Don’t forget to leave a question here for us to answer in our upcoming Q&A video! We will do our best to get to all of them! Thanks so much for watching! 😄
Congrats on hitting the road! Relax and enjoy the ride!! My questions: - You mentioned in this video that you are not working full time... do you have part time or work-from-home/Bus jobs that you'll be doing? - How long are you planning to be full-timing in the bus and do you think that the bus (or another rig) would be in your life long term? Regardless of whether you use my questions, I wanted to give you guys HUGE congratulations at finishing your build and to taking the leap out onto the road!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!
Good luck guys! Just remember it wont be all peach’s and cream. Dont let adversity get you down. I did notice the lack of planning ahead for places to stay. You will really need to plan ahead because you are doing what many do and they want those prime spots as well. I learned a lot form. Fuel prices will probably cut that driving down.
Natalie, are you kidding me? Car sick and you're embarking on a road trip journey!!! I hope that it is a short-lived sickness. You may have to figure out a way to be buckled in, a lot closer to Jimmy. Excited to finally see you live out your dreams. The joy is in the journey and take time to stop and smell the roses...or peaches. Continue to watch Number Juan Bus YT channel for inspiration on finding places to adventure. May the Lord watch over you and protect you both.
How will you support the lifestyle? Not a Q. Just from an experienced camper. If have to use extension cord wrap in plastic tarp etc at night. Dew and never know if will rain. Don’t take much to get a short. Very loving couple. Made for each other. Best of luck
This might sound stupid but it works, drink 6 to 8 oz of 100% purple grape juice 1/2 hour before riding and you will not get car sick. You guys did a great job on your build looking forward to more videos of your travel
You all did such an awesome job with this! ♥️ 1 - Is there one place in particular each of you are the most excited to reach or explore? 2 - What initially made you all do bus life? Did you consider Vanlife as well? I absolutely love all your choices in your bus.. 🥰
Love his dry wit. Lol. Seems that you will need to simmer down from all the days of bus work. Remember there’s no rule that you have a have a daily activity. Just hang out!
Haha yes! We are just so excited to do anything that is not the bus build at this point Lol 😂 I’m sure we’ll figure out a good routine soon! 😄 Thanks for watching! ❤️
So glad I found your channel. It really is a breath of fresh air to watch your journey and I love Jimmy’s added humor. Enjoyed the video and look forward to many more.
How is the hidden toilet and shower combo working out......any surprises to date and does the toilet stay in it's hiding place while traveling down the road? Also has the TV survived so far?
Every time I watch your videos, you leave me smiling very hard!! Okay my question (s): 1. Going forward, will you be mapping out an itinerary for the week or month ( where you want to go, stops in between, where to boondock etc.) 2. The shower looked pretty narrow when you built it, how does it feel? Would you do anything differently? How did the sliding toilet make out? 3. Finally, how did the TV fare and did you watch less TV than normally in this 48 hour period? Did your cell service and wifi work? Natalie, you are a brave woman! There is not way in the world that I could stand on that rock! I was scared looking down and I am sitting on my steps, safely drinking my coke, and saying Wow! P.S. When is the wedding??? (very personal and you don't have to answer) Jimmy, you are really doing your thing. You started whipping that bus like a pro. Great job
Thanks so much!! You are the best! And yes! I did not stay like that long on that rock 😂 It was even higher than it looked 😬 And good questions! We will definitely be answering the relationship questions we’ve been getting in the next one! ❤️❤️❤️
Besides the few questions I’ve sent before… the most important: 1. What is the name of your Skoolie?! 2. What region are you starting in, and what other region(s) of the US do you plan to visit first? Congrats on your maiden voyage! Looking forward to future adventures!!
I have a two part question 1) What's the best part of living this life style? 2) What scares you the most? It really looks like y'all are enjoying the ride so far! Just be prepared for something to come up, it usually does! Are you both allergic to the sun! Y'all are whiter than a ghost!!! 🚃 👍 😉 👋 🚃 👋 😉 👍
@@ryanscott2548 In this video we announce that we are doing a Q&A video next week where we answer everyone’s most popular questions. So we’ve asked everyone to leave questions in the comment section of this video so we can answer them next week on camera.
