Mela & Don share videos and insights from their unique travels.
As they travel North America in their self-converted 1996 MCI D3 Bus Conversion in search of a new place to call home, they dive deep into the culture, history, landscape and climate of different areas. With dreams of tiny house living, organic farming, earthship adventures, bee keeping, cyborgism, travel, and passing on a planet with clean air and fresh water to the next generations. They share not just the external journey across land, but their internal journey of what they learn from travel, the quest for a simple, happy and healthy life.

Where can u park for the bike path?
No kidding you don't feel good. Eating raw eggs is enough to make anyone 🤮
I’m a retired Safeway driver and pulled a 50’ trailer across 20 to Fort Bragg 3 times per week. I loved that drive except in the fog.
Love the Arizona landscape, but no thanks on the fasting. :D I really like the rock tracks in the open, by the way.
People that know how to spray, have done too much to remember and reflect on the early days. So you now have some hands on experience and ALOT of WHAT NOT TO DO. If you find this an EPILOG to painting with the Wagner would be helpful. For instance, I saw how slow you were moving on the primer coats. Then you were buzzing around with the colour coat and especially the clear coat. Did you change the settings ? Did you trade off fast moving and more coats ? How in the H. could you tell where you had sprayed clear coat and where not ? Small jobs memory is able to say I did here no I will do there ! But 40 feet and 8 feet high, too much for instant memory, can you actually tell where the latest clear coat has landed(where not ) ? Most of all, you got to rewind and o it again from the start, what is the major change, or better put, for the painting of my next bus I would ....... How did you deal with the bugs leaves, dust that lands in the not yet dry paint surface ? i have seen videos talking about needing to polish up the finished paint job, to get the shine. You didn't and yet it looks great. FYI: Every tiny mistake I make while doing a job I notice. I can show you on my hardwood floors where I didn't offset and the ends line up, but no one else can. And in time it really doesn't matter. Your bus is beautiful and will out last because the extra effort you put into prep...Cheers
Looks amazing!! You both did an amazing job converting that bus! I just had to sub to see what you both get up to while on your adventures!! Safe travels!!
Years ago I tried a three day fast (Monday - Wed) weekly. I definitely felt a lot healthier. I did this for several months. I had read that the body rids itself of toxins in 3 days. Not sure if that info is still true, however, I definitely felt healthy doing the fasting. I didn’t include any food, only liquids, mostly water, no coffee, herbal teas. Anyway, congratulations on the idea and completing the goal.
We lived in Willits for 13 years. Thought we'd go to the coast a lot, thought I'd volunteer at the Mendocino Music Festival, but that one hour of twisty windy road - even in a compact car - was wearing. We ended up going over to the coast for breakfast in Fort Bragg and the music festival a couple of times a year and that was about it.
Love U Guys Always ❤❤❤❤
As a skier for 40 yrs now, if you want SPECTACULAR , come here in the winter ....Especially after a big snowstorm when it clears out and you have a bright sunny day the next day...For me , its my favorite scenario on planet earth...And there is so much to do in the Tahoe area all around the lake whatever time of yr it is and whatever your into....Also some fantastic day trips in the surrounding areas....Truckee, Reno, Carson City, Genoa, and one of my favorites Virginia City....Love that place especially during one of the little annual festivals they have there like the Camel Races (also usually a large bike run) the outhouse races, mountain oyster cookoff...Used to love the Hippie days festival but i dont think they do that one anymore ....
NO !! DON'T MOVE HERE !!! GO SOMEPLACE ELSE ,,MAYBE HELL !!!!!! >>>>>> J D
Ong… I am still searching for my bus and I know it will be awhile before I can make it to my first skoolie-palooza, but I can’t wait!!! And for an anti-social hermit like myself, that is a huge step for me.
Wiley is one in a million, a grate dude.
You guys are better than this click bait!
Respect to the bus mechanic, he's a real one. He was super professional and helpful
Actually, La Posta serves New Mexican food, much more chile centric than Mexican food.
The I-35 Corridor is a hot mess, along with the weather. Hope you enjoy sitting in traffic, in heat over 100 degrees and rude out of state people. Signed a Native Texan.
It would be better fasting in a cooler climate that way you both would have less headaches and that feeling of brain fog as that can cause serious affect in your health on hot days!.
To much vegetarian-Fasting works with meats and protein-Carnivore 🥩
Surprised you didn't take 128 through the Anderson Valley and Boonville. Much better road for RVs.
Cool shadow ❤❤❤❤
Hello 👋 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you guy's ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great job with the fasting. We’re going on a sugar fast… possibly the whole 30. Last time we did it was during our bus build. Made it 45 days! I was a bean pole 😄 I’d say the biggest challenge with a strict diet in the bus life is that the fridge is at arm’s reach. You w got to get out and do things to stay busy and keep your mind off of the food.
