Anglesey 2021 Vlog 12 - Cemlyn Bay, Fixing The Little Red Camper

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Well done Ken 👏

[@suzysandiego6478]

Great job with that fix Ken! You and Carol roll with the punches and make the best of a bad situation! Secret to a happy life and relationship!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Suzy ❤️

[@jwilson2042]

Ooooh! I’ve got some cable ties and they are going straight in Cheryl. Thanks for that peeps. 🥰

[@DiamondSu48]

It occurred to me after watching you use ramps, have you not a car jack, which may have gotten your vehicle higher and yourself better access? 🤔 I’m verily impressed at your repair. 👍👍 Cable ties are lifesavers 😉

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We do carry a car jack and it probably would’ve got the vehicle higher but I would never trust a jack when looking underneath the vehicle. Probably would have to mind if that was the only option. 👍

[@bedclintred]

Cable ties & a reel of duct tape are essential items to keep in the van. So glad it was not worse & we can look forward to more of your adventures. Well done Ken. 👍😁

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We will certainly be packing the cable ties on all our future trips 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

[@DavidJohnston58]

Add WD40 and you have a full toolkit.! 😂

[@collectorguy4379]

Yep as said a good pack of cable ties - essentials! Those small tight roads - God help people on a busy day it would be gridlock I imagine

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We learnt the hard way. Always packing cable ties from now on 🙂👍

[@OurDaysOut]

Well done Ken with your temporary repair. 3 things I always carry are Cable ties, Gaffa tape and Super glue, they will normally help with most repairs. 👌👌

[@kerryquinn7188]

Good idea I must check and see if my hubby has any of those in the van, especially the cable ties. Thanks for the tip, best wishes from Northern Ireland.

Love your videos feel so at peace you have a very good camera voice. Like the ingenuity of the cable tie. My dad used to teach me all tricks and about mechanics it’s kept me on the road over the years. Thanks for sharing.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Angeline ❤️

[@Roobarb_Defender]

I’m confident your cable tie fix will last for years so I wouldn’t be worried about it for the rest of your trip. Another little tip is if you don’t have cable ties that are long enough for the job they can be connected together (as many as you want) to achieve the desired length. 👍🏻

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Cheers Viking Roo thanks for the tips 👍

[@drchrisoneil1007]

Thank God Carole that Ken can turn his hand 🙌 to most things 😉 legend 👍

Watching this at home…about a mile from Cemlyn…with a big bag of extra long cable ties hanging in my garage…if only I’d known 🧐

If only I had known 😁👍. I did consider putting out a message but we were running out of time and the shops were shutting so we legged it 👍

Great watching good stuff indeed.

[@CamperVanya]

OH WOW! Just as I was thinking how delicious your cream tea looked and that you both deserved it after the van incident … what a fantastic surprise! It was very surreal watching you watch me in your camper just when you said you needed cheering up too! Thank you so much, I have a smile from ear to ear this morning 😁😁. You’ve both made my day already! Glad you managed a temporary fix to get you back underway, and I loved the resourceful filming method used while working under the van. Take care both and thank you again, Sue ❤️ x (still grinning!).

Good morning to you both and well done Ken your the man a good quick fix on the van :) I have always carried gaffer tape and zip ties in my car as part of my small tool kit I have also learnt to carry it in my suitcase when traveling now . I have never seen a drive up to laundry that is amazing and so useful. The narrow roads are quite something you must be getting used to them now . Look forward to the next leg of your trip happy safe travels .

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I have learned a lesson through this Shaun. I kidded myself I could just rely on the Nissan breakdown service which is a mistake. I will be putting together a better emergency repair kit now. 👍. The more you drive these lanes the easier they become but even for our little van they are tight.

[@marykenna5778]

Great you got everything sorted.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Mary 🙂

[@martinking4181]

Great you were able to get the cable ties. Putting them on looked tricky in a confined space. Well done.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The ramps are rubbish. It probably gave me another inch thats all. It took longer to get it in position than I showed. Then I had the zip tie the wrong way round so it wouldn’t tighten. 🙄

Good work Ken. Some people would call that a permanent repair, but I know you'll get that sorted when your home. It's such a space saver taking less clothes and doing washing on the road. I'm seeing more and more of those launderettes at garages. Glad you got to continue your trip.

Belt and braces - that's me. Our van is not much bigger than yours (VW T5). Apologies if I sound a bit holier than thou.

However it ended up being a good day for you, with your clean clothes, a good meal and a lovely place to park up. Looking forward to seeing your next video, best wishes from Northern Ireland.

Always wondered why I carry cable ties etc. Sometimes I think I carry too many repair items, that is, until something goes wrong.

Cable ties will be in our van going forward but I have precious little spare space for tools etc. Will be building a mini breakdown kit though now.

