LITTLE CABIN IN THE YUKON
When I'm not traveling in an RV or at home working on an RV, I'm usually at our remote, off grid log cabin in the Yukon. My husband and I have had this cabin for over 20 years and love it. If you'd like a look into that part of my life, I have a channel showing how we live there, lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife. So much of what I learned living off grid at the cabin has come in handy living in an off grid RV! The link is here-

Super glad to know about the baby powder!
It really does work so well! And cheap!!
I learned to do a large bucket (warm water) head wash and then body wash in Ecuador when needed. Lots more info here... Great video, thanks!
That’s cool! That’s how I wash my hair at our off grid cabin! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!😁
I use the usb showers they are great. Kitty being needy 😂 Strip down give yourself a quirt😂 Those cloths sound cool. Im gonna have to give that a try. I never knew about the baby powder on the hair. Naked in the rain is always fun 😂
I haven't tried the usb showers, but I'll take your word for it! Yes, Gracie decides when she wants attention and she is very obvious about it! lol! As I said in the video, I LOVE Norwex cloths. I've saved so much on not having to buy cleansers for the house or any kind of facial cleansers. Dancing in the rain can be a hoot! Especially in your birthday suit! As long as it's summer, lol! Otherwise it's too cold!
I'm with you about the dry shampoos.
Hi Carolyn! Yes, they are not nice. My hair feels kind of waxy after I use them. The powder leaves it soft and clean! Do you remember a product from back in the 70's called Pssst? It was the first real dry shampoo ion an aerosol can. It was powder. Not some gunky chemicals. Wish they still made it!
Lots of great info, Sue, but never expected less from you. Was framing in Utah and used baby wipes daily, and heated water for shower once a week or so when really grimy, while in small truck camper. Thanks for your experience
What did we do before baby wipes!!?? lol! It was the one 'luxury' I allowed myself when I started having babies. I used cloth diapers for all 5, but baby wipes was so much easier than having to use wet rags to clean off bottoms. Now, 37 years after the first baby arrived, I still buy them! Thanks for stopping by! Your garden was sure looking good in your last video! I'm jealous!
So many great ideas and tips! A lot of really great information. Thanks so much for sharing. 🤗
Thanks for watching, Angela!! I think one of your fire bowls would be great sitting outside of Honey!
Nice tips. I don’t like dry shampoo. I even mention it in an upcoming vid where we discuss some overlanding stuff. I have never thought that it worked very well. I’ve pretty much said, If I can’t wash my hair, I won’t go lol. I can’t do baby powder either. It causes my hair to tangle. Probably my hair type. Haha that last bit was funny. I think I’ll just follow that tip 😂
Thanks, Felix!❤️ Tangle!!?? Really?? That’s odd. When I’ve let my hair go too long without washing (usually at the cabin) I douse it in powder before bed, brush it, braid it and in the morning, go outside and bend over to give it a good brush through. Works wonders for me! Hope you guys are doing well!-Sue
@@HoneyandMe pretty sure it was baby powder that tangled me up. It’s been many many years ago so maybe I’m remembering wrong. My hair tends to be dry while my scalp can get oily. So I really just prefer to wash it.
I used to have quite oily hair as a teen. That's when they came out with that product called Pssst! It was the first dry shampoo. But it was very different from what we buy now. It really was powder in an aerosol can. I remember my auto shop teacher using it to make his hair white for some costume thing at school, and he had me spray it on good and thick. lol! Haven't thought of that for years! lol! But I used Pssst! back then and wish they still made it.
As someone who is a huge fan of wipes, I am very pleased to see you are as well. I was thinking of wiping down with the wipes then using the spray bottle to kind of top off I guess? I’ll have to see how that works out for me. Cause sometimes there are days where I don’t have time to take a shower and I kind of have to wipe down with wipes 🤷🏼♀️, put on some perfume and deodorant and I feel pretty fresh and clean.
Hi Chayla! Yup, never without wipes. My oldest is 38 and youngest is now 22, so we’ve been buying them for awhile! The spray addition is a great idea! Another item we keep buying beyond the original need is puppy pads! So many uses! Lol! I’ve used them for putting muddy shoes on while traveling.
Thanks for sharing your idea with all of us❤️
Grateful ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad!
I love the way you edited this mom! Hehe Gracie at the start is so funny 😂
Hello my darling girl!!! Our Gracie is a bit of a ham. Thanks so much for watching!! Luv u!😊
Aww…❤this comment and also your “channel” name.
