Awesome School Bus Conversion Into Tiny House on Wheels - Full Tour

A Step Saving Kitchen, 1949

A fascinating study of mid-century America. I'm not surprised this woman has such a sour face. This was the height of technological and ergonomic genius at the time. It makes me very grateful that I wasn't a housewife during this era, that's all I have to say! :)

When You Think Nobody Loves You

Christmas can be a particularly hard season for people who live alone. In this, you're not alone.

Tiny Home Community Gives Homeless Veterans A Chance

As far as I'm concerned every veteran should get a house if they need one.

Where Does Compassion Really Come From?

Video by Happify. Narrated by Sharon Salzberg (she's got some great books on meditation, BTW! I'm listening to one on Audible right now.)

Speaking Italian Fluently After Six Months

Here's an update on Nathan Drew, who I previously posted tried to learn as much Italian as he could in a week. It was nothing short of incredible how fast he did it, and I'm not surprised he is currently speaking fluent Italian after spending 3 months in Italy. But I have to say, he already knew Spanish and French, and being familiar with these languages I can tell you it would be a lot easier to learn Italian with those two under your belt.

Camping in DIY Instant Pop-Up Folding Origami Shelter

What are you grateful for today?

I love this Japanese lady's videos. She's a minimalist who never shows her face, which adds intrigue to her quiet, peaceful, mindful compositions.

Major respect to Steve Wallis. You've got to be pretty badass to sleep under the stars in the snow!

30 Days of Cold Showers: Not What I Was Expecting

I hate the cold and I hate cold showers. I didn't always feel that way ... I remember when I was little I actually liked running through the sprinkler and taking cold showers at the pool. I'm a little intrigued that Nathaniel Drew says cold showers can help keep you warm for the rest of the day. Because it would sure help if I wasn't so bothered by the cold these days, living in northern Indiana and not having a car.

As Matt D'Avella wrote for the second video: "WARNING: If you have a heart condition be smart about it & consult your doctor before taking cold showers."

Winter Camping Using Cheap Summer Gear, Is It Possible?

Steve Wallis manages to have another good time camping in freezing weather. Beautiful sunset, cool moose encounter. The sound problem goes away quickly.

I love this pose!

We tried vegan for 30 days, here's what happened

Video by "Buff Dudes"
This is a funny video, but I couldn't help but notice these guys didn't mention the ethical concerns of eating factory-farmed animals at all. I imagine they would have stayed on their diet if they knew how much lovable, intelligent animals suffer for the sake of our appetite.

Rolling Down to Old Maui - Michael Kelly - (Traditional)

I like this guy's youtube channel. He does a lot of folksy stuff. This is actually an old sea shanty.

The Loneliness Epidemic

Video by Matt D'Avella:

Urban Stealth Camping in the Snow

I don't know why I find this guy so fascinating, but I do. Say what you want about how stupid it is for a guy to camp in sub-zero temperatures in a Canadian city, but I can only shake my head in admiration. Unfortunately, as he mentioned, some homeless people are forced to do this.

I Learned Italian in 7 Days

I'm trying to learn Swahili and Toki Pona right now, so I can relate. Not that I have any time limitations or anything, but it's fun to challenge oneself from time to time.

The Delusion of Time: Past and Future Don't Exist

I really like Jack. He's a raw vegan and has tons of videos on that subject, but recently he's been putting out some philosophical videos like this one. He also makes awesome tee shirts.

What is VILNIUS? (My City You Know Nothing About)

This Lithuanian guy has such a fun youtube channel. He goes all around the world traveling, but the city where he's from looks like a surprisingly fun place to visit. I doubt one percent of Americans could find it on a map!

(If you're thinking about doing this yourself, make sure you don't eat horse chestnuts, which are poisonous. And make sure you cut the chestnuts before roasting them, or they will explode!)

H/T: Les Visible

Urban Stealth Camping With Hammock In Residential Area

I think it's kind of cute how the guy is worried about getting caught. There have been times in my life when I seriously had to think about doing stuff like this. It's kind of sad that people can't really do stuff like this anymore, even as a lark. The surveillance state is that powerful these days.

So, you want to be a minimalist?

Lefie is so fun!

What We Eat In A Day For Weight Loss (Whole Food, Plant-Based Vegan Diet)

This couple is so adorable. They've lost at least 270 pounds by switching to a plant-basted diet. BTW, I've lost over 50 pounds since January by incorporating more raw vegan, whole foods to my diet! :D

Decision Fatigue: 9 Ways to Make Better Choices in Your Life

It seems like my head starts swimming everytime I shop on line, because places like Amazon know all about how to make price comparison difficult and deliberately make it hard to directly compare one product with another. That's when I know it's time to log out. Here's a couple videos that speak to that:

Akili and Me: Learn Swahili

I love learning languages and this is a fun show for total beginners to watch if you're interested in Swahili ... a beautiful language.
