Walking Baxter / Testing my new GoPro hero 12
Переглядів 827 місяців тому
Wanted to test out my new @GoPro i purchased with my tax return and it worked out perfectly to do so while walking Baxter for the last time. I wanted to make a video with Baxter to look back on and remember the random dog i walked for a winter to make some cash. #nantucket #vanlife #goprohero12 #dogwalk

I am a life long Seattle Mariners fan and they happened to be in New York City while I'm living my vanlife here this summer! I was super excited to find out they were on the road here at the same time as me. Visiting Yankee Stadium would've been a must for me regardless while here but to have my home team be the visitors while i was here was incredibly special for me! In this video I show the s...

How do you get to sign up for the free pass?
@@teranceram1724 I believe it is available every Wednesday online on their website but you have to get on there Monday to reserve them if I remember right. It’s all on their website! Super worth it!
damn that quality looks no good.. no offense.
It's rude as hell to eat in the mic dude
Music is fire af 🔥🔥🔥
@@Sadik.a had to listen to non stop New York music while there! 🙌🏼
The funny thing is that your van probably has more space than most NYC apartments, and even with all these restrictions, you were able to get a taste of the city on very little money.
@@dougronald561 absolutely!!! It’s so cool to me to be able to experience all these places without having to pay rent or hunker down and commit. Super fortunate for cheap monthly public transportation! One of my favorite parts of NYC was how easy it was to get all over with just the subway and not having to drive everywhere! Thanks for watching!
@@JoshyByNature Yes you just followed those tricks you learned, and it was doable.
I wasn't expecting the background music. 😂
NICE
Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA Great shots. How were the people? I know it takes a whole lot of cash to be able to live / play there. Are the members polite or did you not really encounter them? Any horror stories from other workers?
@@TinyIslandMaine people I work with are great! Some out in town though can tend to be a little snobby. I’m mainly just here working though and not spending too much time or money out in town. The members seem to be 50/50 some will wave back and some don’t. Some will say hi back and some don’t. I plan on heading up to Maine after this season to explore, any recs other than Acadia?
@@JoshyByNature thanks I am glad to hear 50% are nice! When you go to ME there are many great places throughout the whole state. Acadia is VERY CROWDED even through September so be aware. You will need to make an actual appointment to drive up Cadillac mountain it is so crowded! The Sebago Lake region is a great area with plenty of hiking and water activities. Gotta swing by Freeport and visit LL Bean. I think you can stay overnight in their back parking lots. Also plenty of other shops and water areas to explore in the area like Yarmouth & Falmouth. Camden is a touristy yet beautiful area. Many small breweries all around the state too if you like. Hope that helps a little. ✌️& ❤️
@@TinyIslandMaine thank you so much!! I’ll be up that way around end of September! Really appreciate the tips! I’ve never been!
You should take it late at night when they use the smaller boats! Such a difference haha. Also don’t be fooled by the new boats they have cockroaches hanging around to! I’ve seen them on every boat from my commutes haha. They just need to bring back the vendors with the beer on the ferry.
@@PerezEditingCo that would be rad to go on it late night! Thanks for the tip! Next time I’m in town I’ll do that! 🫡
What the fuck is the matter with you go to a fire hydrant open it up put a hose on it there you go
Your pose to get the z man sandwich there
I live 10 miles from Scranton. Now ill have to get some Alfredo's pizza 🍕 😊
It was surprisingly good!!
Godspeed with your recovery 🙏
Great video. Where did you find parking?
Just along a street but very seldomly 😂
Here in Astoria and LIC Queens we have a lot of van an RV living.
Gonna have to check it out over there when I swing back through! Thank you!
Just found you and Thanks for this Info... Can you give me an idea of where you parked ? I never find st parking other than with a limit.. Thanks
Thanks for subscribing Tom! I’d say the areas that had living spaces above businesses tend to have street parking available for days other than when street sweepers come. When I went to Brooklyn I found that beside parks tended to have parking.
