In today's video, I'm going to accept Red White and Bethune's
challenge to answer 30 this or that questions. Let's go!
It's cold but i'm still in shorts what is going on youtube greetings from cold and snowy Missouri
it's in the 20s or teens right now it's getting down in the single digits at night um for those
that don't know i've been taking care of my mother she was diagnosed with covid she's actually in the
hospital now she's doing much better still not out of the woods yet but thank you for all the well
wishes that i've gotten from all you and concerned about my mother i really appreciate it it means a
lot to me i was really struggling what i was going to do a video about this week i definitely want to
do a video about cold weather camping because i'm living out of my van here in this cold but that
video is going to be a little bit more extensive and with what's going on in my life right now
i don't really have the time to put that kind of video together but luckily my friends over at the
youtube channel red white and bethune challenged me to a this or that challenge of 30 questions
and that's a relatively easy video to put together so that's what i'm going to do i accepted their
challenge i'm gonna answer those 30 questions and make sure you go over to their channel
watch their videos subscribe they have a great channel they travel in a bus with their family
a really amazing family i got to meet them in tampa just awesome awesome people all right
let's get in my van and warm up all right now that we're in the van we're all nice and cozy
got the pretty white snow background let's jump into this this and that challenge the first one is
campground or boondocking definitely boondocking if you've been watching my channel i've boondocked
at some amazing places and while i do use campgrounds i prefer to be boondocking in the
middle of nowhere on blm land or national forest land next up class a or towable i'd like to say
none of the above i'm a class b guy but if i had to choose between one of those two i would choose
a towable my most popular video is a tour of kaza's airstream base camp that she tows with
a toyota 4runner and i'd probably get the exact same setup if i got a towable gas or diesel diesel
the biggest reason is i would really like to have a diesel heater that feeds off my diesel gas tank
while my travado is a four season rig it's kind of a pain in the butt to keep it a four season rig
because i rely on propane in my next video i'm actually going to show you a hack
that i use to extend the life of my propane here in my travado composting toilet or black tank
again i'd like to say none of the above and say cassette toilet but since i have to pick i'm
going to say composting toilet i hate black tanks and class b rvs because it takes up space that i
could be using for more fresh water which would allow me to boondock longer solar or generator
again i have a volta system neither one of those is really important to me but if i had to choose
between the two solar slides or no slides no slides smaller the better thousand trails or koa
koa even though i'm a thousand trails member and i've stayed at a ton of them thousand trails are
hit and miss and quality i've stated a few koas and they kind of have standard type of quality
so based on my own experience i would prefer to stay in a koa although you'll probably find me in
a thousand trails because i'm a lifetime thousand trails member harvest toast or walmart parking
lot that's a no-brainer harvest host if you don't know what harvest toast is it's a network
of wineries breweries golf courses museums farms that allow rvers to stay the night in exchange for
buying some food if you're staying on a farm buying a glass of wine if you're at a winery
the membership fee is only 60 a year somewhere around there when you use a discount code every
harvest host member has a discount code so if you got a friend that has house you can use hers but i
have mine down below if you use it you'll get 15 off and i'll get 15 bucks national park or state
park national park if you would have asked me this about two months ago i would have said state park
but recently a federal court handed down a decision saying that youtubers like me can film
in national parks and post it on youtube and make money off of it were protected
by the first amendment so because of that i'm gonna say national parks beaches or mountains
ah that's a tough one
mountains i love both of them but nothing beats camping in the colorado rockies all
right just a quick pause if you're enjoying this video make sure you smash that thumbs up button
propane fire or wood fire definitely wood fire i'm not a huge fan of propane period so i rather have
the romanticism of a you know fire outside of my rig you know making all the popping and crackling
sounds that wood makes things like that so i would definitely say wood fire dogs or cats definitely
dogs tow vehicle or no tow vehicle no tow vehicle that's the beauty of having a class b van i don't
have to tow a vehicle i do have a motorcycle but i'm not actually towing it buckies or loves