Don't let people like that get under your skin...you just be yourselves and the nice people will stick around and be supportive. You two are such a sweet couple. I'm glad I found you!!!
Natalie! I’ve recently discovered a motion sickness hack… electrical tape. All my father’s family are fishermen and you can get expensive motion sickness patches for behind your ear…. Or stick a piece of electrical tape behind your ear. It totally works. I get sick just being in the car and it works for me! Try to get a little corner actually in the crook of your ear. I think it’s a pressure point but it works 🤷🏻♀️😂
Very cool! I had not heard that but now I’m excited to try! The bus doesn’t give me NEARLY as bad of motion sickness as the car does but it can still get pretty bad… Thanks for watching!! ❤️
I'm excited to watch this adventure! Question for the Q&A: What are your insurance rates like for the bus? Is it similar to what it would be for an RV? Cheers! - Clifton (former Scout-mate Troop 132 😄)
I thought I recognized that channel name! 👋👋 Hope you’re doing well! ⚜️ And good question! I’m excited to see what others have to say when we share our solution to this one because I’m sure we could learn a few things about how to get it better & cheaper.
Now the fun starts. Enjoy the ride to all different and new places. What is over the next hill go find out. well done. MY Question is......What do you all do for work/ Money on the road. I know UA-cam is not a major money maker "yet". Peace love and hippies
Oh goodness! Just found your channel and that peach stand was only 10 miles from our home in SC until we sold it to hit the road! We're full time RVers (3 years in now) and yes, those peach trees were just for "show", basically.... much larger orchard elsewhere. Safe travels and congrats!
Hello you to, so happy to see you guys on the road. Great editing on all the vids, and i watched all the youtube ads in ALL the videos , hope your monetized to i can contribute to diesel costs to keep you two on the road and keep this video updates coming. Would like to see you maybe open a patreon account, i would gladly contribute on a per video basis or a monthly basis to help keep you two going in your adventures. My question to you that you asked for in the video, is how long do you plan on traveling for, and what is your plan to achieve that, like workamping or working from the road, amazon referral links etc.. cheers!! ( Hey people, watch the you tube ads people so they can keep traveling and make some pocket change for fuel costs, let keep them going!!!!! )
Thanks so much!! 😄💚 We really appreciate the support, and it really means a lot to us that you enjoy watching our videos! We have been seriously considering opening a Patreon account soon, so it's really helpful to know that you'd be interested if we did. And thanks for the questions! 😊We look forward to answering them soon!
So anyway you guys answered my question at the end of this video because you were going to talk more about you guys and your backstory and that’s what I’m interested in because you’re just a lovely couple and you’re so funny like always 100%, looking forward to your adventures. God Bless Stay Safe 😉
Where was this Table Rock? Was it near Branson, MO? What are you doing for work? What is the goal of your adventure? Visit all of the states? I am in my third year, living in my travel trailer. Part of the fun of the journey is the day to day planning. When you leave a spot in the morning, and you have no idea where you are headed for your next stop, really is fun.
If you come up the mountains toward Highlands, NC, you are more than welcome to park in our driveway. We have electric hookups and water. Lots of hiking and beautiful waterfalls here. Plus the best weather and temps.
Congratulations on your first 48 hours of adventure on your "home on wheels"!!! I love your sweet personalities and quick wit🤗 As an old grandma who is physically limited, I admire you youngsters getting out and exploring our beautiful country, especially for taking us along with you. Your energy comes through and inspires me.🤩 I pray that you will be safe in your travels🙏🏻 okay, now for a question... Would you mind posting any photos of your wedding to share your happy day with us? I'm looking forward to watching your Q&A video🤙💗🤗 God's Blessings.
