Love the Ooni pizza ovens. Tried one out at a friend's in Finland last summer & had my eye on one myself ever since. Fun fact.. Ooni ovens were developed by a Finnish guy & his wife in Scotland & originally called Uuni (the Finnish word for oven). The rest of the world couldn't pronounce it correctly so it was changed to Ooni (how Uuni is pronounced phonetically in English). Now the Finns mispronounce it with the new spelling 😂

[@harryprobert4271]

Love it Alex you should bring some fishing content into your videos when you do camping in the van 👌🏻

[@jenniferharman5139]

Very nice oven and really lovely boxes. The only downside is designed in Scotland, but not made there. Happens here in Australia, so I save money by not buying stuff. Works for me!

[@jasmijnariel]

Cant wait to see the first forest pizza! Wild garlic, forraged mushrooms, some nuts or roots on it as well

[@MrDabrain75]

I don't remember how the youtube algorithm ever pointed me in your direction. But it's been fun to go back and watch some of the older videos, and then catchup and see you still developing. A traveling pizza outdoorsman. Also your editing gets better everytime. I think your getting better at realizing how you can show off a long process with a few quick clips. Keep it up Alex! I'm so excited to see you cooking pizzas on the water side.

[@just_alex]

Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate your comment. :)

[@OldBenjaminKenobi]

290 quid on a pizza oven and you’re van is still bare bones? Mate you’ve gotta get your priorities sorted. Get that van fitted out for the road asap! Loved the vid, keep ‘em comin

[@tomdennis1153]

He's got the cart before the horse lol,makes me smile though😊

[@StephanieCoyne]

Its a sponsored video 😂

[@DonnyLad]

Mental following you both on YT since 2015!! Glad you're doing your own thing. Hope to see you both fishing together soon! Goodluck mate.

[@leestannard3345]

Had the same oven as you’ve got there for the last few months. Takes a little getting used to, but it’s a fantastic piece of kit. So many more things you cook beside pizza in it. Try steaks on a skillet with it.

[@gcarpmad]

keep them rolling off Alex. love the way u r keeping us all updated with every little step.

[@benyoung5092]

Thanks for sharing another slice of your life with us!

[@gordonmculloch4904]

The oven looks really great. Look forward to seeing you using it. Diversity in you videos, including unboxing, gives them more appeal. 👍

[@just_alex]

Thanks.

[@albertomendozaupham3393]

You are not the only one happy one about it. Dreams and goals keep it up you amazing 😻 man. Love what you do!

[@just_alex]

Cheers!

[@rhino5419]

Hi Alex. As a knife collector i was impressed to see how sharp you keep your SAK. I have several and they are in general à very underestimated piece of kit. May i suggest you watch some youtube vids by Félix Immler. You will be surprised what he does with just that little knife. All the best mate.

[@michaelhope7482]

yet again another interesting film ,look at all the packaging. i bet your parents recycling bin is full...Ha ha ha. looking forward to the next one

[@glenna3434]

The best unboxing videos involve a box inside of another box with lots of individual boxes inside that box, so you win! Well done.

[@s-c..]

I don’t know who you are but I think you probably came my way because of your veggie garden, but as a middle aged bird in Australia I’m surprised how of my interests you’ve covered - mushrooms, bees, van camping, rural cabins… now the exact Ooni I’ve been planning to buy. Kind of freaky. By the way, by far the best unboxing of the few I’ve seen. A good amount of unrelated storytelling & a healthy lack of deference to the subject matter. A perfect 5 out of 7.

[@marcust5014]

You just keep producing interesting and informative vids Alex keep up the good work can't wait for next vid 💯👍

[@ryancorner4739]

Favorite channel on KZbin. Always look forward to your uploads, Alex!

[@antonybaker8531]

morning Alex thank you 4 for a great video on a cold wet Monday morning loving watching your journey can not wait for the next chapter 👍👍👍

[@jamesjimb]

Just keep the content coming mate. Always enjoy your videos, whatever it is 👍

[@holty2604]

What a great bit of kit, pizzas on the bank yum 🤤🤤

[@potatofrappe]

The thing that makes unboxing channels really good is that they open things very deliberately and slowly and it causes lots of nice crunchy ASMR sounds. Love the new pizza oven! I cannot wait to see your first wild forgeable pizza made in the VAN. I wonder how you'll make pizza dough IN THE FOREST, I am very excited.