@@simplymarbelous 😁
Excellent! Came here after I saw a comment you posted on another YT’ers channel re your wish to see your channel grow. Clicked out of curiousity with, I must admit, low expectations, and was super pleasantly surprized. Very VERY well done! 👏 I’ve been vanning for 3 years but never thought about warm water in a spray bottle! Nor have a heard about NorWex. Will be checking out your other channel (despite having no future plans to live in the Yukon😂) as well as other vids on this channel. Take good care!
Thank you for checking me out❤️It was so nice of you😁And I’m so glad you were pleasantly surprised!! That makes my day☺️Do you live in your van full time? Norwex cloths are the best!! Don’t tell my husband how much I’ve spent on them, lol! The spray bottle is what I use most often to clean up. It’s also great if it’s a hot day and you want to cool off! I keep a bottle in the fridge for just such an occasion💦Take care and thanks again for watching👍😁
Nice information sharing 👌 super 🎉
Stay connected 👍
Thank you!
Thank you. Very informative.
You are so welcome!❤️Thanks for watching😁
Hello fellow Toy Home owner!! Thanks so much for sharing your ‘stay clean’ method! I have seen those ‘no rinse’ washes for bed ridden folk and wondered about them. I think using Castile soap is sort of the same thing. No rinsing required.
What year and model is your TMH?
@@HoneyandMe 92 Winnebago Warrior :)
@@slporter Nice!! That's very much like my Itasca! Have you changed it at all? Redecorated??
@@HoneyandMe The previous owner did a lovely job (white walls, white cabinets, seat covers, vinyl wood planking, etc. I plan on changing out the curtains and seat covers and that's all I have to do besides upgrade the electrical (for boondocking). I used your advice for the pipe insulation and sheet for the couch. It's actually much easier to mess with than new seat covers because you can quickly change it out based on mood or how dirty it is.
@@slporter That's awesome! I painted the interior of Honey white too. Makes it so much brighter! I'm so glad you used the seat cover tutorial! It really does work well. Sadly, the trailer I demonstrated it in was stolen, along with a beautiful bedspread I'd been saving for years and decided to use in the trailer on the sofa. Not to mention everything else in the trailer. It was all packed and ready for us to pick up and head to Arizona. Still makes me angry to think about it...even though we did find it and had it taken away from the thief.
Have you seen my video on making Roman blinds? I made them for all the windows in Honey and just love them! This summer I'll be making them for our trailer, as I'm doing a makeover on the interior.
This was edited so nicely and professionally! Helpful and enjoyable presentation my friend as always!
Thanks so much! I appreciate hearing that!
Sue this was brilliant and really informative, we camp a lot especially at this time of year and like to keep everything simple. Love those black bags, we have a solar shower that is the same principle as the bags where you fill the bag with water and leave it out in the sun all day to heat up and it has like a little shower head on and only cost about £7 ! Definitely going to look into the Norwex cloths and I love the idea of the spray bottles with warm water , never thought of that before in all our years of camping even when our kids were babies , that would have been great ! I dont like dry shampoo but doesnt the baby powder leave white in ? I wondered if bicarbonate of soda would do the job ? 😮 I make some of my own products like deodrant with bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar and tea tree oil and its wonderful 😃 This was great 👍 ~ Anna
Hi Anna! Thank you so much! If you try the Norwex cloths, I know you'll become a fan too! A spray bottle of water and a Norwex cloth is all you need for cleaning both your home and yourself As far as the baby powder 'shampoo', I have used it on my hair with it now grey, but also as a temporary red-head and my natural brunette colour. I never found any issues with it showing as most of it is brushed out of your hair along with the excess oils. But, you can add other powdery things to it if you want to match up your colour. I have used cocoa powder when I was my natural brunette, but honestly I have not found it to be an issue. When we are at the cabin and I want to give it a really good clean, I douse my hair at night, just before bed with a really good lot of powder and brush it through, but not so it is all out. I leave it in overnight and in the morning give it a really good brush and my hair feels soft and silky. You could definitely try the baking soda or cornstarch. Anything that absorbs. I have even seen dry shampoo recipes with cornmeal in them, but have never tried that. I love the sound of your deodorant! I use a powder one from The Body Shop that smells like herbs. I really like it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and left such a nice comment! Take care and thanks for watching!~Sue
As usual, an informative video Sue😊 I'd never heard of the Wex cloths... I'll look into those.
