Mate, you look exactly like your father @TA Fishing, Mr. Graeme Pullen (nota bene, angling genius!). You even speak in the same manner. I subscribed to your stories when I saw you one day on his channel. I lost my father when I was 12, and never have had a chance to experience things as you do. Watching you, gentlemen, is therapeutic. Thanks.
I wish eco flo sent me one , I had to pay for my own 😕 They must have a big advertising budget as nearly all of my favorite van build/ wild camping / bushcraft creators have been sent them
Hi Mike Get yourself a digital meat thermometer - less than £20 and it takes all the guesswork out of cooking on lesser used camping gear. Also great for open fire cooking.
Just catching a glimpse of your oldest walking by made me feel old as dirt man 🤣Us long time subs remember your announcement about being a new dad, and now she's a little person strolling around. Crazy how the years have gone by.
Portable AC that runs for 4 hours on low, costs a fortune, and needs pipes running everywhere. Jeez, just run the van's AC for 10 minutes, it'll cool way faster, will use minimal fuel at idle, and doesn't need pipes running around the cabin. Talk about a solution to a problem that doesn't exist 😅. Oh, and those knives look awesome, but for the love of God get them on a whetstone 😄.
Excellent. Would definitely love to know more about your VW. Maybe a vid with Camperkings to explain a bit more about buying one? I would find that incredibly useful as I hope many others would. Than you.
Thank you Mike for another really cool van camping overnighter. The walk in the video showing wild edibles inspired me to do some research and so I found out that dock seeds can be harvested and ground into homemade flour.💡
That EcoFlow Wave 2 thingy, does not appear to be efficient. The hoses go through the windows but there is a substantial gap as it is not fully closed. This does not hermetically seal the vehicle. It's like having the fridge slightly open. They should have a floor sliding option vent system for that! Just Saying!
Purchased the Echo Flow Wave 2 and it was terrible! - so loud and didn't cool my T6 at all. Trying to return it was so tricky with EcoFlow customer support about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Avoid it like the plaque
I miss you building a shelter in the woods adding on to it and camping. Cooking over a fire pit. Bushcrafting. Van camping is ok, safe and pretty surroundings.
Love the video and your van, Mike. It's very similar to ours and we also enjoy van camping. My favourite van gadget is the RidgeMonkey grill pan for making toasties or cooking bacon and eggs. Maybe try spraying WD40 or GT85 around the base of you front swivel seat to make it easier to turn. Now I'm going to check out your other channel. Keep the videos coming...
The one warning I would give with your conversion as it is still in manufacturers warranty. A lot of systems on your van have fuses boxes and wiring looms that did run underneath the passenger seat.. As it’s now been converted to a Captain’s chair the manufacturer is unlikely to pay out for any repairs that involve wiring etc in that area!
And here's me thinking my two clip-on rechargeable fans for £7 each from B&M were more than adequate when I crack both front windows a bit and maybe the side window if not. Silly me, I've been doing it wrong for the last year and a half.....
I got rid of mu pop top VW camper after two andca half years because I couldn't do with all the fafing around that you are doing in this video. I loved the van and driving it was brilliant but getting the roof up and down, getting the bed made and put away, having a sit down wash in the van, no loo. Constant worry of theft of my Honda generator and Alpicool box, it all became too much. So to all you aspiring van campers, think long and hard, it's not all jam and Jerusalem!
Sorry Mike I didn’t like this one, it was like one of those commercials that are trying to sell you something. You are loosing your credibility doing things like this but I suppose you have to put this rubbish out to get free £1500 gifts from your sponsors. I have followed you for many years but will be unsubscribing if you put more like this out.
For someone who has a fan on overnight, that 9 hours on the Ecoflow wouldn't get me very far. Just looked them up....Almost £1000 for 9 hours of run time on the lowest setting? Count me in! Yes, that was sarcasm to all you Americans.
What An Ignorant Statement, Without Having The Knife In Your Hand How Could You Possibly Know That? It Looked Like It Was So Sharp And Mike Could Obviously Tell That So He Was Being Extra Carful As To Not Cut Himself. Do You Really Think A Company Would Send Knives Knowing That Mike Would Feature Them On His Channel To Be Seen By LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND HAVE THEM BE DULL? GTFOH!
TA, This camper van is beautiful... im wondering if you ever got into van conversions? I love that stuff. Is this a van that was purchased as a camper already, or is it converted?? TA, I've been subbed and watching your videos for nearly 4 yrs now, and it reallllly had gotten me thru the covid shutdown. I watched your outdoors tutorials to feel I was out in the forest too! You, by far, have the most even keeled persona throughout all the years or successful channel building, and by far, are the top tier bushcraft channel!!!
Great video Mike 👍👍. I've been camping "sort of " for the last 6 years. As I live in a 34ft fith wheel trailer, just me & my buddy Toni 🐕 . Out here in B.C 🇨🇦.
Another interesting video Mike, funny you should mention the Jurassic park tree scene. In 2018 I was on holiday in Hawaii and we visited the ranch where it was filmed. We had a photo taken in font of that log from the scene you were on about. They also filmed the Godzilla film there and you drive past the massive foot print in the ground.
Great device but that price is spicier than your burgers 😂 Personally I'd still go for a tray of ice and a cheap fan but each to their own 😊 Full tour would be great up to you which channel though ha
Mike great video as always - just curious, how do you stop the air from coming in the van when there is a huge gap where the vent for the AC unit goes out? Is that just left open - or is there another attachment?
Dull knifes and burnt food, apparently anything goes when you are out camping 😅 Edit: Oh this is just an ad for the cooler? Wondered why you would bother with this awkward machine...
Smart to have a family van outfitted worthwhile investment for camping & SHTF Especially!! "BOND CAMPFITTERS" , as it were. Hi Hi been missing you all been trying to catch up been thinking of you all making shout outs to bush crafters homesteaders and Preppers on my new channel had to do it kind of thing really I threw you some love with own slides/ shorts 😎✝️🙏💜🕯️🔮🧩🧩🪚🪓🪤🌲🌳🌴🍁
A thousand pounds to have a 1 degree difference ...... was slightly intrigued in this till I looked at other reviews online , I have air con at home , it is what it is, they cain electric and there's no miracle technology out there to provide an eco version that works !
Watch more Van Camping videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLxnadpeGdTxAIt-bvxrBXCFJ9IDO-2iFy.html
19:43 I would like to see more history videos of WWI 1914-1918 and WWII 1939-1945