For showers the cheapest gym membership I found is city recreation centers. $100/year so $8.33/mo. I think I’d sponge bathe inside the van, but I have seen low height van showers using curtains velcroed to the ceiling, garden sprayer to push water, sit on a folding stool, drain into a shallow basin that doubles as storage. Rechargeable battery garden sprayer is a bit more convenient.
For water get a “water thief” from RV supply. Allows connecting a hose to most any water faucet. It’s a rubber cone that fits snugly around a faucet outlet. I think I’d also have a funnel and try drinking fountains in parks, would require holding it patiently. Haul water with a 5 gallon solar shower bag tucked into a rolling suitcase, can even take that on the train :-) If 5 gallons is too much, fill it partway. I think I’d only use this water for washing; Filling from public sources seems like asking for bacteria. Another possibility: water delivery either to your van or to a friend or nearby store and pay them a little for the privilege. Could do both; Packaged water for drinking and cooking, tap for washing.
Appreciate all the info!! Seriously!
If I were to live in a van in NYC I’d install a J1772 connector (with AVC2 board) to recharge the batteries and use stage 2 EV chargers after 6p when they’re less busy. A used Tesla battery module gives 5.2kWh, costs about $1500, weighs 55lbs, dimensions 12x3x27”. Couple of those bad boys and you can run a 5000BTU window unit, sleep at a charging station. Day parking wouldn’t need a sunny spot so is more flexible.
Pardon me. Level 2 charging. Not stage 2.
I'm originally from NYC and I would never have even thought of doing "van life" or living in a car there. I lived there in the 70s, 80s & moved in August of 1995. Do yourself a favor, go upstate. Definately get out of The 5 Boroughs. Good luck to you!🎉
Looking forward to exploring upstate sometime for sure!
Dude, stay out of Manhattan! Better to stay in Queens or Brooklyn. Try College Point, Queens-not far from LaGuardia Airport, lots of industrial areas for parking, but also not far from shops and the gym to get what you need. More open space to charge your batteries. And there are plenty of parking lots and street parking! Some places are also free from alternate-side parking rules (but you’ll have to check; some places are not).
Right on! I’ll likely check more of those other places out when I swing back down! I think for an outsider the allure of the city was Manhattan. I did go over to Brooklyn for a few days and parked in a sketchy area but was fine. I guess in east village I felt a like maybe safer. But yea for sure more parking and more open space for sunlight would’ve helped out a lot! Appreciate the info and thanks for watching!!
It’s overpriced for what it is. Mid barbecue that’s out in about 2 minutes. There are better places in and around KC. The sause is good though.
An emergency method is to purchase the largest/lowest Sterilite plastic box. Use it for storage but if/when the need arises, flip it upside on the bed to empty and you've a mirco-tub. Keep a couple of SmartWater bottles as the flex well and spare caps. Drill out one cap with an 1/8" or smaller for a shower head. If you sleep with the water it'll be just warm enough but use your imagination for warm water as typical shower is max 105. Dump into your 1 gal laundry detergent piss-bottle wipe out with the towel that's headed back to the gym. With summer coming up, kill that piss-sent with AMZN bleach tablets. 1/4 tablet will do as a temporary fix with some water. Backpack a smaller jug to the gym daily. Cut one up too as they make a great dopp-kit in the shower and you can hand wash a quick pair if needed. Do not hand wash with detergent: chemicals not OK. Dr. Bronners liquid soap does so much for your situation.
I have ZERO room for any of this especially in the city 😂 every other city has gyms close by and can actually drive to everyday and be fine or I have a solar shower for when camping. My van is super small but hopefully someone that reads this can use it! The only problem in NYC is that I couldn’t just leave my parking spot as it wouldn’t be there when I got back plus there wouldn’t be any parking by the gym. Thank you though!!! Very thoughtful!
Buddy just showed me a Ryobi 18v fan that he runs all night in his van. Then takes the battery to work for a charge. AMZN or HD. Heater? Dickinson from CA. Propane but silent. Windows are the worst thermal points so cover them come winter.
