    I think one of the reasons so many people like your channel is that it's never boring - building, bushcrafting, history, family, camper, basement and so many things. it's good fun.

    Seeing you put the hot kettle on the glass and then shut the other straight onto a hot hob made me shudder 🙂
    Great video, thanks.

    Quick cook up i do. Especially at work on my camp stove in my ute outside my office.
    Take two wraps. Put sliced or grated cheese inside. Fold in half. Butter up a hot pan. Fry on one side till golden or crispy. Flip over. Sprinkle a rub on the fried side and salt. Enjoy. Add more ingredients inside if you want like avocado, tomato , ham and so forth. So quick, easy, cheap and delicious.

    Few thoughts for you😊.. 1 might be easier to keep the van warmer if you keep the pop top down if it’s just you sleeping in the van so your heating a smaller space. 2, thermal shock is a thing , so I’d be a little more cautious over putting hot pans and kettles on it straight off the gas burner. 3, fridges work on removing the air, so a full fridge is always more energy efficient, even if you just keep water bottles in it. Otherwise a fun vid’ to watch keep up the good content😊

    This channel has got me interested in campers - not even thought about these before but your camper is ab fab! Also love your videos using your WW2 officers tent. I have one too and it is quite cozy! I suggest you get the fly sheet and ground sheet for this tent - makes a difference and the fly sheet comes with additional poles so it acts as an outside shelter, extending your tent and accomodation

  • @river6448

    Packet of Alfredo and a tin of tuna makes tuna mornay. I add the tuna when the alfredos halfway cooked sprinkle little bit of cheese when done. Packet of Alfredo and add cooked chicken or steak once Alfredo is done. You have three different dishes. All very simple.

    ‘Oil the steak not the pan’
    I only recently learned this and it makes a world of difference regards how much ‘smoke’ is generated whilst cooking a steak indoors.
    Basically, add oil to the steak (thin film) as a binder, season, then put into a hot pan.

    I finish my Promaster basic camper conversion. Nothing fancy, just a comfortable bed, a good quality cooler and stove and latter! Already have all of that so I’m just missing the bed! You inspire me to go camping! Love from your fellow camping enthusiast from Colorado,USA! Thanxz

    A great one-pot meal I use when camping (at at home, for that matter) is Zatarain's rice packages, not sure if it's available in UK or not. There are multiple "recipes" to choose from, but I like the Gumbo and add a 1 lb smoked beef sausage sliced into coins while the rice is cooking. One burner, I saucepan, and water. Makes a lot, so be prepared for leftovers!

    Love the van nice video.
    Heard some tragic news of a local fisherman left his gas stove on in a bivy to keep warm an was poisoned.
    Was thinking your channel or graham's could put out some advice to keep warm
    Safely.
    Like a flask in a thick sock or something to keep warm
    It May be a interesting video and may also save some lives 👍

    The trick for delicious steak is to cut it against the grain (cutting the muscle fibers into small bits) makes it so much easier to chew. 💖🌞🌵😷

    Hi Mike. Just FYI, don't ever leave the night heater on all night. It's not toxic or anything but it is very dry - you'll wake up with a sore throat.
    I'm just off to check out Life Of Mike 🙂

    I do enjoy this content regardless of which channel it's on.
    The only quick easy car camper recipe I have sounds horrid, but it's tasty (to me anyway) and def filling. SImply get a can of roast beef hash, and two Kraft Mac & Cheese cups. Fry up the hash, cook the mac & cheese according to directions, and mix together with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Since Mike's in the UK, you can consider adding HP Sauce to the hash while it's cooking.

  • @DJTheMetalheadMercenary
    @DJTheMetalheadMercenary ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That's a pretty sweet Van setup, very clean and functional!!!
    Also- Cilantro and Coriander are two different parts of the same plant, Cilantro is the leaves and stem parts, and Coriander is the dried seeds, they produce different flavors and are used relatively differently with cooking (and Coriander is also used in some Brewing and Distilling).
    Not sure if you were using just the leaves/ Cilantro or were also using the seeds/ Coriander ground or whole in the sauce, but it looks tasty. You always cook some awesome looking grub mate!
    Cheers!

    • @slithery9291
      @slithery9291 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      In the UK we don't use 'cilantro' at all, most British people wouldn't even recognise the word. Whenever a recipe calls for it it will be called either 'coriander' (meaning the leaves and stems) or 'coriander seeds'.

    Mix plain full fat yogurt and sour cream with a crushed garlic bud and you have the mayo type dip for wings or salad . It would have done well in your recipe. Keeps in the frig. For 5ish days. Add salt & pepper to taste and a squeeze of lemon or cider vinegar. You’ll love it. Promise from Canada. No preservatives. ❤

    Biscuits and tea are hard to beat on a cold winter morning, no matter which side of 'the pond' you are in. ;) Another great video!
