The mnemonic is "beards good, mullets bad." Draped in front = beard, hanging in back = mullet. The only exception to the rule is if you have a cat that likes to spin the roll.
In a parallel universe you’d think this content nuts. Porsche drifting, over under toilet roll argument, ice bikes, ice roads, slush, smelly town, buffet ratings, hangry shopping, bitumen quality and gravel bags. Not to mention Jess with no pants and Jon measuring a crack. Who knew you guys would hit UA-cam gold with these things. Be safe heading south and look out for one another. Awesome couple 😊
100% John is correct! You want the paper in closest proximity after you're done on the phone and finished excreting your #1's or #2's ! strictly for efficiency purposes Jess!
Sorry Jess, Jon is 100% correct about the loo roll. Such a shame about the ice road but no point taking unnecessary risks,although, 13 years with Jon ……… 😂 thanks for bringing us so many great memories to brighten up our Saturday mornings. Safe travels both 🤞
Yet another brilliant video, you guys are pushing the boundaries of excellence each video. so Jess it pains me to say but Jon is right on the Loo roll. But hey it’s not life threatening 🤣 Stay safe and looking forward to next week’s video 👍🚐
absolutely hilarious, fantastic video sorry Jess I have to agree with Jon on the toilet rolls Also, my husband loves the Info on the gritting road surfaces and gutters have fun and thanks for taking us with you.
Jon boy is 100% correct about the loo roll, and to be honest Jess, that little prank at the end changing the loo roll deserves a week in the sin bin. Another great video with valuable tips. Safe journey guys ❤
Hahaha a debate which is correct... The loo roll or the other one. For me what is important is that there is a tissue paper in the bathroom which can use it anytime. Good thing John that Jess doesn't "grrrrrrrrrr" on you hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was the best episode of the series so far!,John that comedy sketch was brill,love the banter and you need to do more funny things like that!!,Love you 2!!!
Love it,when you were talking about why you argued Jess said the reason you argued was because you are ….then it cut to an ad ,the first words of the ad said ‘the ultimate tool’,Jess do you pick the adds,lol xxx
Photographers have 2 camps for cameras ... Nikkon or Canon sausage sarnies have 2 camps for sauce ... Red or Brown ( everyone knows it's brown.. red is for hotdogs and fish finger sarnies and weirdos ) Bog roll holders have 2 camps .. fringe or mullet. I'm with Jess, it goes on whichever way I put it on much to the dismay of both my wife and daughter who are with Jonno ..It's a fringe. Excellent series ..I've been binge watching for the past couple of days. Heaps of information in these videos, especially the stuff you didn't know until you got there. Have fun kids !
Sorry Jess, but Jon is 100% right about the toilet roll, it’s definitely roll over and not roll under 😂. We were a bit disappointed this week - got all ready for this weeks video and then realised that it was only Friday 🤦♀️🤣. But weekly fix of Trueblue Travellers adventures now complete and our weekend can start. See you next Saturday and thanks for another great video 💙
Another happy Saturday morning with you two 😂 I got that growling comment straight away…..not sure what that says about me as a fellow female 🙈🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣
I’m 100% with Jess on the way paper is hung, spiders n all that. Great to see you two having fun and showing us what travelling in an ex sainsburys van is like. I work for sainsburys so seeing one of our vans converted into a camper brings mixed feelings, I can’t see how you guys managed to fit everything in like the bed, shower and kitchen/living area even after watching the build. Good luck and hope to see more travels in the future.
Thanks very much mate, we are just working out what to do with our next adventure in the sainsburys van and hopefully it will be just as epic as this one, 👌👍
Jess you monster! Toilet roll MUST be hung sheat side out, it's so much more practical. You're sat there a little while might as well use the time to hang it correctly! I may have been known to switch the roll around in other peoples houses when they have it up against the wall 😂
First! 🙂 Me and the Mrs have been watching you folks since the start of the camper conversion, just wanted to say you're doing fantastic and have made some massive strides with production quality etc. Thanks for the amazing content!
Hi you two,you never fail to cheer up my saturday...always put a smile on my face. Can understand the hangry Jess. Just love your banter😊 safe journey south xx
One of my favourite series, I look forward to every Saturday knowing there will be a True Blue Travellers video uploaded. Always reliable providing entertaining & informative content. So happy I came across your channel at the start of the Sainsbury’s van build. Thanks guys!
Yeah I was thinking how cool would it be to have a snow mobile on your travels too, I wonder if u need a separate licence tho or would a car licence from Europe be ok
😂😂😂😂 loved the impression of jess. The toilet roll debate made me laugh, as long as someone remembers to put another nearby when its running low, there's nothing worse than sitting down to 💩 and then running out of paper 😮😁🫶
Hello guys from penzance Cornwall , I have been watching your videos for the past 1 year and so far your channel is my favourite. Both of you are so funny and humble its great to watch you after stressful day at work. The conversion is amazing.
Can't get enough of you two, you're the sunshine on my saturday mornings with your humour and 'out-takes' etc... Thank you soooo much for what you do. On a loo-roll etiquette side, Definitely your flap at the front. ❤
I agree. We’ve actually just been pondering metal guttering. The plastic stuff just isn’t reliable enough. I was wondering what copper would look like, and you saved me having to google it. 👍 Thanks! Looks lush… Bags of gravel and ice depths - also fascinating.👏
When I see “Comments 1k” and scroll down with the speed of a seasoned dating app swiper to see a reply to almost every one, it suggests how awesome and genuine you both are; thanks for sharing your adventures!
Speed of a seasoned dating app swiper 😂😂😂😂 love it, Thanks very much it’s the least we can do for people taking the time to watch and comment on our videos 😊👍
My place is on park4night in Oulu, could have told you where to get some good food, as you were near the best burger place in Finland - Kaupori 5. Pancakes wouldn't have been hangary after eating the meat (veggie option also served there). You should get Lentils (on the chopping board) to do some ice swimming before you leave finland, suggest you go to löylö sauna in Helsinki for that. The smell is the paper factory, depends on the wind. And for the ice road, a fireman died on the oulu ice road in 2022, the machine he was recovering sank through the ice with him. The ice road there hasn't been open for a couple of years (global warming).
I’m not going to lie, one of the reasons we went to Oulu was someone had recommended a pancake shop in one of the old cute red buildings down near the market, got there it was closed down, gutted!! Now I find out there’s an amazing burger place, full blown heart broken. 😂 That’s horrible about the poor fireman. Glad we chose to be safe rather than sorry 💙
