Kudos to Will for policing the area and picking up litter. Litterbugs ruin it for everyone.
Will you deffo need a firestick to help you watch the football, get in touch with me if you want some info
@@TheGreatEmigrate lol
Wear gloves when you litter pick but yes kudos to you.
Big up the litter pickers!!
@@TheGreatEmigrate How do we get in touch with you?
As a 24 year old HGV driver your videos are great company and really keep me entertained while away from my family for weeks at a time , you have inspired me to convert an old Renault traffic and go out on trips with my little brother and mum when back from the continent in the lorry and have made some great memory's for us
Thanks Will all the best from Dublin port Ireland
Could you invite Will over to the Emerald Isle and show him how hospitality is done.
Is Eire okay for the van life?
Here’s a good cooking tip:- Always sauté your onions first, then add other items like peppers, then your chicken etc
Great tip I would add if you have fine cut onion and rough cut onion the fine cut adds to thickening the sauce.
5:20 Its based on how the water flows, if its upstream it's where the water came from, downstream is where the water is going.
If your asking how do you tell throw something in the water and whatever way its starts to float thats downstream
Depends if the river is tidal... in which case the above is not true
Will, (for me anyway), you absolutely nailed this video. We've had it all!!! Singing!! Cooking! Paddle boarding!! Football !! Litter picking! Absolutely love this video mate. You seem a different person and this is something that proves to everyone out there who feels down every now and then that there is light at the end of the tunnel, just ride the storm, you'll get there! Keep em coming!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for this lovely comment 🤘🤘
Up/downstream = direction the water is travelling. If travelling with the flow, you're going downstream; if travelling against the flow, you're going upstream. Also, left/right bank are usually defined when travelling downstream too (so left hand bank is the bank on your left when you're travelling with the flow of the river).
Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that. It's not always following the direction of the stream. It's not true for tidal streams and rivers. You could go downstream, but against an incoming tide.
@@sevmato Indeed, but I don't believe the river in the video was a tidal river. I perhaps should have specified a freshwater (non-tidal) river in my original comment.
@@sevmato Very good point.
In this case it’s all academic because that isn’t a river it’s a ditch. 😂
Great vid Will really enjoyed the content and so pleased to see you embracing vanlife. Onwards and upwards!
It's so important to take care of your mental health, and you sharing that you see a therapist is just so good. I have anxiety. The therapist I am currently seeing is such a great fit. I am myself for the first time in so long. So great to see you enjoying life. I have nothing but appreciation and admiration for you. So many suffer in the shadows. Bringing this subject of anxiety and depression into the light and showing how you cope and now have your enjoyment of life back is vital.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Stay hydrated and well
Sitting down to Sunday lunch, could do with something to watch.... perfect timing and perfect watch 👍
Once again watching your content from an M1 services, heading home from working on my project narrowboat, love your vids man👍
Great video Will, good to see you happy and chillaxed
Thanks Sharon 💜👌
Excellent again, you look so happy doing this.
Can't wait for the next one, everyone is enjoying this. 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏
Will…it’s great to see you doing so well!…enjoying your alone time and having fun…brilliant to see…loved the Video and thanks for tidying up the litter left by others…good for you…Brian.
I stole yo man sis he enjoying alone time w me. 👩🏿👩🏿🤰🏿💅🏼
What a wonderful and lovely content especially when you were kayaking while singing in the jungle that’s my favourite part of the video.
Hey buddy, great to see you out and about. Love your content chap. Best wishes to you.
So nice to see you out and enjoying the Van, also seeing your MH on the up. Incidentally we met on coral beach last summer on Skye whilst u were with charlie and lauren. Gave you all some places to vist there and in the lakes where im from. Looking forward to the next video x
Great video Will. You are living my dream! Van life and SUPs. Get
Yourself to the coast for some Coastal Paddleboarding. Woolacombe and Combe Martin are gorgeous in Devon 👌🏼👌🏼
Great video Will, really enjoyed the content again.
Great Video again Will, we loved Buxton 😎Steve & Anne IOW
Good to see u coming back to your old self .....
