I mean, most probably no one is out in the wild. Just animals but they can’t enter anyway. Also back in the military we used to sleep in a sleepingbag under those tarps / rainproof camoflage covers tied to a tree which had NO cover at all. You could see in and see us sleeping and even touch us if you wanted but nothing ever happend.
You should get some surveillance camera installed around your van so you can have something to look at during the night and prepare yourself instead of second guessing if someone is out there ;O
@@jadrickmorrison126 but i guess, it is like this, if you act something, then you soon become like that ...... like if a introvert starts acting like extrovert, then soon that will be natural not an act ........ so i guess if he acted in begining, he might be now really enjoying this
I can't see how people are doing this. Camping in their vans all in the woods, and in some of these national parks. I'm hearing stories about dog men and bigfoots out in these national park forest and in the woods in general! I just couldn't do it! God keep these people safe!
Being a former Police Officer & I've seen it all, I would have a shade on all your windows to pull down, because criminals are everywhere, they will kill you for your Van, whatever they can get, I would definitely not travel this country without a gun and on me at all times. Also check out the 911 missing series of videos, people disappear without a trace even search dogs can't track them. But your really risking you & your dog's life without fully protecting yourself, I would also stay indoors locked in at a place like that after dark, eventually the odds are against you if you do it often enough to run into the wrong person or gang or whomever.
It's called 411 missing, by David Palides. And your right. He camps very dangerously. The cooking with his back towards the entrance was nerve wracking. But he may find out the dangers, If he doesn't become more careful.
@@helenbradford2569 No curtains or shades on the windows at night is what freaks me out. All my windows get covered up as soon as it starts getting dark. I think I have this phobia because of a story that happened to my mother, she said it was after midnight and she was getting ready for bed when she noticed her window shades were not pulled all the way down so she went to the window and peeked out and looked right into a man's face looking in at her. That story terrified me almost as much as the incident terrified my mom.
@loisaustin6200 Oh my goodness. That's as frightening as people seeing Sasquatch in the window. I read a story of a person being stalked by a Bigfoot in their cabin in Canada. It kept looking 👀 through the windows. I agree. Always have window coverage. And I'm sorry your mom went through that.
So, I’ve camped in the bed of my truck in some super sketchy places. But, I have one time that still gives me chills and I still can’t explain. This is long so bare with me. So I’m a hunter and I have a property I hunt about 2 hrs away from my home. One Friday me and my cousin drove up for a evening and weekend hunt. When you arrive at the property, you have to take a dirt road to a trail that leads you a mile back in the woods to a creek. From there you hike a half mile to stands. So we hunt, hike back, cook dinner, and go to bed. About 2am my cousin wakes me to footsteps outside the truck. But normally hearing scuffle outside is no big deal, but this was human steps. Now on top of my camper shell I have off-road lights around it. I was about to cut them on when my cousin stopped me and said let’s not draw attention to the fact someone is in the truck just yet. We got tapping on the window and crunching of leaves of something walking. Now we are spooked because whoever this is has no light and it’s pitch black back in those woods at night. So we sit frozen, pistols in hand, waiting for whoever it is to go away. About 30 min goes by, no sounds whatsoever. We are thinking he must be gone till we hear a child say “hello.” Me and my cousin look at each other acknowledging the fact we just both heard a freakin child. At this point we think is this a child lost and they found the truck? So I say “hello” and get nothing but silence. At this point we are freaked out! We sit there for it seemed like forever but about 10 min passes and then we hear a kids voice say something else but we couldn’t make out what it said but we heard crying. So at this point we are thinking a kid has to be outside the truck and as dads we got concerned. At this time we hear the footsteps coming up the side of the truck again. So I hit the lights expecting us both to see a kid standing there to see nothing. We both got out of the truck and started looking around saying hello with no response. About a year ago we came across a old farmer when we were coming out from putting up cameras and got telling him the story. He told us there is a story of a kid that drowned in the creek back when it was much deeper water many many years ago. Of course that spooked us, but we never found anything confirming the story. So now when we go hunting down there we just say high to jack, a name we made up, and tell him goodnight. We have never experienced him since. But that has to be the scariest time I’ve ever had camping in the truck.
You should keep your windows covered and if you hear something, just hop in the driver’s seat and speed away. Funny about the donkey. But leaving your door open isn’t great. And protect your doggie too.
This guy is crazy, his window open so anyone could see inside his van. He is not even trying to.protext himself and his dog he keepa.his door open at night.
@@angelapietras1235 Crazy dog owner detected. Dogs are actually much better than human in self defence. They will run so fast that you will never see them again.
Well, you should have insulating blackout window coverings that you put on at night and when you are away from your van. People can look in and see your computer. They will break in and steal your things.
I'm sure you've been told this, but they say if people like to listen and watch you, you have the talent to be an actor. It's so much fun watching you.
Have you considered getting some solid black shades for the windows at night? Also maybe some spotlights on the perimeter outside the van that you can turn on with a switch from inside? You should definitely be carrying some sort of protection too. Hope you're at least doing that. Much love from Boise
DUDE! I had nearly the same experience as you. Remote hot springs in Nevada, in the spring, wild donkeys waking me up at 3am. Only difference was I was in a tent, absolutely freaking out. That was such a crazy night!
I from Nevada and even as a local i can say the desert is one scary place at night! To many stories i could tell haha. Used to live in a mining town with population of maybe 1.9k people in the middle of Nevada and even walking home from a friends house after dark is scary as hell haha. Small story! My friend was at my house all night and around 11PM his mom calls the house and no one is there but someone answered the phone with a voice she never heard before. Then called my friends cellphone and we went back to his house with a baseball bat at like 11:30PM and the house was still locked and no sign of force entry.
Hey man nice content, just an advice if you see anything in the woods that's not suppose to be there, do not acknowledge its existence, close up your van and if possible leave that area....
@@nlrenzo9432 Generally what I am referring to is ghost. If you see any best ignore, as once they know you can see them they'll tend to follow you and disturb you further. One may or may not believe in it's existence, personally myself I've had quite a number of encounters till it's hard to ignore it's existence. Mayhaps in western nations it's not that bad in terms of haunting , but here in South East Asia, they're almost everywhere. Hence it's a good survival tip when you're camping in the woods alone.
@@Zuriki_ I wish :') if 1 person is experiencing I would put it as imagination but if a whole group sees it or camera captures it clearly I won't place it as simple "imagination" not too sure on how ghost acts in Western nations ...but in South East Asia they are not shy to literally appear and there's ways to call upon them.
@@SlowRkers yeah that is what some ghosts wants you to think,they makes you think that you are imagining when they arent since the others cant see the ghosts.
i just wanna say you are fun as hell!!! i'm alone in my office it's getting dark the street is lonely and i feel like i have constant company listening to you!
Years ago, I was on a family trip into the mountains of Washington. We made our way up this mountain somewhere near the border and found this perfect camp spot that looked very much like yours. It's late at night and I wake up to the sound of someone trying, yanking on the door handles of the car, like pulling and then letting it slap back. There was no one there, there wasn't much of a breeze and we were in the middle of nowhere. In fact other than the noise of the doors being tried it was dead quiet. You'd have to use some force to physically pull the door handles. Passed out again at some point and woke up to an absolutely gorgeous view. Walking around the campsite, on the edge of a slope I found a small circle of poured concrete with a name as well as a birth and death date. There was no doubt in my mind that someone's ashes were intentionally placed here in this beautiful spot.
@@abdullahal-shimri3091 people with “real jobs” & “real homes” get killed, raped, robbed & kidnapped too. And his job is real too, he probably makes more than you with less effort while living his dream life 😅. He gets paid to be him & He can have everything you have in your “real house” 😂. You people that live in the matrix are so funny to me 😂😂😂😂😂😂! The only difference is you sleep in your “real house” and he sleeps in a “real” van 😂
Oh man, this video was really entertaining! It was both fun and a little scary and i must say that there is something so cozy about your videos and i love it! Keep up the great work!