@@truebluetravellers as your probably on the way to Helsinki, when you get there, you can see a "Bad Bad Boy (sculpture)" it looks like Jon, if you quint a bit (do an image search, and you will literally piss your sides laughing). If you are ever coming this way again, you're welcome to park up at my place. Had someone drive from Kenya stay last year, and some Costa Ricans the other week.
John, you totally got it when it comes to the temperature, however the humidity is also a major factor. Up north, where the air is dry, -15 feels less cold than -2 in the south costal regions.
It’s funny you say that as now we are home I said exactly that to Jess, even tho it’s mild back home it feels very wet and cold, makes so much difference up north in the dry air
Another awesome video guys and loved watching the content , some great video shots and cool captures of the Porche drift , your creating some great content and we look forward to each week and what's happened in the life of John and Jess , keep it coming
Traveling in a Sainsbury's lorry On an icy trail head full of spanners John met a strange lady she made him nervous She put the loo roll on backwards "Jess comes from a land down under" Cracking video guys amazing journey and can't wait for the next adventure ❤
Perfect relationship, Perfect goals. You are both absolutely amazing. You both shine so much..... the ora you both give is ridiculous great. Keep it up and I will keep watching
Loo roll chat 💪 I’m a plumber and on a mission to rid the world of incorrect bog roll orientation, happily swapping round customers rolls foc that l come across during the working day🤗😘
Hi there ..wow! nice drifters lol! big buck stuff..I guess we vanners had better keep to the roads lol! nice video guys... Regards Jaunti Van Life South Africa,🚐
hello BOTH, what a wonderful place to visit, and the "discussion" about the way a loo roll is to be placed on the holder - something that me and my darling wife share opposite thoughts about it. I like the fact that you do not gloss over your personalities; "what you see, is what you get!" (Lincolnshire saying!!) and best wishes from Lincolnshire - safe travels too!
The issue with the toilet roll, depends if you’re on the move. “No pun intended “ 😂 your correct if the van is moving as it stops it from unraveling, but John is correct if you’re stationary as its easy to use while sitting 🙈. Great vlog as usual 😘
So I have come up with a solution for this 😂, I put a bit of foam through the middle of the toilet roll holder and then put the toilet roll on over it, the slight bit of friction on the sponge stops it from unravelling, not that I’m obsessed or anything 🤷♂️😂
Loved this video - first I've seen of yours. We used to live in Oulu and for a while had a holiday cottage in Ylläsjärvi, not far from Levi. I promise there are many really beautiful places to see there, even during the nasty thaw. Road quality is generally excellent. They keep on top of resurfacing on a rolling programme. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Looking to do the same one day.
Thanks very much Nicki, yeah we were gutted we got there late and in the thaw as I think on another day it would of been lovely to walk round, maybe the row didn’t help too 😂
Another superb vlog, great banter as always. Just a shame your artic adventure is coming to an end. Stay safe and make sure the loo roll is hung Jon’s way….. he’s spot on with that! 😂
So, 183 comments in and only 6 votes (yes, I have counted them) with Jess on the toilet paper. I think we have our answer General! After 13 years John wouldn't have Many years left on a murder sentence. And with toilet roll mitigation for diminished responsibility, he'd justifiably be up for parole now 😂😂. Love your content guys. The argument recreation was hilarious, although I reckon there were probably more expletives on John's side too. TTT, BTW, GTT - Just four days to fill John, then we have a week's worth of vital technical content sorted. Keep up the excellent work you two. Grrrrrrrr! 😂😂
Here in Wisconsin and Minnesota, there are groups that partner with the Department of Natural Resources in their states to maintain snowmobile trails. It also requires partnerships with landowners. But alas, there’s not a lot of snowmobiling going on here right now.
I love the fact you left the "argument" in, real life at it's finest annnnddd, an argument we all have, I get moaned at for not ungluing the first sheet 😂. Your vlogs just keep getting better and better and funnier and funnier and I reckon you've both found your "one" in each other too. Can't wait for next week!
Jon I’m telling you this time next year you will be winning an Oscar with that amazing retelling of the Winter blockbuster hit … The Expletive Ballad of Jon & Jess. it was perfection I didn’t even notice that it was you playing Jess until I got to the end credits and your name was where Jess’s should have been. Bravo Bravo and the Academy Award goes to …………. I just love your twos videos they make me laugh but they also teach me lots of fun facts or travel tips that I did not know. Thank you both so much ❤❤
John, you are right about the loo roll, the direction is shown on the patent. Also love Finland, I work for a Finnish company but home based in UK, been going there on and off since 1991, but never made further North than Vaasa.
Guy's, great vids, and the argument explanation was legendary. I couldn't stop laughing. Keep up the comedy and the fun , it keeps a lot of people smiling .
You are living the dream, and I am very jealous... But at the end of the day you deserve it, you put in all of the hard work building that van out from an empty box. There's nothing stopping any of us going for it... (Except maybe the fact I don't have the wealth of DIY skills and experience, not to mention the tools and knowing how to use them. But that's my own fault, if I did, I'd 100% build out my own van.) So yeh, don't feel bad for us, we make our own paths. I'm just grateful you bought us all along for the ride, I've really enjoyed this series, I've been glued to every episode, and each one has had me in stitches. Thanks guys :) P.s Jon, get your mind out of the 'gutter' ;) Grrrr
Because of you, we are doing a little trip to the north. We are going to visit Denmark and Sweden. Our first to the highlands , planning is already half the fun. 👋🏻
I used to work for Skanska laying asphalt in Scandinavia, their secret to durable roads are "special ingredients" they add to the mixture, these such as graphene enhanced asphalt do help in reducing pot holes but also does come at a cost. (Unfortunately a cost local councils in the UK are not prepared to pay)
Yes Jess you are right about one thing, the Grill Inn is food fantastic. We are lucky enough to go very often, not far from our house. But Jess are you are crazy 🤪 the loo roll must go forward facing, no other way, with my OCD I would have a breakdown 😢😢😢. Safe travels x
😂😂😂😂😂 i think I’ve definitely lost this argument Lisa 🤦♀️😂 but oh yes the food, so good, can’t wait to go back although it’s good we don’t live close to one like you, I’d be there every week 😂
#toiletgate omg, I soooo enjoy you lovely people I've not laugh this much at anyone on YT before, your relationship banter is awesome, and your content is spot on. Utterly brilliant. Oh yeah, camper builds and places to see are great too, almost forgot what we were here for 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jon - if you like your fancy gutters check out Martijn Doolaard. He's doing up two stone roofed barns in the Italian alps. Wooden hand made gutters with copper downpipes - a twofer!

