When I heard there were some old out of service military batteries near by, I decided to plan a trip. Today we started out in Silverdale. Did some quick shopping to replenish Yellowbird hot sauce. Then we drove out to Bainbridge Island to find the batteries. On the southwest side of the island is Fort Ward Park. At Fort Ward we checked out Battery Thornburgh and Battery Vinton. Both are now historical landmarks.

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.

It's the simple things that bring happiness to life
Very true
@@StaticCamperVan
As I always say, " simplicity is my best friend. "❤️
I like your videos they are so relaxing, as a Florida native I generally hear nothing but negative things about the West Coast states (Usually political rants), it is nice that you don't go that route.
Thanks, the west coast is a wonderful place
As a west coast native, we too have the political rants, but that doesn’t take away from most of it just being so beautiful.
As a Coastal California native who now lives abroad , I can say I don't understand the negativity AT all. I'm constantly traveling and the Pacific coast from Seattle to San Diego is still the most beautiful and diverse topography I've ever seen. And the the people are pretty chill as well 😁 It always warms my heart to go back to the west coast. Nothing like it anywhere. Safe travels Scott
I spent two frustrating hours earlier today working on a shower diverter valve. Got it fixed. And, I have to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You have a relaxing voice and demeanor. Thank you for calming my frayed nerves, Scott.❤
Thanks so much
You’re the man. I could sit and watch your videos for hours. I really thank you for your time.
Thank you
You excel at describing the minutia of van life while giving us a tour of beautiful locals and tutelage in gourmet nuances, conveying a peaceful philosophical slant on life. Respect!
Thank you Denise
I went to school in Silverdale at the sub base. Love the PNW.
"...a little heavy-handed with the Yellow Bird..." 😂 👍🇨🇦😎☕🍪🍪🍪
When it tastes good and doesn't hide the savor in the food, Definitivamente 👍🏼
loved the shot of the goose family
As a born and raised Washingtonian I enjoyed your video so much, and actually learned a lot of cities I don’t know much about.
Thanks so much for this video! I can’t drink coffee because of health issues, but tea and Jesus is all I need.
Also, on your recommendation I ordered a 5 pack of flavors from Amazon if the Yellow Bird, and I love the Serrano! Jalapeño is ok, still have to try the other 3. ❤
I enjoyed them and found only 4 in Texas and loved the taste in each one
Great to hear that you are liking the hot sauce
haha, I didnt realize you had the Olympia Coffee Roasters sticker in your kitchen... maybe I didnt notice it before. I picked one up for my wife on Saturday.
Haha, I bought that silly sticker last year
I think it means you have 4 hrs parking from the time the parking time restriction starts, so til noon.
Bainbridge Island is one of my favorite places in the world.
I can see why!
🌲🏞🌿Such the beauty to behold. So great contentment hearing the water lap the shore 🌿🏞🌲
98 in Portland. I’m in the shade at Oaks Park with my van.
Good to see my favorite vlogger back. Such a beautiful area. Nice jacket, and haircut!
Thanks Richard
Thanks Scott! 💕 nice hearing the rain, sweet dreams. 🙏🏻🕊🧂😇💙
Nice video, I enjoyed it. 👍
It was so nice seeing that area with you. It is lovely. I have to thank you for suggesting using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for my tacos. I’m not able to buy sour cream in Spain. Stay well. 👍🥰
You’re welcome
I found a dmall bottle of Yellow Bird Serrano at Walmart for $1. Looking forward to trying it ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾
Awesome video Mr. Scott, that seem like a very nice place.
Thank you
I wish I could take a nice walk in nature like that! Since I can’t right now, thanks for taking me along. 👍
Thanks for the video. You always find nice places and adventures to invite us to.
You’re welcome. Thanks for coming along with me
Hi Scott, another very enjoyable vlog, very scenic, very low key, not at all hyper (which I love) and also informative. Thanks for bringing us along on all your travels. Dave
Thanks Dave
Lovely video. Beautiful location Washington is such a lovely state, and the islands have spectacular scenery. I must try some yellow bird. Amazon has a nice selection. Love your presentation. Thank you.
Glad you stopped in Silverdale. I live in Kingston and consider Kitsap county the most beautiful! Sadly you come to visit my home area when I left to do a trip around the USA. Enjoy!
Another great video. And thanks for ending it with the rain gently falling on your roof.
Hi Scott, Sure enjoy coming along on your tours. I have never been to the Pacific North West so its always new and fresh content for my eyes. It appears to be so green and lush there. If i ever get there i will know where to get good coffee and Yellow bird.
Beautiful spot #thankyou🌟 #enjoythejourney ♥️♥️♥️
Aero press + Humboldt Coffees! For the PNW lifestyle! Another great video Scott. Thank you- your channel is one of the best- very informative n interesting
Aww, thanks
My brother could show you ALL there is to see around here. I sent him a link to your video. Exploring the Peugeot sound is one of his favorite hobbies.