The thing that i find is whenever your camping in a Tent, Van or Trailor and you hear noises while your trying to sleep in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere all you wish for is for the Noises to stop, but then when those noises actually stop you start to wonder why it stopped. And start thinking whatever was making these noises earlier is right there just listening or sitting there being quite and then you start wishing for the noises to come back and then hear the sounds walk away and its like this endless cycle of fear and curiosity
Over the top animated but good thing is you have calmed it down and it’s way more tolerable for first-timers in watching camping. I guess I was board tonight! Love you Trent, irresistible.
Sounds scary. When something like that starts happening cause somebody that's how people disappear and nobody knows where they were or what was happening.
I'm armed anytime I'm solo camping or backpacking anymore. I've had no paranormal experiences, all my issues have come from extremely unhinged humans. Great video, you have a new subscriber now.
You should put mini motion spot lights around your car so that way it’s illuminated when you’re outside in the night and you’ll be able to see whatever might be causing motion in future scenarios. And maybe also get insulated window covers, I just started looking at van life videos tonight so I’m not too sure so do you, doing a great job so far
I bought a great cam from Amazon for under $30. It has an option to set the motion light whenever there is motion or you can turn it on if you want a better look at what's going on outside. It also has an alarm feature too..if you really want scare someone or something off.
I went out to the NV desert at night once to try to see and eclipse or something. Can confirm it gets literally pitch black out there. My biggest concern wasn't people but actually coyotes sneaking up.
@@Lunarstruck1 They can definetly bite you, im sure. But for the most part I dont think they'd wanna fuck around cause otherwise they're fixing to taste some brass than
Hands down or hands up whatever you wanna call it. Out of all the amazing videos you've done so far, this is my all time favorite. I dont know. I just know you had me in stitches with this one. When you were talking about the leaves and lit them and then said "Let the world burn" I was dying. You're energy Trent was off the charts and very appreciated. Keep up your good work. Safe Travels🩵🤍🩵🤍🩵🤍🩵🤍🙏🏼
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I subscribed at the first one I watched. So this video was enjoyable and I'm sure that rest are as well. Thanks for putting them out there for our entertainment.
Middle of nowhere, Arizona desert - I remember I had found one of those high powered headlamps (Atomic beam) - no batteries and the switch didnt work. Someone lost it or tossed it, idk. As the sun was going down I set about fixing it. I finally got it done and it was fully dark out. As I panned my surroundings with my new weapon, I was amazed at how many sets of eyes I saw watching me.
Great content man. I woke up this morning going down the rabbit hole on UA-cam looking up scary van stories lol and this came up. You know how to tell a story and are funny as hell especially with your editing.
in order to protect yourself my dude you need to have a surveilance camera installed on your van and a hunting rifle to boost your confidence during the night.
Ok, now I am spooked too...! @ 13:28 - After you say, "Hello!" again & you pan your camera back to the left, if you look closely, you can see a Misty Orb flying from between the trees in the background (to the left of the closest tree & to the left of that tiny light in the background) & your firepit 🔥 coming straight towards YOU!!! OMGosh! And how you go back to your fun-loving, cooking, eating-SELF is BEYOND ME🤤 YOU'RE JUST SOOO BRAVE, HONEY❣
Lol being a Nevada boy born and raised i loved hearing your encounter with a donkey, i saw three donkeys walking together through a small town years back and its a beautiful site to see cause it was a small family pack the dad mom and baby donkey walking infront of our car it was unreal and beautiful.
It's part of being by yourself, you have a dog so he will alert you to anything well before you know about it... Stay safe this worlds becoming S*&t fast
Wish I could have met someone like you in my 20s 😂❤ your literally living my dream, and I can definitely vibe with your personality! Great videos wish nothing but the best for you!
So, you like fake actors that make money off people for pretending like the woods is dangerous, when it's actually the large cities.... Rethink your life.
You made me laugh 😂 but please get covered window material for your windows at night you can’t see out there anyway but there’s no sense of somebody watching what you’re doing from the outside.
While houseboating at Lake Cumberland, we were boarded late, late at night while we were all sleeping by a band of thieves that stole a case of beer (hot commodity in a dry county) and a cooler of food while we watched helplessly from behind the locked glass door, which they would try occasionally. They wore masks and boarded us while we were tethered offshore in the middle of a remote side channel, miles from anything. Worse, they disabled the radio so we couldnt call for help. One of them cracked a beer and just sat there at the door, staring at us and guzzling beers. They held 8 very scared adults hostage for over an hour, then slipped away into the night as quietly as they came, shimmying along the line that tethered the boat to shore and vanishing into the pitch black night. This is why we don't feed raccoons, people!
I love to re-watch these videos from time to time ,,,i still enjoy this same as the first time,,,,Trent just has this personality people just love,,,i hear noises at pitch black ,,that you never hear sitting on your front porch
New to your channel. You are a friggin riot. I couldn't stop laughing. You have such great energy. Your van is so gorgeous with the color of wood you chose.. just beautiful. Stay safe. Much love from maine.
Started watching you last night and you brought my spirits up from feeling kind of low. I laughed out loud. Today I see you’re a fellow WoW head and I’m certain now that I’m a fan ❤.
Not everybody has to have their gimmick to pimp themselves out to make money on UA-cam.But this guy's got a dial down a lot and it needs to be talked about
Dude the part when you sit in front of the open door, I was thinking like "Someones gonna drag him out of there to the dark" for the whole time, how didnt you freaked out?
while you were sitting inside your van talking about the spooky desert, i kept expecting a pair of glowing eyes to open in the distance beyond your campfire
National Forest = Quiet and calm. Your intro alone most likely PISSED off any Sasquatch that are local. 😆 Be safe out there!! Hope you carry protection with you while out in the bush, ALONE! 😮 Merry Christmas!!! You crack me up!
Question: Did you ever get to an accident with this van? How many times did the van break down as well if any? How did you manage to work through the problems the van has gone through if you are in the middle of nowhere? Could you answer this questions in either a reply or video, because I always wondered about these issues you might have gone through.
He probably hasn't tbh I just think since he's also a content creator he would of put it in his videos like "Van breaks down or Van crash" you know at least that's the same for other vantubers that have posted videos about their accidents
I loved this, getting to hear your story, you showed us what you cooked, got to see the cute pup. 😍 perfect. I wanna see more food you like cooking in the van!
You should get a collapsible wagon that will store away easy. This way when leave camp you can load up all kinds of things and simply roll it back. I'm putting collapsible wagon in my list of things needed for van life.
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for Campers, Hikers, Explorers, and Travelers* I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your UA-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others UA-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their UA-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission. Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger *vehicle battery jumper cables *Vehicle Jumper cables *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER* *vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions. Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months. Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle. If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating. Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures. Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks. Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive. What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed... *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful Keep a First Aid kit with Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration. Consider installing; *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle. Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights. *Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others. *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking. Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. *VERY IMPORTANT* *WINTER AWARENESS* I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services. Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines. *Your Safety is Important* *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start. Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing. Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle. Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold. In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead. *Safety is Paramount* *Your Life is Important* *You want to Live to Travel another Day* *So Be Safe* *Stay Alert* *Keep your vehicle gas filled* Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty. Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant, Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze). You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads. *WINTER AWARENESS* In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions. Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions. Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving. Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.

