Turn down and simmer. add clams n juice. stir. add milk stir. turn up and wait till full boil. add large chunk of butter add lid and turn to simmer add a touch more salt and pepper to taste. let sit for an hour. enjoy. feel free to add more veggies like chopped carrots, celery even fried bacon bits to enhance further!

[@gregwatson7383]

Thanks Cb. I've been looking for a good recipe for clam chowder, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@charlierodriguez6786]

Yum!

[@itsROMPERS...]

Is half a large pot equal to 3/4 of a medium pot?

[@nabeelkhan51100]

@@itsROMPERS... I think it’s equal to 1/4 of an extra large pot

I have been watching a lot of "vanlife" content for a year, and I think yours might be the best. It shows how it really is and not all great all the time. Good stuff.

[@Misshighness444]

You don’t watch a lot bc there this cute girl on here who better

[@stonedog23]

Yeah there are few who show van life as it really is.

pro tip: cut the bread bowl into smaller pieces, brush the soggy bits with butter and garlic, and bake @350 F til it gets a lil crisp on top for some clam-chowdery garlic bread brings some new life into what might be thrown out normally

HELL YEAH, LONGER VIDEO NOW. Please keep with the longer video man! Keep it up!

[@marlenen6130]

If you find an opening under your van to bring up cool air then even putting up a quiet computer fan against the roof fan (but not turning on the fantastic fan) will totally evacuate the hot air and be quieter and more stealth. The air under your van is typically much cooler than the roof air. A small exhaust fan like they use for a composting toilet can draw up enough air. I’ve seen folks rig up something from the rear lights, behind the license plate and behind a rear mounted tire. Perhaps even around an undermounted spare tire.

Just a heads ups if you have AAA you could sign up with something called Active Direct Fitness it’s a monthly subscription that I personally use . One benefit it has you can go to any gym that is in the network such as : LA fitness, anytime fitness, and planet fitness and many more so it’s convenient when you need a shower in areas that don’t have your gym

[@alyssareach5287]

I love you did your van dark because it seems like it really helps with sleeping good at night.

[@dennisandrews8485]

Just a word of advice. I'd get a mini split A/C. it can be run on 12 volt and it that small space it would freeze you out if you put it on high. ..Well maybe not if you are in Phoenix, or Tucson Or Larado where it's just desert. But it will keep you comfortable

[@shmuelkurinsky]

Just started watching your vids and I can’t stop

[@motomason]

Seattle was once nice!! been here 42 years born and raised! locals don't go in to the tow anymore! tech and homeless now owns it!!

[@Lisakaylindsay256]

That’s a pretty good Whole Foods, I used to go there every morning before work when I worked in downtown Seattle. I live in the North End and ours up near Lynnwood is not as nice.

Like the plain white shirt although I would put a very small logo/pic on the upper left side (over the chest area) and keep the rest plain white on the front

I moved away from Seattle almost a year ago and I'm currently finishing up some finishing touches on the van I bought this summer. I'm planning on going on the road with my dog really soon and making my way back later this year.

[@carolyncarter1983]

You can use the clam juice as part of the water you boil your potatoes in.

[@Blackwater_House]

I always Shower at the end of the day for Three Reasons. It removes the Sweat from the day. It helps keep My Sheets fresh just a little bit longer. It helps relax Me for Sleep.

[@urbansoncrusoe8079]

$43.80 on the first trip (@ 4:18)...plus xtras needed further along. $50-$60 for a clam chowder? Hope it was good.

tip on the flour make sure u change it every couple months, flour mites will start forming

[@rtyu193]

"I don't want anyone to know that I'm living back here." As someone who lives in Seattle, that's like, the default assumption I'd make for any unmarked Van that sticks around more than an hour.

[@MattockL]

Dude, so proud of you. Life goals for real right there my dood. Keep on goin.

[@yo6687]

Stop

[@MannyWC]

You crack me up! Way to build your appetite with all the runs to the store. Can you imagine your wife saying…honey, I forgot the bread, and you run to the store; then you get back and she says, honey, we don’t have enough milk… Go to a goodwill and pick up a can opener:) etc.

[@Yourhighnessnona]

My American friend always talks about clam chowder and now I want to try it!

[@carolinepersons4260]

Do it! One of my friends from France had it on a trip over here. Now he asks me about it at least a few times a year 😅 I hope you like it!

I have this dish every time I go to Disneyland exactly with sourdough bread by the pirates of the Caribbean ride.. might have to try doing it myself, looks simple yet amazing!

