Nice to hear that you are packing when hiking and exercise proper gun control. I glad I am not alone. Keep up the good work on your videos.
Self sufficiency requires personal protection. Stay safe, and thanks for watching!
Worcester! Paris of the 80’s!!! Love it!
Oh yea, cool vid too! Thanks!
#19. Awesome. Ours is a 10mm. For bear repellent.
#24, another smart idea.
Awesome Mark. We actually just bought a can of actual bear repellent, just to have! Keep on keeping on!
love #19
Love your attitudes! Great tips for the RV Life! Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching - see you down the road!
I'm just learning about RV camping and I really liked this video. Thank you for making it
You're very welcome! We hope you have as good a time camping as we do!
My number one boomdocking tip is stock up with Trader Joe's paper bags...I hand one near my kitchen area and put anything paper trash in it. The bags are 10 cents each and when full are great to use to start your campfire.
Great idea!!
Pretty cool list of items. Thanks for sharing and subscribed
Thanks Jim!!
Excellent! Just came across your channel. I subscribed. Finally, authentic cool people to watch and learn from. Keep it going!
Thanks Winston! We’re glad you find some value in the videos! Appreciate it. Have a great day!
Those are Great Tips!!
Thanks! We’re glad you enjoyed them!
Super helpful, Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Came across your channel and was just watching it in the background. Saw the nice lady show her Sig pistol. I subscribed! Excellent advice, especially for women.
Hahaha. Yeah, I wouldn’t mess with her! Thanks for the sub, maybe we’ll catch you down the road!
Wow! So many useful idea! Thanks!
You’re welcome!!
Great information. Thanks.
You’re very welcome!
That was a very entertaining video. Never thought of owning or traveling in an RV but could not stop the video. That was great. A lot of informative material in an entertaining way. Kuudos.
Thanks so much! We appreciate that. Glad it kept you entertained!
Love your video, much information. Planning to start to live tge RV soon
Thanks a lot! Best of luck to you, it’s a beautiful country.
Cool tips, thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome!
Awesome info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. I hope you post more soon
You’re very welcome. We’ve been stationary for a while but we’ll be back soon. For updates check out Jenn’s blog at rvnomadphotos.com
Thanks! Happy New Year!
One of the top 3 gadget videos I've seen. Thank you.
You’re very welcome, what are the other 2?
Y'all are awesome!
Thanks man!
12:26 ❤ FELL IN LOVE ❤
I don't even own an RV and yet this was an excellent 21 1/2 minutes.
I would argue that a musical instrument should've made an appearance on this video.
That’s awesome. I have a uke and a guitar - but honestly haven’t pulled them out in months. Those will have to go in part 2!
Ist video that was actually full of useful info. Thanks
You’re very welcome! Glad you got something out of it!
Nice shirt! I recently moved out of Mass to go RVing in New Mexico and always love seeing Worcester memorabilia.
Awesome! We love NM. Worcester… Paris of the 80s
543 here getting ready for our first trip. Thanks for the video. See you out there
Awesome! Best of luck, safe travels! Catch you down the road!
#19 earned you a like.
Good ideas! Looks alike a lot of fun. Very practical (well MAYBE not the One-wheel 😂!) I loved that it was so unpretentious. I had just watched a video where a couple that looked straight-off-the-tennis court touted a 200.00 boondocking French press, a 100.00 rechargeable wilderness coffee grinder, a 500.00 quadruple locking anti grizzly metal box for outdoor food storage and a 300.00 jerry water can. All well and good perhaps but, WOW, what I really probably need is some collapsing storing-cooking containers (well and truthfully the jerry can with antimicrobial and charcoal filters built in looked pretty nice.)
Everyone camps with different means and priorities. That onewheel is probably my most used item. I use it everywhere, it’s got over 600 miles. If it broke, I’d replace it immediately.
AWESOME INFO !!!! I love the protection part . I thought you we’re gonna say I carry pepper spray , Mace or bear spray . I couldn’t believe you said Sig Sauer 9 mil ! 😂LOVE IT ! Good job, be serious about safety .👍🏽
You know it!!
Can you do a video on how you hooked up your buddy heater? New full time boondocker here, and finding ways to stay warm with little electricity has been difficult! Appreciate all the help from this video! Thanks!
