72 Hours Of Van Life In The Desert!! (WILD)

How to vanlife? Thats the question! After three years living in a van we’re van camping alone in the desert in a phenomenal free camp spot- find out how! And see how our friend Colin trys it out for the FIRST time. These remote off the grid van camps are top notch here in the Southern USA. Back in our van and travel vlogging is feeling good…we’re taking in some quiet moments in the countryside and I think you’ll like that a lot too. We hope you enjoy Arizona, the beautiful red rock and a jam packed week. Glad you could meet our friend Colin we’re excited to share his future adventures in his van with you all too. Stay tuned as we continue living in the van as we carry on south on our giant road trip from Canada to Mexico. Enjoy our first days back In our van :)

3+ Years of Van life with 2 dogs
Off- Grid Living at our Cabin in the woods

Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

If you watched until the end of the video you’ll know next week we are experiencing some hard moments. We probably never would have filmed any of it had Colin not been traveling with us (as we couldn’t even think of the camera at that time). I wanted to mention that Izzy is okay and we’re going to share more next week once we process the footage. We 💛 You Pack!

[budgetwithcam]

I'm glad izzy is okay, I instantly started to cry when I heard you say she was dieing. As an animal lover, you never want any animal to go through anything horrible. Love you guys, see you next week! 💜

[jachensh]

The cinematography of this week's vlog was on another level. Wow...blown away. You girls just get better and better. Relieved to read that Izzy is ok.

[ctgctg]

Glad Izzy is ok. Lots of positive thoughts. Glad you found an urgent care for Izzy. Hang in there.

Hi!
I just wanted to thank Colin for capturing the rawness of the calm van life can bring! I've had a van for the last 4 year and with Covid I find it hard to have these beautiful moments of calmness.

I do not drive my van in Canada's winter and so these few months of feeling away from my home have been pretty hard. I've also been thinking of maybe selling it because van life during the pandemic is just not the same...

This week's video brought me to tears all the way true because of how beautiful the views are and simple and grounding van life can be.

You brought me home today and I'm so grateful that I could experienced that!

Thank you Crystal, Jaz, Izzy, Bella & Colin!

Hope you have an amazing day, you are loved!

(French is my first language, sorry for the grammar mistakes ahahah)

From 13:55 until 15:55 may be the best videography and music choice you ladies have ever posted. Beautiful and artistic. Well done.

[rachellec]

So glad Izzy is ok and you were able to get her to the vet. My heart sunk when I saw the end of the vid and I’m grateful that you posted a comment that she’s ok!!

[susiesmith]

This video has been one the most stunning videos you've ever presented. It was magic from beginning to end. Thank you. Love the time with Colin and your fur babies.

[colinandpaige]

Thank you for this special adventure! Your work ethic and dedication to learning this craft is so impressive, and you two deserve all the success coming your way.... Love y'all 💛

[philstreeter]

Thank god you put a comment that Izzy is okay. I was crying when the video ended as I'm a huge dog lover. We had a dog kennel for many years when I was young, so it hit me hard to hear that Izzy was in distress. I pray that she recovers back to normal self. Love you four more every week! Be safe and give the izzy a big hug for me. Be safe!

[theremainingremnant]

[saner]

Had to calm my heart till I read that Izzy is ok. Is it the fresh air or a healthy filter that’s got you girls looking so radiant. Keep doing what your doing! Your happy is our happy☮️🕊

[daisysampson]

[audreyhartsock]

My heart is in my throat right now and I immediately got tears in my eyes when I heard “she’s dying” at the end of the video! Thanks for letting us know that Izzy is ok. Sending hugs and prayers for Izzy and both of you as you take care of her!❤️

[wayneblank]

My heart just dropped and tears started rolling, I’m so glad Izzy is OK

[betzaidavazquez]

So Happy to hear Izzy is okay, and Bella too. Thanks for sharing your everyday life on the road, so glad there was also a friend with you. Sending you all Positive vibes for Happy, Healthy, and Safe Travels ahead. 💕🐾🚐🙏👍

[belindahargest]

So so glad Izzy is ok, I’m sure I would have been panicking all week until you let us know. So glad you put it in the comments. ❤️🐶🐶❤️

[florenceameliastbernard]

My heart dropped when that clip played, my florence is everything to me and the thought of something happening, as always, you ladies deal with everything thrown at you. X

[AliceinWonderlandzz]

OMG. Glad Izzy is ok. I was just telling Max (Max&Occy) we watch to see you experiencing life - not just the high points and cool places. Thank you for sharing everything with us. Sedona is amazing. I have friends up there and have been in those vortexes. I'm not generally an energy/spirit person but I felt things there I've never felt before and a connection I've never experienced - everyone should visit.
