Living In A Van In The Winter | VANLIFE SNOWSTORM

hi everyone welcome back to my youtube channel today oh freak god lee damn it bad gum let me break my ankle out guys as you can tell i'm in a van i live in a van and i'm snowed in today i've never been snowed in before especially in the van so today's gonna be quite interesting i'm freezing i don't have the proper tire as you can tell so it's gonna be a wild day so stick around for the whole video and if you end up liking this video make sure to like comment subscribe and turn on all notifications so you don't miss out on my weekly snowflake just got my weekly content okay let's go inside come on [Applause] well today is going to be a wild day millie get off the bed you got your own bed come on really off the bed come on come on you got your own bed right there okay you know what since you're being really cute and it's a snow day i'm gonna let you sleep in the bed okay i just want you to know i love you and care about you a lot okay you're the best puppy i've ever had okay i love you enjoy the bed so where i'm at currently in north carolina it's supposed to snow for today and a little bit of tomorrow constantly so i think i have a lot of snow now but in reality there's gonna be so much more snow to come and i'm a little sketched out about it but we need to make some breakfast so that's exactly what we're gonna do today there's gonna be a lot of cooking in this video i feel like because that's all that we really have to do but that's okay because we love cooking and we love food so at some point today we're gonna have to do the dreadful work of going outside somehow climbing on top of my van and then cleaning off my solar panels we should actually do that sooner rather than later actually i'm going to check my power real quick because i'm willing to bet that we're actually pretty low because last night i was gaming quite a bit i don't know if you guys can see but we're at 12.3 volts which isn't like super low but as we get into the night that's when it gets a little sketchy especially since we're not pulling in any wattage from my solar panels because there's probably a bunch of snow on top right now so we need to be really conservative today with our power which is unfortunate but it's got to be done i think i'm going to sit right here and look at the view as i eat my delicious breakfast i need i need some relaxing time i need to sort of just chill out for a second and just eat wow i just realized i can't see anything out of this window i am so thankful for this beautiful day to be able to be snowed in and have the luxuries of a heater lights food and fresh water to survive through this blizzard i am very thankful for today i'm thankful for this van i'm thankful for my life this is amazing [Music] amen [Applause] [Music] all right it's time to go see if we can clean off those solar panels and see if that really even does anything because even if i do clean off the snow on the solar panels there may still not be enough sunlight in the sky because it's so cloudy to even fuel my battery bank so we're just gonna go up there sweep it off check my app to see if it's even pulling any wattage and then if it's not i'm not going to keep cleaning them off throughout the day all right so i got a broom i have hope and i've got determination let's go clean off these solar panels okay all right we need to do this quick so basically my game plan is to climb up from the back and start sweeping so let's do it okay the door's locked real quick gotta unlock it do not try this at home kids oh oh it's slippery it's slippery we're doing it we're doing it please don't die trent please don't die i can't lose you today trent okay now we've got to figure out how to get down without dying because i certainly could die if i wanted to but we're not going to today we're not dying today oh hands are frozen hands are frozen or our oh hi it's me from the future to tell you guys about today's sponsor fantic in their brand new evo 300 portable power station along with their evo 100 portable solar panel and in the behind the scenes of this very video that you're watching right here i was actually using both of these products to help charge my camera batteries my laptop and even my phone because i was in a sticky situation where i needed to conserve on power and this was a great backup power source this portable power bank can support up to nine devices simultaneously both ac and dc and it can power up to a 300 watt device which is insane for how small and compact this thing is and when you pair it with the evo 100 portable solar panel not only is this thing super compact durable and rigid but this solar panel has a 23 solar conversion rate which is one of the highest on the market which is insane so if you want to pick up one of these bad boys i highly recommend you tap the link in the description below and claim yours today because not only is this a great backup power source but you can also use it as your main power source this thing performs incredibly well and i highly recommend it shout out to fantic for sponsoring this video now let's get back to the shenanigans uh am so cozy right now [Music] the past few days have been rough mentally for me i've been feeling very defeated trying to balance my full-time job and youtube and life and relationships and all that it's just a lot going on so i've been trying to find that that nice balance and it's been tough and i've been feeling pretty low lately but it's nice to have a day like this where it sort of reminds you of how blessed you really are in your life yeah i'm really stressed about my job and all this other stuff but at the very least i have this awesome amazing van that allows me to come to beautiful places like this and experience weather like this that could be deadly for most but for me it's for it's fun and that's a great perspective to have and be reminded of and i'm thankful for that [Music] it's a good day [Music] [Music]
