A recap how Vanlife was before Covid and did Covid kill Vanlife or did reality of life end it for many.

2021 finally out and back traveling. This first traveling podcast includes Gary and Lonna talking about going from Pennsylvania to South Carolina following mostly Route 17. Starting at a Harvest Host location then Beaches & more beaches to start out.

What to expect in 2021 after the pandemic traveling by Van across the country. First episode back after 2020 and expect newbies to be everywhere.

I recorded this podcast on YouTube to show the rodecaster pro and how I use it.  Decided to add it to the Rodecaster season 1 episodes.  I discuss a little about Vanlife but not a lot due to the pandemic.

Closing Vanlife series 2020 with highlights of final trip of year.  Interstate Secrets for RV’s, Elkhart Campground & area plus Amish Donuts that are really addictive.

September trip from NH to Colorado via Delaware Water Gap, Ohio Turnpike, and Holland! Covid 19 trip was different but still got out to see new area’s of this country that many will never get to see.

August short trip cut short and we returned early. Shows the difference between vanlife adventures vs camping. Turns out we not campers but travelers. Covid 2020 is looking like a bust.

Vanlife this year has been delayed due to coronavirus but finally got to the annual shakedown trip in July. Listen to what we forgot and why we turned to bringing to much alcohol. What!

I go over the perfect or ideal van of the future. I haven’t seen all of these features in one van but I go into more detail than before on Solar, Van outside appearance, bathroom features, Kitchen, 4 by 4, engine generator, and more. This is a break in the traveling series to get serious on what would make a perfect van.

This is episode 8 which is a continuation of 2019 road trip across the country. The highlights in this podcast are having updates to the Van at both the Airstream Factory and with Advanced RV. While this came at the end of our travels we still fit in a trip to Acadia National Park.

Highlights of this episode includes travel to the Fingerlakes in NY, Boulder CO, Arches, Crater Lake, Oregon Coast, Mt. Rainier, Yellowstone, Cody Wyoming to name a few. This van year has been separated into two podcasts and includes only the highlights. All these places are included in this first of two podcasts.

How to be successful in life never has been easier. So tip number one is about your day to day choices.

Vanlife got interrupted by two major fixes to the van componded by my personal life projects.  This was a year that just wasn’t.  If you want to know about solar panels and tires then this episode is for you.  It feels like all I did is spend money and no real major adventures as the year before.

This is a podcast that encompasses a year's worth of travel. I highlight the locations and day to day adventures.  Some of these include Harpers Ferry, Blue Ridge Parkway, Route 66, the Big Texan, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Needles Highway, Devils Tower, and Niagara Falls. This is a long episode but it definitely highlights why someone would want to get a van to travel the country.  This was the defining year that showed me I made the right choice purchasing a class B RV.

After getting the van three months earlier we start to stretch our legs but using it more and more. It goes to the beach, takes a ferry ride and makes it to an RV show.

The top ten considerations when purchasing a Van. These are the most important things to ask yourself before making the leap into Vanlife which include Living Area, Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, Heating & AC, Generator, Solar, Ventilation, Ladder and finally the type of Van.

First two months with a new Van the good and bad.

This episode is an introduction on how I ended up in the Vanlife style of travel.  I explain my circumstances that led to purchasing a Van and what steps I think are critical if you plan to move in this direction.  This episode is the start of a series about Vanlife adventures around the United States both the highs and lows.  Join me on these adventures but it is important to understand how I started so listen to this very first episode that lets you understand my unique reasoning for jumping in.

 

This is my conclusion after two weeks using the Rodecaster Pro unit.  I give my top three reasons to purchase this unit.  I'm a beginner podcaster who only started once I got the unit and this is my seventh episode.

I test out using the Rodecaster Pro with a guest spot. The guest for this episode was Lonna from “Dollhouse Miniatures” both a podcaster and she has her own youtube channel. This episode is also posted on youtube under Gary Abbott.

For any podcaster looking to make a recording easier, look no further than the Rode Rodecaster Pro.  I report in this podcast on my first 5 days with the unit and how I use the equipment.  I touch on some of the basics with more episodes to follow.  If you want to hear more make sure you put my podcast in your favorites.  Thanks.

After two months of a Stay-at-Home order, where are we now as Governors around the country start to implement a phased in back to work.  The classic clash is starting to happen between what I will call the people who believe it's all a Hoax to the individuals who say it is too soon to go back to work.  I cover how technology is here to stay and my believe that social interactions have forever changed for our society.  I don't take sides in this episode but I highlight some key things everyone around the world will be deciding individually as we move forward.  It is hard to predict what will happen but some things may never be the same.

I go over 4 things you should do to make a better podcast.  These are editing the recording, know your facts, intro's, and posting your podcast. I also briefly go over what I did right in Episode #1 using the RodeCaster Pro editing machine (Sound & effects) and why I'm using Anchor to host my first podcasts.

This is the first podcast using the RodeCaster Pro unit that I received 5 minutes ago.  This is so easy to start recording and having fun.  Great unit.
