Suburban Farm Camping in the Vespa Teardrop

[@robertkilroy5699]

Excellent! It is rare that I feel uplifted by a KZbin video. A funky old Vespa, a tidy trailer and bucolic surroundings. Magic! Thank you for a pleasant trip!

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Kia Ora Robert! I really appreciate the kind and equally uplifting commentary. I love to present with happiness and inspiration because that's what I feel from the inside out. It's a gift worth sharing. The suburban farm was a perfect backdrop for it too. Thank you so much for commenting and watching. It's genuinely appreciated :)

[@jurgentreue1200]

My wife and I lived in Laos 2007-2015. There was a local guy who restored old Vespas. You see a few on the road in Vientiane. The restorer was a bit of a mysterious guy and no one knew much about him. If he couldn't get parts, he'd make them. A mechanical genius, apparently. There was one Vespa that always caught my eye. A cream coloured one, probably mid 1960s, with a Watsonian style sidecar. A work of art only the Italians could make.

[@richardwatts6831]

Love how simple life can be with a small camper a simple meal a Vespa and nature. Very inspiring, thank you.

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Kia Ora Richard! I agree. There's a "stillness" to the adventures that's just wonderful. I'm glad that the peace and serenity I feel comes through like that. It's a glorious gift to share :)

hola mi padre tenia una vespa en los años 60 y me llevaba al colegio en ella, al verte a ti he recordado esos lejanos momentos, gracias por compartir saludos desde Chile.

Another wonderful video, I’m so sad to see nothing current. I guess it’s a lot of work. I hope you’re still camping with your Vespa and teardrop soaking up nature and enjoying your life.

[@jimmd53]

Just discovered your videos and I enjoy them tremendously. I can re look are as well since I am a big fan of the Vespa and in my younger days did a 3 day adventure throughout Crete living on the Vespa with just what I took with me. I visited the whole island and only wish I did more Vespa adventures throughout my life. Keep these videos coming, they are really good.

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Kia Ora James! Thank you for sharing your Vespa story. I love to hear about those little adventures. I appreciate the kind words and I'll keep the videos rolling. I'm filming the next episode this weekend :)

What a fantastic little set up you have here. It must have taken you a while to get it all right so you have just what you need and nothing less. Subscription added.....

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Kia Ora Aidy! Thank you for the kind comments. I am still in the process of figuring the little trailer out...especially the cooking part. Trying to get the kitchen down to just a couple pots / pans and cold food storage is still a challenge. I am really enjoying the process of trimming things some to their most elemental form. I genuinely appreciate the subscription. Thank you :)

My wife and I are still camping. We are just shy of 80. We camp in a fiberglass ParkLiner egg camper. Your videos bring us way back to the 1960’s when we owned and loved our Vespa 2-cycle scooter. Sure wish we had it today! Its color was that same powder blue. Thank you so much.

If I have to choose one single word to describe your videos... this word is 'delicious'. I enjoyed the joy of simplicity. Thanks a lot 😊

[@jesterger]

How wonderful is that? I watched the building of your trailer with great interest. It's beautifully designed and made. It simply stirs the imagination, of what adventures you can get up to with your Vespa and trailer. Well done.

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Thank you for the kind words. I’ve built a lot of things but the little Vespa trailer is my favorite :)

As a child I remember when my grandfather used to take me to a Vespa dealership near his house. He rode a scooters in the 40's (Cushman) but he had a love for Vespa that was passed to me. I have been in love with vespas since my early childhood and as an adult is even greater. Thank you for this video... Love what you are doing.

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Javier, It's awesome that your love of Vespa is connected to your grandfather. I had a wonderful grandfather too and certain objects keep me connected to his memory. Even better that yours are Vespas :) I'm glad you liked the video. More to come :)

Yes, it takes a lot of organization…something that I’m not particularly good at lol…I was thinking about adding bloopers at the end of my videos with all the things I forget - keys, sugar, toothbrush, clothes, cooking stuff, BT speaker, paper towels…the list goes on lol.

Hi Nancy! Welcome to my channel and thank you for the view. The positive comments really motivate me. Stick around to find out what's in the plaid bag. Disclaimer - it's gonna be a slow roll :)

[@sailawaybob]

it's so cool you can pull this with a vespa curious how much the little camper weighs ? also so cool for being so small that you can sit up inside and eat a meal. anxious to watch other of your adventures .

