Made A Big Mistake And Had To Leave. Arriving At Camp In The Dark

I'm arriving at my camp spot a little late in the day today. So I went into my app that I save all of my favorite spots that I've been finding over the years and I remember pinning this place I don't know over five years ago now. And it's right on the river and a great spot for the night tonight. But I realized something today that I made a really big mistake. I'm unprepared to be out here and normally I have everything I need. It's my home. It's always solidly equipped. But today I made a pretty big mistake. You hear that? There's a hole in my tower somewhere. I can hear it. I just can't see it. If I can see this thing I can plug it. Oh yeah we got to get out of here. I don't have my air fill up thing for my compressor. I think I lent it to one of the guys at the shop and I never got it back. So we got to get out of here man before that tire goes flat. Damn it. There's that little town that we were we were at yesterday that's as closest to me. I don't know if that little gas station has a means of filling up air. That's the only choice we've got. We are quite a ways away from an actual town town. And if I can find that leak I can plug it. I have a plug kit. We just need air to put back in the tire. All right well we made it to Wass. I don't think the gas station is going to be open here. At least then we'll see if they have if they have air. If not we're just gonna have to park it here and hope for the best that we can find some air in the morning. They have air there hopefully it works. All right they got everything we're going to need. Let's find this hole. This thing is huge. That is going to be one mighty big hole. Oh I hope a plug fills that. That's crazy. I'm a little worried right now. This ARB kit. I just don't know if these little things are going to plug that hole or how many it's going to take. What the heck is that thing? What do I do here? All right guys wish us luck. We got 42 minutes to Port McNeil. I have a full-size spare on the back of the van and I can totally put on the full-size spare. But you know might as well just drive into a tire shop. Get that tire repaired. Well we made it to Port McNeil. I wish the brewery here was open. I think the brewery here is only open Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday or something. I damn I sure could use one tonight. All right here's the tire shop. I wonder where we can park that's not weird. Like if there's a spot right there it'd be perfect. I said there's somebody living in that trailer. Let's pull over in the parking lot over here and check on the tire. If it's not leaking any air maybe we'll just pull up in town. Tire looks good. She's sitting full. Let's go back over here and take another peek. Like there's a light on in that trailer out there and I don't want to pull up beside the trailer if somebody's actually sleeping in the trailer. You know what I mean? I think we're gonna stay here. This is right across from the tire shop. Tire shop's right there. It's super windy out there tonight. It's been windy all day. Cleaned up a little bit in here. Hey crazy. Talks a little better. Oh I heard that piggy. So I could have put my spare tire on but then I would have still had to have driven back to here to get my blown tire repaired so we could have a spare. So driving back here it's way easier. Then I don't got to worry about fussing with it. They can fuss with it. So tomorrow if they can't fix that hole because it looks like a pretty big hole. If they can't patch it and they don't have a 35 inch tire here in stock. I'm going to put my spare tire. I'm going to get them to put the spare tire on the van and then we're just going to trek back down island probably back into Parksville and order in a 35 inch ko2 so we can have a functioning tire and and a spare. So the rim that I do have hanging on the back is the exact same rims that are on the side so it can just be a full blown tire swap. No problem. All right I'm going to pick the camera up in the morning you guys and hopefully these guys can get us in right away in the morning without making us wait all day. That'd be awesome. It's six o'clock. Oh I slept really good last night. Oh that tire's good. Sweet doesn't look like I lost any air last night. Wicked. Oh that was a great night's sleep. So the tire shop here opens up at eight o'clock in the morning so since the tire is okay we're gonna drive down to the coffee shop. Maybe it's open already. Oh I hope they can get me in nice and early this morning. Okay guys. Good morning Port McNeil. These are hilarious. If you want breakfast in bed sleep in the kitchen. Thank you. Oh boy. Watching them put all that fresh baking out. Every time she brought something else out she was like putting Nutella on the top of some of them. I was like oh gosh get out of that car. Seeing the ocean all calm and peaceful today is incredible. Like those reflections on there are like this is a giant lake but it's not. It's the ocean. This was the ocean yesterday morning. When I got up I didn't film anything during the day at all because I'm like every time I turn the