Thank you so much for the kind words. ❤️ We’re grateful to have you along for our adventures. 😊 Love your question! We’ll definitely address this in our Q&A! ❤️😄
Thanks! 💚 Table Rock State Park is in northern South Carolina. It's a really cool place, and the hiking trails are great (even though we didn't do any this time)
@@JimmyandNatalie I go hunting in South Carolina on the borderline between North and South I've hunted on both lands a hunting club that is out there they bought a piece of land that is on both sides we literally walk from one state to the other one we're hunting on the North to the South my favorite States
Get yourself a pilotflyingj card. Pilot truck stops and Flying J are one in the same. You accumulate points when making purchases. If you buy your diesel there even better. You can make purchases with those points AND pay for showers. Love your skoolie. It looks amazing. Drive safe, have fun and adventure on!
Congratulations on being full time on the road. I’ve watched several of your build videos and your home really looks nice. You two did a wonderful job. Safe travels and I look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Great job guys and congratulations. Do you plan to travel all over the States or in a specific area? Do you have a timeline associated with your travels?
New subscriber question, beware! Any chance that you can share a map, indicating where you started and your locations as you progress? I am a map person, so it will be a kindness to me! My hiking, camping, and adventure days are limited now by how far I can get with my walker. It is so fun to be taken along with you. Thank you for providing these videos. Love your little bus!
This is a great idea! We have some plans for the remainder of 2021 that might not work well with a live map (which we’ll talk more about in our next video) BUT, that sounds like an awesome idea and we’ll likely incorporate that going forward 😄
Ah to be young and eat whatever you want. If you're interested in expanding your culinary skills I'd suggest Trent & Allie's cookbook. They lived in a van several years and even travel through South America. Her recipes look fabulous and are very vanlife friendly.
We are definitely familiar with Trent & Allie, and loved watching their vanlife travel vlogs! ❤️ We do know how to cook more than just hot dogs and mac & cheese, but we also appreciate having lazy meals sometimes! 😂
@@JimmyandNatalie I'm now 61 and after cooking for a family sooo long I've reverted back to a lot of "lazy" meals too. If you call it comfort food it sounds better. 🤣😂🤣. I'm not critical of your diet (maybe jealous) but sometimes it's nice to find inspiration from another thats lived or living a similar lifestyle.
Plans plans , not outcomes . Sweet couple . Make sure you also allow one another some alone time occasionally . Absence makes the heart grow fonder . ❤️ Back in the day in the orchards farmers always allowed for gleening .
Natalie, There are wrist bands you can get for car sickness. Check pharmacies. They are cheap and work very well. We bought some for each car. Once, my wife and my daughter got car sick and each took 1 band and both were fine. It applies pressure just below the wrist in the center, try it with your thumb, you should get instant relief.
Who knew jimmy was such a savage lol Awesome guys! Can’t wait to see you guys get out of your comfort zones and really push the limits of living in your bus!
Haha you should see him off camera!! 😂😂Totally kidding, he is the best 😄 And thanks! We have some upcoming plans that will definitely be out of our comfort zones... 😬Can't wait!!
Don't know why I got this two days late but it maybe due to being subscribed to over 100 channels ? But OMG your fellow Missourians ! Table Rock Lake is my Favorite ! We use to go every August for a week before the kids went back to School. Would always stay between Indian Point and Kimberling City, Deepest, clearest water I've seen inland ! Glad I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to your travels. ✌️💜🎸 From STL
We were visiting Table Rock in South Carolina, but we’ll have to check out Table Rock Lake in Missouri and see which one we like better! 😄 It sounds like something we wouldn’t want to miss!
Where did you two meet? Did you like each other from the very beginning? Do either of you have siblings? What kind of work do you both do? How will you guys make a living on the road? OK, enough questions! I really enjoyed your first adventures!! Would love to be there! 😁
You and your fellow nomads are inspirations to my wife and I. We are leaning towards a bus that is a little bigger than yours but we will be using your videos when it comes time for demolition. Keep up the good work!