Happy will is better lol mary looks good have u polished her .. . Keep that smile going buddy .stay safe from me in ireland have good week look 4ward to nxt vid
Hi Will, good to see you enjoying life and all that it brings. Upstream & Downstream is current, the direction of flow, watch the water flow, if you are paddling against the current you are paddling upstream, paddling in the same direction that the water is flowing, is paddling downstream. You didn’t mention it, but washing down from the back of the van, 👍👍👍. you have come a long way since you started the build. Keep sharing. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👍😎
Exactly, but it didn't look like much current there though.
I'd also say that going North was up and South was down. :)
Mary has come a long way and it's so good that it all just works now! Brilliant stuff Mate.
Thanks Moe, Mary has come along I’m really pleased with her 😊
Another great video. Cheers!
Well done Will on another successful ‘Stealth Camp’, we love the way you always keep Mary tidy and clean. Steve and Anne IOW 😎
Love a clean van 🚐
Brother good to see you so positive stay blessed!!!!
Thank you 🙏 ✌️
Fab video as always mate, keep safe
Thank you, appreciated 👍👍
AcousticVet said it well. To know which way you are going, stop paddling and bring the raft to a dead stop. Then see which direction you are moving. That will be downstream. Thanks for sharing this camping and cooking video. Have a great day.
Thanks for the information 😃
Good vid. I need to change my van set up. Life looks easier in yours. Chopped out my fixed bed and put in a rock amd roll. Looks good, comfy sleeping but pain in the arse for cooking and watching telly and stuff. Looking forward to your next tw@😄.
Good stuff mate glad to see your still smashing it
Thank you Joe 🤘
Litter pick. Best bit ever. Respect.
Good afternoon Will. Hope you are fine this days. It's nice to see that you take your time to make some real dinner. I hope your sky is blue this days. Love from Norway
Thank you, I hope you also have a wonderful day 🙏👍
I'd love to go paddle boarding! Look like a great hobby to have! 😊 hope your feeling better mentally Will! 💕
It’s an amazing experience on the board! 😊😊
Nice one will. Ah mate, that looked so nice, nice park up, good food and footy on...How things have grown over the years.. starting with the Galaxy, camp food on a tiny stove and footy on your phone to a bigger vehicle, bigger stove and footy on your laptop/monitor...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 paddle boarding looked fun as well✌🏻
Paddle boarding has become one of my favourite things very quickly 👍👍
great seeing some uk van lifers. this was our life for half a decade down in cornwall so lovely reminising!
We converted a 3.5t box luton & did stealth so just looked like an argos delivery van, a teal colour we hand painted with 4 inch roller. then when lifted up back roller there was a balcony/porch with stained glass windows & window box. we loved our Yihny lol!
Stand up padle board, awesome for your core and body and fun. we used to also attempt to surf so had our boards in there with our bike and snowboard which never got to use to go to europe. if we were more confident and knew more about filming, narrating and youtube would've been good for us. but we didn't and always the future and more adventures when we get our health back!
good on ya for litter picking, one of those sticks may be good haha.
Be kinder with yourself though. you're not a twat for spilling some food.
with our therapy and healing our self talk has been hugely important.
not meaning to preach just wanted to share take it or leave it but all aspects of you deserve kindness and love!
thanks for sharing and being you
much love take care
xx
Thank you so much for this lovely comment and your kind words! Also for sharing your own experiences, sending you thoughts of health and happiness 🙌🙏
@@WillsWhereabouts Aaaaaw bless, thanks for you time and energy in reading and replying! hugs :) xx
Enjoyed the video and looks like your enjoying it regardless of the heatwave looking forward to next video
Brilliant video lots of ideas .looking real good . good luck 🍀🍀🇬🇧🇬🇧☮️
Thank you 🙏
Great park up!
Always throughly enjoy your videos. 😊👍👍
That's better a happy Will , variety is the spice of life mate ! Enjoy 🙂
👍👍🤘
That curry dish looked fantastic! Your new EcoFlow power bank is a great addition 👍
Good video pal, onwards and upwards, more adventures, more memories, 😁👍
Thank you 😊
Another great video and good on you for tidying up the site. Water flows downstream and upstream is the opposite. When I go kayaking I always head upstream against the flow first and its more relaxing on the way back. One thing I've noticed in NZ is they put these no camping signs up but only enforce it when someone complains. So if you're tucked out of sight it should be okay. Mind you i have noticed the English seem to delight in making complaints lol.
