WAS IT WORTH IT? - Heavy RAIN and Truck Camper Living By The Ocean

[@mctrudeau5629]

I started watching you when you were on the Forestry Trunk Road, ever since your videos have gotten to another level. Keep on doing what you are doing ,you are a breath of fresh air unlike other channels using dogs and cats to get money out of the viewers. Kevin i wish you the best luck on your job hunt this winter, work lots of overtime...lol...so you can go on adventures next summer again and please take us along with you via videos. Take care and stay safe.

[@suemeyer7551]

But if its something that he wants to do and helps him stay out longer being able to create content, isn't that beneficial for all of us?

[@mctrudeau5629]

@@suemeyer7551 have you ever heard of cash flow? living this life style is not cheap, Kevin as mentioned that fuel alone runs around $2,000.00 per month, I love watching his videos and i really believe in time he will be able to do KZbin full time, till then keep working(winter) save money for traveling season. Of all of the KZbin creators i watch i have noticed that the ones that have gone full time and are doing well financially are the ones that kept working till the income from KZbin matches the income from whatever job they had. I watch a few people that live in their vans in Canada that if they have a $500 repair job to do in their vehicles they make it sound like it's the end of the world, i find that pathetic. Kevin is a fine young man, in my opinion i don't think he will ever become a e-beggar or liar like the majority out there. Wish you a wonderful day @suemeyer😀

[@toddramsay977]

We sweep everything into a pile and I have a small cordless vacuum used to get pet hair off of furniture, I suck up the dirt with, then do my cushions on the dinette and recliner cushions.

[@svenhodaka9145]

Kevin, I have huge respect for you keeping these special spots special. Keep it up. We can all enjoy them immensely with you through your videos. Your videos are peaceful, scenic and refreshing. Thanks for sharing with us. From a fellow 🇨🇦👋😁.

your right, theres nothing more cozy then hearing the rain hit the roof when your in a warm camper and having a coffee.

[@The_Other_Rock22]

Kevin, I stumbled upon your vids when I was researching northern lite campers. I enjoyed this video. Have to say we have similar energy. Keep on keepin on. 👊🏼😎

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

Such a beautiful site! I am 64 and have never seen an ocean. Enjoy your nomad lifestyle Kevin.

[@gwgrote5]

I've done it! After first finding Kevin's channel by accident, I watched every video from the beginning. I'm so glad I did. He has a great personality and shows us the beauty of Canada. This channel is unbelievable and I'm not sure why he doesn't have more subscribers. I guess I now can go to sleep. 😴 (my bed goes north to south) lol Thank you Kevin for creating a wonderful channel.

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you!!! I am glad you enjoyed!!!!

[@milonetzler67]

Really enjoying your vids man. I’m recovering from a back injury living in my Rv in the mountains in Washington just loving the places you go. Keep up the good work.

[@nancyadamson6755]

The Pacific is so peaceful and calming, I love your campsite.

[@foreverrving3281]

I like your videos, brings back lots of good memories of when we did it years ago in a 24ft class C. That Moho was only 5 years old at the time, but it saw a lot of forest service camp spots and hot springs. Never damaged it or had it drag, but the suspension got a work out. As for the Pizza stone, I’ve always done the cheap version of a 13”x13” porcelain tile from Home Depot. Look for the discontinued tiles, usually $1 each. I’ve had 8 motorhomes and I’ve yet to break an oven tile! I wish I could do a truck camper and go further off road, but the headroom is an issue. Pretty sure the ceiling height on your camper is only 6’5”, so I would have my head pressed against the ceiling!

[@jchai1343]

If you get to drive along Jordan river,china beach ,sombrero beach,Renfrew ,botanical beach, and then up to see Long Beach,gorgeous!

[@toddramsay977]

Switchbacks down the encarpment to the Bella Coola Valley is an 18% grade. So this is good practice if you want to go there! Great video!

[@jasonlarmer9420]

10,000 subs, congratulations Kevin!

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@mammabearjo5483]

I'm glad you have rest days, your whole being, body, mind and spirit needs to rejuvenate through resting. Priceless views, wow!

[@jodiswanson2075]

❤ another great video, thank you for taking us along on your journeys!

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Glad you enjoyed your time on the island! I've lived here for 30 odd years and it never ceases to amaze me with its beauty... ohh, i mean. it sucks! nothing to see here tourists! :)

[@jchai1343]

I love how you love life and are very up beat and I’m glad you got to enjoy our beautiful Vancouver island! Keep up the the great videos they are sooooo enjoyable great music,not so loud that it snuffed you out,soothing,relaxing and lots of fun to watch ,thank -you!

[@murraylynn-tp8vm]

I kept a fairly large rock in the camper or truck. Whenever I used the oven I would put the rock on the back of the stove over the vent. By the time supper was ready the rock was hot, it helped keep the camper warm. Don’t forget to put it away when you’re ready to travel again

[@markg3025]

Wow what a great spot. I enjoy your positive attitude and your big smile. Thanks for taking us along. Of all the places I would consider moving Vancouver Island is in the top five.

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

I would have to agree, probably in my top 3 places so far. It’s just so dynamic in landscapes and feels a bit slower. Love it!

[@reneetavares6380]

So fun watching you explore our beautiful island and seeing your joy at discovering our beautiful spots. Thanks for not posting where they are! 😊

[@furlvr1961]

Yes, the views are beautiful..... but the view of YOU tops them all. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@gwenfowler1826]

I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t tell us where you are. Just enjoy!!