If you add another seat next to the driver seat that may ease your motion sickness Natalie so you can see what is in front of you. Looking at the horizon, telling yourself you'll be alright also helps. :)
Congratulations on the beginning of your nomadic life! The bus looks great! We are so proud of what the two of you have accomplished and that you are living the life you want. The videos are great and always leave me wanting more! I liked that you included the iconic Gaffney water tower peach in the video! The shot of the stars was beautiful, as well as all the nature views.
That was pretty fun... after all, it was obvious both of you were out of your element, a bit, and it created an exhilaration for trying new things... sort of like... being brave.. *ha!
Did you know ginger is good for car sickness. Ginger cordial, here in Australia we have ginger jelly bears. They work for me. The stronger the ginger the better. Best of luck with travelling.
The real Stars of this video are Jimmy & Natalie! First 48hrs the excitement &smiles great hike where you cemented your life’s travels. Just love the hunt for adventure your a trooper Natalie car sick (eat a green apple) allergic to grass oh my can’t swim (not real?) As you get more into this life just a little more planning might help (the Dad in me speaking ) DO IT YOUR WAY!! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
You may be too young to know the reference about the “last day of the season for peaches”. That was also in a Seinfeld episode many years ago, so funny you showed the sign
Congratulations on your build and hitting the road! I've really enjoyed your build series and your sense of humor is refreshing and entertaining. Keep up the great videos. We are just weekenders when it comes to 'van life', but we have enjoyed discovering free campgrounds in the Pacific Northwest....(DNR) Department of Natural Resource lands, (BLM) Bureau of Land Management, National Forests, and (COE) US Army Corps of Engineers. Whatever state you're in, and if your travels take you away from populated cities, I hope you're able to find free campgrounds and dispersed camping where there's plenty of hikes and bodies of water for kayaking. Looking forward to your adventures. Question for your Q&A: What daily chore/s do you find the most annoying on the road, and which chores don't seem to bother you as much as you thought they might?
Thanks! And yes, we are looking forward to trying out some of those free campsite. It’s a little hard to find anything on the east coast so we’ve had to make truck stops and Walmart’s our temporary home for now 😂
Great channel 😁 love the humor (as a former child myself ) 😂 Don’t worry you find all the little mistakes you made as the adventure continues 🤠 FYI check the extension cord for the power see if it’s rated to hold that load 🤔 seems a little small 👍🏻 I have melted extension cords before 🔥
@16:45 Yeah, you're gonna spend a lot of time under there, best prepare yourself for that. :p Getting stuff out of storage and putting it back is going to occupy a significant portion of your time going forward.
What kind of awesome siblings do you have?? And what’s up with the ranch on the sandwich? Btw I LOVE watching yalls videos it always makes me laugh!!❤️
I have a question about the ranch on the sandwhich…. Who was the first to say “hmm…. Let’s try this with ranch” Much love! So excited to see where the road takes y’all!! 💙
Hello guys, I have been watching your channel from the start, i thought that was the best way to do it and omg wow you guys are so talented. I really love this bus conversion and the rope trim was a real cool idea very impressive. I have seen some of your resent videos but i think i will carry on from here. Once again guys i am so impressed with this build you could go professional. good luck with your tour.
There is an App you can get that tells you were you can and cant stay, this may help you, if you have not already got it! the bus looks fantastic too 😊
Congrats on your engagement, bus build completion, and whatever else I may be missing. I'm sure the most asked questions will be, how did you meet? How much was the bus build? And, What are you doing for income on the road? I got my career start designing high end Prevost Coaches - then several years later, worked in design for a major RV manufacturer. It's always interesting watching people build their own, to see how they do it - like the shore power hookup in your recent video. Yup, saw that one coming - lol. I do like your build, and I'm looking at a bus now - hope to get purchased and started soon. looking forward to the next video.
I'm really enjoying your UA-cam I hope you're successful you both are very cute couple! And you have Good vibes which is a good thing enjoy your journey
Don’t forget to leave a question here for us to answer in our upcoming Q&A video! We will do our best to get to all of them! Thanks so much for watching! 😄
@Kathy Hays I believe the app is called iOverlander. That's what we've started using, and it's really helpful!
Need a surge protector for your power
Congrats on hitting the road! Relax and enjoy the ride!!
