so
[Music]
it's three in the morning
woke up to some sounds
realize we've got a visitor somewhere
you see the toilet paper is getting
chewed through
so now we're mouse hunting
so after pulling everything out the back
of the truck
we're both absolutely exhausted to try
and find
whatever it is that's got in which we
believe is a mouse
i've ended up going into the back
and taking any packet food we had
out and checking that the only other
thing that we can do
or i'll just have to wait till the
morning is uh
take all of these off take the drawers
out
and give it a really
damn good clean
[Music]
not really what you expect to be doing
at three o'clock in the morning
mouse hunting oh the joys
of truck life
[Music]
so we've already taken everything out
the back giving it a good clean
and put it back in it's now quarter to
four in the morning
and the little bugger is still in here
because he's just had another chew of my
toilet paper
or of the toilet paper
but we can't find him
[Music]
so as you can see we're taking
everything
out the back of the truck sorry about
the sun
and we're not using a mic we're just
doing this offer
off the camera phone just to give you an
idea
of what we
go through in the truck life
so we're taking everything apart we're
going to give everything a deep
clean fortunately
it's beautiful weather and where we've
camped we've camped by a river
with lots of trees and a shade or a
little bit of shade
so there you go
everything is still out we've gone
through andrea's just finished cleaning
the windows
i haven't made a particularly good job
though
i can't get the water marks off from the
outside
well sometimes those are i need to get
them right away there's a bit tough and
with the sun beating down it takes a
little longer
i've just gone through and tightened all
the screws
around the windows the majority of them
are loose
andrea's going to do her new favorite
thing of siliconing
yeah prevention is better than cure
so we don't know where the water was
leaking in but we thought
while we've got everything out
and cleaning it i'm gonna just
silicon up underneath here just in case
just in case that's where the water is
coming in
because we do know that it's been
pooling at the sides
and we haven't had any bad weather for
quite some time now so
you know
like a pro
very attractive at this angle
you see right out my nose
now comes the task of mopping
with disinfectant
okay round one of mopping up the
tailgate
and the bed of the pickup is done
we're gonna let this dry and then we're
gonna tackle it again
so we got some disinfectant
the waters we just both
we're in here scrubbing down once each
side at a time
because there's also this pocket here it
used to be uh
we heard there was like auxiliary power
and stuff back here it's not in
in this one but as you can see up in the
top and down below
dust is coming through there majorly so
i've been
spending the last five minutes scrubbing
that out trying to get as much dust as
possible
clean out the rags get some new water
more disinfectant
after this dries for a few minutes and
go back to round two
tea break so while we're waiting for the
truck to dry
having a nice cup of tea and it's nice
we uh
now kind of realized how much the back
smelled like dust
so now that we have an actual
disinfectant and a cleaner in the racks
that we were
wiping out of there were pretty dark
afterwards so very dusty it was very
dusty a lot more dusty than we thought
so it
is smelling clean which is good so
that's why i give it a few minutes to
air out
do another round and uh that should be
good
and then we'll start uh putting the
things away
but disinfecting everything because we
don't know we never did found the mice
we only found one mouse dropping um
but obviously we heard it and it did
chew up the toilet paper
uh and a bag of nuts that i had in the
back for my midnight snack
so there you go
so the truck is now clean
disinfected and now we are going to
or rather stephen is going to put the
base back in
and then we will have the drawers
i am going to clean out the drawers and
disinfect the drawers
and also we are doesn't look very
attractive but you know
needs must to try and stop
the dirt coming in we've patched up
holes
where dust is coming in so
as i said doesn't look too fantastic but
it serves a purpose uh you just have to
make do with what you've got especially
when you're out in the middle of nowhere
what have you got to say for yourself
stevie
um i'm looking forward to getting some
goo gone
cleaning that up we'll find some some
better tape
and then also this will be the test
because i'm going to redo the seal
along the tailgate we've got some new
sealant sticker
so hopefully that'll help prevent a lot
of the dust coming in
and then also so looking forward to
getting a new topper
we just are we're just fantasizing about
getting that project
in so uh hopefully let's get a hundred
thousand subscribers so we can get one
[Applause]
the third round of cleaning is done
so the majority of the drawers are back
in
we're not putting the actual drawers
back in yet
and we found a couple more spots to
you know put some more seal in a few
places
so the drawers are still out here on the
the table we're gonna go through that
we're just gonna go through everything
and we're also i'm shouting because
we're not using the mics
also we're going to re-go through our
clothes because even though
this is all we have in our clothes
apart from our winter coats and hats we
still don't wear some of these
so we're going to go through them again
and donate anything that we haven't used
since we've been gone there it is
the donate bag
[Applause]
size comparison yeah it's not that big
but it's everything that we haven't worn
since we've been on the road this is
about the
sixth or seventh time we've gone through
our clothes and got rid of stuff well
not just our clothes but stuff in
general
and then things wear out and
[Applause]
break rip tear what have you
so i'm sure uh another three four months
i'll be doing the next round so
apart from our hoodies and our winter
coats
[Music]
that
is our whole wardrobe combined including
some winter jumpers underwear
uh socks uh obviously that's underwear
t-shirts
jumpers trousers shorts
that's it for two people
so it's now half past four in the
afternoon we've been cleaning tonto
all day cleaned everything
got rid of some more clothes re-jiggled
everything
we even put some more sealant around the
uh
the topper and the tailgate the tailgate
uh to help with dust and
now we're gonna jump in the stream
because we're hot bothered and dirty
let's go
oh boy oh that is really cold
oh
oh that's nice
that we've had a refreshing dip it is
time to take a shower
since we don't have biodegradable
shampoo we are about i'd say
25 to 30 feet away from the water so
that it doesn't run in contaminate
or anything like that so now it's time
to take our clothes off
but you're not invited
[Music]
you
