Very nice simple set up there Simon. My grandparents converted an H plate 1970 long wheel base 2 birth Landy with a capstan winch in which they toured around in. Shipped it to South Africa and America, drove to Morocco and North Capp. Loved it as a kid, was fascinated by the levers and loved the blue diesel light! They were living the van life in the 70’s😂

I've loved this set up from when you first posted your "Off Grid Adventure Wagon" video a year ago. And you've only made it better. The crowning glory however is the canoe paddle shifter knob!

Hi Simon. Just catching up with your videos and can't believe you're stealth car camping next to the old mill. That's literally down the road from me. And I believe that I passed you parked there because I mentioned to my mate about the Land rover and said 'I bet someone's stealth sleeping in That' .... Well I guess I was right. Lovely spots around here for some wild camping/ stealth 'shush' just off the A45

When I saw the canal boats, I thought you'd parked by a canal ( I live on a canalboat, so instantly interested.) But the river is so gorgeous .What a beautiful spot for a stealth camp.
