Tesco was calling my name so off I went to try a stealth camp at the UK's biggest supermarket. I hope you guys enjoy another stealth car camp and a massive thanks for your support on the videos. A huge appreciation and thanks goes to the members of the channel and those that have joined my Patreon! :)
Awesome, cannot wait. Wait, what does 'Every Little Helps' mean on the screenshot? Isn't it 'Every Little Bit Helps'? Aah screw it, Im gonna start a fire, pour a beer, make some hamburgers and looking forward to seeing this episode later tonight 👌🏼 Cheers from a sunny Cape Town, South Africa
A top tip if you are doing curry & rice again. Buy yourself a rectangular Tupperware type plastic container that clamps down on all 4 sides....boil the microwave rice first (slowly) in a tiny drop of water (this will create steam later)...place the rice in the Tupperware box and seal all 4 sides down. This will now stay hot for about 10 mins while you cook the curry. When its done you now have a nice little eating container with the curry on top of the rice. Take care there . Hope this helps :-)
Try to stay positive Will, your boundless enthusiasm and ability to ride over all the difficulties on your stealth camping, are exactly what any employer would love. It would be a shame to get a camper van, because seeing you bang your head on the car roof is all part of why we love your channel. With nearly 100k subs why haven't Chelsea F.C. sent you some free merch to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer? Send an e-mail to their marketing /advertising dept, or I will. xx
Those yellow barriers are for height restriction, you'll be fine in a car if they close them. My van generally gets under most of them, but a high top van wouldn't fit. I got a fine a couple of years back as I parked in Morrisons car park for over the allotted time (3 hours, I think) and I paid it, but having searched online, many people say not to pay. It's worth looking in to. I'm extremely glad you now have a dedicated piss pot!
Thank you for being open an honest about struggling mentally Bro, just remember your numbing other men to the idea it’s taboo to talk about it! The more you speak of it the more us men learn to accept it’s okay.
A friend once told me that all you can do is "make the most of what you've got". Simply repeating that sentence to myself helps with the types of feelings we share.
Hi Will, Love your videos mate, I think your unique selling point is the fact that you are doing something different than all the other van dwellers who are selling the perfect van life. You are showing it can be done on a budget and in a street or a car park. As soon as you get a van parking in places becomes more difficult and blending in is hard. I live on the coast in Devon and they are really clamping down on vans overnighting but not cars!! Yes I have a VW T4 camper but love watching you park up in a street and making the most of what you have. Having a stove fixed on the side is boring compared to watching you scramble to get it out and then cook on your bed! Whatever you do I wish you luck and I will still watch your videos because your charm and personality shines through. ATB, Lee
Brought back memories. When I lived in Eastbourne in 1989 my then husband and I used to drive down to the beach and Park there, sleepingbags in the car. Then getting something to Drink at the off licence and off to the pub for Dinner and Drinks. We stayed over night in the car. Always caused laughs by Terry's family. We loved it. 👍👍👍👍🙂
Excellent video Will. I fill my gas canisters up from £ shop lighter fuel cans. You're never stuck for gas and is so much cheaper. Adapter on AliExpress for £1:50. Get a granite breadboard and place it on your opened drawer for a sturdy worksurface. Get 2 thick single quilts.. Much warmer than sleeping bag. Wrap a jumper or fleece around your feet when in bed... keeps your tootsies warm. All the Best, Maggie and MACK, Huddersfield
Frying things in a jetboil with too little fluid will ruin it. It is only made for boiling things. I did it myself on a train trip and released the fire alarm on the whole sleeping coach. Did some frying of swedish meat balls, and the teflon coating in the bottom came off.
While you are at Tesco, I recommend the "Wicked Spicy Coconut & Rice Noodle" pot type noodle thing. OMG it is the food of the gods, particularly if you have a few prawns to wodge into it.
Hope you are ok mate, feeling a bit down myself at the moment as I am in the shielding group with having a kidney transplant 15 years ago. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel with this lockdown.
You should put a big not under front window saying “battery dead, will get in the morning”. They will see the note and figure dead battery and you will be gone in the morning. They won’t figure you are inside
When camping in car parks with ANPR cameras, change the letters or numbers on your registration plates with black electrical tape. I had to wrap my plates with carrier bags once when I overstayed the 3 hours in a motorway service station. Never ever got a letter/fine.
