Truck Camping at the "Impossible" Camping Spot | Homemade Pizza and My First Day Whitewater Kayaking

Spring is here, but it's still freezing in Alaska. This is the coldest start to summer I can remember since I moved to Alaska over 20 years ago. In this video, I'll take you camping in one of my favorite camping spots in the truck house that is almost always taken, bake a homemade pizza in front of the wood stove, and take you whitewater kayaking for my first run of the season down the infamous SIx Mile Creek 2nd and 3rd canyons (class IV/V)...

Morning Tim! Be watching you! Love Mom 💘😎

[@williamkemm673]

Living my dream my friend, I'm too old at 65 now to do what you're doing but I am moving back up to the greatland after a 10 year absence, I love the rig and I appreciate the $ you put into it to get you there, and back!

[@timbering4744]

PIZZA TIP: Sauce the dough, put it in the oven until the crust just starts to think about turning brown on the edges (8 min +or--). Take out of the oven and put on your toppings then back in until done. This helps get the dough done about the same time the toppings get done. Another great video!

[@michelairolo]

Yes , this is the best way , I agree

[@blueman5924]

And try the garlic/Alfredo sauce. it doesn’t overpower the toppings like tomato can.

[@cathyoflanagan4284]

Ty for the tip I'm going to try this tomorrow😊

[@divye.ruhela]

Do what this guy says.

[@RowanRJ73]

I need to remember this tip!

[@gaynel618]

The pizza looked super delicious. The kayaking looked ice cold. And, of course, you had to make those yummy cookies. What lovely smells in the Truck House. Thanks for a great adventure.

[@wendellsuiter7869]

Pecan Turtle Delight oh my!

[@ejej6934]

I used to be a volunteer for the 6 Mile Creek annual whitewater & bluegrass festival. My job was to throw a rescue bag to anyone who was flipped out of their kayak. I was happy I never had to actually throw the bag, to be honest.

[@tsbamc09]

You should consider making one of those white noise videos with the 7.3 powerstroke and a black background. Like record 20 mins of idling and loop it for multiple hours. Make a video and put the audio on spotify or something. Keep up the great work, love your videos.

[@user-ej8uh3lb9o]

That 7.3 sure sounds sweet 😊

[@Solokayaker888]

GROOVY! I have a Dagger code and a Jackson Zen3 thanks for the share. I grew up in Seldovia Alaska 60s -70s in a logging camp at Jakolof Bay. live in Oregon now, miss Alaska.

[@jeffbaca1173]

Pizza tip; the best way to cut up pizza without a sturdy cutting board, scissors. Your postings are always edited masterfully.

[@gregsobek722]

You just knew when that oven came on the cookie's were coming out 😂

[@noelgeorgette3150]

As an Italian-American close to her roots, I think I might have a pizza tip for you: meat BEFORE the cheese; that way your pepperoni won't dry out. I make pizza from scratch and use tips I got on my trips to Italy.

[@carriemainquist757]

I get such a kick out of you laughing as your paddling. Truly loving it and having a good time.

[@btinsen]

When reversing, always has the windows open. If you are dragging anything or someone is yelling, you will hear it. Truck driver wisdom.

[@mikeingalsbee2959]

I make garlic bread pizza. Get a loaf of fresh french bread. Cut in half. Spread tons of butter on it and sprinkle with non-salt garlic herb seasoning. Put under the broiler until the top starts to brown. Then spread spaghetti sauce (I like Newman's own because it's not loaded with sugar). Put on a ton of cheese and the toppings you want. Put it back in the oven but this time on bake. When the pepperoni is all crispy it's ready. SO GOOD!

[@deniseferron3397]

Here in Quebec, the cheese always goes on top of the other toppings. It strikes me as very strange to do otherwise. Give me brown crispy cheese any day!

[@80bbygrl]

Oh my God I'm so hungry right now and that pizza looks amazing LOL

[@bboop1964]

Pizza looked amazing! Love making home made. Very cool being in your seat with you on the river. That water had to be extreme cold! Thanks for the adventure!

[@ramprashad29]

Greetings from NY. It’s 7:30am on a lovely Saturday morning. I am laying in my bed watching your vid. The pizza looks fantastic good job and those cookies it’s like you are married to them you two can’t be separated. Thank you for the kayaking trip without me getting out the front door you keep doing all the hard work hun 😁

[@SpyderWoman7]

I watched during my lunch break at work. Pizza looked great to me! The cookies, too. Sat outside for lunch but not by a river😢

[@jerradgindle]

I absolutely love the serenity of your videos where there is no talking.. just doing!

[@markbrennan8392]

Fire starter and a blow torch .. no wonder you couldn't light a fire to save yer life. Yup saw the epic fail and ya'll outta practice with old man's beard and dry kindling collecting every chance you get!! Just givin ya the gears Bro really enjoy the channel and yer adventures and the epic camp spots you find. Pizza looked damn good 😀

[@quarteracreadventures855]

I'm home sick from work today, and your enjoyable video helped me feel a little bit better. Thank you.

