@@happycreativemind Have you thought about a van update on how your van is doing since the conversion I like your trekking gear videos very interesting safe travels 👌🍻
@@deranocasper we we’re going to do one this weekend just gone but we haven’t really done much to it since the last video so there’s not much to show and often van trip are a bit of time away so the film crew stay home 🙂
I've stayed here before. Only just realised 2nd time of watching.. Family tent between the trees off season. Hidden gem past the b and q! 😂 Good base for peak and Buxton trips
Hi Paul, I have subscribed to your videos there are brill, I was wondering how good/effective your tristar heater was and if you are able to run it off of a power pack like the Ecoflow river pro? Anyway, keep the videos coming and if you are ever passing the Lake district message me and pop in for a cuppa, cheers John W
Nice to see your wife in this video as another lady camper. Keep them coming. I should have gone camping this week but instead did a do it yourself home project with flooring. Hope weather wasn't too bad.
A friend of mines wife hit him over the head with the frying pan, he woke the next morning with a thumping head ache thinking it was the booze until he cracked an egg in the pan and the bastard thing circled the outside of the pan 😣
Paul and Jo I know your the PROFESSORS when it comes to wild camping and I’m abducted to your channel lol I’ve had VW CAMPER VANS for about 20 years can I just give you a little tip you need a wind breaker around that cooker there crap in the wind and also as the bottle get 3/4 empty it takes 15 minutes to boil a kettle lol also the windbreak will stop the grey curtains being splattered with fat out the frying pan 🍳 Lovely job on the camper though credit to you both. You can’t beat a self made camper it’s so personal (bespoke) only you 2 know what you need and where to put things. Until a silly bloke tell you a windbreak would be good lol it’s up to you 2 though x
Hi paul i am a big fan of your channell,i am a buxton lad,i saw you in morrisons friday but didnt get chance to speak to you,great video once again all the best Kev
I have a giggle watching you and your good lady. As just mirror image of us. Shes into camping etc etc as it's all brand new to her. Where as I did it 20 plus yrs ago including mountaineering just before I met her. Been there done it 🤣🤣 hit 50 like my home comforts and the warmth lol like jo now. I still camp on the odd occasion to keep her happy lol 🤪🤪 but in my head I dream of big fire comfy sofa and a rum in hand 🤣🤣. I salute you jo ! We are wild camping Widows!!🤣🤣
Love the vids. I have loads more to watch still and thanks for this one. Reggie is popular with us as our dogs are watching every second too. #BREWDOG # PAULMESSNER #HAPPYCAMPER #HAPPYDAYS
That was a nice video Paul. I like your camping van that is a nice set up. That was funny how your wife took your pair of socks. That is one thing I don't have to worry about because I have very very extremely wide feet. my foot is 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe with very fat wide toe that are equally straight across. My foot outgrew shoes , socks , & boots 35 years ago so I don't own a pair of socks. I like your dog I take it's a black lab? Look like a very nice calm dog. I watch your livestream that you just did and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your videos you have been making I have really enjoyed watching them.
Downright cozy! I'm looking forward to having a similar setup once the kids are gone and I can finally retire! God bless and may the Good Lord give you long life to enjoy it all.
Just got back today from bike packing in Tissington and it was slightly wet n windy 😳, but got to try out my DD Superlight with Alpkit bivvy, great bit of kit.
Hi Paul! Great video! I was wondering if you could do a review on the gear doctor sleeping pad, at just 100 pounds and a 5.2 r value I think it would make a really great and interesting review, Keep up the great work,
You wife seems like a lovely person. My wife and I camp together in a 32 foot travel trailer. Our boys are grown so it is just the two of us and our dog. We have that same "playful bickering". Keeps things interesting. Love seeing the van videos and the scenery was amazing.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
The missus did that van well. Looks cozy. No idea who downvoted this, but they're daft. The love and joy you two share with one another is a real pick me up!
To address the most important point here: usually, for me, it's mustard on bacon, ketchup on burgers, brown sauce on meat pies (unless with spuds & veg; then it's gravy), mayo on chicken, horseradish on fish. Yum!
Van looking great
Looks very cosy!
Always brown
Most definitely brown bud
Enjoyed that ... why do they call an empty Tower "Solomon's Temple ".
Looks so much fun
just came across your channel and watched a few videos. I really like how you take things slowly and peacefully
Love her boots 🙈😂
Lovely van Paul lovely set up well put together please can you tell me where you purchased the diesel heater from cheers Stephen
It was an ebay purchase I believe 🙂

