@@Jacobk2403 Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder on just how effective those laws are. NYC is a joke. It's sad, and, given the current state of "let em' run amok," I don't plan on returning.
That moment you felt uneasy at 13:37. I felt that. Trying to not jump to conclusions but a whole group of strangers pull up to a dead end late at night in New York just smells like trouble in some cases. Glad you’re fine. Stay safe out there Mav!
Man I get nervous for Maverick sometimes he's such a light-hearted and friendly guy a lot of people don't understand how dangerous people can be in a city like that especially when you're doing something like sleeping in your car. Thank God those guys didn't have bad intentions because they saw his whole setup and there's plenty of expensive things in that truck not to mention whatever cash he had on him and the film equipment. Also that ambulance build that was parked next to his truck was fucking awesome I want one of them so bad.
Man I was thinking the same. And the fireworks thing almost seemed like an excuse to look at peoples camping setups/test response times. My guess is that they probably deemed him a bad target and moved on to casing something else. But I assume the worst in people lol.. also my friends have an Ambulance setup, you should definitely go for it!
@@mattss7886 many people have gone to jail for "self defence" in nyc. Just look at the recent bodega man stabbing. Imagine someone with no video evidence or social backing.
I grew up In NYC and still commute from NJ 3 times a week to Brooklyn and Manhattan , you handled those firework guys better than I would have .. I could feel the tension through the screen. But if you say the wrong thing to one of them , things could have went bad pretty quickly
Brooklyn my home city. Things can go shty real fast. Or it can be so so. One thing I know, you have to keep an eye on your stuff Cause it can disappear real fast.
See man, that’s so crazy to me. I’m from Canada and all I saw was some dude who was interested about what he was cooking…Here, we need to worry more about cops and some Karen who would call 911 because he would sleep in his truck. Would never worry about getting mugged by some kid with fireworks. Crazy.
As a native New Yorker born and raised but no longer living there, I’m stoked that you chose to visit NYC in your famous camper truck and felt adventurous enough to park and cook at a dead end street in Brooklyn in the middle of one of the worse summer heat waves to hit the area in a while. And while fireworks were going off around you by a group of guys who thank God turned out to be friendly to you and not the sketchy/scary kind. You just never know who you encounter in NYC.

One of the only channels and places on the internet I can think of where I go through comments and everyone loves it and I don't see a single hate comment ever! And I love it doesn't deserve any and glad people are bringing that positive attitude!
50 miles north Candlewood Lake in CT some of the best Bass fishing in the NE. then Housatonic River above Kent CT some of the best fly fishing on the Housatonic River. Lots of camping spots up there too.
Love the bags! Great designs. Glad you and your friend recovered from whatever crud was making you sick. You handled the situation there with the fireworks pretty diplomatically.

A couple of days late to see this and BOY the stuff going on!!! YOU ARE IN NY!!! That I didn't see coming. BUT you get the Keep your Cool AWARD!!! I was right there with a lot of your other viewers with the fireworks , people etc. You DID A GREAT JOB!!! Now please tell me you have moved on to someplace else Blue Ridge Mountains, Western MD Ocean City , MD are you coming as far south as North Carolina???? The bags you had made were great, hope you can get some more made....lot of good pockets. Keep on truckin and stay safe.
Back in the 80s we'd occasionally drive through the City on our way to spend the weekend in New Hampshire. We'd see cars all along on the side of the road, just abandoned. By Sunday afternoon they would be torched frames on our way back home. We were advised that if our car ever broke down there to take everything out of it we wanted and wave a fond farewell to the rest, don't wait for a tow but get while the getting is good. When Mav walked away from his truck I thought it was the end of it, that when he came back it'd be a graffitied hulk on blocks.
I worked in EMS in NYC for 6 yrs you just dont know how crazy it can be there....You have to know neighborhoods in the city and know where to and not to go.
