Surviving Hurricane Ian in my Camper Van 

That makes sense! Definitely won't make that mistake again!

Lol this is the reason why food delivery services are booming 🤣

now i know why mom is angry, thanks !

Lol I came to see did someone tell him this lol

100 % ^

Definitely learned my lesson there haha glad you made it through too man!

Oh Lola loved the breakfast! That's for sure!

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!

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. 🇺🇸

The wind was crazy! I've driven through tornado alley myself and this by far topped driving through there!

Thank you! And yes just 30 minutes south of me got slammed by the hurricane way worse. Tons of flooding

I never even thought about that. I know my van is to tall to go into a normal parking garage, but If I could find one with higher ceilings, that would be perfect!

@@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.

@@christinamann3640 Yeah that's why I ended up moving from where the boats were at! I stayed a little more inland the second night. The first night at the beach, the storm hadn't hit yet. Just the wind!

Yup, I've learned quite a bit now that I started cooking more haha I'm still a terrible cook though.

Thanks!

For real, that would’ve been the perfect solution instead of on the freaking beach I just don’t get these young kids nowadays

Haha you live and you learn. I'll tell you, my cooking skills have definitely gotten better since this video haha

I appreciate the kind words! Mav's my inspiration!

Thank you!

Thanks for your support!

I appreciate it brother! Did you guys get hit hard being in Orlando?

@@TaylorVanBeek Yes, actually the worst it's ever been here in Orlando with flooding. Lots of high winds and over a month of rain in 12 hrs. Sucks south Florida got hit so hard My buddies house in Ft Myers was floating down the road. God bless them all affected..

@@peterinfante6187 Man that sucks! Prayers out to you and everyone else affected

Yeah Florida pretty regularly sees hurricanes!

Figured that one out pretty quick haha I'm not a very good cook at all. But I'm learning 😎

I definitely learned from that one! Haha thanks for watching!

Definitely my plan moving forward!

Niceeee! Vans are the best way to travel for sure!

Thank you! Managed to miss the worse parts of the storm!

Thank you!

I was in Jacksonville Beach!

Thanks for subbing!

It's a Camp Chef Deluxe Portable oven!

Because I'm illiterate when it comes to cooking haha I have since learned now!

Yeah I am very illiterate when it comes to cooking... I'm slowly learning haha

I have not but that's next on the list for sure!

Camp Chef!

I thought about it but I couldn't find a parking garage that I could fit in with my rooftop fan! It's to tall by a few inches at most parking garages!

It's a GMC Savana 3500

Yeahhh I figured that out real quick! Haha I won't make that mistake again!

Camp chef!

Thank you!

Hello 👋

A couple of the beach scenes are in Jax Beach but most of it is Merritt Island area!

@@TaylorVanBeek I’d love to find some spots on A1A.. been looking, but they’ve put up the no overnight signs where I’ve looked…

she is most certainly not underweight and not being neglected. She goes to the vet regularly and eats plenty of food.

At the moment, It's in Jacksonville, FL!

Indeed 😎

I did sell the F-350! The truck was too big for me to just daily drive and was horrible on fuel! Not to mention that the price of diesel sucks right now 😰 So I switched to the van! So much easier for me and the pup to camp out of! And I appreciate it brother!
