Thanks duck. Glad you enjoyed it 😁x

[@GaryPearson-f3z]

Thanks Coral. We’re based full time on an industrial estate for three years. It’s been ok, it’s next to a nature reserve and during the day we get off and out to the new forest. Weekends are so quiet it’s lovely.

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Gary, you're welcome 😊. Ah, so you're on an industrial estate too? It sounds quite nice being next to a nature reserve. Some are better than others I guess. And yes, weekends are great 😁

[@anthonyellis1409]

Happy New year. And keep warm Be save coral.

[@NarrowboatWill]

that fire starter is a great tip. Ta

[@anothercampervanchannel]

You're welcome 😊

[@carnivorecampers]

Bloody Hell! That bread looked brilliant!

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Yep, Sainsburys did a good job didn't they? 😂

[@Envirofitz]

A great insight to sour dough happy New year Coral the fire starter wind swept vision stay warm bless ❤

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Thanks, atb for the new year to you too 😊

[@johnbateman3244]

Ayup Coral. Firstly a very happy new year to you and we hope you had a good christmas. Nice fire lighter tip. I was always told to rub two boy scouts together but you can never find one these days. Anywaaay we didn't get to see the sour dough bread you were cultivating. I thought the first one you showed us was one you had made and I was well impressed. Just shows how guillable I am 🙄. Great video and so nice to see you out and about again. Take care 👍❤️💙

[@anothercampervanchannel]

😂. Hey John, happy new year to you both too. Xmas was okay, but nowt to get too excited about. I will be making sourdough bread in my van at some point. I ended up throwing that starter away as I think I might have burnt it alive putting it too close to the log burner 😩🤦‍♀️😂 Did have success with another one and made 2 loaves-first one wasn't great, 2nd one was better. Next time, it'll be in my van. We'll see how that turns out without a proper oven...🙏. Thanks for watching 😊🍞

[@The-Good-Life-Off-Grid]

You put the word to rights love. Glass bottles will be the doggies men and women 😂take care 🤠👍

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Lol, probably 🤦‍♀️

[@oldmanoldvan]

Very entertaining Coral 😃👍🏻😎❤

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Thanks John, glad you thought so 😁

[@claremaidofthewave251]

You had me at the loaf 😂…..van looks so cosy with the fire on. Wishing you the very best for 2025 Coral. 🎉😎❤🌟✨xx

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Clare, lol, think I fooled a couple of folks 🍞😂. We'll see how mine turns out when I cook it in the van without a proper oven 🤔😂. And thanks, all the best to you too for the coming year 😊 X

[@helengregor8589]

Wow, firelighters are brilliant. We use an oil.........😊

[@anothercampervanchannel]

hey Helen, you use oil? Whcih oil?

[@TheWhatacracker]

Coral the bread ...WOW ...looks fantastic. 😋 😋

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey, yeh, well done Sainsbury's 😂

[@ManyFunAdventures]

Bloody hell, a bit windy then? Nice and cosy though with your fire on. Lovely. 🥰

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Andy, aye, just a bit. It was at the time of the last storm we had, can't remember the name. Gerald or sumert 😄. But yes, cosy. Cheers chuck 😊

[@stevenpanter943]

[@anothercampervanchannel]

😊

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Forget to tell you that I ordered some of those seeds. Gonna plant them in my allotment once it warms up. Industrial estates make good park ups tbf. Great firelighter tip 😊 Bit late in the year for caterpillars, hope it survived the snow. Where did you get the Einkorn flour from? Good luck with thr starter, cant wait to see your 1st loaf with it. Atb x

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Maria, ah, was that the spelt seeds? I agree, that industrial estates make okay park-ups. I mean once your blinds are shut, you could be anywhere. Yep, it did seem late for the caterpillar, although google seemed to be saying that they are active between aug and april 🤔 Got the einkorn flour from ebay. Bit more expensive than refular flour but better quality and less 'bad' gluten apparently. I've made 2 loaves at my daughters. 1st one wasn't great but the2nd one was better. My next challenge is making it in the van without a proper oven, lol. 😬 X