[@GiGiRenea]

I haven't finished watching but I had to comment because you are actually going to cook!!! Ty for not pouring a can in a pot. You just took your first bite... I love this. Forgetting stuff at the store, that's real. And it does look yummy😋 I would've enjoyed watching you clean up the van... I liked this video 🙂 and I've subscribed.

[@orapronobis2149]

I love your van as one I at the age of 68 year old woman would enjoy traveling up and down the East Coast. Your set up is not only streamlined but so asthetically pleasing to the eye. I would be finding a place and enjoying knitting to watching KZbin. Happy travelings. 🎉

[@notreallydaedalus]

Assuming I go first, my wife has pretty much the same plan.

[@laswan5]

Fry up some bacon and add to your chowder. It's really good!. I'm a life long resident on the Olympic Peninsula. I love fresh seafood.

SLU is where all the tech companies are so yeah spot on assessment it's a nice area lol

[@Selagos-TX3]

Been living in my car for about 2 months, really looking forward to having my own van build eventually. I keep thinking thought, what's the problem with people knowing you live in your van or that you're currently in your van? It'll probably reduce the risk of thieves lol, I mean I wouldn't go tell people I live in a van, but people thinking badly of me for living in my car/van are not worth my time, it's like a radar for shitty people lol, it helps me see more clearly what others are like. Anyways don't be ashamed of living in your van, I'm sure it comes with many benefits which are even worth mentioning to your future boss, like for example I'm saving money for mortgage, although i might just get a nice apartment sized camper eventually, quite enjoy the fact that I'm not tied to one place and had the opportunity to travel to different cities and work there which I think is pretty exciting.

Get a wet mat/plastic and lay it down for the times you have to use the sink for a proper bird bath. Rag + soap + sink = better than baby wipes lol

Hi Ryan great content. Have you thought about doing a walk-around vlog showing the areas you camp in… would make for interesting viewing.

[@OKletsgetitPodcast]

im glad you made it through the night in our city. I don't got the balls to sleep in a van...i'll be too paranoid of someone tryna break in lol....but you picked a good spot. I believe thats westlake. definitley TINT your windows a bit...and maybe curtains

[@TheGoldishFish]

You should get a 8 sleep mattress pod cover and set it to MAX cold i think it better on the battery then the A/C unit :)

[@mdauz78]

Those are like $3k, yikes!

[@TheGoldishFish]

@@mdauz78 i'm not talking about the mattress pod combo. Just get the POD Cover is $1800 for a queen but it still alot. but i have one and it works so well on hot days!

[@papagin]

You van is my second home now. Love your content.

[@WdawgSmith]

Why don't you go in through the driver door every time you enter? Put your groceries over on passenger seat, and then slip through and grab them. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though, I guess if it's not illegal to live and sleep in that space it doesn't matter. I just figured you'd want to reduce any risk of anyone knowing that there is expensive stuff in there. Man I would not be cut out for this...... seems like pieces of food would just fly into places you can't get to. And then when it gets 100 degrees in the van it would just smell so bad you would literally have to remove like a cabinet or something to get to it. How do you keep that from happening?

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Cool video been trying to get to Seattle for a while. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Thanks for the content

[@Dobrufusnoretro]

If I ever achieve my dream of owning an old white van in decent condition for cheap and then add a small solar stealth solar panel on top connected into a solar battery to store power, I will probably stick to laptop (one with low power consumption and durable battery). Would love to have a small 12 volt mini fridge too but kinda unsure if a small stealthy solar panel would be enough to power it

[@squirrelmaster1225]

can you set one fan to blow, one to suck? keep that air moving?

[@IMP3TIGO]

Uh, you don't need to "stealth" camp in Seattle (or Portland, LA, SF) because there are hundreds of RVs camped out permanently throughout the city. Literally nothing bad will happen. You won't get moved, ticketed, or anything. Hell, "activists" here will probably drop by to give you free food, money and needles. Maybe some narcan too. Biggest danger is having someone steal your catalytic converter, so hopefully you have a guard installed to decrease the risk. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

[@jonclassical5710]

When Portland City Gov't is giving out Free Cocaine.....I am there!!!!

[@wattjob69]

It’s more fun to stealth camp😂

[@IBooDoopI]

Thats not the purpose of stealth camping though, not fully. Sure, avoiding issues is a part of it, but the main aspect is to purely live without it being obvious. To have hundreds walk by and nobody knows youre in living in it.

[@crateer]

Sure, but it's not like he only camps in areas where it's allowed. Also noone needs to know, no matter where you are
