    I don’t think there is anything more comforting than a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.

    I am so happy to hear that you nor Lars were seriously harmed by the bear spray incident. I have never wanted to reach through the screen and give a warm hug than as I was hearing you explain how you and Lars were standing outside the van in the middle of the night. Much love and safe travels!

      Hi
      Please be careful in the cold it's so easy to freeze to death.
      If you are going to be in the cold you have to over prepare with good sleeping bags blanks and warm clothing and some kind of heat inside your van.
      We want to be able to continue enjoying you and Lars adventures.
      That grilled cheese and tomatoes soup looks sooo good.
      Stay safe

I had that experience before too! Along with my military days having to experience gas houses while practicing putting on my gas mask. I’m glad you and Lars are ok. love how cats eyes look when they are trying to understand what’s going😂

Best idea I've had I just grab my pack and go and also carry an air horn and can fit my phone in it to.

    😂 This reminded me of the time my ex wife went to Camping World and bought a fire extinguisher for the RV. That evening she was determined to try it out, so she set a newspaper on fire in the sink…and then the fun started. I was outside talking with a neighbor when all of a sudden I heard screaming, like someone was getting killed. Well, in her haste she had picked up bear spray by accident.

  • @nomaderic

    It's crazy how us car/van lifers always end up at the same places. When I went there I went to the same Walmart to get a new tire and slept at the same cracker barrel before leaving the next day lol. I need to go back there soon. As far as cities go it's up there with the beauty. Those mountains just tower around you and are so beautiful.

    OMG that soup and grilled cheese looks so good. I know what I am having for lunch today, I love snow camping but you just need a better heating system. If you can keep the van warm, you can enjoy playing out in the snow, knowing you will be toasty when you go home. Stay safe out there. Looking forward to whats next.

    Some people rotate every time they get oil change or every 2nd oil change. It depends on how much you drive. Rotating helps with even wear. Getting a wheel alignment is necessary as well if needed. Safe travels ❤ no more skateboarding without helmet lol

    I lived in Utah for quite a while while i worked in Zion Nat Park.
    You should head towards Southern Utah. You will have lots of snowy mountains but a bit warmer days at lower elevations. Especially around St George area.
    Two ski resorts there too and amazing National parks. Hit the hippy based Mystic Hot Springs
    In Richfield too. Great vibes there.
    Safe travels with many blessings
    on your adventures.

    @bakarangerpinku Před 8 měsíci +4

    Oh please be more careful. Leaving anything on while you’re away from your vehicle home is akin to leaving a candle lit. Should ANYTHING ever happen you won’t be there to save the day and instantly put out any fires. Always worry something out to the point either it’s silly or if it can turn realistically awful then take steps to avoid it. Not only is there the slimmest chance something could happen but you might lose Lars, too!! 🐈‍⬛🪄
    Please just buy him a nice wool blanket or something. Or a wool blanket for yourself and Lars. Real woolen blankets can be pricey but that’s an investment and possible family heirloom quality kind of blanket lol. They’re perfect for not having heat. Lars would probably love it!

  • @ChocolateNaturallySweet
    @ChocolateNaturallySweet Před 8 měsíci +3

    Hey CZcams Nephew,
    Oh no, now that's something I no longer enjoy in my 50s snow. Being I'm in a four season state, I definitely don't look forward to it at all. Watching you prepare a staple cold weather meal has me wanting a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with chicken noodle for dinner since temperatures are in the low 30s. Another great video for Vlogmas! Have a great evening and stay warm! 👩🏾‍🚀🐈‍⬛🫶🏿🧣🧤🧦🧥✌🏾
    Question for your next Q&A
    1. In 2024, will you be planning any future astronauts meetups?
    2. Have you considered making a vanlife cookbook?
    3. Will you, in the future, consider sponsorship or more sponsorship for the items you utilize for vanlife living?

You should consider having your tires rotated at every oil change and it will help preserve the life of your tires. I have my tires rotated every time I have my oil changed. You and Lars stay warm and safe! Wow! You are Lars are in UTAH! Traveling guys! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 .
