I Got Sick While Winter Truck Camping 

Hey Mav, I’m a younger man who’s family just moved from Alaska to Florida. Alaska was my home and I miss it and my friends and family up there more than anything. In a couple years when I move out, you’ve inspired me to get a truck and drive back up, camping along the way. I also plan on hitting up fishing spots all the way up. I just wanted to say thank you Mav, and I love your videos! Keep shredding!

Mav, it would be cool if you showed us the recipe in the description. Sorry if this has been suggested before, but I'd definitely like to try and make some of these on my own as well. Thanks again for the awesome content.

I’m currently in a depressive episode and I’ve been binge watching your videos for a couple days now, even watching the same ones for the 4th or 5th time lol you’re really helping lift my spirits up. I appreciate you.

You guys are the boss together having fun and pushing through. That's very rough sleeping conditions when you don't feel good. I'll shake your hand for cooking in the miserable weather ! great job!!!

Mav you should consider putting some insulation in your enclosed trailer. With even just a couple army cots and a Chinese diesel heater life would be so much better on these fishing trips.

You have to try loaded baked potatoes. #1 get a big potato. #2 rap in tin foil as a whole potato without cutting it up. #3 put it over fire or oven till you think it’s done then cut it in half but not all the way three and add butter and green onions, bacon bits, cheese, sour cream, and injoy!!!! Please try it Mav!!!!!!

I have to give you credit for pushing through bud as I know what its like to live in a vehicle and when you get sick its probably next to the worst feeling getting up in the morning... Take care of your health bud its all you have to keep going.

All of your meals look amazing, especially the ones that warm you up in this cold weather. Nothing like a good filling meal to warm up your insides 🥰 if you ever run out of ideas on things to make, I suggest my homemade cheddar broccoli soup 😋 its good and hearty and I think you'd love it ❤ Thanks for all the great videos, keep on truckin Mav 🙌 What you need: Onion Garlic Flour Salt & Pepper Mustard powder/mustard Paprika Half & half Butter Veggie Broth Broccoli Carrots Cheddar Garlic bread/bread bowls In a skillet add 1-2 tbsp butter let melt, dice half an onion (or more depending on how much you like), dice 2 cloves garlic (2 tbsp minced garlic), add onion to melted butter and let cook for a few minutes or until soft, add minced garlic later so it won't burn, continously moving around. Once that becomes fragrant and softened, heat off and set it to the side. In a pot or Dutch oven add about half a stick of butter (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) add flour until it becomes a paste mixture on medium/low heat. Stir until all the flour is gone and butter has soaked up. Should be a paste texture or school glue texture 😊 Next add 2 cups of veggie broth and stir stir stir combining your paste mixture. Next add 2 cups of half & half, salt & pepper, mustard powder (1 tbsp yellow mustard), paprika. Stir stir stir and bring to a simmer. Cut up broccoli (as much as you want) into bite size pieces (think about scooping them up with a spoon when its time to eat) slice carrots (as much as you want, I added carrots for color and more veggies of course) once your simmering add your broccoli, carrots and onions and let it simmer or until your veggies are soft. Continue to stir occasionally because it will thicken up as your veggies cook. Once your veggies are cooked, add your cheese. Grated sharp cheddar or mild cheddar. I suggest bread bowls or garlic bread 😋 Enjoy! Have a wonderful day Your friend Shannon from Illinois ✌

It’s something about the sounds in all of your videos, they’re soooooo therapeutic. The sound of the wind, the truck etc. All of your videos give off such a positive vibe, love it.

No doubt about the Trout, great fishing vids. Be sure to check out any booths that are from Sioux Lookout at the sports show. I am proud of you Mav, no one said it would be easy, from a guy up in Canada working at a desk all week you are living the dream of so many of us, I think that is the main reason millions are following. Always remember why you started this, I believe in you bud keep on trucking!

Appreciate your videos more than ever right now. Just completely blew my ACL yesterday snowboarding and its nice to be able to watch this and be cheered up. Thanks brotha.

Mav! You have a heart of gold for wild life! I noticed that when the first catch was done! You were concerned for the safety of the fish, tail freezing! I rewinded and noticed that! Not in a million years would I have known that till you pointed it out Mav! Kudos to you Bud!!

Your new content with Murray is hilarious. I know having a travel partner helps alot. I stayed in my car camper on the road for sometime, and the boredom leads to alot of other problems like being uncomfortable. Keep up the good work dude, I've been watching the channel for a long time and you were a huge motivation for me to travel, I loved it but definitely don't wanna do it full time. Keep up the great work and keep on trucking.

