As a city boy myself, I'm glad those dudes were nice and all but for good reason sometimes you gotta keep your guard up. Who knows what some dudes lighting fireworks at some dead end street by the water in NYC are gonna do next. And the fact that you had your truck open and they could see all the stuff you had... just be careful out there Mav 💚
@@Jacobk2403 Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder on just how effective those laws are. NYC is a joke. It's sad, and, given the current state of "let em' run amok," I don't plan on returning.
Man I get nervous for Maverick sometimes he's such a light-hearted and friendly guy a lot of people don't understand how dangerous people can be in a city like that especially when you're doing something like sleeping in your car. Thank God those guys didn't have bad intentions because they saw his whole setup and there's plenty of expensive things in that truck not to mention whatever cash he had on him and the film equipment. Also that ambulance build that was parked next to his truck was fucking awesome I want one of them so bad.
Man I was thinking the same. And the fireworks thing almost seemed like an excuse to look at peoples camping setups/test response times. My guess is that they probably deemed him a bad target and moved on to casing something else. But I assume the worst in people lol.. also my friends have an Ambulance setup, you should definitely go for it!
@@mattss7886 many people have gone to jail for "self defence" in nyc. Just look at the recent bodega man stabbing. Imagine someone with no video evidence or social backing.
As a native New Yorker born and raised but no longer living there, I’m stoked that you chose to visit NYC in your famous camper truck and felt adventurous enough to park and cook at a dead end street in Brooklyn in the middle of one of the worse summer heat waves to hit the area in a while. And while fireworks were going off around you by a group of guys who thank God turned out to be friendly to you and not the sketchy/scary kind. You just never know who you encounter in NYC. But you have the magic touch Mav. Like you said, you try to get along with everyone in your travels and you handled the incident beautifully with classy calm even though I saw the concern in your face. Me- I would’ve been really worried and half-panicked since I’m a woman. Thanks for coming over to visit Gotham City and your newly designed bags are beautiful & awesome. Keep on truckin’ Mav and stay safe. Love your videos and I’m a subscriber.
He dint expect them to be there and you could tell he was nervous . The constant looking around and nervously laughing if I ever start camping ima always carry my .45 with an extended clip and flashlight
@@davidboi239 I'm not a killer but I've seen to much I'll rather be the one to make it out alive than to be in the hospital bed or worse dead I've had people point guns at me for just being parked in front of their house in the street "city property" anyways . Since that day on I always carry my 45 with an extended clip and a switch I want to start camping but scared of mountain lions or bears I wouldn't want to kill them with my .45
I grew up In NYC and still commute from NJ 3 times a week to Brooklyn and Manhattan , you handled those firework guys better than I would have .. I could feel the tension through the screen. But if you say the wrong thing to one of them , things could have went bad pretty quickly
Brooklyn my home city. Things can go shty real fast. Or it can be so so. One thing I know, you have to keep an eye on your stuff Cause it can disappear real fast.
See man, that’s so crazy to me. I’m from Canada and all I saw was some dude who was interested about what he was cooking…Here, we need to worry more about cops and some Karen who would call 911 because he would sleep in his truck. Would never worry about getting mugged by some kid with fireworks. Crazy.
One of the only channels and places on the internet I can think of where I go through comments and everyone loves it and I don't see a single hate comment ever! And I love it doesn't deserve any and glad people are bringing that positive attitude!
That moment you felt uneasy at 13:37. I felt that. Trying to not jump to conclusions but a whole group of strangers pull up to a dead end late at night in New York just smells like trouble in some cases. Glad you’re fine. Stay safe out there Mav!
@@greatvalue1441 well New York does have one of the highest crime rates in the country . Gun control correlates with gun violence. The higher gun control the higher the crime. It's almost as if crime runs rampant when good people can't defend themselves.
@@Censortubes Well I mean he’s driving across the country with it lol. And how many other huge roads trips have we watched him go on? I’m aware a vehicle obviously needs to be maintained and I’m sure Mav takes good care of it
Glad nothing happened to you man, be careful out there… this was actually one of the most dangerous things you have done. There are lots of bad parts in NYC.