You're a very exciting youtuber. I love the content of all your videos I''ve already seen. I laugh lot of times and watching more your old videos while you're away.

@@beccafitz22 We just say "tabi tabi po" for us to have an excuse/concent nor manner for the spirits to use thier area and to respect the nature. 😊 "Tabi tabi" means Excuse, and "po" is a filipino word to have a respect to others and elders.
@@jankarlgalleros7825 this is so interesting. Thank you so much for explaining. That makes perfect sense. You’re showing respect towards nature while doing what’s natural.
Came across your channel in my feed. I'm a totally different (and older...lol) kind of person than you, but you are entertaining as heck. hahaha... When you thought you heard something/someone outside I imagined you jumping out looking crazed with eyes bulging like a werewolf and howling with your "do" and all. 🙂 That would likely send them packing... Kidding aside; great channel. Subscribed. Edit to add: You really make your van a genuine "home" with the "10" level of comfort and utilization of your van to the fullest. Very nice to see.
One time, I was working late at school (teacher-life), and it was REALLY, REALLY windy outside. It was about 10pm or so, and I hear this loud BAM!!! on the metal roof just above my classroom. I danged near pee'd my pants. I said OUT LOUD, "Screw this! I'm going home!" I packed my junk up and left. The following night, the same BAM!!! happened again and just about at the same time. I got up out of my chair, packed my junk and left. I know metal roofs expand and contract, but the BAM!! sounded like someone had bounced a giant basketball on the roof above my classroom. Another night, some days later, it was windy again. This time, I had parked on the art patio outside the back door of my classroom. After the Parkland shooting, we had to put up a fence around our school, so I had to open up the gate and drive out, then close the gate. When I got back in my car, a gust of wind hit my car so hard that it shook the vehicle as if someone had run up and slammed into my car. Mind you, this was late at night too. I'm like, FAR OUT!, what the heck was that and started looking around. I didn't see anything. My heart was beating fast and I left the school. I still stay late working on stuff, the metal roof pops and BAMs!! I get scared and jump. It's made scarier when I listen to people on UA-cam talk about their Sasquatch encounters and how the creatures press their faces up on the window trying to look inside their homes. I guess I'm one of THOSE PEOPLE. Take care and be safe out there. 🤗
That lazy boy recliner has all the hallmarks of young lads being spook trolls to freak out future campers, lol. Kind of reminds me of the staircases in the woods stories.
You should install some blackout curtains over your windows (fairly simple thing to do). One design I recently saw was using a bug screen that came down from the top and latched to the bottom for when you want the window open, and a blackout curtain that pulled up from the bottom and latched to the top when you want some privacy. That, along with installing some dot security cameras around your van so you can see without having to open the windows. Might also want to get some window covers for the front of the van if you don't have some already. (Or perhaps a partition/ door between the living area and driving area) Just a few things I would do if I were living like this to make myself feel more comfortable :p (assuming previous comment was deleted due to links to specific items I found :P.)
HAHAAA HA HAA aaa! This was frikin hilarious! I like this side of you, being sort of a dork, and really naturally funny. You made me laugh out loud several times, especially the frikin random recliner. You should have kept that. I'm glad you have Millie to protect you in the scary places. The donkey made me laugh too. I needed this today, been feeling too alone, for too long now and it's getting to me.Have you thought about getting blinds or curtains on the windows?
The amount of different voices and accents he used throughout this video kept me watching more than wanting to watch the scary parts lol this guy is a comedian I love him!! Lol ❤ BTW this is the first “vanlife” video I’ve commented on bc of how entertaining he was lol
I like horror stories it's good for when I want to go to bed and can't sleep I immediately grab my headphones and open UA-cam to your channel and I fall asleep.
I no he likely did sound effects and is well hyper but genuinely any Woodlands is going be very Haunted amount of murders, attempted murders, suicides fatal or not forgetting animals and humans camping and just passing away for no reason etc etc where I use to live in West Sussex our local Woodland was extremely Haunted you could just feel the presence of ton of eyes in every direction watching oneself scary as anything but there was absolutely no negativity what so ever felt to calm and friendly except for one part of the Woods that my Dog refused point blank to go near like the very vengeful pure nasty evil Malevolent violent Ghost we had in our extremely Haunted House you could smell the negativity before you seen black mass it smelt much worse than sulphur and rotten eggs combined you would also see the black mass crawl on the celine in our house it got so violent the Priest who Blessed house several times said its getting far too violent and dangerously unsafe told us all to camp down the stairs in Living Room only place it didn't go in to I'll never forget it I'm very Spiritual Staunch Catholic I believe in life after death, Angel's etc I helped many friendly Spirits go towards light with my late Aunty but I can't deal with violent Malevolent Poltergeist even with Benedictine Crucifix and Medallions evil Spirits hate anything Benedictine. Friendly Ghosts I can deal with but not evil Ghosts defiantly not not just because there so unpredictable and don't no if there going punch, hit, throw things even bodies they have serious attitude problem so many fake Ghost Hunters mess with them in wrong way ie seance and ouiji boards. Any way back to video about 20 seconds before you mentioned the sound effects there was Orbs going diagonal closer to left side of the camera also at that point was when dog senses it and looked out door it was friendly if it wasn't you would soon no about it as the dog would have huge meltdown and scream blue murder with his or her hackles right up animals are more sensitive than humans depending on the individual off course, if anyone is going to Haunted location and no something sinister and nasty happened there get some Benedictine Crucifix and Medallions have them Blessed by Catholic Priest also ask for Holy water and if oneself is Religious normal Crucifix and or statue of Blessed Virgin Mary above your bed and ask God at bedtime Prayers to remind the Angel's that watch over us to be extra vigilant and protective it works I've done it hundreds times
the fact that he has no blinds or that he doesn’t cover his windows at night is crazy
Fr tho. He is so brave yet i think he is not thinking about it
true
Right!
I mean, most probably no one is out in the wild. Just animals but they can’t enter anyway. Also back in the military we used to sleep in a sleepingbag under those tarps / rainproof camoflage covers tied to a tree which had NO cover at all. You could see in and see us sleeping and even touch us if you wanted but nothing ever happend.
YEah that wouldn't work for me!
He is the only person who hears stuff outside, gets scared as hell and yet still leaves the van door open!! Thats insanity to me!!
Better than “ghost hunters” going on paranormal investigations to look for 👻 they instantly run the other way from.
LMAO
@@mistrjt9213 yes and yvette fielding in most haunted screaming her bloody head off at every tiny noise!!!!
😂🤣🤣😂 Yvette Fielding's screams would wind up the spirits the wrong way. Her screaming is definitely a turn off.