0:35 Song: No sleep til Brooklyn Artist: Beastie boys Album: Licensed To Ill Thank you for the clip of the song and if there was a joke intended I understand
I grew up on NJ and i had family in Brooklyn so we went there quite often. It's not what it used to be. That was very brave and you showed a tremendous amount of restraint with those people by your truck. It really looked like that one dude was waiting for a sandwich. I have only been back to NY a handful of times since moving to Alabama.... can't say I miss it.
@@RogueStatusX I wasn't born here, I moved here, and I have a good job and do not collect any state welfare. And what do you care anyway? You don't live my life.

As someone who is a New Yorker I agree 100%. I'm coming into the work force now and I'm making sure to work for a big company that has many branches across the country, that way I can eventually move to some other branch and move out of NYC. It's crime invested and has only been getting worse, the subways are littered with mentally ill and homeless people while smelling like piss, and the city is plain out dirty. All that for a small closet for 200% higher cost than a decent size home anywhere else in the country.
Glad to know you were safe and nothing happened to you that night. We care a lot for you Mav and if you feel any location might be a great place to check out but implicates your life being in danger, we prefer you stay true to your gut and get out to a safe place if necessary. YOUR LIFE MEANS MORE THAN A VIDEO. Stay safe and get well soon :)
7:37- Don't be so sure that rock wasn't naturally in Central Park! It's hard to believe since it's almost entirely covered by buildings and the street grid, but Manhattan was once a very wild island with unusual rock formations and landscapes! BTW, according to the occupying British troops (who surveyed the island during the US American Revolution) Manhattan Island had new fewer than 30 (yes thirty) freshwater rivers and streams flowing to all its shores in the estuary (and the Hudson River was famous for having zillions of OYSTERS swimming in it)!
Grew up in NYC. Miss it every day. Always wondered where to go if you wanted to camp out. Definitely head further onto Long Island. Great spots to eat and probably camp out and a lot more peaceful.
Astoria is great on the Avenues. By 4 AM everything quiets down and you can get some safe sleep. Not all noise is dangerous. For a moment there, when you were trying to cook, I was wondering if you were going to get a chance to eat at all. 4 out of 10 considering the stress is dam good
Im not a new yorker but I am a foodie. a chopped cheese starts out as a preformed frozen hamburger patty not a flat of ground beef and there is a definite taste difference to browning the burger before chopping it up... what you made is more of a loose meat with cheese or a jacksonville florida lubi mean machine.. but it sure LOOKED good!
Big fan. Mav - you have met probably thousands of people on your trips. Bet you never expected to camp in NYC and get irritated with dudes randomly shooting fireworks in the street.:).
Love the channel ...please think about making a cookbook ....for camping and just in general...food looks bussin every time ! Much love from Nova Scotia ❤🤙🏽
You adapt so well to the places you go to and keeping cool in some tough situations I appreciate you being so humble and daring. Be safe out there. 😎🤘🏽
I'm from NY, but now in FL. I miss the nightlife and just the fun my friends and I had when I was younger. It is not what it used to be, but seeing this video brought back so many memories. NY is a very special place.
I worry about you, but I have never worried more than you cooking at the back of the truck, in the dark, in NY. Although I knew you were ok because you posted this video lol.
You made it to my hometown!!!! NYC BABYYYYYYYYY 🗽🍎🗽🍎🗽🍎 I currently live in Georgia but I was born and raised in Queens (BEST BOROUGH 💯😆) This video is making me homesick now 😭
Glad nothing happened to you man, be careful out there… this was actually one of the most dangerous things you have done. There are lots of bad parts in NYC.
I made a chopped cheese but with a Louisiana twist!! I added chopped bacon and mushrooms and cajun seasoning! But is agree it's a chopped up cheeseburger!! Great video!!
as a NY guy myself Mav i’m glad you gave the place a visit! Come back again whenever, always more to see and do in the city and we love to have the visitors. Maybe swing out to long island during the summer and get some good surfing in! the Skudins are based out of there
I don't think I could have kept my cool with the firework kids. Testament to your attitude and demeanor, Mav, my anxiety was peaked just watching. Grats on 2mil.
Yah man I bet you would have told those kids that you don't know, in a city you don't live in, to go away. Real tough guy lmao. Stay behind that keyboard big cheese.
