Thanks for the video! Keep up the struggle for freedom ;) Wood stove is a great idea..

[dallasfields]

Check craigslist for wood. In my area people are always trying to get it out of there yard and I get all mine for free

[kedeshfarmhomestead]

you could always check out craigslist for FREE firewood so you don't have to spend a penny and just cut it yourself, love your channel and keep up the good work guys

[thebusyzenbus]

find some farms or elderly families that live outside of town and ask if you can pick up sticks out of their yards. it will help them clean up and you get free wood. thanks for the budget info great video.

Thanks much looking forward to starting my schoolie life

Try Denver now. It's insane... this is why I am doing a bus conversion.

Lovin the new festive lights, guys! <3

[StevenDLightspring]

Wow, just ran across your channel...SO enjoyed your friendly, helpful, insightful, peaceful, two-gether vibe. (as I continue to envision and work toward just how I'm going to be "hitting the road" with my late-bloomin' troubadouring notions, and found your presence and presents of insight here very inspiring!) Looking forward to following you guys! Thanks so much for sharing with such refreshing candor and care!

Thank you so much for the info. 👍 God bless

Hey I know its near the end of the season, but before next year check out a diesel fueled bunk heater. Runs clean and about a gallon a day, used in Alaska and lots of sub zero places.

Great video! How much do you two spend on food? Do you buy organic food? Thanks for sharing your life with us! Cant wait to see more videos!

[southernrebel]

An informative video as usual, thanks y'all. Take care of yourselves and y'all's critters, YHVH bless.

Pine cones burn well and smell good :)

Dang back in the 70's I paid 275.00 + elec for a 1 bedroom apt in boulder (times do change huh?) lol good 2 C y'all doing well and hope your winter in Boulder goes well. C-ya

[paulapoblete]

Do you cook a lot? Do you have washer / dryer? Parking costs? I don't have a winter down here in Florida, but I'm concerned about where to park it, even while I convert it ....

[markmaue]

You forgot to add you gym membership to have showers, all in all I think it’s a cool lifestyle and I have plans to do the same at retirement time.

[llm]

This is fascinating! So where do you homebase? And how long can you park in your home base? If I am not a huge traveler but just want to live in a bus where could I park in long-term?

[lindalai]

What happens when the bus engine wears out????

[blackbeard]

Im looking for skoolie to drive in, maybe spending 2-3 weeks per state. So i would need one with good mpg. Thinking 25-30 feet one.

[DANIELESCOBAR]

great video!! my wife are in the begginning stages of our dream skoolie. but one thing i was wondering that you didnt mention in the video is what did you guys do as far as insurance for the bus. i have no idea how i would even start to search that or if it even excist for a bus conversion.
