I’ve been going through some rough times. But today I’m determined to turn this around. This morning I made breakfast with some cage-free eggs. And I got out and walked around a little to set my day off on the right foot. Then I spent some time at Thorpe Park. I also was able to pick up an Amazon order that I had been waiting several days to receive. Since I’ve been experiencing elevation sickness while in Flagstaff, I made plans to leave the area.

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.

Thank you for the honest no frills reporting on van life, I do wish many others on here would leave the show business to the professionals. Your channel is totally real love it. Stay safe .
Lol. I wish that, too. It wears me out. I think they lose perspective quickly. 1 year on YT and they’re Paramount Studios.
We're skinny too & if we don't eat we don't feel good , because we been pushy with our nutrition over the the yrs , people's have been pushy with us & it's all we had to be pushy back , so we did, 💝
You are so calm wish more people had that demeanor. lol
God bless you scott.
Thanks Ann
Yeh......you know, everybody is in a funk with the current state of things. So umm, take heart that you are not alone in experiencing anxiety recently. I mean, gas prices alone at record highs are enough to dampen anyone's mood. Take care my friend! 😀
Yes
I like the Zen ambience of your videos..Im living vicariously through your videos.
Scott, Your a good problem solver. Your skill sets for sorting things out and facing challenges are remarkable. Don't stress over a bill or two. Just pay a little bit on each one until you catch up. If you get a win fall pay everything off. Reduce fuel consumption by finding an interim place to stay where fuel is least expensive. Keep living your best life.
As I’m sure someone else has noted, water boils at 92.8 degrees Celsius in Flagstaff. Loved the opening horns. This comment commands you to start feeling better.🦋
Yes, I realized the elevation effects of boiling later. But I’m compelled to leave in the clips that show I am a dunce because this is a vlog of my day. Haha
👍🙏Hopefully you’re feeling better. Thanks for sharing your journey. 💖
Feeling back to normal, Thanks
@@StaticCamperVan - Fantastic 👍🤩💖
I raise my own chickens and eat four eggs a day. Best protein and vitamin source there is! You've got me hooked on Yellowbird. I like the habanero version.
Yellowbird and eggs are a great combo!
Scott- I really do appreciate how you take us through your day(s) and your decision making. Every day cannot be a ‘great day’. That’s the same as us. Thank you for your willingness to share your less-than-great days too. I understand your frugalness and your limited space. It will be interesting to see whether or not your hot water pot will be ‘a keeper’. -Carl
Thanks Carl. I appreciate the encouragement
I was in Flagstaff last night (5/21), on my way to Utah for a few days. Looks like our paths didn't cross this time. I hope your various problems clear up soon. Wishing you well.
Thanks Al. Wish I could have stayed longer. But I gave it as much time as I could. Hope to see you down the road.
@@StaticCamperVan - I assume you were stealth camping somewhere there?
Stealth? No. I haven’t figured out what that is. I was mostly parked somewhere around the city. I did some dispersed camping outside the city. But I was feeling so poorly that I wanted to stay in town near services.
How considerate of others you are.
Realizing the baseball families would so much appreciate the parking spaces and your leaving to seek out another place.
Nice to make your Seadeale Best coffee!👌✌️🤞👍🇺🇸🙌🙏🌅🌄🌞✨
Didn't know that about ads. I'm sure it's not going to make any real difference in income but from now on I'm going to let the ads run. I'll just do something else while they are running 😮🤫
That's good
👍Cool appliance!
Took a tram up to 13,000 feet in New Mexico. It was like being high. Light headed after just a short walk. Amazing. Hope you feel better soon.
I appreciate you and your show. I subscribed to follow your adventures.
Hope life improves for you.
Thanks. But my life is s dream come true. For over thirty years I wished for a life like this. Now I am living it.
That draining hack using a slotted spatula was brilliant. Goodbye bulky strainer👍 Amazing what we learn from you!
I didn't know Flastaff was that high, about 7000 ft. It's still nice an cool up in the northern states, 50s and 60s. The occasional 70s.