I'm 1 of the original hippie chicks who's always used corn starch as powder for my body & hair (it's a cost-effective alternative).
Thanks, Mona!😁 Norwex is really a great product! Hippie chicks unite!! When my hair was still brown I used to add a wee bit of cocoa to the cornstarch to help it blend. Smelled good too! I love that you know what I’m talking about!!
@@HoneyandMe 💛
Great info!!! Kitty wanted a little camera time! 😆 ROSS is one of my absolute favorites too!!! I felt clean and fresh after watching 😃 OMG THE ENDING!!!! You made me lol forreal!!!
Thanks, Rose!❤️Gracie is a bit of a ham😁I’ve told my husband I need to get a bumper sticker that says “I brake for Ross’s”! We don’t have them in Canada, so I have to get my fix when we travel in the States. Glad it made you laugh! I was battling filming between heavy downpours, and figured to use what the good Lord gave me!😂
😃 Well it worked out well!!!!
His timing is perfect!
Corn starch....just a lite sprinkle
Yes! That works too! Baby powder is now made from cornstarch rather than talc. I’ve even seen recipes using cornstarch with a wee bit of another powdered ingredient like cocoa to add colour to the hair. I’ve never tried it, but sounds interesting 🧐 Thanks for sharing your tip!😁
That was a great alternative for waterless shampoo. We never would have guessed what you used.
Lol! It’s been my secret for years!😁
Five years between showers , I don't know Susie !
LOL!! No wonder I have no friends! 😂
@@HoneyandMe I'll be your friend with the clothespin .
@@daynadiggle8169 Thank you. I feel better now.😆
Of my goodness! This video was jam packed with great information! I’ve never heard of using baby powder. Oh and my favorite method was standing buck-naked in the rain! Love you! 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Lol!! If you try out the buck-naked method, lmk! Lol!😂 Thanks for watching, Winter❤️Luv u 2!
@@HoneyandMe I’ll be sure to do a video on it!😜
Pretty sure it'll go viral! lol!😄
Those NorWex cloths are interesting. How many uses can you get out a cloth? Does it ever run out of soap?.
Hi Deb! I've been using them for years and they are still going strong. They don't actually have any soap in them at all. It's silver and their super fine microfibre that makes these cloths amazing! Here's a link if you want to learn more. They do a better job of explaining the science than I do, lol! norwex.biz/en_US/pages/microfiber-science
Scrubzz Disposable Rinse Free Bathing Wipes - 25 Pack - All-in-1 Single Use Shower Wipes, Simply Dampen, Lather, and Dry Without Shampoo or Rinsing. About $10 for 25 "showers". Because no dripping, can manage this while on the bed before putting on sleepware or changing after a hike, but usually use baby changing throw away mats, in case. BTW, we have our car campers set up very similarly, but since I'm 5 feet tall, I can sleep across the car. I can only manage 3 full days camping. The absolute necessity of total discipline and organization gets to me after that.
Hi and thanks so much for sharing your 'stay clean' tip! I'll have to check these out! Is your car camper a hatchback or do you sleep on the backseat crossways? Lol! Yes, I can see how having to be 'on it' all the time with keeping things in place can get to a person. I think that's why I like the big box I now use in mine to be able to just toss most of my stuff into. Thanks for watching and leaving a helpful comment!
What is that purple thing called????
I think you are asking about the squirty bottle. It's a travel bidet. Here's a link to them on Amazon.-amzn.to/3P9Bgpc
Don't know how to ask, except to just ask... So, the Norwex body cloth... I assume you can reuse several times before washing them, but how many days, would you think? I am a fairly hairy guy and wonder if they will still do a good job? Thanks. Earl
That's a great question, Earl! I use mine for about 2 weeks before throwing it in the laundry. I hang it to dry between uses and rinse it out after using. The silver in them kills the bacteria which keeps them fresh longer. You can give them a good hand wash with dish soap or even boil them to clean.. And if you do throw them in the laundry, it's best to hang them to dry. You can put them in the dryer, but never with dryer sheets or fabric softener. I think they'd do a good job on anyone! They now have a body/face all in one cloth which I'm enjoying using. It has 2 different textures, one on each side of the cloth. Here's the link- amzn.to/443Urph
