- This week we are thrown into winter vanlife! Get 30 days of Headspace for FREE here: headspace-web.... Use Code: KINGINGIT30 😇💜
The snow has arrived people and doing all of the winter renovation on the van, we're hoping she can survive and stand the test of time and we don't cross any winter storms! We have already experienced minus temperatures and all pipes are still in tact (so far) So far we've loved travelling during the winter, its a lot quieter and relaxing but we know soon enough we will be camping in below -25 temperatures and we just have all fingers and toes crossed for a smooth ride! So far we are loving living winter van life!

Hey guys!
First of all thank you for being here and watching all of our videos this year ❤
We really hope you get some lovely time off to spend how you wish these holidays!
I also wanted to quickly mention - we've had a LOT of spam on our comments recently - ive tried every way to stop it and report it but i'm sure UA-cam has their hands full!
Just know we do NOT have Telegram or anything of the sort and will NEVER offer you anything in the comments - please do not interact with these tarts - just report it if you see it, thank you
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!! ❤🎅🎄❤
Merry Christmas to you both 🎅🏻🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄So happy you both are feeling better.
Get your eyes checked. If your vision suddenly improves it can be an indication of diabetes. The fluid levels in your eyes has changed. You need to be careful. Take care
Happy Birthday Craig and Merry Christmas to you both ❤❤❤
Spammers everywhere ruining life. Keep safe xx
Is it just me or is this video really ROMANTIC? Not in a traditional way, but in a very cute and funny way. Moments like these, with thoughtful gestures and people being themselves, feeling comfortable with each other is exactly how I see a relationship working. I am very happy for you and in a way I envy what you have, but you deserve it because you've worked hard for it and you are good people. I really enjoy watching your videos. Happy Birthday, Craig! and Merry Christmas, you two! 🤗
Thanks 🙏
Absolutely! 100%! I hate my envy though! I want them to give me a piggyback to go on their adventures with them.
You two are absolutely hilarious!! Seriously you meditating with the masks on made me pee a little! Happy birthday, Craig! 🥳 So glad you’re feeling better. I hope you both have a lovely Christmas 🎄 wherever in the world you are. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures ❌⭕️
hahaha thanks Carina! Thanks so much for coming along with us - Merry Christmas!
I was crying laughing so hard during that meditation. Just hilarious!
@@rosaleejo they are so creative!
The copper pipe could do with a barb at the end, because its flat it could slide off again. Better make sure it is well tight. Double clamp and longer overlap should be good.
Adding a barb fitting would require soldering. The easier solution is to buy a sharkbite push fitting made explicitly for connecting copper to pex
As a dane, I'm so happy you guys came by and such a shame you got sick! It was really amazing to see people come through close to where I live, as most tend to visit Copenhagen! Jylland has so much to show, so please visit again and I hope you have a wonderful time! ♥
You two in your Christmas jammies and holiday face masks is the cutest thing. Glad you're both on the mend, and Happy Birthday Craig 🎂
Merry Christmas you two. Oh my gosh - the meditation with the face masks at the end made me laugh right out loud.! You two never disappoint - thank you for all of the happy, exciting, fun, real footage!
Lordy, you two are the most beautiful nutters I know! As ever, I get to ride along with two beautiful souls living their best life! Happy Christmas, and thank you for another fab year of adventures x
Alright, that's it. I've been lurking and liking for a few videos, but those masks at the end finally made me hit SUBSCRIBE! 😆Hope you both are feeling 100% now and have an amazing trip.
My face seriously hurts from smiling so much after I watch your videos.
I have just spent the past week binge watching all of your videos right from the start and wow what a journey! You guys are fantasticly funny. I'm in New Zealand and I've got a few Welsh friends that now live here and one is from Barry!!
Anyone I'm up to this video now and i just want to say, don't ever stop making videos because you guys give me some much needed laughter ❤😂
Ah no way - whats their name?! Maybe we would know them?