When I was told Flagstaff was higher than Denver, I didn’t quite believe it at first.
I hope you feel better , you are in my prayers .
Glad you made it safe to your destination 🙏
Electric warmer 🍵👍
Elevation sickness is no joke. Had it in Nrderland, CO. A little health food store up there had some tablets that really helped me. Don't recall what they were called. Going to s lower elevation will help. Sorry you aren't feeling well.
I lived in Nederland for years and used to see those who came up to us who would just be sick with nausea and what seemed like hyperventilation behavior. We found that the best thing was to exercise. A brief hike in the mountains, chopping wood etc would help alleviate the symptoms much more quickly. Laying around only made it worse. Its amazing how well developed the lungs are on those that live in the high country.
Scott- thanks for the video! Glad you can eat eggs now! They are a quick, easy, nutritious food to have on hand!
And I'm jealous of your nice nap- I am such a Light sleeper- a bird breathes and I wake up! 😆
😂👍myself also
👍😅 Haha! I'm loving the "Scott washes his pants and hangs them to dry in public".. episodes. He's such a rebel!🤓 If the coppers came around to investigate he would just dazzle them with his calm demeanor and yellow bird recipes then happily sign them up as Patreon supporters!😆 As far as the heat goes, that "Wim Hoff ice bath method for general good health could be the ticket. Setting up an inflatable tub with ice water in a park and going for a dip would draw a crowd !🤣 BTW I watched two full ads on this vid., happy to do my part for the channel. Keep on rocking in the" hot and arid world!"✌️I'll just have to suffice with my 10 K stroll around the breezy, sunny ,SEA wall up here in 49th parallel region! Cheers.
☕️✌🏼
You are welcome
Scott, I learn so much from your postings. Thank you. I truly id not know about the commercials. Will watch them from now on. Also interested in your comments about soy free eggs. Very interesting. Seems like it’s time to go back to San Diego area. Safe travels!
Thanks Linda. But I probably will never go back to San Diego. Lots of other places to search out.
I love your sense of humor and I enjoy watching all your videos. I will start watching all the commercials. I did not know I had to do that in order to help you. I do want to help you
Please just watch as you feel. Skip the ads if you’re not interested in them.
For the record, I watch everything on your video!😉(on 2x though😁) Hope you feel better and be more productive.🙏
Thanks Mo
Thanks!
I hope it helps some💝
I LOVE this Channel. It's so peaceful.
Thank You, Sir.
Thank you
I listen while I work at home and it calms me down on stressful/cranky days.
You could come back to WA it's just starting to get nice here 😀
I read the comments during the commercials 😊
I had trouble in Tierjas NM a couple months ago. I was ok in Alb. but another thousand feet did it to me. On Eggs: An egg farmer told me that you don't refrigerate eggs until you wash them Once they are cleaned up they have to be stored cold.
🤣😂 The Marvin Mars reference!! Funny! Oh, and I watched the ads. Just for you. 😄
Have a good drive 👍
Best wishes to you! Missed your Vids!
👌Have a nice drive. Enjoy it. 🌅
Great blog 👍❤️
Awesome setup
Prayers for you to get well soon.
Watching van life video is really relaxing.
Hey man, great video and best of luck for the rest of your journey.. lower and cooler seems the plan ❤ .. best wishes from New Zealand 😀✊
Hope you feel better soon Scott, Take Care.
The only eggs I buy now are organic pasture raised. They are the best.
"Egglands Best"
Always good to see your updates. Sorry to hear that the elevation just got you down. Thanks.
Neat you did laundry and even have a clothes line. Very resourceful and creative.
I'm enjoying the videos, nice and chilled
Hey - I'm really enjoying your videos and watching back through your old videos. You clearly put a lot of effort into them and want to share/help others with your experience. I hope things get better for you and your coffee always tastes great!
Love the smell of fresh cut grass sans the mower exhaust :)
Life gets larger-than-life sometimes. Feel better...👍😎🇨🇦☕⚘
Stay strong Stay Safe. U will.b alright. Amen
Marvin is my favorite!