You should get some surveillance camera installed around your van so you can have something to look at during the night and prepare yourself instead of second guessing if someone is out there ;O
Agreed.
Yeah he should have two fish eye camera and put them in a spot that sees both sides and another one
U probably don’t want to watch what the camera caught. Ignorance is bliss lol.
naw than you spend time on them , just a 5$ door bell sensor will do the trick
Thats actually a really good idea tho.
I love the fact that it's just him and his dog but the energy he has and excitement is incredible!
thats called acting to make money off you
@@jadrickmorrison126 👈 that’s called being negative just because you want to be
His dog would tell him if there was anyone out there.
@@jadrickmorrison126 but i guess, it is like this, if you act something, then you soon become like that ...... like if a introvert starts acting like extrovert, then soon that will be natural not an act ........ so i guess if he acted in begining, he might be now really enjoying this
I can't see how people are doing this. Camping in their vans all in the woods, and in some of these national parks. I'm hearing stories about dog men and bigfoots out in these national park forest and in the woods in general! I just couldn't do it! God keep these people safe!
Being a former Police Officer & I've seen it all, I would have a shade on all your windows to pull down, because criminals are everywhere, they will kill you for your Van, whatever they can get, I would definitely not travel this country without a gun and on me at all times. Also check out the 911 missing series of videos, people disappear without a trace even search dogs can't track them. But your really risking you & your dog's life without fully protecting yourself, I would also stay indoors locked in at a place like that after dark, eventually the odds are against you if you do it often enough to run into the wrong person or gang or whomever.
It's called 411 missing, by David Palides. And your right. He camps very dangerously. The cooking with his back towards the entrance was nerve wracking. But he may find out the dangers, If he doesn't become more careful.
Well said
Thank you for your service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@helenbradford2569 No curtains or shades on the windows at night is what freaks me out. All my windows get covered up as soon as it starts getting dark. I think I have this phobia because of a story that happened to my mother, she said it was after midnight and she was getting ready for bed when she noticed her window shades were not pulled all the way down so she went to the window and peeked out and looked right into a man's face looking in at her. That story terrified me almost as much as the incident terrified my mom.
@loisaustin6200 Oh my goodness. That's as frightening as people seeing Sasquatch in the window. I read a story of a person being stalked by a Bigfoot in their cabin in Canada. It kept looking 👀 through the windows. I agree. Always have window coverage. And I'm sorry your mom went through that.
So, I’ve camped in the bed of my truck in some super sketchy places. But, I have one time that still gives me chills and I still can’t explain. This is long so bare with me. So I’m a hunter and I have a property I hunt about 2 hrs away from my home. One Friday me and my cousin drove up for a evening and weekend hunt. When you arrive at the property, you have to take a dirt road to a trail that leads you a mile back in the woods to a creek. From there you hike a half mile to stands. So we hunt, hike back, cook dinner, and go to bed. About 2am my cousin wakes me to footsteps outside the truck. But normally hearing scuffle outside is no big deal, but this was human steps. Now on top of my camper shell I have off-road lights around it. I was about to cut them on when my cousin stopped me and said let’s not draw attention to the fact someone is in the truck just yet. We got tapping on the window and crunching of leaves of something walking. Now we are spooked because whoever this is has no light and it’s pitch black back in those woods at night. So we sit frozen, pistols in hand, waiting for whoever it is to go away. About 30 min goes by, no sounds whatsoever. We are thinking he must be gone till we hear a child say “hello.” Me and my cousin look at each other acknowledging the fact we just both heard a freakin child. At this point we think is this a child lost and they found the truck? So I say “hello” and get nothing but silence. At this point we are freaked out! We sit there for it seemed like forever but about 10 min passes and then we hear a kids voice say something else but we couldn’t make out what it said but we heard crying. So at this point we are thinking a kid has to be outside the truck and as dads we got concerned. At this time we hear the footsteps coming up the side of the truck again. So I hit the lights expecting us both to see a kid standing there to see nothing. We both got out of the truck and started looking around saying hello with no response. About a year ago we came across a old farmer when we were coming out from putting up cameras and got telling him the story. He told us there is a story of a kid that drowned in the creek back when it was much deeper water many many years ago. Of course that spooked us, but we never found anything confirming the story. So now when we go hunting down there we just say high to jack, a name we made up, and tell him goodnight. We have never experienced him since. But that has to be the scariest time I’ve ever had camping in the truck.
Thats really scary!!
What if that was a real kid and that he was searching for help and was probably chased by someone and they took him hence why he was crying

