VAN CAMPING - FALL TRIP
Our fall campout. Cruised around some backroads, and a lot of dirt roads. The leaves were past peak, all the tourists were further south and east. Felt like we had the whole area to ourselves.

OLD HILL VILLAGE
zhlédnutí 203Před rokem
VW VANAGON OLD HILL VILLAGE. Old Hill Village was lost/moved, to make way for the impoundment area for Franklin Falls Dam. Once a year the Army Corps of Engineers opens the roads to vehicles. These roads are all that is left of the former location. Many objects from the former town can be seen in the "New" location of Hill Village. There are miles of roads along a scenic wild section of the Pem...

Cruising a few dirt roads here in NH in our 1982 Vanagon to one of our favorite little places to eat.
Float Trip from Franklin to Concord on an RMR Cataraft
zhlédnutí 64Před rokem
Float trip from Franklin to Concord on the Merrimack River. This flows through the Franklin to Boscawen section, The Boscawen to Hanna Dustin, Sewell Falls to NHTI Park. Water levels were extremely low and flow was very slow. We had some great weather aside from a passing down burst. Few downed trees and a close call with a deadfall ending in a massive rainbow.
TDI SWAPPED VANAGON

Mashup of converting my 1982 Vanagon diesel into a TDI. Found this van on a farm in MA. It already had the weird hightop. This was mostly a DIY project. Had help from friends.

Kayaking Punch Brook in Franklin NH This creek is a couple miles from downtown Franklin and the Lower Winnipesaukee River. It runs after a couple inches of rain and is fairly flashy. This creek is made up of mostly decent continuous boogie, with a couple mild class IV drops. Put in and take out are both on state roads, or paddle all the way out into the Merrimack. This run is great for easy fas...
Snark sailing in NH

Picked up a snark sailboat off Market Place. Took it to the local lake. Had to use the Wind Skate sail and mast while I am waiting for the correct mast to come in. It is a bit small but made for a leisurely first time out.

