![SOLO Camping in Rain [ Iconic 1975 VW Van Life, Cosy Relax and Sleep ASMR ]](/img/n.gif)
First shot going down stairs, and I’m like “what the hell” How did you fit that in there?
That's what I thought! I subscribed immediately 😂
Same!
Same
Hahahha. I too though the same lol
me too haha
When driving a manual vehicle, always leave it in gear when you're parked. Even with the emergency brake set, if the e brake fails, your transmission will help keep the vehicle from moving. Especially with that camper I wouldn't trust the e brake alone. Stay safe Mav!
On the gang itself
He is in a flat state MN. If he grew up in San Francisco he would know this.
Did I miss something ? Did he get back to the states or this was prefilmed?
@@jaytrock3217 I think he mentioned he flew back to visit his parents!
@@betopistolas4644 dude just up and left his truck?
I have never seen that many mosquitos in such a small space before. Props for dealing with it and finishing up the trip.
ງງ
Ijkkkjj
Look at all these south East Asian losers above me 😂
If there are mosquitos I am toast
a lot of the little dots you see flying around is dust that's going past the camera. but there are a lot of mosquitos in there lol
It makes sense that the bugs would be attracted to the Bug camper. :)
Hahahaha
Agree. . it's not the "bug camper" for no good reason.
Lol👍🤣
I see what you did there
I don’t know how you slept with the mosquitoes. That’s probably the ONE thing that would have sent me straight to an air bnb. I can sleep with wet blankets, in 90 degrees, but NOT with mosquitoes. Props man.
All you need is fishnet. I live in my Prius not overhead attachment needed. I cut the net from laundry basket 🧺 and use magnets to click to inside of my windows. Nobody even knows my windows are down 1/4 inch too.
They were prob already in there next time fog it fo something outside for like forty min vehicle check walk around area then vent it fifteen minutes or go army surpluss store get a mosquito net for like ten bucks n yr set
Not cool or super functional.. like something a kid would design
@Michael Philip Oliver lmfao for real I don't sleep til I kill it
I'd keeps loads of citronella and other mosquito repelling things on me and inside the camper.
Get velcro with adhesive on back and line it all around in between the clasps. Should help alot with bugs getting in and pretty cheap. Even though it's kind of a joke camper, it's honestly a pretty convenient setup and very practical.
Yooo I was just thinking that
I came into the comments to suggest this exact thing. Get velcro! Lol
I was going to say thats what i wld do also.
Whoops.. I just suggest the same idea.. and saw more did that.. great minds think alike? Or are we all people who camp and think this way? 🤔😁
You should also additionally sew the velcro into the fabric because the glue is eventually gonna lose its strength as far as attaching the velcro to the camper long term id recommend superglue or something better
The human ingenuity never ceases to amaze. Doable concept, just know what you can live without. This certainly can work and be quite inexpensive.
I'm an outdoor educator and...wow! Such simplicity is great! (Dealing w bugs is the worst!) Great attitude. One thing- cooking indoors without ventilation is a hazard-- but if the bugs can get in, I guess the air is getting in, too! Good on you for sticking with it. Wonderful shots of nature! ❤
This is so genuine, no fancy camera no fancy lights or music. Freakin loved this vid
Would of been better if you were there to keep him company 😉.
@@pauljones364 sorry you feel the need to be nasty
@@pauljones364 stop speaking
Nothing but good clean pure misery!
Right! I love it 🤗❤️!
Velcro all around the edge of the material. Then Velcro on the frame. So the gaps are sealed.
Whoops.. I just suggest the same idea.. and saw more did that.. great minds think alike? Or are we all people who camp and think this way? 🤔😁
Woah brilliant idea... lol I suggested duct tape before reading this
I was thinking magnetic strips
My truck bed pop up had Velcro and snaps. No problem with bugs or mosquitos. I really love your setup 👍🏼😃. I now have a Nissan Frontier and it's too small for my slide-in. I'm now looking for a small pop-up to fit in it. No luck yet.
