millions as a Microsoft millionaire, I think you also deserve air conditioning. LOL. Regards from Cancun, Mexico.
Hello Scott, you always make me laugh with some of your answers, specially that you rarely drive when you’re sleeping in the back😂😂😂you have a great sense of humour to deterred the haters 👍✌️🫶👋keep on Vaning🌹
Cool❤I just have been using a O2cool fan which is $20 and can plug into solar , I have the heavy duty built suit case with all multi-use extensions I only paid $50 at Harbor Freights and the fan will also run on D batteries, purchase the fan at Walmart and I've been doing this 12 plus years full time and since my heat stroke, 7 years ago I am also very heat sensitive😮 oh my gosh whatever you do, do not injure those gorgeous hands, please. Now I have looked at that AC and I have looked at expensive solar panels and power Banks and yada yada yeah 😂 however I still use ice in an old fashioned ice chest😂 I'm not a UA-camr and I just like to have enough Sun to charge the DVD player, Walmart. And for now ET and I are laying low❤ you're definitely easy on the eyes and may you have a beautiful week Scott❤ this land is my land this land is your land❤
I grew up with swamp coolers. They work best when they bring in dry outside air and you open a window somewhere as the exhaust. Recirculating inside air just increases moisture and lowers the temperature drop from evaporation.
good to know these do work in some range of low humidity / moderate temps. if it gets hotter, could add personal spritzer spray bottle, more fans. and indeed for the most cooling power, the Pacific
A few years ago I worked three jobs. I bought one of those little AC units. I would get a cup of ice from the store and fill the top with it. Made a big difference when you were sleeping in a black pick up with a black canopy.
Hi Scott, you always need a/c period. Saving 900 bucks for not having a/c.Option w car. Sometimes trying to save money makes more of an inconvenience. But sometimes people like that. No thanks
I love these little air conditioners they’re great especially for van life because of their size & they work quite well I have 9 of them in my van which I place all around because it’s most important that I keep my fur baby comfortable doing those awful heatwaves as she doesn’t like the heat because it makes her sick & because these are conditioners are USB they don’t use much power which is another thing I like about them I recommend these mini air conditioners for anyone who’s living in a van also if you open the side door of your van a little bit to create a cross-breeze it makes a big difference
@@StaticCamperVan yes nine I don’t use them all the time but when we’re stuck in a heatwave I do because I need to keep my fur baby 🐈⬛ comfortable cats don’t like heat
Mint chocolate chip rules! IF... you think about it sometime this summer... maybe when you are being nice to yourself and buying a coffee/latte, you can ask for a heavy on the ice glass of water and do a follow up video section on whether the ice water makes a difference? Take care and enjoy!
@@StaticCamperVan Imagine playing doubles ping pong only you and your partner are playing ON the ping pong table. It is incredibly fun despite a few quirky rules and playing is extremely addicting. 😊
I love dark chocolate mint chocolate but my fav ice cream is rocky road and jamocha almond fudge! I hv never tried Trader Joes ice cream. I’ll have to give it a shot. For some reason mint gives a cooling refreshing feeling so good choice for ice cream on a hot day
I remember using a swamp cooler in Bakersfield ca when it was 115 degrees outside.. needless to say it didn't work that well.. lol 😒😏🙄 Hope your little cooler keeps you cool with the warmer temps..
This is kind of a personal joke. Several times people have told me that the floor vent is dangerous and I’ve responded with this line. Every single time the person has simply stared blankly back at me. It’s always hilarious
@@StaticCamperVan yeah that's important 😊 I don't have a panel on my van. I do however have a jackery 300 and a little panel that hooks to that😇 if I wasn't able to plug into shore power, this winter would have really been something something 😉😇
Dark color cloths soak up and hold heat. White reflects heat and tan is best because it doesn't absorb heat. Thin white bar towels soaked in water very refreshing for hours
Great video we are learning so much ! Yummy ice cream ! My fav is butter pecan ! I love ur videos becuz u show different times of the day like morning afternoon and nite ! Stay safe my friend !
My wife uses one of these coolers. We’ve found that soaking the filter and putting it in the freezer before putting it in the cooler helps a bit more. We do have multiple filters for that purpose.
Scott this is a good video if you in joyed the ice cream that all it matters right I bought a air cooling machine just like you did got mine from Walmart for 19.99 and it didn’t do very much so through it out in joy your coffee cheers have a great week here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
I'm gonna watch the whole thing! I'm from Kauai and whenever a vending machine wouldn't give up the goods we'd give it "the old Kauai kick" and clunk, clunk, clunk, thud there would be your item.
Hehe no way, not in that foil covered trash can, we didn't. And Nixon didn't make a landline phone call to the moon either. And what about the poor guy who was filming the landing and takeoff? LOL Think about it.❤
I stand by my number one tip for staying cool but I realize that might not be an option for you. I went through the good and bad aspects of these air coolers so that you can use that info to help your purchase decisions. This is only the second air cooler I’ve used so I don’t know about any other brands
I subscribed a while back & watched you several times really like your channel 😎 However; today very informational which help me with a few things like your curtains ❤ I'm not on the road yet - but something I've done for really warm days / a white sheet -- spray adhesive -- Mylar blanket -- throw over van Mylar reflects sun off -- of course you don't want it over your solar : )
I've never seen a kettle with no spout!! What a strange design. I would end up burning myself for sure. I've heard that Americans don't tend to use electric kettles much. Coming from the UK a kettle is an essential item 😆
I object to mint chocolate chip ice cream because cold ice cream and the cool sensation mint gives your mouth is too much cold 😊 Not sure if anyone else feels this way.
I don't know about Pickle ball, however I do buy the most beautiful jams and pickles from a lady at the local Farmers Market, she's called Ginni Pickles

