Turning a truckstop into a luxury resort | VANLIFE VLOG_02 

Ryan is less awkward and he actually makes a way to connect by talking to the camera like we are with him.

Nice vid has normal. A couple of quick tips from an old chef here in Sweden (I''m British, but live here). When you start to see the blood from the steak on top of the meat. Thats when you start to think about turning it over. This of cause depends on how you like your steak. If you place a damp cloth / paper towel (or what ever you call them in the US). Even damp toilet paper the size of the cutting board will work. Place that UNDER the cutting board and it will stop the board from moving around while you cut things on it. If you find that while you are hitting the garlic (you're hitting it the right way so you know) and it is moving around a bit more than you like. Add a little salt onto the cutting board, and then hit it. This helps it from moving while you hit the hell out of it. And the salt is going into the pan anyway. After you have cooked your steak. All of that goodness in the pan is what you use for the sauce. Add a little wine (red or white) and cook the alcohol out, then add a little cream and some seasoning to taste, and just like the rat in the Ratatouille film. You have your steak sauce. Enjoy! And thanx for this vid..!

Looks more like a rest stop than a truck stop. Truck stop usually at loves, pilot, and TA.

Your van build is so unique from all the others I’ve seen man. Love the modern look. Been bingeing your videos bro! Keep ‘em coming!

So classic, meat and potatoes, great video! A cooking tip for Wagu, since it has a higher fat content than rump or fillet, you actually don't need oil (chef's never cook steak with oil). Heat your pan super-hot with nothing in it, then cook both sides of Wagu before adding butter and garlic, baste the steak with a spoon (a grill pan is much better for steak), you will render the fat better cooking it in this way and make it tastier.

Rest Area is what I had always call those stop areas. Truck Stop is more of a fuel, food and shower spot. Like your videos , thanks for sharing.

I fell in love with van videos a few years ago, these videos show that it is possible... despite the close mindedness of " well meaning " people. I am looking to build a van in a year, downsizing on possessions and keeping what matters most. I fully intend to live full time and I'm constantly thinking of plans a, b, c, and d of what I need in situations such as boon docking , campsites, etc, etc. Conventional life, white picket fence thing never appealed to me...this does. I lived in a car before and I had less problems and dramatic situations... regular living there was more. These videos are inspiring.

That's not a truckstop. That is a State of Texas rest area. I stop at them all the time for the clean restrooms, and sometimes take a nap in the parking lot. I've always wondered about overnight parking/camping there.

This channel will eventually blow up just keep being consistent. I also love that you are a gamer.

Bro. Been a fan from tiktok and I honestly told myself that your video is a sign from God that I should be building my own van for travel. Not for content but for my own contentment. That has been my goal eversince. Great episode man. The progress and the walk through are extremely similar to Mav’s latest video tho. I know you can do better man. Supporting you all throughout your journey that’s for sure!

You are a genius of making your van into a home and gaming set

I love this guy the real definition of living life normally I watch his videos on a bad day

2:25 bruh caught me off guard with that😂😂💀

I am planning on building out a van hopefully in the next 6-8 months and I would love information on your ceiling it’s amazing

I'm a new subscriber and nothing with the way you live at all. Your free and no rent, extra bills, you have everything you need and don't take anything cor granted.. this aint my business and i hope you are armed out there or atleast protected out there, sorry to ask.. stay blessed brotha and thanks for sharing your journey

much respect for returning the cart

One thing about cooking wagyu is that you don't need to put oil because the wagyu fat melts at room temperature, when you put it in a hot pan it will already render out enough fat to cook it. Anyway looks good hehe :D

Why on earth didn’t you install a roof AC? You have plenty of room for a huge Solar array on that roof too🙈 Plus that portable thing takes up valuable space!

You have awesome content! You might feel alone but you are taking thousands along on your adventures! Sorry for all the delayed responses but we're all watching! Maybe do a few live sessions! A sesh here and there might help you to realize that you are not as alone as you thought!

Amazing how far technology has come since you were in middle school? When I was in middle school if you picked up the phone to call a friend you might have had to wait till your neighbor is was done. A party line. Shared phone line with neighbors. That was when kids went outside to play. My first video game was Pong.

One of the best city stealth camps I've seen. Thanks for posting.

Air fryer will save you so much timeeee!

The 2:24 scream got me crying laughing

if you buy the garlic in the jar its much easier and you can avoid the garlic fingers. nothing like picking your nose with garlic fingers.

Hi Ryan, love your van build. I was curious as to what is your method of receiving a stable internet connection?

Man thats ah nice setup ill give it a top 10.

Pls keep giving us more content about vanlife,it’s very interesting

Been a tiktok subscriber for a year or so and now I’ve been binge watching your RU-vid for the past two hours 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have you thought about using scissor Jack's like the ones on campers to level your van? I think that would help with keeping the van even for cooking.

Love your Velcro “stick to the wall” ideas. 👍

Lmaoo that escalade story is funny, it is crazy to see how far technology has come in a span of 10 years.

My mom says people who live in vans are bozos but there not they just save up money and have a different life and I bet it’s fun 😊

I don't think that's a truck stop.... I think its simply considered a rest are or rest stop that is taken kept up by the state.

Your voice is perfect for sing "Discovery channel" by Bloodhound gang!

