My father taught me to make pancakes. His favorite breakfast for Sunday mornings. When you make your pancakes and you flip them over for the first time do not take your spatula and smash them down. You want to keep them light and fluffy. When you smash them, the middle gets a weird texture. Don’t smash them down, give it a try. PS just another little tip. You will know when it’s time to flip them for the first time is when you stop seeing the bubbles 🥞
Great video! Having just turned 70 years old, this is something I have always wanted to do. I don’t see me doing this on a permanent basis, but I would love to set up my 2012 Jeep Patriot for traveling to see my family members who live out of state! Would save a ton of money not having to do the motel thing! Thanks for sharing your setup! You gave me a ton of useful ideas and info that will help me set my Patriot up! God bless and safe travels for you and Sam!
You are so creative!! And, I have watched 100 billion or so videos with the Jackery system and you are the first person to show that you could charge other small items off the solar panel
lived on my school bus in Oakland for a year...so happy to see and enjoy your video on the realities of living in a vehicle...you hit it!!!! So inspiring and real. Not easy but worth it...paradigm shifting. Much appreciation, love and fun and great adventures to you and Sam :-) Excellent Musica by the way ....Thank You Trav!
Just got a Patriot myself. Been viewing van camping channels for months but now that I got the Jeep (Jeep fam for decades tho!) looking for folks who are doing this with Jeeps to get ideas. I’m bummed though to see that Jeep changed their Patriot seats! My Patriot’s seat cannot lay flat forward like that. It can lay flat backwards but then I cannot fold my backseat forward and no leg room 😂🤦🏽♀️ So, love getting ideas from everyone though!
Love your ingenuity! I've converted my 2017 RAV4 into my RV and one day hope to just move in permanently. Stay safe and keep livin the dream! Blessings!
This is how I did it, keep it simple. I did this for 8 months during the summer of 2016; one of the best years of my life I think. It was a little lonely, it would be nice to try to meet like minded people to travel with eventually. I plan on doing something like this somewhat full time eventually.
I love your setup!! Thanks for showing us how Sam fits in your routine. Some original this you have share are: 1) Suction storage items-very clever! 2) Thank you for being a role model for how to leave a place even better than you found it. QUESTION: Does your pup ever bark at night when you are trying to be stealth?
I enjoyed this so much. I appreciate you taking the time to make it. I am going to steal some.ideas for sure. Oh and I love Sam just the sweetest. My Kibbles use to have the whole front seat too. Also when we laid in the back she didn't want her space she wanted to be all in mine so that was just a cute reminder of my happiest moments. Also open road and a dog is the only real thing you need. 😀 safe travels
I have a Jeep Commander and just discovered SUV RVing! Love what you're doing! Had a travel trailer but sold it when we moved to CA. Did full time tent living. Really miss it! Safe travels! Great set up!
I like your less is more theory. Im going to try and convince my roommate to be the same way. Ive gained to much weight so have my dogs we have to get out and enjoy life.
Last big project is a pvc foot runners as water tank reserves thinking about using electric coils to run the water heating. Could also use the cars radiator system maybe the diesel heater
I like your set-up! Thanks for sharing it. I had converted my 2002 Jeep Liberty for camping, my Jamper. For more vertical storage in the back, I used 2 shelves and their legs from a black plastic 5-shelf unit I bought at Walmart. You can saw the legs to a custom height easily with a handsaw and put carriage bolts through the legs into the tie-down points. We still had room to stretch out, because we put our feet under the bottom shelf. Bottom shelf was a great height for laptop for working too. I was so bummed when the Patriot did not have the length or headroom of the Liberty. So, I went with a Subaru Outback for camping now, my Camparu. Safe travels! (May I suggest a first aid kit, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and a fire extinguisher?)
I am Tony 57 soon will be homeless going to do this with my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo so glad I found this I will now travel and Gig I am musician guitarist and owner and deejay. I see you make it look fun
Hello, I really enjoyed your video and how you travel living in your jeep. I too have a jeep patriot and have often thought about living in it. I will have to be an arm chair viewer and enjoy your adventures. I am 63 and a insulin diabetic. Also not as limber due to arthritis pain. You and your pet will have to travel for me. I will look forward to your posts. Stay safe and happy travels:)
WOW 🤩 You are super organized ! Sam is so cool ~ your Jeep Patriot looks huge compared to what I’ll be trying ~ a Kia Soul !! Great advice on so many levels ! Thx and safe travels n adventures !
So happy to see someone using the Patriot for this. Hoping to do some overlanding with mine this winter. One Patriot owner to another, be sure to have the CVT Transmission fluid and filter changed every 30,000 miles. The owners manual calls for longer intervals, but they won’t last long with long intervals between service. Also, watch the rust on the subframes both front and rear. Keep it up man, great setup!!
Wish the dog could take its paw off to keep the mud away. 😂😂. I love your way of life. Thinking of doing it. I’m a flight attendant and always gone so I’m thinking of trying this way of living. I do have a keep renegade so I can’t wait. Btw thanks for sharing the solar thing. Ordering now.
Yeo bro, I jist bought myself an 08 Patriot, Myself... Its WAYYY Smaller than I wanted... I had a NYC Shuttle bus, but was forced into trading it in ... Long story, but I was done wrong... So, Ive got the Patriot and Hopefully hit the road myself Soon hopefully... We should Link up & maybe ya can help me organize this dang thing, bro... Great video, Awesome Fur Babie too... Ive got one, myself. His name is Mr Buddie Lone Stars lol No, I didnt name him. LoL the Rescue place did... Well, I added the " Mr." Part. But yea man, cool a** setup, manz... Hope to hear back from ya... Safe travels & enjoy, brother.
You did well to downsize from the van to this jeep ,but it's perfectly do'able .Fair play bud .. Getting rid of debt is great . I do part time stealth camping in the UK ..I use my old work car derived van ..it's an Opel /vauxhall astra ...it's quite small , basically just a bed on wheels lol But it's fine tbf .. Just subscribed .. Love sams mini bed very comfy lol

