Quite new to the channel. I had no idea I was interested in van conversion, bee keeping, mushroom foraging and all the other stuff you do, turns out I am haha! Love the range of things you do. Keep em coming and take care on your travels mate.

@just_alex Год назад

Thanks! :)

@andyelliott8027 Год назад

Don't forget most of these countries have wild animals such as bears which can be very dangerous, they can smell food from miles away. Be careful.

This was so enjoyable to watch Alex. It’s great to see you meet up with lovely local people, who have been both hospitable and taken you around to visit places and do things. The food looks so appetising, it has made me feel hungry lol Looking forward to watching more of your adventures. Travel safely 😁👍🏻

Another great video. And you got me fancying pancakes in the morning. I am from the Northwest of England and pancake recipe in my area is simple, one cup of flour, one cup of milk and one egg. Its quite a thick batter but makes nice thick fluffy pancakes.

@milessmadness7234 Год назад

Love seeing the adventures in your van especially when they involve mushrooms

@rgbartlett Год назад

If you want a halfway bike between road and mountain I can highly recommend a gravel bike, specifically a British made Sonder Camino from Alpkit. I love mine, it can go practically anywhere but it’s still good on road. If you want practical storage I’m not sure about baskets but they do loads of good bags (crossbar, stem, handlebar or stem mounted).

@samseeley1853 Год назад

Ok that’s a little uncanny… I think you found my doppelgänger with Phillip… Some amazing carp to be had out there, and even better women lololol! Stay safe on your travels and be lucky dude 🤙

Hey man, the combo between a MTB and a road bike is a GRAVEL BIKE! It has the frame of a road bike, but higher ground space, and wider tires

Easy way too measure pancakes is one egg, five heaped tablespoons of flour, milk and a bit of water… don’t put the oil in the pan, mix it into mix.. perfection 👍

@rabeHH Год назад

I would suggest you a set of foldable camping chairs, small ones without backrest, so that you can sit while eating. My stomach hurts to see you standing while eating, which is actually very unhealthy to do. Beside that, I like the way you improvise your life, away from people in the nature. Keep it going.

@doh4828 Год назад

@tudor_nechita5612 Год назад

I don't consider myself to be a bike person, but if you want a bike In between then you are looking for a hybrid bike, which is the one I have. Also loving the adventures and I want to say enjoy what is to come. Ps- Go to Romania, which is where I come from.

@brian1204 Год назад

Difficult to insulate a car/van effectively. A small heater might work; something that you can recharge while driving? Not sure what is available. Heaters use lots of electrical energy.

@IntoTheWhite04 Год назад

A lid (or plate)on your saucepan would use less gas and boil much quicker btw... Great video as always. Very jealous

@scottpearson8492 Год назад

Alex if you’re looking for a bike search for either a gravel bike or a hardtail of sort. Would recommend a 27.5” or 29” wheel size as they roll better

@LydiaSugarman Год назад

Get a gravel bike! It's perfectinly in between mountain and road and equipped to ride on gravel as well as other surfaces. It's sturdy!

@MartynsAnglingAdventures Год назад

Nice update video Alex! 👊🏻💪🏻👍🏻

@jcpt928 Год назад

Your back likely hurts because of your posture - from the video, it would seem you're too tall to sit up properly in your "work area"; so, you should probably try and lower your bed slightly when sitting at your "desk".

@thomasn8431 Год назад

You want a hybrid bike Alex which is between a road bike and a mountain bike, with front suspension for some comfort, just make sure you get the height of the seat right so you get maximum power from your legs

@satanicCPU97 Год назад

Look into gravel bikes, alex. They are pretty much the baby of a mountain bike and a road bike. just get one that has a decent, solid frame. anything else on a bike can be fixed but a frame cracking is game over.

@da-quan Год назад

Wow, you look like a giant in the video’s “photo thing.” Lol. Didn’t realize last time I watched.

@briankimpton588 Год назад

Alex to beat the cold get yourself one of the Avid electric sleeping bags the hook up to power pack or your inverter, used one in France in snow conditions was so warm every night was comfortable and you don't need to go to bed wearing ten layers which is always very uncomfortable, you will wake up feeling much better and ready for the day. Love the content keep living and chasing your dreams for as long as you can the rat race is seriously over rated

@chrismoose64 Год назад

Who needs scales indeed. I do the ingredients in the same quantity. Crack two eggs into a cup and 'mark' the level. Flour then milk to the same level...et voila.

@wardy876 Год назад

Yo, before grabbing a bike you should try hiring a mountain bike with someone and see if you like it. If it's for you new hobby if not you could just grab a road orientated one 🤙, great video!
