As a 24 year old HGV driver your videos are great company and really keep me entertained while away from my family for weeks at a time , you have inspired me to convert an old Renault traffic and go out on trips with my little brother and mum when back from the continent in the lorry and have made some great memory's for us Thanks Will all the best from Dublin port Ireland
Will, (for me anyway), you absolutely nailed this video. We've had it all!!! Singing!! Cooking! Paddle boarding!! Football !! Litter picking! Absolutely love this video mate. You seem a different person and this is something that proves to everyone out there who feels down every now and then that there is light at the end of the tunnel, just ride the storm, you'll get there! Keep em coming!! 👍🏻👍🏻
5:20 Its based on how the water flows, if its upstream it's where the water came from, downstream is where the water is going. If your asking how do you tell throw something in the water and whatever way its starts to float thats downstream
It's so important to take care of your mental health, and you sharing that you see a therapist is just so good. I have anxiety. The therapist I am currently seeing is such a great fit. I am myself for the first time in so long. So great to see you enjoying life. I have nothing but appreciation and admiration for you. So many suffer in the shadows. Bringing this subject of anxiety and depression into the light and showing how you cope and now have your enjoyment of life back is vital.
Up/downstream = direction the water is travelling. If travelling with the flow, you're going downstream; if travelling against the flow, you're going upstream. Also, left/right bank are usually defined when travelling downstream too (so left hand bank is the bank on your left when you're travelling with the flow of the river).
Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that. It's not always following the direction of the stream. It's not true for tidal streams and rivers. You could go downstream, but against an incoming tide.
@@sevmato Indeed, but I don't believe the river in the video was a tidal river. I perhaps should have specified a freshwater (non-tidal) river in my original comment.
great seeing some uk van lifers. this was our life for half a decade down in cornwall so lovely reminising! We converted a 3.5t box luton & did stealth so just looked like an argos delivery van, a teal colour we hand painted with 4 inch roller. then when lifted up back roller there was a balcony/porch with stained glass windows & window box. we loved our Yihny lol! Stand up padle board, awesome for your core and body and fun. we used to also attempt to surf so had our boards in there with our bike and snowboard which never got to use to go to europe. if we were more confident and knew more about filming, narrating and youtube would've been good for us. but we didn't and always the future and more adventures when we get our health back! good on ya for litter picking, one of those sticks may be good haha. Be kinder with yourself though. you're not a twat for spilling some food. with our therapy and healing our self talk has been hugely important. not meaning to preach just wanted to share take it or leave it but all aspects of you deserve kindness and love! thanks for sharing and being you much love take care xx
Great video Will. You are living my dream! Van life and SUPs. Get Yourself to the coast for some Coastal Paddleboarding. Woolacombe and Combe Martin are gorgeous in Devon 👌🏼👌🏼
Nice one for picking up a paddle board! Just one thing - Google the j stroke and it'll save you constantly changing sides when you paddle! Then show Neil how to do it!!
Will…it’s great to see you doing so well!…enjoying your alone time and having fun…brilliant to see…loved the Video and thanks for tidying up the litter left by others…good for you…Brian.
AcousticVet said it well. To know which way you are going, stop paddling and bring the raft to a dead stop. Then see which direction you are moving. That will be downstream. Thanks for sharing this camping and cooking video. Have a great day.
Oh boy ... start adding some potatoes to your curry! Really great. You just chunk them up and add them early on so they cook with the other ingredients. What a lovely spot where you can cook with your doors open!
It’s so good to see you happy and having on your own, I spend a lot of time on my own, it doesn’t bother me, you get use to it, your setup in Mary looks really neat, I’m so proud of you for not giving up. Thank you Will for the useful information, what would we do without you, all the best Will, see you on the next one. Love to Mary. 🚐✌️💕🙃😎🚣🏼♀️
So nice to see you out and enjoying the Van, also seeing your MH on the up. Incidentally we met on coral beach last summer on Skye whilst u were with charlie and lauren. Gave you all some places to vist there and in the lakes where im from. Looking forward to the next video x