You have to try out a camping cooking gear called Omnia. It is cooking gear which does the same thing as an oven and you can put on your normal camping cooker. I challenge you too make a German bread recipe
I briefly lived in Bushwick, Brooklyn and rode that same train line daily. Personally I think NYC is one of the most overrated places on the planet but I also appreciate the little things, like personal space… and walking barefoot… and clean air… and driving. I moved back down south as soon as my lease expired. It’s not the place for laid back, wholesome people. Seeing Mav navigate that town gave me anxiety… glad you’re ok.
@@bubbangs2098 LOL I'm wholesome and laidback and I've lived here for 10 years. Love it. I will say it's not for everyone. It seems you couldn't handle it.
It’s just not for everyone. Definitely an amazing City with way too many restaurants and food to choose from. Has its ups and downs like every city, more downs these days I’ll admit cus the crime recently. But it’s an amazing cultured City
Yeah that was a horrible choice. Anywhere that heavily tagged up is obviously not regularly patrolled by cops. Not the kind of comforting area you wanna fall asleep in. Homeless people in tents and hookers were probably sleeping on the ground right on the other side of that wall lol
Hey little pony. Was getting worried for your sake. Love your sewing shop footage. Custom all the way. Spent some time in the Big Apple 3 years ago with my 2 daughters. Hated it. Garbage, walking over sick homeless people and the smell. But loved Frozen on Broadway, Statue of Liberty, U.N. tour and the garment district. Glad you made it out safely and kindness to all. Love you kiddo. Time to get ready for worship.
I know the exact spot where you parked. You do have to keep situational awareness anywhere in Brooklyn, but that area is not too crazy. Treat folks with respect and you generally will get it back.
Welcome to my world lol Lived in a suburb of Mesa AZ, those people took their fireworks seriously. Back front, left right of my house, fireworks on the 4th of July and New Years eve, with a few nights of M80s thrown in for good measure. It was terrifying. My dog hated it and I always ended up with remnants of bottle rockets in my pool. Luckily they never set the house on fire. SO, even when you're payin' a mortgage, you still don't get to say what goes on in your yard. I'm so glad no one gave you a hard time. That was scary dude. Hope you're feeling better soon Hugs
Dude!!!!! I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE BAGS!!! Mav, you really need to do a bigger run on those. I would be picking up a Fanny pack and a a full pack to try out 🔥
It would be so cool if you had mini meet and greets in areas u planned to be for a few days. Livin in upstate ny myself seen the title about NY and got excited. You're doing what so many of is would love to, awesome.
Mav, I probably would not have chosen NY city but you handled it like a pro. What I am concerned about is that you were sick again. I’m old enough to be your grandma so please excuse me for being overly concerned. Have you considered seeing a doctor to get some blood work done to make sure you are well? I realize you eat healthier than most so you are probably fine but do this senior a calming pause by telling me you’ve been checked and you’re good to go… take care, Mav… find some country roads and relax.. ☺️
Dude how rude were those guys?? You had every right to feel the way you did and I tell you what you are stronger than I am that's for sure because I damn sure would have went off!! I'm from the East Coast so I deal with people like that a lot!! But yeah as always Great Video Mav!!

Just came back from Brooklyn, Bronx New York this past week and it was amazing!!
You made it to my hometown!!!! NYC BABYYYYYYYYY 🗽🍎🗽🍎🗽🍎 I currently live in Georgia but I was born and raised in Queens (BEST BOROUGH 💯😆) This video is making me homesick now 😭
Glad nothing happened to you man, be careful out there… this was actually one of the most dangerous things you have done. There are lots of bad parts in NYC.
Much happier when you're in the mountains alone or away from all of that chaos. We want you SAFE and happy.
Safe, white safe. Racism is a strong poison.
2 MILLION! congrats mav! Keep on truckin!
Awesome vid. Also solidifies why i'd never go there. Hell these days I wouldn't even go to Minneapolis with all the crap going on. Stay safe.
I made a chopped cheese but with a Louisiana twist!! I added chopped bacon and mushrooms and cajun seasoning! But is agree it's a chopped up cheeseburger!! Great video!!
