So in the states this stuff happens even more. I was sleeping in my car woke up to a guy trying all my door handles. I chewed him out. A couple days later some one shot the guy and some girl for trying to steal his truck. How ever the guy was shot to death. It's because they are not afraid of the babylon. I feel you on the gun thing though, now they are taking away your kitchen knives. There must not be any kind rebellion against the crown you know you know. They controlling the states btw.

Also I suggest putting some trap doors in your floor adjacent to your car doors and using recessed hinges like you find in kitchen cabinetry.

@@3imaginaryboys1972 ty bro, make sure you use like 4 hinges per door to support your body weight. Just don't hyper perforate the wood Adam. This is tight. Also your floor looks good, you can cover it up with carpet and vinyl.
Honestly you need a camera crew and an ITV show, It´s hilarious to watch... love ya man.
In brief: 1. **Introduction**: The video starts with the creator discussing the modifications and additions he's made to his car for camping purposes. He mentions the challenges he faced while setting up the flooring and the excitement of testing it out. 2. **Location**: The creator drives to a scenic spot with a beautiful view of the sky and landscape. He mentions that he had initially considered another location but is glad he chose the current one. 3. **Setting Up**: He talks about finding the perfect spot to park and set up for the night. The creator emphasizes the beauty of the location, especially with the sunset in the backdrop. 4. **Cooking**: The creator showcases his new double hob cooker and prepares a meal consisting of eggs, beans, and a bacon grill (a substitute for spam). He humorously narrates his cooking process, including some mishaps. 5. **Night Experience**: He enjoys his meal while admiring the sunset. Later, he shares an incident where a car stopped next to his in the middle of the night, causing some anxiety. He speculates on the intentions of the car's occupants and contrasts the situation with how it might be handled in a place like America where gun ownership is more common. 6. **Morning**: The creator wakes up to a drizzly morning and talks about his plans for the day. He mentions wanting to explore a trail and find a particular stone circle. 7. **Hiking**: He embarks on a hike, discussing the challenges of navigating the terrain and the beauty of the natural surroundings. Eventually, he discovers the Bamford Moor stone circle, speculating on its historical and cultural significance. 8. **Conclusion**: The creator reflects on his trip, emphasizing the joy of being out in nature and the potential modifications he might make to his car for future trips. He expresses gratitude to his viewers and encourages them to enjoy camping and stay stealthy. Overall, the video provides a mix of practical car camping tips, scenic views, personal experiences, and humorous commentary.

You can buy battery strap kits with tie down brackets you can screw in. Saves cutting slits with grinders and letting water in.

Not only water, but may let exhaust fumes in too, and the strap will just chaff through on the sharp metal edges in a hundred miles worth of vehicle jostling.
Loving the crib looks a little cutie. Think i would paint the wood floor with a sealer so its easy to clean and use a tray under your plate that will help with spillages. Cooker is a fab upgrade people are so kind. ☺️
I reaally enjoy your vids as they are a great mix. Talk about light entertainment. Easy and practical changes to a small car that any budget can reach. Scoping for new places, cooking, the banter and of course terriffic scenery. You have a great attitude to life broadcasting the beauty of nature at a level anybody can understand. Keep going mate.
Loving the build so far, hope you don't mind some suggestions? Why don't you raise your bed platform level up to the tailgate ledge height, that would give you more storage under the floor with hinges in certain places or hatches in floor as you see on camper vans with storage under floor. Then build a cupboard up to window level / chest height on drivers side with shelves and work top for cooking on / food prep, would be a good height when you are sitting on bed. We love love your enthusiasm, cant wait to see the final build. Keep up the good work, loving your channel.