You guys are adorable 👩❤️💋👨How’s Jess the Aussie but speaks better English 😅🤷🏾♂️. FYI Johns going for the Nostradamus policy with jokes 🤣
Imagine having to live with someone putting the loo roll on backwards, you have the patients of a saint Jon!
😂😂😂😂😂 I know 🤷♂️😂
The mnemonic is "beards good, mullets bad." Draped in front = beard, hanging in back = mullet. The only exception to the rule is if you have a cat that likes to spin the roll.
@@fogllama the cat one is a very good point 👌
Johnny was right about the loo roll ❤
Thanks 😁👍
Yep definitely right
Having the loo roll pull from the inside is simply wrong...
Agreed if it hangs by the wall you will have too repaint more regularly. 😅
I think its summed up with the phrase “Beards are cool, Mullets are bad”. Just google image search for a clearer explanation 😂
Anyone who put the toilet roll hanging against the wall is just a crazy person!
Jon definitely right this time.
😂😂😂 yep you know it 👍👍
In a parallel universe you’d think this content nuts. Porsche drifting, over under toilet roll argument, ice bikes, ice roads, slush, smelly town, buffet ratings, hangry shopping, bitumen quality and gravel bags.

Be safe heading south and look out for one another. Awesome couple 😊
Not forgetting Jon being the Gutter Guru 😂

