Questions & Answers

Q: What are the current developments with the ambulance project?

The ambulance recently received a clean health bill. However, some repairs and leaks need to be addressed before starting the build process. It will be a slow and long-term project.

Q: Are you planning to move into the ambulance after completion?

There are no plans to move into the ambulance at the moment. The project initially didn't have any intentions of converting it into a living space, and it was acquired for content creation purposes. Its use and future plans are still uncertain.

Q: How are gas prices on Vancouver Island?

Gas prices on Vancouver Island are around CAD 1.50 per liter, which is relatively high compared to other areas in Canada. Prices in Vancouver could be even higher.

Q: Have you considered installing sound deadeners in the wheel wells of your van?

While sound deadeners have reduced road noise in the wheel wells, they haven't completely solved the issue. Adding an extra layer of insulation over the sound deadener could further improve soundproofing.

Q: Have you ever been to Terrace, BC?

Yes, I have been to Terrace, BC, but I personally wasn't a fan of the town. However, there are many beautiful areas surrounding Terrace. I visited the town last year during a road trip and found it to be weird.

Q: Have you considered doing a podcast?

While the idea of a podcast has crossed my mind, I haven't pursued it yet due to the additional workload. Managing my YouTube channel and creating regular content is already a full-time job.

Q: Do you have plans for mountain biking?

I used to be an avid mountain biker and miss it. However, with my current lifestyle and without a suitable trail dog, it's challenging to pursue mountain biking. But I might consider it in the future.

Q: What are your plans for the rear locker in your van?

The rear locker installation has been delayed due to ordering the wrong locker and waiting for the correct one to arrive. Once the locker is installed, it will improve performance and allow for more off-road adventures.