My questions:
- You mentioned in this video that you are not working full time... do you have part time or work-from-home/Bus jobs that you'll be doing?
- How long are you planning to be full-timing in the bus and do you think that the bus (or another rig) would be in your life long term?
Regardless of whether you use my questions, I wanted to give you guys HUGE congratulations at finishing your build and to taking the leap out onto the road!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing our excitement! It's so cool to finally be on the road! 😄 Also, thanks for leaving such thoughtful questions! 💚💚
Good luck guys! Just remember it wont be all peach’s and cream. Dont let adversity get you down. I did notice the lack of planning ahead for places to stay. You will really need to plan ahead because you are doing what many do and they want those prime spots as well. I learned a lot form. Fuel prices will probably cut that driving down.
I am so glad that you both enjoyed your first 48 hours living in your home, would love to hear your story on how you meet.
Natalie, are you kidding me? Car sick and you're embarking on a road trip journey!!! I hope that it is a short-lived sickness. You may have to figure out a way to be buckled in, a lot closer to Jimmy. Excited to finally see you live out your dreams. The joy is in the journey and take time to stop and smell the roses...or peaches. Continue to watch Number Juan Bus YT channel for inspiration on finding places to adventure. May the Lord watch over you and protect you both.
Haha I can't let that stop me! There's so much more traveling to do!!
laughing at the “…especially if i pushed you…” 😂😂
“As a former kid myself” 🤣 I love that line and will no doubt steal it!
How will you support the lifestyle?
Not a Q. Just from an experienced camper. If have to use extension cord wrap in plastic tarp etc at night. Dew and never know if will rain. Don’t take much to get a short. Very loving couple. Made for each other. Best of luck
This might sound stupid but it works, drink 6 to 8 oz of 100% purple grape juice 1/2 hour before riding and you will not get car sick. You guys did a great job on your build looking forward to more videos of your travel
i'm happy to see you two living life the way you see it. Kudos to you both. good luck
Thank you!! 💚 We really appreciate your support! 😊
You all did such an awesome job with this! ♥️
1 - Is there one place in particular each of you are the most excited to reach or explore?
2 - What initially made you all do bus life?
Did you consider Vanlife as well?

Thanks so much! 💚 Love to hear that you enjoyed the video, and Jimmy's humor! 😂😄
YAY....let the shenanigans begin!!!!
Yes!! Finally! 😂
You guys need to add a full bench seat instead of a single one that way Nat will not get car sick
How is the hidden toilet and shower combo working out......any surprises to date and does the toilet stay in it's hiding place while traveling down the road? Also has the TV survived so far?
Good questions! 💚
I'll be watching the Q and A to see what the answers to these two questions are.....looking forward to it. All the best to you both.
Go, Jimmy...that would be my choice spot for a picnic....just stay off the grass! Natalie to the rescue! She is the WOMAN!!!❤️🙏Jane
Haha yes! I cannot wait to get back to views like that! ❤️
will you guys ever travel to New Mexico?? if so where??? :) love the build!!! so glad you guys are enjoying it!!
Every time I watch your videos, you leave me smiling very hard!! Okay my question (s):
1. Going forward, will you be mapping out an itinerary for the week or month ( where you want to go, stops in between, where to boondock etc.)

3. Finally, how did the TV fare and did you watch less TV than normally in this 48 hour period? Did your cell service and wifi work?

When is the wedding??? (very personal and you don't have to answer) Jimmy, you are really doing your thing. You started whipping that bus like a pro. Great job
Thanks so much!! You are the best!
And yes! I did not stay like that long on that rock 😂 It was even higher than it looked 😬
And good questions! We will definitely be answering the relationship questions we’ve been getting in the next one!
❤️❤️❤️
“I built that shower; I know how it works!” 🤪😊
😂😂😂
So nice too see bus lifers that aren't vegetarian tofu types.....Yay for mac n cheese and hot dogs.....you go kids. Livin the good life for sure.
