Vanlife Camping Alone In The Mountains | Back on the Road

[@jasminesaez4878]

i have not watched your videos in months i use to watch alot when my husband was in the hospital every weekend battling cancer. your videos brought me so much peace thank you . he passed away in june i just now am trying to get back to myself and i am back on to watching your videos. thank you soo much

[@glee105]

So sorry.

[@russellsheffield431]

Sorry for your loss. I myself have been battling cancer for almost 3 yrs. I am ambulatory. I hope and am sure, that your upcoming journeys will provide you much needed relief from your difficulties.

I’m not a chef but I know any chef will cringe seeing how much Pam you use. Throw that in the trash. Use butter or oil

[@interstellar1423]

This has become my favourite channel. As I get older and KZbin content becomes so staged and dramatic I find myself craving normality, humility and feel good vibe content. Keep killing it brother, this is what I unwind to every night and am slowly working my way through all of your content.

[@RUYINAETENGsMEDICDIARY]

I've always wanted to own a van and go on road trips during the holidays. I'm living vicariously through your vlogs.

[@TJDawgs72]

I’m the same way…I have been mentally planning my van set up now for about a year. I’m hoping here in a couple years I may actually be able to do this as a reality, but for now, just like you, I get to live vicariously through his videos.

[@davinthalash7508]

Remembered that you camped in the same spot, so looked it up. April 03 2023 is the date. Oh I remembered how I was suffering from depression those days and the peace your videos brought me😢. I thought there was something special the way you talked about Julian in that video also and you also mentioned you would love to live there. Please never change Ryan❤

[@stellarpanda1266]

What a lovely comment. Hope you’re doing better now

[@tonaaaaay]

I stumbled upon your channel a week ago and for some reason can't stop watching your vids. I mostly put them on while I'm doing my mountain of dishes every night. Also, I'm from Canada eh and I always wait for you to convert your Fahrenheit to Celsius. Not just for your European fans! I also want to say that your video editing and music choice is very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the content Ryan!

[@darincarlin]

Pro tip: Don't season from the jar over a hot pan. The moisture will cause your seasoning to form chunks. So glad to see you back on the road!

[@CuzmicTarot]

YeeSSSS ❤😅

[@stephenkirkpatrick1823]

Good reminder, I'm also too lazy to stop doing this...lol

[@tahu300]

I know some people are hating on the Kei Mini Truck but I f***ing loved the build videos for it! I can’t wait to see the interior build video! I don’t really care if it’s practical or not or whatever. I figure maybe it’s underpowered but maybe that’ll lead to a video where you have an issue and you share that experience. Or maybe it leads to a video with you upgrading the engine somehow. (I know it’s possible but I am just not car-savvy enough to know what you would do besides getting a bigger engine somehow.) Also, I’m curious to see what you do with the front of the car interior too because you can’t be driving on those crummy cushions for long! Thanks for the content Ryan!

[@TexasPanhandler]

I am really interested in the interior build. Looking forward to it.

[@ModemmeX]

I’ve been to Julian a few times. It’s lovely.

[@etrimbleable]

Thanks for helping us weather bound folks to get out of the house.

[@conniebrown3717]

@RyanTwomey In observing your opened jar of Better Than Bouillon, I noticed you have used much of it. You stored it in your cabinet. 😮😮 You are suppose to refrigerate it after opening!!!!! It clearly states it on the label. 😅

[@steveogilvie5203]

The biggest drawback of most mini trucks going up a mountain is not the lack of horsepower, its because most of them have carburetors that cannot compensate for the thin air and they run too rich. If your Kei has fuel injection it wont be as big a problem.

[@nomadicgenealogist]

You need a couple rugs for you floor will keep the van warmer too.

[@calfolk7381]

fyi: Vons grocery stores in San Diego sell Julian Pie Company pies. My favorite is their Mountain berry apple crumb 👍

[@KirtLewis]

It was nice seeing Julian again. I Also stopped by this cool little town when I hiked the Pct. The restaurant gives All Pct hikers, free slice of apple pie.

[@mattbanville9355]

I will forever watch this channel. Please dont ever stop.

[@ladybugmom10]

Enjoy your videos so much! For whatever it’s worth, people probably thought the Wright Brothers were nuts too… so I’m sending lots of positive vibes for the truck build.

[@goddesseven7]

Omg I just wanted to grab that lone paper cup hanging in the bushes 😆

[@Mineav]

Just found your channel a few days ago, and I've been binging. Love the van and love your content.