Done a lot of stealth camping UK Supermarkets. Best sites are usually 5 miles from a town I found, but even then Police can appear and knock your window. But once a good sight is found you can re-use. Some industrial parks can be good, find one that is too small to fund a camera. School locations can be good, no cameras and no night time presence.
Stealth camping in my Berlingo, I just look for a place in a road that has a hedge rather than in front of someone's house. A bit of outside lighting is good as well so no-one can see light coming from the car.
The foot warmers are filled with Iron oxide, more or less what happens is when you remove them from their packaging the air around you causes the iron oxide to rust which makes heat. The process is called exothermic oxidation!
Thanks for the latest vlog Will. Entertaining as usual. I believe a glass/cup of warm water, first thing in the morning, sipped, not drunk quickly, is really beneficial for the system. Your curve is definitely flattening in UK and spring is almost sprung. We are over the top of the covid hill and while it could be a slow but steady trip down the other side in low gear I feel positive for the first time that we are over the worst. Hot water bottle, great idea and you can use the warm water to have a quick wash in the morning.
Id love to do this, dont think Id get away with it in my VW T6 Camper van haha!! a bit obvious.... Great videos as always matey. If I am down your way (which I will be in the coming months) id love to see your set up and have a "stealth" duo camp.... I have a toilet though so your lucks out haha!!! only 3k subs here so about 97k behind you haha I also struggle with my mental health (especially so during these times) so I totally feel your worry while this crap is going on... Getting out is the BEST for the head... I hope you are feeling better now after your camp and after the great news from Bojo today!! I watch so many other youtubers while camping too...
Will your videos are awesome bud, your inspiring me and many other people to go out and try new thing and be creative. Your work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Thank you buddy
Hello it is Maarten , taxidriver in Christchurch Dorset. I in normal circumstances am often doing journeys to either Heathrow Airport or Gatwick AirPort . I know on this video where you are . I often stay around the corner in Horley . I have often slept in my taxi in Victoria Carpark which is free at night . Parking charges from 8 am as far as I recall. But I always park at the far end by houses . In the morning the public toilets open not too far of a walk. Lidl is two minutes walk . Waitrose near station . You may know where I am in Horley ! Wow if when allowed and you find yourself in Dorset would love to meet you . I cannot wait to camp out in my car , when visiting places of National Trust and English Heritage. So enjoy your videos here . Sending hugs 🤗 !
I would love to see you get a bigger van! I do know one thing, if you do decide to upgrade your vehicle then because you've started out in a Galaxy, whatever van you do get will seem so spacious! You've actually had it quite hard compared to most of us fulltimers, (so kudos to you), as we've got proper kitchen and bathroom setups and more space, especially the headroom! The fact that you're happy to car camp in a galaxy, means that vanlife would be a walk in the park for you by comparison! You've got a great positive attitude and outlook on life and I'm looking forward to your next video. :}
You may put a little bit of water in the food can, so kind of wash the food left on the walls of the can and then poor out the little bit of water into the cooking pot, so it doesn’t burn the food. Fire turned lower too.☺️
I've never seen a van that has side doors that open like a driver door. Mine slide. I love staying in my Van & I have a lot of the same exact items you have.
You need to either get a saucepan,,,or,, put water in jetboil and use boil in bag meals for a quick fix feedup... I allways keep plenty in van for emergency use.. You could drop the unopened tin of curry in the jetboil with water around it to heat it for a few mins... The tiny base of a jetboil is no use on solids,, far too hot...
Great video. Thank you for being honest about mental health. That's the second pandemic going on right now and the one that is not talked about enough and will have a longer impact. I'm with you. Been feeling blah lately. Some of that is def related to the weather here in the states (in the teens fahrenheit where I live last week). Hopefully as spring approaches we all begin to feel better.
I stealth camp in my car quite often but prefer quiet residential roads with limited street lights and no through traffic, preferably out of view from houses, eg near a village hall or church. Arrive late, leave early, don’t leave rubbish or other waste. Check overnight camping restrictions on signs. Simple really.
