Today I had the realization that I am a “Snowbird”. I’ve been traveling South from the Pacific Northwest to find better weather. The travels have brought me back to Southern California to visit family as well as finding warmer weather. And since I’m back in SoCal, a trip to Joshua Tree seemed like a good plan.
This BLM area outside Joshua Tree National Park is a convenient place to camp. It is right outside of the park entrance, off the 10 freeway.
While here, I took a walk out into the desert. And I set up my shower enclosure and took a much needed hot shower. Then I made a simple and delicious dinner. All in all, a great day.

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.

Every year I always go to that exact same area and wind down from Quartzsite madness and the RTR, that is an awesome place, and I actually like the view, a mile away, of the Interstate 10 traffic flow at night, the slow river of headlights and taillights, always brings the feeling of: " they are traveling East and West but where am I going in life ?" 😄

I am so happy that you saw your parents and how perceptive of them to gift you with a bag of coffee! You are such a positive influence with your happy and laid back persona and your great sense of humor. You inspire me to look at the glass half full as opposed to half empty.

It's funny the life experiences you have that train you for van life. I've been doing outpatient hospice nursing the past almost 3 years. I'm out in the world 10 hours a day and in between patients I find places to park and chart, or even take a nap for my lunch hour. If I were to keep my van in my home town, I'd never be at a loss of where to park. That said, it gives me a great idea for other places, and I also know I can be comfortable in my car for hours. I'm honestly more skeeved out about staying in the middle of nowhere than I am in a city (though not the huge ones, no LA or NY for me thanks). All of this is percolating in my brain while I am willingly stuck here taking care of my mother. I don't wish her dead at all, but when she does go, I'm out. Perhaps while I'm still young enough to do travel nursing, perhaps not. I think I'm around the same age as you, and just working on my health and gathering all the wisdom I can like a little sponge so I'll be ready. If it's while I can still do travel nursing, your rig will be absolutely perfect. Needs to be small enough to still do OP nursing, but large enough to live OUT of. I've been watching your vids over the last couple of days (as I am sure you can tell with all my obsessive comments lol) and they've been SO helpful. Thank you and all the best!

@saavedramarcelo Год назад

We camped at the Cottonwood Campground on Tuesday April 4th. I thought the same thing when driving up the big hill, traffic In the middle of nowhere? and it was a Tuesday! I figure it was because it becomes a 2 lane from a 4 lane, and also big trucks going slow and trying to pass each other. We live in San Fernando Valley and work from home so luckily not to much driving for us. But when I do, I'm working on trying not being anxious and afraid that somebody will hit me. It's getting better. Regards.

I’m out of Yellow Bird Serrano Condiment! Buy and eat what tastes and seems right to you, until/unless it doesn’t anymore! You are responsible for introducing me to that tasty, spicy sauce, but I can’t find it locally. (I had purchased my previous one bottle from an online grocer, which I quit being a member of.) When I find some, I’m gonna get some for sure! Please ignore trolls. They’re *real.* Sometimes I can sound kind of harsh because this is just text, but I don’t dislike you! You’re a thinker, one who ponders subjects great and small, and are perceptive, too. There are people so toxic that they look for others to jab with their nastiness. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but it’s real. You put yourself out in front of the camera and it’s just essential that those who are doing that develop good sense about determining the difference between constructive criticism, random commentary, and super toxic people trying to get to your emotions and wound them *because they enjoy doing so.* 😳 Of course, I don’t do what you do so it’s easier said than done! I dumped Patreon because of their manipulation of some of my subscriptions through their platform, but I still watch here and “thumbs up” everything. (Dairy has far fewer antinutrients than grain-based beverages, with essential fatty acids and proteins, too. Glad you’re feeling better with dairy.) Yay, Scott! ☮️❤️🐾

My Wife and I love Yellowbird Serrano, I've been buying six 19.6oz bottles at once directly from Yellowbird for 60.00 total including shipping so it was 10 bucks per. Price has gone to 16.00 per bottle now and now that doesn't include shipping so we're now at about 20 bucks per. I've come up with a close substitute. A 16 bottle of Victoria medium heat green salsa Verde put in the mini blender for about 2 seconds and add 2 or 3 tablespoons of Melinda's green sauce ( has green tomatoes, jalapeños, spinach, cilantro and garlic) to it. So I'm making about 17oz of faux Yellowbird for less than 3 bucks. Next batch I'll add a little green chillies to it.

great vid. I think the aeropress cleans up a lot more easily than the french press but I find the coffee too strong - I need to take some time to do what you've done and find out how much water to add at the end. what was in that coffee? it looked interesting texture and made quite a sound as you poured it into the aeropress, was it just very coarse ground? and whoever gave you the idea for that shower - that's amazing!

