Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 : amzn.to/3rMe72l
In this video I go solo van camping in woods with heavy rain and test out the new arctic air pure chill 2.0 While Car camping it rained pretty heavy at times, but was still able to get a fire started. I felt the Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 was worth the small price and kept me cool when directly blowing on me. I also show and review my new off grid power setup which is the Bluetti Ac200P with the B300 expandable battery. I feel the Bluetti Ac200p with B300 was a great addition to my campervan / minivan camper. Car camping in the rain is my favorite, so hope you guys enjoy this video.

For those that don't know, that's not an air conditioner, it's a swamp cooler and there's a big difference. Something that small isn't going to do much at all but I understand being so hot that even a temperature drop of 2° is welcome, lol. I just wanted to mention that because it's a swamp cooler as opposed to an actual air conditioner with freon, make sure you have a window open to let some of that moisture out or you're going to be sorry- climbing into a damp sleeping bag is never fun.
Low heat is the key also a non stick pan along with olive oil spray works great!!
I have an Artic Air as well. I soak the filter and then freeze it. Seems to give pretty cold air that way
I’ve heard the filter only stays cold for a couple minutes before it melts, but would be fun to try.
@@TolbersCamping its not a long lasting fix but for that immediate hit of cold air, works for a bit. The ice cubes in the water definitely helps the temperature be cooler. Its a fun little machine. I use it on my desk when im working
@@TolbersCamping Bought two and that is exactly what happened!
Can I ask you something? Are the Artic Air batteries or electric
I soak freeze too... but I don't notice a difference ...just a fan...quickly melts cold... and not that great of a fan
Nice Video and nice gadgets too.
Just a word of caution though...
NEVER advertise on videoe your vehicle license plate !!! Way too many weirdos out in la la land can actually look the real YOU up...
Besides the scammers etc...
Nice setup and thoughtful description of everything in a pleasant voice ..
THANKS for being out here Matt 🎉 teaching and entertaining us all 😊
I have the first gen Arctic Air....and it works great, for where I live. The bad reviews tend to be from people who don't understand how evaporative coolers work...they don't do much in humid climates, the drier the climate is the better they work
When starting a fire, take your cooking spray and soak a single paper towel. It’ll burn for 8-10 minutes or so. That power station setup is pretty awesome.
Great tip, thanks!
Matt, I’m so glad your back. I’ve missed watching your videos. They’re always a lot of fun to go along with you. 🙋🏻♀️🙏💖
Love this channel, the wife daughter an I wait for these with excitement! Much love, brother, stay safe. Bless our creator for the wonderful world we live in!!!! Bless you and your family. Stay creating and keep on keeping on Tolber!
Thanks bro and super glad you and the fam enjoy them 💙 God bless you guys
@TolbersCamping God bless you, Matt. My apologies for the late reply. I just got the notification!
Teflon pan would've worked better but stainless steel also works. The trick is to not put anything in the pan until it's heated. You don't want the own to suddenly cool down by adding cold eggs or any other food to it. Use cooking oil when the pan is hot and wait for the oil to be at a good temperature. Not too hot, medium heat. Then it'll be just like cooking on Teflon... also, don't use the pan when it has food already stuck to it. You must use a clean pan.
I love the sound of the rain and nature. Missed your videos and so glade you're back.
😁
The power station is indeed epic!! Love this video.
I love the sound of rain in the woods and loons singing in the background. Love MN camping! 🤟😎❤️🔥🏕️
Also, you look great! Are you trying to loose weight, or did it just happen? Curious only because I’m re-focused on getting healthier myself. Cheers! 💪😎🏋️
Those are cool fire pits. I got grill for it. Its nice you can kick to settle embers through screen. I never used that gaurd😊
very glad I found ur channel, good vibes all around!
I’ve been watching these van life end, living on the road videos for quite some time and I’ve often thought maybe this is for me but mosquitoes eat me alive just seeing this. Let me know I could never handle it. And I enjoy watching the videos and I love all the product reviews especially the batteries electronic thank you.
Hot sauce ... always save the eggs. Thanks!
Yay! A camping video from Matt 🦋🌲🌿you are the king 👑
It’s nice to see van camp setup i just started van camping in may and I have a lot to learn about it my van is a 1996 dodge grand caravan
Non stick pan dude!!! That pan you have is born to stick!
