WHAT I EAT CAMPING | DELICIOUS VEGAN MEAL IDEAS
Road trip time! Come adventure with us and see what Crystal and I eat while we are camping on Vancouver Island. We visit San Josef Bay which was recently voted one of the worlds most beautiful beaches and make a few fun stops along the way.
Our first stop is Telegraph Cove. A quant little oceanside village that is all build on stilts. The second stop is Ronning's Garden which was created in the middle of the temperate rainforest in the early 1900's by an ambitious man who ordered seeds and cuttings from around the world.
During our whole adventure we share with you what we eat as vegans on a road trip to hopefully give you some ideas. Snacks, easy and healthy meals, along with some delicious treats cooked over the fire.
We finish the adventure at San Josef Bay one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Grab a snack, sit back and hang out with us for this super fun adventure!
Let us know in the comments what you thought. We love reading them!

Yes more adventures!! Loved it!!❤❤❤
You guys have had some great videos, but, by far this one is the best!! Would enjoy more like these!!!
Thank you!
This is proberly my fave video of yours derek! Absolutely loved it! Please please make more videos like this! Camping and healthy eating are like my fave things! Enjoyed this one so much. Plus, this is like goals for me and my partner.
I feel like the same! You should make a video series out of the advendtures you’re going on. I can imagine it to be a lot of effort you put in these kind of videos but so worth it!! Really appreciate it ❤
Awesome, will do then!
Yes Agreed!
I TOTALLY agree!! I absolutely loved this video and was sad that it ended so quickly (it seemed! LOL). Please do more of this kind of content. The island is such a magical place, it would be so awesome to show your guys’ adventures and how you fit being vegan in there!!
Agreed ! Loved it ! ❤
What a wholesome video! Thankyou for taking us along ❤
We lived in Comox for three years, and now we are back in the prairies. I love aspects of living here too (fantastic sunrises and sunsets, amongst other things) but I do miss and love the island. Thanks for this. Absolutely happy for more adventure content.
Thanks for sharing! I love to see Crystal and would enjoy seeing more of your adventures 🌲 Love the car camping set up!
I’m glad you’re getting into camping content. I recall live streams last year where we were asking you about doing it! So cool.
Camping in a hard-sided vehicle in that environment is also much safer to protect you against widow-makers. (dead limbs from trees that could break off and fall on your tent at night)
Hoorah at last, both of you out and about. What a wonderful place you live in, most people do not have anything like it, if i had what you have i would be camping all the time. I can’t imagine why you stopped doing ask me mondays out and about but this reminds me of that which is great.You are so, and i mean SO lucky to live where you do,the fact that you are even allowed to camp out where ever you like alone is amazing in its self….love you both,lets have more out and about for sure xxx 💚💚💚
Yes, YEs, YES! To more adventures and what you eat. My dream is to love in BC or Vancouver Isle so for now, I love watching your jaunts and so fun to see you and Crystal having fun and laughing! I car camp a lot and if you start to do it a lot, get a power station – life changing – and mark each window covering w the window it fits in. I use the silver insulation cut to fit, just a teeny tiny bit bigger so it sits in the window tightly. The woods where you awoke, STELLAR!!! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, tips, thank you! Thanks for watching!
Crystal’s laughter should be taped and sold to raise anyone’s spirit’s. XXX
haha I agree!
Loved this! You two do some great things together and I love seeing your beautiful country. Yes to more adventures 😍
My goodness there’s so much beauty to be found in this wonderous world, isn’t there? Thanks for sharing this slice of northern Vancouver Island. I’m in Vancouver and while I’ve done a lot of cycle-camping up the Sunshine Coast and around the Gulf islands I haven’t explored the island. This is one your best videos. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Well this is impeccable timing. I’m literally about to leave on a camping trip!
Awesome, I hope you have a great time!
I’ve been away from the island for 4yrs and I miss it every day. Thanks for making this video and the reminder of the beauty of the wild areas.
Wish this video had been longer… Reminds me that there’s lots of good stuff out there. Beyond social media, corrupt politicians, and people being awful, there’s nature and beauty. And, there’s good food. 😊
Love this video, I’m half Canadian and haven’t been to my other home in nearly a decade. I hate what the politicians have done but this video just captures the beauty of the nature and the energy there. Made me really miss it for the first time in years… I shall return soon. Thank you Derek.
Yes I would love to see more of the beauty where you are. I’d loved seeing the sea creatures and awesome forests. Your food could feed the would and Crystal’s laughter could bring world peace. 🥰😘😍
Yes – more of these would be great. I love seeing the scenery in that part of the world.❤
I would personally love more adventure content from you guys. I first followed for the recipes and vegan content, but I’ve grown to become very fond of you two. I’m envious of your relationship and the way you two laugh at each other’s jokes. But also the way you two are able to laugh at one another with one another. You two continue to bring positivity and joy into our lives through every video! I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that feels this way as well!
Thank you! We will definitely be going on more adventures 😀
Their relationship is definitely so cute and genuine. So jelly!
Simnett Nutrition ft. camping, the collab we’ve all been waiting for ✨
haha thank you
