On today’s van life/stealth camping food adventure, I ventured out to test a new heating system to keep me warm and comfortable on these very cold, bitter and windy Canadian nights.
We will be hanging out at one of our favourite truck stops and eating some of our top food items for Dinner, Snack time and of course good old breakfast.
If this van life adventure sounds like an exciting video that you want to watch, then grab something to eat, sit back and enjoy this video!

[@jimgrimmroth9205]

Understand what windchill actually means. If the temperature is -10 and the wind chill is -15, it is still -10...you would just get to the -10 faster in the wind so it "feels like" -15 with no wind. If you're in the van, you would not be affected by windchill at all. I'm sure you know this :-) Cheers!

[@douglasreeves9938]

Jim Grimmroth Almost made the same comment. Glad I found yours.

[@tina2750]

I'm guessing you don't do much walking outdoors. For those walking their dogs, walking to work, to the grocery store, kids to school, the windchill is absolutely brutal esp if they say it feels like -25c to -30c. It does affect us. I walk my dogs in these brutal freezing temps. No wind is a blessing.

[@jimgrimmroth9205]

@@tina2750 Oh I understand wind chill and I do walk outside. And, yes, I understand the "feels like". But I also understand that the wind chill doesn't affect the actual temperature. Ken, here, is an a van. i.e. not walking kids to school. If he decided to go for a bike ride, then he can mention wind chill lol.

Stop into an asian market and pick up a Korean heating pad in twin size. You sleep on top of them, not underneath them. Makes a HUGE difference.

[@luckytech7186]

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but if you are using a flame type heater, you should definitely have a carbon monoxide detector (like one for a small RV). I'll speak for everyone and say we want you around for a long time.

[@CHillAdventures]

i was a huge pop drinker,, until i found this brand of Carbonated Water called "Polar" just like La Croix but different flavors, i live in the US (michigan) but i have to assume its in Canada too 0 calorie 0 sugar ect ect ,,,, you should try it ,, thx for all the great vids!!! cheers

[@bazinga365boyy7]

Throw it down the toilet

[@rocknroller77]

Polar is a good carbonated drink, but for me it doesnt replace soda. I try not to drink so much soda and drink more carbonated water. It does help

They have you pull up because their drive-through is on a timer and they get bitched at if there drive through times are to high.

[@dianavise]

I put the heated blanket under me because heat rises. Then put a thick blanket over me. Works great

[@KBDProductionsTV]

I’ll have to check if this blanket can be slept on, some you can though

[@user-ws4sm4lz6q]

You make heading towards a clogged artery look so beautiful. Haven't been near an A&W in over 50 years, but my favorite was the root beer float.

[@414RadioTech]

That brings back memories when I used to have to live out of a van because I was homeless at the time and it sucked believe me it was not an easy walk in the park because the van couldn't even move it all and it was stuck in my parents driveway next to the garage taking up space in the driveway and having to run an extension cord to it just to be able to fire up the heater

[@tammyc5779]

Hey Ken if you can... put your batteries & cell phone inside a nice warm thermo sock to keep out of the cold elements... never keep close to your body!

[@susyward581]

You need a bowl of hot porridge with blueberries and honey. Plenty of heat in porridge , not much in processed snacks.

[@mike407r]

As a trucker I’ve had my share of truck stop hot chocolates and I know what you mean about a watery hot chocolate. One thing I’ll do sometimes is I’ll buy just a plain Hershey chocolate bar and break off one or two squares and just put those straight into the hot chocolate and as I sip they melt and sometimes it can really help a watery hot chocolate.

[@jlouutube65]

You're so fortunate to be doing this as a hobby when so many others are doing this just to survive. ;)

[@holly3891]

An electric blanket is definitely the way to go when it's cold out.

[@dans4125]

Best part of eating fast food before below freezing car camping is the grease stops your frostbitten fingers from sticking together

[@scubasteve7825]

I think Ken forgot to put the negative sign in the video's title... You definitely wouldn't need an electric blanket if it was +11º out!!

[@mrn13]

I would 🥶

[@maryelmaguire3161]

Oh I saw Old Dutch Potato Chips. Oh how I miss these. Growing up near the British Columbia boarder we would go to Canada quite often and get our favorite foods and Old Dutch brings back memories. I haven’t had Old Dutch for over 30 years.

[@mnews2270]

Love vinegar on fries as well. The NJ, Delaware, Maryland beaches have it at the boardwalk fry places. They only have vinegar and salt as an option. No ketchup. Which I agree with haha.

[@TheGLOSSette]

Or even come late afternoon 3 or 4pm do an early dinner late lunch. Then set up stealth, snack before bed and a breakfast. Good amount of food shown in a video and also shows the stealth part. If its warmer ot, maybe can start noon and do lunch and dinner and breakie next morning. And can ride bike, run, etc during afternoon to burn the calories.

[@SabrinApollo]

Dollarama has rigid plastic dish drainer that work great as a compact boot tray.

[@lukethedriftersghost4882]

Mom and pop are my favorites. I also like the 24 hour at truck stops also, sort of improvising meals.

[@marylyn5965]

My favorite meal at A&W is the teen burger combo with fries and a diet root beer. When I was a kid, we used to eat at an A&W that had one of those suspended fireplaces. I only ate hot dogs with mustard back then. That A&W was in Burnaby, BC. To help prevent moisture build up in Rusty, you can use a product called Moisture Grabbers. They come in triple pack of small size and a single pack of large size. The large ones will do a 10'x10'x10' room. They last about 4 to 8 weeks. We use the large ones in our RV and in our basement crawl space. Canadian Tire or Home Depot sell them.

