And with our next big adventure around the corner, I thought it might be fun to rent a camper car this year.

But seeing as we're in Japan, I figured it'd be best to do with a little bit of a twist.

And so I rented a K.

It's a k mm hmm, mm hmm.

And if you don't know what a K car is, it's basically a type of tiny japanese car.

The engines are limited to 660 cc and 64 horsepower and you can't put more than four people in this.

Well, legally this car is actually so small that I don't think I'm gonna be able to maneuver my whole camera rig around inside to give you an idea of how big the camera rig is.

So we're going to shoot a lot of today on action cams because that's just easier.

Just just like that.

Let's take a look inside this car now for about a day and I still don't think that I found all of its cool secrets.

First things first, let me clear this out and open the doors.

Just the first really obvious feature would be this little table, it's removable.

So obviously you can take it out and it can actually be set up outside as well.

Let's clear it out and make some space.

All right now that we have it cleared out.

Let's take a peek.

So this is a gasoline powered car, but there are solar panels up on the roof And tucked in here is a 2000 watt power inverter USB and everything charging from the solar panel right now.

One of my favorite things that I have not had a chance to try out yet is the microwave, there's a microwave in here.

You gotta press this button here and the microwave turns on and I have you know what, let's coffee pizza, you know, coffee start it runs.

But I want to get a bit more light in here.

So let's open up the pop top.

Is that what it's called?

Let's call it a pop top.

You know what I've got this here, I think this is just there we go that works.

Stick it right up.

It doesn't come off easy, not super easy.

We'll figure that out later.

That's future, enormous problem.

I've been getting a lot of questions lately like how did you get this shot?

How did you get this shot?

Here we go.

And so today I thought that it might be fun to share a little bit behind the scenes as we do it and show you how do I get some of these shots.

A lot of the tricky shots are just done with tiny cameras like this one.

Like there is no way to be able to get shots into tiny little spaces like this.

Otherwise cameras just aren't going to look at this and on that note before we get into the pop up top, which I don't know if I love or if I'm terrified of.

I'm actually impressed with how much storage space it's just distributed throughout throughout this entire thing.

It is plentiful, but let's let him hear the pop up top.

So when I first found this, I thought, okay, it's just so you can stand and and have a little bit of extra space.

It is not, you can, if you wanted to, should you be so inclined, you could actually sleep up here.

Check this out.

Okay, that was the wrong way.

You take this board thing here, you lay it on, there we go.

It'll be a tight fit, but in a pinch if you really needed to or or really wanted to.

Yeah, you can sleep up here.

I also get the feeling that it would probably be a better fit for short.

People also do not mistakenly go to use these to pull yourself up otherwise you'll close the whole thing on yourself.

Not saying that I've done it also, this might be my favorite shot so far.

You know, let me show you this.

I've used the insta 3 60 go to sticky amount to just like stick it to the side of the tent.

Let's put it anywhere.

He wasn't kidding When I say, I love this little camera, let's head back down.

Also a fun little feature that you don't really expect to see in a K car.

Is this?

Yes, that is a showerhead.

I don't think it's really meant to be properly used as a shower.

Actually this right here which I opened completely improperly is a sink so you can like wash your hands and everything.

I guess in a pinch you could probably use this for a shower.

I haven't used it yet.

You may have also noticed this right here and this is a bit of a fan for at night when the air can get all the stuff you mind you, These help a lot actually it got kind of cold last night but it's got the battery meter and everything here and quite a bit of air can get pumped out of here and there's an awning.

This, this, I love this saved me last night, you've got to grab this pole out of here, hook that into there.

And then if you've ever set up an awning, it's pretty standard story and you're done.

It started raining really bad after I got here and I wanted to set up a fire and do a livestream and everything like that.

And thanks to the awning, we could and I'm sure you're wondering how comfortable it is to actually sleep in.

I slept in it last night and it was a lot of fun.

I enjoyed it.

Nighttime in this thing can be pretty cool because these are my own nights by the way, there's a light up here, but if you want privacy, which obviously you're gonna want, especially if you're sleeping at like a parking area or something you can just close these up just putting them right to the wall like that come on and you're good then as for sleeping space I would say there's just enough space to lay down diagonally.

I could probably go straight like this if I put my legs between the seats and it was okay with hitting my head or or if you're the kind of person who sleeps kind of curled up, definitely definitely enough space.

Also it's kind of like this angle let's check up.

Honestly this was a lot cooler during the daytime at night.

You become very aware that a it's it's just pure darkness out there.

You can't see anything and be if you have to go to the washroom and there's somebody sleeping right below you that it's really not an ideal situation especially if you've got like a pad and a sleeping blanket and everything like that and you can really feel it moving up here.

Okay we're gonna go ahead.

Oh you can seriously feel everything's shaking.

I'm also you have to figure out how to get this tv to work.

Probably have to run the I wonder can I reach right now?

Okay started the engine tv works fine ish.

No that's off.