Nice looking bit of steak as well
brown always got be brown sauce and smoked bacon from butchers
I live in buxton paul might bump into you one day
Brown sauce every time, must be on ration in your area going by how much you used.
We use a low wattage electric induction hob when we have an electric hookup saves gas, and “red”on bacon😎
I do like these van videos 👍
Where did u get ur curtains
I've stayed here before. Only just realised 2nd time of watching.. Family tent between the trees off season. Hidden gem past the b and q! 😂 Good base for peak and Buxton trips
oh, that pup!!
Nice van... wonderful couple 😍
You should put the carbon monoxide detector near the floor or at head level since carbon monoxide it lays close to floor.
Gourmet dining and a bit of Brewdog too, nice 👍
Link for them tarp clips mate
Sorry don’t have a link.
@@PaulMessner found them on eBay
By eck tha's a lucky man. A beautiful wire and a fantastic van.
RED
Nice to see you take your bacon with HP brown sauce and not the red stuff. 😂🥓
Hi Paul can you tell me where you bought the rubber suction mounts for your awning thanks love the videos
Red 🤣 I’ve got a Vivaro I’m just gonna get a foldable camp bed for and slum it this winter 😂
Yellow - English mustard.
cool
Great van conversion!! Keep the carbon monoxide alarm low down. Carbon monoxide is heavier than air. Just a tip I got told. 👍🏻👍🏻
funky kettle
You have done a great job on the van conversion. Well done. You have done a great presentation, Well done Paul.🙂🙂
Don't come knocking if the vans a rocking!
Great video

No red or brown for me. Just plenty of butter.
Van looks great👍
Brown
A friend of mines wife hit him over the head with the frying pan, he woke the next morning with a thumping head ache thinking it was the booze until he cracked an egg in the pan and the bastard thing circled the outside of the pan 😣
I don’t understand why but your vid’s are just a good laugh to watch, cheers for making my do day.
Nice one dude
Vans looking great,Paul.
How is your diesel heater working for you?
Brown on bacon 👍👍
Can Big Dan come round join in lol
I've just bought bottle of the brewdog gin for a Christmas present.
Bottle looks cool.
Campervan looks ace,happy days.
Looking like a lot of fun!!
Brown sauce every time.
BTW, That ladder looks a bit bendy.
Van is looking smart Paul!
Bacon sandwich with HP sauce❤️
Ha ha - the contents of your fridge are v relatable 👍
when it's windy like that dont give up on the tarp but loose the poles. If you tied into the trees you would have been alright :)
Beautiful

The vans looking fantastic!
No sauce, only butter. Melt it towards the end of cooking so it doesn't brown too much and finish with a pinch of salt (I know, but trust me)
Love what you have done to the van. Very well thought out. Glad you are getting out and enjoying the fruits of labour.
I love that kettle! It's disco with a traditional country kitchen twist.
Hi paul i am a big fan of your channell,i am a buxton lad,i saw you in morrisons friday but didnt get chance to speak to you,great video once again all the best Kev
Van looks fab, red on bacon brown on sausages. Mustard to stop Reggie pinching the food!
Oh, wish we had the coffee duo here in the states. Jo and yourself sure know to live it up

Reggie is popular with us as our dogs are watching every second too.

oh did I say #BREWDOG ? ;)
Get ursen doing nc500 in that paul. Highly recommended, beautiful people, scenery,
It’s on the list!
The van is looking fab, looking forward to more of your adventures 🙂
Love the vids, dog is adorable too!!
Paul how was that heater. Need to buy one for my converted T6.
@Paul Messner need some good tent pegs for use on fields, any recommendations?

Beer, Chocolate, Steak, does it get any better than this!
No question. Brown. Ketchup is the Devil’s food.
Downright cozy! I'm looking forward to having a similar setup once the kids are gone and I can finally retire! God bless and may the Good Lord give you long life to enjoy it all.
Just got back today from bike packing in Tissington and it was slightly wet n windy 😳, but got to try out my DD Superlight with Alpkit bivvy, great bit of kit.
Stayed at that campsite last September when a campervan caught fire, you could still see the damage on the trees. Great video 👍👍
Hope you’re all okay!
@@happycreativemind everybody was ok but the van was burnt out and a couple of caravans very badly damaged
Man, that dinner…
Might be an idea to watch the flame on the cooker near your curtains 👍 atb 🙂
Reggie is such a darling! Very mild tempered considering his age and breed, I'm sure he's loving the experiences provided by his parents.
Hello, which suction cups did you use, please?
Hi Paul! Great video! I was wondering if you could do a review on the gear doctor sleeping pad, at just 100 pounds and a 5.2 r value I think it would make a really great and interesting review,
Keep up the great work,
One of each, love both sauces 🤣😂👌
That van is looking absolutely incredible now!! Good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The Van..!! Lovely to see the 3 of you enjoying some camping time together Paul. Happy days our kid.
Brown but a lot more of it. The van looks superb - better than a tent?
Great vid again. Nice to see your wife embracing your new venture with you.
red and brown with fried onions

DOOD!
Did you name the van and the dog after the Kray Twins on purpose?
Red or brown?? Is that even a question? Brown is the only option!
Great to see you out in the van Paul .
You and Jo have done a great job with the van looks great

Lovely cabin look and I love the table - that is smart. Stylish kettle ...home from home, even pooch. Good coverage from Jo-Cook cam.
Can’t see no hendersons in the kitchen 😉
Good to see use out in the van 👍
No marinade on that steak?
To address the most important point here: usually, for me, it's mustard on bacon, ketchup on burgers, brown sauce on meat pies (unless with spuds & veg; then it's gravy), mayo on chicken, horseradish on fish. Yum!
Wtf mustard on bacon ?? Red or brown Sir , surely !
Enjoyed the live chat Saturday night. Hope they become more regular👍
Hey! Are you gonna make a video (series) about the van, and making it? Would love to see more of it!
Hi, there is a playlist on the channel on the van build 🙂