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

@anothercampervanchannel I got the enkorn seeds, they not come yet tho. Oh must have missed your loaves vid. Il get some flour and try making a starter vis uyk be end of the year b4 I can even harvest mine, if it even grows. lol could it not go in the burner? Or omnioven? I tried making yorkshire puds I'm my oven and they were like pancakes lol xx

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Blimey, you must be patient waiting for wheat seeds to grow, lol. I wouldn't get my dutch oven in the log burner. I've finally had some success with my starter though (in my van) which is very exciting! Lol, saddo. So I will try the bread soon. Just had to get LPG today as I didn't want my gas to go whilst baking bread 🤦‍♀️😂 x

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

@anothercampervanchannel lol well il buy ready for now but I just like growing things. Plus if it grows I can give u some flour 🙂 ohh nice one on the starter, happy baking, hope u do a vid on it. Xx

[@tony3444]

Good video i saw you up man tor yesterday i got a bit stuck on the ice lol were the buses turn round i was in a grey mazda bongo all good in the end

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Thanks. lol, you and many others. If I'd had a quid for everyone that got stuck, I'd have had a night in a premier inn 😂.

[@gloriadoidge8422]

Wow,thanks for that fire lighting tip.That’s great.Nice having a wood burner in your van.

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Thanks Gloria. Yes, it is 😊

[@olwynmaurer861]

Empty toilet rolls stuffed with lint from the dryer……weird and wonderful ideas ☺️

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Sounds like a winner 😊

[@nm-ge4tb]

🙏🙏💖💖💎💎👍👍😍😍all good kid , hope you are ok and had an excellent festive , all the best for this year x

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Wayne, thanks love. Yeh, xmas was okay. Hope yours was too. Atb to you too 😊

[@jmick7191]

Great vlog Coral 💕 Will watch your sourdough starter with interest - you've inspired me 🤗 🍞🍞🍞🍞 xx

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Janet, thank you. I ended up chucking that starter and started again. Did manage to get it to grow and made 2 lots of bread at my daughters. First one wasn't great but the the 2nd was better. The next test is baking one in my van 🤞🙏😬 xx

[@petemoring67]

Can you make a dedicated video on 'Wind' please ... I never quite got the Gist of Your explanation there 😜 .... Seeing you with that 'Cauldron' doing Your Potion/Experiments - Reminded me of 'Wargrave Willy'

[@anothercampervanchannel]

😂🧙‍♀️

[@AdamGoldswain]

Hi Coral 👋 hope you had a good Xmas/New Years eve 👍 interesting to see what happens with the sour dough, I like a bit of sour dough too 👍 I hear a lot of people slagging off industrial estates/urban park ups but I think they’re all right every now and then, and their surprisingly quiet too as you said. They normally have big skip bins too so ideal for getting rid of rubbish/recycling/waste. Great advice for anyone wanting to make their own fire lighters. I used to use a bit of egg box, drier lint and candle wax, never thought of using Vaseline! Up until recently I’ve wild camped for years, the house I grew up in backed on to forests so I used to come home from school/work on a Friday night a bugger off into the forest for the weekend, Friday night to Sunday afternoon 👍 I’m hopefully going to look at a 2001 Iveco in the coming weeks, the guy lives in Exeter so not far from me. He’s asking £8200 but I made him a offer of £7750 and he was happy with that so we’ll see 🤞

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Adam, thanks, had a nice xmas/NY thanks. Hope you did too :-). I ended up throwing the starter away and tried again. Had more success with the 2nd lot. Managed to bake 2 loaves at my daughters. 1st one wasn't great but the 2nd one was better. The next challenge is baking one in my van, lol. I also now think that industrial estates are okay occasionally. They can be very quiet. Egg box, wax and lint also sounds like a good alternative. 👍 Oh your house growing up sounds like it was in a lovely spot 😊🌲. So is the Iveco converted already? Exciting times 😊

[@AdamGoldswain]