Hi! We use a hose like this www.amazon.com/GASPRO-Connects-Appliances-Stainless-Portable/dp/B08P7H13Q4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LwrjInMnqXaNxA2D_H2G9thfgsEk82jbc0uuePQcU9SwgdZfT9uQOMjvWv_9oOX6t2lKWcAxvcztCMzV7eJplj589jsr8Q7DWMEoqMdWUXKtUaI-9sZB2UkNaPgCFYJn4pXQ5N6l4Dk3iT_rjSYqViqiQmqzSXt3xXyFJ7nD0kanBR0Jbpa7-dSwbym4uP09qRYQcE5iroTTsp1z3CTuY4pKQumEaTKvcRp2zptehY4.DLadj2NY-q9JaegRgYEe9tXhX90ocFRt-MR5RMU64Gg&dib_tag=se&keywords=buddy+heater+hose&qid=1705469033&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 to connect the buddy to a BBQ grill tank.
I laughed at the giant key chain. Great video that added some items to my shopping list, thanks. What about those chairs at the end?
Glad you got something out of it. Those chairs are called zero-gravity. They’re nice and hold up, but they’re big and relatively heavy.
Great video I can think of a bunch of items you missed but that's okay stay safe and great Pyrenees
Oh we could make like 8 of these videos. ;)
You put a pic of a gat in your thumbnail 😂😂😂
Sub!!!
You know how we roll ;)
totally into the IP and air fryer lid
It’s been great! Now we know not to use it when we’re off the grid though :)
CORDLESS/HOSELESS IMPACT WRENCH FOR THOSE PESKY LUGNUTS THAT GOT OVER TORQUED AT THE TIRE SHOP
Luke I love seeing you and your wife doing so well it's my wife and I dream to do what yall are doing I hope you haven't forgot about me you were my best friend in school I hope all is well my friend much love to you!
Hey buddy! Glad you're enjoying the videos! I might remember you, what's your name??
@@MacNeilsOnWheels or just me Jay Hennessey I love the videos brother I know we haven't been in touch in years but happy for you my long lost friend that's obviously doing awsome 😀 ❤ I laugh when I see your untied shoe laces (lol)
@@eastcoastj1194 Jesus. Of course, I remember. I think about you all the time, and for the last 10 years or so, every time I drove by your old house, like 6 times a day. And the crackshack. I'll never forget. Love you man, hope you're well!
great ham radio info - W2TU
Thank you Sir! KB1WNK
Great video! Instead of the one wheel I recommend ijason folding electric bike it can go 40 miles on full charge and double that if you use pedal assist, it’s also a bit cheaper coming in at 800 bucks really great for getting around once you parked up.
I've been using the onewheel for 3 years, I have about 500 miles on it, it rides over gravel, sand, snow, ice, and pavement. If it broke tomorrow, I'd buy another one immediately.
@@MacNeilsOnWheels not saying they aren’t great I was just throwing out my recommendation for anyone reading the comments it’s all preference both great opinions.
Good info. Thanks. Btw- what are the chairs you have at the very end ?
Hey thanks, glad you got something out of it. They’re called Zero Gravity chairs.
Very unrealistic boondocking, haha. Thanks for sharing. Yes to the buddy heater and shower head. No to most everything else. Lol. The key item that you miss in your 27 unrealistic boondocking spectacular would be an inverter connected to your trailers auxiliary batteries used during peak solar and generator hours. Your RV is 1 huge battery inverter generator, why in gods name would you buy portable power banks. 😂 Forget I said anything... Good luck.
Well, the inverter is a pretty obvious one that didn’t need to be mentioned.
I don’t know how much more realistic you can get.
We need portable power banks because it’s 2022 and we have a ton of camera gear that needs to be charged - even with 400ah of lithium batteries and a 3k watt inverter there are lots of times we need more - and even more time when the sun isn’t out.
The portable power banks have saved the day more than probably anything else.
You might not need that much, but you’re probably not rendering 4k youtube videos and charging 8 cameras offgrid on solar power either.
That’s reality, buddy.
Have a great day though.
Excellent list. Thanks for printing the list.
I would suggest a $150 USD diesel parking heater over the Buddy heater. Good riddance to mine. Especially if you have any breathing problems. Then there is condensation problems burning unvented propane.
