    Hello family,
    I’m not getting rid of my Van. My Van is my home. I’ll still be doing adventures in my Van. My SUV is my off road, stealth adventure home. My Van is my cozy relax non off road home. Thanks for your continued support 💙.

    I think people take for granted you are prior Army, you are weapon's trained, you have stated more than once that you have "protection" on hand always and that you are a very meticulous researcher when it comes to planning out your trips and every aspect of your van life journey. I think some are of genuine concern, but of course, there are always those haters and others who want to seem like they are so much smarter than everyone else, but haven't done half the things that you have done. And it seems that now that you are starting to really venture off and travel and explore more, there are more people posting negative comments. I knew last year when you talked of your travels this year, that you would eventually make it up North, and I can't wait to follow along on your journey. And if these videos bring about brand sponsorships, then KUDOS to you. I think that's awesome. Safe Travels, Nomi and be blessed on your journey!! 💕🙏🏾

    Nomi for future reference all tires have date code....if you look on the side wall after the letters DOT.....the last 4 numbers encircled is the date in which the tire was made. The first 2 numbers are the week of the year and the next 2 numbers are the year....from what I can see on this video it reads 3018....so those tires were made 30th week of 2018. And your new ones look like 15th week of 2023. I hope this helps you..... tire age is extremely important for your safety. BTW great choice Toyo tires are an excellent brand.

    Do not tale the Dempster highway, it’s far too dangerous because of wildfires. You are entering wild fire country during the height of wildfire season. Literally all of Canada was on fire last year. I am from Canada and have friends in northern BC and the Yukon. The Dalton highway is much safer. ❤ please please look at the wild fire maps before your trip and prep your vehicle for wild fire situations.

I recommend taking a bear aware class - it’s good information and will ease your mind and help you be prepared. I’m an Alaskan (born here and I fish and hike) and ur welcome to ask me questions - anytime. I’m excited to see your reactions to my home 🙂

I’m from Western Canada and have spent a lot of time in bear country and have seen first hand bears rip apart vehicles, all kind of vehicles. 🇨🇦❤️ We had a bear walk right up to our unit put his paws on the side while we were eating inside. Scary as heck. It then proceeded to the tent trailer in the next site and tore it to shreds to get to the food they were foolish enough to store inside the tent trailer.

    To clear things up about Subaru in Nevada Not able to sell me a Subaru…
    A Subaru sales person explained to me that there are certain Subaru franchise owners in America, who signed a contract and agreed that they would not sell Subarus to people if they live more than 250 miles away from the dealership. Not all Subarus dealerships participate in this agreement only certain Subaru franchise owners. Why you may ask. It has something to do with what happened during the pandemic. So the one I went to they were one of the franchises that participated in the agreement to not sell more than 250 miles away from the dealership. So I did more research found a Subaru that I was interested in and the one I found was in Florida. I hope this clears things up. God bless. Have a wonderful day!

    Winter tires or chains are required on most routes in British Columbia from October 1 to April 30. For select highways not located through mountain passes and/or high snowfall areas, tire and chain requirements end March 31. These routes are marked with regulatory signs posted on highways throughout the province.❄️🌨 I advise checking the rest of Canada rules about this online, especially up north if you plane to be here in winter months. ✌️🫶❄️🌨

    Nomi you should also make sure that the shocks, struts and steering system are made for off road travel.
    You don’t want your upper arm control, rack and pinion or steering rods break on you. If any of those break you’ll have no steering control. BE SAFE.

    When going up to the Arctic Circle make sure you check out the Weather Window .. I hear it's pretty tight.