@ yeah looking forward to seeing how the loaves turn out in the van 👍 trial and error 👍 baking with Coral soon then 👍😎 does the chimney on your wood burner get too hot? Or did you wrap it so that you don’t burn yourself? We used to heat wrap our exhaust manifolds on our drift cars. Yeah the Iveco’s already converted, only thing I’d like to add is a wood burner. It needs some welding and a few other bits but I think that offer is reasonable for what it is, unless I go and view it and it’s falling apart 😂 I just can’t believe what some people are asking for vans now, £30K,£40K,£50K, there’s a woman in Swanage, Dorset that’s not far from me and she’s asking £63K for her Citroen relay/Peugeot boxer. Obviously a newer van but that’s bonkers, to me at least 😜

[@anothercampervanchannel]

@AdamGoldswain bloody hell, £63k?! That's mad. Yes, for what he's asking (and if it's in good nick) that seems okay. I wrapped the exhaust as it was a bit of a mess, rusty. Cheers 😊

[@AdamGoldswain]

@@anothercampervanchannel the chimney looks cool though, a bit steam punk/mad max vibe 👍😎 I’ve always wondered what those heat logs were like too 👍 See you in the next one and take care 👍😎

[@keithpringle1103]

Spotted the first daffodil yesterday, out early this year, hopefully that's a good omen for better weather 😀

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Keef, blimey, a daffodil? I'm surrounded by snow, so no sign of spring ere 😬

[@keithpringle1103]

@anothercampervanchannel Snow here as well, won't last long, thankfully we have a microclimate here 😀

[@anothercampervanchannel]

@@keithpringle1103 4 days now and no sign of shifting. I'm down to my last 10 litres of water, hardly any food..🙄🤦‍♀

[@keithpringle1103]

@anothercampervanchannel You stuck in the snow? That's not good 😐 it's going to warm up in a few day's, hope you manage okay x

[@keithpringle1103]

@anothercampervanchannel think I remember a video of yours melting snow, shoved loads into a bottle and ended up with next to nothing 😞

[@georgeton4991]

Fanks Coral, will enjoy the vid.

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Welcome George 😊

[@sasvanach]

Nice one coral .. catapiller still waiting on last summer 😂 and if ya bread fails keep hold of it incase ya ever need any wallpaper putting up 😂😂😂

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Aye up, thanks. Lol, yes it probably is 😂. Lol, tbf, you could use the starter as cement 😂🤪

[@sasvanach]

@anothercampervanchannel 🤣😂

[@rockingrodders8551]

Loving the bread making Coral..I know my way round a loaf or two..artisan Baker once upon a time..enjoyed your windy walk and when you saved that catapiller too..Cool firestarters for your nice log burner..Chapeau..Stay Safe and I will look forward to your next video..✌🏻

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey Rod, I actually made a loaf at my daughters which turned out okay. Not tried it in my van yet though, that will be the test! But yes, Artisan bread is the name 😊. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Theresa-s9u]

We stay on industrial estate few times . We full time as well

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey there, I've been pleasantly surprised by them so far. Good to know they're there as an option 😊

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

Great vid nice park up good view out off one window fire lighter is great idea stay warm snow now all best donny x

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Cheers Donny 😊

[@mikesmart390]

They do those night logs ideal for keeping van warm at night also top tip castor oil for skin works wonders mix with coconut oil less greesy

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey there, been using a bit of smokeless fuel which stays warmer than wood, but yes, I wouldn't mind trying the night logs. I have some castor oil but find it really thick and not easy to use. Maybe some coconut oil would help. Cheers 😊

[@Jan-ih5br]

Would this work? Put the vaseline in old takeaway container or something and then wipe the cotton wool in it , easier ?

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Yes, very possibly 😊👍

[@georgeton4991]

For OUTDOOR USE rubber inner tube burns goods, AVOID INDOORS.

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Ooh no, they stink, lol

[@georgeton4991]

Ray Mears recommends them.

[@anothercampervanchannel]

@georgeton4991 he's dead isn't he?

[@sandbagsid]

Hi coral sorry I missed you at the van meet up. I left New Year’s Eve had a problem with my van. Hope you enjoyed yourself. Say safe and keep warm. 😎👍 Alan

[@anothercampervanchannel]

Hey there Alan, ah, I didn't know you were there. Hope your van is okay now. Yes, had a nice time and I'm still here! Don't want to drive on the icy roads 😨 Cheers 😊