Longer cable has more resistance resulting in drawing more power. Getting a thicker gauge cable should help reduce resistance.
Thank you. I appreciate the explanation.
The moon-landing comment buried in the coffee review was top notch. hahaha
Aloha Scott - your sense of humor cracks me up 😂
Oh, I was most serious here. Most serious.

HAHA, Logic.
I love that he qualifies it by saying "back here"...he could still drive while sleeping. 😉
Swamp coolers work well with ice placed in the water tub.... makes the place cool quicker....
Are you saying that you disagree with what I said?

My wife uses one of these coolers. We’ve found that soaking the filter and putting it in the freezer before putting it in the cooler helps a bit more. We do have multiple filters for that purpose.
I do soak the filter but the old one didn’t need a pre-soak. I haven’t found freezing the filter useful as it defrosts in a matter of minutes
Scott this is a good video if you in joyed the ice cream that all it matters right I bought a air cooling machine just like you did got mine from Walmart for 19.99 and it didn’t do very much so through it out in joy your coffee cheers have a great week here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Swamp cooler. Who knew? It wdnt work in Texas tho. Even the middle RGV with a semi-desert climate is wicked humid, every freaking morning. 🙄
That TJ’s mint chocolate chip ice cream is incredible! I loved their vanilla chocolate chip but they stopped making it.
I'm gonna watch the whole thing! I'm from Kauai and whenever a vending machine wouldn't give up the goods we'd give it "the old Kauai kick" and clunk, clunk, clunk, thud there would be your item.
I love mint chip, some brands are delicious
It's not a good idea to let AC blow directly on you. Why would a swamp cooler be different?
I was in the third grade when we landed on the Moon. I believe we did!
Yes, I saw the live video
Hehe no way, not in that foil covered trash can, we didn't. And Nixon didn't make a landline phone call to the moon either. And what about the poor guy who was filming the landing and takeoff? LOL Think about it.❤
My sons favorite ice cream is Mint chocolate chip. I like cherry vanilla and butter pecan.
If you hold the kettle up higher then by the time the water gets to the press the stream is narrower.
I burnt my hand pretty bad trying that once. Without a pour spout, this little kettle is impossible to pour from
Any recommendations for a cooling unit. It'll be my first warm season in a van. I live in Utah. 100 degrees in the summer...
I stand by my number one tip for staying cool but I realize that might not be an option for you.
I went through the good and bad aspects of these air coolers so that you can use that info to help your purchase decisions. This is only the second air cooler I’ve used so I don’t know about any other brands
@@StaticCamperVan thank you
Cool video. 👍
Your calm voice is great.. Very pleasant..
I subscribed a while back & watched you several times
really like your channel 😎
However; today very informational which help me with a few things like your curtains ❤
I'm not on the road yet - but something I've done for really warm days / a white sheet -- spray adhesive -- Mylar blanket -- throw over van Mylar reflects sun off --
of course you don't want it over your solar : )
I've never seen a kettle with no spout!! What a strange design. I would end up burning myself for sure. I've heard that Americans don't tend to use electric kettles much. Coming from the UK a kettle is an essential item 😆
It’s so very odd that we don’t have electric kettles here. But it might have something to do with the difference in our electrical systems
I object to mint chocolate chip ice cream because cold ice cream and the cool sensation mint gives your mouth is too much cold 😊 Not sure if anyone else feels this way.
That’s valid. But also welcome on a hot day
I would think that the longer cable creates more resistance when it comes to electricity flow, drawing more power from the battery.
Thank you
I think we went to the moon. The government said we did and it was on the news and stuff.
Good point
So wad every lying President who said he was the son of Honest Jim
living off grid in the to stay cool try frog toggles or cool downs cloths
I don't know about Pickle ball, however I do buy the most beautiful jams and pickles from a lady at the local Farmers Market, she's called Ginni Pickles
