Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 : amzn.to/3rMe72l
In this video I go solo van camping in woods with heavy rain and test out the new arctic air pure chill 2.0 While Car camping it rained pretty heavy at times, but was still able to get a fire started. I felt the Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 was worth the small price and kept me cool when directly blowing on me. I also show and review my new off grid power setup which is the Bluetti Ac200P with the B300 expandable battery. I feel the Bluetti Ac200p with B300 was a great addition to my campervan / minivan camper. Car camping in the rain is my favorite, so hope you guys enjoy this video.

I have an Artic Air as well. I soak the filter and then freeze it. Seems to give pretty cold air that way
I’ve heard the filter only stays cold for a couple minutes before it melts, but would be fun to try.
@@TolbersCamping its not a long lasting fix but for that immediate hit of cold air, works for a bit. The ice cubes in the water definitely helps the temperature be cooler. Its a fun little machine. I use it on my desk when im working
@@TolbersCamping Bought two and that is exactly what happened!
Can I ask you something? Are the Artic Air batteries or electric
I soak freeze too... but I don't notice a difference ...just a fan...quickly melts cold... and not that great of a fan
For those that don't know, that's not an air conditioner, it's a swamp cooler and there's a big difference. Something that small isn't going to do much at all but I understand being so hot that even a temperature drop of 2° is welcome, lol. I just wanted to mention that because it's a swamp cooler as opposed to an actual air conditioner with freon, make sure you have a window open to let some of that moisture out or you're going to be sorry- climbing into a damp sleeping bag is never fun.
Your heat is too high. It’s better to take your time, low heat and slow cook.
and get a non stick pan or a good cast iron, its magical how badly eggs can stick to stainless steel
@@Asksksksk true....I think everything sticks to the stainless. I wouldn’t have one.
Right
I think I should have used 2 eggs instead of 3 on that smaller pan also. They were to thick which made it not cook as quick and hard to fold over.
I really enjoy watching your videos. The adventures with your friend Joel are hilarious. Greetings and best wishes from Germany.
Low heat is the key also a non stick pan along with olive oil spray works great!!
18:49 what is that reflection in the woods. Looks like some kind of light reflecting off the fire but I've never seen that before
That’s just lens flare from the camera.
A properly seasoned cast iron skillet will elevate your perceived culinary skills, not to the level of a paddle-boarding former White House chef from Martha's Vineyard, but it makes a huge difference. Lodge brand at Walmart, not Target 😬, will complete the transformation 🍳
Thanks for the info 😁
Been awhile! Missed your solo camping with reviews on products
Life’s been crazy bro, but starting to settle. Videos should get fun and more frequent over the coming months.
Hey, where's the moon shade? Heat is too high and it's the wrong pan for an Omelette. You need a non-stick Teflon coated pan. Keep up the good work.
Cool gadgets Matt! Did the Arctic Air moisten the van's interior even without the mister on? Would you recommend the portable fire pit? Thx, stay safe!
It was very minimal without the mister, but with the mister on it will definitely ad some moisture over time. I definitely recommend the fire pit for ease of use and portability. Also it being off the ground is good for grassy areas or where you can’t dig a hole.
Matt, I’m so glad your back. I’ve missed watching your videos. They’re always a lot of fun to go along with you. 🙋🏻♀️🙏💖
I saw that Mav vid and was wondering why he thought it would do anything with look warm water in it. Gotta follow the directions.
True, he still makes very entertaining videos 😂
I love the sound of the rain and nature. Missed your videos and so glade you're back.
😁
Yay! Going camping with Matt. I have a Bluetti and fridge/freezer setup as well. ❤Love it. Nice fire skills, Matt.😊 You tried something new with the Omelet. Awesome. Miss your burgers. 🤩
I’m decent at burgers, omelette definitely needs some work 😂
Cook your omelet on low heat. Cooking good food requires a little patience! Always enjoy your videos ❤❤❤😊
Agreed 😁
Love these van camping videos keep making them you’re probably my favorite van camping channel because of the quality of your videos but also because you recognize that nature was designed by a great creator
Amen, and thanks! ✝️
😊😊😊😊
Hey Matt
Always Enjoy Your Camping Videos
Great Channel !!
Thanks 😁
very glad I found ur channel, good vibes all around!
Fun video! Thanks for the Arctic Air info, I was wondering about. I think I’ll try one! Your omelet was cooked on too high of heat. It doesn’t take much heat to cook eggs. You’ll do better next time. Blessings! 😊❤️
I cook my eggs 🍳 in a skillet medium-low to medium heat.
