    After a long 4 months of this VAN LIFE BUILD project we finally have enough electricity, water and other essentials in place to put our new tiny home on wheels to the off-grid test. We head 3 hours north of Toronto to explore some of Canada's most stunning wilderness. But, of course, van life has it's highs and lows, and relearning how to find stealth camping spots presents us with our first van challenge. Sorry again to the kind gentleman who we accidentally trespassed on his property 😅. We then realize our electrical system really isn't complete without our solar panels and we're limited on how long we can camp out off-grid. No one say van life is easy but nothing good comes easy... amiright?

    How Did We Get Here?
    Abandoning our Van in Africa bit.ly/2Kff0HT
    After an incredible 3 years of living, working, and traveling in our self converted Sprinter Van we made the very tough decision to abandon it in Africa to take a rescue flight back to Canada. As it has for all of us this global pandemic has flipped our world upside down. When our Prime Minister announced that he was sending repatriation flights over to Africa to pick up Canadians who were stuck (due to border closures) we consulted with friends and family closest to us and realized that in this time of crisis we should be back in our home country. Halting our dream of driving around the world was a hard pill to swallow which is why we knew we needed a big project to keep our mind + body busy while social distancing back here in Toronto. Enter building an off-grid tiny house on wheels!! This is going to be our 3rd time converting an empty cargo van into a campervan and we are both excited and nervous to take on this project. We want this build to be the ULTIMATE OFF-GRID VAN 🚐

    Eamon and Bec. I just wanted to let you know what a difference your making. I’m a 19 year old full time college student working 50+ hours a week between my 2 jobs and living independently. Sometimes it’s overwhelming. Especially on Sunday’s because I work doubles. But you have no idea how excited I get when I go on break at my first job and see that you’ve uploaded another video. I spend my 30 minute break watching every second. Your positivity and lifestyle inspire and motivate me. I look forward to every upload. Thankyou for everything you do!!

    Hey guys, love your videos! Just wanted to say please don’t chop down live trees for fires unless it’s an emergency. I’m not one to poo poo or critic others experience but our public lands are super important and we need to all take care of them. Many public lands here in the US have been trashed and vandalized by people during COVID. We need to all promote ethical outdoor behavior so others can follow suit. I know it’s just one tree but the these public areas have had an influx of people and if everyone did it we would have less beautiful places to enjoy. Again I’m not trying to be negative I’m just very protective of being environmentally conscious. Enjoy your travels and love to you both from Wisconsin ❤️

    Hi Eamon and Bec! My boyfriend David and I love your guys’ content - we’re avid campers & adventurers of Ontario’s nature as well, also from Toronto. Along with everyone else in these comments, I’m super concerned about how you removed wood from the forest for fuel. Regardless of whether you have a fuelwood permit, it’s extremely harmful to ecosystems to remove any kind of wood from forests. Dead wood, or living saplings. Many small and vital critters and plants make dead wood their homes, and removing it can seriously disturb the eco system. Please consider preparing and bringing firewood or purchasing it along the drive - so many small farms in ontario sell it for cheap!!! At the very least, please don’t include this in future videos. It is not good practice and you have to recognize you two have an influential platform here. Please be considerate of our amazing Canadian backyard 🤍

I understand that collecting wood from forests on a small scale is not going to detrimentally affect an ecosystem :-) moreso just trying to share my thoughts and encourage consideration to nature. Sorry my comment bugged you! Was not trying to hate on Eamon and Bec, and tried to be kind in my delivery. I also was not encouraging brining in wood from far away - I said local :)

      K R yes, exactly, they’re setting a terrible example. I have forest service friends who’ve said there’s more destruction of forests by campers this year than they’ve ever seen by far. So many new campers, and not enough education about natural consequences over time. Hope they post an apology and correction soon!

      @@KayRay1966 so strongly agree I was shocked, there are so many conservationists struggling to discourage this kind of behavior at the moment. Everyone should enjoy camping but keep it clean, keep on trail.

      They used dead trees, which is legal, most of the time. You can get a fuelwood permit to cut down dead+live trees for personal use on crown land. Basically the rules are different in every little jurisdiction/area and you're best bet is to contact the MNR beforehand to make sure you're all good for what you want to do. They most likely are fine, and at worst it was a minor infraction. You can use trees like that on Crown land, it is not "completely illegal".