Mav, a really easy roadmeal is a family favorite we call Cinda Surprise. My oldest sister created it at age 13. All we had in the house was 1/2 pound of bacon, instant rice and a can of green beans. You just cut up and cook the bacon and rice, heat everything through with bacon fat for seasoning and enjoy. Cinda went on to become a chef. I still enjoy this regularly although sometimes I jazz it up, add more veg or create it as a fried rice style dish. Hope you're feeling better.

Montana…my favorite state! I’m from Oregon and for about 7 or 8 years I’d road trip to western/central Montana every September camping in my 2006 Toyota Matrix. Those were probably the best times of my life! If you ever get the chance you gotta make your way to the central and western part of the state in the summer or fall…your mind will be blown by the insane beauty of that state. Lakes, rivers, mountains, and wildlife are everywhere! Love to you and Murray💞 Keep on truckin….

I completely admire what you do. I'm 40 no wife or girlfriend or kids. Was married in the past but I live alone. At the same time I find the best peace at my camper on a 400 acre piece of land that is leased. I went down last weekend and spent the night and I was completely alone. Normally when I go there I'm the only person within a couple miles and like you've said before it is the the most rejuvenation I can find. I normally cook a nice steak or pork chops or chicken on the grill and just put on some music with all the lights out and chill in my rocking chair on the porch of my camper and it really seems to slow my mind down. I hiked about mile back in the woods this past weekend to a amazing rock waterfall and spent a few hours there just reflecting. Many don't get it but when you can get along with yourself for a couple days and talk to yourself about life and everything it comes with it makes a world of difference

Mav, you and Murray totally make me laugh! Your friendship is special! And the size of those, holy smokes!!!

Hey Mav, fellow RU-vidr here. You're videos inspired me to trade in my Tesla for a Ram Rebel last year. Turned it into an overland truck - wheels and tires, bed rack and of course a RTT. Done a couple trips so far and loving it. The challenges that come with it creates great memories and in the end, that's what it's all about. Thanks for igniting that spark!

Buddy got the RONA I hope you feel better Mav, thank you for finishing the video and being so positive.Cheers

I do a lot of the same things you and Murray do. Constantly fishing, camping and traveling etc.. Anyhoo, I just got over the Covid and the lazy affects hung with me for about 3 weeks. I didn’t ice fish for two weeks because of it, when I normally fish 3-4 days a week. If you indeed have covid, hang in there, things will get better. Tight lines, fellas!

Hey there Sir. I just want to add a little encouragement from a viewers POV. I have just spent the last two weeks with my best friends' life, here on earth. My best friend being my dad. This by far has been the hardest experience of my life. None the less I have tried to break up my reality of life here on earth without my father and planning his funeral/ memorial, by watching your latest excursion. I can't express how your vlogs take me to a whole other place, make me laugh, engage my brain to another world, and just all around lift my spirits. You are an amazing human with such a talent. Please take time to realize what you do for so many people, but also take time for you. If your not happy, it's ok. Life isn't always amazing if you're living. Just make sure you give yourself a break and realize what a blessing you are. All the way from Kansas, hello.

No drugs, no alcohol, just 100% pure freedom and adventure. It's why this 55 year old guy is a subscriber, Mav. Keep doing what you're doing. ✌️

It's always good to know your limitations on the road, especially when you feel like you are getting sick!

Hope you're feeling better Mav. Also shout-out to Murray for being the coolest and most chill guy to hang out with 😁

Love the positive energy and the good vibes I get from you two! Keep truckin!😎

This video intro is getting me a little hype for winter lol. I like cold weather and the cozy coats and hats just make me sooooo excited lol.

Hope you and Murray are feeling better by now. Glad you made the good choice to get a hotel, warm room, bed and rest are what the doctor would order.

I talk on the phone all day. Talk to a lot of people from MN and always tell them to check your channel out!!! ❤️

Oh man, being out there on the ice feeling sick must have been brutal. You toughed that out like a real trooper! Impressive, my friend

I grew up in the country, loved it, all the amazing places I would explore, after college, I moved to the city, worked hard, bought myself a house, saved, but I’ve always felt out of place here, watching your videos just makes me wanna pack up and move home, I’m only 27, I feel like going on a adventure, thanks for giving me this nostalgic feeling, love the vids buddy, cheers

Hey Mav, so glad you liked the Tater Ash! I can’t believe you made my recipe suggestion! It tastes even better the next day. As it thickens. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

I'm glad you all went and got a hotel because you weren't feeling good. 👍 sorry you weren't feeling good. But I'm glad you went and got someplace more comfortable to stay.