*New subscriber here! I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially the Bible scriptures. Keep encouraging others along the way. God bless.*
Glad to have you Nicole, God bless!
Dude you’re yolked now 😂 keep up the good work. Also cook your omelette on low heat.
Thanks bro and yeah I’m leaning from my mistakes 😆
Get a Hexclad nonstick pan. They’re great. David Ramsey only cooks on hexclad. They’re not cheap but worth it.
Does that work on an induction stove?
Teflon pan would've worked better but stainless steel also works. The trick is to not put anything in the pan until it's heated. You don't want the own to suddenly cool down by adding cold eggs or any other food to it. Use cooking oil when the pan is hot and wait for the oil to be at a good temperature. Not too hot, medium heat. Then it'll be just like cooking on Teflon... also, don't use the pan when it has food already stuck to it. You must use a clean pan.
The trick is a non sticking pan hun..then ur amlet will be perfect. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks, God bless!
Nice Video and nice gadgets too.
Just a word of caution though...
NEVER advertise on videoe your vehicle license plate !!! Way too many weirdos out in la la land can actually look the real YOU up...
Besides the scammers etc...
Nice setup and thoughtful description of everything in a pleasant voice ..
THANKS for being out here Matt 🎉 teaching and entertaining us all 😊
I have the first gen Arctic Air....and it works great, for where I live. The bad reviews tend to be from people who don't understand how evaporative coolers work...they don't do much in humid climates, the drier the climate is the better they work
23:28 For your frying Pan to be non stick.Turn up the heat Put some oil on your Pan move it around. Until the oil is all over the frying Pan. Your fine pants should be nonstick Add the eggs They shouldn't stick anymore, Use vegetable oil or cornola. oil they don't have that much smoke, when cut and high temperatures.
When starting a fire, take your cooking spray and soak a single paper towel. It’ll burn for 8-10 minutes or so. That power station setup is pretty awesome.
Great tip, thanks!
I think you need to use proper cooking oil or butter instead of the spray stuff
Can I ask what you do for a living. You said you worked for UPS for about 15 years so what do you do now? I work for the department of defense and I’m watching from Guam where I’m at now.
RUclips and other online income sources. I’ll be completely debt free soon, just working on getting my income up a little more and then I can start traveling and making money while doing it. It’s definitely a journey but freedom is everything for me.
I gotta know where you ordered that "The getaway" license plate from!? I tried looking but can't find it.
You have some pretty cool stuff and that power station is epic with the fridge, etc.
Thanks and some local guy makes them to say whatever you want. I’m sure there are others online you can order from that will do the same thing
@@TolbersCamping thanx for the response :) I'll check around more!
The power station is indeed epic!! Love this video.
Those are cool fire pits. I got grill for it. Its nice you can kick to settle embers through screen. I never used that gaurd😊
Non stick pan unsalted butter heat on low take it slow 👍🏼
Dude buy a nonstick skillet and some butter flavored cooking spray and turn the heat down bud lol
You got a very good and comfortable looking setup too bud we have a Dodge grand caravan too I’ve been thinking about taking it to my cabi just for branch out trip to other locations I’ve got a off grid cabin up in a national forest and a wma here in GA but there’s so much to see and do up here it’s unbelievable and so beautiful here too but I’d like to do our van like you did yours with a few other modifications lol !
Slower, lower temp cook, more oil
The nuwave is a good product but the pan is not great. Get a replacement magnetic pan with a ceramic non-stick finish. It's way more forgiving for amateur cooks.
Let Joel Candy do the cooking next time.
Deal
I have fallen in love with camping and I realize tgat I will need to invest in these 'toys'😅It is extremely impressive, and I hope to get there one day but listening to you provide THE MOST comprehensive description is blowing my mind right now. I need a cigarette right now....and for those reasons, I've hit the subscribe button😂
I've come across your video before. Love them👍🏽
😂 thanks! Yeah technology is getting pretty sweet and making camping/living from a vehicle pretty nice.
The Thermacell is one of the worst things you can use. It’s neurotoxic compounds are deadly to humans. 🥵😩😵💫
I use non stick spray and omelette will literally slide off when you tilt towards plate. Just started seeing your videos and I’m hooked. I live on center of Minnesota my whole life. I’m an e-biker too and I bring my rc boat for a rip when I come across water. Keep up the good work brotha 32:39
Love this channel, the wife daughter an I wait for these with excitement! Much love, brother, stay safe. Bless our creator for the wonderful world we live in!!!! Bless you and your family. Stay creating and keep on keeping on Tolber!