You should keep your windows covered and if you hear something, just hop in the driver’s seat and speed away. Funny about the donkey. But leaving your door open isn’t great. And protect your doggie too.
This guy is crazy, his window open so anyone could see inside his van. He is not even trying to.protext himself and his dog he keepa.his door open at night.
Protect your dog first.
@@angelapietras1235 Crazy dog owner detected. Dogs are actually much better than human in self defence. They will run so fast that you will never see them again.
It's stupid, really.
@@HeheBOiPadhle please closed your car door
Well, you should have insulating blackout window coverings that you put on at night and when you are away from your van. People can look in and see your computer. They will break in and steal your things.
I'm sure you've been told this, but they say if people like to listen and watch you, you have the talent to be an actor. It's so much fun watching you.
Have you considered getting some solid black shades for the windows at night? Also maybe some spotlights on the perimeter outside the van that you can turn on with a switch from inside? You should definitely be carrying some sort of protection too. Hope you're at least doing that. Much love from Boise
DUDE! I had nearly the same experience as you. Remote hot springs in Nevada, in the spring, wild donkeys waking me up at 3am. Only difference was I was in a tent, absolutely freaking out. That was such a crazy night!
Got a good film for you if haven’t already seen it Dog Soldiers 🐺
I from Nevada and even as a local i can say the desert is one scary place at night! To many stories i could tell haha. Used to live in a mining town with population of maybe 1.9k people in the middle of Nevada and even walking home from a friends house after dark is scary as hell haha.
Small story! My friend was at my house all night and around 11PM his mom calls the house and no one is there but someone answered the phone with a voice she never heard before. Then called my friends cellphone and we went back to his house with a baseball bat at like 11:30PM and the house was still locked and no sign of force entry.