If your sitting relaxing in your boat and suddenly plummet to your death over a waterfall this is called going down stream ... If your paddling franticly for an hour and don't get anywhere, this is called going up stream.... hope this helps
Quick paddling tip - learn to do a J-stroke! When you master it you will save a whole bunch of effort and you’ll be able to just paddle in a straight line. Plenty of videos available on how to do it. Good luck, great vid.
Good to see u coming back to your old self ..... Happy will is better lol mary looks good have u polished her .. . Keep that smile going buddy .stay safe from me in ireland have good week look 4ward to nxt vid
Hi Will, good to see you enjoying life and all that it brings. Upstream & Downstream is current, the direction of flow, watch the water flow, if you are paddling against the current you are paddling upstream, paddling in the same direction that the water is flowing, is paddling downstream. You didn’t mention it, but washing down from the back of the van, 👍👍👍. you have come a long way since you started the build. Keep sharing. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👍😎
Nice one will. Ah mate, that looked so nice, nice park up, good food and footy on...How things have grown over the years.. starting with the Galaxy, camp food on a tiny stove and footy on your phone to a bigger vehicle, bigger stove and footy on your laptop/monitor...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 paddle boarding looked fun as well✌🏻
A tip for while using the chopping board, fold up a tea towel and place it underneath the board, this will stop the chopping board from moving while chopping up vegetables etc.
Great vid will but please get yourself one off them litter pickers if you picked up tissue and it had a needle in it better to be safe mate loved the paddle boarding getting one ourself soon all the best have a great week donny
Good afternoon Will. Hope you are fine this days. It's nice to see that you take your time to make some real dinner. I hope your sky is blue this days. Love from Norway
Rivers start from mountains and rivers end when they go out to sea ,so rivers at the mountain are up stream rivers going out to sea down steam hope that helps ,when it becomes had to work out is when the water is still
Good vid. I need to change my van set up. Life looks easier in yours. Chopped out my fixed bed and put in a rock amd roll. Looks good, comfy sleeping but pain in the arse for cooking and watching telly and stuff. Looking forward to your next tw@😄.
Love that spot, surprisingly quiet most the time in terms of parking. Although I’m in a less glamorous work van having lunch! That village normally has a huge bonfire, hopefully they do it this year!
Good one Will, I'm making that curry tonight cos you've made me so hungry. Look forward to more recipes, kayaking and perhaps a hike or two. Glad you're on top of things mate! 👍🏼
Wil - simply brilliant, my son age 10, took full notes of the curry recipe & did this evening for dinner. Amazing stuff - well done indeed. Next he’ll want to eat in the car (sorry no van here!) we’re Woking and good to see your local stealth locations…
I would definitely recommend a Google Chrome Cast, it plugs into the back of the tv and then you can wirelessly stream anything off of your phone onto the tv! I got mine in the Black Friday sales last year, but they tend to be quite cheap as is 😃
Up/down stream.. Follows the direction of the water flow.. With the flow=down stream... Against the flow=up stream. Learned this when I was 2 days old 🤣
@@WillsWhereabouts love your videos mate and so glad to see in your last few videos you seem to be a little happier within yourself. Please keep up the great work and I will never forget your brake job video. I was rolling around in stitches
Your enthusiasm for music is great, and quite eclectic taste! (Take it the short snippets don’t affect monetisation)? RE handbrake, maybe check in with CamperVibe as they’ve had issues with Fanny’s.
I live in Australia were we get 34 degree days often in summer even higher and l never have a hot meal at night its cold meat and salad by cooking your dinner it heats up the house a good tip next hot day alsonl like how your camper van looks
Handbrake can usually be adjusted 1. at the rear drums (either self-adjusting device needs cleaning and sorting, or manual adjustment) then 2. the cable can be tightened if 1 doesn't fix it. Buy the Haynes manual.
Hate to I feel ur pain will over there across the pond in Philadelphia we also have been having heat wave for the last two to three months and now we have been having on and off rain storms I wish u lots of luck hopefully it’s rains over there
Kudos to Will for policing the area and picking up litter. Litterbugs ruin it for everyone.
Will you deffo need a firestick to help you watch the football, get in touch with me if you want some info
@@TheGreatEmigrate lol
Wear gloves when you litter pick but yes kudos to you.
Big up the litter pickers!!
@@TheGreatEmigrate How do we get in touch with you?