I like you being creative, your family's fortune will be smooth, everyone will be healthy and safe 🎉🎉😂
Please do a full tour of the van as it looks really nice and Im currently looking at doing a conversion
YES PLEASE! A full tour video of the van and model of Volkswagen please!👍👍
Would love too see a full tour of your van Mike. I'm looking to do one myself
Mike you are so blessed to have that vw camper van, i like this series .
I wish eco flo sent me one , I had to pay for my own 😕

Times gone fast!
Thank you for the great video today as well. I am also a small camping UA-camr in Korea. I'm always rooting for you😊😀🙌🎉
I would honestly watch anything you post. Your voice and accent is soothing to me.
Yes to the van tour video

Anybody know what a Hob actually is? A shelf inside a fireplace. With that in mind .....an Aston Martin must be a Horse... ox, mule
Beautiful van. Great to be traveling, & out in nature. Will check out your other channel.
Very impressive van there Mike, love the sleep system. Oh and thanks again for signing my lads hat at the festival. Cheers dude. 👍🏻🔥
Thank you Mike for another really cool van camping overnighter. The walk in the video showing wild edibles inspired me to do some research and so I found out that dock seeds can be harvested and ground into homemade flour.💡
Yes please, we love our van camping 🏕
I've just spent a week in cairngorm national park tent camping, down along the river dee. Beautiful place
Good to see you back Mike 👍

Awesome Mike … we got our dub now buzzing ..cheers Chris & Sam
Thanks for the ecoflow demonstration! Been needing something for OTG 5th wheel. Your environment very similar where I live all the way in Oregon.
A whole new world of cool
stuff !! 🎉
I'm planning to do this one day with my renovated double decker bus (Alexander Dennis)
I think the wild herbs are giving you hallucinations 😂 jurassic park!
blimey that seat mechanism is a ballache! mine just has a lever and it spins.
Thanks Mike! 😁👍
Purchased the Echo Flow Wave 2 and it was terrible! - so loud and didn't cool my T6 at all. Trying to return it was so tricky with EcoFlow customer support about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Avoid it like the plaque
I also like a van camping video Mike 👍
You do like your coriander, don't you? 🤣I will be looking for that chilli flake rub. Looks good. Thanks for another great vid 😉
It 96f 36c here today - your temp sounds a lot better! Lol
I miss you building a shelter in the woods adding on to it and camping. Cooking over a fire pit. Bushcrafting. Van camping is ok, safe and pretty surroundings.
I do this a lot more in the autumn months. As it’s not so hot and bugs are not as bad. More of that type of content to come soon
That onion prep had me on the edge of my seat .
Are you being forced to do these?