Ah, the rain at the end, soooo soothing........
Thanks for the history lesson today Scott. As a result I read more about the area and read that Fort Ward was a top-secret military listening post during WWII and had a code name “Station S”. Apparently the area was perfect for listening to Japanese Morse code communications which soldiers would translate and they picked up important messages just prior to the Pearl Harbour attack. Very interesting history there! The article said that the writer David Kahn included this in one of his books about Code Breakers. Thanks for coffee and a history lesson today Scott😊.
Yet cell service wasn't great he said at start of hike 🤔 Technology.
Peaceful and relaxing vids, Scott. Safe travels.
Another great episode! Thanks Scott.
another calm video. Thanks
Beautiful views! Nice & relaxing before bed. Thanks for sharing Scott, have a good night!
Thanks, you too
Just discovered your channel and subscribed today. As a west-coaster (by way of Hawaii), I've been to most of the places you've traveled, but not for a while because of the pandemic - thank you for reminding me to get out and explore this beautiful part of the world! Safe travels! ❤
Hey thanks. Safe travels to you as well
Oh my gosh that coffee looks perfect.
Its always so good to see you enjoying your life. Stay safe and keep sharing. Thanks
Thank you. I appreciate you watching
What a lovely video!!! A beautiful place, great views, good shopping - perfect. I hope you slept well.
I slept very well. One of the best parking spots ever. Thanks Liz
Greetings Scott, you were almost in our back yard. We'd love to meet you here, there or Pt Townsend.
It’s a great yard you’ve got
Oh just lovely and isn't it great! getting up really early during the summer months Scott ? That quiet peaceful moment❤
beautiful area
Another enjoyable video Scott, Thanks
Thanks Jan
Great video Scott. What a fantastic place. 😀
Thanks Lee
Loved this SO much ❤️ 👍
Thanks Raven
Ohhh you thought 7:30 was Early. 😅 ok.
Thanks for bringing us to such amazing places. 😊
Thank you Scott, I needed a laugh and you had me right up till the end. Ha!
That makes me happy
Another great video Scott. It reminded me of how great it was to live in Des Moines and hike in all the wonderful parks through little forests with views to the sound and blue snow-capped mountains. Also the cute towns with bakeries and cafés. Well, here's wishing you well. It's great to see these wonderful places again.
Ah, yes. Des Moines has some amazing views too. Thanks Joanne
Crime has increased. Sad to say.
Scott, i haven't tuned into YT in over a week because of connection issues, but, as soon as i got one, i started catching up with how everything is going by you. I think and believe that us viewers really appreciate your calm tone of voice and down to earth humble videos.
Good to see you, I'm here in Tillamook after being in Washington yesterday and it was steam heat. Arrrgh.
Coffee and cookies, oh yeah ❤
Looks really pretty there near the water
I've been to that park. Walked the trails all through there. It is really beautiful out there ❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video as usual. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you
Yes to the coffee
Watching this for the second time because I fell asleep half way through (again) last night. Such a soothing manner of speaking you have! ps. I use greek yogurt as sour cream too!
Happy to hear that I did my job well
I'm not a morning person either 😏 enjoy the cooler weather in the morning the heat here in castle rock wa is too hot.. 😒 enjoy your pretty scenery..
It’s a little hotter than I prefer
@@StaticCamperVan I agree.
Everything looks delicious
Hi there scott yes I was surprised that you were up so early. Great view also you had grass fed burger all you needed was some sourdough bread to make a cheeseburger. Drive safely
Have a good day 😊
Thanks Sharon, you as well
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it 😊 from IDAHO
Lovely update! With the heat so oppressive right now, the rain and cooler temps in your vid are refreshing. Every time I see you make tacos, I think I'd like to try making them that way ... and then I forget when I have corn tortillas. Maybe today will be the inspiration that happens!
Oh you simply must have tacos on the regular
Thanks!
Aww, Thanks so much Denise
Its been raining nearly ever day in England since last October, we have had no summer yet in north England where i live. Fed up with it. Bainbridge island looks so pretty.
I can’t believe it’s that cool there? Wasn’t Seattle experiencing the heat wave too? Crazeeee. I’ve gotta move NORTH!
Most all my videos go up on a delay. This was recorded a few weeks ago
@@StaticCamperVan ohhhh..did not know this was a few weeks ago since it says it was posted 4 hours ago on the sub. Ok. Well I hope u are staying COOL my friend! Thanks for the relaxing and informative videos.
: ) THANKS MUCH and WELL DONE indeed ! ! ALL the BEST and ENJOY, Cheers : )
Thanks Marty
Awesome, i will put that location on my list. I love birch bay. I love my sea to summit light spork. it is thin and long, as it reaches into deeper containers
Perfect way to spend my evening after working outside in my garden this eve. We are on our 3rd triple digit temp day in a row, here in Eugene, Oregon!!! Stay cool Scott!!
