Watching this video for the 3rd time, and it hit me. Mike is the Bob Ross of the outdoors, calming, smooth, and friendly. He inspires you to slow down and enjolife.
Mikie reminds me so much of my younger self some 30 years back,except hes good looking,musically INclined,while I'm DEclined,and he's a bit more easy going than I was in my latter 20s and 30s... And all them speed racer fools is going to Starbucks to get their mocha chocha frappe grande latte with sprinkles !
I think it's the ultimate light truck solo camping in the midst of magnificent nature. Even in Japan, we can't really do solo camping like this. Is enviable. Just be careful of brown bears.😃
I’m enjoying the Chanel I love the campers, I do a lot of fishing I’m near 60 years old and what I learned from my elders growing up was it’s called fishing not catching, I cook what catch clean up afterwards, I live in a gem of an island called Ireland 🇮🇪. Love the show
You can use sodium silicate to "heal" the crack. Just create a dam with a putty around the crack end to end and put a piece of hard plastic over that dam. That plastic should have a place where you can put vacuum on it. The vacuum should be just enough to allow you to put enough suction through the crack for the sodium silicate to go inside the crack as you apply it from the other side (with a brush). Heating the glass with a hair drier beforehand also helps.
What a nice adventure!! I don't think those little trucks are for me but it looks like a ton of fun for you and that's all that matters, thank you for sharing
Once again knocked it out the park. Fantastic video mate a nice simple little adventure as it should be, nothing fancy like dramatic thumbnails for clicks. Very unique. From Mike in Wales 🏴 UK
Get one of those claw grabber things to pick up trash, so you don't accidentally cut yourself and get infected, my buddy did that and had to go on antibiotics for 2 weeks.
Beautiful trip. Thanks Mike for taking us along. I really enjoy these videos too. Life is hard and we all need recharging trips like these. And when time is tight I know I can go watch one of your recharging trips and I’m ready again to take on life’s challenges again. 👍👍😎👍👍
As a kid i think big trucks and tires are best ,now 45 years later i know what is "enough for real fun". A small lightweight 4x4 with high groundclearance ,low gears and locker like my LWB Samurai.
I love these videos. Thanks for bringing us along, and I particularly appreciate you setting up the shots so we can see the third person view of you hiking around or the mini truck driving through the woods or on the beach. My Hijet mini truck has been down for almost a month for painting. I painted it outside in October so the days were short and I had a lot of rain and cold weather to dodge. I rolled it with Medium Quartz Gray Monstaliner polyurethane truck bed liner. It looks a lot like your Suzuki. The painting took a lot longer than I thought and I still have some trim to finish underneath. I'll do that late spring when I paint the inside with the third gallon of Monstaliner. I put it all back together today, except for the big plastic front bumper and lights. I sprayed three coats of black Rust-oleum Trim & Bumper paint on the large front bumper today. I'll install that tomorrow. I have lots more on the Mini Truck To Do list, but I'm getting old and I don't get as much done in a day as I did in my 30s or 40s. I keep watching your videos and I'm talking myself into making a foamie fiberglass drop-in camper.
Vid idea! You have a Suzuki Carry and your brother (I think) has the Honda Acty, I'd love to see like a comparison video as to the pros and cons of both. As someone who is debating geting a KEI truck would love to see both of them laid out (especially with your campers, big fan of those!).
Hi Mike, Great Video. Can you post more information about that little Truck? It sounded like it had a little Diesel Engine. I was really impressed with the whole setup. Did you actually build the Camper? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
The Mini Pinzgauer is the Steyer Puch Haflinger, a true purpose built off road beast with a boxer twin in the back, pintel axels and difflocks all round. Very basic military style vehicle with no luxuries at all.
Please make more mini truck videos im currently building mine as of right now. Have spent atleast 2500 in aftermarket stuff I love this thing it’s my daily and only vehicle.
i see you use your phone as speedo. just wanted to mention i've had great luck with a gps speedo i bought on amazon for about $10. definitely helpful when there is no cell reception.