Good thing John that Jess doesn't "grrrrrrrrrr" on you hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Putting the loo roll the right way is a must, the sketch from John was a classic and really funny😂
😂😂 thanks mate 👍
I spent a summer in Oulu/Rovaniemi as a teenager - pretty much 24hr daylight, and can confirm Oulu is a beautiful 'city' without the snow/ice!
That 24 hour sun would be so cool, will have to go back one day for sure
John is my spirit animal 😂. We all wanna be a bit more like John. Great video guys, keep having fun 💪🏻

Photographers have 2 camps for cameras ... Nikkon or Canon
sausage sarnies have 2 camps for sauce ... Red or Brown ( everyone knows it's brown.. red is for hotdogs and fish finger sarnies and weirdos )
Bog roll holders have 2 camps .. fringe or mullet.

Haha that’s so funny about the toilet roll. When my mum visits either my sister or I, she does a “Jess” and turns it around, the wrong way! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 come on mum 🤷♂️
Kitty litter works extremely well if you're stuck on the ice. It's a whole lot cheaper than the crap they sell at the auto part store.
Brilliant tip 👍
Works well as a dehumidifier in caravans, especially over the winter…helps neutralise smells too.
First! 🙂

Moonbike is interesting but snowmobiling is next level. The camper that went by in the background towing a snowmobile trailer is the way to go.

💯% with John on the loo roll sorry general 😅 lol
😂😂 it’s a mutiny!!!
Love the John being Jess scene. Lol😅
😂😂😂😂 was so accurate honest 🤔😂
I’m with you Jess,💯% that’s the only way to do the loo roll.
Get In vince 👍👍👍

