Winter Truck Camping in Japan

[@RyanOutdoors-vq9ni]

Currently in hospital getting stemcell transplant to fight off cancer! Nothing better when a mav video pops up! Keep it up brother can't wait to do some winter camping again.

[@h2q8]

I wish you good luck fighting your dragon.

[@vinceianromo3876]

Why aren't we funding stemcell research more?

[@lethalpeanut5555]

Hope you’re doing well brotha

[@jake4030]

Man, nothing makes me more stoked for Mav than to see him traveling through Japan and seeing him be able to ball out and enjoy the fruits of his labour. All achieved through honest, genuine passion and no clickbait BS. Keep on truckin brother!!!

[@Stubhose]

Hes proper dude!

[@Mank159]

you write this every time he uploads..

[@johnlinn]

Always love the fact that whenever Mav gets into a new vehicle it looks like he has lived in it for years.

[@ccfully]

That rental will never be the same 😂

[@scottwynkoop4200]

Hey Mav, I lived in northern Japan (Miyagi Prefecture) for three years. Sapporo is the best nature in all of Japan. And I love that you are cooking Japanese dishes while you are there. In Japanese, instead of Bon Apetit, you say itadakimasu. To help us remember, we jokingly say "Eat a duck we must"!

[@rmp5s]

Isn't it pronounced "sup-or-oh"? You'd probably be one to ask. lol

[@scottwynkoop4200]

@@rmp5s It’s more like sa-po-ro… Japanese is very mono syllabic with no accents on any syllables.

[@rmp5s]

@@scottwynkoop4200 Oh, ok. Got ya.

[@George-nx8zu]

What would you say are the must see sites in that Sapporo area?

[@scottwynkoop4200]

@@George-nx8zu To me, more than sites to see, I think the best things are the festivals. Japan is an ancient society whose culture is second to none in the world. Sapporo is world famous for the Snow Festival (Yuki Matsuri) and the Yasakoi Suran Festival in early summer. Of course, being from Alaska, I love the national parks and nature possibilities. To combine nature and festivals, check out the Onuma Lake Festival in July. But again, to me the best of Japan can be found in the people, their culture and traditions (and they generally love it when visitors participate).

[@mindym5579]

I have a hunch this will not be Mav's last trip to Japan. Not that he doesn't mesh well with anywhere he goes but there's something special about Japan to Mav and it shows. 💚

[@youzhi7251]

Life hack: usingどうも (doumo) instead of ありがとう(arigatou) as thank you when traveling in Japan, it’s way more easier to pronounce and more polite when talk to strangers, cuz people normally says ありがとうございます(arigatougozaimasu) and it takes forever to say it right if you don’t speak Japanese

[@KM00Youtube]

Yaaaay! Received my very cool MAV Toshi Tee Tan T-shirt today! So cool! Arigato gozaimasu! 🥰🥰😎😎

[@lazyshinobi2861]

Japan is beautiful in general but I would imagine there is so many places I’ve seen in north Japan specifically that would make for fantastic camping ( bears aside 😅). That Toyota is absolutely gorgeous. Ty for taking us along this trip it’s honestly breath taking. I think it’s safe to say you have convinced tons of us to add this to the bucket list ❤

[@CanadianCampPurr]

Agreed about the truck, think mav said it was 2002, they sure know how to keep care of their vehicles!!!

[@lazyshinobi2861]

@@CanadianCampPurr it truly is insane to see the care they take , i first noticed this while watching a video where someone was thrifting in japan for old video game consoles . some how things from the 80s lookin brand new ! even more impressive with a car ..

Mav, that charcoal chicken… ? 🥺

[@graceballou6870]

You've been knocking it out of the park with this Japan trip! Way to go young man. 👏

[@nabowen22]

You are doing a great job in Japan, Mav! I lived there for three years. The first few months were rough with the language barrier and just adjusting to life there. Love that you are trying to learn the language and cook Japanese food!

[@louisaisthankful4603]

Many years ago I had a Japanese exchange student one summer. She was wonderful, kind, polite, intelligent, and fun. Our family loved her! It's nice seeing Japan from your perspective.