the product is "AWOLIMEI Car Hud GPS Speedometer" its 11.99 now i bought the cheaper one, and it just plugs into USB. my only gripe is the lack of dimming at night, but i threw some tinted film on mine to dim it@@Mikefestiva
Such a joy as always to watch your videos Mike, I especially enjoyed your music too. Has a warm nestalgic 80's synth aesthetic with a calming yet uncertain/haunting tone to it. Do you have more tracks or another means to hearing the entirety of what was showcased in this video?
I am jealous of your mini truck. Here in Ontario Canada insurance don't like them cause of their right hand drive. Insurance want over 2000.00 per year . I would trade my Yamaha Rhino in a heart beat for a kei truck
Mike, You and i think a lot alike as to solitude. Really enjoyed this video to take my mind off of this crazy world. Could not agree with you more regarding everyone in a hurry but I used to be one of them. Always enjoyed your videos with your brother but really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of this video. It was a great change of pace. THANK YOU!
Fishing videos are so fun . If you could find a buddy to go out with you to teach you how I think it would be fun. Maybe just bring your boy. Love your vids brother. Peace ✌🏼
Mike! Great video! For us long time subs you should do an update video on some of the older projects and how they have held up what you use them for! Cheers!
Mike always enjoy your videos. This isnt about this one but a suggestion about moisture elimination with my plasma cutters as I have more than one. I use point of entry Motorgard filters. They remove all the airline moisture as well as any particles down to 5 microns and the elements are easily replaceable and inexpensive. They remove all the moisture and will greatly extend consumable life.. just a suggestion and I use 2 analog pressure differential gages to determine if the filter element needs changing. Flip
18:18 Mike is not one to brag but he did land a 30 inch king on his first troll out! 🙌 Mini trucks, fishing, mushroom foraging, camp cooking, what more can you ask for? Enjoyed the video! 🤙
I think I can see that peek from my house! That means you could probably see me 😂 We went on one quick Chantrelle hunt this season with no luck, but its not over yet! Thanks for being the forest janitor.... these trashy people aren't going anywhere anytime soon....
This Fall I haven’t found as many Chanterelle’s compared to previous years, but like you said it’s not over yet, hopefully we can get a decent amount before the heavy frosts start. I hope all is going good these days for you 👍 thanks for checking out my new video!
Hello Mike, I’m loving the camper you and brother have build. Any plans on releasing a more in depth build video? I’m curious in what materials have been used for the hatches and what was used for outer skin and water tighten. Anyway keep up the great work and keep enjoying the little campers.
Its cool that you've found some nature to drive through. I hope you enjoy these places when dozens of people drive thought them. Then hundreds of people, four wheeling' through that sweet sweet nature. I hope to see the look on your face when thousands of people drive through these same rivers you saw fit to drive through! Enjoy!
This is a state access for a drift boat launch. There’s no reason to be so rude. Maybe put your time into being less pissed off at others and start enjoying like a little more, as far as we know you only have one life so try to enjoy it.
I know the shorter days make people salty, but sometimes, it's best to just delete the comment before you post it. Try it sometime, it gives all the same results as posting without posting. :D
People are impatient. Everything is instant nowadays and it seems to affect people's minds when driving too. I get passed on a double yellow all the time when driving 5 over the speed limit. It's nice to just cruise and enjoy your surroundings.
I think I may try that out! Thanks for the suggestion. I have a tankara for lakes and streams, it’s basically a long thin fly fishing pole without a reel. Probably will get some new gear 😊👍
Mike,great video--any evidence of big foot on your camping travels ? Next time you go to the beach, get a gold pan. You might have more success than with fishing and be more profitable.
This video was therapeutic! Ironically, I was watching it from work haha - There's a really cool JDM Delica camper for sale near me and this video may have convinced me to get it. Thanks Mike