[@nigeldavey1043]

I had a similar problem about three years ago on a really wet weekend coming back from Hereford. It was all down to a flooded road that had a bit of a hidden dip and deformed and partially ripped off a shielding section by the exhaust system. I had to call the RAC as there isn't any way I can get under a vehicle in my state of health. Funnily enough it's a Nissan too but a Juke so a little more clearance than a standard car. The patrolman pushed and pulled at the offending component and secured it with a couple of big union clips. As you say, it's all pretty you can do in the middle of nowhere in particular and it was a Sunday evening with just about everywhere closed. It all took so long that when we finally got to Gloucester I headed straight for KFC for tea. No way I was cooking at home after all that nonsense and worry. The worry was that it made such a noise dragging and rattling other exhaust that I thought the exhaust system was hanging off. That would have been big bucks. 🤔🙄 Glad you got it sorted and continued your Anglesey leg. 👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The RAC membership proved a wise move that day. At the moment we are relying on the free Nissan break down cover. Glad I didn’t need to use it though as they would probably just towed me to the nearest Nissan dealership. 👍

Cool

[@OldBaron5664]

The cheap plastic item is a splash guard standard on most Nissan's it is basically there to prevent water from minor puddles getting into the engine, until recently they used to be made of steel and able to withstand minor knocks looking at the video the only option is replace the whole part as the hole for the bolt is completely destroyed. As someone else said carry duck tape and various sizes of cable ties one thing that worried me a little was even though your ramps are shallow you did not have a set of wheel chocks to put behind the rear wheels Amazon do a small set that would do your van nicely otherwise carol might be checking your life insurance

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the info and tips Mark. Carol told me we didn’t need chocks so I think you might be right 😁👍

[@LFC_since1970]

Just a thought… did you know that you can use your Apple Watch as a Remote viewer for your iPhone? That might help with framing difficult shots like those under vehicle shots. I remember going over a tree stump in a woodland car park and puncturing my petrol tank… that was in 1987… lol… in my Mini Metro.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That sounds an expensive event. Did you manage to limp home or did it need a tow? I was aware the watch could be used but had forgotten that ages ago. It would have been very useful that day and I would have been able to use the front facing lens. The thing that annoys me about Apple is the standard camera that is the quickest to operate still doesn’t support 25 frames per second which is the UK standard for avoiding flickering lights. I have to use the Filmic Pro app but Apple don’t allow you to set that as the main camera app. It’s almost like Apple just want to suck money out of us and not meet customer needs. Your comment has me thinking though if my watch works with Filmic Pro. I wouldn’t be surprised if it now does 👍

[@LFC_since1970]

@@LifeistooshortCK I think it has its own Apple Watch app… it is a great product. Apple can be frustrating but I would never turn to anything else (based on my specialist professional experience)

[@LFC_since1970]

@@LifeistooshortCK I didn’t realise it had caused a leak but in the end I needed a tow… I was a pretty useless 17 year old and it cost over £500 all in …. At the time I was living on my own whilst still in 6th form… it was a bit of a nightmare.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Your bum can get numb on longer trips and we have additional seat cushions for that. Its not a great ride and I would not want to pull very long distances in it.

[@Cabby1952]

Not specifically related to the subject of the video. I was wondering about your thoughts of a bill going through Parliament which would criminalise wild camping with the threat of heavy fines and vehicle confiscation. Sounds to me its akin to the National Security law that has been imposed on Hong Kong by the Chinese Government. Hope your van is fixed soon so you can make more travel videos. M

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Michael Davies I am aware of the proposed legislation that could impact wild camping and I have signed the petition against that aspect. The big word here though is COULD. The government have an 80 seat majority so its likely that we will all get to see what actually happens if it becomes law. If it’s the police that will be enforcing it then I am pretty sure people will be warned to move on first. Anyone who refuses will find harsher methods follow for repeated refusal. If it’s private companies enforcing it then all bets are off as they are only interested in money. We will continue to wild camp and adapt accordingly. We will never argue with the police or any landowner though as that can only provide grounds for using the harsher powers that might be available. Let’s not forget the Conservatives cut 20,000 police and at the moment they are rushed off their feet. Wild camping will not be high on their priority list at the moment. Time will tell what happens. Today I don’t think this is aimed at the one nighters. This has groups and long stays in their sights and people who cause a nuisance.

Loving the ethos of "never let a crisis go to waste". did my first wild camp this weekend in cumbria thanks to you chaps and getawaygeese. sunday nights park up was superb about 15 feet from the high tide mark.

If it’s the police that will be enforcing it then I am pretty sure people will be warned to move on first. Anyone who refuses will find harsher methods follow for repeated refusal. If it’s private companies enforcing it then all bets are off as they are only interested in money. We will continue to wild camp and adapt accordingly. We will never argue with the police or any landowner though as that can only provide grounds for using the harsher powers that might be available. Let’s not forget the Conservatives cut 20,000 police and at the moment they are rushed off their feet. Wild camping will not be high on their priority list at the moment. Time will tell what happens. Today I don’t think this is aimed at the one nighters. This has groups and long stays in their sights and people who cause a nuisance.

@@LifeistooshortCK Thank you for your reply. I am glad that you knew. I watch your channel avidly and just wanted to make sure that you were ok when I read this today. As you say in your videos you do follow your overnight stay within the letter of the law. On a completely different subject I used your idea when packing the caravan using the packing cubes. Off we went and stopped at Grantham for a tea break 170 miles from home when my daughter rang to say I had gone without all my wash items and medication every thing I should’ve taken. But least I had very well organised clothes cubes whoops 😬!!! Enjoy your travels and have lots of fun. Kind regards

Hello Ken, did you ever work in Kosovo police school?

Hi Edina. Not me 👍

[@jamesgrindon8560]

I see the government are clamping on wild camping unfortunately

Its a worry. I have signed the petition against it but then again I don’t really think I am in the target group as I would always move if asked by someone with authority. Its aimed at those who refuse.