I'm an Aussie, I'm laughing my head off. Trying to get the 'spam' out of the tin. Just love your accent. Oh no, now your having trouble getting the egg out 😂😂😂, all those baked beans 😳 love your videos.
Bacon grill is the bomb Bon appetit Adam 👍🏻

Ive just Subbed after seeing your videos over a few days and this one has made me sub, i love your cheerful spirt and i wish there were more folk on this planet like you -i love what your doing too.
Getting there with the Kia! 🙂 Best way to do it, make some basics and check it out so you know what you need and want, keep up the good work 🙂
"Bacon my arse". Cracking video with classic you know you know humour. Thank you!!!!!! 🤣😆🤣
Great video as always Bro. slide your drivers seat all the way back . pull the leaver on your seat for the back to go back and let it go all the way back. instant bed. thats what i do give it a try at least. best wishes to you all 🙂
Floor looks great well done onwards and upwards 👍.
Finally some really messy cooking again! 👍 I had to laugh so hard when you wiped your baconjuice fingers at your socks! 😂🤣 This could so much have been me! Loved it man! One day I gotta have to come over to GB with my minicamper and we're making the biggest messy cookout ever! Greetz from Germany

If you want easy storage, cut your floor above the cubby area and put some hinges on it so you can just pop a lid and access the storage. Great little project!

Hi Adam. wish you some good adventures with your new car 🚘. Another great video with lovely scenery. Love watching you cooking. Your meals look good .take care of yourself and I’ll see you in your next video 🥰❤️👍❤️
looking good bud, I think raising the floor just behind the drivers seat will give you storage and a raised surface for cooking etc? with regards to bacon grill and spam slice it in the tin first then you get better slices and it comes put easy 👍
what an awesome video! thanks for sharing! I've got to get my mazda 5 back in gear. you are an inspiration!
Heya Adam, my suggestion is have the bed platform and have the other side raised so you can have a counter top and storage
Splendid work on the little Kia, considering the size, the video amused me, greetings from Italy.
Adam another great video and at the bit where you ate the Sooper berry and said am I gonna feel Sooper in twenty minutes had me laughing 😂 you never not make me smile at all your content. Keep it up love what your doing.
Jab 3 holes in the bottom of the tin, it lets air out and comes out easier works with c.beef tins too
Brilliant video mate 👍👍
Well another cracking video...I'm off the Kent downs Thursday ding me first car camping hope to watch next one while in me crib

You should buy stick on heat insulation for cars makes a huge difference you can get rolls of ebay cheap just sticks to bare metal under carpet make sure it’s heat insulation and not sound insulation change the cabin filter makes your heater work better and fresher air great video series keep up the good work 👍
Cut the top board that's over the footwell and stick some hinges on there, easy access 👍 Looks great though, nice work.
Some right bellends about! I would just let my rottie out the van if somebody pulls up like that, they wud soon scarper 😂

Love this. Wanna do something similar on a budget, nice to get out and wake up to nice views😍
Proper little stealth car mate nice bit of shelving and it will be spot on be good for some over seas stealth camping
Quality mate playing in my back garden
Was just going to say the drill was drilling backwards lol but you did clear it up.
where I was staying last night there where some kids as well gathering. they where blasting music with some fancy subwoofer system. I kind of wanted his battery do die but then he wouldn't have bin able to leave so I'm glad it didn't. the two other locations I visited where better. overall I'd say it was a great first car camping trip.
Gotta love the biscuit tin and the new fancy dancing cooker nice one mate
That battery is an absolute B3@sT mate!, a nice solar charging system & you'll be sorted.. Found your vidz a few months ago & watch often Stay Safe dude

When I started converting my focus into a mini camper I came across one sticky moment. I had to make sure that fittings were removable on eve a year for MoT test. Rear seats have to be placed back for the test otherwise it won’t pass. That was a real pain in the ‘a’ because I had fitted bolts for floor etc. sorted now as in removable hinges but just a heads up 😉

That's a complete non truth. If you have zero intentions of using the rear seats, to pass an MOT, you have to remove the seat belts. The seat belts being present is what fails the MOT when seats are not present. Hope this saves you a lot of stress and faffing around next time dude

the way you fitted the strap is a bit iffy, Adam. vibration when driving will make the battery move and it will get cut by the sharp edges of the slit. A better idea would have been a tie down kit with screw in loops to put the strap through. You're going to get loads of water in the spare wheel area now which will rust the bottom of the area the battery is in. Hope you didnt mind me saying so. Great camp out though. Looks glorious there for sure. A fab find Bessy regs- Kenny