True! 😆
Cats man, I tell you what. 😉
On the back of the bus : You missing the name, " MELA and DON". And a GT strip down the side of the bus. Match up with the Jeep. Thank you for another awesome video living in your own Backyard. Regards 🇿🇦
Yes it can be difficult when first starting ... I find which helps is making sure plenty of fruit and veggies as snacks ... and blended as drinks with protein shake ....as alternative snack. Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts about this . loved the video
Thanks for the tips!
@@Rehabit8 You are so welcome ... Take care of yourselves is so important.. xx Also drinks such as Ag1 could be a good one to add .. (being in NZ I drink Nutrient Rescue ) similar type of drink.
@@HeKatesCrossing thx! Yeah I love my AG1 🙌
@@Rehabit8 ohh That is good ... At the mo I have also added a turmeric and Ginger shot in the morning and have found it has really helped with immune and energy .. I am always looking for new things to try lol 😍
Welcome back!🎉🎉🎉
Hi you two. I hope all is well with you and your bus. I would love to be in the mountains instead of here in Florida roasting.
👍👍
This Video Was Completely Amazing. The Work You Guys R Putting Into These Videos Is Absolutely Superb !!! Or should I SPECTACULAR???? LOVE U ALWAYS 💓 GOD BLESS YA'LL ❤❤❤❤
Ha ha!!! SPECTACULAR shows you are a dedicated watcher 🙌 thanks so much Tammy
@Rehabit8 I Love U Guys n The Kitty's 2. Safe Travels Always ❤️ 🙏
Heyy Mela, Don, Pizzicato and Mr SweetFace, it's great you were able to stick to your fasting, beautiful views Mr SweetFace was ready to go lol,how is everything on the bus now, hopefully no more problems, stay safe
She is driving great now!!!! Thanks for asking 😘
Well done with the Fasting. it was good that you kept it going for the full week. I don't worry about food. I can go all day with just a little food. I have never eaten a Breakfast and although I am up early every day food is not on my mind, we all have different ways of coping so long as you are happy.
Add a quality electrolyte like LMNT and then plenty of water throughout the day.
In Texas in the summer eat Prk cops and eggs with toast for brunch ! Dinner meal big Ribeye steak and a cheese bake potato with lots of butter and bacon bits ! I just got to chime in that health stuff you two cook ? Goes right to water and exits quickly ! If you know what I mean ?😂
One of the best builds I have ever seen. Beautiful
Thank you!
I've been doing 16/8 IF for the past 9 months (with eating window generally from 11am-7pm) and have not only lost more than 20 pounds, but also dramatically improved all my metabolic numbers including my total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and glucose. I am almost 69 yo and my numbers are the lowest they have been in decades. I do not deprive myself of foods I enjoy, including having my coffee with skim milk even during my fasting window (known as a "dirty fast"); but the biggest game-changer for me was not eating anything after my eating window closes. Yes, there are days when I may fast less than 16 hrs, but there are also days where I may go as many as 24 hrs. I was even able to do a modified version of IF throughout a 5 week cruise we just completed and the blood tests I just took post-cruise show that my metabolic numbers are still excellent. Please know that the headaches, brain fog and not feeling 100% are totally normal bodily responses during the early weeks of fasting. Also know that weight loss will be more dramatic in the early weeks than it will be as time goes on. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing your experience! This is very encouraging 🙌
Hi Mela & Don, hope you both ok, you will get used to your intake of food, your doing great, do what works for you, the food looked delish😋the park up looked lovely and your neighbours(cows) looked cool, love your home, so homely, loved this video to, thank you for taking us with you, enjoy yourselves and please take care stay safe, love use 🩷💙🐱🐱
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching
You should start way slower, like add 1 day per month until you at your goal. Otherwise you are shocking your system and are doomed to fail.
It's sad when the cats eat better than you.....!!! hahaha. .....Russell D.
😂 our cats eat so well! Lol
Fasting is something you should work up to and it helps if you are fat adapted, meaning you should cut way back on carbs and make sure you’re getting enough fat in your diet.

@rehabit8:LOL - obviously fully aware of that. The invented name, by the far-left Woke ANC regime of "Gqeberha" is Fake and Marxist - cultural Marxism to be exact - no-one gets to change any name because "they don't like the original name" - you cannot gazette a new answer to 2+3=5 because you regard it as "colonial maths" once taught to to our ancestors - same applies to place names. Thus the change is invalid.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_city_name_changes here’s a list of cities ALL over the world that changed names. Even London and New York once had other names. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. These are the facts. Everything changes. The land itself changes let alone the names of land. I leave this information here for whoever reads this because these are the facts, not opinions
The treasure is alot closer ✨️ then y'all thinking but good luck 👍 🎉🎉🎉
nice video .thanks for sharing
Madonna and child waterfall... had many picnics besides it
What site number did you have? Do you remember?
I do not, this was a few years ago. But at the end of the row there was a little loop around the restroom. We were the first spot after the loop
Sat here watching whilst eating a huge steak pie. Sorry, folks.
