I don't have a toothpaste idea. But, Witch hazel vs. Micro Cellular washes is a long time family secret. It is a great natural toner, but has so many other uses. Cheaper and better. I love your resourcefulness. Also just make a swivel for you kitchen spicket to rotate outside though a window, and have a wrap around curtain. I've seen it on several vans. Peace!

@@theprettycitykitty9302 thank you for your witch hazel tip. And yes I adore swivels.

Ugh. You guys are tough and resilient! I could never go to the bathroom in a jar or small potty chair. Lol. And to not have a warm/hot shower would be also a deal breaker.

You guys are the cutest couple ever! Love your videos so much!! 🥰❤️

Clair I honestly don’t know why you would ever want to wear makeup anyway, you’re beautiful just the way you are! I have been preparing for van life in my home for years by only showering 2x,s per week mostly to save water. I do have a bidet though i use every day for the essential bits. You didn’t really talk about that( maybe too private) I was counting on the solar camp shower,that Ive only used on the dog.LOL

Loved this video! Claire, you are so good in front of the camera and charming! And you have gorgeous skin! You have a lovely glow. Very interesting re the tiny bathroom, as I bought one for our future van, so was wondering how yours was working for you. Thank you for all of this information, to both of you, YES the video was helpful! Take care and safe travels!

A squirt bottle comes in handy for after potty rinses. Also bags for the inside of the potty are very useful, too! Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures!

Everything practical and useful. Public swimming pools have showers & a bathroom. Gov't buildings have public bathrooms. Wouldn't suggest public library bathrooms. Safe travels.

This was soooooo useful!!! Everything laid out and explained!!!! You guys are the absolute best!!!! I will never be able to thank you enough for the help you have given me!!! Safe travels!!! ❤️🚐

I love how open and humorous you are about the realities of vanlife :)

Super informative. You two are so adaptive and you make such a great team!

Your videos are very informative. It is amazing that you are traveling freely without being tied down to hotels, motels, etc. Thank you.

Well done as always👏🏾. You two really thought this all through. I always appreciate your informative and visually stimulating vids.

Thank you for sharing! Love learning from your experiences. I want to do this as well and on a budget so these tips are appreciated.

Love how honest you guys are. Thank you!

I’ve been binge watching and enjoying your van life videos. One thing that I’ve been obsessing over is your eyebrows. Lol. It’s always perfectly done. Can you do a short tutorial on it please? I’m sure I am not the only one who would be interested in viewing it. 😊

Chad and Claire, thanks for being so open about your habits. I thought this video was very interesting. Thanks again.

Love it. Learned a lot. Thank you.

This is the most organized & scripted video far superior to anything I have ever seen !!! You guys are Amazingly cute. Great Sharers ! Full face make-up ? WHY !? You are Gorgeous Goddess ! No need to ever return to it. 1st time I've ever seen time stamps w picture. Very Cool. TY 😁

Great advice!!

You should go to the diesel fuel island and ask the truckers if you can have one of their showers and you can get a shower for free. I always have unlimited showers on my card because I buy so much diesel and if I saw it too cute youngsters like you guys ask me for a shower I would be happy to give you a free shower. You guys are adorable you could be my kids!

Really enjoy your videos. You two are really interesting and inspiring to watch.

Lol.😂 Thanks for the info and laughs. Great video!

Wear flip flops in public showers to try and avoid athlete's foot and plantar warts.

Thanks for the tips guys

aww the company I shared just launched an amazing tooth line, its amazing. Im looking forward to using this when we travel

Simply a lovely couple!

Love the video can wait till I convert my van ☮️

Very useful tips!

A good content idea, at least why I started watching, is to see how packed the national parks are right now given covid and the vaccines. And if there are any new rules like at Zion with the shuttle. Just like special things to know that would help ppl that are looking to go out to the parks.

I’m only 6mins in but I just wanted to add a tip for you guys since you’re using so many different options for soaps and hair care. Dr.Bronners is a GREAT alternative & can be used as body soap, hair care, cleaning soap for dishes & whatnot, & lots more! even washing clothes…safe travels❤️❤️

Great video 📹my friend. See you on the next one.

State parks can often be accessed for 10 dollars or so for dry camping and will come with a shower. In addition, you get to camp in an amazing place. You can also fill up water and charge up portable power etc.