Gates and barriers are usually left open 24/7 at supermarkets, allows access to the 24 hour cash machines they all have now, and allows night staff to come and go. Just be careful on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day... Don't forget to check for ANPR cameras.
You gave a new meaning to 'fried rice'! 😂 'oh, you do dogging, do you?' 😂😂😂 classic Will chaos!!! Ive been watching some of your older videos, excited for the next video in series 2! Xo from 🇺🇸
Hey will. Saying hi from Australia in Melbourne. Understand that lockdown and covid is not great personally. But I think your videos and who you are, are amazing. I think the fact that not only myself but 100k people enjoy watching your videos mean that you have something special that not many others have. Hang in there and keep your head up. Just like your Ford Galaxy is always hanging in there, will you are truely amazing so take it a day at a time and know that you have a growing fan base everyday. Peace Lammy
Its nice to see your channel growing rapidly at a moment when you came to nepal .then when you returned back your channel stoped growing now again it is coming in nice way .
Maybe you could try a B&Q car park in your new van setup which looks very interesting by the way. I'll be looking forward to seeing the end result of your new stealth camper. The reason why im mentioning a B&Q car park or maybe IKEA car park is because a white trading van should fit in well at a DIY car park :)
You have to watch going out and coming back in of carparks! You can get done for double dipping as thy call it, If they have eagle eye you might get a fine
The Tesco may very well been 24 hour before the lockdown. In my job i go all over the place and I use many different Tesco’s all over. When lockdown happened every single one stopped being 24 hour. After the first lockdown end more added more hours, but Tesco still only has reduced hours all over the country. Thankfully they are gradually getting back to normal though.
Covid dosent help with mental illness my friend. We all have really low/bad days. Tomorrow is a new day and you should have massive motivation from your nearly 100k subscribers that you need to entertain. You have given me inspiration to do a Ford galaxy conversion that I know will help with my own mental health. Thank you 😊 🙏
You'll find most supermarket car-parks are open all the time as their are staff in overnight doing most of the restocking. Especially in those larger stores, they just have to close to the public. A bigger issue is that the car parks nowadays are monitored by CCTV with number plate recognition, so your entry and exit times will get logged. There is often a maximum stay like this one of 3 hours, and then a no-return clause of several hours, so stop you just leaving and coming back straight away.
Gotta say, I always look forward to your videos and adventures! You have such an engaging style of vlog and your humour is always on point, hilarious! Self care is important in these challenging times, glad you got yourself out on a stealth to boost your mental health.
You should get a small humidifier for your car, will help you health wise as well as keeping moisture out of the air. Also have you thought of stealth camping near a small village somewhere quite or even the seaside, would be a good video.
I must really be weird, I’m born and brought up in the UK and yet I fucking love the grey clouds, the pissing down of rain, the cold temperatures and the snow unlike the rest of the population!
this may sound silly but i live in hollywood and i grew up in southern california sunshine, so if there's no sun here, I get depressed. it's a thing. We have UV lamps. They lift ur mood. Try getting one Will. It could help.
Hi bro, please keep coming up with your awesome car camping vidz and would love to see more cooking inside the motor, try cook like a full English, stir drys, soups, burgers etc
Its tough for everyone at the moment , I know how you feel. Take care and do the things that make you happy. Find an awesome channel on you tube and follow it. That's what I did. The awesome channel is your channel, so thanks very much for that mate🤠
the suspense was building, waiting for the knocking on the window, it didn't come, so bit of a damp squib! But, hey, glad they didn't move you on! A positive frame of mind comes from within, you have freedom, you're becoming a messiah, lots of things to feel good about, and it is focusing on these and ignoring the negative thoughts that will help, here's to your 100k subscribers, what is going to be your giveaway??? Keep filming, your videos are quite addictive so you are doing something to be proud of!
I would get ready for the letter - well worth checking on Google Streetview before visiting if you're in any doubt next time, doing so for that Tesco shows a sign and cameras on the entrance to the car park. I'd guess being so close to Gatwick Tesco are red hot on it otherwise airport travellers and visitors would hammer it for free parking (LGW is pricey!). Really enjoy the content, I think what you're doing to find the fun and adventure in our everyday world is a great thing. Looking forward to more uploads!