camera on all you could hear is wind whipping past me but I did grab some shots of the camp spot in the morning. Damn was that ever beautiful. But today is off to a good start. Fingers crossed the tire shop can get us in but no complaints. We're starting a here nice and early. That thing stayed pretty good. I don't know where it is. I don't hear it. When I was reefing on that piece last night it went boop. It got clicked out to a little point and then I bent those little things open and it stopped leaking. Great I want something like this. Yeah they're awesome dude. That's what we do at my shop. We do lift kits and Ford Econoline vans. Yeah? Yeah. Nice. Yeah we just built the shop a year ago in Coombs. Someone's taking our van. Where's he taking our van? It's always cool to see someone else roll your rig. That's a pretty sick van man. I love it that after all these years I still stoked on that van. It's so cool and get so many reactions. A bunch of guys at the coffee shop were pulling in from BC Hydro this morning and all their trucks and every one of them were just like double taking the van and pointing at the van. Either that or they were saying something bad about it. But I think they were going yo look at that thing it's cool. And even him right out the gate he's like man I want one of these. I'm like hey man we do those things just down island you know. So the guys are gonna get me all fixed up here this morning which is great. Well well it's like picking up a hooker. What's up buddy? Some of you guys remember him from a previous video. He has a bulldog named Kenny. Looks just like Kruzy. We went up in the bush once with this guy. Well there's the home. I wonder if they fixed it or if they swapped out the spare. Did you fix the hole? Cool. What was in it? I don't know what it is. Do you have it? Odd I do. Can I see it? Yeah. Yeah when I seen it in the tire I'm like what the hell is this thing? Yeah well I just got myself a badass KLR and holy crap what the hell is that thing? What the heck is that thing? That's what was in my tire. It looks like something maybe like a cotter pin went through something like that or something. That's nuts. Weird. Yeah I was looking at it. Kruzy. Oh you're a beauty. Oh these guys were awesome. They were just like hey man you gained a subscriber. I'm like wicked because as soon as I walk away he's like I'll be watching. I love that. They were pretty stoked on the rig. All right Kruzy. We good to go buddy. We good to go. I love that when you get to a small town like this and they fully take care of the travelers. It got me right in right away and that's happened multiple times on my travels where you hit a town you say hey look I'm traveling through I got a tire problem. He's like oh where you from? You tell him where you're from. He's like hey we're gonna get you in right away get you back on the road. I love that of all places and I've had subscribers reach out to me over the years and tell me that that's their company policy. That they're either in you know like mechanic shop businesses or they're in tire shop businesses and their company policy is to put those travelers if it's a small job of course get them in get them out. You know what I mean? Fast turnaround. It's a good little way to generate some quick cash and you know it's just good for business. Like these guys are awesome. So if you guys are ever out on this side of the island you got tire problems. The guys at CalTire here in Port McNeil were pretty rad. So let's go! All right we're gonna see if we can find a hardware store or some kind of a store out here and see if we can get like those air compressor fittings so we can have a functioning air compressor again. There's gotta be somewhere in town. I got it. I don't know if I got all the right stuff but I got it. All right let's go top up on some fuel and bounce out of town here. I just got some news from Amanda. She's like you should check the cameras at the shop. I looked at the cameras. The boys are starting to do the concrete driveway right now. That makes me want to go back and see the driveway. Maybe we will. We're gonna stop off and get some fuel here and then I want to pull over and put together that air thing before I leave town and make sure it works. I'll never do that again. I'll tell you I'll never ever ever take anything out of my home and put it anywhere else because when you need something in your home you expect it to be at home. Mistake. Big mistake. Won't do that again. We've been putting so much fuel in here. All this running around. It gets pricey my friends. $63.30. Since I heard that the boys at the shop are doing the concrete out there I don't want to miss that part. I've kind of watched everything come together in there and I don't want to miss out on well what is the final stages of putting it together. It's uh Thursday February 27th. I'm fine. I'm gonna edit this up and send it out to you today. So uh thanks for watching this one. A little bit of drama. A little bit of drone shots in a pretty morning. To me sounds like a mighty good day. Anyway guys Way to tell the world. What's up weirdos. Oh my throat.