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Kia Ora Bob! The teardrop weighs just 170 pounds (77 KG). It is very roomy inside considering it’s size. I can sit up with no problem. In my Thanksgiving video, my friend Rob and I were forced to eat INSIDE the camper when it suddenly started to rain. I’m only 5’4” but he’s a full size man. We both fit and even had room for the tiny dinner table :)

Very nice video, thanks. I grew up just up the street from the owners of Meadows Scrapple in Altoona and agree that Scrapple is best with pure maple syrup!

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Brian, Meadows is the brand we always bought! As an adult, I can't bring myself to eat traditional Scrapple because it's comprised of "everything but the oink" LOL. The version I make in the video tastes close. Yes, lots and lots of maple syrup!! I grew up in Latrobe...just a stone's throw away from Altoona. Small world :)

[@briankopp6171]

I grew up in Altoona but lived in Johnstown for 25 years, and we had friends at the Abbey in Latrobe, so we spent a bit of time there. Scrapple is a lot like sausage - you’re better off not seeing how it’s made ;-)

Hi, Tom. Saw your post over on the FB Foamie Builders group, and came on over to subscribe. Awesome rig you’ve built there, and love the Vespa. Safe travels, my friend.

Such a cool Tiny Camper! Saw the build and am impressed! BestRoy

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Hi Roy! I checked out some of your boat building videos. Beautiful builds! There may be a chance for some collaboration in the future. I've had this crazy idea (from the start) to build a small barge-like platform to turn the Vespa teardrop into a house boat. Idea is to wheel the teardrop onto the platform, lock it in, and take off for a house boat camping weekend! What part of Canada are you from? Maybe we can collaborate when I'm ready to take that on?

[@roydesignedthat]

@@thetinysideoftiny7625 That sounds like a fun project! Some have done just that! Your Teardrop is so light it would even work on twin hulled "Hobbie" sailboat pontoons! Plenty of older used ones out there are cheap and a light structure or "track" for the wheels to roll on would save having too much weight where it is not needed! Under your trailer could be left open, just deck enough to be useful once the trailer is on! A 2.5 hp Would move you very well! A friend made a cheap small boat that cruised the whole Trent Severn waterway with such a motor set on idle and it cost all of $40!!! We are from Wasaga Beach, Ontario. South end of Georgian Bay. All the BestRoy

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

@@roydesignedthat Roy, I KNEW you were the guy that could point me in the right direction. I'm serious about the project too...so once I get my sea legs under me (pun!) with my channel, can I touch base with you to start the platform build? BTW - I lived in Ottawa, Ontario on and off for 4 years from 2005 - 2008. What a beautiful country you have.

Nice little set up. Try using denatured alcohol or HEET to preheat the Optimus. A lot less scary and does not make a sooty mess of things either.

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Kia Ora M! I will try your suggestion. I ordered a rebuild kit for the stove and I hope that helps too. It's fussy to get that jet engine flame sound to occur...so hoping a rebuild solves it.

Kia Ora Collin! I don't think the little foam trailer would last very long connected to a dirt bike :) Luan underlayment or very thin birch might be a better choice for the body material. I will say as a motorcyclist, it's amazing to carry your house with you. Thanks for watching Collin!

Hello, I just saw your video and I really liked it. I have a scooter and that's my idea too, go for a ride and make a small trailer. Thanks for sharing, you inspire people to enjoy life in the most original and simple way. Greetings from Austin, Texas.

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Hi German! If nothing else, I hope I can help people understand that you don't need much to be happy. A tiny scooter with a little foam trailer = joy. The best part has been human connection. It's opened up a new world for me. From neighbors across the street I've never met, to a gentleman from Siberia here on KZbin - connecting with my fellow human beings with the little trailer as the facilitator has been glorious. I'm looking forward to a lot more of it. Please share some pics if you decide to make a trailer : ) Thank you for the view!

Corrina, I missed your greeting of "Kia Ora" on the first read. I just googled it - Kia ora is a Māori-language greeting which has entered New Zealand English. It translates literally as "have life" or "be healthy", wishing the essence of life upon them.
