    Damn bro, obviously everyone is talking about the excellent setup but I'm genuinely impressed by your cooking skills. You clearly know how to cook and I'm not used to overland videos showcasing REAL cooking skills lmao. You salted your water, have quality pasta. Great cooking knife, with proper holding technique. Squanched and minced that garlic no problem, crazy with the white wine deglaze and adding the starch water back into the sauce at the end. You are living the life, congrats brother!

      @@travisvanalst4698 You’re silly 😂 nothing wrong with that knife …it’s a camping setup. Are you suggesting he get a professional cooking knife set , maybe granite countertops and a stainless steel oven and matching double door fridge? This young man needs his own TV show …AWESOME!!!

    Damn dude! The back of the camper set up is pert near genius! Okay, the bed moves your build into genius. What is really impressive is that you haven't removed the seats, but have incorporated them into your build. You have the good stuff, i.e., CO detector, smoke detector and fire extinguisher. I totally respect your good sense! In truth, I am in awe of what you have accomplished and your travels. Wish I'd had a quarter of your gumption when I was your age. And dinner looks pretty darned good too.
    I have assembled a travel kitchen for my family for when we take trips together, the kitchens are never supplied to our needs, and I have a full set of knives with blade covers, I am tickled to see you have a blade cover for your knives too. It is fun to have all of ones necessities to hand.
    I also have my emergency supplies that I keep to hand. The last power outage proved to me that I will not survive the zombie apocalypse. I'm too old for that crap. However, I do recommend either a cat or two or a dog for a companion. Yeah, they take up space, but they are lovely companions on cold nights. And people will figure that you are talking to your pets and aren't crazy.😉😆
    I cannot express enough how truly impressed I am with your clever, inventive build. I think you aced this one!

    I had a similar setup in the 2003 Honda Pilot my parents passed down to me. My wife and I used it together and put 340,000 miles on that vehicle. We took out the singular seat in the second row to give us a place to sit up in the mornings before getting out of bed and held more storage. It was nice being able to take 4 people on a trip.

    • @sawyercamping
      @sawyercamping  2 года назад +1

    Thank you Sawyer, this is a very neat set up. Would you please do another version of the video where you zoom into the different parts of the build, like the hinges, etc, so we can see in details. Also the measurements of your build from beginning, cutting the boards, how put them together, basically, your wood working. It is for people like me who never took woodworking or use the circular saw before, for rookies!!!😀 thanks

    • @sawyercamping
      @sawyercamping  2 года назад +4

      Thanks for your comment. I would like to do a more detailed video at some point. If your interested in woodworking, you just have to start at some point. Even if you dont have access to tools, many cities have community centers that offer classes. Or you could start messing around with a basic hand saw (in a safe way).

    Newly Updated Safety Suggestions;
    I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
    I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
    People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
    I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
    Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
    I feel that you , and others RUclipsrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
    I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
    I shared this with another traveler as I watched their RUclips channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
    Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
    Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
    I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
    *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
    You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
    Do your research for the best fit for you
    Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
    Consider theses items:
    *Mini portable power charging station.
    I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
    *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
    Research to see what you prefer.
    *Very Inportant:
    Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
    There are various types of these devices, and including signal that can be used when boating or camping situations.
    There is also the Satellite communication devices, that can provide SOS emergency signal and GPS, and provide satellite text messaging capabilities anywhere.
    *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
    Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
    You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS emergency GPS devices will be a good fit for you.
    *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
    *vehicle battery jumper cables
    *Vehicle Jumper cables
    *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
    Smoke, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful...
    *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
    Exterior vehicle cameras
    Interior vehicle cameras
    *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
    *Portable spotlights, and lanterns
    Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
    *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
    Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
    Don’t forget to bring
    Bear Spray
    Pepper spray
    Where is allowed
    If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
    However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
    Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
    Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
    Although, I just noticed your RUclips channel, and other similar channels.
    You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions.
    Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
    Keep your vehicle gas filled
    Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
    Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
    Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze.
    Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate.
    Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
    Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
    Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump.
    Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
    It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
    Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
    Keep Enjoying Yourself,
    Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
    Just..Please continue to
    Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
    Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
    God Bless You, and everyone
    Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc.
    Please Be Safe...
