#vanlife
As a french Quebecois myself, i cant thank you enough for your channel. You're inspiring us with our new lifestyle with our van! See you on the road
Fun to watch you get ready to go. I love getting our van packed. Your whole Christmas tree setup process reminded me of Chevy Chase in “Christmas Vacation.” 🤣 Have to watch that every year!
Hahaha it’s the best Christmas movie and what we watch when we decorate the tree every year!
Been some time for me on UA-cam catching up is my winter hobby. My work slows wayyy down
Haha plenty of vids!! Happy New Year John!
You can always tell the "real" emotions from the 2 of you and its so real (Ive previously talked about yalls food experiences and how real yall are.). Kevin - Cuts his finger open with a rusted up saw. NO BIG DEAL. Doesnt realize he could die from gangrene laughs about it. LOL. Taylor - Talks about how annoyed she is yall had to go back twice. Just keeps hacking away at that DAMN STUPID seatbelt that keeps locking. So good to watch actual wholesome content. Thank you! :D
Love this and thank you! I remember the comment! We try to keep it real! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Ps. We did end up getting hydrogen peroxide just in case of that rust haha!
Currently running the corporate rat race and the videos you guys put out provide some great escapism. Honestly I’m jealous and wish I had that freedom myself. Rooting for your channel big time. Keep going!
Todd, really appreciate this!! It’s only been 13 months since I left corporate so I hear ya. But the good news is if we can do it so can you!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
You did us proud by first stopping at Tim's for a double double!! Cheers guys! Have fun!!
Haha cheers 🇨🇦! thank you!!!!
Enjoy your trip to Canada. Funny about the tree, can you say measuring tape. Lol. Plus a few more things to add to your ready list.
haha didn't account for the tree stand!!
Another great video... Thanks 🙏
Thank you!!!
Love seeing you both back in the van . Can’t wait for next vlog. Congratulations on your New Nephew xxx
Thank you Michelle!!! Quebec City’s Christmas market is so nice can’t wait to share it!
Wishing you and all your families a happy and healthy Christmas !
Thank you Vince same to you!
Love you guys! I live in Montreal and I am in the process of converting my Sprinter and your videos are just a great great inspiration. I really hope you enjoyed Quebec, can't wait for the next episode!
Thank you!!! Quebec was amazing!!!! It’ll be live Tuesday!
If you do go Montreal then Toronto, stop in and spend a few days in Ottawa…beautiful city…have a beaver tail on the canal if it is frozen enough to skate. Enjoy you your trip
aghhhh! unfortunately we didn't get a beavertail 😟👎 thank you!!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Bill!!
Happy Travel Kevin & Taylor.
Thank you!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
We have Tim Horton is Scotland. 3km from my house and I've never been. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022
It’s very popular in Canada!!! Merry Christmas!
17 degrees, no thank you!!! Glad to see you guys gettin a van trip in, even though that is so far from our ideal vanning weather!! Stay warm friends!
Haha we may be heading to Colorado for some skiing if your looking to get cold 🥶🥶🥶
@@MathersOnTheMap that's gonna be a hard pass!
😥 come on! Ya work at a ski shop!
Make a stop in Belleville Ont. half way between Toronto and Montreal. We have some great donuts here.
Aghhh we passed through Belleville Jeff but didn’t explore the area unfortunately!
Ouch, I have done that the same way on a Christmas tree because you have no good way to secure the tree. A ragged cut so it heals a bit slower and hurts more than normal. Taylor is excited about the trip. not a bad spot to park and sleep.
Have Fun,
Right!!! Luckily it wasn't too bad of a cut! Thanks for watching, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
i hope you will have a beautiful travel. J'habite près de Montréal. Vous allez aimer la ville de Québec. Take care!
Merci Mathieulas! We loved Quebec City!
guys when you are in Montreal you must try the bagels from st. venture till next time ;)
Agh we missed it 🤕 already moved on from Montreal
Great show thank you
We are laughing so hard right now! We do the same thing and stop at Tim Horton's as soon as whenever we cross into Canada. Plus, growing up going to church with the Cathey's, Chick-fil-A founders, we are devoted patrons at home and while traveling. Our good fiends in Toronto laugh at us saying TH is just ok and they love the coffee at McDonalds and Dunkin. But, TH has donuts and hot cafe items, so I guess it's all about the novelty of what you only get to visit while traveling. It's been a while, but we love the areas in this video winter or summer. Christmas markets are a bonus. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that's crazy you know the founders! I would think TH donuts everyday with a cup of coffee would get old fast! You would lose the sweet tooth!
Timmy's is not even close to Wawa.
The Christmas tree part was funny! 😂 how do you keep your pipes and faucets from freezing? Do you leave the heater run constantly?
Haha thank you! Yep!! Our espar heater is constantly on!!
that not fair-i want one of those apple fritters an bear claws/ apple fritters are my favorite /an bear claws are my second favorite/be careful on the snowy roads /what coffee drink do each of yaw like/thanks much
haha! just a quick drive to Canada Ron and you can find a Tim Hortons fast! Taylor loves Vanilla Latte's, I (Kevin) do not drink coffee believe it or not!
Hey you’re headed to my city!
Toronto! Can’t wait to see you here! 😁
Thanks Maria!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
next time then ;)
That is a handy dandy tree stand! Mine sucks. From?
Swivel straight!
Bienvenue au Québec,
I hope you had a good time in Québec city and Montréal
Merci Stephane!!!! Merry Christmas!
Double double at Tim’s- two cream, two sugar.
Haha we learned the hard way!
You guys are awesome, my sister and I would like to meet you both when you are in Toronto, please let us know where can we come and say hi to you. --- About the Tim Hortons, that was funny when you were saying 2/2 lol - It was double double - basically two cream and two sugar or triple triple (three cream and three sugar) ..... Love from Toronto....
Thank you so much Gurpreet! Unfortunately we already left Toronto and on our way back home! Haha Tim Hortons was good to us and now we know the double double!
Belle ville Québec ont habite là
Curious how well the foam pipe insulation will do in keeping the pipes from freezing. I have a ski trip coming up and would like to use my system vs. water jugs inside the galley area. I know you went skiing last year. Is this the same preventative prep? Thanks
We had less insulation during the ski trip but we always had the heater running if it was below 32° when we weren’t driving!
Tims used to be really good … not so much now. There is a local donut shop in Hamilton, Ontario that uses the original Tim Horton recipes. They are GOOD.
That sounds delicious I wish we had a chance to try it! Happy New Year Joanne!
I live near Quebec City! I followed your built project from its beginning, there may be a time difference between the time you were in Quebec City and the time you broadcasted your video: where are you as of december 12?
Quebec City is beautiful!! We just left Montreal heading west!!
sap is a good anti-septic.
Oh really?! That is good to know!!
Random question: what kind of xmas tree stand is that? Lol
I want to know too!😁
It’s called swivel straight! Pretty solid I’d recommend
Nice video. I have been thinking about winter travel and am wondering what to do about my two gray water tanks under the van- like making sure the water doesn't freeze in the tanks or drain valves. How are you guys handling this, any issues?
There are heating pads for the tanks but we didn't think we would travel in the winter the way we are doing when we built/designed the van so we don't have them. We did install a 3 way ball valve though so when it's below freezing for a long time and we need to use the sink we can bypass the tank (not the best I know). We try to go to gyms for showers during the winter especially since finding water is significantly harder...hope that helps!
What navigation app was that on your phone?
Good maps!
@@MathersOnTheMap I googled it and not able to find.
We have a real fake tree
woah how's that work?!
