In an effort to be more self sufficient, I have been cutting my own hair. And today is the day to tackle being a barber again. I’ve come here to Big River Estuary State Marine Conservation Area in Mendocino California. This is a beautiful area surrounded not only by the river but also the ocean and redwood trees. After my somewhat successful haircut, we take a walk out the the ocean and check out the sea caves. Then we walk up through the redwoods to get a good look at the beautiful blue-green color of Big River below. Then we drove up to Fort Bragg and get dinner started.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

Hey Scott, one more thing...about showers. In my highboy Leer campershell, I sit on my 3 wedge foam thingies made into a chair, put a contractor's black plastic bag over me, and under me. I shower with a small garden sprayer of warm water, and the water empties into a collapsible basin. Easy peasy. I stay warm, got privacy and use minimal water. Towel dry and dress. It's amazing what one can do in a tiny space!

@judybeatty8044 Год назад

I use a sheet clipped to the open rear doors of my (full sized) Promaster. It gets wet when I use the Nemo solar shower on a windy day but it dries quickly and folds small when not in use. Your tarp creates a whole new room! The stuff we use to live in a van..!

@JR-playlists Год назад

Hi, you can consider gifting the shower room to a goodwill and while you're there, look for a device called a flowbee. The flowbee is the most foolproof way of cutting your own hair on a budget. The only downside in a vanlife application is the vacuum requirement, but if you have a vacuum, it would be a golden solution. When howler moneys can fly.........to Canada!

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

I haven’t owned a vacuum in over nine years

@dinrobinson5132 Год назад

Enjoying your sense of humour Scott, I'm howling at your Howler monkey crack! Also I googled "Mujer" since you were having trouble with that coffee, and no wonder! Mujer means women in spanish, so you were drinking women's coffee. You'll have to let your hair grow long if you want to have it again. :)

@clarkleakins879 Год назад

Return the tarp to HF, they should exchange if you have the receipt. Although the method which you are utilizing, it seems like you don't really require that specific grommet. You don't have a bag style solar shower? I find that style very compact and useful. Alternative, buy a 1 gallon collapsible water jug. Put it on the roof above your shower area, set in sun for a while Short length of tube attached to the spout, cap with small holes, and you are set! Seek out a barber/beautician school for reasonable hair cut/styling.

I’m not a fan of the bag showers. They are hard to get fully dried out between uses and tend to grow mold.

It won't be fun at first, but what do you "need" it for ? I personally do Matcha in the morning these days. Visit me in Redwood City when you come through town. Love the area just outside Lone Pine, but sadly have not been in quite a while. Stay safe!