It was so cute to peek in an see Marvin!
🙏all continues to go in your favor all-around 🙂
Great you can cook.... a bed of chopped parsley or lettuce topped with your omelette....so healthy...make yourself smile every day..yea x n
I played all of the ads! Hope it helps. Keep on trucking !!!
Glad that you’re getting out of the high elevations, can’t say you didn’t give yourself time to adjust but it wasn’t happening so I can see why you’d get a little cranky. You really have spent a pretty significant amount of time away from CA and with the gas prices I don’t blame you.
Arizona has been a surprise. It’s a very nice place. Flagstaff especially.
I've fixed My eggs 🥚 the way you did. Their really tasty made that way. Yum! Hope your doing better. Take care.
I had a hard time in Flagstaff too. The elevation made me lightheaded.
KTF (Keep The Faith),
Just found your channel.
Interesting to watch.
Happy trails to you.
I lived in Texas for a while and what you made for breakfast they called migas.... basically some sort of tortillas, eggs, salsa, cheese... Was a great breakfast! 👍
I am getting my RAM Promaster City next week and your channel has inspired me! I hope you know that your videos make a difference.
Thanks. Best wishes with your new van.
@@StaticCamperVan I'll send a picture when the build is completed
Cool
I have a used Presto electric tea kettle. I drilled a couple holes so I had zip tied through a couple holes I drilled in the handle to the underside of a shelf where it constantly hangs and I can just tip it forward to pour water out of it and it's fixing the show for the carabiner in case I had to move it for some reason.
Its a good thing to listen to your body... Naps etc.. Take good care 🌈😊
Good stuff....
New subscriber here. Not skipping ads. 😁
Hope you feel better soon…
Glad to hear you are drinking more water and getting back to having breakfast. 💕
Love ❤your channel! Keep up the incredible quality work!
Thank you
Traveling mercies. I live in Shiro TX lots of great parking places with lakes and Ponds. Also free range eggs everywhere.
Hope you're feeling better Scott !
Feeling right as rain. Or something like that ✌🏼
Stay strong, keep positive, cool videos, your viewer from Oregon 🤓👍
✌🏼
I hope you feel better. And may good fortune find you with those bills
Thanks
Hope you found a balance. Northern AZ is either high or hot. Can take two weeks to adjust to major change in elevation. So much forest north of Flagstaff. Also seasonal jobs in and adjacent to Grand Canyon NP. Good luck.
I hope you find a really nice place to stay for a spell. You might like the Mt.Backer hey. Going east from Bellingham. The air there is the most beautiful thing you'll ever smell. I wish you all good things.
Never knew about the "soy" in eggs, I'll give 'em a try. Thanks Scott.
I made sure to watch all the commercials even as much as I hate advertising lol. I hate u are feeling bad. I've never had elevation sickness but I can only imagine how crappy it could make ur day. I enjoyed the day in the life video. I get to live thru u n that's what the vids r all about right. Get well soon and good luck in finding u a nice place to chill for a bit and maybe find a lil bit of work. Many blessings and much love
Like your video's 👍 I've lived in Flagstaff before, seems like you did not have any police issues, seemed very noesy when i lived there 😉👍
Maybe later you could get a set of carving knives and whittle yourself some kitchen utensils, kuksa cups, little people and animals, chip carving things or relief carving pictures, and you could carve to make alittle mo ey too. I buy used books from amazon, so my library doesn't cost too much. CZcams helps with learning and understanding. Just an idea to help take your mind off things and you could take them with you most everywhere. Hope you soon get to feeling better. I started learning to make California rolls, I want to make your tortilla recipe but keep for getting. Hang in there.
