I don't know what the sound it is. Is it the sound of the background tree?
It should be my last day in Squamish.
So everything arrived in the mail.
I'm going to explain everything when we're going to stop because it's going to be a little bit noisy.
But me and my friend want to do a last fire before I go.
We'll see where we're going, where we're going to make a fire.
We're not quite sure yet. They are already in the background tree waiting for me.
I had to upload a video this morning and all that.
This is where we're going and it seems to have a lot of people.
Summer is coming in Squamish and we really can't tell right now.
A lot of people in the background tree right now.
We're going to see where we're going to find a spot to camp and have a nice fire for tonight.
Good thing they are not very far in the background tree because I'm not driving very fast.
I don't want to pass him so I'm just going to let him do his job.
It's all good.
Good thing they are not very far because I'm not driving very fast.
I cannot cross and pass him because he put big rocks in the middle there.
Anyway, it's got no space between both of us to pass.
I'm just going to cruise behind him.
Hopefully, I'm going to find Joseph and Mark pretty soon.
There you go. They are right here.
I'm going to grab the cat.
Hey, Joseph.
Hey, Amy.
You got some stuff on your lens.
Hey, guys.
Hey, YouTube.
This is Mark's van.
Sort of ready.
All set up.
He's been here for I think a day now.
Let me show you the spot that we have here.
This is the campfire.
Mark, hi.
We have even the deck over there.
Yoga studio included.
And the view.
Howdy.
Which tree are you going to chop?
I think that little one actually.
Are you going to cut this one?
That one, yeah.
Down slow.
Give a push.
Kick.
This is going to be the fire for tonight.
The man's working.
Bringing some firewood.
There you go.
We have all that wood for tonight.
Way more than we need.
A little bit of wood there.
What are you doing?
On top of the branch.
Look, guys.
Got a little place to have a campfire just right here.
A little cave.
Someone made.
Just beside our actual campfire.
Which is on top of the hill here.
Isn't it cool, Kelly?
Okay, let's go further.
Is it hot?
Are you tired already?
Nice and cold in the mask, huh?
I had to remove my big sweater.
It's getting warm here.
Summer is here.
All right.
Are we going a little bit further?
There's got a little creek just down here.
But I'm not sure if I'm going to be able.
It's got a lot of old trees that fell.
So I don't know if I want to walk in all that stuff.
But let's try to see if we're going to go a little bit further.
We're not going to go very far if you stop every time.
Stay in the shade.
I think we're going to go back to the van.
My cat has been sitting every spot, you know, every shading.
Yeah.
It's quite warm today.
It's got a little breeze, but just on top where we have the campfire.
So here, down here.
I thought that would be colder.
But no, in fact, it's warmer.
I think we're going to go back.
Yeah.
That's van life right there.
Middle of nowhere with a nice deck.
Beautiful view.
Beautiful day.
Cannot ask for more.
On my last day in Squamish now.
So I'll just pick up what I had to do in Squamish.
And I'm probably going to go in Vancouver tomorrow.
And go pick up my driver's license.
And now I'm going to be free for the rest of the summer.
Feels so good, guys.
And it's a beautiful day.
That's the first like really warm day that we have in Squamish.
So.
It's amazing.
So Mark said to me, like, you do the Amy's fire.
I was like, what's that?
It's like a fire that starts at like the middle of the afternoon.
And when it gets dark, I don't have any firewood left.
And I have to go to bed.
I'm like, that sounds quite what I do.
But tonight we do have a lot of firewood.
Joseph cut a lot.
So we should be good until it gets dark.
But I started the fire quite early still.
Because I'm getting hungry.
All right, guys, I'm going to start the cooking process.
I'm just going to chop everything inside the van here.
Because I'm parked a little bit further than the fire.
Doesn't have like that many spots where we can all park our van.
So Joseph and Mark are going to park down closer to the fire.
And I'm going to park here on top.
It's more level too.
So it's perfect.
So I'm just going to chop everything.
I'm just going to make a veggie quesadilla.
Nothing super fancy.
So I'm going to chop the onion, mushroom.
I'm going to put some spinach.
I'm probably going to put some black beans too.
A little bit.
And some vegan cheese.
And I'm just going to cook that around the fire.
There you go, guys.
Dinner.
Almost done.
There you go, guys.
The dinner serve already ate a bunch.
Really good.
And Mark serving some spaghetti.
Spaghetti.
And Joseph cooking inside his van.
That's a huge fire.
Yeah, that's a fire, hey?
Good morning, guys.
I'm not really awake.
I'm making a cup of tea right now.
And go for a little morning walk with the cat.
And see what the guy is doing.
Should be probably my last day in Squamish today.
I have a bunch of stuff to do.
So we'll see if I can finish everything.
The guys didn't want me to leave right away.
But yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do.
So yeah, making a cup of coffee.
A cup of tea, sorry.
And try to wake up a little bit.
And go outside.
So I forgot to bring you guys.
I was just chatting with Joseph and Mark.
So this is where me and Joseph slept.
So right here is my van.
And we're just coming.
Boop.
Right here.
And Mark is there.
We are awake.
Just a little bit above there.
We had the campfire last night.
The kitty is waiting for me.
Thank you.
I'm here.
Alright, I came back inside the van to grab a couple things.
So I can have a little something to eat around the fire this morning.
And I just spoke to my friend Jeffy.
He is in Vancouver.
We found the guy where the mailbox is.
He's got the same place as me.
And apparently he doesn't think that I have anything on the mail.
So it doesn't look like I have my driver's license.
And it's the long weekend.
It's Easter coming.
So I might be stuck in Squamish again.
It's all good.
I shouldn't be stuck.
I mean, it's all good.
I could leave.
I do have a little paper for my driver's license.
Which means I'm fine to drive.
It's just I don't want to go too far and have to come back to go pick up my driver's license.
I kind of wanted to have this and just leave for my big road trip.
So we'll wait.
We'll see what happens.
But right now I am hungry.
So I'm going to go back around the fire and cook.
And I think I'm going to leave you with this today.
So you're going to know next video if I'm still in Squamish or not.
Because I currently don't have any clue if I'm still in Squamish for a couple more days.
So if you're not already, don't forget to subscribe guys.
You know that.
And yeah, I will see you soon guys.
All right, have a good day.