Ahh legend - thank you! 😁
I hate that you both were sick but I think this is my favorite video you've done. I feel like I got a peek at how you two take care of each other. The extra days to rest were probably needed, too. It's good to recharge the batteries even when not sick.
"they're going to do studies on me" 🤣🤣 glad you're both feeling better. Xx
Thank you for making me laugh out loud. I broke my leg today and you are the best pain relief/distraction. I’m going to rewatch your videos while stuck in bed for the next few weeks. I don’t understand why you don’t have a million subscribers.
Sometimes the cold just zaps our energy. Especially when you''re not accustom to it. Give yourself some grace and don't push yourselves too hard. If you try to do all the things you usually have energy for, you will get run down and sick. Slow and steady wins the race. Love you guys. Enjoy the moments.
I have never been abroad so you 2 nutters show me the world and make me laugh so much watching you go through the ups and downs. Go on Trev xx much love
Amy, you have to be one of my favorite personalities on UA-cam. You are amazing!
You need to go swimming at Tromso, the Pust sauna that's right in the harbour is brilliant. You jump straight into the sea and then run bk into the lovely hot sauna within 10seconds. (It's the only way I could be brave enough to do really cold water swimming!)
Pyjama party with no tahini. You two are so entertaining, humorous and free spirited.
OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU TWO!! YOU HAVE THE BEST PERSONALITIES AND ARE SO WITTY!! I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BOTH AND HOW HILARIOUS YOU ARE... THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAYS BRIGHTER AND FULL OF LAUGHTER... BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH 🥰❤️🤩🤩🤩
I don't usually laugh at anyone meditating but the visual of you both with your holiday masks on and meditating is a sight! 😅😆
Good look guys! Your videos always get me through this tough time of the year with a smile on my face, so thank you. Safe travels and stay warm 🤗
AW our absolute pleasure mate - thanks a bunch for watching!
I like your bus. And the windows on the sides let you sightsee the areas. Felt as if I were sitting on the dashboard in front of you while you drove. I'm living in my van out of necessity, and your Spirit and attitude inspire me. Count me subscribed. Blessings on us all at this time of transformation. Peace out.
What a great vlog! Aimee you did fantastic on dinner for Craig's birthday. Happy birthday Craig! I'm sorry you both were so sick and missed out on Denmark. Thanks for letting us tag along
I am sat in bed with Walter bottle as heating not on, had the best day with my grandchildren swimming (indoor leisure centre) & that was simply hilarious. I saw those PJ's in Primark in that freezing Surrey week. Absolutely 💯 brilliant & the winter scenery, and do hope you both feel better soon. Happy Christmas 🎄 to you both. Looking up headspace next.
Namaste 🙏🌾🌴🎄🍾🥂
I feel like I'm kinda experiencing it with you. I'm in the states and it's usually cold, but the past couple years it's been warm. It went from 50° F yesterday to 5° now with a windchill of -15°. Stay warm guys 🩶
So happy to see a vlog from you two today! I am not celebrating Christmas this year because I lost my dad 2 weeks ago. But I hope you two legends have the best Christmas and new years ♥️
Sending you all the love and hugs Jess 💙
😢 hugs and love too you and your family ❤
Thank you both so much. It has been unbearably difficult as he died suddenly and unexpected in his sleep. But what a perfect way to go out....while he slept peacefully 💔🥺
Sorry for your loss … be kind to yourself … I lost my son 5 years ago so I’m familiar with your pain … however you need to grieve is right for you … much love from Australia ❤
Sorry for your loss x I'll have a Sprout for you x 🤮
Y’all were on fire with the comedic timing of this one! great video
We love Denmark!!! Van life here looks awesome - this is the kind of trip we’re planning on doing over the next few years!!!
