Right on. I noticed the sounds while editing and only left them in because they went along with the story. And the story is, don't try "Bam," it is a terrible recipe. :) Thanks for watching.

Last year while driving through Minnesota we stopped at the Spam Museum. (Yes, it's a real place!) I hadn't had Spam since I was a kid but I discovered all the flavors they have now (including Jalapeno Spam) and tried it again. I wouldn't trade it for a rib eye, but when camping it's not bad!

@@bigrobsvan I have spam singles in my trunk rn. I'm afraid to try it tbh. I'm sure I won't die. My father would eat spam... but why? Other food exists. Lol. I need to fry it up.

Haha! I was actually kind of terrified that she had the burner on top of the picnic table and she later told me that if any kids were around, she would have put it on the ground. I am glad I didn't get hit with a pie iron, hot or cold.

She is old school. Microwaves are the future!!! :)

I still have it installed and it's still working great! It's a little finicky about which USB sticks it'll read, but other than that, no problems.

Yeah, that guy has to be an employee. It was there when I got there around 5pm and still there the following morning when I left. He either works there or was on one heck of a poker run!

Love it! I do all my Amazon returns through Kohl's. After each one they give me a discount coupon and I try and find a customer to hand it to before i leave the store, hah.

Nooo! I hope it's still under warranty! I love mine but always worry about that tiny connection on the bottom snapping off.

@@bigrobsvan that's exactly what happened. I tried connecting Bluetooth w/ no luck and my camera doesn't have a headphone jack so I need an adapter to use the cables... the quality of audio is better but the process is a bit much. I also want my deadcat in the same case as my transmitter n receiver. Why a case within a case?

@@ericcomp7032 Yeah, I lost the deadcats almost immediately. Bad design on that part. And I agree, getting them out and hooked up is always a "process." I just bought some new ones for my phone and they don't sound as good but they are way easier to use. And they came with a case that doesn't hold the deadcats, but it came with a "pouch" that holds the charger and the deadcats. Ugh.

Bugs Bunny was always saying "I dream of genie with the light brown hair" and my friends and I would always say "I'm the genie with the light brown weenie" ... amazing that I forget my password, but remember that stuff!

@@bigrobsvan I remember the family phone number from 1985 when I was 5yo. The brain is fascinating.

@@bigrobsvan Those cartoons are why I'm always wary of playing a randomly-placed piano. Never know what's going to happen when you hit that last note... 💥

@@mysticgreg Everything I know about classical music came from Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker.

@@bigrobsvan Just like everything I know about physics and explosives came from Wile E Coyote 😄

Mailing stuff is my kryptonite! If you want some, shoot me your address and I'll mail you some!

@@bigrobsvan I did I am a patreon

@@charlie01178 Ah, well that's even WORSE! Tomorrow is my birthday and I'll be returning home Friday night. I'll get them out Saturday morning -- promise!

@@bigrobsvan happy birthday 🥳🥳

@@charlie01178 My wife bailed me out and helped me get the stickers out Wednesday night. They should be there any day. Enjoy!

I honestly don't know how people do full time vanlife here in the midwest during the summer. Either they go indoors somewhere, or drive north. It's brutal. Thanks for watching, Birdie!

Ah! Thanks for watching and subscribing. I hope your weather out there is more mild than the summer we're having here!

Thank you, friend -- and I didn't even have to get tased for it!

Be there in 10 months!

They would still find a way to overcharge us, lol.

Thanks! I have not figured out the exact ratio of likes and subscribes per tasing but I am working out the math.

Thank you, Mia, and thanks for watching! With a face like this, comedy is all I have going for me. :) Oh and the Meta glasses are awesome. The take pictures and film in 1080p (vertical only), plus work as a Bluetooth headset (they have speakers built in to the arms) and have an AI backend so you can ask things like "Hey Meta, what does this sign say?" and it will read it to you. EDIT: When filming, the one thing you have to remember (which I always forget) is not to whip your head around so much!

What? These are the upgraded Temu lights! The original ones got retired for being worse than these!!! Not a lot of QC in the remote/frequency department over there. I love these lights but every time they go dim because I turn on the television I think I'm having a stroke.

