  • A basic camping trip to dust the cobwebs off the bus. First one of the year! I experimented with a little awning and had a relaxing night watching the hockey game. Nothing too exciting this week, but I've had to stay close to home to get people paid designs to workers at the house.

    SPOILER - I had an issue with the SD card and there is a missing scene in this video. Looking at a dual SD card camera for the future. It could have been worse I suppose. Cheers everyone!

      Panasonic GH5 isn't a bad choice, dual SD and lots of them going second hand these days if you want to save a Canadian kopek or two. You would have to get lenses and all that though.
      They have a degree of weatherproofing along with some of the lenses that you can get for it too, which would be good for all the stuff you get up to!

    We tried magnets with our tarp and bus too, but no matter how strong a magnet you use or how many the tarp ends up providing enough leverage in wind or rain to pull them off. We ended up using D-rings attached to the bus with well nuts, carabiner clips and a heavy duty tarp did the trick. Lots of tie outs are a must on windy days. Keep a set of telescoping poles too for emergencies. Also get yourself a 30amp plug to 120 adapter. $10 and it's worth every penny.

    You said it.. having a hard-sided shelter is such a great thing for a certain kind of camping. Never having to worry about an aggressive animal (especially when I'm traveling with my dog) or a big job tearing down camp is wonderful.

      Yes, I half expected to hear a crunch... Always something unexpected with Steve. My favorite was camping behind the sign and when Steve lit the propane stove, it had a real big flare up as he threw it off his lap...and just keep talking as if nothing had happened.

    Steve begs an interesting question when he’s using power for his bus “is this even camping anymore?”
    To which I say yes. I used to have this firm belief that camping was doing everything without modern amenities and no electricity. With the exception of a flashlight and lantern, I was doing everything in a tent and cooking over the fire. And that definitely is a super fu nets to camp.
    But camping can be done in an RV, in a trailer, with a raft as a roof, or just sleeping under the stars. I think the basic principle of camping is choosing to leave home for a while, disengaging with the hustle and bustle of day to day life, and choosing to enjoy nature. Camping is a form escapism and it shouldn’t be gate kept. I’m not saying Steve was gatekeeping it, but we can all agree we have met the person who will call to us rude name just because you use power or choose to use an RV.
    Camping should be fun and should be done at the pace you’re comfortable with. Regardless of how you do it, so long as you enjoy and respect nature, escape from day to day life for a little bit, and most importantly enjoy yourself while doing it.

      "Camping is a form escapism" Couldn't agree more. "Getting away from it all" is the heart of camping. There will always be people heading out into the boonies with less equipment, unless you camp naked. 😆

    • @jek__
      @jek__ 2 года назад

      The question gets interesting when you talk about virtual camping. You can have all the aspects of cerebral escapism, all of the physical sensations of being in nature, and on the grand scale of things being inside a wood house isn't any less in nature than sitting on the lawn. If it does the job it does the job, ultimately

No matter how my day is going I know that Camping with Steve can help me return to a peaceful place and help focus what's important in life. EDIT: "Camping in this school bus is the opposite of crippling anxiety." Being along for the experience has a similar effect.

    I tried to convert a minivan but found it was too small and so was a pickup box but your idea of converting a school bus is perfect and the space leaves room for a small fire stove or oil furnace or even both! Lots of storage and a diesel engine…. I’m convinced that this is the best way to go! Thanks👌👍🇨🇦😃
