Hey 👋👋 Wills 😍 Go on ...
waiting for long video we need long video like this and you should make video in london city 👍👍😀😀😀
I’m trying
Good idea
Well the editing is good
That drone shot is assome
Hey Will, great vids man!! Just a note on the gas. At night when you are sleeping, if gas leaks you can get a layer of gas sinking to around the height of where you will be breathing. This can give you carbon monoxide poisoning and can kill without you even knowing it. Two options, keep the gas/burner in an air tight container once it’s cooled or store the gas outside over night. It’s more prevalent in cold weather. Stay safe dude and keep on moving, inspiring stuff!
I definitely would not like to be sleeping with my Gas when I go on my next trip with my new gas canister
I’m doing this in the new year so this is great to watch. So much of 🇬🇧 to explore
You’ll have a great time mate! Not sure if the weather will be any better tho!
Would like to see if you go to cemetery for stealth camping
I’ve just discovered your channel and the difference with you is you show everything, the cooking, the travelling, the scenery, etc and i love your videos! They’re cheering me up so keep it up 😊
Thank you so much!
Ha you stayed in my town. There are a few places bit further up on the downs you could park over night for free. Often campers parked up. Love the simplicity of your set up and especially the front seat that turns around. I would defo put a board under the gas stove and get a co2 detector for peace of mind just incase as super dangerous in confined space.
Will, stop apologizing for videos not being "cinematic". I like these simple videos. We like you. Anything will entertain us.
Great videos Will, i am really enjoying them. And what a great set up you have too. Respect
Really nice. Thanks for showing English weather to us in the tropics over here.
Haven't read all the comments but i
I was you I would be inclined to have a large fire proof blanket to place on the bed beneath the stove, not because of the heat but to stop the fat splashes going on your covers, you only have to look at your cooker top at home after making a stir fry.
I just love watching the whole process of seeing the journey unfold and the inside of your tiny home is brillian
Take care and stay safe
Really interesting vlog, going to watch the rest. Thanks for the tip about the App going to get that.
I like the realness and rawness of your videos. I could take or leave the music or aerial shots. Thank you for your content. 🙂
I appreciate that!
That was a great view from the sky!
Hi, Will: It is dangerous any time, anyone puts a camp stove on a fabric covered shift gel foam mattresses, they aren't impervious to fire. You might think about buying or building a small collapsible wooden table which can store away when not in use, to prepare food on and cook on.
Great idea Linda
I immediately thought this when I watched the video.
Here are two ideas that came to me:
1) Have wooden cover the size of your kitchen slide out drawer. Use this cover/plank as a table. Put it on the bed and then the stove.
2) turn the board you have put pictures on, into a fold down table. You can sit on the bed to do the cooking and also keep the window half open right next to the stove.
I think 2nd one is a better idea.
dude i love your channel..your'e a natural for sure. i appreciate the honesty and don't mind seeing the mundane stuff. it's all part of it, so please don't think it all needs to be sunny skies. i have not yet made the plunge into #vanlife #vehicledwelling so all the info helps. keep up the great work!
Hi, another person doing the same as you, places a fire blanket under the gas stove to keep a bit safer. I noticed you turned the gas on quite a few seconds before using the ignitor, therefore the gas could be leaking causing it to flare as you said it did. Turn on gas right before ignition instead and open windows etc for fresh air. I personally would use a little table preferably outside but inside if I had to. Happy travels
You could probably pick up abfire blanket. Dual usage, you can cook on it. If there is a fire for any reason, you can use the blanket to put it out.
I really found the vid you did about your mental health enlightening and interesting, maybe it would be good just to chill when the weather is against you and chat with us, maybe a live?
Thanks very much I’m glad you found it useful! That’s a great idea and for sure a video to do when the weather isn’t so nice!
re the jetboil in your car, as long as you have ventilation and you're not lime and list then perfectly ok. thought depending on where you are parked if someone crashes into you then ...
I just was thinking about your setup, you can put a pvc soft glass table cover on your bed and a mdf plate on top to put your stove on. It would help with the smell and grease from the food and should be a little bit more safe.....I hope
Will - I’m a new visitor. You ask for comments; I say - you are positive have an honest and interesting style. Add to that your filming and editing skills - you have a lot going for you. Keep interesting facts about your stopovers, maybe take on a project in time. 100,000 subscribers is sure to come. Good luck.
