Cooking Baked Alaska...While Camping in Alaska 

Dude, I am a professional chef and let me just say, I am totally impressed by you making a meringue with a fork. It's not easy even with a whisk. Kudos to you my friend. 👏🏻

I'm not sure which was harder...the drive down the alaskan highway or making meringue with a fork😀

Kudos for whipping the egg whites by hand with a FORK, and not giving up! You are a determined(stubborn?) young man! Thanks for the entertainment 🥰

I love how he says hit it with a little garlic powder and then makes it rain garlic 😂😂

I literally laughed out loud at hand whipping meringue! Impressive 😂

Omg you made a meringue and you did it by hand whipping with a fork!!!!! Super impressive. I actually rarely use my stand mixer for whipping meringues (I make macarons, lemon and key lime meringue pies plus baked Alaska). I just use little hand blender on high, works fabulously and fast. All that just to say… super impressive determination and arm strength!! Your final product looks delicious!! Well done Ryan!! Happily awaiting your next video!

You hand beating the meringue was freakin hilarious! I laughed so hard 😂That's dedication wow 👍👌

Ryan I laughed so hard when you were whipping the merengue🤣 You were struggling but you did it! The Baked Alaska looked AMAZING! I hope your arm isn’t too sore for too long. Great video!😂😂

Couple things Ryan - did you manage to wash off the undercarriage of the van? Pretty important. And the second thing is - have you looked at the Ferry system? You can pull your van onto a Ferry and ride it the whole way down to the mainland US. Camp on the Ferry deck or get a room for like 500 bucks. Might be an option for you.

“If you ever want to make a dish look fancy, throw some green stuff on it. “ 🤣🤣luv you

Pedro Pascal out there camping in his Van sheesh.

Wow that was impressive. Earlier this morning I watched the dip into the freezing waters (albeit Summer Seasoned) of the Northern Sea of Alaska. I thought nothing would top that experience, wrong, watching you pumping the arm muscle for 30+ minutes to make peaked meringues for Baked Alaska. Endurance. Rewarding. Stay Safe. Thank you Ryan.

OMG! my arm hurts just watching you whisk eggs for almost an hour. Ryan, you were determined to have that baked Alaska for dessert.

I'm with everyone else who is saying do the ferry! I worked in Bellingham for a few months and actually checked it out, just curious about it. You could stay in your van while sailing home. People even camp in tents. I was always so interested in doing that myself, I'd love to see how it goes for you if you did it. That alone would be an interesting experience. Those potatoes looked bomb! No need for a stand mixer, just go to walmart and get a $12 hand mixer. Your baked Alaska was beautiful!

Get a small cheap hand drill and a small whisk. You can put the whisk into the drill and tighten it down. No need for an oversized, bulky, and expensive stand mixer when you have very limited storage.

Mud inside the rims may be the cause of the slight imbalance/wobble of the front tires since they're your drive wheels as well... Turn hard right or left and take a peek since you didn't mention that you did an undercarriage wash on that van, which is highly recommended to wash off all that dried mud on the drive line as well

the meringue with a fork segment is possibly your most impressive feat yet

Your cv shafts can have mud built up or the back side of your front wheels could have mud built up that causes shaking. Its a common issue with people who go off-road. Before leaving off-road parks, i used to go through a 1-2’ creek to wet any mud on there. I’d then immediately jump on the highway and hit 70 so things could fling off. You’ll hear stuff hit the plastic fender liners.

The shaking from your steering wheel is probably from mud being in the tire well. I had the same problem with my car and had to take the tires off and clean the inside of the rims/ tire well. It fixed it.

Oh wow, can’t believe the hand whisking worked out! You can put the egg mixture in a Tupperware type container and shake, shake, shake!

Thank you for taking us on your adventure, it feels like we have traveled with you, wishing you safe travels home. That baked Alaska looked yummy 😋

I think the problem with your shake is that when you wash your vehicle you didn’t get in the wheels them selves. In behind where they usually shim mud cakes up it will cause your wheel to go off balance, which will make your tire wobble and make you feel like somethings wrong.

Congratulations on your outstanding meringue accomplishment using just a fork! Your resourcefulness and dedication to culinary excellence are truly inspiring. Well done!

Wow, you are a trooper.,. I have never beaten meringue by hand. There are mini electric mixers, that can fit a kitchen drawer, for the next time you want some baked Alaska. It looked really good.😋😋 You should do a cookbook.