@@bigrobsvan and the glue. That's pretty sad. How much did the company excecs bonus go up for using almost glue? Someone attached their wadded up chewing gum to the outside of my car 3 years ago and it has survived the hottest summers and coldest winters. No lie. The gum has no color left, is deformed, and is kinda like an art installation at this point but it ain't falling off.

@@ericcomp7032 Glue ain't want it used to be. I remember my first grade teacher taking rubber cement away from me because I was sniffing it too much. For what it's worth, I had the most creative art in the class! If this Gorilla glue doesn't work on these magnets I'm going to try chewing gum.

Yeah, ain't no sense in getting mad at them, they're just doing their job. Once I saw how many cars were in this parking lot my fear of the knock went away. I can't imagine they drive around looking in 500 cars every night. Or maybe they do, I dunno.

I do have one of those and didn't even think about it. I agree, the thought of those discs breaking always terrifies me. I usually wear goggles but should probably get a whole face mask or something.

Define "slowly..."

Hey, you're right -- I forgot all about box trailers! I have seen some really cool ones and definitely need to do an update! All those 90 degree angles make me drool! :)

I honestly think stealth camping has as much to do with attitude and picking smart places to crash as it does with any sort of "disguise" or anything. I've been working on my own "philosophy" (Maxim? Manifest?) in regards to urban camping and most of it revolves around the concept of "don't give people a reason to notice you." Sounds like you might have sparked the topic for next Wednesday's video!

If I did everything in one video I wouldn't have any more content! Waiting for it to drop below 100F before tackling the next big project.

There's a big gathering called Skooliefest. My wife thinkgs it's funny that gatherings are broken down by how many windows you have! I think the idea of converting a bus sounds like a blast and the logistics of driving it around are probably a nightmare.

Oh yeah! I have seen videos of those things and they are like the old joke about where gorillas sleep -- those things can park anywhere they want! That being said... my wife and I bought our first real house right around y2k and it was less than $100k and I know things have become more expensive, but paying more for a vehicle than a house is just outside my brain's ability to process. For the record, I've driven across the country twice in rented RVs and other than the ability to sleep more people, I'd pick my van every time. My buddy and I drove a rented RV 2,000 miles round trip from OKC to WV and back and after all the expenses were totaled it would have been cheaper for us to fly, rent a car, and stay in a hotel. I'm already waffling about my choice of minivan at the end of the video -- I think if I had a minivan, I'd want a full-size van like the one I have. The grass is always greener...

HAH! You would never starve with all the water-spraying flowers and cream pies in there, and if it ever broke down you would have 100 guys ready to help push. Brilliant!

Gotta put up with a lot of roommates, though.

I remember thinking the one my grandma owned was small, and that was when I was 10 years old! I can't imagine trying to live in one today -- especially, like you, being a bigger guy. The sleeping options seem to be over the cab (good luck) or on a table that converts into a bed (ouch). Check out @KimannChessa on RUclips. She lives in a camper full time, although full disclosure she is 1/3 our size.

It was SO. HOT. this afternoon! I have never tried camping there (too afraid of the knock) but it's a nice place to hang out on the weekends.

SUVs are super popular! I think Nomadic Introvert either parked or sold her van and purchased a Subaru Outback, which she is living out of and recently drove to Alaska. I don't think my knees are good enough for all that crawling around but you can drive and park them just about anywhere. Good luck!!

They are still nice and bright and I still like 'em. They don't throw as far out as some of the brighter halogen ones, but then again that means they don't blind every oncoming driver, either. It's a trade off. I haven't upgraded since these.

Great thank you 🙏🏾

With a solid phone connection I didn't experience any lag or buffering, but when my connection speed drops, I have seen some choppiness. Mirroring involves pushing a lot of data. The units that allow USB connections between the phone and the unit are less convenient, but seem handle mirroring better. Recently I learned that not all USB cables are the same and I've upgraded replaced a lot of my older ones with newer ones from Amazon.

They definitely help you organize projects and get things done!

Thanks, man. I don't know if the van will ever be "done," per se. It just seems like a never-ending series of projects. As long as they're enjoyable and it's affordable, I'll keep at it.

I replaced that storage cabinet with a makeshift sink and a shoddy storage solution and I'm already planning on rebuilding it (of course). It's flimsy and the water container (7 gallon) takes up SO much space.

Cool, good luck on your build! My wife knows how to get stuff done, lol! Thanks for watching!