Thanks for checking out my new video Oliver! Hey I definitely recommend looking into Delica problems First online. They tend to have head gasket issues. The reason I mention this is because I spent two full weeks in September helping a friend swap out a diesel engine in a AWD Mazda Bongo camper van that had complete engine destruction from the owner overheating it on a trip. It was an awful awful job that I never wish Upon another person 😂 I know it was a different manufacturer but those engines are so packed in those vans it’s really hard to work on them. Honestly I’m thinking of getting a little 4x4 Ford Ranger truck ( much Cheaper than a Tacoma) and possibly building a small camper like the one I made for my mini truck for the Ford. Light, easy to build and the fact you can buy parts anywhere when your out on a road trip is important. Take care and I’m glad you enjoyed my video 😊👍
It's awesome seeing you make videos of what you enjoy :) Thanks for being vulnerable and putting out new styles of videos and a variety of different stuff :) change is where we grow and I am realizing that if you create from your heart it doesn't matter what the external thinks. I hope you start enjoying making videos again for yourself and let go of the negative happenings from the you tubers. you're out living the dream and sharing your experiences. that's as good as it gets sir. keep up all the rad and thanks for teaching us stuff, all kinds of stuff. forever grateful for your friendship and knowledge of the DIY happenings. Hope to see you sooner than later my friend :) I got a samurai for birthday and It'll be awesome to go for a mellow cruise with you and the Carry once I get it a bit more tuned up. Happy Holidays to you and the Family :)
Thanks Dave! I really appreciate reading your comment 😊 that’s awesome you got a Samurai! I had one years ago. Definitely getting back to enjoying making the videos I want to make. I re watched your 18 mile coastline hiking/surf video a few days back, what an enjoyable video, it really made me Miss the Spring time and hiking, I’m hoping to take Ev on that hike this coming Summer. Take care and I hope to see you soon 👍😊
Very nice, we were on the east side of the Olympics on that same weekend it seems. Keep rocking it Mike and hope to cross paths with you on the trail one of these days.
Love the adventure… Also, I’ve said this before but I love the truck build… Try some spinners on your river fishing adventure next time. Mepps makes one called the XD that I use trout fishing. Pick up a few different colors. I use the all silver, red bead, white tail. It works on just about any species of fish, I know, because I’ve caught plenty of different species on it. Some Rooster tails will work as well. Great video Buddy!! Enjoyed it!!
Are bears a concern at this time of year? Living in Tasmania Aus as I do, is about as far from bears as you can get. We do have devils that will come into camp after dark scrounging any scraps or leftovers but they are only as big as your racoons. Noisy little blighters when they"re fighting but altogether harmless. Hearing them crunch kangaroo bones and the like is pretty interesting.
People who criticise the Suzuki have no idea what they are on about. The great grand daddy of your 4wd Carry was released for sale in Australia around 1974, it was a soft top jeep style utility vehicle powered by a 660 CC 3 cylinder 2 Stroke engine, yes 2 stroke it had an oil tank under the bonnet that needed filling from time to time. The 'serious' 4 wd owners laughed at the tiny little car which sounded like a swarm of angry bees, had a measly 550 pound or so load rating and a cruise speed of 80kmh (50mph). They kept on laughing right up to the point when 4wd was selected and the heavy bulky Toyotas and Nissans of the day would bog down in sand or mud or get stuck on narrow tracks, all the time drinking fuel like no tomorrow. The bastard Suzuki drivers would just drive laps around the bogged Toyotas laughing and beeping their horn. I have total respect for Suzukis, they just do what it says on the packet, with little fuss.
Good eye! I definitely drove some 101 on this trip 😊 I always thought working for the Forest Service would have been a good job path for me, I have had a few friends that worked for the NFS. The NFS on the peninsula doesn’t seem to do much for maintenance on the roads anymore, they seem to be decommissioning a lot of roads. The NFS in the Cascade seem to offer more outdoor recreation with trails and snow parks. Thanks for checking out my new video George 😊👍

