Solo Stealth Truck Camping the Canadian Border (Camp & Cook)

I camp, and cook some poutine out of my truck at the closed and off-limits Canadian border. It's been a hard few months not being able to travel much, and this was a fun trip. Wish I could have crossed. Now the border is closed until the 21st. but can almost guarantee it will be longer.

[@dwayneb72]

Hey do you understand why the border is gonna stay closed ? You have a country on the earth that there is a whole subsection of your population who believes the virus is a hoax and refuses to wear a mask because they have "rights" until the USA actually does something and gets the whole country on the same page no countries are gonna allow your citizens entry without some type of extreme quarantine it's too risky to the safety of countries that actually took it seriously

You are by far the most realistic car campers I ever known. Every videos you experienced or stated something that I think might happened as a campers. Being questioned and chased away by cops, aware of possible dangers (gunshots, bad neighbourhood etc.), non perfect equipments. Most youtubers they made videos like they are in heaven and acted like nothing can go wrong.

I love the feel of this trip. Mav, only you could pull off a scene like 28:08 that sets such a calm mood... just peaceful and asleep, while a bird circles and calls from high above... The first alarm of the morning, signalling to us that the sun is coming up and it's time to crawl out of the sack and make coffee. Thanks for that feeling, I'm going back now to watch it again.

[@stalink895]

i suffer from high anxiety and ur videos r really calming and ur energy and atmosphere u put out is very genuine

I really appreciate how you don't use any over-hyped music in your videos. There is something calming about watching your gorgeous drone shots with just the sound of your car.

[@richardkoo7869]

Mav, you have a lot of guts to go exploring by yourself around run down cabins. I would never do that. Your Minnesota accent is so funny.