Could you invite Will over to the Emerald Isle and show him how hospitality is done.
Is Eire okay for the van life?

Mary has come a long way and it's so good that it all just works now! Brilliant stuff Mate.
Thanks Moe, Mary has come along I’m really pleased with her 😊
AcousticVet said it well. To know which way you are going, stop paddling and bring the raft to a dead stop. Then see which direction you are moving. That will be downstream. Thanks for sharing this camping and cooking video. Have a great day.
Thanks for the information 😃
Here’s a good cooking tip:- Always sauté your onions first, then add other items like peppers, then your chicken etc
Great tip I would add if you have fine cut onion and rough cut onion the fine cut adds to thickening the sauce.
Hahaha, come to S. Nevada (Las Vegas) desert where everyday in the summer is 38C +.
Oh boy ... start adding some potatoes to your curry! Really great. You just chunk them up and add them early on so they cook with the other ingredients.
What a lovely spot where you can cook with your doors open!
Hadn’t thought of that! 🙏😊

What a wonderful and lovely content especially when you were kayaking while singing in the jungle that’s my favourite part of the video.
Lovely stuff mate. A tip if you will. Get the oil hot before adding the meat as your basicly poaching it in the oil to a degree as it warms up
NGL bro... Thumbnail brought me back to your channel, but your videos are genuinely entertaining. You've got yourself a new subscriber. 👍

Exactly, but it didn't look like much current there though.
I'd also say that going North was up and South was down. :)

Paddle boarding has become one of my favourite things very quickly 👍👍
A tip for while using the chopping board, fold up a tea towel and place it underneath the board, this will stop the chopping board from moving while chopping up vegetables etc.
You got good eyes for details!
Superglue is better.
If you’re in the new forest soon there are some great spots to SUP and even a beautiful river paddle in Southampton 👍
Brilliant video lots of ideas .looking real good . good luck 🍀🍀🇬🇧🇬🇧☮️
Thank you 🙏
Your toes at 4:49 made me laugh
Great vid will but please get yourself one off them litter pickers if you picked up tissue and it had a needle in it better to be safe mate loved the paddle boarding getting one ourself soon all the best have a great week donny
You just need to wear a plastic glove (get them from petrol station) to pick up other people's rubbish - take care, you don't know where it's been 😒
Good afternoon Will. Hope you are fine this days. It's nice to see that you take your time to make some real dinner. I hope your sky is blue this days. Love from Norway
Thank you, I hope you also have a wonderful day 🙏👍
Great vid Will really enjoyed the content and so pleased to see you embracing vanlife. Onwards and upwards!
Once again watching your content from an M1 services, heading home from working on my project narrowboat, love your vids man👍
Rivers start from mountains and rivers end when they go out to sea ,so rivers at the mountain are up stream rivers going out to sea down steam hope that helps ,when it becomes had to work out is when the water is still
Brother good to see you so positive stay blessed!!!!
Thank you 🙏 ✌️
Great Video again Will, we loved Buxton 😎Steve & Anne IOW
Denbies is always a good park up. I'm full time I'm my van in dorksville.
It's the way the water flows will
👍👍
Good vid. I need to change my van set up. Life looks easier in yours. Chopped out my fixed bed and put in a rock amd roll. Looks good, comfy sleeping but pain in the arse for cooking and watching telly and stuff. Looking forward to your next tw@😄.

Love a good bonfire 🔥
Broke self. 🤰🏿👩🏿
Those EcoFlows are mega, I have one, expensive but bloody good.
Sitting down to Sunday lunch, could do with something to watch.... perfect timing and perfect watch 👍
Will, tried the curry recipe, delicious and terrific but try it with one addition, dry roasted peanuts as a garnish after you plate it. 👍👍👍
Mmm sounds nice and would add an extra layer of texture 👍👍
Good one Will, I'm making that curry tonight cos you've made me so hungry. Look forward to more recipes, kayaking and perhaps a hike or two. Glad you're on top of things mate! 👍🏼
Thank you, appreciate it and definitely give the curry a try 👌👌