Right, since you're at the super Tesco, you need a Battenberg, some Iced Gems a crusty pork pie and definitely some bourbon creams. And you can pack them up and ship the same to me in the US since I cant get back to the UK for a bit! 👍😆. 🌞
Jetboils are great for boiling water super quick, I believe there is a pan you can buy for “cooking”. Check out the Stockwell - chilli con carne available from Tesco it’s probably the best tin/heat up (shit in a can) available. Lol Great vids by the way :-)
Mate i love the stealth car camping. Dont get despondent. It is especially cool when you do it in and around london because it makes me think hey i could do that withoit going too far. Not even slightly bored. In fact while i wait for your new one, i go looking for other stealth car campers. Keep it up bruv.
My mental health has been pretty shit this lockdown but I do look forward to your videos every week! Hope the car gets sorted soon! Keep going and providing us brilliant content
Excellent video as always. When you're feeling down, remember you have close to 100k subscribers who reckon you're pretty awesome! Your videos do more for people than you think...they certainly give me a massive lift! And that Mercedes????....had all the space in the empty carpark, but oh no...had to park opposite you!!!
Not sure if you’ve see the channel The Amber Project. It’s a guy who converted an ambulance into a mobile home. He managed to do it very cheap so might be an option.
I think you have done great things with your mini camper it starts to look cozy, and it has made me think more about camping but in my case, it will be on an MC out in wild nature with some easy camping gear, just to relax and escape life now and then :)
Hi Will. Have you considered using earplugs? I work shifts and can highly recommend the silicone mushroom shaped type as they are very good at noise cancelling. You can get them on Amazon and are much better than the foam ones. Cy
Ahh mate you’re not meant to cook stuff in the jetboil zip’s mainly just use them for boiling water for the tea n coffee or dehydrated meals,I use the jetboil minimo and I’ve cooked loads on there,it also comes with the pot support and you can buy the skillet frying pan to add to this which is absolutely amazing and then you can litterally cook anything.fry ups steaks casseroles fish n chips the lot.Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling down buddy,just know we love your vids tho so thanks for taking the time to make them.Love all the new additions too you’ll be nice and toastie now with that lovely hot water bottle 😄
relly good video hope u did not get a ticket. im sure will all get our lives back. thank you for making the stealth car camping work even with Lockdown rules its really taken my mind off the stress of whats going on now days. keep it up dude and stay safe.
Less than 1900 to go before you hit the magical 100k and you get a play button trophy 🏆. Well done you superstar. Hope you get better soon. All the best
Hey up Will, just discovered your channel recently it's brilliant I've gotten loads of ideas cheers bro.. I'm doing my car in a similar way then of around the coast line.. I'm quite excited like a kid again haha.. I got brought a SAD lamp for Christmas that really help with the gloomy days it picks me up might be something you could try mate.. happy camping mate take care and be careful out there...
Mike from County Durham Will, nothing wrong with your choice of food BUT you just need to put a few spoons of water into your pan before you put in the food. Cheers.
As mentioned in another comment, most car parks don't use CCTV for parking enforcement, they use ANPR cameras located at the entrance and exit which capture the registration of vehicles entering and leaving. A photo is taken when you enter and a timestamp recorded, when you leave, another photo is taken, and another timestamp added, by simply comparing the two timestamps for a particular registration the system can automatically work out whether you've overstayed or not, and that's when they generate a parking charge notice, not to be confused with a PENALTY charge notice, which carry more weight.
@@WillsWhereabouts just a little Vauxhall combo. I don't really mind about the size + it gives me more of an excuse to spend time outside rather than in the van all the time:)
These videos are always quality. I knew that Tesco as soon as you were outside it. I park down near where you park all the time 🤣 just easier as no one else parks there!