I like that showed the bug spray and bug zappers, many ignore the bugs that many of us face in their videos. They can be a nightmare in the spring, summer, fall. The induction cooker was something I hadn't seen before and very cool introduction, hey as long as it cooks the egg, who cares if it is turned over perfect. I just need the egg cooked, heck there is no difference in a scrambled egg with ham and and omelet except presentation. Nice you got that fire roaring after all that rain. Also love you have the Amazon link to every single dang item you used. That makes it so easier for when you see something that could be helpful to go purchase it. Safe travels.
Been awhile! Missed your solo camping with reviews on products
Life’s been crazy bro, but starting to settle. Videos should get fun and more frequent over the coming months.
Cook your omelet on low heat. Cooking good food requires a little patience! Always enjoy your videos ❤❤❤😊
Agreed 😁
Yay! Going camping with Matt. I have a Bluetti and fridge/freezer setup as well. ❤Love it. Nice fire skills, Matt.😊 You tried something new with the Omelet. Awesome. Miss your burgers. 🤩
I’m decent at burgers, omelette definitely needs some work 😂
Love your video's!! Thanks for sharing with us. ❤❤
Love these van camping videos keep making them you’re probably my favorite van camping channel because of the quality of your videos but also because you recognize that nature was designed by a great creator
Amen, and thanks! ✝️
😊😊😊😊
Just found your channel on YT recommendation and suscribed. I exclusively use stainless steel cookware and always season the pans. I know a lot of people attach seasoning pans to cast iron only, but the science is basically the same and it works for stainless steel and helps reduce sticking to near nothing. Looking forward to more videos!
*New subscriber here! I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially the Bible scriptures. Keep encouraging others along the way. God bless.*
Glad to have you Nicole, God bless!
Love the video bro! And yes you definitely been hitting the gym you can see it.. love from Atlanta ga ❤️
The trick is a non sticking pan hun..then ur amlet will be perfect. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks, God bless!
Great video beautiful campground love all gadget 😂until your next video stay safe stay healthy stay strong ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Non stick pan unsalted butter heat on low take it slow 👍🏼
Hey, where's the moon shade? Heat is too high and it's the wrong pan for an Omelette. You need a non-stick Teflon coated pan. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for reviewing the arctic air!
FINALLY A NEW VID THANKS MATT GREAT CONTENT!
Yeah buddy!!! Always look forward to a new video ❤
In my setup I would try to make a adjustable table to level up. Threaded feet perhaps. Good point though.
Big houses and fancy cars but lots of people are not really happy. Your trully living the dream
Freedom is the biggest thing for me
@@TolbersCamping amen good stuff my guy.
The little bernzomatic torch heads are awesome put it on the green coleman cans and instant fire 🫡
Yeah I need one
I noticed that you lost weight instantly. I hope you are doing well. If you were sick and lost weight cause of that I really hope your feeling well again.
Been on a journey to get in better shape this year, still got aways to go but much better than I was 😀
@@TolbersCamping You still have a ways to go? You look very healthy. I think you look fantastic. The change I saw was remarkable.
Less heat when cooking. Use a non stick pan on the go. Again, less heat.
You're noticeably more fit. Great video, as usual.
Thanks, I knew I needed change.
Hey Matt
Always Enjoy Your Camping Videos
Great Channel !!
Thanks 😁
When I found your channel I was thinking this guy is handsome, I’m catching up on all your videos. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Hey, how are you? It has been awhile. Glad I get to see another of your videos. Always look forward to your videos. ❤
Hey, I’m doing well. Been a very busy year so far but things are calming down 😀
I just stumbled across your channel and it’s nice to finally see a handsome, athletic van lifer lol. Thanks for the eye candy 👀🤣😜🤣
Only advice I'd say is making cook it on lower heat maybe not stick as much idk that helps when I make eggs
I have a 2014 version of your van. It’s my mobile tent. I love sleeping in it
I got that tent that can hook up to the tailgate. I don’t use it much but it good to have. I would love to have that 2000 amp unit 😎
23:28 For your frying Pan to be non stick.Turn up the heat Put some oil on your Pan move it around. Until the oil is all over the frying Pan. Your fine pants should be nonstick Add the eggs They shouldn't stick anymore, Use vegetable oil or cornola. oil they don't have that much smoke, when cut and high temperatures.
A properly seasoned cast iron skillet will elevate your perceived culinary skills, not to the level of a paddle-boarding former White House chef from Martha's Vineyard, but it makes a huge difference. Lodge brand at Walmart, not Target 😬, will complete the transformation 🍳
Thanks for the info 😁
Get a Hexclad nonstick pan. They’re great. David Ramsey only cooks on hexclad. They’re not cheap but worth it.
Does that work on an induction stove?
