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.\xa0\nTALES FROM THE ROAD: My First Night\nI 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.\xa0\n\n\xa0\nTECH TALK: Buy this first!\nThe first thing you should buy? A fire extinguisher. Seriously. Here's a good one that gives you lots of mounting options:\xa0https://amzn.to/2stOwxe\n\n\xa0\nA PLACE TO VISIT: Indiana DunesIt's true! Some of the best dunes in the US are found in Indiana, right on Lake Michigan.\xa0- Everything you need to know to plan your visit:\xa0\xa0https://www.nps.gov/indu\n\n\xa0\nRESOURCE RECOMMENDATION:\xa0Element Van Life on YouTube\nYouTube 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.\xa0https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX2_P3E87g-cBAtr1Lihfyw\n\nIndiana Dunes, photo by\xa0Witoki