[@ordinarypete]

That’d be a lovely place to just park and stay. I could wake up to that everyday. Also, that pizza looked awesome. One baby tip: when you toss it, use the top of your hands and the tips of your knuckles to toss it. You pop your wrists. Buuuut with that said, yours* looked so good. *had to edit the word, my autocorrect had it as “you’re”

[@debbiec.1564]

This spot has a beautiful sunset. What a beautiful picturesque place. How lucky you are. That pizza looks fabulous!

[@Jrocc811]

I freaking love this dudes fireplace setup.

[@patriot1303]

I loved watching the shots of the truck and the wilderness outside - very peaceful

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you!

[@arlenefrancis2791]

Delicious looking pizza! Awesome white water ride! 👍👍

[@CTMadModz]

hello fellow youtuber, thanks for the shout out and cameo appearance 🤣awesome video dude.

[@lesabre1972]

The white water kayaking is so captivating.

[@user-nf5kf2pj9d]

Природа замечательная, виды изумительные❤

[@Ukeyyy]

Супер 🔝 особенно 🏡 домик!!!❤

[@karenr67]

What a blast on the rapids. Felt like I was riding with you. I caught myself swaying in my chair. The pizza looked good. I would have put more on top too.

[@lysemonet3324]

My goodness if I could just transport myself there soo serene! Aww 🥰 likea breath of fresh air! don’t take any of this for granted it’s a blessing to live this way.

[@Eric_Broome]

When do we start to get to see videos about the new cabin? Super excited for the project

[@bonniemyhill7244]

Tillamook best cheese! Love the Kenai Peninsula! Our family loves the Homer area.

[@benc1610]

There is always time for a Truck House Life video...Good stuff - keep it up, Timmy!

[@timdappen4775]

I don't kayak, but I enjoy your kayak season. Some of the best videos on youtube!

[@SadiaShahdiehard]

Ey man plz help me I'm very poor plz help me 😢❤❤😢😢😢

[@consultrogers5676]

Love your videos. Say I use kitchen scissors to ‘cut’ pizza. Really easy

[@BrLambert]

I had a slice just looking at it, it looked wonderful. Beautiful scenery down the rapids

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

First let me tell ya that pizza 🍕 looked amazing I could almost taste it 😅lol and those cookies 😋 yum ..and that water ride you took us so thrilling you guys are freaking awesome thank for taking us along until your next adventure stay safe stay healthy stay strong ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[@AlaborJinta]

guess what. you can make homemade pizza too...

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

@@AlaborJinta I know I have 🙂

[@idriveanagerar]

For best pizza dough, I have used advice from what Ooni recommended. If you like rolling, roll the dough, if you like tossing it, toss the pizza. I have had better luck holding it like a steering wheel and rotating my hands around the outside edge of the dough, letting gravity do the stretching for you. It also makes it incredibly easier having room temprature dough, and you can leave it out at room temp for almost all day. I usually do that, and then the dough is much easier to stretch out and form to your pan or etc. Detroit style pan pizzas may be easier to cook with your oven setup. Still the best way to cook better pizzas is to make them more often 😊 , it leads to more delicious results. I absolutely love your content in the truck, thank you for all your hard work.

[@andrewjohn4755]

yumm! the best pizza i have seen... pepperoni n cheese! i also like the biscuits that you bake... neat baking skill Timmy!! thanks for sharing

[@MrSTOUT73]

Pizza looks fabulous!!!

[@Wanna.Wander]

Such a cool house! I want one similar to this, already did the SUV, A class, C class and a van that I couldn’t stand up in. I just wanna be able to stand up in my rig being fulltime, it’s definitely been hard on my neck not being able to. I love you’re fun pizza party💜 subbed and following

[@turtlepamplemousse5571]

Vraiment sympa cette petite descente en eauxen eaux vives ! Merci pour la balade, et la pizza avait l’air vraiment délicieuse ! 👍🐢🙏

[@curtismcmullen2124]

I wouldn’t change your pizza making skills at all. You made it and it sure does look tasty.

[@The1RandomFool]

To spice up the pizza and add a little more flavor, I would recommend putting some dried red pepper and even some Cajun seasoning on it before cooking it. That way it bakes into the cheese and sauce.

[@SweetTone76]

All you needed to do was sprinkle a little bit of parmesan asiago cheese before the mozzarella. Then sprinkle some red chili flakes, chopped pepperchinis, after you sliced it, and dip it in some ranch.

[@JB50713]

What a spot! A view of the mountains or a view of the water, take your pick.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed as always, looks like Max didn't steer you wrong on pizza dough, and with your culinary skills, pizza looked awesome, along with cookies now the second pizza should taste better, after kayaking trip😊

[@shawneeb3771]

My favorite food is pizza you did a great job at making it. I think I held my breath that entire Kayak trip, I love to Kayak, but on more calmer waters. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@leapinlizard9487]

Love how you start your wood stove, no need for any stink'n matches or ferro rod!

[@toadstooltarot]

Love your cozy 'shack on your back'. I think I could happily live there. The pizza looks good too. I'd recommend sprinkling some herbs & spices on there. I like garlic on mine, or something salty like green olives or crispy bacon.

