Washington State has a great State Parks system. Today I headed to Kitsap Memorial State Park to fill up on fresh water and enjoy the area. Kitsap Memorial State Park sits on the Hood Canal near the Olympic Peninsula.
This State park is one of the smaller parks. But it offers day use as well as camping. Since I was here spending the day, I took advantage of the showers. I haven’t had a real hot shower in over five months, so this one was extra enjoyable.
Then as I was working on a small project, a Ranger came over and told me my Discover Pass was expired. I had just purchased the pass last month at an REI. When the REI employee filled out the pass, he not only made a mistake but had almost indecipherable printing. That led the park Ranger the believe my pass was expired.
Luckily, there was an REI store just 15 minutes away. And they happily exchanged my pass with a new pass with legible writing.
Big Thanks to the Silverdale REI for being so nice!

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.

Spent the day in a nice place, had a good breakfast, had a long shower, got a project done, got the pass fixed, and ate a delicious-looking burger. I'd call that a pretty great day. 👍

Well I am officially now a part of your fan club. Watching you talk while you do your van life is like spending time with a mellow friend where I can just listen, nod and smile at the different points and observations you make. I wish it was like that with most people in real time. If you're ever out in South orange county, check out a regional park with a beautiful lake, and many wooded walking trails. It's a real gem in Laguna Niguel. It's worth the trip!

@paulhunter546 Год назад

Hey Scott..if you're going to spend any time in Wash..the Discover Pass is a great deal. It gets you into all state parks for day use..which at $5 - $10 a visit can add up quickly. Also..there are several DNR (Dept of natural resources) campgrounds that you can stay free for up to 7 days. The $35 is a good deal when considering almost every day use area requires it.

@bencuraza6503 Год назад

I’m from another State. Is the $35 for the cost of the Discovery Annual Pass??

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

@@bencuraza6503 yes. There are two ways to pay for access to Washington State Parks. Either $10 for a day pass or $35 for a yearly Discover Pass.

Been home a little over a week from a 10 day stay in Sequim….I wish I had thought of to look about local REI stores….would have been a fun day trip down to Silverdale. Life goal is to visit as many Costcos and REI’s as I can out west. Take yourself and that DISCOVERY pass down to Cape Disappointment SP. The communities of Seaview and Longbeach are so fun….the day use opportunities at cape Disappointment are many and wonderful. The best walking from Beards Hollow on the discovery trail out to the beach for 7 miles on asphalt path. Have Fun.

I miss the bathtub in my house because I could fully fit into it to have a long bath (I’m 5’8”). Unfortunately, the tub in my apartment isn’t quite big enough for me to have a bath. I hope you were kidding about the underwear! 😉 Of course, it doesn’t really matter to me, either way.

Hey Sally. Thank you

@robertphillips93 Год назад

Maybe it's called Static Camperman, but the tips are so dynamic and nuanced. (Or is nuance just a word invented by the thoughtful to describe a contemplated action?) Be that as it may, your observation about the extra morning protein has good clinical evidence to support it. As an important part of the body's mechanism for using and storing blood glucose, it is essential to provide the aminos required for muscle maintenance and growth. More important for anyone over 40, since they've already peaked, muscle mass-wise . . . But there's good news too -- just the addition of 25-40 g of protein to the diet within a couple of hours of normal activity or more vigorous exercise is enough to prevent muscle loss. Even better is more of the same, up to 0.5-1.5 g/Kg (or higher, according to some biochemists) of body weight per day. Another method I've used to safely remove carbon residue from iron pans is scouring with salt. It's almost impossible to remove seasoning, and table grind or kosher gives a choice of "grit". Of course this is performed only on a dry pan that's not too hot -- and you might have to contain spills by doing this in the sink! And Scott, those who insist on B-2-B charging for an auxiliary battery probably don't realise how not-over-engineered modern alternators are -- and how vulnerable are the many on-board computers.

Good Coffee, Good Morning! I did get me some portable panels for my power station and to plug in to my van system and now after seeing how you did it with the Anderson connector I wish I would have thought about that instead of the MC4 branch connectors, there just bulky and not that easy to un-connect for me. Also I went with a Renogy 30 A solar controller/dc to dc charger, I believe I can benefit from a little help from the vehicles charging system, seems to be a good all in one unit at a great price($225).

@StaticCamperVan Год назад

Happy to hear that you have your solar figured out. There’s a tool that makes unclipping the MC4 connectors easy. Or you can always swap them out down the road. The issue with Anderson Connectors is the special crimping tool needed. I generally prefer to avoid specialty tools.

You make my dull Saturday so entertaining! And l also like your salt lamp, looks like a new addition, l have a larger one in my living room windowsill. Is the Discover Pass for a year $32.00. A female part-time RU-vidr nomad is traveling thru Washington State and she is looking for free campsites so l am now in the know, thanks to your informative and educational videos on advising her to buy the Discover Pass if l decide to be one of her subscribers. And l will advise to make sure the person issuing the pass has "passable penmanship". I love the "kinda halfway to where l kinda like to be", sounds like the title of a song on the Top 10 country music chart. Glad the park ranger was in an understanding frame of mind. And sweetie, just a gentle disclaimer, it isn't the universe directing our paths but the Lord God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 11:3 God Bless!

This is very interesting to read. I often mention that the switch to vanlife has led to a dramatic improvement to the quality of my life. The trivial aspects of finding water and managing power are so much easier now than before. It never occurred to me to think about these things as a difficulty before reading your thoughts.

When you pay for the shower I see no problem taking as long as you want.

I was wasting water

I could never go 5 months without a hot shower. I’m sure you are aware, many van lifers join Planet Fitness for $10 a month and can shower at any location across the US. It would be a great investment.

Thanks. Over the years, I’ve changed up what I do for staying clean. I explain in detail why I no longer use gyms in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-twc3UMyEz3A.htmlsi=5eedpZ-uE44Py6An

Wow, people can be awful. I'm sorry they have cursed at you for such a silly thing. I was going to suggest it but only because I saw another van dweller that does it but he travels way more than you. And, my concern is will it cause your alternator to go bad quicker? I wonder that because I'm a gal that has had to replace several alternators over the years. Lol it's not worth that but maybe mine went out because it was a crappy car to begin with because I've had a lot of those. Too many to count. I cringe thinking of car issues. My engine light came on this evening but I believe it's because my exhaust is wired up with a wire hanger ATM. 😅

Yes, working an alternator harder will burn it out faster. That’s a point most people don’t like to discuss.