Thanks bro and super glad you and the fam enjoy them 💙 God bless you guys
@TolbersCamping God bless you, Matt. My apologies for the late reply. I just got the notification!
Hot sauce ... always save the eggs. Thanks!
I love the sound of rain in the woods and loons singing in the background. Love MN camping! 🤟😎❤️🔥🏕️
Also, you look great! Are you trying to loose weight, or did it just happen? Curious only because I’m re-focused on getting healthier myself. Cheers! 💪😎🏋️
Looks like you forgot the Reese's Cup at checkout. Dang!
It was actually just sitting there at checkout, should have purchased it though 😂
In my setup I would try to make a adjustable table to level up. Threaded feet perhaps. Good point though.
I noticed that you lost weight instantly. I hope you are doing well. If you were sick and lost weight cause of that I really hope your feeling well again.
Been on a journey to get in better shape this year, still got aways to go but much better than I was 😀
@@TolbersCamping You still have a ways to go? You look very healthy. I think you look fantastic. The change I saw was remarkable.
I can't camp with people because of the smell of deet and sunscreen.
Just me and the wet stinky dog.
When I found your channel I was thinking this guy is handsome, I’m catching up on all your videos. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Heat is way too high and non stick skillet is your best friend plus you need to move the eggs around till they set up that way your eggs won’t brown cause that’s gross. It doesn’t have to look good to taste good.
You're noticeably more fit. Great video, as usual.
Thanks, I knew I needed change.
The bad reviews are bc the arctic air leaks. It’s probably improved by now hopefully. I took mine back. That was a year ago. Good vid Matt.
Bro use butter with the omlette ... way better.
Only advice I'd say is making cook it on lower heat maybe not stick as much idk that helps when I make eggs
Heat doesn’t matter. Try using actual butter or a lil bit of oil. And try an egg skillet it’ll make it easier and won’t stick at all
I don't know how to set up electrical can you say again or list what kind of power source you are using?
Olive oil would have done nicely and still fine to use with steel pan on medium to low heat but non stick pan makes lifer easier
You're losing power by plugging in the AC adapter. You could have just plugged in via USB C it's more efficient.
I was just using what’s in the box and I had to much power already for this trip so didn’t matter, but yes I agree the less you need the ac inverter running the better.
Thanks for reviewing the arctic air!
Congratulations on your recent weightloss. There's nothing better than living in a strong and healthy body.
Thanks!
Did you like the portable firepit more than the one with the site?
Normally it’s best to just use the one with the site, but a lot of the times there is no fire pit where I go so just wanted to test it out. It was super easy setup and worked great.
Maybe it’s wrong type of pan
So much power. I've been on 1500wh of jackeries for the past couple years.
Couldn't imagine having over 5000, would barely have to charge.
Yeah 5000wh is a ton lol. I just got the Jackery 3000 I’ll be reviewing soon. It’s my first Jackery so kind of excited
Lower your heat and cook it slower.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Excellent, another clip from the forest. Always an inspiration to me. God bless, brother.
"It's still food..." - my culinary approach 100% :-)
😂 thanks bro! God bless
I am watching this on my break at Target 🎯 lol
Nice 😂 I used to work there back in the day
Certain oils and butter cooks at different heat. Turn it way down or just scramble them bad boys lol. Good luck man. Also congrats on the weight loss, lookin good brotha!
Thanks bro and yeah I’ll continue to get better at cooking as I get all these tips 😂
cool lil vid...ill try my best to keep the hater vibes in check...BUT....that lil ice ac would NEVER....EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER...work here in south tx...come visit...119° heat indexes daily all the way to Nov😊
So we're at the point now we're speaking Factually or truthfully. On the internet is classified as hater vibes. It's already bad enough that people that give criticism rather constructive or not are considered trolls to be ignored. It's no wonder people are so divided in this country. We're not even allowed to have a civil conversation anymore. And disagree on something. Without it being blown completely out of proportion.🫤
The ice would probably be melted before I hit record 😂 you definitely need a nice ac in those conditions.
Also, I think if you use more butter in the pan, it will keep the eggs from sticking like.
Agree
The little bernzomatic torch heads are awesome put it on the green coleman cans and instant fire 🫡
Yeah I need one
I'm glamping. I brought ice machine. Might try that mister on both sides of my bed in van. Using ice machine. All a experiment
It’s fun to try out different options until you see what works best
Hey, how are you? It has been awhile. Glad I get to see another of your videos. Always look forward to your videos. ❤
Hey, I’m doing well. Been a very busy year so far but things are calming down 😀
Where do you get the sun shades? I have a caravan and can’t find a single one that fits my vehicles windows. Couldn’t find a link under your videos
They are from the weather tech website. Can get them custom fit for your vehicle
Cool video! Those bluettis are unreal!
