REAL VANLIFE & CAMPING ADVICE FROM A GUY WHO'S LIVED IT ALL. I faced a life-threatening lung disease, but instead of giving up, I hit the road.

Now, in my converted Ford Transit, I explore Canada, capturing its beauty. Join me for van life tips & camping

New tires for the van on Thursday, in the mountains on Friday. I was running snow tires year round on the van and I knew that they would only last for a while. After four years they were getting bald. Put on some recommended Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 2 this time. Then I went out to the mountains to take pictures and play in the rain and snow.

It has been a busy year, have not had a chance to post much here as I have been busy at work and with my health. Had a chance for a little road trip last weekend to Edmonton, Alberta. Had to make some stops for pictures. Here A great stop at Frank Lake.

Waterton Lakes National Park, January 18, 2026

Hardly any snow in the park. VERY few people either. Was overcast BUT was an amazing day as the temperatures were REALLY warm considering the time of year.

January 17, 2026 southern Alberta Canada. Got up to 13.3C today (55.94F) hardly any ice or snow remaining. No wind either.

Looking at the 7 day forecast was glad I could get out today as by next weekend temps will be 30C colder and snow.

I’ll be honest, I’m terrible at taking photos of my van. To me, the van is a tool, just like my camera gear. It’s what gets me to the places where the real magic happens… and lets me enjoy every moment along the way.

A trip to Waterton is always better when I have my little cabin rolling with me. I almost feel guilty about how much comfort I get to bring along, and how easy it makes it to spend the day chasing great shots while completely soaking in the experience.

On November 11th, Remembrance Day here in Canada, I shared this photo in memory of my dad on my other page. This Volkswagen camper van was the last one he owned before he passed away. After he was gone, I pulled it out of storage and spent a week cleaning it up so I could get it ready to sell.

Letting it go broke my heart, but anyone who has owned a VW van knows how temperamental they can be. I just didn’t have the time or energy to keep it on the road and use it the way it deserved. So before I sold it, I took it to a local campground for one last photo shoot.

I’m grateful to have these photos, to remember the van, my dad, and all the good times he had with it… and even the not-so-good times, like the breakdowns, the tow trucks, and the roadside repairs just to get it back home.

These pictures bring back a lot of memories, and I’m thankful for every one of them.

Took my van to the dealer this morning for an oil change. Arrived at the dealer at 59,999. The service tech was laughing that he never had a vehicle come in with those numbers. As I pulled out of the lot my van hit 60,000 k. Wish I had more K's on it from more adventures but I have enjoyed what I have done.

A trip to Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta Canada. Weather. Headed down to Waterton with a daytime high of six degrees Celsius, rain that turned to snow during the day. A perfect day. Even better when you have a van to use as your home base.
