I HAD TO MOVE ON.. This could of been a great waterside park up but this weeks solo van camping adventure takes a frustrating turn when my neighbors ruined it. Thankfully, I moved and found a brilliant park up to enjoy some delicious food in the heart of the woods. #vanlife #campervan #camper #stealthcamping

  • Another good idea,for another time of course,is a spray bottle filled with soapy water. Then you can sprsy your hands to wash then,then hand sanitizer. Many van lifers in usa will use the soapy water spray bottles to wash the dishes afterwards,in order to save on your most precious resource.....water. can also be used for bathing!
  • @MummyJilly
    I think you are worrying a bit too much about the chicken. Washing in soap and cold water would be fine. Open the pack without touching it - turn it upside down and tip it in the pan. Cut it in the pan. Also you can wash the knife after the chicken and before the veg, to be honest the veg is getting cooked so it doesn’t matter if the knife has been used on raw chicken.
  • Brilliant vlog as always... Got a small request... Get your ol'man to get a camper van like yours maybe. We think hes great. Would love to see him out more.. He great😊
  • Top tip.....never use levelling ramps whilst stealth camping! If you need to make a quick getaway youre buggered 😭

    Hi Brendan, watching from Australia. I think you are adorable, what a lovely young man you are. I'm very impressed with your all 'round wholesome and extremely likeable persona, and smart too. Very entertaining and switched on. I often think you're a natural for television. Don't know why someone hasn't snapped you up. Frustrating to see you park next to those vehicles. That's the last thing I would do if there was room around. Too close to other people if you're trying to have a nice time on your own, and can invite trouble. I get the flat surface thing, but parking areas are usually fairly level. Be that as it may. One thing I will say is I feel sorry for you having to pay for parking everywhere you seem to go. It's unbelievable. Love your videos and look forward to more of your adventures.

    Get yourself a fixed solar panel on the roof for the extra power, victron do a charge controller for them never have to worry about running out of juice for the diesel heater
  • @benchambers6351
    Just walks into Aldi loads his bag up and walks straight out. Good lad.
  • So glad to see you up and running 🏃‍♀️. I love your videos and thank you for putting them out for folks like me. Cheers😊
  • @Hedz1964
    Think some of that special baccy might have wafted into the van. First the oak post that made me spit my tea. Then had to cut the veg first before the chicken so not to contaminate the veg with raw chicken. Then proceeded to put the veg in with the raw chicken to cook ? 😂😂. Still another enjoyable video
  • Great video Brendan, loving it pal👌🏻 I’ve enjoyed every camp we’ve done too in our traffic, just can’t beat it can ya 😊 All the best JP- Living the dream
  • @alexisparker9702
    Great vid. You and your dad are great together. Good to see ya back on the road.
  • @PK_Blinder
    Blithfield is one of my usual spots as I work in Rugeley.... I normally park up by the orange car... Does get quiter later
  • @Gavthelegend
    Absolutely love your dad, for some reason he reminds me of Paul McCartney. Always a great addition to the videos.
  • @TheWelshDragon86
    Great video, Brendan 👍🏻 Do think you need a few spare bits of cutlery in the van. Cutting the bap with spoon made me laugh!
  • @Barlowpaul97
    It's great to see a fresh video, Brendon. i must if I watch all of your videos in space of a day lol
  • @Alivefrom45
    Nice video Brendan, the park up in the forest looks nice and the butcher had some much to choose from.
  • @lnks2571
    Omg…I binged watched all your videos and I’ve caught up and craving more. 😜🤙🏾
  • Hi Brendan, glad you got the engine sorted. I was worried after the last video but glad all is well. Nowt worse that smack head numpties parked near. I had that on a parkup and they ended up tipping out piles of maccy d wrappers ( which I picked up after they'd gone)- which no doubt the locals would blame on camper vans. Looks like you had a great few nights despite outside spoilers. BTW, always good to see the legend that is your Dad. Its sad he didnt get along with car camping as that video you did with him was brill. You should persuade him to come on another.... Come on Brendan's dad, do another camp out with him-your fans deserve it! As ever Brendan, much respect🙏- Kenny