Glad to know you were safe and nothing happened to you that night. We care a lot for you Mav and if you feel any location might be a great place to check out but implicates your life being in danger, we prefer you stay true to your gut and get out to a safe place if necessary. YOUR LIFE MEANS MORE THAN A VIDEO. Stay safe and get well soon :)
Love the bags! Great designs. Glad you and your friend recovered from whatever crud was making you sick. You handled the situation there with the fireworks pretty diplomatically. I think the other cool guy in the other cool van being there worked in your favor. God is with you. Stay safe and God bless.
I'm such a health freak cheap bastard so I carry a backpack everywhere I go with rubbing alcohol, bottle waters, snacks, charging block, cables...........
Back in the 80s we'd occasionally drive through the City on our way to spend the weekend in New Hampshire. We'd see cars all along on the side of the road, just abandoned. By Sunday afternoon they would be torched frames on our way back home. We were advised that if our car ever broke down there to take everything out of it we wanted and wave a fond farewell to the rest, don't wait for a tow but get while the getting is good. When Mav walked away from his truck I thought it was the end of it, that when he came back it'd be a graffitied hulk on blocks.
I worked in EMS in NYC for 6 yrs you just dont know how crazy it can be there....You have to know neighborhoods in the city and know where to and not to go.
Big fan. Mav - you have met probably thousands of people on your trips. Bet you never expected to camp in NYC and get irritated with dudes randomly shooting fireworks in the street.:).
A couple of days late to see this and BOY the stuff going on!!! YOU ARE IN NY!!! That I didn't see coming. BUT you get the Keep your Cool AWARD!!! I was right there with a lot of your other viewers with the fireworks , people etc. You DID A GREAT JOB!!! Now please tell me you have moved on to someplace else Blue Ridge Mountains, Western MD Ocean City , MD are you coming as far south as North Carolina???? The bags you had made were great, hope you can get some more made....lot of good pockets. Keep on truckin and stay safe.

I worry about you, but I have never worried more than you cooking at the back of the truck, in the dark, in NY. Although I knew you were ok because you posted this video lol.
As someone who is a New Yorker I agree 100%. I'm coming into the work force now and I'm making sure to work for a big company that has many branches across the country, that way I can eventually move to some other branch and move out of NYC. It's crime invested and has only been getting worse, the subways are littered with mentally ill and homeless people while smelling like piss, and the city is plain out dirty. All that for a small closet for 200% higher cost than a decent size home anywhere else in the country.
You adapt so well to the places you go to and keeping cool in some tough situations I appreciate you being so humble and daring. Be safe out there. 😎🤘🏽
I was admiring your tolerance for those guys being so close and nosy.....so glad you admitted you weren't comfortable....I'm not sure I could have done it for so long...like you. Prob why I don't go into my city anymore (San Francisco). I guard my personal space pretty hard.
as a NY guy myself Mav i’m glad you gave the place a visit! Come back again whenever, always more to see and do in the city and we love to have the visitors. Maybe swing out to long island during the summer and get some good surfing in! the Skudins are based out of there
50 miles north Candlewood Lake in CT some of the best Bass fishing in the NE. then Housatonic River above Kent CT some of the best fly fishing on the Housatonic River. Lots of camping spots up there too.
I'm from NY, but now in FL. I miss the nightlife and just the fun my friends and I had when I was younger. It is not what it used to be, but seeing this video brought back so many memories. NY is a very special place.
I briefly lived in Bushwick, Brooklyn and rode that same train line daily. Personally I think NYC is one of the most overrated places on the planet but I also appreciate the little things, like personal space… and walking barefoot… and clean air… and driving. I moved back down south as soon as my lease expired. It’s not the place for laid back, wholesome people. Seeing Mav navigate that town gave me anxiety… glad you’re ok.
@@bubbangs2098 LOL I'm wholesome and laidback and I've lived here for 10 years. Love it. I will say it's not for everyone. It seems you couldn't handle it.
It’s just not for everyone. Definitely an amazing City with way too many restaurants and food to choose from. Has its ups and downs like every city, more downs these days I’ll admit cus the crime recently. But it’s an amazing cultured City
Grew up in NYC. Miss it every day. Always wondered where to go if you wanted to camp out. Definitely head further onto Long Island. Great spots to eat and probably camp out and a lot more peaceful.
Astoria is great on the Avenues. By 4 AM everything quiets down and you can get some safe sleep. Not all noise is dangerous. For a moment there, when you were trying to cook, I was wondering if you were going to get a chance to eat at all. 4 out of 10 considering the stress is dam good
I don't think I could have kept my cool with the firework kids. Testament to your attitude and demeanor, Mav, my anxiety was peaked just watching. Grats on 2mil.