Safe travels to you Mav 👍🏼😃 and thanks for the video.
yeah my popup camper has velcro, much better
Such a happy young man! In all the issues , he picked “ I like being able to stand up “just such a sweet soul! ❤
So convenient getting onions from your pocket😂😂
Use Velcro in-between the button snaps and that should help seal the canvas better.
I was thinking this exactly. Tents and pop ups use this in their construction for keeping bugs out.
Why not go in and buy a roll of black duct tape for now and then do that? Why sit and get destroyed by bugs and maybe get west Nile.
just what I was thinking, very quick fix too.
@@cooperstertz I don’t think the duct tape is gonna hold up well to the pop-up being closed-opened. Velcro is definitely the way to go
I just came to the comment section to say it but I guess it's done haha
I’d recommend to put the car into first gear instead of neutral when parking. Gives additional safety when parking on a hill.
THIS! I was hoping someone would say it. You need to leave your car in gear, since your ebrake may not always work, especially with all that extra weight on the car.
I did not know that🔥🔥🔥
I thought this too. He could have a wild ride.
Each time he did that I almost cringed thinking he needs to leave it in gear plus the brake. So long as he remembers to put his foot on the clutch when starting.
Yes, but don’t get your feet off the clutch till you shut the car down xD.
This is funny and cool. This is absolutely me during camping, plus my temper tantrums. I've been watching camping videos for a while now, and this one is more realistic for me.
i love how he is just making the most out of life, keep going man
For the mosquito thing, it might help to have an aromatic oil diffuser and put some rosemary oil into it with the diffuser on the lowest setting (cuz the bug camper is rather small), from what I've heard mosquitos hate the smell of rosemary and just kinda leave the air space, and it repels other insects as well. A nice side effect is that if you have any breathing issues it clears them up a bit since its an antiseptic, antispasmodic and an expectorant. And no, I'm not someone who's into that essential oil stuff, but this one I know for sure helps in some regard :P
@Charles Morse The only oils that work diffused into the air are the ones with menthol but only then there are just less likely to bite
Edit: and for some menthol is just annoying
Plucking flowers (and destroying trees) is beyond kreeminaI and soon to be banned!
@@FrozenMermaid666 I have read your channel description an if that isnt ironic than i too am a true royal, probably more royal than you
OR SIMPLY FUCKING SPRAY BAYGON
Rosemary is known for its ability to support mental acuity. 😎
Pro Tip: Never, ever drain any fat or grease down the drains (at home -or- the camper/rv). The fat solidifies and clogs everything up. Best to keep a jar (with a tight lid) around for that purpose.
You can reuse it over and over to, make biscuit and gravy, keep in Folgers can!!
You can also pour it into a can with paper towel and light for a long lasting fire
And to use again for frying oil just keep straining it till the burn bits are removed and also can use it for like years till the oil get black then that when it’s time to go
@@carllubrin8518 Yea, the old timers never wasted anything!!! They even made their own potted meat with all the leftover animal parts and when you grill it inside a grilled cheese it's kinda like a poor man's Philly Cheese Steak sandwich!!! 🥪
I would never cook meat in a small enclosed space, odd christening of his camper… poor planning all around actually.
those skeeters givin’ me major angsssstttttt- another awesome vid, Mav! Mad love from Canada!
Dude is so humble it's crazy...
love this dude and his peace about everything. I would of lost my stuff at the rain lol. Keep it up Mav. You're teaching us more than just camping. God bless.
@Charles Morse Cringe. Oh noes, he has a spine! ... what an odd Gatekeep.
Plucking flowers (and destroying trees) is beyond kreeminaI and soon to be banned -- your name is also incorrect and must be changed, as I am the only being who can have Flowers (Flores) or flower names in my name. And love is the most misused word in the world -- humans are not love materiaI and no one loves them... I am the only being meant to be loved and who can be loved -- and my protectors (the true alphas) are the only men who can feel such absolute feeling!
Well said, Nick. ✌❤😎
@@craigtuckerv I think one of them deleted a reply because I only see one weird comment
Honestly, more camping supply dealers need to sponsor Mav already. He literally camps all the time and, like Camp Chef, he's an active user of camping products and often looking for new, more useful products to grab. I just think they're massively missing out on the marketing. Like, if I ever go camping, I'm gonna listen to what Mav says cause he knows waaaaay more than me.