Thank you so much!! I was pretty pumped when I discovered that feature 😊🙌🏻
A roof box would be good to store some of your gear in.
I definitely considered this option at the beginning! However, I found that I just didn't have enough stuff to justify having it :)

I’m getting a 2017 Jeep Patriot this makes me so excited.
Have you gotten the patriot yet? I am interested but want to know how it is as a owner
Check for rust under it. Many take them out to bad roads or snow, then dont wash the salt off well.
@@brianagyare3098 I like it a lot!
Ooooo
Saw Sam and knew I had to subscribe. Love the vibe of the video. Chilled and relaxed. Thanks for taking us on an epic journey. Aloha from HAWAII 🤙
Finally, someone who likes peanut butter on their pancakes besides me!
Steering wheel desk; so cool! Thanks for creating this vid. You have given me some great ideas and smiles. Happy, safe travels to you and Sam!
You are the first person I have seen do a car tour, and demonstrate how you cook a meal, in your car as well. Great video. 🤗
Stumbled across this channel. How in the hell do you only have 1k subs? The quality of your product is remarkable. +1 sub from me.

What a great video. Really helpful information & really appreciate the way you have created the chapters.
I have been watching these kinds of films for a year. This channel is my fave!
You both seem to love the new setup. Stay safe.
Thank you, Gary

You live the dream my dude. I have just picked one of these up and you have inspired me
Happy to hear 🙌🏻✌🏻
Great vid and gorgeous dog! Liked and subbed. Hi from the UK!
Nice video - you are a very organised person! Looks like a lot of fun.
Excellent setup, have good travels!
Love the window storage. Great idea.
You have such a cool life style! safe travels, I enjoyed this video!

Thankfully he’s very quiet. I got lucky with him. He’ll only bark when he’s really excited to be somewhere then I leave him in the van 😅
Really like your video but also have to say I'm so glad to see someone drinking Zevia and not La Croix! They're so good...
Beautiful footage! Very nicely done. Quality video with good ideas/tips. Great job!
I have a lab named Sam... I want to get a van/car for this kind of traveling... Subbing!

Made this look and feel like an real show Most def about to go camping in my jeep
WOW 🤩 You are super organized ! Sam is so cool ~ your Jeep Patriot looks huge compared to what I’ll be trying ~ a Kia Soul !!
Great advice on so many levels ! Thx and safe travels n adventures !
Fantastic set. Very clean and efficient. Love your style of videography and music selection. Definitely subbing.
I live in Nebraska too and have a jeep patriot i want to do this in! Thank you so much for showing us!
We are Forced to do this in our Jeep Liberty limited Thanks for the tips as we are getting ready to do this
Glad I could help 😊
This was so helpful for me! I also have a Jeep Patriot and am transitioning to car living next month :)
1 classic old-school " card table" ( cooking,etc) would be perfect....in your set up... maybe upon the yoga mat in rear of car when traveling ....
I like this idea
So happy to see someone using the Patriot for this. Hoping to do some overlanding with mine this winter. One Patriot owner to another, be sure to have the CVT Transmission fluid and filter changed every 30,000 miles.

Keep it up man, great setup!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video this helped me a lot
Charmingly efficient set up. I commend you on simplicity. Just a note: never set batteries on the ground. The earth saps energy from it.
Great set up.
I looooove these kind of videos, please keep them coming!
This is incredibly inspiring, thank you.
Travel well!
Nice video, stay safe
This is a great video.