Don’t get me wrong, you are one of my favorite RU-vidrs… but who goes fishing, catches great trout, but then eats stew! Enjoy what nature blessed you with!

Really like this video. Everything is not peas and carrots all the time. It’s how U handle stressful situations what shows ur true character… where’s always happy when everything goes right. Let it go sideways and see how u handle it.

Hey, Mav! Welcome to Montana! Sorry to hear you're sick. I hope you don't have COVID. Early back pain is a weird side effect I have heard about. Hope y'all had a good time fishing!

Absolutely my favorite friendship ever.

Well Mav, I do hope you are feeling much better since you guys recorded this video. Nothin like bein sick to ruin a fun trip with a friend. Those were some huge fish you guys were catching there. Tyfs God bless you

Every now and then you just find one of those channels ya know? God such a homey feel. Love every second of it

Thanks for introducing me to Murray. Recently just started watching a bunch of his videos, and you guys together is great 👌

I love MAV and Murray's friendship pure and Genteele 😂❤👍

Mav the Real OG Scout, cooks dinner outside while his buddy hiding in a sleeping bag inside the running truck.. lol what a nice guy!

I have a good camping recipe you might enjoy it's chicken, broccoli, and potatoes. You cook the chicken to your likening and then add some potatoes and broccoli into a pot of chicken broth add salt, black pepper and a pinch of paprika then boil until the potatoes are soft then kill the heat and let it cool down and enjoy. It's simple easy and good I make it every time I go camping

I’ve started living in my van this year and got a lot of inspiration from your videos. Not really sure what I’m doing but Thanks Mav and keep on truckin’

I was so surprised to hear you were in Montana. My 2 daughters and their husbands live there. One in Kalispell is a teacher..the other in Missoula is a Nurse. They love the snow. Not me! I'm in Delaware (they left for College & stayed there). Beautiful state though...I always make ground beef. Rice. Gravy..onions & peppers as a quick meal. Delicious..even add some corn, peas, or green beans if you have them.

Mavrik you are so loved dude! Be super duper careful. A world without Mavrik will be a sadder place! That thinner ice makes me real nervous watching you, I have to remind myself that I'm watching you so you must have made it back safe lol. Get some Oil of Oregano (Hellas) and take 4 drops a day IN something to kill off any leftover from a cold or not feeling well. Be well, see you There or in the air!!! 👍👍👍

Hope you feel better. Few days ago some illness swept thru our house. It was horrible. Better now. Hope u are too!

How cool that your in fort Peck! A few years ago I went on a voluntary trip called love has no color. We visited a few schools in the area brought food and gift for all the kids. We even went to a juvenile center and adult jail. It was an incredible experience that was so eye opening, another reminder to always be greatful for the most simple things, like food or water. I would one day like to go back!

Smart move, If you're not feeling it then don't do it. I've gotten sick on vacation or out playing and figure it's no big. Rest up man.

I did a solo camping trip last weekend and it gave me a whole new level of respect for Mav! I had a lot of fun but it was interesting to be so alone and quite lol

I love Mav and Murray’s friendship and banter. I’m old compared to these guys, but can’t help thinking of Kevin and Perry seeing them together jigging to music. 😎

By the time this airs I hope you're feeling better ! That looked a bit scary where that ice was kind of thin. It looks like you managed to have a good time anyway.

Composer 24/7 is right to achieve… ur living the dream buddy. Truck right on

The dynamic duo is back again! Love the vids man, looks chillyyy

Take care, Mav 🤗. Don't like seeing you sick.

I hope you both feel better soon, Mav. Enjoyed the lake trout trip, missed seeing you cook it up, good luck with your Meet & Greet, and get better soon ~ both of you!

Oh man. It looked fun at first, but rough in the end. The hotel was a good choice. Love the videos!!

I hope you’re feeling better since your trip. I do so enjoy watching your videos. I look forward to each one and live vicariously through them 🙂🙃

Love your lil buddy Murray... waving the lighter to the tune. :) I am blessed to be a 12 stepper and to hear men share their vulnerability often. You express yourself in the same honest, real manner. Thank you Mav for giving young men permission to feel fear and push through it. You know the drill...keep on ice fishin!

Excited to see you at the Sports Show! It was also really cool to see you last week with the Hiace out on the road, even if it was at a gas station for a couple of minutes. Hope the camping during the snow storm treated you well!