Yah man I bet you would have told those kids that you don't know, in a city you don't live in, to go away. Real tough guy lmao. Stay behind that keyboard big cheese.
Mav, I probably would not have chosen NY city but you handled it like a pro. What I am concerned about is that you were sick again. I’m old enough to be your grandma so please excuse me for being overly concerned. Have you considered seeing a doctor to get some blood work done to make sure you are well? I realize you eat healthier than most so you are probably fine but do this senior a calming pause by telling me you’ve been checked and you’re good to go… take care, Mav… find some country roads and relax.. ☺️
0:35 Song: No sleep til Brooklyn Artist: Beastie boys Album: Licensed To Ill Thank you for the clip of the song and if there was a joke intended I understand
Yeah that was a horrible choice. Anywhere that heavily tagged up is obviously not regularly patrolled by cops. Not the kind of comforting area you wanna fall asleep in. Homeless people in tents and hookers were probably sleeping on the ground right on the other side of that wall lol
7:37- Don't be so sure that rock wasn't naturally in Central Park! It's hard to believe since it's almost entirely covered by buildings and the street grid, but Manhattan was once a very wild island with unusual rock formations and landscapes! BTW, according to the occupying British troops (who surveyed the island during the US American Revolution) Manhattan Island had new fewer than 30 (yes thirty) freshwater rivers and streams flowing to all its shores in the estuary (and the Hudson River was famous for having zillions of OYSTERS swimming in it)!
Love the channel ...please think about making a cookbook ....for camping and just in general...food looks bussin every time ! Much love from Nova Scotia ❤🤙🏽

Stay safe Mav🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽
7:37- Don't be so sure that rock wasn't naturally in Central Park! It's hard to believe since it's almost entirely covered by buildings and the street grid, but Manhattan was once a very wild island with unusual rock formations and landscapes! BTW, according to the occupying British troops (who surveyed the island during the US American Revolution) Manhattan Island had new fewer than 30 (yes thirty) freshwater rivers and streams flowing to all its shores in the estuary (and the Hudson River was famous for having zillions of OYSTERS swimming in it)!
This is true and a lot of glacier formation moving those rock and cutting up the landscape
I was thinking the same. What do people think was there before all the buildings lol
Just got a new F150, upgraded engine, and 4x4. This channel was a main factor in that choice.
"that rock is not from there" lmaooo. Stay safe though & keep living life!
You handled that beautifully. I love the bags. Very limited edition. Lol
This video was especially good, like it ended so quick. That means your videos are getting better man keep going ✌
Don't think I could handle the crowds in NYC. Can barley do a weekend in Pittsburgh. Guess I'm just country
Truck camping in New York City -- now that's really something - and he did not get robbed or scammed! Good going, Mav!
WTF tourists come to NY every day and 8 Million people live there. Why so much fear the fear is the poison.
Love the channel ...please think about making a cookbook ....for camping and just in general...food looks bussin every time ! Much love from Nova Scotia ❤🤙🏽

Mav you sat on mine and my wife's rock dog that was cool..I have a picture of us sitting in the same spot on my FB. Dude that was so cool brother!
Dude!!!!! I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE BAGS!!! Mav, you really need to do a bigger run on those. I would be picking up a Fanny pack and a a full pack to try out 🔥
Drop more of the bags!
I'm not fond of any big city. I have a brother and his family that lives near NYC. They love it. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
No fish in Central Park… that’s your guardian angel looking out for you.
I had anxiety watching this. It wouldn’t have been me. Well done….I think.
Mav, I love NYC. There’s no place like it.
As a fellow Minnesotan, I commend you on your patience!
Loved this video- I know the exact spot you stayed at- i love biking through that neighborhood on the water.
"I think the police definitely are super stoked on people sleeping in their cars, but once you're in, you're in" What in the FUCK does that mean? 🤣
Mav, have to say, I was a little afraid for you this time. Enjoy watching your adventures, take better care of yourself please.
Dude how rude were those guys?? You had every right to feel the way you did and I tell you what you are stronger than I am that's for sure because I damn sure would have went off!! I'm from the East Coast so I deal with people like that a lot!! But yeah as always Great Video Mav!!