[@marti118118]

Great unboxing video I’d happily watch another.

[@just_alex]

Thanks!

[@terryfletcher6465]

Nice visiting with you Alex 😊

[@Ror0009]

Alex is one of the funniest people alive

[@mscudde2]

Can't wait to see you cook the first pizza!

[@ETYSURF]

Alex these videos are amazing please to not stop!

[@heathrowism]

Brilliant,❤️ it 🙌 ! Just bought an Ooni Karu 16 . Great ovens even better when you make your own dough and easy to do just a bit of a long process with the waiting but worth plus you can freeze the dough . Keep the videos coming 👍

[@ransi_07]

Wooohooooo less go another vid!!!

[@hiseitz]

I enjoy everything you put on. Your personality and sense of humor make your videos super watchable!

[@just_alex]

Thank you.

[@denijkerksetreinspotter]

4:05 this is basically why I am here, watching all of Alex' video's 😂

[@pasarea999]

Definitely do more that was hilarious and also now I need one too lol

[@mobydyson9580]

I would watch three or four times if that counted towards 1 million views. It would be fun to watch you unboxed other things.

[@jonjonescarper]

Awesome, Alex. Good luck with your travels and Pizzas. 🔥🍻🍕

[@philipwray8722]

Every video is a banger! 🤣 Keep up the good work mate 👍👍🐝🐝🐝

[@neromaster8730]

the pizza oven looks like a great thing to have, I realy love the idea to just make pizza outdoors like this

[@Bluemerleoutdoors]

looks awsome love your videos can't wait see your trip of Europe videos

[@albiewilliams6830]

Great looking bit of kit that and an entertaining watch keep them coming

[@just_alex]

Thanks!

[@callumnoblett4905]

Never mind the pizza oven it's the hat I'm impressed by. Got to know Alex, is it a Tilley hat. Rain or shine I have mine on me head. Used to come with a lifetime guarantee .. I had one replaced... That I got second hand so that was a result. P. S was pretty impressed by the pizza oven bit too if I'm being honest. Happy pizza toppings on your travels. Big respect. Cal

[@thewheeldan6598]

Alex your content quality just gets better each video you make. Keep up the good work pal

[@terryblush]

Hey Alex. Great review of the pizza oven. I may actually get one in the future. Happy travels and eat well 👍

[@jaa7286]

Box opening is nice, and you know I've had an idea on what charcoal consist of but never how it's properly made. Nice two for one vid Alex, cheers to infinite pizzas and beyond

[@davehyooz4764]

I have that laser thermometer and did exactly the same … still do in fact. Great fun and sometimes surprising 🤣

[@alimackenzie2168]

I used to work in a bar that had a 12 pizza oven, 60 pizzas a night was a hard shift. all the pizzas needed 3 mins each but they also had to be rotated. 6 on top 6 bellow every pizza spent the same amount of time in every part of the oven. while the 12 pizzas were in the other 12 were being made

[@annys_fishtanks7770]

Hello from Texas!

[@bradh2066]

For the ambitions and goals you have mate you deffo should of invested in a bigger van. Good luck in your journey

[@tomdennis1153]

For travelling in your van you would of been better off buying a Cobb oven/cooker,(look them up),cook literally anything in them,just thinking of room in your new van,the next buys will be a tow bar and a trailer for all your stuff lol😆,what ever makes you happy Alex,top lad😀👍

[@wildthinair]

Your subs are going to go up a lot . Great video

Hi Alex the pizza lakeside road trip sounds great, I bet your Carp rods are missing you & maybe you could take them with you ; )

Man now I need a pizza oven. Always wanted one, but never had the space. I'm building a camper currently, similar to yours (transit connect lwb), so maybe I can find some room in both the budget and van for one haha