Usually don't comment much but wanted to say I love the videos. Love car camping and like following along.
Thanks for the comment bro, and glad you enjoy them. Many more on the way
I use non stick spray and omelette will literally slide off when you tilt towards plate. Just started seeing your videos and I’m hooked. I live on center of Minnesota my whole life. I’m an e-biker too and I bring my rc boat for a rip when I come across water. Keep up the good work brotha 32:39
Cool video! Those bluettis are unreal!
Thanks bro and I know right!
Except their customer service just like ecoflow. Luckily I own both their products and haven’t had issues. But even just inquiring about things is a pain in the neck.
Instead of caving into their expensive ass add on battery pack for this same unit. I just got an extra 2, 12v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery in series a charge from there into the solar input an got a lot more battery backup. An didn’t give them fools my money.
If from what I seen for customer service. An what I seen others have been through with with them companies. Couldn’t see giving them more money.
So to much an to many posted emails from others with them on new multi hundreds or thousand dollar products left out to dry with an expensive block of nothing. An wasn’t chancing that.
I got that one a the ecoflow ac an a few other things. But it’s to easy to build the same thing out yourself even better in a decent enough case/box. That does all the same.
But if one part goes out. Change the one part. Their all in one things. If one thing fails. A they leave ya out to dry. It’s pretty much useless junk at that point.
They have made a killing on sales and screwed over many.
We have one for our farm stand it works nice and goes about 4 hrs
OFF GRID CAMPING,MEANS JUST WHAT IT SAYS😊
❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼
awesome upload. ✌🏼
Your camera is amazing and i love the power stations !!
Thanks 😁
i was looking for this channel glad i remembered the vague details
❤️
Excellent, another clip from the forest. Always an inspiration to me. God bless, brother.
"It's still food..." - my culinary approach 100% :-)
😂 thanks bro! God bless
So much power. I've been on 1500wh of jackeries for the past couple years.
Couldn't imagine having over 5000, would barely have to charge.
Yeah 5000wh is a ton lol. I just got the Jackery 3000 I’ll be reviewing soon. It’s my first Jackery so kind of excited
Love camping videos and ideas 💡
I saw that Mav vid and was wondering why he thought it would do anything with look warm water in it. Gotta follow the directions.
True, he still makes very entertaining videos 😂
Olive oil would have done nicely and still fine to use with steel pan on medium to low heat but non stick pan makes lifer easier
The bad reviews are bc the arctic air leaks. It’s probably improved by now hopefully. I took mine back. That was a year ago. Good vid Matt.
lets drink energy drinks and sit by ourselves in the car while its pouring rain? FUN!
Bro I absolutely love everything about this and the freedom I have. If you don’t like this stuff don’t watch it or do it yourself, it’s simple. Comments like this show how unhappy you are in your own life and you’re trying to channel it onto others. Praying for you buddy, God bless
@@TolbersCamping you reacting shows you're a simp looking for attention. You are a lonely boring loser my man, and I'm just pointing it out.
I'm glamping. I brought ice machine. Might try that mister on both sides of my bed in van. Using ice machine. All a experiment
It’s fun to try out different options until you see what works best
Dude you’re yolked now 😂 keep up the good work. Also cook your omelette on low heat.
Thanks bro and yeah I’m leaning from my mistakes 😆
Fun video! Thanks for the Arctic Air info, I was wondering about. I think I’ll try one! Your omelet was cooked on too high of heat. It doesn’t take much heat to cook eggs. You’ll do better next time. Blessings! 😊❤️
I cook my eggs 🍳 in a skillet medium-low to medium heat.
What a beefy power system! I only have 3 smaller power stations, 2 Bluetti eb3a's & a little 300watt GoLabs. Portable solar panels. And 2 Dr Prepare batteries with power hubs to keep my fridge & freezer running when off grid. I can manage though, that's part of the fun!
I like that solar bug zapper. Maybe I missed the link for it?
I have 2 of the smaller ones that you have. They are great for gnats too.
Enjoyed the vid! 👍
Cold water looks awesome
Great video brother.
I noticed you are in shape before telling.
Looking great 💪🏼
God bless from Spain.
Thanks bro I’m trying
First, I just discovered your channel and subscribed. You are a great host. The “swamp cooler” you’re using is borderline useless east of the Rockies, the climate is too humid - but you know this and were honest in your assessment. There is a company that makes them for campers/trailers, and even large installed units do badly in humid climates. In the desert or out west they can drop the temp 20 degrees f and use a fraction of the power of an AC unit, but again that’s in 10-20% humidity. The portable ac unit you reviewed is probably better, with a 200W solar panel (or two) you could run it all day (or an electric site would be great).
