Yeah low key (stealth) van camping is pretty easy. This guy with the lights blazing, chimney smoking and steps up the backside is never going to blend in.
you would think. All these signs starting popping up recently. It makes me sad at the lack of humanity our modern society has.I had someone post a sign while i was sitting in my van once, just after I witnessed a verbal and physical assault on a nearby vehicle. We were both parked on a public parking area near a beach@@justinm9832
@@justinm9832 no, if you look any constitution of any free country in the world, you have the right to transit, not to live anywhere in public space, be it in a tent, under blankets, on a stealth camper or a log cabin with wheels.
As the saying goes, "There are two types of people in the world. Those who want to be left alone, and those who won't leave you alone." Sorry that happened to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery after the upcoming surgery. Great video. Cheers.
Timmy, you’re a warrior - no sweat buddy, give it a couple of more years and 25% of the population will be living on the streets because of the impossible costs of living ….. Living in your van will be seen upon as a normal thing ….. stay safe and stay free buddy !
All these people roaming around in their vehicles should organize legally then spend time going to city and county meeting to bring enough attention to various locations around the county and have the government councils approve space for designated parking/overnight stay with rules to follow and penalties for those that abuse them. If an organized group pushes an agenda enough they will eventually either find locations sympathetic to the cause or simply convince local governments that it benefits their area. You'd ahve to produce a series of benefits to the situation. Otherwise this "van life" movement mostly comes across as vagrancy. Other options would be to find campsites that allow for vehicle parking and pay $2-$5 a night > like IDK a State or National Park. IDK about Alaska but in the US South East there a re a shit ton of State/National Parks with a range of campsite types. You are already not paying rent - so coughing up a few bucks to legally park somewhere over night like a Park is a no brainer.
YOUR not alone...here in Canada they are making it hard on the community that resides in Vans...etc, cracking down on the right to park in once legal areas are becoming more and more obsolete!!! But in fairness....its the individuals who are NOT respectful of their garbage, noise ...etc....By Laws are growing!!! But in your case ....I guess there NOT fans of your channel....lol (Which is ABSurd)....Keep trucking Timmie and thank you for all that you post!!! Warmest of regards, 1000 islands Canada
Canada is just rooting to go deeper than the abyss. Canada is at its lowest right now, or has been. For a country that isn't considered a third world country, we sure do act like it sometimes = controlled.
More and more are being forced to live in Van's, motorhomes, trailers because of the lack of rent control enforcement. This what happens when greedy land owners start putting the squeeze on middle and lower class human beings. The rich trying to all become lords again..lol😂. Even RV park rents are insane because these giant motor homes with full house utility costs take advantage of full time living at RV parks and this raises rents!!! The little guy in the travel trailers get bsed into paying high rates too😢
Yep it’s happening all over. A couple years ago I walked into a USA Forest Service office here in E. WA State and asked questions about boon docking. I was treated like a homeless person looking for a free spot to live. I own my own house but enjoy camping in my RV sometimes. The Forest Ranger rudely told me to just go online and book days at campgrounds. They’re always booked up about 9 months to a year in advance. I prefer to go when ever I feel in the mood and if the weather suits me.
A little tip for you next time you make bacon is to cook it in the oven in the same cookie pan you used for the crackers. Line it with foil and bake it on 400 for 15-20 minutes until its your level of crispness. Its evenly cooked this way and doesn't splatter all over the place. Also makes it easy to pour the grease out of the foil and into a mason jar for cooking later.
Just tried your recipe. So darn good ,thank you Tim I just started watching you about a month ago and I have watched probably 50 or 60 videos I absolutely love your channel and I literally look forward to coming home from work to watch it it's so relaxing
I also started watching you a month ago !! I have been off work due to surgery and i dont know how but your channel showed up on my feed and I saw a 7.3L diesel and a small house on the back of it ....i clicked now im hooked...ive been binge watching since ive been off of work for a month....keep it up Timmy bro you do some cool stuff ...Love your awesome channel and im glad i found it.