Hi Will, You are getting a taste of Australian weather mate, been here for years never gets any better Best Regards Andrew
Your heat is a whole different level my friend!
If your sitting relaxing in your boat and suddenly plummet to your death over a waterfall this is called going down stream ... If your paddling franticly for an hour and don't get anywhere, this is called going up stream.... hope this helps
NGL bro... Thumbnail brought me back to your channel, but your videos are genuinely entertaining. You've got yourself a new subscriber. 👍
The water current tells u which is up stream or down stream. The current always flows down stream will. Gr8 vid again will. Maxxxx
Well done lad, looking healthy and happy!
👍👍💪💪
Loved your video mate
Thank you 🙏
will great a working fan in a van .. well done buddy keep up the good work
Great vlog. Used to live near the river mole. Very pretty river. Love your lifestyle Will. Best wishes
I came for the adventure, I stayed because you Will are eye candy. Keep up the good videos in only shorts :) hahahahaha cheers!
Wil - simply brilliant, my son age 10, took full notes of the curry recipe & did this evening for dinner. Amazing stuff - well done indeed. Next he’ll want to eat in the car (sorry no van here!) we’re Woking and good to see your local stealth locations…
Thanks Phillip, made up you enjoyed the curry 😋😋
And 400 comment welcome.
Hi there, great video. Thanks for that goosebumps everytime watching you camping and think about me live on the stealth van.
Great watch will, your killing it man, stay happy 🙏 you've inspired me to go get an inflatable paddle board, that looked fun💪👍
It’s amazing I highly recommend them!
Great video 😎
Hi Will - Another great video - It's nice to settle down with a glass of good chilled wine and watch your latest upload. I really like your honesty and how genuine you are as a person 🙂.... have another great week Will........ OH YEA, quick question, what happened with you and the Fire Service (is this still on the cards)????
Those EcoFlows are mega, I have one, expensive but bloody good.
It’s so good to see you happy and having on your own, I spend a lot of time on my own, it doesn’t bother me, you get use to it, your setup in Mary looks really neat, I’m so proud of you for not giving up. Thank you Will for the useful information, what would we do without you, all the best Will, see you on the next one. Love to Mary. 🚐✌️💕🙃😎🚣🏼♀️
I know a few vanners now who do their bit by picking up the litter less conscientious users of said parking leave. Good on you. I'll be doing the same. I never left rubbish behind when I had my motorhome.didnt even leave footprints. Good to see the positivity continue too. Its really good to see you up beat and positive. I just joined the ridge monkey owners club after seeing you and the guys use them. I was so thrilled to get that box from amazon butgotta say its a bit sneeky how they quote the size though....expected a 40 cm pan and got one-with a 30 cm handle lol. hopefully next week I might try cooking a curry myself in Viv-i-van. now its got cooler it will be nice to get away .....finally lol. Loved the video. Even the smiles, upbeat vibe and a great looking curry only made it better. regards and respect as always-Kenny
Really enjoyed this one. Keep it going. All the best
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 🙏
Good video keep up the positive vibes man 🤘smashing it
Thank you Ben 🤘
Hey Will,,,
Ur van set up is fantastic!!! Ur sorted lol
Love that power pack,,,,,
All looks excellent!!!
In my van I had mosquito nets ,,, I made my own for the back door too,,,, other than that well done bud!!!
Ur vlog tonight gave me a massive grin!!
Love ya honesty
👍💪👍
Daz my man! 👩🏿baaacc ooff!!!! 🤰🏿👩🏿💅🏽
Nice one for picking up a paddle board! Just one thing - Google the j stroke and it'll save you constantly changing sides when you paddle! Then show Neil how to do it!!
Great vlog will
Thanks Sue 😊
Same summer every year, only difference is the constant media scaremongering 🤔 great video Will 👍💥
What a nice guy
Thank you, very kind ✌️✌️
Love your cooking mate looks stunning everytime 👌 😍
Nice one Will. Your sounding really well. 👍
Thanks Roger, things are going good 👍
Some places in Scotland said not overnight stays but 90% of the places I visited I stayed in lay-bys and car parks and it was great!
