Dave Ramsay, half of the duo behind Dave & Matt Vans, started his van journey five and a half years ago in an effort to reduce his expenses and free up some resources so he could start his own business - NOT the same one as the van build company he has today. He had so much success with this that his entrepreneurial endeavors grew and he started many new enterprises along the way.

Matt’s van evolution was a fairly organic progression to building a life that better suited his work and hobby interests. He didn't really set out to live life this way but circumstances and pursuing his joy led him to seasonal van living, teaching, traveling, and starting a van build company.

We’ve all heard that morning routines are good for us, that they’ll make us happier, more productive, and all-around better people, right? But how does one actually START and further - MAINTAIN a dang morning routine? How do you start from no routine whatsoever? How do you ensure that the routine you partake in is actually good for you?

I’m going to give my experience on the holy morning routine and how I’ve developed the one I have today in this week’s episode.

If you’ve been listening to me for a while, you’ve heard me say that van living simplifies the complicated, and it complicates the simple. There are certainly PLENTY of things that I used to do in my sticks and bricks life that I no longer can or need to take part in. There are SO MANY things that I no longer can or have to buy.

This might sound like I live a perfectly minimalist, simplistic life - and in some ways I do, sure - but I’ve also gone ahead and complicated a lot of pieces of my life, too.

In this week’s episode, we’re going to dive into the things I no longer do or buy as a long-term, full-time van lifer. It’s a little sarcastic, it’s a little satire, it’s all honest.

“I could never do what you’re doing ALONE.” “Do you get lonely?” “I couldn’t live in a van/go hiking/go camping/do anything ALONE.”

And, to be honest. Neither could I. 

Just a few years ago, my social anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t even go the grocery store alone much less go for a hike or even consider moving into a van by myself.

In this week’s episode, I want to share some of the steps I took to go from Far Too Anxious to Do Much of Anything to Totally Chill with Doing Things and Being Alone a Lot of the Time.

AJ Carillo and his wife, Nicole, own and manage the land of Deer Tree Farm in Hotchkiss, Colorado. They moved from the Front Range in 2016 and have been building their regenerative farm ever since. These days, they have a dog, a human child, and countless farm animals to tend to in addition to thousands of trees and thousands of other plants.

I wanted to create an episode where many of the FAQs and logistical questions about living in a van are all in one place. In this episode, we go over mail, insurance, electrical, water, eating healthy, gas mileage, showers, laundry, and more. As always, if you have additional questions, send 'em my way and I'll do my best to answer them!