Something that might help open up your sinuses in the winter is a small, humidifier. Just walk outside, scoop up a big handful of that pure snow, heat it up to room temp on your stove, pour it in the humidifier reservoir and turn it on. The humidity will also make the air feel warmer so you can turn the thermostat down too.
Awesome video as always Timmy. It's getting harder and harder for Van Lifers in the USA and Canada because of irresponsible people who don't respects the unwritten rules of Van life and it's hard for the ones of do respects the rules.
Yes they do. We've been able to stay right there next to the small hotel type building that houses their long distance patents. I'm not sure the name of it is but I'm thinking it's called the Heritage house. I know it Starts with an H. We were allowed to actually stay in the hotel being we are from Trapper Creek Alaska, but we had our van that's weatherize to live in, so we just stayed in it for 5 days in that parking lot instead. They didn't mind. Otherwise they'd have housed him indoors as long as his mailing address is more than 100 miles away from Anchorage.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism it depends on where and what US State and or City your living in! I know Seattle was cracking down on it on several fronts as 1 guy was renting out several dilapidated motor homes to homeless and or junkies, and the sewage and garbage issues that come with it, as well as public nuisance and crime issues! a few bad apples ruin it for everyone else.........
I've been doing trucklife/rvlife for 20 years, but the last 16 as a trucker . It's hard to get parking no matter where your at. Btw, good luck with the surgery, Tim.
We were cruising around outside Portland OR in my converted E350 shuttle bus. Its painted nice and not a big POS.. got to a campground around 9pm at night, last RV space in the camp. Not an hour later we were kicked out because we didnt need to plug into the electric or water. Like wtf. Love your content Tim!
Boy do I ever relate with the nasal issues.. been climbing that mountain for years an just now getting to the point where surgery may be the only option and I'm honestly super scared. Nothing worse, wish the best for you man hope it all works out!
Dude love the videos so much! I dont have the family dynamic to live on the road like you do but it lets me into a space ive always been curious about. Thank you for letting us peer into this life!
Timmy I think you’re a really nice guy I enjoyed watching your videos it never the same its not canoeing with your friends building house or just cooking in your truck house it’s always amazing thank for sharing such a wonderful journey ❤
Still live in Anchorage , but used to live in an RV in Anchorage. It was not an ideal lifestyle given people would almost always call you in. I still support it though. I think having a stealthier vehicle is the key and not staying at one location for more than a night. Also like you were saying: be good stewards so you don’t ruin it for everyone.
A man, his oven and some bacon. A beautiful thing. Thanks for my newest favorite munchie. And dessert too. Good luck with your surgery. Hope this round is successful. No Michael Jackson jokes. Don't poke the surgeon bear.
You almost made Bananas Foster. All you needed was brown sugar instead of the honey and a little rum to deglaze the pan. Then you'd flambé the alcohol off with a lighter or tilting the pan toward the stove flame. Pour that over some good vanilla bean ice cream. Then it's nap time!
Yes it’s really neat! My five year old nephew begs me to open you tube so he can watch “da cool dude who lives in da snow place wif da cool playhouse on his truck wif da smol oven where he makes cookies” 😂 that’s a direct quote too. Cracks me up lol
Focus your wide angle lens to infinity and turn off auto focus. That way, everything will be in focus and stay in focus. Notice your drone shots are always in focus. This is why- wide angle lens- set to infinity- no auto focus.
I hope you sort through the nasal issues. Nothing like clear nasal passages. I too suffered from nasal issues but fortunately after 2 surgeries I am breathing very comfortably. Rooting for you . Keep us posted. Great channel by the way. Just discovered it about a week ago.
Thanks for the info on the Mukluks. I got a glimpse of yours in a previous video and it took me about 4 days of searching the web to figure out what they were. Mine should be here tomorrow! Hope the next surgery is a total success! Thanks Timmy 🙏🏼
The anti-camper thing is a part of the war on the homeless. When I worked for the census I reported accurate numbers of the people living in campers, vans, tents etc, and the government supervisors kept sending them back, claiming they were “too high.” Eventually they fired me.