Where did you get the cool digital voltage meter? 2:29
I made it from ebay. Found a small voltage screen and used a solder to insert it into a stock filler.
@@van_demoniumwow cool I’m totally going to try that thank you
I use a torch ... plomers one ... and go gentel cus it heats up verry fast ... 😂 and a verry damp rag
Awesome!!⚡️🙏🏽
What did you do for the A/ C , I saw a plastic on front top of yours is that A/C, I have a jetta engine 2.0 in my vanagon but not done with project yet.
That's an AC duct out of the later Vanagons. I hollowed one out and made it into a head knocker for storage. Sunglasses, stickers, registration, binoculars, small glove box stuff. This does not have AC in it as it was an 82 diesel. The early diesels did not offer AC, even had a sticker saying no ac in an orange warning label on the T-belt cover. Likely due to their already low output of 48hp. This now having the TDI could be converted over for sure but I won't be going to that extent. Totally doable though so if you were considering doing that in your conversion it is totally an option. Good write-ups over at the samba and Vanagon owners too if for when the time comes.
Do you keep any of your catch, or due to regulations, are you required to release them?
I do not keep any. Folks can keep them here though. There are very few regulations when it comes to bass. I am also not a fan of eating fish but lots of people around here eat the bass, black crappie and such, so I personally just toss them back. There are also trout, and salmon around here too. They have a season and limits. The trout stocking here though is mostly a consumables program, vs restorative. I just fish for the fun of it. I might keep some in the future however for fertilization purposes.
Hello ! where did you get the top plastic board at the front of your van? it looks like a perfect fit !
Do you mean the dash console?
@@van_demonium yes, the one on the top
@@sirflop1220 They are no longer in production but they were based out of Europe I think it was the UK they pop up from time to time. I got this one in a parts van purchase still new in the box.
I really need to get a Snark and go lake sailing on a beautiful lake.
I wonder if you can fix this with liquid plastic. Put tape on one side then pour on liquid plastic. There is a vid here on utube of how to make it. Just break apart a cd jewel case and place shards in a jar submerged in acetone. Let sit 24 hours then use.
I'm gonna vote this as the best, most effective, plastic kayak repair video on CZcams!
That first drive is magic!
It was so relieving
It will be nice when they finally pave the trail and make it safer and more inclusive. Right now, it is not a family-friendly trail and excludes older citizens and the handicapped. It is downright unsafe at some points.
I am a bit torn. I agree about the lack of access for the older, the handicapped and it being beneficial for their access and safety but the place is loaded with families. This immediate region is blessed with many paved options like The Bruce Freeman, The Narrow Gauge, and The Minuteman Bikeway, right in this general area. I do enjoy the unpaved nature, but agree it is a mess. There is a whole section that often muck by the Concord end and semi submerged in the swamp it cuts through. The S turn in the trees near the farm is often the site of collisions, and the heartwell stretch is usually rutted up from that farm and utility equipment access. The only thing I worry about with the paving is the general over crowding we see on the other sections mentioned, as well as the speeds some of the bikes will be carrying. It also increases the functionality for commuters. Which I admit is a good thing but will also increase the population of people carrying a higher speed. So where paving it does increase access. We may be trading one safety issue for another.
Nice! i also have a 82 diesel. same color, camper but not a westy. also doing tdi upgrade and trying to get ideas. Did you do a lift and if yes. what did you end up with? Thanks!
Awesome! Are you in the northeast? I did do a lift. I ended up with the old 2inch GW springs and Bilstein shocks all around. I do also have the GW balljoint spacers
@@van_demonium I'm in SoCal. Hoping to travel after i am done with the upgrades. May take a year. Will see :)
That was great bro, so glad you saw the potential of this beauty sitting in that yard for years and persistence paid off. You turned it in to a dream machine. Rock on and VW for life!!
Thank you for the kind words. I like to look at it similar to dog rescue now and then videos. They are sad and worried they aren't going to make it and then once saved they look great and are happy and healthy with their new family. If you haven't seen some of the other vids check them out. The has gotten more work done and been on a ton of adventures so far. I am really happy with the results.
I’m up here in Maine, just bought a westy and I’m loving these fall vids. Can’t wait to get the brick out on the back roads!
We spend a lot of time in Maine too. You will have to join in on the fun. Join the Vacationland Volkswagen association on facebook. Bunch of us are in there.
@@van_demonium dude awesome! Will do
Indefinitely it's a 2004 model I have the exact bike bought it new in 2004
The camera kinda fails to capture the "impressive mountain climb" to the top of the ski resor,t on the legendary CT 110. Awsome! I have found a what I consider to be a fantastic deal on a Honda C T110 from 1983 that only has 3 600 miles on it and has been garage kept locally. Where are you in low range going up-and-down? Will your CT110 do 52 miles an hou,r on a flat stretch of road with no headwind? I was looking for this channel on my personal phone and not the work phone and can't find it. Anyways period, good times! Thank you.
Yes it will. Its a bit rough it could use a timing chain adjustment and some cleaning up. The speedo whines a ton and its a pretty tired example but it will still do 50 with me on it on flats. I was in Low for most of this vid and you are right the go pro does jack for showing how steep it really was.
That was a fun looking ride. Thank you for sharing.
今ct125乗ってるけど、かっこいいよな-ct110こいつも欲しい! I'm riding a ct125 now, but it's cool-I want this ct110 too!
The bike the nature and the ride 👍❤
Thank you! There will be more of the CT110 soon. Was tied up with the van for a bit but the plan is to toss the CT in there and head out.
Looks great even with such low water. Can you just make camp on any of the islands you find in the river? I assume all the banks are privately-owned.
When the water is this low we are technically in the riverbed within the riparian rights of access.