Yeah it's ashame no overlanding or camping companies Sponsorships
It’s dark and depressing
Oh its gonna happen.
Perhaps
And toothpaste! Did you see his beautiful teeth? I wanna buy what he uses!
So happy I found your channel. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Used to live right on Lake Superior, near Ironwood and kayaked everyday in summer and fall. Now I live on Lake Michigan in an amazing apartment but still miss nature being all around me.
Always enjoy his excursions. Camping in bad weather is a challenge but kind of fun.
The ending with the sunrise made me really realize how much we’re supposed to be out enjoying life & not just living this paycheck to paycheck BS, we’re meant to live life to the fullest!!

@@trever9143 aren't there just fans
No actually a camper fan is more compact usually has a clip to hang and is rechargeable so you don’t have to have electricity to use it.
Looks like an adventure for sure. Go for it! Lots of world to see out there. The Bug Camper earned its name that first time out🦟😊
Ah seems like a chill camping experience, except for the bugs. Mosquitoes annoy me so much x_c
O_O o no
Something about this video.... It's like I went with this dude on this camping trip. So authentic and natural. Just wow
I can feel the mosquito bites on me😂ugh
Would of been better if you were there to keep him company 😉
The fun part of it
Should of had a sloppy Joe for you next to his.
That's because NO annoying music!
If you can help it, try not setting up the bug at dust or at night. You’ll attract bugs inside. And when you go in and out turn off all lights. Really helps keep them out. Great 1st ep!
Maybe rig up a decoy bug light on an extension cord about 20 feet away, LOL.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Great idea.
I love how unglamorous this is. totally real!
Can’t expect a pimped out beetle to not attract other curious bugs 😉 😂

Use magnet stripping around the canvas so it stays protected from bugs and weather compared to Velcro which fails after time
I use velcro for things, but your idea might work too.
@@susanpendell4215 I was gonna say velcro as well :)

Nice of you!
I know I keep commenting but I know a lot about camping. Lol But this is your first time doing it by yourself and I think you’re doing a great job no worries it’s a learning experience and you will learn as you go along by the following year you will be an expert trust me HAHAHA
great attitude about the bugs. you sure made this look fun and now it makes me wanna go camping lol thanks brotha and keep up the good work.
Definitely a “bug” camper haha. Looked miserable, one thing I can’t stand is mosquitoes because they love me!
😡
I see what you did there 😂
Me too! If you’re standing next to me, you have no worries about being bit, they will do battle to get past you and onto me. So weird, you’d think we’d all be equally yummy, but apparently not.
Are you type O blood? They love type 0.
@@seriouslyjoking2
I think it’s something else rather than what type of blood we have. I’m not Type O and mosquitoes love to feast on my blood. I remember reading somewhere it might be lack of Vitamin B? All biting things seem to love me. Fleas, mosquitoes, bee stings, whatever it is I get extreme swelling and itching! Without antihistamines I scratch until I bleed and then the scabs get itchy and I scratch them too.
I would fully recommend that you pick up yourself a Thermo Cell apparatus. "Camping with Steve" recommends this highly for repelling insects when he is out stealth camping. Covers a large area as well. Just the thought of trying to sleep with all those blood sucking mosquitoes makes me itch to no end. Pretty sweet Bug Camper for sure.
Idk if those are made for indoor use. I think he says it to use in a well ventilated area
The mosquitos in our south Louisiana swamps laughed hysterically at my thermacell attempt.😈🦟🦟🦟🦟🤨
@@JerkinJoshXD glad to see fellow mav enthusiasts enjoying Camping with Steve's content. We should see a duo camp from them soon!!!!!!!
The Thermo Cell rocks - and you may have enough ventilation with the unsealed edges to prevent fumigating yourself
these are nice but i’m pretty sure the fumes are toxic, they tell you not to use it anywhere near where your food would be
The pocket onion made me lol 🤣
Love the build! Can't wait to see more!
Never would believe a VW car with a camper on top. This is amazing to see. It looks neat and small. Set up equipment working. At least he is inside.