You can use sodium silicate to "heal" the crack. Just create a dam with a putty around the crack end to end and put a piece of hard plastic over that dam.

have you thought about putting an awning up on the side of the truck for some more space cheers
Yes a simple Awning is definitely on my list especially going into the rainy season. Thanks for checking out my new video 😊👍
What a nice adventure!! I don't think those little trucks are for me but it looks like a ton of fun for you and that's all that matters, thank you for sharing

Thanks Mike I really appreciate it man 😊👍
Always enjoy your videos Mike, you do the things I wish I had the chance to do! I agree 100% about people in a hurry going nowhere. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Get one of those claw grabber things to pick up trash, so you don't accidentally cut yourself and get infected, my buddy did that and had to go on antibiotics for 2 weeks.
Yes, they sell them at the dollar store and they hold up pretty well for being cheaply made.
Beautiful trip. Thanks Mike for taking us along. I really enjoy these videos too. Life is hard and we all need recharging trips like these. And when time is tight I know I can go watch one of your recharging trips and I’m ready again to take on life’s challenges again. 👍👍😎👍👍

Great job Mike love your content and enjoy the videos also luvin the mini truck keep up the great work
Thanks 👍
We need to raise money so you can drive and camp along the way to deadhorse Alaska! Love the content man! Keep it coming
That sounds fun! 😊👍
Hi Mike, Great Video. Can you post more information about that little Truck? It sounded like it had a little Diesel Engine. I was really impressed with the whole setup. Did you actually build the Camper? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
How do you Slow dòwn drinking COFFEE..LOL😁😙 Nice Rig !! I have driven PINZGAUERS, This little is the Son of PINZ's...right on !!
Right on man! Have you seen my mini pinzgauer build series yet?
The Mini Pinzgauer is the Steyer Puch Haflinger, a true purpose built off road beast with a boxer twin in the back, pintel axels and difflocks all round. Very basic military style vehicle with no luxuries at all.
Please make more mini truck videos im currently building mine as of right now. Have spent atleast 2500 in aftermarket stuff I love this thing it’s my daily and only vehicle.
I built a camper also went with the exact same style. Small and compact and light!
Thanks for the video Mike. I enjoy all your videos and your out in nature videos remind me of why I love living on the Olympic peninsula.
Thanks 👍
日本の軽自動車を好きで乗ってくれている方が世界にいらっしゃるとは嬉しいです。

Yes the little Kei trucks are great 👍 I use mine all the time for moving tools, firewood and my camper 😊
Thanks for checking out my newest video!

You bet and thanks for watching
Nice trip Mike! There's nothing better than a good camping trip.
Living life right, great video Mike
Thanks man 😊👍
Looks great Mike , i can tell you appreciate living somewhere so unspoilt. Thanks for sharing, Paul (UK)
Thanks Paul! Yes I definitely do appreciate living here 😊👍
Thanks for all the great content Mike. I can't wait to build a little camper like yours for my Carry!
Terradactyle hahah that's gold !
That’s what we call GBH on the East Coast too. They make me laugh😂
Great video and great content. I'm curious to know what modification you've made to your HUD. Looks smart. Is it easy to do?
i see you use your phone as speedo. just wanted to mention i've had great luck with a gps speedo i bought on amazon for about $10. definitely helpful when there is no cell reception.
Right on, do you remember the name of the Speedo you bought, I definitely will look them up 👍😊
the product is "AWOLIMEI Car Hud GPS Speedometer" its 11.99 now

Enjoying the mini truck trips 👍
Thanks 😊👍
@@Mikefestiva you have a suzuki carry your brother have a honda acty if you could choose between the two wich one would you choose
amazing truck，really love that style ，Thanks for the video, looking forward to more!
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy the videos. I was wondering how the camper is holding up in the pacnorwest weather. Maybe an update video on the camper???
What's your before and current wheel and tire setup? Loving the kei truck videos from this channel and you're brother's channel as well.
I am jealous of your mini truck. Here in Ontario Canada insurance don't like them cause of their right hand drive. Insurance want over 2000.00 per year . I would trade my Yamaha Rhino in a heart beat for a kei truck
Mike, You and i think a lot alike as to solitude. Really enjoyed this video to take my mind off of this crazy world. Could not agree with you more regarding everyone in a hurry but I used to be one of them. Always enjoyed your videos with your brother but really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of this video. It was a great change of pace. THANK YOU!

Great trip. That KEI truck really is handy.👍
It sure is!
Beautiful vid. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Fishing videos are so fun . If you could find a buddy to go out with you to teach you how I think it would be fun. Maybe just bring your boy. Love your vids brother. Peace ✌🏼
Thanks man! I really appreciate it 😊👍
Awesome video! You got some amazing footage. Good luck with the fishing. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure!
Thanks man! Hopefully I get better luck next time fishing 😂 definitely had a great trip camping.
Mike! Great video! For us long time subs you should do an update video on some of the older projects and how they have held up what you use them for! Cheers!
Will do!
What a great trip in a wonderful season! I'm japanese. You enjoy kei truck I'm so happy!
Thank you! 😃
Looks like a nice camping spot. Should be a lot of wildlife to see. Looks like you could go Sasquatch hunting there.
Mike always enjoy your videos. This isnt about this one but a suggestion about moisture elimination with my plasma cutters as I have more than one. I use point of entry Motorgard filters. They remove all the airline moisture as well as any particles down to 5 microns and the elements are easily replaceable and inexpensive. They remove all the moisture and will greatly extend consumable life.. just a suggestion and I use 2 analog pressure differential gages to determine if the filter element needs changing. Flip
18:18 Mike is not one to brag but he did land a 30 inch king on his first troll out! 🙌
Mini trucks, fishing, mushroom foraging, camp cooking, what more can you ask for? Enjoyed the video! 🤙
Thanks Mark! And thanks for getting me into fishing again 👍😊
Enjoyed this one, it’s good to take time for yourself like this.
Absolutely!
That scenery is just amazing.

