The day is spent preparing their van in Squamish, which includes getting an oil change, organizing storage, and installing new interior lighting with the help of a friend. The journey officially begins the following morning with a ferry trip to Vancouver Island.
Good morning guys! It is the first day that I don't work. So yesterday I just
quit my job. I'm gonna be on the road with you guys for the next six months. I
still got up like really early. I got up at 5.30 to edit some videos so I guess
technically I'm still working but with YouTube stuff but no it's it's not work
it's it's fun time. I enjoy I enjoy getting up early to edit a video no
problem. So I got a coffee this morning. I just did a small little walk with the
cat. I'm gonna do a little one a little on but yeah we do have a lot of things
to do this morning. I need I'm gonna need to go to storage, oil change, all
those little things to prep. We're gonna spend probably the night in Vancouver
and tomorrow I'm gonna be on the first ferry to Vancouver Island. So let's do
all of those little things that we need to prep the van and all that so we can
enjoy our trip. All right guys.
So I just came back from the storage because I was like oh I need to pick up
a couple things that I need for my road trip and I realized that I don't need
anything. I bring one bin because I do have the space underneath my bed for
three and only had one inside and I pretty much didn't put like I put a
couple things just to put a couple things to be honest. I'm gonna be
back in Squamish here in one month because I do have a bunch of stuff to do
so I'm gonna have to clean the whole storage and get rid of it. That's just
stupid. I don't need anything but I do have so much space underneath my bed
empty space that I was like I need to fill it up. I need to put some stuff here.
I don't know. I don't need it. I mean I have like one bin upstairs like in my
storage that it's gonna be like things that I want to keep but not very useful
right now but other than that I do have everything. I do have tools, something
broke, something broken in the van and all those little things but I yeah I
don't know. I'm gonna have to figure out something. I don't need anything. That's a
good thing about. So all right. So the orcs changed now.
All right. We are just done here in Squamish. We're heading back to we are
getting Hoover right now. Meet with Joseph. He's gonna try to install my
lights. I purchased some lights. I'm not quite sure if the right thing that I
need it but he's gonna check that out and yeah that's the plan for the rest of
the afternoon.
So you just chopped that? Just chopped that. Garbage? Yeah. I mean sadly. Sadly. Yeah.
Yeah. So these are live now. So let's see. This one is straight. This one's got the straight.
So plug that into one of the lights. Okay. Yep. Straight. Twist this one on. Ta-da.
You want to hit the switch on there? Hit it again. Yeah. Okay. Yep. So that's right.
So this is us working on the electrical right now and this is the view that we
have. Not bad. All right guys. The electrical is done. Let me show you. Just
press here. Have lights inside. So guys me and Joseph gonna go get some sushi
because we've been working on the electrical and lights and quite hungry
right now. So yeah. Let's go for some sushi guys.
Hey guys. Me and Joseph just came back from eating some food and I'm so happy
with my lights. It makes such a big difference on my van. You have no idea. I
had those little lights with rechargeable battery and like when they
were like brand-new they were bright not even not even close to that but they
were bright and as soon as you know like you use them like after like a day of
two like I was having a hard time to read sometime and all that so it's
I'm so happy they look perfect so we put them over there because on my ceiling I
do have fabrics and reflex underneath so would have be hard to put them there
with the wire and like all this so I'm so glad and I'll park on a nice spot
tomorrow morning gonna be able I'm gonna be able to leave for the ferry Joseph
and just you're probably not gonna be able to see him but he's right in front of us
and we do have the view of Horseshoe Bay which is where we're gonna take the ferry
tomorrow morning so super exciting I'm gonna take the first ferry tomorrow
morning probably around 530 I think it's left I'm gonna wake up sorry at 530 so
yeah I'm super happy to have lights thank you so much again Joseph I really
really appreciate and yeah I guess tomorrow it's the real adventure on
Vancouver Island super excited I don't even quite sure exactly where I'm gonna
go tomorrow I'm just gonna go with my feeling and I'm sure it's gonna be
awesome so I will see you in the next video guys all right bye