A "Bug" camper full of "bugs." I could never sleep with even one mosquito in the room. I don't know how you did that = but the camper is cool!
I have the worst reactions to bites, so I'd have to be drenched in bug spray before going in that bug death trap lol!
If you were sleepy you could.
Agreed. It was painful to watch. Poor dude can’t even straighten his legs when he sleep.
😆
Bug will go away once lights off.
Such an amazing journey you are on! Can't wait to see more content. VW Camper excellence!
That's it you learn to see what you need , next time then next , because there is always space for improvement. Enjoy as you grow into it.
Lol. “Bug Camper” then complains of all the bugs………nothings gonna compare to the truck Mav. Keep on Bugging….thanks for the content, man.
My mum and I stayed in a motel while on holiday
There was an ant infestation in the rooms

@@babymammoth6254 Ha!! Dam good thing the license plate didn’t say Bates.
ikea should have a mattress that will fit even the toddler ones that sounds weird but they extend for growing with your child. For sure get a bug net for now to sleep under as well.
Velcro!! That’s what my pop up has, just buy a roll and cut it to the size between the clasps! Helps with bugs 😊

I don't even want to explain, because you don't want to be corrected.
By your own words, I detected that you don't believe anything in the new testament.
And if so, you cannot be saved, because you think salvation is through self righteous law keeping. Which BTW cannot be done. It's impossible to keep the whole law, because if you ever broken just one commandment, you are guilty of breaking them all. Therefore you can never be justified.
Because salvation is by grace through faith. Nobody can be justified by keeping the law of Moses. Good luck trying to keep 613 commandments perfectly.
I'll take grace any day.
Hebrews1:8 God calls Jesus God.
God calls Jesus his son.
God never called any angel his son, at any time.
Also John 5:37 says:
37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
That means that the voice at the burning bush was Jesus, not His Father.
Also remember that God told Adam and Satan and Eve, about the "Seed" that would come and be enmity between Satan's seed and woman's seed.
That seed is Jesus.
Jesus is not His Father, but old Testament says they will call the Messiah, Wonderful, Councilor, Everlasting Father, etc.
Jesus is the firstborn of every creature.
Firstborn from the dead, because he's the first to be resurrected and still living since and is living evermore.
Therefore we can call him Father, because he is the first fruit of everyone to be resurrected. Just like Abraham is called our father, because he was first to believe God and the promise was made to him, through Isaac, not Ishmael.
Anyone with faith like Abraham, is seed of Abraham, regardless of bloodline differences.
Circumcision is that of the heart, through faith in Christ Jesus, not through cutting off of the flesh.
Nobody can boast about being righteous because nobody is righteous through lawkeeping.
Righteousness is given to people, who believe in Jesus as the Messiah and son of God. He died for us on the cross.
Read John 3:16

Truly a social media Megastar.
If you’re open to a suggestion from a vw camper person. You can get rv rated mesh screen (we call it “no see’em” screen) and add a Velcro border then attach that to the surround. Then you can leave the bottom of your tent loose or even roll it up to expose the outside.
And going the other way you can insulate things using foil bubble wrap (sell it at Home Depot) using the same Velcro method some the camper side Velcro is the same for body things.
If you camp in the winter adding a diesel or propane heater is really easy (eberspacher or propex).
Great ingenuity and I love seeing what a person can put together from their own vision!
P
When camping on your own, always remember to bring a bug zapper. They save you hours of frustration swatting at bugs. Also, cover your equipment with tarp to keep it dry, and always have a flashlight. Generators and 1 or 2 extra 5 gallon containers of gas never hurt either.
Also, you can use Velcro to patch up the cracks in your tent for a quick patch work seal.
You can get them that recharge with built in solar panels.
@Charles Morse Do you actually give a shit?
@Charles Morse probably. God knows there’s only one right way to do things, none of it can be trial and error.
I prefer headlamps over flashlights.