Hi will hope you get your van sorted out soon. Please can you do your cooking in more detail. Even a separate video, when I go camping with my wife the most I can do on one hob is beans and sausages. It will mean you will put more videos out there and more AdSense cash. Something like Wills car cooking
Jet boil the clue is in the name it boils water quickly then you turn off and add to the water tea coffee freeze dried. Parking cameras take your reg no when you enter and when you leave
Pal I have started watching your videos and love them I know how u are feeling I suffer with depression and anxiety it is hard but we know we can talk to each other I am always here for chat buddi stay strong 💪
I hope you don’t get a fine Will 🤞🤞. Ford cars don’t age we’ll unfortunately....but sticking with the Focus would mean you can save more for travelling abroad, which is clearly where your heart is ☀️
Hi Will, great to see your videos every time. So, nice and full of entertainment too. Well present with so much fun and laugh sometime, which is very good for health. Stay safe and keep well. Whatever you doing awesome 👏🏻 and full of joy and so much entertaining. Also, I am learning some skills and techniques from your cooking and camping every time. Anyway, summer is coming soon and pandemic is going away. Hope for the best and keep doing for the good work. Thank you for your great videos.
Nice one Will. Understandable that your feeling a lack of motivation, I think many youtubers are feeling. I know I am. Fingers crossed freedom is near so chin up 👍
Your videos are cool man , your accent makes it cooler and its like your on a adventure like indianna jones but as an english man in the 21 century keep it up
This channel is the mutts nutts, love watching these stealth camps! Next time though Will you've gotta get your chefs hat on again and serve yourself up a decent meal on these adventures!!! 👍👍😃💯
Great video mate, you’ll get there times aren’t great at the moment. But credit to you mate. Good set up it’s the galaxy. Nice 👍 . All the best mate cheers
A lot of the supermarket and council parking lots have height restriction bars on the entrance ie cant park high top vans in them if u get another van that u stand in just be wary in other areas they have cameras on the entrance it sends them an alert when u drive out ie if u stayed over time u or not paid etc u get a fine in the post 2 weeks later most of the time the parking lots are not covered by security only in the store itself
I'm not how this ended up in my recommendations but I'm glad it did! Never seen this stealth camping before. Reminds me of Top Gear where they kitted out their estate cars. Quality video, I've now subbed 👌
I know what you are saying but everything has a time span, he's got 100k with that van and he will be happier in a bigger van and it's something different for his current 100k viewers.
Love your videos mate. Just thinking maybe you could get some of those disposable moisture traps and leave a few in the car when you go to sleep. Or possibly invest in a small dehumidifier.

Thanks very much Carol. Haha I'm sure even if I do get a van there will be problems that come with that
Used to work in a supermarket. Nobody closes the gates as the car park always had staff cars going in and out on night shift.
Came to the comments to find you. Thank you!

Been feeling blah lately. Some of that is def related to the weather here in the states (in the teens fahrenheit where I live last week). Hopefully as spring approaches we all begin to feel better.
I stealth camp in my car quite often but prefer quiet residential roads with limited street lights and no through traffic, preferably out of view from houses, eg near a village hall or church. Arrive late, leave early, don’t leave rubbish or other waste. Check overnight camping restrictions on signs. Simple really.
Gates and barriers are usually left open 24/7 at supermarkets, allows access to the 24 hour cash machines they all have now, and allows night staff to come and go. Just be careful on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day...
Don't forget to check for ANPR cameras.
You gave a new meaning to 'fried rice'! 😂 'oh, you do dogging, do you?' 😂😂😂 classic Will chaos!!! Ive been watching some of your older videos, excited for the next video in series 2! Xo from 🇺🇸
Hey will. Saying hi from Australia in Melbourne. Understand that lockdown and covid is not great personally. But I think your videos and who you are, are amazing. I think the fact that not only myself but 100k people enjoy watching your videos mean that you have something special that not many others have. Hang in there and keep your head up. Just like your Ford Galaxy is always hanging in there, will you are truely amazing so take it a day at a time and know that you have a growing fan base everyday. Peace Lammy
I just picked up a GB40 myself I used it for the first time today. I’ve enjoyed your content keep up the great work.
Its nice to see your channel growing rapidly at a moment when you came to nepal .then when you returned back your channel stoped growing now again it is coming in nice way .