Lol. They don't want to know the truth. Our country is being systematically destroyed by an ever more broken system that is rotting from the inside out thanks to bribes (lobbying) and spineless career politicians.
the homeless population is going to wage war soon.....because the numbers are climbing at insane levels!! I myself who used to be able to afford my own apartment alone can no longer afford to live alone.....i am renting a room in Washington state for almost 200 more than my own place 5 years ago....its sick!
Oh dude, I've seen your truck set up at home Depot once in Anchorage. So sick to see it in person, and weird coincidence that I just ran into your channel lol
I found your channel about a month ago, and it is awesome!! I am a Georgia girl and have never been to Alaska, but watching your channel makes me feel like i have. Beautiful scenery and editing. Keep up the wonderful work and best of luck with your surgery❤❤
Thanks for the video. Sinus surgery, I feel ya man. Had my sinuses reamed out 5+ times before it took. Haven't had any trouble going on 20 years now. Good luck to ya, hope it works this time.
Sending heartfelt prayers for a speedy recovery from your surgery 🙏 ❤️ Sadly, some people will always ruin it for others. Living in the forest, I see this with dispersed camping areas closing because of irresponsible people.
Timmy, I lived in a van in Anchorage for 2 years before deciding on Willow. I didnt have any issues with where i parked ever. But things have changed now,too bad too. Ill have to try your recipe,seems easy. Thanks, BigT
Anchorage is difficult now.....even along the Seward Hiway between Anc and Girdwood..I got the knock last fall...cop was cool though and made suggestions on how to get around it..
You never know with the police these days. They can be normal humans, or have you on the ground with their knee on your neck in less than 30 seconds screaming at you to stop resisting.
Another great episode. After getting some good advice from the subscribers in this channel and from a Powerstroke Technician, I am planning on testing and replacing my glow plug relay, and any crappy wiring I find under my valve covers when I replace my 3 year old batteries.
Right on...my 1999 F350...the glow plug relay....and glow plugs...were replaced.... On the colder mornings...I run the wait to start twice, perhaps it helps... And she fires right up... While not being the most powerful- that engine...is remarkable. And no DEF juice. Ya oil is a little out of hand but I drain the and replace 17 quarts at about 3500 miles... I am glad Timmy has the 7.3...It is almost bulletproof and hardly breaks a sweat...
came across your channel not too long ago....binge watched your episodes on your attempt to get to the arctic ocean. definitely a fan! good luck with your surgery!
@@TruckHouseLife , I have a deviated septum myself, had an accident as a child - school bus driver fault which caused me all sorts of problems but I never had surgery. I kept having nosebleeds and one side has been ~90% "blocked" but I've endured it throughout life, use "breathing strips" when needed etc. Anyway, maybe you need to come down to the States if things don't work out which hopefully it will this time. It's been some years back I had a class with a guy who had surgery here and he could move papers from across the room, lol. He told me he had a deviated septum & had surgery & his was a success. Anyway, a bit of a bum for someone to bother a man minding his own business in his camper, not bothering anyone.🙄I'm not sure if I could handle the Jalapeno's but an interesting treat as was the dessert although I was thinking more along the lines of banana pudding! ^_^ Stay safe, looking forward to the next update!
You are very respectful man I've never heard you have any outburst towards anybody in your videos since I've been a subscriber that blows me away that anybody would kick you out of anywhere. Whoever did it there's a special place for that person and that's all I'm going to say. Sending you lots of love and sorry that happened to you. 💯❤️🦋🖕🙌🙏.
@@tupapa9298a good way of life...ask yourself what would Jesus do? Would He have ran anyone off from resting? You can tell the tree from it's fruit it bares.
Oh wow, I see freedom snatching has made its way to the last frontier as well. Then again, like you said it is Anchorage and "city life" which tends to regulate when you are allowed to take a crap.
I was so glad to have access to the campground on Elmendorf AFB to overnight there. Anchorage is a big city and as sketchy/dangerous as many of the big cities in the lower 48. The auto parts store we stopped at to get a couple hose clamps had bullet holes in the front door glass. The guys who changed our oil at the oil change place (dealer couldn't get us in) were nice guys, but they were obviously members of one of the Samoan street gangs there.