Watching Ryan deal with these aggressive Alaskan mosquitoes have been entertaining 😅

The shaking in your steering wheel is probably the balance on your tires. Either you knocked a weight off or you have mud packed in your wheels. Easy fix!

All I can say is make sure you take advantage of being out in Alaska!! It’s the most beautiful state in the USA with amazing wildlife and nature so since you’re out there mind as well see and do all you possibly can 🙏🏾 sending you love from the Antelope Valley back where you came I to see the poppies with the rest of the tourists who step on the flowers🤝🏾

Great job on the Baked Alaskan!

Take a cordless drill and attach the main fork part to it and use that to whisk the egg's with it. Real easy that way.

Nothing better than waking up to a new Twomey video 📹 You are the most determined guy, keep pushing Ryan!

Hey Ryan, I'm a mechanic in SoCal, if you want someone to look over the van after this excursion (that I've been following for awhile now) and happen to be going through SoCal again, let me know!

I drove up to Anchorage in 2005 from Seattle . What a beautiful amazing drive but I wouldn’t do it again. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us ! Damn that’s a crazy amount of gas !!! Be safe Ryan and I hope you can get a nice long break for awhile before your next adventures! Take care from Las Vegas

Thanks Ryan, I’ve enjoyed your traveling. Glad you made it there in Canada and on your way back now.

Ever considered taking the Alaska Marine Highway down to the Lower 48? That would be something different and avoid much of the tedious drive.

It felt great to see you give your van a good cleaning🤌

Glad you made it back to Fairbanks without any problems! I made your dinner from your last video and oh my was it good! I even have enough left over for dinner tonight. One further suggestion for you and getting home is to take the Alaska State Ferry from Haines down to either Prince Rupert or Bellingham. But at some point, if you have not already done this, you need to wash underneath your van. It is one thing to have a mechanic check it out for any hidden damage as well as realign your tires, but you need to clean all the dirt stuck underneath because if you don't, over time, you will start finding rust spots and I can say that for a fact as I kicked out the front floor board of my car after moving to Seattle! Have fun on the rest of your trip and I look forward to your next video! Take care!

I haven't laughed so hard. You are awesome. Thanks for the laugh. Can't wait for the next video.

You are hilarious, I love the descriptions you add to the narrative!

I must say I really enjoyed your van washing scene. It was cut together perfectly with the music and I think maybe a lot of work went into that short segment. That was absolutely fun.

For your next series you should drive through every state would be very fun to see Love the vids

You should get a LSD (Limited Slip Differential) installed on your van if you plan to keep it 2WD. So at least if one of your rear wheel have traction, you can get out of the situation and not get stuck.

Easier to do if you whip the whites first,then gradually add sugar. Congrats on your trip!

Always great day when Ryan uploades videos. You have become 8hr daily routine to have videos playing in the background while driving for work. Great vides and great times. #motto

The things you do for your channel.! Love the beating of the egg whites!

Congratulations on making it back. And entertaining us in the process. Not a small thing.

Ryan👑... the most patient whisk-er in the world!😅

Ryan, thanks for the laughs! You had us rolling with all your commentary and facial expressions during the meringue scenes.

Oh man you shouldn’t have added the sugar until you had some structure in those egg whites. However thank you my dude for making this amazing content. Can’t wait to join you on your next adventures

Love your videos and recipes I don’t have time for these people that eat lettuce leaves from a bag🤣🤣🤣🤣

❣️😂 the best meringue making EvEr!! Awesome looking potatoes and fish! Good to see you made the scary trek back safely!!

I found your channel a few days ago, and it is great to binge watch the adventures!

I love this channel! Ryan is AWESOME! Best channel ever. 😂

We need video reels of you cleaning the van. Gives off cool vibes

Hi Ryan....If no one else has mentioned this already, you should have added the sugar slowly once the peaks started to form. It probably took this long because you added all the sugar at the start. Well, at least you burned off some calories for a well-deserved treat!!

Clean the underside especially the inside wheels and the area around the brakes and wheel bearings. The mud screwed un my front bearings when I drove the Dempster. I saw the rim after the pulled the tire off and there must have been 20lbs of mud but it turns to cement when dried

Take the inner coastal ferry from Anchorage will take you to Bellingham, Wa. With your van nice dining room .