Thanks very much Stuart, appreciate it!
like your inside lights,
I did some work for a customer on his vehicle that he uses like you. I fitted a second battery and a slip charging system to give power for lights etc without risking discharging the starting battery. A swivel unit was fitted to the passenger front seat to allow it to face backwards for use in cooking etc in foul weather. A locking tough box was fitted for securing laptop camera wallet phone etc in the front footwell and hidden from view behind the carpet. Wire mesh vents that could be fitted into windo arpeture that offered secure ventilation the window was wound up to secure in place,removable when not needed. Extra button fitted in rear to lock/ unlock the doors without setting the alarm. Button in rear to only open / lock tailgate independent of other doors. Diesel fired night heater, Chinese from eBay,works well with good temp control.
Namaste 🙏 Will,travelling in the uk in winter during a pandemic and you still make it interesting,you just have to hang in until spring and you will be in your element and the uk is such a special place,stay safe
Hey Keith, trying to make the most of the current situation. For sure I cant wait for the warmer weather to arrive already!
Hi Will! Arnel here from Ontario,Canada. Now I am considering Living in myvan will save me alot.
Hello, Cooking in a van love it. or love the thought of it. Love watching people cook and i don't mined the eating part also. I had bad luck with having my cooker on the cooler. melted it a little bit . But i also forgot the rack or the other part that is for your cooker. Its a must to sit the pot on. :)
Hey Christina! Hah my cooking skills aren't great just simple and fast!
Hi Will bruv! Subscribed to you the other day, absolutely loving the channel, can't stop watching the awesome videos, would love to see more cooking in the car, try making new dishes like beef stew or curry n rice
2:00 camera angle gave me anxiety whenever he wasn't looking t the road..
Nice to see you again 🙏
I love watching your videos! You make me laugh lol I live in Michigan in the United States and it amazes me that you guys drive on the wrong side of the car and road lol. Keep the videos coming!!!
come to Bulgaria! you will definitely love the nature and the weather 👌
Using a silicone baking mat may keep things a bit safer while cooking
I've come back to the old car camping vids!
Get a fire blanket to put the stove on.I would like to see you winter camp in rain wind snow etc what you would use ..🚗🏴
Be safe will coz we Nepalese 🇳🇵love you 😍 cheers 👍🏼 come back to your favorite country 🇳🇵😉
Hi Will, I have Not long come across your channel, I find your videos very interesting from the scenery, to you cooking your dinner, how your Mental Health has been affected! All of which I find rather enlightening, as it is good to talk....especially with all that is going on in the world right now with Covid! 😞 I would love it if you did a Live Video, which I think would be rather cool! Please stay safe 👍
Haha, love your comment about the people just as you were driving through Gillingham! I’m from the next town, Rainham, get the best of both worlds - one side town, the other side orchards and farms. Can’t believe you risked the Isle of Sheppey though!
Haha why risked the Isle of Sheppey I’m intrigued?
Bloody lovely; i love to see u cooking more inside or outside d camper, ♡♡♡♡from Vietnam~
Awesome thanks very much!
Only just found this video after watching your others. 😂 love from the Isle of Sheppey lmao
Namaste will just wanted to say drive well and have a safe journey wherever u are going .
Always with u 🇳🇵🇳🇵
And get well soon
thanks very much
Will, the rain makes camping more challenging. If you don't want the rain, we in Southern California would love it.
Good Moho AKA MOTORHOME suggestion is put your front seat belts through door arm rests and into seat clasps good extra security
Going up to Scotland! I recommend visit a small town called Linlithgow.
just love the way you living❤️❤️
Thanks very much!
You have got ultrasonic sensors in your door pillars that detect movement. Air pressure. And heat cover them with tape .. alot of tape so heat doesn't get to them . Then you should be able to lock your back door . And move around without your alarm going off.
Thanks for tip I'll defiantly try this out!
Two things. Fix a bolt on inside of boot lid so you can lock from inside. Remember to unbolt in morning.. Second get a slate or large tile to put on bed to be safe. Old camper and van man. Derek
Yes, it is dangerous. At least put a cookie sheet under it. It will also catch some spells and be a sturdier base for the stove. Happy cooking from the U.S.!