I have lived in Arizona for ten years now. I live off grid here so I understand extremes in nature. It's super tough and your experience looks so refreshing.
Nice seeing ya kiddo! It's been a while since I've been here. I love the recipe for the Ritz! I watch a UA-cam Channel that does something simular to the surgery that uses a baloon to open up that cartilage in the nose. The patient is awake while Dr does it. Looks pretty painfull. I'm a woos and I'd want to to be under. I have a lady friend who told me that if you ever just need a place to park over night for a few nights, she'd allow you to park there next to her condominium in Chugiak. She has a big parking spot because she is in a wheelchair and she uses the handicapped transit and that spot is only used when she's being picked up or being dropped off, and that never wouldhappen early in the morning. Neitherof us like to go out in the cold early in the day at our age now. We'reboth 62. She'd never ask for money from you to plug in to the electric for the night if you'd like to use it. She's one of the coolest chick I've ever met before! She's been my bestfriend for over 25 years now. I drive down and visit her once a month from my place here in Trapper Creek. We just sit around and get stoned and watch movies these days. We don't do as much getting out these days. It's much more fun doing indoor fun when it's cold outdoors. You can email me and I can get her phone number to ya, if this is something that you are interested in. fefi121061@gmail.com. I watch and always leave a thumbs up. I just had to say hey. Sending my love to you all the way from Trapper Creek Alaska!!!✌🏻❤😊
How did we get to the point where the government tells the people, that we can't stay on our own land? That land belongs to the people not the government.
Take pain meds an hour before packing removal. Have ice packs to either side of nose/cheek for am hour before removal. 15 minutes on/off. Good luck. Hope no infection and you heal 1st time.
I have been watching you for a while and thought I was subscribed. Just noticed today that I wasn't! But now I am. Thanks for the great videos and I do love your truck/camper! I can't believe people make such a big deal about you camping certain spots. And thanks for the recipes. I'm going to try them both. Looked so yummy! Have an awesome day! And good luck with your surgery along with a speedy recovery ❤
Like many things, other people ruin it for you. Coming from Chicago, LA, Bay Area, you see streets lined with beat to sh!t campers, vans & RV's, stealing power from the street lights, leaving their filthy crap all over the place, with no regard to anything and they don't leave. Too bad really.
yup that's exactly what ruins it, it makes me so mad when I pass folks living like that because it ruins it for everyone and they don't have to live that way
La and the greater Bay area? Absoutlely... Chicago? Heck no, lived hear 26 years and never seen campers anywhere near the city or going to tourist spots like you do out west. We also have no where to park Rv's anywhere near the city and all of our payed parking goes to Dubai...
You are really good at editing those videos. I always feel like I'm right there with you in the truck, seeing just what you are seeing. Very good talent. A question--Ihow do you vent your oven/stove?
Man if you ever need a place to park when your down south in South Carolina , u can park on my land anytime , I even have a small property on a small resivoir just below my main house , i camp there several times a yr an it’s not far from home , maybe 1000 ft but it’s nice and you don’t really think of home being so close being on the water front of the lake , sun rises an sun sets are beautiful as is snow around the shorelines when we get some , but yep ! U can camp on any of my places foe free Timmy ❤ the channel an truck house safely my friend
Seems the van life crackdown is pretty universal. So many places across Europe ive been living for the last 10 years are hugely cracking down with signs going up and fines being issued. It's getting so bad i'm actually considering buying a house!
There are far worse things going on in this world other than giving Tim the boot over his well-maintained clean camper truck. I guess this is the new age where good is bad and bad is good. Hope they fix you up Timmy, I'll say a prayer for ya!
The French had a marvelous mechanical contraption for solving these kinds of problems . It's also green energy powered ( gravity ) and BOY , can this baby sequester some carbon !
