Cooking in a TINY Van | VAN LIFE VLOG

I cook myself up a traditional trucker style meal while living out on the road. A viewer who is a lorry driver himself sent me a recipe to try out and i was surprised at the result!

Check out my title on KZbin, for eating without washing up. Oddly enough I ate same thing as you couple of nights ago. Check out at supermarkets Princess Creamy Chicken goes very well with spuds veg and mushrooms.

Absolutely shameless self-promotion. In a nice way 😜

[@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957]

@@SocksWithSandals need my videos promoting some how.

[@clivenewton7609]

Ha, Ha, Ha😂 that hook like implement you stabbed the tin with was in fact your tin opener!! The other one was the bottle opener!! Stay safe out there and I’m already looking forward to the next adventure! Regards from deepest Dorset 👍

[@Nomadickangoo]

It didn't come with Instructions 🤣🤣🤣

[@jayookay4475]

Looks like Irish stew.. excellent.. Good to see you back..

[@Nomadickangoo]

Had that stew vibe for sure ☺️

[@jodiethackway4588]

You are hilarious! This is the most entertaining van life channel 🤣 the shots you take are amazing, you’re very talented 👏

[@SocksWithSandals]

Dude, keep a few weeks' storable food that you enjoy like that incase the government turns nasty on us again.

[@Nomadickangoo]

'when'

[@peakyparttimers9362]

I had something very similar last weekend on my camping weekend with the van. Tin new potatoes, Tin mince beef, and Tin peas. Lovely! Just subscribed to Colin. Nice one😊👍

[@Nomadickangoo]

Nice my peaky!! Just about to watch your latest bootsale video!

[@Watcheswhileeating]

07:44 I nearly died watching you get into that can-with a can opener !Kinda like seeing someone club a fire out with a fire extinguisher 😀

[@tomdytrych]

I know right... I thought the same!

[@Nomadickangoo]

I'll have to KZbin a how to 🤣

[@jannerfox9292]

A quick meal is tin of sardines, small tin of beans and cheese mix together and heat gently, serve on or with bread and butter, a old biker/camp dish.

[@jannerfox9292]

Another great addition for vanlife cooking is a ridge monkey, great bit of kit it is marketed as a sandwich toaster but is also great for fry ups steaks etc, many of KZbin videos on it.

Hi I came across your channel by co incidence while browsing through “living in a van” & i find your channel interesting, would like to share a quick & yet delicious recipe: Baked beans in a can, mixed with minced meat, tomato & onions(sliced into small pieces) while waiting for all the ingredients to cook crack an egg on top of it, and done! Bon Appettite!

[@Nomadickangoo]

This sounds delicious and i will definitely be giving this a go

[@vanlifesueuk5938]

Please buy a fire extinguisher from halfords....

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

Halfrauds?. They are a rip off.

[@tomdytrych]

Middle of Lidl... £9.99

[@Nomadickangoo]

I think I will!

[@mystichare8924]

Spring has Sprung! 👍

[@Nomadickangoo]

I'm feeling the good vibes already

[@colincr64]

Hi I have just watched the video absolutely fantastic I think you gave the dish a bit of justice lol Thanks for mentioning me in the video hopefully it will give me a few more subscribers don’t forget check out the KZbin channel the ultimate breakfast it’s done on a piece of kit call a rich monkey it’s a must Hope to meet up very soon cheers Colin

[@Nomadickangoo]

Cheers for the suggestion Colin! Loved the stew and will be making it again! Hope to meet also 🍺

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

Those are the type of meals I cook in my van. Quick to heat and or microwave rice. No 20 mins plus of steam or gas usage to cook from scratch. That looked well good with the crusty bread.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Glad you liked it! Maybe something for you to try this weekend!

[@paulhollens1519]

Great to sse you back 😄 you said time flies by once you reach 30 lol. Watch it accelerate once you reach 60 😂. Stay safe,Jen and Paul x

[@Nomadickangoo]

Oh lordy! Something to look forward to then!!!

[@paulhollens1519]

@@Nomadickangoo Still feel 18 in the mind lol, but body feels 60 plus 😂x

[@williambennett7611]

Great looked ok, then who cares if your hungry. Try Lidl's tinned hot chicken curry, and microwave rice (done in a pan) ok in an emergency😁.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Sounds delightful ☺️

[@aboutdawntoday]

My old van had house batteries but one day a wire came loose and set some stuff on fire in the front passenger foot well. If a dodgy fire extinguisher hadn't been there the entire van (which was a combo of crappy van plus all of my possessions) would have gone up in smoke. I am now in another van and have 3 fire extinguishers all at a different door. I learned a lot that day, most importantly how to use a fire extinguisher.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Wow sorry that happened to you! Yes I feel I need to invest on a fire extinguisher for sure!

[@N_O_R_R_I_E]

I might have to live out of my small van for work reasons. I've been trying to think of the best ways to wash my hair lol....any tips ? or ideas ?

[@Nomadickangoo]

Well I signed up to a local gym so that's always my go to. I'm pretty fond of a Tesco disabled toilets for a quick 6am sink wash 😂

[@peterconnell8083]

Park closer to the hgv in front , so another one or two can get in behind you..just saying!

[@Nomadickangoo]

Noted.

[@tomdytrych]

I really hope you went out and bought a 50p can opener from Asda straight after this? Great episode though - I really enjoy watching your adventures. I used to eat out all the time when I did van life as it was affordable and more convenient.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Still no can opener I'm afraid! Eat out every day? Could get costly surely?

[@TehHairyFace]

When are you going to do roadside steak and champagne for your 1000 subs

[@Nomadickangoo]

Best idea yet!

[@SuperClare]

Love the near beer Pale Ale! Good on you - cheers from sunny California! 🍻🍻🍻

[@Nomadickangoo]

Cheers from rainy UK 🍻🍻🍻

[@Frankyjoe809]

I can imagine that's nice .. must try.. was quick to cook

[@Nomadickangoo]

I like it 😊

[@connectcapers7614]

One of my frequent meals is Cous cous and mackerel, takes 5 minutes from boiling water to eating.

[@Nomadickangoo]

I think even I have limits 😂😂 I think the mackerel it to far for me 😂😂

[@jjcale1976]

You don't have a knife???

[@Nomadickangoo]

That's not a knife, this is a knife!

[@kgsadventures3627]

Next time you need to open a tin, stick the knife in the side of the tin at the top, and it cuts around easy.👍

[@peterjackson7426]

Looking good👍😊

[@Nomadickangoo]

Plenty left if your interested 😂

[@ilikethischannel5719]

Hello I hope that you are well, I have been thinking about the Citroen Berlingo which I think is like yours, what do you think of putting a really thick rug down on the floor, and then using a really good folding camping chair to sit on, with a good quality camping table, I have a blow up foam mattress, I thought that could just go on the thick rug on the floor with a sleeping bag, kindest regards.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Hey, so you might struggle with the length of the van, I can't lay flat in the back, I had to make and extending bed to maybe up the extra room. So a blow up mattress might not fit length ways. But apart from the size I think it's a great idea to get a van for camping trips!

[@paulevans3754]

I’ll try that one.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Was cracking!

[@plssmith5166]

Step stool cheap to buy but would cooking on it behind the passenger door actually help you. Use as a seat if need be. I sure wouldn't take much room up. Let me know.

[@Nomadickangoo]

What a great idea! I'll look into this cheers!