The One Wheel needs at least a full face helmet and hard wrist protectors. Those numerous wrist bones are quite fragile and will take the brunt of your fall along with your fragile chin. I know this from experience but was protected. I have a lightweight gravel mid drive ebike conversion. I have 3 separate 48 volt 20 AH batteries for the bike. I can convert the 48 Volt to 12 volts. Stay away from proprietary systems. I am debating on a 48 Volt to110V sine wave inverter. Only the microwave needs 110V and I can live without it. I have a 1000 Watt Honda generator to run for charging the bike/house batteries and computer batteries. Though the idea is to get away from the computer and read real books and do real things. I am not full time so Solar is not cost effective. I already had the generator. Out here in the East, there are trees and shade everywhere. The only critical power need is the Parking heater and bicycle charging.
I already have many of the things you suggest. It looks like you already have a low flow kitchen faucet with the single lever. That was my first upgrade. The bathroom sink is next for singe lever control. The shower is more difficult to convert but will eventually get a temperature regulator so I do not have to worry about burns from the 140F hot water tank. The Oxygenitic shower head is the best!
Use witch hazel in a spray bottle with paper or real towels instead of wet wipes. I did that while bicycle touring years ago.
The cheapest thinnest cotton towels and washcloths are the best because they dry the fastest and use the least amount of water to clean. Also good with Witch hazel spray as you can pack more of them. Microfiber is too hydrophobic for my taste.
Using Ammonia for laundry and no other soaps. If you bucket wash, you just have to rinse the dirt out. The ammonia will evaporate. So you can get away with one rinse and not worry about the extra rinse to get out the soap. I use Ammonia for sleeping bags and heavy, thick clothing so I do not have to worry about soap build up on the fine insulation. Probably best to store outside the environmental cabin.
I have a wonderful Gazelle 12 ft pop up gazebo that will fit over campsite picnic tables because my trailer is so small. It is truly everything the advertisements say it is.
I need to look into this RV Master Key problem.
My 17 ft Trailer and 3.6 H6 Outback only gives me 480 lbs of cargo. I have to budget weight carefully.
Thanks for watching. Great tips.
I use a normal bike helmet and wrist guards with the onewheel, but - Ive taken enough dumps on it and put several hundred miles on it ;) I think a full face is a bit overkill. It’s a fantastic filmmaking tool.
Out here in the southwestern desert, condensation isn’t much of a concern. It’s dry enough that we don’t have issues. In the east I could see where that might be a serious problem!
Awesome tips, we don't boondock but we do make sure that we have protection because it is so crazy out there and there are people or animals who want to do you harm. How do you like your NP 310rlts we are picking one up next week?
There are definitely some parts of the country that feel safer than others and there's a lot of drug use out there - but we haven't come across anyone or anything looking to do us harm.
The NorthPoint has been a good rig, though we had big issues with it and Jayco in the beginning and we had to get really unreasonably loud with corporate to get it resolved. We were able to get it sorted and it's held up to us full time for almost 2 years. Nothing is leaking and everything still works. We did have to replace the tablet that controls all the systems, that died - but no big deal.
Good LIst of things most Rv'ers dont have and are one offs :) make a cobiot that one the flex tape not to use it on the roof as it is not true Dicor it is a different formula and you really want to make sure use ONLY use Dicor ( type products or that are capable of chemically knitting and working with it ) on the Roof :)
Zero gravity chairs (like the ones you are sitting in at the end of the video). I never leave mine at home.
They are great. They do take up a lot of space though. Worth it.
you lose 20% power using propane. and even the honda eu2200 will not start most ac units. best to buy a honda eu3000. pluse the weight of it helps it from growing legs. but bolting it down is best.
My concealed carry permit is recognized in 24 other states, so I carry where I camp unless prohibited by rules / laws.
Most of those states are constitutional carry states anyway.
Guess I set with a diesel heater. Way cheaper!
Whatever keeps you warm
Glad to see someone finally admit to carrying a pistol!
#28 A bong
Well, yeah
Here is one item you may want to look in to, it basically cooks like a crock pot without using electricity. Check it out.
Would not throwing your dishwater outside attract animals. I thought number one rule of camping, “leave the site cleaner than you left it”
??
If you don’t want to dump your dishwater, don’t - but don’t judge us for it. I wouldn’t recommend it in bear country.