Wishing you the best with your nasal/sinus procedure Tim--hope this restores free breathing and the awesomeness that is enjoying your olfactory sense to the fullest in so much of life! Thank you for your videos. Profoundly happy looking forward to those that will come. Be well, stay healthy. CH
If I’m honest, do I want someone camped out in front of my house? It would make me nervous. I wouldn’t know if they were tracking when I come and go so they could break in. I feel for folks who are truly homeless, but there are a lot of people who can afford to stay in an rv park or a hotel or who also have a permanent address but they are doing “van life” for fun, adventure and UA-cam. Their frustration with a lack of free overnight parking is not high on my list of priorities.
Living in fear isn't living. It's merely existing. That mindset is why we're losing what's left of freedom. Keep it up. Soon we'll have nothing but RV parks where we'll have to pay corporate America to pretend to camp. Real nice.
Hey Timmy, this is Tammy. I love your videos. The editing, the music, the shots ~ they all come together for an amazing, relaxing video. 👍Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Keep us updated. All the best ~ ❤
This kind of breaks my heart man, like im the blue collar type of guy and I would like living like this. It's the bums man; not homies like us. We're tidy asf; as long as parking is paid for, then who cares >:l
Just curious why you didn't do the 350 with no extended cab and with the long bed. Could have more of a cabin thst way. Not criticizing just curious. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks.
So awesome I’ve actually seen your truck in Anchorage before I ever knew about your UA-cam channel lol crazy! Had I known I would’ve said hey I know you haha maybe I’ll catch ya next time! ❤ love the videos you rock Tim❤
Next time you have to go back to Anchorage, use some of that UA-cam money and get yourself a hotel room for the night. You can still walk out to the truck-house and make the cracker-bacon dinner.
@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Yes, the world doesn't own me, you or anyone anything. The cities are filled with homeless people the camp in public areas and pee and poop all over. Rent a hotel room.
When I'm truck camping, I find a bar with a good size parking lot.

Another cool video, thanks for taking us along on your adventure Tim. Until next time
Thanks for the info on the Mukluks. I got a glimpse of yours in a previous video and it took me about 4 days of searching the web to figure out what they were. Mine should be here tomorrow!
Hope the next surgery is a total success!
Thanks Timmy 🙏🏼
49th state brewery in Healy has the best food I miss it, haven't been since 2010
The anti-camper thing is a part of the war on the homeless. When I worked for the census I reported accurate numbers of the people living in campers, vans, tents etc, and the government supervisors kept sending them back, claiming they were “too high.” Eventually they fired me.
Lol. They don't want to know the truth. Our country is being systematically destroyed by an ever more broken system that is rotting from the inside out thanks to bribes (lobbying) and spineless career politicians.
Your truth didn't align with their agenda. It's sad that you got canned for doing your job. Hope you found something better.
Unfortunately they do go hand in hand. Private property will almost always kick you out now a days due to burglaries,
Burglaries are down across most of the US though
@@battlebornops
the homeless population is going to wage war soon.....because the numbers are climbing at insane levels!! I myself who used to be able to afford my own apartment alone can no longer afford to live alone.....i am renting a room in Washington state for almost 200 more than my own place 5 years ago....its sick!
Oh dude, I've seen your truck set up at home Depot once in Anchorage. So sick to see it in person, and weird coincidence that I just ran into your channel lol
I found your channel about a month ago, and it is awesome!! I am a Georgia girl and have never been to Alaska, but watching your channel makes me feel like i have. Beautiful scenery and editing. Keep up the wonderful work and best of luck with your surgery❤❤
Go Dawgs!!!
Georgia here also. 64 years. Go Dawgs
Thanks for the video. Sinus surgery, I feel ya man. Had my sinuses reamed out 5+ times before it took. Haven't had any trouble going on 20 years now. Good luck to ya, hope it works this time.
Sending heartfelt prayers for a speedy recovery from your surgery 🙏 ❤️ Sadly, some people will always ruin it for others. Living in the forest, I see this with dispersed camping areas closing because of irresponsible people.
Timmy,
I lived in a van in Anchorage for 2 years before deciding on Willow.
I didnt have any issues with where i parked ever.
But things have changed now,too bad too.
Ill have to try your recipe,seems easy.