I love these kei truck camping videos! keep them coming!
Thanks 😊 I appreciate it!
How are the forceum tires are holding up after some time? How are they on slick/wet roads, also how is the road noise?
Hello. I binged a few of your vids, and I’m really enjoying them. I do wish you made an entire video on the camper build.
People are impatient. Everything is instant nowadays and it seems to affect people's minds when driving too. I get passed on a double yellow all the time when driving 5 over the speed limit. It's nice to just cruise and enjoy your surroundings.
It's Mike vs Jurassic Park!!! Mike i love fly fishing on rivers. Seems to make life a little easier in moving water.
I think I may try that out! Thanks for the suggestion. I have a tankara for lakes and streams, it’s basically a long thin fly fishing pole without a reel. Probably will get some new gear 😊👍
Thanks for another great video Mike. Love the cooking.
Thanks! I really appreciate it 😊👍
Good Life
Good track👍🏻
God this channel is the bloody BEST!!!!! always so stoked watching your vids mike
Right on! Thanks Josh 😊 I really appreciate it man 👍
I'm love seeing the truck run, and I'm on the hunt for my first Kei truck
Nice 👍 what brand do you think you will buy?
I'm getting a hijet, with pto dump A/C, 4wd, 5speed, and diff lock, it might take awhile, but it willbe worth it @@Mikefestiva
wow very interesting experience friend
Love it bro! More vids with you camper truck! 🙏🤙🇵🇭

Have you ever been told that you look like the cameraman from groundhog day (in the nicest way possible)
You dress better, and are likely better at dancing. Not a comment on your coolness, which is certified (for the record).
Lol those tetradactyls out there sounds just like the ones back here in Arkansas

Mike,great video--any evidence of big foot on your camping travels ? Next time you go to the beach, get a gold pan. You might have more success than with fishing and be more profitable.

Thanks for checking out my new video Oliver!
Hey I definitely recommend looking into Delica problems First online.
They tend to have head gasket issues.
The reason I mention this is because I spent two full weeks in September helping a friend swap out a diesel engine in a AWD Mazda Bongo camper van that had complete engine destruction from the owner overheating it on a trip.
It was an awful awful job that I never wish Upon another person 😂
I know it was a different manufacturer but those engines are so packed in those vans it’s really hard to work on them.
Honestly I’m thinking of getting a little 4x4 Ford Ranger truck ( much Cheaper than a Tacoma) and possibly building a small camper like the one I made for my mini truck for the Ford. Light, easy to build and the fact you can buy parts anywhere when your out on a road trip is important.
Take care and I’m glad you enjoyed my video 😊👍
@@Mikefestiva ahh interesting thanks for the heads up! This specific one is a 1995 Mitsubishi JB500 , I think it has a 4D56 diesel with 23k miles

People who criticise the Suzuki have no idea what they are on about. The great grand daddy of your 4wd Carry was released for sale in Australia around 1974, it was a soft top jeep style utility vehicle powered by a 660 CC 3 cylinder 2 Stroke engine, yes 2 stroke it had an oil tank under the bonnet that needed filling from time to time. The 'serious' 4 wd owners laughed at the tiny little car which sounded like a swarm of angry bees, had a measly 550 pound or so load rating and a cruise speed of 80kmh (50mph). They kept on laughing right up to the point when 4wd was selected and the heavy bulky Toyotas and Nissans of the day would bog down in sand or mud or get stuck on narrow tracks, all the time drinking fuel like no tomorrow. The bastard Suzuki drivers would just drive laps around the bogged Toyotas laughing and beeping their horn. I have total respect for Suzukis, they just do what it says on the packet, with little fuss.
Just living the dream. Not a jealous person but.... Keep up the great content.

1 or 101 ? I grew up in Bellevue and spent 30 years in the forest service but didn`t spend much time on the peninsula. Except some motorcycle rides.
Good eye! I definitely drove some 101 on this trip 😊 I always thought working for the Forest Service would have been a good job path for me, I have had a few friends that worked for the NFS. The NFS on the peninsula doesn’t seem to do much for maintenance on the roads anymore, they seem to be decommissioning a lot of roads. The NFS in the Cascade seem to offer more outdoor recreation with trails and snow parks. Thanks for checking out my new video George 😊👍
