    It's usually something very simple on electronic issues 🤷‍♂️
    I liked the "Austin Powers " turnaround at the campsite 😂

    Beautiful scenery as always. I’m looking forward to one of your upcoming trips… a “ Dutch Explorer “ gave me a heads up . He’s like a son to us. Thanks for the solitude via video 😊

    When I was overlanding across Canada I noticed that strange behavior in Ontario of leaving RVs in the bush. I mean on occasion you'll see it elsewhere but it's a real problem in Ontario. Whole lakes were taken over by unattended RVs and their adjacent bags of garbage.

    It was so laid-back I fell asleep halfway through and then realized my phone was still running. I still think you need a filler, a girlfriend maybe or some sort of companion dog perhaps, so I can watch you romping around and not fall asleep again.
    You're the best Tosh thanks for the trip to God knows where.

    Nice that you found someone to reset your solar very cool and not charging you that 's a kind gester, great spot lovley evenning, at your first stop . 3rd place was epic , & so pretty , Nothing wrong with relaxing and just not do anything it's good for ya. Falling asleep to the sound of rain, or just the sounds of nature in general is very relaxing I find, I am sure you feel the same . This has been very enjoyable safe journey's Tosh . Look forward in seeing where the roads lead you to next. Ontario.

    Good people up in Kemptville... friends and family excluded of course 😅 I see you were in my neck of the woods. Some decent crown land spots but as you mentioned so places can get busy unfortunately. Really makes it tough to film! Thanks for the video. Truck looks great!

    Cool! I've been meaning to catch up & see how the van deal has been going. Glad you got the solar figured out & got to meet a good people to boot!
    Rain or no rain, that last site looked totally peaceful. Cheers dude. Enjoy your trips.

    Been saving for a year drop trailer but started to save instead for a van to convert to an adventure mobile :) Love it!

    Fantastic footage of the eagle and that beautiful dragonfly. 👍Yes, being alone need not translate to being lonely especially in lovely places. Sorry you didn't feel well for part of this trip although I think I'd prefer to feel unwell in a well set up van than in a tent. 😃

    Nice settings in the deep woods! Are you anywhere near the fires?
    Be safe and be careful of what you eat. Maybe the sausage dogs
    you had, gave you a stomach bug.. Nice home on wheels!

    • @toshselfpropelled
      @toshselfpropelled  ปีที่แล้ว

      No. I’m not close to any of the fires right now.

    Hey you should of let me know, you are so close to me…2 hours. Would of joined you for a day. My boy Cooper now at 15.4 is not doing well but I hope he makes SEpt 10th -14 long schooner camping trip again

    @alanbierhoff6831 ปีที่แล้ว

    Was your stomach not feeling well perhaps related to the bison sausage? You said it was smoked so you were just going to heat it up. Maybe smoked wasn’t the same as thoroughly cooked? It was a thought that crossed my mind when you were first talking about the sausages. Anyhow, I hope you recovered.
    I ordered some of that sweet with heat mustard. It looked to good not to try lol

    • @toshselfpropelled
      @toshselfpropelled  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Alan. The sausage was fully cooked, I think it might have been a meal I bought the day before. That sweet with heat is pretty good. I always pack that instead of regular mustard now.

      I’ve traveled quite a bit in my life and you never know what road food going to get you. Also, it’s not if it’s going to attack your innards but when.
      My worst case was a few burgers from a White Castle in southeastern Michigan. Without poking the TMI beast, I only made it about 6 exits on I-75 🤣

    All I can say is you can drive that big ole rig in a tight squeeze! wow. This was a nice video, but I'm still thinking you "need" a little puppy of some sort. That way you won't feel so alone.