Thanks, BigT
Anchorage is difficult now.....even along the Seward Hiway between Anc and Girdwood..I got the knock last fall...cop was cool though and made suggestions on how to get around it..
that sucks, yup it's completely changed the last 5 or 6 years
You never know with the police these days. They can be normal humans, or have you on the ground with their knee on your neck in less than 30 seconds screaming at you to stop resisting.
Sending you my most positive vibes for your upcoming surgery.😊
Another great episode. After getting some good advice from the subscribers in this channel and from a Powerstroke Technician, I am planning on testing and replacing my glow plug relay, and any crappy wiring I find under my valve covers when I replace my 3 year old batteries.
Right on...my 1999 F350...the glow plug relay....and glow plugs...were replaced....
On the colder mornings...I run the wait to start twice, perhaps it helps...
And she fires right up...
While not being the most powerful- that engine...is remarkable. And no DEF juice. Ya oil is a little out of hand but I drain the and replace 17 quarts at about 3500 miles...
I am glad Timmy has the 7.3...It is
almost bulletproof and hardly breaks a sweat...
Good luck with your surgery Timmy.
came across your channel not too long ago....binge watched your episodes on your attempt to get to the arctic ocean. definitely a fan! good luck with your surgery!
I love watching your vids. When I am not working I binge watch your videos LoL. You rock brotha 🤙 stay safe ✌️
Good luck on your surgery Timmy! ❤😊
thank u!
@@TruckHouseLife , I have a deviated septum myself, had an accident as a child - school bus driver fault which caused me all sorts of problems but I never had surgery. I kept having nosebleeds and one side has been ~90% "blocked" but I've endured it throughout life, use "breathing strips" when needed etc. Anyway, maybe you need to come down to the States if things don't work out which hopefully it will this time. It's been some years back I had a class with a guy who had surgery here and he could move papers from across the room, lol. He told me he had a deviated septum & had surgery & his was a success. Anyway, a bit of a bum for someone to bother a man minding his own business in his camper, not bothering anyone.🙄I'm not sure if I could handle the Jalapeno's but an interesting treat as was the dessert although I was thinking more along the lines of banana pudding! ^_^ Stay safe, looking forward to the next update!
Timmy, Wishing You the best with Your Surgery.Stay safe out there my friend.🙏🏻👍
If you ever need to park for a few days in Mission Valley Montana, hit me up 😊
Try bacon wrapped water chestnuts with a sweet bbq sauce for a glaze before 30mins in the oven! Divine.
You are very respectful man I've never heard you have any outburst towards anybody in your videos since I've been a subscriber that blows me away that anybody would kick you out of anywhere. Whoever did it there's a special place for that person and that's all I'm going to say. Sending you lots of love and sorry that happened to you. 💯❤️🦋🖕🙌🙏.
The power of editing and knowing when not to turn the camera on or knowing when to turn it off…smile …..great vid as always Tim
No one is going to hell for running someone off for urban camping. What a ridiculous view of life....and hell.
@@tupapa9298a good way of life...ask yourself what would Jesus do? Would He have ran anyone off from resting? You can tell the tree from it's fruit it bares.
Your banana desert is called Banana's Foster in New Orleans!
Oh wow, I see freedom snatching has made its way to the last frontier as well. Then again, like you said it is Anchorage and "city life" which tends to regulate when you are allowed to take a crap.
I haven't been to Alaska since 2017. But we stayed a few times at Cabela's. Good luck with surgery.
Not a bad thing at all. Some cities are a very risky proposition.
I was so glad to have access to the campground on Elmendorf AFB to overnight there. Anchorage is a big city and as sketchy/dangerous as many of the big cities in the lower 48. The auto parts store we stopped at to get a couple hose clamps had bullet holes in the front door glass. The guys who changed our oil at the oil change place (dealer couldn't get us in) were nice guys, but they were obviously members of one of the Samoan street gangs there.
Samoans in AK...thats about as odd as it gets.
@@janejones5362 apparently they shoot it out with the Tongan gangs every once in a while
Awesome content and life🤙🤟🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸
I have lived in Arizona for ten years now. I live off grid here so I understand extremes in nature. It's super tough and your experience looks so refreshing.
