  • Join me and my family as we go van camping on a campsite in England. This is the first night camping in the van as a full family. We get an electric hookup pitch so we can enjoy the full facilities that the campervan has to offer.

    As an American, I have to say there’s nothing cuter than a little one with a British accent. 😍🥰

    I remember when Evelyn was born. Never got to see her in the interim but she surely is a beautiful little girl. But, WOW, I didn't know that you have a little boy as well. He is sweet.

    I started all of my kids as early as Oscar. And everyone of them still love to camp and fish. Two of them are pushing 50 now. We'd love to reminisce camping with their grandparents. Precious Memories that you will have with your children.

    What a privilege, a real treat to see the other components of your family! How I remember those days when my kids were babies and toddlers. Try a camping trip under the stars with a telescope, that'll create many great memories too. Well Mike, get some well deserved rest and we'll look forward to the next one!

Your family is great, every generation we've seen so far! And I can just see your kids getting into the bushcraft at some point, you know it's bound to happen. Cheers! 🧔‍♂👩👧👶🦚🏞🚐♥

    Oh my goodness! I love that you can camp with your family. When my son was about six months old we went camping for a few days. Yes, nights can be tough, but the tradeoff is you can corral a baby in a play pen if need be (while building a fire or something). Also, you can keep your days low-key and even nap with the kids if you feel like it.
    I nearly died laughing at your comment "Let's be honest, it's the dad who will be out here." You know the deal. Keep up the great work. Sure love your family.

    Great vlog - subscribed! Our kids are also called Oscar and Evelyn (Evie). My one bit of advice after having many broken nights’ sleep in our camper would be to take a small pop-up tent with you, and then if the baby is being noisy you and Eve can sleep in the tent under the awning instead.

  • @verasileikis17
    @verasileikis17 2 роки тому +1

    🇨🇦Greetings from Canada!
    Camping with one child is challenging so an additional little one will certainly contribute to the chaos.
    I’d be surprised if Oscar wasn’t a little fussy in that environment because he’s bound to respond to disruptions in his routine, even pleasant ones.
    Eva is obviously enjoying the novelty of the situation and she’s clearly inherited your Dad’s merriment gene.
    Thanks for sharing this and having survived your inaugural overnight, you’re going to be prepared for the next one. Cheers!

    Regarding your duvalay. I've got one. Had it for probably 10yrs. They're very good aren't they. But I keep mine unrolled in roof space. When away for few days. In morning. Roll it up. Then lift into roof & unroll it there for storage out of way. Sounds a lot of faff. But only takes me 2 mins total. I keep a cane in roof to push it flat at the back

On the top of the car the sun energy on top of the car like vitrocerámica. Hasta la vista!!!

      Sorry to hear that. But don’t let that experience get in the way of your camping adventures. The hardest bit is getting the motivation walking out the door. Once you’re out there and camping you’ll wonder why you never did it earlier. Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone to experience the best adventures.