Ryan, you have to wash the underneath of your van too. I would say it's the most important part to wash from those chemicals for the dirt rodes. I come from a place where we use this products since 100 years ago. Believe me! You need to wash the axises, the fuel tank, the orings, the exhaust, and everything underneath really.

i agree wholeheartedly - throwing green stuff on a dish = gucci livin

My mom made baked alaska when I was a kid! We had sliced pineapple on it. She actually baked it in the oven! Good memories ❤

So happy for your new video. Yummy dinner! I love the meals you are able to create in your van. Amazing!

I’m thinking about buying a van or bus and living in it for a while. Been watching your videos and they have given me a great idea of what it is like to live in one. Love your content!

We have enjoyed watching your amazing adventure Ryan. Thanks for sharing!

Ryan's comments while mixing had me cracking up LOL

I too am VERY impressed by the fork meringue!!

Those potatoes are called home fries. It's a normal thing to have with breakfast. A lot of people in the country have it that way. I had it a lot growing up. Bacon and eggs and toast and home fries.

I make my spuds like that only I put them in the oven...love baked alaska favorite dessert yum 💕✨

Ryan, when you get back to the lower 48, find a Blue Beacon Truck wash. They will get them chemicals off your van. They even offer a under carriage wash. Enjoy your channel and the drive up to Alaska.

If I remember correctly, you carry some power tools in your rig. You can use the drill, and manipulate a fork, or spoon in it to whip up the topping next time. I really enjoy your vlogs, and hope for Safe travels Ryan!

Bravo 👏🏾 the determination to whip that by hand lol bravo 👏🏾

Dude! The meringue beat was hilarious! Well done sir!

So funny! Washing the van. 😂 Kudos on the meringue.

I love your vids. You make me want to start van life.❤😂😊

That's HILARIOUS.......you know most people just don't understand just how dangerous Alaskan roads can be.......its remote, its the weather, its the animals......its a lot! It will show you what your made of thats for sure...........LOL your butt was PUCKERED thehehe

Ryan I have so enjoyed making this trip you. I can’t say how much fun I have every time you put out another video. Again I will continue following you on every trip we make together Thanks ma

Sir my wife and I love watching all your videos. In watching them I've found certain things that are bothering me. 😂 I recently got a foam gun for my pressure cleaner and so want to clean your van. Door jams and all. Oh, and also that exhaust fan! The food dishes you but together are inspiring. I also see that you come across so many places to fish. Not to eat but for fun. Good luck in your next journey and may God watch over you in your travels.

Bro you are the man!!! What a video 😂

Kudos on the hand beat meringue for two hours! That was epic! looked amazing.

Wow good job....yeah i would invest in a handmixer for future recipies! My hubby and I love watching your videos.

Hey Ryan, greetings from Germany, love your vids. Wish you a safe trip back home 😊

Just before potatoes are done add slices of onion a little bit of water to steam (delicious)

The fish looked amazing. Fuiyoh!!

Chain's on your rear tires, will surprise you. If you ever needed them, they could save you a tow bill.

Wow! You’ll have so many fantastic memories. Thanks for bringing us along. I always waited in anticipation to see your next video because you do such a great job of it. You’re a “one man” studio. Happy travels 😎

That baked Alaska looked like fire. Yesssszzz!!!

You should get a drill and then get a mixer whatever the attached to it and plug it in and there’s your mixer

A compact cake mixer would get the job done in a couple minutes. Cheap alternative to a stand mixer for the van

Wow I give u all the credit!! whipping egg whites by hand ..amazing nice job !!

I was dancing right along with you washing that van!!!

You are a fantastic dude bro Love watching your adventures Fan here from Bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just a heads up using a non-standard rug on the driver side is quite dangerous. There is a reason why they make the hooks to hook them in place. If the rug get stuck under the brake or above the accelerator would not be fun.

It's time to start a new quest! I'm excited to see what new adventures await you! 👍🏽💯

Man, you are a champ doing the meringue by hand dude, you need a $10 hand mixer for real. You are something else, that's so hard.

Best video yet, next to your fishing video in FL, it's beautiful there.

thanks for the vids bro its been helping me thru a ruff time keep it up am here every vid

YES HES BACK

Lmao do you have a Amazon wishlist ? Me and my wife want to get you a mixer 😂😂

Meringue without a whisk 🤣🤣🤣

I'm impressed. You did a great job. Wonder if it would be any better using two forks at once, maybe back to back.

Ok …next venture. Cooking show! Everything looks so yummy

Southern Alaska has some of the best waterfalls. Maybe you can check out a few in your travels. 👍