[@ritawilson8762]

Wow. Only Mav could pull off this fantastic trip. Camping, traveling, eating, driving, cooking in a foreign country. What an awesome experience.

[@TheBaldr]

While the coastal cities are know for seafood, Sapporo is more inland. The best dish to get in Sapporo is Genghis Khan, which is a lamb dish.

[@bonniepwtf]

This is just the best series, what an adventure. Very happy & excited for you to get to experience this. Stay safe.

[@ForeverChanged7]

I have fallen in love with Japan, Mav. Everyone appears to be so hospitable. Of course, you being kind and respectful goes along way. Enjoyed the content. You edit the best. Thanks Mav and keep on truckin'

[@BigNateOG]

FINALLY been waiting for a new update from you in Japan bro, I camp overnight every day as a security guard out of my car and your videos always give me ideas and keep me occupied, thank you for everything you do brother, KEEP ON TRUCKIN!!!!!!

[@chowloverdave1127]

Mav amazing! Driving a foreign car, driving on Japanese highways,shopping in Japanese grocery stores,cooking in fòreign cars. Amazing!!! I lived in Japan 50 years ago and can't do what you do Mav! You're fantastic!

Youre honestly the best Mav, and by far my most favorite youtuber. Please never stop doing these.

Hey Mav! Dave here from north central Ohio. Wildlife/landscape photography is what I do. Really enjoy what you do. And if I was still in my 20s I might even give it a whirl. Hang on to that mindset of yours, be greatful for your parents and brother keep on trucking 🚚

[@WantToGoHomeSoon]

[@lindseysilva663]

It amazes me how you adapt so well in another country. You are traveling alone in a country you have never been to and don't speak the language yet, that does not phase you a bit.

[@brodyz8327]

I’m living out of my 2006 F150 for the past 3 months because I came across your videos one day. It’s been fun and I’ve met more people from different walks of life while on this journey. Stay safe and keep on trucking.

[@yt_blazegalaxy1368]

You make us feel like we are traveling with you ❤️❤️❤️ we loved Japan as well. We've been stationed there for a total of 17 years. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us 😊 Have fun and stay safe. Ganbate😊😊😊

[@missingremote4388]

I was stationed there too, unaccompanied never had to cook nor did any camping. Did enjoy the 711 food and Yokohama Tokyo areas. China town and Landmark Tower. Atsugi Air base 2003 - 2005

[@George-nx8zu]

Do people that get stationed for that long end up learning the language?

[@dralbertpakin8895]

My parents lived in Japan for almost 3 years and I never went because of work. I wish I had now. I wasted a good opportunity too. I now want to go camping for a month like you are doing with the RV. I just hate flying so I have to work myself into doing this but I just love this!

[@bigenesis]

I watch quite a few KZbinrs in Japan. Just before they eat, they say "itadakimasu." Which means "I humbly receive" unless said before a meal, then it is comparable to 'bon appetite'. I have been obcessed with Japan since my sister and her husband lived there for three years for his job! My nephew taught English there for about a year as well! I am so glad you are enjoying your trip!

[@drumstick74]

Hi Mav! So cool to see you in Japan. You're the first camper chef I have seen cooking while lying down, but you handled it like a pro! ;) One suggestion: Rinse your veggies in water before cooking. There could be pesticides and other nasty things on it that you don't want to eat, so it's for your own sake I give you this advice. Keep up the good work!

[@WantToGoHomeSoon]

Same in America. They use nothing but deadly insect killers on our foods

[@hedgiagames4205]

its so nostalgic to see a cramped vehicle like that again, kinda miss the old setup but can't deny the experience of the full fleet you've collected. you should have hit up this other truck camper called tabi-ie hes got a fairly large following and I think the two styles would have been neat to see. plus he seems to know all the best camping spots.

[@cherokeegrandma4135]

We were vacation in Florence Oregon a few weeks ago & I met a couple who was crab fishing on a pier -- We struck up a conversation about camp stoves vs one of those small little one burner propane burners …. As we were talking the lady I was talking to happen to mention & here’s an EXACT QUOTE…. WE WATCH A KZbinR CALLED MAV WHO CAMPING ALL OVER !!!!!