Omg for the first time I was worried for your safety, thank goodness all is well 🤗🙏🏿
Mav didn’t seem too happy to have them idiots around 😂
Can you blame him?
They're idiots for shooting off fire works?
Mav was the visitor
@@Moody10050 They were idiots. Its common sense to NOT use fireworks close to gaz tank right ? Visitor of what ? This street has no owner
@@Zalive4444 how was he not the visitor.. you dippy Karen democrat
@@Moody10050 😂😂
Don't think I could handle the crowds in NYC. Can barley do a weekend in Pittsburgh. Guess I'm just country
as a NY guy myself Mav i’m glad you gave the place a visit! Come back again whenever, always more to see and do in the city and we love to have the visitors. Maybe swing out to long island during the summer and get some good surfing in! the Skudins are based out of there
Sorry I didn’t get to meet you when you were at Van Alley. Great video. Patrick NJOA
I don't think I could have kept my cool with the firework kids. Testament to your attitude and demeanor, Mav, my anxiety was peaked just watching. Grats on 2mil.
Yah man I bet you would have told those kids that you don't know, in a city you don't live in, to go away. Real tough guy lmao. Stay behind that keyboard big cheese.
Facts . Mav a karen for that lol
@@Turtlemilk the hell you talking about? Mav didn’t do or say anything karenish.
@@SpeakerPhones I miss you
Mav lucky to still have his belongings and being alive.
2 million subs Mav! Congrats!😝👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bro the choop cheese is legendary it started in harlem dont let nobody tell you different but im glad you had fun in my city
You have to try out a camping cooking gear called Omnia. It is cooking gear which does the same thing as an oven and you can put on your normal camping cooker. I challenge you too make a German bread recipe
I briefly lived in Bushwick, Brooklyn and rode that same train line daily. Personally I think NYC is one of the most overrated places on the planet but I also appreciate the little things, like personal space… and walking barefoot… and clean air… and driving. I moved back down south as soon as my lease expired.
It’s not the place for laid back, wholesome people. Seeing Mav navigate that town gave me anxiety… glad you’re ok.
Glad you left.
@@bubbangs2098 LOL I'm wholesome and laidback and I've lived here for 10 years. Love it. I will say it's not for everyone. It seems you couldn't handle it.
It’s just not for everyone. Definitely an amazing City with way too many restaurants and food to choose from. Has its ups and downs like every city, more downs these days I’ll admit cus the crime recently. But it’s an amazing cultured City
after 10 years in Astoria I had enough of paying extra to be inconvenienced at every turn. It was fun, no regrets but nope never again.
Wholesome? Really? Lol
Mav you sat on mine and my wife's rock dog that was cool..I have a picture of us sitting in the same spot on my FB. Dude that was so cool brother!
No lie when he woke up & showed his windows , I thought someone did graffiti on them 😭😭😭
!! Me too
So did I. Haha!
Yeah that was a horrible choice. Anywhere that heavily tagged up is obviously not regularly patrolled by cops. Not the kind of comforting area you wanna fall asleep in. Homeless people in tents and hookers were probably sleeping on the ground right on the other side of that wall lol
Stay safe Mav🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽
Hey little pony. Was getting worried for your sake. Love your sewing shop footage. Custom all the way. Spent some time in the Big Apple 3 years ago with my 2 daughters. Hated it. Garbage, walking over sick homeless people and the smell. But loved Frozen on Broadway, Statue of Liberty, U.N. tour and the garment district. Glad you made it out safely and kindness to all. Love you kiddo. Time to get ready for worship.
I know the exact spot where you parked. You do have to keep situational awareness anywhere in Brooklyn, but that area is not too crazy. Treat folks with respect and you generally will get it back.
"I think the police definitely are super stoked on people sleeping in their cars, but once you're in, you're in" What in the FUCK does that mean? 🤣
This video was especially good, like it ended so quick. That means your videos are getting better man keep going ✌
No fish in Central Park… that’s your guardian angel looking out for you.
