I understand completely, haha! But it works while in a van currently without water. I use throw away dishes and just the cast iron daily atm. It works and honestly adds good flavor for the next time I cook. The only thing I leave in usually is just the animal fats or oils, which is 100% ok. I scrape meat out still. I probably should have talked about it more haha

Mf has never heard of seasoning a pan lol… if someone cleaned one of my pans with soap and water I would do something exceedingly violent though I’m not sure what.

Um, no ! I just can't can't get past the cast iron.. I only cook in cast iron and If you leave all that nasty in that cast Iron more than a day and cook in it, that is so nasty. That is not seasoning... Paper towels and spatula works wonders... but, you are one eating out of it, so rock on..LOL

You have to clean that cast iron. You are basically leaving left over food that’s rotting daily. 🤮Dude you are going to get really sick. PLEASE CLEAN IT! I’m worry about you.

@@Winterstormadvisory It's fine to clean cast iron with a little bit of dishwashing liquid and water. The age-old advice about never using soap to clean cast iron came from the time when soap was made from lye, which definitely removes seasoning. Dishwashing liquid is a detergent, and contains no lye, thus is safe in moderation.

I'm re shooting this van tour this next week. My last footage was ruined haha

Well he's never gotten sick from this, so it's whatever. Means his immune system is constantly growing stronger than yours.

Ahh man! I wish you the best of luck with all this! I really hope you can make this work!

I did Threonate for a while myself! I loved it, but then switched to store brand and didn't notice a difference so I continued with it since it's cheaper.

Nice! Thank you for watching my videos for so long!

I've heard of Mav in Van Alley! My friend's over there showed me his videos!

Hey cousin! Thank you!

Yeah haha

Besides the videos, I would just say to start planning and making preparations now! Start saving and learn as much as you can. I also have a "how to prepare for vanlife" video

@@OutdoorsEmbrace thank you for replying I really like your videos on van life you’re a true van lifer and a good man. Have a great day

@@Goodamnl1294 thank you! I'm here and read all my comments if you ever comment back again! I'll be sure to answer as best as I can!

Yes! Next video coming out besides vlogs! I shot it already in NYC, but the footage was unusable. I'm shooting it again soon!

Yes, it's too complex to properly text about on here. But a video is 100% sure to happen.

@@OutdoorsEmbrace AWESOME man, looking forward to it. I’ve hit the bell so I’ll be sure to see it when you decide to drop it. 💯

@bluebeast1583 thank you so much for that! I'm still on this trip but definitely will get back to working on the van again soon at my family's place in NC. I'll be going on a trip south soon after though, so I'm not sure how soon the video will go up. Until then, I can say to look up on Google, "diagrams of Recirculating showers". There actually are a few out there.

It's not finished at all! About 50% I would say! Congrats on the van and build will be fun!

I appreciate that!

I've had a friend egg every single morning since the start of Covid. Then I noticed the evil overlords were trying to scare people off eating eggs so now I have one in the evening too just to piss them off. 🙃

So the vast secret I've learned to rid yourself of brain fog is an ongoing battle in life. But it works so well! Fish, especially fatty fish, every other day. That Salmon I cooked, that is what cures most of the brain fog. Second, and absolutely just as important, the right kind if excersise. The kind that makes your head throb with blood, like walking quickly up a mountain, or high intensity workouts that make you constantly breath for lots of air. This is my own ideas below, what I just said is most important, but hopefully below helps you even more. I put this together myself after years of trial and error. The "!" means it's more critical: Deeper Sleep: ! Exercise Intensively ! Liver Before Bed (if restless at night) ! Red Light Therapy on Gut (melatonin) Potassium Magnesium (do not take daily) Less Brainfog: ! Exercise Intensively ! Eat Salmon (DHA) every other day ! 2 Day Fast or more Electrolyte Drink (all 3 salts) More Motivation: ! Exercise Intensively ! Sleep Before 10pm ! Liver Night Before ! 2 Day Fast ! No Phone in Morning ? Psilocybin Day Before

@@OutdoorsEmbrace I wish I could go to bed early but I'm just not that disciplined. I'll tell myself I'll go to bed early and then I end up googling some random shit til all hours. It's ruining my life actually if I'm honest.