It’s crazy that no matter where you are doesn’t matter if it’s seculded. Something or someone is always out there watching you .
Hey man nice content, just an advice if you see anything in the woods that's not suppose to be there, do not acknowledge its existence, close up your van and if possible leave that area....
What is not supposed to be there? And why not acknowledge it? I’m actually curious.
@@nlrenzo9432 Generally what I am referring to is ghost. If you see any best ignore, as once they know you can see them they'll tend to follow you and disturb you further. One may or may not believe in it's existence, personally myself I've had quite a number of encounters till it's hard to ignore it's existence. Mayhaps in western nations it's not that bad in terms of haunting , but here in South East Asia, they're almost everywhere. Hence it's a good survival tip when you're camping in the woods alone.
@@SlowRkers Don't worry ghosts are a product of our imagination ;)
@@Zuriki_ I wish :') if 1 person is experiencing I would put it as imagination but if a whole group sees it or camera captures it clearly I won't place it as simple "imagination" not too sure on how ghost acts in Western nations ...but in South East Asia they are not shy to literally appear and there's ways to call upon them.
@@SlowRkers yeah that is what some ghosts wants you to think,they makes you think that you are imagining when they arent since the others cant see the ghosts.
i just wanna say you are fun as hell!!! i'm alone in my office it's getting dark the street is lonely and i feel like i have constant company listening to you!
how are you today?
Years ago, I was on a family trip into the mountains of Washington. We made our way up this mountain somewhere near the border and found this perfect camp spot that looked very much like yours. It's late at night and I wake up to the sound of someone trying, yanking on the door handles of the car, like pulling and then letting it slap back. There was no one there, there wasn't much of a breeze and we were in the middle of nowhere. In fact other than the noise of the doors being tried it was dead quiet. You'd have to use some force to physically pull the door handles. Passed out again at some point and woke up to an absolutely gorgeous view. Walking around the campsite, on the edge of a slope I found a small circle of poured concrete with a name as well as a birth and death date. There was no doubt in my mind that someone's ashes were intentionally placed here in this beautiful spot.
Washington is pretty wild
that's fucking crazy, so someone tried to break in but stopped and buried someone's ashes where you were camped?
@@mosasa1307 no it was probably something else. Maybe the ashes have been there for a while now
@@arrexu01 On a second read.... yeah, that kinda makes sense. Very ominous, almost like whoever (might have) ended that person came back...
@@mosasa1307 it honestly felt like the spooky story was a separate story to the ashes one

@King King Cuteness overload.
@@j.j.8741 Each to their own, I suppose.
The thing that i find is whenever your camping in a Tent, Van or Trailor and you hear noises while your trying to sleep in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere all you wish for is for the Noises to stop, but then when those noises actually stop you start to wonder why it stopped. And start thinking whatever was making these noises earlier is right there just listening or sitting there being quite and then you start wishing for the noises to come back and then hear the sounds walk away and its like this endless cycle of fear and curiosity
haha yeah, i though exactly the same! it's kind of paradoxum, but otherwise it also makes quite sense. 🤣
Over the top animated but good thing is you have calmed it down and it’s way more tolerable for first-timers in watching camping. I guess I was board tonight! Love you Trent, irresistible.

I'm armed anytime I'm solo camping or backpacking anymore. I've had no paranormal experiences, all my issues have come from extremely unhinged humans. Great video, you have a new subscriber now.
Easily one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen in my life. This doesn’t have enough views. This channel is top of the line.
You should put mini motion spot lights around your car so that way it’s illuminated when you’re outside in the night and you’ll be able to see whatever might be causing motion in future scenarios. And maybe also get insulated window covers, I just started looking at van life videos tonight so I’m not too sure so do you, doing a great job so far
I bought a great cam from Amazon for under $30. It has an option to set the motion light whenever there is motion or you can turn it on if you want a better look at what's going on outside. It also has an alarm feature too..if you really want scare someone or something off.
I went out to the NV desert at night once to try to see and eclipse or something. Can confirm it gets literally pitch black out there. My biggest concern wasn't people but actually coyotes sneaking up.
If you're in a vehicle that shouldn't be a problem, and you are in the coyotes home, so its not like they're the ones sneakin' about.
Coyotes ain't going to do nothing unless you are a toddler. They are beyond cowardly
Coyotes won't hurt an adult

Middle of nowhere, Arizona desert - I remember I had found one of those high powered headlamps (Atomic beam) - no batteries and the switch didnt work. Someone lost it or tossed it, idk.
As the sun was going down I set about fixing it. I finally got it done and it was fully dark out.
As I panned my surroundings with my new weapon, I was amazed at how many sets of eyes I saw watching me.
that is creepy...
Great content man. I woke up this morning going down the rabbit hole on UA-cam looking up scary van stories lol and this came up. You know how to tell a story and are funny as hell especially with your editing.
in order to protect yourself my dude you need to have a surveilance camera installed on your van and a hunting rifle to boost your confidence during the night.
A hunting rifle in such a confined space? 🤣

@ 13:28 - After you say, "Hello!" again & you pan your camera back to the left, if you look closely, you can see a Misty Orb flying from between the trees in the background (to the left of the closest tree & to the left of that tiny light in the background) & your firepit 🔥 coming straight towards YOU!!!

