With all the depressing/toxic content on the internet today it’s always so refreshing watching your videos. The vibes are immaculate and you’re just a genuine wholesome dude.
Mav, if you intend to keep the truck over another winter, I’d advise keeping that truck bed liner instead of disposing of it. Spray it with foam insulation to fill in the grooves. Then lay down some rigid foam , topping it off with 1/4” wood of some sort on the floor and walls. Screw that wood to the ridges with coarse screws. This will add much needed R-value to the interior. After I insulated the van (lil 2017 Ram promaster city) It saved soooooooo much time and fuel to heat the van and keep it heated. Plus it makes a great base for build out.
I’ve actually found car camping in the cold far preferable to in the heat. I think this summer you need a series of camping in the heat and ways to stay cool! I’ve always got my golden retriever with me and his long furred self for sure prefers to be a bit chilly. We’ve traveled around the southern U.S. out of my suv over the last few months just adventuring and filming but with it being still kinda winter haven’t actually dealt with too much heat because it tends to cool down at night. Keep on trucking!
@Hen of Mayhem we spent a couple nights in Florida car camping in December it was like 70 degrees at night and it was by far the worst sleep I’ve gotten in my car. I’ll take 0 degrees any day of the week lol
I cannot stop laughing at how he just said he couldn’t sleep to him causally picking up a mouse with his hands 😂 great content as always Mav! Can’t wait for the new setup!
Idk why the algorithm brought me here. Can we all agree that this is the purest man that probably doesn't understand why he is as big as he is? He's literally apologizing for not making better food because he used the included seasoning instead of bouillon or stock 😂 Mav, I found your videos like 3 days ago stressed af about work and stuff. Your videos seem to be all about things working out and just living life. I hope you are doing well 💙
You are very polite, your parents raised you well. They must very nice people too. I've seen them in a couple of your videos and they look happy and proud of you.
Hey Mav, Thank you so much! You honestly have no idea how much these videos help me deal with the struggles of life, I know some people might not feel the same way but your content really makes me forget about my own problems and I sometimes feel like I’m on the adventure tagging along! Just thank you and never stop doing things your way!
For insulation, if you go to a carpet store and beg for their samples, those sample squares have a rubber backing on them that makes a great insulator. I used them in the Air Force to insulate the wooden floors of my tent, when deployed to cold environments.
I made the mistake of getting carpet with plastic liner on the back (not thinking) and it's honestly one of the biggest issues I've had in my van Build. Horrible thermal properties. If not for my dog I would have tossed the carpet weeks ago when the weather turned cold, but the old guy needs a soft surface for grip. Already lined up a replacement carpet with foam-rubber backing if I decide to redo the floor.
Recently found your videos again, it’s dope to see the fans you’ve acquired. Wasn’t sure if you were going to be able to make it on your own once you and Jon stopped working together. Your channel growth speaks for itself congrats mav
Mav I’ve been watching you for so long now, every episode is so therapeutic. Just to relax and watch it. Ive been putting my friends on your channel and just bought merch to support. Keep up the grind, love from 🇨🇦
I’m hoping he does this lol cutting and bolting some 4x4’s is what I would do! Or trade out for a taller shell, got one for a f350 and spent some time at different resorts with my gf! Cramped for 2, spacious for 1!
It has been a hard day for me today, my grandma passed away and have been feeling down, but seeing you capture that mouse I couldn't help but laugh and put a smile on my face, thank you, glad it wasn't too hard to capture like the last one was, lol
Man I'm sorry to hear about your loss I hope you had some good times with your grandpa which memories last forever try to be with your love ones an cherish the time you get to spend with them that mouse creeped me out I would rather wrestle an alligator than grab a mouse
Only 5 minutes in and gotta say, my little pony, I admire your hard working efforts. My oldest son is 27 and still lives at home. Doesn’t have a real job, no car, no health insurance and Is addicted to twitternet. He does take care of a small garden, chickens and does everything dad can’t get done to keep this little mansion in the Northwoods of Florida beautiful. He does a lot around here and day trades too. We honestly don’t want him to leave. But I worry about his long term future like a wife and family...anyway, love ya bro.
An idea for the interior - If you could make some kind of shelf that would clamp onto the top of the truck bed rail/bottom of the camper shell (where the two meet) it would be nearly the same height as those two boxes. You could have it hinged, potentially with a flip down leg or two for stability, but it would give you the ability to bring a shelf down when you need to cook/clean/do whatever but fold it back out of the way for easier entry and exit.
