ABOUT
"Travel with Gary and Amika"
Welcome to the Official Travel with Gary and Amika TH-cam Channel, a father daughter combo capturing campervan style travel vlogs in and around the mountains, beaches, campsites and wild camping fully off grid.
Gary is dedicated to his daughters future and enjoys documenting her passion for life, which is apparent through Amikas constant giggling and smiles. He is well travelled having visited some 39 countries, however this quickly became difficult to continue when Amika was born. With his love for travel he wasnt going to let being a single father tie him down. When Amika was just 5 they jumped on a plane and backpacked around Romania and have since visited France and Spain twice exploring the Pyrenees mountain range.
In January 2022 Gary bought on old builders van and converted into a fully off grid tiny home on wheels with the aim of getting out and about as much as possible to see more of the world. TH-cam seemed the perfect way to documented these travels and to take a step into the world of becoming a digital nomad.
Gary and Amika both thank you for being here and hope that through their videos they can bring you a sense of adventure, a lots of laughter and with a clear message that you should never grow up and never take life too seriously!

    The Mull of Galloway is my most favourite place in the whole of Scotland. Beautiful scenery, friendly people and some of the best fishing in the UK. Luce Bay is a nursery area and closed to netting of any kind. The range of fish is amazing from gurnards up to some truly big sharks. It's one of the very few places I've caught spudog, a small, primative shark member with spines on its dorsal fins, a form which goes back millions of years. The water is usually clear which enables you to explore the rocky coves and watch fish going about their lives. Well worth a visit and exploring!

    Hey, I'm just going to run my super efficient 12v domestic 35L compressor fridge justing the flag lighter plug and the odd 240 appliance, maximum 1000 watts for short periods. Does it have a lead for charging it in the van's 12v lighter socket when driving?

    • @dmoore4372
      @dmoore4372 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      But apparently using the flag lighter is not as efficient as if you had a system installed with a relay and booster. I wanted to avoid installing all that by buying the blueitti and covering the roof in panels. I'll only be getting a trickle charge (I think it's called) while driving....pity... Any comments anyone?

    • @TheFierceNow

      @@dmoore4372yea, I’ve been running this BLUETTI model for 2years now and after only getting about 80w in by charging with the 12v, I upgraded with a 1000w DC to AC inverter from the car battery. I have extended the battery capacity with 2 230b. Despite having 950w of solar on the roof, actual - max 700w in, you will need another way to charge when you have poor conditions. Can’t let the food in the fridge spoil.

    The Estate is now relatively speaking a better area now. Lots of homes have been knocked down now. I would say the Parson Cross Estate is worse now. Even that has improved. The Estate in the 70-90s was rough. Very rough. Lots of crime. Lots.of deprivation. But there was a good community on the Manor. Many people lived there all their lives. Helped each other out and in some ways this felt pleasant to live there. I like the Manor people. Straight, working class salt if the earth types.

      Oh and yes they were very tight....always stuck together when there was trouble. I remember when the council thought it fit to put Somalis in the flats years ago. They started causing trouble, but the manor lads terrorised them, so they had to move them out. Don't know about things now. Times have changed.

    I lived on the Manor from 1970-2005 and my mum lived there till 2016. The reason there's so much new housing is that in the 80's, much of the estate was found to have been built using defective mortar, so big swathes of houses were demolished. I remember a rolling wave of demolition going through The Manor from about 1984 and a wave of rebuilding ending in about 1990.

      I lived in one of those houses, Harborough Ave, until 1986. We were one of the last houses standing on our street, it was like a bombsite back then. I didn't know that about the bad mortar but when I was only 13 at the time. I just knew the houses were being demolished and my mum got a choice of where she wanted to relocate to.

    Im still trying to understand all the turning on...turning off..plugging..unplugging ..etc. can these units not be setup to be left alone and charge and use as necessary? People that live in vans and have their electrical systems hidden nicely, do they constantly plug, unplug, swap plugs, and all this other stuff instead of just wire a system up and use it? Why bury batteries , wires , and power systems if all this musical chairs is necessary? Or is it necessary?