[@philipluc4635]

Ryan don’t know if you will see this comment, but you are an inspiration to all!! Once I’m finished with my military service, my goal is to build out a vehicle and travel the continent!! Continue to make videos Ryan!! Much love from San Diego!

[@DenaInWyo]

Nice to see we got you on the BTB ;) Really with the chicken going into something that is going to simmer on the stove to cook, you really didn't need to worry much about it being frozen. You could have even started it with it frozen all the way, added all your ingredients, and shredded it at the end. So happy to see you on the road again...those are the videos I like most.

[@jcbaily5559]

It is interesting you carry fire wood with you. So do I, and it is only because should I have a flat tire, you need to have something to keep your vehicle from rolling back/forward and if you don't, having a couple pieces of firewood handy, that would solve that problem! I am hoping to take a vacation soon and though I won't sleep in my car, I will enjoy all the other benefits, take care my friend and stay safe!

[@MegaSusanc]

Awesome Ryan. Pretty cool I'm glad you popped up as a recommendation for me I'm enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures. GOD BLESS YOU KEEP ADVENTURING

[@TheSeventhAngelo]

I wish these videos are longerrr i need morr these are literally my favourite videos like no lie i smile everytime u upload!!

[@BlueShadow923]

Hey Ryan! I hope you do a video on April 8 2024 from a spot in the 100% path of totality for the solar eclipse. I experienced the 2017 solar eclipse and it was so amazing. This one will be even better for me because I have a van now to stay put and let the traffic clear. Safe travels!

[@maselm]

Thankfully back to these types of videos!

[@makotanko2994]

Chefs don’t wipe on cooking aprons! Hahah just messing. Also, build videos like your mini truck is awesome. Can’t wait to see it complete!

[@jenburns8554]

Idk why these videos are so interesting to me. but honestly thank you, , you're a benchmark here. Great stuff

[@bennyhill4131]

I'm soo hooked on your vids, man! Going through them like potato chips with ranch dip! love it! Keep going!..;)

[@logann8243]

Ryan I’ve been watching you for a while now. I enjoyed the mini truck build videos. I also enjoy your road trip videos. Keep up the great work!

[@MmKarlmost]

Love the mini camper truck build it’s really entertaining and motivating watching you build such a small truck love ❤ from the uk 🇬🇧

[@jacks16384]

I think i'd add a window behind the cooking area for breezes etc, I like how you keep talking and the camera switches and its just so smooth, impressive. lol

[@dannybrennan6953]

Love ALL of the content bro. Been here since before the doctor Phil episode lol. Imo just keep doing you. Mini truck is a concept I’m curious about. Just wonder if it can take ya where you want. Either way, I’m here for it! Friendly suggestion though, they sell propane gauges at Home Depot for like 15$ that screw right into your cylinder and you don’t need any extra parts. Super easy and that way you can plan accordingly with your propane usage. I bought mine for my grill and freaking love it. Saves me as I’m someone who likes to stretch that shit out as long as I can!

[@michellepittsley4256]

So glad to see you back in the van!!!

Awesome video Ryan! My husband and I love your adventures. Safe travels. The apron is a great idea!

[@Zaeylo]

Scenic views and playing Palworld would be an amazing time.

[@justjoshnya]

Wedge some foil under the cooking grates to level it out when you’re parked on an incline/decline.

[@lorijames3648]

FERRY TO ALASKA. That’s a dream trip of mine. I’d love to see you take that trip. Anacortes Washington has a ferry where you can drive your van on it. It goes the inner loop and up to Juno. I understand you’re not allowed to sleep in your van. People camp out in small tents on deck and bring coolers. There are some amenities but seems pretty rustic at least compared to a cruise. Love love love your videos. Thank you.

[@Coolwow437]

Hey Ryan I’m a big fan from Australia 🇦🇺, I love your content don’t worry about what people are saying about your mini truck enjoy what you do keep making great content for us love from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@roseanneweyrauch2886]

Glad you're back on the road now as a seasoned camper cuz we've had four or five and we own one now ours has a full bathroom but we've had to use those little porta potties use the chemical that we use in the campers just a little bit of that potty chemical and it won't stink in an emergency when you get into that little truck I see it's raining in this episode you won't be able to just walk up to the front driver's seat you're going to have to get out and walk all the way around to the cab that's going to be inconvenienced isn't it or a wet one be safe have fun we enjoy your adventures

[@craigroosa9321]

Love your videos and he way they come together ! Watch them all and look forward to the next one ! Safe travels ...

