Love how you find enjoyment from the simple things in life like a good cup of coffee and the shelter of your van on a rainy chilly day. Take care!

Love your channel. I'm binge watching. Don't let the negative people and comments affect who you are. I love it. I'm a retired truck driver and enjoy looking at the places you travel. Like seeing old friends.

Here in Australia, shopper parking is time limited to stop commuters leaving cars there all day 🙃 it’s enforced by idiot security ppl (emergency services rejects/wannabes)…

The sound of the rain was so lovely

Really enjoyed this weather laden visit. Calming. Humor. Eats. Snacks. *** Yes, if the head is covered but the toes are cold, time to put the heat on! *** Was reminded to be grateful for my smallness - I can still pretty easily pass from the front to back / back to front of my mini-van (no need to go outside). But if I were taller it might not be so easy.

OMGOODNESS, you reminded me of a time I was lost in Texas. Seemed like nothing around for miles. Till found a different rest area next to an abandoned building. The rain was coming down hard, like this video. Did the best I could and even put my emergency brakes 😆. The sound of the rain was so calming I even was rocked to sleep with the van swaying. I actually slept peacefully

Your voice is so soothing and then the rain 🌧️ sounds in the background 💞

While you live your best life nested in your tiny mobile dwelling the same challenges exist for you as the next person who travels and shapes their lifestyle in a van. You face each element of the environment strategically. Your prepared and comforted by the nuances of your van design and make it home. You have successfully incorporated and embraced can life and made it work when the weather is good or poor. You figured it out. You seem content and squared away with your lifescape. That's something alot of people who have an apartment condo or sticks and bricks home don't have in the way you do. Good for you!

You did well with your cabin fever! I was on You Tube for the entire day and night watching Ryan Hall Weather reporting all those tornadoes that hit yesterday March 31, 2023. What a strange massive group of storms. I like hearing rain. I'd have had to take a nap. Cookies and Coffee, there you go! :)

Your Cookie rationalization is impeccable. I love Polenta with spaghetti / pizza Sauce and melted cheese. Mmmmm

I just love how you talk yourself right into things. I do the same. Plus, you pretty funny.

Scott you could look for underground parking to get out of wind& rain 👍🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄✌️🌞

Hi Leona. My first videos were pretty rough but they’re still up. Thanks so much

The last time I got a severe weather warning the rain stayed on full blast with heavy winds and off and on lightning and thunder. i parked close to the side of a. Walmart building that lessened the wind shaking my van. I was expecting a knock on my 🚪 but none came. When I woke up there were 4 cars parked in back of me. Later that day a police car passed he gave a thumbs up I did the same and he drove off. In snow my favorite is the lower level of a large multi level hospital parking lot I park fairly close to the elevator I have a handicap placard and handicap spots are near the elevators. I have met 2 other van lifers and we keep in touch and have spent. 2 snow storms together Its great when they shut the city down no cars are allowed on the roads. Maintenance crews come around and brush the snow off all vehicles and plow the driveways its a win win situation. If people are stranded Im told the hospitals have places to stay until the severe weather is over.

I hate wind. Makes me anxious. But I love the rain. You're looking cozy and calm in the midst of all that wind & weather. 😊

You do a great job with your videos. Very interesting.❤

This was 3 months ago. Hope that you're enjoying the weather, much more now. I would just kick back and do some sewing or something creative, and sip my tea, and listen to the rain, all day. Possibly watch some you tube, as well. A beautiful rainy day is gift... In my eyes. 🥀🌸💝💮🤗🥸💮💝🌸🥀

That weather means one thing in my world…NAP!!!

😋 yum yum ☕ reviews thnx Scott safe travels 💖

Uncle Eddie cookies are amazing and I did not know the those cookies at trader joes was made by same company. They are also very good

LOL!! Looks like a regular cookie size to me. ;)

Good coffee & yummy cookies on a bleak day. All cosy and warm, quiet and snug. Listening to the soft pitter-patter of rain on the roof. This video is a mood, and I'm here for it :)

Aww,Palenta! The Italians in World 2 eat that with Tomato Sauce!🌞👍✨

Kind of scary. I'm relieved that you're o.k!

I parked in a shopping center once near a movie theater, and a tornado came through, filled the parking lot with hail and a flash flood of rushing water. I thought I was going to die. 😅 Your best bet is to park as close to the concrete wall of the building as you can get.

I so enjoy your sense of humor 😊 "See it has my name on it" 😂

I’ve been getting older videos from you pop up on my feed today. I click on them and I’ve already given you a thumbs up, which means I’ve watched them. I’ve been rewatching. 🥰

I was traveling during severe weather one time. I saw tornadoes in distances and got off interstate and ended in small town. Everything was locked down tight. I parked the van between two brick buildings, in a small alley, until weather cleared. We ended up safe. Tornado missed town, but hit cars on interstate. Be safe out there!

I've lived in a car, a van in the rain and I love it, helps me sleep. Cindy

Omg u remind me of my husband and when I saw u put the nutritional yeast on your food I couldn’t help but laugh, he’d be perfectly happy with Van life too he’s always talking about it . Thanks for sharing your videos just subscribed.. 😀

Loved the video. Warm greetings from Australia. Safe travels

I lived in LA and Orange County before moving the SF. I worked with a few other former SoCal people. Our little joke was, "There's a feud between LA and SF, but LA doesn't know it."

Thank you for your company.

If you need more protection, try parking in a car wash stall. I live in okla. When we get hail or wind we would park there. Also check if any places have underground parking. Like malls or office buildings.

I listened to all ads as an appreciation for your work.

Uploaders aren’t supposed to talk, but I can. He only gets paid if the commercial is played all the way through. The first week of December 2022, they started playing double but shorter commercials with the first one mandatory. The best way to support a channel you like is to let the commercials play. Also subscribe and take the time to go through and make a small positive comment for each video then give all the rest of the comments a thumbs up. This may take you 5 minutes per video. Viewer/subscriber enthusiasm is definitely noticed by the algorithm and helps push a channel to the front page which begets more views and subscribers. Hours of watch time is king, but everything helps. I have heard of viewers who mute their device and turn it face down while the commercials play, but I would never condone that.

just found your channel Cooking Oats for Breakfast. Always cooked mine the day before. Bring to boil with oats already in, give it a stir when boiled, put lid on and take off gas then cover with a thick cloth. it will cook on its own over night. it turns out solid and a clean pan. i put mine in a microwave to heat up, but i guess you'll use the pan.

I have watched many of your videos and what I see as a common theme is a kind, considerate human being, you like to have time alone to think about what life is about, your plan to travel and work as you can, is solid, because you can work at any age in any job, pride is what you have, you take care of your needs, now that is a great place to be in life, and hope you get more to take care of van issues.