[@hallowrayven7720]

Love it when you go to small towns to support Mom and Pop restaurants. Do more of those please. Great job with the electric blanket, smart thinking!

[@kc8341-]

what you got is a throw heating blanket, which usually is kinda small, they do have a twin size in blue, which will be bigger

[@richardfitzsimmons4312]

Ken...you were supposed to release the button on the hot chocolate machine when the cup was 3/4 full...lol...said so on machine

[@Johnny2Gats]

We had ONE A&W in my state, and it closed years ago. They have, in my opinion, the best fast food onion rings 👍

[@tylergoebel3487]

The Mr heaters are built with a shut-off valve so if there's too much CO2 in there it'll shut it off automatically it's made for indoor outdoor

[@SuperRoo_22]

There's another KZbinr who sleeps in his F truck alot & uses propane heaters to keep warm. He uses a CO2 monitor. Shouldn't Ken be using one as well? 🤔

Hey ken, it’s neat to see you try different things. Experimenting with different items for stealth camping. The 24 aspect is awesome to. 👌

At the part when you talk about cheesy treats and it amazes me you didn't know Cheetos makes those lol.. Cheeto Puffs ... but my fav snacks are the one you picked. Love Ms Vickies chip and any cheesy snack are my absolute fav.

A lot of drive throughs have timers to track the locations efficiency and other things. That's why you get asked to move forward even with no one behind you. Just FYI.

Hi Ken, just letting you know I’ve camped in much colder conditions in Iceland. iPhones and go pro batteries don’t freeze that easily. Less things to worry about I guess😂

Just letting you know, 6 days ago Ken release a video of camping in Rusty the van at a KFC for 24 hours in -22 Celsius outside temperature.

Love the design on the blanket ken

[@KamilleMK2]

24 hours are the best.

[@RMFH450]

I stayed at that same gas station for 2 nights last week...I found it to loud with all the truck traffic but it is a convenient spot for stealth camping. Great video once again Ken!

[@toddogre2491]

At walmart they have electric blankets that will run for 10hrs at a time. About 100 bucks. They have a instant preheat also and can be controlled by phone.also very soft and much bigger and still only 125 watts in highest setting.

[@Matt19matt19]

I weirdly like the winter ones when it's really cold. The car ices over and is more stealthy. There's less people out because it's so cold. Plus you can get cosy if you can get warm enough.

[@japnuts]

Prob Covid. Nearby town has many restaurants, even fast food that have been closed or limited hours due to staff shortage etc. Some surviving on take out. Awful.

[@Rick_Hoppe]

Hi Ken! I enjoy eyeing you experiment with new techniques and technologies. Your new electric blanket has a “cozy” quality that appeals to me. I think my favorite is when you first have lunch, then dinner, then breakfast in the morning. But just two meals would be fine; I’d rather you respect your mind and body’s wellness, than to indulge my whims. I’d still watch all your videos anyway!

[@jackzadmehr]

Love the 24 hours Ken!! Thank you for the postsss!!!

[@chriswalters2583]

The only way to eat onion rings Hass to be with white vinegar and salt

I've always thought A&W has the best hash browns. Their sausage tastes better than almost everywhere too

[@craigporter1817]

[@rjjone2]

Although I thoroughly enjoy it, I find most American fast food places do not carry vinegar packets which always irks me.

[@bomberb6186]

Numbnutzz, nice...heard that all time as a kid in wisconsin!

[@jamiefjones1]

Cheers 🥂 Ken love these videos 👍👍

[@canucktunes]

My favourite breakfast at A&W is the classic breakfast combo (2 eggs/toast/bacon/hash brown/small coffee), which is occasionally only $6+tax with an app coupon. And their coffee is strong! I rarely buy coffee from them but was in Arnprior a few days back and decided to try it. A thick polar fleece blanket also helps keep the cold out and heat in. It could allow you to use the low setting on your heating blanket. You could test it out with your thermometer.

[@tictuck]

We used to have malt vinegar here state side & loved it on fries & hush puppies

[@SlightlyCrunchyMama]

I’ve never tried onion rings with vinegar. I love fries with vinegar. I’m going to go to A&W to try it today. Yum 😋.

Hey Ken! Cool. Looking forward to the bigger van...I so want to do this too. Steve Wallis uses a Mr.Heater overnight, but in a bit bigger area. I think they're pretty safe... Just make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector...and you have that.

[@liamalepta8003]

I use a Mr Buddy heater in my tent, because my tent wood stove gets baking hot, the wood stove is best if its 20f or less. However , the mr heater is sort of to large for a mini van, they have safety devices if it tips over, but i will switch positions several times and afraid a blanket coprner will get into the grate of the mr heater, being in such a small confined area.

[@jjmarq5422]

Probably should change your into from vanlife to van night.. would make more sense right?

[@rachelolvera9435]

I’ve never eaten at a&w. And there is one near my home.

Great A&W choices! Too bad our only local one is a spring/summer/fall drive up stand. No breakfast or 24 hour options. We love our electric blankets for camping too. I've never tried them on just the battery though. My 2004 Winnebago wouldn't make it through the night without being plugged in or using the on board generator. Love your videos! The combo of food, camping, and fun is all the things I love. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Safe travels.
