what's up everybody welcome back to our channel we're Eamon and Bec and we live
in our self converted Sprinter van all year round I don't know why but we do
if you're new around here you might not know that we owned a tea company (Chaiwala Chai) based
out of Toronto Ontario Canada and that keeps us put here in cold snowy Canada
for the winter months unfortunately so if you're crazy like this or
like us and you want to learn more about living in a van in winter stay tuned
we're gonna get all into the dirty details if you're an intelligent human
being take your vehicle and drive south that's what you should be doing before
we get a little bit more into flannel sheets one of my favorite topics I would
like to let you know that this video is sponsored by Squarespace
so big shout out to the people over at Squarespace we're gonna get into that a
little more
okay let's turn the news I'm gonna just vlog ik the desire to make this video
started two nights ago when you and I were in the office and we came out to
the van and there was snow everywhere and for a long time we could just
pretend that it was like gonna get cold but it wasn't happening now it's cold
it's cold and it's not even near where it's gonna be the biggest game changer
of the season has been these flannel sheets I know they're hideous guys and
they've got little nori Jerry I don't like the red dots Jerry bought these for
us and even has an aversion to the color red a version a version what does that
mean like you don't like the color red oh I have a serious aversion to cover at
color ahead I got a lot of questions for you guys about my wardrobe and whether
we have a seasonal turnover the answer is yet we're lucky enough to have an
office space so we have one box that we kind of put our summer stuff in when
it's winter and take out our winter stuff when it's winter you know what I
mean I only have this space for all of my
clothing and so I'm gonna pull out myself you can put three sweaters in
there
that's our bob suit now if you don't have an office space like us maybe you
have a friend or a parents house we can just leave honestly this is all we have
a little box of stuff and it's a really great opportunity also to like go
through your clothing and make sure that you're gonna wear everything and if you
don't like something anymore donate it I can't donate this this is my sister's
dress so normally I'd fold it really nice but you
know we're on a time crunch with the camera on my face here so that's gonna
go don't blame the camera money hold it up nice back up there until its hyah
one more tip for a minimalist wardrobe in winter it's so important to layer
layer layer layer layer layer that's that buddy
the lighting is much better back so make sure you layer you guys because honestly
it's the only way to survive how many you got
oh me too I don't know why I did that we're gonna add that out right no I want
to get a nice big comfy right yeah something for your feet yeah we didn't
insulate our floor properly and it is freezing waking up in the morning I
dread it every single time so this little guy is just not gonna survive
surprise so what's the plan here because this little guy was really good for like
putting shoes so where were ya so I'm gonna have that guy on top of the other
little guy really that's ugly well maybe we'll have to compromise okay and as per
usual we have decided to go out at the worst time possible
rush-hour traffic normally around this year in Canada we start thinking about
tires what tires do we have on our man we have the Coyotes yeah that doesn't
mean anything to me either but they're good they're like all season tires the
reason why I won with them is a they're super great for offroad
but be either there's winter rated so you have to swim over it's a no-brainer
it is mushy for fan light for you don't know if you're going to the mountains or
going on a desert or you don't know what you don't want to be limited by your
tire can you see okay our office is right near a bunch of
outlet stores is that what they're called outlet stores have discounted
versions of the store so we're gonna pop in shop number one no bueno it's
interesting because our space is both a front door and a cozy like family way
you almost need a rug on top of all right okay let's keep looking
shop number two just not cozy enough an arm to the neck I'm to the one two you
don't have a mat that size are you crazy
and this one actually looks like it might be fun arms that's a perfect
measure it
buddy we're supposed to be looking for a map I know but look at these these
actually match the theme of the Canada flannel that we have on our bed Oh cute
exactly sure why we left the last place without getting a map but now we're in
another place why do we do that you got to go to a specialty shop for that by
now you snake there take the lavender back crack it open how would you rate
your experience right now we treasure me ugh this that has anything the boot rate
is the ugliest thing I'd ever seen too big you had me convinced that that's
what we needed well it's kind of key like if we have
our boots well we're gonna have our boots yeah imagine like getting in with
the boots and just oh yeah good thing we brought our measuring tape I think that
this is the best man
I know that a lot of very smart people out there are going to tell me you
should wash your sheets before you put them on your bed but I can't wait and we
don't have a laundry machine in her house so I'm just gonna put these
beautiful new flannels on while aiming sorts out the rug for us how's that
looking bits not that bad oh never mind it's pretty bad yeah that's pretty bad
this is perfect for us cuz it's a true little trailer and also I can hardly
believe it but this company knows us so well they've put tempeh bacon yeah I
wonder how they knew to put tempeh that's no time to change it I got to cut
out this angle here but also it looks like we're a little bit too big of a
deal and we're a little tight over here
the boot tray looks ridiculous to some odd minute but I have been using it for
about four or five entrances and I like it
I do back I like it what do you think I mean I get it but not we envisioned I'm
going to change it to my flannel PJs they are another thing I highly
recommend for van lights so give me a second here all right I don't know why
but we're getting we're getting all comfy and cozy and we haven't even had
the Dennis we have you know what made the other night what we got our suits
okay we want to make that ah should we tell
them about it yeah or Shibley way no we should give
them a sneak preview of something that we do for oh hey in the winter we do
this batch making of soups dried soups and they're perfect for van life they're
actually going to be recipes in our eBook oh wow wait wait hold on hold on I
want to see them like properly that's pretty what's when you and I have um
let's do detox so these are gonna be some recipes in
our cookbook guys the reason why they're amazing is because you can literally
whip up a bunch of these and then on a night where you don't know what you want
to do you just chuck it in there and you add like 8 cups of water let it
simmer for like 15 minutes boom you got a bangin soup
yeah hearty like protein heavy just delicious maybe it will just Netflix and
chill while we wait for that to cook okay I need about 15 minutes here of
patience with our heater on all night our house becomes super super dry and
we're like can't even swallow in the morning so we are just currently
searching on Amazon for a humidifier which is pretty cool
