Finally. A stealth camp in Sammy. 👍

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

Good to see you out in Sammy mate. I think you should go on a selling spree and just work like anything to get Sammy back on the road. You were out camping in all weathers when you had her on the road. Every Friday night. If you want it enough you’ll make it happen.

[@ScudoCamper]

Unfortunately most aren't buying at the moment. 😕

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

Yes they are, I sold a ton of stuff to get the Quest 3, it all sold just fine. You have to sell the right stuff at the right price and it’ll go. Only list when it’s the low seller fees 80% off. When that’s on I put a load of dummy auctions up charging £1000 for everything so nobody buys, then as and when I find something to sell I change the auction details. I really wanted that Quest 3 and within two weeks had the money to get it. You can do it mate, you just have to want it enough. Sammy shouldn’t be sat on the drive rusting away again. Not after all your work on her mate.

Austin Glad to see you back in the van. Looks like its been raining there too. We did a 3 night camp in November and it was -2 and the heater wouldnt start! Totally agree about the cost of living. Love watching your refurbishment videos and your camping videos. Will be interested to see your new camping stove . Take care Matey xx

Ps I use a £18 Apeman 4k action camera. Powerdirector app on phone for editing. I don't own a computer, laptop or tablet. Doesn't stop me doing videos. So don't understand why people need all this kit. George

[@ScudoCamper]

Still got my apeman to mate cracking camera.

[@mischef18]

Good to see the inside of Sammy again bro. Safe travels. Ken.

[@akaski777]

A nice honest channel sticks to one theme rather than out to make money

[@roryconroy3701]

[@ScudoCamper]

[@sueb8270]

[@GreyMannShed]

SAMMY! Whooooop 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great to see you back in Sammy, even just on the drive. I could see how happy it made you 😊 Fingers crossed she'll be back on the road in due course. In the meantime, I for one would be happy to see vlogs from the drive or from very cold tents if you get out this winter FYI, the air turned blue when you said how much the road tax was😮😮😮😮 Cheers Ben

[@ScudoCamper]

It's horrendous the price nowadays. 😳

[@GreyMannShed]

@@ScudoCamper as you say, you're penalized for making things last instead of "buy buy buy" over and over again

[@FantasyCheeseBasin-FCB]

You're brill , keep doing stuff , keep being you , happy days

[@ScudoCamper]

Thank you! Will do! 😜

[@highwatercircutrider]

[@Dstew57A]

Nice to see a video from ya mate…wish I had the means to camp like this but I don’t so will just enjoy your videos, thanks Mate!

[@ScudoCamper]

Thanks 👍

[@dave1secondago]

ever thought of getting a tax/mot exempt vehicle , i got a yam v80 tax mot exempt , maybe a van would be perfect with no tax or mot too pay , guess they wont be cheap just a thought though

[@ScudoCamper]

Only another 10 years to go for Sammy. 😜

[@maffosweetyify]

Yes 👏 great to see you back in the van buddy 🚐

[@ScudoCamper]

Thanks 👍

[@GusliMike]

Yay! By the Forest of Dean lives a nice camping guy the Wandering Forester.

[@ScudoCamper]

I have a look mate. 😜

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Yep about time too. Don't get blown away in this wind. 😂George

[@emma-kp8vz]

Old = retro. Retro = stylish.

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Just to keep me busy. Making simple camping stoves during the storms. Have a go yourself. George

[@ScudoCamper]

Sounds great!

[@terrydewdney207]

You need to do more logs like your humour👍

[@anthonylangford7797]

Take care in this crappy weather mate!

[@ScudoCamper]

Thank you, I will. 😊

[@compostcorner5934]

Hello Austin good to see you 😁. Iv had a few stealths in the last few months,only for a few days .pretty cold but ok with plenty of layers on in bed . My van is an 03 plate vauxhall astra van,small but does the job ok for solo camping. Fortunately insurance is fairly cheap, although tax is a bit steep . But im totally with you on the cost of living its bloody hard work staying afloat. Are you still working on the bikes? and hows your well being ? this time of year is the worst ,but we are heading towards better weather . take care mate

[@compostcorner5934]

Iv not done much either mate really,it's hard to get motivated. Although I did push myself to change the rear brake pads on the wife's car (only because I heard a grinding metal to metal noise when braking) yes they were pretty knackered lol And replaced the cambelt on the van which was way over due . That's all iv done in about 8 months lol

[@ScudoCamper]

Yeah same here mate. Just doing the essentials not feeling the drive to do much else. Need some camps to get the motivation again. 🤔

[@compostcorner5934]

@@ScudoCamper . That's what you need mate . Have the van ready and just jump in and go when you feel like it .👍

[@thelifeofsims5023]

Happy New Year Mate

[@ScudoCamper]

You too. 😜

[@Conflictofinterest902]

Firemaple ? I was considering buying a firemaple in style of the jet boil but I’ve heard they boil too fast, so good for liquids but not so good for heating food through Edit, when I say boil too fast, I mean both the jetboil AND the firemaple. I like porridge and heard that it boils too fast (thought I’d explain lol- if you find them good then it’d be great if you could do a review)

[@ScudoCamper]

I will do a vid when I get chance. 😜

[@NeathVideos]

Let’s all PayPal Austin a few quid guys,let’s get sammy out in a stealth by March/April Thumbs up if you are willing to help out

[@ScudoCamper]

Thanks mate. 😜 I will be out probably in a tent though. 😜😆

[@EA-58]

Hey thats nice Austin....ehhh how about the upcomming storm ?? 😅🤓

[@ScudoCamper]

Bit blowey for camping. 😜

[@EA-58]

😄

[@everydaysabonus]

Hi Austin Been watching you a long time now since we bought our scudo nuventure Rio Motorhome, wish I could afford to send you £350 for a new graphics card buddy, you deserve one to start chucking out some vids again 👍👍someone please read this and buy him one 👍

[@ScudoCamper]

Lol thanks matey. 😜

[@everydaysabonus]

@@ScudoCamper all the best Austin 👍

[@offbeatwarble]

Good to see the van, how have your rust repairs held up with the acid treatment and all the welding you did in the rear end? You're right on getting penalised for having old stuff, sad state of affairs, make do and mend mentality is gone, those that can afford a Tesla can afford increased tax, those with an old transit can't!

[@ScudoCamper]

Very true mate. It's the land for the numbtie nowadays I'm affaid. 😞