Lovely stuff mate. A tip if you will. Get the oil hot before adding the meat as your basicly poaching it in the oil to a degree as it warms up
Happy Sunday will!
Happy Monday Patrick 🙏
the direction of the water goes is down stream lol, keep it will and we see you in the next vid!
If you fancy a different recipe, try chicken penne Alfredo. Cook some chicken (thin cut strips) with a couple of chopped cloves of garlic. Heat up some double cream (single cream if you prefer) 200ml should do, add grated Parmesan to your taste and stir until thick. Add some fresh chopped parsley. Combine with your chicken and then add some cooked penne pasta 👌🏻
Sounds good 👌
Good one Will, I'm making that curry tonight cos you've made me so hungry. Look forward to more recipes, kayaking and perhaps a hike or two. Glad you're on top of things mate! 👍🏼
Thank you, appreciate it and definitely give the curry a try 👌👌
It's the way the water flows will
👍👍
Loved the video today!!
Thanks Samantha 👍🙏
I have that same Ecoflow battery. I love it.
Great piece of kit 👍
Your toes at 4:49 made me laugh
River Mole runs from Gatwick Airport towards London (south to north😂) so upstream is going towards Gatwick , downstream is going towards London👍 great video as always , stay safe out there and try at least to keep one hand on the wheel when driving! ATB from deepest Dorset 👍
6:02 I'm dying 😂😂😂😂
🦁 🌳
Great to see you doing well Will. Don’t forget to disinfect after the river and also check for weirs 🤣
Don’t forget to disinfect dat stank thing between yo legs.🤰🏿👩🏿
top man will, great content.... stay safe brother 🙏
Thanks Kevin 👍👍
Great video buddy just got myself an ecoflow river mini wireless and im loving it planning on getting the 160w solar panels soon u won't go wrong with ur unit
Good relaxing video will, but get yourself a litter picker don't use your hands. Look at doing Northumberland we have just come back from a 12 day trip. Part one is live now one each night at 7pm 1-6 stay safe van looks amazing 👍
Love that spot, surprisingly quiet most the time in terms of parking. Although I’m in a less glamorous work van having lunch! That village normally has a huge bonfire, hopefully they do it this year!
Love a good bonfire 🔥
Broke self. 🤰🏿👩🏿
Great video!
Nice video will.... you was watching the best team 👌😏 enjoy see you in the next one 🍻
👍👍🤘
You've got yourself a proper liveable van now, Will.
cool vid. i have a high top fiat doblo and just started youtube. glad i found your channel
Oh boy ... start adding some potatoes to your curry! Really great. You just chunk them up and add them early on so they cook with the other ingredients.
What a lovely spot where you can cook with your doors open!
Hadn’t thought of that! 🙏😊
Again amazing video in such a less time from previous video 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Hate to I feel ur pain will over there across the pond in Philadelphia we also have been having heat wave for the last two to three months and now we have been having on and off rain storms I wish u lots of luck hopefully it’s rains over there
Hi will thank you loved your video awsome fun delicious meal lovely van great work nice place to camp 🙂🙂🙂🙂💙💙💙💙
It was a lovely little spot, thanks for the lovely comment 💜
If you’re in the new forest soon there are some great spots to SUP and even a beautiful river paddle in Southampton 👍
Fair play cleaning up the lay by Will 👍
Leave no trace 👌
A tip for while using the chopping board, fold up a tea towel and place it underneath the board, this will stop the chopping board from moving while chopping up vegetables etc.
You got good eyes for details!
Superglue is better.
Thanks mate love video keep smiling my friend
Thanks 😊
Your looking really well , and the van looks great seems such along time since the Ford galaxy days
What would probably help you to have some privacy in the van at the back is getting or making some sort of pull down curtain or cover from the top of the van to the bottom of the bed… so when you have the back doors open you’ll still have access to youre stuff just keeps the bed and inside covered when you wish, doing well mate even with life difficulties but keep going and we have push and keep going everyday for the ones who really couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t manage to wake up again…. If you’re still going after all struggles YOU HAVE SOMETHING!