Besides the few questions I’ve sent before… the most important:
1. What is the name of your Skoolie?!
2. What region are you starting in, and what other region(s) of the US do you plan to visit first?
Congrats on your maiden voyage! Looking forward to future adventures!!
Thanks so much! 😄
And good questions!
You guys are so cute together ,
You balance each other out !
Many blessings from Naples FL
Thank you for taking us on your Trip..
I have a two part question
1) What's the best part of living this life style?
2) What scares you the most?
It really looks like y'all are enjoying the ride so far! Just be prepared for something to come up, it usually does! Are you both allergic to the sun! Y'all are whiter than a ghost!!! 🚃

Thanks so much! 💚 That's very kind of you, and the NC mountains are beautiful!
We are building a bus, too, and really like and enjoyed your build.
The Table Rock area is home for me. Glad you enjoyed it,,,stay safe out there...☮
I am allergic to grass too, Natalie. I am so excited that you are on the road now. I hope you have so much fun!
Thank you!! ❤️ And maybe I’ll have better luck with the western states like Arizona. As I understand it, there’s not much grass out there 😂

Thanks! We're glad to have you along for the ride!!
Just a little thing I do at truck stops. I put in ear plugs that you can pick up at Walmart cheap. Makes for a great night sleep.
New subscriber question, beware! Any chance that you can share a map, indicating where you started and your locations as you progress? I am a map person, so it will be a kindness to me! My hiking, camping, and adventure days are limited now by how far I can get with my walker. It is so fun to be taken along with you. Thank you for providing these videos. Love your little bus!
This is a great idea! We have some plans for the remainder of 2021 that might not work well with a live map (which we’ll talk more about in our next video)
BUT, that sounds like an awesome idea and we’ll likely incorporate that going forward 😄
Smile: First trip of a lifetime. Going down in history. Thank you for another awesome video. Regards
As a grandmother I can see myself putting a rock on the mushroom lol
Any regrets about the build? Like wish a counter was bigger or something like that
Love you guys!! Glad to be starting on your journey with you. Excited to see where your adventure leads. God bless you and keep you safe!💕🙏
Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️ We’re really excited to share this with you guys! We’re still new at this lifestyle so we can go through it together! 😄😄
Ah to be young and eat whatever you want. If you're interested in expanding your culinary skills I'd suggest Trent & Allie's cookbook. They lived in a van several years and even travel through South America. Her recipes look fabulous and are very vanlife friendly.
We are definitely familiar with Trent & Allie, and loved watching their vanlife travel vlogs! ❤️ We do know how to cook more than just hot dogs and mac & cheese, but we also appreciate having lazy meals sometimes! 😂
@@JimmyandNatalie I'm now 61 and after cooking for a family sooo long I've reverted back to a lot of "lazy" meals too. If you call it comfort food it sounds better. 🤣😂🤣. I'm not critical of your diet (maybe jealous) but sometimes it's nice to find inspiration from another thats lived or living a similar lifestyle.
Glad you are finish with your home.
Have Safe Travels & Happy Moments.❤️❤️
Thank you!!
I like how we can see what you're seeing when you're traveling. Good luck.
Enjoyed your video, am glad I found you, and look forward to another adventure with you.
Plans plans , not outcomes .
Sweet couple .
Make sure you also allow one another some alone time occasionally .
Absence makes the heart grow fonder . ❤️
Back in the day in the orchards farmers always allowed for gleening .
Jimmy tells Natalie, I love you but it's not that 12 mile love 😂😂
Natalie, There are wrist bands you can get for car sickness. Check pharmacies. They are cheap and work very well. We bought some for each car. Once, my wife and my daughter got car sick and each took 1 band and both were fine. It applies pressure just below the wrist in the center, try it with your thumb, you should get instant relief.
Who knew jimmy was such a savage lol
Awesome guys! Can’t wait to see you guys get out of your comfort zones and really push the limits of living in your bus!
Haha you should see him off camera!! 😂😂Totally kidding, he is the best 😄
And thanks! We have some upcoming plans that will definitely be out of our comfort zones... 😬Can't wait!!