[@earndoggy]

It's been YEARS since I've been on white water. I have never kayaked but have rafted and canoed. It is the most fun!

[@underthetornado]

I'm amazed no bears come around for all the great food you cook?😂❤

[@user-wg3qf7nd7p]

That kayaking looked pretty exciting. I’d love a video from you about what’s involved in prepping for a trip down the river, what you wear, how you can navigate it, how long you’ve done this, etc…it’s really interesting

[@mikewayne4407]

Great video! Those rapids were wild!

[@geauxgrl6464]

Wowza! What a ride. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@abbyechevarria5322]

That looks like so much fun. Wow.!😊

[@lesabre1972]

yes, it does look awesome!!

[@janevalentine6391]

The pizza looked delicious. The river was incredibly beautiful and wow, what a ride. Really enjoy your videos.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks Jane!

[@monamajor4913]

Great location, pizza look fabulous lots pepperoni 👍 wild kayaking, bet was fun I always wanted to do but now I have spine issues so that’s out. Always love your video’s

[@Grammy_Indyof2]

I really enjoyed your river trip. Thanks for taking me along on the ride.

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

WOW I got an adrenaline rush watching y'all kyaking. Sure sped up my heart rate💓

[@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures]

Awesome!!! Timmy, can you please do a “truck camper guide to Alaska” video? Mine is almost finished and I’m not entirely sure where all I can and can’t go that is safe and accessible. I’m in Palmer. Slipper lake in Sutton is a start but you go so many amazing places often right off the main roads. That is the Alaska I want to see in person.

[@silvermonk13]

The only thing I would change with the pizza. I personally separate my cheese layers. Dough, sauce, cheese, rest of toppings, final layer of cheese. I do that so my topping choices are incased in cheese. Otherwise awesome looking pizza

[@sandrahawkins7515]

Beautiful! My brother lived there for years!

[@dean4558]

You never dissapoint with the beautiful scenery 😍🔥👍🙂

[@peggysturgess8498]

Pizza & cookies 👀 real yummy 😋. White watering 👀 fun too. Safe travels ✝️🙏🏼🛐

[@lindadrugan9538]

Your pizza episodes make me hungry. I put my dough in the heated oven for about fives minutes then take out and put toppings on. Also, cornmeal on the pan is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, camping around Alaska is on our bucket list, in the meantime, we live vicariously through you😁

[@byrdlm1]

I really enjoy your videos. Saw stuffed Poblanos being cooked and decided to try making some. Everyone here loved them! Thanks for the idea.

[@Racer-M]

THIS DUDE MAKES COOKIES ALL THE TIME.. WHAT A CHAMP.

Beautiful scenery!! Your camp site was so beautiful!!💚

That cabin is beautiful 🤩 perfect little slice of heaven 😊

[@sudebchatterjee1022]

Wow Wow Wow... lovely!

[@MBMCincy63]

6/5/23 I was under the impression that Alaska and other polar / Artic areas had 24 hour sunlight during the spring summer? I watch another channel that is based in Svalbard and that is what she was saying. I really like the truck cabin and I am glad I found your Channel. Thanks. And the pizzas looked yummy!

[@TruckHouseLife]

pretty much is, stays light all night now, never truly gets dark

Pizza, cookies, and....VIEW!

You are amazing. I hope your Mom and Dad are very proud of you. I would adopt you:)

[@bonniejohnson2383]

@Mochi Thanks for your kindness. We sure are proud!

[@chatty_cathie6391]

What a view! Beautiful spot. White water rafting exhilarating, yes. But looking COLD. Like that your videos show nature as it is meant to be. Must say, something about your little mailbox makes me LOL whenever I notice it. Not sure why. Maybe because it symbolizes you are truly at home in your truck. Maybe that is what makes your videos so genuine. Stay safe and have fun.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you Cathie:)

[@elishiamariewilson8289]

Looks so good. Enjoy

[@TXrapidracer]

used to buy that paper you made your pizza on until my wife found this stuff that looks like its made from carbon fiber and it copper colored. You reuse it as many times as you like and as soon as you pull it out of the oven or off of a grill it instantly cools off and you can grab it with your bare hands. I wash it immediately, fold it, and put it up until I need it again, I wished I knew where my wife bought it from. I will find out and send you a roll if I can get a p.o box. We love your content

[@eltonlawrence2151]

Man I love your channel keep driving on! I must add that you favor Glenn from life below zero! I just started watching your channel and I thought you were him.

[@samhill3496]

Wow! Timmy, Beautiful spot. Reminds me of the coast of Iceland Good vid man. Pizzas look great. More sauce, freeze them and mail order.

[@jerryroe1438]

I admire your style and love that camper truck . Have fun with it

[@spencerharvey743]

Took a little puff and I feel like I am there with you 😂 can almost taste the pizza!!!

Thanks for the ride along down the river! 🥾🏔🇨🇦❤️

[@bonniejackson1321]

I put olive oil on the crust, put it in the oven until it just starts turning brown THEN put the sauce and toppings on it. wicked kayaking, wowzers
