Been buying some stuff to make the van more homie and unique, pretty much using the money of my tree planting camp to get my van ready and in tip top condition for my road trip across Canada. Stocking it with the little things that you forget about until you really need them. Picked up a electric heater and got my propane system working, so tonight is going to be a warm night ( just sniped some power off a campervan next to me for a few beers). Having power in a campervan makes it just like home, laptop is charging, battery too.. playing music without killing the battery. Started my regular home maintenance cleaned out the icebox that I used for the first time the other day, No Leaks! Put up some posters on the roof and got some Surf Velcro ball game that is looks awesome hanging up, Snowboard is mounted in its home. My only complant at the moment is that I still have all my snowboarding gear, bag, boots, snowshoe because I couldn’t leave them in Rossland so alittle less space than I would of liked. Went down to Canadian Tire and got some camping chairs and a indoor/outdoor temp reader that I can see how cold it is outside from my bed. Still lacking the privacy without curtain but isn’t much of an issue in camp because everyone is usually in bed by nine pm anyway. When I was in the states picked up a cassette to computer adapter allowing me to play music off my laptop, and brian and Kathy packed me up with a lot of awesomely useful items for my adventures!
Next items im thinking for getting is going to be one of those mini rechargeable vacuum cleaners so I can keep my carpet somewhat reasonably clean without having to go to a vacuum place every month. Also a drill would be nice for any repairs on the road, I picked up a 52 piece ratchet and muli tool kit in Rossland at Canadian Tire for $60 saved $50 or so from the original price, Has already helped a lot!