[@jencameron8124]

The first time I made that six hour flight from home (NS) to the west coast, the beauty and charm of BC just blew me away! The folks we met there were fantastic. Didn't make it to the ferry in time for Vancouver Island, but, getting a good idea of what it's like through your trip. Yet another great video - thank you.😊

[@Whistlewalk]

Looks like a replanted loging road. Huge big truck travel those roads, safely. It's how you find the really great places. Living on the Island means living with the rain and the odd storm. It's just wet. I love living on the Island.

[@toddramsay977]

You look cozy and I love to cook in the RV on days like that. I do oxtails, chicken tetrazzini, or hasenpfeffer ( go to a local meat purveyor), maybe a Hungarian ghoulash, even all day pork chops in sauerkraut. My go to is Mac and cheese using Mexican Velveeta and Carolina reaper shredded cheese from Walmart for a kick! I eat good in my neighborhood!

[@capplehans9888]

I love you videos bro they just keep getting better each time .

[@cparker777]

Kevin, your idea to use the stone as a shield against burning food in your camper oven is smart. Great idea!!! Yummy pick for pizza toppings :) love the easy clean-up method :)

[@whuop-wadeshumbleopinion625]

Really really enjoyed this video. Gorgeous location and excellent footage. I love camping in the rain too. The sound of the rain on the roof is therapeutic. Hawaiian pizza for the win! Noice. Thanks so much for taking us along. Take care and safe travels.

[@Isaac-muntz]

That's definitely a disney cruiseline. Wow that's so cool to just watch'm sail by never thought they'd sail there

[@susanhill9166]

Hi Kevin, how are you ? Rather a bit late mate watching your video. Awesome views in this video, very interesting, thank you for taking me with you. I to also love the rain especially when I am in my narrowboat, have a fibreglass roof. I can't wait for the next video Kevin. Take care ❤ X X X

[@richardmallett9729]

We were in the end site by the creek in your video. Have been to this magic place many many times. intend to return as often as possible. good video and appreciate not advertising where located. sometimes very busy in spite of the poor road conditions. 4 wheel drive on the "hill" a good idea. continue to enjoy your nomadic way of life!! campers are the way to go!!

[@MattAK]

Congrats on 10k! I also love grumpy rainy days. Even better when you have a metal roof to listen to.

[@blupoppy608]

even with all the rain, i loved this video, the coziness and the beautiful scenery, great video thanks for posting

[@maryland8532]

Views are amazing.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

Cool to see you enjoying the island! We have the highest density of Black Bears in the world. We have grizzlies on the island now as well. I’m 99% sure they have been spotted in Elk Bay and close to Browns bay haha!

Long Beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island is even more spectacular.

[@marianfrances4959]

The Coast is always worth it!👍😎🇨🇦🌊🌿

[@Mikel9999-vh3cb]

For consideration. Get a pizza peel and semolina flour or cornmeal and parchment paper. Put the pizza on the peel with a good helping of flour between the pizza and paper. Heat the oven to 475 with the stone in the oven, then using the peel slide the pizza directly on the stone with the paper under the pizza. In 5 minutes using a spatula or the peel turn the pizza 180 and remove the paper. In 5 more minutes remove the pizza. Adjust timing depending on the thickness of the dough. It will make a fluffiest pizza crust you’ve ever made.

[@cheylou1]

I will not forget the two men who tried to pin me in on a logging road. I did escape with perseverance and God grace. You did from Alberta

[@mikeranfurly1135]

I was there 2 summers ago. Awesome spot, so not telling. Enjoy. Good crabs just north of rec site

I need to get out there next summer..I'm a mountain girl first but the ocean is definitely second.

You should be cooking your pizza directly on the pre heated pizza stone.

[@LeonaRasalas]

Yes!! And make the pizza on the bottom side of your pizza pan then it will be easy to slide onto the stone! 🤗♌️

[@robvandertogt7592]

You're supposed to cook the pizza right on the stone for an even and crispy crust! 😋

That's my kind of beach

[@mikemckinley1031]

Hey Kevin I use flat wraps, almost similar to what you made Maybe you should get a cover for your bike so it won’t rust out the chain

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

I thought about that but I think my tail light would be blocked

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

I take the bike off for winter aswell to avoid any salt getting to it

[@michaelide9380]

Thought for sure dinner would have been sea food at that great camp site

I have not noticed a difference, clouds don’t seem to bother it or if it does maybe not enough to make a difference

Welcome to the island! I feel your frustration with the parked campers. And I approve your delicious tortilla pizza 😋… BTW you can roll that thing up after cooking and enjoy a burrito pizza

What a beautiful spot ! Well worth the 13 km. Take your bear spray when u walk the beach. You probably won't need it but be ready if you do. Also keep close when you go to sleep. Enjoy our beautiful Island. We are so lucky to have all of this at our doorsteps, basicly. Thanks for the journey.

I think that’s the same place I was in July, about 35 km off of the main road north of Campbell River. I didn’t actually stay in the rec site, I boondocked about half a kilometre away.

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

There’s a few of these rec sites, really want to try some of the further one on the west coast of the north island

[@kjf63]

@@KevinWaldsAdventures the more of the video went on I realized that it’s not the same spot, but it looks very similar, right on the ocean after a very steep descent on a very gnarly road, cruise ships going by etc. I can’t wait to go back

My husband and I love your videos. Keep following your passion. Would like to hear more about the actual location and if we would need a 4×4 as we have a campervan.

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Look for rec sites on google maps, they usually just pop up. The road is as nice until the hill, coming out I was glad I had 4 low, but a van is lighter than my rig so if you put the van in 1st gear I would think it would be okay, there were cars down there aswell

[@RedSandAdventures]

Awesome spot for sure 😁👍 Great video