Loving you're vids Will xx
Kaboom!!! That was cool to watch.
From Michigan in the States..take care. Tina
Thanks very much Tina! More to come
@@WillsWhereabouts if u ever wanna see stuff in the states I have my journey on here too
If you disarm the ultra sonics then the alarm wont go off when you move. Don't lock the car with the key fob, use the interior door catch to lock it.
thanks butty,also really enjoying your vids.keep it up will....
No problem thanks for enjoying gavin!
Great vlogs buddy , yes you got to go France etc. it is possible even at the moment,
That's the plan!
Hi will keep it as it is look forward to your videos stay safe COYB
Great video. Did you do one of you changing the bed?
I would suggest you to put a thing (foldable) metal sheet under your gas stove if you want to use it on your bed mattress.
Good idea!
Put a metal oven tray under gas cooker on top of mattress won’t take up much space and will catch any spills
Good idea!
Your doing it sir....car camping is what they want 2 see...great job mate keep camping💯💪
Thanks, will do!
I’m going to do this in the new year in my blue previa
best of luck, I'm sure you'll love it!
You should mayb use the board you use at the back to rest your stove on on the bed , open a window for ventilation, I use a jetboil you get cheaper small stoves you can carry about with you and quicker just for a cuppa or things like that , ✌🏻
I was thinking about getting a jet boil as will defiantly be a lot faster for boiling water!
You can flash burn fuzz off of any easily flammable fabric especially cottons. I would use a board myself to prevent food smells on bed. A board will not get hot.
I will for sure from now on! Thanks for the tips!
@@WillsWhereabouts please consider checking out my channel and subscribing. I am just beginning and learning each time I edit. I have not had much of any feedback at all yet. Constructive criticism is welcome.
eBay does have 12v electric blankets and also carbon fiber seat heaters.
Perhaps some of that might keep you warmer on cold nights but not sure what the drain on the battery would be.
Cheers
My Mom grew up on a farm and she talked about how they would take a heavy rock wrapped in fabric which had been heated by or in the stove fire, which would keep them warm all nite.
Rocks can store a lot of heat. I wonder if a rock like heated on the exhaust manifold or by the car’s heat vent could be used to keep warm while sleeping.
People living in vans often use a propane buddy heater to keep warm but the carbon monoxide is a concern in small tight places.
My first choice for heat would be to take me along if I was near by ;) cheers (without mind machine warping alcohol lol)
Why not get a kettle for the smaller snacks or hot beverages?
If you are looking for suggestions for places to go with nature and views. I’d recommend going to Wales. Go to Brecon Beacons, and over to West Wales (Tenby, Saundersfoot, St Davids, Lttle Haven)! It truly is beautiful, great camping, lovely people, great food!!
Thanks for the suggestions Paul! Would defiantly love to get to Wales once all these restrictions are lifted!
Thats all younee is a steel tray(like the one you have your dinner on you lap),also a small kettleis really cheap,iv seen them in b&m or home barginsfor £3.
Kettle is a good idea Gavin
Fire blanket money well spent.
However what @ the good old fashioned hot water bottle 🍼 cheap and cheerful no carbon monoxide .can't go wrong .🌞🎵👍🇬🇧🚗
While cooking like that probably isn't the safest it looks fairly stable. I'd be more worried about grease/oil spatter on the sheets. I'd probably make a small folding plywood base that covers an area around the stove by about 12" either side just for caution's sake...saves your sheets and would provide better safety for cooking than straight on the bed
I think your right, i'll need to get onto that!
Great video mate. I'm dying to do this. Have the van nearly finished. Always interested in how to shower as I would need a shower and a coffee every day to make me feel good. I watch a few of these type of videos and I think yours is the most accurate and balanced mate. Keep it up. But the way the isle of sheppey and rochester are general shit holes. Keep to the SE part of the coast. Lol
Thanks mate, for sure a shower and coffee defiantly helps in the mornings, when I upgrade one day a shower will be a necessity. haha yep I agree with you the SE is so much nicer!
Hey man you should try deal and Kingsdown beautiful coastal views st Margarets Bay is a gem too all of which are in the south east near Dover
Ya queiro poder viajar. Tus videos me inspiran. Saludos de GUATEMALA
Gracias amigo!
