10 EPIC Vanlife Hacks - EASY & CHEAP tips & tricks for vanlifers

by Panzer
Hello people! hi! How are you? They're not going to answer. Oh sorry! This week's video is about van hacks
it's about the little stuff that you would have never thought to buy for your
van experience that make a big difference for us. It's about the things
that we have in the van that we just wouldn't get rid of and the things that
we use the most on a day-to-day basis. It's about all these little tools that
we use every day that are literally game changers, things that you can have in the
van or things that you can buy when going camping in general. Yeah! Now before
we start... what is that a warning? It is a warning! We haven't received any money, no
sponsors no, no nothing. We just really want to show you what it is how we use
it and recommend things that we use the most just to help you guys. Just to help you
guys. You ready? Yes. You have all your tools? I do! I like it when you
put your face, your.. and your oh wow!
Number one: these gel pads. These things are the bomb. They're basically just two
sided gel pads, they're made of rubber... I don't know what they're made of... you can
cut them and what they do is hold things in place when you're driving. So, when
we're driving, we don't need to take this off the counter because under is where
we keep the gel pad. We've had those, we've had the van for what three years
now, we've had those for three years and we didn't even change them yet. They're
just like super solid and robust, they don't leave a mark. Just amazing. See this
bottle here is quite heavy it's been there for three years
and we didn't even need to change the rubber. You can cut them if the surface that
you want to cover isn't that big and they are just insane. We got them on
Amazon, we'll be putting the link to that in the comments below.
I think they sell for like $13 or $15 Canadian and they come in the
pack of 10. You can have them either transparent or black and they're just
the bomb. Sticky gel pads. I wonder if you can like... Wait, I want to try
things. Put it, put your face against the wall. Wait let me see!
Number two are these collapsible storage containers. When DOM and I first started
vanlife, we used to throw out the food after each lunch, each meal because we
didn't have space to store these things in the van, we didn't have Tupperware's
or any other storage containers. So, now we got these things, again on Amazon, the
link will be below, and they are insane. They are really just containers. You
open them and check this out... Wow! magic trick!
So, they come in different dimensions. I believe we bought a pack with like three
different sizes, one, two and then the third one. These are just really good for
leftovers, if you want to go camping, if you want to go hiking and bring food
with you. Now what I just discovered like a minute ago, you know what that means?
Dishwasher safe. You can put utensils in there but you can't cut them. I don't
know what that means, I guess you can put them in waves, you can go surf with it!
You can go surf with them! You can go in the snow, in the snow with them! Yeah! I