It's really nice seeing you not be alone all the time and having fun with Murray. Love the vids homie, keep it up and keep on trucking

Love your videos! You and Murray are a hoot. They give me very-much needed entertainment (depressed). Thank you for that. Hope you feel better. You may want to keep a kidney infection or UTI in mind (yes, men get them too) since you said you felt hot and cold through the night and not feeling up to par, and your back hurt. I had sepsis in 2000 from one and felt like you did, never suspecting anything that serious. Food for thought. Keep up the great work and feel better. :)

I like Murray, he's great. Got a reight good sense of humour.

Mav just coming out with banger video after banger video !! Getting so close to 2 mil !! Keep it going man your doing so awesome but also take care of your health when needed too. Without you their is no videos

Ha! I love how we saw Murray’s video first and now this is the other side of it. Love these two together! ❤️

You are noticeably happier with Murray with you. I hope you can make it work for more videos together.

The thing I like about this channel it's not like those other Van life channels where they're it's all glamorous and everything to awesome it shows what it's really like

I want to ride a snowmobile. It looks really fun.😆

I live in my 2004 Chevy Tahoe & travel around It's definitely an interesting life style but I don't mind it. I love the Freedom of it.

Watching your videos, I’m looking forward camping on the road during spring and summer this year for the first time! I’m excited

I love watching you and Murray. He is such a cutie pie.

Not gonna lie been goin thru a lot of panic attacks recently and it’s all new to me, Mav I can say is so relaxing to sit down watch and enjoy 🤚🏼❤️

I hope you feel better soon Mav.

You really need to do more videos with that little Feller with you he is hilarious

Murry gets funner and funner each time. Glad you have him for company. Hope you are feeling better. Can't wait for the sport expo. You will have a line two miles long.

Please take care, MAV, you and Murdog have become a national treasure couple. Good luck at your meet and greet.

Mav is such a Dad sometimes. "Dad, it's so cold!" "Have you ever been without pants in -2?"

Great fishing guys! Hope you feel better soon Mav!

Big ups for camping in cold 🤘🏾sometimes u got to know when to take it inside

Love both of you young men! Have a great adventure ! And wow ! What a nice fish that was Murray !!! ❤️

Hope you feel better, keep on trukin

Both me and my wife's first symptom of covid was back pain. Hope that's not the case for you. Love the videos and most importantly feel better soon.

Don't blame you one bit for getting the room. Feel better soon!

The idea of falling through some ice into a freezing lake has always completely terrified me. Luckily I live in Texas lol

Y'all are fun.. gonna have to go ice fishing soon.. y'all got me goin pretty good

This man has given me a goal in life. Love you Mav

Love your stove can you say make model? That big trout was AWESOME and even more awesome you sent her back to make more little lake trouts! Love your channel dude and my 12 y/o son lives to fish so he’s loving it too!

When he grabs your face to go back through inside is pure comedy like you guys are Big and Little brother 😂 keep up the good work Mav

Met Mav and family at the sportsman show in Duluth. He and his family are the nicest family you’d ever meet. Everyone go down and say hi! Keep on truckin!

I've definitely had to learn some of these the hard way traveling around in my truck and having a dog makes for a whole new set of challenges! Love the videos!

Thanks for posting and sharing. I hope your meet and greet goes well. Nice to see both you guy’s’ fish. Hope you’re fully recovered by the weekend.

Genuinely makes me feel better knowing you carry a gun with you. Be safe out there Mav people are something else now a days

Keep on truckin MAV. Truck camping is fun for sure. But there is something to be said for a hot shower and a warm bed. Love your vids!

Hi Mav, i am a fan of you and your adventures !!! keep doing videos like this. I really enjoy watching it. A huge hug from Argentina !

Hope you are feeling better, Mav!

Hey! Just a suggestion for your sore back, coupled with the runny nose and shivering, might be a good idea to get tested for covid. Take care mav!

Hope you're feeling better, Mav. Those were some mighty fine trout y'all bagged this video

Great vid Mav & Murray awesome team!!! Hope you get better, Mav!! GBY both.

Mav you’re the man homie. I’m from chicago I hope to do this one day. Thanks for your vids bro

Hopefully you feel better Mav 👍🙏 🥰 and keep on trucking 😘

Mav, Murry is such a cool dude. You guys had a great time and Murry got soooo excited with that huge lake trout! Glad you got a hotel for the night. I got sick on a ski trip and I skied sick and I was sooooo bummed but you didn't bale on Murry and that's just sooo cool. Good role model for him and all of us dude! Great content. Keep on truckin' dude!☺️
