Never would I have thought I'd have to survive a hurricane by camping in my van. Talk about one of my sketchiest van camping experiences ever! Luckily we made it out with zero scratches and live to travel out of my van another day!

There’s a difference between a frying pan and baking pan. You don’t use baking pans on a direct flame like that. They’re too thin. You can fry your bacon in skillet then remove bacon and then cook eggs in same skillet. Eggs don’t take very long to cook.

@quinceyadamsapple Жыл бұрын

It seems astounding to me that you're worried about police and residents moving you on whilst you look for shelter. Here in Australia we also have strict rules around car camping (especially along the east coast) but I doubt you'd find a resident or officer who would move you on other than for your own safety - and most residents would probably offer you a driveway if they had one available. Especially considering how seriously we take natural disasters here. Glad you made it out safely though.

@TaylorVanBeek Жыл бұрын

Yeah it's crazy in Florida with any sort of vehicle camping. They are so strict and try every way possible to kick you out of spots. Luckily nothing happened that night but there's been plenty of times where I got booted. Thanks for watching!

@Bronte866 Жыл бұрын

I don’t think Australia takes natural disasters more seriously than the US. I live in S FL. What you’re seeing is the fact that people in coastal FL are used to hurricanes and know how to navigate the situation very well. We know exactly when what part of the hurricane is hitting when. We know exactly what’s safe, how to safely gather supplies, where & when & how much time we have, No place on the planet deals with hurricanes more professionally and efficiently than Florida and the Gulf states. No place. Not anecdote or wishful thinking - we know this. This guy lives in FL. He knows what he’s doing. We are so adept at managing risk we have hurricane parties. It does no good to panic. I have lived through the worst hurricanes of the 20th & 21st century thus far. In this case here the hurricane is approaching, not hitting. It’s very common, in even in these conditions for people to go out to see what’s open or just have a look around. It’s not less safe than than the usual dangers on the road. Yet. 🇺🇸

Can’t imagine that level of wind. We drove through tornado alley in Kansas and drove through a system that produced two tornados. 50mph was the peak and we thought we were going to tip, totally stationary. We do have a high roof, massive con when you are caught off guard. Stay safe out there!

@@TaylorVanBeek I saw storm chasers do that in a documentary. The storm surge is the dangerous part, and you were parking by the boats 😨I was a bit concerned you were not on high enough ground. If you are intending to travel once your build is done, it might be worth having strategies for different disasters.

17:59 "I can't go much further" You meant to say I can't go much farther. Far denotes distance as in "farther from my destination" & fur denotes and so on as in "She droned on further about herself". I know you live in migrant rich Florida at the moment. We need to preserve the English language. I'm doing this not to call you out specifically but to preserve proper English. Fascinating & great content. I enjoyed it. Oh & if salespeople can't speak English properly...I hang up. If you can't speak properly, you likely can't do other things properly & I won't invest in shoddy service. You are either right or wrong. There is no half pregnant.
