Surviving -7 Degrees Without Heating in Our Van

This week, one of our worst van life nightmares came true - our heating stopped working in the freezing cold, and no one was able to help us. But what happened next came with a surprising payoff, and we learned once again that van life is all about going with the flow 🌿 ➢ Watch Our Other Van Life Adventures In Europe: • Van Life Spring Reset By a Remote Lake in ... ➢ Join our Members' Community to Support Our Channel and Enjoy Extra Content: / @roots-in-the-wild Hi, we’re Jessica and Risi and together with our puppy Heidi we’re exploring Europe full-time in our cosy cottage on wheels! A year ago we left behind our old lives working 9-5 for a life of freedom and adventure. We bought our second hand van “Bilbo”, which we converted using sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, linen and hemp to create an eco-friendly home for our adventures 🚌 In this episode, we deal with a number of setbacks in the Italian Dolomites, where we had originally planned to spend a few weeks. Instead, we drove all the way to southern Italy. What began as a challenge became a journey we’ll never forget - filled with stunning landscapes, foraging, and unexpected joy 🌞 Chapters: 00:00 The Dolomites 01:20 Van Troubles 02:50 Surviving -7°C 04:50 Heading South 06:38 Sunrise in Gargano 09:20 Foraging Wild Rosemary 12:48 Mythology of Gargano 13:14 Cosy Moments in the Van 14:01 Looking Ahead In January, we’re planning to release a full van tour video and share how we converted our van in a more sustainable way.