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

There are a number of recipes here on RU-vid for AeroPress brewing. Changing up how you brew can make a dramatic difference in the final cup. For instance, AeroPress recommends a two minute brew time where I use a 4 minute brew. Nothing was in the coffee I brewed. My microphone can accentuate some sounds. Generally I grind my coffee a little finer for an AeroPress brew.

That's why I prefer it. @JTCoffee has a couple of single origin beans, so you may want to check that out.

@FrugalPandaTravels Год назад

I have Falken All terrains and have them currently on my SUV but I have had on my Ram trucks. I drive in all kinds of snow and rain as well as off-road in Colorado and all over. But if going for all season tires (no summer tire) need top of the line like Michelin p, firestones or Goodyear especially with a front wheel drive vehicle. I would go with all terrains with mud + snow symbol on that van it will be a lot more sure footed on light off-roading. Falken all terrains have less road noise than other AT tires, but I’ve driven in a couple of feet of snow with ease.

@thizizliz Год назад

It's been a weird winter - cold, but when it's freezing, no precip. When there's precip, it's too warm for snow, so my weeds are taking off like I was in the Midwest! Crazy.

Oh please don’t buy it from eBay, that’s outrageous! Regular price for the 19.6 oz bottle I bought was $9. Yellowbird makes several flavors. My favorite is the Serrano.

I did walk way down to the West a couple of times. But I parked close to Cottonwood to stay on the legal area. It’s far to get to the next legal spot to the west. I also watch the 14 day rule since I’ve had a number of people tell me that they are waiting for any reason to turn me in. Haha

@@StaticCamperVan I don't know where the boundary is as Ive seen no signs indicating where the line is. I have parked as far as the western edge of that flat topped sand hill/dune with no worries. The rangers have come by several times and no problem.

You can get a map or view the areas on an app. I prefer using an app that works off GPS.

It's been awhile since you made your homemade taco shells.

Yes. I have found Trader Joe’s is much less expensive versus making my own. I should make some for practice sake though

That dampness in the NW seems colder at 20 than when it is low humidity at 20.

0 degrees C is the freezing temp of water. I'd say its safe to assume THATS COLD! People who say its not must have anti-freeze in their veins... and brains.

That area really is awesome! Hope you also got to enjoy the park! :) Not sure if you're at all interested in Baja, but... if you're going there, pls hit me up! There's also a rather big van meetup happening soonish.. :)

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Baja would be a dream. Not sure when I will be able to go, though. Hope your travels are as awesome as they look.

@@StaticCamperVan I really hope you can fulfill that dream some time soon! It´s not always easy here, but we never felt unsafe. I bet it's nothing you would have any troubles navigating! :)

Hi, I always wondered have you ever encountered with bear and how do you stay safe from bear when you are camping in your car? Much appreciated from Australia 🙏🙏🙏

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

The only bear encounter’s I’ve had were way back when I was a kid while camping in Yosemite. These days I don’t get very far into the backcountry. So bear sightings are rare.

Does pink salt taste the same as regular salt? I generally get low sodium salt. Never tried pink.

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Yes, Pink Salt is regular sea salt, in a sense. It has lots of minerals but no real difference in flavor

I just googled it and yellow bird serrano hot sauce is sold at REI. that’s very strange to me. Is that true?

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Yes, I’ve actually mentioned that several times in the past. REI sells 2oz travel sized bottles. It’s a good way to try out Yellowbird without committing to a full size bottle. Also REI sells seasonal flavors of Yellowbird, most stores do not.

⚠️Scott, RU-vid is doing a huge disservice to its channel creators: nevermind zero notifications, I haven't even seen one of your videos pop up on my feed for ages and I'm subscribed with the bell! This isn't the first video that this is happened to me this week, and I realize there's a bunch more - for some reason all the camping and Van life channels that I'm subscribed to!!! PS: even worse, I just went to double-check that I have the bail and somehow I have been I'm subscribed! I've heard of this happening, in just a couple of days ago in another video I was watching, remember we're saying they discovered they'd been unsubscribed 😠😢 The first part of my post still stands, because there are many channels that have disappeared from my feed!

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Sorry to hear that. It’s pretty common, unfortunately. The only thing that I could think to do was to commit to having a video every Saturday. I also set up a Playlist with all of my videos so that you can scroll down through to see if you have missed a video: ru-vid.com/group/PL9PWzpL1cZIHAST4lDsBmmENA2Dil_tRh