Lets play an ecoflow drinking game
Definitely nicer than my 1973 VW van I had. ;-)
VW VANS HAVE COME A LONG WAY.
Camping in an original VW camper van does have it's charm, though.
(O, by the way, YELLING IS RUDE ON THE INTERNET AS WELL. Sorry 😉)
@@MrLBPug NOT YELLING BUDDY. THIS IS HOW THEY SET UP MY COMPUTER SO I CAN SEE. IF YOU ANT ME TO PUT CAPS ON IT WILL BE HUGH.
It is my ultimate dream to own a camper van someday. Videos like these help keep me motivated.
11:50 Humans we are strange. We love pink inside cooked beef, but if we see pink inside our chicken . . .
Really enjoyed watching great set up with yummy food

Where did you get your thermometer? It looks smart and suits the colours well, picking up my grey VW camperking in a few weeks
One might argue that there is some covert advertisement in this video.
we need a full tour of the van
Great video nice van a tour would be nice.
Nice and relaxing video.. Too bad the vw camper is not sold in the USA. Would like to get one.

Is it really so bad for someone to want to make money💀 jesus bro chill
Tony, my guy, it's his channel. He can do what he wants on HIS channel, so unsubsidized if you want, he doesn't care.
Time to wait for Steve to show up in the comments! 😂
Yeah right. Ok mate
Super Van Camp a pleasure to watch in full..
That's an interesting looking AC. Great to see you back out in the van. A full van tour would be great on "The Life of Mike".. 👍👍
£1000 that ac is a joke
Dude i love your channel, much love from the corn state of ohio
Cheers!

Yes, that was sarcasm to all you Americans.
TIL Americans apparently don't know what sarcasm is
Those knives didn't look up to much. It was struggling to cut the onion.
Did look rather blunt

I'd love to see you do a video with your family
What happened to the "British Military Truck for camping" - did you convert it to a VW?
carbon monoxide alarm should be low close to the ground because that gas is heavy.
Quality as always !🤘
What's the brand of the swivel base mate?
That's what I call "roughing it" 🤣
only a British man would put that little of seasoning on his meat. Jokes aside love your videos.
Did you get another new van? It looks like the same van
Thank you for one more great video!
Thanks!
Hi I love your vids I'm big fan
TA, This camper van is beautiful... im wondering if you ever got into van conversions? I love that stuff. Is this a van that was purchased as a camper already, or is it converted??
TA, I've been subbed and watching your videos for nearly 4 yrs now, and it reallllly had gotten me thru the covid shutdown. I watched your outdoors tutorials to feel I was out in the forest too! You, by far, have the most even keeled persona throughout all the years or successful channel building, and by far, are the top tier bushcraft channel!!!
Haven’t seen that old military vehicle in a while 🤨
That’s because it’s been in the garage getting all manner of things fixed! Video update coming in the next week on life of Mike channel

I love these videos Mike :) I love your van :) I have had mine 5 years an I love it \m/dublife🤙
I also love how you edited out the pain of spinning the seats lol 😂😂
Great device but that price is spicier than your burgers 😂
Personally I'd still go for a tray of ice and a cheap fan but each to their own 😊
Full tour would be great up to you which channel though ha
Hello from Vorarlberg Austria 🇦🇹
My only question is how is this is any way shape or form stealth camping?😅
Kind regards Leopold 🤗
Was wondering that myself...
Sounds more adventurous and risky and therefore entices viewers. It's not stealth at all.
Mike changed the title in the mean time. It's now 'van camping' and not 'stealth camping' 😅
@@MrLBPugwell he's trying to make me look like I'm lying 😭
@@LeopoldElwes No, you're not, because I saw the original title of the video as well. And it's still mentioned in the description 😉
Good my friend_____👍👍
Mike great video as always - just curious, how do you stop the air from coming in the van when there is a huge gap where the vent for the AC unit goes out? Is that just left open - or is there another attachment?
The windows in the morning... do they fog up much or did the Ecoflow keep the humidity down enough to avoid that?
Isc yhat on your homestead that your campaign
lol...your Paleo instincts will come out ran so fast over every obstacle, it would seem like you have 10 legs...lol.
very good,,,,,,,,amazing
I loved this vlog. More like this please✌
Love the videos featuring the Campervan, Mike. Much more of these please.
Knives are a bit over the top for a camper van, sneaky bit of advertising tho.😩.
Dull knifes and burnt food, apparently anything goes when you are out camping 😅
Edit: Oh this is just an ad for the cooler? Wondered why you would bother with this awkward machine...
Love to see what a psychiatrist makes of that scenario 😂😂😂 20:49

That knife is pretty dull. They're dangerous when they're dull.