Will say some prayers for a good outcome for your upcoming procedure Tim. Hope they get it right this time. 🙏
if u used plantains all youd need is the butter . it legite tastes like pancakes when cooked .
Nice seeing ya kiddo! It's been a while since I've been here. I love the recipe for the Ritz! I watch a UA-cam Channel that does something simular to the surgery that uses a baloon to open up that cartilage in the nose. The patient is awake while Dr does it. Looks pretty painfull. I'm a woos and I'd want to to be under. I have a lady friend who told me that if you ever just need a place to park over night for a few nights, she'd allow you to park there next to her condominium in Chugiak. She has a big parking spot because she is in a wheelchair and she uses the handicapped transit and that spot is only used when she's being picked up or being dropped off, and that never wouldhappen early in the morning. Neitherof us like to go out in the cold early in the day at our age now. We'reboth 62. She'd never ask for money from you to plug in to the electric for the night if you'd like to use it. She's one of the coolest chick I've ever met before! She's been my bestfriend for over 25 years now. I drive down and visit her once a month from my place here in Trapper Creek. We just sit around and get stoned and watch movies these days. We don't do as much getting out these days. It's much more fun doing indoor fun when it's cold outdoors. You can email me and I can get her phone number to ya, if this is something that you are interested in. fefi121061@gmail.com. I watch and always leave a thumbs up. I just had to say hey. Sending my love to you all the way from Trapper Creek Alaska!!!✌🏻❤😊
You're not alone.....
How did we get to the point where the government tells the people, that we can't stay on our own land? That land belongs to the people not the government.
You haven’t heard of laws? You think you own the land go camp in a national park!!
Or just don’t pay the taxes on the property you think you own!
That's not how it works, you'd know that if you went to high school.
Most of the time it is private companies kicking people out.
Please do not use this space for radical politics. We're here to have fun
I had the same surgery twice in 3 months, removing the packing at home was a painful experience
My mom had that years ago..Same for her.
Take pain meds an hour before packing removal. Have ice packs to either side of nose/cheek for am hour before removal. 15 minutes on/off.
Good luck. Hope no infection and you heal 1st time.
😅
Good luck at the hospital 😮you'll be just fine mate 👍 🤠🙏🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🍁
Thank u Ian:)
Very up beat, honest and intereting. Go with God and Jesus in your travels.
Nice, it’s on at 17:00 uk time!
Thanks 👍😎👍
I have been watching you for a while and thought I was subscribed. Just noticed today that I wasn't! But now I am. Thanks for the great videos and I do love your truck/camper! I can't believe people make such a big deal about you camping certain spots. And thanks for the recipes. I'm going to try them both. Looked so yummy! Have an awesome day! And good luck with your surgery along with a speedy recovery ❤
Can't wait for this video
Toate cele bune.From România ❤❤❤❤
Like many things, other people ruin it for you. Coming from Chicago, LA, Bay Area, you see streets lined with beat to sh!t campers, vans & RV's, stealing power from the street lights, leaving their filthy crap all over the place, with no regard to anything and they don't leave. Too bad really.
yup that's exactly what ruins it, it makes me so mad when I pass folks living like that because it ruins it for everyone and they don't have to live that way
YOu are not alone in those sentiments...BE respectful and Take in Carry out etc rules apply
Most the people here aren’t “van life” people, they are “homeless” and usually drug and or alcohol riddled.
La and the greater Bay area? Absoutlely... Chicago? Heck no, lived hear 26 years and never seen campers anywhere near the city or going to tourist spots like you do out west. We also have no where to park Rv's anywhere near the city and all of our payed parking goes to Dubai...
@@Whistler326normally the reason they live in campers. No self respect or respect for others.
You are really good at editing those videos. I always feel like I'm right there with you in the truck, seeing just what you are seeing. Very good talent. A question--Ihow do you vent your oven/stove?