Thanks bro and I know right!
Except their customer service just like ecoflow. Luckily I own both their products and haven’t had issues. But even just inquiring about things is a pain in the neck.
Instead of caving into their expensive ass add on battery pack for this same unit. I just got an extra 2, 12v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery in series a charge from there into the solar input an got a lot more battery backup. An didn’t give them fools my money.
If from what I seen for customer service. An what I seen others have been through with with them companies. Couldn’t see giving them more money.
So to much an to many posted emails from others with them on new multi hundreds or thousand dollar products left out to dry with an expensive block of nothing. An wasn’t chancing that.
I got that one a the ecoflow ac an a few other things. But it’s to easy to build the same thing out yourself even better in a decent enough case/box. That does all the same.
But if one part goes out. Change the one part. Their all in one things. If one thing fails. A they leave ya out to dry. It’s pretty much useless junk at that point.
They have made a killing on sales and screwed over many.
Non stick pan dude!!! That pan you have is born to stick!
LOL!!!! I just bought an Artic Air for my camper van and haven't had an opportunity to use it yet.
Nice 😁
Yay! A camping video from Matt 🦋🌲🌿you are the king 👑
Do you have the link for the bug zapper with the flame?
I know damn well my boy didn’t leave the Reese’s behind!! 😤
It was just sitting there when I checked out 😂
@@TolbersCamping lol yeah I figured after I commented.
Another trick is you can clean up that mess with straight vinegar out of a spray bottle..no water needed .. you just use paper towels to wipe up the mess
Put all my paper towels in the fire to get it going or I would have lol
Those poor marshmallows! They never stood a chance being plunged into the fire like that!
😂
Less heat when cooking. Use a non stick pan on the go. Again, less heat.
I like the easy paper signups, hate doing everything online
Your using spray to cook and that's probably not a non stick pan
What a beefy power system! I only have 3 smaller power stations, 2 Bluetti eb3a's & a little 300watt GoLabs. Portable solar panels. And 2 Dr Prepare batteries with power hubs to keep my fridge & freezer running when off grid. I can manage though, that's part of the fun!
I like that solar bug zapper. Maybe I missed the link for it?
I have 2 of the smaller ones that you have. They are great for gnats too.
Enjoyed the vid! 👍
Love your video's!! Thanks for sharing with us. ❤❤
Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Jesse Williams mixed with mac Miller
Mac Miller many times, but not Jesse Williams. I can see it 😂
@tolberscamping fun vid
Just found your channel on YT recommendation and suscribed. I exclusively use stainless steel cookware and always season the pans. I know a lot of people attach seasoning pans to cast iron only, but the science is basically the same and it works for stainless steel and helps reduce sticking to near nothing. Looking forward to more videos!
They are blue Jay's you're hearing.
Really, it sounded crazy in person.
Eggs in a stainless pan are tough. A nonstick is easier. For stainless, the pan has to preheat to just the right temperature. There’s actually some you tube videos on it. I’ve played around but it’s a PITA. I gave up and went back to nonstick lol
Big like from Arkansas my friend 👍🏻💛🙏🏻
Thanks Bill, God bless you brother
A comment for the RUclips algorithm and a thumbs up, well done. I might learn something. Glad that wasn't a stinky beer, other day watching a video of stinky dead fish on a beach you could smell em' thru the screen.
This is a DIG from the past. I live somewhere humid and those things make it worse.
It gets pretty humid where I am and it still felt very good. Atleast having a fan with cool water, if you don’t have it blowing at you and only putting more moisture into your vehicle then yeah I could see that.
If you put a tiny bit of butter and oil together in pan it will not stick and burn and have your heat low 👍
Ok thanks
Yes i have an artic air, my expectations were low and my thoughts on it even lower. Yes as someone stated here put the filter in the freezer, but still only lasts a minute, but when used it, the store was 80 degrees
Yeah freezing the filter seems to be pointless from what I’ve seen.
@@TolbersCamping I'm sure you read the directions and wet it first too? The concept is there but ya fell short
We have one for our farm stand it works nice and goes about 4 hrs
Dude, you must have a couple hundred grand in power boxes..lol.......... 😂👍
If I didn’t have to sell them all for money I would have a ton of them lol
How did you sleep with the Bluetti screen shining in your face?
It turned off
Heat needs hotter for stainless. Quick cook
Well done on the health journey, brother! What a flex to have baggy pants from weight loss!
Thanks bro, definitely still on it but enjoying the progress