Thank you! Yea for sure need to find a better fan to go along with roof vent!
Olympian Wave heaters cost half the price and are often used by van dwellers
Don't
Push
8:05 you haven't traveled enough yet to see anything at the subway😂
Haha yea I know I likely just got lucky 😂
@@JoshyByNature I got a few tips for you: from my time in New York avoid the Bronx subway one that is the most hostile, and avoid midtown planet fitness, go to the one at downtown and other bureaus, and you might want to check the private parking lot they are all over across the city they give me peace of mind every time I have to park...
@@TheWalkerCristopherPerez thank you! Yea I went up to the Bronx for a few Yankees games and for sure a different vibe 😂 went around Harlem as well and drove straight back out of there haha. Decided to stick around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Hoping to swing back through there again maybe towards beginning of winter on my way down south. Appreciate it! 👊🏼
Van life in NYC 😊. You are built different.
Hahaha it did take a lot of extra effort than any other place.. worth it! Always wanted to experience NYC!
What a shithole lol
It's probably cheaper to drive to Long Island for cheaper water. Since there is no toll between NYC and Long Island if you choose the right route.
Thank you!
One thing to add about being in your car to avoid tickets, “Don’t be sleeping!” I was in my car waiting for a relative in Midtown and I fell asleep in the driver seat no tint they put a ticket on my windshield didn’t wake me up or try to lol so make sure you are awake..
For sure slept in my van for over a month without issue and I read that NYC is one of the few cities where it’s not illegal to sleep in car.. sorry to hear that happened to you
@@JoshyByNature Thanks man, sorry I meant don’t be sleeping while waiting for the street sweeper , if your in a spot you shouldn’t be at they will ticket you instead of knocking on the window for you to leave.
@@Virtuoso87 oh for sure no doubt!! Def wanna be in driver seat ready to move over! Love how cool the police are about that situation as they walk down street to see if you’re in there ready to go!
Here's a source for water. At 72 st and Central Park West is the entrance to Central Park. Go in and in about 60 ft in on the left side is a fountain. It's only working when the weather is above freezing but who wants to be living in the street in the winter anyway.
Thank you!! I’ll check that out for sure when I swing back down through there!! Appreciate it!
Went far for that shower 😂😂
It was such a pain in the ass to do but very necessary every day there in summer when it was so hot and humid!
This was so touching. Your mom is with you and proud of your accomplishments.
I loved this zoo as well as the music and content. Just subscribed ❤
Thank you so much!!!! Yes that is still the best zoo I’ve ever been too and can’t believe it’s free! Highly recommend!
I had a meniscus surgery and I was out of commission for 4 months. Yes do what they tell you and in the long run you be happy you did.
I’m trying!! Still not completely sure what’s wrong with it but I think it’s some form of arthritis. My biggest issue is I’m on an island right now working and there’s no VA hospital here for me as that’s my only healthcare coverage. With that being said they did cover my ER visits here but both doctors weren’t too thrilled someone was coming to ER for ankle problem and didn’t really get me a solid answer to what it is. Gave me steroids and the swelling and pain went way down but not completely. I’m able to work again which is great but still some discomfort. If stays bad I will likely go to hospital right away once I get back on the road! Thanks for watching!
It must be tough under those circumstances, not actually knowing. If and when you’re back in the states go get it checked out. I do know when I had issues with my knee pain went to the orthopedic and he said it was arthritis. In the mean time I had steroid shots that worked wonders about every 6-12 months for two year. Then I suddenly had excruciating pain and I was diagnosed with,meniscus teat in that knee . I just realized I haven’t had any after arthritis pain after the surgery 3 years ago. I don’t think it was arthritis, just haven’t been back since surgery.
@@pppaaattt4671 yea it’s manageable right now for working but likely not for going and playing golf here at work or for hiking when I get back on the road. Would love to have surgery or anything that will alleviate this problem for me as it would put quite the damper on my journey since hiking and being active and exploring new places is all I want to do! Glad to hear you haven’t had pain since surgery! The steroids they gave me helped immediately but now I am off them as they only gave me ten days worth.