While houseboating at Lake Cumberland, we were boarded late, late at night while we were all sleeping by a band of thieves that stole a case of beer (hot commodity in a dry county) and a cooler of food while we watched helplessly from behind the locked glass door, which they would try occasionally. They wore masks and boarded us while we were tethered offshore in the middle of a remote side channel, miles from anything. Worse, they disabled the radio so we couldnt call for help. One of them cracked a beer and just sat there at the door, staring at us and guzzling beers. They held 8 very scared adults hostage for over an hour, then slipped away into the night as quietly as they came, shimmying along the line that tethered the boat to shore and vanishing into the pitch black night.
This is why we don't feed raccoons, people!

Question: Did you ever get to an accident with this van? How many times did the van break down as well if any? How did you manage to work through the problems the van has gone through if you are in the middle of nowhere?

You should get one of those little red wagons, or something similar. You can use to haul bundles of firewood like that one, you found.
I love camp life too but not alone like you . There's no way I'm camping alone by myself. It does creepy in the middle of the night.
Did you change your filming gear recently? I love the sound quality of the forest ambience!!
Nope! Just sprinkled in some extra movie magic in there :)
I loved this, getting to hear your story, you showed us what you cooked, got to see the cute pup. 😍 perfect. I wanna see more food you like cooking in the van!
You should get a collapsible wagon that will store away easy. This way when leave camp you can load up all kinds of things and simply roll it back. I'm putting collapsible wagon in my list of things needed for van life.
this is literally me cooking in the middle of the night and talking with myself to stay cool
*Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for Campers, Hikers, Explorers, and Travelers*
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
Although, I just noticed your UA-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others UA-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their UA-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER*
*vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions.
Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months.
Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle.
If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating.
Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures.
Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks.
Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive.
What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed...
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
*Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
Keep a First Aid kit with
Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration.
Consider installing;
*Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
*Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle.
Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights.
*Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights

Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
*WINTER AWARENESS*
I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services.
Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
*Your Safety is Important*
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
*Safety is Paramount*
*Your Life is Important*
*You want to Live to Travel another Day*
*So Be Safe*
*Stay Alert*
*Keep your vehicle gas filled*
Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
*WINTER AWARENESS*
In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature

This is totally gonna me in a few days on my 1st solo with my dog!!!! This is officially my favorite camp video!!!!
How was it
Did they get you?
@@darioandstuff2061 I survived. Fortunately the 65lb barking psycho deterred anything with a sense of survival in a 3 mile radius from coming anywhere near me. We had a great time and i went back the following weekend for a second round!