That’s one of my favorite towns. It was good to see how you felt better after eating. Good luck with soy free eggs. I also avoid soy. I look forward to finding out where you landed after Flagstaff. I’m keen to hear more reviews about the electric kettle because I’ve been looking for one. Yours is also very pretty in those colors with gold tones. I’ll be hitting the road in September with a nicer looking car as my Toyota is in the body shop getting a face lift, plus during this grounded time I’m painting commissions and stashing away the money for my wanderings. Stay Safe and keep up the videos, it’s always good to see you and hear your thoughts about things. ❤️✅
Nice to see you back on youtube, your dedicated van fan. I had the 2012 Ram Cargo van I converted several years ago, then got really sick and had to retire from traveling, although My intention is to get back on the road again. Thanks again for sharing your travels.
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
I actually haven’t left CZcams at all. If you’re interested, here’s a Playlist of all my videos from the first until the most recent: czcams.com/play/PL9PWzpL1cZIHAST4lDsBmmENA2Dil_tRh.html
I started to drink iced coffee, now l make 2 liters of coffee in the morning, hot then sip it though out the day. As it gets cooler I don't mind. Takes a few tries to get it as you like. We all have not great days van or stick and brick. Like watching ya !
Sorry you were I’ll. My co-worker years ago had one of those, she used it in motels when she went away, then at work, before the ease of microwaves. I hope it works well for you. Good reality video. Stay safe on the roads.
I didn’t know watching the ads helped your channel so I guess I’ll use that time for a coffee break hey anything to help 😀😀
I’m sorry that you’re not feeling well. You’re doing what I would do. Also, bananas for potassium, if you can keep them down. Take care. :)
You deserve the very best
We all deserve the very best. Thank you
The grass cutters are so soothing aren't they? 😉
take care bro
By the way the vidalia onions are in season and should be available in the grocery store if you've never had them, they are the best. nice and sweet. 🌵🦋🌼🌻😊
Will mention you in my prayers today.
Little prayer to remember. Just few words for you to say. JUSUS I TRUST IN YOU.✝️.
Wish you well...
Hi
New subscriber...hope you get better...I’ll play catch up with the videos 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Thanks. I’m feeling great now ✌🏼
I like that you’re a rebel (saying honest things, even though you know YT doesn’t like it)…it shows that you have integrity. I also like how you show yourself making food and then reviewing what you’ve cooked. And now I’m craving eggs! I never make eggs at home, for some reason, but now I think I will buy some eggs the next time I go shopping.
Hi, if you hang your pants by the legs and not the waste ,they will dry a lot quicker x
I’ll give it try, thanks
@@StaticCamperVan Disagree for drying pl us you will have peg marks on trouser bottoms!!!
@@nancythomas-wardm.b.a2993 I’ll need to do some diligent research and report back!
@@StaticCamperVan 77 years of practise
LOL
I’m glad that you mentioned that thing. I’ve always wondered about that. I’ve asked another CZcamsr about it before, in the past, and I guess they played dumb about it because they just said that they didn’t know. I’ll be sure and watch them all for you. 👍✌️
Lots of CZcamsrs don’t understand the subject. Thanks for your help. But please just watch as you normally would. I hope everyone will watch what interests them and skip what doesn’t.
Never had fried corn tortillas with eggs and I live in the Houston area! Looked really good and going to have to try it!!
Fried corn tortillas with eggs are So Good. It’s a great way to use up stale tortillas. Which is what I was doing.
Yeah, we call them chilaquiles. I slice onions, and sometimes sprinkle parmesan cheese, on them when done. If I don't have any other type of cheese.
Egg white consumption may lead to allergic symptoms, such as gastrointestinal reactions, respiratory symptoms, cutaneous reactions. i had same issue and i eat only egg yolk now and i'm doing fine
Being from Minnesota, I have had altitude sickness. It is no joke.
Scott, water boils at lower temps at higher elevations,
Haha, I did realize that later.
The eggs looked good! I don’t eat much eggs but when I do I like to know exactly which hens provided them and there names so I got my own hens who free rang e and eat there he grass😊 best eggs…… I’ve recently switched to a iPhone from my android and it really sucks because it never never does anything when I swipe or try to click things so I do End up letting your ads play because I’m tired of fooling with it it’s no big deal it seems beautiful out there I hope the elevation it’s better once you leave