Great job! You kept your attitude upbeat too, despite mosquitos. Really looks like it could be a snug camper.😉💖
Nice build! A few observations:
1. Weather stripping might help with the gaps.
2. Don't pour greece down your sink. Use a cup with maybe a paper towel in it to soak up.
3. Don't leave your backpack on the seat where not nice ppl can see it. Just be safe!
Other than that excellent job!! (I'm a bit jelly)

I see some folks recommend putting netting between the clasps but I would line the interior with the netting. You could get 3 good size nettings and do each wall and attach all inside permanently. It will move easy when you raise and lower the camper. I LOVE it btw ♥️So perfect!
props to you for not losing your cool with all the mosquitoes, I would have let out a *Reeeeeee* lol
Been losing my mind because of mosquitoes here in Arkansas. Literally can't even skate in my driveway for 10 mins before I'm covered.
Oh God, I know! Same!
It is very nice that you can stand upright in there, and it is compact when you're travelling.
The mosquitoes navigate by your c02 being exhaled, so there is no way of escaping them except if you seal up the van.
Velcro along the whole canvas lining may help. Sewed on. In addition to the clips for added durability. Also, how do you like the jackery power bank?
Leave the car in 1st gear when you turn it off and apply the parking brake; if the brake fails the car won’t roll. This has been a public service announcement for those that just learned to drive a manual. 😉
Also, add Velcro around the bottom of the canvas.
Now you’re ready to car camp in that bug.
Yeah exactly 1st is the hardest to move. In my experience honestly any gear is better than neutral were you're at the mercy of the brakes.
Or just leave it in neutral like ive been doing for 5 years no problem 😉

Hey your camper is really cool. As for the bugs, You can close off the canvas using velcro strips attachment. We used this at home to make a detatchable net to make our windows bug proof. I am sure with some additions it is going to look amazing. LOoking forward to more videos.
Just love how he pulls an onion out of his pocket. So relatable. Living in my van the amount of times I have weird stuff stashed in my pockets for later to sort out lol
My first time here on your channel. That car is adorable. OMG and that cutting board kit is so cute lol.
This is so cute, gotta tell my son about it. He is a VW camper, only his the van , he has it fixed so nice got a shower. Stove, sink a canapé, yours looked so nice inside, love that you could stand up in it, and cook inside, love your stove. It’s really and one you do a little fixin on it will be perfect. Good luck with all. You did real good.♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Man the bugs were bugging me out just watching...I couldn't imagine...ur a champ!
Crazy he’s about to hit a million already…
Best journey I’ve followed on youtube
Already? Dudes been at this forever
@@ExploringJ I started watching him less than 6 months ago and he had like 200k
@@vincentingroia1376 he thought that you meant mav hasnt been making videos very long
I know. Doesn't seem like long ago he was just at 200k
Dude it is an amazing thing you’ve done, I have some project that I work on it but not ready, i ho camping every weekend, keep it up.
Love the video. How appropriate the first Bug run was loaded with bugs!
It’s so amazing how Mav went from this little kid filming fishing videos from the shore of lakes and ponds to who he is today. I’m only a few years older but I feel so fucking proud of Mav and his accomplishments! Amazing videos as always my dude! Keepem coming! 1 million subscribers soon!
Being proud of someone’s achievements of which you didn’t contribute anything to, weird...
@@pinut187 you don't have to contribute to be proud
@@pinut187 The only thing weird on this comment thread is your comment.
@@pinut187 And you're actually just flat out wrong here. Watching and interacting with his videos is literally how his channel grew. So yes, OP DID contribute to the growth of this channel. :D
@@pinut187 where does your logic come from???? Anyways, this is about Mav. Get out of here with your negativity.
One other piece of advice for the future. When you do seal the canvas to the body, leave the door open when you dro the roof or raise it, as it prevents pressure or suction making it easier to drop or raise the roof. Personally I would rivet the canvas to the frame and seal it with a good flexible sealant.
Yes, rivet it, and then use a good rubber type sealant. There is a really good red colored sealant that they use in aircraft but I can’t remember the name of it, but I think it’d be perfect for this scenario.
remember when you were 22 and the world was your oyster?. Man I still remember it like yesterday and channels like this make you glad you did it.
You were very patient with those mosquitoes all around you be safe when camping and look for a safe area to stay the night take care God bless you ❤️🙏
Highly recommend putting the thing in gear when you park it to avoid rollaways. Just looking to out for you bud 😁