You guys are kool👍🏽 in my book.... I feel you ain’t nothing wrong with a little funky , it’s all good....Me ; Life is not perfect itself But when it’s time to , “get down with da get down” same book different chapter 🤣😂 ....Yup sometimes you gotta think like a trucker their on the road live also every where , they know all the good spots. Stay safe out there my friends thanks for your honesty and sharing ya 🙏🏽😎🤙🏽🇬🇺❣️

Great video 👍

I like to see these type if van life video...luxury van life is cool and all but this is more realistic for the average person !!!!

I would check out using wagu towels! I have about a dozen but I have 4 kids they work great for the towel situation!

In the future if u hv to buy new bath towels, try Turkish towels instead of terry cloth. It packs very light and can be used as blanket, sarong, etc.

You guys rock 💕

You guys are an inspiration and I’m looking to get the same model can you guys have 😁

Something you may want to check out: camping shower wipes. They are supposed to be as good as a shower for your body. You can get biodegradable ones on Amazon, if you have somewhere to get it shipped. It’s less than $15 for a pack of 45. I haven’t used them but they do have good reviews.

Good stuff👍🏻

great video and very interested in the toothpaste recipe. you guys are awesome.

thx!

Interesting, very interesting. 👍

Thank you so much for this. I am in the UK and have a VW 1970 Camper van I just purchased with no sink, toilet or shower. You have given me so much confidence to head out. You both look so clean and healthy despite not having the amenities that most people think they need. Thanks again! I now know what to do. x

Three things I noticed right away: 1) Aloe Wipes 2) Natural Homemade Toothpaste 3) Native Brand Deodorant Stick These three products alone, show how cerebral you are, and how pragmatic you think I said this once before, once you two fully realize that you are much more than the sum of your parts, you two are gonna BLAZE A PATH towards success in whatever you do in the future! Always my best to you two 🤗👏🏼

Wow👍🏾👍🏾

Very informative as always. Can you share your toothpaste recipe. I have the ingredients just need the amounts you add of each one. . Thanks so much. 👍❤

Yeeeeehaaaaaaw! 🤠

I get the jar for pee.. But how do you deal with poo in the toddler toilet? You didn't say? Do you poo into a bag of composting toilet stuff and bin it? Or what.. You didn't really explain how the toilet situation works. Why don't you buy a mobile camping toilet for eg canoeing tours?

Greetings from the netherlands 🇳🇱

Could you not buy and use a potty loo for camping ? I just can't imagine trying to do a no 2 in a jar then dealing with cleaning jar afterwards 😫

Please address how you keep the potty smells sealed until you reach an establishment to dispose. Also, how do you discretely carry the potty to dump. Do you have a potty for each of you?

Once again the website is Dual Ex this shower option is really point on!

Intéressant

what about for a 2009 Prius?

👍You both are adorable. Have you tried “dry shampoo” options? Thanks for sharing. Wishing you both the best. 💝

About five years back, I was over-bleeding during my period, and I got an IUD to help with that issue. Ever since then, I have only spotted during my period, which has been extremely convenient while living in the van. I carry a menstrual cup with me, but I have never needed to use it, since toilet paper was enough to catch the spotting and easier to dispose of. I definitely cramp like crazy, and that's a pain that I've always had to deal with. Since moving into the van, I've had to further navigate dealing with the pain, especially when they come out of nowhere on longer hikes. I'm definitely very fortunate to not have a heavy blood flow anymore, and I know that's not the case for most women! Sorry I couldn't really give much advice on this topic, but I hope this helps a bit!!!

What kind of water did you say that is that you put on cotton balls to wash your face? Great video.

hi guys chad claire, you are so pretty claire so lovable

You can sterilize the dental instrument by putting it in an oven for about 20 min after cleaning it

You don't need make up. It would hide your natural beauty

How dare you conceal with concealer. 😆🤣

no toilet n no shower? That's a very bad idea.

I'm man but women can't live without showering.

Very useful information may I ask how you make money while living in the van

Hahahahaha I’m sitting here like “goals” but lololol goals to not have a shower and a toilet??? Yes yes it is

sorry to say but hairgel when yoy wear a hat??

$15 for a shower?! Hell no. Wipes or a 5gal bucket and a gallon jug of water

Some of your hygiene habits are gross. U obviously dont understand spreading of germs.