They use dawn dish soap to clean oil spill covered ducks, I’m not worried about dumping my pasta water off in the woods.
Dude, fascinating, but, if ONLY the One Wheel XR was $1200. That's what a Pint costs these days, the last XR price I saw was more like $1800. Still want one. Was bitchen riding yours around the Caroline's parking lot!
It’s only money Rawb. Can’t take it with you. There’s a new batch of onewheels out now so I bet the XR has come down.
Bro......that bag of weed tho!😅😅😅
You know how we roll ;)
sad but garmen had this little very low priced gps. no real bell or trinkets. but it did a “back track” thing and way points. so give to the kids and they can always find home.
now only fancy with to many bells and trinkets very co$tly gps on the market.
NEED AMAZON LINKS TO BUY THE PRODUCTS
Peep the weed 😎
You know it!
The bucket was good for cleaning your nose?
Hahaha. The nose of the rig ;)
Get rid of the Buddy heater , find a GOOD diesel heater.
No thanks. Buddy heater works great. Enjoy your GOOD diesel heater.
All good points but you completely skipped the survival kit of bandages, whiskey, cigars, quinine and tourniquets. Unless you folks never have any emergencies.
Fingers crossed!
Do everyone a favor and link to all the products so we can buy them! Seriously your losing money
No thanks.
Am I safe to travel???
We don’t know. Are you?
@@MacNeilsOnWheels I am asking because you have so much security protections. Is it your interest or do you have problems on the road? It was not a flippant question.
In the places we stay our rig stands out. It’s hard to miss. You should always be aware and protect yourself. The world isn’t safe. House, RV, or otherwise.
I don’t worry about it in Mormon Utah, but I do when we get near the Mexican border and other obviously depressed areas.
This rig would be a good hit for a meth head and it contains everything we own so we take security seriously.
@@MacNeilsOnWheels gotcha. However, what makes you think Mormon Utah is so safe? The Mormons? Think again...There is violence in Utah as well as to go e border of Mexico. Just saying...be safe always.
probably should put your baggie of smoke away before filming…..lol
Why? We’re adults and the country is obviously over it. You can smoke pot and be productive. Moreso, generally.
@@MacNeilsOnWheels You are right, Yes you can as long as your in a legalized State. As far as I am concerned there is absolutely nothing wrong with it you go fourth and conquer, just don’t think I would be advertising it on RUclips for those looking to bust someone…..
@@saintb6969 I appreciate that, but since it's not 1993 anymore and it's decriminalized in some form now in 37 states - I'm not too concerned about the man. I like normalizing it. I'm a big fan, and I'm proud of our country for standing up against the war on drugs. It's probably the only thing I feel like we've done right in my lifetime.
Nice weed
You know it!
You have Ham Radios? What’s your call sign? And ‘shooting the shit’ in Ham Radio lingo is Rag Chewing.
Please note: It is illegal to transmit on the Amateur (Ham) Radio Bands without a licenses!
Of course we do. KB1WNK.
Vacuous virtue signal much?😂
I don’t even know what that means.
Never, never toss grey water outside.
How rude.
Use to flush instead!
That's um, like, your opinion man. Do you never use water outside? Never washed your car or hosed the dog crap off your shoe?. Don't come here with that.. Don't dump your blackwater. That's rude. Grey water is water. Don't be a jerk, don't dump chicken juice on your neighbors steps - but grey water on the ground outside is fine. Where exactly do you think all of society's grey water goes? Stop it.
Funny how my replys keep getting deleted.
Why is that?
@@richardloebel take it up with RUclips, Dick. There are obviously places in which it is inappropriate and against the rules to dump grey water. On the vast majority of public land, it is not. It's called grey water because it's not suitable for drinking. If it were toxic, it would be called black water or hazmat. Puddle water is also grey. You should filter it before you drink it. Dawn dishsoap and water from our camper is not anywhere near as toxic to anything as rain wash-off from lawn chemicals and oil leaks on the roads. If it were, they wouldn't be pouring it on endangered oil covered ducks. Don't push your morals on others, that's the only rudeness happening here. If you don't want to dump your greywater, or you're never in a situation where it makes sense to do so, don't. You don't have to get on the internet and shout to the world how rude we are because we do. Ok Karen.
