One of the best lesson that brings me to Van life

Can you guys hear that? The sea lions are out here. Right here. We're gonna wait for the sunrise and hopefully they're still gonna be there at that time. Society likes to project the idea that the more we own stuff, the more we'll be happy. And I think a lot of people fall into this trap. I realized a long time ago that happiness has nothing to do with what you own. In fact, experience is the only thing that really makes me happy. The less that I own the better I feel. Oh guys it's so cool we saw the sea lion again. Woohoo! We are in totally different area than the last time I saw them. It's so funny because I never really have that much chance to see them and take picture. And now it's twice in like what two or three weeks that we saw them. Pretty stoked about it. You probably wonder what I'm doing this morning. I won't do the same thing to be honest. No seriously it's something that I wanted to do for a while and now it's raining today so I felt like it would be a great time to start this project. So under the bed I do have three bins. One's got a tool, one has got whatever you see and you don't see because it's got stuff behind me and one has got a starting. And this middle one is the one that I don't touch very often because it's the middle of the bed, if you want. Go on. It is a huge mess and most likely maybe half of what's inside, I don't use it. Probably even like the whole box I barely use it. This is the box that I take out like once a year Christmas decoration. I do have my portable little shower in the summer that I use. So this obviously gonna stay but it's got a lot of stuff that I don't use. and I think it's time to donate. I think it's time to donate a couple things so I'm in a bigger town today so I hope I can clean all the stuff that's inside my van that I don't use anymore and donate to a place here in town. I do have this. Maybe I'm gonna bring that to Quebec. I feel like my mom will appreciate this more than me. I used to study in furniture making when I was After high school and those are some of the furniture and the project that I've done and I did some construction little project too as well. So I have a pile of this. I think I'm gonna bring that to my mom. Like I'm not someone to keep any memories of stuff. I don't have any picture in my van. I have a couple at home in Quebec but it's mostly because my mom want to keep them. My mom she's just like insane with pictures. She wants every picture possible. I think I'm gonna bring her this next time I go in Quebec. What I'm going to keep absolutely in the van is those map books. I do have them for all British Columbia. Super useful when I go in the backcountry. All the roads are there. They have hiking, they have... Lakes, free campground, pay campground, everything is mapped in this map book here. That's going to be a keeper. I do have a couple of books. This is just a super cheesy type of little book with all the animals in British Columbia. But sometimes when I have like a little blank on the name or I'm not sure which animal we saw or whatever. So I look in this little book. We do have other book. I think this one's going to be a donate book. It's a really great book but I read it a couple times already so. So all right so I think that's done. That was extra full and now it's half empty. I love it. I think I do have a couple of things. So a couple of things I had to throw away because they were damaged or things like this. Not too much. I do have my old Dutch oven, don't worry, not the new one, the old one that I want to donate, one book and a pile of recycled paper, things that I have no idea why it's in the van right now, so we're going to go clean that, we're going to go donate that. I do have more stuff that I want to donate. It's recycled, all done, it was great. I should come more often in those places, you can drop all your... Kind of pop and things like this. It's hard on the road to recycle and to separate all your paper and all your everything because but every town is different. Some towns, we are lucky in British Columbia, some towns beside a little garbage, public garbage, they have a recycle bin beside it which is great. Cans of pop and things like this, I often put them beside the can. I know like homeless people or whatever they're gonna pick it up. And if I see a homeless person going to the trash can and grab some, I always look to have like a couple in my van and I give it to them. I'm like oh you pick up some some oh i'm like oh you pick up some pops and cans and things like yes okay i have a couple i'm gonna give you some and if i have a couple change or whatever i give a little bit of money to as well in the same time um but yeah uh recycling it's something harder road but i try i try my best to do it i should do a little a little extra though i must admit so um Having those places that you know on the road is great. So now we're going to try to find a place to donate the book. Usually we do have a couple bins that you can donate clothes and books. And see what we're going to do with the Dutch oven. We're going to find someone or a place to give it. So for those of you who like this book, it's at Qualicom Beach right here beside the building. This is a little book donation so everyone just donate whatever they want. Let's get a couple everywhere on the island. So pretty great. All right guys, I hope you enjoy. I'm gonna, all right guys, I hope you enjoy. I am gonna figure out a place to give my Dutch oven. Seven, um... I don't know, somewhere I'm gonna figure that out. And, uh... There's a lot of bird, Katie's just looking at the bird right now. I hope you enjoyed guys. Don't forget to subscribe if you're not already and I'm gonna leave you obviously with Miss Katie who's watching the birds right now. All right guys see you in the next one. She's like hey I'm busy. I'm busy looking at the birds. Okay okay. Oh yeah there's a lot over there. She's just hypnotized. Oh there you go little To warn of the bird. Can we see your face a little bit? Yeah? Yup. Thank you. Alright guys, we will see you in the next one.