Fleece Pillow makes a huge difference, or using a fleece sweater as a pillow case, truly helps in the cold weather. What i use during Winter warfar training
My record with no heat or fire known , is -36 for 3 day's , right here in upstate N.Y. , when the frost builds up inside under your blankets , you know cold ! Right on man 👍👍 , way to go ~ Alan
We’ve come full circle! I remember watching that video for the first time, it was my first Mav video! Love you, bro. Your videos make me feel better when I’m down, or anxious. Keep em’ coming!!!! :)
It’s a game changer to have separate sleeping and a cabinet with counter tops side with a space to sit and put your feet down. I built my bed side at 30 and just to top of wheel well with 3 drawers and the other side at 18” deep 21” high cabinet and extended my counter top from the wall of the cap across the cabinet leaving a small overhang. I can store everything I need to camp and its out of the way with easy access. I have a leer 122 taller cap which is very comfortable, lots of head room. Too bad we cant post pics here so you can see the set up. Thanks for sharing your videos!
ANOTHER PRO TIP, Padding padding padding, with a moisture barrier,/to keep the cold air in out and your body heat in, and you will sleep so much more comfortably!
love your videos. I said keep on truckin to someone at a bank because she was having a bad day and someone else heard me and yells you watch Mav too. Sending love from Louisiana.
I put a piece of closed cell foam insulation on top of my bed liner and topped it with good plywood. It made a huge difference, especially in cold temps.
Mav DUUUDE u have no idea how fn happy i am that you FINALLY got rid of all that bs. As a tall guy, I never knew why you sacrificed head and wiggle room for useless knick knacks u can find other means for. As in this video. Omg i had less than half of what u have in a mountaineer and still had a toilet, tv, memory foam, plug in microwave (food warmer) laundry basket, omg the works with two front seats. I say this to say its refreshing to see u back to minimal.
That was interesting, I remember those early days of yours. And later when you got your boat and how over the moon you were to own it. Being retrospect is a GOOD THING 👍. Keeps you centered and moving forward. One thing I do miss though...your laughter. You used to laugh a lot. At life, at yourself, and I haven't seen that boyish grin 😀 😄 😁 side of you nearly enough. Just a reminder to never out grow that, don't leave it at home or keep it in your pockets, OK? Change is great, progressing is wonderful 👏 but genuine laughter ❤ is the gateway keys to your magic. Love ya Grasshopper 🦗. I'm an old Granny👵, so I still get to call you Grasshopper 🦗. Be gentle on yourself and stay safe always.
Love it Mav. I know what I'm having for dinner tomorrow night now. Also deciding how to set my truck up here in the UK, so following your rebuild with interest. If it's good enough for you, it'll certainly be good enough for me!!! Keep on truckin Mav, you are an inspiration to many of us!!! Peace Bro.
VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING MY FRIEND! The fact that you had a mouse come in, tells me that you had plenty of fresh air ventilation! And your first idea may be to seal your truck back up completely, but always remember, the reason why campers are built with an upper vent and an intake vent, is to prevent carbon dioxide poisoning! And also, lack of oxygen, With catalytic type heaters.Important Message to everyone! Always make sure you have plenty of ventilation, with a screen to keep your oxygen margins safe, and rodents/snakes/bugs out!!!
You could try some insulation board like they use under tiles, then carpet on top. Its only about 6mm thick. And maybe a hinged drop down side to your cot that you can flip up to widen the cot when its time for sleeping? It definitely looked more comfortable being able to sit with your feet down and easier to cook when you are inside
Just bought the water bottle!! Love your videos. Always love watching them. I’ve been watching for years now. Love your content and can’t wait to see what ur new set up looks like. So happy for you mav. Much love
I manage 15 boats that range from pontoons to skiffs. Over the last 2 years we have been getting all new motors for everything and when you said hard to find 150-175 I laughed. Everything above 70hp is hard to find on the east coast. Love the new motor we have the exact same one on a 26ft Carolina Skiff. You'll love it!
Mac you can spray foam the underside of the truck bed w/o interfering with brake cables electrical wiring etc., there is at least a 1”-2” gap between the bottom side of the bed and the metal frame that the bed is attached to that actually bolts to the truck frame. The truck frame is where all the wires and cable are run.
