Cold Fall Day Vanlife Camping (New York)

In this video, I’ll take you to one of my favorite campsites in upstate New York and show you what solo van life camping looks like. Whenever I need a break from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, I come here-it's only a two-hour drive from the city.
This time, I stayed for two nights in my self-converted Sprinter camper van and cooked two delicious van life low carb meals. The first night's dinner was planned, while the second night’s meal was made with whatever I had in the fridge, and it turned out delicious!
Even though it was raining, I finally got a chance to enjoy my campfire. This campsite has a total of eight sites, and I really love Site #8 because it’s separate from the rest.

The care and attention this man puts into everything he does is astounding (filming, editing, cooking, van build, etc). You can tell he lives his life thoughtfull. It's a beautiful thing to see ❤

So relaxing and peaceful. I appreciate how mindful you are in everything you do. I enjoy watching your efficiency too, and how clean you keep everything. Thanks for taking us camping.

[@sherpamaan]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words.

When I watch his videos, my blood pressure drops. Sometimes I fall asleep and simply rewind and watch again! Lovely campsite, hard to believe it would be so quiet and peaceful "near" the Big Apple.

You could tell this guy is a chef/cook

[@oddanneout]

You need to watch his van build and then decide. He has no limits!!! ❤

[@Simplysherpa]

Your videos are for sure always very relaxing and peaceful to watch.

[@sherpamaan]

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate your support.

Kia ora & greetings from NZ🇳🇿 Love me some fire pit, yet the stench on clothes, is a pain in the posterior. Dang! That 2nd cook up looked amazing. "Keep on keeping on!"

[@sadafneiman8531]

Maybe you can also include what ingredients you’re using in your cooking. Looks amazing. Btw, love your video. Please keep it coming 😊

[@sherpamaan]

Thanks, I will try to remember to do that in the future.

I personally did road life on the East Coast. It was super Duper depressing, granted depression can hit anywhere for various reasons, but coming out to the West Coast and just traveling and exploring, made all the difference and I’ve learned that personally for me living on the road and on the West Coast is a lot easier and you have a lot more places to camp out and you get to be in the sun majority of the time

[@sherpamaan]

I really appreciate your comment. I completely understand where you're coming from as I've experienced the same situation myself. Being an introvert, it can be tough, but creating videos has been a great way to keep myself occupied and fulfilled. You're absolutely correct about the West Coast being more welcoming to travelers, and the sunny weather is definitely an added bonus.

​I get it! I'm also an introvert @@sherpamaan but I'm also an empath.

[@sherpamaan]

Hey Austin, this is the Carote 11-piece granite cookware set in Jet Black from Amazon.

[@sherpamaan]

It is on a great black Friday deal right now.

[@austinc5103]

​@@sherpamaan Thank you! I'll look into it!

[@TheFrank2368]

How much was the van?

[@sherpamaan]

I bought the van before the pandemic so I paid a little over 20k.

[@bassmonk2920]

Big meal...

[@sherpamaan]

Thank you so much for your comment! I've been eagerly anticipating it. I follow a one meal a day routine, so I aim to consume a large meal that is high in fat and low in carbs.

[@princerains9143]

Don't understand why you threw trash in the firepit ?

[@sherpamaan]

If you notice I threw only organic food waste that burns so it doesn’t smell in my house that is the size of a standard bathroom.

[@SpoonFed90s]

Is thre a zombie there ?😅
