    My wife, kids and I spent a month on that beach a few years ago in a camper. It was amazing. The bugs get really bad right before sunset and then are usually fine overnight. Sometimes early in the morning they will come out too. We just started coming inside right before the bugs, wait them out and go back out. We were there late February through March in 2018. We did learn shortly after that a thermacell works great to keep the bugs away. Start it up and about 15 minutes later no bugs.

    First of all, loved the Ninja facial expressions when forcing the bugs to give up their ghost 😂 Next time turn off interior lights and set up a light source away from the van to attract them to the new light source and see if that works. You can rub citronella wipes on the screens as well. Your shrimp boil looked awesome! Keep on keep'in on and Stay Safe out There!

    Sorry your overnight at the beach was ruined by mosquitoes, but they are awful down south, especially near the water. I lived in North Palm Beach, Florida, for awhile, and I remember the large mosquito spraying trucks driving through our residential neighborhood streets and spraying our air with mosquito repellant. One night when I was visiting my grandmother in Mobile, Alabama, I was standing outside the house near some bushes in the front yard and talking with a relative for about 20 minutes. I later counted about 25 mosquito bites on my body. It's good you got out of there. But thanks for sharing that shrimp boil -- that looked amazing.

    Hey Ryan! I found your channel randomly on my feed at your 10th daily vid from the last trip and just wanted to let you know that your vids are amazing! I have binge watched them all about 2 times now and its honestly been a pleasure seeing your journey! I have so jealous of how free you are as person, I'm 25 and I feel pretty restricted in life from just overall school debt and other factors but I really admire your life and seeing this freedom through your videos really inspires me to one day do what you do! Thank you for all your videos and letting us see your journey it really means alot!

    Loving the videos. When you shut your bug screen it wasn’t shut at the bottom. Imagine they got in then. Also you shut the doors and the bugs in with you. Might be worth turning all your lights off and having a light outside before you shut next time. They will be attracted to the light outside and leave the van.

    Your shrimp boil looks very appetizing. How did it taste overall? Here in South Carolina, we have what is called a Low Country boil. It's very similar. When we make it, we sometimes add crab. Once all the ingredients have cooked (boiled) everything is laid out on tin foil or newspaper on a picnic table for every body to eat around the table. No dishes and normally no utensils. Sorry about the pesky skeeters. Hope you get rid of them. Nice video Ryan. Safe travels

    Cool idea, here me out. Since you are always cooking on the channel and trying new meals. May be a cool idea to have a board behind you where you sit on your sofa area when you eat and keep track of your top 5 meals. You can update the board as you go and new meals top another one. Could be a neat little Easter egg about your van / traveling life.

    Big tip I got from my sister when buying seafood at the grocery store. That is to just buy frozen product. Usually the fish or shellfish was frozen on its way to the grocery store and so they will thaw it out and it just increases the risk of them getting weird. Just a tip i was happy to learn and made sense to me.

    Mosquito tip from a fell RV'r Buddy: get yourself ONE small LED light, need everything else off and dark. The mosquitoes will have a "reunion" around it - then, using a 12 volt hand vacuum, collect them in that one cloud - let'em die overnight. Nice video, thanks!

    Ryan, I started sweating when I saw how much Cajun spice you added to the onion/garlic mix! You had to suffer from burning mouth with all that cayenne pepper! Next time you make a shrimp or crab boil, try one tablespoon of liquid crab boil to the water and only about a tablespoon or less of Cajun spice to the seasoning mix and shrimp. I think you’ll enjoy the flavor a lot more. So enjoying your vids. Rock the road!
