I just wanted to give an update on my van. I may make Sunday about vanlife and the rest of the week about art. I don’t currently have any rules for this blog.
Anyway it’s going to be super cold in the Midwes,and a snow storm is likely coming. I took the time this weekend to prepare.
1. I got food and water because a gal gotta eat!
2. I got hot water bottles for my feet in bed.
3. 2 heavy blankets one is wool and the other is heavy cotton.
4. I got a buddy heater for when I am awake.
I was on the fence about getting the heater because it’s propane in my van. I originally bought a 20 lb tank of propane but I got home and realized I had no place to put it! I returned it easy peezy. I was going to take the buddy heater back to the store too, but once I heard about the storm I figured I better keep it for now until I can find something better.
The other alternative is a Camco Olympian Wave 3 heater. It’s slimmer and only puts out 3,000 BTUs and the Buddy Heater puts out as much as 9,000 literally 3x more heat. Because I get drafts from the doors I thought having something with a higher heat rating would be better. So far I am right.
I even got a cooler. I revamped my food storage . I have more access to food in my van. So far I am starting to feel cozy and prepared for the season. My work isn’t done yet.
Back to Inuvember tomorrow!