Thank you so much 😀
Dogging in Tesco carpark 😆🤣 Will the legend strikes again great mate 👍
HAHAH
The packet rice things and the tinned stuff pretty much only needs warming up. So definitely use a low heat
Maybe you could try a B&Q car park in your new van setup which looks very interesting by the way. I'll be looking forward to seeing the end result of your new stealth camper. The reason why im mentioning a B&Q car park or maybe IKEA car park is because a white trading van should fit in well at a DIY car park :)
I feel ya about not feeling good. Def shit at the moment. I'm looking forward to travelling again. Thanks for the vid and good luck with the dogging 🤪
You have to watch going out and coming back in of carparks! You can get done for double dipping as thy call it, If they have eagle eye you might get a fine
The Tesco may very well been 24 hour before the lockdown. In my job i go all over the place and I use many different Tesco’s all over. When lockdown happened every single one stopped being 24 hour. After the first lockdown end more added more hours, but Tesco still only has reduced hours all over the country. Thankfully they are gradually getting back to normal though.
Ive been vehicle camping a long long time... 1lb peanutbutter jars are WAY easier to use in the middle of the night
Covid dosent help with mental illness my friend. We all have really low/bad days. Tomorrow is a new day and you should have massive motivation from your nearly 100k subscribers that you need to entertain.
You have given me inspiration to do a Ford galaxy conversion that I know will help with my own mental health. Thank you 😊 🙏
You'll find most supermarket car-parks are open all the time as their are staff in overnight doing most of the restocking. Especially in those larger stores, they just have to close to the public. A bigger issue is that the car parks nowadays are monitored by CCTV with number plate recognition, so your entry and exit times will get logged. There is often a maximum stay like this one of 3 hours, and then a no-return clause of several hours, so stop you just leaving and coming back straight away.
Gotta say, I always look forward to your videos and adventures! You have such an engaging style of vlog and your humour is always on point, hilarious! Self care is important in these challenging times, glad you got yourself out on a stealth to boost your mental health.
You should get a small humidifier for your car, will help you health wise as well as keeping moisture out of the air. Also have you thought of stealth camping near a small village somewhere quite or even the seaside, would be a good video.
I must really be weird, I’m born and brought up in the UK and yet I fucking love the grey clouds, the pissing down of rain, the cold temperatures and the snow unlike the rest of the population!
this may sound silly but i live in hollywood and i grew up in southern california sunshine, so if there's no sun here, I get depressed. it's a thing. We have UV lamps. They lift ur mood. Try getting one Will. It could help.
Vitamin D is so important to us
Hi bro, please keep coming up with your awesome car camping vidz and would love to see more cooking inside the motor, try cook like a full English, stir drys, soups, burgers etc
From Wish you can get another version of the Fan that is a heating element, and it can deliver a lot of heat, just plugged into a USB. About £15.
Its tough for everyone at the moment , I know how you feel. Take care and do the things that make you happy. Find an awesome channel on you tube and follow it. That's what I did. The awesome channel is your channel, so thanks very much for that mate🤠
the suspense was building, waiting for the knocking on the window, it didn't come, so bit of a damp squib! But, hey, glad they didn't move you on!
A positive frame of mind comes from within, you have freedom, you're becoming a messiah, lots of things to feel good about, and it is focusing on these and ignoring the negative thoughts that will help, here's to your 100k subscribers, what is going to be your giveaway???
Keep filming, your videos are quite addictive so you are doing something to be proud of!
We remove front number plates due to Tesco cameras.put it on dash board and cover with his vest before getting to tesco..
It has limited parking to keep people from parking there and then taking a flight. I am a strange person because I love days like you described.
I would get ready for the letter - well worth checking on Google Streetview before visiting if you're in any doubt next time, doing so for that Tesco shows a sign and cameras on the entrance to the car park. I'd guess being so close to Gatwick Tesco are red hot on it otherwise airport travellers and visitors would hammer it for free parking (LGW is pricey!).
Really enjoy the content, I think what you're doing to find the fun and adventure in our everyday world is a great thing. Looking forward to more uploads!