Hi Matt!! 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
With stainless steel, the old adage is "hot pan, cold oil and food wont stick (or shouldnt 😊). If you splash a little water in the pan to test if its ready, the water should ball up like mercury and dance on the surface. Then its ready. And like the other commenter said...maybe a wee bit less heat. 😊
I hv never eaten a smore but I hv eaten a pinwheel cookie. Its the exact same ingredients. 🤔😄
I am watching this on my break at Target 🎯 lol
Nice 😂 I used to work there back in the day
Heat doesn’t matter. Try using actual butter or a lil bit of oil. And try an egg skillet it’ll make it easier and won’t stick at all
For a good omelet, you wanna cook on low heat. Also, mix the eggs a little bit or give them a flip before adding the cheese and ham. If you can cover the pan while on low heat, even better to melt the cheese. Also, adding a bit of milk or water to the eggs while you whisk them up can help make them fluffier.
A little tip for helping start wet fires.....I keep a couple bottles of 91 percent rubbing alcohol in my rig for helping start campfires...use it on bug bites and cuts and abrasions and you can put some cloth or cotton in a tin can and soak it with the alcohol and use it to cook on in an emergency! I live full time camping am retired...🤔🫡🇺🇲
Bro, put the artic air into a small plastic tray to catch all the water. Also, use a non stick induction pan. It will make your life so much easier.
Well done on the health journey, brother! What a flex to have baggy pants from weight loss!
Thanks bro, definitely still on it but enjoying the progress
You’re looking Good Matt. Don’t lose anymore weight. 🤗🤗
I have fallen in love with camping and I realize tgat I will need to invest in these 'toys'😅It is extremely impressive, and I hope to get there one day but listening to you provide THE MOST comprehensive description is blowing my mind right now. I need a cigarette right now....and for those reasons, I've hit the subscribe button😂
I've come across your video before. Love them👍🏽
😂 thanks! Yeah technology is getting pretty sweet and making camping/living from a vehicle pretty nice.
If you put a tiny bit of butter and oil together in pan it will not stick and burn and have your heat low 👍
Ok thanks
Nothing better than Kwik Trip
Congratulations on your recent weightloss. There's nothing better than living in a strong and healthy body.
Thanks!
I have an artic air cooler it keeps my. Bedroom cool good product
I love your camping adventures.
😁
👍❤️❤️👍It's a good idea to turn the flame down to low setting when your learning how to cook. Remember eggs cooK fast so turning the flame down to low will give the inside time to cook👍👍👍
Thanks!
Ahhh, yes a good cup of morning coffee. Always taste better when camping.
So true 😁
18:49 what is that reflection in the woods. Looks like some kind of light reflecting off the fire but I've never seen that before
That’s just lens flare from the camera.
Brother that power station is bad a-z. Thanks for taking us along.
Super impressed with it 😁
I have that same cooler freezer it's awesome.
Yeah it’s worked perfect
Cool content! Celsius Orange my OG favorite.
😁❤️
A cover for the pan and lower temp,but the pan seems to be the issue, try a ceramic no stick pan, lower temp medium to medium low and cover that helps to steam cook the top so you don’t have to cook it so long. Good luck!
Just love your videos, watching from India 🙏
A comment for the UA-cam algorithm and a thumbs up, well done. I might learn something. Glad that wasn't a stinky beer, other day watching a video of stinky dead fish on a beach you could smell em' thru the screen.
I like the easy paper signups, hate doing everything online
Nice ambiance.
Non stick pan is better for an omelette. Also more oil or butter. I like to sauté onions ham bell peppers mushrooms set aside then do the eggs and add the ingredients back and top with cheese. 23:17
Your pan was too hot for eggs. Love the power set up.
Eggs in a stainless pan are tough. A nonstick is easier. For stainless, the pan has to preheat to just the right temperature. There’s actually some you tube videos on it. I’ve played around but it’s a PITA. I gave up and went back to nonstick lol
Your heat is too high. It’s better to take your time, low heat and slow cook.
and get a non stick pan or a good cast iron, its magical how badly eggs can stick to stainless steel
@@Asksksksk true....I think everything sticks to the stainless. I wouldn’t have one.
Right
I think I should have used 2 eggs instead of 3 on that smaller pan also. They were to thick which made it not cook as quick and hard to fold over.
I really enjoy watching your videos. The adventures with your friend Joel are hilarious. Greetings and best wishes from Germany.