Last year, Craig’s birthday was in Morocco at this amazing dessert event. This year he’s sick in the van eating cereal and whatever Aimee could find. Undoubtedly both will be memorable wonderful birthdays with his beautiful funny partner in crime 🎉❤
I’m in sync with your plumbing woes. The first two weeks of 2023 we were on our shared ownership boat. When we arrived and I turned on the water pump there was a gushing sound from somewhere. By the time we’d worked our where is was coming from the cupboard under the sink was awash. The water filter unit must have frozen and had completely sheered off, breaking the plastic casing. Luckily my husband is pretty handy with plumbing. He was able to cap off the main pipe the following day and replaced the water filter the following week. Took me ages to mop up under the sink and dry things off though.
Your videos always make me happy. Thank you for putting yourselves out there. We can't wait to see where you end up!
love your video! In regrads to 17:10 I can tell you we have no dangeours animals in denmark! ( there is a whooping 10-15 wolfes in all of denmark, so your are very much in the clear)
I hope you will return to Denmark, and really see all that we have to offer
Ahh what a brilliant episode! Loved the song choices and those drone shots along the snowy beaches. Looks like a decent start to this travel vlog chapter. Looking forward to the rest. Glad to see you guys are feeling better too. Many happy returns for your birthday Craig, Captain B sure did put in good effort with treating you like a king. What a team!
Aimee and Craig, thank you for sharing your Danish adventure. I hope that you are fully recovered from the sickness🙏
Merry Christmas from a very snowy Peterborough, Ontario, Canada❤️❤️🎄
I am sorry your were ill and not able to do what you wanted in Denmark, but I think it's really valuable that you shared this and show that sometimes you can plan all you want, but it doesn't always work out and that, as with anything, you have to roll with the punches. It makes me feel better knowing things like this happens to seasoned travellers like yourselves and it's about how you get up and move on informs the experience overall. Take care of yourselves guys. xxx
Pure joy. Love you guys. So nice to see Denmark under a blanket of snow. Hope you get to return, it`s a lovely country.
Y'all are SO funny. Brought a little Christmas jolly to me today. Stay safe, be well & be blessed. Merry Christmas. ❤️
Now THAT's the way to make a video! Thanks for bringing us along ... and for those of us who are trying like hell to be as good of a UA-camr as you ... thanks for the journey!
Oh my!!!! you two are just as adorable as”Nate and Kara” !!!
Enjoying your channel.
Safe travels, Cheers!
Lesions in the neck can cause troubles in the vision... I'm glad that somehow you recovered your vision Craig, that's huge!
Trev and Baby Jesus do Denmark! After a very stressful work day, your video is just the right thing to lighten my day with a good laugh, as always. Happy birthday, Craig and happy holidays to you both! I am looking forward to all your new adventures, near and far.
You guys have been killing it recently! We've been so spoiled with such good quality videos recently. Edit to say- since you have Keith the Kettle, maybe the coffee maker can be Carl to keep the alliteration?
Can’t think of a better vlog to watch to take me into the holiday season! You guys are the gift that keeps on giving! Xx😊
Hiya Guys, I lost our heat pads off our water tanks & Wellhouse leisure replaced them both & secured both the new ones with Bostik flashband & it's lasted really well so far...🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’m glad y’all are feeling better!
You guys are just AMAZING, and your matching PJs are AWESOME. Get well & kick-ass!!!
Welcome to Sweden! You should absolutely try to take a ice-bath, it's better than you think and you actually get quite warm and very relaxed afterwards.
I'm honestly so glad I found Kinging It 😌 It's one of the best things to happen to me this year. Hope you're keeping safe!! 🤍 Oh and Happy Birthday, Craig!
You two are hilarious! I hope you both are feeling better and thank you both for making me feel better! I can do nothing but laugh when I watch your videos! You are an inspiration to us all.
Happy Birthday Craig! Amy what a MasterChef, who knew??? And Craig your elf mask was banging! 🤣🤣🤣 You guys are my absolute favourite pair, you have me in stitches! Hope you are both feeling better. Merry Christmas xxx
Leaks like that with being subject to movement I would double up on the clamp as a backup
Salt water can be colder than fresh water. Salt lowers the freezing point. That’s why they put salt on icy roads and add salt to ice to make ice cream. Fill up a cup with cold water and ice cubes and check the temperature. Add a tablespoon of salt and check the temp again. Can literally drop like 17 degrees celcius.