Right, since you're at the super Tesco, you need a Battenberg, some Iced Gems a crusty pork pie and definitely some bourbon creams. And you can pack them up and ship the same to me in the US since I cant get back to the UK for a bit! 👍😆. 🌞
Jetboils are great for boiling water super quick, I believe there is a pan you can buy for “cooking”. Check out the Stockwell - chilli con carne available from Tesco it’s probably the best tin/heat up (shit in a can) available. Lol
Great vids by the way :-)
Mate i love the stealth car camping. Dont get despondent. It is especially cool when you do it in and around london because it makes me think hey i could do that withoit going too far. Not even slightly bored. In fact while i wait for your new one, i go looking for other stealth car campers. Keep it up bruv.
My mental health has been pretty shit this lockdown but I do look forward to your videos every week! Hope the car gets sorted soon! Keep going and providing us brilliant content
Excellent video as always. When you're feeling down, remember you have close to 100k subscribers who reckon you're pretty awesome!
Your videos do more for people than you think...they certainly give me a massive lift!
And that Mercedes????....had all the space in the empty carpark, but oh no...had to park opposite you!!!
Best uk stealth camper by far ,got my theory test booked for march then hopefully do pratical and buy a van to convert 👍🏻👍🏻
Not sure if you’ve see the channel The Amber Project. It’s a guy who converted an ambulance into a mobile home. He managed to do it very cheap so might be an option.
I think you have done great things with your mini camper it starts to look cozy, and it has made me think more about camping but in my case, it will be on an MC out in wild nature with some easy camping gear, just to relax and escape life now and then :)
It’s 6:30am I can’t sleep I’ve just found your channel I’ve never seen anyone do this from the uk before I’m definitely subbing!
Hi Will. Have you considered using earplugs? I work shifts and can highly recommend the silicone mushroom shaped type as they are very good at noise cancelling. You can get them on Amazon and are much better than the foam ones. Cy
Ahh mate you’re not meant to cook stuff in the jetboil zip’s mainly just use them for boiling water for the tea n coffee or dehydrated meals,I use the jetboil minimo and I’ve cooked loads on there,it also comes with the pot support and you can buy the skillet frying pan to add to this which is absolutely amazing and then you can litterally cook anything.fry ups steaks casseroles fish n chips the lot.Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling down buddy,just know we love your vids tho so thanks for taking the time to make them.Love all the new additions too you’ll be nice and toastie now with that lovely hot water bottle 😄
Thanks very much Jenny! I'll be using the jet boil for noodles and a cuppa only from now on haha
Large lukazade bottle is really good for a good two maybe three whizzes, just remember to mark the cap. 👍👍👍
relly good video hope u did not get a ticket. im sure will all get our lives back.
thank you for making the stealth car camping work even with Lockdown rules its really taken my
mind off the stress of whats going on now days. keep it up dude and stay safe.
Hot water bottle is a must I love mine when fishing in the winter
Less than 1900 to go before you hit the magical 100k and you get a play button trophy 🏆. Well done you superstar. Hope you get better soon. All the best
You can buy pop up roof conversion kits for galaxys. You’ll probably even find a universal one that would work too?
Hey up Will, just discovered your channel recently it's brilliant I've gotten loads of ideas cheers bro.. I'm doing my car in a similar way then of around the coast line.. I'm quite excited like a kid again haha..
I got brought a SAD lamp for Christmas that really help with the gloomy days it picks me up might be something you could try mate.. happy camping mate take care and be careful out there...
Mike from County Durham Will, nothing wrong with your choice of food BUT you just need to put a few spoons of water into
your pan before you put in the food. Cheers.
As mentioned in another comment, most car parks don't use CCTV for parking enforcement, they use ANPR cameras located at the entrance and exit which capture the registration of vehicles entering and leaving. A photo is taken when you enter and a timestamp recorded, when you leave, another photo is taken, and another timestamp added, by simply comparing the two timestamps for a particular registration the system can automatically work out whether you've overstayed or not, and that's when they generate a parking charge notice, not to be confused with a PENALTY charge notice, which carry more weight.
Bought myself a little van yesterday! 🙌 Might see you on the road one day!
These replies though... 👀😂😂
What did you buy?
