I love your van. I used to have a cat that was good for traveling. I had a '66 Dodge Coronet that had one of those ring horns. She would not sit on your lap any other time; but, in the car, she would sit on my left side and stick her head between the horn and the steering wheel and thought she was being petted. She was in Heaven. I'd go visit my parents and sisters for the day and she'd just go along, in the house visiting everyone. Coolest cat ever. 🐈❤️

I love this channel. I have the money saved for a van but have been really thinking about if the IG and KZread videos glamorize vanlife or if it is really worth it. I ski/hike/mountain bike a lot but would have it for extended weekends and even working remote for a week or two. Not full time living. The day in the life videos is a great help. I also switched to vegan 5 years ago after my wife switched. I love good food and it’s been an amazing journey. Not telling anyone else to do it but we have had a great adventure. Take care and just wanted to say thanks from another PNW viewer. Oh and we have two foster kitties and one is a tortoiseshell. I can’t foster fail and keep this one but she sure is cute/sweet.

There’s certainly a lot of hype around vanlife. In our experience it does wear off pretty quickly but after doing it for about 5 years we think it’s 100% worth it. It’s a magnificent way to travel and you get to enjoy the comforts of home in all the different places. It’s truly amazing. A lot of the time does look like this though. It’s interesting because those glamorized vanlife moments do really exist! However most people don’t really show how for very cool hike or ski trip there’s lots of dishes, cooking, driving etc. It doesn’t mean there aren’t those amazing moments. They’re just surrounded by some tasks that are pretty monotonous at times!
Hi! I absolutely LOVE your van. A couple questions : we also travel with two cats - where do you keep the litter box? Also, while cooking, how do you keep airflow and prevent the smoke alarm going off without opening the door? Thank you!!

The editing is chef-kiss in every video, amazing cooking as always, I like the asmr bit, also love the clips where Seth ran back to grab the camera after getting the footage.

Little aesthetic and lifestyle question ;) Thank you again! good road!

Hi Scarlet and Seth, Like your vedio and your van interior design. Specially the shower room. I am always wonder about the cat pee and poo inside the van, will it has some smell. I have a cat at home too. His pp smell very strong. In the future, we have to bring him travel with us, spending a lot of time inside the van, I am so worry about the smell. How are you hanle it ? Please kindly advise your solution. Thank you very much. See you. Peter

I think male cat pee smells quite a bit worse than female pee. It also comes down to the litter you use. We use Pretty litter and it helps a lot with smell. As long as we regularly clean the box there isn’t any smell at all in the van!