Donde puedo conseguir ese millero broo
EN DUBAI
nice video joey, can't wait to see it in person. also can't wait to get my bus lifted!
Where is this at?
I'm watching this video with my head tilted down because of your point of view...what I was going to say is that I love the minute man trail nice and smooth riding if you have a road bike it's a nice 20 miler
How's the 110 compare to the 90 in performance/fuel economy?
A long asked question with a really varying answer. So these two bikes on this day preformed pretty much the same and used about the same amount of fuel. However my bike is beat (the 110) and his is a bit nicer shape (the ct90) and likely better compression too. If both bikes were new or comparable condition, the 110 has a slightly better pull and top speed. They still use about the same amount of fuel and range. However it could vary greater in different regions or altitudes and even over greater distances of travel and of corse rider weight. I wouldn't really say buy one over the other. If someone who is new to the CT and looking to get into one. Get something in decent shape and it will do the job.
@@van_demonium Thank you for the best answer I've come across yet.
How long did that weld hold?
It held for a while but it was a Machno and in typical fashion cracked again in another spot. I believe it is now a flower planter.
Hey, you still have the yz 80??
Indeed.
@@van_demoniumYou going to make a video on it?
@@cuda4094 Eventually. This was right before Covid and the bike got a lot of woods use during lockdown and then the crank seal went. I should have cracked into replacing it right away but life. I moved twice and had a few other larger projects that were already ongoing, take most of my time outside of work. I will have another Vanagon video of my TDI build, out eventually and then likely start digging back into the barn to pull this out.
@@van_demonium love that bike. That was my 1st motorcycle , I Was like 12. 🙂 Wish I never got rid of it. Where did you get the bike? Just wondering 🤔
@@cuda4094 This one was my ladies aunt's since new and I had one just like it as a kid. It was given to her from her aunt so it's a bit of a family heirloom.
I don't usually envy people when they deserve what they got but this case could do exception...
Your voice is like if hangovers had a voice..
I've been told it sounds like a power drill. I actually don't smoke or drink either.
That's the truth keep the original carburetor and just rebuild it even if it needs a new topend kit that bike will kick butt super hole shot bike luv to see it when you have it running
Luv them older models more than the new ones any day there quick little bikes and to me they got better style I will be looking forward to more of your videos take care and I wish you the best with your rebuild it will be well worth it take care
Let me see if I've got this. First you heat the tip...just the tip , then heat up the crack. After that you ram the stick into the crack. Do I have that right? >snicker<
Glad I'm not the only one who heard it that way
Not sure I'd agree with anything on there being a 4. Nice river though. Be nice if someone close by would get out there and cut the wood during low flows. Cheers. Be safe.
Swim it and let us know.
I don't disagree about the class rating. Take the two bigger ones out, and it be a class II. However if you look at the standardized scale of ratings, It is stated that a rapid with vertical drop or ledge over 4ft, is considered class IV. No denying that this run is easy, I just also didn't create the scale or requirements. If the Smith up the road is easier and yet a class IV maybe we should start there.
@@van_demonium True - Punch Brook Falls looks like a fun 4 if that wood was gone to make it runnable. I always see rapids as something long and sustained and shorter rapids (like PB Falls there ) as a feature. So I would agree it's a class two with a couple of class 4 features. It should be included on the AW site. Does it have a USGS gauge on it?
@@cheskybaba4864 It is undeniably pushing the - side of that IV- rating. It is a bit steeper than it appears in the vid. It is not the "steep" by any means, but on the topo/gps you can see it does drop 180+ feet in 1.75 miles. It is continuous, fast flowing, a bit manky, and a swim could easily lead to injury or entrapment. The river right sections below PB Falls not shown here is sieved out pretty badly. We would need the wood out of the lead in, to get over there to show it. It is also worth mentioning that this run, is at it's lowest runnable level. We do look to remove the wood, mend the current land issue and show some more runs at high water. This run is only a couple miles from the Franklin whitewater park. It will be a great addition to the growing whitewater community.

Cool 👍
Part 3 ??
Just picked up one yes
Joey is that Waterville valley run? My second guess would be its way western mass
Yeah Norway rapids.
Hello do you still have the us?