Thanks Mark 👍
Loved your video mate
Thank you 🙏
Good stuff mate glad to see your still smashing it
Thank you Joe 🤘
The water current tells u which is up stream or down stream. The current always flows down stream will. Gr8 vid again will. Maxxxx
I would definitely recommend a Google Chrome Cast, it plugs into the back of the tv and then you can wirelessly stream anything off of your phone onto the tv!
I got mine in the Black Friday sales last year, but they tend to be quite cheap as is 😃
You've got yourself a proper liveable van now, Will.
I came for the adventure, I stayed because you Will are eye candy. Keep up the good videos in only shorts :) hahahahaha cheers!
Fab video as always mate, keep safe
Thank you, appreciated 👍👍
Great vlog. Used to live near the river mole. Very pretty river. Love your lifestyle Will. Best wishes
Rear brakes have two systems hydraulic for foot and cable for hand they'll just need adjusting properly!
Get yourself to papermill lock mate in Essex. You'll love it there for paddle boarding
16:16 Coconut milk in curry are the best, even in drink, coconut milk makes everything taste better
Very tasty indeed!
Litter pick. Best bit ever. Respect.
I have that same Ecoflow battery. I love it.
Great piece of kit 👍
Up/down stream.. Follows the direction of the water flow.. With the flow=down stream... Against the flow=up stream.
Learned this when I was 2 days old 🤣
Thanks for sharing 😊
I have my whole van powered with the eco flow delta Max and it's fantastic
Great products that really pack a punch 🤜

Fair play cleaning up the lay by Will 👍
Leave no trace 👌
Your enthusiasm for music is great, and quite eclectic taste! (Take it the short snippets don’t affect monetisation)?

Thanks that’s a great idea 💡
Hi will thank you loved your video awsome fun delicious meal lovely van great work nice place to camp 🙂🙂🙂🙂💙💙💙💙
It was a lovely little spot, thanks for the lovely comment 💜
I live in Australia were we get 34 degree days often in summer even higher and l never have a hot meal at night its cold meat and salad by cooking your dinner it heats up the house a good tip next hot day alsonl like how your camper van looks
the direction of the water goes is down stream lol, keep it will and we see you in the next vid!
Well done lad, looking healthy and happy!
👍👍💪💪
Good video pal, onwards and upwards, more adventures, more memories, 😁👍
Thank you 😊
And 400 comment welcome.
Hi there, great video. Thanks for that goosebumps everytime watching you camping and think about me live on the stealth van.
woooooop cooking is back XD. looks like a great bit of grub, might try and steal that of off you.. and again another great video XD
You should definitely give the curry a go 👌👌😋
I'll hit you up on Instagram for the resipe
Nice video will.... you was watching the best team 👌😏 enjoy see you in the next one 🍻
👍👍🤘
Really enjoyed this one. Keep it going. All the best
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 🙏
Loving the videos will, I see you are fairly local, if you are ever in Abinger hammer and need any mechanical or tyre services pop in!
Thank you 🙏
That curry dish looked fantastic! Your new EcoFlow power bank is a great addition 👍
Some places in Scotland said not overnight stays but 90% of the places I visited I stayed in lay-bys and car parks and it was great!
Same summer every year, only difference is the constant media scaremongering 🤔 great video Will 👍💥
Thanks mate love video keep smiling my friend
Thanks 😊
Get some decent wipes WILL to protect you when picking litter also good for mud and grime
Downstream is in the direction of the current i.e towards the sea. Upstream is towards the source of the river
Handbrake can usually be adjusted 1. at the rear drums (either self-adjusting device needs cleaning and sorting, or manual adjustment) then 2. the cable can be tightened if 1 doesn't fix it. Buy the Haynes manual.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Stay hydrated and well
You need a pinny for cooking and eating in. Maybe some Will's Whereabouts ones in the future? I'd buy one.😁
I see a great merch idea here 😂
The river where he’s at looks like it is standing.get it where in will’s whereabouts hahaha 🤣
Stretched handbrake cable there shud be two bolts by the back of the handbrake tighten bolts or leaking brake cylinder
you should go to wiltshire there are loads of places to stay over night free as well i am new to living in a van its brilliant
Hate to I feel ur pain will over there across the pond in Philadelphia we also have been having heat wave for the last two to three months and now we have been having on and off rain storms I wish u lots of luck hopefully it’s rains over there
It’s great to have THE Will back, seems it may be through the help of Jayne / Jane, as was the curry 😂
Those security lights are a great idea
Thank you 🙏
the have pumped a lot of sewage into the rivers and sea again, so that might explain the river level
👀👀
Love your video you got a nice setup in your fan
Thank you 😊
What are the outside lights you got.... haha just seen in notes
👍❤️
will great a working fan in a van .. well done buddy keep up the good work
in regards to your handbrake will it might just need the cable tightening, or worst case scenario you might need a new cable entirley
Thanks 🙏