Happy Birthday Craig. You remind me of my six yr old grandson asking Alexa what his moms boyfriends favorite color? Amy that meal looked amazing.
Glad you are feeling better. Happy Belated Birthday. Merry Christmas. AND a wonderful, healthy, soul-soothing 2023! Love you two! 💖🎄
Fascinated by the eyes situation! When I got covid this year, suddenly my breathing felt better for a little while after (which I guess is ironic) and there was something I had on my body for about 18 months, and it disappeared after covid for a a while too. Also very excited for this series, in love with Norway and Scandinavia.
Just wanted to say I just discovered your videos this pasr month and I’ve been laughing and crying with you through all the ups and downs, love you guys so much, merry Christmas from Canada
We are having a ice storm here in Vancouver and my furnace is on the fritz so I am feeling your pain! Watching how cold you are, I feel it at the same time.🙂 Love your adventurous spirit guys. Thanks for all the hours of fun watching you two.
Everything is so precious here. 💖 I'm glad u found a nice safe spot to recoup. Aimee looks like a Nordic queen in the thumbnail. I loved Craig's temporary Christmas Miracle. 🎄 Beautiful country, Denmark. Hope you're havin' a jolly holiday now. Can't wait to see the next video!
Whatever it takes, keep taking cate of yourselves and Custard.
Sending you all my love this Christmas! ❤ Have the best time in Scandinavia! 🌲 Much love! 🤍
Happy Birthday Craig! Looks like you got a little spoiled! 😊 Thanks for posting today... I belly laughed seeing the two of you meditating in your face masks! I hope you have a fun destination for Christmas. Stay warm, get back to healthy and take care of each other! You're so good at that! ❤️❤️
I can see again 🤣🤣
Man, when you all get back to Wales, fix Custard up right and get rid of the copper section and run PEX the whole way round. It will take a bit if freeze and the connections will be better than the copper to PEX connection. I think that copper expanded and the worm gear clamp couldn't hold anymore.
Sorry you guys were sick. You still managed to make a very entertaining video.
I cannot stop giggling like a child, love your videos, carry on.
😂😂😂 30:11 “Don’t drink the tea I burned me lips off” was my favorite HBD Craig and Merry Christmas to the both of u 🎄
Cracking vid - pot noodle Xmas dinner - livin the life - happy new year - time to go south until it gets warm and they speak Spanish
You two are way too funny, the best !! Aimee may just pip been the funniest, burning her chops on the hot tea made me laugh 😂 so hard !! You two would take anyone out of a bad mood, your personalities are infectious. Thank you for all your vlogs throughout the year, you two work so hard 👍 have a fantastic Xmas and New Year, best wishes from Norn Ireland ☺
The best channel on UA-cam! Love you guys and epic adventures. The love you have for each other seems so pure. X
Second best channel is Nikki Delventhal mainly for the bikini shots that Craig can't pull off in my opinion....
Love it, sorry you both felt unwell! Love the masks at the end! Always a real pleasure travel with you guys. Have a lovely vegan Xmas 😘
I love your videos are great but guys can we leave the cooking programmes to the experts
We were in Denmark this summer (first time!) and everyone was so kind. I'm sorry you both felt so sick so hopefully it's all behind you. Stay warm and safe!
Happy Birthday Craig . Get well soon . Take plenty of fluids and rest well. God bless always.
Beautiful.thank you.x
Being a Danish speaker since age 6, I completely agree, that it's near impossible for non-Danes to pronounce Danish names such as Rømø. The second ø in that name, BTW, stands for 'island.' That's for all the islands in Denmark, whose name ends in 'ø'. So you landed on "Røm-island" the first day. (The ø is the same sound as the German and Swedish ö - if that's any help 😉 )
And that concludes your Danish lesson for today. 🤣
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 Craig!!
