002 Staying Warm, First Thing You Should Buy, Indiana Dunes, Saving Hotel Costs
Welcome! In this episode, we discuss staying warm during the cold months, the first (and most important) thing you should buy for your van build, Indiana Dunes, and how I spent my first night in the van.
- TALES FROM THE ROAD: My First Night
- I put a cot in the van, some plastic crates, and headed out. I knew it would suck, but I also knew it would teach me a lot of what I needed to know to get the project going.
- TECH TALK: Buy this first!
- The first thing you should buy? A fire extinguisher. Seriously. Here's a good one that gives you lots of mounting options: https://amzn.to/2stOwxe
- A PLACE TO VISIT: Indiana Dunes
- It's true! Some of the best dunes in the US are found in Indiana, right on Lake Michigan.

- RESOURCE RECOMMENDATION: Element Van Life on YouTube
- YouTube has a wealth of information, and Nate's progression from an old Honda Element to a brand new NV200 can teach you a lot about van life. The fact that he's an accomplished video story teller makes each episode engaging, and over time, I think you'll consider Nate a friend you've never met just as I do. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX2_P3E87g-cBAtr1Lihfyw