Just finished eating my ramen. Heat water with seasoning, when boils - add noodles, when they are done, scoop out with chopsticks, then add egg and veggies and meat to the boiling seasoned water. Few minutes, pour over noodles. Soooo good and in less time than yours.😊🥰 How did you get a mouse in your car, how did it get in?
Me, my bro and our buddies have done similar camping like this, nothing compared to -30° but still using only basics for cooking, prepping sleep areas and whatnot. Good times are sometimes spent in the simpler ways of life.
FYI, being 1/2 Asian (mom is Japanese) an Leaving home i like most ate tons of Raman noodles. Now being old and had 6 bypasses which two of the main arteries were 100 percent blocked an the other 4 were 90% blocked i should have not made it through recovery but God had other plans for me. So back to the Raman noodles season pak, throw it away. I use non sodium vegetable stock and an add low sodium Kikoman soy sauce for some Asian zing an some green onion. An if u have an Asian market an see if they have Dashi add to taste for a hint of fish flavor. Awesome in cold weather but I eat it all the time to remember how much I miss MOM. Enjoy 👍my take u a few tries to get it to your liking but I've watched u for some time and see u r a creative cook. I do keep Raman noodles by the case, just don't use the seasonal pack ever.
@@BrendanExplores i had already subscribed :) watched most of your vids , templar cave was cool there are some cool campers in the uk: off camping, Liam the terrible, Those happy days, Wills whereabouts, wandering where and Brendan explores :))
Dope vid! Excited to see the new set up too 🤙🏽 One thing I will add, you should consider bringing a backpack or tote bag in grocery stores with you to limit your plastic bag consumption! Just my opinion! Stoked to see your next adventure! :)
Yeah dude feel your pain. Me and my son spent a weekend in -40 in our cabin with our Cheapeake Bay Retriever. Cold held back by woods three stars bags that saved both of my grandpa's in a fire over 50 years ago This is a true story if you
A layer of reflectiics covered with those square foam floor tiles that fit together like a jigsaw with tabs and a floor rug on top should keep you insulated.
I think a good fold down countertop, kind of like how they do in tiny houses could be the perfect way to get you table space and leg room in the same area.
@@visaliabsaeteurn559, not thru chicken wire type mesh. Besides, steel wool packed into openings that mice travel or could get thru, will keep them from doing so.
That motor is going to be SWEET on your boat! Are we going to see any Mav water skiing videos in the future? Just make sure you have a driver and a spotter. My Dad's friend almost crashed our boat onto shore one time. She was the driver, I was the spotter, my Dad the skier, but she decided to watch him instead of looking where she was going. Can't believe you got another critter friend in your truck. Hope there are no more. Looking forward to seeing how you convert it this time. It looks way more comfortable sitting and cooking inside this way. Stay safe and God bless.
@@pratyush4real Well they lasted 14 years and both were wonderful people. But I suppose they were on different paths in life. It really wasn't my business and thankfully neither parent used my sister and I as pawns. People get divorced, it happens. I still had a very happy childhood and loved both my parents dearly. They have both passed. I believe I will see them again in heaven. God bless.
Love the vids! I have to say, chopping up and down that way is dangerous for your hands, inefficient, and wears down your knives faster. A smooth, down and forward, gliding motion is going to get you better results all around, bud!
For beef and chicken bouillon, check the Hispanic section of the grocery store. Our store has certain spices in that section that also includes little boxes of beef and chicken bouillon. You don’t have to buy a ton for just one meal. It’s only like 4 cubes per pack. Idk if every store is that way but our local store is.
Insulate the floor using polystyrene and lower the bed a couple inches to give you the proper headroom. Install some shelving with a proper cooking counter. Set up a good stereo and you are good to go! Great video! Mouse buster!!!! Oh ya and seal all the cracks to eliminate any more friendlies.
@@GalaxyPluss ooh I know I live in Michigan practically still time left now 😂 I just don’t have all of the supplies I need to do it just yet I guess I should have been more specific on that one 😅😂
You're not the only one. There are a lot of benefits for the winter vs the summer. Temperature-wise. There's only so much you can do in the summer to cool off, but there's plenty of ways to warm yourself in the winter.
Have a look at the Alu-Cab camper. It is made here in South Africa and I see tons of people in the US and all around the world using it. You will have tons of space and you'll be super comfortable.