@sandrashane677 for that, I believe you should buy yourself a nice pair of red Light glasses that block 99% of the blue light. There is no alternative to discipline here, but I have this exact same issue. If we must be around blue light from a late night search or TV screen, we can at least block the blue light so we still get tired. Otherwise you are blocking your brain from making melatonin. Your hypothalamus takes in the light from eyes and sets our internal clock. You could also try red light therapy and shine the light at your forehead for increased melatonin production. All of this info I give comes from many peer reviewed sources btw. It helps me personally get over the issues you described!

Thank you! And I definitely will be making a full van build step by step video once I'm done!

Nice! Hell yeah! And yes the pot like this just works so easy. As long as you don't leave it out for days without use, it's not going to be bad.

Gotta choose your poisons brother. I eat the odd seed oil because I didn't get pfiz3r3d. Risk vs Reward. Eating salmon every 2nd day is very healthy.

@@MyFriendlyPup Each to their own. I know it's hard to give up convenience.

So I look at all nutrition labels when buying any food. I'm very knowledgeable on seed oils. They are way worse than sugar even. They are toxic to smell even. This one does have soybean oil. You are right though. Doing this every other day with my fish isn't the greatest thing for chronic inflammation levels. Plus the seed oils raise insulin levels more than carbs if you were to eat them all day. They are one of the worst foods out there. I think you are right, I should look into making my own or get a better brand.

@@OutdoorsEmbrace Cheers. Homemade doesn't last as long, so you just have to make smaller batches, or use it up quicker.

Yes! I always cook with doors open atm. I plan to put in a cooking exhaust fan.

Try the salmon every other day for a while. If you do, can I ask you maybe comment back and let me know if it works for you? Also regularly lifting weights works too a good bit. It's been a life long goal of mine to get rid of my brain fog, and these two things work best.

@@OutdoorsEmbrace problem is I’m allergic to sea food, but I’ll try lifting as I’ve been meaning to go to the gym recently

Oh, interesting. It's a really small bottle. Wonder if it matters. I'll look it up.

I definitely will be!

Ask anything! I could talk about it for hours! I might make an entire video on my diet experience as a vlog or something like that

Try eating Salmon daily! Do it for at least a week and see how you feel. I am eating it every other day now and it magically makes everything so much better for me. I go through times of severe ADHD symptoms and I start really feeling the burnout from it. Salmon made it way better very quickly. Also for motivation, try cow liver... I understand that is not for everyone, but it does help me too. Also there is a precursor to dopamine, L-tyrosine. I've been experimenting with a little. Take very little of the powder at a time, but it's an Amino acid. The thought is that ADHD is somewhat rooted in dopamine issues, so the precursor to make dopamine might help.

@@OutdoorsEmbrace Thanks I already found it by staring at Google maps for about 30 minutes

I'll try that out next time! I could use a change of flavor from that same sauce each time.

I'm working towards a goal of building this van, so I've used my savings for the van so far, and now using income to build the rest. I'm full time KZfaq for the last 4 to 5 years. I now also work festivals on the side while traveling to make money while moving around. I may start a business soon around a personal Van Life Rally event. What I am currently working on is putting out content more consistently. Life has been so relaxed and care free that it is easy to fall behind. Again, I comment back to everyone, so feel free to ask more questions.

Yes! I can stand straight up. I'm 6'3"

Yeah, I thought the Hasidic Jews were part of the Amish when I was shooting this. Google told me wrong.

There are some similarities. Both are highly religious and largely self-sufficient. The Amish are Christian though, as opposed to the Hasidic community.

It was just a song from my KZfaq available music selection site I use

@@OutdoorsEmbrace sounded like a good acoustic solo track with good quality audio! I like to listen to instrumental tracks while driving. Thank man!

Yeah, I thought the Hasidic Jews were part of the Amish when I was shooting this. Google told me wrong.

The diagonal bed idea is interesting, I never thought of putting it diagonally, but you may have a good idea here. I'll think more about it, but for now, I like the length wise bed.

@@OutdoorsEmbrace Yeah it's only an idea in my head right now. I dont have much saved for my camper so it'll be a while before I get one. It might be a shite idea in practice lol I just dont like the long corridor feel of a lot of vans.