Another lifelong NYer here. First thing, get out of Manhattan. Brooklyn, Queens, or certain areas of the Bronx are much better for parking and Van Life. Also, I would have a few neighborhoods where I would rotate my stays. You don't want people to know your routine. That is a good way to get your van broken into while you are away. If memory serves, there is a street in Brooklyn, I believe Red Hook, where van lifers stay. It is referred to as Van Alley. I have not been there but hear that it is a great place for the van community.
For sure! I know Manhattan busy but I guess being an out of towner I wanted to be in the thick of it. Did go to Brooklyn for a bit! I felt sketched out everywhere other than East village and had no problems, but great point about people seeing routine! I did check out Van Alley but it was full and also seemed a bit sketch with the people there at the time I was there. Wish I had more money to have stayed in NY longer! Will be back for sure after work season is over and start heading south for winter! Thanks for adding a locals advice!! 🙌🏼
@@JoshyByNature if you are ever stuck, go to astoria , queens underneath the Tribourough bridge there is a huge lot there, a beautiful park and view of the east river
@@Z.November thank you! I’ll keep that in mind when I head back through there!
@@JoshyByNature Here's the deal.... "Get out of Manhattan....???" Technically there are five boroughs. There's Manhattan and then there are the other 4. Queens, Brooklyn, Statin Island and the Bronx. These are the places where the taxi drivers sleep. Manhattan is New York and New York is Manhattan, period.
Bronx would be better Throggs neck is good but limited train service.
Hi work in that area and hi park an that same street you an it's not easy to get parking sometime you get lucky
Yea parking is so hard! Once I got a spot I wouldn’t leave it!
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! Hope it helps!
You could of buy ice and put it into your fridge so you can get your cold water :)
Get better duders!
Thanks man!! 🤞🏼 let’s catch up again soon!
Heck yeah, get that ankle fixed brother, and come back bigger and better! Hope everything turns out great! <3
Thanks brotha 👊🏼
Wishing you a quick recovery. 🙏 I will be looking forward to your videos.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼 😊
Heck ya buddy!
Thanks for watching bro bro 💯
Sick video! Is that course public?
Thanks Adam! No it’s a private club
Whats your favorite hole to play? Make a video on that and par it out!
@@adamfrancois2863 I’m gonna say Hole 1 par 4, as it’s elevated at the tee and then still a little elevated for second shot to green and have to hit over two fairway bunkers dead center. Good idea! I’ll have to make that video!
Whats the distance?
@@adamfrancois2863 I’d say it’s about 375 or so, just a guess.
Thanks for the tips
You’re welcome! If you’re going to New York I hope it helped!
My Bud, Works on Nantucket Year Round, He's a Master Carpenter, Think he Built Obama's Home, he works 5 days, comes home on Friday Night..
That’s awesome! I’m sure he makes good money out here doing that! I’ve been here since July and going to work until September and then getting to the hell off this island and back on the damn road 😂
Be Safe,, Don't Pick Up Wooden Nickels!!
hi what is your email? DR related
Absolutely gorgeous place and photos.... Unreal. Thanks so much for sharing part of your adventure!! Really enjoyed it!!
Yeah buddy!! Next years is gonna be wAy better! Thanks for watching! 🫡
The picture montage are very interesting, I love montages. I notice there is sunset in most of them. The food looks delicious too. The light house is beautiful. You must have really enjoyed your stay on the island. 16:10 is perfect. The animals, birds and insects add life to the amazing footage. ☺☺
Thank you so much Berina!
@@JoshyByNatureThe pleasure is all mine.
The main issue with Van life in NYC is just parking. Otherwise there's 24hrs businesses like gyms, groceries, public transportation, etc. I would say its only doable in the fall, spring and summers though.
Absolutely! That and just the amount of people all 24hrs of the day. The agony of parking was worth my time living rent free in NYC!