i wish i could say flying j but i'll go with buckies desert or snow
as beautiful as this is definitely desert i love desert camping it's actually where i'm going next
i love that you have warm days but cool nights with no humidity pull through or back in honestly
with a class b it doesn't matter but to make it easy we'll say pull through s'mores or hot dogs
definitely hot dogs i love a good hot dog fishing or hiking definitely hiking i have a playlist of
all the hikes i've done if you haven't watched it you should go check it out i hike to machu picchu
i hike in patagonia i hike to rainbow mountain i hike to mount chavano in colorado so yeah
definitely hiking i do like to fish but i prefer hiking camping alone or camping with friends again
another tough one i'm an introvert so i really enjoy camping alone but sometimes you crave human
contact so i'm gonna go with camping alone and then going out and seeking my friends and going
to their campsites and hanging out with them but but probably camping alone winter in florida
or winter in arizona definitely winter in arizona i like florida i just came from there you should
go check out my florida everglades video where i ran into some crocodile but i really love the
desert as i mentioned before berkey or no berkey so definitely berkey but not the big giant silver
thing that you see everybody carrying the sport berkey i'm you know i'm always talking about this
thing i love it there's a little the little filter there it's the same as any other berkey filter you
get about 600 refills with this and the filter to replace it is about 20 so you're basically getting
600 bottles of water for for 20 you can take it on a hike with you it has this really cool design
where you never touch where you put your mouth so you're not getting your finger germs on it it
costs 30 bucks for this thing and it comes with a filter so highly recommend this i think it's
linked below this is probably my favorite van life gadget that i have this next one's funny
washer and dryer in your rig or a laundromat i mean if i had the water capacity i would say
washer and dryer in the rig but that's not reality so definitely laundromat air fryer or instapot
again if you've been watching my channel you you know i don't cook that much although i did do a
video recently where i made a meal but if i had to choose one of those man i kind of want both but i
i'd say probably the air fryer just because i think it would be easier to make meals than that
than to make meals in the insta pot planner are spontaneous i'd like to think i'm a planner
but i change my plan so much and i'm gonna have to go with spontaneous remodeled interior or leave it
factory leave it factory anybody who walks in my rig thinks i bought it like a day ago
my van looks exactly the way it did the first day i bought it for the most part
other than maybe the three inch lift i put on it but yeah i like i like it nice out of the factory
shower in rig or rv bath house i wish taking a bath in a stream or lake was an option
but i'm definitely going to say rv bath house the biggest reason for that is i'm in a
travato k doesn't have a whole lot of fresh water capacity and the shower is not the easiest to use
clam tint or awning honestly i think they both suck i wish i could have neither one of them but
if i had to choose one i would say awning because it's just hooked up to here and i don't have to do
anything move weekly or move monthly definitely move weekly i tried the whole monthly thing
last month i don't like traveling that way in an rv when i traveled internationally i did
stay in a country for 30 days but that's just different it's so i could absorb the culture
and my travel style now in an rv is a little bit different i like to move more often that's the
reason why my channel's name is 30 in a wake up by the way because i used to live in a country for 30
days and then move to a new country all right next hot spot in the rig or rv park wi-fi well since i
like the boondock a lot definitely hotspot in the rig i made a whole video about how i connect to
the internet in my rv i prefer to be out in the boonies so i need a bunch of different ways to
connect to the internet since i'm a full-time youtuber that's what i do to make a living a
lot of people complain about rv park internet but i've actually had pretty good success in rv parks
using their internet and i've done it a few times but i prefer to have my own hotspot blackstone or
charcoal grill again i don't cook that much one of my new year's resolutions is to learn how to grill
i don't know how to grill but i think of those two i would definitely say probably charcoal all right
that was a lot of fun thank you red white and bethune for challenging me my next few videos are
probably going to be videos about camping in cold weather it's going to get down into the negatives
like negative 4 negative 5 over the next few days and i really want to see how well my van holds up
and i'm gonna document that so if that kind of content interests you and you're not subscribed
