So much energy, brilliant! As someone who wild-camps in a tent in the winter in the mountains, wearing lots of layers is actually not very efficient heat-wise, wool layers next to skin are best so I'd suggest some merino wool base layers as they feel lovely next to skin and are also heat and moisture regulating, then just cover yourself in as much down duvet as necessary, but wearing lots of layers can mean you're not getting the full effect of the down duvet.
You're also right about moving, it lets in cold air so when I'm in my tent I've basically completely stopped wriggling in my sleeping bag, I find the less I move the easier it is to stay warm.
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy josie so missed you!!! saw the vid on ads adventures and there is def chemistry :) hope you have a great xmas and look forward to seeing more adventures in 2023 :) x
Oh awesome, yeah he's a great guy! Chemistry? Hahaha It is acceptable for males and females to be friends too ;) Thank you very much you too! And defiently start kick ass in the New Year!
Glad to see you’ve started the crafter conversion & looking forward to more of your adventures 😊 in the mean time I’m taking my transit custom to the Wye valley & Forest of Dean this week for a few days and who no,s u might have inspired me to put some footage on UA-cam of my adventures🙈 any way glad to see your back and creating content and I’m sure many others are too!
I also saw you on Adz channel and liked your energy. Unfortunately, pugs had their tails docked before it was made unlawful. I spend winter in southern Portugal in my 5th wheeler. The north can get cold in winter. A great country with great people.
Hi Josie may, watched your video for the first time.....i'm impressed, my xlxb van is nearly done. I have my home so i will not be a fulltimer. You have a lot of bottle doing this as a solo female, Well for anyone doing this, alone...including myself. When i parked up near the beach and saw three pods of dolphins and their young the feeling was incedible and i knew i had to do this as often as i could. Massive respect... Just subsrcibed to your channel. Hope you stay safe and look forward to following you on you journey. David.xx
I am glad you enjoyed :) I also have my flat so I am not full-time. Anyone can do anything if you put your mind to it! Exactly that, lovely natural experiences like that make it so worth it! Thank you!
Great video again. So looking forward to seeing what you do with your van over time. Condensation will be a big issue at this time of year but make sure you have some ventilation too as that is important, not just for condensation but for the CO2 that you breathe.
Thank you! I';m looking forward to also just relaxing and enjoying my time now! Condensation has mind of its own. I leave my windows open enough. Less rushed videos coming soon! :)
Watching this in bed with exactly the same setup as you.. even the hat and fleece hoodie... pair of double duvets and throws. Even ordered a fleece last week to lay on the same as u have. Great Vida.. look forward to seeing the next one!! ✌️😎
Lucky girl … be sure to go to my home city when you are in Portugal the city of Oporto 🙂. Beautiful place and at night if you like lights it’s stunning !! Hopefully one day I can go back home or at least van life if about like you 😊
The handle should have a rubber mat behind it as mine did the same on my vauxhall movano, I just replaced the full handle as it comes with a new one. Hope that helps
Hiya loving your videos well jealous haha.. which part of the uk are you in? I'm usually t4 ing it around Anglesey in Wales!! If you ever get chance go it's cool!!
Hi Josie,the new van is going to be great for your adventures.You should really consider getting a diesel heater fitted before your euro trip.Liam the terrible is a youtuber and Im sure he could get one fitted fast before you leave.The difference between cold or great memories.👍
@@JosieMay26 if you have no one handy in the family with DIY he is your man. I'll be getting him when I get my bigger van. Happy Christmas and New year.
Hey, I am a 16-year-old who is doing an EPQ on the topic of Van Life. This project will be submitted in the form of a short documentary, where I will be exploring how van life is presented by social media and how this differs from the realities of it. For this I was hoping to interview a couple of van lifers as they have experienced the lifestyle first hand. If being one of these people interests you, please let me know, if not that is completely ok. I was also wondering if you have any contacts with other van lifers who would be open to doing something like this. Thanks, I hope to be hearing from you soon.
The lights look pretty, but lets not forget they say we are in an energy crisis & people are struggling to afford basic electricity and gas.. yet somehow there are all these lights using up energy.. bit ridiculous no?
Hope you're doing well Josie. Good to see ya back. Yes it's getting f'ing cold, gonna be minus 1,2's n 3's this week so wrap up warm & get a heater on. You all ready for Crimbo? Take care dude & have a good one ✌🏼❤️🎅🎄☃️🎁🧑🎄🌹
This has to be the worst edited video I have seen in my life. With that said, that train lit up with the Christmas lights was so cool! I live in America and none of our trains have lights like that. If anyone ever puts me in charge of this dump I am ordering more festive lights.
Well thanks for your input.. Well I'm glad you enjoyed the train of lights. Ps, I am just learning and I can only get better. But most importantly I enjoy myself.
Came here from Adz channel. Love your energy
Oh awesome, heeey! Thank you!

Looking forward to the trip you go on in a couple of weeks and seeing your travels in the van Josie! You are so down to earth to watch, it's great 😊
Great video, keep them coming. Saw you on Adz adventures, great to see 2 of my favourite youtubers in one video a big bonus

Van sleeps are the best!
Can’t beat it! 😅
Deisel heater comes to mind !
Your cockpit looks very roomy ...

To keep warm, you should replace the cotton clothing with wool clothing, it is much better at keeping the heat.
Good point, thank you! :D

I had the same issue with my van there should be a flat bit of rubber sealing the door handle. Hope this helps 🙂
Hi thank you, I will check this out!

The crafter is coming along real nice . How long is that bed? I can't decide between a crafter or merc for my upgrade
Thank you, it’s 6ft I believe! They are essentially the same, choice is yours!
Good luck! 🚐

Where are you?
Hey
Someone needs a douvanator 🥶.
Very True!! :P @AdzVentures
What's with the zip tied cable in the cab?
With what sorry?
Look at that view “VUE”, was that intentional when you were driving past the cinema, and a nice view at the same time? 😂😂😂
Yes it was indeed an intentional poor pun from me here! Haha
What is Eddie's Ebay?
Not listen anymore! 😃
The lights look pretty, but lets not forget they say we are in an energy crisis & people are struggling to afford basic electricity and gas.. yet somehow there are all these lights using up energy.. bit ridiculous no?
Ive always wanted to live in a van or somethin but the theory test is tellin me i will never be allowed 😂😂
Just keep pursuing it and you will get there eventually! I have faith you can do it!
@@JosieMay26 aww thankyou
Hope you're doing well Josie. Good to see ya back. Yes it's getting f'ing cold, gonna be minus 1,2's n 3's this week so wrap up warm & get a heater on. You all ready for Crimbo? Take care dude & have a good one ✌🏼❤️🎅🎄☃️🎁🧑🎄🌹
Thank you! Yeah need to get heating sorted asap! Haha hopefully! Thank you, and you!
I think she might be crazy. It's a good type of crazy though I think.
Hahaha, I am indeed a crazy one at times... all the time! :P
I think your supposed to go sleep with as little layers as possible then layer up if you get cold during the night if your cold
I am always cold so I need to layer up to prevent getting cold! :D
How much was the van
I have been there before and maybe one day in future, Teignmouth is just difficult to park overnight :)
Head to the Scottish borders
I will do in the New Year when I am back from Europe :)
Let me know!