I’m excited for you guys. Enjoy, you have a million more travels ahead.
Thanks so much! 😄 We can't wait to see what the road has in store for us!
Don't know why I got this two days late but it maybe due to being subscribed to over 100 channels ? But OMG your fellow Missourians ! Table Rock Lake is my Favorite ! We use to go every August for a week before the kids went back to School. Would always stay between Indian Point and Kimberling City, Deepest, clearest water I've seen inland ! Glad I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to your travels. ✌️💜🎸 From STL
We were visiting Table Rock in South Carolina, but we’ll have to check out Table Rock Lake in Missouri and see which one we like better! 😄 It sounds like something we wouldn’t want to miss!
@@JimmyandNatalie It's just outside of Branson Missouri so you have all the shows and entertainment, It's a huge lake. Check it out online ! ✌️💜🎸
Where did you two meet? Did you like each other from the very beginning? Do either of you have siblings? What kind of work do you both do? How will you guys make a living on the road? OK, enough questions! I really enjoyed your first adventures!! Would love to be there! 😁
Love these questions! 💚 Thanks so much!!
You and your fellow nomads are inspirations to my wife and I. We are leaning towards a bus that is a little bigger than yours but we will be using your videos when it comes time for demolition. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! 💚 Good luck to you guys with finding your bus!
If you add another seat next to the driver seat that may ease your motion sickness Natalie so you can see what is in front of you. Looking at the horizon, telling yourself you'll be alright also helps. :)
Great video pals enjoy ur life on the road 👍👍👍🚌🚌🚌
Thanks so much! 😄💚
So happy to see this video, it looks like you guys are thriving! Love it!
Thanks!! 😄❤️
No question, just congrats -- good job hitting the open road!
Thanks David!
Congratulations on the beginning of your nomadic life! The bus looks great! We are so proud of what the two of you have accomplished and that you are living the life you want. The videos are great and always leave me wanting more! I liked that you included the iconic Gaffney water tower peach in the video! The shot of the stars was beautiful, as well as all the nature views.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the sights as much as we did! 😊❤️
Will you guys do a video that’s just a tour of the bus like a Living Big in a Tiny House video?
That was pretty fun... after all, it was obvious both of you were out of your element, a bit, and it created an exhilaration for trying new things... sort of like... being brave.. *ha!
allergic to grass! can totally relate!
It’s not fun is it?! 😂😂
You were only a couple of hours from us.. we are so ready to be on the road.. congratulations
Thank you! 😊 We're so happy to finally be on the road! 💚
Love watching you 2 good entertainment
That's awesome to hear! Thanks!! 😄
Did you know ginger is good for car sickness. Ginger cordial, here in Australia we have ginger jelly bears. They work for me. The stronger the ginger the better. Best of luck with travelling.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try that 😄
I love that you could have a debate about which came first: the mushroom, or the rock. Lol! How fun!
“As a former child myself….” -Natalie 😂 They have such a great back and forth!
@@bsnbbq Yes they do! Lol!
😂😂😂 We didn't really expect to go down such a rabbit hole, but we certainly had fun with it! 💚
@@JimmyandNatalie 😂😂
The real Stars of this video are Jimmy & Natalie! First 48hrs the excitement &smiles great hike where you cemented your life’s travels. Just love the hunt for adventure your a trooper Natalie car sick (eat a green apple) allergic to grass oh my can’t swim (not real?) As you get more into this life just a little more planning might help (the Dad in me speaking ) DO IT YOUR WAY!! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
You may be too young to know the reference about the “last day of the season for peaches”. That was also in a Seinfeld episode many years ago, so funny you showed the sign
I was thinking turning the bus around and have the power outlet closer to the power stand. Cool bus.
thumbs up in support of your channel
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
Good luck with your adventure. We will be following you.
