Solo car camping // mishaps, mud, and a fear of bears, oh my

My van (which is currently housing all of my camping gear) is at the mechanic this week, so Nova and I's latest camping trip consisted of a backpacking stove, a 4-person tent, and a slight fear of bears.

In April 2024 I bought this 1988 Chevrolet G30 Sport Van, already partially converted by previous owners. After a few small modifications, it was ready to hit the road! Follow along as I continue to build out the van into the perfect weekender cabin on wheels (and work on my fear of bears, lol).

What a fun video! Glad to see others camping and living in their vans on the East Coast!

@craigmorton321 thank you 😁 the east coast is so underrated in my opinion!

New channel here. In the process of making more videos got some cat videos up and one of my other half snowboarding back in the 90s that he doesn't do any more. Love the van you got a lot of work to put into it but it'll be worth it in the end according to my other half. Everything comes a time in moderation. Liked subscribed. We live in the Pacific Northwest as well up here in Washington close to the Canadian border up near Mount Baker. Hope to see more videos and a build out of the van remember pallet wood is free and you can use it break it apart and use it sand it down.

Cool video, looks like you have a Queensland healer so you must be a good person. Have a great day

Talking about fears while camping, especially in a remote spot, is SO real! I wish more people talked about this because my first time dispersed camping was terrifying-I jumped at every sound. Honestly, though, I'm more scared of running into another person than wildlife lol. By the way, I highly recommend Napier Sportz SUV Tent. I have the 84000 Model, and it makes me feel way more secure. You can sleep in your car and have a whole tent setup, plus if you get scared in the middle of the night, you can just close the back door. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it!

thanks for the recommendation! I will have to check them out. And I love to hear I'm not alone in these fears! People or bears... I just hope they all keep their distance lol!

It seems pretty odd that it looks like you're driving on the opposite side of the road in a right-had drive vehicle, but you were actually filming with the front-facing camera on your phone, which is making it look backwards! Hopefully, you'll be able to have these clips flipped!

Just wondering how many miles are on your van? Mine is also the Chevy chassis and just rolled over 100k. Nova is a beautiful girl. Stay safe ✌️

[@loganrosemccarthy]

@@Vanlifery I think it’s around 96k right now! I’m not too far behind yours!
Thank you :) safe travels!