Hey Mav! I’m loving the videos and cant to see what you come with for your new setup. You said you like to have leg room but also a wider bed. My suggested idea would be to have a bed that folds. One half could fold upwards latching to a hook or something while the other half could be used at a chair. It’s a tricky explanation
Mavrick, Wax paper is a good way to provide a visual barrier while allowing light to enter the space, while being easily installed, removed, and stored.
With all the depressing/toxic content on the internet today it’s always so refreshing watching your videos. The vibes are immaculate and you’re just a genuine wholesome dude.
I agree
I agree with you too
not to mention his humor lol
Yup specially those you tubers that share there drama like if I don’t have enough drama in my life already lol
Seems wholesome but in these extreme conditions. It seems dangerous.

For insulation, if you go to a carpet store and beg for their samples, those sample squares have a rubber backing on them that makes a great insulator. I used them in the Air Force to insulate the wooden floors of my tent, when deployed to cold environments.
I made the mistake of getting carpet with plastic liner on the back (not thinking) and it's honestly one of the biggest issues I've had in my van Build. Horrible thermal properties. If not for my dog I would have tossed the carpet weeks ago when the weather turned cold, but the old guy needs a soft surface for grip.

Me, my bro and our buddies have done similar camping like this, nothing compared to -30° but still using only basics for cooking, prepping sleep areas and whatnot. Good times are sometimes spent in the simpler ways of life.
Love that your still keeping it real. Awesome video MAV.
FYI, being 1/2 Asian (mom is Japanese) an Leaving home i like most ate tons of Raman noodles. Now being old and had 6 bypasses which two of the main arteries were 100 percent blocked an the other 4 were 90% blocked i should have not made it through recovery but God had other plans for me. So back to the Raman noodles season pak, throw it away. I use non sodium vegetable stock and an add low sodium Kikoman soy sauce for some Asian zing an some green onion. An if u have an Asian market an see if they have Dashi add to taste for a hint of fish flavor. Awesome in cold weather but I eat it all the time to remember how much I miss MOM. Enjoy 👍my take u a few tries to get it to your liking but I've watched u for some time and see u r a creative cook. I do keep Raman noodles by the case, just don't use the seasonal pack ever.
The way the mouse just looks at him like “bruh, it’s cold out here.”
Jamming out to that live love asap. I already respected you but hearing brand new guy in the video made me respect you that much more.🔥
I have been here before that video. One thing I love about mav is he doesn’t change he stays the same and keeps his videos raw not like other fakes.
UA-cam knows me to well. They recommended me these types of videos at like 4am and I love them.
Man... And I thought car camping in the UK was cold ❄️😰🤣. Another great video Mav, one of the reasons I car camp myself 👍
I’m one of your subs Brendan🤣
@@taylorsmith5571 nice one buddy 😁👍
New subscriber, you may be the UK's Mav! 😎
@@saginawdan thank you very much and I can only dream of that success but you never know 🙂👍
@@BrendanExplores i had already subscribed :) watched most of your vids , templar cave was cool there are some cool campers in the uk: off camping, Liam the terrible, Those happy days, Wills whereabouts, wandering where and Brendan explores :))
It’s the GOODMORNING for me at the end ❤️😂 your handsome face brings me so much joy
"That felt so naughty" 😆 ohhh Mav, you never disappoint 🤘
Dope vid! Excited to see the new set up too 🤙🏽
One thing I will add, you should consider bringing a backpack or tote bag in grocery stores with you to limit your plastic bag consumption! Just my opinion!
Stoked to see your next adventure! :)
Love your content man, so cool videos! Keep it up🔥🔥
14:59 pause it there bruh looks adorable n he's gonna be effed up xD the moment he was outside lmao all emotions xD
Yeah dude feel your pain. Me and my son spent a weekend in -40 in our cabin with our Cheapeake Bay Retriever. Cold held back by woods three stars bags that saved both of my grandpa's in a fire over 50 years ago This is a true story if you
I love hearing the crunchy snow. Makes me miss North Dakota.
The anxiety I get when Mav cuts WHACK WHACK WHACK with his knives 😂
I’ve thought many times, “If I ever meet this guy 1) that would be dope and 2) I need to show him proper kitchen knife skills” 😅
Every time he cuts the green onions like that I get so stressed out🤣
And I believe he has some sharpies.
Every time!!!
He’s gonna f up and learn the hard way
A layer of reflectiics covered with those square foam floor tiles that fit together like a jigsaw with tabs and a floor rug on top should keep you insulated.
I made your Manicotti recipe the other day, my 9 year old said "This is amazing.."