Man if you ever need a place to park when your down south in South Carolina , u can park on my land anytime , I even have a small property on a small resivoir just below my main house , i camp there several times a yr an it’s not far from home , maybe 1000 ft but it’s nice and you don’t really think of home being so close being on the water front of the lake , sun rises an sun sets are beautiful as is snow around the shorelines when we get some , but yep ! U can camp on any of my places foe free Timmy ❤ the channel an truck house safely my friend
thanks:)
I'm gon̈na try those recipes...thanks💜
Seems the van life crackdown is pretty universal. So many places across Europe ive been living for the last 10 years are hugely cracking down with signs going up and fines being issued. It's getting so bad i'm actually considering buying a house!
Thank you for your time n video s. .😊
Those bacon thingies are the ultimate munchies snack
I just had a surgery to fix my nose/sinuses as well, it's totally worth it! Good luck bro🚛🏠
There are far worse things going on in this world other than giving Tim the boot over his well-maintained clean camper truck. I guess this is the new age where good is bad and bad is good. Hope they fix you up Timmy, I'll say a prayer for ya!
Another successful video premiere. I’d say you’re a winner by a nose in this one. Safe travels.❄️🤙
haha
Pay taxes to upkeep the public areas, try to use public areas and local government says no.
We need to throw some tea in a harbor
The French had a marvelous mechanical contraption for solving these kinds of problems .
It's also green energy powered ( gravity ) and BOY , can this baby sequester some carbon !
The city motto of Anchorage must be something like "When you get kicked to the curb, we're here to kick you from the curb".
Wishing you the best with your nasal/sinus procedure Tim--hope this restores free breathing and the awesomeness that is enjoying your olfactory sense to the fullest in so much of life! Thank you for your videos. Profoundly happy looking forward to those that will come. Be well, stay healthy. CH
Prayers for a successful surgery! May God watch over and guide your surgical team. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If I’m honest, do I want someone camped out in front of my house? It would make me nervous. I wouldn’t know if they were tracking when I come and go so they could break in. I feel for folks who are truly homeless, but there are a lot of people who can afford to stay in an rv park or a hotel or who also have a permanent address but they are doing “van life” for fun, adventure and UA-cam. Their frustration with a lack of free overnight parking is not high on my list of priorities.
Living in fear isn't living. It's merely existing. That mindset is why we're losing what's left of freedom. Keep it up. Soon we'll have nothing but RV parks where we'll have to pay corporate America to pretend to camp. Real nice.
Hey Timmy, this is Tammy. I love your videos. The editing, the music, the shots ~ they all come together for an amazing, relaxing video. 👍Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Keep us updated. All the best ~ ❤
This kind of breaks my heart man, like im the blue collar type of guy and I would like living like this. It's the bums man; not homies like us. We're tidy asf; as long as parking is paid for, then who cares >:l
Well if you are ever through the little town of Baker City Oregon, you can camp out at our place! It's right off the freeway! 😂
Back when Ford used to build good trucks? :)
13:45 Praying for you. God heal you. God bless.
Just curious why you didn't do the 350 with no extended cab and with the long bed. Could have more of a cabin thst way. Not criticizing just curious. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks.
It has an 8fter.
@@jacobmcvay123 Both have changing AWD?
I think because it can change into AWD? or either it was just a better option lol
the bed is 8 ft whether it's a double or extended cab
So the long bed on the single cab is bigger than the longbed with an extended cab? That’s a new one on me.
So awesome I’ve actually seen your truck in Anchorage before I ever knew about your UA-cam channel lol crazy! Had I known I would’ve said hey I know you haha maybe I’ll catch ya next time! ❤ love the videos you rock Tim❤
Next time you have to go back to Anchorage, use some of that UA-cam money and get yourself a hotel room for the night. You can still walk out to the truck-house and make the cracker-bacon dinner.
So just to be clear; Conform to and pay into corporate America, and everything will be fine? This is how the "land of the free" live? Got it.
@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism
Yes, the world doesn't own me, you or anyone anything.
The cities are filled with homeless people the camp in public areas and pee and poop all over.
Rent a hotel room.
Best channel on UA-cam. Timmy is so laid back and just seems super honest. Watching down in SE Washington.