Thanks so much!! And thanks for watching! ❤️
Congratulations on your build and hitting the road! I've really enjoyed your build series and your sense of humor is refreshing and entertaining. Keep up the great videos. We are just weekenders when it comes to 'van life', but we have enjoyed discovering free campgrounds in the Pacific Northwest....(DNR) Department of Natural Resource lands, (BLM) Bureau of Land Management, National Forests, and (COE) US Army Corps of Engineers. Whatever state you're in, and if your travels take you away from populated cities, I hope you're able to find free campgrounds and dispersed camping where there's plenty of hikes and bodies of water for kayaking. Looking forward to your adventures.
Question for your Q&A: What daily chore/s do you find the most annoying on the road, and which chores don't seem to bother you as much as you thought they might?
Thanks! And yes, we are looking forward to trying out some of those free campsite. It’s a little hard to find anything on the east coast so we’ve had to make truck stops and Walmart’s our temporary home for now 😂
Cute couples
Thanks!
Great channel 😁 love the humor (as a former child myself ) 😂
Don’t worry you find all the little mistakes you made as the adventure continues 🤠
FYI check the extension cord for the power see if it’s rated to hold that load 🤔 seems a little small 👍🏻 I have melted extension cords before 🔥
Thanks! Glad you found that funny! 😂😂 And thanks for the advice!
@16:45 Yeah, you're gonna spend a lot of time under there, best prepare yourself for that. :p
Getting stuff out of storage and putting it back is going to occupy a significant portion of your time going forward.
What kind of awesome siblings do you have?? And what’s up with the ranch on the sandwich?
Btw I LOVE watching yalls videos it always makes me laugh!!❤️
😂 Lol, ranch makes turkey sandwiches SO much better! Glad you enjoy watching! ❤️😊
Very sweet, enjoy your travels.
Thanks so much! ☺️
I have a question about the ranch on the sandwhich…. Who was the first to say “hmm…. Let’s try this with ranch”
Much love! So excited to see where the road takes y’all!! 💙
You've gotta try it! 😂😂😂 It's like mayo, but 100x better! 💙
Future plans...? Going to skooliepalooza?!? Would love to meet you there! You guys seem so fun!
Thanks! Good question! 😁 We’ll make sure to answer it in our Q&A! ❤️
Hello guys, I have been watching your channel from the start, i thought that was the best way to do it and omg wow you guys are so talented. I really love this bus conversion and the rope trim was a real cool idea very impressive. I have seen some of your resent videos but i think i will carry on from here. Once again guys i am so impressed with this build you could go professional. good luck with your tour.
I'm stalking all your videos because i LOVE your channel!
Jimmy you should use a surge protector when hooking up to shore power...
I am happy to see you guys and the bus . Where is table rock???
Happy travels😍
I love yall take care an becarfull
Thanks so much for watching!! 💚💚
👍👍 oh yeah and just FYI you can find really good peaches in Fredericksburg Texas if you ever Venture in that direction👍👍
Hey guys, congrats on your adventures to come.It isn't always easy but the rewards are many.Good luck and always think safety first........
There is an App you can get that tells you were you can and cant stay, this may help you, if you have not already got it! the bus looks fantastic too 😊
Yes, iOverlander! We love it, it's super helpful! 😊 Thank you! 💚
As a former child myself lol you two are funny. Im a new subbie so watching from the start.
Sorry about the Peaches. But I sure enjoyed the drive. Thank you for sharing your videos. "Oh yeah". Regards
Congrats on your engagement, bus build completion, and whatever else I may be missing. I'm sure the most asked questions will be, how did you meet? How much was the bus build? And, What are you doing for income on the road? I got my career start designing high end Prevost Coaches - then several years later, worked in design for a major RV manufacturer. It's always interesting watching people build their own, to see how they do it - like the shore power hookup in your recent video. Yup, saw that one coming - lol. I do like your build, and I'm looking at a bus now - hope to get purchased and started soon. looking forward to the next video.
Really good questions! We'll definitely touch on all of those in the Q&A!
And that's awesome! Good luck on your build!! 🚌😄
I'm really enjoying your UA-cam I hope you're successful you both are very cute couple! And you have Good vibes which is a good thing enjoy your journey
Thank you!!