Glad you two are feeling better, I absolutely love watching you guys always makes my day
shakshuka is the best! Easy to make and delicious ( I do add an egg to top mine off though) thoroughly recommended ❤ hope you are both feeling better x
Merry Christmas! Thank you for being my best relaxing space!
You answered the question yourself ☺️ So fevers are actually a good thing, and having a high temperature can heal various things in the body. Your eye sight was probably improved from having the fever 🙌🏼
Bless you both dear hearts, keeping you both in extra prayers and wishing you all the best. Would love if you shared that recipe that you enhanced for Craig's Birthday and Happy be-elated birthday Craig.
Barometric pressure doing a good thing for you and your eyes and healing both of you keep headed north you guys are doing awesome🎉
Festive greetings from Germany! Love you guys and wish you a merry christmas! And a late happy birthday to Craig! And thank you a ton for making me smile this year again once a week! I really do need that right now. Wish you all the best! Lots of love!
Amy! For your cough and chest congestion, I drink this tea like it's medicine because it is, it's called traditional medicinals breathe easy. I've been drinking it for over 10 years now and it has kept me from having ear infections and sinus infections because I used to get them quite a lot, but not ever anymore 😊
I lived in my car in Alaska for a year. The change in temperature up down up down. Will make you sick. Try to keep it close to the same temperature all the time if you can. Do NOT sweat. If you sweat the freeze you will get sick. Take off clothes if your hot and put on more if your cold. I hope that info helps.
Meal looked just like the picture, compliments to the lady chef.
Baby Jesus has returned 20/20! HALLELUJAH 💚🤓💚🤓💚🤓💚, even if it was brief. That birthday breakfast with candle...SMASHING!!!!!!! Not surprised at all by the culinary excellence 💚💚💚
Thanks for another fabulous video! I’m always so excited to watch your adventures. I love your positivity and enthusiasm. Merry Christmas and much joy in the New Year 😊Hope you both are over your illness too.❤
Played catch up today on this series of videos with other half. Love how funny you both are. You're acting in the ads soooo funny. I really hope custard makes it all the way. Thanks for the amazing videos 🧡
It’s so cool to see a video from you guys traveling my country! It’s a bummer you got sick, but at least you got to see how beautiful it is when there is snow here ❄️ Hope you have a lovely time in Norway! ❤️
The reason your water hose popped off is because hoses are supposed to be connected with barbed fittings. Stay safe and have an awesome adventure.
Yeah barbs would be the only way that hose clamp would work. A sharkbite connector is the easy solderless solution though
Headspace is my fav! Love love the sleep casts! Fun to know you love it, too!! Stay warm, friends!
Had a cough and breathing problems for eight weeks, coughed so hard i actually cracked a rib, one of the ones I had cracked about 2 months earlier falling over in the garden onto concrete, then came down with what I reckon you guys have got, at least this time i was able to cough up the crap, gave it to my wife, son daughter, elderly mum and now my dad :(
Happy Birthday Craig, glad your starting to feel better!! Thanks for reminding me of Headspace, love that app and forgot about it, so relaxing! Merry Christmas and cya soon!
What a winterland ⛄❄️
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the headspace link! Signed up and app has been downloaded. Sure to be a more peaceful me in 2023. ;) I'm looking forward to trying it and hopefully managing the ole anxiety a little better. Happy birthday to Craig and hope you are on the mend soon!
Cant believe that you wonderful great people have just been in Denmark -my country 🇩🇰loooooove watching you ♥️
Thanks for making me smile and laugh so much during this video.
Love the Neshaminy Football shirt. I lived near there for 5 years back in '00s. Brought back memories. Thx
Ah no way! I got it at a vintage store in Cardiff! Haha small world!
I just about pissed my pants laughing at those face masks 😂 you two are so wonderfully adorably funny. HBD Craig!
It's relieving to see a new video because it means you didn't die or anything 🥳 hope to see more videos soon 😁
Merry Christmas to the both of you. Take care of yourself and stay safe. Love you💚❤💚
I laughed so hard at the “Hey Siri, I can see again. Why??” Like real, bellows of laughter 😂