@@allergic2bull Nice! Glad u had a blast
you need to do daily vlogs, it will be so interesting or livestreaming in different places while you driving
yes broo it will be so awesome
Love your channel. It's my feel better and good healing help. Truly, thank you for what you do. If it heals and helps me, it is certainly helping other. Please give Milly a big hug.☺
You're a very exciting youtuber. I love the content of all your videos I''ve already seen. I laugh lot of times and watching more your old videos while you're away.
Wow. This video was a little freaky , but really entertaining .Love the set-up in your van. Looks so neat and organised .👍💯
Here in Philippines, when your in the woods or forest. Whenever we have to go call of nature or pee. We just say "Tabi tabi po". Its our culture 😊 Just sharing. Hehe
Do y’all say this to scare off “spirits”, or does Tabi tabi po actually mean pee or poop? Blessings from Texas USA!
@@beccafitz22 We just say "tabi tabi po" for us to have an excuse/concent nor manner for the spirits to use thier area and to respect the nature. 😊 "Tabi tabi" means Excuse, and "po" is a filipino word to have a respect to others and elders.
@@jankarlgalleros7825 this is so interesting. Thank you so much for explaining. That makes perfect sense. You’re showing respect towards nature while doing what’s natural.
I like how you two work as a team.
Totally cool.
Came across your channel in my feed. I'm a totally different (and older...lol) kind of person than you, but you are entertaining as heck. hahaha... When you thought you heard something/someone outside I imagined you jumping out looking crazed with eyes bulging like a werewolf and howling with your "do" and all. 🙂 That would likely send them packing... Kidding aside; great channel. Subscribed. Edit to add: You really make your van a genuine "home" with the "10" level of comfort and utilization of your van to the fullest. Very nice to see.
One time, I was working late at school (teacher-life), and it was REALLY, REALLY windy outside. It was about 10pm or so, and I hear this loud BAM!!! on the metal roof just above my classroom. I danged near pee'd my pants. I said OUT LOUD, "Screw this! I'm going home!" I packed my junk up and left. The following night, the same BAM!!! happened again and just about at the same time. I got up out of my chair, packed my junk and left. I know metal roofs expand and contract, but the BAM!! sounded like someone had bounced a giant basketball on the roof above my classroom. Another night, some days later, it was windy again. This time, I had parked on the art patio outside the back door of my classroom. After the Parkland shooting, we had to put up a fence around our school, so I had to open up the gate and drive out, then close the gate. When I got back in my car, a gust of wind hit my car so hard that it shook the vehicle as if someone had run up and slammed into my car. Mind you, this was late at night too. I'm like, FAR OUT!, what the heck was that and started looking around. I didn't see anything. My heart was beating fast and I left the school. I still stay late working on stuff, the metal roof pops and BAMs!! I get scared and jump. It's made scarier when I listen to people on UA-cam talk about their Sasquatch encounters and how the creatures press their faces up on the window trying to look inside their homes. I guess I'm one of THOSE PEOPLE. Take care and be safe out there. 🤗
That lazy boy recliner has all the hallmarks of young lads being spook trolls to freak out future campers, lol. Kind of reminds me of the staircases in the woods stories.
10:15 scared me for sure. Didn’t expect that lol 😂
I just started following you about a 2 months ago and I'm watching your older content and it's funny to see this version of you lol
Same here. He was too much lol. It’s kinda hard to watch compared to his current videos where he’s much more chill. Borderline cringe lol
Am I the only one who isn't scared of the noise out side because I was looking at the delicious food Trent made? 😅
Yes you are the only one 🤬🤬
@@govind5937 damn ok why are you so mad about that? 😳
@@Introverted_plant Because you ate talking anything s**t, which don't make any sense
@@govind5937 first of all its related and second of all get grammerly
You should install some blackout curtains over your windows (fairly simple thing to do). One design I recently saw was using a bug screen that came down from the top and latched to the bottom for when you want the window open, and a blackout curtain that pulled up from the bottom and latched to the top when you want some privacy. That, along with installing some dot security cameras around your van so you can see without having to open the windows.
Might also want to get some window covers for the front of the van if you don't have some already. (Or perhaps a partition/ door between the living area and driving area)
Just a few things I would do if I were living like this to make myself feel more comfortable :p
(assuming previous comment was deleted due to links to specific items I found :P.)
HAHAAA HA HAA aaa! This was frikin hilarious! I like this side of you, being sort of a dork, and really naturally funny. You made me laugh out loud several times, especially the frikin random recliner. You should have kept that. I'm glad you have Millie to protect you in the scary places. The donkey made me laugh too. I needed this today, been feeling too alone, for too long now and it's getting to me.Have you thought about getting blinds or curtains on the windows?
This was the scarcest story I've heard in a while! A must watch! I was not expecting that!
how can this dude stay funny and energetic when its creepy
ITS GOING TO BE SOOO TIGHT. I have not heard some one use the word tight in so long. that really took me back. keep up the kick ass content sir. 🤘
You made your 17:04 min video seem short and sweet. I love your personality and good content! Very enjoyable! I’m subscribing for sure
The vibes went from immaculate in the beginning to immapoopmapants
The amount of different voices and accents he used throughout this video kept me watching more than wanting to watch the scary parts lol this guy is a comedian I love him!! Lol ❤ BTW this is the first “vanlife” video I’ve commented on bc of how entertaining he was lol
I like horror stories it's good for when I want to go to bed and can't sleep I immediately grab my headphones and open UA-cam to your channel and I fall asleep.
Most of the time, basic meals are way better then we ever expect
13:45 scared the shit out of me... I'm freaking watching this at night in bed in the dark. Entertaining video nontheless!
I no he likely did sound effects and is well hyper but genuinely any Woodlands is going be very Haunted amount of murders, attempted murders, suicides fatal or not forgetting animals and humans camping and just passing away for no reason etc etc where I use to live in West Sussex our local Woodland was extremely Haunted you could just feel the presence of ton of eyes in every direction watching oneself scary as anything but there was absolutely no negativity what so ever felt to calm and friendly except for one part of the Woods that my Dog refused point blank to go near like the very vengeful pure nasty evil Malevolent violent Ghost we had in our extremely Haunted House you could smell the negativity before you seen black mass it smelt much worse than sulphur and rotten eggs combined you would also see the black mass crawl on the celine in our house it got so violent the Priest who Blessed house several times said its getting far too violent and dangerously unsafe told us all to camp down the stairs in Living Room only place it didn't go in to I'll never forget it I'm very Spiritual Staunch Catholic I believe in life after death, Angel's etc I helped many friendly Spirits go towards light with my late Aunty but I can't deal with violent Malevolent Poltergeist even with Benedictine Crucifix and Medallions evil Spirits hate anything Benedictine. Friendly Ghosts I can deal with but not evil Ghosts defiantly not not just because there so unpredictable and don't no if there going punch, hit, throw things even bodies they have serious attitude problem so many fake Ghost Hunters mess with them in wrong way ie seance and ouiji boards. Any way back to video about 20 seconds before you mentioned the sound effects there was Orbs going diagonal closer to left side of the camera also at that point was when dog senses it and looked out door it was friendly if it wasn't you would soon no about it as the dog would have huge meltdown and scream blue murder with his or her hackles right up animals are more sensitive than humans depending on the individual off course, if anyone is going to Haunted location and no something sinister and nasty happened there get some Benedictine Crucifix and Medallions have them Blessed by Catholic Priest also ask for Holy water and if oneself is Religious normal Crucifix and or statue of Blessed Virgin Mary above your bed and ask God at bedtime Prayers to remind the Angel's that watch over us to be extra vigilant and protective it works I've done it hundreds times
It is, surely, very brave to stay in the forest at night.
I heard a lot of creepy stories about such journeys.
Make more videos about your risky life.
You are a really nice story teller!
🤣🤣🤣aww Millie trying to help you .Dude, Van life IS an adventure 🚐 safe travels ✌️
it's a good thing your earing is a cross, when or if demons or ghosts attacks. you have protection from the lord.
your face looking at the window like thewimage you put would be an alternative thumbnail! holy f i jumped in that part lol.