HAHAHA
@@WillsWhereabouts just a little Vauxhall combo. I don't really mind about the size + it gives me more of an excuse to spend time outside rather than in the van all the time:)
These videos are always quality. I knew that Tesco as soon as you were outside it. I park down near where you park all the time 🤣 just easier as no one else parks there!
Hi will hope you get your van sorted out soon. Please can you do your cooking in more detail. Even a separate video, when I go camping with my wife the most I can do on one hob is beans and sausages. It will mean you will put more videos out there and more AdSense cash. Something like Wills car cooking
Jet boil the clue is in the name it boils water quickly then you turn off and add to the water tea coffee freeze dried.
Parking cameras take your reg no when you enter and when you leave
Pal I have started watching your videos and love them I know how u are feeling I suffer with depression and anxiety it is hard but we know we can talk to each other I am always here for chat buddi stay strong 💪
This was very entertaining and VERY silly
Keep em coming
Hope you have your LPG sorted
Keep the videos coming mate. We are all getting through this covid stuff together. Best regards from America.
I hope you don’t get a fine Will 🤞🤞. Ford cars don’t age we’ll unfortunately....but sticking with the Focus would mean you can save more for travelling abroad, which is clearly where your heart is ☀️
I hope so too
Hi Will, great to see your videos every time. So, nice and full of entertainment too. Well present with so much fun and laugh sometime, which is very good for health.
Stay safe and keep well. Whatever you doing awesome 👏🏻 and full of joy and so much entertaining. Also, I am learning some skills and techniques from your cooking and camping every time.
Anyway, summer is coming soon and pandemic is going away. Hope for the best and keep doing for the good work. Thank you for your great videos.
Nice one Will. Understandable that your feeling a lack of motivation, I think many youtubers are feeling. I know I am. Fingers crossed freedom is near so chin up 👍
Your videos are cool man , your accent makes it cooler and its like your on a adventure like indianna jones but as an english man in the 21 century keep it up
This channel is the mutts nutts, love watching these stealth camps!
Next time though Will you've gotta get your chefs hat on again and serve yourself up a decent meal on these adventures!!! 👍👍😃💯
Great video mate, you’ll get there times aren’t great at the moment. But credit to you mate. Good set up it’s the galaxy. Nice 👍 . All the best mate cheers
A lot of the supermarket and council parking lots have height restriction bars on the entrance ie cant park high top vans in them if u get another van that u stand in just be wary in other areas they have cameras on the entrance it sends them an alert when u drive out ie if u stayed over time u or not paid etc u get a fine in the post 2 weeks later most of the time the parking lots are not covered by security only in the store itself
Thanks for the info Gareth, I'm sure I'll be getting a fine
@@WillsWhereabouts that depends how good the company that Tesco uses usually they asleep at the other end....
I'm not how this ended up in my recommendations but I'm glad it did! Never seen this stealth camping before. Reminds me of Top Gear where they kitted out their estate cars. Quality video, I've now subbed 👌
@@richardmelvin3800 South East England 👍
congrats on the dedicated bottle ..big upgrade ! 😂
Just bought a Jetboil. It arrived on Thursday, but the gas didn’t. Hopefully it’ll arrive this week and I’ll get to use it up our local mountain.
Going to be shame when you drop the Galaxy for a camper, its the one thing that really stood out between you and others😔.
I like his style over others though - great camerawork, lighthearted and wholesome content. For me, the vehicle won't matter 🤷🏻♂️
@@jrb20082 I agree fully
@@jrb20082 his vehicle is great, but very limiting. he cooks on his bed!
I know what you are saying but everything has a time span, he's got 100k with that van and he will be happier in a bigger van and it's something different for his current 100k viewers.
It's the next step to getting something more spacious
Other great video mate, your jetboil system is only for boiling water because is so rapid, keep them videos coming doing a great job. Ady
Thanks, will do!
I nearly had a heart attack when you added the food to the Jetboil cup!! Deffo just for water!
Love your videos mate. Just thinking maybe you could get some of those disposable moisture traps and leave a few in the car when you go to sleep. Or possibly invest in a small dehumidifier.
Good idea and I've just picked some up so will have to see how they work
Dude u really help me start and end my day slightly better love from Nepal ThankYou