Oh my, that sounds terrible
❤ Good Evening Scott 🌃🌆🌠Nice Iland ! Beautiful Day there for Hiking and chilling out! Awsome 🤩🌟 Those Tacos look so Delicious 😋😋 Of Course your going to have Coffee and Cooky! Yummy 😋 Beautiful Town there Also! Well have a Great Night and catch you on the next 1 ✌️👌🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🤩🌻🌞🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌌🎇
When the parking sign says “4 hours, 8-6” you can actually park from 2 pm until noon the next day. The last four hours and the first four hours of the parking limit. After six you can park overnight. I used to do it on Bainbridge all the time when I worked in Seattle.
Awesome video Scott, thank you! You should head up to Whidbey Island and see Fort Casey! It’s beautiful
Another great travrlog. You never cease to bring amazing footage in sceneries.
Kno how you feel when wanting to get something and can't find, then the "AhA" moment. There it is. Such as the little things indeed.
😂 got me laughing, gracias.
Aaa great finale 🌧
Thanks Berni
❤ Love your video's.
Thanks Maryann
Ahhhh…and he shows the bakery name he went to at the end! Looks yum.
Thanks for noticing that detail
Only 14:12 in & 2 tings u seem in a splendid mood , ur editing sills improved 😮💨, hail up brethren, alway a gud day wen u post , tek it easy & god bless 🙌.
Thanks Ameer
what a sweet day-in-a-life vidio
Fun video - thanks... I've always suspected sour cream having a some connection with yogurt.
Were I live in London they opened one of the first taco bells in England a few months back 😄 Love the rain man I prefer it over any weather
I hear your comments and feelings about roundabouts. They’re just putting them here in Western New York and I absolutely love them. But I have to tell you many people express their feelings about roundabouts just as you do.
PS: my mother absolutely refuses to drive anywhere that has roundabout. I’ve tried to work with her on it and she’s like I hate them.
You remind me a bit of Bob Ross! Hello from West Seattle!
Ft. Worden and Ft. Flagler have huge battery tunnels if you are still in the area exploring. You can camp at both places too.
I probably won’t be visiting Fort Worden this year since I just did a video last year:

Thumbnail goes hard 🔥💯💯
Thanks!
Lakeshores are beautiful. You're lucky to be able to travel all over and be next to nature whenever you like.
Oops, you're on an island. So seashores are also beautiful. 😁
excuse me for a moment but why does this type of entertainment seem so right? I love it! I could watch these everyday. Its great detail of interesting things if you just listen closely.
thanks Scott! or as my family calls you "static" :)
I appreciate that, thanks Jason
I haven't explored Washington yet but it's high on my list for next spring.
Hi Scott. Bob n Pups east of Estacada in the Cascades.
Wow, thanks for the history! I didn't realize those were pre-WWI!!
If you like batteries and love beautiful scenery then you need to get over to Whidbey Island and go to Fort Casey in Coupeville (middle of the island). Great fort and beautiful layout with a light house. Coupeville is an idyllic small town. Just anywhere on the island is beautiful!!
Yes, it’s been a few years since I’ve been out to Whidbey
We used to call it Braindead Island because of the terrible drivers.
True
Cheers drinking coffee - (Humboldt Bay Coffee Company )
I have seen Fogline- been thinking I need to try it.
Humboldt does have some fine coffees- for sure!
Fogline sets up a booth at the Arcata Farmers Market on Saturdays. They always have samples available as well as cold brew.
I remember when you went to that " Fog Line"...
Coffee Roasting Place....
I think you also tried their Decaf.???....
That is a Beautiful Place....
Thanks for Sharing....
Yes, best decaf I’ve tried yet
Many years ago they built a huge roundabout in a major intersection in our city and after a decade of many accidents they wisely removed it. It was way too big and ahead of its time for us. Now we have much smaller ones in the newer neighbourhoods and they are working out just fine. I don’t know if we are still ready for a big one again though. 😂
My noise website has a great thunderstorm sound generator to help lull you to sleep at night. I use it everyday...except when it's actually raining.
I love Washington state. I live in Los Angeles but originally from Portland Maine and I found Washington similar to Maine but without the bone chilling winters 😊
Sweet dreams punkin!!! ❤
🎃
nice I am north of there on Whidbey
Best battery i have been to is ontop of diamondhead Hi
I go to PNW every year, but Bainbridge always has a special place when my wife and I were just getting serious. We took a trip together to Seattle and I have fond memories of Bainbridge and riding mopeds around the San Juan Island 20 plus years ago! Side note we looked at properties back then and we could have bought a vacay house for dirt cheap, nowadays a cool million.
That’s a nice story to hear. Thanks for sharing it