On the toilet paper alignment vertical my son put a bathroom in his shop along with a shower to prevent an oil slick from forming in the pool .
What a mess I made of that post can't tell you where my mind was but it was not 100 % engaged sorry you 2 stay safe .
Another superb vlog, great banter as always. Just a shame your artic adventure is coming to an end. Stay safe and make sure the loo roll is hung Jon’s way….. he’s spot on with that! 😂
😂😂 thanks mate, and thanks for coming along with us 👍
Cat litter can also provide some grip when you’re stuck on ice. However with arctic conditions, probably best to carry gravel.
A few people have said this, great little tip 👍
So, 183 comments in and only 6 votes (yes, I have counted them) with Jess on the toilet paper. I think we have our answer General! After 13 years John wouldn't have Many years left on a murder sentence. And with toilet roll mitigation for diminished responsibility, he'd justifiably be up for parole now 😂😂. Love your content guys. The argument recreation was hilarious, although I reckon there were probably more expletives on John's side too. TTT, BTW, GTT - Just four days to fill John, then we have a week's worth of vital technical content sorted. Keep up the excellent work you two. Grrrrrrrr! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 loved this comment Craig 😂😂😂 thanks for the laughs mate 👍👍
Here in Wisconsin and Minnesota, there are groups that partner with the Department of Natural Resources in their states to maintain snowmobile trails. It also requires partnerships with landowners. But alas, there’s not a lot of snowmobiling going on here right now.
That’s brilliant that they do that 👍
Just found your channel, i live in Helsinki. Welcome to Finland 🇫🇮😎
Thanks mate 👍👍
Great vid as usual guys but with Jon on the old loo roll debacle 😂
Safe travels 🚐
😂😂 thanks Maria 😁
I love the fact you left the "argument" in, real life at it's finest annnnddd, an argument we all have, I get moaned at for not ungluing the first sheet 😂. Your vlogs just keep getting better and better and funnier and funnier and I reckon you've both found your "one" in each other too. Can't wait for next week!
😂😂😂😂 what a brilliant point to make, even if you put a new roll on you have to unstick the first sheet too, that’s the rules 👌
Jon I’m telling you this time next year you will be winning an Oscar with that amazing retelling of the Winter blockbuster hit … The Expletive Ballad of Jon & Jess. it was perfection I didn’t even notice that it was you playing Jess until I got to the end credits and your name was where Jess’s should have been.
Bravo Bravo and the Academy Award goes to ………….
I just love your twos videos they make me laugh but they also teach me lots of fun facts or travel tips that I did not know.
Thank you both so much ❤❤
😂😂😂😂 pmsl, laughed all through this message 😂😂👍
John, you are right about the loo roll, the direction is shown on the patent. Also love Finland, I work for a Finnish company but home based in UK, been going there on and off since 1991, but never made further North than Vaasa.
Beautiful place hey, to be honest of the 3 countries I think it surprised me the most, I wasn’t sure what to expect with it really but loved the place
Guy's, great vids, and the argument explanation was legendary. I couldn't stop laughing. Keep up the comedy and the fun , it keeps a lot of people smiling .
😂😂😂 thanks mate 👍👍👍
Brilliant as usual
Thanks 😁👍
You are living the dream, and I am very jealous... But at the end of the day you deserve it, you put in all of the hard work building that van out from an empty box. There's nothing stopping any of us going for it... (Except maybe the fact I don't have the wealth of DIY skills and experience, not to mention the tools and knowing how to use them. But that's my own fault, if I did, I'd 100% build out my own van.) So yeh, don't feel bad for us, we make our own paths.
I'm just grateful you bought us all along for the ride, I've really enjoyed this series, I've been glued to every episode, and each one has had me in stitches. Thanks guys :)
P.s Jon, get your mind out of the 'gutter' ;) Grrrr
😂😂😂😂 you know how much I love the gutters
But thanks very much, such a lovely comment and that’s for coming along the adventure with us 💙
I'm with you Jess on the TP ...😂😂😂😂 Sorry Jon😊 I must say tho' I really liked the copper gutters! Much Aloha! 💖🤙🥰🌈
😂😂😂 beautiful hey 👌
Because of you, we are doing a little trip to the north. We are going to visit Denmark and Sweden. Our first to the highlands , planning is already half the fun. 👋🏻
Good on you guys your gonna love it 👍👍
John, JOHN's way!! I vote
😂😂 he’s very happy in his victory 😂😂
Loving you're volgs enjoy kind regards Mark
Thanks mark 😁👍
I used to work for Skanska laying asphalt in Scandinavia, their secret to durable roads are "special ingredients" they add to the mixture, these such as graphene enhanced asphalt do help in reducing pot holes but also does come at a cost. (Unfortunately a cost local councils in the UK are not prepared to pay)
Ah very interesting that 👍👍
Yes Jess you are right about one thing, the Grill Inn is food fantastic. We are lucky enough to go very often, not far from our house. But Jess are you are crazy 🤪 the loo roll must go forward facing, no other way, with my OCD I would have a breakdown 😢😢😢. Safe travels x
😂😂😂😂😂 i think I’ve definitely lost this argument Lisa 🤦♀️😂 but oh yes the food, so good, can’t wait to go back although it’s good we don’t live close to one like you, I’d be there every week 😂

Jon - if you like your fancy gutters check out Martijn Doolaard. He's doing up two stone roofed barns in the Italian alps. Wooden hand made gutters with copper downpipes - a twofer!
👌👌 sounds beautiful, will check it out 👍👍
John is right about the loo roll.
Good man 👌👍
