Hello and welcome to my channel :) I'm Logan, and in April 2024, I purchased a 1988 Chevrolet G30 Sport Van that had been partially converted by its previous owners. My videos showcase the process of personalizing the van and embarking on adventures across New England and beyond with my cattle dog, Nova!

Solo car camping // mishaps, mud, and a fear of bears, oh my
My van (which is currently housing all of my camping gear) is at the mechanic this week, so Nova and I's latest camping trip consisted of a backpacking stove, a 4-person tent, and a slight fear of bears.

In April 2024 I bought this 1988 Chevrolet G30 Sport Van, already partially converted by previous owners. After a few small modifications, it was ready to hit the road! Follow along as I continue to build out the van into the perfect weekender cabin on wheels (and work on my fear of bears, lol).

My VAN LIFE story (so far)
zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed dnem
This week, van life will step to the side. I've been prioritizing travel over repairs, and it is finally time to send my beloved blue van into the shop. But, before she goes to the mechanic, she gets some last-minute design improvements while I reminisce on my van journey so far.

Back to the mountains
zhlédnutí 2,4KPřed 21 dnem
This weekend, Nova and I packed up the van and headed back into the mountains! To break up the drive, we stayed overnight in the driveway of my good friend Emily, and we all hit the road early the next morning. After hiking about 4.8 miles, we summited Mount Cabot, making a 9.5 mile round trip. Emily and I parted ways, and I headed for the river. After making a quick lunch and relaxing in the h...
A girl, her dog, and a big blue van

Our first official weekend taking out the van! In this video, my dog Nova and I found a secluded campsite in the White Mountains National Forest and set up camp for the night. The next day, we hiked 10 miles up Mount Garfield to enjoy a beautiful view of the Pemigewasset Wilderness.

What a fun video! Glad to see others camping and living in their vans on the East Coast!
@craigmorton321 thank you 😁 the east coast is so underrated in my opinion!
Pro tip: During the day cover your cooler with a sleeping bag, the ice will last a lot longer. How old is Nova, the mellowest heeler I've ever seen.
Ooo great idea! I actually just bought a 12V fridge that I’m hoping I can show off in my next video 🫣 So I might not need a cooler for much longer! Nova is turning 3 next month. Camping makes her a little nervous sometimes because of its unpredictability; you get to see some of her crazy side in my newest video! She’s definitely likes her creature comforts haha
I think I'm gonna like following you. Good cinematography and editing and most importantly you tell a good story well.
Thanks! It’s hard to tell how others will interpret your work, so I’m glad to hear your thoughts :)
Great video! I love your pup! He’s adorable!
Very well narrated
@@SprintSprite-jj2db thank you :)
Hi hello I like ur videos I hope I could exp that kind of happiness
Nice dog
Growing up, my dad had the exact same blue Chevy sport van as you. So many little things that I see in your videos that brings back a flood of memories to me, like the door pulls, the steering wheel, the center console, the little wings to flip the rear windows open, the handles to open the front windows, all the little details. I grew up camping in it in NH on the weekends. It’s so nostalgic to me. Thank you for sharing 🥲
@@chrispoplawski9286 no way! Those sound like sweet memories and it makes me happy that this video brought them back!! I hope to have as many fun adventures in my van as it sounds like you guys did in yours :)
@@loganrosemccarthy looks like you’re on the right track! Keep the videos coming, highly enjoying them
Just subscribed. Enjoyed this peaceful video.
Your simple setup is wonderfully refreshing.
@mycocoaone thanks for your kind comments :) I am glad you enjoyed!!
Super women.
my dream ❤
How do these newer Volkswagens do? Are they money pits or prettily realiable? I ask cause there’s a beautiful one for sale by me & im looking for one right now. But don’t know much about them? If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks and dosage travels.
I only rented the VW van for about a week, so I can’t speak to its long term reliability. In the short term it was great! I recommend bringing the van near you to a trusted mechanic to get their opinion. Best of luck :)
New subscriber here. I look forward to following your journey.
@locd4life707 Hi! Thank you for subscribing :) I am glad you enjoyed the vide

Well done young lady…greetings from down under Australia…stay warm n safe…
Kick ass van. Enjoyable video.
Thank you and thank you 😎

I came across your channel. The classic van caught my attention. It was so pleasant to watch with no noisy background music like other channels and only the sounds of nature. Enjoyed the videography. I am a subscriber now. Thank you.
Thanks for the classic van appreciation 🤩 I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)
Since this 1988 Chevy G30 has the Sport Van nameplate, it was originally a passenger van that seated up to 12 since it's the 125" wheelbase. I'm assuming that this van has the 5.7 liter V8 gasoline engine.
You’re correct about everything! This van used to be a university van for UConn. You can still see the logos on the front doors if you look hard enough! You know your stuff, thanks for sharing :)
@@loganrosemccarthy You're welcome!
I hope to see more videos ! If you put them out consistently you would build up your channel subscribers quickly . By the way , I had a dog like yours when I was a kid , we called them Australian Cattle dogs back then . My dog had one blue eye and one brown and I named him Odin . Stay safe !
Thank you!! Odin is such a cute name for a cattle dog. Cattle dogs are the best!
i had fun watching ur vids,new subs.vaya con Dios
Thanks for watching and subscribing!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :)
Your first real video. And you can't even talk to us. I guess you think all these other people on here is going to sit here and watch you do this without talking. You're a very pretty lady why don't you talk. Do you know how many others just get out here and sell their body here on CZcams.
Nice butt nice voice and cool dog and also cool trick with the rope and leash connected to your tire,my dog loves to explore so im gonna try that to keep him closer to me when he tries to roam off,thanks
❤wow xx
