Holy moly, the dudes came from Ukraine to help you guys! That is some serious diplomatic relationship. Ukranians helping Americans in South America.
Love this! United Nations!!!
Thanks for sharing all your must haves. Snow, I just want to say that you are looking so good and healthy!! Your doctors will be so happy to know how well you have taken charge of your health.
Thank you! 😊😊😊😊😊
Snow must have nerves of steel knowing what Curt gets up to in his adventuring x
Enjoyed this even though I'm not a vanlifer. Oh - the dresses! Bookmarked😄
Snow, that older footage really demonstrates your commitment to becoming as healthy as possible and - you look fabulous! So proud of your accomplishments!
Loved this video! We've had those fans for over a year. They're awesome! Snow, you have certainly trimmed down! Seeing that old footage really shows off how much determination you've had to get and stay healthy! A great role model for all of us.
Wow you both have gotten into some great shape. When Curt was climbing that mountain, I was so afraid! Any little slip and gone especially since he had already hiked so far. I had to look away but that camera gave such a beautiful view while he was doing that not safe thing. Snow - believe it or not, I buy dresses with that exact same material at Family Dollar. I have had these for over 5 years with no piling, no wrinkles. Love taking them on vacay since I can just roll them and go.
I always get amazed on how much both of you lost weight since the start of the jorney.
1: pans. Removable handle, nesting, induction friendly.
2: knives and sharpener. Global brand knives. Kitchen IQ sharpener

Snow and Curt , thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing your trip continuing in EU , etc. we will be shipping our 144 - 4x4 sprinter to UK spring of 2025. I’m fitting it out as we speak it’s a 2022 with 200 miles on the clock. Our plan is a multi year tour of all the EU , Uk , Balkans, Eastern Europe, turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijani and hopefully most of the Stan’s.we will also do North Africa as well. Definitely following your lead on slow travel. Maybe our paths will cross. Keep up the great work you do. Kevin
Thank you Snow and Curt for some insight into how you manage to keep everything so simple and clean . All your ideas I am going to use pretty much all your ideas because this is the answer to most everything that needed revision in our little Sun Crest. Thank you two sooo much. See you next time.❤
haha, love your pun, "they made the cut." Thanks for the great video; found it very informative.
Awesome, thank you!
Yesss! Those pots/skillets from amazon are perfect! And I love your style with the dresses.
Thank you so much!!
I got the hiking poles after I saw them on your channel. Best thing I have ever done for my arthritic knees. They allow me to feel more stable when I go for walks.
Aguardamos vocês voltarem ao Brasil. Visite a cidade de Santos no litoral de São Paulo. Itatiaia, Cunha, São Bento do Sapucaí. A região da Serra da Mantiqueira que divide os Estados de São Paulo, Minas Gerais e Rio de Janeiro é um lugar lindíssimo e vocês precisam conhecer.
👍🤩💝Awesome items. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you ... this is a great video, especially with Christmas just around the corner. 😀
Thank you so much for showing us these products. ❤
Wow! This is all just amazing information- thoroughly love the camera info!!! Will be checking this all out to use on my up and coming spring Vacation!!! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this with me! This will save me hours of searching!!!! Now to start saving up !!!!!!! Blessings, Jojo
Great info. Snow boy have you changed over the years.
GORgeous cat! Thx for the list!
Thanks for watching!
This was an excellent video, very helpful and came at the right time for me. Thanks for sharing.
GREAT Advice guys thank you!! Excellent video!
Thanks,so much🎉 You two are awesome 😮. I enjoyed this video so much.
Awesome guys, 8 months into our N American tour and a tick for everything except the photographic equipment (not YouTubing) and not needed a head torch. Here’s one for your European trip, we only took cabin bags on the plane and they have been in the way in our camper, go for ones that collapse completely or donate to a charity shop when you arrive!
Two of our suitcases are actually our waterproof pelican storage boxes for our tools and spare parts! The other suitcases will get donated pretty quick! Same thing with the pet crates 😊
Such a great video! Thanks for all the tips and resources. We’re counting down to the end of next year when we will finally start traveling full time in our van!
Get ready for the most amazing journey 😄
You look great Snow!
Oh thank you!
Always a good video/ visit with cherished friends….that is how you make us feel and how we feel about you two! That is wonderful information for anyone traveling with tight spaces. There is such a big population of van travelers and lifers that this should be very well received. I’ve got to get the knife sharpener as NOBODY likes a dull knife!
Best of everything to the two of you and the precious furbabies.💖👍👍🙏
Thank you!😍
Oh wow, can see you will be so nervous. Really hope the van travels well.
I have been needing new knives but I hate to do the research! Thanks for doing it for me. Bought those off your link. Watching your videos I have seen what a great job you do with research, so when you said you had researched AND you’ve been using them for so long I knew these were the knives.
You will love them!
I love ALL your recommendations, and I have been a vanlifer for 4 years. If I could make a small suggestion to go along with the tow strap: soft shackles. Versatile for accessing way more access points on the vehicle, lightweight, easy to store and don't "clank".
I’m so happy to see you and your family are doing good ! Stay safe and travel well .
Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking the time to share all of this wonderful information, been watching you guys for years. Richard, Palatka Florida (90 minutes north of Orlando)
Good morning Snow and Curt ☀️ awesome video! Thank you for the Snow and Curt approved list. Definitely going to check out the last camera, it takes some amazing shots and angles. Looking forward to seeing what you two get up to next. Stay safe, 🤗🇨🇦
It's a great camera!!