Yeah when you started rapping the rap god verse in gibberish like we all do I instantly subbed .

You have a nice, deep & soothing voice

2:25 has restored my faith in humanity. funny shit man!!

Love the van build. Pleas don't use margarine to cook wagyu. Try beef tallow instead.

What kind of portable AC unit is that?

This is the 2nd video I’ve watched of yours in a row and I’m gonna subscribe, thanks for the great content and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos

I'm thinking some paracord a couple of hooks... tie up spots.... and that A/C could hang from the ceiling in the very back ....

people living in cars make and eat nicer dinners than i have ever done in my apt in the last two years lol

BRO THAT van is sick tv fridge

tell me you grew up rich without telling me, you grew up rich.... love the videos.

In my future I want to be a of state truck driver semi truck you give all of us ideas of what to do

Ahhh! You chilled red wine

U really that dude that has two things in your cart and can’t leave the cart inside 😂

Cool stuff bro gg. Ps : your ac thing looks like a freaking jetpack from cyberpunk

2:26 vanlife got to him, he is loosing it or never had it...anyway welcome to insanity land its fun here

2:25 made me subscribe, love it

But the steak in the oven for about 10 or 15 minutes on 350 so the inside can cook good after u cook in on the stove top

I’ve been dreaming about getting a van or small bus to remodel. That would be so much fun 😭! Id make a little gamers😂 van 😅 that would be so dope to just travel wherever you want then at the end of day hop in the back n play some world of Warcraft 😂😭

2:25 when my teacher says We have extra homework

u should get a roof top aircon

Really enjoy watching your vids bromigo 🤙🏻 truly inspired 🙏🏻

Here before this channel blows up

Great videos keep up the good work an if you have the vents on the Xbox covered with the wall it would over heat

I can imagine adding sour cream to that dinner!

Love ur videos bro ur a genuine guy

THE RANDOM SCREAM TING @ 2:26 MADE ME SUB HAHA AWESOME VIDEO BROTHER MUCH LOVE GOD BLESS

What hotpot do you use? Is it from your phone? Or separate.

This is all super rad. I love my living space because I can fit 800 shoes there on the walls lol. But I would love to have a sweet travel ride like this.

It's so refreshing to see someone doing van life that ISN'T a vegetarian or vegan. Great work as always.

Your living my dream🥹

Van life and cooking channel in one.

This dude drives my OCD f crazy.. I know that floor seasoning his feet

My man went from rap god to just screaming😂😂

I love farm rich original French toast

0:01 9hours for 29gb ! My mans got a " cup with string" for a modem 😂

We got a couple favorite rest areas we use for 3 day trips in Michigan. Motel rooms aren't worth the price for a bed and a shower.

I’ve slept with earplugs the past 15yrs in an empty house. They block out the loudest of neighbours or anything. Without the invention of the earplug there’d be many less humans alive right now

maybe this is just the PA in me, but how the hell did u buy wine at walmart AND self checkout????

This cup is dirty, instead of rinsing it real quick he dirtys another 😳

bro really put the camera inside the freezer just to take it right back out lmao goofy ahhhh

Van setup looks so clean🔥

first time ever seeing u and im gonna be honest i love these type of vids so ill be subscribing and watching more

i forgot i was in my room watching you it felt like i were there with you

Technically that's not a truck stop... That's a rest area. A truck stop has a store, fuel, food, showers, and scales....And some even have a garage.

Chuck Norris can believe it’s not butter

First time watching now subscribe

Very fun to watch! Great narrating!

Xbox user! Nice! Just subscribed after seeing another video of yours, have you tried game streaming? I have yet to catch up but I'm guessing you got a mobile internet hotspot of some sort, you might be able to game stream! ;) Love your van! Especially those indirect lights at the top, great effn job! Instead of Velcro you should try 3M Dual Lock or command strips as they're called in the USA? It's like velcro but without the fabric and able to hold WAY more weight than velcro.

keep this real content, love it

First video ever and I’m a fan already subscribed 😊

Dude your van is DOPE!! Only thing that would make it better is your own full bathroom inside!! LOL Where did you get that AC unit?

Traffic can be "kind of" like white noise

I think you covered your Xbox's heat exhaust with the wall

Its probably a tv before the 90s

I wonder if there is a way to vent the heat from the Xbox out my Xbox one is the original model so I know they made some changes but that thing is a heater 🙄 it makes my room so hot I feel like you should stream movies on it when you’re cold also after Alaska it would be so cool if you explored Canada on the way back home :)

2:24 is pure, real life there

I really wanna live in a rv or a van lol its my dream

I see you have one of the two a/c vents in the ceiling and the other seems to be aimed somewhere toward the floor. Do you think it is more effective than having them both going to the outside?

This guy is so much fun!

This is just a suggestion.. if you can, don't stand while eating because it's not good for your health.. keep up the spirit okay

Dude, I’m “liking” and subscribing just cuz you like Fortnite! 😄 Awesome setup, man! 👍🏻👍🏻

Got a link of your setup bro I’m curious and congrats you gained another subscriber I like the van life bro

bro this is absolutely amazing content! Keep it up man!

clearly inspired by mav 😂

ayooooooooo we got the same gold fish lol pizza flavor