Welcome to my world lol Lived in a suburb of Mesa AZ, those people took their fireworks seriously. Back front, left right of my house, fireworks on the 4th of July and New Years eve, with a few nights of M80s thrown in for good measure. It was terrifying. My dog hated it and I always ended up with remnants of bottle rockets in my pool. Luckily they never set the house on fire. SO, even when you're payin' a mortgage, you still don't get to say what goes on in your yard. I'm so glad no one gave you a hard time. That was scary dude. Hope you're feeling better soon Hugs
That budgie at 7:40 absolutely broke my heart. Someone find it and rescue that little boy!
Dude!!!!! I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE BAGS!!! Mav, you really need to do a bigger run on those. I would be picking up a Fanny pack and a a full pack to try out 🔥
Bro congratulations for passing 2million subscribers
Mav, I love NYC. There’s no place like it.
I'm not fond of any big city. I have a brother and his family that lives near NYC. They love it. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
It would be so cool if you had mini meet and greets in areas u planned to be for a few days. Livin in upstate ny myself seen the title about NY and got excited. You're doing what so many of is would love to, awesome.
Never fail to make a great video
That firework dude looked SKETCHY!! I was expecting to witness a crime.
Just a bunch of teenagers if you ask me.
Never stand that close to a trains platform.
Not your life
My dad is a train, he said it's cool
He was standing at an appropriate distance.
People don’t like to be told what to do ! 🇺🇦
You are lucky. Got to be careful in Brooklyn, especially on a dead end street. Glad you are safe and it went well.
I've stayed at the Le Jolie in Williamsburg a few times. small rooms but very nice when I was there years ago. Great restaurants too.
I lived on the street in New York city for about ten years 😂😂. It was quite a challenge. Weird seeing mav in nyc idk why 😂
Mav, I probably would not have chosen NY city but you handled it like a pro. What I am concerned about is that you were sick again. I’m old enough to be your grandma so please excuse me for being overly concerned. Have you considered seeing a doctor to get some blood work done to make sure you are well? I realize you eat healthier than most so you are probably fine but do this senior a calming pause by telling me you’ve been checked and you’re good to go… take care, Mav… find some country roads and relax.. ☺️
This is so wholesome, thank you Suzanne and hope you have a nice day!
Dude how rude were those guys?? You had every right to feel the way you did and I tell you what you are stronger than I am that's for sure because I damn sure would have went off!! I'm from the East Coast so I deal with people like that a lot!! But yeah as always Great Video Mav!!
East coast virginia
Im camping in my car right now. Its my first time so its only for a night. You have inspired me to do it so thank you😀
The green bird in the park is a budgerigar, native to Australia. They usually don't do well in the wild with other birds but this one is really getting along with the US sparrows. Go Ozzie bird ha ha x
Hello mav my name is Javier,, I'm follow you on TH-cam I'm looking all your videos I love what you doing keep going Man I like everything you doing I like the song of your pickup truck when you open the door sorry my English but still I'm one of your fan
I had anxiety watching this. It wouldn’t have been me. Well done….I think.
Well then, that was hairy interesting for sure, Dinner and a very close Floor Show. Glad it worked out OK. Now...the merch is 🔥. Your vid did right by it...NYC BAABEE! And your NYC Burger looked ALMOST as good as a Mid-west Maid Right Burger! I make those a lot at home. Yummy 😋 😋 😋
Drop more of the bags!
Man Brooklyn New York is just crazy expensive 😵
and also congrats on 2M Subscribers 🎉🎉
I hate when people don’t respect a share space what an awkward situation bro
I worry for your safety mav. New York and Ca is very dangers especially San Francisco.
i went to college in NYC and ended up staying. been here 2.5 years now, get used to the random pop shots, fireworks, the sirens, all the noise and sketch people
Loved this video- I know the exact spot you stayed at- i love biking through that neighborhood on the water.
Damn everyone is sick . But negative for COVID. I been home since Tuesday. .hope y'all get better. And staying in NYC is daring lol
I just had the worst fucking virus of my life this past week but it wasn’t covid