Parabéns Kart Esnol sempre acompanhando vocês aguardamos de volta 🇧🇷🙏🙏🙏
Those dresses are good to wear with leggings in colder weather too
Great information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Something strange my stepdad used to do, who just died recently, he had a big a&w mug and would fill it with half black coffee and half water every morning. I always thought why would he drink coffee that way, but when you wake up you're always dehydrated so it's kind of smart I guess lol
💝💖💗 Another great overlook of what you have done over the years. Thank you. Take care! Stay safe! ❇❇❇
Great info. Thank you. ❤
Wow! Thanks
Thanks for sharing ❤
Very valuable .
Curt smiling to the camera while the volcano is exploding in the back, looks like those "Darwin Awards" memes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your vids!
Love those stackable pans & pots with removable handle … thanks for sharing!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE
Hi both
Brilliant way of informing others what’s good for them which is good. Amazon is my greatest store online as I buy a lot from there as a lot of things went missing on my moving house. You both are having a great time in your van which in hindsight I would have loved to do in my younger days
Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x
Thank you guys for all the info on the things you use!!!!!! The dresses 👗 is what I always wondered about!!! I will be ordering some and other things too!!!! This video was great THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! We all love you!!! Let go exploring can't wait for the new journey ❤😊❤
Y’all have gotten to see some of the cutest little different animals I’ve never seen in my life. How stinking awesome..lol. I love it! Wow!?
You are so kind
@@SnowAndCurt thanks guys for letting us all tag along. It's been great.
Great information for everyone. I don’t live in a van 🚐 or travel a lot, but I love some of your items! Thank you 👍❤️👏🐈⬛🐈
Great advice lovely couple & being well prepared is essential plus knowing this is from your experiences! Those walking sticks are very helpful plus hiking boots! Great to see you both relaxing in AirBnB & it’s wonderful to have a rest from driving! 💜💙🤗 when are you actually leaving for Europe & what is your first stop? 😊
Thank you!!!
Wow! Such great as t Christmas ideas. Thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
A wonderfully perfect video! And now I've got a AZ store I can pop into AND toss a bit to you two on commission, which is a great way to do this, would make me happy to get the item and feel good about helping you two out so you can keep making great videos!
I am looking at those pans, but first thing is going to be that knife sharpener, I really need that! I want Snow's dresses too, but while I'm shrinking, I'm gonna have to shrink a bit more to do that! 😁
Thank you for all this!
Thank you thank you thank you, that is so helpful ❤️🍻☮️☺️🙏
Great video and great tips. I appreciate knowing some of the magic behind the scenes.
Thanks so much guys great tips. 😊👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. Good luck with the transfer of the van to Europe. The perfect people to stop to help you get out of the mud! If anyone knows about mud it’s Ukrainians!!!
That insta camera scared the crap out of me when you were climbing up those rocks/mountain, Curt! I'm not kidding! Yep, it was anxiety inducing! I was worried half to death! That camera is incredible.
Thank you for your list of favorite products. I'm not a van-lifer, but you did remind me I wanted a head lamp. I do have a walking stick for when I hike and love it. I can see why you have those... so helpful! And those little critters you filmed are so adorable. It's always fun to see what animals, sights and people you come across.
I'm looking forward to Europe.
Snow, you're looking so great (and I love your dresses too!). I'm so happy to have had the privilege to join you both on your travels! I bet I had almost as much fun as you have.... except I don't get to taste the food!
KITTEEEEHHH!!
I could not agree with you more Curt. Dull knives are worthless. I have always used a manual sharpener and it works fine.
Love the tips and also getting to see clips from the big stuck adventure and the critter paparazzi 😂. I bought walking sticks after seeing you guys use them. Very helpful
That is awesome!
THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm just getting started on my Instagram journey and might be adding in some CZcams eventually. I'm also considering doing a few epic-ish road trips. ALL this info is invaluable. THANK YOU! Also, all the best in all your travels. I found you when Snow started her heart journey and have stayed with you ever since. Curt, you're wonderful. Snow, you're inspiring. 💙💜
You are so welcome!
I love global knives. They are amazing.
Thank you for the helpful information n sharing what works best for y'all can't wait for the next video stay safe BLESSED BE ♥️
We have the head lamp and the walking sticks. We don't leave home without them when traveling. I keep a set of the walking sticks in the truck for that unexpected walk on a park trail!
Awesome, thatnks very much for the video.
My pleasure!
Camping cookware will also be handy because they are a lot smaller, and are designed to nest into one another too. :)
Awesome 👏
I have a set of those pans for my van and I love them. I store them in the microwave!
Great stuff right here
Sending good energy xxxx love you guys xx
Wonderful info … thanks! Safe travels…❤
3:16 trust me this is one of the best knives in the world, most professional chefs uses that knives in the uk. You need a good “Still” to sharpen it the same brand as your knives are very good, be careful try not to use those sliding sharpeners you might dent your knife edges and you won’t sharpen as good as with a good still
Thank you so very much for the fabulous information on space saving "musts" for life!
Nice practical list! Thank you!
Thank you for the suggestions. Very helpful video…. And in good time for Christmas shopping!
Really enjoyed the video, thanks guy's.
Thank you for sharing such life tested, valuable information. God bless you on your journeys!
Thank you for Informing us all, I appreciate you both, God bless you both in your Awesome travels, Much love❤