Yay! 👏 A new build...exciting! 👏
I think a good fold down countertop, kind of like how they do in tiny houses could be the perfect way to get you table space and leg room in the same area.
I have watched you from the beginning, I remember you shopping for your truck! Well done!
Your gonna get a lot more mice since you drilled that exhaust hole for the heater. That's exactly how that one got in most likely.
You think a mesh screen would help
@@WhalesWilly, it would, yea
@@RogueRipple mouse will most likely bite through.
@@visaliabsaeteurn559, not thru chicken wire type mesh. Besides, steel wool packed into openings that mice travel or could get thru, will keep them from doing so.
That motor is going to be SWEET on your boat! Are we going to see any Mav water skiing videos in the future? Just make sure you have a driver and a spotter. My Dad's friend almost crashed our boat onto shore one time. She was the driver, I was the spotter, my Dad the skier, but she decided to watch him instead of looking where she was going. Can't believe you got another critter friend in your truck. Hope there are no more. Looking forward to seeing how you convert it this time. It looks way more comfortable sitting and cooking inside this way. Stay safe and God bless.
where was your mom
@@pratyush4real My parents were divorced.
@@coleengoodell7523 DAMN , WHY?
@@pratyush4real Well they lasted 14 years and both were wonderful people. But I suppose they were on different paths in life. It really wasn't my business and thankfully neither parent used my sister and I as pawns. People get divorced, it happens. I still had a very happy childhood and loved both my parents dearly. They have both passed. I believe I will see them again in heaven. God bless.
@@coleengoodell7523 I'm sorry for your loss sir.
Love the vids! I have to say, chopping up and down that way is dangerous for your hands, inefficient, and wears down your knives faster. A smooth, down and forward, gliding motion is going to get you better results all around, bud!
I always hear the Chef that I worked for yelling "ROCK THAT BLADE!!" LOL
Makes me nervous every time!!!
It’s crazy how I love watching that kind of videos
How to mice get in a fully lined truck bed?
Fellow overpacker here. Just got into car camping. I find it's far more annoying to not have something than to have a few extra items. 👍
Idk why I laughed at 14:58 😂. The mouse looks like, "oh shit, he's about to throw me out in the cold now!" 🤣🤣
For beef and chicken bouillon, check the Hispanic section of the grocery store. Our store has certain spices in that section that also includes little boxes of beef and chicken bouillon. You don’t have to buy a ton for just one meal. It’s only like 4 cubes per pack. Idk if every store is that way but our local store is.
Love you Mav keep up the grind ❤️
Insulate the floor using polystyrene and lower the bed a couple inches to give you the proper headroom. Install some shelving with a proper cooking counter. Set up a good stereo and you are good to go! Great video! Mouse buster!!!! Oh ya and seal all the cracks to eliminate any more friendlies.
I can’t wait for this winter been wanting to try something like this one time just for the fun of it!
It was legit winter not 2 months ago lol
@@GalaxyPluss you don’t know what’s going on with ppls life’s bro chill
@@GalaxyPluss maybe hes from the southern hemisphere
@@GalaxyPluss ooh I know I live in Michigan practically still time left now 😂 I just don’t have all of the supplies I need to do it just yet I guess I should have been more specific on that one 😅😂
You're not the only one. There are a lot of benefits for the winter vs the summer. Temperature-wise. There's only so much you can do in the summer to cool off, but there's plenty of ways to warm yourself in the winter.
Have a look at the Alu-Cab camper. It is made here in South Africa and I see tons of people in the US and all around the world using it. You will have tons of space and you'll be super comfortable.
Hey Mav! I’m loving the videos and cant to see what you come with for your new setup.
You said you like to have leg room but also a wider bed. My suggested idea would be to have a bed that folds. One half could fold upwards latching to a hook or something while the other half could be used at a chair. It’s a tricky explanation
Mavrick,
Wax paper is a good way to provide a visual barrier while allowing light to enter the space, while being easily installed, removed, and stored.
When your watching from Australia and it’s -30 degrees, I can’t even imagine what it feels like.
Yep! I will take our winters any day 😂😂
As someone who lives where he does. I can say it's not fun. The heat Bill's are very expensive
Imagine being where I am, here in the middle of Brazil, getting almost 40º C everyday
only gets as cold as about minus 5 deg in tassie at its worst that feels pretty cold nothing compared to that sort of temps
I've experienced minus 23 Celsius in Amsterdam and it was undescribable