More about your setup in the car 🙂
Will if you're asking opinion it means you're not convinced its safe to cook on fabric. Just get yourself a piece of wood to sit the cooker on.
You r enjoying the life in real.
sometime just walk in the beautiful streets of england by showing its beauty
For sure I will do more of this!
If your just boiling water, how about getting a thermos and boiling water earlier in the day (with stove outside) then keep the hot water for later
Good idea or I was thinking of getting a jet boil as the water would boil so much faster
You can buy a fire resistant cover for your bed, to use when you cook. I would suggest that is the safest way forward. You should also have ventilation due to carbon monoxide. Have you explored south Hampshire, specifically somewhere like Hayling Island? It's close to London and absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for the tip Simon I’ll be getting one for sure! No I haven’t visited Hayling Island but thanks for the recommendation it’s now on the list
Hi Will, which video is it where you halve your bed and the building process?? (they aren't in succession???)
south of Norway have the same weather type, and yeah it is depressive, but it is all forgotten when the Sun comes around :)
The sun is always key!
Lovely adventures
when paying for parking it's worth checking what the price would be had you lost your ticket. Sometimes it's cheaper to "lose your ticket" :D
Hah really I’ll have to try this trick in the future 😋
How did you transform the double bed to a single one?
There's a ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao no need to go through France save miles on the car too!
Really I had no idea thanks for letting me know!
Move to sunny Australia mate, made the move years ago lots of sun and surf My mum and dad got married in Hearne Bay Best regards Andrew from Down Under
lived in thailand for 10 years sooooooo with u about the uk weather and mental health, it sucks my soul
York is amazing
yes
Well we are looking for your new video
And finally here it came with good content and I enjoyed looking your video 😊lots of love from nepal bro keep going 😊
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed!
Have you thought of getting an induction heater to cook with rather than gas on your bed, becuase yes that is very dangerous
Asda has an induction hob that you can buy for about £30.... no gas, and if you have an inverter for ac power u can run it
Thanks for the tip
Will its been absolutely pleasure to see you visiting kent.....also when you are in dover folkestone pls visit Nepalese takeaways to taste food back from Nepal. Looking forward for next vlog. Cherrs mate
Great idea I will do this next time!
Exciting
Hi from Canada great videos!
Thanks very much Corey
Hey will love your videos it would be lovely if you go longer trips to farther places like to midlands for a week or scotland for a week you can do it in parts it would be great loves from turkey
Another gourmet cook on the road. 😂
Great stuff once again Will, really enjoy watching your videos! Very nice to see where it has gone since Nepal! And it's pretty inspiring as well, thinking about buying myself a small combo as well dedicated for trips like this. What are the regulations like in England, can you just sleep in the car on public roads?
And do you have any plans to go up north? Cheers and all the best! Michiel (Mardi Himal Trek)
Hey Michiel! Hope your well mate, how great would it be to be back in Nepal trekking! Would deffo recommend something like this if you want to do short road trips! In England you just have to find specific places to stay for the night I use an app! Send me a message on Facebook if you need any help or information!
Will. You're driving in Winter. Of course its wet n dark. I visited Rochester in 2003, my brother lived in Maidstone. Rochester has a very narrow street which has some of the oldest houses in Britain.
Hah I know Linda but that doesn't make it any easier to enjoy!
@@WillsWhereabouts thanks for your reply. It is tough when it rains so much. Christmas in 7 days. Have a great time.
Whitstable and Herne Bay are ok... Broadstairs is really nice, it's funny watching drive where I once lived and drove regularly. I live in my car part time, and my stationary van part time.. Use a slate placement under your stove.. The stove will burn underneath eventually.. Why did you choose the car to stay in as you travel? .. I enjoy watching your videos now I found another person on TH-cam in the UK in a car.
I didn't make it to Broadstairs unfortunately! I chose the car because its the best way to get around and I can comfortably sleep in it.
Having a CO2 detector to be on a safe side wont harm , wonder how you ventilate during cooking or during night time (against condensation ) . Good stuff on this channel .
Thanks Dan, I just have my windows open when cooking but still gets condensated
I hope u reach 1mill subs!
U got it wills
💪🏼💪🏼
Nice to see you again. 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵😎😎😎