Does it figure that out later When I looked at this thing today I was like no there's there's no way there's going to be enough space for me to actually sleep in that, especially with my baggage, but you move your bags up to the front seat and this thing actually feels incredibly spacious.

I still have no idea how to use that tv by the way and you're gonna have to pack up soon and head to our next campsite.

I've actually rented this for a week long adventure that's coming up in a couple of weeks on the Tokyo lens Explorer channel where we're going to do live streams in different cities and areas every single day for an entire week.

I'm lots of bugs.

I'm very, very excited about that.

But before we pack up, do you remember that that pelican case that I pulled out?

There's something I want to do with that.

Give me a second.

Mm hmm.

Although this looks like a toy.

This is one of my favorite little FTv drones from a company called Beta F.

P V.

And I can put my insta 3 60 go to.

It's actually another camera but I broke it by trying to fly it clear through the, so we're gonna give it a shot again.

Today might break another camera.

Well that one almost went better.

I could play for hours but it is time to pack this up and head to our next campsite also because the go to is magnetic and just stick it right to the side of the car.

I don't have to worry about a thing.

There we go.

Okay, okay, okay, now we're on our way.

Yeah, If you've never driven a K car by the way, there's only two types you can hear the engine right now.

There's only two types of people.

Either you absolutely love it or you absolutely hate it.

You feel every little bump and the engine has absolutely no power.

Again, it's a, it's a 64 horsepower engine at best and well they're far from being a smooth and comfortable ride.

But I kind of enjoy the novelty of it.

I like them.

I do.

So I made it up to the top of a mountain in the hopes of seeing.

Yes, I have the drone in my hands in the hopes of seeing.

So there was a rainbow a minute ago and I thought I could catch you with the drone and by the time I got back it was gone.

It was a fleeting moment.

That giant parking lot looking thing is going to be my campsite for the night.

It looks like just a giant parking lot.

But actually you can use this as a free camping space, which is why they have the washrooms.

Just put that right there.

But the road is closed during the wintertime.

So every other time that I've ever tried to come up here have been very unsuccessful.

I'm always surprised by just how big the owning is because I was about to eat.

But I want to wash my hands first and I could do it in the bathroom but all the lights are off and it's super dark.

I think this is a good chance to figure out how to use the sink.

I think I'm taking a shot in the dark.

There's no manual, Well there is a manual but it doesn't show how to put the water in, so.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Alright, that doesn't work.

I guess we're going into the dark bathroom anyway.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Alright, that should be enough.

Mhm Great.

This goes back up here for the moment of truth, nothing's happening.

Do I need a does this switch control this as well?

It might, it does.

Mm hmm it worked okay.

Alright, don't need all that.

Okay then then what?

There's a drain here but for the life of me, I I can't figure out how to get the drain too.

Mhm.

Okay.

Where is the what do we do?

You can't what?

I wonder if we could just like kind of pull it out.

I don't I don't want to break it, it's pulled out, it was upside down, someone put it in upside, it's supposed to have a little thing and you should just be able to, it was upside down.

That explains their okay and it seems like it pours out under the van, it started raining now, can you share the rain and the fire?

It's just about good, it's just coals so I should be able to have a quick bite soon and then get set up to sleep.

Yeah, I can close all the curtains, get a good night's rest.

Where did I put my sleeping bag?

There we go.

I'll obviously link the camper van down below in case you are interested future reference and all that and I will link all the little cameras that I played around with today from insta 3 60 maybe some videos.

If you want to check those out.

These ones right here the insta 3 60 go to I carry two of these on me at all times.

I use them so much that one just isn't enough storage or battery wise.

I love the fact that I can just stick it to stuff too.

I'll drop it all in the description box down below this camper van.

What do you think?

Would would you stay in this?

Would you sleep in this?

How about this part up here?

That's the part that I'm super, super curious about.

I don't know if I would stay up there like maybe if I absolutely had to but if you got to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night at least here you know you've got solid walls and everything like that.

I should close the curtains.

I don't know I like it though.

It's still one of my favorite little feature.

You just sit up there and read comics or something.

I don't know why that came to mind but it did, thank you guys so much for joining.

Let me know what you thought about the camper van down below and you know, I will see you again real soon.

I feel like there was some bloopers in this one.

Sorry, I just realized I never showed that the microwave works or not.

So I'm testing that now.

That's a chicken breast by the way and it's incredibly hot so it works.

The microwave works and wow, I jammed my thumb into it.

That was very painful.

Ah it's amazing.

I make it back from these adventures alive.

It's just okay, try it again.

It just feels so awkward to do.

It feels so vulnerable.

Also, the fake drone shot is by far one of my favorites.

Just use a really long hole.

Look at this.

Like really, it's a very, it's a very long pole but seeing as this is Japan, there's a bit of a catch, it's a truck.

Sure.

With all the curtains closed.

The audio in here is actually really and I could probably record podcasts in here podcasts on the road.

I really missed out on using this map the last time I used this thing in a video, I'm gonna use this more.