[@HostileTerritory]

Dude, I just made this dish for my family of six and it was a HIT! Only thing I did differently was add cheese to the top and once it melts, dish it up with a dab of sour cream and some tortilla chips. It was 🔥

[@tang0kat318]

8:50 there may not be a view, but the smell must be amazing. Fresh!

[@moricey4776]

You’re not the only one with a mini truck, watch Mav, he remodeled one and has fun with it. He does a lot of fishing lately Ice fishing on lakes. ☕️👍🏻🇺🇸🍕🍜

took the old highway from riverside to spring valley CA on a 300 cc motorcycle. easily one of my favorite drives

Ohhh wicked I’m so interested in the Salton Sea! I’ve been curious about it for years, definitely looking forward to that 👍👍👍👍

[@krisbrazas1742]

Love the warmer lights!

[@ML-kx9gz]

I just find it so cool that with starlink / solar you can be in some crazy remote area in say Alaska next to a river that you're fishing from, turn around if you catch something for a cook if not you already have a fridge full of fish, cook that up, crack open a beer and start playing call of duty talking with your friends or streaming netflix. I know for content you kind of have to keep moving on site to site, but if I am able to work remotely and have more than enough supplies to survive a few days chilling right there then I probably would lol I know you have done over nights or back to back nights at locations before but usually you keep it moving. But I could see myself hanging out there until my supplies run low enough that I need to head into town and before that happens probably planning the next location to stop at. Really living the dream even though I'm sure there are times it feels like work (especially driving and then parking behind a cracker barrel for the night lol) but if you are able to profit off of this and learn multiple skills (how to build out vans, build a brand, editing, etc) you sort of hit the jackpot.

[@escooter1]

I grew up in Poway. I love all the small towns in that area!!!!!

[@TJDawgs72]

Seen all the flooding in San Diego…hope your neighborhood is on top of a hill. You should get a slow cooker dude…so nice and simple for meals like this one. Throw everything in, add seasoning and water and leave it alone for about 4-6 hours. Pretty difficult to screw up, and it’s delicious.

[@jacquelineacosta4291]

Yay, back on the road again!!! You do some good cooking every time. 👍. Safe travels Ryan 💕

[@WHIKKEDDDD]

hello from arizona man! i rmemebwr driving through Julian by total accident and loving it, glad you’re doing some winter camping, especially since it’s been stormy and nice in Arizona the past few days

"Thanks for using Celsius! I'm from Brazil, and it's great not having to convert temperatures. Appreciate it. Love your videos!"

[@wyntermalone4034]

Hi Ryan. I’m happy to hear that you won’t sale your van!!!! Honestly I wouldn’t rent it out either.. Even with a nice insurance policy, it wouldn’t replace how you actually feel about it.. I know things can be replaced (before anyone tries to say anything about that) but if you actually rent it out, I’m sure you would make sure that everything is okay as far as the renters and etc..

[@Arrrandarrr]

I’m glad you returned to the road. I look forward to the videos.

[@VdubSPAZ]

I'm sure you've already taken care of this but you should possibly consider a foamy build it is basically taking extruded polystyrene which is why it's called XPS as well quiet it's rigid foam you can get it in different thicknesses and then you back it with something that is trucks will but not two structural you can either do regular fiberglass as well or you can do what they call Poor Man's fiberglass or pmf either way if you do like a quarter inch thing of plywood or laminate over top of it and you Bond it on both sides you can make a 1 inch piece of foam very rigid and very stiff and very very very very very lightweight there's some really good foamy builds and then there's some that kind of make you scratch your head but no different than other camper builds you got the good with the bad but I like so where are you currently have your band set up on the inside

[@edwardguzman883]

Renting your van out eventually.great financial decision.anytime you can make money while your asleep is awesome.i don't miss an episode,so please keep it up dude..

[@bballnono]

Maybe after you hit Julian for some pie then check out the Salton Sea! While you're in Julian you could also check out Lake Cuyamaca it's beautiful up there. Love the vids man keep up the good work

[@ArchangelMichael.]

Ryan you should for sure look into a 4wd conversion kit for the van and a lift with tires and wheels, you would no longer have to worry about if you could make it over terrain or if you’d get stuck, problem is, I’m not sure how much it would cost you for that specific van.
